Humanity in War.

We havo IN instance OF humanity in
the war OF 1906 between France and
Austria. II is related of the Archduke
Charles thht when fastening from Bo-
hemia to take command OF the Austrian
army, he met, near the scene OF late
action, n large number Of wounded SOL
diers, both French and Austrian, who,
in tho haste OF retreat and pursuit, had
been abandoned where they had fallen.
The only horses at hand which could
possibly be used in removing these help
less sufferers were attached to the
artillery. -.
"Let the cannon be left behind" said
the humane prince, "and let these poor
fellows be saved" And when ono OF his
generals demonstrated, he ded,-"No,
no,-let II be rs I have ordered. The
Life Of one brave man is better worth
preserving than fifty pieces OF ord
nance" ..u.
When tho French General Moreau,
into whose hands the cannon thus aban-
doned had fallen, learned the motive
which had prompted the Archduke to
make the sacrifice, he ordered the whole
to be restored, observing that he should
be unworthy OF being the opponent Of
his imperial highness II he took adyan-
tage OF so noble an act OF humanity.

It is no nolongerpossible to know every
thing. A universal scholar will bo no
moro seen among men,. The range Of
human knowledge has increased so
vastly, has swept out aud away so far
and SO fast, that no brain, bc its quanti-
ty or quality what it may, can, in tho
years commonly given to nun, even
survey tho field. A man, therefore,
must make up his mind, il he propose
to learn anything, to be content with
profound Ignorance OF great many
other things. 1t is bitter thing, per.
haps, but It is fact, that a man who
would know anything in this century
must purchase his knowledge with vol
untary and chosen ignorance Of hun
dred other things. One must choose
his speciality, and devotion and dill
gcnce in that is the price he pays for
success. 1t is with doing as 1t is with
knowing. There is only n certain
amount OF work in any case. He can
not do everything. Nevertheless, every.
thing needs doing. All about him is
undone work clamoring for hands.
There are two courOcs before one. To
undertake everything, to fret and grieve
because one finds this and that undone,
aud to make spasmodic efforts to do it
this is the way OF failure. Resolute-
ly to make up ones mind to let, as far
rs he is concerned, the most thAt should
DO done stay undone still, to steel ones
heart against demands and necessities,
to resist all inducements to put forth n
single effort, to close oneseyes to 1t all,
and to stick heart, hand, life, and love
to the thing man undertakes and calls
his own-that is the way Of success.
Life is very short, and the single brain
and hand, at best, very weak, and there
are thousands OF things to know and to
do. One must choose, and bo content
with his choice. And SO it comes to
pass that now, at lust, the measure OF q
mans learning will be the amount Of
his voluntary Ignorance, the measure of
his practical Effectiveness the amount
what he is content TO leave unattemp-

A Prudent Husband.

When Hon. Wm. @. Bradley, late Of
Westminster, was member of Congress,
hc was won't TO be visited on his return
from the annual session OF Congress, by
simple minded neighbor, WHO would
sit the entire evening, and sometimes
till twelve o'clock, asking questions, rtn.
til the patience of Mr.. Bradley was
thoroughly hlyexhausted. Onone occasion
Mr.. Bradley determined to bo rid Of
his unwelcome visitor, without doing
any violence TO hisurbanity. When the
visit had been sufficiently protracted,
he said to his friend:
"SIr. A., when l was in Washington,
one OF the foreign ministers was kind
enough to give me- root which, when
tasted, has the power OF comforting i'm
mortality; at least no Que who has ever
tasted il has since died. When you go
1 will give you n small piece Of it."
In n few minutes Mr.. A. roso and
said he would go and should esteem it
an everlasting favor to have q small
piece of that root.
Mr.. B. retired and soon brought back
q piece Of rhubarb root done up in pa.
per and gave 1t to his visitor with in.
functions to uso great care Of it and
keep 1t secret,
Mr.. A. left tho room, but in n few
moments returned, aud sticking his
head inside tho door, exclaimed, "Mr,
b., n thousand times obliged to you
for this root, but | will take 1t Gs n
special favor i you will not give any Of
II to my wife"

The IlalstOn Inclined Railway.

At the head OF the Lycoming Creek
valley, near Ralston, in Pennsylvania,
Is the inclined railway to the Mclntyre
coal mines, which serves to carry the
coal from tho pits to the railroad at the
foot Of the mountain. The lower
terminus is situated but short distance
from the track, and q few steps carry
the visitor to the bottom OF the slope.
AS We enter the shed built across the
rails, an empty cur starts out and goes
whizzing up the hill. Directly another
chr starts into view at tho top Of the in-
cline, meets the up-going car midway,
thunders down with increasing momen-
tum, and shoots past lis into the valley.
What is that cavity for ?" We ask,
referring to depression under the
track inside tho shed. The starter i'm
forms us that 1t is where the bumper
goes in to let the car pass on, and just
then, an empty car being hauled up
from the siding, he pulls q signal wire
communicating with the other end OF
the road. Tho stout wire cable in the
middle Of tho track begins to move,
and n heavy wedge shaped mass of
timber comes up from the cavity, broad
end first, strikes the car with shock
that sends it some feet up the slope,
and stops it on its return. 1t saves the
trouble Of hooking and unlocking the
cable, we are told, and is much safer.
When it arrives at the bottom Of the
slope, n spring changes the gage OF the
wheels it then runs along narrow
track into the hole, and the car passes
over.
At tho invitation Of tho starter, We
enter the empty car. The signal is
given, and before our equilibrium is 70.
covered from the jerk that nearlyupsets
US, we are rushing up the slope. The
cable sliding over the rollers produces
whirring sound that makes our fierce
motion seem all the tiercer, while the
steepness OF tho descent and the absence
Of visible motive power combine to
heighten the effect OF the ride. The
mountain seems to grow beneath and
above us, rs the valley expands aud
deepens below. We stop on the verge
to look down thousand feet beneath (;
and then. jumping into loaded car
which comes swiftly by, We begin the
descent. The speed is great, but there
is no fear.inspiring rush, no blur Of
objects hurtling past. We look out
into the valley II rises slowly as We
descend, and that is all. Not until we
shoot through the shed aud out upon
the level, do we realize that our motion
has been particularly rapid or peculiar.

Milk. Ten and Coffee.

Prof. Loomis thus speaks Of milk,
tea and coffee
"NIilk contains in solution not only
duo proportion OF carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen and nitrogen, but all the other
elements necessary for tho construction
OF bone, nerve, &C., and hence IL always
proper food in all circumstances OF
health.
"Tea derives its beneficial qualities
not from its direct supply Of nutrition,
but from its atfording peculiar sub.
stance called theme, tho effect Of which
in the system ia TO diminish the waste,
thus making less food necessary. Tea
thus has positive economic value, not
rs supplying but saving nutriment.
Coffee, though Of taste SO little
allied to tea, derives its value in pre-
cisely the same manner and from nearly
tho same substances. It's value and
effect in the systom arc therefore the
same as the above stated. II is hence
evident that milk, tea and coffee are
valuable articles Of food under all con-
ditions Of temperature"
Yet it must be generally conceded
that free coiiee.drinker will almost
invaribly complain OF biliousness and
have acadaycrousappearance. Forwork-
people, coffee will seldom produce
this effect; but for all persons Of seden-
tary habits who take little exercise,
coffee is no to be recommended. Tea
as substitute is greatly to bc pre-.
ferred, as it is equally refreshing and
strengthening nnd produces no bad

Substitute for Milk.

It may not be generally known to our
readers TINT Prof. Justus V. Liobig has
not only devised plan for making nm
extract OF meat for invalids, and n soup
to replace the mothers milk in rearing
infants, but that he also turned his at.
tention to dumb animals, and invented
sort OF food for young calves. The
results of some experiments made with
this food, upon a farm near Eyrichsho-
fare, described In letter to Baron
Liebig, from which We learn that, not
only do calves grow and do well on this
food, but that pigs also do well on it,
aud that diArrhna is entirely prevented
by its use. The proportions given by
Baron Liebeg, aro as follows: $50 grams,
second grade, wheat flour is mixed with
with four liters OF water aud two OF milk,
and boiled; two liters mure Of milk are
added. thirty.six grams Of potash solu.
ton 1.-TWO parts bicarbonate OF potash in
eleven parts water), and $50 grams Of
ground malt. It put in warm place
and stirred for half an hour, then boiled
up and strained through gauze.

The Manufacture Of Kid Gloves.

Gloves are made Of goats skins, and
their value depends upon the quality
Of those skins, and they, in turn, upon
the place where, and the food upon
which the goats arc reared, Tho noun
tain goat has the fairest and best skin,
while the falkland goat is somewhat
inferior in quality, The hair is remoy-
ed by tanning, which process occupies
about four weeks; the skin is then
handed to the "scraper," who smoothes
and equalizes the body Of the frbric.
II Is then dyed, which causes shrink
age Of the pores, after which comes the
process Of soitening. Tho cutters and
sizers prepare 1t for the girls to sew,
and they are furnished on an average
Of two pairs for each workwoman per
day. They arc then carefully packed
for shipment. Thus, before the gloves
can bc put on shipboard, there arc nine
processes needed.

OrIgIn Of a plaguO EpIdenlIc.

The plague that for the last two years
has been raging in Persian Kurdistan
had its origin, according to the report
OF commission sent To ascertain the
nature and source Of the disease, in the
opening Of some old caves, which forty
years ago served rs burial places for the
victims Of former epidemic. The first
appearance of the pestilence was at a
village situated some 5000 feet above
the level OF the Black sen, and contain
ing in Rll about 100 families; 1870 per-
sons were attacked, of whom 100 died.
"The village" says the London Times,
/" like all other Kurdish villages, was
abundantly filthy within, but it was
well supplied with pure water from the
hills, and the houses stood apart from
each other, freely exposed to the sun
and wind. The history Of the mode Of
seizure Of the two persons who had
been earliest attacked with plague
one Of whom lived to tell his own story
-was obtained by the commission.
There could DO no suspicion Of conta-
gion brought from elsewhere, rs plague
was not known to exist either in Asia
Minor or in Persia in the summer or
autumn of 1870. One Of the persons
earliest attacked was seized a'few hours
after he had been engaged in tho work
Of excavating o cavern for harboring
sheep among the hills near the village,
While thus engaged he had disinterred
n quantity Of human bones. The other
person had also been attacked soon Ut.
ter removing some human bones which
hc had found in neighboring cavern
in which flocks were sheltered. Now,
the commission ascerLained TINT the
places in which the bones had been found
we're the spots where the dead who had
died from an attack Of plague which
had depopulated some Of the villages Of
tho district forty years before had been
buried. During 1S29.-'32 it is well
known that plague was widely dissent
mated in northwestern Persia, Asia
Minor, and Arabin. The recent out
break in Persian Kurdistan, in short,
followed almost Immediately upon the
opening Of the two old plRgle.pits, and
tile commission believes that to this
opening the outbreak owed its origin.

Grainins or Initiating Wood.

According to patent recently issued
to Mr.. John Johnston OF New York,
graining, or initiating wood, may DO
accomplished in tho following manner {:
A glass plate, preferably thick even
plate, has wrought upon It with pencil
or brush, with asphaltum, wax, grease
or fatty substances, such figures and
confgurations as shall form the design
seen OH the surface Of plancd wood.
The glass is then etched by the use Of

Is sufficiently deep the plate is cleaned

surface 10 spread over evenly, with oil.

with q scraper OF soft wood, which,
drawn over the surface Of tho plate,
leaves the color only, on tho etched
spots. A printers roller Of the proper
circumference and Widths then passed
over the whole surface Of tho prepared
plate, by which the design is transferred
10 the roller. Then this roller Is rolled
over the surface Of the wood 10 he grain.
ed. It Is claimed that this method Is
equally applicable to metal, paper, or
any substance or composition, aud that
any desired number OF impressions can
be taken quicker, cheaper, and more
readily oven by inexperienced hands,
and that, therefore, the Ukill Of the ex-
periunced grainer can bo expended on
q series Of plates, without requiring bis
time orservces in copying, thus max
ing the procehso cheap, rapid and perfect.
In adapting the process 10 printing on

TREES on THE PRAlRlE.-Hon. Igna.
thus Donnelly urges the planting Of
trees along the roads on tho prairies,
as the best protection against such loss
OF life as occurred in Minnesota. Says
he "I remember last fall driving
with horse and buggy, in the face Of a
fierce wind, from Hastings to Farming
ton, over tho prairie. At one place the
road is planted on both sides with
cottonwoods and willows and when
we entered between these rows Of trees,
It was like driving into barn the roar

Not only in our own country did his

but In England and France unbonndcd
praise was accorded to him. Modest in
demeanor, he received all honors
bestowed upon him with unassuming
courtesy. One OF his most wonderful
feats was that OF playing eight games at
the same table while blindfolded. This
was performed at the Cafe do Ia Re-
genco, in Paris, whittier noted men
were drawn from all parts OF the Con.
