4 NEW DISEASE.

DIR. Gait, in his Medical Notes on
the Upper Amazon" has furnished some
curious information on the strange prac-
ticc known as Geophagic,' or dirt
eating. This disease, according to DIR.
Gait, now counts as one of the chief en-
demic complaints of all tropical Ameri-
ca !; and, at u distance of over 1000
miles from the sea, ON the Amazon val
ley, where the negro is rarity, being
merely waif from Brazil OF the Pacific
coast, it is the most important disease
among the children and women of the
country. On the Maranon the half
breeds are mostly addicted to the prac-
tice of irt-eating-neither the pure
savage nor the more cultivated being so
often the victims. Children commence
the practice from the time they are four
years old, or less, and frequently die
from the results in two or three years.
In other cases they grow to manhood or
womanhood, and DR.. Gait speaks of
having himself seen in the case of Il
Mcstize soldier who was dying from dys-
entery, which sooner or later superycnes
on this habit, the poor creature, half an
hour before his death, detected with IL
lump of clay stuffed in his sunken
checks.

METHOD OF TALKING.

Talk often III company, and in way
which shows that you understand what
is said around you. But do not talk
long. In that case you are apt to tire
your hearers. There are many persons
who, though they have nothing to talk
of, never know when to leave off talking.
There are some who labor under so great
and Unsuitable II desire for talking that
they will even interrupt others when
about to speak. We should in society
never talk of our own or others domes-
tic affairs. Yours are of no interest to
them, and theirs should not be to you.
Besides, the subject is of so delicate
nature that with the best intentions 1T IS
a chance if we do not make some mortl-
flying mistake, or wound the feelings OF
some of the company.

titic tastes led him to collect the skulls
of celebrated persons, one day received

Portland Press "Mrs. Hathaway, of
Temple, will be ninety-nine years old

tobacco, and has done so since she was
girl. She formerly drank spirituous
liquors, but ceased using them some
years ago on account of the high price,
poor quality, and difficulty of obtaining
supply under the Maine prohibitory
laws. She does her own work, build
ing fires, sweeping, cooking, and dis
charging all the ordinary duties of the
head of farm household"

from Liverpool he cum down to me in Il
precious hurry, lookin us if somethn'

bless yer soul, to see the way that little

bulkin, black-bearded fellow, with a
look 'ud ha' frightened horse, and A

SLEEP As A HEDICINE.


A physician says the cry for rest has
always been louder than the cry for
food. Not that it is more important,
but it is often harder to obtain. The
best rest comes from Il sound sleep. OF
two men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritabllity of tenn
per, peevlshness, lmeasiness. 1t will
restore to vigor an overworkcd brain.
1t will build up and make strong II weary
body. 1t will cure headache. 1t will
cure broken spirit. 1t will cure sor-
row. Indeed we might make long list
of nervous and ether maladies that sleep
will cure. The cure of sleeplessness re-
quires Il clean, good bed, sufficient eXer
else to produce WEAKNESS, pleasant oc-
cupation, good air, and not too warm u
room, a clear conscience, and avoidance
of stimulants and narcotics. For those
who are overworked, haggard, nervous,
who pass sleepless nights, We commend
the adoption of such hahits as shall
secure sleep otherwise life will be
short, and what there is of it sadly I'M
perfect.

TO CIElN PAINT.

A correspondent Of the Co"ntry GEN.
Hmot says: Use but little water at
once keep it warm and clean by chang
ing it often. A flannel cloth takes off
all fly spccks better tIpln cotton. Soap
will remove the paint, SO use but little
Of it. Cold tea is the best liquid for
cleaning vanished paint, window panes
and mirrors. A saucer of sifted ashes
should always be standing ut hand to
clean unyalnishcd paint that has be-
come badly smoked it is better than
soap. Never put soap upon glass unless
it can be thoroughly rinscd of, which
can never be done to window-glass.
Wash off the specks with warm tea, and
rub tho paucs dry; then make IL paste
of hitting and water, and put IL little in
the Inter of each pane. Take II dry
cloth and rub it all over the glass, then
rub ii of with Il chamoi5 skin or flannel,
and your glass will shine like crystal.

EEA UTT or THE HUNAN F0OT.


Says writer in 81. Puuls liotJu-
si,ic::
When we saw "Pygmalion and Gala
tea recently performed, we We're struck
with II peculiar movement in the actors
feet, which, for Il time, sitting atar of,
We did not understand. With every
step, with every turn of the ankle, a
kind of delicate ripple passed over the
instep as a thrill runs through corn
field sometimes under Il tender wind
We were surprised to see how beautiful
the movements were, how graceful were
the lincs from the ankle in every posi-
ton. Presently we discovered that the
beauty and the grace were due to the
absence of shoes. On inspection, the
feet of the ladies were not particularly
small, yet they were better than the

not appear lovely. The actresses were,
i'll fact, thinly stockinged, with sandals

little we gain, that it is ii Thousand

CHINESE TEA-MAKING.-Our celestial

mixing them with water into u sort of
paste, swallow-one can scarcely say

parts of Tartary have a more curious

of mixing it with water, they substitute

VOLUME ii.
ny VOTHER'S !SPINNING- pHEEL
BY j. d. ROBERTS.

How often, in my waking dreams,
lip the old garrct steps climb,
Where struggling streams of light reveal
A relic of the olden time.
rrlic Of tn" olden time,
Which dust and cobwchs half conceal,
As useless lumber slowed away
My mothers spinning-whccI.
In the old garrct now il stands,
It's hnSy hum is heard no more
Broken aud tangled are its bands,
The disian on the dusty floor;
For long ago were laid away
In the cold chant ers of the dead,
Jh. feet that turned the busy wheel
Tho hands that deftly drew the thread.
Day after day, with patient toll,
At the same wheel she sat and spun,
And drew the thread with dcxtrous hand,
Until the woof and warp was done,
And sometimes in my pensive moods,
The tears adown my cheeks would steal,
As the soft music of her voice
Bent with the whirring of the wheel.
How often, IN my childhood days,
listened to those soothing lays!
Not dulcet sound of harp and lutte
Seemed half so sweet in after DAYS
My mother! All, that sacred name,
What memories DER my spirit steal.
Methinks see her, as of yore,
Sitiiug nrI singing at her wheel.
Just as of yorc | see her now
The wheel, the dstaff and the chair;
The sunbeans playing round her head,
And nesting in her silver hair:
Oh, vain Illusion Well know
The sands have from her hour-glass run
The weary wheels of life ave stopped,
And all her work on earth is done!
The soothing whir of that old wheel
No more shall DER my spirit come;
PEI haps my feet no more shall cross
The threshold of my early home;
Yet oft my early thoughts will turn
From present scenes away, and steal
Up the old garrct stairs, where stands
My mothers little spinning wheel
The pleasing dreams of other years
Have like the mists of morning flown
My form is bowed with toll and care,
And have old and weary grown.
And toward the grave, from day to day,
My steps decline, and just before
Runs the dark river that divides
Our land from that mysterious shore.
My feet are wounded by the thorns
That are i'll my pathway strewn;
And oh, how many tear-dmmed page
Is from the book of memory torn,
But not while life and memory last
Can forget or cease to feel
Emotions that my bosom swell.
AT sight of this old spinning s-whecl.
