TO 7,5l5 despite the stagnaton OF the last fout
months. This is OF much more importance TO
American industrial interests than The question
whether our raw iron can he profitable exported

1873, were sli0,6s3, against only 500, ,33l for the

A BENEVOLENT WoRK.-There is not
much romance but good deal of benev-
olence in work undertaken by two ac-
complished young ladies from Ryegate,
who are now on the second winter of la
Dor in teaching colored people, young
and old, in Alexandra, Va. Leaving
their beautiful home to live in an obscure
part of that not brilliant old city, una
BILE to find board except among the still
"despised," class for whom they came,
they have toiled on, cheered by the mu-
sic of their own piano, and the sweeter
melody of the voices they have trained
to speak the name and sing the praise OF
Him whose love constrains them. They
have more than a hundred pupils, and
have organized several hundred into a
Band of Hope for temperance. One
now "goes to the front" to aid their broth
ers in inaugurating a similar work at
Beaufort, n. C.

Two SIDES OF THE BRAIN.-We must
admit that the two sides of the brain are
completely alike in their functions, and
that one of the two alone is entirely suf-
ficient to perform the functions attributed
to both. l can show you that the pres
ent mode of education developes only
one-half the brain. 1t is very great
mistake we commit in not teaching our
children to make use of the two sides of
the body indifferentIy. We write with
one hand, we should learn to use both.
We make use of one side of the body
fer great many things, especially in
gestures. 1t is great pity, because in
developing certain sides of the body we
develop certain sides of the brain, and it
would be grest gain if we had two
brains to work with. In that case we
would not then be deprived of the power
of speech through disease of the brain,
for we could use the unaffected side. 1t
is just so with the body.-Dr. Bro,on. Sc

Sudden Warming.

A very dangerous, yet very common
winter practice, is that of suddenly
warming when very cold. We frequent
ly read in the papers of little children
falling down dead on suddenly going to
heated stove after a long walk. 9th
ers are often injured seriously who have
no guess at the true cause of the difficult
ty. Every intelligent person knows that
frozen limb will become dead flesh if
suddenly warmed. The temperature
must be raised very slowly. The limb
must be put into cold instead of warm
water, or rubbed with snow. When
limbs are half frozen, they cannot resist
the injurious effect of sudden warming.
Commissions in children occasionally oc-
cur; many more are made suddenly
faint and sick without knowing the
cause the eye-sight is often peculiar y
affected, and people call it snow-blind-
ness. All skin difficulties are greatly
aggravated by sudden warming, and
sometimes very painful ones are induced.
Ii is generally thought that chilblains
are caused by the severe cold, but the
true cause is sudden warming after they
have been very cold. 1t seems as if this
distressing malady were largely on the
increase-even very little children suf.
fer from it. Too great care cannot be
taken in this matter of warming cold
feet slowly, and by friction rather than
putting them near the hot fire.
Sudden warming, too, makes the whole
system SO subject to cold for long time
afterwards that extra garments are al
ways needed, and then the frame shivers
in what was once very comfortable tenn
perature. Physicians have observed this
in their own cases and say that they
have suffered in this way for years from
single such act of imprudence.
Use proper precaution on your own
part, and watch carefully over your
children, who of course follow their nat
ural impulse to rush to the fire when so
very cold.

ment, simply drinking half tumbler
full of warm blood twice day. This
course Mr.. c. H. Stickney, who is will

lowed until a week ago, having been
there ten weeks, and during that time
gained ten pounds in weight, and to use
his own words, My appetite is good 1

he also says there are ten or twelve 9TH
ers there drinking the blood, all of
whom are gaining under this treatment.
One gentleman from Boston, a consump-
tive, so feeble that it was with difficulty
that he could get to this abattoir, is now
able to handle an ak skillfully enough to
knock down bullock. A lady from the
city who has been sick six years, strick-
en- with paralysis, is improving wonder
fully by this blood cure. A gratifying
feature of this cure is that it is " without
money and without price" and Mr..
Stickney speaks in praise of the gentle
men in charge Of the establishment and
says strangers visiting the place will find
courteous treatment.-Boston Journal.

The SIAMEsE TwINs.-Dr. William
Hollingsworth, who attended the Siamese
twins, is of the opinion that the death of
Eng was not caused by any vital connec-
ton or artery passing from one to the
other through the ligament that united
them, and believes that there was no
such vital connection through the liga-
ment, because he has attended the twins
when one was sick and the other in good
health, and when there was as much as
twenty beats difference to the minu,e in
their pulsation. The doctor is of the
opinion that the great terror inspired by
such union with death, added to the
belief which prevailed between them,
that when one died the other would, was
what caused Eng's death. These COM
bined to destroy his mental faculties and
his physical energies, and he succumbed
to the dread visitation. The doctor does
not believes that if the ligament had been
severed Eng's life would have been saved,
but thinks any operation, unless perform

Chang's death, would have hastened
Eng's death.

A REMARKABLE ADvENTURE.-Two
men named Melvin and Smith we're
fishing through the ice on Lake Michi-

thus engaged we're cut off from the shore
by the separation of the portion of the
ice upon which they happened to be at
the time. All their attempts to escape
from their frail raft we're unavailing.
With them they had a few fish, their
spears, handsled and some blankets.
With only these for food and shelter they

fellows to land and life again. Their feet

their absence their friends had made
vigorous efforts for their rescue, sending
out tug to search for them.

AN OLD MAIDS LOVE REcoLLEC-
TIoNs.-How pretty and fresh our home
was then, in the valley yonder He was
our neighbor's son, and honest, and in
dustrious, and handsome. People may
be offended with me If they like, but so
it is; but he, | cannot name his name,
though every one knows, all the same,
that he was called Anton Striegler. He
was resolved to 90 travelling and so he
went off to foreign parts with merchandise;
and by the brookside he took leave of me,
and said, Frances, so long as that brook
runs, / will be faithful and true at heart
to you, and be you the same to me. He
could say those fine words, and write
them down too; that is the way with
these false men | could never have be-
lieved it. In the course of four years /
got seventeen letters from him-from
France, England, and Spain. The let
ter from England cost me, at the time, a
crown dollar, for it came at the moment
when Napoleon did not choose us to re-
ceive either foreign letters or coffee; so
our pastor said the letter had come round
by Constantinople and Austria, but at
all events, it cost whole crown dollar.
For long, long time after, | never got
one. l waited fourteen years, then l
heard that he had married woman in
Spain. / never wanted to hear any
more of the bad man, and none could be
worse. And then | took out of my
drawer the fine letters, the fine deceptive
letters that he had written to me, and |
burned them all, my love going off with
them in smoke up the chimney.

An Encounter with a Gorilla.
BY PAUL DU CHAILLU.


He was about twenty yards off when
we first saw him. We at once gathered
together; and was about to take aim
and bring him down where he stood,
when Malaouen stopped me saying in a
whisper, not time yet.
We stood, therefore, in silence, gun in
hand. The gorilla looked at us for a
minute or two out of his evil gray eyes,
then beat his breast with his gigantic
arms-and what arms he had then he
gave another howl of defiance and ad-
vanced upon us. How horrible he looked!
l shall never forget it.
Again he stopped, not more than ff-
teen yards away. Still Malaouen said
not yet. Good gracious I! what is to be-
come of us if our guns miss fire, or we
only wound the huge beast Again the
gorilla made an advance upon US. Now
he was not twelve yards off | could see
plainly his ferocious face. 1t was dis
torted with rage; his huge teeth were
ground against each other so that we
could hear the sound; the skin of the
forehead was drawn forward and back
rapidly, which made his hair move up
and down and gave truly devilish ex-
preston to the hideous face. Once more
he gave out roar which seemed to
shake the woods like thunder l could
really feel the earth trembling under my
feet. The gorilla, looking US in the eyes,
and beating his breast advanced again.
Don't fire too soon, said Malaouen; if
you do not kill him he will kill you.
This time he came within eight yards
of us before he stopped. was breathing
fast with excitement as | watched the
huge beast.
Malaouen said only, steady, as the 60
rilla came up. Then he stopped. NAL
aouen said, now and before he could ut
ter the roar for which he was opening
his mouth, three musket balls were in
his body. He fell dead almost without a
struggle.
He was a monstrous beast, indeed,
though not among the tallest. His height
was five feet six inches. His arms had a
spread of seven feet two inches. His
broad, brawny chest measured fifty inch
es and three-quarters in circumference.
His arm seemed like immense punches
of muscle only and his legs and claw
like feet were so we'll fitted for grabbing
and holding, that could see how easy
it was for the negroes to believe that
these animals, when they conceal them
selves in trees and watch for their prey,
can seize and pull up with their feet, any
living thing, leopard, OK or man, that
passes beneath.
The face of this gorilla was intensely
black. The vast chest, which proved
his great power, was bare, and covered
with parchment-like skin. His body
was covered with gray hair. While the
animal approached in its fierce way,
walking on its hind legs, and facing us
as few animals dare face man, it really
seemed to me to be horrible likeness OF
man.

Toes.

We are accustomed to use our toes so
very little. that for all the practical pur-
poses of life we might almost as we'll be
without any. They were intended, in
the first place. to give fexibility to the
foot, and to help US in our walking; but
the modern custom of cramping them up
in tight shoes makes them almost as i'm
movable as if they grew together. So
the help they give us in walking is not
so much after all. And as for putting
them to any other use, we never think of
it. We abuse them dreadfully some
times cramp and torture them, and
pinch them out of all likeness to their
original shape, until they would never
be known for the pretty, perfect little
baby toes that we like to cuddle, and
count, and 60 to market with, grown up.
Who, for instance, would ever imagine
that the second toe is intended to be
longer than the first And yet in per-
feet foot it always Is, though we are
obliged to 60 to statues and paintings to
find it out. And who, putting foot and
a modern narrow-toed shoe side by side,
would ever suspect they were intended
for each other2 The fact is, our toes are
our most abused members, and so we
don'tget half the good from them thatwe
might. The Chinese. and the Japanese,
and the Bedouin Arabs, it is said, from
continual practice, use their toes nearly
as well their hands. They can pick up
their tools with them and even work with
them while they do something else with
their hands. Arabs braid ropes with
their fingers and toes working together
in concert Chicago Aduance.

The SCARLET FEvER.-Robert Chris
tie, of the Potrero, suggests remedy
for scarlet fever, which he AYERS has in
variably proved successful. 1t is very
simple, and lies within the reach of those
whose limited means preclude them from
employing the service of physician.
1t is this Take an onion and cut it in
halves, cut out portion of the centre,
and into the cavity put spoonful of
saffron put the pieces together, then
wrap them up in cloth and bake them
in an oven until the onion is cooked SO
that the juice will run freely; squeeze
out all the juice and give the patient a
teaspoonfull, at the same time rubbing
the chest and throat with goose grease
or rancid bacon, if there is any cough
or soreness in the throat. In a short
time the fever will break out all over the
body. All that is then necessary is to
keep the patient warm and protected
from draught, and the recovery is GER
tain. Mr.. Christie says he has been en-
ploying this remedy for many years, and
never knew it to fail when proper care
was taken of the patient after its appli-
cation. One family in which there were
FIVE children down with the disease at
one time recently used this simple reme-
dy upon his telling them of it, and ev-
cry one recovered in short time.-San
Francisco Chronicle
