Novel Remedy for Hysteria.

DIR. Brown.Sequard says: The daugh-
ter of friend Of mine was attacked
with q fit of hysteria every morning.
i succeeded for time in breaking up
the fit by the use Of violent means for
half an hour before the paroxysm was
duo. But after time tho means |
used completely failed. My friend then
went TO see gymnast in Paris named
Triat, who was far moro daring than
/ am, and was in the habit of treating
hysteria in very bold and unique
way. Ho used to take his patients, as
he did this lady, up q ladder, after
having bandaged their eyes SO that
they could see nothing.
After they had assembled to the
height of about twenty feet, he made
them walk very carefully on plank
that was about seven or eight inches
in width. He, of course, was a gym
mast, and accustomed to walk there,
so that he could easily lead the per-
son forward. When the young lady
had reached the middle of the plank,
which was pretty long-for it was a
large gymnasium-be said to his pa.
tient, "Now you are perfectly safe,
and there is no possibility of your fit
coming on again" He had previ.
ously assured her that this means was
infallble; had referred to hundreds
of previous cases, and exaggerated his
success in order to act on the mind of
the patient
"Now," said he, 'after | have left
you will not try TO lift up the piece
of cotton wool that is fixed on your
eyes until one minute has elapsed, -
He started away and left the patient
there in great danger, as you may
imagine, of falling. After minute
had passed the patient removed the
bandage and opened her eyes. For
tunately for Mr.. Triat no accident has
ever occurred there. How many pa
tients he cured that way / don't know;
but | know the daughter of my friend
was certainly cured.

HuMoR AND SARcAsM.-It is not
everybody who knows where to joke,
or when, or how; and whoever is ignor-
ant of these conditions had better not
joke at all. A gentleman never at
tempts to be humorous at the expense
Of the people with whom he Is but
slightly acquainted. In fact, it is
neither good manners nor wise policy
to joke at anybody's expense; that is
to say, make anybody uncomfortable
merely to raise laugh. Old Esop,
who was doubtless the subject of many
a gibe ON account of his bumped back,
tells the whole story in his fable Of
"The boys and the frogs" What was
jolly for tho youngsters was death to
tho croakors, A Jest may cut deeper
than curse. Some mon are 80 con-
stituted that they cannot take friend
ly joke in good part, and, instead of
repaying 1t In the same light coin, will
requite it with contumely and insult.
Never banter ono of this class, or he
will brood over your bandinage long
after you have forgotten it, aud it is
not prudent to incur any ones enmity
for the purpose Of uttering sharp
ropartcc. Ridicule, at best, is o dan.
gerous weapon. Satire, however,
when loveled at social tollies and polit.
lcal evils, is not only legitimate but
commendable. 1t has shamed down
moro abuses than wero ever abolished
by force oflogic. 'H' +

How MARBLES ARE MApE.--The
chief place of the manufacture of mar
bles-those little pieces of stone which
contribute SO largely to the enjoy
ment of boys--is at Oberstein, on the
Maize, in Germany, where there are
largo agate mills and quarries, the re.
fuse of which is carefully turned to
good paying account by being made
into small balls, employed by experts
to knuckle with, and are mostly sent
to the American market.
The substance used in Saxony is q
hard, calcareous stone, which is first
broken into blocks, nearly square, by
blows with a hammer. These arc
thrown, by the hundred or two, into
a small sort of mill, which is formed
OF a fiat, stationary slab of stone, with
number of eccentric burrows upon
its face. A block of oak, or rather
hard wood, Of the same diametric size,
is placed over the stones and partially
resting upon them. The small bloci,
of wood is kept revolving while the
water flows upon the stone slab. In
about fifteen minutes the stones arc
turned into spheres, and then, being
1T for sale, are henceforth called mar.
blcs. One establishment, with but
three mills, turns out 10000 marbles
each week. Agates are made into
marbles at Oberstein, by first chipping
the pieces neatly round with ham.

Japanese Dwellings,.

The streets of Yokohama are wide
and straight. Each house is built of
wood, without an atcm of paint, and is
real toy-house, a genuine Liliputian
Swiss chalet, built with taste,
nicely, and a neatncss which are ad-
mirablc. The japanese are wonderful
workers in wood, and it is a pleasure to
see the roofs, so light and yet so strong,
supported by walls that are made,
like the side-scenes in q theatre, of thin
strips of wood, over which are pasted
sheets Of cottony transparent paper.
In the evenings, when the lanterns dis
pcnse their soft light round the inside
of these white buildings, the spectator
seems to be looking at magic-lantern.
During the daytime the sides Of the
houses are slipped out, as side-scenes
are, and the house becomes only roof
resting on the four light corner posts,
the whole interior being thus opened to
the air. Every part of the house is ex-
posed to view, and every thing done in
II can be seen, while behind it appear
the charming verdure, the cascades,
and the diminutive plantations of the
little gardens situated in the rear.

Flowers as Ministers to Health.

Window gardens arc tho lovolicst
finish TO q city dwelling. That they
arc useful as we'll as ornamental is not
sufficiently considered, else they would
bc oftener sccn The trouble to nice
housekceper in town Is that tho air
coming in from the street Is not clean.
Her house may bc spotless; that is In
her power, but throw up tho window
for fresh air, and instead enters q cur
rent, tainted slightly perhaps but quito
pcrcoptibly, with manifold defilcments;
and this she knows is not only disagree
able but mischievous. Now suppose
box is fastened outside the window and
filed with dozen or more pots Of fra
grant flowers in vigorous growth, the
tonic and purifying proprietics of this
fragrance would alter the character Of
tho inblowing air, and there is no tell
ing how much sickness might thus be
warded of. Hyacinths are in order
now OF course while winter fingers
they must be kept on the warm side of
the glass; and tulips are not all show,
but breathe out o subtle sweetness OF
their own. A box of mignonette tho
full length Of the window-sill is not
hard to grow, and the bloom continues
long. The air that blows over daffo-
dis and purple violets is not only
suggestive of country freshness, 1t is
actually siited from city contamina-
tions, and enriched with the tonic
forces spring breeze ought to have.
Frequent changes and constant at
tention are necessary to keep q window.
garden in order. To be ministers of
health flowers must be in healthful
condition. The life-principle, ozone,
so abundant in sweet-smelling plants,
is generated in proportion to the thrift
ty growth. 1t would be we'll TO SOW

wholesome exhalations in the sun

keep a constant succession of these
delightful disinfectants, pleasing soul
and sense alike, and all the time quietly
bcnefcently medicating the air for our
breathing.

A SpUNKY DRINKER. Monday

dressed gentleman, rather tipsy, being
espicd by Judge Bucher in the court
room, was called before his honor, and
interrogated as to whero he got his
liquor; but hc refused or was unable to
answer, whereupon the Judge sent him
to Jail. After lying in limbo until
Saturday, he was again brought before
The court-this time perfectly sober
and again interrogated as to where he
got the liquor. Ho replied that he
could not tell without being guilty of
a breach Of confidence, and therefore
must decline to do so. "Well," said
Judge Bucher, "you will have to de-
eide between telling and going to jail
for contempt Of court" Picking up

around, saying, "Come on, Sheriff, I'll

laced coat into the mud for Elizabeth

proud Queens favor. The politician
who has this advantage easily distances
all rival candidates, for overy voter he
speaks with becomes instantly his
friend. The very tones in which he,
asks for pinch ofsnuff are often more
potent than the logic of Webster or

made scoundrels successful, while the

GOODNESS, have done themselves meal

John d. Strananan, of Erie county,
has recovered q verdict against tho
Pennsylvania Railroad company for
sl,39240, for burning his barn. Tho
barn stood over ono hundred feet away
from the line Of the road and took Gre
from the burning fence and grain in
its vicinity which had been kindled by
sparks from the locomotive of q passing
train, Oct. 0, 1867. The defense was
that the railroad company used the
bost smokestacks they could get and
exercised ordinary care. This decision
is important to parties living along
the lines Of railroads.
