The Two Upper Trolan-tbe Loser, Pre- n stone.
On the lst Of April, 1872 Schliemann, accompanied
by his wife usual reached the rroad, and resumed
operations with force of 100 workmen. He brought
with him two Oyerseers, furnished by Mr. Latham,
director of the railway from the Preus Athens and
NJ. Laurent a French engineer who made q careful
survey Of the localities. The expenses thus assumed
for the excavations amounted to something more
than 81 900 per month, emitting the Greek Holt

only give hasty outline of the progress Of the
researches Interesting it is, from first to last,
the Of details would only confuse the reader who
il simply DESTROYS of knowing how Troy was found
and what was found there Schliemann began by
laying ont the plan of a cut, 46i feet deep and
233 feet English broad through the upper and lower
plateaux, including therein his cut of 1871 The
engineer calculated that the amount Of debris to be
removed would measure 7S.5I5 cubic meters-about
10000 cubic yards-au of which 1t was necessary to

the plain below At the proposed depth it was sup
posed that the bedrock at least the original soil
would be reached.
On beginning to enlarge aud deepen the excava-
ton of the former year. the soil was found to be
swarming with small poisonous ladders, called

Finding that the workmen handled them with i'm
punity, and even were bitten without any results,
Schliemann discovered that they had prepared
themselves by drinking freely Of a decoction Of
"snake-root,' which grows upon the plain. He

by using the same antdote. The discoveries made
during the first three weeks when a depth of 4o
feet was reached without finding the bottom Of the
ruins, were chiefly remarkable for their indications
of a much earlier civilization than is ascribed TO
Troy. The figure of the owl-headed Minerva. on
vases and other ornaments, became frequent that
Schlemann saw therein a certain syInbol OF the
Trojan goddess He insisted that the thea g'dak0pis

goddess Athene with the OWLS face and drew a
new faith in his theory from this interpretation

inal Aryan race which he discovered, will mention
them after finishing the history Of the exploration

Evils of High Heels.

Heels upon boots, shoes and other
foot gear have been in use about three
hundred years. In these three centu-
ries the height Of them has varied from
single ply to nearly three inches, pen
dulating as it were from one extreme to
the other. at irregular periods of time.
High heels are open to general objec-
tions, and perhaps all heels are open to
some. In addition to the ordinary i'll
effects of medium to high heels, .espe-
cially when too short-a tiptoe gait,
TANNED toes, soft and hard corns, bun
ions, ingrowing nails and fiat footedness
there is one mischief not usually
taken into account. That is, loss of
calf. A comparison of ancient and me-
d1eval art will show this. The loss is
both in volume and elasticity of gait
The cause is in fact that a high heel re-
lieves the calf of its full tension, and
thereby deprives it of it's due exercise,
upon which muscular as we'll as other
development depends. In women the
effect is more marked than in men, but
not so general, the use Of high heels be-
ing less steady and less extensive among
the gentler sex than among the sterner ;
but, wherever high heels have long pre-
vailed, whatever be the circles of So
ciety, the slender calf registers the eff
feet, and the pad follows the high heel
as an effect does cause.

A Chinese Dentist.

In priority Of time the Chinese are
ahead of us in some of the arts OF clvih-
zation. but in most of the finer and
higher kinds of art, as surgery, ETC.,
their proficiency is little removed from
half-savage bungling. A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial describes
Chinese dentistry, and gives us an idea
of what the Shanghai-tooth carpenters
amount to as professionals The native
dentists are the merest charlatans, and
practice as magicians and cure-alls.
They insert artificial teeth of the sea-
horse, which are kept in place by cop
per-wire wrappings or fastenings to the
adjacent natural teeth, and charge about
three cents per tooth for the operation.
Teeth are extracted by a hocus -pocus
process which the dental impostor calls
coughing up" The method of ex-
traction is this The dentist applies
white powder represented to be the salt
extracted from the sweat of the horse.
DR.. Eastlake found this white powder
to be nothing more or less than arsenic,
which causes the gum to slough, when
the tooth is easily removed by the oper-
ator's fingers. But the Chinese method
of curing the toothache was what puz-
lied him most, ana longest defed de-
lection. The operations, it should have
been stated, are all performed in tenn
pie or in the space in front, under q
large umbrella, the idea being that re-
hgious ceremony is in some way con-
nected with them. Toothache is caused
by maggot which gets into the tooth
somehow or other while the patient is
asleep, or while he is laughing immod-
erately. It must be removed alive, or
the patient will go mad. He is, there
fore, placed on seat and his head
thrown back. The dentist inserts long
pair of forceps, and, after fumbling
around for few seconds, produces be-
tween the nippers a little wriggling
black maggot, the cause of the whole
trouble. DR.. Eastlake witnessed this
operation repeatedly, but it was only
after obtaining surreptitious possession
of the forceps that he discovered the
trick. He found that one arm of the
forceps only was OF iron; the other was
of bamboo, painted to resemble the.
other. III the hollow of the bamboo
were found a number of little black
maggots, probably obtained from de-
cayed vegetables or decomposing mat
ter. When necessary to do service, the
operator simply squeezed the bamboo
above, and the maggot was elected from
the small end Of the instrument to the
mouth, and then adroitly taken between
the nippers and held up triumphantly
before the gaze of the astonished and
grateful patient relieved. The opera
tions witnessed were dispatched with
astonishing rapidity, and the patients
hurried away, as that part of the per-
Torrance was essential to the success of
the operation.

Power Of Music.

The New York Tribune announces
the latest prooftha music hath charms
to soothe the savage beast" The proof
came from from Onondaga county, re-
gion of salt and Cardiff giants. An in
telligent young farmer endeavored to
try three-yoke team of steers. The
nigh steer in the middle yoke lay down
and refused to move. After lashing,
kicking and prodding the animal, the in
telligent young farmer bethought him
OF a lively SOURCE, the necessary cat. :"
Thomas was placed upon the shoulders
OF the refractory steer and pulled tail
wards by the tail. His claws made
deep burrows down the back of the re-
luctant steer, but without locomotive
effect. A second trial was made, but
with no better results. At the third,
Thomas, who had borne the strain upon
his tail long enough, rendered strain
of his own, which curdles the midnight
blood and starts the householder for
the boot-iack. The music worked to a
charm. The reluctant steer arose as
though the caterwauling came from
Gabriel's trump, and tested the strength
of yoke and chain.

A Famous Medical Institution.

from the chicago Times.
"The name of DR.. r. V. Pierce has become
as familiar to the people all over the country
rs household words. His wonderful rene
dies, his pamphlets and books and his large
medical experience have brought him into
prominence and given him a solid reputation.
The Times, in the present ISSUE presents a

employed in the several departments, and q
corps of able and skilled physicians stand
ready to alleviate the sufferings of humanity

slclans are in frequent consultation with DR..
Pierce, and their combined experience is
brought to bear on the successful treatment
of obstinate cases. The doctor is man of
large medical experience, and his extensive
knowledge of materia medica has been &C
knowledged by presentations of degrees from
two of the first Medical Colleges in the land.
How meritorious his works are may be in
ferred from the fact that his pamphlets and
books have been translated into German.
Spanish, and other foreign languages, and
have been in heavy demand AS an evidence
OF the business OF the dispensary, it is only
necessary to state that for the quarter ending
March 81, 1874 the sum expended for postage

POPULAR F'ALLACY AND DECEPrIoNs. =
It is an infrmity of man to cling to the
teachings of past generation, and to
stubbornly resist the light of reform
and progress. Health reform and tenn
perance growth are jealousy watched
over by the poison bitters compounders.
One great prevailing deception of the
present age is the impression that every
human biped of either sex must be
stimulated. and the poisoned chalice is
labeled "Medicated Bitters," the bet
ter to palliate their use and prolong the
epidemic. One of the most jealous
workers to cure this malady, DIR.
JOSEPH WALKER, inventor and proprie-
tor of the famed CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITrERs, believes in making bitters
that are "true medicine" and advises
the sick man to swallow a draught that
will wash out the leprosy of his disease.
In this faith he is steadfast, and his
VINEGAR BIrTERs, though contradic-
ton to the general character of all
other bitters, are, as great success
and Life Ntoldze1, evidence of one
popular fallacy and corrected. 3

A French Tragedy.

Fashionable French society is APP
palled at a tragedy which occurred quite
recently. M. Valentin, who had been
the fashionable tailor of Paris and had
made fortune, retired with his wife to
Mandres to live Their son had won
unusual honors at the Cavalry School at
Saumur, and the day of tragedy had re-
turned home with a friend to receive
the parental congratulations. The do
mestic life of the Valentine was rem
dered miserable by the continual 'ieal-.
ously OF the lady, which, as it was with
out cause, was less endurable. On the
occasion of the return of young Valen-
tin, his father was witnessing a game
of billiards. between the lads, when
his wife called him upstairs. With
a joke about prompt obedience to
superior officers, M. Valentin left
the room. A few minutes after
wards six pistol shots were heard,
and on examination the young dragoon
found both his parents dead. It was
evident that another attack of jealousy
had seized Mad. Valentin, that her
husband had become enraged at the an
noyance on such joyous occasion, and
had shot his wife and himself to end it
forever. The ashes of letter were
found in the room, having probably
been burned by one of the parties be-
fore the quarrel commenced, as the
shots were fred in too rapid succession
to justify the belief that the husband
had destroyed it after killing his wife.
A mania for sympathy never wrought a
more dismal tragedy than this consti-
tutional jealousy.
