A Grave Strike.

What with hydrophobia and hot
weather, sun-stroke, suicide, and MUIR
der, the means of shutting of the NOR
tai coil are many and within the reach
of all But then, with all these advan-
tages comes a saddening circumstance
the sections are on a strike. The
other day a coed old deacon of Yer
mont village was gathered to his ia
theirs. The sexton was notified, and his
grave task was soon completed (; but he
demanded 50 for his work, This was
deemed exorbitant by the sorrowing
friends of the lamented deceased, and
they refused to pay it. Whereupon
the sexton locked up the cemetery tools
and went home. A new sexton was APP
pointed for the occasion, and he, with
intent to do his duty, faithfully broke
open the Toulouse and obtained pos
session of the implements. The day of
the funeral dawned, and while the sad
rites were being performed intelligence
came that the bier" was missing. A
search was instituted, but failed of its
object. In this dire dilemma, the de-
mands of sexton number one were &C
ceded to, and the funeral came to sat-
isfactory termination.

Presentation.

The amount of liquid matter which
passes through the microscopical tubes
of the skin in tweuty-four hours, in any
adult person of sound health, is about
sixteen fluid ounces, or one pint. One
ounce of the sixteen is solid matter,
made ZIP of organic and inorganic SUBJ
stances, which, If allowed to remain in
the system for a space of time would
cause death. The rest is water. Be-
sides the water and solid matter, large
amount of carbonic acid, a gaseous
body, passes through the tubes so We
cannot fail to understand that they are
active workers, and also we cannot fail
to see the Importance of keeping them
in perfect working order, removing OBJ
structions by frequent application of
water, or by some other means.
Suppose we obstruct the functions of
the skin perfectly by vanishing a per-
son completely with compound, i'm
pervious to moisture. How long will
he live? Not over six hours. The ex-
pertinent was once tried on child in
Florence. Leo, the Tenth, on the occa-
sion of his accession to the Papal chair,
wished to have living figure to repre-
sent the Golden Age, and so he gilded a
poor child all over with varnish and
gold leaf. The child died in a few
hours. If the fur of q rabbit or the
skin of pig be covered with a solution
of India-rubber in naphtha, the animal
ceases to breathe in two hours.

How to Quiet Horses.

According to discovery made by
Prof. Shift, of Florence-a discovery
which has been pushed beyond him by
many others-it was found that it was
quite enough to touch the nostrils of a
horse, simply passing the finger along
the sides of the nose,- to stop the
activity of the heart and respiration,
and stop consciousness In q measure.
He did not find, but left another to
find it, that interchanges between It's
sues and blood are also stopped. 1t is
well known now that most of those men
who succeed in quoting violent horses
put their fingers TO that part, and some
times inside the mares. Merely touch
ing these parts may produce some eff
feet 1t is not essential that the appli-
cation be made there, as pressure of
the lip may produce the same thing. In
some animals, rabbits and guinea pigs,
if we pass needles into their chest and
heart, so as to judge of respiration and
circulation, we find that the needles
stop altogether as we press the lips or
part of. the cheek. 1t is not that the
poor creature is frightened, as when we
have deprived them partly of their con-
seriousness, or almost altogether, by the
use of chloroform, tie same phenomena
occur. There is a very curious fact
mentioned by Catlin, who travelled In
the West and wrote two volumes on the
Indians He states that the calves of
the buffalo, if they are caught, and the
air from the lungs of man is strongly
breathed into their nostrils, will be-
come so fascinated by that peculiar in
fuence that they viii run after the
horse of the hunter, and follow him five
or six miles. It is said, and Mr.. Catlin
affirms it, that IN Texas, or IN other
parts of the country where there are
wild horses taken by the lasgo, if the
hunter succeeds in taking hold OF their
nostrils, and then forcibly expels air
from his lungs into the nostrils of the
horse, ne will follow him. anywhere
and. become perfectly tame These
facts deserve to be studied l have
heard that when Mr.. Rarey acted so
powerfully on very violent horses, both
in this country and in Europe, he had
something to do with their nostrils
also. What he did, however, he kept
in great measure secret. That part
of the system, at any rate, has a great
deal to do in diminishing the activity
of the principal organs. 1t Is very
natural, therei ore, that such a power
should be acquired by one who has done
such thing to an animal as intelligent
as the horse.

Sam Houston Reprimanded.

The solemn farce of reprimanding
man at the bar of the House as pun
ishment for breach of the privileges
of the body was performed in the case
of Sam Houston, Andrew Stevenson
being Speaker. Houston had been
charged by Stanberry, a member from
Ohio, with defrauding the Government
in some transactions with an Indian
tribe on the Tennessee border. An in
vestigation was requested, but Houston
could get no satisfaction, and not will
ing to rest under the imputation, he in
ficted severechastisement with cane
nthe precincts of the Capital. Houston
was arrested by the Sergeant alarms,
and there was long trial, resulting in
the resolution that the offender should
be reprimanded by the Speaker. 1t
was curious spectacle. Houston was
at that time striking specimen of man.
ly beauty. He was in the prime of life,
with more personal advantages than al
most any man of his time. He stood
considerably above six feet, and every
way finely proportioned. He was
dressed in faultless style when the Ser
geant-at-Arms led him up to the bar of
the House. He was perfectly sef-pos-
sessed, easy and graceful in manner,
without swagger or self-assertion, with
the bearing of man who came there to
pay his respects to the House, and es-
pecially to its presiding officer. The
galleries were crowded, and the men,
bers with the spectators looked Gu
riously on. Speaker Stevenson was
the only embarrassed person in the hall.
He was large fne-looklng man of
commanding presence but he was
fidgety and uncomfortable, looking as if
he expected Houston to read him lect-
ure. In a hesitating and perturbed
manner he told Houston that the House
had ordered him to be reprimanded by
its presiding officer, and he, the Speak
er, begged him to consider himself re-
primanded. Houston bowed in grace
full, dignified, and lordly way, broad
grin spread over the House, and there
the matter ended.

There are various kinds of dogs, but
the majority of them are more orna-
mental than useful. theoretically, dogs
are splendid let us see how they are
practically. The Newfoundland dog is
useful in saving children from drown
ing. But then you have got to have a
pond, or live by lake, and have lot
of children running about loose, liable
to fall in, or else the dog is Improbable.
Then there is the shepherds dog. He
is very useful for driving sheep, but you
have got to buy flock of sheep and a
farm to keep them on in order to keep a
dog of this kind busy. The poodle dog
is not very profitable or useful but to
pacify old maids and keep them busy
over something to tend. The rat-ter-
rier is considered very useful for killing
rats. but rats are not worth much after
they are killed, and so if you have that
kind of dog, and no rats, you had bet
ter sell him for the most you can get.

The Outfits of the Haremites.

A correspondent, writing of Turk
ish harem, says, " Each lady had three
rooms to herself, and the furnishing of
them was generally left to her taste or
caprice. They were arranged very
well, and the furniture was very hand
some. but curious in form. A regular
Turkish bed is something quite differ
ent from ours. There is no bedstead
or mattress, bit about thirty very
thickly padded quilts, covered with
silk or satin, laid one on top of the
other on the floor until they are about
two feet deep. The sheets are invaria-
bly, of silk, embroidered, and the cover
lid is marvel of gold and silver en-
broidery or satin or velvet. The pillows
are of pink, blue or yellow satin, COW
cred with beautiful lace. From the
ceiliug hangs q large jeweled and gilded
hoop, and from the rich lace curtains
which encircle the bed. To hold their
robes they have innumerable brass
nailed camphor-wood trunks, and as
one of these after another was turned
out for me to see the contents, 1 began
almost to lose my head in the confusion
of colors and beauty of materials.

Golden MaximS.

John McDonough, the New Orleans
millionaire, before his death provided
for engraving upon his tomb a series of
maxims which he had drawn up and
adopted for this guidance In life. They
were inscribed as follows:
RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MY LIFE,
1904.
Remember always that labor is one
of the conditions of our existence.
Time is gold throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account.
Do unto al. men as you would be
done by.
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to-day.
Never bid another do what you can dc
yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter so trifling as
not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does not
first come IN.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions OF your life.
Study, in the course of your life, to
do the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in an honor
able simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment of
your existence.
Pursue strictly the above rules, and
the Divine blessing and riches will flow
upon you to your hearts content but,
first of all, remember that the chief and
great duty OF your life should be to
tend, by all means in your power, to
Creator. Without temperance there is
no health without virtue, no order ;
without religion, no happiness and
that the aim of our being should be to
live wisely, soberly and nghteously.

What Causes Fever.

Prof. Buchanan, of England, claims
to have discovered one of the causes of
typhoid fever. A family in his neigh
borhood was attacked with a severe type
of the fever. Ona careful search of the
premises, a spout in the family pump
was found to be coated with sort of
gelatinous matter. Submitting this to
microscopic investigation, it was found
to be fungoid growth. from which
spores were constantly washed away by
the flowing water. He followed Up this
discovery by minute examination of
the outlet of the sewer through which
the drainage Of the town flowed, and
his scientific zeal was rewarded by find
ing fungoid growths OF similar nature
to those in the pump spout. In the vi
cinity of this outlet, the fever had also
prevailed. Having cases of fever in his
own family, he followed up his inquiry
by chemical analysis of water drank
by the family, and found IN it minute
spores of the same fungus. His con-
clusion is a natural one, that the fever
had its origin in the fungus matter
taken into the system, where it ferments
as yeast in beer, and poisons the blood.

Profits of British Banks.

The London correspondent, of the
New York Bulletin has been at consid-
cradle pains to compile the following
statement of the amount of capital in
vested in the joint,stock banks of Great
Britain, and also OF the profits of bank
ing in that country. The following
shows that four-fifths of the banks pay
ten per cent. or more per annum, in
dividends, that one-third pay fifteen per
cent. or over, and that one-ifth pay
twenty per cent. or over

How a Salary.f'rabber was Thanked.

Col. Orzo J. Dodds, late member of
Congress from the First District OF
Ohio, tells good story about call he
recently received at his office from a
man who claimed to be an editor from
Arkansas. He was very seedy-looklng
chap, and appeared as though he had
but recently come off from about a six
weeks spree. Bowling profoundly, then
striking AN attitude, with one hand on
his heart, and the other extending a
badly-used plug-hat, he exclaimed with
q dramatic air:
"Have l the honor of addressing the
Hon. Orzo J. Dodds?"
MY name is Dodds, but 1 am no
longer an Honorable, said the Colonel.
"Not an Honorable? Dodds not an

COBRA Poison AND YEAST. An analy-
sis of the deadly poison of the cobra
shows that it is composed of exactly the
same constituents as common beer
yeast. The latter is used in the manu-
facture of bread, but the former is SO
virulent in its nature that, even when
taken from the snake and preserved for
some time, and afterward injected I'M
