Hurrah for Stanley.

An English paper says "Mr. Stan
ley's first letter from Africa shows that
he has, at the outset Of his journey, &C
complished q great work, the moral and
material Importance of which can hardly
be exaggerated. In thirty days he ex-
plored the Rufgi river, which Dlr. Kirk
reported to be navigable. Mr.. Stanley,
as the result of his spirited voyage in the
Yarmouth yawl, the Wave, informs US
that the river carries good navigable
channel fifty miles inland, and he be-
heves that for nearly half that distance
the largest Mississippi steamboat of five
thousand tons might safely float. Mr..
Stanley,b his initial bit Of work, puts the
British Consul at Zanzibar to shame,
and justifies the belief that he is not I'M
worthy to continue the work which was
begun by Livingstone.

An Indian Story.

The Sioux City Journal has the fol-
lowing somewhat extraordinary account
of the surroundings GA the occasion Of a
late addition to the census
We learn from a reliable gentleman Of
this city, who is just back from trip up
the river, the particulars Of another ex-
traordinary case of experiences in the last
awful blizzard. An Indian and his
squaw were caught out in the storm
while journeying from Fort Randall to
Fort Thompson agency, and becoming
bewildered took refuge in a ravine They
wrapped their blankets about them and
sat down under the bank. The snow
soon covered them, but the Indian kept
a hole through the rapidly forming drift
with his gun, which he would poke up
occasionally. They remained there all
night, and the drift became so high in
the meantime that he was oliged to splice
the ramrod to the end of his rifle in
order to reach the top Of it and keep up
the ventilation. During their cheerless
imprisonment the squaw was delivered
of child and it was christened "Snow
Drift. " This paragraph viii no doubt
seem a little fishy to persons unacquaint-
ed with wild Indian life, but to persons
who have been among the reds it viii not
by any means appear improbable.

Fire-PrOOf Clothing for Women.

During the past year, the usual list of
accidents arising from skirts taking fire
has been given in the newspapers. La
dies passing or sitting near an open fire
of coal or wood; children left to their
own devices before the nursery CRATE,
and actresses swinging their trains too
near the foot-lghts, have all contributed
their sad stories of death or disfg1re-
ment. Moved by the reiterated reports
of such casualties, Queen Victoria, some
years ago, requested Prof. Graham, q
chemist of high standing. to institute ex-
periments with view to finding some
method of rendering cotton fabrics fire.

might be communicated to other fabrics.
cotton alone flashed into flame upon the
slightest provocation. The investiga-

distinguished German experts, re-

the desired purpose, and not at all in

shed muslin that were dried rapidly in
a machine known as "hydra-extractor. "
The fabrics thus treated proved wholly
uninfammable, while their colors were
undiminished, save where madden had
been employed as dye, and even that
tint was only modified slightly, and rem

The Society Bow.

Another kink is in the kind Of bow,

it is "foreign." You are not to bend

the eye, smile your sweetest, and gently
incline your head to the left shoulder

A Young WOman's Presence of Mind,

Thursday afternoon, as Miss Matte
Briley, daughter of Mrs. William Briley,
of Battle Greek, was out riding on the
Marshall road with lady friend, she met
farmer who was coming into town with
load of wood, and who had got stuck
on the Michigan Central Railroad cross
ing in front of the Roberts farm. The
farmer was in critical situation, as the
day express from the east was then due,
and the rumbling of the train was already
heard in the distance. He urged his
horses to the utmost, but they failed to
even start the load. Every minute was
growing more perilous. Miss Briley,
seeing that something must be done,
gave the reins to her friend and jumped
out of her cutter. She was wearing a
red cloak over her shoulders, and taking

road track and waved it in front Of the

A Fatal EXnerjment.

The power of the imagination is truly
remarkable-indeed, almost beyond be-
lief and many people are great slaves
to It's wh1ms and caprices. One-half the
Ills that flesh is heir to are superinduced
by the fancy of the sufferers, as hundreds
are known to have died by mere symp-
toms OF cholera, yellow fever, and the
plague, induced by dread alone of these
terrible maladies. People of strong
nervous temperaments are often great
slaves to the tyranny of mind over mat
ter. Young medical students are very
fond OF illustrating this fact by practical
jokes upon unsuspecting people.
We very well remember O. case in point
which occurred in this city not long ago,
but which we do not remember to have
seen IN print. 1t was that of an amateur
butcher engaged in slaughter-house,
and who, III placing his meat upon q
hook, slipped in the blood upon the
floor, and hung himself instead of the
meat upon the barbed point. His
screams were deafening, and when he
was. released from his frightful situation
his agony was intense. He was quickly
carried in the arms of three men to the
nearest physicians Office, and so great
was his pain lin imagination) that he
cried piteously upon every motion made
by the doctor In cutting the coat and
shlrt-sleeve from about the wounded
arm. When at last the arm was barred
not scratch was there. The hook-point
had merely grazed the skin and torn the
shirt-sleeve. *sst~
These thoughts were suggested to us
by an experiment just tried at st. Peters
burg, Russia. A criminal condemned to
death was handed over to the surgeons
OF the hospital for the purpose Of a GER
tain experiment. He was taken to the
dissecting room and laid upon marble
slab, his hands, feet and body were Sc
curely tied to the table upon which he
lay. He was then told, after being care
fully blindfolded, that he was to be bled
to death. A pail was brought, the sur
geon snapped his lancet upon the main
artery Of the arm, while an attendant
stood by pouring small stream of blood
warm water upon the arm, which ran of
into the pail The poor criminal heard
the steady stream flowing into the pail
and soon grew weak and faint, the1
swooned, and in exactly twelve minutes
was dead
Here was an unmistakable evidence o.
the power Of the imagination, i1lustrat
ing in remarkable manner the refec
lions mentioned above, for in this in
stance not one drop of blood had beer
taken from the body of the criminal
His fancy had proved as fatal to him a
though he had actually bled to death. :

Facts TO BE Remembered.

One thousand shingles laid four inches
to the weather will cover 100 square feet
of surface, and five pounds of shingle-
nails will fasten them on. One-fifth
more siding and flooring is needed than
the number of square feet of surface to
be covered, because of the lap in the sid
ing and the matching Of the floor.
One thousand lath will cover
seventy yards Of surface, and eleven
pounds Of lath-nails will nail
them on. Eight bushels of good lime,
sixteen bushels of sand, and one brshel
Of hair will make enough good mortar to
plaster 100 square yards. A cord of
stone, three bushels Of lime, and a cubic
yard of sand will lay 100 cubic feet Of
wall. Five courses of brick will lay one
foot in height on chimney, six bricks in
a course will make due four inches wide
and twelve inches long, and eight bricks in
acourse will make a fue eight inches wide
and sixteen inches long.
