WEDDINGS IN BORNEo.

On the wedding day the bride and BRIDE
groom are brought from opposite ends of
the village to the spot where the ceremony
is to be performed. They are made to sit
on two bars of iron, that blessings as last
ing, and health as vigorous may attend the
pair. A cigar and betal leaf, prepared with
the areca nut, are next put into the hands
of the bride and bridegroom. One of the
priests then waves two fowls over the heads
of the couple, and in long address to the
Supreme Being, calls down blessings upon
the pair, and implorcs that peace and happi.
ness may attend the union. After the heads
of the afianced have been knocked against
each other three or four times, the bride.
groom puts the prepared siri leaf and cigar
into the mouth of the bride, while she does
the same to him, whom she thus acknowl.
edges as her husband.

SCIENTIFIC.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN HAY-There
ore doubtless many farmers who have ex-
perienced sudden and destructive con6agra-
tions in their hay lofts, which could not be
ascribed to any exterior agency. Barns
have been known TO burst into flame, almost
without warning, save perhaps a significant
odor, for a few days previously, around the
places where the hay was stored, and a sum
mers' harvest is swept away in as manymin-
utes rs it has taken days to gather it. These
unexpected conaagrations are generally ac-
credited to tramps who have made the hay
loft their sleeping resort, but it is now as
serted that such calamities are frequently
due to the spontaneous combustion of the
hay, circumstance theoretically quite pos
sible, but rarely considered Able Moiguo,
in Les MoHdes, gives the following as the
theory of the phenomenon Hay, when piled
damp, and in too large masses, fermcnts and
turns dark. In decomposing, sufficient heat
is developed to be insupportable when the
hand is thrust into the mass, and vapors be-
gin to be emitted. When the water is al
most entirely evaporated, the decomposition
continues, and the hay becomes carbonized
little By little and then the charred portion,
like peat, peat cinders mixed with charcoal,
sulphurous pyritcs and Ignite, etc, becomes
a kind of pyrophorus, by virtue of its great
porosity and the large quantity of matter ez-
posed to high oxidation. Under the inau-
ence of air in large amount, this charcoal be-
comes concentrated on the surface to such a
degree that the mass reaches a temperature
which resultsin its bursting into flames.
The preventives for this danger are care
that the hay in the lofts is kept perfectly
dry; that it is well packed, and that it is
stored in small heaps rather than in large
masses.

OF A BROKEN HEART.


A young English woman, only twenty-five
years Of age, named Mary Harris, died on
The platform of railway station near Lon
don, literally from broken heart. In June,
1873, her husband ran away from her, and
since that time had not given anything to-
ward her support or that of his two chill
dren. After long search for him she found
ont last August that he was working in
Sheffield, where he was earning good wages.
She made up her mind to go to him, but be-
ing without the money to pay the fares Of
herself and children, went down to Kent
with the hope Of earning enough money as
hop picker.
She remained their three weeks and con-
trived to save eighteen shillings, and started
for London. She hud been ill for several
days previously, and said her heart was ach-
ing and breaking. Upon reaching the
Bricklayeys' Arms station she rose from her
seat and attempted to get out of the carriage,
but fell forward into the arms of her mother,
who was with her, saying .st
Mother, dear, lead me somewhere. |
want to lie down. Bring Sarah and Joe to
me am dying" 4
She was placed upon the platform, but
died in the course of minute or two, be-
fore anything could be done for her.

A SPIDER IN THE STOMACH.

A short time sincea young lady, a resident
of Brookville, Pa. experienced creeping
sensation in her nose after she had retired
in the night, and all efforts to remove the
annoyance were without the desired effect, the
difficulty remaining for several days, mere
ly changing to location further up in the
nostril. AT length it seemed to pass down
into the throat, causing choking sensation.
Immediately after its disappearance the
victim experienced acute pains in the
stomach, and called medical assistance in
vain, the only thing that gave her any re-
lief being copious doses of brandy, which
failed to produce any of the usual effects.
Finally severe vomiting ensued, and after one
whole nights suffering, and the patient Civ
ing up hopes of life, the cause of the trouble
was removed, and an examination found it
to be a small particle of blood and matter,
in the center of which was a common-sized
black spider, Evidently the brandy saved
the young lady's life.

THE DREAD CArAooMBs.

Rome and the adjacent Campagna lies up
on stratum Of soft, porous, volcanic rock
called hlfa. 1t is in this that the catacombs
the Christian cemeteries of the first four
oenturies-are ezcayated. They consist of gal
leries, from five to eight or ten feet high, and
from two to FIVE feet wide, hewn in the rock
and connected with cross galleries, forming an
intricate network of subterranean passages.
Opening into these are many small chambers
called cdJiedla, square or circular in form.
with dome-shaped roof. Numerous shafts
pierce the superintendent soil, giving yen
tilation, and admitting light The whole
number Of the catacombs now known is
something over forty. A few communicate
with each other, but they are mostly sepa-
rate, like adjacent cemeteries in the open
air The entire extent of the galleries is es-
timated to benot less than six hundred miles.

Perhaps the ensuing anecdote may teach
some people the folly Of superstition A
negro killed a white man, in Texas. The
negro was very much alarmed, knowing that
should he be caught he would be hanged to
the nearest tree convenient for the purpose,
there being no hope for a fair trial in that
section. A friend of his hearing of his stu
alton went to see him in his hiding-place,
and promised for consideration (of money
Of course) to give him a powder, which he
should take when he was captured, that
would prevent his being hanged or shot.
The poor man believing it to be a charm,
readily paid the sum demanded and received
the powder, which he was to swallow when
there was no other hope. The next day the
man was discovered in his hiding-pace by a
crowd Of white men. who were determined
to carry out the decision Of Judge Lynch,
and were about to hang him to tree which
they had already selected. The prisoner,
with great reluctance, yet having faith in
the power of his powder, was taken to the
tree, and when all the arrangements were
made he took the powder from his pocket
and swallowed its contents. The effect was
quickly seen, as he fell dead Immediately.

OLD AND ALONE.

Says the Cuthbert (Ga) Appeal: son
Tuesday last, an aged gentleman passed
through our town en- route for Americus, to
visit relatives in our place, having footed it
all the way from Louisiana. The tale of
sorrow, as narrated by this aged father, of
the horrors of the overflow of portions Of
louisiana were indeed narrowing and reused
"a sympathetic response in every human
breast. He said that his house, containing
his wife and three daughters, was swept
away in the floods, and he lett alone in a
land Of mourning and wretoheduess. He
was absent from his home when the angry
waters swept over the leyees, and after great
exertion reached the place where his hopes
and affections had clustered, but alas to
find that his hopes were blighted and all
dear to his own heart in this world had
found Watery grave"

A SIMPLE PLAN OF VENTILATIov.-The
following simple method for yentilating
ordinary sleeping and dwelling rooms is
recommended by Mr.. Hinton in his ''Physi-
ology for practical USE" A piece of wood
three inches high and exactly as long as the
breadth of the window, is to be prepared
Let the sash be now raised, the slip of
wood placed on the sill, and the sash drawn
closely upon it. If the slip has been well
fitted, there will be no draft in consequence
of this displacement of the sash at its lower
part but the top Of the lower sash will
overlap the bottom of the upper one, and
between the two bars perpendicular current:
of air, not felt as draft, will enter and leave
the room.

EIECTR1C1rY ToR roorHAoHE.

A Paris journal states that DR.. Bouchard,
of that city, finds the use of electricity very
efficient in cases Of severe toothache, a per-
feet cure, even where the teeth are greatly
decayed, being not unfrequently obtained,
and temporary relief almost invariably en-
suing. In numerous instances, where allie
Walton at first was of short duration, the
effect became more and more marked and
lasted longer as the treatment was repeated
The method pursued by DIR. Buchard in ap-
plying the electricity is to place the positive
pole of the current on the cheek opposite
the diseased tooth and the negative upon the
anterolateral portion of the neck, and to
avoid alterations the electrodes are made very
large, and their place frequently changed
The application is continued for about halt
an hour, although relief is frequently ez
perienced in ten to fifteen minutes.

A curious incident recently occurred on
a Western railroad train. As the cars
were moving away from the Terre Haute
depot, a pretty young woman came
from the ladies car, and rushing into the
smoking car, frantically appealed to every
body to stop the train. Catching sight of
the conductor, she exclaimed, piteously,-
"Mr. Conductor, do please stop the train!
I've left my baby ~
The train was stopped, and baby recov-
cred, amid the hearty cheers of the people
on the platform and the passengers, and
while the young mother laughed and cried,
and hugged her little one, she tried to ex-
plain how the baby was such new one that
she hadn't got used to it yet.

A New WHITE ALLoY.-This metal, re-
Gently invented by NJ. Delalot, is said to be
very cheap, and to possess qualities render
ing it suitable to replace the various white
alloys now in use, The proportions are pure
red copper 80 parts, oxide of manganese 2
parts, zinc l9 parts, and phosphate of lime
part. The copper is first melted and the
manganese added little by little. When the
latter is dissolved, the phosphate is similarly
mingled. The scoria is removed and finally
the zinc is added about ten minutes before
casting. To accelerate the fusion of the
manganese, l-2 part fluoride of calcium, l-2
part borax, and part wood charcoal may
be used as hux.

GROWTH oF TREES.

MCci intCr st a beenr .viyed in regard to
the question whether the trunks Of trees
elongate after being once formed. Careful
science has long since decided, by evidence
that satisfies every one familiar with the
experiments, that there is no such elonga-
ton. The fact, however, that at times
branches will rise several inches, or even a
foot or two, in a number Of years is so GEN
orally believed by people-all of whom
could scarcely err-has led to reinvestga-
ton.
1t is now found that tree trunks may be
elevated, though not stretched. Trees or
rocks, by the additions of woody matter to
main roots, will be Lifted by just so much
growth as takes place on the under surface
and DD. Lapham, of Milwaukee, shows that
in many cases trees are gradually raised by
frost, 50 that in time they may be as much
as foot higher than they were when the
first tiers Of branches were formed
This is an excellent illustration of how the
people may often be right in regard to pop
ular observation and yet science not be nee.
essarily wrong. In this case both "science'
and the ''people" had to learn from each
other.

EARLY INFLUENCES.

There can be no greater blessing than tC
be born in the light and air of a cheerful,
loving home. 1t not only insures a happy
childhood-if there is health and a good
constitution-but it almost makes sure q
yirtuous and happy manhood, and fresh
young heart in old age. We think it every
parents duty to try to make their children's
childhood full of love and of childhood's
proper joyousness and we never see chill
dren destitute OF them through the poverty
faulty tempers, or wrong notions of theil
parents, without heartache Not that al
the appliances which wealth can buy art
necessary to the free and happy unfolding of
childhood in body, mind, or heart-quitt
otherwise, God be thanked; but children
must at least have love inside the house, anC
fresh air and good play, and some gooG
companionship, outside-otherwise young
life runs the greatest danger in the world of
withering or growing stunted, or sour and
wrong, or at least prematurely old and turned
inward.

EFFECT OF AMMONIA FUMES on FLOWERS.
Professor Gabba has been examining the
effects of ammonia on the color of flowers.
1t is well known that the smoke of tobacco
will, when applied in sufficient quantity,
change the tint of flowers; but Professor
Cable experiments by pouring q little am
monia liquor into saucer and inverting a
funnel over it. Placing the flowers in the
tube of the latter, he finds that blue, violet,
and purple colored blossoms become of a fine
green carmine and crimson become black
white, yellow; while parti-colored flowers
such as red and white are changed to green
and yellow. Ifthe flowers are immersed in
water, the natural color will return in few
hours. Professor Gabba also found that
asters acquire pleasing odor when submit
ted to the fumes of ammonia. Try it.

I'd INSULTS.

It's always better to pass a dozen intended
insults without recognition, than to take Of
fence at single unintentional neglect or re
Election. Misunderstanding are fruitful of
more unkindly feelings in society than ever
result from deliberate ill-natuFe. Hundreds
Of friendships have been sundered by that
egotistical sensitiveness which is ever look
ing for offence. We can all point to certain
persons who are, thus morbdly sensitive to
a painful degree. They are disagreeable
companions We need not spend our
precious time in pointing to them however.
We have each something to guard in our
own character. We are each inclined to
take offence too easily. If we could remove
this eyer, jealous Watchfulness, society would
gain new charm, or rather itwould be re-
lieyed of very disagreeable feature, Pass
neglect, then, and personal reflections, as
gracefully as possible, instead of taking the
risk of being offended when no offence is in
tended.
