Danger From Malaria.

!. The extraordinary continuance of wet
Weather in most parts of the country, COM
ing at a season when the weather is warm
Fsf aIFi the decomposition or animal ana
vegetable matter is most rapid, suggests a
danger to public health against which
people should everywhere take all possible
precautions. There can be no doubt that
malarial fevers will be unusually preva-
lent this fall, as a result of our midsum-
mer heat and moisture. Possibly this
may suggest to some liberal dosing with
quinine and other drugs to fortify the sys-
TEN against such attacks, but it is not
everybody who believes in that method of
procedure. Chlorine and other dIsinfect-
ants should be freely used about the house,
and cup of coffee every morning has a
good effect Much of the danger arises
from damp air at night, laden with mala-
rial poisons, which the bright sunshine
during the day does much to dispel. 1t
is good plan to have brisk fire for a
few moments in or near sleeping room
Just at nightfall. This will dry the at
mosphere, and its poisonous malaria will
pass through the chimney. Especial care
should be taken at this season about the
regularity of meals, and that the vege-
tables used are fresh and of good quality.
This alone will do much to preserve
health, as people whose stomachs are in
good tone can withstand attacks of most

"A method of coating iron with copper

"A method of coating iron with copper
so as to protect the former from the action
of sea water and the like is described in
the Deutsche IHust. ZeituRg, The iron, it APP
pears, is first cleaned and rendered per
fectly bright by means of acid and then
immersed in bath of melted copper,
which is maintained at a very high tenn
perature, so that It not only covers the
iron but becomes incorporated with it,
Iron coppered in this way can, it is said,
be hammered and rolled without the cop
per tearing or peeling off, and specimens
left in contact with sea water for a period
of nine months have been found unat
tackled and capable of being hammered
and rolled out like new metal. Iron
plates covered with copper in this way
are claimed to possess two important adj.
vantages over pure copper plates, namely;
they cost less and are harder and stronger.
There is also great advantage in using
coppered iron wire for telegraph lines in-
stead of galvanized iron.

HONOR no OUR WORRNEN


WHOM shall we call our heroes?

The pampered child of fortune,
The titled lord or king?

Take all and nothing give;
The nOblest type of manhood
Are those who work to live.

And monarchs of the soil.

And rears the palace domeY
Who creates for the rich man

All honor to him then;
The true wealth of the nation
Is in her working men.
For many barren ages
Earth hid her treasure deep,
And all her giant forces
Seemed bound as in a sleep;
Then Labor's "anvil chorusn
Broke ON the startled air,
And loi the earth in rapture
Laid all her fiches bare.
'Tis toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control,
And purifies and hallows
The temple Of his soul.
1t scatters foul diseases,
With all the ghastly trains;
Put iron in the muscle
And crystal in the brain.
The Grand, Almighty Builder,
Who fashioned out the earth,
Hath stamped His seal of honor
On Labor from her birth.

A Dogs Funeral.


THE Bardstown (Ky.) Record is credited
with the following remarkable story: "A
curious incident of the sagacity and imi-
tative habits of dogs came TO our knowl-
edge day OF two ago. We warn our
readers TO be prepared for an almost in
credible story, but it can be suestantiated
by affidavit from several persons of the
highest standing, members Of the family
in which it occurred, some of whom are
ladies. Previous to the war Gov. Charles
A. Wicklitfe was an extensive slave-own-
er, and each one of his negroes owned
one or more dogs. In 1869 one of these
dogs, a spaniel, manifested symptoms of
hydrOphobia, and was shot by Judge
Wicklifie, the Governors son. Immedi-
ately after the shooting all the dogs
on the place collected around the body
of their dead companion, and, after
prolonged bowling, prepared for tuner
al '0ld Bull the largest and fiercest
dog, took the body in his mouth and
l6A.xied for the woods south OF the Govern
oFs residence, The other dogs formed
into a regular procession, and in single
file followed the body TO the woods, They
selected a tree Just outside of the fence
and at the foot of il dug grave, in which
'0ld Bull deposited the body, and all th'
dogs joined in covering with earth the re
mains, Alter the grave had been filled al
united in more bowling. which was KEEP
up some ten or fifteen minutes, when they
dispersed"

How Andrew Johnson Learned to
Read.

A sketch of the late ex-President John
son in the Memphis appeal gives us the
following account of his early life:
He never attended school day in his
life. While Learning his trade, however,
he resolved TO make an effort to educate
himself. His anxiety to be able to read
was particularly exhibited by an incident
worthy of mention. A gentleman Of
Raleigh was in the habit Of going into the
tailor shop and reading while the appren-
tice and journeymen were at work. He
was an excellent reader, and his favorite
book was volume of speeches, principal
ly of British statesmen. johnson became
interested, and his first ambition was 20
equal him as a reader and become famil-
lar with those speeches. He took up the
alphabet without an instructor; but by
! applying 10 the jour neyman with whom
he worked he obtained a little assistance.
Having acquired knowledge of the let
tiers he applied for loan ofthe book which
he had so often heard read. The owner
made him present OF it, and gave him
some Instructions on the use ofletters in the
formation of words. Thus his first exercises
in spelling were in that book. BY perseveI~
ance he soon learned to read, and the
| hours which he devoted TO his education
were at night after he was through his
daily labor upon the shop board. He now
applied himself to books from two to
three hours of the night, after working
from ten TO twelve hours at his trade.

The union of Europe and Africa, by
means of a tunnel under the Straits of
Gibraltar, is one of the great engineering
schemes at present contemplated. This
tunnel, as projected, is to be a right line,
extending between Tarifa and Algesiras,
on the Spanish coast, TO Ceuta and Tangier,
on the Morocco shore, the submarine por-
ton to be A, 1850 feet in length, or nearly
nine miles, This vast enterprise offers, il
is said, more difficulties than the similar
work under the English Channel, although
the latter will have more than twice the
length. The maximum depth of the chan
mel at the point to be traversed is stated to
be only 1853 feet, while that of the Straits
is 1921 feet. Supposing the tunnel un-
der Gibraltar to be bored at a distance
of 1000 feet under the bed, its total depth
under the sea level would be over 5000,
while the entry and exit galleries would
be each three miles in length.
