Wonderful Retention of Heat.

The following statement is from the
Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise :.
On the Both of October last, about two
o'clock in the afternoon, the large air.
shaft of the Belcher mine, then COM
pleted to the 1,000-foot level, took fire
and was destroyed. The timbers of the
shaft all burned out, and the rock fell
in and blocked it up. After deliberation
it was thought that it would be better
and cheaper to sink new shaft than to
try to clear out the old one. SO badly
were it's sides caved and SO great was
the quantity of rock that had tumbled
into it. The new shaft was sunk short
distance to the west of the old one. 1t
has now reached point to the 1000
foot level, where it will be continued
down on an incline. The incline was
started at the 1000 foot level, and car
ried up to meet the vertical portion of
the shaft. The course of this incline
carried it through the remains of the old
vertical shaft, but as soon as it was
tapped the men found they could do
nothing in it on account of the ashes,
burned errth, and rocks that poured
down into the incline. A tunnel was
then run until it had reached a
point short distance west of the old
shaft, when a vertical upraise was made
to the line of the proposed incline to be
run up to meet the new shaft. The men
then began working down on the incline
in order to meet the point from which
they were driven in trying to come up.
They have succeeded in getting into
the bottom of the old shaft, where, much
to their surprise, they find the rock still
red hot. In trying to put in timbers
they were set on fire, and in order to
work at all it is found necessary to bring
line of hose into the place and play
stream of water upon the rocks wedged
in the bottom of the old shaft. There is
no timber on fire among the rocks.
They seem to have been heated to de-
gree so intense at the the time of the fire
that they have remained red hot ever
since. Nearly three years after the great
fire in the Yellow Jacket mine places
We're found in the lower levels where the
the rock was still red hot.

Among the Pygmies.

From accounts it would appear that
Col. Longs present expedition into
Africa at the head of the Egyptian
troops relates to explorations among that
most interesting people whom Schwein-
furth has made known to the world-the
Nam Nam, or Pygmies of Equatorial
Africa. This singular tribe of men are
mentioned as far back in history as by
Ptolemy, and frequent illusions have
been made to them by various travellers
ever since. They are the smallest race
of men of good proportions known on
earth, and but few specimens have ever
been seen by scientific eyes. 1t will be
remembered that Schweinfurth attempt
ed to bring one of these creatures with
him down to Lower Egypt, but he
perished on his first contact with civiliza-
ton. Whether his skeleton was pre-
served for science we are not informed.
These little creatures seem as malignant
and wicked as they are abnormal in
size. They are reputed to be the most
irreclaimable cannibals in Central Africa.
and Schweinfurth's account of their
habits and those of neighboring tribes in
this respect, are the most disgusting
that have anywhere been given of any
branch of the human race. If the long
looked-ior " missing link" ever is to be
discovered between the savage and the
animal, anthropologists will certainly
look for it among this vicious and pygmy
raaa

A Terrible Joke.

There have been such number OF
cases in which the perpetration of sense
less and wretched jokes has led to very
lamentable results, that very strong
argument might be made therefrom in
favor of law against the dangerous ex-
ercise of this propensity. A young
girl, who had been attending revival
meetings, returned to her home in q
highly agitated state of mind occasioned
by what had been wrought upon her
feelings by the exciting scenes witnessed
at the "revival," which fact suggested
to some of her needless friends an op-
portunity for fun. Accordingly, one of
them dressed herself in flowing, white
robes, and with spreading muslin wings
fastened to her shoulders and her face
whitened, stole softly into the girls
room in the night. The girl awoke to
find what she did not doubt was an angel
standing by the side of the bed. She
screamed in terror, and the other girls
ran into the room, expecting to end the
exploit with laughter; but she had been
frightened literally out of her senses,
and had to be taken to an insane asylum.

I'm Cases of ApOplexy.

Apoplexy is becoming SO frequent that
the following hints by a well-known
physician for treatment in cases are not
out of place:
Hold patients head and body bolt up
Bind handkerchief, wide list or tape
tightly round each arm and leg, close to
the body to cut off return of blood to the
head. Place the feet in pail OF hot
water (kept hot by reflling) made strong
with cayenne pepper, and thoroughly
rub dry pepper on the legs, hands and
arms, which can be done by means of a
cloth or towel, to avoid escape of the ex-
citant into the air. Let the person who
supports the head, while steadying il
with one hand, dip the other in cold
water, both hands being kept thus con-
stantly wet, and in contact with the fore
head and whole brain (by no means
neglecting the animal or motive brain
behind), either as lying on the head or
moving about on it, and so the whole
head being kept wet and cold, though
prevented dripping on the body by some
sufficient protection round the neck, as q
large towel, not allowed to heat the
neck, yet stopping or catching the water;
but this cold water is not to be used ex
cept at first for time, when it is i'm
perative to make an impression, and
check the flow of blood from the rent
vessels in the brain, but at length is to
be exchanged for tepid and then warm
water, to kill the reaction, and, by con-
slant evaporation, leave the head perma-
nently cold. Let other persons take the
trunk in charge, vigorously and per-
sistently plying its whole surface With
their hands, the frictions, manipulations
and magnetism all having this one effect,
to draw the blood away from the brain,
as well as now doing something far more
mportant-revitalizin and restoring the
body. All these things should have
gone on together from the first moment
simultaneous prescribed handling of
extremities, trunk, head-presently to
be followed by inevitable return of con-
seriousness, for no surcharge of blood in
the brain could possibly hold out against
such enforced persuasion. Binding the
arms and legs alone would i'll time re-
lieve the brain, the limbs turning pur-
pie, and swelling almost to bursting from
having left the head actually destitute,
the pallor of the face now calling for
successive and gradual untying, first one
arm, next the other, then in the same
manner the legs, and last the feet, rub
bed quickly and perfectly dry (to fore
stall the cold of evaporation) and the
patient placed in bed to rest and re-
cover. Binding the limbs few mo-
ments before the stroke would have pre-
it, so would lying with the head in the
center of horizontal revolving disk,
whirling the blood to the feet, as this,
too, by the same mechanical compulsion,
would aid to cure. OF course, in the
absence of any pepper, the great main
effect would still have gone on.

About Eating at Night;

A legend of ancient times, handed
down from generation to generation,
through century upon century, still OBJ
tains in almost every household to the
effect that if one eats just before going
to bed one will surely see ones grand
mother. Now there seems to be some
thing terrible about the appearance of
this nocturnal grandmother but as the
writer never conversed with any one who
had been subjected tc one of her phan-
tonic visits we are disposed to be in
credulous, and tiout the legend in the
face of the bearer. However hungry
one may be at bedtime, the temptation
to satisfy the cravings of the appetite is
always met by this sold wives fable"
and it always serves to bar the pantry
door against an evening intrusion.
There's no telling how much suffering
has been broughtabout by this idea, and
now we believe the time has come when
hungry men, be it at bedtime or meal
time, ought to burst the legendary bonds
which have thus far bound them and
eat when they are hungry. To take a
hearty meal on retiring is, of course, very
injurious, because it is very likely to dis
turb ones rest and produce nightmare.
However, little food at this time, if
one is hungry, is decidedly beneficial; it
prevents the gnawing of an empty
stomach, with its attendent restlessness
and unpleasant dreams, to say nothing
of the probable headache, or of nervous
and other arrangements, the next morn
ing. One should no more lie down at
night hungry than he should lie down
after full dinner, the consequence of
either being disturbing and harmful. A
cracker or two, bit of bread and butter,
cake, little ut-something to relieve
the sense of vacuity, and SO restore the
tone of the system-is all that is neces-
ary. We have known persons, habitual
sufferers from restlessness at night, to
experience material benefit, even though
they were not hungry, by very light
luncheon before bedtime. In place of
tossing about for two or three hours as
formerly, they would soon grow drowsy,
fall asleep, and not wake more than once
or twice until sunrise. This mode of
treating insomnia or sleeplessness has
recently been recommended by several
distinguished physicians, and the pre-
scription has generally been attended
with happy results.

Domestic Barbering.

You can always tell boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because the
edges of the hair look as if they had
been chewed off by an absent minded
horse, but you tellit by the way he stops
on the street and wiggles his shoulders.
When q fond mother has to cut her boys
hair, she is careful to avoid any annoy
auce and muss by laying sheet on the
carpet 1t has never yet occurred to her
to set him on bare floor and put the
sheet around his neck. Then she draws
the front hair over his eyes and leaves
it there while she cuts that which is at
the back.
The hair which lies over his eyes ap-
pears to be on fire. She has uncon-
sciously continued to push his head for
ward until his nose presses his breast,
and is too busily engaged to notice the
snuffiing sound that is becoming alarm
ingly frequent. In the meantime he is
seized with an irresistible desire to blow
his nose, but recollects that his hand
kerchief is in the other room. There is
a fly lights on his nose, and does it SO
unexpectedly that he involuntarily
lodges, and catches the points of the
shears in his left ear. At this he COM
mences to cry and wish he was man.
But his mother doesn't notice him.
She merely hits him on the other ear to
inspire him with confidence. When she
is through, she holds his jacket collar
back from his neck, and with her mouth
blows the short bits from the top of his
head down his back. He calls her atten-
ton to this fact, but she looks for new
place on his head and hits him there,
and asks him why he didn't use his
handkerchief. Then he takes his awfully
disfgured head to the mirror and looks
at it, and, young as he is, shudders as
he thinks of what the boys on the street
will sav

A New Goddess.

The Shanghai Gazette, alluding to the
death of the late emperor of China, con-
veys the information that shortly before
the emperor's death gigantic image, the
goddess of smallpox, was paraded round
the city of Pekin in solemn procession,
and then taken into the very bedroom of
the dying youth, where it was worshiped
and honored with many propitiatory
offerings. AS, however, the goddess
continued obdurate, she was subjected
to severe thrashing and other insults,
and finally burned. The fatal result of
the attack was, we suppose, her revenge
for the maltreatment.
