Effect Of Tea on the Skin.

If you drop a few drops OF strong
tea upon q piece of iron, O knife blade,
for instance, the tannate Of iron is
formed, which is black. If you mix with
iron filings or pulverized iron, you can
make a fair article of ink. If you mix
it with fresh human blood it forms with
the iron Of the blood the tannate of
iron. Take human skin and let it soak
for o time in strong tea, and it will be-
come leather. Now, when we remember
that the liquids which enter the stomach
are rapidly absorbed by the veins and
absorbents of the stomach, and enter
into the circulation aud are thrown out
in the system by the skin, respiration
and kidneys, it is probable that a drink
80 common as tea, and so abundantly
used, will have some effect. Gan it be
possible that tannin, introduced with
20 much liquid producing perspiration,
will have no effect upon the skina Look
at the tea drinkers of Russia, the Chi.
nese, and the old women OF America,
who have so long continued the habit of
drinking strong tea. Are they not dark
colored and leather skinned When
young they were fair comple1ioned.

When Men are at their Best.

DR.. Beard states that from an analysis
of the lives of a thousand representative
men in all the great branches of the
human family, he made the discovery
that the golden decade was between
forty and fifty; the brazen between
twenty and thirty; the iron between fifty
and sixty. The superiority OF youth
and middle life wei old age in original
work appears all the greater when we
consider the fact that all the positions of
honor and prestige-professorships and
public stations-are in the hands of the
old. Reputation, like money and posi-
ton, is mainly confined to the old. Men
are not widely known until long after
they have done the work that gave them
their fame. Portraits of great men are
delusions !; statues are lies They are
taken when men have become famous,
which, on the average, is at leasttwenty-
five years after they did the work which
gave them their fame. Original work
requires enthusiasm. If all the original
work done by men under forty-fve was
annihilated, they would be reduced to
barbarism. Men are at their best at
that time when enthusiasm and expert
ence are almost evenly balanced. This
period, on the average, is from thirty
eight to forty. After this the law is
that experience increases, but enthusi-
asm decreases.

They Are Giants.

There Is now on exhibition perhaps
the most remarkable couple in the
world-a man and woman who are
giants in stature. They are Mr.. and
Mrs. M. Y. Bates, whose home is now
in Seville, Medina county, Ohio. They
are each seven feet eleven and one hat
inches in height, the husband weighing
478 pounds, while the wife weighs 413
pounds. The common sized visitor,
when placed between them, feels very
much as Gulliver must have felt when
he fell among the giants.
Mr., or Capt. Bates, as he is called, is
a finely proportional man, Of rudy,
healthy looking complexion, straight
and military looking in his regimentals.
His immense stature is not so notice
able as that OF his wife, who seems al
most awkward somehow on account OF
her length, she being actually taller for
a woman than he is for a man. They
are evidently people who, if not so won
derfully tall, would be considered COM
monplace.
They are intelligent, however, and
the lady especially feels the awkwardness
of her position as the object Of the
curiosity and open mouthed wonder Of
the multitude. In an interesting con-
v~ersation with our reporter, she showed
openly her dislike Of the life she is lead
ing, and her longing to return to her
home in Ohio. Their home, by the
way, was one built and furnished
especially for them. The ceilings are
twelve and one-half feet high, and no
doorway is less than eight and one-half
feet high. OF course they find the hotel
accommodations unsuitable to them
wherever they 60. as the doorways are
80 low and the beds so short.
One Of the strangest facts about their
history is that they were the children Of
common people. Mrs. Bates father
was only five feet four inches in height,
while her mother was Only a common
sized woman. Her brothers and sisters
are OF no remarkable height. Capt.
Bates father was six feet two inches in
heights tall man, but a dwarf, COM
pared with his son. Bates is now
twenty,nine years Of age. BE is a ma
tive Of Letcher county, Kentucky. His
wife is a Nova Scotian, twenty.seven
years Of age. They were married in
London, England, while travelling in
that country on exhibition.

An Opium Eater Reformed.

MI. Peter Banta, a ship joiner, fifty
one years of age, living III Brooklyn, N.
Y, received a compound fracture of the
leg July Sd, 1860. The leg is an inch
and a quarter short. The day Of the
injury he took n ounce of elixir of
opium to stop the intense pain. He
gradually increased the dose till he took
three ounces a day. After the leg was
well he continued it for about three
years and a half, when he commenced
taking sulphate Of morphine, twenty
six grains q day, one hundred and eighty
grains a week, or six hundred grains q
month. Has taken twenty grains at q
dose, and frequently thirty IL day.
Eight years ago he ATTEMPTED to reform,
and stopped its use, which made him 80
delirious that his physicians and friends
feared he would die if he continued to
do without it. He then renewed the
habit, with occasional seasons Of partial
reformation, which were uniformly fol-
lowed by great distress, delirium, and
such dangerous indications that he soon
relapsea into his old habit. When the
special religious services were held at
the H%ippodrome, in New York, last
March, be attended, and went into the
inquiry-room, where he was urged to
discontinue the habit and become a
Christian. Was made the subject of
prayer, and great solicitude was maui
tested in his behalf by Mr.. Moody and
others. On the thirteenth OF March he
took the last dose, and was taken to a
place away from his family, where he
could be properly cared for, and seen
by those who had become 80 deeply in
terested in his welfare. From Monday,
the thirteenth, till Wednesday, he was
comfortable, the following three days
he was delirious, more or less, antHfelt
faint at times, then chilly, and had other
symptoms indicating nervous prostra-
ton. After chat he improved, and went
home in three weeks. BE has gained
in flesh and strength, and has improved
in every respect. During sixteen years
he has spent 81, 800 for opium. He has
now lived without it nearly six months,
and has no desire to take it again !; and
wishes it to be known that he believes
he has been saved through the agency
of divine grace. The case illustrates
the tolerance which the system may &C.
quire for this drug. One grain Of NOR
phine is equal to eight grains OF opium.
twenty-five drops Of elixir Of opium is
equal to one grain OF opium. Four
grains OF opium has produced death.
It is remarkable, and worthy Of notice,
as it may induce those who are addicted
to the habit to reform.

What Rum Does,

Among the prisoners who are periodi-
cally arrested and brought into a New
York court is a woman named Catharine
Leonard, whose passion for whisky is
unappeasable. She frequently appeared
in court with a small, emaciated baby,
which was destitute of anything that
could be called clothing. Her husband
was sober and industrious, and WAS her
exact antipodes. A few days ago she
was arrested on the usual charge, and
was committed for five days. She was
released, bnt Immediately followed her
usual course. While walking through
the street her baby, after a years sick
ness and i'll treatment on her part, died
in her arms: and was thus delivered from
much prospective uffering.

The Fatal Prize Fight.

In the following article the Christian
Alliance is the spokesman for the great
or part of the nation: At a prize fight,
near Philadelphia, one of the pugilists
died on the field. When the master Of
ceremonies called "time there was one
who did not respond for the simple
reason that he had done with time "
and was passing over the solemn river.
The next scene was that of carrying the
body home to the father. And what a
body it was! The face that had once
been q sweet child's face, that had cheer
ed the father and mother, that had even
in a humble home been the homes
light, lay now without semblance of the
human form divine. It had been pound
ed into a formless mass.
Than that prize fight nothing could
be more humiliating it would seem to
the whole length and breadth of the
land. The poor little fellow who died
in the contest wasso humble in property
that when he put up ten dollars that he
would win he put up all the property he
had in the world. Thus he showed the
condition of a simple idler, of a man
willingly poor. Had he staked what
common sense or nobleness he possess.
ed, the showing would have been small
or still. To hail such a hero came a
crowd OF devils from all the purlieus of
vice. These howled around the rope,
and the harder the blows the more ex-
quisite their delight. The presence of
these rendered the scene more internal.
In the distance appeared a few police
men representing the United States ane-
Christianity and the centennial yeard
and having uttered a childish shout, ran,
back to a place of safety. This cast o
blush OF shame over the affair, recalling
as it did the weakness of the great re-
public in dealing with criminals.
There has been no event for a long
while in which might be found 80 many
painful and sickening particulars. Such
an exhibition could not occur among
savages, for in those tribes blows pass
only between angry enemies, not be-
tween friends; such a spectacle never
occurred at the old Roman amphithea-
ters, for there the pugilists fought un-
der c%ompulsion.
It would at first thought seem that a
law should be passed making such sport
punishable in most severe manner, and
Including in the penalty all who even
acted as spectators; but this longing for
a law is only the result OF a simple
mindodness that forgets how powerless
our nation is to enforce what criminal
law it has already placed on its statute
books. Any one who marks the utter
weakness of the State as to swindlers,
thieves, and murderers, will find his de-
sire for a stringent law against fighting
very muck weakened. The daily press
views a legal remedy as hopeless and in
the case under notice has been COMPEL
cd to find a little satisfaction in the fact
that one Of the brutal men died, and in
the wish that the other had done like
wise.

Killed by CannibaIs.

The schooner Dancing Wave arrived
at Sydney, Australia, from the Solomon
group, July 4, with the news Of a mas
sacre that had been perpetrated by the
South sea natives, Capt. Harrison and
all hands, excepting one, on board the
Dancing Wave, having been murdered.
On the twenty-third Of April last the
Dancing Wave called at Florida island to
obtain native labor for Somerset. Ma.
tives were engaged and brought on
board, and there were also others who
had received tomahawks and other arti'
cles from the captain in barter. With
out warning, the natives rose upon the
crew, attacking them with tomahawks.
Capt. Harrison was almost instantly
killed, together with some Of his crew,
while the chief officer and steward, after
being wounded, reached the cabin. where
they shot themselves. A seaman named
Broad Cor Board) Jumped overheard and
got to Sayau, forty miles of, in q boat,
when the vessel was recovered by the
crew Of the bark Sydney, and it was then
found that the natives had plundered
her. It is said that the natives took two
heads and one body ashore. Broad, be-
fore escaping, shot several Of his assail'
ants, and several natives from another
island, engaged on board, were also
killed.
Subsequent to the receipt of this in.
telligence Commodore Hoskins received
q communication from Consul Layard,
at Noumea, dated June II, to the effect
that he had just heard from Capt. Lind,
owner Of the Laura Lind, that he fell in
with the Rev. Mr.. Inglis, in the mission
airy vessel Dayspring, who reported that
an English vessel from QiccuilalL had
run ashore at Tanna, at a place called
Yagoos; THAT the crew fred at the No
tives, who attacked them in turn, burned
the vessel, then killed and ate the crew.
Capt. Lind had been in Port Resolution.
and he Gays that all the natives who
came in agreed as to the destruction Of
the vessel and her crew.
