Hollow Horn.

This name is used to designate the
symptoms of a variety of diseases.
This represents no particular disease,
and is as indefinite as the term "sick-
ness" The horn of an OK is filled with
highly sensitive and vascular core,
which is prolongation of the frontal
bone, and serves as support to the
horn. The horn is composed of the
same materials as the skin and hair,
and is not sensitive. It may be remov-
ed, leaving the core in its place, and is
then hollow, as we are used to see it
when separated from the head.
These head cores are well supplied
with arteries, veins and nerves; when
ever, from any cause, the tissues of the
head are infamed or congested, the in
creased temperature of the parts is then
felt in the horns more readily than
elsewhere. When the contrary occurs,
and from poverty or excitement else
where, the supply of blood to the head
is diminished, the loss of heat is felt
first in the horns, and they are cold.
It is generally the case when an animal
lis said 70 be affected by horn-ail or
hollow horn. Then the quack recon-
mends the horns to be bored with a
gimlet, and pepper or turpentine to be
burned upon the poll. This causes ir-
ritation and Inflammation of the parts,
restoring the heat, but it only makes the
case and the suffering verse. The
remedy ought to be sought in restoring
the condition of the animal by such
medicine or food as the needs of the
case call for.-Anserioaaa Agric,tyersst.

The Polar Country.
The following extract from a volu,

The following extract from volume
entitled Northern Lights" gives a
graphic pen picture of Greenland:
The whole of this great continent is,
in reality, nothing but one immense,
deep glacier, with fringe of mountains
around it, forming the coast line. This
glacier has never been exploded, never
been crossed, and probably never will
be; for yawning gaps and assures, many
hundred feet in depth, traverse it in
every direction, and inter cept forever
the travellers way.
The interior of this great continent is
an icy solitude that is a secret unknown
to man, and it will probably always re-
main so. It's surface is 1000 feet above
the sea, and when you ascend to it you
will probably perceive somewhere on
the plain which rises before you in a
slight ascent till it touches the sky, two
or three little sharp, connical hills a few
feet high that pierce through the ice,
and you will be astonished to learn that
these insignificant mole-hills are in re-
atty the tops of lofty mountains, that
have been submerged beneath the
mighty inundation of ice.
Somebody has said of Switzerland
that if it were ironed out it would make
q very large country. If Switzerland
were about ten thousand times larger
than it is, and ice were then poured in
to it until it should be full up nearly to
level with the highest fountain peaks
it would present just the appearance of
the interior of Greenland.

nent was at one period Of the earth's
history, green and fertile.
There have been found here forests
of carbonized trees and plants, and the
fossil remains of animals that could
only have existed in q warm climate
Fossil corals and sponges are often
picked up now in Lancaster Sound and
on the shore of BeachY Island.

particles of our bodies should be dissi-
pated as rapidly as possible, and in such
a way that neither Mother Earth nor
the beings she supports should be con-
taminated in the slightest degree. In
fact our Prophet was the greatest of
health officers, and, following his SAM
tary laws, we build our towers on the
tops of the hills, above all human habi-
tat1ons. We spare no expense in con-
structing them of the hardest materials,
and we expose our putrescent bodies in
open stone receptacles, resting II feet
of solid granite, not necessarily to be
consumed by vultures, but to be dissi-
pated in the speediest possible manner,
and without the possibility of polluting
the earth or communicating a single
living being dwelling thereon. God In
deed sends the vultures, and, as a
matter of fact, these birds do their ap-
pointed work much more expeditious1y
than millions Of insects would do if we
committed our bodies to the ground.
In a sanitary point Of view nothing can
be more perfect than our plan. Even
the rain-water which washes our skele-
tons is conducted by channels into
purifying charcoal. Here in these five
towers rest the bones of all the Parsees
that have lived in Bombay for the last
200 years. We form united body in
life, and we are united in death Even
our leader, Sir Jamsetee, likes to feel
that when he dies he will be reduced to
perfect equality with the poorest and
humblest of the Parsee community.
When the Secretary had finished his
defense of the Towers of Silence, !
could not help thinking that however
much such a system may shock ou1
European feelings and ideas, yet ou1
own method Of interment, if regarded
from Parsee point of view, may pos
sibly be equally revolving to Parsee sen
sibilities.
The exposure of the decaying body te
the assaults of innumerable worms may
have no terrors for us, because our sur
vivors do not see the assailants; but lei
it be borne in mind that neither are the
Parsee survivors permitted to look a.
the swoop Of the Heaven-sent birds
Why, then, should we be surprised il
they prefer the more rapid to the more
lingering operation ? and which of the
two systems, they may reasonably ask
is more defensible on sanitary
grounds?

Patrick Henry.

Henry had already received the
name of the "Man of the People" He
sprang from what may be called the
middle class, and his personal appear
ance was plain, almost humble. Dur
ing his early childhood he was noted
for idleness and failure in all that he
undertook. He failed twice as a small
country merchant, giving his time to
hunting, fishing and playing the violin,
instead of to his business; and, as last
resort, read law for six weeks, barely
received a license to practice, and
seemed destined to starve q little more
rapidly even in his new profession than
IN trade. The moment was near,
however, when his wonderful powers
were to reveal themselves. The clergy
of the colony-who were not popu-
lar class-brought suit to recover their
salaries, resting their claim on royal
order In council, which was in direct
opposition to an act Of the Burgesses,
and Henry was employed to oppose
them, though the law was completely
in their favor. The result was remark
able. The awkward youth rose to
speak in the midst of derisive smiles
from the clergy, who were present in
great numbers. His head hung down
and his voice faltered. But soon an
astonishing transformation took place
in his appearance. The head rose
erect, the voice grew vibrating and i'm
perious, and he denounced king, clergy,
and Parliament in terms so violent
and overwhelming that he was inter
tod 1xy E
parsons left the court house in bitter
Indignation. Henry's triumph was
complete. He had played upon the
chords of the popular heart with the
hand of a master. The jury decided
in his favor in open opposition to all
law; and the crowd, yielding to passion
ate admiration, caught the young ora
tor up on their shoulders, and bore
him in the midst of shouts and out
cries, around the yard of the court
house.
Henry's next public appearance was
in the debate on the Stamp Act in the
House Of the Burgesses. We have
seen him on that occasion rise in the
midst of the crowd of planters, and
breaks down all opposition by his i'm
mense eloquence. He had thus car
ried with him the first men of Virginia,
as he had carried with him the rustic
crowd when he spoke against the par
sons. He was thenceforward the
and leader of the extreme
revolutionists, and his own fiery spirit
pervaded the whole fabric of society,
moulding public sentiment, and spur
ring the people to public resistance.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.

"See, Saw, Marjorie Daw!"
BY MRS. CLARA DoTy BATES.
think of a pictured saint,
With a halo round the hair,
As she sits, SO motherly, grave and quaint,
In her little rocking chair.
Her dolly is on her breast,
And her tender-lidded eyes
Gaze softly downward on its rest
Loving, Madonna-wise.
What is the lullaby she sings
AS back and forth she swings and swings?
''See, saw,
Marjorie Daw ~
Not a dimpled baby at all
Is this which her arms caress,
But it bears the mark of many fall,
And is sadly scant of dress.
And the washed-out cheeks display
Proof that it must have lain,
After some tired summer play,
Out overnight in the rain.
Yet doth the little mother sing
Tenderly to the battered thing
''See, saw,
Marjorie Daw!"
What words for cradle song !"
But know the sleepy sign:
She will Groom awhile, and then ere long
Will leave her chair for mine;
And her voice will sink away
To feeble nestling's cav,
Till the little tongue can scarcely say
s'See, saw, Marjorie Daw! !"
Now, back and forth we swing and swing,
But it is only who sing
''See, Saw,
Marjorie Daw !"
