Rocking the Cradle.

The mother that rocks and sings her
child to sleep is unconsciously illustrat-
ing II scientific principle. The hcart
and the system of circulation are popu-
larry thought never to rest. But science
shows that under usual and fair condi-
tionS their rest is perpetual. In Other
words, by their rhythmic or measured
motion in health, the organs of circula-
tion rest between each pulse-that is to
say, eight hours ont of the twenty-four;
rs has been calculated by computing
the pauSeS between the beats of the
pulse. The monotonOuS rhythm of n
simple cradie-song, and the gentle mo-
ton of the rocking-chair or cradle are
in harmony with the rhythm of the
heart, and, the brain being disengaged.
sleep follows. The brain may he said
to be the part of the animal econ
omy which sleeps entirely. Dur
ing healthy sleep the brain is to u
great degree bloodlcss, and this
is shown indirectly by the greater cir
culation of the blood in the skin and ex-
tremities during sleep. Healthy diges-
ton, after Il fairly full but not excessive
meal, promotes sleep, by the calling off
of the blood from the brain to the SOM
ach. \ curious hut familiar illustration
of the accord between the heart move
ments and external measured sounds or
motions, is shown when the nurse stops
cumming" and the troublesome baby
wakes straight up and provokingly
opens its staring eyes. The ''conccrt"
is interrupted and the sleepy accord of
the heart with the successive cadences
of the lullaby is broken. This is why
the cessation of usual sounds will wake
an adult sleeper. 1t is even stated that
soldiers who have fallen asleep during
a cannonade have wakencd when the
noise suddenly ceased.

The Greatest TOOthache Ever
Known.

If even any of you should have a tooth
ache, my poor children, and it's very
likely that you will, just look into the
brook, or any other mirror, with your
tear-dimmed eyes, and notice how small
is the little white tormentor that is
causing so much pain. Then, by way
of comfort, | want you to reflect how
much worse it would be if this tiny
white thing were an elephants great
tusk, with toothache all through it.
Perhaps you will say that elephants
can't have toothache? Then listen to
the sad story Of Chunee, the elephant
of Exeter Change.
At Exeter Change, in the great city
of London, there was, many years ago,
II menagerie in the second story of o
building. Here the elephant, Chunee
by name-a very quiet, well.trained
beast-was confined in a cage, under
which the floor had been strengthened
to support his weight. Chunee never
came out, but seemed very happy, for
all that. Suddenly he became raving
mad, and screamed and trumpeted, and
%endeavored vigorously to tear away the
iron bars of his cage.
Now, if he had succeeded in getting
out upon the floor, Mr.. Chunee would
have Immediately dropped through into
IN apothecary shop below. If he had
fallen into the scales, his exact weight
might have been ascertained, after a
fashion; but, in other respects, a mad
elephant in drugstore would have
been far worse han a bull in a china
shop. II he had been sane, he might
have had Il nice time, eating the liquor
ice and cough-lozenges and sugar
coated pills and candy but as he wasn't
sane, the accident was not to be desired.
Well, Chunee grew more and more
wild and dangerous, until at last. the
"Beef-eaters," who are the keepers of
the tower of London, were called upon
% destroy the poor beast. They dis
CHARGED many halls from their old-fash-
toned muskets into his body, but the
loss VI blood seemed to increase his
fury, and not lessen his strength. There
we c no rifle teams in those days, To
reach his brain with a single shot, SO a
piece of artillery was actually brought
up, and poor Chunee, obeying his keep
er's voice, even in his rage, kneeled
down, and was shot to death with a
c~annon-ball.
Then the surgeons discovered tina,
the elephant had been suffering from
the greatest toothache eve known,
His tusk, preserved in the warehouse Of
the East India Company, shows this.
Now just think of what IN awful
thing six feet Of toothache must have
been, and pity poor Chunee!-St. Nich'
otas for May.

Bear Stories from Vermont.

They tell of a Senator Foster, who
lived for many years Mt Brighton, VT,
and who, though not a large man, dis
tinguished himself by great strength.
Benign the woods n day, so the story
runs, he saw two bear cubs lying on the
ground with their noses turned toward
each other. He had a gun, but wanted
them alive. Placing his gun in a po-
sition where he could swing it under his
arm after he had secured his prey, he
crept softly to the sleeping animals, and
suddenly grasped each by the nose. He
expected in this manner to hold them
so firmly that they could not squeal,
but one Of them slipped from his grasp.
Nothing dauntcd, Jack caught him by
the hind leg, secured his gun and start
ed for home on the run. The cub
whose nose was free set up "A loud cry
and the old. mother soon made her APP
pearance. Jack heard her crashing
through the brush after him. 1t was
but 80 rods to the clearing, and he
had but 10 rods the start. Ii was Il
ease of life and death, but he wouldn't
give up the cubs. There was Il high
log fence just in the edge Of the clear
ing, and fortunately a large log lay
alongside. With one tremendous bound
Jack leapcd on the log. Another II
cular bound carried him over the fence
,,tn thn tiall Tho laay NNua ln tho
fence as soon as Jack struck the ground.
But she hcsitated II moment about fol-
lowing him in the open field, and he
sped away 50 fast that she finally turned
back into the woods, and Jack escaped.
On another occasion this Nimrod vas
in the woods unarmcd, one March day,
| when the snow was six feet deep, and
the surface so soft that no IL could
walk on it without snow-shocs, IL pair
of which Jack had on. A bear which
had Just awakcd from his winter nap
made Il dive al him. He leapcd away
from the brute, but went deep into
the snow, and bruin was upon him.
The battle began, man and beast roll
ing over each other in the desperate
| struggle. As often as the bear
tried to seize him with her teeth or
oycrpowcr him with the fatal hug, Jack
would always save himself by kicking
her on the nose with his snuw-shOcs.
Finally, with one fierce plunge Of claws
and teeth the brute fastened upon Jack,
and, failing to hold him, tore off almost
all his clothing at u single swOop, but,
fortunately, Just ut that moment. he
hit the tip Of her nose Il most powerful
kick. A blow on the end of the nose
causes pain So acute Us to disable Il
bear for II time, and it had that effect
in this case. The brute gave ba'k Il
little, and, and while she was winc'ng
under the pain, Jack regaincd his feet
and 90, several steps away. His assail-
ant started after him again, but the
snow was too soft and she almost bur-
led herself ut every step, while Jack
walked on the surface and escaped.
SO his s"ow-shocs, which rendered him
Il clumsy fighter, finally saved his life.
Ii these stories are not true they ought
IA he.
