every reason to believe lastly, that many
of the markings are nothing more than
results OF the forked zigzag course Of the
lightning itself. Mr.. Tomliuson in his
interesting volume The Thunderstorm,
has gone somewhat fully into this subject.
He had had occasion to observe the man.
ner in which the disruptive discharge of
electricity from an electrical machine
marks out its path over badly conduct.
ing surface, such as glass, aud was struck
by the tree.like impression produced. He
gives wood-cut representation Of sur
face struck by the flash or spark of a
small Leyden jar and it is impossible to
avoid seeing how strikiugly the markings
assume tho form Of tree. The proba.
oility is pointed out, that in cases where
persons struck by lightning have had tree
like marks imprinted on their persons
they have been hastily considered to be
real images of actual trees close at hand.
1t may, moreover, be observed that some
persons. when struck by lightning, have
received blue marks or bruises these
may put on ramificd appearance, "not
only from tho irregular mode in which
electricity travels about in search Of the
line of least resistance, but also from the
smaller vessels becoming congested, and
consequently visible. ."-Chambers's Jour.

Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Consumption.
A Wonderful Cure.

AtoNhholhh, ~. - y hu' Az AOfIt
R. V. PIERCE. M. D. Buffalo. N. Y:
DEAR SIR-I had suffered from Catarrh
in an aggravated form for about twelve
years and for several years from Bron.
chial trouble. Tried many doctors and
things with no lasting benefit. In May,
'72, becoming nearly worn out with ox.
cessive editorial labors On paper in New
York City, l was attacked with Bron.
chitls in severe form, suffering almost a
total loss of voice. returned home here,
but had been home only two weeks when
l was completely prostrated with hemor.
rhaee from the lungs, haeing four seeers
bleeding spells witdin t,0o ,oesks, and first
three inside of nine days. In the Sep.
tember following, improved sufficiently
to be able to bc about, though in a very
feeble state. My bronchial trouble re-.
mained and the catarrh was tenfold worse
than before. Every effort for relief seem.
ed fruitless. l seemed to be losing ground
daily. l continued in this feeble state,
raising blood almost daily until about the
6rst of March, '73, when 1 became so bad
as to be entirely confined to the house.
A friend suggested your remedies. But
l was extremely skeptical that they would
do me good, as l had lost all heart in
remedies, and began to look upon medi.
cine and doctors with disgust. However,
l obtained one of your circulars, and read
it carefully, from which l came to the
conclusion that you understood your bust.
ness, at least. l finally obtained quapti.
ty Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, your
Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets,
and commenced their vigorous use accord
ing to directions. To my surprise, l soon
began to improve. The Discovery and
Pellets in short time brought out a
severe eruption. which continued for
several weeks. l felt much better, my
appetite Improved, and l gained in
strength and flesh. In three months every
vestiSe of the catarrh was gone, the
bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no
cough whatever and l had entirely ceased
to raise blood and, contrary to the ex.
pecta.ion of some Of my friends, the cure
has remained permanent. I have had no
more hemorrhages from the lungs and
am entirely free from catarrh, from
which l had suffered so much and SO long.
The debt of gratitude owo for the bless
ing have received at your hands, knows
no bonds. l am thoroughly satisfied,
from my experience, that your medicines
will master the worst forms of that odious
disease Catarrh, a. we'll as Throat and
Lung Diseases. l have recommended
thvm tv vory mauy auu SHALL ever speak
in their praise. Gratefully yours,

derness.

On Long Lake DR.. Todd found a set
tlement of about sixty people, who were
without school, church or religious ser.
vices, and, moved at once to compassion
he determined to preach to them. 1t was
Saturday when he came, but two young
women in boat published the news
throughout the settlement in time, and.
the next morning, Dr.. Todd preached the
first sermon ever heard in tie Long Lake
country. 1--WE could not sing" he said,
in writing about the matter, "for none
had learned the songs of Zion in strange
land, Gu the afternoon, we met, four or
five miles up the lake, to accommodate
one who was feeble. They were all there
again. One woodman now recalled a
half-hunting tune or two, aud so We had
singing" A year later, DR.. Todd visited
the settlement again, and found it much
improved in every way. At the close of
tho service on this second occasion, he
took the responsibility Of organizing the
people into q church, without tho sanction
Of council, there being 10 churches any
where within reach from which to call
one. Baptizing eight children, he orga.
nised their elders, eleven persons, into
"The First Congregational church on
Long Lake" On his return to Pitts6eld,
he wrote in the religious journals some
account OF the little church in the wilder.
ness, interested others, and secured final.
ly valuable contributions of money, BOOKS
and clothing for their benefit and while
the missionary whe was sent to take
charge of the church became discouraged
and left, and the church itself practically
ceased to be, there is no doubt that Dr..
Todd's influence upon the rude people
wrought some measure ofpermanent good
among them A member Of the Long
Lake when asked about DR.. Todd's work
in the wilderness, replied; "Oh, yes, the
doctor came up there and did US a great
deal of good, sent US missionary, and
organized church but be didn't quite
understand us, Why d it, I was

A Good Joke on a Cornell Pro-
fessor,

A few days since, one Of the professors
perpetrated practical joke upon himself
worthy to be cherished in the archives of
the institution. He had occasion to visit
small closet, in which the jauitor keeps
his tools. situated in the basement, near
the engine Not wishing to bo disturbed
while there, be locked himselfin and slip.
ped the key into his pocket. During bis
manipulations he forgot that he had the
key in his possession, and upon trying to
get cut imagined himself the victim of
some malicious physicist. He waited
some time for his iormentor to repent, and
then became exasperated. He pounded
the door, kicked wept, and swore through
the key hole, but iu vain. The janitor
had gone down town, aud there was none
to heed his cry 10 tbe course OF the
afternoon he returned and accidentally
discovered the mighty fallen into sullen
fit Of distrusi aud destitute Of all conf.
deDce in humanity. When the professo.
sat down to his newspaper, that evening,
and, happening to put his hand into his
pocket, found the key TO that closet, he

now tagging half tired out behind, now
trottng courageously to regain tho party

which all carry, now huttering it rapidly
to cool themselves, for the sun was al

ahoat, showed eighty.seven degrees in the
shade. When signs had no effect the
visitors were hailed "Chin chin" the uni.
versal salutation on the China coast, be.
lieved by the English to be Chinese, and
by the Chinese to be English, though in
reality it belongs to neither speech
Probably, however, the use Of the phrase
now is remnant Of former intercourse
with Chinese. Some did actually sue

in seeing the inside of Korean house.
Not woman was visible; all had been
carefully hidden away. The houses are
built of wood. with sliding doors and
windows. like those of the Japanese. In
the front, about the centre, is q recess or
open sided chamber, for reposing in dur.

round it, and cool resting place is thus
made. The house floor is raised plat.

the fields, singly aud in some places in
twos and threes, were numerous rounded
cones with sharp pointed thatch upon
ROOT which look like huts, but were found
to be small granaries for the mllet when
harvested. At the northern end OF the
chief village these stood so thick as to
bear the semblance Of an indian town.

Short Is the road, cen though it lie beyond
The grief and burden Of full three score years,
