A PHYSICIAN Of . London hospital
writes to the British Medical Journal:
There IS no recognized reason why Of
late years neuralgia Of the face and scalp
should have increased 30 much in the f.
male sex a. compared with our own.
There Is no doubt that it il one of the
most common Of female maladies-one Of
the most painful and difficult of treat
ment. It ID also cause of much mental
depression, and leads more often to habits
Of intemperance than any other. This
growing prevalence of neuralgia may to
some extent be referred to the effects Of
cold upon the terminal branches Of the
nerves distributed to the skin; and the
reason why. men are less subject to it than
women may to great extent be explained
by the much greater protection afforded
by the mode IN which the former cover
their heads when they are in the open air.
Il may be observed that the surface of the
head which Is actually covered in man is
at least three times that which fashion al
lows to women; indeed, the points OF con-
tact between the hat or bonnet and the
head in the latter are 80 irregular as prac-
tically to destroy any protection which
might otherwise be afforded.

4 Sham Messiah.

The Alexandrian correspondent of the
Judischs Psesse writes that the oppressive
conduct of the Sultan of Yemen toward
the Jews at the time of DR.. Stern's mis-
sion to Sauna was turned to account by
an ambitious dreamer in the province of
Hadramaut, who from his youth had de-
voted himself to the study of the cab6alaA,
by declaring publicly that he was selected
by Providence to gather the Jews from all
corners of the globe and lead them back
to Jerusalem. He principally referred
by way Of proof to the words addressed
by the dying patriarch to his twelve sons,
and which, as known, run thus: "And
will announce to you what will happen
to you in the latter days" Genesis, xiii,
~. From these words, the would be Mes
siah endeavored to prove that as soon as
Islam should have reached its thirteenth
century its dominion would begin to de-
cline and Israel would return to her
country. This new Messiah, generally
called 1bn David (son Of David), found
numerous followers, not only among the
Jews of Hadramaut, but also among those
of Yemen, and on all sides the news
spread that the true Messiah Of the Jews
had come and that he would soon take
up his abode in Ell Kuds (Jerusalem). Pill
grims now arrived from all parts of Ara
bia, brought him valuable presents, and
declared themselves ready to combat the
Arabs under his banner. In some parts of
Arabia the Jews went even so far as to al
ter the text of the prayers. But while he
was busy in forming q ministry. equip

pie arrived, conquered the whole country,
and Abd-ul-Aziz thus became the neigh
Dor of the future King of Jerusalem, who
meanwhile resided on mountain to the
south of the city Of Maribah, as he did
not wish to live any longer among Moham-
medans, who might render him unclean
by contact with him. Being afraid lest
his pretensions should bring on a war
with the Sultan, who happens to be SOW.
ereign of Jerusalem de facto, the Messiah
deemed it expedient for the moment to re.
nounce his dignity, and to wait for new
call from heaven. His followers did not
quite agree with this resolution, but new
ertheless submitted to the will of their
lord. Ibn David (Suleiman was his real
nance soon atterward disappeared from
Hadramaut, and his name died away.
But now I learn from South Arabian
merchants that Ibn David again shows
himself in public, and that his followers
begin to look forward hopefully to tho
time when he will redeem his pledge, and
place the crown of David on his head.

IT is a fact perhaps not generally
known, says the Oakland (Ca1) Nesos,
that there is firm doing business in San
Francisco who purchase the thousands Of
that city, or that may have been otherwise
killed, for which they pay forty cents
each. The carcssses are conveyed to their
mandatory at south San Francisco,
where the skins are removed and sold to
the tanneries, the hair taken off and re-
sold to plasterers, the hide tanned, made
into gloves and sold in the market. The
denuded carcass is then thrown into
huge 'caldron and boiled until the bones
are easily separated from the flesh, when
they are removed and sold to the sugar
re6neries, where they are ground to . fine
powder and used to clarity the sugar. The
oil that rises to the surface of the boiling
mass is skinned off and manufactured
into cod liver oil, and the remainder used
for the purpose Of fattening hogs.

Brindle's Leap.

Years ago, while still working at home,
I went one day to tie up my fathers COWS.
! opened the stable door, and the queen of
the yard-old Brindle-started in, but
stopped just inside the door and would go
no further. Thinking it was because the
stable was SO dark, urged. her, but to no
purpose. I kicked, and found two could
play at that game. Her conduct was so
unusual that then began to investigate,
and found that sunbeam came through q
crack and reached across the stable Just
before her, making the little dancing
notes plainly visible, and looking, for all
the world. like bar newly put up, over
which she could scarcely leap, and under
which she felt it impossible to crawl. En-
joying her perplexity, now that the cause
was plain, waited, and laughed to see
her lift her head (evidently comparing the
height of the supposed obstruction with
some fence over which the mischievous
creature had broken in past days) and
then give 1t up, as was plain by the fact
that she began to calculate the chances of
crawling under, and shook her head at it.
Explanation was useless, as it is in sundry
like cases among more intelligent ami
mails, and the fun was TOO good to spoil
by coercion. At length went round and
poured the sliced turnips slowly into the
manger. This was too much. Old Brin-
die evidently made up her mind that she
must risk everything for the mess. So,
with sudden leap, she cleared the OBJ
struction, without touching Ohough she
came down just where it would have been)
"a feat which evidently astonished her
and took her place at the Manager. She
looked as if she could not see any reason
for the shout that greeted her. 1t was Sc
rious business to her. And ever since, if
l see one delaying to do plain duty for
various reasons which seem real and COM
Portable to him, but are only sunshine
or moonshine-to anyone else, I always
think OF old Brindle, and endeavor to find
out what is turnip to him, IN order to
coax him on to it. But many = man
makes as unnecessary and ludicrous q
leap in getting clear OF imaginary obstruc-
tons as did old Brindle.-Aduance.
