PoLTTIcs make strange bedfellows
and bring about queer things, at
times. Now everybody knows "Mon-
ty," one of the best-natured and hardest
working men in the Basin. He is no
ted for strict attention to his own
business, very reticent, and generally
answers in monosyllables, and but
few of them. The other day Knapp
is authority for the story Monty"
having business across the Basin, rode
one. of Sam Stewards democratic
nominee for sheriff. horses over. At
ter his arrival he got on a little run
with the boys, and forgetting which
one he was himself, fell into the hands
of the Philistines and drank copiously
of Danskin Republican nominee for
shortly whisky all night. In other
words, monty" performed a two
horse act, each animal going in diff
erent direction-Sam Stewart furnish
ing one and Danskin the other. 1t
puzzles everybody to know which
side of the fence he is on-whether he
intends to vote for John or Sam.
Will "Monty" please set aside his
uncommunicativeness long enough to
explain the matter?

A Physical Phenomenon.

A case has Just come to light in New
ark, n. j., which is in every sense OF
the word as singular in its character rs
that of Il. Fl. Newell, of Jersey City,
who has not eaten substantial food for
six weeks. The case. which is ii very
curious though an interesting one. is
engaging the attention of the medical
fraternity of Newark, who seem to be
very much puzzled over it. 1t appears
that some weeks ago n lady, the wife of
we'll known citizen, went to Rockaway
beach in company with her family to
spend Il pleasant day. During the down
ward trip the water was rough and the
boat heaved somewhat, SO much so. in
deed. that the lady experienced some
disagreecble sensations, but did not be-
come seasick She sought refuge from
her feelings in the cabin, where the
nausea gradually disappeared. Never
theless, her whole system seemed to he
disturbed during the sail, and the sea
breeze did not have the usual invigora-
ting effect. For several days after an
allusion to the boat or the humming of
a tune that was played during the pas
sage caused Il sensation of nausea. and
she could not take any food. For four
weeks her only nourishment has been Il
cracker and II spoonful of coffee or tea
once or twice day, and occasionally Il
peach or piece of melon.
The lady has tried every remedy to
get her appetite back. but without avail
Not alone does she experience want of
appetite but positive repugnance of
food. Tonics, on being taken, are i'm
mediatcly rejected by the stomach.
The digestive organs are fully distend-
ed and larger than in their normal con-
dition. This circumstance sometimes
canscs pain. Her system is very weak
and her health poor. The case is caus-
ing much anxiety among the lady's
friends. The mere mention of sailing,
or the motion of ones arms as in row.
ing and the whistFing of the tunes play
ed, causes II recurrence of the same sen
sations as were felt ON the boat. The
case is looked upon as entirely new in
pathological science, and though specu-
lation is extensive. it is impossible SO
far to arrive ut any solution or remedy.

William Crotch was born in l7115, at
Norwich. His father. a carpenter, with
no knowledge of music. but Il passion
ate love for the art, built Il small organ,
and taught himself two or three COM
mon tunes which he played with one
hand and an occasional chord. When
his little boy was only wear and II half
old he discovered Il great inclination for
music, 10y leaving even his food to at
tend to it when his father was playing.
At two years old he would touch the key
note of his favorite tunes. in order to
persuade his father to repeat them.
Soon after this. as he was unable to
name the tunes. he would himself play
the two or three first bars of them, when
he thought the keynote did not suili-
GENTLY explain what he wished to have
performed. 1t seems to have been
owing to his having heard the perform
ance of Mrs. Lulman, Il musical lady
who came to try his fathers organ, and
who not only played on it, but sang to
her own accompaniment. that he first
attempted to execute tune himself.
One evening, in passing through the
sitting room. he screamed and struggled
violently to 60 to the organ, on which.
when he was INDUCED, he eagerly beat
down the keys with his little fist. Next
day being let with his brother, youth
of II, he would not le5 him rest until he
blew the bellows of the organ, while he
sat on his knees. and beat down the
keys, at first promiscuously; but pres
emily, with one hand. he played enough
of God save the King" to awaken the
curiosity of his father, who being in the
garnet. which was his workshop. has
tened down stairs to inform himself
who was ut the organ When he found
it was the child who was performing, he
could hardly believe what he had heard
and saw. At this time he was exactly
two years and three weeks Old. Next
he made himself master of the treble of
the second part. and the day after he at
tempted the bass. On the parents re-
lating this extraordinary circumstance
to some of their neighbors, they were
laughed at, and advised by no means to
repeat SUCH marvellous stories. as they
would only expose themselves to ridi-
Guile. However, a few days after, Crotch
being ill and unable to so to work, Mr..
Paul, master weaver, by whom he was
employed, passing accidentally by the
door, and hearing the organ, fancied he
had been deceived, and that Crotch had
stayed at home to divert himself on his
favorite instrument. Fully possessed
with this idea, he entered the house,
and suddenly opening the sitting-room
door, he saw the child playing on the
organ. while his brother was blowing
the bellows. Mr.. Paul thought the
performance so extraordinary that he
Immediately brought two or three Of
the neighbors to hear it, who, propooa-
ting the news, crowd of nearly one
hundred people came the next day to
hear the young performer; and on the
following day still greater numbers
fiocked to the house from all quarters
of the city, till at length the childs pa
rents were forced to limit his exhibit
tons to certain days and hours, in or
der to lessen his fatigue, and exempt
themselves from the Inconvenience of
constant attendance on the curious null

A WESTERN JUsTIcE.-When Illinois
was young, and her towns were few and
sparsely settled, with a population not
remarkable for general culture, GER
tain justice of the peace presided in the
examining trial of man accused Of
murder. No lawyer had yet settled in
this particular town, and the squire had
it all his own way. After the testimony
was in, he gravely called the prisoner
to the bar, sentenced him to be hanged
on the following day, and duly attended
himself. to see the sentence properly
executed. A few months afterward
there was another murder in the town,
and the suspected murderer was
brought before the squire for examine
ton. In the meantime, however, law.

gagged by the accused, and appeared in
old justice was proceeding as calmly
with the second case as with the first
when he was interrupted by the learned
counsel. IF the court please. he said,
'you cannot try this man. All that
you can do is to hear the evidence, and

The HEARING OF BEEs.-The ques-
ton whether bees have the power of
hearing is a mooted point among natur-
alists. Sir John Lubbock has tried ex.
perimcnts with his bees in order to elu-
cidate the matter. Thus he has played
the violin close to his bees, he has tried
dog whistle, shrill pipe, a tuning
fork, and shouting, but no noise seemed
to disturb them in the least. Never
theless curious occurrancc took place
a few days since at Windsor.
Colonel Stewart, commanding officer
Second Life Guards, reports that few
days since, when the regiment was re.
turning from field day, swarm of
bees, attracted by the music, followed
the regiment into the barracks, flying
about over the heads of the band. On
arriving in the barracks yard the band
formed up to play the regiment into
barracks the bees followed their ex.
ample, forming up also, and settling on
branch of tree over the heads of
the bandsmen. They were at once
taken prisoner by the corporal of the
guard, and are now hived in the barrack
yard.
The distance over which the bees fol-
lowed the band was more than mile.
We have heard of spelling bees, but
these are musical bees with Il vengeance.
1t is common practice in the country
to collect bees by means of rafting q
warming pan with piece of iron, or
shaking stone in q tin kettle, and the
idea that bees will follow sound is as
old as Virgil.

A Generation on tho March,

a generation on the march from the
cradle to the grave is an instructive
spectacle, and we have it carefully pre-
sented to us in the report of DR.. Farr,
an English physician. Let us trace the
physical fortune which any million OF
us may reasonably expect. The num-
Der to begin with. is made mp of 5l1,-
745 boys and ass. 80 girls, dispro-
portion which by and by will be re-
duced by the undue mortality of the
boys, and will he reversed before the
close of the strange, evcntful history
More than quarter of these children
will die before they are five years old
in exact numbers, III, 1857 boys and
III 800 girls. The two sexes are now
nearly on level. The next five years
will be much less fatal. In the sue
ceeding five years-from 10 to 15-the
mortality will be still further reduced
Indeed, for both sexes, this is the most
healthy period of life the death rate,
however, is lower for boys than for
girls. There will be some advance in
deaths in the next five years, and still
more in the five that follow. but 634 ,O45
will certainly enter on their Goth year.
Before the next ten years are at an end
two-twirls of the women will have mar.
ried. The deaths during that period
will be 52,052, and of those no fewer
than ~ lab will be caused by consump-
ton. Between 35 and 10 still larger
death toll" will be paid, and little
more than half the original band-in
exact numbers, 5O2, 9l5-will enter on
their 10th year. Each succeeding de-
cade, up to 70. will now become more
fatal, and the numbers will shrink ter
ribly. At rs only lGl, 124 will remain
to be struck down, and of these l22, $50
will have persisted by the s5th year of
the march. The 80, $50 that remain will
soon lay down their burdens; but q
1913 of them will struggle on to o5, and
223 to be 100 years old. Finally, in the
1OSth year of the course, the last soli-
tary life will flicker out. Such, then,
is the average lot of million mon and
women.

Hints for the Caro- of tho Teeth.

We find in an exchange an article on
care and treatment of the teeth, from
which we draw several points: Persons
with dccaycd teeth should never drink
anything too hot or too cold, as either
will attack the nerve and bring on tooth
ache. In having dccayed teeth stopped,
take care that all the decaye'l parts are
previously cleaned out. Observe, also,
that the stopping used is not of mercu-
rial preparation.
In cleaning the teeth, never use any
gritty substance, as tending to destroy
the enamel coating of the teeth.
TO prevent the formation of tartar, rub
the teeth on going to bed, and also the
first thing in the morning. Pay partic-
ular attention to the stomach, and when
you find the tongue furred take some
proper medicine.
Exposure to cold is the most frequent
cause of rheumatism in the face and
toothache; therefore, avoid, when posi-
BILE. being out in the damp air.
When You have the tOOtlacllc, do not
be persuaded to try creosote it gives
temporary relief to the carions tooth at
the expense of destroying the sound
members.
In using lamentations, take care your
face is not exposed to II draft of cold air,
the parts being more sensitive of ont
ward influence Mt that time.
The worst of all bad habits is picking
the teeth with pin, and nothing is so
predisposing to toothachc II such a
habit must he INDUCED in, Use quill.
And, lastly, he it observed that the fu-
ture perfection of the teeth depends up
on the attention bestowed upon them in
youth. Parents cannot be too strongly
impressed with the importance of this
advice; nor can youth be too frequently
to themselves.
