ga LEETLE WEAK IN THE HEAD. AT
the post-office yesterday, there were vigor-
GUS inquiries for the chief clerk, and when
the Captains face appeared at the window
the inquirer asked:
''Has cross-eyed woman been here ask
ing for letters addressed to me?''
The Captain hadn't seen her.
"Well, she'll be here this forenoon. She
is my wife, and she's leetle weak in the
head She's got the notion that get love
letters from woman in Canada, and she'll
be here to ask for my mail.''
"Well ?"
"Well, don't get any such letters, of
course, but you mustn't give her my mail.
She might get letter with a draft in it,
and not know its value. Just say to her
that you never knew of my receiving let
ter here, and that you have repeatedly heard
me say that had the best wife in town.
"But don't know you.''
"Never mind that. In dealing with an
insane woman it's best to be soft and slick
and smooth. Just shake hands with her,
praise her small feet, and tell her she ought
to be proud of such husband as am. -

STAGaERs AND INDIGESTION This dis
ease is thus treated by the agricultural edi-
tor of the New York Times: "It is known
as staggers,' or congestion of the brain, re-
sulting from indigestion and distention of
the stomach and bowels. 1t is often called
stomach staggers, and frequently occurs
when horses not subject to indigestion are
overfed with grain or green food. The
only proper treatment is to relieve the bow
els by purge of half an ounce of powdered
aloes in warm water, or pint of linseed
oil, or an injection of warm soap and water
with handful Of salt. Afterwards to feed
the horses very cautiously, giving only the
ligbtest and best food, viz: sound timothy
hay, cut, moistened, and mixed with oats
and rye ground together; half a tablespoon
full of salt and ateaspoonful of ginger should
be given in each feed. A drachm of sui
phate of iron in each feed for a week would
be of use. Care must be taken to give WA
ter in small quantities, but often, and al
ways to treat the horse so that the stomach
may never be overloaded or overworked.
If this is neglected there is danger that on
some occasion fatal attack may occur"

EAT CELERY.-A writer who is familiar
with its virtues says: 81 have known many
men, and women, too, who, from various
causes had become so much affected by
nervousness that when they stretched out
their hands they shook like aspen leaves on
a windy day, and by moderate dai use
Of the blanched footstalks of celery as
salad, they became as strong aud steady in
the limb as other people. l have known
others so nervous that the least annoyance
put them in state of agitation, and they
were in constant perplexity and fear, who
were also specially cured by moderate
daily use of blanched celery as a salad at
meal time. l have known others to be
cured of palpitation of the heart. Every
body engaged in labor weakening to the
nerves should use celery daily in the season,
and onions in its stead when not in season.
We give it daily to our canary birds and it
cures them of fits: they are little animals
of very delicate nerves, easily frightened,
and therefore they need such remedy
very much, and the relish with which they
take it is proof that their instinct guides
them to eat what is good for them. ."-Bos-

celebrated and popular medicines have effected a
revolution in the healing art, and provedthe fala-
cy of general maximS which have for many years
obStructed the progress of medical science The
false supposition that Consumption is incurable
deferred physicians from attempting TO find RENE
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death, without making
an effort to escape from a doom which they sup
posed to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved, how
ever, that Consumption can be cured, and that il
hos been cured in very great number of eases
(Some OF them apparently desperate oneS) by
SchenckS Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other
cases by the same medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills

case.
DR.. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. was sup
posed at one time to be at the very gate of DEATH
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less, and abandoned him to his fate. He cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly affected, have used DR..
SchenckS preparations with the same remarkable
success

WHEN AND WHY LAMPS EXPLODE.

We take from the Scientific american a
few hints that journal gives as to the dan
ger arising from using petroleum lamps:
All explosions of petroleum lamps are
caused by the vapor of gas that collects in
the space above the oil. When full of oil,
of course lamp contains no gas, but i'm
mediately on lightning the lamp consump-
tion of oil begins, soon leaving space for
gas, which commences to form as the lamp
warns up, and after burning short time
sufficient gas will accumulate to form an
explosion. The gas in the lamp, will ex-
plode only when ignited. In this respect
it is like gunpowder. Cheap or inferior oil
is always most dangerous.
The flame is communicated to the gas in
the following manner. The wick tube in
all lamp burners is made larger than the
wick which is to pass through it. 1t would
not do to have the wick work tightly in the
burner, on the contrary, it is essential that
it move up and down with perfect ease. In
this way it is unavoidable that space in
INV oNAcS 10 iOit UiOhSo ohO WIN oulACiChU lOI
the fame from the burner to pass down
into the lamp and explode the gas.
Many things occur to cause the fame to
pass down the wick and explode the lamp.
1. A lamp may be standing on table or
mantel, and slight puff of air from the
open window or door may cause an explo-
sion.
2. lamp may be taken up quickly from
table or mantel and instantly explode.
8. A lamp is taken into an entry where
there is draught, or out of doors, and an
explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp taken up flight of
stairs, or raised quickly to place it on
mantel often results in an explosion.
In these cases the mischief is done by a
movement-either by suddenly checking
the draught or forcing air down the Chin
ney against the flame.
s. Blowing down the chimney to extin-
guish the light is a frequent cause of explo-
sion.
6. Lamp explosions have been caused by
using chimney broken off at the top, or
one that has piece broken out, whereby
the draught is variable, and the fame un-
steady.
7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts
small sized wick in a larger burner, thus
leaving considerable space along the edge
of the wick.
8. An old burner, with it's air draught
clogged up, which rightfully should be
thrown away, is sometimes continued in
use, and the final result is an explosion.

The Swiss write more letters to each other
than any other people. In year they car
ry on correspondence of twenty three let
ters for each inhabitant. England comes
next with twenty, then the United States
with nineteen. France holds the ninth rank
as letter writing people. In telegraphy,
also, the Swiss beat us easily. They for
ward eighty-one dispatches for each one
hundred souls, while England sends but
fifty-four. Holland sends ffty-one MESA
ges for one hundred souls; Belgium forty
seven; the United States thirty-two, and
Germany thirty -one. France again comes
in low. She holds the tenth place among

ABOUT CLOTHES PINs.-Insignifcant as
the common wooden clothes pin is in itself,
the manufacture forms no mean part in
American industries, and the numerous
factories in the New England and other
States furnish employment to thousands of
persons. There are several large clothes
pin manufactures in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and one in the vicinity of Saratoga,
New York, each of which is capable of
turning out 1000 boxes, Or 10000 per
week. There are several small factories
scattered throughout Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Vermont, and all are run
by water power. AS a rule those engaged
in the manufacture of clothes pins are
Quakers. Beech, white birch and poplars
are the woods used in making the article,
the birch and poplar being considered the
best. The machinery employed is very
simple. The wood is sawed into logs four
feet in length and then cut into small square
sticks by means ofa cutting machine. Each
stick, after being rounded in lathe, is
passed into another machine, which throws
out number of perfectly formed pins at
one cut and with great rapidity. The pins
are then thrown into large revolving cyl
inder and smoothed by friction with each
other.
New York and Boston are the principal
markets for this ware, and hence they are
shipped in large quantities to the West,
and to England and Australia. Over 100,-
600 boxes of pins are annually sent to Eng
land, and corresponding number to Mel
borne, Sydney, New Zealand and the Sand
wich Islands. Owing to the depression in
business, prices during the past two years
have fallen off twenty five per cent, and
some of the manufactures in New Eng
land have ceased operations because they
could buy cheaper from the West than
they could manufacture themselves, besides
saving the expense of packing and trans
portation. The price depends entirely upon
the finish and number in box.

"How can l get her, boss, un what's de law

EXPLOSION OF THE MEAT SHowER.-The
natural philosopher in the employ of the
Cincinnati Enquirer gives this explanation
of the late meat shower: Most of us have
heard that many years ago COW jumped
over the moon, and to this day, no authen-
tic information has been had of her coming
down. Now, in order to jump over the
moon, the distance traversed would natur-
ally carry the COW outside the influence of
terrestrial gravitation, and, at the same
time, necessitate avoidance of the moon S
attraction. The COW, of course. not being
within the attraction of any heavenly body,
would revolve on her own axis and have an
atmosphere of her own. 1t is also well
known that the rarified atmosphere that ex-
lists few miles away from the earth will
not sustain animal life. Therefore the COW
must have died very soon after leaving the
earth. That, however, would not have pre-
vented the full accomplishment of the jump,
as the impetus at the start would have been
sufficient to propel her, dead or alive, the
required distance through space. 1t is a
verified fact that the preservative effect OF
rarified atmosphere on meat is in direct
ratio to the distance from the earth attained
To sum up, it only remains to supply some
such commotion in nature as that which
disintegrates meteoric bodies and hurls their
atoms into space, and the SO called phenom-
enon is explained. The lapse of time since
the COW died, expla ins the fact that micro
scopic examination of the meat revealed no
bloody corpuscles.
