Idleness Of the Brain.

There is as much danger of hurting
the brain by idleness as by overwork, ac-
cording to DIR. Farquharson's theory, as
he gives it in the Popular Science Monthly.
He argues that intellectual power is
lessened by the listlessness in which the
we'll. TODD classes generally spend their
lives. Under such conditions the brain
gradually loses its health, and although
equal to the demands of routine ex-
istence, is unable to withstand the strain
of sudden emergency. So, when load
of work is unexpectedly thrown on 1t
in its unprepared state, the worst cOnse-
qucnces of what may be called overwOrk
show themselves. Similarly, man &C
customed to sedentary pursuits is liable
to be physically injured by taking sud-
denly to violent exercise. As to the
amount of mental work that may safely
be done, DIR. Farquharson says: $50
long as a brain worker is able to sleep
we'll, to eat we'll, and to take fair pro-
portion of outdoor exercise, it may safely
be said that 1t is not necessary to impose
any special limits on the actual number
of hours which he devotes to his labors.
But when what is generally known as
worry steps in to complicate matters,
when cares connected with family ar
rangements, or with those numerous per-
sonal details which we can seldom es-
cape intervene or when the daily Occu-
patton of life is in itself fertile source
of anxiety, then we find one or other of
these three safeguards broken down."

Scenes on Russian Railroads.

Odessa Correspondence London Daily Telegraph.
North or south there is scarcely any
difference between the aspect ola Russian

been jolting through fat or slightly
undulating series of enormous snow.clad
plains. Stunted birch, fir and larch are
all the flora you perceive. You never
set eyes upon tOwn-One, mean, with
smoke curling from the chimneys, with
women peeping from the easements, with
children playing on the dOorsteps, with
dogs or poultry at the street ends.
For strategic reasons the railway has
been made to run straight as an arrow
from Tartar's bow from one great point
to another of military vantage. They
cay that when the Car Nicholas was
deferentially consulted as to the direc
ton which the st. Petersburg and Mos
COW Railway should follow, his Majesty
simply took pencil and ruler ant
struck straight line on the map from
the new to the old metropolis of his EN-
pire; and the consequence of this inhexi
BILE militarism as applied to civil en-
gineeripgi is that the majority of Russian
towns are two or three miles distant from

UsefuI Information.

The most destructive typhoid and pu-
trid fevers are known to arise directly
from number of persons living in the
same small room.
The teeth should not be washed in
cold water, especially after eating, be-
cause the contrast between it and warm
or hot food is too striking, and chills
them.
OBsERvANT persons know very well
that the way to make man of anybody
is to make him help himself, and that
the inability to do that oftener arises
from the indisposition to do 10 than from
the impossibility of doing it. Show a
man how, make him feel that he ought
to take care of himself, and in nine cases
out of ten he will 20 and do it.
LAZY people eat more than the busy,
at least fer a while, because it affords
them enjoyment. Itisa standing source
of qualification until they become dys-
peptic, when every meal becomes more
or less a torture. But want of occupa-
ton has its attendant moral evils as we'll
as physical. Idlers are nervous. fretful,
pecvish, cross Immature becomes Sec
0nd nature, and they grumble, and com
plain, and whine, from morning until
night, with chance intervals of sunshine,

England's New Climate.

The issue of the New York Herald of
Sunday the 28th ult., contained pre-
tended cable dispatch from London
which, if true, conveys information of
the most startling description. Itstates
that the winter has been one of unex-
ampled severity, 30 that all the papers
are discussing the extraordinary mani
festations of nature, and gravely disput-
ing whether it has not been caused by a
detection of the gulf stream from the
coast of England. If the DETECTION has
taken place, the change of climate will
probably be so extreme, the dispatch
says, that the English nation will be COM
PEELED to emigrate en- m0sse, possibly to
America, possibly to some other favored
country. The publication of this news,
it is almost unnecessary to say, is an ex-
elusive enterprise of the Herald. The
nation will not embark for our shores
until the delicate negotiations now
pending on the subject between the
State Department at Washington and her
Majesty's government are satisfactorily
concluded. Inducements of wild lands
will have TO be offered TO the Queen and
Lord Derby, as was done in the case of
the MennOnites recently.

The GOsn,eI OT DIerts

Where there Is so much rivalry as in the
manufacture of family medicines, he who
would succeed must give positive and con.
vincing proof of merit. This is an age OF
inquiry. People take nothing for granted.
They must know the "phys" aud "aohere-
Jores" before acknowledging the superiority
OF one article over another. Among the
few preparations that have stood the test,
those manufactured by r. v. Pierce, N. D.,
OF the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y,
have for many years been foremost. The
truth of any statement made concerning
them can be easily ascertained, for DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery are now pre-.
scribed by many physicians in curing OBJ.
stinate cases of Catarrh and incipient Con-
sumption. The Discovery has no equal in
curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchial and Ner.
vOus Affections. 1t allays all irritation OF
the mucous membrane, aids digestion, and
when used with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets, readily ovecomes torpid hve,
and Constipation, while the Favorite Pre-
scription has no rival In the field of pre-
pared medicine In curing diseases peculiar
to females. If you wish to "knoso nyse!f,

1t is a higher exhibition of Christian
manliness to- be able to bear trouble
than to get rid of it.
One wise Persian maxim says: "Act
not against thy reason it is a sure
guide; set not thy heart on illusions"
One of the most fatal temptations to

If God has chosen your way, depend

it may be tedious, but it is safe.
Never was sincere word utterly lost,
never magnanimity fell to the ground I;
there is some heart always to greet and
accept it Unexpectedly.
We are not saved by faith without
works, for there is no such faith in
Christ. Nor are we saved by works
without faith, for no works but those
that flow from faith are acceptable to
God.-Bethune.

Burned ut Sea.

The schooner John Bright arrived
lately at San Francisco, from Tahiti, hav-
ing on board Captain Stewart of the
British ship Ada Irondale, and three ap-
prentice bOys-William Lightfoot, Will
liam DenwOod, and Frederick Joyce.
The Captain reports that the ship left
Ardossen, Scotland, June 20, with coal.
October ID, latitude 150 south, longitude
1882 west, fire was discovered in the
lower hold. Every effort was made to
extinguish it, but it was soon evident the
whole body of coal was ignited. The
crew dug down into the cargo until the
gas and heat drove them from the hold.
Water was pumped down but to no ef-
feet. In thirty-six hours from the time
fire was discovered gas generated and
blew up the decks; and finding further
attempts to save the ship useless the
bOats-three in number-were lowered,
and the ships company, consisting of the
steward, five boys and twelve able sea-
men entered them. The Captain took
with him the ships papers, nautical in.
strument, charts, and such amount of
bread and water as could be stored. and
shaped his course for Galapagos Islands,
about twelve hundred miles distant.
Soon after leaving the ship the Captains
boat capsized in heavy sea, and all the
instruments were lost except the sextant,
and also the provisions On board. The
boat was righted again, and the men
picked up. In few days, finding the
wind and currents setting him back, he
abandoned the design of reaching Gal
lipagos, and steered for Marquisas, two
thousand four hundred miles distant.
November one of the boats capsized,
and the carpenter, William Denver, was
drowned. The rest of the crew were
taken on board the other boats. All the
food and water on the capsized boat were
lost, and from that time until November
Q, when they reached an Island of the
Dominick Marquisas group, all hands
were restricted to three wine glasses of
water per day, throughout the time they
were in the boats to two biscuits per
day. The weather was very rough a
portion of the time, and the men suffered
greatly. At night the boats were made
fast to each other, and all kept together
until found by the schooner John Bright,
at Marquisas, in which all hands took
passage for Tahiti, arriving December

to her nest and they to their work.
This she did whenever they blasted.
Of course it highly diverted the men,
and visitors were told of her sensible and
discerning conduct. They were anxious
to see the thrush. The slate could not
be blasted to crafty visitors, but the bell
could easily be rung, and it was. The
bird heard it, and down she flew. After
a few times she saw herself hoaxed, and
when the bell rang again she peeped
over her nest to see If the men left. II
they did not, she sat still and cooked her
