Treatment Of Inebriety.

THERE is no specific for inebriety. 1t
is constitutional ailment, to be treated
constitutionally. 1t is not necessarily
due to alcoholism. Choral and opium
inebriety are already becoming danger
ously common; and there are hundreds
of other stimulants and narcotics to
which resort may be had. The only rem
edial course is to place the inebriate
where alcohol or the provoking cause of
his ailment cannot be had for the sight
of it, or the smell of it, will excite all
the desire for it. To this treatment soda
tives, tonics and nutritious food to build
up the system may be added. To per-
sons having any tendency to inebrety,
the only safe course is absolute abstinence
during early life. AS regards the human
race, the disease finds its remedy in
itself; for degeneracy in any direction
cannot go on Indefinitely; anc after any
qualities, good or bad, attain certain
stage of growth, they cease to reproduce
themselves. The excessively feeble and
nervous stocks must perish, and the
fight for existence be maintained between
the less feeble and less nervous and the
well balanced and strong; and thus by a
process of successive Examinations race
may be developed that shall be every
way adapted to the complex conditions
of high civilization.-Scienttfc Amer-

A Wonderful Girl.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Eagle gives
startling account of very singular
phenomenon witnessed in a young girl
residing three miles over the hills from
Ephrata. Drs. Beck and Jerome report
the facts. She is daughter of Edward
Hyatt, and is in her thirteenth year. Up
to within two weeks ago she appeared
perfectly healthy, but recently a strange
and mysterious affection has seized upon
her. She has gradually increased in
size to an alarming extent. From her
feet to her head her limbs are swollen,
and she appears nearly twice as heavy
as she was two weeks ago, when the fact
is she is much lighter. Her skin is
drawn very tightly over her flesh, and it
more resembles an inflated bladder than
anything else. The poor child suffers
little pain, but she is deeply mortified at
her shocking appearance. None Of her
clothing fits her, and she says she feels
as light as a feather. An experiment
was made in bath-tub filled with warm
water, and she actually floated like a
life-preserver. Her entire body is pulled,
and her cheeks, arms and limbs seem
swollen and ready to burst When the
cuticle is punctured with silver needle
air escapes in puffs, and in this manner
the skin is prevented from bursting. 1t
is not dropsy. The patient says she feels
light enough to fly, and as the case is a
mystery to the physicians it is intended
to take her to Philadelphia for examina-
tion.-Reading (Pa.) Eagle.

They Knew She Was Married.

They were very pretty, and there was
apparently five or six years difference in
their ages. AS the train pulled up at
Bussey, out on the A., X. & D., the
younger girl blushed, flattened her nose
nervously against the window, and drew
back in joyous smiles as young man
came dashing into the car, shook hands
tenderly and cordially, insisted on carry
ing her valise, magazine, little paper
bundle, and would probably have carried
her had she permitted him. The passen-
gers smiled as she left the car, and the
murmur went ripping through the
coach: They're engaged" The other
girl sat looking nervously out of the
window, and once or twice gathering her
parcels together as though she would
leave the car, yet seemed to be expecting
some one. At last he came. He bulged
into the car like house on fire, looked
along the seats until his manly gaze fell
on her upturned, expectant face, roared:
Come on! I've been waiting on the
platform for fifteen minutesw grabbed
her basket and strobe out of the car,
while she followed with little valise, a
band box, a paper-bag full of lunch, a
bird-cage, glass jar of jelly preserves,
and an extra shawl And crusty-look-

Frankie's Heaven.

l HEARD Il little girl of five describe
three few days ago. She was standing
so near the golden gate she could see
beyond it, but no one knew it, In her
heart she was sure that heaven was very
lovely, and with strange child wisdom
had always talked of going there to live.
Her little brother frankie refused to
take any interest in the mysterious coun-
try. The earth suited him first-rate, the
principal attraction here being peanuts.
In vain she tried to implant in his mind
the same longing for white robes and
flowers which lurked in her own. He
denounced heaven outright, declaring
that bright things and moosic was nuf-
fin without peanuts"
but, o Frankie" said the devout
child, God is very rich. The very
washtubs in His house are filled with pea
nuts"
"Does he teep them tovered?" said the
worldly frankie.
NO." said the trusting Mamie; call
His little boys and girls take peanuts
whenever they want them"
The unspiritual infant unused little,
and then said, with an air of decision:
" Well, Mamie, I'll stay here, but if you
do to heaven send me back one of Dod's
washtubs full of peanuts"
Mamie went to heaven in little
while, and the hopeful frankie sits by
the window very often, keeping sharp
lookout for the arrival of his tub of pea.

were $500, 00subscribed by private stock
holders, $4,000, 900 by the city of Brook
Ign, and $1,500,000 by the city of New
York. Of the private subscriptions $780,
800 were paid in, but this was returned
with interest to the stockholders last
year by the assumption of the work by
the two cities. The act of the Legisla-
ture now requires the bridge to be i'm.
ished by a joint subscription of New
York and Brooklyn, in the proportion
of the original contribution, the
latter to pay twice the amount of the
former. The cost of the bridge is given
at $9,000,000 besides the acquisition of
land; the latter is estimated at So, 500, 900.

Wedding Gifts.

There are at least six persons, posi-
bly, more, in New York city engaged in
the purchase of superfuous wedding
presents, three of whom deal exclusively
in certain class of articles. One of
these dealers, interviewed by reporter,
carries on business in the Bowery, where
he has a large store ostensibly for the
sale of unredeemed pledges, but his most
lucrative business is in the purchase and
sale of wedding presents that are only so
much old lumber to the owners. When
asked how he conducted the business, he
replied: you see, when young couple
belonging to good families get married,
their friends all make them presents,
and, nine times out OF ten, the young
folks find themselves in possession of
certain kinds of household stuff enough
to last several generations. The young
wife often discovers that she has set of
jewelry for almost every day in the
month. Why, some time ago did bust
ness with newly-married couple, now
living III Lexington avenue, where the
young bride-and a beautiful girl she
was-had eight opera glasses. OF course
she didn't want them all, SO | bought
five of them. Here's one of them left
Showing small but handsome pearl
mounted opera-glasS). Silverware and
china are other things that newly-mar-
ried people generally find they have too
much Of; but | don't do anything in that
way. There are other men in the bust
ness who deal in that and nothing else.
l contine myself to jewelry and trinkets"
but how do you know on whom to
call, and when?" "That is simple
enough. You see, the marriages are all
published in the papers, and, where it is
a wedding between rich folks, u report is
made of it, and a list of the presents
given. You see, when | have got the
names and residences am all right. o
no; l don'kgo to them as soon as they
are married; that wouldn't do They'd
kick you out of the house if you went on
such business the first few weeks You
have to let them settle down to house
keeping and find out how much useless
stuff they have got, and even then if you
call they may not be willing to sell. The
husband generally is, but the wife is
sure to object at first, o no, dear she
will say, L can't sell that. You know
Aunt Martha gave it to me, and it
wouldn't be right to sell it, and so on
with everything else; but after seeing
them two or three times, they fall in with
the idea, and are willing to sell anything
they don't want"
81 suppose you purchase such arti-
Giles very cheap?" "Well Qaughing),
you may be sure don't give more than
they are worth. You see, often have
those things in my store for a year be-
fore l sell them, and on some things,
such as fans, often lose money. Some
times | sell things have bought in that
way to gentlemen wanting to make we'd
ding presents; for, you see, buy from
the rich people and they are first-class
goods. When l get them they are as
good as new, but l can sell them for
much less than they cost at first, and
people who can't afford to pay high
prices come to me for their wedding
presents. ~. Y Mercury.

younger days, | remember, my wife and
myself were on our plantation with some
of our slaves, and one day we heard the
cries of baby and saw child carried
up into the sky by one of these guam
ionlens. The baby had been laid on the
ground, and the guanionien, whose eyes
never miss anything, and which had not
been noticed soaring above our heads,
bounced on its prey, and then laughed
at us as he rose and flew to distant
part of the forest"
Then Querlaoun showed me fetch
partly made of two huge claws of this
bird. What tremendous things these
talons were! how deep they could go
into the flesh!
Then came the wonderful stories of
the very great strength of the bird.
The people were afraid of them, and
were compelled to be very careful
of their babies. These grand eagles
do not feed on fowls; they are
too small game for them. Monkeys
are what they like best; they can watch
them as they float over the top of the
trees of the forest, but sometimes the
monkeys get the better of them.
" People had better not try to get hold
of the guanionien young, if they want to
keep their sight" said Candy, -" for, as
sure as we live, the old bird will pounce
upon the man that touches its young"
For a long time heard the people
talking Of the guanionien, but had
never yet had glimpse of one. Now,
looking up again, saw several of them
