How We Hate TO Rest.

Our saasOn5 Of rest are so short that
many hard workers have forgotten how
to enjoy them. Some 'nen, long worked
hard, must go on working. There is no
other chance for them. To sit down is
to break down; TO rest ID to die. lndul.

There are those who tell you that once
they could be moderately happy when
resting; now they dare rest no more.
They may try to make work less urgent

still. They are kept sane and servlceable
only by giving the mind perpetual occu-

Dict and the Fever.

The Christmas issue OF the Popular
Science Monthly has an article on yellow
and similar tevers, from the pen of DR..
Oswald, in which he mentions as a
prominent cause OF malarial, intermit'
tent and yellow fever, and the black
death " OF the middle ages, the vicious
diet OF the populations rather than any
other discovcrabie cause in the locality
such as moisture or drought He repre-
sents that Muhammedans and Jews were
then and are now more exempt from
fevers than other white races. The In
dams of the Amazon attribute teves
directly to the eating OF meat. The
former nations are, if not exclusively,
still very much of vegetable feeders,
while the indians and negroes OF the
tropics live on vegetables and fruit al
most exclusively. During our hot trop
ical summers we live and eat as if they
we're stil enduring the rigors OF an
arctic winter; orr houses and clothes,
cur hours of Iepast, OF work and OF SLEEP
are all based on false notions. We have
no ventilation for our dwellings anc
bodies, do not battle enough in summer
do not sleep or rest after meals, ant
violate the laws of health by consuming
great quantities OF meat and other heat
ing food.

Ancient AnatOmists.

The ancient anatomist must have felt
a zeal Tor the science which makes the
imagination shudder 1t reached to
nothing less t,an dissecting men alive;
for this purpose the bodies OF criminals
were devoted Herophilus, a Greek
physcian of Chalceion, who dourlshed
go wears before the Christian era, is
said TO have been one of the first who
dissected human bodies. Tertullian
saws he dissected them alive; but Cocchi,
who published Dissertation in 1885
denies that he was guilty of this barbar.
ity. Herophilus, by an unprecedented
spirit of investigation, discovered, as
some report, the lscteals, the nerves,
with their various uses, the glands, the
pulse, etc, and gave to the different parts
of the human frame the names which
they still bear. .......
The dissection of dead bodies was, at
no very late period, looked on as a sac
rileee; and the Emperor Charles v.
ordered consultation of the theologlans
of Salamanca to determine whether, IN
point of conscience, a body might be
dissected in order to obtain knowledge
of its structure
In the month of January, l474, the
physicians and surgeons OF Paris repre-
sented to Louis XII. that several persons
of condition were afflicted with the
stone, collie, pains and stitches in the
side that it would be proper TO inspect
the parts where these disorders were
engendered that the greatest light they
could receive would be from performing
an operation on living man, and there
fore they begged that a franc archer
condemned to be hanged for robbery
who was frequently afflicted with these
complaints, should be delivered to them
Their petition was granted. >, and tint
operation, the first in lithotomy eve
made, was publicly performed IN. 81

experiment, the bowels were replaced Il

constantly hunted, the whale fishery will
probably soon be given up as a regular
branch of industry. A white whale was
captured in the Gulf of St, Lawrence in
1861, and kept on public exhibition in
a wster-tank for nearly two years. He
was ten feet long and weighed 700
pounds. During his confinement he
showed some capacity for education,
He was sufficiently well.trained to allow
himself to be harnessed to a car, in which
he drew young lady around the tank;
He learned to recognize his keeper, and
would allow himself TO be handled by
him, and at the proper time would come
and put his head out of the water to
receive the harness or take food. At
times he showed a playful disposition and
amused himself with splashing about in
the water, and at other times with toss
ing stones with his mouth. He often
took in his mouth a sturgeon and a
small shark, which were confined in the
same tank, and after playing with them
or a while allowed them to so un'
harmed. An anatomical description o.
this animal, illustrated by plates has
been contributed to the Boston Society
of Natural History.

The Secret Revealed.

Florence DE Laigne, who recently pub
lished some verses'on "Autumn" in these
columns, writes to ask, Who is respon-
sible for the typographical errors in the
Hawkeye?' Lean down here, Florence,
while we whisper in your ear "-sh !;
nobody is. The editor writes so plainly
that even blind man can spell ont his
words; the compositors are college men,
who have edited papers of their own, and
they set up the matter exactly as writ
ten, and correct what mistakes the editor
makes; the proof-reader is professor OF
rhetoric and philology in an Iowa college;
and never made a mistake 10 his lie,
and he corrects what lew mistakes the
compositors may make; the foreman Is
Gotlingen graduate, who has nothing tc
do but to see that the matter is perfect
when the forms go down. There isn't
mistake in the Hawkeye when it reaches
the press. But We'll tell you, as pro
-essional secret, Florence, how the mis-
takes creep in. The pressman told th,

A FAMOUS ANIMAL.
The Death of Dan Rice's Horse Ex-
ccIsiOr.
st. Louis Republican.

bt. Louis hcpublchn.
The oil white stallion Excelsior, once
owned by Dan Rice, the Snowman, died
recently from debility and old age. The
old horse was So years of age. He died
at Arnot's stable, after All ailment OF
only few days. About the la0t exhibit
ton made of the horse was on the stage
of one of our theaters, about two years
ago. The horse WAS levied upon for
debt by the Missouri Pacific railroad
about two months ago, and his spirit has
taken its departure under that attach,
ment.
Dan Rice, who went on to Pennsyl
vania last week, called at Arnot's stable
to see his old friend and shed tears over
him. He said that he was on his way to
Pennsylvania, and it was his intention to
send on money to redeem him and let
him die in peace, and have his form pre-
served by the taxidermist. Excelsior
was in Dan Rice's service for about
thirty years, and has been exhibited in
every city and town of note in the
United States. He has been a favorite
of millions of people, aud men in the
downfall OF lie remember his antics
when risky colt. Peace to his names
