The Seat Of Hunger and Thirst.

Some interesting experiments have re-
Gently been made by the medical faculty of
Michigan University, in order to determine
the seat of hunger and thirst in the animal
system. A dog was chloroformed after
having been fed a hearty meal, and, while
the sculo-membraneous reservoir food
was largely distended, an incision was made
through the abdomen, oyer the large curv-
ature of the stomach, into that organ then
silver tube, quarter of an inch in diam
ater and an inch and a half long, was in
serted in the cut, the other end of which
was then corked up. The tube has half
inch flanges at both ends; the inner fange
serving to keep ths tube in place while the
outer faDge closely shuts the exterior. The
dog still lives with his stomach permanent
ly on tap; in fact, the operation in no way
affects the health of the mastif, although,
in undergoing the severe ordeal to which
he 10 now at times subjected in the interest
of science, hunger compels him to eat about
six times as much as formerly. The result
Of the experiment proves the seat of hum
ger is not in the stomach, neither is the
seat of thirst in the throat, but that they
both reside in the system at large. The
dog was permitted to eat hearty meal,
which was Immediately taken from him
via the tube. In few minuter, after re-
from his fright, he would eat an
equally large quantity of food, and so on
to any extent. Again, he is not permitted
to have anything to eat for say "a hours.
Food would then be injected into his stom-
ach through the tube. notwithstanding
his stomach was already full, the animal
would ut once gulp down more food; but,
# sufficient time was given for the injected
food to enter the system, he would then re-
fuse all that was set before him. The con-
clusions arrived at from these experiments
ind confirmation in the fact, which has
often been observed, that persons suffering
from thirst, although the parching sensation
IS apparently limited to the throat, find inn
mediate relief upon entering bath, OR even
from immersing the feet in water.

Mule and Woman.

A Eureka (Nevada) teamster is noted
for the affection he betrays for one of the
mules in his outft--the most obstinate
and mangy-lookinR animal in the string
and his tenderness for Nancy, as he calls
her, has passed into q proverb. Upon be-
ing rallied upon this pertinaeity by q chum
he discours ee as follows
TT used to have sweetheart back in
Injianny that was orfui gone on, and
this yer cussed mule has so mauy p'ints in
common that my heart just yearns over
her. She war as likely girl as ever run
bare-f footed in coin-feld, but she war too
cussed obstinate to enjoy good health.
You never knew jest how to take her.
She'd look you right smiliag in the eye,
and you'd thing there war more sugar in
her nor in New Orleans merlasses hogsit,
but if you laid hands ON her unexpected
like she'd kick the breechin' all to h-l in
less N minute That's jest the way with
thas mule. I reckon she's cost me nigh
onto $500 for harness, sayin' nothin' bout

get into place where the mud's deep and

war the very way with Nancy. The SUM

top o'that, an' war purity near ready TO

der, an then she advised me to emigrate to
Californy. hated to go 'way:it wuz
like persuadin' hungry boss TO leave a

war bound TO hev her way, an came.
That war fifteen years ago, an hadn't

Muscle VS.. Brains.

Drop stone in stock and it is a dan
gerous weapon with which to strike a mar.
lG is the stocking that hits the man-it is
the stone that hurts him. In lecture the
language hits, but it is the idea that inter-
ests you. Some of the relations between
muscle and brain are strange and complex.
There are problems difficult to solve. Given
man in the head is the restless power of
thought, in the heart the restless power of
sin. Given society-and we have merciless
wrong on the throne and innocent truth on
the scaffold. Given also sin--darkening all
homes, disturbing all hearts, desolating all
hopes, blighting all characters, digging all
graves. Given soul-how to find meek
ness without stupidity, caution without
cowardice. courage without rashness.
Given man "a felt force IN the world of
forces. To find the proper balance be-
tween muscle and brain is a problem.
There is muscle man and brain man,
and there ought to be harmony. but there
is not. Each is struggling for the ascend
ency The muscle man ON top, and he is
an ak, hoe, a spade. The brain man ON
top, and he thinks and plans, and guides,
and governs. The muscleman is doer
ne fights forces at disadvantage he sits
with the short end of the lever. The brain
man is not doer; he is an organizer,
combiner of forces. He stands in the GEN.

work. The muscle man is crude material. |
gross. The brain man is imponderable, in |
tangible, invisible. He sits by our hearts |
and makes our homes the other makes
our houses and makes our roads. One is

An Old Kentucky Duel.

a duel was fought at Soap Island, in
Bridgeport, in 1886. The participants were
Shelton and Kin2sbury. Shelton thought
it real, Kingsbury knew it to be joke.
The guns were loaded with soft soaf.
Shelton won the first fire, banged away and
dropped behind log. Kingsbury walked
up, put the muzzle of the gun against
Shelton's head and pulled the trigger.
Such a looking man was never seen. Soft
soap covered his head entirely. In the ag-
ony of despair, Shelton reached up, got a
handful of soft soap, and exclaimed ''Oh,
my poor brains, my poor brains 70 Real
izing the hoax, he sprang up and chased
Kingsbury off the island with rocks, swear
ing all the while like sailor. Shelton
afterward enlisted in Sam Houston's war
and made good soldier. Coming back
from Texas, he passed through Hardins-
vile with his gum on his shoulder. One of
his friends cried out " Halt p He did so.

his head, went through the door and drop

was unfinching in his attention to duty.

BlsxAacg,s alDDY YOUTH.
HIS FIRST MEETING WITH THE EMPEROR OF
GERMANY-eUICK WIT AND HIGH TEN
PER ..s
From the New York Times.

FrOn the New 1ofk Times.
It was while Bismarck was still young
clerk in the Berlin " Department of JUS
tice" that the present sovereign, then
Prince William of Prussia, first saw the
man who was one day to make him Empe-
ror of Germany. It happened that fel-
low clerk, also above six feet in height, was
presented along with him; and the Prince,
looking with an appreciative smile at the
two young giants, remarked pleasantly, 81
see, gentlemen, that Justice chooses her
servants by the standard of the Guard. {"
The boldness of the young Counts demean-
or, and his naughty intolei ance of anything
approaching to slight, speedily made him
conspicuous in the service. Ona may stil
hear some elderly Prussian official relate
admiringly how, when superior to whom
Bismarck was reporting, went to the win
dow and drummed on the glass with his
fingers, the latter retorted by walking to
the other window and striking up still
louder tune upon it; or how, when CURLY
asked by the same magnate, after being
kept waiting for an hour, what he wanted,
Bismarck replied "I came to ask for
leave, but now request my. dismissal" !"
On another occasion, the cool affrontery of
witness whose statement Bismarck was
taking down, provoked him to start up and
exclaim, "If you can't behave properly, I'n
kick you out of the room" "Turning a
man out of the room is my affair."" inter
posed the chief of the department. I" You
hear?" said Bismarck to the witness; eff
you don't behave properly, I'll make my
chief kick you out"
This characteristic disregard for conse-
quences was even more strikingly exhibited
few years later, when one of the habitues
of well-known beer-saloon began to speak
disrespsctfully of the reigning family. Bis
marck, who was present, at once broke in
with, "Leave the room, fellow If you're
not gone before this glass is empty, I'll
break it over your head" A Babel of out
cries instantly burst forth, but the unmov-
ed Count quietly drained his glass, and
then brought it down SO vigorously on the
offenders pate as amply to make good his
words. AS the man rolled bleeding under
the table, Bismarck leaned back in his
char and coolly inquired, Chow much for
the broken glass, waiter ?''

A RACE AFTER AN OCEAN STEAMER.-
A gentleman was left by the steamer Penn
sylvania, which sailed from. Philadelphia
last Thursday morning, and he offered a
tug captain 5000 to catch the ship and put
him on board. The attempt was made,
but failing in it he took the 0, a. m train
to Caps May, telegraphing on the way to
the Atlantic House to secure him a pilot
boat or other vesselto intercept the steamer
as she went 70 sea ort of the capes. A
crew was mustered al d one of our large
surf boats took the g, ntleman through the
breakers and set sal. for Cape Henlcpen
with favorable foo! tide and northwest
wind; the wind, how, yer, died away, when
they were twelve miles from Cape May,
and within a mile of the Pennsylvania,
which had dropped lei pilot on the take-off
boat and proceeded rapidly to sea, too far:
off to comprehend the signal of the pas
senger and his friends. His relatives were
on the steamer, and he was compelled to
return to Cape May and take SATURDAYS
