A Singular Medical Operation.

A correspondent of the Hartford Times
writing from Weatherfela, Conn, says:
"a rather singular medical operation,
amounting nearly to mircale, was per-
formed here few days ago. DR.. Fox
~as called to see two children near
Rocky Hill, who were laboring under
some dangerous complaint. When he
arrived he found one Of them apparently
dead, the other nearly so. After attend
ing to the living child, and giving the
necessary objections how to treat it, he
turned to examine the dead one. To all
appearance life was extict, and the poor
little one dead as a door-naiI. On this
Little subject he thought he would try an
experiment. Into kettle Of hot water
he put half a pound of mustard; and,
having soaked blanket in the water, he
spread it on the floor, laid the child on
it, and had him tightly rolled up. After
lying so for about four minutes he COM
menced to kick, and crying most pltiful-
~, let me go; I'm roasted He was
taken from this purgatorv, washed, med
ically treated and cared for. The little
fellow is now in q fair way of recovery,
thanks to the doctors experiment"

ant ulfulness came on. The wedding
on the stormy night had almost passed
from the minds OF the mini ,ter and his
wife; albeit, she would break out with 4
laugh, and ask her husband if he didn'1
think it was nearly time to splice anothe,
couple.
One day, as the happy little family were
eating their dinner, and just as the pa
rents were feeling uncommonly proud OF
some smart thing little RobbY had said
there came just such another ringing Of
the bell as that heard on the stormy night
"Well, there" said Mrs. Watson, zone
would think for all the world that thai
splice-man had come again.
Before the minister could reach the
door it was opened, and, astonishing tc
relate, there stood the identical hero Of
the wedding occasion.

this side o Canaan, that's snre. And so
thought twas time I brought along the
rest OF the fee. Whe1ll you have these
things, parson2"
The minister went to the door. and
there was the cart literally loaded with
fruit and vegetables of every description
Such store was never before brought
into that house!
ooh, don't troubleiyourself bout thank

Nothing but fair trade, you know.

This minister and his wife had but lit
tie opportunity to utter wore, their friend
was so laxative; but they would insist
upon expressing their warmest thanks to
him and ''Sary ANN for the truely gen

After the rich store had been deposited
in the house, the man took the minister
by the hand, leaving in it bill, saying
"That's my part of the fee; Thank Sary

into his wagon be drove away.
The minister unfolded the bill, and
10! its worth was twenty dollars! Mrs.
Watson clapped her hands and fairly

Ny mothers voice, soft, sweet andlow-
My mothers voice, ah! well I know
Its cadence dear.
Oft sitting, when the night-bird wings
His homeward fight, end softly sings
A plaintive song.
The memory waves her magic wand,
And summons from the silent land
Dear ones long gone.
Again stand by my mothers knee.
Again her sainted face see,
AS in dream.
Then asks my heart, with voice of tears.
For her, alas the sad, sad years
Lie dark between.

On wings of light cleave realms of time,
Come thou to me.
Il only for a little space,
That may look on thy dear face,
One moment see.
As once saw, thy tender eyes,
That know not tears in Paradise,
Grieved no more
watch for thee, o! mother dear;
listen and seem to hear
Thy songs float e'er
That lonely river, deep and wide,
Which darkly rolls its Stygian tide
From shore to shore.
Silent and deep through lonely years,
Swollen with bitter farewell tears
Forever more.

Till in that grand, immortal sphere,
Where sorrows cease,
We meet and on that loving Lreast
My weary head shall be at rest

Gun Cotton ana Nitro-Glycerlne.

About thirty-two years ago, Schon-
beia, German chemist, hal occasion to
lmmerse cotton in a mixture of concen-
tra'ed and sulphuric acids. To his sur
prise he noticed that the cotton did not
dissolve. Taking it and washing off the
acid he placed it in drying oven to dry.
On returning the next morning no cot
ton was to De seen. AS the students in
his laboratory affirmed that they had not
meddled, he wondered much as to what
had become Of it. He tried the expert
ment again, and this time had the good
fortune to witness the disappearance of
the cotton.
He had discovered gun cotton.
This is very curious substance, al
though it does not differ in appearance
from ordinary cotton. 1t is, however, a
trif1e heavier. Strange to say, the man
ner in which fire is applied to this, causes
it to burn very differently. Touch it
with live coal or lighted cigar, and it
burns away very slowly, much like the
mixtures used to produce the colored
fires of Fourth of July nights; apply a
flame to it, and it explodes like gun
powder, but if you fire it by means of a
Eliminating cap it explodes with terrific
violence, and arapidity six or seven times
greater.
But there is another substance which
explodes even more terribly still. 1t is
nitro glycerine. This is produced some
what similarly to gun cotton, with the
exception that glycerlne is used instead
OF cotton, these substances being very
much alike in chemical composition.
Nitro-glycerine is dense, oily liquid
which has very safe and hurmless ap.
pearance, but in reality is something ter
rlble. A small quantity placed upon q
hugh boulder and fired, will blow It into
a thousand pieces, whereas with our
powder the result would have been mere.

smoke.
You wonder perhaps, how 1t is thai

stone and exploded, can possibly break
it. as you think the air will give way SC
much sooner than the stone. Now the

Butchery of Mountain Trout.


The trout go up the river in schools of
thousands toward their spawning beds.
1t unimpeded in their course, they would
separate into numberless crystal line trout
brooks and deposit their spawn far up
the stream, out of the reach of sawdust or
fishermen. But just at the foot of the
Sierra Nevadas, in the State of Nevada.
close to the California line, is the Verdi
dam. This dam has been constructed to
supply a fine saw-mill with water, and
great precaution was taken to arrange a
suitable fishery at one end. The water is
made to flow over sort of apron. or
plank floor, which has such a gradual in
cline that any fish can ascend. This fish
way is further improved by means of the
rocks and earth of the river bank. There
is large pool or eddy just at the foot and
lower side OF the apron, and SO the trout
find an impossible wall at the place
where they should enter the reservoir
above the dam. Thus the fish are i'm
prisoned
Such restless impatient, strugglin priso-
ners as are these mountain trout cannot
be found elsewhere. They attempt to
leap over the main dam, only to be hurled
back by the falling water. They spring
fully five feet in the air, and strike the
main apron of the dam with terrific and
sometimes fatal force. They bruise their
bodies and heads until oftentimes they
die. They learn nothing from experience
but continue to jump against the dam
until, worn out and neverless, they
drift, completely exhausted, into the ed
dies formed by the piers of the dam.
One can watch for hours these poor des-
pcrate things in their brave struggle to
get over the dam, without having mo-
ment elapse in which some trout is not
leaping through the air and against the
dam. Generally from one to a dozen fish
are visible at the same time. 1t is grand
but pitiful sight to watch the great speck-
led beauties in their vain endeavors to
get over the Gam.
But the pltiful merges into the horri-
BILE when one sees the merciless grab
hooks let down into the struggling, quiz
ering, exhausted masses Of trout gather
ed in the eddies below the piers. By
means of the short, unyielding rod, a
succession ofquick upward jerks is given
to the four hungry points of the grab
hook. The waller is full of foam from
the cascade, and circles in binding whirl
around the pool. The fish are crazed
and blinded by. their fruit.ess, frantic
leaps, and readily drift against the sharp
needIe-.ike points of the barbed
hooks. Once impaled, the struggle be.
gins. The hook may have entered I'M.
derneath the head or the body, or it may
have pierced the side, or the fins or the
tail. At the first moment of its fright the
| startled fish darts away with fury Of
strength that is marvellous. A large fish
is almost ungovernable during the frs
frenzy Of its death struggle. The fisher
mans only plan is to LIT he trout weary
itself with Its maddened plunges anc
leaps and struggles. and then by dex
ferrous twitch land it on the pier More
| then half the time the fish makes some
terrible bounds and tears himself from
the hook, only to float with the current
torn, mangled and dying.
