The Anti-AGonoPollst.

he never drank anything, and belonged to
neither lodge nor club. He always spent
his evenings at home, and Mrs. Valentine is
prepared to swear that she never saw him
read newspaper at the breakfast table, and
that in fact on the only occasion on which she
ever knew him to look at any newspaper he
was looking at the list of deaths and marriages.
Who can tell what anguish this wretch's un-
manly conduct inflicted upon his innocent
wife! One day she went, in desperation, to
her pastor and begged him to call her a
I" FOOL explaining that as he was
minister he could, of course, use the express
sion IN purely theological and innocent
way. When the Mortified pastor asked her
why she had made such request, she con-
fessed, with the tears streaming from her
eyes, that She was neglected wife, and
that her husband never spoke to her as men
ought to speak to their wives, and that she
should die unless she could hear some one
use toward her the language to which good
and true wife is entitled. This incident tells
more plainly than dozen large octave vol
umes, bound in half calf, with gilt edges,
could tell, the depth of misery into which
the miserable woman had fallen.
The day, however, came, when she learned
from MIR. Valentines own lips that he was
an lmpOstor. He told her all. He said that
ne was woman, and that though his dis
gulse had SO far protected him, the hounds
OF justice were now on his track, and he
must flee. The outraged wife, stunned by
learning the unexpected but horrible nature
of the mystery which had surrounded her
husband, scratched his face with sublime
fury and went home to her father, where,
ike an early Christian martyr, she now
bears her sorrows with patience and resig-
nation, waiting for a judicial decree assert
ing the nullity of her marriage, and the ar
rival of new husband of an Enthusiastically
genuine character.

others. Like all DULLES, they were

towards.
For moment they hesitated, as if un-
certain whether to take the German by
storm or to take to their heels. A sting
ing bullet in the leaders arm decided the
Cay in favor Of Y akob.
They fired back scattering shots as
they retreated, but did not face the de-
termined Dutchman again. I saw him
totter as the last man fired. but he recov-
cred himself, and stood delivering his
deadly shots with the same stolidity and
regularity with which he hammered in a
hean-pole.
With oaths and yells. the men hurried
down the road.
We ran out. Yakob lay on the floor
white and CHASTITY. My mother raised
his head.
"He is dying?' she said.
"Why did he throw his life away tor
the old shantye" cried Sue, impatiently."
Yakob shook his hea1e 'Not de house
The same thought came to us both. We
pushed the door open. On the bed lay a
pallid skeleton Of man,-our brave
handsome Charley!
For more than a month Yakob had
hidden him there, afraid to trust even
his mother with the secret.
II the faithful German had died for his
friend, it would have been but one OF
many such sacrifices which the testime
brought from men.
But Charley lived. and is now sturdy
farmer on the Shenandoah. Yakob is his
steward and partner, known to all the
countryside as The ugliest, shrewdest,
most honest man in the valley.

SCIENCE
CRANlOLOCY AND CRIME.

The British Medical Journal pre-
sents, at some length, the results
arrived at by Professor Benedict. in
his examination of the brains of six
teen criminals. These, on comparison
with the healthy brain, proved to be
abnormal. Not only too, has he found
that these brains deviate from the
normal type, and approach that Of
lower animals, but he has been able
to classify them in three categories.
First, absence ofsymmetry in the two
halves of the brain; second, an obi
guilty of the interior part of the brain
or skull; third, distinct lessening of
the pOSteriOr cerebral lObeS.

HOW AMERICA CROWDS ENGLAND.

In giving his impressions of Ameri-
can in a leading English periodical, a
recent English visitor remarks that
the kussO-Turkish war ought to have
shown the American manufacturers
that they have little reason to fear
the English. So far as he had been
able to learn not a single cartridge
had been made in Birmingham for
either Russia or Turkey; but when he
was in Bridgeport, the cartridge
factories had been running day and
night for months, and he saw a Russia
and Turkish commissioner in the
same works. The fact was the
Americans had made the rifles as well
as the cartridges for both combatants.
AS further evidence Of the threatened
supremacy of American manufac-
turers he noted the fact that Lowell
was sending cotton cloths to Man
chester, and that in our retail stores
cotton goods were marked at lower
price than that at which goods Of the
same quality could be sold at Liver
pool or London. ''It is the same,' he
said, ''with the other manufacturing
industries of America. The manu-
facturers of hardware are beating us
in market after market from Ham
burg to Melbourne. In Birmingham
itself the merchants are importing
from the United States such articles
as axes, hay forks, and agricultural
implements of nearly everv descrip-
ton. sash pulleys, and small castings
Of very many kinds, although it is
estimated that freight and other ex-
penses add II per cent to the cost of
the goods

PHYSIOLOGICAL TREATMENT or slut.
TERiNC.

Very great success is reported as
attending the treatment of suffering
by purely physiological training, &C.
cording to the system of NJ. Chervin,
Of Paris. Three types Of suffering
are distinguished: First, that oc-
curing during inspirations; second,
suffering during expiration; third
suffering during both these periods.
and between breaths. The treatment
is divided into three stages. The
first involves various respiratory
exercises, during which the pupil is
first taught to make long full inspira-
ton and follow it by regular forcibly
expiration. Then the respiratory
movements are made with various
rhythms until they become full
regular, and easy, instead Of being
jerky. labored, and fatiguing. In
the second stage of treatment, exeT.
cises with vowel sounds are substitu-
ted for the previous mute breathings,
giving to each vowel the various mod
ifications of tone, pitch, duration, etc.,
heard in conversation. The third
stage comprises exercises on con-
sonants, alone and in combination
with vowels: at first slowly, then
rapidly. varying the duration and
pitch of each syllable, and passing
from words of one syllable to those OF
two and more. Prepared by these
the pupil learns to articulate
slowly and methodically short SEN
fences, then longer periods and para
graphs, separating sentences and
always beginning with . deep inspira-
tion- Twenty days Of this treatment
usually sufices for perfect cure.

HEARING THROUGH THE TEETH.

1t is not every man who can hear
with his teeth better than with his,
ears, bnt there are two or three
employees of the water works who can
tell whether water is passing through
a pipe by resting the teeth OH a
stopcock and stopping both ears with
the fingers. The operation was per-
formed recently in front Of the Mas
sasoit House, where pipe was sup
posed to be INSTRUCTED. In this case
the workman held one end of small
metal rod in his teeth, allowed the
other end to touch the top Of the
stopcock, covered both ears, and
quickly said, Il hear small quantity
of water passing through the pipe. =

the other. Opening his mouth as
usual, he slid the sword right down
into the gsophagus. Standing on
tiptoe, looked into his mouth, and
there could see plainly the sword in
the pharynx; but where was the other
end of it, It must be somewhere in
the abdomen. My friend, DR.. Priest.
ley, who has, of all medical men in
London, the most delicate power Of
touch, very quickly discovered the
other end of the sword far away down
In the body, a hard, metallic point
plainly to be felt. Here, then, was no
doubt proof that the sword was
actually swallowed.
Having consulted together, we
agreed that the anatomical explana
ton OF the facts was very difficult
My own opinion, in which my friend.
DR.. Priestly, and other gentlemen
agreed, is that the sword descending
takes with it pouch of the stomach,
if not the whole organ itself. This
may be illustrated if the reader will
oppose the tips of the thumb and first
finger of the left hand, then take
pocket handkerchief and lay it loosely
over the ring formed by the fingers;
next take pencil or walking stick,
and press the pocket handkerchief
downwards; this will give model Of
what believe is the secret Of Mr..
Benedetti's performance.
For fourteen years he has been
swallowing swords of more or less
length and dimensions. The stomach
has by this time quite accustomed
itself to the reception of swords, and
to be elongated downwards into a long,
narrow pouch Since then Mr.. Bene-
detti has been the victim of an acct
dent which might have been very
serious in it's consequences. He was
going through his usual performance
with his musket and bayonet at the
Canterbury Hall, swinging it round,
as usual, the bayonet itself being in
the gullet. In the middle of his
circumvolutiOns, the musket fell to
the floor with a crash Terrible to
think, the baynot had just at that very
moment snapped in half; the musket
lay on the floor with the socket of
the bayonet still attached to it; the
bayOnet itself was Of course out of
sight, sheathed in the living esopha-
gus. With the greatest presence Of
mind. and without a moments delay,
Benedetti put his face and arms
towards the floor while his servants
lifted his legs up in the air. Provi-
dentially there was no hitch. The
bayonet by his own weight immedi-
ately slid dOwnwards, just as sword
would fall out of its sheath by it's own
weight. Benedict was fortunately
able to catch it with his fingers the
instant it reached the base of the
tongue, and pull it out.

THE EARTHQUAKES OF FIFTEEN
CENTURIES.

Minister Bingham has sent from
Japan very interesting paper by a
native savant on the earthquakes that
have occurred in that country during
the past fifteen hundred years. The
number Of destructive earthquakes
recorded is l49. The ninth century
was most prolific in these, reaching
%; in the fifteenth century there were
Is; the same in the seventeenth; 13 in
the 18th; and l6 in the present centu-
ry. The recorded average is one
great earthquake every ten years. but
the nineteenth century gives one ev-
cry five years. Unusually high tenn
perature and strange atmospheric
changes have been noticed as precur-
sors of great commissions, especially
in the earthquake which desolated the
city Of Yeddo in 1855.

TWO REMARKABLE ACCIDENTS.

In the tranactions of the medical
society of New Jersey, for 1877, DIR.
Ryerson reports the case of child
which lived four weeks with over an
inch of No. sewing needle in the
heart. Search for the needle before
death was unsuccessful. At the au-
topsy it was found to have passed
partially through the cartilage IF the
fourth rib, into the wall of the right
ventricle. Pus welled up through the
perforated cartilage, and loose in an
abscess holding an ounce or more of
pus. in the muscular substance, lay
the needle. 1t was supposed that un-
til loosened by suppuration the brok-
en- end of the needle remained fixed
in the rib, thus pinning the heart to
the chest wall.
A still more remarkable accident,
with recovery, is reported in the
transactions of the medical society Of
Pennsylvania, for the same year. In
this case boy of fourteen was i'm
paled on the end of a carriage shaft,
the point of the shaft entering one
inch below the left nipple and coming
out at the back. The victim was
swung three times into the air by the
rearing of the horses, then pushed
himself off, and walked home with
some assistance. No cough or hem
optysis followed and apparently little
shock. Effusion into the pleura oc-
Cured with discharge of pus, front
and back. This gradually lessened,
and finally both wounds closed. the

So have you; we have both fed as we'll
