Nervousness is rarely disease in itself in

in majority OF cases. The nervous disturb

produce consequences very threatening to that
great nervous center, the brain. Hostetter's

and protects the nervous system from them.
The tremors, the unnatural anxiety, the head.

which chsrscterizes digestive irregularity and
weakness, and which are almost invariably ac-

nervousness does not proceed from the cause
designated, 1t affords most grateful relief.

The Vampire Bat.

South America also has its large bats,
of one of which everybody has heard
the vampire. Much nonsense has been
written about il, but there was some
foundation for the stories OF its sucking
the blood of men and animals until il
kills them. In the interior of South
America nearly everybody sleeps in
hammock either out-of-doors or with
the window open, and the weather is so
warm that little covering is used. The
vampire comes in on silent wings, and
finding toe exposed, gently prieks it
with his sharp tooth, and draws the
blood until he can swallow no more.
The sleeper rarely is awakened, and
does not know his loss until morning.
He may then feel weak from the flow
of blood, but / am not aware that man
was ever known to die from the cause.
Horses are very greatly troubled by
them also. Mr.. Charles Watterton, an
enthusiastic naturalist now dead, who
spent several years in New Guiana, has
told us much about this ugly bat, but
could never induce one to taste of his
toe, although he would have been very
glad to be able to say that he had been
operated upon. For eleven months he
slept alone in the loft of a deserted
wOOd-cutter's hut in the deep forest.
There the vampire came and went as
they wished He saw them come in
the moonlight on stealthy wings, and
prick the ripe bananas; lay in his ham
mock and watched them bring almost
to his bedside the green wild fruit of
the wild guava; floating down the river
on other moonlight night was struck by
the falling blossoms of the lawarri-nut
tree which the vampire pulled from the
branches to get ut the tender seed-vessel
or the insects that lurk in the deep
corollo. He lay night after night with
his bare foot exposed, but could not get
them to lance it, although his friends
and companions were all bled by this
nocturnal surgeon; and except that he
once caught one fastened to the shOul-
der of one of his animals, he came away
no wiser than when he went of how the
vampire does his hOrrid work. The
vampires measure about twenty-siX
inches across the wings; frequent old
houses and hollow trees, and repOse in
clusters, head downwards, from the
| branches offorest trees.

Amputating n Dead Mans Leg.

1t was shortly after the battle of An
tietam Surgeon Abraham LyddOn Cox
took charge of field hospital. DR.. Cox
was an elderly and somewhat eccentric
person, but he was an eminent surgeon,
a profound scholar. genial gentleman
and true patriot. At a later day, borne
down with exposure and overwork, he
died at Chattanooga, martyr upon the
altar of his country. One day in the
performance of his mournful duties,
Surgeon Cox essayed TO amputate the
mangled limb of Connecticut soldier.
He had become greatly absorbed in the
delicate task, when the medical attend
ant remarked
doctor, / think that you had better
stop the operation, the man is sinking
very rapidly"
"Well,'' replied the doctor, without
looking up, "the work is nearly over,
and might as well finish it,
Soon afterward the attendant declar-
ed doctor, the man is dying"
The doctor had then removed the
limb, and was engaged in taking up the
arteries, and he quietly remarked:
''Itis due to my profession that this
operation should be carefully compile
ted, and he calmly went on.
He had begun sewing up the stump
when the hospital steward came along
and said:
doctor, there's no use of going on ::
that man is dead"
Surgeon Cox made no reply until the
last stitch had been taken. Then gently
caressing the stump with one hand, he
removed his spectacles with the other,
and looking up, quietly said:
81 am sorry that the poor fellow is
cead, but there is one consolation about
the matter-he has gone to heaven with
clap that he may be proud Of"

4 New Industry.

\ new industry has sprung up in
Carbon county, Pa. Ii is the manufac-
ture of the oils of wintergreen, penny
roval and sassafras. The first named Is
made most. The leaves are picked on
the mountains from early Spring to the
Fail OF the year. This in itself is quite
a profitable occupation for men, women
and children. They are paid from sew
EN- and eight mills to a cent pound for
leaves, and it Is not unfrequently that
one person brings to the distillery 200
pounds day. Mr.. Kuehner has paid
as high as 81 600 a year for leaves alone,
and he has never been overstOcked with
them. The pickers make more at this
business than they could make on the
railroad or at almost any other employ
ment. The work is light, and the noun
tains are covered with the herb. At
the distillery the leaves are put in n
large still, covered with water, and
steamed. The oil soon begins to sink
to the bottom, ard after a due time is
drawn of. For this there is a ready
market in New York at 81 per pound.
This is the lowest price at which it has
ever been sold. Eighteen or twenty
years ago it brought Sl6 per pound; !;
from 1864 to 1865 it dropped to 81 and
ss per pound, and six years ago it came
down to 81. The largest quantity made
in one year was 625 pounds. IL is put
up in twenty-five pound cans, boxed
and shipped. 1t is used largely in me-
dicines, sarsapariIla, cream-beer, soaps,
toilet-waters, vermifuge etc.

The African Honey Bird.

The honey-bird is about as large as
gray mockipg-bir and is of similar
color. 1t endeavors to attract the atten-
ton of travellers, and 10 induce them
to follow il. When il succeeds thus far,
it almost invariably leads the person
who follows to nest of lid bees.
While on the route, it keeps up an in
cessant twittering, as if 10 assure its
follower of success, and ofteni alights
on the ground or a bush, and looks
back TO see if the person is still in pur-
suit. The native Africans, when con-
Quoted by the bird, frequently answer
its twittering with a whistle as they
proceed for the purpose of signifying
TO their conductO: that they are still
following it. When the bird arrives
at the hollow tree, or other place where
the honey is deposited, it hOvers over
the spot, points at the deposit with its
bill, and perches on a neighboring bush
or tree to await its share of the plunder.
This is the usual termination of the
adventure. But sometimes the honey
bird seems to be actuated by love OF
mischief, and then instead of leading
the traveller 10 Dee's nest, it conduct
him 10 the lair of some wild beast, and
then flies away with twittering which
soun.s good deal like laughter.
Gordon Cumming, ''the lion killer,
once followed honey-bird which con-
Quoted him 10 the retreat of huge
crocodile; and having introduced the
traveller to his august presence, the
little feathered joker took hasty leave,
evidently much delighted with the sue
cess of his trick.
