A Romance.

Malcolm Fraser once All officer IN the
Royal Sussex Artillery militia, has been
verv unfortunate in his love affairs.
While he was stationedat Lewes, he was
introduced to Miss Edith Whitfield, and
was Forthwith enamored. The courtship
was conducted in a clandestine manner,
even after the lady's brother, who is a
wealthy banker, had expressed serious
disapproval. The soldier disguised him,
self as rustic, with a smock-frock, and
by other tricks sought to communicate
with the fair one, who would never an
swer his letters. While he was carrying
on this correspondence, he was the hus-
band of an inn-keeper's daughter. Even
in his letters he admitted that he was
married, and yet asked Miss Whitfield to
run ava with him. He employed spies
to dodge her steps, and wherever she
went he was sure to follow her; and ne
used such threatening language as this:
81 call God to witness, would rather see
you dead, killed by my own hand, than
believe for one moment that you cease to
love me-" After prosecuting the young
lady for three years, he challenged her
brother to fight duel, and was then ar.
rested, and subsequently indicted.

CarbOlic Acid Cures.

The London Medical Record gives the
experience of DR.. Moritz in the use of
carbolic-acid spray in catarrhal disease of
the respiratory organs. Having much
to do with carbolic acid, and especially
the spray, he noticed that the bronchial
catarrh with which he was frequently
troubled did not occur, or that, if it
began, it was soon arrested. A colleauge
of his, DR.. Asseldelft, made the same OBJ
servation. DIR. Moritz used the spray of
a 2 per cent solution of carbolic acid.
He first tried it on two children in whom
the commencement of whooping. cough
was suspected. After the remedy had
been used two days, the slight catarrh
which was present came to stand-still,
and in few days disappeared. In sew
eral children with measles, the cough was
diminished, and the nights were more
quiet after the use of carbolic-acid spray.
In two surgical patients also, whose
lungs were in suspicious state, the cough
entirely disappeared during the frequent
use of the spray. The carbolic acid does
not act as cauterant, for dilution pro
duces beneficial action, and it is not
demonstrated that it exerts any chemical
action on the false membrane, as some
have thought. 1t appears most reasona'

The Female Arm.

Sir Isaac Newton long ago propounded
theory which, in spite of its fallacy,
has had many adherents. He insisted
that the anatomy of the female arm is
such that it is impossible for agirl to move
her arms in the plane of her waistband.
Without dwelling on the fact that he
unwarrantably assumed the existence of
female Wristbands, it is sufficient to say
that facts conclusively contradict his as
sertion. Several scientific persons have
since demonstrated by simple and
pleasing experiment tbata girl can move
her arms in almost any plane. Professor
Faraday took girl of the usual pattern:
and a young man selected almost at ran
dom from his class on the "Theory and
Practice of Stone throwing" He placed
the young man on the floor of his lecture
room with the girl Immediately in front
of him. The lights were turned down
for a few moments in order to favor
chemical action, and on suddenly turn
ing them up again the girls arms were
found to be tightly clasped around the
young man il the plane Of his waist
band, although at a somewhat greater
altitude. 1t is impossible to break the
force of this experiment. 1t conclu-
sively shows that the female arm can
move in the very direction in which Sir
Isaac Newton asserted that it could not
move. The same experiment has been
often repeated, and always with the
same result. Any young man who can
command the cooperation of girl can
repeat it for his own satisfaction, and it
might be added that it is universally
agreed that it is one of the most thor
oughly satisfactory experiments known
to science. We need, then, pay no fur
Their attention to Newton's hypothesis
since it has been completely disproved
and is now held by no one who has ever
moderate acquaintance with SCIENCE

Osay, have you heard of the sing-away bird,
That sings where the Runaway River
Runs down with its rlls from the bald -hcaded
hills
That stand in the sunshine and shiver?
90 sing! sng-away? sing-awayl"
How the pines and the birches are stirred
By the rill Of the sng-away bird!
And the bald-headed hills, with their rocks and
their rils,
To the tune of his rapture are ringing,
And their faces grow Young all their gray mists
among,
While the forests break forth into singing.
80 sing! sing-away! sing-awayi"
And the river runs singing along;
And the flying winds catch up the song.
1t was nothing hat-hush! 3 wild white-throatcd
thrush,
That emplied his musical culver
What charm and aspell over valley and dell
On the banks OF the Runaway River.
I" sing! sing-away! sing-away!"
Yet the song of the wild singer had
The sound of a soul that is glad.
And beneath TIE glad sun, may slad-heartcd
one
Set the world to the tune of his gladness.
The rivers shall sing it, the breezes shall wing it,
Till life shall forget its long sadness.
go sing! sing-away! sipg-away!"
Sing, spirit, who knowest joys Giver,-
Sing on, by times Runaway River

a Visit to n London Dog Show.
LAURA SKEE POMEROY.

The bloodhounds were the tiercest and
most sullen looking of all. They did
not join in the general barking and up
roar, but kept their heads buried in the
straw. Once, as we were watching them,
away off in a remote end of the room,
an acrobat began his performance of
walking on a rope and jumping through
rings, high up in the air Then these
hounds suddenly lifted themselves erect,
and fixing their sharp eyes on that little
red and blue speck of man suspended
in the air, set up long, unearthly howl,
which all the other dogs took up and
for few minutes the sounds shook the
whole palace, like the roar of all the
wild beasts Of the forest.
BY and by four O clock came, and the
owners of the dogs came in to take them
home. How glad they were to see them.
They jumped up, rolled about, licked
their keepers hands and faces, whining
and yelping for joy. One dog, who had
not been sent for, was jealous to see his
neighbor petted. He growled at every
owing caress, and sat snarling in a cor
ner, discontinued and sour, till he saw
his own master, when he broke into a
howl of intense delight and tugged furi-
ously at his chain.
When the big hampers were brought
to confne the dangerous ones, and the
collars and chains were being unfastened,
what a rollicking, rushing time it was!
The glad creatures jumped and galloped
all the way to the station.
The train was full of dogs-they were
everywhere. Eager to be off, they were
hurrying up and down the platform,
dancing about the ticket offices, racing
over trunks, for all the world like boys
let out of boarding school going home
for the holidays.
We saw their impatient faces pushing
out of every car-window, their tails wag
ging out Of every door.
A gentleman in our carriage had two
little mites of terriers in his overcoat
pockets. One, he said, was Skye, and
the other. a Yorkshire, ferries. Little
Skye was tired and sleepy, and showed
Just the tip of his nose and one ear above
the pocket; but little Yorkshire was
perfectly wild with fun. He had Gil q
small brown blanket, bound with scarlet
braid, which his master said was his new
Ulster coat.
He began his pranks by putting his
nose in Charley's pockets, hunting for a
shilling. Not finding one, the gentle
man sent him into his own coat pocket,
whence after burrowing and tugging for
q while, ont he came, with coin be-
tween his teeth, which he held tight and
would not give up. His master said that
when the dog found piece of money he
went alone to the cake shop and the
baker would give him cake, which he
would run home with and eat up imme
diately, being particularly fond of sweets
He was two years and half old, ter
inches long, with yellowish hair, which
hung in fringe over his mischievou'
black eyes, He was as elastic as ball o.
wool, and looked very much like one.
But we had to part company with hin
at Kings Cross Station, where his owne]
put him in his pocket again, and bad'
us goodbye. We could see the tip o
the little tail wagging till we lost sigh
of him in the crOwd.-St. Nicholas.

Some Wholesome Advice,

Nothing can me more piteous than
beauty who is so well satisfied with her.
sell rs to neglect the art of being grace
ful. Do not try to be stately if nature
made you a little creature, whose true
dignity consists In coquettish implicitly
or II you have the stature of Juno, be-
ware of making yourself ridiculous by
flirting or trying to tiirt with the action
and gesture of a French grisette. The
best grace is perfect naturalness. Still
you must study yourself, and form your
manners by the rule of that art, which
is but a carrying out the law of nature.
But if it is your nature to be forever
assuming some unpicturesque, ungrace-
full attitude, pray help out nature with a
little art. Study pictures. Be careful
to take those positions which picture
painters delight to give their goddesses,
nympths, queens, and ideal portraits of
poetic and historic women of beauty. If
you are stout, avoid the smallest chair in
the room; and be sure, if you do sit on
it, not to lean back in it with your hands
folded in front of you, just below the
line Of your waist, especially while the
present fashion lasts. If you are thin,
do not carry yourself with your chin
protruding and your spinal column
curved like the bowl of spoon. Do not
wear tlimsy materials made up without
a ruffle or puff of founce to fill up the
hard outlines of your bad figure, so
cruelty defined by the tightly pulled
back draperies. But, as it is easier as
we'll as more important to tell you what
not to do than to lay down rules for
what you shall do to be more beautiful
and and attractive than careless women
ever are, we will will endeavor to sum-
Marie a few hints for your guidance:
Do not throw yourself into unpic-
turesque positions.
Do not permit yourself to be called by
a ridiculous nickname expressive of your
peculiar defects,
DO not brand your plain daughter with
a nickname which may cling to her like
a disfiguring garment through life.
Avoid disputes.
Avoid the society Of sarcastic and crit
icai persons,
Avoid mannish manners.
DO not wear masculine looking gar
ments.
Do not stride like a man in your walk.
DO not mince your steps.
DO not place your arms aklmbo.
If your hands are large and red, do not
wear rings.
If you have red hair, do not be
ashamed Of it. Remember it was the
hair that some of the greatest painters
loved to paint.
If you are fat, don't loll on the tables
and chairs.
Don'tavoid society.
Do not be afraid to show a proper de-
gree of dignifcd resentment at an atfront
for fear you will be called il!-tempered.
Don't be sulky and resent injuries for
ever; implacability Injuries beauty more
than any other bad passion.
Do not romp; hoydens are never at
tractive though they be amusing.
If you have fine teeth, do not laugh
and grin to show them.
If you have fine eyes, do not roll them.
Never indulge in horse laugh.
Don't be sloyenly; don't be prim.
Avoid indulgence of bad passions Of
every kind.
Cultivate cheerfulness.
Take care of your health.

Taking u Husband "OHt ShOpping.' -

Car there be, in the whole civilized
world, sight more really and aitectingly

husband entering store after his better

diant with delight at the thoughts of the

inc a mental calculation as to the num-
Der of yards she can edo with for the

let her have that $3.50. He, hiding his
face and trying to escape recognition,

painfully feeble manner that he "will
not run to more than so and so" and in

making him make such a COMPOUNDED
show of himself" Then, as they walk
up the long emporium, in vain does he
try to appear at his ease, and return the
steady gaze Of the fifty gentlemen be-
hind the counters, all of whom stare
hard at him as if he were an object of
the greatest curiosity, and perceptibly
wink, as much as to say, "What lark'
And then, as he sits in tidgety agony
on rickety cane chair, trying hard to
look as if money was no object to him
as if he rather liked his position than
otherwise-oh, then, | say "what an
afternoon he does have! But when,
at last those beautifully soothing words,
Nothing else to-day, thank YOU" fall
on his eager ears, then, as he bounds
gayly from his hard,bottomed chair,
does he present a truly touching tab
leau, by the side Of which that of " The
Liberated Slave" is nowhere.

Something to Ring Bells For.

The Rev. DR.. Day, i'll a recent sermon
at Plainfeld, N. j., told this simple
story: In town not far distant, few
years since, two Christian young men,
brothers, were doing a prosperous bust
ness, assisting many noble enterprises,
and each living in comfortable home.
A combination of disasters suddenly rem
dered them insolvent. What did they
do? They did not consult the law to see
how much of their property might be
kept from their creditors, but at once
surrendered to them their homes, fac
tories, assets, all; and promised, if pos
sible, the balance should yet be paid to
each creditor in full. Resuming bust
ness, poor in means, but strong in char
acter, living in cottages in which their
noble wives did the homework, until by
economy and industry the last dollar of
the old Indebtedness was paid with in
terest. The day on which this was COM
pleted, the bells of the churches were
rung in honor, and the whole town join
ed in the expression of grateful joy-a
triumph of character such as the bells
of any church might celebrate, and any
community delight to honor.

He is a Great Man Now.

Mr.. Edison, as a young telegraph ope-
rator at Memphis, was known for the
quaint drawings with which, in odd leis-
ure moments, he ILLUSTRATED the southern
press reports. One habit was to convert
the tails of his g's and US into faces,
with the most ludicrous expressions i'm
aginable Another habit was to draw a
railroad curve around hill, with train
of cars at full speed; on the first car was
T, on the second Y, and so on until
Tyler, the signature to the report, was
spelled out, and the last car, barely per-
ceptible around the curve, was $50" or
fms. This continued for some time, UNI
til Memphis editor published para

of the sketches, but Directing to them
on the ground that the printers took up
too much time in admiring them, and

sent them. This was the Tie last Of the ak
