NATURES REMEDy.-Peoplc who, NTH
out knowing that they were applying ma
lures remedy, have drawn in their breath
hard when they had cut finger or barked
shin on coal scuttle, viii lac pleased
to learn that they have employed respira-
tory analgesia in its simplest form. If
any man will draw breath deeply and
quickly Cor the space of three minutes or
less, he will thereby lose acute sensibility
to pain, so that he can endure minor
surgical operation without inconvenience
Eminent surgeons have found the process
of great advantage when used alone, not
only, but when anesthetics also were
employed, in which latter case the guam
tity of the drug to be used is greatly di
minished.

A JAPANESE MooNsToNE.-A new
moonstone has been discovered in Japan.
In Seki, a place trequented by travellers
on their way to lie, there is stone fig
ure of Buddha which has stood there for
ages past. 1t has ever been believed 10y
the inhabitants of the district that a
magical radiance proceeded from one of
the ears of the image, which was in con
sequence an object of devout worship.
Some native philosopher hearing of
this strange story and anxious to dis
cover its origin, made a pilgrimage to
the miraculous statue, and on closely eX-
amining the ear, found imbedded in the
lobe of it a crystal substance, which, on
further examination, turned out to be Il
diamond. On the result of the eXamina-
ton being made known, the people OF the
district became greatly excited, some
wanting to take it out and sell it, and
others protesting against such protana-
ton. Application was accordingly made
to the local authorities for guard to
prevent the stealing of the jewel, and the
precious image is now guarded night and
day.

AN EMBARRASSING QUEsTIoN.-Threc
little boys, aged, respectively, nine, ten
and eleven, were detected in placing
stones on the track of the elevated rail
road. Their motive was the "fun'-as
they called it-of seeing the train, filled
with passengers, precipitated to the pave
ment, Fortunately, though the engine
was displaced, the cars were saved by the
timber wall beside the track.
Now what to do with the little boys is
a question not easily answered. One of
them appeared to be the leader, who had
urged the others on, and he was rather
proud than cowed when arrested. In
such child there must be great deal
of innate depravity, His freedom is in
consistent with the safety of others. Yet
it would seem cruel TO shut him up for
life. "Sesd him away from all railroads. -
said some one. But where could he be
sent away from them! There are rail
roads well-nigh everywhere now.
Probably a Scholarship would be as
suitable place as any for him; yet, il
kept on Government vessel, very likely
at some future day he would be hanged
at the yardarm for mutiny. The whole
world has not really fit place for such
characters. No place is good for so bad
boy.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Wandering Jew from a Hebrew
Point of View.

The legend Of the Jew, says a Jewish
paper, ever wandering and never dying,
even from the crucixion of Jesus to the
present day, is spread over many Euro
pean countries. The accounts, however,
as in all fables, do not agree. One YER
sion is this: When Jesus was led to
death, oppressed by the weight of the
cross, he wished to rest himself near the
gate at the house of Ahasureus. This
man, however, sailed forth and thrust
him away. Jesus turned toward him,
saying:
~ shall rest, but thou shalt move on
till return"
And from that time he has had no rest,
and is obliged necessarily to wander
about. Another version is that given
by Matthew, of Paris, monk of the
thirteenth century: When Jesus was led
from the tribunal of PLATE, to death, the
doorkeeper, named Cartatlilous, pushed
him from behind with his foot, saying
"Walk on, Jesus, quickly; why dost
thou tarry?"
Jesus looked at him gravely, and
said
81 walk on, but thou shalt tarry till
come"
And this man, still alive, wanders
from place to place in constant dread Of
the wrath to come. A third legend adds
that this wandering Jew falls sick every
hundred years, but RECEIVERS and renews
his strength; hence it is that, after SO
many centuries, he does not look much
older than septaugenarian. Thus much
for the legends. No one of the ancient
authors alludes to this wanderer. The
first who reports such a thing is monk
of the thirteenth century, when, as i
known, the world was full of pious
frauds, even to disgust. However, the
story has spread far and wide, so that it
has become proverb, Gle runs like
wandering jew"

A Boston ship a few years ago was
running under close reefed topssils, and
the captain and mate were looking at the
storm from house exactly as in the
above case. A sea came on board, washed
the captain down into the cabin, wedged
the debris OF the house into the door so
he could not get out, and washed the
mate away far from all human aid. 1T

And finally, when the thing began to
