The Bamboo in AMMAN.

This Eastern kingdom possesses i'm
mense forests, which contain many sorts
of trees capable Of supplying the most
valuable wood. The vegetable produc-
ton most esteemed by the poor and op-
pressed people is unq%uestionably the
bamboo. Every house and village, from
the seashore to the mountains, is fur
nished with it's belt of this reed, and, to
Judge from the manifold usages to which
it is applied, they have by no means a
superabundance. The young shoots are
eaten as q vegetable; the natives make
of it paper, string, and cord, trellis-work,
textile fabrics for dress and all other do
nestle purposes, baskets, maps and par
titions; they construct of it boats, and
utensils for cooking which will stand
fire, pipes, and pipe.stems; boxes and
Golfers lacquered, Of great solidity and
very elegant; they form their hats OF 1t,
and the best arms of the country are
bamboo clubs; its horns and thick
hedge are the strongest defenses OF the
dwellings, ard portions of it are sharp
ened end driven into the ground IN front
of the fortresses to form ~stockades, n
every soldier on service is bound to be
furnished with a certain provision OF
such pieces; sonorous instruments are
made from it for signals, as well as
bridges to Cross torrents, and finally
houses arc built with it. From the above
enumeration some idea may be formed
of the quantity required by a popula-
ton numbering between thirty and forty
millions.

be fed to them dry, or it may be scalded
to advantage, before feeding. It should
be given to the fowls fresh, however =;
as, if mixed with water or any other
meal, it quickly grows sour, if not used.
There are other advantages in feeding
it in this shape-as compared with the
use of whole corn-and these are that in
the broken state it is taken up much
more easily than are the whole kernels,
and when eaten, it digests o readily,
while the process of devouring a given
quantity is slower, and the birds, if
never so hungry, can not "gobble it
down" in bulk, as they incline to rush
at the whole seeds. But too much care
cannot be taken to provide of this article
only what is eaten up clean at O feeding
as after it lies upon the ground, or
has become wet, it becomes unpalatable
and unsavory, both.
To Clean q Cnrpet.
This must be an excellent way to clean
a carpet. Try it. First, have it thor
oughly busted and the floor we'll cleaned.
Then tack down the carpet es you want
it take a half-pail of water, hot as can
be borne !; put in a tablespoonful of
ammonia. Have o stiff scrubbing brush
and borax soap, and scrub small place;
have a second pail of water and ammonia
rinse off with this, and, with a WOODEN
cloth, wipe as dry as possible. Renew
the water often, until the whole carpet
is cleansed. Then open the doors and
windows to dry it. This removes the
grease stains and brightens the carpet.
Another and less troublesome way to
clean a carpet is, to sprinkle salt over
the surface, after it is tackled down, and
thoroughly sweep. But the grease
spots are not removed by this process.
The carpet, however, is made to look
very clean and bright.

A Girl Unconscious and Without Food
for Over q Year.

The Buffalo IN. ~ Courier tells,
with entire seriousness, of a very re-
markable case of nervous affection in
that city. The facts, as it states them,
are that the twelve-year-old daughter of
a MI. and Mrs. Wagemann lies in an
unconscious state in their house. and
has SO lain for overs year, during which
time she has taken no food. The details,
given reluctantly by the parents, who
will not "gratify the morbidly curious"
by letting them see the girl, are given by
the Courier as follows: "The parents
stated that the little girl had been ex-
tremely studious, and had exhibited
marked piety in her intercourse with
those about her. More than year ago last
January she complained of great pain
in the back of her head and neck. This
was followed by the gradual loss Of the
use of her limbs. For three hours each
day, during a period of six weeks at that
time, she lay in trance, and upon COM
ing out of it, would talk of the beauti-
full land she had been to and the supreme
happiness she had enjoyed. A physician
was called in to attend her when the
first symptoms were manifested, but
after she began to have her subsequent
experience, she refused to take any med
icine. The doctor soon after came to
the conclusion that he could do nothing
for her in any event. In January, 1877,
she one day became unconscious, and
has remained 30 ever since. It is q yeaI
ago since a particle of nourishment has
been administered to her, with tho ex-
ception of water, ice or ice cream. Three
months since she began to be affected
with what may be termed spasms, al
though there is no evidence of pain or
suffering when they occur. They come
on every alternate hour and last just IN
hour. At first they were very strong,
but Of late have grown milder every day.
When in this particular condition she
rocks that portion of her body extending
from the top of her head to the waist,
from side to side of the lounge upon
which she sits. The motion can be best
understood when it is described as re-
minding one of the action of a pendu-
lum when in motion. When passive
both hands lie carelessly upon her
breast; when the spasm is on they are
held up. AS she rocks to the left, the
left hand is carried to the forehead and
the right falls upon her breast. In her
reverse motion the left hand is carried
wei upon the right, and in every in
stance the hands fall unfailingly upon
the same spot, mover varying o particle.
Her body is usually very cold, but dur
ing the spasms it becomes clammy and
feels like that of q dead person. The
little girl (adds the reporter who saw
herr is very pretty and when lying quiet
presents an interesting appearance
looking like a beautiful child enjoying a
peaceful slumber, with the exception
that the respirations are not as marked"

A Snakes Tongue.

The popularity of form and position
in the tongue of a snake lead to the use
of the word "exsertion in speaking of
that organ. Being, when at rest, en-
closed within a sheath, the tongue can
not move within the mouth, like the
tongues of animals, but only when
thrust forth or exserted. OF quadrupeds
onemieht affirm Though the expression
would be rather s~trained), that they
"exert" their tongues when putting
forth their power, say to remove food
from the teeth, or to lick the palate ;
both actions being possible within a
closed mouth. But a snake cannot do
either of these things. With the reptile
to "exert " is also to exsert the tongue,
for it's motion can be but in one direc'
tion-viz., forward and beyond the
mouth. A slight chink in the upper lip
gives egress to this long, thin, and
highly sensitive organ, while the mouth
can remain closed. Thus exserted, the
tongue appears to be constantly en-
gagged, like the antennm Of insects, in ex'
ploring and Investigating. No other
word conveys the idea of the tongues
motion and direction like exsertion- the
opposite to insertion while exertion
(the opposite to inertion) may be ap-
piled to activity, which does not neces.
sarily imply e1sertion Or thrusting forth.
The two words have sometimes been
COMPOUNDED.

Cat and Dog.

aEThe London Spectator publishes
another incident indicating puss from
her reputed selfshness and insensibility.
In a certain family a Manx cat and a
fox terrier were on terms of affectionate
intercourse. The dog, as pet dogs are,
was constantly coddled by bis mistress,
and prone to complain like a spoiled
child. On one occasion, being on the lap
of his mistress, the dog peevishly whined,
perhaps because his cake was not but
tered. Puss heard, and with every
evidence of sympathy, climbed up and,
putting her arms (legs?) round Foxy's
neck, kissed him or the cheek twice.
It was not till after the second kiss that
the dog responded by clicking her back
in the tendcrest manner conceivable.
So puss, in the matter of categorical
demonstration, was superior to the
logged Indifference of the terrier.

King and Miller.

Arnold, a miller of Pomerania, had a
lawsuit with a nobleman about a stream
of water, which Arnold alleged had been
unjustly diverted from his mill. This
lawsuit he lost, and petitioned Freder-
lex the Great, alleging that Justice had
not been done him. The king ordered
the case to be RENTED to the second
court, where the chancellor and three
Judges sat. He in the meantime order
cd inquiries to be made upon the spot,
and was informed that Arnold was the
injured party. But the miller was no
more successful in his appeal than in
the original trial. Upon this being in
timated to the king, he sent for the
chancellor and judges, and, without al
lowing them to vindicate themselves,
called them rascals and perverters of che
law. He took a pen, and with his left
hand (for he had the govt in his right
wrote a sentence that condemned the
nonleman to restore the water to its
former course; to pay all the costs of
the two lawsuits; and lastly, to pay
such q sum to the miller as should make
him PREPARATION for the injury he and
his family had sustained. When he had
finished, he turned vito fury to the
chancellor, whom he dismissed from his
service, and ordered the three judges to
prison, kicking them all with VIC
lent indignation out of the DON 1t
turned ont subsequently that Arnold
was a mar Of the worst character, and
had entirely imposed upon the king.
The nobleman was quite innocent of the
charge of farming the water-course, since
his lands were farther down the stream
than Arnold's mill. Thus Frederick, in
his violent and summary interference,
perpetrated the g%rossest injustice, even
where his intentions were good. Fred
erick was both blamed and ridiculed on
account of this transaction, though he
never would consent to reverse the pro-
ceedings, exhibiting his usual obstina-
cy ever in the commission of injustice.
His nephew, however, upon his access
sion to the throne, ordered strict justice
to be done between the parties, and thus
this extraordinary affur was brought to
O close.

The Art Of Prolonging Life.

People generally desire long fife and good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations Of the laws
that govern our physical being, and Of which
the masses are ignorant. II men knew better
they would do better; but how can they avoid
an evil that they know not Of? While efforts
are made through the public schools to
give each child q so-called common English
education, yet the children are permitted TO
grow up and enter upon the responsible duties
Of active life, profoundly ignorant Of the
structure Of their own bodies, and the laws Of
physical being upon which their health and
lives depend. They are sent to school and
crammed with arithmetic, grammar and geo.
graphy, by teachers who, in many instances,
have never studied physiology and hygiene.
They are taught to locate the mountains and
trace the rivers Of foreign countries, but are
never taught to locate the vital organs and
glands Of their WI bodies, or trace the veins,
arteries, and nerves in their various ranifca.
tons. They are instructed in the flow Of the
tides, and the course Of the ocean currents, and
the PHILOSOPHY Of winds and storms; but they
have no correct conception Of the relative eff
fects upon their health of breathing pure or
impure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the importance Of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing.
The criminality Of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that
the masses, ignorantly violating the laws Of
health, bring upon themselves sickness, SUI
fering and death, that might otherwise be
avoided. In this condition Of things We wei
come into being any work that is calculated to
impart to the masses . knowledge Of the struc-
ture of their own bodies, the laws Of health,
and the Importance Of observing those laws.
We find DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser to be just such a work. It is physio.
logical and pathological, and the major part
of it should be converted into a text book for
the use OF common schools. Its careful study
will enable the healthy to preserve,their health,
and the sickly to regain health. Every
parent should read it, and as their children be.
come Of proper age, instruct them In the all
important truths it contains. We're this done

Rachelor,aTnins IL TeIegraph.

The telegraph sometimes makes very
amusing mistakes. Sir Arthur Kenne-
dy is the governor of the British Colony
of Queensland. The other day the
London papers contained q telegram
announcing that "Lady Kennedy had
given birth to twins, the eldest being .
son." Subsequently somebody remem-
bered that the governor is a bachelor,
and that there is, therefore, no such
person as Lady Kennedy. An explana-
ton was demanded Of the Reuter- News
Company, who produced the original
telegram, in these words: Governor
of Observation-Disclosures, first son." This
shedding no light upon the matter, in
quiry was made, with the result that the
original dispatch was found to be:
"Governor of Queensland turns first
sod," abiding so the beginning OF a new
railway in the colony.
