Moll Pitcher died in 1918. at the age Of
seventy. She was originally Of Marble
head, and is said 20 have inherited the
gift Of prophecy from her grandfather,
John Dimond, who must, however, haye
lived in time when 1t was neither wise
nor ssfe to exercise powers then universal
" attributed to the Evil One. Her faith
er sailed out of Marblehead as master of
small vessel. Mary Dimond married
Robert Pitcher q shoemaker in 1850.
Mr.. Lewis, the historian of Lynn, asserts
that she was connected with some Of the
best families in Essex, that except her
fortune telling pretension, there was moth
ing disreptable in her life, and that her
descendants were living and respected
when he wrote. Her life seems rather
to mark the line which divides old and
new superstition than any decay of that in
extinguisnable craving to pry into futurity
which has distinguished the human fami-
ly in all ages. One of our native poets re-
gretful:y exclaims:
Even she, our own weird heroine,
Sole Pythoness Of ancient Lynn,
Sleeps calmly where the Lying laid her;
And the wide realm Of sOrcery,
Left by its latest mistress free,
Hath found no gray and skilled invader"

how absurd are many popular notions
in regard, to the fleetness Of thought.
how exaggerated are the terrors Of re-
morseful memory that moralists have
invented for the moment of dying.
And we may reasonably Discount"
also the stories told by men saved
from drowning, cut down before
death by hanging, or rescued from
sudden and deadly peril from other
causes. No doubt a man may think
of great multitude of experiences,
good or bad, in a few minutes; but
that the thoughts and emotions Of =
long life may surge through the mind
during the seconds Ct asphyxiation
are manifestly impossible,
Admit that the speed of mental &C
ton is abnormally rapid at such
times, say twenty-five hundred simple
cOgnitiOns a minute, or 10000 an
hour. If man were an hour in
drowning, instead of a few minutes,
and all the time be given to a mental
review of his life, he would, if forty
years old, have time to give ten
thoughts of the simplest character to
each day that he had lived. In other
words memory would have time to
review the experiences of at most the
hnndredth part of one second out of
each days waking thousands.

ONE OF THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS.

According to recent geographical
surveys it seems that the Aconcagua
Peak is the Hottest of the Andes
range, and the highest in America.
1t is 100 miles east of Valparaiso, and
nearly in latitude 800 30> south. Its
actual height is not accurately known,
but the measurements made by NJ.
Plssis and other noted scientists make
it reasonably certain that the elevation
is between %. 400 and . 300 feet above
the waters Of the sea. The French
explorer made it % AZ, or four miles
and ,302 feet over, which would be
o08 feet higher than the snowy sum.

measured the latter, when in 1862 the
the great German made his famous
ascent of that mountain with Bon

Aconcagua. seen from the Gillian
seaport of Valparaiso, is shown only
as y peak. towering above the other
heights of the Andes at distance of
loo miles or more inland, toward the
sunrise. Aconcagua has been called
an extinct volcano. but the best ex-
aminations yet made of its summit do

recent observations make the height

ceptiOn of the order Of human progress
and the conditions of human hap
piness. The hope of the future rests
not on Arcadian simplicity AN inn
possible civilization IF bare-backed
and empty handed philosophers--but
on the continued conquest OF the
materials and forces of nature, and
the widening of all mems wants. until
every possibility Of art and nature
shall be made tributary to everyday
life.
Emerson in his latest utterance.
'sThe Future Of our Republic" takes
this standpoint, and hints of the pre-
dominant part to be played by in
ventors in the great drama of the
future. In the effort to meet one
want a thousand others may be created
and satisfied; and any one of these
in the progress of civilization and the
elevation of human existence.
''Our modern needs, says Emerson,
''stand on few staples. In our war
one of these was exaggerated in inn
portance-cott0n. And what is cot
ton! One plant out of some two
hundred thousand known to botanists,
vastly the largest part of which are
reck0ned weeds! A plant whose
virtues have not yet been discovered.
Yet every one of the two hundred
thousand plants probably is yet to be
of utility in the arts, as Bacchus of
the vine. Ceres of the wheat. AS
Arkwright and Whitney were the
demigods of cotton. so in time there
will yet be an invention to every
plant. There is not a property in
nature but q mind is born to seek and
find it. There is not plant in the
whole magazine Of material nature
that cannot be made power in the
hands Of thinking men; and every new
application is equivalent to a new
material"
There isno danger that the inventor
will ever lack material or opportunity,
or that the profession will ever be
overcrowded. And we believe that,
in the long run. the common wisdom
of civilized men will never suffer
these, the highest benefactors of
their kind. to be robbed of the fruits
of their labors, or unfairly weighted
in their struggle for material recon-
penSe.

Our old doctor was very busy man.
He always endeavored to 60 to church at
least half day on Sunday. But when
in church it was no uncommon thing for
him to be called out Of meeting to attend
some one. And what sensation of sym
pathy would run through the quiet con-
gregation as the good doctor would
quietly glide down the broad aisle to
meet the serious messenger. And how
rapidly, after the service was ended
would everyone in that assembly know
lust where the doctor had been called
and lust how much the caller needed his
service.
As we today run over the old doctors
daybook, we call to mind the fact that all
the patients and the old doctor himself
sleep the sleep that knows no waking
All his skill and all his powerful drug:
could only ease their passage to the rural
graveyard now so populous and where sc
many generations of the towns people
rest under the sod. Follow through the
old book of charges the doctors connec.
ton with one and another of these depart
ed patients, and you will be surprised by
the fact that they all must have sv allowed
a vast quantity of the doctors potions
before the day came when even the conf
dent doctor would come to the conclusion
that he might just as we'll as not open the
old medicine trunk.

old patients. The messenger was the
messenger of death. In his long years
of hard work he had had many close
views of the dread messenger, and many
and many time had he argued with
him and parleyed with him in the sicl
chambers of the village when he had
come for others. This time the message

old man still stood, and thinking. prob

it was advisable to proceed at that time,
carefully turned his horses head in the
opposite direction, and was seen to 90

it would be utterly useless to proceed any

make such circuit as to forever clear
himself from any possibility of again

By this time the matter had assumed

mysterious something which is apt to
draw, where mystery really exists, and
perhaps desiring to ascertain if he really

door where he had so recently left him.
At any rate he turned down Bedford

CURIOUS TELEPHONE EXP ERIMENTs

CURIOUS TELEPHONE EXP ERIMENTS.
In note to the French academy,
NJ Brequet says that all the points of
the telephone-theh handle the binding
screws, the shell, ETC., as well as the
plate, may enable one to hear sounds.
He demonstrated this with the string
telephone. Attaching the string to
any point of the bell telephone, and
using the parchment membrane, one
may easily corresond with person
using a bell telephone. Thus, by at
taching several string telephones to a
bell telephone, several persons may
hear the messages simultaneously.
To render string telephones more
practically useful, NJ. Brequet fixes
to the cen.er of the membrane two or
several strings meeting there at an
angle. The sound carried by one Of
them is propagated by all the others.
A thread is also passed through the
centers Of membranes, which then
served as supports for long. straight
lines. A sort of relay is also fornie6
by means of a brass cylinder with two
membranes, to which strings are con-
nected, This method of extending
the string telephone has been in use in
this country for the past three years.

\ ROYAL RACE.
Amongth the fine old Aings that reign
Upon . simple wooden throne,
There's one with but small domain,
But mark you, it is all his own.
And though upon his rustic towers
No blazOned standard waves it wing,
Thick leafy banners, flushed with flowers,
From all the fragrant easement swing.
And here in royal homespun, bow
His nut-br"wn court at night and morn;
The bronzcd Field Marshal Of the Plough,
The Chancellor OF Wheat and corn.
The Keeper of the Golden Stacks,
The Mistress of the Milking pail.
The bold Knights Of the Ringing Axe,
The Heralds OF the Sounding Flail.
The Ladies of the New -mown Hay,
The Master OF the Spade and Hoe,
The Minstrels of the glorious lay
That all the Sons Of Freedom know.
And thus, while on the seasons roll,
He wins from the inspiring sod
The brawny arm and nerve of soul
That serve his country and his God.

SCIENCE
FLA1ULENr DYSPEPSIA.

At a recent meeting of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, NJ. Leven read
a paper on the gases of the stomach
and flatulent dyspepsia. He is of
opinion, says the Journal Of Chemis.
try that food does not produce gas, land
that the gases which are found in the
digestive tube proceed from the ex.
ternal air. the blood and fBcal matter.
These gases are continually put in
motion by the pathological contrac-
tons of the muscular fibers of the
intestines. Expelled by the mouth
they are constantly renewed, and their
production may be as incessant in a
starving man as in one who is well
fed. This symptom of production of
gas, therefore, signifies an irritation
of the stomach, which is always con.
secutive to a long standing gastric
dyspepsia. The progress Of the
disease and the treatment to be adOp.
ted for its cure confirm these data OF
clinical observation. There is no need
to seek for any therapeutic agent to
combat these gases.
