Petroleum as a Medlcine.

In Paris, at one establishment where
petroleum oil was manipulated, it was
observed that any workman entering
the factory with bronchial or pulmonary
affections speedily lost all traces of their
complaints. From breathing an atmos-
phere impregnated with petroleum to
taking actual doses of it, was an obvious
and easy step; and the proprietor Of the
factory in question soon began to pre-
scribe for patients suffering from bad
coughs, influenza or asthma. These
primitive applications of the new remedy
were affected by merely swallowing the
common oil in a small teaspoonful at a
time, but the more learned and expert
enced gentlemen who afterward took up
the matter, soon substituted more civil
lied and more agreeable means of adj
ministering it. They enclose the oil,
which in its natural state has not exact
" an attractive odor, in capsules made
of geatine, which do not dissolve until
some time after they are taken, when
the digestive organs are able to dissolve
the oil without any chance of taste
being left in the mouth. These pills,
called "Gabian oil' capsules, may posi-
bly, ere long become as great nui-
sance in the way of advertisements, as
the tar pills now offered to the French
public. Boston Courier

Personale of Preachers.

\ New York letter 10 the Boston
Journal has the following; The differ
ent denominations, congregations and
ministers can be as easily distinguished
as regiments in division can be. No
two denominations look alike. Going
10y a church that is out, in the morning,
any one familiar with New York can
tell the denomination by looking at the
people The Episcopalans are dressy,
radiant in gay ribbons, flowers and Jew
elry. The Presbyterians are equally
rich i'll their costumes, but less CAV.
Their style Of dressing for church is sober
and subdueL. \ congregation of these
people resembles the English worship
pcrs. There is an unmistakable differ
ence between the Congregationalist and
Presbyterians, Vet the general outlook
and social life are the same There
is II Western look about Methodist
congregation. However rich the garni-
ture. Il Methodist congregation can ne
distinguished as well as if It were black.
The Baptists are not fashionable They
have a comfortable look, like well to do
shopkeepers and MASTER mechanics.
There is an equal difference in the style
of the preaching. The sermons of the
Episcopalians are short, rhetorical, dis
cursive. The Presbyterians give their
people most thought The Methodists
are gushing. The Baptists are exhorta-
tory. The outside sects, and they are
legion, are fond of delivering SER
mons about Sodom and Gomorrah, and
the horns and beasts IN Revelations. A
young man III one of our colleges ex-
pressed preference for the ministry.

Drawing a Grove.

Yesterday Il man stepped out IN the
street in front OF the -- Hotel, and
began to look up at one Of the fourth
story windows with an opera glass A
man coming out of the hotel observed
him. walked out into the street, and
looked up to sec what was the matter.
Then a policeman meandered leisurcly
up, shaded his eyes with his hand, and
eyed the window intentlv. Three or
four clerks from the adjoining stores
sided out and joined the knot in the
street. A man with cart of peanuts
drove alongside and halted. Pedestrians
stopped, inquired what it was, and di-
rected their attention to the mysterious
window. BY this time small boys were
reinforcing the group from every direc-
ton the crowd almost blocked the way;
windows across the street were thrown
up, and curious faces peered out sub
dued murmur arose as the people swayed
to and fro. Everybody wanted to know
what was the matter, and somebody
started the rumor that T, the clerk
of the hotel, had laid a wager that he
could walk from the window and roll a
wheelbarrow on rope to he stretched
across the street. The man with the
opera-glass gazed tixedly at the window,
intermituing now and then to wipe his
glass with his handkerchief. The crowd
began to get restless. The man with
the peanuts had sold out his stock.
Then the man with the opera glass
jumped up into the wagon and took "a
seat beside the man without the peanuts.
The twain looked around and smiled,
bowed their thanks for their liberal pat
ronage, and the man with the opera
glass, content with the sale his partner
of the peanuts had made, had the impu-
dcnce to arise and offer his opera glass
to the highest bidder. Whether he sold
it also, this chronicler cannot say, for,
with the majority Of the assemblage, he
stuck his hands into his pockets and 81
lently stole away.-Louisville Courier

Advantages Of Crying

\ French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages of groan-
ing and crying in general, and especially
during surgical operations. He com
mends that groaning and crying are two
grand operations by which nature allays
anguish that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings more speed
lily recover from accidents and opera
tons than those who consider it nnwor-
thy man to betray such symptoms of
cowardice to either groan or cry.
He tells of a man who reduced his
pulse from &c to 60 in the course of o
few hours by giving full vent to his emo
tons. If people are at all unhappy
about anything, let them 90 into their
rooms and comfort themselves with n
loud boo-hoo, and they will feel one hun
bred per cent afterward.
In accordance with the above, the
crying of children should not be too
greatly discouraged. If it is systemati-
cally repressed, the result may be st.
Nituss dance, epileptic fits, or some
other disease of the system. What is
natural is nearly always useful, and
nothing can be more natural than the
crying of children when anything occurs
to give either physical or mental pain

bottles, and curious to know what use

The Hight at which Birds Fly.

1t is much to be desired that some
thing positive were known as to the
hight at which it may be possible for
birds to perform their passages, but ON
this point we have (so far as am alvarez
little information. The experiments
made by Mr.. Glashier on the six pigeons
taken up i'll his celebrated balloon ascent,
September ), 1862 (Rep. Brit. ASS,
1862, p. $3.50, unfortunately admit of no
definite deductions. One pigeon thrown
on, at hight of three miles "extended
his wings and dropped as a piece OF
paper A second, at four miles, "ilcw
vigorously round and round, apparently
taking dip each time A third, be
tween four and five miles, fell down
ward as a stone" A fourth, at four
miles, in the descent, flew in circle, "
and then alghted on the balloon. OF
the two remaining pigeons, one was
found to be dead. Perhaps h.tle more
practice" or experience is wanted,
but, at any rate, the results do not seem
to favor the notion that birds can fly
comfortably at those nights.

Mother Carey's Chickens.

The owner OF the imposing title " Tha-
lassadroma Pelagica" is only six inches
long, and is the smallest of web-footed
birds. Above, its feathers are black,
sleek and glossy, with glints OF blue; but
underneath they are dark brown Its
wings are long, and it flies very swiftly,
seldom Tapping.
Sometimes it seems to hang in the air
With wings ou.spread, while it runs along
the waves, and from this habit it was
named " Petrel' (Which means Little
Peter') after s.: Peter, who walked over
the water
When Storm Is brewing, although no
other sign car be seen by man, the Pe.rels
flock together and give loud shrill CRIES,
as if to warn shipmen Of coming danger.
For this reason, sailors call them "Stor-
my Petrels But men OF science say that
the reason why petrels gather before
storm is that then they catch very easily
the sea animals on which they feed Some
observers add that when rain falls the pc
trelS catch the DROPS and that this is how
they quench their thirst
These birds are also sea swallows"
because their flying is like that Of the COM
mon swallows.
They are called Mother Carey Chick
ems by sailors; but have never learned
why they got that name nor who Mother
Carey was. | have heard, though, that
in the Farce islands these birds become
very fat, and men string them on wicks
for use as lomps.
Although the stormy petrol passes most
OF its life on the wing, it comes ashore 10
lay its eggs; and these it hides two feet
deep, buried in the beach, or it burrows
near the tops Of cliffs.

Choosing Husbands who work.

Abiding TO recent elopements, the Gin.
cinnati Commercial says: at may be
that in choosing husbands who work the
young ladies are building more wisely
than their fathers know. From the known
habits and morals Of the average rich
mans sons sensible father might often
echo the Old maids cry ot anybody,
Lord" rather than these for mate for
his daughter Agood looking and steady
young street car driver would be far
better husband. The young lady who
welded the conductor that worked six
teen hours day very possibly knew what
she was about. She certainly showed
better taste than if she had cast her lot
with some idle, dissipated youth among
the surer-phosphates. There can be no
such thing as a mesalliance in rank in a
country where every man may make his
own social position. Changes are SO great
among us that trade may outrank super
phospha,es. even in this generation.

The Xulus prefer, and strive, 10 throw
themselves in overwhelming numbers
Oh the weakest point OF the enemy.
With dauntless courage and the fury Of
tigers they rush ON, without the least
concern for the hundreds falling in
their ranks, or the bodies barring
their way; they press ON to get to
close quarters as speedily as possible,
looking neither to the left or right,
nor dreaming of hiding for a moment
behind stones or bushes They charge
forward, for this reason preferring the
open field. Naturally courageous and
vain of their prowess, they firmly be
lieve they need only follow these tactics
and they must win the day. As for
the loss they suffer il thus advancing
in great numbers, they are indifferent
to it, for the simple reason that they
