Faintness and its Causes.

Faintness consists in temporary fall
ure of the activity of the heart; the blood,
in consequence, is not properly circulated.
1t tdoes not reach the head, and the patient
loses clearness of vision and color, and,
if not prevented, falls to the floor, where,
however, or even before reaching it he
RECEIVERS. There is no CONFUSION, and,
though he can scarcely be said to be con-
scious. he is not able to be aroused,
as happens in epilepsy. There are all de-
grees OF faintness, from merely feeling
faint and looking slightly pale, to the state
We have described; and in some cases the
state of fainting is hardly recovered from
we'll before it recurs again and again, for
hours and days together. We eneed hardly
say that such cases as the latter are al
together beyond the reach of domestic
medicine. What are the causes Of faint
nesse l! is not very difficult to describe.
Some people are so easily affected that
they faint if they cut their finger, or even
if they only see the cut finger ot another
person. All one can say OF such persons
is that their muscular fiber is not strong
and that their nerves are sensitive The
heart, which goes on for years circulating
the blood, is essentially muscle. 1t is
weak in some people, stronger in others.
As rule it is weaker in women and
stronger in men. Whatever weakens the
heart and the muscles generally acts as a
cause of fantness. Close, foul air is a
common cause Of faintness or OF languid-
ness. Anything which greatly affects the
nervous system, such as bad news or the
sight Of something horrible OF disagree
able, will sometimes cause fainting. But
Of all causes of faintness, none are so Sc.
rious as the loss of blood. The muscles,
in order to act well, must be supplied
with blood, and if the blood OF The body
is lost-if it escapes, either from vein
opened purposely, or from piles or from
the source from which menstruation pro-
ceeds-in excessive quantity, then faint
ness will happen The degree of it will
depend on the constitution and on the
amount of blood lost. A loss Of blood
that would scarcely be felt by one person
will be serious cause of faintness to an
other. Sometimes frequent faintness
arises from becoming very fat, the mus.
cular system OF the heart being impaired
by fatty deposit.-Cassell's Household
Guide,

The Flirt at the Theatre.

She sat in the front row OF the par
quet circle the other night, and when
she wasn't flirting with the gentleman
whose faces she could see, she was dis
cussing the people on the stage. She
was Il beautiful blonde, with dark brown
eyes, and her face attracted much atten-
ton A fair, white skin; rosy, dimpled
cheeks; lips like the cherries that grow
nearest the sun, in the top of the tree;
pearly teeth, the regular rows of which
show themselves whenever she chose to
let her musical laugh be heard (Which
was often); and pretty shaped head,
crowned with wealth of golden hair
and the cunningest Of hats. She talked
aloud, and even made faces at the gen
tleman VINO stared at her. Ordinarily,
such a character, even though fe-
male beauty, would have been un-
pleasant at the theatre, but somehow
everybody seemed pleased with the lady,
If T. G.'s glass did not deceive him, she
was about four years old. The only
portion of the play she seemed to under
stand and appreciate was u love making
sCena
When tho laughter that followed the
exit of the lovers in the play had sub
sided, the little one turned to young
lady and said in a perfectly audible
voice:
"Della, ats dess Q way cousin George
tissed 90 q ouver day."
The star was much disconnected to
hear a roar of laughter from portion
of the audience just AS she made her
tragic appearance on the next scene;
but the tribulation was insignificant by
comparison with that Of a certain couple,
who will henceforth leave the ''little
flirt" at home when they 80 to the play.

"We cut our way through, and once
more entered the fatal valley. When
half way back to our starting point, a
cannon shot struck my brother and be-
headed him. Tom! ah! thank your"
The color-sergeant drained another
glass
"When we formed upon arriving at
our starting point, Lord Cardigan, with
tears streaming from his eyes, said:
est was not my fault, my men.
"And the men replied with one voice:
Dismissed.
"'We are ready to 90 in again, my
Lord, if you will lead us.
'Just then became dizzy. My scalp
had been lifted by the stroke Of the
Russians sabre, the skin of my cheek
cleft across to my upper lip, and tainted
from loss of blood,
"When my time expired in the cavalry
l re-enlisted in this regiment. / am al
ways proud to hear myself called one of
the 600, but--poor Jack! fill that glass
again, Tom"
Thus ended the sergeant's story of the
famous charge.

How a Toad Undresses.

A gentleman sends to an agricultural
paper an amusing description Of "How a
Toad Takes Of His Coat and Pants" ="
He says he has seen one do it. and friend
has seen another do the same thing in the
same way.
"About the middle Of July l found a
toad on hill Of melons, and not wanting
him TO leave, hoed around him. He
appeared sluggish and not inclined to
move. Presently l observed him press-
ing his elbows against his sides and rub
bing them downward. He appeared so
singular that watched to see what he was
up to. After few smart rubs his skin
began to burst open straigh, along his
back. Now, said |, old fellow, you have
done it; but he appeared to be uncon-
cerned and kept on rubbing until he had
worked all his skin into folds on his sides
and hips. Then grasping one hind leg
with both his hands, he hauled off one leg
OF his pants the same as anybody would,
then stripped the other hind leg in the
same way. He then took his cast-off Gu
tcle forward between mis- fore legs into
mis- mouth and swallowing it; then, by
raising and lowering his head, swallowing
as his head came down, he stripped off
the skin underneath until it came to his
fore legs, and then grasping one Of these
with the opposite hand, by considerable
pulling, stripped off the skin; changing
hands he stripped off the other, and by
slight motion Of the head, and all the
while swallowing, ne drew from the neck
and swallowed the whole. The occupa-
ton seemed an agreeable one and occu-
pied but short time"

Washington Gossip.

Emma James, the well krown oorres-
dent of the Record Union at Washing.
ton, has the following to say about Mrs.
| Kate Chase Sprague and Senator Conk-
ling, in connection with the great speech
delivered recently by the Senator:
The face of all faces in that gallery
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague-who entered
under the escort of MIR. Conkling's pri-
vate secretary, for whom and herself
front seats were reserved, the wives of
congressman being displaced to make
room for them when they came in The
disgruntled ladies sat down on the gal
lery steps, and looked "perfectly awful"
things about that Conkling-Srrague ro-
nance. Mrs. Sprague, though forty
three or four, has by her native charms
and by all the appliances of art, pre-
served her youth consumately. She
looks about "a or 26, and radiantly
beautiful. She was dressed in dark
blue silk, which suited well her rich,
auburn brown hair. She wore wreath
of Spring flowers on her turban-shaped
hat, and superb boquet of tea roses
and violets in her hand. She is wife
and the mother of four children; with
the latter she resides on her paternal es
tate Of Edgewood, near the city limits,
hopelessly estranged from her husband,
an unattractive man, whom it
is not pretended that she ever
loved. Mr.. Conkling is quietly
alienated from his wife, gentle lady
some years his senior, and sister of
Horatio Seymour. She has not for four
wears been in Washington with him,
and he has not even gone home today
to the marriage Of his only daughter,
Bessie, although he has sent her mar
riage portion Of handsome house and
lot in Utica. Mrs. Conkling spends her
winters in Florida and her summers in
Utica. Mr. Conkling and Mrs. Sprague
drive out together regularly, and are
said 20 spend hours daily in each others
society The affair has assumed the
dignity Of grand passion, and people
look wise and say nothing, 80 high are
the names involved. The Senator
glanced up at her several times during
his speech, and at its close sat down and
turned his proud, longing face fully up
to her Her own was study to watch
in its absorbed and proud attention to
every word he said. There was no ef-
fort at concealing her utter abandon to
the spell Of the hour There was ma
terial for a three-volume novel in the
situation of those "dramatis PERSONA" on

A Chicken with a Tooth.

The following incident is said to have
occurred recently in Knoxville, Tennes-
see. A lady had false tooth which had
become loose. and recently, while out in
the yard feeding her chickens, she sneez-
ed very hard. when the tooth fell out and
was at once swallowed by one of the
chickens. The lady kept ber eye on
that same chicken, aud, as soon as tos-
sibly, effected capture, when she felt of
the craw until she discovered substance
she took to be her tooth, and taking a
knife, the craw was opened at that place,
the tooth taken out, and then closed
again with needle and thread, and the
chicken released. The chicken is still
living and well, though full Of resolution
never again to swallow tooth, while the
lady sports full set of teeth again.

PRESENCE OF MIND ON A LOCOMOTIVE.

Accidents are prevented by lightning
like application of presence OF mind on the
part of the engineer. A hundred instan-
ces of remarkable presence of mind might
be cited in this connection. A passenger
train on the Chicago. Burlington and Quin-
cy road was rounding sharp curve, just
under patch of tall timber The watch
full engineer saw tree lying across the
track sixty feet ahead of the locomotive.
The train was running at speed of 35
miles per hour, and to check its momen-
tum before reaching the obstruction was
out of the question. The engineer took
in the situation at glance. He threw
the throttle wide open, and the engine
shot ahead with the velocity of an arrow,
and with such tremendous force that the
tree was picked up by the cow-catcher
and flung from the track as if it had been
only weed or a willow withe. A man
with not so cool head would have made
the best possible use of those 60 feet in
the way of checking the speed Of the
train.
That would have caused a disaster.
Sam Bradford. one of the best engineers
in the country, was bringing an express
train over the Kankakee line from Indian
opolis. As the engine shot cut from
deep cut and struck short piece of
straight track leading to a bridge a herd
of colts were discovered running full tilt
down the road The distance to the river
was only 100 feet. Sam knew he conldn't
stop the train, and also knew that if the
colts beat the locomotive to the bridge
they would fall between the timbers and
the obstruction would throw the train of
and probably result in frightful lose of
life. 1t took him only half second to
think of all this. The other half of the
second was utilized in giving his engine
quantity of steam that it covered that 100
feet of track in about the same time that
bolt of lightning would travel from the tip
of lightning rod to the ground. The
colts were struck and hurled down the
embankment just as they were entering
the bridge.
