Faintness consists in a temporary failure
of the activity of the heart: the blood, in
consequence, is not properly circulated. 1t
does not reach the head, and the patient los
es clearness of vision and color, and, if not
prevented, falls on the floor, where, how
ever, or even before reaching it, he recov-
ers. There is no convulsion, and, though.
he can scarcely be said to be conscious, he
is not profoundly unconscious, so as not to
be be ably to be aroused, as happens in epi-
lepsy. There are all degrees of faintness,
from merely feeling faint and looking
slightly pale, TO the state we have des-
cribed; and in some cases the state of faint
ing is hardly recovered from well before it
recurs again and again, for hours and days
together. We need hardly say that such
cases as the latter are altogether beyond the
reach of domestic medicine What are the
causes of faintnessl 1t is not very difficult
to describe these. Some people are so ca
silly effected that they faint if they cut their
finger, or even if they only see the cut
finger of another person. All one can say
of such persons is that their muscular
fibre is not strong, and that their nerves are
sensitive. The heart, which goes on for
years circulating the blood, is essentially a
muscle. 1t is weak in some people, stronger
in Others. As a rule, it is weaker in women
and stronger in men. Hence women faint
more rapidly than men. Whatever weak
ems the heart and muscles generally acts as
a cause of faintness Close, foul air is
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 or disagreeable,
will sometimes cause fainting. But of all
causes of faintness none is 30 serious 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 any other cause
in excessive quantity, then faintness
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 another. Sometimes frequent faintness
arises from becoming very fat, the muscu-
lar system of the heart being impaired by
fatty deposit

The Way German Army Horses Are Fed.

The horses of the German army are
now fed with biscuit. These consist OF
thirty parts of oat flour, thirty parts OF
dextrinated pea flour, and ten parts OF
llnseed flour; sometimes of twenty
parts of pea flour, twenty parts OF
wheat flour, twenty parts of corn meal.
twenty parts of rye flour, ten parts OF
grated bread, and ten parts of linseed
flour. The ingredients are made into
biscuits. The first named mixture is
the best. These biscuits are made with
a hole in the middle of each, so they
can be strung on string, and hung to
the saddle-bow, or be carried by the
trooper around his waist. Each biscuit
weighs, when baked dry and hard,
about two ounces. Seven biscuits are
broken up and given to the horse in the
morning, moistened with water if con-
venient, otherwise dry-twelve at noon,
and seven at night. After careful ex-
pertinent in camp, on the march, and
campaigning, they are reported by all
the cavalry and artillery officers better
than oats. A trooper can easily carry
thirty pounds of these biscuits, which
will furnish his hoI Sc with full rations
for eight days; or will serve with forage
for twelve days hard marching.

A New Process with Coffee.

A German had jus. discovered pro-
cess which he has patented, and by
which he claims to lie able 20 preserve
coffee in all its perfection, and at the
same time render ii more portable
and unalterable, for length of time.
To effect this object he subjects the
frsshly-rosstod and ground coffee to a
pressure of from forty to seventy atmo-
spheres (thirty-three pounds to the
square inch esch) in suitable cast iron
molds. The coffee is thus made into
cakes, and comes into the market in a
form resembling chocolate, divided like
the latter by lines, to facilitate breaking
into pieces of suitable size for use. The
interior surface Of the mold is highly
polished, by which means the outer
crust Of the compressed coffee is made
sufficiently smooth and hard to prevent
the tendency of the ethereal oil of the
berry to escape from the interior Of the
cakes. The volume of coffee thus
prepared is reduced to less than one
third Of the original. The inventor
claims that the operation does not in the
least affect the good Qualities Of the ar
ticle, and that 1t can be packed and
transported in tin-foll, or otherwise,
preserving its aroma indefinitely.

The Upper Berth.

| All the way from Burlington TO Hop
I kins, | peacefully snored in an upper berth.
| never get any other. l always reach the
conductor Just in time to learn that he'll
shave to give me an upper berth" All
/ this winter / have lived on the road, and
never got lower berth but once. That
was on the st. Louis sleeper of the c. B. &
@. road, which has no upper berths. And
when | went to get into my lowly couch
that night, was so accustomed to climb
ing into my lofty berth from step-ladders
and porters' boxes, that | didn't know how
to get into a low one, and the porter boosted
me up to the curtain rod, which scrambled
over, and tumbled down inside Why,
about one-fifth of my life this winter, has
been spent dangling between heaven and
earth, clinging to the edge of an upper
berth, feeling for the floor with my feet.
There is some mistake about this Nature
never intended me to sleep in an upper
berth, else she had given me legs with tu-
bular joints, that would slide in and out,
like a spy-glass. | am glad l am not fat,
tince this relentless fate has assigned me
forever to the doom of the upper berths. If
there is anything that would make a snake
laugh, it would be the spectacle of a fat
man, little along in years, with a head
rather of the bald baldy, and wide suspen-
ders tapping and dangling down his legs,
putting, squirming and kicking over the
edge of an upper berth, trying to get in,
grabbing at the yielding unhelpful pillows,
alanbcing himself On his stomach while he
ears his bed to pieces with frantic snatches,
and at the same time kicks the immortal
breath out of the man in the opposite berth,
and at last, with hollow groan, come slid
ing down, landing astride of the neck of the
man who is sitting on the edge of the lower
berth unbuttoning his shoes. 1t usually
winds up by his giving some man dollar
and fifty cents to trade berths with him.
1t is unnecessary to say that the old fat man
is very sensitive on this subject and doesn't
like to be joked about it. One night, after
/ had laughed myself blind at just such a
scene as have described, heard the fat
man ask, with great sadness of voice, if any
body wouldn't like to exchange berths with
him. Moved with pity said 81 would" "
''All right, said the perspiring fat man,
'smine's upper five, but you'll have to get
the porter to make it up again before you
get it. It's kind of tore all to pieces" he
added, rather apologetically.
And he was correct, forI could see it ly-
ing all over the floor of the car
(which is your berth :" he asked, a.
with a grateful glow on his face he pre-
pared to drop into if.
''Upper seven," l said, "next one to
yours"
And l don't think was ever called quite
so many names in five minutes. all different
and none complimentary, in all my life, as
l was then. l will never again try 10 be
accommodating in sleeping car.

Fl. BALDWIN, of Monroe City, Ind,
writes under date of Dec. 3, 1877, that
his wife used DIR. Pierce's Fav0rite Pre-
scription with wonderful results. 1t
effected her entire cure. after several
physicians had failed. The many simi-
lar letters positively affirming that the
Favorite Prescription had cured the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women, induced DIR. Pierce to sell it
under guarantee. Ladies need no
longer submit to useless and painful
local treatment, as the Favorite Pre-
scription is safe, sure, and speedy
cure. Hundreds. who had been bed
ridden for years have been restored to
perfect health by its use.

DOMESTIC.


Poisonous GASES IN HoUsEs.-Ty-
phus fever, diphtheria, and other fatal
diseases, are often caused BY sewer gas
which forces lis way through the water
closet and open fixed basins into the
house. Another dangerou; gas is that
emanating from stoves. Unless there
is free circulation and an adequate
supply of pure air in a bedroom occa-
pied by one or more persons, the vol
ume of air enclosed becomes very rap
idly exhausted of ITS life-preserving
properties, and proportionately charged
with gasses of an opposite character.
The mere breathing of the air takes
from it the oxygen, and returns vol
ume of carbonic acid gas, which speed
lily assumes an undue proportion TO the
former, and renders the atmosphere
absolutely dangerous to life. But there
are other sources of danger that too
frequently fail to be recognized, even
by generally careful housekeepers.
These are the pipes leading from
water-closets. sinks, and fixed wash
stand basins, to the house drain, and
which often serve as the inlets by
which that most deadly of poisons,
sewer gas, enters dwellings. 1t does
not matter very much whether the poi
son enters the hallway from water
closet, the kitchen from a sink, or the
bedroom from a fixed wash-stand
basin, 1t will attack the sleeper ia his
bedroom. Thousands of fatal cases of
diseases that are believed to be the re-
suit of eontagion, are really due to
sewer gas poison brought directly into

HUMOROUS.

The NEW JERSEY LAwYER--He was
pretty rough-looking customer 10
own the name of Emanuel St. Cleave.
but he took solemn vow that the name
was his alone. His debut occurred at
the Central Market. One of the pie
women sat shivering and wishing and
hoping for customers, when along came
I Emanuel with a radiant smile covering
his face. He introduced himself as a
lawyer to hunt up a woman OF her
name who had been left fortune OF
$50, 900 by some one in Mexico.
''There is no doubt in my mind, he
added as he took chair, ''that you are
the person into whose lap this comfort
able fortune is to fall, but there are GER
tain formalities TO be gone through
with.''
One of the formalities was taking a
big mince pie in his fingers and biting
out good sixth part of it at bite.
His teeth closing on second bite when
the heiress closed her fingers on his
neck and held him against post, mouth
full of crust and meat and seasOnings,
until an officer could be had.
''Mr. st. Cleave, is this the way you
maintain q e dignity OF the New Jersey
bar ?'' inquired the court. re-
''And the dignity of mince pie that
cost me 'leven cents ~ added the heiress.
'May it please your Honor" be-
gan the prisoner.
"But it don't please us one Bit" in
terrupted the pie woman. ''That pie
would have sold for eighteen cents."
.''Your Honor, l came here TO hunt
up an heiress by the name of Pinder,
and"
''And then how could be the heiress
when my name Is something else en-
tirely ~ she demanded. "Ah judge,
he's an old beat, See the way his ears
are set on his head! Take look at the
way that nose is put on his face!'
witness, please keep still. Now,
Mr.. st. Cleave, you say you came here
10 search for an heiress named Pin
der:''
"Yes, your Honor"
Sand she has fifty thousand dollars
awaiting herI'
"She has"
"And you are real anxions to find
her:''
II am"
Then what was he doing eating up
pie which would have sold in any
market for eighteen cents ~ exclaimed
the witness. -''If we have no laws in
this country to protect our eighteen
cent pies, then | shall pay no more rent
in the market
''Mr. st. Cleave. / was going to say
that | knew where the heiress is"
''Ahr'
''She Is in the baking department at
the House of Correction. You shall
carry her the joyful tidings."
Il had rather send for her to come
down TO Il hotel"
''But that wouldn't be regular, you
see. You'll have sixty days in which
to break the news. Break it gently
joy sometimes kills"
The man called for three LAWYERS and
jury, appealed the case and demanded
a change of reaTe, but Bijah gathered
him just the same.
And who's 10 pay for my pie?" de-
manded the woman, as the case closed.
MADAM, law is law
''lt may be sir, but law isn't pie."
''The pie is sacrificed to justice and
principles"
''Then I'll wait at the door and sac
rifice that lawyer till he can't smell
bone-yard ~ was her determined reply.
as she went out TO take up her position.

product is very obvious. In England,
Stag has been turned to account in the
formation of breakwaters, such as that
at the mouth of the Tees. Bricks, paw

also made of it. Three millions of Stag
bricks, most of which go to London,
are manufactured annually. Glass
