Pine Curbing.

The Pioneer Press Of Friday last,
referring to the joint examination of
the water supply Of the Red River
valley to ascertain the cause of its
bad condition and unhealthy results,
says: "In order to prove thoroughly
the theory that the pine in the curb
ing had something to do with the
trouble, Prof: Winchell, after the re-
turn Of the party, instituted series of
experiments. Two great glass jars
were filled with pure we'll wat er, taken
from the same we'll. Into one was
put quantity Of pine chips, and into
the other, nothing. They were ex~
posed to the atmosphere of the same
room, with the following results: The
jar of clear water remained clear and
inodorous for several weeks, while the
other underwent most remarkable
changes. On Dec. 4 the experiment
began, and the pine chips at first
floated on the surface. The next day
they had sunk to the bottom, and small
bubbles Of gas adhered to some of them.
Ten days after thin scum appeared
on the surface of the water, and sour
odor was apparent. The next day
the scum began to settle and the odo,
increased. Ten days after the smell

A Touching Incident.

A lady in the street met little girl
between two and three years old, evi
IDENTIFY lost, and crying bitterly. The
lady took the baby's hand and asked
where she was going.
"Down town to find my papa," was
the sohbing reply.
What is your papa's name9" asked
the lady.
"His name is papa"
"But what is his other name? What
does your mamma call him ?"
"She calls him papa" persisted the
little creature.
The lady then tried to lead her along,
saying: "You had better come with me.
I guess you came from this way"
"Yes; but I don't want to 60 back.
I want to find my papa" replied the
little girl, crying afresh as if her heart
would break.
"What do want of your papa?" ask
ed the lady.
"I want to kiss him."
Just at this time sister of the child,
who had been searching for her, came
along and took possession OF the little
runaway. From inquiry it appeared
that the little ones papa, whom she was
80 earnestly seeking, had recently died,
and she tired of waiting for him to come
home, had gone out to find him.-C2

Satisfying His Patient.

Common sense geper lily recommends
physicians as well as other men to popu

something uncommon is better received
The Hoosiers listened to o speech oi
General Jackson, but would hardly be
satisfied that he was a crest man till he
shouted string of Latin phrases, "E
pluri6us ununa, "Mult,lna in 2oarvo,
Sine qua non ," and then they rent
the Dir with wild hurras for him. A
nice invalid was even harder to satisfy
than the Hoosiers. The first physician
in his case was discharged because he
was honest enough to tell him that he
had sore throat; and the second doc.
tor, having some hint of the fact, an
swered the sick man, when questioned,
that his case was highly abnormal, and
had degenerated into synanche toasi'

"Oh, DOCTOR" cried the patient, "dc
soy that word again |"
" Why, sir, I said you were at present

"Why, just think, doctor, that fool
told me I had nothing but sore throat,
and told him I had no use for such q
Ounce. Doctor, what did you call it p
81 told you, sir, in plain terms, that
the morbid condition of your system was
obvious, and that it has terminated in

"Oh, doctor, it must be a monstrous

me, DOCTOR ?"
"Now, though your diagnosisis is clear,
your prognosis is doubtful; yet I think,

A Sad Story.

The wife of miner in Hopewell, Pa,
had yellow hair of wonderful length and
abundance. It was 80 heavy as to be a
bother, but her husband would not let
her cut it off, even when offered good
price by dealers in hair. Lately work
became scarce with him, and he did not
know how to make payment soon COM
ing due on his little house. The loss of
his home seemed probable. Then q
stranger came along and offered 5000
for the treasured yellow hair. The
amount of money would raise the mort
gage on the homestead, and the hus-
band reluctantly made the sale. He
could not help shedding tears when he
saw the strangers shears despoiling his
wife's head of it's beauty, and she wept
when she looked at herself in the glass !;
but they consoled themselves with the
crisp bank notes, and the buyer went
away with the hair. A few days efter-
ward the miner went to pay the debt and
learned that the bills were all counter
felt.

T0rniditY Of TOalS.

Professor J. A. Allen, OF Cambridge,
states that he saw a large number OF
toads taken from tho mud OF we'll
which had been closed for twenty years.
The animals were apparently lifeless,
being quite motionless, but after being
drawn up and exposed to tho mir their
legs began to twitch after a few mo-
ments, and their eyes slowly to open
and close. In three or four minutes
they 30 far recovered as to hop about,
and shortly after became as bright as If
they had not been asleep for the last
score of years. The temperature OF the
mud in which they were found was
about forty.fve degrees, which was no
doubt maintained throughout the year;
and, as this corresponds very nearly to
that of ponds where they hibernate in
winter, Professor Allen thinks that this
prolonged torpidity was caused by a
continued uniformity Of temperature,
and that he sees no reason why it
should not have been protraoted in
definitely.
