A Fracture of the Skull.

Some years ago a miner was sent to
the Ayrshire District Asylum who, four
years before, had been struck to the
ground insensible by mass of falling
coal, which fractured his skull. He lay
unconscious for four days after the ac-
cident, then came gradually to himself,
and was able, in four weeks, to resume
his work in the pit. But his wife no
ticed steadily-increasing change for
the worse in his character and habits;
whereas he had formerly been cheerful,
sociable and good-natured, always kind
and afectionate to her and his children;
he now became irritable, moody, surly,
suspicious, stunning the company Of
his sfellow-workmen, and impatient with
her and the children. This bad state
increased; he was often excited, used
threats of violence to his wife and
others, finally became quite maniacal
attempted to kill them, had success
sion of epileptic fits, and was sent to the
asylum as a dangerous lunatic. There
he showed himself extremely suspicious
and surly, entertained a fixed delusion
that he was the victim of a conspiracy
on the part of his wife and others, and
displayed bitter and resentful feelings.
At the place where the skull had been
fractured there was well-marked de-
preston of bone, and the depressed
portion was eventually removed by the
trephine. From that time an improve
ment took place in his disposition, his
old self coming gradually back; he be-
came cheerful again, active and oblig-
ing, regained and displayed all his for
mer affection for his wife and children,
and was at last discharged recovered.
No palmer example could be wished to
show the direct connection of cause
and effect-the great deterioration of
moral character produced by the physi-
cal injury of the supreme ve-centers
of the brain; when the cause was taken
away the effect went also.-Dr. Maatds-
ley, IN Fortnightly Reuieao.

And doubly dyed
Horse-thief,
The Origin Of Pin.Money.

The word pin-money is not much used
nowadays, and, when it is, is apt to be
used loosely. It is often employed to
mean an allowance by q father or
husband for daughters or wife's ex-
ira expenses. But its proper signif-
canoe is woman's allowance for all her
personal outlay, whatever it may be.
The origin of the term is something
singular. Long after the invention Of
pins, in the fourteenth century, the
maker was permitted to sell them openly
the LIST and I'd Of january only, when
the courtand city ladies crowded to the
shops to buy them, having been pro-
vided by their fathers and husbands
with money for the purpose. After pins
had become plenty and cheap women
spent their money for other things; but
pin-money remained In vogue. The
opinion, often expressed, that pins were
invented in France during the reign Of
Francis L, and introduced into En-
gland by Catherine Howard, fifth wife
Of Henry VIII, is entirely erroneous.
In 1347, 200 years before the death Of
Francis, 1900 pins were delivered from
the English royal wardrobe for the use
of the Princess Joan, and ffty-three
years later the Duchess D'Orleans pur-
chased of Jehan LIE Breconnier, PIN
maker of Paris, several thousands Of long
and short pins, besides 500 dozens Of
the English fashion, showing that pins
were not only manufactured, but had
gained wide reputation abroad, during
the reign Of Henry ~. It is estimated
that hundreds of millions of pins are
used every year in the United States.
What becomes of all the pins is still q
question that remains unanswered and
| Lnanswerable.

BANK OF DISCOUNT AND DEP
storms Are FOundlings.

When we are asked to give an ac-
count of the birth of storm, we are
reluctantly compelled to admit that our
storms are, almost without exception,
foundlings, and that, as the precise
conditions to which they owe their or
igin are, for the most part, shrouded in
uncertainty, warm discussions at times
arise as to the parish whence they have
set out on their wanderings. Dove
said long ago that storms were due to
the interference of the polar current or
the east wind with the equatorial cur
rent or west wind. He gave the winds
these names, because on his view the
east winds really consisted of air flow
ing from the North or South pole tow
ard the equator, which was modified in
the direction of its motion by its change
of latitude; while west winds we're really
due to air endeavoring to make its way
back to the pole from the equator,
whose course was in its turn modified
by its own moving from lower to higher
latitudes. To the conflict of these two
grand currents, east and west winds,
Dove attributed all our storms; but he
did not attempt to explain how the
currents came into collision. These
views, however correct on their cosmical
principles, have been superseded, of
late years at least, as regards the ex-
PLANTATION of our winds, by the modern
views of the relation between the wind
and the distribution of barometrical
pressure; but, unfortunately, we still
remain in comparative ignorance of the
ultimate causes to which the distribu-
ton of pressure, or the rise and fall OF
the barometer, are due.-PopaIlar Sci

Bismarck,s Dog.

@My dog, where is my dog?" were
Bismarck's first words on alighting
from the railway station at Vienna.
The dog Sultan, who attacked
Gortschakoff during the congress;
bounded to Bismarck's side, ignoring
Andrassy and Prince Reuss, who kept
at respectful distance. Bismarck
and Andrassy entered the Emperor's
private carriage, when the window was
suddenly opened, and stentorian
voice cried, "Mein hund, wo list mein
hund?" If anything had befallen 3Sul-
tan" it is believed the Austro-G German
alliance would have collapsed. How
ever, @Sultan" was assisted by the court
funkies into the carriage and sedately
sat on the rug.
The crowd at the hotel were stupefed
to see @Sultan" leap out of the court
carriage, contrary to etiquette, and
greet the by-standers with unpleasant
demonstrations.
The sight was ridiculous, and the
people fled in all directions, Sultan
having bad reputation. Recently he
manned the Berlin foreign-ofice official
for life, for sitting in Bismarck's chair.
Six Berlin detectives are watching
Bismarck's hotel, Sultan's predecessor
having been killed, as Bismarck firmly
believes, by two social democrats

THE END OF THE WORLD.
By CARRIE v. SHAW.

II such thing could be that the sad winds low
am hearing for the last time as I'm sitting here
alone;
If this great world should suddenly stand still and
What an awe-strucR multitude would stand con-
fronting the Unknowni
In the passion of the anguish of the moment drear
aud lone,
Should hnd the icy barrier that pride has raised
Would the deep, despairing bitterness that tnged
the dark years flown
Fade away when we were standing on the brink of
time alonei
Oil I journey me through darksome swamps
where cypress leaves lie strown;
could Cross black gulfs though juttng rocks left
feet all bleeding, torn;
Though falling timbers blocked my way, DER
mounds of crumbling stone
could journey through the darkness, meath the
solemn skies, alone.
For the sake of the dear dream dreamed, ere
wisdom's glass had shown
All vanity and weakness, and the heart had bitter
For that sweet Illusions sake could forget the
sad years flown,
And wander-fainting, dying-till found him, all
alone.
OIL then, could forget the cruel bond that pride
has grown?
With the night of death around us and his dear
face near my own,
Standing there amidst the ruins, where pale weird
lights Pickering, shone,
Then need not fear to tell him how worshiped
him alone.
Shall tell him how my nature, strange, the world
And, misjudged by those I loved, how might
stand or fall alone;
That was not cold and naughty, that resped not
But that was very weary and would smile death
welcome home?
Or, shall wait, as have waited all my Life,
alone,
With the darkness of the shadows of DEATHS orgies
round me thrown,
With the Dead Sea fruit cherished once to taste
less ashes grownf
Shall wait, as I have waited all my weary life,
alone,
With no one near in all the throng that can call
my own;
With the wreck of falling worlds about my helpless
feet thick strown;
The hearts wild tumult blending the chill winds
I shall watch and wait, as have watched and wait
ed, all alone.
shall note with lonely eyes the changeless love
While shiver with the death-damp of the night
dews, all alone,
While feel my brow grow colder than the slab of
On which lean awaiting there the last great call,
alone.
shall note the tears of others, but my hapless
tears have flown
They were shed DER those dear forms beneath this
slab of marble stone.
Methinks could not weep through all Deaths
mysteries now made known,
I have wept SO much--while waiting through these
dreary years alone.
shall stand alone reclining gainst this piece of
marble stone,
With the laundering, roaring, rushing of Deaths
billows nearer borne.
There amidst dissolving nature, with the final
bugle blown,
shall die as I have ehve1-misunderstood, un-
known. alone.

The Most Married Of Women.

Benjamin Abbott, one of our old citi-
zens, died in this town Saturday last in
the SD year of his age. He was
nephew of the celebrated Rev. Benja-
min Abbott. the great Methodist re-
vivalist of the early part of this cent
ury, and came to this State from New
Jersey when young man and settled
in the @Neck," east of this town, where
his active life was mostly spent. But
the. notable feature in Mr.. Abbott's
otherwise-uneventful life is the re-
markable fact of being the seventh hus-
band of mis- widow, who survives him.
This much-talked-of and much-pub-
ished event (for it went the rounds of
the press of the nation, when he for
the second and she for the seventh time
bowed before the altar of Hymen, oc-
Cured on June 80, 1875, he then being
FS and she 80 years old. Mrs. Abbotts
history in the marital relations of life
stands perhaps without parallel in the
records of the nation, and tradition has
it there is to be yet another. 1t is cur
rently stated, without contradiction,
that some years ago she had a vision,
in which eight men stood before her in
a culiarly-impressive manner, which
she has ever regarded as prophetic of
the number of eonquests she was to
make. The eighth is just as likely and
as reasonable as the seventh, and al
ready public gossip is beginning to
mark this and that man as the victim
of the next conquest. Her maiden
name was Williams, and she has been
successfully Mrs. Truax, Mrs. Riggs,
Mrs. Farrow, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Berry,
Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Abbott. In every
instance, save the first, she married
widowers, some of them with good
number of children, and, on one occa-
sion, in her early married life, she went
to the almshouse and took therefrom
three children and raised them. She
never had any children of her own. All
her life has been spent in this vicinity,
and all her husbands were buried by
the same undertaker.-SnayT7aa Del. }

Artificial Lumber.

The versatile ingenuity of Western
inventor, who doubtless foresees the
time in the far-distant future when the
forest shall cease to clothe the hills and
dales, and the demands for lumber
shall prove vastly in excess of the sup
ply, has succeeded in devising sub
stitute for the natural product of virgin
or the cultivated soil. His plan is to
use that fragile vegetable, straw, and
by peculiar process to compress it
into substance as hard and indestructi-
BILE as oak lumber. It is claimed that
this process converts wheat-straw into
timber which is susceptible of as fine a
polish and finish as mahogany and
black walnut, at cost not in excess of
that of the best clear pine. The straw
is first manufactured by the ordinary
paper-min process into strawboard, and
a sufficient number of sheets of this of
the right size are taken to make the re-
quired timber. They are soaked and
softened in chemical solution, which
is, of course, the inventors secret. After
the fiber of the pasteboard is sufficiently
saturated, the pile of sheets is pressed
between series of rollers which con-
solidate them SO that when dry the
whole is hard stick. It is claimed
that the process renders this wood
substitute imperyious to water, and the
chemicals used are such as to make il
fre-proof. But the sanguine inventor
has only made samples thus far.

USEFUL INFORMATION.

REMEDY FOR MOTH PAToHEs.-Saler
atus dissolved in whisky, in the proper
ton of teaspoonful of the former to
pint of the latter, is said, by lady who
has tried it, to be sure remedy for
moth patches. After being well wet with
the preparation, it is asserted that the
spots will rub off, leaving the skin as
fair and soft as an infants.
To REMOVE RUST FROM STEEL.-The
steel to be cleaned should be washed
with solution composed of one-half
ounce of cyanide of potassium in two
ounces of water; then brush with the
following recipe: Cyanide of POTASH
um, one-half ounce; CASTLE soap, one
ounce; whiting and water sufficient to
form paste. Cyanide of potassium is
a most violent poison, and persons us
ing it should be particularly careful.
To STAIN WooD BRowN.-Get an
ounce each of catechu and bichromate
of potash. Break the catechu-which
is blackish gum-ike substance Into
small fragments, place it in a glass or
earthenware vessel, with piece Of
washing soda as large as walnut, and
pour upon it a pint of boiling water,
and stir until dissolved. Put the bi-
chromate in a bottle with pint of cold
water, and dissolve with occasional
shaking. Paint over the woodwork
to be stained, first with the catechu So
luton, and let it dry; it will be of a
dull, dirty brown. When, dry go over
it with the solution of bichromate, and
it will turn to a very rich chestnut
brown. By varying the strength of the
solutions, the depth of color will be
varied. When quite dry, apply shellac,
or other varnish. Very cheap, easily ap-
piled and satisfactory.
HINTS ABOUT WATER.-No water that
has stood in open vessels during the
night should be used for drinking or
cooking. By exposure to the air it has lost
its "aeration," and has absorbed many
of the dust germs floating in the apart
ment. If convenience requires water
to be kept in vessels for several hours
before use, it should be covered, un-
less the vessels are tight. Wherever
practical, all distributing reservoirs
should be covered. Filtering always
adds to the purity of the water. Drink
ing-water should not be taken from
lakes or rivers on low level. Surface
water, or water in lakes, pools or rivers
which receive the surface wash, should
be avoided as much as possible. Dc
not drink much water at a time. More
than two tumblerfuls should not be
taken at ia meal. Do not drink between
meals unless to quench thirst, as excess
of water weakens the gastric juice and
overworks the kidneys. Excessive po-
tations, whether of water or other fluid
relax the stomach, impair its secretions
and paralyze its movements. By
drinking little at time all injury il

CoIors Of Thoroughhred Horses.

The modern thoroughbred horse is
most commonly bay, frequently chest
nut, less frequently brown, rarely black,
and still more rarely roam, and scarcely
ever gray. Cecil, an authority, writing
in 1856, calculated in the previous thirty
years the Derby had been won by six
teen bays, seven chestnuts and seven
browns; the st. Leger by seventeen
bays, eight browns and five chestnuts.
Since 1856 the proportionate number
of bays has been maintained, the num-
Der of chestnuts has increased, the
number of browns diminished, and no
gray or roam has won either of these
great stakes. Gustavus, a gray, won
the Derby in 1921, and Frederick, an
other gray, won the same race in 1929
nothing of that color since. There
has been no gray horse of repute since
Chanticleer, who, at or 5 years old, in
1847 and 1S48, won many royal plates,
the Goodwood stakes and the Doncas-
ter cup. There were only two grey
stations named in the Racing Calendar
of 1872-Master Bagot, an iron gray,
and Strathconan, a light gray, descend
ed from Chanticleer. through his dam.

Field Battles Of the Anclents.

Free from the smoke of q modern
engagement, Hellenic battle must
have been gallant sight. In purple
tunics and Furnished armor the men
stood ten, fifteen and twenty deep, be-
meath gittering forest of spear-heads.
Those who were well to do had no lack
of gold about their greayes and breast
plates, and were dandifed in plumes
and sword-belts, while even the poorest
citizen wore helmet fashioned by the
exquisite taste of Greek artifcer. It
must have been trial for the nerves of
the bravest to stand biting his mus
tache; humming bar Of the pecan
which he was to sing within the next
quarter of an hour; wondering whether
his widow would marry again; hoping
that the cobbler on his right might not
turn tail, or the teacher of gymnastics
on his left shove him out of the line;
dimly conscious meanwhile that his
Colonel was exhorting him in series
of well-turned periods to bethink him
self of the tomb which covered those
who died in Thermopyl@, and the tro-
ply which stood on the beach of Arte-
misium.
And then the signal-trumpet sound
ed, and the music struck up, and the
whole army moved forward, steadily at
first, but breaking into a run when only
few hundred yards separated the ap-
preaching lines. And as the distance
between them grew shorter, and the
tramp of the enemy mingled with their
own, the front-rank men had just time
to try and imagine that the counten-
ances of the people opposite looked
like finching, and that the notes of
their war-chant had begun to falter, and
the next second there would be crash
of pixies, and grating Of bucklers, and
clutching of boards; and those who
would fain be home again were pushed
on by the mass behind, excited at hear
ing others fighting, and with no steel at
its own throat; and, after five minutes
of thrusting, and shouting, and fierce
straining of foot, and knee, and shoul-
der, the less-determined or the worse
disciplined of the two hosts would
learn, by one more cruel experience, the
old lesson that life as well as honor is
for those who retain their self-respect
and their shields.
