Headache CauSpS,

DR.. Treichler. a German physician
has lately made some much-noted COM
ments on habitual headache among
young people, trouble which he AYERS
is largely on the increase. He is in
clined to attribute it to excessive intel
lectual exertion, often caused by the
fancy of parents for having a great
variety of subjects taught, and more
especially to night work, which, he says,
produces in the brain the anne condition
as would be produced in the muscles,
if, after long days march, mountain
climber were to continue walking far
on into the night, and were to repeat
this day after day. DR.. Treichler's let
ter has ELECTED from London physician
astatement that he has sometimes found
the brain to be growing faster than the
skull which contained it. What seemed
like great stupidity was for time the
result, but in time the skull effected its
enlargement, and the brain was relieved.
One of the dangers most likely to occur
in schools arises from the fact that the
same lessons are necessarily allotted to
all in class, and while they entail no
effort of intellect on the part of one, may
be frightful labor to another. 1t is the
dull, laborious pupil, we suspect, who
oftentimes is the mos: injured by school
pressure, and it should be the study of
the teacher to recognize him or her, and
afford aid and encouragement.

box suffers, thieves and blacklegs had
been thoroughly wiped out, though a
fragment of opposition, the claw and
order party" yet renamed. The cleo
tion came of, and the peoples ticket "
was triumphantly elected.
The vigilantes had done their work,
and done it well. They threw open the
doors of the committee building for
public inspection, and for two days
stream OF people poured through the
rooms, looking at everything. The
weapons that were taken from the MUIR
derous bulGes. and the implements OF
the thieves, burglars, gamblers and
ballot-box suffers were all shown and
examined by thousands of curious eyes.
In September the vigilantes paraded
through the principal streets. Eight
thousand as brave men as ever stepped
together, who had routed villainy and
murder in their stronghold, and made
California inhabitable. There were
cavalry, infantry, artillery every
branch of the eservice-and they marched
proudly, as indeed they had good caus1
to do. Then they disbanded, each man
settling down quietly to his work.
Taxes came down; there was the most
perfect security to life and property,
and for two long decades San Francisco
was noted as a quiet city.

railroad for the locality of n wreck,
with Superintendent Parsons in the cab,
the distance to be run being six miles I;
that the engineer opened the throttle
wide, and the superintendent took out
his stop watch and timed the run, and
that thespeed was at the ro e OF eighty

Humane Work.

The work done by the Russian Red
Cross society in Roumania during the
Russo. Turkey war has lately been pre-
pared and published. Altogether eleven
ambulance trains were employed in the
conveyance of sick and wounded, four
being supplied by the military authori-
ties and seven by the Red Cross society,
the total number transported by the
trains in 33l journeys amounting to 2, ,69s
officers, 1909 men, and 1850 sick or
wounded Turkish prisoners. Besides
these, 22,247 sick ana wounded officers
and men were taken on specially hired
steamers down the Danube TO Ibraila.
The personnel employed by the Red
Cross society comprised thirty-six dele
gates and fourteen agents for adnlistTa-
tive purposes, forty four surgeons, thir-
ty.nine medical students, fifty-three
dressers, forty-three female students and
dressers, and SIG sisters of mercy; while
the money expended amounted to over
two million dollars. A large amount OF
clothing and medical stores were also
distributed by the society.

A Worthy Charity,

At the day nursery for children in
Mulberry street, New York, writes Mr..
Rideing in Harper'S Maga5ine, the elder
children are provided with a midday
luncheon of bread and molasses, and
the younger ones with milk. There is
spacious and clean yard for the former
to play in when the weather is fair, and
a cheerful dormitory for the babies,
score or more of whom were wrapped
in contentment and slumber, each in o
cot or cradle when we called a few
months ago. A charge of five cents a
day is made when the parents can afford
it, but it is oftener remitted than paid,
and only in few instances has the
charity been abused by the failure of
woman to come for her child in the
evening When abandonment has been
attempted it has been checked, and so
far from neglecting their offspring most
OF the mothers are in hurry after tleir
work to embrace the well-cared-for
babies and bear them home.

A Wonderful Gun,

A gun which can fire 5000 shots in
thirteen minutes was recently tested in
Washington. The Gardner is a ma
chine gun, like the Gatling. 1t has two
barrels made of steel, encased in brass.
This is an auxiliary to small arms, and
is simply gun which, bv the ingenu-
ity of the designer, is calculated TO do
the work of a number of muskets, and
do it more rapidly and effectively. 1t
cannot, probably, shoot as accurately
as musket, but If properly handled
must be fearfully destructive. espe-
cially when directed against line or
an advancing column. The charge Is
seventy grains of powder, and the ball
weighs 4O5 grains. 1t is mounted on a
small carriage, ard is light enough to
be carried by two. men. The whole
length Of the gun Is only four feet. 1t
can be fired 500 times in a minute, its
capacity in this direction being only
limited by the rapidity by which it can
be fed. If steam could apply the mo-
tive power, and it could be fed fast
enough, there is no telling how rapidly
it could be fired. The firing is done
by turning a crank in the rear of the
gun, and it is fed through hat-shaped
box, into which the cartridges are
placed in blocks holding twenty each.
They fit down neatly into this box,
which holds about fifty cartridges, and
is fast as the crank is turned they drop
iown into a channel and are carried
forward for discharge and the empty
cartridges returned and dropped be-
meath. Five thousand shots were fired
in thirteen minutes, three men rcliev-
ing each other at the crank.

A Valuable Gem.

The Prussian capital has long con-
tanned a jewel of fabulous value, the
news of whose existence was first made
known by the reports Of the last session
of the Polytechnic society. The noble
stone is sapphire, and is the property
of one of the members of that learned
body. 1t weighs little more than six
ounces. The jury of the Polytechnic
society have settled its value at the
frightful sum of $4,000, 900 marks, or
about Sl6,OOO,O0O of American money.

such price. Its present possessor has

A Buildings Vicissitudes,

Madison square garden in New York,
has been the scene Of many catastrophes
since its erection, accidents of serious
nature having frequently occurred
there. In May, 1874, fire broke out
and threatened to assume gigantic pro.
portions, but owing to the presence of
mind displayed by the officials it was
eItinguished after slight damage had
been done. On March 10, last year,
while the international walking match
was in progress, a gallery gave way,
precipitating a hundred people to the
ground, inAicting injuries more or less
serious on many of its occupants, and
causing great excitement in the city.
While in the hands of Mr.. Barnum,
who used it as hippodrome, many
alarming accidents happened in the
ring. Circus riders were thrown from
theirshorses, performers on the trareze
fell headlong to the ground, and broken
limbs and ,racked heads were the rule
and not the exception among the en-
ployees of the show. The recent
lamentable calamity, however, in
which four persons lost their lives by a
falling wall, exceeds any that has as yet
occurred in the building, disastrous as
the record of previous misEortunes un-
mistakably is.
The history Of the structure is indeed
a checkered one. The place has been
used at various times within the last
fifteen years a a railroad depot, a hippo
drome, rae course, gymnasium, a
house of worship, a ballroom, an agri-
cultural hall, and has been the scene of
several "go-as-you-please" six day

The Industrious Bee.

There are 1900, 900 bee hives in the
United States. Every hive yields, on
an average, little over twenty-five
pounds of honey. The average price at
which honey is sold is twenty-five
cents pound. So that, after paying for
their own board, our bees present us
with revenue of over SS,sOO,OOO. To
reckon it another way, they make a
clear gift of one pound of pure honey to
every man, woman and child in the vast
domain of the United States. In 1860
over % 333, 1888 pounds of wax were
made and given to us by these indus
trious workers. An agricultural ex.
change says the keeping of bees is one
of the most profitable investments that
people can make OF their money. The
profits arising from the sale of sur plus
honey average from SO to 200 per cent
of the capital invested.
