THE FORCE OF THE WIND on
THE.BODT

1t is doubtful whether attention has
been sufficiently directed to the part the
force of the wind plays in producing al
teration of the lood-pressure in localities
OF the surface In full health this may
be an unimportant consideration, the
skin being stimulated to a proper degree
of tension, and the underlying vessels
suffering no compression; but in the case
of persons of low vitality this "bracing"
may not occur or almost instantly sub
side, and congestion of deep organs may
then be mechanically produced by pro-
longed exposure to the force of a strong
wind. Sometimes numbness and even
paralysis of the nerves may result from
the same cause. In the old coaching
days facial paralysis was well-recogniz-
ed result of sitting with the face to the
open window. In the more rapidly-mov-
ing railway carriage of to-day the angle
of incidence and reflection throws the
current OF air on the passenger sitting one
seat removed from the window, or the
current Of air strikes the back of the car
riage and is passed round behind the
necks of the passengers, as any one may
uelllOIlSIraIe Wltn llgHteu matcn. In all
these instances it is the force as much as
the temperature of the jet of air which
produces the results sometimes expert
enced from Sitting i'll a draught." The
question arises whether this little fact,
taken in connection with others, may not
hereafter be found to throw some new
light on the nature of ''cold'' and it's
morbid phenomena. Perhaps, after all,
"cold-catching'' is, in part at least, pro-
cess in which the blood is forciby driven
out of a particular area of the surface,
while the vitality of its nerves is dimin-
ished by mechanical depression. A very
small let of air playing continually On
limited space will give some hyper-sensa-
tive individuals a severe "cold. Lon

CREMATION IN ENGLAND.
From the London Standard.

There has been, as most people know,
an active and jealous cremation society
in England for some years, and this So
ciety has just issued its first ''transac-
! tons" These contain cOnspectus of
ton Of burning for burial in the different
European countries. In England the OBJ
lection raised to the Woking Crematori-
um has somewhat checked the action of
the society, though its Council antici-
pates speedy use for that building.
Abroad cremation is frequent enough
Italy has been particularly forward in the
adoption of the practice, and more than
one municipal body,h has formally approved
of it, while regular crematory exists at
Milan. In Germany, Gotha has for some
dispose of their relatives in this fashion,
and elsewhere in the Empire the practice
appears to be allowed, if not very widely
adopted. The Zurich Society consists of
700 Enthusiastic members In Holland
the advocates of cremation have not vet
obtained legal sanction, but are eagerly
seeking it, and the same is the case in
Belgium. America already cremates,
while France, almost alone of important
countries, seems to have hitherto proved
somewhat insensible to the efforts of the
innovaters. A cremation society was pro-
jected there, but in some mysterious way
it was made political and fell through.
The report is, Of course, like all such re-
ports, a sanguine one. A good deal, how
ever, has yet to be done before cremation
is anything but a crotchet and an excep-
ton. Generally speaking, we believe
public opinion in Englaad is somewhat
against it. The legal difficulties are OBJ
vious and considerable; the sentimental
objections, where they exist at all, are
strong, and the same may be said of the
religious objections, though these are by
no means universal. Enthusiasm, how
ever, seems to be the note of crema-
tionists in England as well as in Zu-
rich, and enthusiasm does much in this
world.

IT1L US POSITION.
(FrOm the London telegraph. J

Italy, instead of being a frebrand in
Europe, occupies a position that goes far
to secure the maintenance of peace. Her
present attitude reminds us forcibly of
Cavour's saying Unsettled questions
have no pity for the repose of nations"
While the Italians were unsatisfied
Europe was never safe Austria and
France, and through them Germany and
Russia, even perhaps England, might at
any time be drawn into war 1t is Occa-
sionly said now that great empires and
vast armies constitute danger. of war,
and there is some truth in the assertion !;
but it must also be remembered that
feeble or divided states and inadequate
forces supply the temptation and excuse
If Spain had been a strong power it could
never have given France the opportunity
it has presentA for centuries. and the di-
visions of Germany and Italy have often
drawn French armies east and south.
The weakness of Turkey and her division
of race and creed have supplied to Russia
the occasion for nearly all her wars. The
poverty of Denmark and the patchwork
annex of Schleswig-Holstein tempted
Prussia in 1864 divided Austria gave
her an opportunity in 1866; while be-
lief that Germany was not united tempted
Napoleon III. in 1870 The masters of
great armies have not such strong induce
ments now France cannot stir a step
without encountering vast hosts while
in Belgium she would provoke all Europe
| Germany and Austria are armed to the
teeth. Italy united, contented, and
strong by land and sea, would no longer
welcome or tolerate the French eagles
sweeping down from the Alps. Germany,
the great conqueror of our epoch, is al
most surrounded by strong states and,
though Holland and Denmark offer
temptations her own position is not 50
secure on other sides as to make aggres-
| sion easy. 1t is also satisfactory to note
that to a great extent, the peace of
Europe rests not only on armaments, but
OH realized national aspirations. There
are exceptions, such as Northern Schles-
wig under Prussian rule, Alsace, torn
from France, and the Tyrol and Trieste,
Italian in tongue, yet not in allegiance
but in none of these cases is there that
oppression from above and bitter resent
ment from below which made Italy and
Hungary restless under Austrian rule

BOYS SMOKING.
From the New York Times.


When boys are advised not to smoke
on hygienic grounds they laugh at the
advice, and speak of it's givers as old
fogies. But careful experiments, lately
made by q physician of repute, prove
that the practice is very injurious. He
took for his purpose thirty-eight boys,
from 9 to Is, who had been in the habit
of smoking, and examined them closely.
In twenty-seven he found obvious hurt
full effects; twenty two having various dis
orders of the circulation and digestion,
palpitation of the heart, and more or less
craving for strong drink; twelve of the
boys were frequently troubled with bleed
ing at the nose; ten had disturbed sleep;
twelve had slight liberation of the mu-
cous membrane of the mouth, which dis
appeared after discrimination Of tobacco
for ten or twelve days. The physician
treated them all for weakness and ner-
vousness, though with little avail, until
they had relinquished smoking, when
health and strength were speedily restor-
ed. Even if it be granted that smoking
is not harmful to adults, there is no doubt
of its harmfulness to the young. DIR.
Ranking, Dr. Richardson, and others,
who have made special study of the
subject, all agree in declaring that it
causes in them impairment growth, pre-
mature virility, and physical degradation.
One Of the worst effects is the provoca-
ton of an appetite for liqour, which in
deed is not confined to the young, but
which grown persons are better able to
manage Where boys drink to excess,
they are almost invariably smokers, and
it is very rare to find man over-fond of
spirits who is not addicted to tobacco.
Men who want to give up drinking usual
ly have to give up smoking at the same
time; for they say that cigar or pipe
generally excites desire to liqour very
hard to control.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND HIS WIFE.

i was surprised to find that Frederick
Douglass was hardly regarded as repre-
sentative man among them. His sympa-
thies are to certain ineradicable extent
with the proud white blood of his father.
He is true man, but constitutionly un-
like his mothers race in many essential
particulars. His wife however, is a full
blooded negress, and [ am told that she
has never learned to read or write He
engaged himself to her when in bondage,
she being a free negress of the same neigh
borhood, and after his escape sentiment
of honor led him back to marry her. He
seems greatly attached to her.
1t is always interesting to meet and to
talk with Mr.. Douglass. His grand head
is now thickly covered with snow-white
hair, and the years begin to tell upon him
in other ways. But he is a majestic-look-
ing figure in pageant, as | saw him at
the White House on New Years Day
Troy Times.

DISADVANTAGES or BEING
PRETTY

The prett,A woman is, from the time
she steps out of the nursery, says Mrs.
DevereuX Blake, the object of attentions
she has not tried to attract, attentions
that often only annoy and embarrass her
from the one sex, and render her the OBJ
ject of envy, and, too often, Of illnatured
suspicion and unkindness to the other.
Plain women or ordinary women are
prone to look upon the brilliant and
beautiful woman as their deadly enemy,
and by tacit consent they combine to
wound or crush the common foe. And
let no one blame them too severely for
this. The ball room, the salon, that is,
the arena of society, has heretofore been
the only one wherein women were per-
mitted to shine no wonder, then, that
the unsuccessful ones have hated her who
won all the laurels Men display the
same jealousy of rivals in their own pro-
fessions, the antagonism of artists, of law
yers, even Of clergymen being notorious,
and women of small natures, having but
one common battle-ground, would be
more than human if they did not envy
the beauty whose charms undeniably out

her first step in society, the pretty
woman finds herself constantly receiving
small stabs that wound heart that may
be true and gentle, although it beats be-
meath a slender waist, and sends the
bright blood to give the last touch of
loveliness to harmonious features Then
it is impossible for handsome woman to
have any comfortable masculine friend
ships. No sooner does man speak to
her than he is at once supposed to be in
love with her, while an ordinary civility
is a proof Of courtship. Married or
single, old or young, all male creatures
are presumed or feared to be lovers, and
she cannot receive the smallest amount
of attention from given individual
without being accused of a desperate
Irritation. In the humble walks of life,
indeed, remarkable personal loveliness is
perhaps the greatest misfortune a girl can
have, since many ladies will not employ
maid servant or seamstress who is hand
some, while person thus endowed is per-
petually pursued by dangerous Of insult
ing admiration.

SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF A Ma

SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF A MAD
SToNE.-CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, April 21.-
D. G. McGuilken, of Knoxville, Marion
county, Iowa, has arrived in town from
Paris, this county, where he has been to
visit maidstone. He was bitten in the
hand by mad dog last week. The
stone, which is about the size of chest
nut, is flat on one side and looks like a
piece Of white sponge. It's owner pune
tured the patients arm with a needle,
and then made the application It held
fast thus indicating that the man had
been badly poisoned. The stone would
fall off after filling up with dark-colored
substance; when it was cleansed with hot
milk and water. The operation lasted
over seven hours, when the stone refused
to attach itself to the arm any
more, which was evidence that the poi
son had all been drawn out. The poor
fellow was very happy indeed to feel re-
lleved from the mad-dog bite, though he
was badly frightened during the opera
ton, when the inside of his hand turned
spotted black and white, like the coach
dog that bit him.

The Albany Evening Journal thinks
twenty of the seventy New York dele
gates to the Chicago Convention will re-
fuse to obey the Grant instructions, but
will vote for Blaine; and The Philadel-
phia Press says twenty-five of the fifty
eight delegates from Pennsylvania will
likewise vote for Blaine, Notwithstanding
the instructions to vote as unit for Grant.
But we predict that the result will show
that both those State delegations will
deem it their duty to obey instructions
when the convention meets.

SALISBURY ITEMS.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Weather very warm had 4 refreshing
rain on Saturday evening our farmers are
all busy with both wheat and hay harvest.
The wheat has ripened fully two weeks
earlier than usual, and therefore needed
harvesting before the hay, which isa very
rare occurrence. Some of our oldest inhabi-
t,nts say they do not remember when tho
wheat ripcned as early as it did this season.
Our farmers all complain OF the scarcity of
harvest help. A. least one hundred extra
hands could have found employment
through the harvesting season in Salisbury
township.
Mr. Frank Wanner, met with 4 mislap
a few days ago. He hItched one of his
mules to Il $500 buggy, and after driving
short distance the mule became un-
manageable, upset the buggy, spilled out
the occupants (Mr Wanncr and Abram
Patton) bruising and cutting them consid-
erably, but both are able to be about
again. The mule then ran off, leaving the
top of the buggy on the fence at the first
turn of the road. and wound up by wreck
ing the balance at the next corner. Mr..
Wanner says the next time he drives
a mule it will be in horse cart.
An auction of second hand clothing was
held in Possum Hollow rather secluded
place in the Welsh mOuntain-hy Il negro
from some other point. The supposition
is that the goods were stolen property.
The nomination OF Hancock and En-
lish has created more enthusiasm among
the Democrats of Salisbury than was ever
noticeable before, and all concede that the
nomination is a strong one and that the
ticket will be victorious. 1t is a hard matter
for the opposition to trump up objections
to our most illustrious nominee. Old Sails
bury can be relied on to do it's whole duty
on Nov. 2, and many of IIancock's friends
already are talking Of going to Washing
ton on the 4th of March to attend his in
auguration.
