To an impudent accusation oppose n
short and humble answer.
Impatience deprives man of move
ment and impels him to danger.
To live amidst general regard is
like sitting in sunshine, "calm and
sweet"
True quietness of heart is got by re-
sisting our passions, not by obeying
them.
One had better be cheated agreeably
than pass ones life in watching not to
be cheated.
Passion makes those fools who other
wise are not so, and shows those to be
fools who are so.
He who will take no advice, but be
always his own counselor, is sure Ito
have fool often for his client.
The three most difficult things are
to keep a secret, to forget an injury, and
to make good use of leisure.
1t is n sign of wisdom to be willing to
receive instruction; the most intelli,
gent sometimes stand in ne ed oft.

A Heavy Sleeper.

The Louisville Courier Journal says:
Alexander Emerson, youth living
in the west end of this city, has for the
past six months been subject to very
peculiar and unusual attacks of somnia.
The first indication he has of an attack
is a severe nervous headache, coming
on soon after breakfast. In a short
time, usually by nine O'Clock, he gets
drowsy, lies down, and Immediately
goes into deep sleep, which continues
for seventy-two hours-three days and
nights. He can be aroused with diff
Guilty, and as soon as left undisturbed
goes to sleep again. On the third morn
ing his sheep is disturbed by severe
nervous chills, and as these pass off in
an hour or two, he relapses into q sound
sleep which continues until the next
morning, when he wakes up very much
exhausted. During his sleep he has nc
inclination to eat or drink, but rather
an aversion for Ell ther when aroused

Ahont the MaRnetic NeedIe.

Why the magnetic needle points to
the north is thus explained by Profes-
sor G.. L. Patterson, fthe United States
coast survey. The earth is itself a
magnet, and attracts the needle Just as
ordinary magnets do, and it is found to
be affected by the action of the sun in a
manner not yet fully understood. The
magnetic poles of the earth are not in
line with the geographical poles, but
make an angle with them of nearly
twentJ-three degrees. At the present
time the northern magnetic pole is near
the arctic circle, on the meridian of
Omaha, and, from the nature of the
case, the pole may better be described as
a region rather than a fixed point The
needle does not everywhere point to the
true astronomical north, but varies
within certain limits. At San Francisco
it points seventeen degrees east of north,
aAd at Calais, Me-, as much to the west.
At the northern magnetic pole a bal
aueed needle points with its north end
downward in a plumb line; at San
Francisco it dips about sixty-three de-
Rreas, and at the southern magnetic pole
the south end points directly down
The action of the earth upon a magnetic
needle at its surface is of about the same
force as that of a hard steC magnet forty
inches long, strongly magnetized, at I
distance of one foot. 1t is very probable
that a study of dynamo-electri'
machines, now 50 much USED IN tn
electric illuminations, will reveal sool
some far-reaching truths regaroin
magnetism in general.

PROLONGED stOOplna.Ovsr Work.

The London Lancet calls attention TO
the danger incurred in the case of young
girls by prolonged stooping-over work
and crossing of the legs. Doctor NAL
herbe, with view of obviating these
evils, has invented plan which consists
of fixing to the edge of an ordinary
table sort of cushion, on which the
work can be easily fastened or spread
out, as on the knee. A framework OF
the simplest description admits of the
raising or lowering of this cushion, so
that work may be done sitting or stand.

column is maintained perfectly straight,
while the facility of change of position
greatly lessons fatigue. To test the in
vention, Doctor Malherbe introduced il

with good effect on two pupils, who had
tendency to malformation.

Aerial Navigation.

The MtlitaT- WochenbIGn prints n de-
scription OF an aerial machine, designed
bv a Spanish artillery officer, the con.
struction of which is, in the opinion
of the German paper. based on correct
principles. The machine, which is of
considerable extension horizontally,
but OF very small vertical dimensions,
can be made to ascend or descend at
pleasure, and can, according to the state
ment of the inventor, be turned in any
required direction. 1t consists of two
air bags, as they are called by the in
ventor, one of which is filled with
hydrogen gas and the other with COM
pressed air. When the latter is so far
Tiled that its weight, together with that
of the car and its load, exactly counter
balances the lifting power of the for
mer, the machine will naturally neither
rise nor fall. II the compressed air is
allowed to escape from its bag the
weight will be reduced and the machine
will rise, the altitude it will attain de-
pending upon the amount of compressed
air liberated. If, on the other hand
il is desired to make the machine de-
scend, air can, by Simple mechanical
contrivance. be pumped into the COM
pressed air-bag until the total weight
of the machine exceeds the buoyancy or
lifting power of the hydrogen bag. To
change the direction of the machine a
rudder is provi0ed, to be worked by n
small steam engine, while by simple
arrangement the position of the center
gravity of the whole apparatus can be
altered so that the resistance of the air
shall effect the machine in the most
favorable manner possible. The ma
chine, in fact, is designed to act the
same way that bird does. When q
bird wishes to change the direction OF
its fight, it lowers one wing and raises
the other, and as it works the latter
rapidly and diminishes the speed of its
flight, the resistance of the air on the
oblIque surface presented to it turns the
bird around into tie required course.
In the new aerial machine this principe
is applied; but whether it will be posi-
BILE to overcome the difficulties which
may arise remains to be seen.

In regard to Mr.. Flden's plans and in

the nomination at Cincinnati That is
settled, and you may rest assured of it. "
"Then why does het not relieve his
party of the embarrassment he is causing

For this reason, replied the M. @.
"There are candidates for the nomination
whom Tlden is anxious to defeat He
feels very bitterly toward Hendricks,
who has certainly done very wrong, and
has been very indiscreet in abusing
Tilden. Now, first of all, Tlden, wants
to prevent Hendricks from getting the
nomination, and he thinks he can accom-
i phsh this by keeping his friends together,
and having them organized and In har-
mony with his wishes In the convention.
He is also opposed to Bayard and Thur

Am Empress Dead-The Result.

The death of the Empress of Russia,
happening at the same time with the
practical resignation of Gartschakef, who
has gone to a German watering place, is
an event of great political Importance.
It can be safely said that the Czarina,
who was made so horribly unfortunate
by her husbands love adventures, carries
in her coffin the internal peace of Russia.
Now viii begin the fight between the
prof German tendencies iof the Gear ex-
cited by his mistress, the German-P Polish
Princess Dolgoroucki, the Glow and
public woman, as Baron Shiskine said
In the Washington salon, and the ultra
Russian tendencies OF his son, the Czaro-
witch, whose female friend is aigenuine
Muscovite, and who is anxious to go to
war with his beloved grand d-uncle at Ber-
lin, Kaiser Wilhelm. But it must be
reckoned that before such q war can be
made revolution will be necessary in
st Petersburg, according to the usages
Of the Imperial Palace, and something
like the awful tragedy in which the Gar

Flowing Away the Cattle Plague.

The, strange ceremony of plowins
around a village in order drive away the
cattle plague recently took place in one
of the villages of Russia. In the InontL
of March the cattle plague broke out in
the village of Ozersk, in the province OF
Kaluga. In few days thirteen cows
died, and the peasants were panic
stricken. After warm discussions it was
decided to drive out the plague after the
manner of our forefathers in similar
emergencies, that Is, by plowing around
the, village. On March 18th, midnight,
all the women of the village assembled
at spot, to which were brought the
things needed for that half Pagan, half
Christian ceremony, to-wit, holy image,
a plow, harness, bag Of sand, and q
pail of tar. A STRONG girl was harnessed
to the plow, and with the assistance OF
two other girls, proceeded to pull it
along. A young girl carrying the holy
image (ikoma) headed the procession;
she was followed by an old woman with
the sand-bag, who, threw the sand right
and left, the plowing party trying to
cover the sand in blowing, while the
woman with the tar pail besprinkled the
soil with tar, A crowd. of girls and
women followed, each carrying some
article with which to make noise
scythes, tin cans, iron pans, boilers
basins, pokers and other utensils.
Though the noise made was indescriba-
2 bic, and the women's yelling and shout
ing incessant, they were Intellectual tc

enjoyed the spectacle. In his Journal he
enters his views of this social obligation
laid upon the English nobility of being
expected to amuse the populace for a
certain number of hours daily. He pre-
ferred his own country, he said, as the
nobility paid others to do their work,
even to dance for them. How much

crowd on our Sundays this season, creep
ing up and down, the ladies displaying
their wonderous taste in dress, their red
parasols, their moss-colored dresses, with
amber bead necklaces and fringes, their
high-heeled boots, their terrible laced-in
waists, their glittering head: trimmings,
the pale blue, the heliotropes, the pea
