A MOUSE CURE.

Hitherto there has been no remedy, says
the Homeopathic Re0ieaO, which could be re-
garded as a specific for tetanus. At last,
however, an ingenious French physician has
apparently hit upon remedy before which
tetanus yields as readily as toothache yields
to the dentists forceps, and which viii, of
course, supersede curare and other inferior
remedies. The French doctor in question
was called in to attend a lady suffering from
tetanus. In his report he says that she was
married woman of thirty-one years of age,
and that previous to his visit her family
physician had tried every known remedy for
tetanus, including curare, without producing
any effect. The patient was lying on her
back with her jaws tightly closed, and the
muscles of her throat and chest were so rigid
that she was unable to utter sound. The
doctor at once went out and procured live
mouse of the usual size and voracity, to the
tail of which he attached strong horse
hair, Placing the mouse at. the foot of the
bed, he permitted it to walk the entire
length of the patients body. No sooner did
the patient notice the mouse than she sprang
up, loudly calling to the attendants to take
it off, and denouncing the doctor as horrid
heartless wretch, who ought to be guillo-
tined on the spot. There was no recur-
renee of the symptoms of tetanus. In fact.
the doctor adds that the lady's jaws were so
thoroughly and permanently unlocked that
the husband, who is, of course, ignorant of
law, has threatened to begin an action for
damages against him.

RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH PLAY
ERS.

In 1873 the Lord Chamberlain permitted
the reopening of the Haymarket Theatre for
the performances of French company.
The public was justly indignant. An arbi-
actors from the stage, which was yet to be
free to foreign Adventures. A riot was the
consequence. Two Justices of the Peace,
and a company of the Guards under the
command of Colonel Pulteney, were present
to preserve order. By way of protest the
crowded audience joined in singing vocifer-
ously the "Roast Beef of Old England"
and heartily applauded their own musical
efforts The Justices warned the rioters
that it was the Kings command that the
play should be performed, and that all Of
tenders would be made prisoners. The cur
tain drew up, and discovered the French
actors standing between the files of grena-
diers; the foreigners were to be forced upon
the British public by means of British bay
onets and frelocks. The pit rose, appealing
to the magistrates against such oppressive
measures, and asserting the legal right of
the audience to manifest their disapproval
of any plays or players. The magistrates
thought it expedient to yield; the troops
were ordered from the STAGE and the per-
Torrance commenced with the comedy of
"L'Embarras de Richesse" But the voices
of the actors were drowned by the cries and
cat-calls of the spectators An attempt
made to execute dance was rendered abor-
tive by the finging upon the stage of bush
els of peas. Finally the curtain was low
credit was like the striking of fag-and
the triumph of the audience was complete.
II will venture to say" writes Mr.. Victor,
who was present, " that at no battle gained
over the French by the immortal Marlbor-
ough could the shouting have been more
joyous than on this occasion" The excited
mob then proceeded to insult the French
and Spanish Ambassadors, who had attended
the theatre, and to cut the traces of their
carriages. Mr.. Victor regrets these ex-
cesses but what else," he asks, could
be expected at time when several of our
own poor players were in jail for debt, de-
priyed of their livelihood by an act of Par
lament? Was that a juncture for COM
pany of French strollers to appear by au-
thority ?"-AW the Year Round.

ROASTED TO DEATH BY THE SUN.

Dr. Schweinfurth, in lecture which he
recently delivered at the Berlin Geographi-
cal Society on the subject of his latest ex-
plorations in Central Africa, gave his hear
ers thrilling account of the mode in which
capital punishment is inflicted upon crimi-
nails by the Al-Quadjis, small tributary Off
shoot of the great and powerful Djour peo
pie. The malefactor condemned to die is
bound to post firmly driven into the
ground in some open place where no trees
afford shade, and is there slowly roasted to
tleath-not by any artificial means involving
waste of fuel, but by the natural heat of
the suns rays as they reach our earth In Its
equatorial regions. To protract his suffer-
ings and to avert his too speedy end by SUM-
stroke, the ingenious Al-Quadjis cover their
erring compatriots head with fresh green
leaves, which efectually shield his brain
from Phoebus' darts. No such protection is
however accorded to his body, which grad
uaIy dries up, shrinks together, and ulti-
mately becomes carbonized. One chance of
salvation is open to the roasting man, while
as yet he is not completely "done to death"
If cloud pass between the sun and his
place of torment, he is at once cast loose
from his post and becomes an object of
popular reverence, as mighty magician in
whose behalf the supernatural power have
designed directly to intervene. But clouds
seldom interfere with the administration of
justice on the days chosen for public execu-
lions by the ALQuadjis authorities; at
least, that appears to be Dr. Schweinfurth's
experience of African weather as far as it
bears upon the judicial roasting of malefac-
tors.

A Joke on q Bishop.

A good story is told Of well-known
Episcopal Bishop. The Bishop is very
staid, glum sort of good man, and the
last one in the world to enjoy joke, es-
pecially one on himself. A waggish
friend, meeting him in a car, astonished
him by exclaiming, after a reference to
his high-church principles:
"Why, Bishop, I hear that on Easter
you appear in your pulpit with crown
and palm"
"Whatl" exclaimed the Bishop in as
constituent. ''Nonsense You know
better"
eyes" repeated the other, "with a
crown on your head and palm in your
hand"
SIT is libel! Who could have start
ed such a story?" responded the dis
tinguished prelate, warmly. "But
pshaw it is idle to talk about it; it is so
absurd"
The conversation was changed, but
the Bishop did not forget his friends
words; they preyed on his mind and
worried him; he was afraid the ibelous,
atrocious report would get into the pa
pers, and then it would become a popu-
larly-accepted fact which there would be
no denying.
He sought for his friend the next day
at his Office, for the purpose of learning
the origin of the outrageous story; but
the other who is considerable Of a wag,
sorely vexed the spirit of the accom-
plished prelate before he would make
any satisfactory explanation, and then,
with laugh and twinkle Of the eyes,
he exclaimed:
"Why, Bishop, haven't you a crown
on your head, and palm in your hand?
See"
The Bishop was so much pleased with
the explanation that he succeeded in
raising laugh; though the expression
of fierce solemnity that settled on his
features, as he left shortly after, leads
his friend to believe that he did not thor
ourhlv enioy the Joke.

Growth Of the Hair.

There are three reasons why women's
hair is longer than mems: First, she has
no hair growth on her face, and so has q
larger supply of hair-forming material
for the scalp; second, the diameter of
her hair being larger, it is less liable to
break third, being usually less engaged
In mental labor or business worry, she.
has a more constant and even supply OF
blood to the scalp. In nations where
the hair of the men is usually worn short,
the fashion of long hair in the male Is
regarded as protest against church and
state, and against general customs, taste
and thought; in Austria it is made po-
itical offense to be so attired.
The growth of the hair is the most
rapid in the young and middle-aged, and
in those living an outdoor life. At the
age of 80, if man live so long, and IL
his hair and beard have been close
trimmed, he has cut off six and half
inches Of hair annually, or about thirty
feet in all.
The hair is the least destructible part
of the body. The hair of the ancient
Thebans is, after lapse of 1000 years,
found to have survived the tombs. The
Pyramids and the Sphinx are crumbling,
but some of the wigs of human hair, ex-
posed to the mold and moisture of their
entombed apartments, are less decayed
than the monuments themselves.
There are three coloring pigments to
the hair-yellow, red and black, and all
the shades are produced by the mixture
of these three colors. In pure gold yell
low hair there is only the yellow pig
ment !; in red, the red mixed with yellow;
in dark, the black mixed with red and
yellow In the hair of the negro there
is as much red pigment as in the reddest
hair, and had not the black been most
developed-perhaps by the action of the
sun-the hair of all negroes would be as
fiery red as the reddest hair Of an En-
glishnlan.

Historical SnoW.Storms.

Snow-storms have more than once
played an important part in history. At
Towton, the decisive battle of the Wars
of the Roses, the Lancastrian soldiers,
having the snow driven in their faces by
strong wind, fell upon each other by
mistake, and were easily routed. In one
of the numerous wars between Denmark
and Sweden, the Danes escaladed Swed-
ish fortress at night by means of the
snow that had drifted against the wall
One of the Jacobite mobiles, condemned
after the rising In Ills, was saved by
snow storm which delayed the arrival of
the death-warrant for two days, during
which time his friends contrived his es-
cape. Napoleon's column of attack at
Eylau, in 1907, which should have fallen
upon the Russian flank, was SO blinded
by the flying snow as to come out right
in front of the great central battery, and
was almost exterminated. The same
cause occasioned the French defeat at
Pultusk month earlier; while the de-
struction of the British army by the At
ghans, In 1842, was materially aided by
snowfall which blocked the passes sever
al fathoms deep, rendering any hsig tessz
India impossible.

CARD ETIQUETTE.

The card should be written or printed,
unless your name happens to be Blank,
when blank card would not be inappro-
pirate. 1t might, however, make the ladies
to whom you send it look Blank in the
face.
White cards are considered in the best
taste. In the best colored society this rule
need not be strictly adhered to.
The gentleman's card should contain
nothing except the name and address of the
caller. But it is allowable to omit the adj
dress, which saves embarrassment if the
gentleman is temporarily stopping at the
work-house.
The titles of "Hon.," "Mr." "Esq.,"
etc., are not allowed on calling cards, but if a
member of Congress is your opponent in
poker, you may "call" the honorable gen.
tleman and see what cards he holds.
At a hotel, when calling on any one, send
your card and await a reply in the reception
room. 1t is not considered the correct
thing in polite society to visit the bar more
than twice while waiting.
If two or more ladies are in the house
hold, the turning down of corner signi-
fies that the card is for all the ladies' Co.
ing around corner Immediately after the
interview signifies that you want to see a
man.
Cards may be left Immediately where a
death is known, particularly if you are an
undertaken; but call of sympathy and
coincidence is not to be made until week
after the bereavement, when it is allowable
to present the bill, which is all the good it
does, frequently.
In leaving the city for permanent resi-
dence abroad, it is customary to send out
cards to intimate friends, adding TO the
name s'P. P. C."-Presents Parting Com
pliments. 1t is also delicate reminder
that you have secured berth in Pullman
Palace Car.

A HISTORICAL LEG.

The Marquis Of Anglesea's leg was for
some years almost as famous as the chival-
rous Marquis himself, so far superior was
it to anything that had previously been
produced for similar purpose. This
gallant officer had leg shattered by a
cannon ball at the battle of Waterloo; he
underwent two amputations, one on the bat
tlefeld, by an army surgeon, the other
by Mr.. (afterward Sir Everar0 Home, af-
ter his return to England. Then Mr..
Gray set to work. He took cast in wax
of the stump of the poor unfortunate leg,
transferred the impression to tough and
light desicated willow, and ingeniously in
troduced strings of catgut to represent
that (so-calleD tendon of Achilles, which
gives elasticity and propelling power. 1t
is great thing to say that the leg retained
its proud position for nearly forty years,
until the Marquis, as a venerable Field
Marshal, closed his career at the age Of
eighty-fve-not the same leg, of course;
for an artificial leg, like boot, will wear
out in course Of time. As experience grew
and further observations were made the
original Anglesea leg gradually made way
for better. The Marquis looked so well
on horseback that the admiring public
could scarcely believe one of his legs to be
artificial. The string of catgut at the back
of the heel extended the foot when straight
ened; spring inserted in the instep lifted
the toes from the ground when the leg
bent in walking. Nevertheless, nature
had not been sufficiently initiated in the
first Anglesea leg; there was no lateral
motion in the ankle-joint; the wearer could
not walk on uneven ground without ex-
periencing an unpleasant amount Of jar
and strain Moreover, there was too much
creak and rattle with the metal work, and
the wearer had to keep near at hand a
small oil-can, wherewith to lubricate his
Joints. These inconvenience were got rid
Of one by one-a great improvement being
the introduction of ball-and-socket ankle
joint, and another being the substitution of
India-rubber for metal in some Of the
parts.-AU tie Year ROwnd

RAILROAD ENGINEERS IN INDIA.

Many people came up to see what we were
doing, and all begged for a peep through
my binoculars. They thought the double
sextant which I used for the angles some
magical instrument, and the Shaikh begged
of me to compute his horoscope, and was
much disappointed when he found I was
unable to do it. While this was going on
the Muezzin called to midday prayers from
the roof of the most elevated point in the
village. In an instant we were left alone.
When prayers were over the Shaikh invited
US into his house and gave us coffee and
pipes. Many of the villagers entered into
conversation about the railway. One old
man said he had long wished to go to Bagh-
dad, and wanted to know whether, if the
railway was constructed, he would be able
to go there for nothing? When told that he
would have to pay, he said he did not see
much good in it, as all he would have to do
now would be to load some camels with pro-
visions for the road, mount his mare, and
start. This he said, would cost him moth
ing, and he could not understand that the
railway could be cheaper, though the fare
would be less than the cost of the corn and
other things he would have to take, as they
were all his own.-Our Future HSghacag-

TRUTH.

There are persons whom you can always
believe, because you know they have the
habit of telling the truth. They do not
"color story or enlarge bit of news in
order to make it sound fine or remarkable.
There are others whom you hardly know
whether to believe or not, because they
"stretch" things so. A trifing incident
grows in size, but not in quality, by pass
ing through their mouths. They take a
small fact or slender bit of news and pad il
with added words, and paint it with high
colored adjectives, until it is largely unreal
and gives false impression, And one does
not like to listen to folks when SO much
must be "allowed for shrinkage."

KILLED AT HER WEDDING.

In the midst of the great events of the
war such incidents as the following were
comparatively unnoticed, and left to be long
afterward related in print: Miss Annie
Pickens, daughter of the Governor of South
Carolina, was to be married on April %,
1868, in Charleston to Lieutenant Andrew
de Rochelle. The wedding party were as
sembled in the Pickens residence, and the
clergyman was asking the bride if she was
ready, when shell from Union gun in
the harbor broke into the room and burst
Nine persons were hurt, but only Miss Pick
ens's wounded proved mortal She bore the
pain with wonderful fortitude and was IN
moved when informed she had only an hour
or two to live. De Rochelle said that he
would like to have her die his wife, and the
poor girl smiled in assent. The guests re-
member the scene as far more pitifl than
they can describe. The bride lay on sofa,
her white dress dabbled in blood and her
hair disheveled, while her pallid face was SO
wrung with agony that her efforts to smile
became futile. The ceremony was hurried
" performed, though the brides eyes,"
was in faint, labored whisper, and her lips
hardly moved in response to her husbands
kiss. She died Immediately afterward.

DOGS AND THE WEATHER.

Dogs are not without their weather-lore.
Thus, when they eat grass it is a sign of
rain; if they roll on the ground and scratch,
or become drowsy and stupid, change in
the weather may be expected. As indeed in
the case of the cat, most of their turnings
and twistings are supposed to be prognosti-
cations of something There are numerous
other items of folklore connected with the
dog to which we can only incidentally al
lude. Thus in Ireland it is considered IN
lucky to meet a barking dog early in the
morning, and On the other hand just as for
tunate for one to enter house the first
thing in the day. They are commonly said
to possess a wonderful instinct for discern
ing character, generally avoiding in-tem-
pered persons, and making friends with any
stranger who happens to be of kind and
cheerful disposition. The life Of dog is
sometimes said to be bound up with that of
his master or mistress. When either dies,
the other cannot live. 1t is curious that this
faithful companion of man should have be-
come term of reproach. Thus we find
various phrases, such as dog-bolt," . dogs
face" "dog's leach, "dog-trick, " &C., all
of which were intended to convey the idea
of contempt. In days gone by it was a
common practice in the country house for
the dog to turn the spit at the kitchen fire,
custom which is thus described by DR..
Caius, founder of the college at Cambridge
which bears his name
