and according to the forms of law, and
that tbs office was deliberately stolen,
from him by the Republican managers.
For this thefS,. Mr.. Garfield is more

Feeding on Ones Self.

When the human body suffers from d
lack of food it practically feeds upon it.
self and abSorbs its own substance as
food. Every one knows that certain ami
mails normally exhibit this process of
feeding upon themselves under certain
conditions. The humps of the camel or
those of the Indian cattle visibly de-
crease, and may disappear altogether, if
the animals are starved. A superfiuous
store of fat, in other words, is made use
of under the exigency of hunger. So it
is with the bears and other animals
which hibernate or sleep through the
winters cold. The bear, which in au-
tumn retires to winter quarters in we'll
favored condition, comes forth in spring
lean and meaegr. His fats have been
absorbed in his nutrition, and the sue
ceeding summer will lay the foundation
of new stores of staple food to be utilized
during the next winter. With man, we
repeat, the phenomena of starvation are
essentially similar. In the starving man
the fats of the body are the first sub
stances to disappear. The fats lose
weight to the extent of SO per cent;
next in order the blood suffers then the
internal organs, such as liver and spleen,
suffer the muscles, bones, and nervous
system being the last to lose weight. In
due time, also, the heat of the body de-
creases to such an extent that ultimately
death in case of starvation is really a
case of death from loss of heat When
the temperature falls to about 30 deg.
Fahrenheit death ensues. This decrease
arises from the want of bodily fuel or
food but the immediate cause of the
fatal ending of such case is decrease
of temperature. 1t is likewise curious
fact that the application of external
warmth is even more ef1ectual in reviving
animals dying of starvation than a sup
ply of food. In exhausting diseases in
man, in which the phenomena are strik-
ingly like, and, indeed, thoroughly
analogous to those of starvation, the
same facts are Observation-Disclosures

A Fish Story.

AS a gentleman was fishing in the
mill-dam below Winchester, Va, he ac-
cidentally threw his line across strong
white duck, which, suddenly turning
round, twisted the gut around her own
neck, and fixed the hook of the dropper-
fly in her breast. Thus entangled and
hooked, she soon broke off the gut
above the dropper, and sailed down the
stream with the end of the fly trailing
behind her. She had not proceeded far
before trout of about pound and
half took the fly effectually. Then COM
menced a struggle as extraordinary as
ever was witnessed-a duck at the drop
per and large trout at the end of the
fly. Whenever the trout exerted itself
the terror of the duck was very conspicu-
Gus it huttered its wings and dragged
the fish. When the trout was more qui-
ct the duck evidently gave way, and suf-
fered herself to be drawn under some
bushes, where the shortness of the gut
did not allow the trout to shelter herself
The ducks head was frequently drawn
under the water. BY chance, however,
the gut cot across q branch which hung
downward into the water; and the duck,
taking advantage of the purchase which
this gave her, dragged her opponent
from his hole and obliged him to show
his head above water Then it became
q contest of life and death. The trout
was in its last agonies, and the duck in
very weak state, when the gut broke
and suffered them to depart their own

Heart Disease.

When an individual is reported to
have died of "disease of the heart, we
are in the habit of regarding it as an in
evitable event, as something which
could not have been foreseen or pre-
vented, and it is too much the habit, when
persons suddenly fall down dead, to re-
port the cheat" as the cause ; this ST.
lences all inquiry and investigation, and
saves the trouble and Inconvenience OF a
repulsive "post-mortem. A truer re-
port would have tendency to save
many lives. 1t is through report of
opium-eater is let off into the grave,
which covers at once his folly and his
crime; the brandy-drinker, too, quietly
slides round the corner thus, and is
heard of no more in short, this ere
port" of "disease of the heart is the
mantle of charity which the polite
Coroner and the sympathetic physician
throw around the graves of "genteel
people"
At scientific congress at Strasbourg
it was reported that of sixty-six persons
who had suddenly died an immediate
and faithful post-mortem showed that
only two persons had any heart affection
whatever-one sudden death only, In
thirty from disease of the heart.
Nine out of the sixty-six died of apoplexy
one out of every seven; while forty-six
more than two out of threaded of
lung affections, half of them of "con-
gestion of the lungs" that is, the lungs
were so full of blood they could not
work; there was not room for air enough
to get in to support life. 1t is then of
considerable practical interest to know
some of the common, everyday causes
of this congestion of the lungs" a dis
ease which, the figures above being true,
kills three times as many persons at short
warning as apoplexy and heart disease
together. Cold feet; tight shoes; tight
clothing; costive bowels; sitting still until
chilled through after having been warmed
up by labor or a long, hasty walk; going
too suddenly from close, heated room,
as q lounger, or listener, or speaker.
while the body is weakened by continued
application, or abstinence, or heated by
the effort of long address; these are
the fruitful causes of sudden death i'm the
form of congestion of the lungs" but
which, being falsely reported as eds
ease of the heart, and regarded Ms an
inevitable event, throws people off their
guard, instead of pointing them plainly
to the true causes, all of which are avoid
able, and very easily so, as a general
rule, when the mind has been once in
diligently drawn to the subject. Halls

A BOdie Snake Story.

George Finney, driver of the Virginia
and Bodie stage, says that snakes OF
several species, including hoops and rat
tiers, are getting to be SO plentiful along
the road at this end of the route that it
is dangerous to leave the coach, and it
is great wonder he hasn't lost his team
before this. In coming in the other
day he drove into lot of snakes that
literally covered the road for about 500
yards. He could not turn out, SO he sent
the silk into the horses and dashed
through on dead run. How the team
escaped injury puzzles him. One big
hoopsnake, about ten feet long, that was
lying in the center of the road, as soon
as it heard the coach coming uncoiled
itself just as the team was passing over
it, and made a vicious strike with its
spiked, bony tail at the belly of the nigh
wheeler, but missed him and struck the
pole. The force of the blow was so
great that the tail was driven into the
hard wood some three inches. The
snake, being unable to Withdraw it, was
dragged along for about 100 yards, until
it was killed by one of the wheelers
stepping ON it and breaking the spike.
The venomous reptile gave n frightful
yell, denoting pain mingled with rage,
as it expired, and, before reaching the
next station the wagon-pole was swelled
up as big as an ordinary saw-log, while
poison was dripping out from under the
irons at each end like green sap from a
freshly-cut sapling. -Bodie (CoL NeUs.

The Importance of Vegetables.

Says writer on dietary The vege-
table-eater can extract from his food all
the principles necessary for the growth
and support of the body, as well as for
the production of heat and force, pro-
vided that he selects vegetables which
contain all the essential elements named.
But he must for this purpose consume
the best cereals-wheat or oats or the
eglimes-beans, peas, or lentils or he
must swallow and digest large weight
of vegetable matter of less nutritious
value, and, therefore, at least containing
one element in large excess in order to
obtain all the elements he needs. Thus
the Irishman requires for his support ten
or eleven pounds of potatoes daily, which
contains chiefly starch, of which he con-
sumes a superHuous quantity, very little
nitrogen, and scarcely any fat hence he
obtains when he can some buttermilk or
bacon, or a herring, to supply the de-
ficiency. The Highlander, living MAIN
ly on oatmeal, requires much smaller
weight this grain contains not only
starch but much nitrogen, and a fair
amount OF fat, although not quite SUI
ficient for his purpose, which is usually
supplied by adding milk or little bacon
to his diet. On the other hand, the
man who lives chiefly or largely on flesh
and eggs as well as bread obtains pre-
cisely the same principles, but served
in concentrated form, and q weight OF
about two or three pounds of such food
is a full equivalent to the Irishman's ten
or eleven pounds of potatoes and extras.

Spontaneous Combustion.

"That animal bodies are liable to
spontaneous combustion" says Prof.
Weissman, els fact which was we'll
known to the ancients. Many cases
have been adduced as examples, which
were no doubt merely cases of individ-
uals who were highly susceptible to
strong electrical excitation." A certain
gentleman, known TO the professor, on
IL cold, keen winter night, retired to his
chilly sleeping-room. He had worn silk
stockings over his wooden ones during
the day. On undressing for bed, as he
drew off his silk stockings, he heard
sharp, cracking noise, but paid no
special attention to it. In the morning,
on looking for his stockings, he found
them consumed to ashes, without having
set fire to the chair on which they were
laid. Still more wonderful and awful is
the assurance that the wife of DIR.
Treilas, physician to the late Archbishop
OF Toledo, Spain, emitted infammable
perspiration of such nature that when
tue ribbon she wore was taken from her
and exposed to the cold air it instantly
took fire, and flashed with sparks OF fire
like lively "Roman candle" And
Prof. Hafmester, in the Berlin Trans
actions" 1875, records case OF the
same nature respecting peasant, whose
linen took fire, whether it was laid up in
a box, when wet or hung up in the open
air. A case of this kind recently oc-
Cured Mt the abattoir IN Jersey City.
During the recent spell of hot weather
one of the workmen threw on his blue
linen blouse, smoking with perspiration.
IN, -, To-
few minutes it burst into corruscation
OF sparks and literally consumed itself.
One of the most remarkable cases of
spontaneous combustion on record is that
OF the Countess Cornelia Zangari and
Bandi, of Cessna, Italy. The lady, who
was in the sixty-second year of her age,
retired to bed in her usual health. Here
she spent about three hours in familiar
conversation with her maid and in say
ing her prayers, and, having at last fall
Ell asleep, the door of her chamber was
shut. AS the maid was not summoned
at the usual hour she went into the bed
room to summon her mistress, but, re-
ceiving no answer, she opened the
window and saw the corpse on the floor
in the most dreadful condition. At the
distance of four feet from the bed there
was heap of ashes part of the body
was half burnt. the stockings remaining
uninjured; most of the body was re-
duced to ashes. The air in the room
was charged with floating SCOT (animal
carbon). The bed was not injured.
From an examination of all the circum-
stances of the case it was generally sup
posed that an internal combustion had
taken place; that the lady had risen
from her bed to cool herself, and that on
the way to open the window the COM
bustion had overpowered her and con-
sumed her body by process Ill which
no flame was produced which could ig-
mite the furniture on the floor.
