that men eminent in medicine ought to

benefit of science and learning, and not
only to cure his disease, but to see that
they are prevented. When was med

An officer of the Broadway squad,

ferson market police court, two youth
full offenders, named Harman Hops,
aged 10, and Charles Bardwell, the same

prisoners, testified that he was passing
the corner of Twenty-sixth street and
Broadway at $50 o'clock in the evening
when he was met by the prisoners and
asked where he was going. Young
Powers innocently replied that he was
going to pay his fathers rent, at the
same time exhibiting the money, which
amounted to 1856. A few moment later

Lightning Flashes.


The destructive effects of lightning are
familiar to all of you. All the more or
dinary effects can easily be reproduced
by the help of Leyden jars on a small
scale. How small you may easily con-
ceive when l tell you that three-foot
spark is considered long one, even
from our most powerful machines, while
it is quite certain that lightning flashes
often exceed mile in length, and some
times extend to four and five miles.
One recorded observation, by trust
worthy observer, seems to imply dis
charge over a total length of nearly ten
miles. When tree is struck by violent
discharge it is usually split up literally
into mere fibers. A more moderate dis
charge may rupture the channels through
which the sap flows, and thus the tree
may be killed without suffering any ap-
parent external damage. These results
are usually assigned to the sudden vapor-
ization of moisture, and the idea is
probably accurate, for it is easy to burst
a very strong glass tube if we will fill it
with water and discharge a jar by means
of two wires, whose extremities are
placed in the water at a short distance
from one another. The tube bursts even
if one end is left open, thus showing that
the extreme suddenness of the explosion
makes it act in all directions, and not
solely in that of least resistance. When
we think of the danger of leaving even
few drops of water in mold into
which melted iron is to be poured, we
shall find no difficulty in thus account
ing for the violent disruptive effects pro
duced by lightning. Heated air is foun(
to conduct better than cold air, probably
on account of the diminution Of densit,
only. Hence we can easily see how it i
that animals are often killed in grea
numbers by simple discharge, as the.
crowd together in storm, and column
Of warm air rises from the group. lnsid

much less than outside. There are sev

The work of tho day is ended,
And thankfully 1 stay
To watch the last tardy straggler
Depart on his noisy way.
The wind is lifting gently
The yellow window blind,
And idly turning the pages
OF the books that are left behind.
And family the merry voices
Float in the half open door,
And glints of the westering sunlight
Slant over the dusty floor
And 1 sit and tiredly wonder
For the room Is very still
How my words have wrought with thu

THE early explorers of the Mississippi
Valley believed that the buffalo might
be made to take the place of the domes-
tic OK in agricultural pursuits, and at the
same time yield fleece of wool equal
in quantity to that of the sheep; but no
persistent attempts have yet been made
to utilize it by domestication. That the
buffalo calf may be easily reared and
thoroughly tanned has been conclusively
proved, but little attention has been
paid to their reproduction in con-
finement, or to training them to labor.
During the last century they were do
mesticated in various parts of the colo
MES, and interbred with domestic cows,
producing a half-breed race which is
fertile, and which readily amalgamates
with the domestic cattle. The half
breed are large, fine animals, possessing
most of the characteristics of their wild
parentage. They can be broken to the
yoke, but are not so sober and manage
BILE in their work as the tame breed
sometimes, for instance, making dash
for the nearest water, with disastrous
results to the load they are drawing. 1t
is somewhat difficult, also, to make a
fence which shall resist the destructive
strength of their head and horns. But
the efforts at tanning buffaloes have not
been many or seriously carried on, and
no attempt appears to have been made
to perpetuate an unmixed domestic race.
Probably after few generations they
would lose their natural untractableness,
and when castrated would doubtless
form superior working cattle, from their
greater size, strength, and natural agil-
ity.-Ernest ngersoU, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

The Overawed Gambler.

The cool; unflinching gaze of brave
man, it is said, will awe tiger. The
statement is perhaps an exaggerated
one, but we will tell an incident of a
man whose eye awed a human tiger.
Some forty years ago, the citizens Of
Natchez, aroused by the excuses of the
gamblers infesting their city, drove
them out, and threatened them with
death if they ever returned. Promi-
nent among those citizens were Capt.
Quitman, a leading lawyer of Natchez.
A month or two later, he and small
band crossed into Texas to aid those
who were fighting Santa Anna and his
Mexicans. Late one night Quitman ar
rived at San Augustine, where he found
the people overawed by large gang of
gamblers, some of whom had lately
come from Natchez. They recognized
him and resolved to have revenge. Quit
man quartered his men in large build
ing, while he occupied room in an adj
jacent house. He had Just taken off his
coat, when the door was thrown vio-
lently open. A tau, fierce-looking man
entered. In his belt was bowie-knife,
and in his right hand he held a pistol.
Fortunately, Quitman had not laid aside
his belt-pistols, and drawing one he
raised it quickly, so that the man was
covered by it.
81 know you and you know me-" he
said, looking the gambler calmly in the

The fact that the last two years, 1873
and 1879, had almost precisely the same
total exports of fresh beef, may indicate
the reaching of maximum, but All in
crease of 40 per cent. in the live-cattle
export of 1879 over 1873 may account
for the lack of gain in fresh beef. At all
events the trade is already important
and lucrative, and besides, as Colonel
Sellers would say, there is all Germany
and France that must one day be sup
piled. The success of the experiment
has been in underselling British beef;
the less agreeable side of the picture is
that good American beef can often be
bought cheaper at retail in English cit
les than in America.-NesC York Sun.
