"A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal tells a story of a case in
regard to a patent on a corset, which re-
Gently came up in the United States Su-
prime Court. The judges of this august
court are all very grave and dignified
gentlemen, and the black silk gowns
which they wear add to the solemnity
of their bearing. The corset patent was
delicate subject to bring into this au-
gust court, but the contending parties
had gone to law on the question as to
whether s'coutil'' was cut on the straight
or bias, and in regard to the whalebone
castings. One patentee claimed that he
had improved upon the original design;
that the first patentee's corset placed
the whalebone in the casing, and that it
had to be fastened with a needle and
thread; that his patent had the advan-
tage of an invention which closed up the
top and bottom of the opening. The
lawyer who was arguing the case
brought lot of the corsets in court and
distributed them to each of the Judges
that they might examine the invention
as he explained it. The novel spectacle
was presented of each one of these gen.
tlemen timidly scrutinizing the myster-
les of the bias and straight, and pushing
whalebones in and out of the castings.
All tried to look knowing and capable of
giving an astute opinion; they whis-
pered to one another, of course exchang-
ing only legal knowledge, but the ludic-
rous situation was appreciated by the
lawyers and spectators.

RheumatiSm.

Common rheumatism is q disease
which affects the joints, the hinges OF
the body, in such a way that the slight
est motion of the ailing part gives pain.
A creaking hinge is dry, and turns hard.
A single drop of oil to moisten it makes
wonderful change, and it instantly
moves on itself with the utmost facil-
ity. All kinds of rheumatism are
an Inflammation of the surface of
the joints. Inflammation is heat; this
heat dries their surfaces; hence the
very slightest effort at motion gives
piercing pain. In healthy condition of
the parts, nature is constantly throwing
out a lubricating oil which keeps the
joints in a perfectly smooth and easy
working condition. Rheumatism is al
most always caused by-indeed, it may
be nearer the truth to say, that it is al
ways the result of, cold dampness.
A dry cold, or a warm dampness, does
not induce rheumatism A garment,
wetted by perspiration or rain, or water
in any other form, about a joint, and
allowed to dry while the person is in a
state of rest, is the most common way
of causing rheumatism. A partial wet
ting of a garment is more apt to induce
an attack than if the entire clothing
were wetted, because, in the latter case,
it would be certainly and speedily ex-
changed for dry garments. There are
two very certain methods of preventing
rheumatism. The very moment a gar
ment is wetted in whole or in part,
change it, or keep in motion sufficient
to maintain very slight perspiration,
until the clothing is perfectly dried.
The failure to wear wooden flannel
next the skin, is the most frequent
- H. Coz
muslin or linen or silk shirt of person
in q perspiration becomes damp and
cold the instant a puff of air strikes it,
even in midsummer. This is not the
case where wooden flannel is worn next
the skin. The easiest, most certain,
and least hurtful way of curing this
troublesome affection is, first, to keep
the joint affected wound around with
several folds of WOODEN flannel; live en-
tirely on the lightest kind of food, such
as coarse breads. ripe fruits, berries,
boiled turnips, stewed apples and the
like. If such things were eaten to the
extent of keeping the system freely
open, and exercise were taken, SO that
slight moisture should be on the sur
face of the skin all the time; or if in
bed, the same thing were accomplished
by hot teas and plentiful bed-clothing,
grateful relief and an ultimate cure
will very certainly result in a reasona-
bly, short time. Without this soft and
moist and warm condition of the skin,
and an open state of the system, the
disease will continue to torture for
weeks and months and years. Inflam-
matory rheumatism may, for all practi-
cal purposes, be regarded as an aggra-
waited form of the common kind, ex-
tended to all the joints of the body,
instead of duplicating only one or two.
For all kinds, time, flannel, warmth,
with light and cooling dict, are the
great remedies. = HdHs Journal OF

they arrived at the palace the lady ran
to embrace Ansaldo, but feigned anger
against Giannetto. though she loved
him excessively; yet the feastings, tits
and diversions went on as usual, at
which all the lords and ladies assisted.
Giannetto, seeing that his wife did not
receive him with her accustomed good
countenance, called her, and inquiring
the reason, would have saluted her
She told him she wanted not his caress-
res. Giannetto began to make excuses.
She asked him where was the ring she
had given him.
It is no more than what l expect
ed" cries Giannetto. "and | was in
the right to say you would be angry
with rue; but L swear by all that is
sacred. and by your dear self, that l
gave the ring to the lawyer who gained
our cause"
land 1 can swear" says the lady,
with as much solemnity, "that you
gave the ring to a woman, and l know
it certainly; therefore swear no more. :"
Giannetto said if what he had told
her was not true, he wished every mis-
fortune to fall upon him that might
destroy him, and that he said all this
to the lawyer when he asked for the
ring.
The lady replied: "You would have
done better to have stayed at Venice
with your mistresses, and have sent
Ansaldo here; for hear they all wept
when you went away"
Giannetto's tears began to fall, and
in great sorrow he assured her that
what she supposed could not possibly be
true. The lady seeing his tears. which
were daggers in her bosom. ran to
embrace him, and in fit of laughter
showed him the ring, told everything
which he had said to the lawyer, that
she was herself the lawyer, and how
she obtained the ring. Giannetto was
greatly astonished, finding it all true,
and was highly delighted with what he
had heard, and went out of the chamber
and told the story to the mobiles and to
his companions; and this heightened
greatly the love between him and his
lady. He then called the damsel who
had given him the good advice, and
gave her to An saldo for wife; and
they spent the rest of their lives in
great felicity and contentment.

Among the stories which are told
at st. Petersburg of the attempts made
by the Nihilists to penetrate into the
Winter Palace is the following: Gen.
Gourko, when Governor of St. Peters
burg, had the right of entering at any
time into the Emperor's room without
being announced. Once, however, the
doorkeeper, seeing something unusual
about his appearance, stopped him say
ing it would be necessary to inform the
Emperor of his arrival. The General
objected at first, but, finding that the
doorkeeper only grew more suspicious,
ultimately agreed to his being an
nounced. The doorkeeper then told
the Emperor of his doubts; upon which
the latter went to writing table in his
room, which was connected by tele-
graph with Gen. Gourko's residence,
and telegraphed, g Where is GourkoP P"
at home," was the reply. This, of
course settled the point; the false
Gourko was arrested, and turned out to
be a member of the Revolutionary Com
mittee.

Mutton the Meat for Farmers.

The cheapest me at for the farmer is
mutton. 1t may safely be said to cost
nothing, as the fleece from a sheep of
good breed will amply pay for its keep
ing. Then. for additional profit, there is
II lamb or two, the pelt of the animal if
killed at home, the excellent manure
from its droppings, and the radiance
of the pastures from weeds. to which
sheep are destructive foes. With the
exception of poultry, mutton is also
the most convenient meat for the farm
er. A sheep is easily killed and dressed
by single hand in an hour, and in the
warmest weather it can be readily dis
posed of before it spoils. Science and
experience both declare it the healthiest
kind of meat, and foolish prejudice
alone prefers pork. which, whether
fresh or salt, is the unhealthiest of all.

DOmesticatiOn of the Buffalo.

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 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.-Ermest IngersoH, in Popular Sci
euce Monthly.

of the islands known as New Britain,
in Oceanica. The colonists are for the
most part French, Irish and Belgian,
and will therefore probably agree in
religion. They are on very friendly
terms at present with the aborigines.
Their colony has, according to the

the protection of the United States, and
has received the name of Port Breton.
Spaniards and Chinese coolies are now

the American species and her cub. The
latter is so comical in its motions that
crowds of visitors constantly throng
around the pit in which the pair are
confined. Two or three times day
the mother takes the cub to the bathing
tub and teaches him to swim. The
lesson being over, she takes him with
her teeth and shakes him to and
fro till the exercise and the warmth of
her breath have dried his hair. The
cub promises to develop into the most
wonderful dancer of its species.

Now, farmers have as much right to the

people. The inference from this perpetual
preaching Of economy to the farmer is that
he must live in a very plain house, dress
in very plain clothes, abjure all ornainen-

borders on squalor If this advice is good
