Physiological Philanthropy.

There is no part of the human frame
which is more unsatisfactory than the
liver. No boy ever had any run with
his liver, and no man ever found his
liver a source Of pleasure or q means
of improvement. The Turks, it is
true, belive that the liver is the seat of
the affections, and in their poetry and
love-letters express their ardent desire
to win the livers of desirable persons of
the opposite sex. This, however, is
one of the errors of the Mohammedan
faith. We know that to speak of two
livers that beat as one is q gross anatom-
ical error.
The chief function of the liver, ac-
cording to the best medical authorities,
is to test the presence of malarial
poison in the air, and toprotest against
all sorts Of palatable food. If there is
malarial poison within half a mile Of q
man, his liver will promptly notify him
of the fact, and if he eats anything ex-
cept oatmeal and other repulsive varie-
ties of diblesaW-dust, his liver will soon
strike work and throw his whole in
terror into disorder. The result of this
reprehensible conduct is that the liver
is a constant source of misery. It is
an unfeeling tyrant, and embitters our
lives with its impertinence and
arrogance. Without a liver a man
could live on Harlem flats without even
suspecting the existence Of malaria,
and could eat minoe-pie or sausages
without punishment Freedom and
happiness cannot exist in company with
a liver, and nearly all the ill-temper
and half ofthe heresies that have vexed
the world are due to the mahgn action
of this tyrannical organ.
The liver is also enormously expen-
sive. 1t requires more medicine and
employs more doctors than all the 9TH
or organs of the body. Hippoorates
once remarked, Let me prescribe for
the livers Of men, and / care not who is
called in to attend to the rest of the
human system" It has been estimated
that the annual cost Of maintaining a
liver in this country is eleven dollars
per capita for every man, woman, and
child mentioned in the census. When
an organ thus taxes us, and in return
gives US nothing but suffering, it is
time TO make determined effort to be
rid of it.

pist, Mr.. Cathoart Edmonds, F, R. s.,

An Indian Tradition Of the Great Flood,

One morning water for washing was
brought to Manu-, and when he had
washed himself q fish remained in his
hands. And it addressed these words
to him: Protect me and / will
save thee" "From what wilt thou
save meP" GA deluge will sweep
all creatures away, it is from that 1
will save thee" How shall protect
theem The fish replied; "While we
are small we run great dangers, for fish
swallow fish. Keep me at first in a
vase; when 1 become too large for it
dig o basin to put me into. When l
shall have grown still more, throw me
into the ocean; then | shall be pre-
served from destruction" Soon it
grew large fish. 1t said to Manu-;
i" The very year shall have reached
my full growth the Deluge will happen.
Then build a vessel and worship me.
When the waters rise enter the vessel
and | will save thee" After keeping
him thus, Manu- carried the fish to the
sea. In the year indicated Manu- built
a vessel and worshiped the fish. And
when the Deluge came he entered the
vessel. Then the fish came swimming
up to him, and Manu- fastened the
cable of the ship to the horn of the fish,
by which means the latter made it pass
over the Mountain of the North, The
Ash said; II have saved thee; fasten
the vessel to tree that the water may
not sweep it away while thou art on
the mountain; and in proportion as the
waters decrease thou shalt descend"
Manu- descended with the waters, and
this is what is called the descent of
Manu- on the Mountain of the North.
The Deluge had carried away all
creatures, and Manu- remained alone.

The Gar Nicholas.

In the year 1874, when q piece bear
ing the title "The Emperor Paul. was
announced for performance in Paris,
Nicholas wrote to the King, " If you
do not forbid the representation / will
send million of spectators to hiss it
from the stage"
AS the Emperor was once taking a
walk he heard a man and a woman
talking loudly in the German language.
Hearing the man declare that he would
not quit the spot until he had seen the
Emperor, the latter went towards him
and demanded who he was and what he
wished. The German, who did not
know the Gar, answered that he was
an artisan from Hamburg and desired
to submit a paper describing new and
cheap method of making shoe sOles for
the army. Why do you apply diyect
to the Emperor" inquired the Czar;
why have you not first addressed
yourself to some one about himP" II
wished to do so and called on the Chief
of Police for the purpose" returned
the man, " but his clerk asked me to
pay 300 roubles, which is impossible,
as I have no money" "Then you
might have communicated with the
Governor-General," suggested the
Gar. elias he, then, no Secretary!'
inquired the man. " If so, 500 instead
Iof 300 roubles would probably have
been demanded of me-" The Emperor,
smiling, said, "Then you should have
gone with your petition direct to the
Grand Duke Michael Pawlowitsch. "
To him! Go to that scourge Of SOL
diers, the Grand DukeP Not for the
worldP' replied the man. /" Well, my
fine fellow" said the Czar, I" if you
will only transact your business with
the EmperOrin person speak up, for l
am he" At this unexpected revelation
the honest Hamburger was so terrified
that, trembling from head to foot, he
fell on his knees. In doing so his hat
dropped from his hand. The Emper-
or's dog, his almost constant compan-
ion, Selling the hat began playing with
it. The Emperor contemplated the
scene with characteristic pride, hugely
relishing the fright of the poor artisan.
At last he pulled the hat from between
the dog teeth, and handing it, smiling,
to the still kneeling Hamburger, said:
" Do not be alarmed, my friend; give
me your paper; will have it exam
ined. Meanwhile, come to the palace,
where you shall have a pecuniary in
demnity for the fright you have suf-
fered." On the day following the Em-
peror invited the Grand Duke Michael
Pawlowitsch, the Governor-General
Count Essen and the Chief of Police,
Kokeschkin, to dine with him. He re-
lated to them the adventure he had had
and enjoyed immensely their embar-
rassment and confusion, What came
of the proposal does not appear, but the
Hamburger himself went mad. Atthis
termination of the affair the Emperor
was moved with compassion and al
lowed the family of the victim a regu-
lar pension.-BOg@SlaOskgS Memoirs.

From Country to City.

The following article by DR.. Holland
in the January SCribner was suggested
by letter inquiring about the chance
for young man in New York. 1t will
perhaps answer the questions of many
others who are turning their thoughts,
if not their faces, city ward:
1t is presumable and probable that
there arrives in New York City every
day considerable number Of letters
from the country, making inquiry CON
cerning what it is possible for coun-
try man to do here in the way of busi-
ness, and asking advice upon the ques-
ton of his removal to the city. Every
citizen of New York, with country asso-
Citations, is applied to for information
and counsel with regard to such a
"change of base, }" and the matter seems
worth the few words careful and can
did observer may have to say about it.
1t is well, at the beginning to look at
the reasons which move people to de-
sire to make the change. The first,
perhaps, are pecuniary reasons. A
man living in a country town looks
about him, and can discover no means
for making money in a large way.
everything seems petty. The business
of the place is small, and its possibili-
ties of development seem very limited.
A few rich men hold everything in their
hands, and a young man with nothing
for capital but his youth and health
and hope and ability, feels cramped-
feels, in fact, that he has no chance.
His savings must be small and slow,
and lifetime is necessary to lift him
to a point where money will give him
power. 1t seems to him that if he could
get into the midst Of the great business
of the world he could find his chance
for quicker and broader development
of wealth; and in this connection, or
with this fancy, he writes a letter to his
city acquaintance, asking for his advice
upon the matter.
Another is smitten by a sense of the
dryness and pettiness Of the social life
he is surrounded by in the country, and
the small opportunities he has for per-
sonal satisfaction and development.

How Anna Weber Met Her Death.

The following are the particulars of
the strange manner in which Anna
Weber, a young woman, aged about
seventeen years, whose parents live
near st. Thomas, in this county, met
her death. Between seven and eight
o'clock, last night, she with her cousin,
Anna Box, and Mrs. Durkrim, in whose
family she was employed, were seated
in a room back of the saloon kept by
Durkrim, outnear the Natural Cemetery,
around table playing cards. While
thus engaged they were startled by
three successive pistol reports, and by
seeing Anna Weber rise from her chair
and rush into the bar-room, her cloth
ing on fire; one of the men in the bar
room sprang up and extinguished the
fire, when she dropped to the floor and
expired in about fifeeen minutes. They
were at a loss first to tell what was
the matter with her, and thought she
had tainted, but Durkrim on going in
to the room where the women had been,
playing, found the stove doors all open,
and on examining into the cause dis
covered a five-shot quarter ounce ball
revolver, of the Manhattan Fire Arms
Company's make, in the oven over the

fire-box, the stove being a combined
heater and cook stove. The revolver
had been discharged by the heat from
the fire, which had been kindled but a
few moments before, and which was
the first the stove had had in it since it
was put up for winter use about week
ago. The deceased, while playing
cards, was seated with her back to the
stove, and when the revolver was dis
charged, one of the three shots took
effect in the right side of the back, just
below the shoulder, the ball penetrat-
ing the lung and fatally wounding her.
How the pistol came in the stove is not
known, but it is supposed to have been
placed there byMrs. Durkrim' s mother,
Mrs. Melcher, lately deceased, to keep
it from her boy, who last summer at
tempted to take his own life with it.
