The Gre.tess in tn. werla.

Without q question Buffalo, N. T., can
boast of the largest and most complete pri-
vate Sanitarium in the world. The Invalids'
Hotel was founded by DR.. r. " Pierce, who
has represented his dristrict a. State Senator
and In Congress, and is known throughout
the United States as the originator Of DIR.
Pierce's Family Medicines, and who has also
become widely celebrated in the treatment OF
chronic diseases. The erection OF this man.
moth home for invafids was made necessary
by the large number of afflicted who hocked
to Buffa lo from all parts of the United States
TO consult DR.. Pierce and the eminent medi-
cal gentlemen associated with him as the
faculty of this celebrated institution The
establishment Is said to have cost nearly a
half million of dollars. and is furnished with
every appliance and facility for the care Of
chronic ailments. A correspondingly large
branch institution 10 located in London, En-
gland The whole concern il owned and OPP
Grated by the Worlds Dispensary Medical
Association, OF which the original DIR. Pierce
is President-his brother, an uncle, and other
eminent medical gentlemen taking part in the
treatment of cases In treating cases they
are not at all confined to the narrow limits Of
prescribing the justly-celebrated remedies,
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets, or any other set rem
edies, however good, but have resort to the
whole range Of the NateYia 4Nsdica, as well as
to Turkish and other baths, Swedish move
ments and other approved remedies and meth
eds of cure

"A calculation of the height of the at
mosphere has been recently made by
Herr Ritter, starting from this principle
The quantity of heat which must be
communicated to q mass of air cooled
to absolute zero to bring it, under con-
slant pressure equal to the atmosphere,
to the state of the lowest layer Of the at
mosphere, is the calorific equivalent to
the mechanical work which would have
TO be expended to lift this same mass of
air from the earth's surface to the limits
of the atmosphere. Surprising, first, our
atmosphere to consist of gas which
would retain the properties of q perfect
gas to absolute zero, he gets the height
twenty-five kilometers. Then, taking
the same calculation for an atmosphere
of pure water-vapor, he gets $50 kilo-
meters. Considering, lastly, that while
it is not possible to make an exact cal
culation for real gases, which certainly
condense and solidify like water
before reaching absolute zero,
one must obtain q result little
different from that found in the
case of such vapor, he concludes that
the height of our atmosphere must differ
little from $50 kilometers-a number
which agrees well with that deduced by
Schiapareli from observations of falling
stars.

-"From grave to gay" is the order
OF life, and of newspapers as weIl-so
we revive the old and amusing story of
the miller who sometimes had crazy fits,
in which he always imagined himself to
be the Lord judging the world. On these
occasions he would put on a paper
crown, ascend pile Of meal-bags with
great dignity, and call his neighbors in
succession. The same ones were al
ways judged; and they were the millers
of his vicinity. The first one summoned
was Hans Schmidt. Hans Schmidt,
stand oop. Hans, vat is been your pish-
ness in dat oder vorldP" "I vas q
miller, o Lort!" "Vas you q ioost
man?" "Vell, ven the water vas low,
and the pishness is pad, o Lord, 1 some
dimes dakes leetle exdra doles."
We'll, Hans, you shall go ofer NIT te
gotes, already yet and so in success
sion all were tried and Immediately
sentenced to go over to the goats. Last
of all, the miller invariably tried HIM
self in the following style: "Jacob
Miller, stand oop. Jacob vat vas your
pishness in dat oder vorldPr 81 vas q
miller, o Lort" "Vas you always q
joost man, jacob" "Vell, o, Lort,
ven de water vas leetle low and de

some leetle exdra doles; but, o, Lort,
all de vile give dose exdra doles to de
poor" After long pause)- =" vell,

Almost everybody knows of patent
-four, but not every one understands
what it is. Stripped of technicalities,
this is about the story of its manufac-
ture: The best flour used to be made of
winter wheat. Spring wheat yielded
either much less in quantity, or else so
much OF the bran got into the flour in its
manufacture that its color was intoler-
ably dark. The wheat would be ground
and then bolted. In the refuse-the
bran and middlings-would be included
q large portion of the weight of the
spring wheat, and this would sell more
particularly for feed for horses. Now
the best of -four, and the most expensive,
is made of this very refuse of the old
fashioned process. 1t all came out of
the discovery of way to draw out the
bran. Under the new process the wheat
is ground about as before. The first
result is an ordinary -four sold for ex-
portation. Then the remainder is taken
and put upon great horizontal sleeves,
and while agitation is going on there
an ingenious system of draft il rushing
up through, and carries off the bran.
What is left is the glutinous portion of
the wheat, the most nutritious and most
productive, and out of this, purified now
by the drawing of of the bran, we get
our new process -four. The result of
the discovery of the process has been to
make the poor spring wheat of Min
nesota and upper Wisconsin the most
valuable kind of grain.

Fate of a Tilted butcher:

He tried in drink to drown his cares
And there found no relief,
But daily grew more woebegone,
You never sausage grief
At last his weary soul found rest,
HIS sorrows now are DER;
No tickle maid now troubles him,
Pork reacher, he's no more.
