NORTH CAROLINA, like Virginia, lies in terraced slopes, from the highest rang es of the Appalachian chain to the salt marches of the seacoast, and Is also like the neighboring State,. usually divided into belts of the same Tidewater. the middle country, Piedmont, and the Blue Ridge. Ingeology and productions, the belts correspond with those in Vir- ginia, but the climate of North Carolina ranges about 10 degrees higher at any given altitude. There has always been a popular belief in the North that this State was poor in natural resource. But this is not so. Mineralogists of late years make pilgrimages to her mount ains as to treasurehouse of riches, and shrewd Northern capitalists, since 1874, have been investing largely in her timber and mineral lands. In the Blue Ridge belt there are stores of gold, silver, iron, copper and marble which, Prof, King reports, "seem imitless; ;" while Prof. Overman declares that the gold mines in this district, under proper man. agement, would yield more than those of California. The Catawba grape is anative of this section, and 100 other varieties of native grapes have been found, many of them superior to the Catawba. There are in the highlands no potato bugs, mos qutoes or chinch bugs; but the plague of the country is feas.

rERnoRs OE THE sIMOoM.

The "simoom," or poison wind, Of Arabia, is serious affair to the travel ors caught in it. The center of the col umn of wind Is composed of poison ous gas, to breathe which is death. Round this center there eddy violent gnsts of heated and impregnated air, like that of furnace. It approaches slowly, amid the whirl of air-currents that precedes 1t for some distance. Dur ing its presence the only chance of pre- serving life is found in covering the face with a cloth, and lying prone on the sand, inhaling what little pure air may be found next the earth. Meanwhile the feeling of the chest is that of suffo- cation, and that in the limbs as if molten iron was being poured over them. Camels instinctively bury their nozzles in the sand, but horses do not possess tie same preservatory instincts, and often perish in consequence.

4 STRANGE DISCOVERY.

Prof. Tyndall of London has invented a new scientific apparatus that, when properly used, gives most singular re- suits, and shows that the wonders of the photophone have only just begun.
 The photophone has already been de- scribed in the Companion, and you may remember it is an instrument invented by Prof. Bell for causing beam of light to convey telephonic message to dis tance.
 In the new apparatus, beam of light from lime light, or even a candle, is thrown upon common glass flask hay ing long neck. To this is fastened rubber speaking tube that may be placed to the ear, so that any sounds in tho flask may be heard through the tube.
 Between the flask and the light is placed circular disk of metal, having narrow slots, or openings, placed like the spo1es of wheel round the edge. When the disk is at rest, the beam of light may pass through one of the slota and fall on the flask.
 If, now,sthe disk is made to turn rap idly on its axis, the light will reach the flask in series of flashes, as it shines through the slots one after the other. Here the curious discovery comes in. When the flask is filled with gas, or vapor, say the vapor of sulphuric ether, common street gas, oxygen, perfumes like patchouli or cassia, or even smoke, and the beam of light is made to fall oD the flask in Q series of alternate flashes. the operator, listening with the speaking tube at his ear, will hear strange musical sounds inside the flask.
 The pitch of these tones will cores pond exactly with the speed with which the disk is made to turn, and each kind of gas, or vapor, in the flask will give different kind of note, some soft, some loud, and some very sweet and musical.
 This is certainly the most remarkable discovery since the photophone, and il shows that light may be made the means of making sounds audible at distance, even when the eye can see no difference in the light. It even suggests the idea that we may yet be able to hear the sounds of the fires raging in the sun. Il may, indeed, be only hint to yet more wonderful and unthought-of relation. ships between light and sound. which may be utilized as medium of commu- nication.- YolGth'S Companion.

ABOUT THE sAFE-IGEsrs.

Safe-agent No. had just taken his leave. He had told a most wonderful circumstance about the kind of safe he was agent for, which was as follows, and related to safe-agent No. ?:
 "SD," says the poor fellow who had lost his safe in the large fire, there isn't any use of your talking safe to me. I am convinced that the man who has just left here is the man to buy of. Why, he sold safe in New York city to large produce merchant who had as pet little bantam rooster, and this little rooster got into that safe, and the safe was locked up. That night the building burned, and it was terrible hot fire. In few days, when they were able to get at the safe and open it, what do you think ?"
 "Well, suppose, said the safe-agent, "that the rooster was cooked"
 "No, sir; that little rooster came out and crowed."
 "Well, now," says safe-agent No 2, "that puts me in mind of safe sold to man in Philadelphia. He had little dog, and the dog got locked up in the safe, and the building took fire. The outside of the safe was red-hot, but they went to work and opened that safe; the combination worked to charm, and what do you think?"
 "Well, I suppose that little dog came out and parked.
 "Barked? No, sir; not bark. That dog was troze stiff"

WHiT IS EATER FOR.

Water is so common we hardly think of 1t. To begin with, water was Gods builder of the world, as we see it. The rocks were mud and sand made by water and laid down by it, one kind on the top of another. Coal, made of plants, was covered up by water, so that the rotten plants were kept there and changed into coal. Veins of lead, copper, gold, silver, crystals, were cracks in the rocks, filled with water that had these precious things dissolvedin it. And water, as ice (glaciers), ground up rocks into earth, in which plants can grow, the sea and streams helping to do the work. Water builds plants and animals, too. Three quarters of what they are made of is water. When you pay 20 cents for a peck of potatoes you are really paying 15 of the cents for the water in the pota- toes. A boy who weighs eighty pounds, ifperfectly dried up, would weigh only twenty pounds. And there could be no potato nor boy without water. It must dissolve things to make them over into new things, and it carries them where they are wanted to build the new things It softens food, and then as watery blood carries the food to every part of the body to make new flesh and bones, that we may grow and have strength. It carries the plants food, also, up into the plant. And water carries man and goods in boats, and, as steam, drives his cars. It makes the wheels go in his factories. It is a great worker, and we could not get along without. it. And 1t makes much of the beauty in the world. Ask your friends how 1t does that ?-C6n- gre9ationolist.

How TO PRESERVE THE TEETH.

The following directions for the care of the teeth have been issued by the Medical Committee of the National Dental Hospital, London
 l. The teeth should be cleaned at least once a day, the best time being night-the last thing. For this purpose use soft brush, on which take little soap, and then some prepared chalk, brushing up and down and across. There is rarely any objection to the friction causing the gum to bleed slightly.
 2. Avoid all rough usage of the teeth, such as cracking nuts, biting thread, etc., as by so doing even good, sound teeth may be injured.
 8. When decay is first observed, ad- vice should at once be sought. It is the stopping in a small hole that is of the yreatest service, though not infrequently large filling preserves the teeth for years.
 4. It is of the greatest importance Chat children from years and upward should nave their teeth frequently examined by the dental surgeon, to see that the first et, particularly the back teeth, are not decaying too early; and to have the opportunity of timely treatment for the regulation and preservation of the sec ond Set.
 5. Children should be taught to rinse the mouth night and morning, and to begin the use of the toothbrush early, likewise the toothpick.
 6. With regard to the food of children, o those who are old enough whole-meal bread, porridge and milk should be given. This is much more wholesome and sub stantial food than white bread.
 2. If the foregoing instructions were carried out, comparatively few teeth would have to be extracted.

THE MULE HANDICAPPED.

Mr. Adolf Sutro, in his lecture before the Bullion Club, says the following kind words Of mules: We have been nsing mules for years, and have found out that they are tolerably good ami mals; but there is prejudice against mules, though they are very intelligent. I think that could write a chapter on their traits, as have had very exten- sive experience with them. It has been said that they have str0ng propensity for kicking; have never seen them kick when in the tunnel. They become very tame when under ground in fact, they become the miners pets. The men be- come quite attached to them and as the shift-mules pass along by the men at lunch, they will often receive from one piece of pie and from another cup oi coffee, etc. When signal is given to fire blast the mules understand the signal, and will try to get out of the way of it just as the men do. Of course, under ground it is very dark, and the mules become so accustomed to th darkness that even when they go out into the sunlight they cannot see very well, and when they go back from the sunlight into the mine they cannot see at all. So we are in the habit of cover ing one eye with piece of cloth when- ever they go out, and keep the covering over the eye until they go into the tun nel again we then remove the cloth, so they have one good eye to see with. We had to adopt this plan for preserving their sight, because the mule is so stub born that he will not pull unless he can see his way ahead. We have found out another thing about mules. We triet horses at first, but we found that when- ever anything touched the ears of a horse he would throw up his head and break his skull against the overhanging rock but if you touch q mules ears he drops his. head. For that reason W. could not use horses. We employed mules, and they have answered very well.

HHIsT PLAYERS.

The great whist players of England rarely dined, in the usual acceptation of the word, and never touched the Faler- aian before playing. Charles Fox was
 he exception. Gen. Ansoa and Mir. Clay, M. P. for Hull, the two great En- glish players of our time, took a little tea and toast at the Turf Club in Arling- ton street as an overture to the game, and Prof Longfeld, Tom Vignolles of the Castle, and George Mcdowell, Eel low of Trinity College, the great Irish players, never exceeded this mild re- past. Vignolles, who was a son of the Dean of the Chapel Royal and an ex- quisite whist artist, had splendid ca reer spoiled by being discovered cheat ing at the United Service Club by the Duke, then Prince George of Cam bridge, and General, then Maj. Grifiths of the Scots Greys, at the miserable game of vingtun. Gen. Scott, the father of the Duchess of Portland and Wis countess Canning, who is said to have cleared 9200,O0O by scientific play at whist, adhered strictly to regimen of oarley-water before sitting down to play.

BARSUn ON prey FEET.

Broiled pigs feet Ia P. T. Bar mum" Is one of the dishes printed on the oturtevant House bill of fare, in New York. Pigs feet, properly cooked, were given me to eat long before I was permitted to partake of any other ami nal food, " said Mr. Barnum. "When old and young feet are boiled two and one-half hours, as usual, the ,ld ones age tough and worthless If they zere boiled three and one-half hours the young feet would burst and the gelatine swim away. Now, the secret is to wrap each pigs foot in Q cotton bandage, wound two or three times around it, and well corded with twine. Then boil them four hours. Let them remain in the bandages till needed to fry, bro1, or pickle. The skin will hold 1t together while being cooked, and when you eat 1t you will find them all tender and delicate as possible" Housekeepers will be glad to get hold of this new way of cooking pigs feet. We say new, because 1t will be new to the general public. It has been known for a long time. and there is hotel in this State where pigs feet are 8 special feature of the bill of fare, and the reputation of the dish has extended far and wide. They are cooked there in the way described by Mir. Barnurn.- Bridgeport sStQadard.

HOW HE KNEW HIM.

James Syme, the eminent Scotch sur geon and Edinburg professor, was en- tirely devoted to the profession. A we'll known public character at one time consulted him about some affection of the lungs. Years afterward he returned on the same errand. On being sn- nounced, he was nettled to observe that MT. Syme had neither any recollection of his face, nor, which was still morc galling, acquainted with his name. H, thereupon mentioned the fact Of his former visit. Still Syne failed to re- member him. But when the professor put his ear to the patients chest, and heard the peculiar sound the old ail- ment had made chronic, he exclaimed: "Ah! remember you now. know you by your lung"

ONCE Carlyle went to visit one of his early pupils in the country. AS bed time drew near the host said "Now MT. Carlyle, we are going to have family worship" thinking that he would per haps like to withdraw before the service began but he quietly answered, "Well, bring me the book and I will read 1t for you" Taking the Bible in his lap he began with the first chapter of the Book of Job. For a time it was delightful to listen to him read chapter after chap ter, interjecting quaint remarks as he went along; but presently 1t became evident that he had no notion of stop ping, having forgotten himself in his task. His niece recalled him to sense of propriety by whispering "The serv- ants must be weary, uncle.' He made no verbal response, but closed the Bible with snap and betook himself to the next room a2d the enjoyment of his pipe.

 la a.-l 'hat time thhi wo have lived apart sQuae day whom you have slipped away from care, And idly fan tp dreaming of the past, And sadly think of all your life has missed,
 fou win remember my true love at last, Or it may come to pass, some dreary night
 After day that has been hard to bear, When you are weary, heart-sick and forlorn,
 And there is none to comfort or to care, That you will close your tired eyes to dream
 Of tender kisses falling soft and light, Or restful touches smoothing off your hair,
 And sweet words spoken for your hearts delight ohi thou you will remember and be glad
 That have keptyo in my heart, And that your hearts true home will still oe there Although we wander silent and apart.

THANKING LETTERS.

It is related of United States Senator Van Wyck. of Nebraska, that, in the spring of 1862, when McClellan's army lay in front of Yorktown, Van Wyck, while in command of New York volun- teer infantry regiment, was also Rep resentative in Congress from one of the Western New York districts. Although in uniform, he was still solicitous for the welfare of his many friends in his own regiment and other military organ izations from his neighborhood. One dark, rainy night, just before "taps had sounded, he happened to step into a battery park, and private soldier who recognized him requested him to frank a letter. The frankfng privilege was then not limited as it now is. Ger tainly," replied the soldier member of Congress, "Tll sit up all night to frank letters for soldiers" The declaration was scarcely uttered before 1t passed from soldier to soldier, and then from camp to camp. Soldiers from every di- rection brought their envelopes to Col. Van Wyck to frank. The Colonel un- tremendously seated himself in 3 sut- ler's tent and went to work. That sut- ler's supply of envelopes rapidly disap- peared, and when reveille sounded in the morning the Colonel was still sitting on his camp-stool, with hard tack box, which he had improvised as table, be- fore him, franking letters for "the boys"
