Embalming Chinese at Sea.

Every steamer sailing for China from
this port takes in the steerage a large
number of returning Mongolians, many
of whom are sick and suffering from in
durable diseases. Death is a frequent
occurrence among them and the dead
are generally embalmed after an mex
pensive and effective method. The en-
balmment of the defunct heather is thus
described by gentleman who took
passage upon the Baltic upon her last
trip: g saw the interesting process OF
embalmming this morning The surgeon
cut a cash in the neck. picked up an
artery, tapped it. and with hand pump
injected about two gallons of an arsenical
solution into the veins until they stood
out all over the body. Having tied up
the artery to keep the fluid in, the body
was placed in the rough redwood box,
sealed up and put on top of the wheel
house, where were number of others.n
The bodies of all who die in passage are
stored on the top of the wheel-house
hence the name ofLone Mountain is APP
piled to it.-Sdn francisco Call.

POiSOnS in Tobacco Smoke,

In further research on this subject
DR.. LeBon finds that collidine, the new
alkaloid existing in tobacco smoke with
other aromatic principles; and prussic
acid, as well as nicotine), is liquid of
agreeable and very penetrating odor,
and as poisonous as nicotine, the twen-
tieth part of one drop sutficing to par
alyze and kill frog. 1t is the prussic
acid and various aromatic principles
that cause headache, giddiness and
nausea in smoking certain tobaccos
that contain little nicotine. Other to-
baccos, rich in nicotine, have no such
effects. The tobaccos containing most
prussic acid and collidine are those of
Havana and the Levant The dark
semi-liquid matter which condenses in
pipes and cigar holders contains all
the substances just named, as well as
carbonate of ammonia, tarry and color
ing matter, etc. 1t is very poisonous;
two or three drops of it will kill small
animal.
The combustion of tobacco DESTROYS
but small part of the nicotine, and
most of this appears in the smoke. The
proportion absorbed by smokers varies
according to circumstances, but hardly
ever falls below fifty centigrammes per
one hundred grammes of tobacco burnt.
About the same quantity of ammonia is
absorbed at the same time. Naturally,
more Of the poisonous principles are alb
sorbed where the smoke is breathed Gas
in room); less in the open air. A frog
placed in a receiver containing solu-
ton of nicotine, with about one drop of
that substance to little of water, sue
cumbs in a few hours. Tobacco smoke
contains about eight millilitrees of car
bonic oxide per one hundred grammes
OF tobacco burnt. The poisonous prop
critics of tobacco smoke are not due to
this gas, as has been maintained in Ger
Times.

PEGGLNN AWAY.

There " as an old shoemaker, sturdy as steel,
of or ,at wealth and repute in his day,
Who il questioned his secret of luck to reveal
Would chirp like a bird on spray;
"Jt isn't so much the vocation you re in,
Or liking for it, he would say,
"As it is that forever, through thick and
through thin,
You should keep a-pegging away"
Ibaye found a maxim of value whose truth
Observation has proven in the main,
And which might well be vaunted a watch
word by youth,
In the labor of hand and OF brain;
For if genius and tall Mt are cast
Into work the strongest display,
You CT n never be sure of achievement at last,
Unless you keep pegging away.
There are shopmen who might into statesmen
have grown,
Politicians for handiwork made;
Some poets who better in shops had shone,
And mechanics best suited for trade;
But when once in the harness, however it fit
Buckle down to your work night and day,
Secure in the triumph of hand and of wit,
Ii you only keep pegglng away.
There are times in all tasks when the fiend
Advises pause or a change,
And en- field far away and irrelevant bent,
The purpose is tempted to range;
Never heed, but in sound recreation restore
Such traits as are SLOW to obey;
And then, more persistent and staunch than
before,
Keep pegging and pegging away.
Leave fitful endeavors for such as would cast
Their spendthrft existence in vain
For the secret of wealth, in the present and
past,
And Of fame and of honor, is plain;
II lies not in change, nor in sentiment nice,
Nor in wayward exploit and display,
But just in the shoemakers honest advice,
okeep pegging and pegging away

During Lincoln's time there was a
great row over the Post-oifice in Major
Bickham?s town of Dayton, Ohio. Two
Hotspurs were in the field. Petition
after petition in favor of one or the
other poured in upon the President, and
delegation after delegation hastened to
Washington to argue the case. Mr..
Lincoln was a long g-suffering man, but
his patience gave out at last. He could
not determine that one applicant, was in
the slightest degree more competent or
more patriotic or better supported than
the other Finally, after being bored
by a fresh delegation, he said to his
Secretary: s'This matter has got to end
somehow. BRING pair of scales"
The scales were brought. Nov put
in all the petitions and letters in favor
of one man and see how much they
weigh, and then weigh the other fel-
lows pile" 1t was found that one
bundle was three-quarters of pound
heavier than the other. MAKE out an
appointment at once for the man who
has the heaviest papers, said Mr.. Lin
coin, and it was done.--E. Y. !Smaliey,

The Tactile Sense.

The sense of touch, when highly
trained, enables the blind to read with
their fingers almost as readily as others
with their eyes. With it alone Laura
Bridgman rapidly recognizes a friend;
feels the approach of one coming in the
hall, and even picks out her own clothes
returned with those of others from the
laundry. eua a@s5 5as
The ancient sculptor determined the
final finish of his Statue in marble, not
by his eye, but by the nerves at the roots
of his finger-nails. The expert compos-
itor depends less on his eyes than on
his finger-tips in handling his types.
The wonderful capacity which lies hid
IN all our senses is brought out only
when necessity forces us to their special
training; but it might be well if their
fuller development was made part of
the education of the young generally.
Without this sense we could hold
nothing in our hands except when look
ing at it, nor stand with safety, nor lie
in bed with comfort. Few are aware
how dependent we are on the sensations
located in the surface of our bodies.
A man in Germany, on recovering
from severe fever, was attacked with
numbness, which was soon followed by
loss of all tactie sensation. He would
wound or burn himself and become
aware OF it only by seeing the blood or
the scar. Gangrene (mortification) fol-
lowing an injury to his finger, the latter
had to be amputated; but it was done
without the slightest pain. Though he
retained his full power of motion he
could tell only by his eyes whether his
arm was extended or bent; nor could he
walk or even stand in the. dark, and
when in bed he simply seemed suspend
ed in the air. The case was regarded
as avery interesting one by the medical
profession, and on the persons death,
some twenty years later, a post maortem
examination showed that his brain was
wholly unaffected. but that there had
been extensive softening of the spinal
marrow from the top of the neck to the
small of the back Youths Communion.

said Humphrey. @ E
{" What did you drag me into this car
riage for?" asked the lady.
g Why did you get in?" asked the
young gentleman.
81 was trying to catch Pussy" said
Miss Monckton, and suddenly she felt
the truth borne in upon her.
8 You wicked young manr' she ex-
claimed. g You were to elope with
Letitia Quirk. 1 saw her signals to-day
but did not understand them until
now. Are you not ashamed of YOUR
self?''
'' Miss Monckton, when two people
love each other they want to get mar
ried, said poor Humphrey, who was
only twenty-one. s--
1t was simple plea, but it touched
the poor spinster's heart, full as it was

Well, l don't know but what they
0o' Humphrey" she said. with rural
caution of expression. But they
ought to marry properly, not like this.
Carrying a girl off i'll the middle of the
night isn't the way"
Not if you were not bothered and
badgered and tormented," sighed
Humphrey. /" Poor Letitia! wonder
where she is! We must 90 back
'Of course" said Miss Monckton.
:" And you must 90 away. Humphrey,
don't coax that girl to do wrong. I'll
speak to Mrs. Quirk. I'll get her to
agree to your marriage. There's moth
ing against you as know of. Now, be
sensible, and you shall have her yet, and
I'll come to the wedding
They drove back. There was no sign
OF Letitia on the road, though lights
were shining in the house, and the dis
appointed lover shrewdly suspected the
truth-namely, that Letitia had been
caught by her indignant father in the
very act of leaving the house.
Miss Martha slipped out of the car
riage with Pussy in her arms, praying
that Minty might not awake and see
her, and feeling as terrified as though
the elopement had actually been her
own. But she called on Mrs. Quirk
next day. and the interview ended hap
PLY for the lovers either because of
the tale OF her own life that she told,
the revelation of their daughters indis-
cretion, or certain little promise that
she made
''Pve nobody to leave my property
to-" she said to Mrs. Quirk, land if
you let Letitia have Humphrey I'll
make my will in their favor to-mor-
row. -

Williams at the next ea-drinking she
attended, " that Humphrey Horton and
young Mrs. Horton should hev gone to
live with Miss Monckton. She amt no
kin of theirn.'
But, nevertheless, there they we're
very happy little family, too; and lit
tie Miss Monckton was never lonely
again. Letltia's children sat on her
knee and called her aunty and played
with grey old Pussy, who lay upon the
rug for many years. 4'.,-.,.
