The Norristown (Pa) Herald in recent issue re-
ferred among Others the following cases Of special
interest. They are their own commentary. Mr.. Sam
uel C. Nyce resides at sos Marshall street. and holds
the responsible position Of journal clerk in the Penn
sylyania legislature at Harrisburg. While Mr.. Nyce
and family were in the country, recently, his boy,
aged three years. fell and broke his leg He recovered
but troublesome stiffness set in aud he could hardly
use the leg. The injured limb was rubbed several
times with st. Jacobs OIL and the stiffness was so
much reduced that the boy was able to use his leg
freely. DR.. Knpe said that it the use Of st. ia
cobs Oil that cured the stiffness. Mr.. Eyce himself
used the Great German Remedy for toothaehe with
good effect and also for sprain and pains Of rheu-
matte nature and always with good effect. Mrs. Nyce
also says she thinks the Oil splendid thing, and
she always keeps it on hand.

Chemists, who have examined Indian corn
find that it contains all the way from 6 to IL
parts in hundred (by weight of fat. By
proper means this fat can be separated from
the grain and it is then thick pale oil
When oils are heated sufficiently in closed YES
sells, so that the air cannot get to them, they
are turned into gas, which occupies many
times the bulk that the oil did. When pop
corn is gradually heated and made so hot that
the oil inside of the kernels turns to gas, this
gas can not escape through the hull of the
kernels, but when the interior pressure gets
strong enough, it bursts the grain, and the
explosion is so violent that it skaters it in the
most curious manner. The starch in the grain
becomes cooked and takes up great deal
more space than it did ore.-American

Knowing Birds.

A little colony OF fan-tailed pigeons
is kept at the works ofthe Union Manu-.
featuring con- pany, at North Man
chester. At Christmas two young birds
were presented to family living three.
quarters of mile from the mill. The
birds were placed in cage and soon
became domesticated and apparently
very much at home, so that few morn
ings since it was thought safe to place
them in the house prepared for them
and let them loose. They remained
quietand contented until at IL 80 O'Clock
the whistle of the mill sounded. In
stantly they flew into the air and struck
out in the direction of the sound. But
before they were certain about their
direction the whistle ceased and the
bros thereupon lit upon a neighboring
root and waited, evidently knowing 2
that in half an hour they would hear
the familiar sound again. The moment
the twelve o'clock whistle began they
mounted straight into the air until they
we're able to locate the direction
and a moment later they
landed among their old comrades. -

EashtOn EancIes.

White pineapple silk handkerchiefs,
EN- brOidered in gold, are worn around
the neck.
Embroidery is exceedingly fashion,
able, and may be found on ali manner
of fabrics in London.
White in gossamer fabrics is very
much used over silk and satin in deli
cate or bright colors for evening
dresses.
Basques are finished on the very edge
with large jet beads strung closely to-
gether. All well.made basques have
lead inserted in the bottom; this holds
them in rlace, especially when sitting.
Velvet, both the stamped and the
plain, stands at the head of fashionable
dress fabrics this season. The black is
more used in the plain, but in colors-
blue, wine ard purple-the stamped
takes the preference.
New styles Of collars upon dresses are
round and wide, ana shaped to extend
down the front of basque to waist-lne.
They are often finished with fiat plait-
ings of lace. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that 81 collar and trimming of this
kind is only becoming to narrow should
ers, and long wasted figures.
The English corduroy is much in de-
mand. 1t wears well and does not
turn brown, like the ordinary corduroy.
A secret that seems to be known by but
few, in making up corduroy and velvet,
IS to make it nap upward; in, that way
the pile is not SO easily fiattened, ard it
has fuller, heavier look always.
Pretty side bags are substituted for
pockets, and the newest specimens are
made of satin, plush or velvet, either
black or to match the color OF the dress.
They are embroidered with cold, silver,
steel jet or colored beads, with silk, or
are hand-painted and have fringe to
match all round and tassels on each side,
or ribbon bows. according to the strings
which fasten them TO the waist, whether
they are of ribbon or silk cord.
Most fanciful are the collars and ruffs
for the throat just now. Some have a
tiny wreath Of flowers, with dropping
buds, put upon lace; others swans
down, or small marabout feathers, gold
or silver spangled between each quilting
OF the lace, and others are like small
collars OF black or coiored plush with
jetted and beaded lace; and so much is
worn round the throat now that, in
addition to the ru1lle, beaded or en-
broidered band of velvet is sometimes

The Last American Empire.

The general opinion in Brazil is that
the empire will not long outliyo the
reign OF the present emperor, the rood
Dom Pedro. The imperial form nj
government does not flourish on the sol
OF the American continent, and the
emperor's personal popularity, which is
very great, has kept in check the demo
cratic tendencies OF the country, which
cannot always be controlled even by
wholesome laws, and wise, liberal and
progressive government. Dom leGro
Will probably be the last American en-
peror, and the vast country which he
rules with so much intelligence and
moderation will be mum bered for good
or III among the republican expert
ments OF the continent. The transition
from the aristocracy to the democratic
form OF government need not nece ssar
lily be attended by violence or danger to
the public peace. The people are edu-
Gated to seli-government to a certain
extent, and the change will be one rather
OF form than of fact or principle.
1t Will be rendered more easy to the
public mind. as the successor of Dom
Pedro is mere child who has not suffi
clent following to control the public
sentiment, or TO keep him on his throne
by force. He is the son of the emperor's
eldest daughter, and is but six years of
age. The mother is intensely unpopu-
lar. Were the emperor to die during
the boys minority the constitution
makes the mother regent, an authority
she could not long sustain The EN-.
peror wishes to have the constitution
changed, SO that the crown NAV be
given to his favorite grandchild. the
son OF his second daughter, whose hus-
band is German prince, This boy is
twelve Lars old, and exhibits decided
talent. But royalty is unpopular in the
country, Notwithstanding the rare ex-
cellencies which have eraced it during
the present reign. Republicanism IS
the breath of American political life.
Surrounded by republics on all sides
the empire has caught the infection, and
liberal ideas permeate the entire politi-
cal fabric. A constitutional president
will soon displace the monarch, the
simplicities OF republican life succeed
the pomp and splendor of imperialism,
and tie last American empire will be
and Herald.

What Makes the Man.

Many people forget that character
grows; that it is not something to put
on, ready-made, with womanhood and
manhood. but day by day, here little
and there a little, grows with the
growth and strengthens with the
strength until, good or bad, it becomes
almost a coat of mail. Prompt, reli-
able. conscientious, yet clear-headed and
energetic, when do you suppose he de-
yeloped all these admirable qualitiesP
When he was a boy. Let US see the
way in which boy OF ien years gets up
in the morning, works, plays, studies.
and we will tell you just what kind OF a
man he will make. The boy that is late
at breakfast and late at school stands a
poor chance to be punctual man. He
