A CuriOus Eyperiment.

A correspondent, writing from New
York, relates the following curious ex-
pertinent, which was tried in his pres
ence by a small party of gentlemen
casually assembled at the house of
friend: The heaviest man in the room,
who happened to be our host, the Rev.
Mr.. -, was put lying down on three
chairs, his head ON one and his body
and feet on the other two. Then five
of us each put two fingers under him,
one taking the head, another the feet
and 80 on, and at given signal all
took a long breath and lifted to-
gether. To our amazement we lifted
a man weighing 200 pounds, two feet
from the chair, with no more effort
than if he had been bag of feath-
ers. Two of the "lifters" were young
ladies, and I know all the persons pres
ent, and am certain of their honesty.
After we had repeated the experiment
several times marked weights were
brought in, and the "lifters" were
asked to estimate about how much
strain they had felt when lifting the
Rev. Mr.. =. One person, after trying
different weights, estimated it at two
pounds, another three, etc. Two hun
dred pounds distributed among five per-
sons would give forty pounds to each,
not an easy weight for woman to lift,
and no one but all athlete would at
tempt to lift forty pounds with Two fin
gers. This experiment may be tried at
any time when five or six persons are
present, and will afford food for reaec-
ton.

Thinning Corn.

A farmer planted some corn on piece
of light, sandy land, and, to keep off the
crows, resorted to the device of putting
string around the field. There proved
to be more land than string, and he in
closed as large an area as he could with
that length Of string in the middle of
the field, leaving margin on the out
side unprotected. The wary birds, fear
ing trap, did not venture inside the
inclosure, but took liberties outside of
it. When crows thin corn they are apt
to overdo the thing, but in this case it
was SO judiciously done that the owner
found at the harvest that he had better
corn where they thinned it so thoroughly
than where he neglected to do it him
self. 1t often happens that when you
are planting corn, if you are in hurry,
you put all the way from four to ten
grains in hill, thinking, perhaps, that
some of it will not come up, and if there
happens to be more than is necessary
you can pull it out when you are hoeing.
But it takes time to thin corn properly,
and more than one farmer finds it diff
cult to get it done at all by those who
are doing his work. 1t is generally
thought that where more than four
stalks are left in a hill there may be
more fodder, but it is at tie expense of
the grain, and many farmers who base
their calculations about the amount of
grain they will harvest upon the amount
of fodder growing will be liable to dis
appointment.

An idea, not exactly new, but now re-
ceiving new attention among scientists,
is deserving of notice. The theory has
been advanced that murders and such
crimes are not the fruit of devilish dis
position, of revenge or of hate. They
are simply the natural results of some
abnormal condition of the brain. The
undue growth of the brain in the region
of the medulla oblongata presses upon
the brain and drives the innocent man
to innocently seize an ak and blame
lessly chop his wife's head open. 1t is
her misfortune, not his fault. The post
mortem examination of the brains of
number of murderers shows in majority
Of cases some tumor, malformation or
softening of the brain. The brains of
assassins are usually larger than the
average. Suicides in almost every case
show softening oil the brain in one or
more lobes. The radical believers in
this theory argue that this being the
case hanging is not the remedy for
crime. Wanderers are to be pitied, not
punished, and placed under medical
treatment instead OF hanged. At least,
while the theory is not generally ac-
cepted, they hold that a convicted muir
derer should be given to them to exper-
iment on, cut section out of his skull
bone and try to mold his brain into
new shape.
However this may be, in places where
hanging is still in vogue, where the
choice is between confinement under
medical treatment and turning the
criminal loose on the community, the
decision should not be long to consider.

SO excessively foul smelling that all his
deoderizers failed, but on applying o
poultice made of dried figs cooked in

was entirely done away with. Certainly
the remedy is worth trying.

Color of lightning.

The color Of lightning is altogether
due TO the nature of the substance
which is made incandescentin in its track.
The blue, red, purple or silver tints,
which ale ordinarily much more bril-
liantly marked in warm climates and
intertropical countries than they ever
are in England, are due to the same
circumstances as the color which is de.
signedly communicated to the light OF
different kinds of fireworks.
1t is result of the intrinsic natures
of the vaporized particles which are
made to shine. The vapor from iron
has one kind of sheen and the vapor OF
sulphur another. Each different foreign
ingredient that floats in the air has its
own proper hue, which it can communi.
cate to the lightning.
The broad flashes of light that appear
in the clouds during thunderstorm,
and that are distinguished as sheet
lightning, are very often merely the re-
Elections from the cloud mist of the dis
charges that pass from one part to
another with each redistribution of the
internal charge, as the tension at the
outer surface is changed by an external
flash.
This redistribution of the internal
charge is sometimes also marked by
very beautiful lines of corruscation
plying upon the dark background as
the storm drifts away.
There is table mountain few miles
away from Piertermaritzburg, in Natal,
over which this kind of display is con-
tinually exhibited.
The retreating storm clouds linger
over the flat top of this mountain,
where they can be seen from the city in
the advancing night.
In this dark canopy of the mountain
bright corruscations, accompanying each
redistribution of the electric charge,
can be watched for hours at time
now assuming the form of coronals Of
electric fire, now running along in ma
chiolated horizontal lines just above
the fiat top of the mountain, and now
radiating out in all directions from a
central loop, like the cracks of starred
class,

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

It's easy finding reasons why other
people should be patient.
1t is not sufficient for desires to be
good, it is necessary that they be regu-
lated.
Many have lived for pedestal, who
will never have statue when dead.
The happiness or unhappiness of age
often nothing but the extract OF past
life.
No cord or cable can draw SO forcihly,
or bind so fast, as love can do with only
q single thread.
There are some minds like the convex
or concavc mirrors, which represent OBJ
jects such as ,hey receive them, but
they never receive them as they are.
The body of a man oppressed by ex-
ercise bears down the mind and ,le-
presses to the earth any portion of the
divine spirit We have been endowed
with.
A tender conscience is an estimable
blessing that is, a conscience that is
not only quick to discern what is evil,
but instantly to shun it, as the eyelid
closes itself against the mote.
Those who speak always and those
who never speak are equally unfit for
friendship. 4 good proportion of the
talent of listening and speaking is the
base of social virtues.
To be always intending to live q new
life but never to find time to set about
it this is as if man should put off
eating and drinking and sleeping from
one day and night to another, till he is
starved and destroyed.

disease progresses. If the case be
one of long standing there will be
dry, hacking cough, attended, after
time, by expeotoration. In very ad-
vanced stages the skin assumes dirty
brownish appearance, and the hands
and feet are covered by cold, sticky
perspiration. AS the liver and kid
neys become more and more diseased
rheumatic pains appear, and the usual
treatment proves entirely unavailing
against this latter agonizing disorder.
1t is most important that the disease
should b. promptly and properly
treated in its first stages, when a lit
tie medicine will effect a cure, and
even when it has obtained strong
hold the true remedy should be per-
severed in until every vestige of the
disease is eradicated, until the appe-
tite has returned and the digestive
organs are restored to a healthy con-
dition. This disease is called Liver
Complaint and by various other names,
but the real disease is Dyspepsia. The
safest and surest remedy for the dis
ease is the one we have described, the
Shaker Extract of Roots, prepared by
the Mount Lebanon Shakers, who
have spont more than fifty years in
studying the medicinal preparation Of
plants and roots. Read Life Among
the Shakers" and learn more about
this excellent article.

"Lite among the Shakers" as free
gift. 1t will tell you how the Shakers
live, what they do and what they
believe.

A Remarkable Operation.

A remarkable surgical operation was
described to the Royal Society in Lon
don by Dr. MacEwen. The patient, a
child Of three years, was afflicted With
necrosis of the humerus, which, being
translated out of the surgeons argot,
means a sort of gangrene or death OF
the long bone between the elbow and
shoulder. When the disease had ru
its course two-thirds of the shaft wa-
wanting, and nature had made no at
tempt to supply the deficiency. The
object aimed at was nothing less than
the transportation of bone. ANY doc
tor up to the times will readily under
take to transplant or "graft" skin to
heal large wounds, and in one case
whole scalp has been supplied. And SO,
too, not a few surgeons pour blood from
vein to vein between man and man, or
between man and beast, almost as
readily as from pitcherto pitcher. But
to transplant bone-a tooth or two being
excepted-has been deemed as lmpos-
sible as to insert brains into an empty
or an added pate. In this case, trans
plantations of bone were made on three
occasions, the pieces being taken from
other patients who were subjected to
operations designed to straighten their
legs. These fragments of shin-bone
were divided into many small pieces
and inserted into burrows in the child's
arm. They speedily united with each
other and with the natural sockets, ul-
timately forming solid rod only half
an inch shorter than the humerus on
the other side, and Transforming use
less arm into thoroughly useful one."
The conclusion, as sure as logic, is that
transplanted bone will live and grow
and that the operation is one of practi
cal benefit to mankind.

"ROUT OR "ROOT."
A Difference in Pronunciation that Cost =
County $500.

A Difference in Pronunciation that Cost
County $500.
A few weeks ago, in Pittsburg, Pa,
and before Judge Kirkpatrick, case
was tried in which farmer living in
one of the outlying townships was the
plaintiff and the county the defendant.
Some time ago, as little daughter Of
the plaintiff was crossing the creek, q
foot log, which was the only bridge,
broke, and the little one fell into the
water and was drowned. A suit for
damages was instituted, but it did not
come up for trial until few weeks ago,
when the jury awarded the plaintiff
damages in the sum of $500. A little
story in connection with this verdict
has just leaked out.
ID. I. Watson, Esq, was counsel for
the defendant, and in his address to the
jury stated that eff the plaintiff knew
the route (pronouncing the word rout)
over which the child crossed the creek
was dangerous, and had not sent her
over another route, the county could
NOT be held responsible for any DANA
ges which ensued." This evidently
struck Judge Kirkpatrick as being pretty
sound logic, for in his charge to the
jury he repeated the statement. Unfor-
tunately for the county, however, the
judge in this instance adopted the pro-
ounciation for the word route preferred
by o great many men of culture
(which is quite correct), and informed
the jury that elf the plaintiff knew the
route (root) was dangerous" etc., the
county could not be held responsible.
The jury retired, and, much to the sur
prise of all the attorneys who had
watched the case, soon brought in O
verdict of $500 for the plaintiff.
A few days afterward w. D. Moore
happened to meet one of the jurymen
in the courthouse rotunda, and almost
the first question asked was: "How in
the world did you iurymen reconcile
your verdict with the Judges charge 2
"Why," responded the late juror,
"we had no trouble on that score. The
Judge informed us that if the plaintiff
knew the root was dangerous, the county
was not liable. Now, all of us knew it
was not root which broke and caused
the child's death, but rotten log,
and we could not return different ver-
dict"
1t is not known whether Mr.. Moore
informed the uncultured juror of the
fact that the proper pronunciation of
the word "route" was either "rout I"
or "root;" but, at all events, those who
have been made acquainted with the
circumstance enjoy it hugely, and al
lege whether seriously or not is not
stately that Judge Kirkp tricks pro-
nunciation cost the county $500.
