SOME Uses OF CHARCoAL.-Char-
coal, laid fiat while cold on a burn,
causes the pain to abate Immediate
ly; by leaving it on for an hour the
burn seems almost healed when the
wounds superficial. Tainted meat
surrounded with it, is sweetened.-
Strewn over heaps of decomposed
pelts, or over dead animals, char
coal prevents any unpleasant odor.
Foul water is purified by it. 1t is
a great disinfectant, and sweetens
offensive air if placed in shallow
trays around apartments. 1t is so
very porous that it absorbs and
condenses gases rapidly. One GU
bic inch Of fresh charcoal will alb
sorb nearly one hundred inches of
gaseous ammonia. Charcoal forms
an excellent poultice for malignant
wounds and sores. In cases of
what is called proud flesh it is in
valuable. 1t gives no disagreeable
odor, corrodes no metal, hurts no
texture, Injuries no color, is a SIM
pie and safe sweetener and disinfec-
tant. A teaspoonful of charcoal,
in half a glass Of water, often re-
ieves sick headache. 1t absorbs
the gases and relieves the distended
stomach pressing against the nerves
which extend from the stomach to
the head. 1t often relieves consti-
patton, pain, or heartburn.

MAKING AMENDS.

A dramatist sitting by friend
at a theatre, contrived to extract
handkerchief from his pocket and
transfer to his own. Presently a
man behind him tapping him on
the shoulder, whispered: beg
pardon; here's your purse. Didn't
know you belonged to the profes-
sion; all right.'' at the same time
slipping into the amateurs hand
the purse he had extracted from his
pocket. The story may pass, fol-
although honor among thieves has
no existence, it is probable that
regular practitioners act on the
principle that dog should not eat
dog. That they ever go an inch
beyond that we do not believe, even
though we have it on the authority
of the GauZois that Charles Dick
ems once lost his watch at a theatre
in Paris, and found it at his hotel
with a note running: ''Sir: | hope
you will excuse me; but | thought

HOW THEIRS DECEIVED HIS
WIFE.

Not only are the French people fond
of dining and connoisseurs in dining, but
they may be appealed to on their CASTRO
nomic side. For instance, nothing pleas
es them better in M. Theirs than his we'll
known partiality for the good things of
life. M. Theirs great weakness was a
dish strictly Provencal and essentially
vulgar, called "brandade," consisting of
salt cod and oil, skillfully combined.
Doctors in late years forbade NJ. Theirs
to eat cod in any shape or form, and,
much as he wished for it, Nine. Theirs
was infexible. But M. Theirs had an
ally, NJ. Mignet, and from time to time
this gentlemen used to reach the Hotel
st. George with voluminous parcel I'M
der his arm. He would bow rapidly to
the ladies and pass into the great man 6
study. Then an urgent plea of important
work was pat forward, the doors were
locked, and intruders sent away.
Directly they were alone the two
friends undid the parcel. which was
simply tin box wrapped in newspa-
par, and containing an unctuous bran
dade. made by the best Provencal cook
in Paris. With lingering delight the
friends consumed this forbidden delicaey;
and, when the box was entirely empty
and the doors were unlocked, Theirs
would be heard exclaiming; "My dear
Mignet, it is the masterpiece of human
genius!" And every one thought he re-
ferred to some great literary achievement.
But Madame Theirs one day caught the
two culprits at their work, and reproach-
ed NJ. Iignet so severely that after that
he never dared enter the hotel with a
parcel under his arm.

A VOLCANIC LAKE.-M. de Less
cps is credited with describing on
his return to Europe a singular geo.
logical phenomenon. In the Re
public of San Salvador there is a
lake called Ilopango, and in Janu-
airy of this year, after a few pre-
monitory shocks Of earthquake,
three craters suddenly opened in
the middle Of the lake, and belched
forth immense volumes Of steam,
dust, and fiery cinders. By and by
the three vents merged into one,
and an islet of "tuff" and lava
uprose above the surface Of the
waters. Attempts were made to
approach this young volcanic island,
but the feat was found impossible,
owing to the boiling of the waters
and the showers of dust and clouds
of vapor enveloping it. According
to latest accounts, the new volca
no continues to vomit forth great
quantities of steam and virulent
gases. All the fishes of the lake
are parboiled, and float upon the
surface of the water amid the bod
les of innumerable dead shell fish
and aquatic animals. 1t is a signi-
ficant fact that the outburst was
preceded by an exceptional rise in
the level of the lake, owing to the
rains. This appears to be the first
instance on. record Of volcano
bursting up through the waters of
an inland lake; but submarine vol
canoes breaking out in the ocean
bed are no very rare phenomena.
