Scientific Scinti atiOnS.

German psychologists have been expert
menting to ascertain the best mode of re-
storing frozen animal life, and they an
nounce that the hitherto accepted theory
that persons who have been exposed too
long to extreme cold should not be brought
into contact with warmth except by slow
degrees is wholly erroneous. Dogs were
frozen by artificial applications of cold I'M
til breathing and pulsation had almost
wholly ceased, and then attempts were
made to restore twenty of them in a cold
room, twenty i'll a warm room, and twenty
in bath of warm water. OF the first four
teen died; of the second eight; of the last,
none. The warm bath brought about res
toration in remarkably short time.
In paper on dew and fogs, Herr Dimes
says that morning fog along the river course
arises when the water is warmer than the
air over it. the evaporation going on more
quickly than the vapor can be carried away,
and is, therefore, condensed and spread as
fog. The evening fog On moist low lying
meadow land he attributes to a lowering of
the temperature of the grass surface by IA
iliation, and a consequent condensation of
the acqueous vapor in the lowest layers of
the atmosphere.
Statistics show that since 1854 there has
been an increase of risk from lightning in
various parts of Germany, Austria, and
Switzerland, while there is no corresponding
increase in the number of thunder storms.
Herr Holtz, who has been investigating IL ;
matter inchnes to the belief that causes Tor
the greater liability Of danger from lightning
are to be sough in the changes produced Of
late by man on the surface of the earth
such as the clearing of forests, the increase
of railroads, and the great use of iron made
in the construction of houses.
At the last Paris exhibition, considerable
attention was drawn to some muslin curtains
to which fame was constantly applied
without setting them on fire. The chemi-
cal composition of the substance which
rendered them incombustible, as recently
made known, was so parts pure sulphate of
ammonia, Is Of carbonate ammonia, 80 of
boracc acid, - of pure borax, 20 of starch,
and 1000 of distilled or pure water. The
materials to be rendered fire resisting are
dipped in this solution while it is hot, SO as
to insure thorough impregnation, and when
well dried, are ironed as ordinary starched
fabrics.

Detroit, Becker county has had a sensation
in the sudden disappearance of Mrs. Nellie
Winslow, wife of Joseph Winslow who is now
in the pineries She left letter to step-son
commencing her baby, two years old, to his
care, and saying he would never see her again,
and requesting him to tell his father that he
would never see her again. Mrs. Winslow is a
young womsn Of fine personal appearance and
very dashing manner, and is about twenty four
years old. She was married about five years
ago to Joseph Winslow, then merchant in the
southern part of the State, and for the past
winter foreman blacksmith in the timber
camp of Walker, on Clearwater lake.
Mr. Winslow is very sociabie and pleasant
gentleman, and to all appearances provides well
for his family, they having comfortable home,
good clothes, ETC., and no one can surmise why
she left so nice home, unless it was under the
beguiling influence Of good looking, affable
st. Paul runner, who had been assiduously
culiyating an acquaintance with her.

She Was the Wrong Woman.
l the Boston Traveller

from Tile BOStOQ Traveller.
The days of romance are not past A
Cuban planter visiting New York saw a
charming woman on Brooklyn ferry boat,
and fell in love with her. He traced her to
her home, and learned that she was
widow most respectfully connected. He
was called to Cuba, and wrote her letter
full of affection, and giving references.
Her friends inquired and found that he was
desirable match. She replied to the let
ter. He responded. She w1ote and he
wrote until there was an offer of marriage
and an acceptance, and the wedding day
was fixed. She prepared her bridal robe
and he returned to New York. They met
at the house of one of her friends, she
wondering how he looked, he anticipating
a second vision of beauty. She saw a
handsome man; he looked and screamed,
You are the wrong woman!" And SO it was.
They had neglected to exchange photo
graphs. She remains a wi low, and he
haunts the Brooklyn ferry boats for another
vision

Remedy for sprains.

A writer in the New York Tribune says:

wood-ashes an infalible remedy for sprains.
It should not be strong enough to break the

The cheek of certain class of Washing
ton claim agents is well illustrated by the
fact that Gen. Charles D. Gilmore of that
city, has commenced civil suit against Hon.
Carl Schurz, the late secretary of the In
terror, for damages alleged to have been
caused by the disbarment of Gilmore from
Practice in the Interior department.. Gen.
Gilmore estimates his damages at $3,00O,-
600 special and $4,000 general damages.
The exhibits in this case allege that the
number of cases in which Gilmore & Co.
are attorneys shows about Al, 600 clients,
with fees aggregating $2,764, 1856. These
exhibits cover l 200 pages Of legal cap. :

A Chapter on Good Manners.

This is grace of which American women
are becoming careless. They are so beau
iful as race, SO accustomed to conquest,
that perhaps they are getting to believe that
Pope's line, Look in her face and you for
get them all, applies to manners; but a
beautiful woman without good manners is
a flower without fragrance She is worse;
she becomes positive nuisance, presum-
ing on her beauty and abusing one of Gods
great gifts. You must look at her, but you
look to regret, to disapprove, instead of be-
ing chained for life to ''sweet looks married
to graceful action, you grow to despise and
hate her. In country like ours we must
expect to find frequent coupling of ignor-
ance with wealth, of official station with
awkwardness, of high social position with
bad manners-combination more rarely
remarked in the older and more settled
states of the world. Kings and queens
must be decently well bred and well edu-
Gated. They cannot help knowing the prop
er way to eat dinner; they cannot help
observing the proprieties of dress and Ell
quette, and the people Immediately about
such necessity exists here. We may have
tirely untrammelled by the laws of gram
mar and of spelling, who uses mis- own sweet
will in regard to his knife and fork, and
who is still the proper person to receive the
representatives Of foreign power. In our
cities how sickening it is to see the poten-
TALLY of some vulgar rich man who can
buy the crowd" in more sense than one.
How mournful to note the absence of good
manners in some Of our prominent literary
and religious celebrites-men whom you
hesitate to ask to your house, although their
talents are exercising so much influence on
the world, and their names are on every
bodys lips. The trouble lies in a deficiency
of respect, a lack of training, an absence of
something to look up to. The best bred
men in America are the officers of the regu-
lar army and navy They have been taught
to look up to, to reverence authority and to
be respectful. It never leaves them; they
become the most dignified and the most
simple men in the community. When wo-
men reach larger grasp of the subject and
observe this great rule, that the possession
of power is better than the show of it, y
they will have advanced far beyond their
present status. The end and aim IF the
weak and the uncertain is to appear strong
and well posted, at whatever cost. It has
apparently struck some women in the So
ciety of our new country, which must be on
a shifting scale, that they appear to stand
well by being disagreeable; that an air of
hGMteur and rudeness is becoming and aris-
tocratic. It is the mistake of ignorance, and
would be soon cured bya careful study Of
the best models in Europe

Life Insurance Companies Brought Il
Time.

Judge Folger in the New York court of
appeals, has rendereda decision in which
all the judges concur, against the Germania,
Washington, Manhattan, Metropolitan,
Homeopathic and Brooklyn Life Insurance
companies in the celebrated Dwight case.
Col. Walton Dwight was well known citi-
zen of Binghamton, N. Y. Between Aug.
10 and Sept. II, 1878, he obtained $4,000
III the Equitable Life Assurance society of
New York; 500, 900 in the Manhattan; SIS
900 each in the Germania of New York,
Mutual benefit of Newark and Northwestern
of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; $l0, 900 each in
the New York Life, Washington of New
York, United States of New York; Metro
politan of New York; Etna of Hartford;
Travellers Of Hartford; Union Mutual of
Augusta, Me. National of Montpelier, VT;
New England mutual of Boston: State Mu-
tual of Worcester, Massachusetts;
Mutual of Springfield; Berkshire of
Pittsfeld, Mass; and $4,000 each in the
Brooklyn of New York, and National of
Chicago; a total of 1855, 900. Each of them
was on the plan of Quarterly payments
When the insurance companies at general
meeting learned that Col. Dwight had taken
out policies in all their companies they be-
came suspicious Of an attempt to play them
some trick. One company even sent to
him on his death bed, and said so in SO
many words. The colonel died October Is.
The case excited much interest. The in
surance companies refused to pay, alleging
suicide with the intention of defraudfng
them. The Equitable society finally deci-
ded to and did pay the amount of the claim
against it. The Home company followed
suit. The other companies resolved to
fight their claims in the court.

Aparty of travellers from Mankato to New
Ulm, who had been refused shelter from the
severe storm on the night of the 18th int put
up for the night in school house near Court
land station, taking their horses in with them,
and the next morning they were fined $40 and
costs. The party had applied for shelter to
four or five well-to-do farmers, and although
they offered to pay literally, they were refused,
and were finally compelled to seek shelter in
the school house.
Maple Grove, Hennepin county, was excited
by the disappearance of young man named
Elan RUSSELL living at his fathers farm, who
was supposed to have abducted with him a
young girl named Ida Ray, but investigation of
the record of the clerk of the court at Mime
apolis revealed the surprising fact that mar
riage license was granted to Elan B. Russell
and Ida Ray, only a day or two ago. This Is
sufficient to knock the abduction theory, set up
by the girls parents, into ''the middle of next
week!'

BITS OF INFORMATION.

Tolls were first paid by vessels pass
ing the slade on the river Elbe, 1l09.
In England, toll-bars originated in 1867,
a penny being asked for every wagon
that passed through certain manor,
and the first regular toll was collected q
few years later for mending the road in
London, between St Giles and Temple
Bar. .-..
The invention Of music Is uncertain.
Lucretius ascribes it to the whistling of

THE mark which persons who are un-
able to write are compelled to make in
stead of their signatures Is constantly
referred to as an instance of the igno-
rance of ancient times. It is not, how
ever, invariably, proof Of such igno-
rance. Anciently the mark was not con-
fined to iliterate persons. Among the
Saxons the mark of the cross was re-
-, l. l..
of those who could write, and to stand
in the place of the signatures of those
who could not write, as an attestation of
the good faith of the person signing. In
those days if man could write, or even
read, it was proof that he was in holy
orders. The ancient use of the cross was
thereto universal, and was the symbol
of an efA from its sacred associations,
as wei as lle mark generally adopted.
NEGRO slavery was introduced into the
present territory of the United States /
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by
merchants of Liverpool, England. On
Jan. 81, 1865, the final vote was taken in J
Congress submitting to the States for :
their approval and ratification the fol- /
lowing amendment to the constitution
+" Article Kill Neither slavery nor in 1
servitude, except as punish 4
ment for crime, whereof the party shall .
have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any
place subject to their jurisdiction" On
Dec. Is, 1865, the Secretary of State
issued his proclamation declaring that
this amendment had been approved by
the Legislatures of Illinois, Rhode Isl
and, Michigan, New York, West Vir-
ginia, Maine, Kansas, Massachusetts,,
Virginia, Ohio, Missouri,
Nevada, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Vermont, Tennessee, Arkan-

Alabama, North Carolina, and
Georgia in all, 27 out of SO States, and
was consequently adopted.
