Certain interesting facts have been
noted by M. Delaunay with regard to the
influence of strychnine as poison, and
the state of the animal operated OF.
Strychnine affects more quickly and in
tensely strong frogs ratheS than weak
ones; frogs well fed than those which
had been fasting; frogs that had been
in vigorous exercise than those which
had been at rest, and frogs which had
been exercised after injection than those
which were not. Further, frog when
hung by the leg showed the influence
of the poison sooner than a frog sus-
pended by the head; an intact frog than
cne that had been bled, and the right
side of the frog than the left.
Some observations on meteors, con-
Quoted this year between July 25 and
July 80, were recorded in a paper by
MIR. Cruls, which was read before the
French academy on September 5. As
the horary average increased rapidly
between the evening and the morning
hours, and as remarkable recrudescenee
occurred Immediately before sunrise,
the presumption was that the stream OF
meteors moved in a direction opposite
to that of the earth. This conclusion
received further support from the fact
that the meteors soon after 5 A. NJ.
moved with great velocity, and were
very brilliant: Their direction was
probably very little inclined to the
plane of the ecliptic.

ness.

DR.. Sexton, leading biologist of
New York, thinks he has discovered a
connection between near-sightedness,
impaired hearing and defective teeth
the teeth furnish the starting point for
the disorder affecting the other two Or
gans. The fifth pair" OF nerves sup.
plies at oDce the teeth, the tissue OF
the nose, those Of the eye and ear, the
integuments OF the frontal and tenn
poral region, etc. A defective tooth
produces irritation of the whole region
thus supplied, and in fact often occa-7
sions severe cases Of neuralgia. Even
when there is no pain felt in tooth it
may yet be the cause of grave disorder
in the eye, ear or temple. Dementia,
it is claimed, is sometimes due to
tooth havingan the appearance OF sound
ness to the unprofessional eye.

Nosby,s Narrow EScaDeS.

Mosbv would run risks and take
chances which he would not order his
men to take. he was in Washington
three different times during the war; in
Baltimore four or five times, and ID
more than a dozen instances he pene-
trated the Federal lines for information:
Near Middletown he was once cut off
by Federal cavalry who held the pike
in both directions. When ordered to
surrender he drove his horse over the
stone wall and got away through the
fields. Three bullets pierced his cloth
ing, his horse was struck twice, and an
overcoat strapped to his saddle was
clean cut away by bullets. One day
while he was eating dinner in the Luray
Valley six Union cavalrymen walked in
en- him. They did not know
him as Mosby, but rightly con-
jectured that he was a guer-
rilla. As they attacked him he
shot two and dashed through window
and made of with one OF their horses.
he was once captured in Washington
while on a spying expedition, but
feigned drunkenness ana made dash
for liberty while on the way to the pro-
vost marshal's Office. At that time he
had plenty of proofs on his rerson to
have convicted him as spy. Near
Warrenton he one night rode with
tweaty-four men full upon a Federal
reserve picket Of at least hunt!ced
men. Both sides stood staring at each
other for moment and then Mosby
called out:
"Did any Of them mules come this
way?"
Haven't seen any," vas the reply.
"Cuss the critters-they stampeded
on u.s." growled the guerrilla, as he
turned his men and rode away.
Some OF his men had blue overcoats
on, some wore citizens clothes, and no
ore could say that they did net belong
to the Federal wagon trains.-Desroi'

For the noblest man that lives there
still remains conflict.
would rather be beaten IN night
than succeed in wrong.
Present evils always seem greater
than those that never come.
Growth IS better than permanenee,
and permanent growth is better than
all.
It is one of the precious mysteries OF
sorrow that it finds solace in the unselt-
ish thought.
statesmanship consists rather In re-
moving the causes than in Furnishing or
eYading results.
Ideas are the great warriors OF the
world, and war that has no ideas be-
hind it is simply brutality.
Eternity alone will reveal to the hu-
man race it's debt OF gratitude to the
peerless and immortal name OF Wash
ington.
I doubt if any man equaled samue
Adams in formulating and uttering the
fierce, clear and inexorable logic of the
Revolution.
Throughout the whole web Of na-
tional existence We trace the golden
thread of human progress toward the
higher and better estate.
Occasion may be the bugle call that
summons an army to battle, but the
blast of bugle can never make soldiers
or win victories.
It is as much the duty of all good men
70 protect and defend the rel lutation OF
WORTH public servants as to detectF2ss-
lie rascals.
An act OF bad faith on the part OF
State or municipal corporation, like
poison in the blood, will transmit its
curse to rising generations.
Bad faith on the partof an individual,
e. city, OF even State, is small e7li
in con,parison with the calamities which
follow bad faith on the part OF q SOY
ereign government.
If there be one thing upon this earth
that mankind love and admire better
than another, it is brave man; 1t Is
man who dares to look the devil IN the
face and tell him he is devil.

last thing, and bake Immediately.
For battercakes, mix with one quart
of -four two teaspoonfuls baking powder,
a teaspoonful of salt. milk to make a
batter, then add two eggs, whites and
yolks beaten separately, and bake i'm
mediately. Use as little grease as pos.
sible on the batter pan, and have it just
hot enough. As much almost depends
on the frying of the cakes as onthe mix
ing of fthem. Battercakes may be raised
by yeast or by sour milk, as we'll as by
baking powder. The best buckwheat
cakes are raised by yeast, and little
molasses is added to the batter when it
is mixed. Eggs should be added to the
batter just before baking. Boiled rice
may be added to battercakes, OF homi-
ny, or bread crumbs soaked in milk.
Gems belong to the family of biscuits
and battercakes, and are very easily
made. To make gems of unbolted
wheat: Mix with unbolted wheat

little salt, and heat it up we'll. Pour
into hot buttered iron-gem pans and
bake a light brown. Both pans and

hot before the dough is made. Butter
NAV be omitted, but the biscuit will not
be as nice for the omission. If sour
milk or buttermilk is used instead OF
baking powder, sift tesspoonful, OF
soda thoroughly with the -four, then
rub ir the butter and proceed as before.
More or less coda, according to the
acidity of the milk, should be used.
Hammered biscuit are made as fol-
lows: Into a pound and half OF flour
rub a pound of lard or butter and a
pinch of salt. Nix enough milk OF
water with it to make stiff dough.
Beat the dough well with a rolllng-pln
for half an hour or more, or until the
dough will break when pulled. Form
into little biscuit, prick them on the
top several times with folk, and bake.
Fancy biscuit are thus made: Into
three pints of -four mix teaspoonful
of salt, two teaspoonfuls of lard or but
ter, one teacupful Of warm milk. To
this add two eggs well beaten, and one
teacupful of homemade yeast. Mix
we'll and set in a warm place to rise,
which will take about five hours form
into biscuit; let them rise again and
bake. These are nice for tea, also ere
rusks made as follows: Melt four
ounces of butter in half q pint Of new
milk; add to this seven eggs well
beaten, gill of yeast and three ounces
of sugar pour this mixture gradually
into as much -four as will make thick
batter, and let it rise in q warm place
half an hour; then add -four till soft
dough is formed; knead it we'll, form
into small loaves, let them rise, and
then, bake them. When cold, slice
them and brown in the oven.
Mullins, wafles and battercakes are
all composed of precisely the same ma
terials. Sugar is sometimes used in
mullins and wafaes, but not IN batter
cakes. To make mullins, mix together
a quart Of fine -four, pint and half
of luke-warm milk, half teaspoonful
of yeast, couple Of beaten eggs, a
teassoonful of melted butter. Set the
batter in warm place, and when light

The Farming We Need.

a correspondent of the Germantown
Teseqrap6 says: The time has now
come when nothing bat high farming
will pay in this section of country,
since: the cheap and fertile lands of the
West are brought into such close and
sharp competition by cheap freights
and rapid transit. Old habits which
are not now paying must be abandoned,
and newer and better paying ores
adopted. Every acre OF til!able land
must be made to yield its treasures with
the least possible expense. When one
hundred bushels of corn per acre can
be produced, We must not be satisfied
with fifty bushels. If q new imple-
ment can do the work of two men with
an old one, the old one should be
laid BY and the new one used. If there
is not enough manure to go all over the
common ground, We must buy some
wen-tried fertilizer that will increase
the product. 1t is all folly to continue
to farm poor land when it is possible to
enrich it. The expense of farming poor
land is greater than thatattending richer
land, and the labor more discouraging.
There must be moro general attention
given to dairy products, the cultivation
Of small fruits and the raising of poul-
try. The old system of pasturage will
have to give way before the onward
march Of soi!ing and the no-fencing sys-
tenn. The road master, wiSL his gang
of full hands and half-grown boys,
must yield to the new read scraper and
smoother. To which We may add that
the time has arrived, even in our neigh
boring counties, where more systematic
method and higher farming are eSpe-
dient, in order to produce satisfactory
results. On our best bottom land the
old corn and hay and clover methods
may yet satisfy the farmer, but even he
could Experience benefit By needing the
admonitions Of the aooya extract.

TRI-WEEKLY EDITION.
Life's True Significance.
Deeper than all sense Of seeing

Deeper than all sense Of seeing
Lies the secret source Of being,
And the soul with truth agreeing,
Learps to live in thoughts and deeds;
For the life is more than raiment,
And the earth is pledged for payment
Unto man for all his needs.
Nature is eur common mother,
Every living man our brother,
Therefore let US serve each other:
Not to meet the laws behests,
But because through cheerful giving :
We shall learn the art Of living;
And to live and serve IS best.
Life IS more than what man fancies!
Not a game of idle chances;
But it steadily advances
Up the the rugged heights of time,
Till each complex web Of trouble,
Every sad hopes broken bubble,
Hath meaning most sublime.
More of religion, less ofprofession;
More Of frmness. less concession;
More Of freedom, less oppression,
In the church and in the state;
More OF life and less of fashion;
More ofIove and less of passion;
That win make US good and great.
When true hearts divinely gifted,
From the chaf of error gifted,
On their crosses sre uplifted,
Shall the world most clearly see,
That earth's greatest time Of t-ial
Calls for holy self-denial,
Calls on men to do and be.
But forever and forever
Let it be the souFs endeavor
Love from hatred to 6ssever,
And in whatsoe'er we do,
Won by loves eternal beauty,
To our highest sense Of duty
EYernore be firm and true.

FACTS AND COMMENTS.

It appears that if any one wants to go
out in the ocean three miles from the
American or British shore and cut a
telegraph cable he can do so with I'M
punitv. No country would have Juris-
diction over him. It would not seem
that there could be much danger OF
cable.cutting so far out, but the cleo
tric congress in Paris wants protective
measures taken.
Vaccination as practiced in China has
two peculiar features. The subject IS
not operated on the arm OF leg: but IN
the nose; and the government, while 1t
does not compel people to submit to
the operation, practically reaches the
same end that it would by doing so, by
Offering to parents fer every child vac
cinated premium Of 100 copper cash,
which amounts to about ten cents, and,
for a Door Chinaman in his own country,
sum not altogether to be desplsed.
The Mormon priests, in their ser
mons, are telling their deluded follow
ers that if they had been called they
could have saved the Presidents life
simply by laying Oh of hands. The
Salt Lake Tribune, a fearless paper,
that has for years been painful thorn
in the side Of the Mormon church, per
tinently asks the wise healers: why
didn't they save their Prophet Brigham
in that way? Why didn't they save the
sixty Mormon children that died IN
Salt Lake in August by that simple
process? The frauds shouldn't all
answer at once"
J. V. Sears, in an article entitled
housekeeping Hereafter" in the Ill
lantic Monthly, predicts great changes
in the future in housekeeping methods:
He thinks that every fifty families will
be provided with centralized estao,
lishment, from which heat, light and
power will be furnished, while the do
nestle supplies Of each house Will be
delivered through pneumatic tubes.
There will be common oven and laun-
dry. There will be no coal ashes to
take out, and many other present an
noyances will be avoided. This sys-
ten, it is maintained, will also result IN
reducing expenses.
Is nothing in this world what it
seems? Most people would say that
