double fold of flannel on the painful
part, and move the iron to and fro on

ment. My doctor told me some time
since a professor in one of our colleges,
after suffering some days with neural
gia in the head, which he himself had
tried to cure, sent for the former, who
prescribed a hot flat-iron. The next
time the doctor saw the professor, the
latter exclaimed with mock anger
Il really shall not pay you any fee!
What! had no sooner applied the heat
ed iron to my head than instantly all
pain vanished! That is as simple as
good-day; surely you cannot expect a
fee for so simple servicer'
My physician was summoned recent
ly TO the bedside of woman who had
neuralgia in both sides, and so Violently
that she alarmed the whole neighbor-
hood by the screams which her intolera-
BILE anguish wrung from her. She was
taken from her bed and borne near the
fire. In such severe cases heated iron
is not energetic enough. He has an
iron rod fastened in an ivory handle.
He heats this rod to white heat (Which
causes less pain than red heat) and APP
plies it very slightly to the seat of pain,
first in longitudinal, then in latitudinal
lines. The application is so light that
no trace is left but red lines on the cpl
dermis, which are soon effaced. In
twenty minutes the woman walked back
to bed, and the third day afterward
quilted it, entirely freed from neuralgia.
This instrument is not to be entrusted
to awkward hands. Three weeks ago
one of our brilliant artists was invited to
shoot by the owner of q chateau in
whose grounds there are wild fowl in
abundance. He woke, the morning af-
ter arriving at this gentleman's house,
with sciatica in his right thigh. The
nearest doctor was sent for. He said he
could do nothing which would give the
patient immediate relief. The artist is
a patient of my physician and told the
doctor what to do. The latter declined
taking the responsibility of any such
violent treatment. The artist insisted,
however, and the doctor applied an iron
rod heated to white heat, but so awk-
wardly that the patient has scars the
size of a five franc piece on his thigh.
He was nevertheless cured, and enjoyed
a weeks sport without another twitch

A Beautiful Experiment.

A pretty experiment has been recent
ly tried by the Belgian physicist, M.
Plateau. He bends fine iron wire so as
to present the contour of a flower of six
petals. The central ring to which the
petals are attached is supported on q
forking stem, which is stuck in piece
of wood. After oxidizing the wire slight
ly with weak nitric acid the flower is
lightly dipped in glycerine liquid so as
to receive films in the petals and the
central part. 1t is then turned up, placed
on table and covered with bell jar.
For little at first it appears colorless,
but soon a striking play Of colors COM
mences. In the experiment M. Plateau
describes. the flower continued showing
its notifications of color for ten hours,
when dusk put an end to observation.
Next morning several petals had burst.
The liquid used was of a very mediocre
quality. M. Plateau recommends prep
aration of the liquid thus: Dissolve
fresh piece of Marseilles soap, cut mp in
to small pieces, in forty parts by weight
of hot distilled water. Filter after cool
ing, and mix thoroughly three volumes
of the solution with two glycerine. The
solution should be left at rest till air
bubbles are gone.

Tale of the Sea.

One of the very funniest stories ever
heard comes from the log of the ship
Gladstone, says the Sydney Mail. Down
in the roaring forties a seaman fell over
board, and went down into the deep
green gulf without the faintest possible
hope Of coming on board again. It is
not an easy thing to find a man, even if
he does keep afoat, when deep calls I'M
to deep, and the big sea-mountains skip
like young lambs in those ATTITUDES But
as this man rose after the first header,
right alongside he beheld an albatross.
and around that albatrossis neck he
folded an arm, and doubtless with the
other hand made sure grip of the
wicked, hooked bill, and with much
tapping and Houndering. and doubt
less strange conversation between man
and bird. he held on till the boat got
down and lifted him in. What tale the

Jennie Westhrool, the young woman
who was arrested in New York for wear
ing male attire, was not sent to Black
wells island. the place for conviets, but
to Wards island, where is less penal
protective institution. Her case, how
ever, has awakened deep interest, since
it only seems to be due to an effort to
escape from that bondage to which So
cial laws have subjected the sex. Her
excuse simply was that she could make
$50 week in her disguise, while as a
..saleslady'' in a fashionable store the
pay would be only one-third of that
amount. Such being the facts in the
case, the public feels more inclined to
pity than to censure.

She Thought It Was Her Brother, but Took
the Chances,

Travelling into town about dusk, Mr..
Hendricks had occasion to call at the
mansion of an esteemed friend, who
had, among other worldly possessions,
two or three very fine daughters. He
had scarcely knocked at the door when
it was opened by one of those blooming
maidens, who, as quick as thought, threw
her arms around his neck, and before
he had time to say 'sOh, don'tr' pressed
her warm, delicate lips to his, and gave
him as sweet a kiss as ever swain desir-
ed or deserved. In utter establishment,
the worthy gentleman was endeavoring
to stammer out something, when the
damsel exclaimed:
.sOh, mercy, mercy Mr.. Hendricks,
is this you? thought it was my brother
Charley"
..Pshawr' thought the gentleman to
himself, ''you didn't think any such
thing" But taking her hand, he said,
in a foreiving tone, There's no harm
done; don't give yourself any uneasi-
ness; though YOU ought to be a little
more careful. "
After this gentle reproof, he was ush-
cred in the parlor by the maiden, who,
as she came to the light, could not con-
ceal the deep blush that glowed upon
her cheeks, while the boquet that was
pinned upon her bosom shook like
fower-garden in an earthquake. When
he rose to depart it fell to her to wait
upon him to the door; and it may be adj
ded that they there held discourse to-
pether for some minutes-on what sub
iect, it is not for us to say. As the
warm-hearted youth plodded homeward,
he argued with himself in this wise:
Miss Allen knew it was who knocked
at the door, or how did she recognize me
before / spoke? And is it probable that
her brother would knock before enter
ing? She must be desperately in
Pshawl Why, if she loves brother at
that rate. how must she love husbandg
For, by the great squash, never felt
such kiss in my life"
Three weeks after the incident above
described, Mr. Hendricks was married
to Miss Allen Did she ever confess
that the kissing was not mistake?
Probably not.

news, and its observations may be bril-

which is more important than its physi

the public and the press which makes
