The Norri,town (pa.) Herald II a
recent issue referred among Others to
the following cases of special interest.
They are their own commentary. MIR.
Samuel c. Nyce resides at 308 Marshall
street, and holds the responsible position
of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr.
Nyce and family were IN the country
recently, his boy. aged three years, fell
and broke his leg. He recovered, bat a
very troublesome stiffness set III and he
could scarcely use the leg. The injured
limb was rubbed several times with st.
Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was so much
reduced that the boy was able to use his
leg freely. Dr. Knipe said it was theuse
of St. Jacobs Oil that cured the stiff
ness. Mr.. Nyce himself used the Great
German Remedy fer toothache with good
effect, and also for sprain and pains of
rheumatic nature, and always with good
effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks
the Oil is a splendid thing, and she
always keeps it on hand.

Corerinr Roilers MIN SiIk.

II is well known that silk is an excel
lent nOn-conductOr of heat, and some
recent experiments in Germany would
seem to indicate that II might pay to
incase boilers in this costly material
In one trial three boilers of the same
size and make were ranged in order, one
covered with the ordinary felt, another
with q coating of silk only five eighths
Of the thickness Of the felt, while the
third was left altogether uncovered.
They were all filed with water having a
temperature of 100 degrees CCntigrade,
and examined at intervals. After the
lapse Of three hours 1t was found that
the unprotected boiler had lost twelve
degrees of heat, and the other two each
two degrees. After a further lapse of
thirty three hours, the felt-covered boiler
had lost thirteen and n half degrees, and
that covered with silk only fourteen, so
that there was no appreciable difference
between the protective powers OF the silk
and those of a casing of felt nearly twice
its thickness. With regard to the cost
of the material, 1t IS said that IN all silk
manufactures there are waste scraps
which it would be difficult or impossible
to utilize IN the trade. These can, 1t Is
asserted, be Made up into bands and
rolls, costing comparatively little, and
sold at a profit to the makers and users
of boilers As to the lasting and wear
ing powers of silk rs compared with felt,
nothing is said, and there has not, per
haps, been time to apply an adequate
test but it Is, at the least, possible that
in this respect the finer substance may
possess great advantages over the cOarser
and cheaper.

Near.Sightedness.

Education NAV create discomforts as
well as secure great advantages. The
German nation is threatened with a pc
culiar trouble of the eyes, as IA penalty
for reading badly printed books and for
unwise methods OF study. A careful in
vestigation Of the schools by competent
physicians has revealed the unpleasant
fact that near-sightedness Is growing
common. and may become universal
In children of five years and under, it
was rarely found the vision was quite
perfect In the lower schools, from fiji
teen to twenty per cent. of the scholars
were effected in the higher schools,
from forty to fifty per cent. In the
theological department of the University,
seventy per cent. of the students were
troubled and in the medical department
the misfortune was almost universal,
only five per cent. not being thus
afflicted.
The physicians .ascribe the difficulty
to the practice of holding the books too
near the eyes, and the practice is due in
a large measure to the poor print of
cheap books
The trouble is increasing In our own
country, and it might be wise to have a
similar examination Of our OWN schools
by skillful physicians, il order to call
public attention to the evil. Morgan

A Now York Preacher

A New York preacher, in a sermon to
young ladies, repeated a few. of the
pungent things that had been said about
their sex. One writer he quoted as the
author of the disrespectful proverb:
There were only two good women.
One is dead and the other was never
found" The Chinese say that woman's
tongue Is her sword, and she never lets
it rest DR.. Payson wrote: "a welded
man is like bird with broken wing.
He may hutter, but he never can fly. J"
Among the Amazonians candidates for
nuptial honors had their hands tied in a
paper bag filled with fire ants If they
survived the painful ordeal they were
considered fitted for the trials of matri-
mony. The following are some of the
pertinent SMILES employed: Woman
is like the snail because she loves her
own house best; and she is unlike the
snail, who carries all he possesses upon
his back. She is like an echo, which
speaks when spoken to, and unlike the
echo, which always has the last word.
She is like the town clock, which per-
forms its work regularly, and on time,
and unlike it because her voice is not
heard all over. the city"

Will A Railroad Ever Gross the Sahara

Some years ago Victor Hugo made an
after-dinner speech in relation to the
possible future of Africa, which was
ridiculed even by people possessed of an
intelligent imagination. The ground
which the great poet took was that, per
haps many centuries hence, Africa would
develop a civilization of her own as
wonderful In its way as any civilization
that has yet existed. Surely, it If not
more remarkable that IN course of time
highly cultivated race should develop
from negroes than that human beings be
evolved from the quadrumana-and the
latter is theory almost universally ac-
cepted at present by the scientific
world 1t is not known whether the
project in contemplation by the French,
of building a railroad across the Sahara,
will have any effect in Fastening the
realization of Victor Hugo's dream. The
idea is to construct a road of this kind
from the head waters of the Niger to
the French possessions in Africa, and
then to form union with another rail
road running east from Senegal. There
are numerous obstacles at present III the
way of this project being carried out.
1t has long been cherised by the French
nation. however, and there is every
probability that it will one day be fully
carried out.

A poor friendless lad might have been
seen wandering along the streets looking
for employment. He presently halted
in front of butcher shop, and, walking
boldly up to the proprietor, asked for

get some beef, and the proprietor told
him to attend to the customer.

first families get, responded the boy
smilingly as he sliced off four pounds Of

time to recoil.
six pounds and half, madam, he
said, looking her square IN the face with
his clear blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him
in that night, and remarking that he had
watched his course carefully, added that
as a reward for his quick, comprehensive
grasp of the business he would raise his
salary to S25 per week. This shows the
advantage of doing everything well, and

Newspapers, like all other embodi-
ments of enterprise, can occasionally
indulge in conclusions IN predicting that
the manifest destiny Of at least one-half
of Canada population was TO emigrate
to the United States The foundation
for tins assertion Is found IN the advice
of the Marquis of L1rne. who presses
the necessity of English women emf
grating to Canada. The Governor-Gen-
eral, like a wise Canadian. suggests that
such emigration should he encouraged.
Although English womerR Of the class
who would be likely to emigrate Of their
own free viii would find the UHited
States more promising destination than
Canada, they will undoubtedly in Canada
exert a favorable influence on the p0pu-
lation, for thev VIII not only keep at
least an equal number of young men
from straying South Of the st. Lawrence,
but they Will cause many Americans TO
make excuses for visiting the Dominion.
Canada may not for her own sake be
particularly attractive to Americans, but
if ship-loads of manageable English
women are TO land there, young Amer
leans may be depended upon to be there
in force to look at them. Canada never
made a wiser move.-N J. Herald

Cronnlnc the Hair.

Atlehgth 1t appears, says an exchange,
that radical change in the fashion of
arranging womans greatest glory, her
halr, is really to take place. We hear
rumoIs OF impending innovation from
headquarters - In other words, from
Paris. 1t Is probable, though, that they
Will here be simply voices in the air and
nothing more for some time still First,
because new fashion never gets fairly
started with us until it is almost an old
one on the other side (this statement
may sound both unfair and unpleasant,
but 1t Is literally exact, neyertheless),
and then become the close, prim, de-
mure little couture E1ngldiSe which
Is now Worn, and has been for the past
two years or more, is exceptionally
suited to the small, delicate head and
slim lace Of the average American
woman. 1t IS not So well suited to the
piquant, irregular featured "minors" of
the ParlAeanes, however Therefore
they have begun to adopt looser, softer,
less severe style of couture.
The hair will, during the winter, 1t
seems, be worn lower on the neck in
coils, bralds, or curls. and in the even
ing, when flowers are added, they viii
be mounted IN trailing sprays and gar
braids, or curls. The latter (the curlsl
are apparently destined again TO most
especial favor. And there have been re-

like a boys, and curled IN fluffy rings

ago.
There are faces to which it is an IN

as to its being generally becoming, or

had adoptrd this couture, with a black

absolute perfection. But then there are
hosts of women who, after they have
made the sacrifice Of hair for a passing
of fashion. look anything but well with
! cropped and curly Leads-In fact, look
( quite decidedly the opposite from well.
+ And II Is no small sacrifice for a woman

hired a wicked murderer TO smother two
little princes in great big tower. SO
the wicked murderer went to do his
work with two fine goose feather pillows.
The little princes tried to melt the iron
heart OF the wicked murderer. but they
had no fire to put the heart in. and could
not do It, and he got ready 10 finish his
Job. When he came to item they wept
piteously, and cried, ooh. do not XII

The Idol Of Hindoo Women.

Hindoo girls are taught to think of mar
riage almost as soon as they can talk in
deed, they are often contracted in mar
riage at six or seven years OF age, and
go to live with their husbands at twelve
or thirteen. Before this, at the age of
five, they are taught to propitate the
gods IN order to secure a good husband,
and then little minds are distracted by
the idea OF what model husband ought
to be. The orthodox conception is a
husband likethe god silva, who was holy,
austerc, adyance1iu years, and faithful
and devoted to one wife, the goddess
Doorga. Good little girls revolt at the
idea of husband marrying a second
wife while the first is alive, and will con-
sequently confess their anxiety to marry
a faithful spouse like silva, and they
learn from their elders to utter the most
vindictive speeches against their rival
wife. But, for ali that, Krishna is the
idol of Hindoo women, and he was any
thing but faithful to one wife. He not
only kicked over her milk pans, ran
away with the clothes of the milk maids,
but danced and firted with other mems
wives, eloped with royal damsels, and
married an infinite number of beautiful
women.
