The most alarming fact, in our sanitary con-
ditions is the prevalence OF MALARIAL Pol
SON not only in marshy, low-lying districts,
but in the cities and upon elevated ground
where. few years ago it was unheard Of.
Frequently fatal disorders of the digestive
functions, wasted and enfeebled body and even
insanity are the dire effects OF malarial poison
ing, the sure precursors OF DEATH if the poison
is not neutralZed. The bOatmen on the Del. &
Hudson canal, as well as the inhabitants OF
the surrounding country, have been great suf-
ferers from MALARIA. Not until few years
past did they find a reliable remedy. Now
thousands testify that there is hut one real and
speedy cure for Inalarial poisoning and that is

Nine. Mndieska In I,nnk

A private letter from Warsaw, in
Poland, says The Dramatic Times, tells
an interesting incident in connection
with Nine. Modjeska. She herself is of
plebeian extraction, but her husbands S
family are of a long and noble descent.
They were intimately concerned in the
Polish insurrection of 1868. Some vera

JeSre. has been making an effort for
three years to get the confiscations de-
creed against the family remitted. She
had made pretty fair progress under
the administration of Alexander IL, but
his sudden death brought it to an end,
and the feeling in Russia against the
roles was greatly embittered at the
time. 1t was not until this summer
that Nine. Modieska dared to make any
new move. While in Russia she had
made the acquaintance of a high Rus
sian dignitary-Schouvaloff, / believe.
At any rate he advised her to go straight
to the empress of Russia, and promised
TO get her special audience. She start
ed for st. Petersburg, but when there,
spite of Schouyalof's influence, she
being Pole, excited suspicion in the
minds Of timid officials. Never daunted,
she tried and tried again, and at length
was admitted TO private interview
with the empress, the emperor being
present. Two days after, decree was
published, granting amnesty to the rel
atives of her husband, and restoring
their estates.

tury. 1t does not appear that Europe
is entitled to the honor of the invention,
but that it is rather to be ascribed to
the Saracens. Watches were used in
the reign of Henry VIII. of England
Dante was the first author who men
tions a clock that struck the hour; he
was born in 1865, and died in 1321-so
that striking clocks could not have been
very uncommon in Italy at the latter
end of the thirteenth century, or the be-
ginning of the fourteenth. But the use
of clocks was not confined to Italy at
this period, for there was an artist in
England about the same time who fur

Westminster Hall with clock to be

How Animals Help Each Other.

Darwin in his descent of Man. has
many kind things to say about animals.
Social animals, he tells US, perform
many little services for each other.
Horses nibble and cows lick each other.
Monkeys pick from each other thorns
and burs and parasites. Wolves, and
some other beasts of prey, hunt in packs,
and aid each other in attacking their
victims. Pelicans fish in concert. The
Hamadryas baboons turn over stones to
find insects, etc., and when they come
to large one. as many as can stand
round turn it over together, and share
the booty.
Social animals mutually defend each
other. Brehm encountered in Abyssinia
a great troop of balloons which were
crossing a valley; the latter were attack
ed by the dogs, but the old males i'm
mediately hurried down from the rocks,
and, with mouths wide opened, roared
so fearfully that the dogs precipitatelJ
retreated. Theywere again encouraged
to the attack; but by this time all the
balloons had re-ascended the heights,
excepting young one about six months
old, who, loudly calling for aid, climbed
on block of rock, and was surrounded.
Now, one of the largest males, a true
hero, came down again from the Noun
tain, slowly went to the young one, ,coaxed
him, and triumphantly led him away,
the dogs being too much astonished to
make an attack
On another occasion, an eagle seized
a young monkey, which, by clinging to
a branch, was not at once carried off;
it cried loudly for assistance, upon
which the other members of the troop,
with much uproar, rushed to the rescue,
surrounded the eagle, and pulled out so
many feathers that he no longer thought
OF his prey, but only how to escape.

g - nas neen o''served that the manu-
i.sesl1~ "a pichromate of potash has
singular effect upon the nose, manifest
ing itself in a curious manner. A little
hole is formed on the septum or parti-
ton of the nose dividing the nostrils,
and increases gradually until the parti-
tion entirely disappears, with the eXcep-
tion of its lower part, so that to su-
perficial observer there is nothing the
matter with the nose, except a little
outward depression. 1t is noticed that
as soon as the partition is destroyed the
process appears to stop there, neither
the lungs, air-tubes, nor throat being in
the least degree affected. Some work
men at the chrome factory in Russia,
where the disease has been chiefly
watched, have been employed for ten
years and remained unaffected, while
with others the hole in the nose begins
to be formed after one months work.
But that the disease is something more
than an individual peculiarity is evident
from the fact that an inspection of all
the hands proved that more than so per
cent of the men had diseased noses.
The earl Y symptoms are slight tick
ling of the part affected, followed by
bleeding, but with no uncomfortable
feelings, and, in fact, the destructive
process is painless.-LOndon Times.

~ uin-Fashioned Log Schoolhouse,

1t was built of small tamarack logs,
chinked between with moss from the
swamps. The floor was of rough oak
boards laid loose, with cracks between,
that were standing threat to jack
knives and slate pencils. The seats and
desks were of the same material, rough
ly planed and rudely put together. The
seats were arranged around the room
on three sides, and all the scholars sat
facing each other; the girls on one side,
and the boys on the other. The seats
across the end were debatable ground
between the two, but finally came to be
monopolized by the larger boys and
girls, who, by some strange attraction,
gravitated together. Between us was
an open space in which the stove stood,
and where classes were drawn up to re-
cite. The teachers desk stood at the
other end, facing this quadrilateral, and
so enabling the teacher to take in the
whole school at glance.

New Stories About Animals.

Two Indians caught ine-sized stur-
geon in the Columbia River, near Uma-
tilla House, weighing 500 pounds. The
method of catching is to set line with
a large hook attached baited with beef.
The line is several hundred feet long,
and such fish makes lots of fun before
it is landed.
An owl was killed near Yankee Hill,
Butte county, Cal. last week, attached
to one leg of which. with piece of an

coinage of 1856. The bird was an aged
one, apparently, and the coin looked as
If it had been carried for many years.
In Pike County, Miss, a huge bear
entered the house of Eli Crawford and
attempted to carry off the largest child.
A faithful dog attacked it and compelled
it to drop its burden, but it then seized
another of the children and had got
some distance before the same watchful
canine made the second rescue.
Andrew Jackson Hyatt, a White
Plains On. Y lawyer has an old dog
named Mack, about which a good story
is told. Mack is native of Virginia,
and, like Virginians, has strong hold
upon longevity. He first saw the light
OF the Virginia sun in 1868, while his
maternal relative was following the
fortunes of McClellan's army. About
two weeks ago Mack had slight mis-
understanding with country dog in
town on business. Mack's ear by some
unexplained accident became fastened
between the other dogs teeth, and in
getting it out the ear was somewhat
SCARED and disfigured Mack felt
ashamed of himself and did not S..end
court-which he used to frequent regu-
larly-for three or four days. About
this time kind-hearted shoemaker in
vited the dog into his shop and gave the
ear dressing of shoemaker's wax.
Mack wagged his tail in gratitude and
went his way. The next morning he
went out for a promenade and had a
quarrel with another country dog. this
time getting his foot instead of his ear
into the other dogs mouth. The dis
pute ended, the sagacious animal hnped
away to the same shoemaker, and put
ting up his wounded paw, whined for a
dressing OF wax, which was furnished.
and Mack went out apparently content
ed. On his way home he met another
lame dog with sore foot, and immedi-
ately stopped MIN, introduced himself.
and, after few dogmatical gestures
and signs, induced his lame friend to
accompany him to the shoemaker's to
have his foot dressed. The shoemaker
fixed up the foot of Mack's friend, and
both dogs went away as thankful as dog
language could express it,

The Three Scars.
BY WALTER THoRNBURY.

This got on the day that Goring
Fought through York, like wild beast roar
ing
The roofs were black and the streets were
full,
The doors built up with packs of wool;
But our pixies made way through storm Of
shot
Barrel to barrel till locks grew hot;
Frere fell dead, and Lucas was gone,
But the drum still beat and the flag went on.
This caught from a swinging sabre,
All had from a long nights labor;
When Chester famed, and the streets were
red,
In splashing shower fell the molten lead;
The fire sprang up, and the old roof split,
The hre-baH burst in the middle of it;
With a clash and clang the troopers they ran,
For the siege was over ere well began.
This got from pistol butt,
nucky my heads not a haZe-nutl:
The horse they raced. and scudded. and swore; I;
There were Leicestershire gentlemen, seven
ty score;
Up came the ''Lobsters," covered with steel
Down we went with stagger and reel;
Smash ct the flag, tore il to rag,
And carried 1t of in my foraging bag,

Az the old s.red cent" has now passed
out of use, and, except rarely, out of
sight, like the s'old oaken bucket" its
history is q matter of sufficient interest
for preservation. The cent was first
proposed by Robert Morris, the great
tinaacier of the Revolution, and was
named Jefferson two years after. 1t be-
gan to make its appearance from the
mint in 1892. 1t bore the head of Wash
ington on one side and thirteen links on
the other. The French Revolution Soon
created a rage for French ideas in
America, which put on the cent instead
of the head of Washington the head of
the Goddess of Liberty-a French liber-
ty-with neck thrown forward and flow
ing locks. The chain on the reverse
side vas displaced by the olive wreath
of peace; but the French liberty was
short lived. and so was her portrait Oh

succeeded this-the staid, classic d.

--.out thirty or forty years ago,
and her inely-chiseled Grecian features
have been but slightly altered by the
lapse of time.

few years. Ihe chances are that the
education he receives in some other
kind of business will greatly benefit him
in his subsequent life of a farmer. OBJ
servation shows that large number of
persons who were raised on farms and
who engage in some pursuit in a city
drift back to farms again after they
have acquired competence. Many
boys leave farms on account of delicate
physical organizations which do not al
low them to labor out of doors. Many
others prefer to work in cities because
the opportunities for mental improve
ment are better and the payment for
work is at stated times.

Ancient history speaks of two broth
ers, one of whom, found guilty of a
heinous crime, was condemned to death,
and about to be led forth to execution;
the other, patriotic and brave, had sig-

country, and had lost hand in obtain
ing an ilustrious victory for the State.
just as the sentence of condemnation
was pronounced upon this unhappy
brother, he entered the court, and ST.
lenty raised his handles arm in view
of all. The Judges saw it, arrested the
execution and pardoned the guilty one
for the sake of the service and the suf-
ferings of his heroic brother. Sc may

our nature before the throne, silently
and efficiently plead for US by the very

Robert Burdette has retired from the
lecture field, and is looking for place
of residence. In an interview recently
he said: I'VE are hunting a place to
live. We are not hard to please. We
want mountains where there are no
frosts or frogs; seashore where there
is no east wind; fresh running water
without malaria; Summers without
thunder-storms, and Winters without
thaws. And when we find that place
we are going to camp down on it. And
it must be within twenty-five miles of
Philadelphia.
When foreign sovereign visits Eng

There is no doubt that the original
home of the horse is not Europe, but
Central Asia; for since the horse in it's
natural state depends upon grass for its
nourishment, and f1eetness for its weap-
on, it could not have thriven and multi
piled in the thick forest-grown territory
Of Europe. Much rather should its place
of propagation be sought in those step
pes where it still roams about in a wild
state. Here, too, arose the first nations
of riders of which we have historic
knowledge, the Mongolians and the
Turks, whose existence at this day is as
it were combined with that of the horse.
From these regions the horse spread in
all directions, especially into the steppes
of Southern and Southeastern Russia,
and into Thrace, until it finally found
entrance into the other parts of Europe,
but not until after the immigration of
the people. This assumption is, at least,
strongly favored by the fact that the
farther district of Europe is from
those Asiatic steppes, i. e., from the or
iginal home of the horse, the later does
the tanned horse seem to have made its
historical appearance in it. The sup
position is further confirmed by the fact
that horse raising among almost every
tribe appears as an art derived from
neighboring tribes in the east and north
east Even in Homer the OK appears
exclusively as the draught animal in
land operations at home and in the
field. while the horse was used for pur-
poses of war only. Its employment in
military operations was determined by
swiftness alone. That the value of the
horse must originally have depended
upon its feetness, can easily be inferred
from the name which is repeated in all
the branches of the Indo-European lam
guage, and signifies nearly fastening
quick" The same fact is exemplifed
by the descriptions of the oldest poets,
who, next to its courage, speak most of
its iftness.-Popular Science Month
