A Victim of Practical Joke.
London Truth.

Another victim to the reprehensible
practice of practical joking has paid
for his credulity with his life.
The other day as the French
bark Felix was approaching the port of
Marseilles under easy sail "a negro belonging
to the crew suddenly clambered upon the
bulwarSs and plunged into the sea: AL
though the vessel was promptly hove to,
and boat put out in search of the unfortu-
nate man, who was known to be powerful
swimmer, all efforts made to rescue him
froma watery grave proved fruitless. Inquiry
among the crew respecting the probable
suicide resulted in the following painful
revelation. He had shipped in the
Felix at Mozambique, as an able
seaman, and his shipmates, learning
from his own mouth that he had never before
made voyage to France, agreed to persuade
him that human flesh, of the negro variety,
is so highly relished as a dietetic luxury
by wealthy Erenchmen of the present day
that he could not fail, upon arriving at Mar
settles, to be roasted and eaten. Their plot
proved only too successful. The conviction
that he was destined to figure as a comes
tible at some fashionable Marseilles restau-
rant undermined his spirit and preyed upon
his mind to such an extent that he at last
resolved to die by his own act rather than
encounter the dismal fate awaiting him in
port This determination, it appears, he
made known TO the au thors of the hoax, but
these inveterate humorists nevertheless
kept up their Jest until the Felix sighted
Marseiles, when the wretched negro, be-
lieving himself irrevOcably doomed TO suffer
death by the butchers knife within few
hours, drowned himself in the manner
above related 1t is satisfactory to know
that his tormentors are in Prison and likely
to pay dearly for their barbarous joke.

When Burns so deity wove these lines
into his address to mouse, he was only re-
peatIng the old story of the condensed ex-
perience of the race. Disappointment will
come, and are hard to be borne in any
shape. but when sickness is the cause the
inconvenience entailed is a source of special
annoyance. These thoughts were induced
by hearing of the postponement of DR.. III. s
trip to Florida, this winter, on account of a
severe attack of sciatica. We felt sorry for
the Doctor, for We knew that his heart had
been long set on winter trip and sOjourn
in that sunny Southern land, and to have
all his anticipations of pleasure thus cruelty
"nipped in the bud it was indeed blow.
However, we know what will cure the Doc
tor, and venture to suggest it through the
professional opinion and Endorsement of
physician widely known and eminently
successful DR.. Lorenzo Waite, of Pitts6eld,
Mass, who writes: This certifies that dur
severe case of sciatica, that had been for a
long time under the care of two eminent
physicians, and who were unable to afford
any relief After continued use of the
varioss remedies that had previously, dur
ing many years of practice, never failed in
similar cases tc accomplish the desired re-
suit, | was on the point of abandoning the
case as incurable. AT this time, although
having but little faith in any benefit that
might result, L was induced I'd try St Jacobs
Oil. After using one bottle according to
directions, l found my patient much i'm
proved and the use OF the second bottle
effected complete cure"

that no less than 1000 900 tons of dust must

Professor BOnney calculates from actual eX-
animation that it would take from 4. 900 to
5000 particles of this same dust to make

The temperature land consistency of lava
streams vary greatly, and the variations give
rise to differences in the appearance of the

dull-red at night and black by day-like a
great mass of rough cinders-while all is of
a white heat beneath, and may be so seen at

masses. Some streams are very liquid, re-
sembling rivers, and filling every channel in
their course; while others, cooler and sitter,
might be more fifty compared to glaciers
creeping along so slowly that the fact of
their movement can be established only by

lavas leave a crust wrinkled and folded like
coils of rope. and are then frequently called
'ropy lavas.' The very liquid, fast-hOwing
lavas leave surface covered with rough,
ciudery masses presenting jagged projec-
l tons.

His remains will be taken TO Anaerson's Ferry,

Christmas on Sunday.

There was in old England a weather
prophet, some of whose representations are
among the Harleian manuscripts in the
British Museum. His prophecies wer os
greater scope than those of Vennor and
Devoe, both in the periods they covered and
the subjects they treated; but it may be a
source of pain to our prophets to learn that
his name has not endured with his works.
Here is his conjecture about year like the
next twelve-month, in the beginning of
which Christmas falls upon Sunday:

have for many years been interested in
trying TO introduce scientific teaching into
suit of some experiences in teaching as
tronomy.
Ofcourse, the astronomy taught has been
of the most elementary character. But it is
therefore the exactly foundation which it is
important to lay well Ny object
has been to gain for my pupils
from this study, not merely knowledge,
but all the mental discipline it could
afford. In order to accomplish this l have
made it an invariable principle to make
them do all the observing, all the thinking
possible They have watched the heavenly
bodies to discover their appearance and mo-
tons, and then led them on 10 discuss the
causes 1t has been genuine inductive study,
so far as it has gone. Ny own work seemed
very simple, but it occasioned me a great
deal of observation, thought and study. l
have simply kept them on the track.
1t may at first seem little absurd TO talk
of a set of schoolgirls treading, with any
degree of mental independence, the path
, which Kepler and Tycho Brahe found it SO
difficult to walk in. OF course, 1t would be
utter nonsense to say that they could eXer-
else anything like the mental activity OF
those great men. But there are various de
grees of the minds activity, and it is posi-
BILE to arouse, even in schoolgirls, very
wholesome and improving amount of it.
When | first began / merely intended to
make some girls of seventeen years old, who
were soon to study LOckyer's Astronomy, y
do some preparatory observing. | soon saw
that it would have been desirable to begin
earlier, aud in the room in which talked
to these young ladies there were
seated at desks some young girls OF
thirteen and fourteen years old, who listened
to my talk and directions with great interest
and as L soon found, were observing and
thinking with as much energy as their older
companions. 1t became out of the question
TO refuse instruction to those who showed
themselves so capable of learning. All the
work of which | am about to tell was
well performed by girls of fourteen years
