A Sand Storm.

A remarkable sand storm, accompan-
led by an intensely cold temperature, is
mentioned in Icslandic journals as hav-
ing ragged on that island for two weeks
during the past spring. The air was
filled with dry, fine sand to such .
degree that 1t was impossible to see
for more than short distance, and the
sun was rarely visible, though the sky
was clear of clouds. Nobody ventured
out Of his house except upon matters Of
the most urgent necessity. and many
who were exposed to the storm were
frozen. The sand penetratsd into the
houses through the minutest crevioes.
It was found mixed with articles Of food
and drink. and every breath drew Il into
the lungs. Thousands Of sheep and
horses died.

Henry Ward Beecher's Early Married
Life.

The Pail Mall Gd5ette, of London,
says: The wife of Mr.. Henry Ward
Beecher has recently been communi-
eating some interesting details Of her
early housekeeping experiences to an
inquisitive reporter. When she married
Mr.. Beecher was the minister OF q small
church out West, with a stipend of
seventy-five dollars per annum. AS the
congregation consisted OF twenty-four
women and one solitary man, who was
excommunicated, the only wonder is
that they were able to raise so much.
They began housekeeping in two small
rooms over store; and this is the way
in which they furnished them:
aT'My brother gave US piece of carpet,
and other members of the family gave
us cooking stove and two lamps. A
classmate OF Mr.. Beecher gave him
set Of knives and forks, and friend
gave set of crockery. When we got
home We asked permission to paint the
dirty floor. The proprietor denied our
request, because he was afraid "it
would rot the wood" Mr.. Beecher
threw off his coat, rolled up his sleeves,
and helped me to scrub the rooms with
soap, water and sand. 1t was some
days before the stains were got out We
were given table and q double bed,
and I made mattresses of cheap material
and filed them with husks. Then Mr..
Beecher wanted q book case. saw
dilspidated old wash stand lying in
the yard. 1t was very far gone, but
Mr.. Beeoher fastened it together. put
some shelves on it and it answered
nicely for bookcase. On q piece of
wire stretched across one corner Of the
room 1 hung curtain of fourpenny
calico and kept behind it my washtub,
-four barrel and cooking utensils. On
stick across the top Mr.. Beecher hung
his saddle. fastened some sticks to
the legs of the single bedstoad and
made it high fourposter. 1 hung q
canopy about ii, and on piece Of tape
inside we hung our clothes. When We
had company we took the canopy down."
They had hard struggle in making
both ends meet, but Mrs. Beecher
agrees with her husband in regarding
these early days as the happiest in their
life.

nerves are weak, brains unmagnetio.
and their mental efforts superRoial
compared with what they might be.
Those who live in q malarious climate
should not go out before breakfast nor
after sundown, neither should they
sleep on the ground floor. Fruit and
grains are the best food for malarioas
people; meats and greasy substances
ought to be avoided.
A sick person who is durable can't
die, provided he is put under righ con-
ditions, by and with his own consent
and keeps there. Thousands die be-
cause they are not brought under the
obstructed operations of the laws which
God has ordained for them to live by.
Providence would appear to be con-

have 80 long labored to reduce meat
eating within reasonable limits, and to
substitute milder and more healthfuI
diet-and il it produce such results the
present scarcity of cattle will be any
thing but crying evil, however loud
may be the complaints of those who
sell, and those, who, from the nature of
their business have to purchase meat
for their guests.
A physician writes from Peru TO make
known the result of his observation Of
malarial or intermittent fevers and
their cause. He believes more in SUP
face chilling as cause than in germs.
In places of high altitude, where there
was no chance, as he thinks, for ma
larial germs to thrive. he has seen typ
ical and extreme attacks of intermittent
fever from exposure during the cool Of
evening in the same clothing which was
worn in the tropical heat of the day.
To properly protect oneself by remain
ing indoors during the evening, or by
wearing an overcoat when going out,
was quite sufficient, in his experience,
to prevent or avoid 80 called malarial
troubles.-Dr. Foote'S Health Monthly.

Weighing the Earth.

One would scarcely think that the
world could be weighed in scales like
package of merchandise, but Her Won
jolly, of Munich, has done so. and finds
it is 5,792 times as heavy as q body of
water Of the same size, or about half as
heavy as if it was OF solid lead. He
placed his balance in the top of high
tower, and from each of the scales sus-
pended, by means of wire, second
scale at the foot of the tower. Two
bodies which would balance in the
upper scales were out of balance when
one was removed to the lower scale,
because the latter was nearer the center
of the earth. By comparing this differ
ence with the difference caused by
large ball OF lead in close proximity to
the lower scale, he obtained an equa-
tion which, with the known size OF the
earth, gave the density of the latter as
above stated.

The Language Of the Eyes.

Round-eyed persons see much, live
much in the senses, but think less.
Narrow eyed persons, on the other
hand, see less. but think more and feel
more intensely. It will be observed
that the eyes of children are open and
round. Their whole life is to receive
impressions. 1t is only when childhood
is maturing toward manhood or woman
hood that thought comes, il Il comes Il
all. But what Is it that most leads to
reflection? Experience. Our errors,
our shortcomings. our failures-these
teach us 10 think before we act, 70
consider each step. to weigh every mo-
tive. When. therefore, the upper eye
lid-for It Is that which has the greatest
amount OF mobility-droops over the
eye, 1t indicates not merely reflection.
but something painful TO reflect about.
Hence the length or dropping Of the
upper eyelid betokens confession and
penitence. - Phrenosq0ieal MagGzine.

we're also effsctually cured by daily
moderate use of blanched celery as .
salad at meal times. 1 have known
others cured by using celery for paipits-
tion of the heart. Everybody engaged
in labor weakening to the nerves should
use celery daily in its season and
onions in its stead when not in season.

about eight months after the quarrel,

has been questioned in regard to the
matter, and he says that be Is never
prompted to speak to his father, that he
has never had an impulse to speak, and
that it seems to him that there has never
been any occasion for him to speak to
his father that he bears his father no

SnbIugating Vicious Horses.

of an English horse trainer who has
been giving proofs of his skill in the
presence of the Austrian emperor. The
most unmanageabie stallion in the
royal stable was brought out and turned
over to him. He speedily had the ami
NAL under control, and, having opened
its mouth, found small abscess in the
jaw that was caused by the sharp and
jagged edge OF q tooth. This he re-
ieved at once by o little filing, to
which the animal submitted patiently.
Then he removed the bit and halter.
leaving the animal entirely free. and
lying down upon the ground, placed
one of the stallion's hind feet ON his
breast to show how completely tanned
he was. His exhibitions of skill we're
altogether highly satisfactory to tho
emperor. who gave him some valuable
presents and commissioned him TO in
spect the other horses in the imperial
stud.
