Burns.

Extensive burns are apt to be fatal,
even when death does not follow from
the shock caused by the accident. Why
they are fatal has been cause of sur
prise in cases where no internal organ
has been harmed. Recent examinations
of persons who have died from this
cause have shown that the blood was
thick and viscid Much Of the blood
water OiqHor SdUgaiRi) had been
drained from the blood, rendering it
unfit for its functional purposes The
loss was undoubtedly due to rapid eXu-
daton from the inl,umcd surfaces.
TO what an extent emulation takes
place has been shown by the large
drops of fluid that have been pressed
from the burned skin OF a rabbit. When
the animal was placed in Il hot room,
the fur over the burn Il part remained
moist. although it quickly dried when
mostened on other parts OF the body.
In cholera there Is somewhat SINH
lar loss, but there are also great thirst
and Shrinkagc of the muscles. which is
not the case in burns. 1t is, however,

this changes the density oi The latter,

known law, tend TO draw Il supply to
meet the lack from Tie muscular tissues,
causing their great shrinkagc.

An Irish IIigliwayman.

Brennan, the famous Irish highway
man, was u little Bonaparte in his way.
He once robbed three officers in post
chaisc, and left them telling them he
would report them to the Duke of York
as unworthy to serve the King, for al
lowing themselves to be robbed by q
single man. He wore a leather grdle
round his middle, stuck with pistols.
There was an attempt made by two po-
lice officers in the town of Tipperary to
arrest him, early in the morning, in
bed; but he jumped through the win
dow and his wife threw pair of pis-
tolls out to him. They pursued him to
by-feld, where they came upon him in
his shirt; but he kept one OF them at
bay with one pistol while with the other
he stood over the second policeman
till he made him strip off his clothes,
which he put on himself, thus making
him return to town rs he (Brennan) had
left it, namcly-in his shirt.
1t is to Brennan belongs the story
incorrectly credited to Cartouche. Brcn-
nan, in company with to other "gen-
tlcman," robbed mail coach and took
good quantity of booty-making the
passengers lie down in the muddy road
and rilling them at leisure.
"This money will be but very little
among three" whispered Brennan to
his neighbor, as the three conquerors
were making merry over their gains;
"if you were to pull the trigger of your
pistol in the neighborhood of your COM
rade's ear, perhaps it might go off, and
then there would be but two of us to
share"
Strangely enough, rs Brennan said,
the pistol did go off and No. 3 per-
ished.
"Give him another ball." said Brcn-
nan, and another was fired into him.
But no sooner had his comrade dis
charged both his pistols than Brennan,
himself, seized with q furious indisna-
ton, drew his.

So so greedy of gold, and perish, the
victim of thy disloyalty and avarice! J,

Rats on Ships.

Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them conveyed to every part OF the
world. SO industrionSly do they make
homes for themselves in the numerous
crannes and corners in the hull Of
ship, that it is impossible to get rid OF
them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo, every VOYAGE
whether the former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When the East India Company bad
ships OF their own they employed n rat
catcher, who sometimes captured 3UO
rats in one ship just returned from CAL
cutta. The ship rat is often the black
species. Sometimes black and brown
inhabt the same vessel, and unless they
carry on perpetual hostililies, one party
will keep in the head of the vessel and
the other to the stern. The ship rat is
very anxious that his supply OF fresh
water shall not fail; he will come on
deck when it rains, and climb up to the
wet sails TO suck them. Sometimes he
mistakes spirit cask for water cask,
and he gets drunk. A captain on an
American ship is credited (or discred-
ited) with an ingenious bit of sharp
practice as q means of clearing his ship
from rats. Having discharged cargo
at a port in Holland, he found his ship
in iuytaposition to another which had
lust taken in cargo of Dutch cheese;
lie laid plank at night from one vessel
to the other; the rats, tempted by ihe
odor, trooped along the plank ana 3e
can the feast. lie took care that INT
Blank should not be there to serve then
as pathway back again, and so th'
cheese laden ship had a cruel auu.tloi
to its outward cargo. IN. l hc'e"'W

The Kentucky Evangelist.

Rev. Il. o. Barnes, the Kentucky
evangelist, who has had such remarka-
bic success of late, is not illiterate or
backwoodsman, as his methods might
lead one to suppose. If he uses the dia-
lect of the Kentucky mountaineers. or
the homely phrases of the negroes, it is
from choice. Although born in Ken
lucky, he is a graduate of Princeton
College, and served fifteen years as
missionary in India, after which he had
pastorate in Chicago. All this time
he was Presbyterian, but on taking up
the work us revivalist, six years ago,
he withdrew from that denomination.
His power over the people of the Ken
lucky mountain region proved phenom.
email, and they firmly believe in him AS
worker of miracles. He Pounds his
authority for amounting the sick and pen
itcnt on this verse from the Epistle of
ST. James 'Is any sick among youp
Let him call for the elders of the church;
and let them pray over him, amounting
him with oil in the name Of the Lord !;
and the prayer of faith shall save the
sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;
and if he have committed sins they shall
be forgiven him."

Killed the Wrong Hens.

An irnscibc sca-Captain settled down
to Portland life by the side of we'll
tempered man. and the two got along
very well until the hen question came
up. Said the Captain:
81 like YOU as II ncighbor, but don
like your hens, and if they trouble =
any more I'll shoot them"
The mild-mannercd ncighbor studA
over the matter some, but knowing the
Captains reputation well by report, he
replied;
"Well, if we can't get along any
other way, shoot the hens, but I'll take
it as favor if you will throw them
when dead over into our yard ana yell
to my wife.
IAN right" said the Captain.
The next day the Captains gun was
heard, and a dead hen fell in the quiet
mans yard, The next day another hon
was thrown over, the next two, ant the
next after three.
"Say," said the quies man,
"coudn't you scatter them along lit
tie? We really can't dispose of the
number you are killing" -.
Give 'em to your poor relations"
replied the Captain, gruily.
And the quiet man did. He kept his
neighbors well supplied with chickens
for some weeks.
One day the Captain said to the quiet
man:
IL have half dozen nice hens In
going to give you if you'll keep quie,
about this affair"
How is that" said the quiet man
"Are you sorry because you killed my

facts:
Mr. Marsior, IN English physician

instance of any other disease thus COM

given hv DR. Lees, whose experience
wa. equally extensive.

reason to believe, or even 20 suspect,
that in any case Il Sra,y had been COM

DR.. Martin, of Boston, OF forty years
professional experience, says: Il huyt
never had patient die in any way tina
could be directly orindirectly attributed
to vaccination. | have never had TIN
slightest reason TO suspect, in n Singl,

A scANpAn nrevails at Loyeland, Ohio,

A SCANDAL prevails at Loveland, Ohio,
concerning the boy evangelist Harrison.
The Camp.meeting Association erected
n cottage at cost of $175, furnished il
in elegant style, and set it aside for
Harrison's exclusive occupancy, or use.
When the camp-meeting closed, the
other day, Mr.. Harrison offered TO dis
pose of the cottage, furniture and
grounds, all in a lump, for 5000. He
was notified by several members of the
Association that it was not his to dis
pose of, but on his vacating it, reverted
to the Association. Mr.. Harrison was
non-plussed, and went away dissatisfied,
aud now there is considerable talk and
scandal about tho matter. The ladies
all think Mr.. Harrison ought to have
the cottage, but not 30 with the hard
hearted men.
