How the Human Organism Protect,

How the Human Organism Protects Itself.
The organism of the human body is q
'elf-regulating apparatus. Every inter-
cuption of its normal functions eXcites Il
reaction against the disturbing cause.
If grain of caustic potash irritates the
nerves of the palate, the salivary glands
Try toremoveit by an increased secretion
The eye would wash it off by an i'm
mediate flow Of tears. A larger guam
tity of the same substance could be swal-
lowed only under the protest of the
fauces, and the digestive organs would
soon find means to eject it. The bron-'
chial tubes promptly react against the OBJ
trusion of foreign substances. The sting
Of an insect causes an involuntary
twitching Of the epidermis. If a thorn
or splinter fastens itself under the skin,
suppuration prepares the way for it's re-
moval. If the stomach be overloaded
with food, it revolts against further in
gestion.
These automatic agencies of the organ
ism generally suffice to counteract the
disturbing cause, and the sensory symp-
toms attending the process Of recon
struction constitute merely a plea for
non-interference. The suppurating It's
sues push the thorn outward, and resent
only a pressure in the opposite direction.
The eye volunteers to rid itself of the
sand-dust, but demonstrates against
friction. The rum-soaked system of the
topper undertakes to eliminate the poison,
and only asks that the consequences of
the outrage be not aggravated by its re-
petition. But, if that plea remains I'M
needed, it finally takes the form of the
emphatic protest we call disease. For,
even in it's urgent manifestations, the re-
action against q violation of Natures
health-law is cry for peace, rather
than petition for active assistance in
the form of medication. ''Accustom
yourself in all your little pains and
aches," says DR.. Jennings, ''and also in
your grave and more distressing affec-
tons, to regard the movement concern
ed in them in friendly aspect-design-
ed for the tending to the removal Of a
difficulty of. whose existence you were
before unaware, and which, if suffered
to remain and accumulate, might prove
the destruction of the house you live in
and that, instead of its needing to be
cured, it is itself a curative operation;
and that what should be called disease

Making the Songs Of a Nation.

s'Where DO you get your ideas when
you want to write new songP' asked
the reporter.
''That's simple enongh," returned
the poet, taking what he called a ''swig
at the ale." tsThere are enough ideas
in the songs already written to make it
unnecessary to think about new ones.
Every song is patchwork of other
songs. Now take that well-known song,
The Danube River Here is the first
verse. I think I've got it right:
DO you recall that night in June upon the
Danube River,
We listened to Lander tune and watched the
moonbeams CULVER
I oft since then have watched the moon, but
never, love, oh, never,
Can forget that night in June upon the Dan
ube River.
"Wel," the man of verses continued,
II read that through very carefully.
My first thought is to localize it. Then
pu t in the name of fair one. Next,
/ have it set to slightly different music
and in few weeks Thomas Lenten's
latest sentimental success is going over
the land. 1t becomes perfect rage
and every one sings:
'.My sweetest Jane, think of you when on the
Schuyllxill River;
idly float and steer my boat and watch the
moonbeams CULVER.
We once were there, you, Jane, and I, upon
30 when alone l dream of you upon the
Schuylkill River.

He Got Thar.

Going down the great Jackson route
from Grenada, Miss, a regular old
homespun native of the State entered a
sleeping-car and paid for berth. He
had never been inside of car of the
kind, and everything astonished him.
When the porter came to make up the
beds saw that the native was greatly
perplexed, but as he made no direct APP
peal it wasn't my duty to post him. He
was the first one to make preparations
for bed. He glanced anxiously around,
pulled off one boot, and then took a
rest for five minutes. When the other
boot came off he had solved the prob
lem. Pushing his boots under the berth
he started for the rear platform, and
nothing was heard from him for about
ten minutes. Then he put his head into
the door and called out:
"All you 'uns in thar, look out, for
Pm coming!'
And come he did. He had disrobed
while standing on the platform, made a
bundle of coat, vest and pants, and as
he shot into bed after run up the aisle
he g,rgled out:
''Old Mississip may be little slow,
but she allus gifts thar just the same?'

A Man Who Never Had Teeth.

A man who never in his life had
tooth in his jaws was at one time Arrest
dent of Montana. This fact was brought
to the recollection of an old resident of
this city by seeing statementin an East
ern paper that one of the most wonder
full natural curiosities of the age is a
1O-year-old Georgia boy who never had
any teeth and shows no signs that he
ever will have any. The man referred
to above was 60 years old and had never
had teeth. His name was Joseph Bear
claw. He was resident of Alder
Gulch in 1864 and 1865. Although ma
ture failed to supply Mr.. Bearclaw with
teeth she tried to make amends by fur
nishing him with long, strong finger
nails and toe-nails. which were almost
DIS hard as bone and fully an eighth of
an inch thick. It is not known whether
he got the name of Bearclaw from the
circumstance or if that was properly
his name. He was from Illinois, to
which State he returned in 1865 or 1866.

The Elephant did Not See the Joke.

The Rev. Mr.. Watson gives curious
story in illustration of this animals
wonderful long memory of a wrong SUI
fered. One of those pests OF society, "a
practical JOKER visited a caravan in a
west of England fair and tried his stupid
tricks upon an elephant there. He first
doled out to it, one by one, some gin
gerbread nuts, and when the grateful
animal was thrown off it's guard he sud-
denly profered it a large parcel wrap
ped in paper. The unsuspicious creature
accepted and swallowed the lump, but
Immediately began to exhibit signs OF
intense suffering, and snatching up a
bucket handed it to the keeper for water.
This being given to it, it eagerly swal-
lowed quantities of the fluid. "Ha!"
cried the delighted joker, "Iguess those
nuts were tritle too hot, old fellow.;'
"You had better be off, exclaimed tho
keeper, "unless you wish the bucket at
your head" The fool took the hint
only Just in time, for the enraged ami
NAL, having finished the sixth bucketful,
hurled the bucket after it's tormentor
with such force that had he fingered

yet concluded. The following year the
show revisited the same town, and the
foolish joker, like men of his genus, I'M
able to profit by experience, thought to
repeat his stupid trick on the elephant.
He took two lots of nuts into the show
with him sweet nuts in one pocket and
hot in the other. The elephant had not
forgotten the jest played upon hin, and
tiously. At last the joker proffered a
hot one; but no sooner had the creature
discovered its pungency than it seized
hold of it's prosecutor by the coat-tails,
hoisted him up by them, and held him
until they gave way, when he fell to the
ground. The elephant now inspected
the severed coat-tails, which, after he
had discovered and eaten all the sweet
nuts, he tore to rags and flung after
their discounted owner.-C Chambers

Something Odd About Sponges.

When first pnlled from the rocks
where it grows the sponge looks like a
corrugated mass of putty. 1t is dreb in
color, exceedingly heavy, has sicken-
ing odor, and is suffused by q stringy
mucus which drops from it in long Wis
cous lines. The external pores are part
ly closed up by a sort OF sea bug, which
finds refuge in them, and must be an
annoying interloper to the sponge build
er; while often u red sea worm an inch
in length is found far within the spongy
tbers, whittier he has worked his way.
What is the exact function of the mucous
fluid does not yet appear to be clearly
settled. But it is certain that when
taken from the sponge and placed on
still bottoms, new sponges are propa-
gated from it; and if two pieces of the
same living sponge, or of different spor-
ges Of the same species, are laid side by
side on the sea bottom, they soon grow
together. The vitality Of the sponge, in
fact, coupled with the decrease of the
supply, suggests that ere many years
artificial propagation may have to BE-
used

A Four Thousand Acre Farm.

The Belle Mead farm, six miles from
Nashville, owned by W. G. Harding is,
it is claimed, the finest and best kept
farm in the United States. There is
nothing fancy about it. The system of
General Harding is that of all other COM
nonsense farmers, but there is not an
acre of the 1000 that is not thoroughly
utilized. 1t has sixteen miles of stone
fencing, and there is deer park of 424
acres. OF course it is stock farm
The owner does not believe in selling
his grain. What he raises he feeds out
to his well-cared for and high-priced
cattle. His horses bring the highest
prices, and his bulls and COWS are in dc.
mand for improving neighboring breeds.
Mere grain raising is, in the long run,
wasteful. 1t robs the soil of it's fertility
and the best results are obtained when
the farm becomes a species of manufac-
tory for producing animals and dairy
products. -Dc1norcsr Monthhy.

oout Letter-Writing.

AS a rule, every letter, unless insult
ing in its character, requires an answer
To neglect to answer letter, when
written to, is as uncivil as to neglect to
reply when spoken to.
In the reply, first acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the letter, mentioning its date,
and afterwards consider all the points
requiring attention.
If the letter is to be very brief, COM
mence sufficiently far from the top of
the page to give nearly an equal amount
of blank paper at the bottom of the sheet
when the letter is ended.
Should the matter in the letter con-
tinue beyond the first page, it is well to
commence a letter above the middle of
the sheet, extending as far as necessary
on the other page.
1t is thought impolite to use half
sheet of paper in formal letters. AS a
matter of economy and convenience for
business purposes, however, it is Gus
tomary to have the card of the business
man printed at the top of the sheet, and
a single leaf is used
In writing a letter, the answer to
which is of more benefit to yourself
than the person to whom you write, in
close stamp for the reply.
Letters should be as free from era
sures, interlineations, blots and post
scripts as possible. 1t is decidedly bet
ter to copy the letters than to have these
appear.
A letter of introduction or recon-
mcndation should never be sealed, as
the bearer to whom it is given ought to
know the contents

SunS1C UUX,

OOAs
The effort that gave S. S. Cox his SOU
briquet is as follows:
What peculiar sunset was that of last
night! How glorious the storm and
how splendid the setting of the sun! We
do not remember ever to have seen the
like on our round globe. The scene
opened in the west with whole horizon
full Of golden interpenetrating luster
which colored the foliage and brig htened
every object into it's own dyes. The
color grew deeper and richer, until the
golden luster was transfused into 4
storm-cloud. full of finest lightning,
which leaped in dazzling zigzags all
over and around the city. The wind
arose with fury, the slender shrubs and
giant trees made obeisance to its majes-
ty. Some even snapped before it's force.
The strawberry beds and grass plats
''turned up their whites to see Zeph-
yrus march by. As the rain came and
the pools, and the cutters hurried away,
thunder roared grandly and the fire
bells caught the excitement and rang
with hearty chorus. The south and east
received the copious showers, and the
west all at once frightened up in long,
polished belt OF azure, worthy of a Sicil-
ian sky.
Presently q cloud appeared in the
azure belt in the form of a castellated
city. 1t became more vivid, revealing
strange forms of peerless fanes and ala
baster temples and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. 1t re-
minded us of Wadsworth's splendid
verse in his ''Excursion'':
The appearance instantaneousy disclosed
Was OF mighty city, boldly say
A wilderness OF buildings sinking far
And self withdrawn into a wondrous depth,
Far sinking into splendor without end,
But the city vanished only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared, i'm
aging paradise in the distant and
purified air.
The sun, wearied of the elemental
commotion sank behind the green plains
of the west The 'greateye in heaven"
however, went not down without dark
brow hanging over its departing light.
The rich flush of unearthly liz ht had
passed and the rain had ceased, when
the solemn church bells pealed, the
laughter of children rang out Joyous,
after the storm is heard, with the carol
of birds, while the dark and purple
weapon of the skies still darted illumina-
ton around the startling college, trying
to rival its angles and leap into its dark
windows.
