Gentlemen--At your request have obtained in

POROUS PLASTERS and Alcocks Porous Plas-
tiers, and have submitted them 20 chemical analysis
to determine their comparative merits as external

/ find in BENSON's CAPCINE PLASTERS val

are superior to those of Alcocks.

Afraid of a Letter.

1t was not long ago that l happened to
be in part of Central Africa where no
white man had been before. / was separ-
ated from my companions-a hundred
miles distant War was raging around me;
the road was difficult. I wished to COM
municate with the friends whom l had left
behind
"Who will return" [ asked of the naked
savages, 'to the white men and carry them
something from me?"
Numbers volunteered, glad to earn
yard of cloth for the job. A letter was
written and offered to man, and he was
told that the piece of paper would inform
my friends of all-that it would speak to
them. He dropped the letter on the ground
and ran away. Others were tried, but it was
useless. A great crowd assembled, and at
a safe distance from the little bit Of paper.
'It is medicine they cried in terror.
at is charmed"
In vain I tried to reason them out of
their fear. None would touch it.
"Will no one," said, "keep it and give
it to the white men as they pass this way ?"
A yell of refusal and excited gesticu-
lations answered my request.
"Then 1 shall place it here in this tree"
I said, moving toward it, while the crowd
dispersed in alright, "and you can point it
out to the white men when they come"
Even this they refused to do. My
friends passed close under the tree, but no
one dared show them the charmed thing,
and there it is probably to this day, Aut-
tering on the branch of that stunted fig
tree, like an evil spirit, the awe and terror
of the whole tribe.-Stanley.

Habits of the Arab.

An Arab on entering house removes
his shoes but not his hat He mounts his
horse on the right side, while his wife milks
the cow on the left side. In writing a
letter he puts nearly all his compliments on
the outside. With him the point of pin
is its head, while its head is made its heel.
His head must be wrapped up warm even
in summer, while his feet may we'll enough
90 naked in winter. Every article of mer-
chandise which is liquor he weighs, and he
measures wheat, barley and a few other
articles. He reads and writes from right
to left. He eats scarcely anything for
breakfast, about as much for dinner, but
after the work of the day is done he sits
down to full meal swimming in oil, or,
better vet, boiled butter. His sons eat with
him, but the females of his house wait till
his lordship is done. He rides donkey
when travelling, his wife walks behind.
He laughs at the idea of walking in the
street with his wife and of ever vacating
his seat for woman He knows no use
for chairs, tables, knives, forks or even
spoons, unless they are wooden or bone.
Bedsteads, bureaus and fr.places may be
placed in the same category. If he be an
artisan he does his work sitting, perhaps
using his feet to hold what his hands are
engaged upon. He drinks cold water with
a spoon but never bathes in it unless his
home be on the seashore. He is rarely
seen drunk, is deficient in affection for his
kindred, has little curiosity and no anima-
ton, no wish to improve his mind, no de-
sire to surround himself with the comforts
of life.-H0ane Journal.

The Hands.

Hands are divided into three different
kinds: Those with round-pointed fingers,
those with square tips, and those that are
spade-shaped, with pods of flesh at each
side of the nail. The first type, with
round-pointed fingers, belongs to eharac-
tiers with perceptions extra sensitive, to
very pious people, to contemplative minds,
to the impulsive, and to all poets and art
lists who have ideality as prominent trait
The second type, those that are square
shaped, belongs to scientific people, to sem
sible, self-contained characters, and to the
class of professional men who are neither
visionary nor altogether sordid. The third
type, those that are pear-shaped, with pods
of flesh at the side of the nail, indicates
people whose interests and instincts are
mostly material, people who have genius
for business and who have high appreci-
alton of everything that pertains to bodily
age and comfort Each finger, no matter
what kind of hand it is, has a joint rep
resenting each of these types. The divi-
sion of the finger that is nearest the palm
stands for the body, the middle division
represents mind, and the highest joint
spirit or soul. IF the top joint is longer
than the others it denotes character with
too much Imagination, great ideality, and
of leaning toward the theoretical rather
than the practical When the middle
joint of the finger is long, it promises a
logical, calculating mind-a very common
sense kind of person-and when the
lowest joint is longest, it indicates ma
ture that clings more to the luxuries than
to the refnements of life, mind that
looks for the utility before beauty. II
they are nearly alike, and especially if the
length Of the fingers equals the length Of
the palm, it indicates well-balanced mind

Brooks? This decided him.
'This is great disappointment to me, as
YOU of course must know, Dora" he said at
last turning to his companions, who were
awaiting his words in almost breathless sus-
pense. However, the deed is done, and L
suppose the most sensible thing is to make
the best of what 1 must consider rather
bad job. | promised you my blessing,
Wynn, and you shall have it, upon two
conditions. The first is, that you-and l

keeper replied eagerly. "And the second
condition p
"That you never, either of you, disclose
to any human being who was the promoter
and instigator of your elopement."
II promise, papa" said Dora.
"And so do [, sir, said the young hus-
band Immediately afterwards.

Life in q Norman Castle.

1t was best hard and comfortless. In
summer it was enlivened by hunting and
hawking, by tournaments and pageantry.
The gardens which usually surrounded a
castle formed resource for the female
portion of the inhabitants, who are often
represented in the illuminations of the time
as occupied in tending the flowers or max
ing garlands. But in winter there were
few comforts to lessen the suffering, and few
resorces to vary the monotony of life. The
passages in the romances which hail the
returning of spring are full of thankfulness
and delight. Chess, dice, and cards, as
we'll as many frolicsome games, served,
with the aid of the minstrels, to afford
amusement. The women had their occu-
pations of spinning, sewing, and embroidery.
Life was lacking in physical comforts, and
still more in refinement. The dining-hall
became at night the sleeping place OF a
uromiscuous crowd of retainers, There
was a very imperfect separation of the sexes
at any time. Men and women ate with
their fingers, and threw the refuse of theiF
meal on the table, or amidst the straw on
the floor, to be devoured by the cats ana
dogs which swarmed about.-bGyor6

In letter to his friends at home, an
intelligent foreigner states that "when
great man dies in the United States, the
first thing done is to procure fine statue
in his honor, next, to raise part of the ne
cessary money next, to forget to order any
statue, and last, to wonder what became OF
the money" The remark shows close
observation and clear judgement

Quite elaborate experiments have been
carried out in England for the purpose OF
determining, of the two, which is the
richer, nights or mornings milk, and the
decision is decidedly in favor of the milk
taken from the COW in the morning being
richer, not only in butter making qualities,
but also for cheese making. The milk OF
COWS fed ground feed in winter was richer
than that produced by the same cows from
grass in summer.

when he left the settlement few
days ago party of 100 men were
camped on the south bank OF the Cim-
marop river, where they arrived last
Saturday. The party had much hard
work to ford the stream, which was
greatly swollen by recent rains. Re-
ligious services We're held on Sunday
morning, and shortly after the close OF
services lieutenant named Taylor,
commanding some negro cavAlrymen
and Indian scouts, rushed down
upon the party and seized their
guns and tore the American flag
fir, nj the tent. No resistance was made
by the party, but there was afterwards
talk of having tile lieutenant arrested.
The settlers were quietly holding pos
session, and seemed determined to use
all possible means to hold homes ON
the public lands. Reinforcements
were daily joining the settlers, aud
Captain Payne was at Arkansas City
awaiting the result of his injunction
suit. Colonel Edwards, of Chicago
was arrested by Lieutenant Taylor for
making a speech condemning the
seizure OF the guns and the removal OF
the flag from the tent, and he is yet in
Jail. Amid ali this confusion a Rev.
Mr.. Small was holding a religious re-

WABASH, THE RACING CALF.
How He Astounded and Beat Trotting
Horse with n Record.
Philadelphia Times. ]

philadelphia Times.
Wabash, the two-year-old calico calf
that is credited with mile racing rec
ord of 900, was brought to Philadel-
pha ON Monday by'his owner, Colonel
Charles j. Burns of Evansville, Ind.
Wabash has won seven races off the
reel this summer, and was only beaten
once. On that occasion he fell down.
AT Bedford park, on Wednesday last.
he easily beat j. c. Mason's blk. &,
The Major, a mile in $50. After the
race Colonel Burns declined to accept
an offer OF 81 800 for his et-footed boz
vine. The calf is nearly thirteen and
half hands high, his legs are like
those of n giraffe and his horns are
tipped with nickel plated knobs. Col
onel Burns bought the calf when a
yearling from an Indiana farmer, who
was driving the split-hoof TO Il sulkey
and beating all ordinary r0adste' swith
ease. The calf is of plebian blood and
was bred, raised and trained by the
farmer. Colonel Burns intends eNhib-
ting the speedy beast on all the trot-
ting tracks OF thecountry. Hitched to
light wagon Wabash trotted to Bel
mont park yesterday afternoon, and
was sent around the track several
times at three-minute gait. The
Calls wind and limbs are perfectly
sound, and his owner says he has
driven him forty miles h day without
making him turn hair. Although
Wabash trots fast aud steady in har-
ness, he is much speedier when run
ming under saddle. To show the calf's
speed he was saddied'and mounted by
a lis pound jockey yesterday, and Mr..
Horizons b. IN. Clornda, with record
of 2:2I. was started against him. Clo-
rinda went away in the lead when
the word "gop was given, but Reilly,
the Jockey on the calf. quickly clapped
spurs into his sides, and with below
that was heard n mile oil Wabash
hoisted his tail like n jackstaff and set
sail after the trotter. The crowd of
horsemen spresent at once saw tina!
Wabash had q mixed but fast gait that
is peculiar to himself When ON the
back stretch his legs seemed TO spran-
gle out on sall sides at
once, and he bowed his
back like u bucking broncho and blew
cloud of steam out of his nostrils.
Colonel Burns proudly waved his
hand toward him, and said TO the
crowd OH the quarter stretch: Now,

you all watch that critter
hump HIMSELF If "hump-
ing'' meant believing until
the astounded Clorinda bolted across
the track and stood trembling against
the outside rails, Wabash certainly did
what the colonel expected. Wabash
came along like locomotive, passed
the bewildered mare aud was Looping
into the home stretch before timorous
Clorinda's driver could induce her to
trot, Wabash won by an eighth of a
mile and was cheered by every specta-
tor except Mr.. Horton. who rythmi-
cally saidsto the driver: We'll, don't
it beat - The calf will race at
Point Breeze or Suffolk park on Sat
