Mr.. Barnes TAPPED Lung.

A. H. Barnes, of this place, fights off
consumption by wearing silver tube,
which passes between the ribs into the
lungs. In lSi9 Mr. Barnes, then living
in Sycamore, Dekalb county, H., was
declared an incurable consumptive.
The lung was tapped and he recovered.
In 1868 he was again taken down by the
disease, when he once more resorted to
the tube and has worn it ever since.
There is a daily discharge of matter.
Mr.. Barnes is a man of very regular and
temperate habits, does not use tobacco
in any form nor stimulants of any kind;
hardly ever uses medicine excepting
sometimes little iron for the blood: is
always feeling well when the hole in his
5 d IS open, sometimes feeling heavi-
ness there, but has got used to that
The case IS certainly worthy of the
special attention OF medical men 1t
seems to give man new lease of life,
even when apparently as good as dead.
When Mr.. Barnes conceived the idea of
tapping his lang, all the physicians but
one secuted it as a thing that would
prove fatal. However, he persuaded a
DIR. Woodman to perform the operation.
In 1863 Mr.. Barnes was in Honey Lake
valley, aud was on the brink of the grave.
Now, again. the resident physicians
were opposed to the idea os an incision,
and, after repeated appeals for an oper-
alton, which were refused. Mr. Barnes
borrowed a lance and cut open his side
himself He then inserted a catheter,
and, drawing off nearly quart Of mat
ter. immediate relief was found The
cough and expectoration stopped almost
instantly, and Mr. Barnes was soon on
his feet again. Thus he has prolonged
his life over thirty years. Reno (Neu.)

The Blind erm.

/ was seated one sunny morning on
the lawn in front of pretty cottage,
when the children of the household came
running up to me in much excitement
to say that pussy had just come out of
the garden with serpent in her mouth
This was agitating news, and we were
not long running off in quest of secure
retreat. From the parlor window we
watched the cat as she paced up and
down the lawn with her head erect, and
waving her tail in conscious pride at
her victory over the serpent.
After awhile she left it lying appar-
emily dead, and we then went cautious
ly to examine the enemy 1t was about
as thick as mans finger, and thirteen
inches long. Pussy had bitten it on the
neck, which had caused its death Upon
showing it to the gardener, he pro-
nounced it to be larger specimen of
the 'blind-worm' This reptile is found
all over Great Britain, though very rare
IN some parts. 1t is rather an interest
ing creature, as it seems to be a link be-
tween the serpent proper and the liz
ard.
The bllnd-worm Is seldom longer than
sixteen inches, and is of nearly equal
thickness throughout its length the tail
is not tapering but blunt. 1t is very
shy and easily frightened, and is a per-
fectly inoffensive creature, though often
prosecuted by ignorant persons under
the idea that it is venomous
It is a mistake to suppose that it is
lind; its eyes though very small, being
luicll and brilliant. 1t feeds on slugs
md small insects, and if it is in a gard
en- at all it is sure to be found concealed
lnder dead leaves, or among decaying
vegetable matter. Its tongue is forked,
nut not nearly so much so as in the true
serpant 1t is altogether an interest
ing creature, and if it is not of much
use it does no harm to any one

Mother.

Don't call your mother cold woman. -
Let her always be mother" cold
lady" is bad enough, but the cold
woman" applied to her who gave you
life and nursed your infancy, is rude
and unlind. A writer has these re-
Elections upon it:
Once it was Mother, Tn very hun
gry;" Mother, mend my Jacket :"
Mother, put up my dinner" and then
Mother" with her loving hands would
spread the bread with butter and stow
away the luncheon, and sew ON the great
patch, her heart trimming with affen-
ton for the impetuous, curly little pate
that made her so many steps, and near
ly distracted her with his boisterous
mirth.
Now she is the cold woman" but she
did not think it would ever come to
that. She looked ON through the fu-
ture years, and saw her boy to man.
hood grown, and he stood transfigllred
in the light Of her own beautiful love.
Never was there a more noble son than
he, honored of the. world, and the staff
of her declining years.
Ay, he was her support even then,
but she did not know it. She never
realized that it was her little boy that
gave her strength for daily toll, that his
slender form was all that upheld her
over the brink of dark despair.
She only knew that she loved the
child, and felt that amid the mist of
age his love would bear her gently
through its infrmities to the dark hail
leading to life beyond.
But the son has forgotten the tender
now. Adrift from the
tender mornings of home, he is cold,
selfish, heartless. Mother" has no
sacred meaning to the prodigal She
is the cold woman" wrinkled and gray,
lame and blind. Pity her, o grave,
and dry those tears that roll down her
furrowed cheeks Have compassion on
her sensitive heart, and offer it thy
quiet rest, that it may forget how much
it longed to be dear mother" to the
boy it nourished through a careless
who in return for all this
wealth of tenderness has only given
back reproach. Reader, are you guilty
of like ingratitude?

James Russell LoweII's Little Joke.

A good illustration of the partiaIitv
shown to literary persons of reputation
was given some time ago in Boston.
James Russell Lowell. favorite con-
tributor to the atlantic, and one of the
brightest of all our magazine writers.
concluded to play joke upon the pop-
ular monthly. He accordingly wrote a
long, clever article, which he called the
Essence of American Humor.n and
read it to number of his friends. who
said it was one of the very best of his
compositions. He EMPLOYED some one
to copy it and sign it "W. Perry Paine.n
and send it to the atlantic with the re-
quest that, as it was maiden effort. the
editor would give an opinion in writing
to said Paine. He waited fortnight,
but heard nothing from his paper. when.
being IN Boston, he dropped into the
Office of the atlantic, and. meeting
James L. Field, adroitly turned and
conversation upon humor and remarked
that it was singular so little was written
upon the subject. Fields replied. "We

but, by Jovel l didn't believe it was

BY way of self-defense Fields de-
clared he did not read the thing. but
that he did not believe that a man who
signed his first name with the initial
and the second full could write for the
atlantic. That was about as ingenious,
an excuse as he could make for his
