Muscle-Beating.

In Riga, Russia, there is a gymnasium
at which many diseases are cured by
beating the surface of the body with the
hands, or instruments called muscle
beaters."
These instruments consist Of three
elastic tubes fastened together at the
handle; the circumference of each tube
is about that of finger, its length, as
also the thickness of the material of
which it is made, varies according to
the different purposes for which it is
made.
DR.. Klemm, the manager of this insti-
tuition, holds that, as so much refuse
matter is constantly thrown off through
the skin, it is of the utmost importance
that this organ should be kept in the
best possible condition and that the best
method of doing this and promoting
nerve-currents and blood circulation, is
muscle-beating.
He further holds that the advantage
of this manipulation over all others, is
that it makes the texture of the skin
softer and more elastic, and that its &C
ton spreads deeper and not only pro-
notes nutrition of muscle, but also the
dCtifIty VI LILO UlOOO-fcoScIS III tuc
bones.
1t is especially beneficial in cases of
rheumatism and all chronic diseases re-
sulting from an impaired circulation of
the blood.
If the surface of the body is cold at
any point, it is an indication of an OBJ
structed circulation, and by slapping
with the hands or heaters, till the parts
are warm, the equilibrium of the circu-
lation is restored. and serious conse-
quences to health are often avoided.
1t is very old custom to treat the
diseases of the human body by mechan-
ical means. The most ancient peoples,
the. Egyptians and Indians, had in use
many different manipulations and exer-
cises of the body for the purpose of aid
ing the curative tendencies of nature. =
DR.. Karell, physician to His Imperial
Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, says he
agrees completely with the principles
laid down in work on this subject, and
that they are based on the natural sci
ences.-Y Youths Companion.

How a Noted Duelist Died,

The Comte de Larilliere, one of the
well-born among the bretteurs, met one
day in the street a business man named
Castera, walking with his young and
pretty wife. He advanced to him and
said, with polite bow: II beg your
pardon, but l have made bet with my
friend here, whom l beg to introduce
to you, that / would kiss your wife
while she was walking with you''-here
the other man turned livid-"after hay
ing given you a slap in the face" Cas-
terra fought him next day with pistols.
The count first shot hit Castera on the
right ear, the second on the left Be-
fore the third, he cried: "Cette fois je
ferai mouche," and with the third he
shot Castera through the eye. Castera
was avenged in a manner dramatic
enough. One night, as Larilliere sat in
his favorite seat in a cafe, when
masked ball was going on hard by,
stranger in domino and mask came
up to him, overturned his glass of punch
and ordered glass of orgeat instead.
Larilliere, for the first time in his life,
turned pale, and cried: "You scoun-
drel, you don't know who 1 am" 80,
yes" the stranger replied. 81 know
you quite well." and with the words
forced him down into the chair from
which he had risen. The orgeat was
brought, and the stranger, holdings pts.
tol to Larilliere's head, said: Unless you
drink this of, | shall blow out your
brains on the spot; and if you do drink it
Oft will do you the honor of fighting
you to morrow" with the saber?"
cried Larilliere, who had lately been
practicing with that arm. How you
like" said the stranger. Then as La
rilliere drank off the orgeat, he added,
II have humbled you enough tonight
Iput off killing you till tomorrow" The
morrow came, the adversaries met, and
Larilliere found that he had met his
match. The stranger left him not a
minutes breathing space, but never fol-
lowed up his attacks, until at last La
rilliere cried insolently: "When are you
going to kill me?" '.Now," said the
stranger, for the first time using his
saber like duelling sword, and lung
ing through Larilliere's heart. Masses
were said in the churches of Bordeaux
for the man who had kept his name Sc
cret and rid the town of it's scourge.-

The Story of Robin Adair

A young Irish physician of the name
of Robin Adair, walking toLondon stop
ped at an inn, where there was a coun-
tess whose leg had been broken by the
overturning of stage coach. His prof
fered services were accepted, and he
performed his work so skillfully that she
insisted he should not leave her. Ulti-
mately she took him to London and in
troduced him to the best social circles.
He became enamored of an earrs daugh-
ter, and taught her to sing eileen
Aroon." Afterward he was parted from
her by a cruel fate. She connected his
name with the song, and thus changed

brated tenor upon the English stage,
where it met with the same instantane-
Gus success as did Home, Sweet

Sound Advice,

An aged and respected New-Yorker,
who was on visit to relatives in the
interior the other week, was interview
ed by a farmer who wanted advice as
to how he should start his two sons in
life
Haven't you got anything in mind
yetP"
"No-nothing."
''Do you want them to be rich and
respected?'.
.'Of course do.''
'.Well, l should send one to West
Point, and make great General of
him."
'You wouldp'
YES, and should start the other in
the livestock business"
''What for?"
why, to let one lead an army, and
the other feed it. 1t is twenty years
since the War closed, and vet we are
still making up purses for Generals and
paying the claims of contractors. You
might as well start right, and give your
sons first mortgage on the United
States, as to turn out pair of patriots
who can't buy courtplaster to hide their
scars

How Paris is Lighted.

The streets of Paris are lighted by
43,0S9 gas lamps, and 429 lamps which
burn petroleum and COLA oil. There
are in addition $4,000 jets of gas in the
buildings which belong TO the munich
pality, and the total cost of lighting
them is estimated for the current year
at 6, 500, 600 francs. An ordinary gas
lamp burns about six gallons of gas an
hour, and the cost for a year. suppos-
ing the gas to be burning for about ten
hours every night, is almost exactly 1O5
francs. The petroleum and oil lamps
cost about so per cent more. The gas
company employ seventy-six men in
looking after the lamps and the mains,
many of them being told off to inspect
the meters and the pipes in private
houses, and see there is no escape. The
lighting power of the gas supplied by
the company is tested every evening at
eleven laboratories situated in different
parts of the city.

Speaking of the iron market, the
Philadelphia Press says: 1.-The fact that
steel rails have declined rs to so per
cent. within year should not be re-
garded as an indication of the condi-
ton of the iron trade throughout. Ca
pacity for the production of steel rails
has more than doubled within the past
two or three years, besides which very
heavy imports were made in 1880, 1881
and 1882. A considerable increase of
capacity has been made in other direc-
tions, but in no such proportions as in
steel rails; neither is there any reason
to suppose that there will be any such
decline in prices. Pig iron quotations
are about as they were year ago, and
although such thing may occur, there
are very few who have a thorough
knowledge of the trade who predict with
any degree of confidence even a dollar
per ton Decline

Idaho Meanness.

Don't you 60 there" he said, as he
turned around on the passenger who
announced that he was going through
to Idaho. "They are the most selfish
people you ever saw" "HowP" "Well,
take my case. l ran wildcat under
school house and discovered a rich
mine, and yet they wouldn't let me do
any blasting under there during school
hours for fear of disturbing the children.
1 had to work at nights altogether, and
they even charged me thirty cents for
breaking the windows" ''Indeedr'
''And in another case, where 1 staked
out a claim and three men jumped it,
the Governor refused to issue ammuni-
ton or let the Sheriff move; and do you
know what had to dop l had to dig
canal from the river, three miles away,
and let the water in to drive the Jump
ers out; and even the Coroner who sat
on the bodies made me pay for the cof-
fins, and charged me S12 for funeral

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT.

Mess. Robinson d Hinrichs:-Weta take
this means of attesting our high opinion
of Hinrichs' american Corn Cure. Our
opinion of its value in removing Co77as
and Warts is based on the fact that we
have used it and have found that it will
do just what you claim for it. As cure
for Cor7as and Warts it is deserving OF
the highest praise, and we take pleasure
in recommending it to all who are affiict-
ed, knowing that it will effect q cure in
every instance.

'Wnen two gentlemen cau on the

Once upon a time an editor in search
of food was compelled to pawn his dia-
mond shirt-studs for a loaf of bread.
While conveying the humble meal to
his castle hungry dog ran off with it,
and few moments later robbers de-
prived the editor of his watch. Instead
of being ratified b. these untoward in
cidents, the editor smilingly remarked:

A clerk of an eminently respectable
house, the head of which is q deacon,
was instructed to prepare an ADVERTISE

He prepared one which read: s'The

saw that advertisement it positively
made him dizzy, and the fact that he
was called upon by the church to ex-

resignation any more pleasant for him

supply was at once given him, and as

A Young Man In Peril.

of Wayne, State of Michigan, IS. says
the Free Press, who is going to be ter
ribly astonished before the year 1883 is
more than a month old. The law will
reach out and clasp his throat just

neck.

was fairly before the court.

The oyster-beds of Puget sound are
attracting attention, and when railroad
facilities are completed, there'is no rea-
son why the northwestern section of the
United States should not receive their
oysters from this source. The gather
ing of oysters has been so far carried on
by the Indians, but lately white men
have engaged in the business, and
transplanting has taken place to the
advantage of the oyster. Of late some
very wonderful beds of oysters have
been discovered. The oysters are de-
scribed as being of unusual size, and
though more meaty than those of the
Atlantic coast, are quite as well flaw
ored.

Using Wet Fuel.

Lazy people have sought to convince
themselves and others that there is
economy in using green wood that is
full of sap. Science and observation
alike condemn the notion. All the
moisture in wood must be evaporated
before it will burn. By splitting it and
exposing it to the heat of the sun in a
current of air the moisture will be ex-
PEELED without the expenditure of heat
created by burning fuel. If, however,
the green wood is placed in stove or
fireplace, considerable amount of fuel,
previously dried by artificial heat, must
be consumed in evaporating the mois-
ture it contains. Heated steam is not
consumed, as some people appear to
suppose. 1t passes up the chimney and
gives off but very little heat. The
amount of heat required TO dry wood so
it will burn is very considerable. Green
wood is very inconvenient as well as
expensive. 1t makes an unreliable fire
that can not be depended on for either
heating or cooking purposes. 1t is pro-
ductive of much smoke and of little
satisfaction or comfort. Green wood is
very heavy to handle, and some varie-
ties will weigh fully twice as much
when full of sap as when thoroughly
dried in the sun. Unless wood is to be
drawn on runners over the snow there
is great saving in having it dried be-
fore it is taken from the forest to the
house When it is once dry it should
be put under cover so that it will not
absorb rain or become covered with
snow The loss in burning damp coal is
not as heavy as in burning wet wood,
but after all it is very considerable
According to experiments made in Ger
many seven tons of damp coal will only
produce as much heat as six tons that
are dry. The price of one ton of coal
will buy lumber enough to build pro-
years.

The coast of Newfoundland and I

The coast of Newfoundland and the
shores and headlands of the Bay of St.
Lawrence are described in Canadian
official report as being not only danger
Gus, but so desolate and barren that
sailors wrecked there are in danger of
perishing from hunger and cold, if they
escape the fury of the waves. Many
have frozen or starved to death before
they could penetrate to the interior or
were rescued. The region is full of
such traditions, and the superstitious
see ghosts in every storm. Life-saying
stations are to be established.
