THE GOOD OBSERVER OF NATURE.

The good observer of nature exists in
fragments, trait here and trait there.
Each person sees what it concerns him to
see. The fox-hunter knows pretty well
the ways and habits of the fox, but on any
other subject he is apt to mislead you. He
comes to see only fox-traits in whatever he
looks upon. The bee-hunter will follow
the bee, but lose the bird The farmer
notes what affects his crops and his earn.
ing, and little else. Common people, st.
Pierre says, observe without reasoning,
and the learned reason without OBJ
serving. If one could apply to
the observation of nature the sense
and skill of the South American
rdstreador, or trailer, how much he
would track home. This mans eye is
keener than hounds scent. a fugitive
can no more elude him than he can elude
fate. His perceptions are said to be SO
keen that the displacement of leaf or
pebble, or the bending down of a spire of
grass, or the removal of little dust from
the fence, are enough to give him the clew.
He sees the half.obliterated footprints of
thief in the sand, and carries the impress.

if he had the best of eyes, but who would
go many miles on an errand to a new part
of the country. He seemed to carry q
map of the township in the bottom of his
feet, most minute and accurate survey.
He never took the wrong road, and he
knew the right house when he reached it.
He was a miller and fuller, and ran his mill
at night while his sons ran it by day. He
never made mistake with his customers
bags or wool, knowing each mans by the
sense of touch. He frightened a negro whom
he detected stealing, as if he had seen out of
the back of his head. Such facts show
one how delicate and sensitive mans rela.
tion to outward nature through his bodily
senses may become. Highten little more,
and he could forecast the weather and the
seasons, and detect hidden springs and
minerals. A good observer has something
of this delicacy and quickness of percep-
ton. All the great poets and naturalists
have it. Agassiz traces the glaciers like
rdstreador, and Darwin misses no step
that the slow but tireless gods of physical
change have taken, no matter how they
cross or retrace their course. In the OBJ.
scure fsh-worm he sees an agent that has
kneaded and leavened the soil like giant
hands. John Burroughs, in the Century.

Is COPPER Poisonous AFTER ALL, I'm
this age OF rehabilitations one is hardly
surprised to find the poisons-or what
were deemed to be Notwithstanding with
partisans. NJ. Galippe, French savant,
has undertaken to clear copper from the
unjust imputation under which it has la.
bored Of possessing toxic properties. He
has been experimenting since 1875 upon
dogs with gerdigris. bluestone and various
salts of copper, and he has come to the
conclusion that copper canpot cause fatal
poisoning" And on its being objected that
the emetic effects of these substances prob.
ably saved the animals lives-dogs being
particularly susceptible to the action of
emetics-he courageously proceeds to try
similar experiments on himself, having all
his food regularly cooked in copper vessels
coated inside with verdigris, and he feels
none the worse for it. Furthermore, he
has over and over again found copper in the
liver and kidneys of persons who have died
from natural causes, and his analyses of
wheat, chocolate and other alimentary SUBJ
stances have revealed the presence Of in
finitesimal quantities of copper in their
composition. These are facts, he says,
which should not be lost sight of in making
post.mortems of persons whose death has
been attributed to metallic poisoning. and
he believes that ignorance OF them has led
to more than one Judicial error.-[St.

The writer's father was a country doctor, and with

ton, and often for none at all To the country
doctor in question, he sat in his buggy an Irish
man, who had stopped him on the road, was relat-
ing his suffering from what he called "a dreadful
pain in me chist."
"oh, Pat" said the doctor, perhaps impatient az
the d. tenuop, "put mustard plaster on your
chest
"AA' will that suck out the pain. Docthur p asked
Pat, wanting foundation for his faith.
at won't hurt you anyway, Pat" answered the
doctor, whipping up his horse. Then continuing to
his companion: "My son, l wish somebody would
invent plaster that would suck out pain, as Pat
put it. have plenty of plasters, some of which
make myself and others that are patented, hut ana
free to admit to you that there isn't much virtue in
any OF them"
This was years ago, and the good Doctor is gone
where, we are told no one is ever sick. BE didn't
live to see or hear of BENsoN's CAPCINEP POROUS

out" so much pain to-day. The doctor, in connec-
ton with his practice, kept little village drug
store, where he dispensed the cheap and common
plasters of the time, "whose merits" he used to
say, "must reside in the holes, for he didn't as

Mining Machinery.

We would call attention to the adj
vertlsement Of the Pacific lrCn Works

Francisco, California, in another col.
umn. This is one Of the Oldest and
ost noted establishments in America.
They have long made a speciality of
mining machinery, and their expert
ence III the business runs through the
history Of mining in that country. The
establishment is Il very extensive one,
and thoroughly equipped in all its de-
partments with the best engineering,
ability and mechanical appliances
that the world affords, and the pro-
ducts of their works may be found in
nearly every mining camp of impor-
lance east and west of the Rocky
Mountains. These works have long
been noted on the Pacific Coast for
the superior character of their ma
chinery, and the many valuable i'm
provements they have made in the va
rIous mechanical appliances which
have contributed SO much to success
inl minin,. Their smelling furnaces
for boil galena and copper have revo.
lutlonized this branch of business, and
added immensely to the value of thi..
class of mining properties in all parts
OF the world. Their hosting works
are noted for their convenience and
safety; their stamp mills for effective
and economical results. Parties pur-
chasing from the firm here mentioned
can have every assurance of honorable
dealings, and the benefit Of their long
experience and intimate knowledge of
the business IN all its branches.
