THREE COINS TO THE DOLI4R

1t was in the bar-room of an uptown
hotel. A somewhat pretentious and
self-opinionated politician was treating
his listeners to fatulent exposition of
bimetallism, the coinage and the new
nickel. He knew all about it, and no.
body could get word in edgewise.
At length one of the auditors said !:
"By the way, have you seen those new
coins-three to the dollar?"
What are you giving me? There
amt no such CON-" said the oracle
Reiteration brought more emphatic
denial, until the wine was wagered as
to whether the United States treasury
did or did not produce coins three of
which made a dollar. The gentleman
maintaining that it did drew from his
pocket two bright quarters and so
cent piece, saying: "These three United
States coins make 81. The wager does
not require them to be of uniform val
ue. Selah."
It was trick, and not an original
one at that, I think; but it bottled up
the oracle. York Star.

Everybody, says the Western Rural,
has heard of Boston's brown bread and
baked beans, and many of our readers
know what they are from pleasant ex-
perience. Boston, and in fact New En-
gland, are about as well known for their
baked beans as they are for their
"culchaw In Boston it is the uni
yersal habit to have baked beans for
Sunday morning breakfast. The lowest
and highest gather about the baked
beans of Sunday morning, and feast
upon about the cheapest article OF diet
there is in the market. During the
week the tables of the rich groan be-
meath the costliest of dishes, and the
tables Of the poor are scantily spread
with the cheapest that the markets
afford. But on Sunday they all eat OF
the same dish, and thousands of them
from the same oven. It is O matter OF
curiosity to see the bean-pot going to
the bakery on Saturday night The
servants, where servants are employed,
and the good housewife whose husband
cannot afford the luxury of a servant
gill, prepare the pot on Saturday. The
beans are parboiled until the skin
cracks they are then placed in the
celebrated Boston bean-pot, which is
earthen and much smaller at the top
than at the bottom. Salt is added to
suit the taste, and sometimes spoonful
of molasses. A piece of salt pork, about
as large as the first three fingers, is
sliced through the rind at the distance
of an eighth of an inch, and placed upon
the top of the beans, or rather imbedded
in them until the surface is even. Then
the pot Is taken to the bakery, a check
received, and, upon presentation of the
check in the morning, the Sunday break
fast is returned ready for the table. The
streets are full of bean pots and their
bearers. They 60 to the cottage, to
Beacon hill, and to North street. The
bean is the great leveler in Boston soci-
ETY.. On the farms of New England the
plan of baking is to make rousing fire
in an old fireplace, and when the wood
has been consumed, the pot of beans is
buried in the Goals and ashes, where it
remains until Sunday morning - and
these are the best baked beans ever
eaten,

THE DETERMINATIONS OF OLD AGE

THE DEGENER4TIONS OF OLD AGE.
We have spoken of the atrophy of old
age-the wasting due to the lessened
power of the system to take up the
proper nourishment of its respective
parts. Were this all the loss that comes
with years, most old persons would live
to hundred and over, and die by an
almost imperceptible decay.
But there is beside-in part both a
consequence and cause of the former
fact-a change, more or less, in the It's
sues, or substance, of the body.
In the place of muscular fiber there
often is fat Resembling the fat of
bacon) and hence called fatty degenera-
ton. It is also called waxy degenera-
ton from its wax-like appearance. This
is not an accumulation of fat around an
organ or between it's muscular fibers,
such as takes place in the corpulent, but
a substitution of fat for the fibers them
selves. Of course the toughness and
elasticity of the muscles are thereby
lost.
Sometimes the change is to chalk
like substance which is known by the
name of "cretaceous" degeneration.
While the former renders the muscle
soft and weak and easy to give way be-
fore unusual pressure, the latter renders
it unyielding and brittle.
While all the organs are liable to
these degenerations, the heart and the
arteries are especially SO. Such changes
in these important organs greatly hast
en- on the decay which characterizes old
age.
1t is the opinion of DR., Charles Muir
Gibson, LID, FRS, that these de-
generations are due to the liver, the
great sewer of the system. This, weak
ened by age, is no longer able SO to act
on certain waste matters that they can
be properly eliminated by the kidneys.
Hence they remain in the blood and
juices of the body, and work, beside
other harm, the above results. Youths

scorpions NO SUICIDES.

Has the scorpion suicidal tendencies2
Such is the long-vexed question which
South African naturalist has been en-
deavoring to answer-without success.
After reading an. account of his expert
ments in Nature, one is tempted to
think, with Lord Byron, that the
scorpion itself will be much interested
in speedy solution of the problem.
eff once" he says, in note to the
"Giaour," fairly established as insect
Catos, they will probably be allowed to
live as long as they think proper, with
out being murdered for the sake of a
hypothesis. Here are some of the
Experiments: :" Condensing sunbeam
on various parts of the scorpions
body; heating in glass bottle twenty
or thirty individuals" were killed in
this way; surrounding with fire or hot
embers; after various experiments had
been tried in vain. Il placed him in
the midst of ring of embers on the
hot stones of the fireplace; he once
more crept over the embers, but this
time got baked before he could escape;;"
dlacing in burning alcohol; placing in
concentrated sulphuric acid placing in
a bottle, with piece of cotton wool
moistened with benzine; treating with
series of electric shocks; general and
exasperating sources Of worry; and,
last and most crucial test of all, small
pellet of phosphorus was placed
near the root of the scorpions tail, the
phosphorus was lighted, when the
creature tried to remove the phospho-
rous with it's sting, but it did not commit
suicide. It may be added that fresh
scorpion was needed for every expert
ment, which in all cases were repeated
on several individuals. II think"
naively says the experimentalist, with
touch of irony, "it will be admitted
that some of these experiments were
sufficiently barbarous" fhe last is posi-
lively sickening) "to induce any scorpion
who had the slightest suicidal tendency
to find relief in self-destruction. He
came to the conclusion, however, that
he could not place on record one in
stance of unmistakable srlicide.-.PaU

HURRY, WORRY, and WASTE.

Thd London Lancet utters its pro-
test from medical point of view
against over-work and worry. We
have, it says, too many irons in the
fire, too much business on hand at the
same Instant, and are far too energetic
in our endeavors. With deliberation,
calmness, and such reserve of strength
as result from perfect restraint, man
may do an infnity of work without
either trouble or injury. Breathless
haste, eager anxiety, and excessive ex-
penditure of energy are the outcome
of modern activity, whether in this
country or on the Continent. The sys-
TEN of quick returns" has been the
bane of literature, almost extinguishing
it and substituting in its place jour-
nalism." The same system has revo-
lutionized thought and science, and it is
rapidly undermining the human con-
stitution. Statesmen and politicians
are kept on the strain of sustained at
tention, and their brains are for many
hours in the twenty-four, whether in or
out of Parliament, in condition of
fern ent. The brains of spectators
on the stock exchange, and even the
brains of merchants, in their private
rooms, are equally taxed, and in the
same way. The period is one of brain
wearing impetuosity, of hurry, worry
and waste-the waste of cerebral energy
and nerve force. The only marvel is
that, looking to the utterly unphysi-
illogical character of our mental and
nervous habits of work, the number of
sudden failures is not greater than it is,
and that we have not larger brain
mortality to ideplore.

HOT AND COLD DRINKS.

A correspondent of Knowledge calls
attention to some of the disadvantages
of hot drinks. Cold drinks, he says,
are natural to man, though most people
nowadays are so used to hot drinks
that they do not feel satisfaction-really
stimulation-unless they have them.
Hot drinks are injurious to the tongue,
for they deaden its sensation, and, after
taking the soup or drink, the tongue
becomes quite numb, and unable to
taste the finer favors of a dish. The
teeth are greatly injured by them, and
many dentists say carries decay is due
to them alone. They crack the enamel
and thus allow carries to set in. When
carries has once set in, hot drinks are
common cause of neuralgia.
Hot drinks are specially hurtful to the
stomach. They cause irritation of the
nerves of the stomach and consequent
mild inflammation of that organ, so that
after hot drink the stomach is red and
congested; in time debilitated condi-
ton is set up. A temperature of 100
degrees Fahrenheit also destroys the
active ferment of the gastric juice
pepsin-and so leads to indigestion. If
the stomach is at all disordered, hot
drinks give rise to much gripping pain,
and in many cases to vomiting.
In cases of diarrhea, too, hot drinks
only increase it, while cold ones tend to
lessen it. Thirst is not common in
winter, unless sugary, salty or hot
spiced foods have been taken. In cold
weather the air contains more moisture
than in hot and in cold weather there
is less perspiration. Hot drinks in
crease the volume of heat in the body,
and if that is not required, it is quickly
got rid of by the skin. Water is the
best thirst quencher, but if simple food
be taken the need of drinks will be
small. Many vegetarians drink moth
ing from month to month, the only fluid
they get being the juices of the fruits
which they eat. But pleasant drinks,
like tea, coffee, ETC., may be taken luke
warm for long time with little appar-
ent damage. The least injurious is
cocoa, made with plenty of milk, and
allowed to stand until nearly cool. A
good test is to apply the little finger to
the drink, and if it be not hot to it, then
it may be safely taken.-Halps Journal
of Health.

IMPERSoNALTTY OF THE PRESS.

IMfEHSONALlIJ OF THE PRESS.
Wilmington Oel.) Morning News:
There is no doubt that the personal OBJ
lvion which overtakes the individual
writer upon large journal is at times
very disheartening. He finds that all
his learning, accuracy of Judgment,
originality of thought and felicity of
expression, which might be expected to
enlarge his personal repute, really go
to swell the authority and influence of
the newspaper which employs him.
The newspaper absorbs everything to
such degree that the individual writer
often finds himself unable to retain all
the modest little reputation with which
he started. All this is annoying, and,
as age creeps on, sense Of unjust
treatment springs up that tends to de-
prive writer of his natural vivacity
and intellectual vigor. But it is by this
process alone that the powerful and
commanding newspaper is produced.
Unless all personal individuality is sunk
within its spacious columns the public
sense of journalistic individuality can
not be secured The modern American
newspaper is produced by the most
elaborate organization on the one hand
and by steadfastly and absolutely de-
priving every individual worker on it of
any chance of making himself person
ally known. It thus comes about that
the newspaper has a separate, indie
pendent life of its own, and that in its
knowledge, sagacity, candor, breadth
of view, foresight and Judgment it far
exceeds any man who may be connected
with it. It feeds upon all who have
anything to do with it, but its own exist
ence and power are altogether independ-
ent of any who may have hand in its
production. It is new creation, with its
own rules of conduct, its own methods
of action, it's own individual attributes
and functions. Like most organized
forces it makes way with some of the
individual rights of the men whose joint
labors produce it; but in return the
community gets what could not be had
otherwise, press that cannot be fright
ened nor bought, and whose eyes are
always open, whose brains are always at
work s

cH1oROFORMING DURING SLEEP.

CHLOROFORMING DURING SLEEP.
The possibility of chloroforming a
person in sleep, without waking him,
having been disputed in a recent MUIR
der trial, DR.. J. V. Quimby, of Jersey
city, was led to test the question exper-
mentally. DR.. Quimby made arrange
ments with a gentleman to enter his
room when he was asleep, and apply
chloroform to him. This he did with
entire success, transferring the person
from natural to artificial sleep without
arousing him. He used about three
drachms of Squibb's chloroform, and
occupied about seven minutes in the OPP
cation.
The second case was boy of Is, who
had refused to take ether for minor
operation. DIR. Quimby advised the
mother to give the boy light supper
and put him to bed. She did so, and
DIR. Quimby, calling when the boy was
asleep, administered-the chloroform and
performed the operation without
awakening the boy. The third case was
a boy of 10 years, suffering from an ab-
scess, and the same course was pursued
with equal success.
Two important differences may be
drawn from these cases, DR.. Quimby
said. Minor surgical operations may be
done with perfect safety, and much
mole pleasantly than in the ordinary
way and, secondly, person somewhat
skilled in the use of chloroform may
enter sleeping apartment and admin
lister chloroform with evil intentions
while a person is asleep. Hence the
use of this drug in the hands OF Grim
inal may become an effective instru-
ment in the accomplishment Of his ne-
fareous designs. Medical Advance.

Morris has a brilliant future. Stu
ated in the midst of Stevens, one ofthe
most highly favored counties in the
famous park region, with many nat
ural and acquired advantages 1t will
certainly become one of the most
prominent railroad and commercial
centres in the Northwest. Less than
twelve wears old, Morris now has an
immense business centering within
her limits, and a population of fifteen
hundred. Stevens county has devel-
oped as well. AS soon as the railroad
reached it and it's advantages became
known, people tiocked in and in very
short time all government lands were
taken. The climate is healthful.
Water is easily obtained in the nu-
merous lakes or by digging but few
feet. The soil is rich and fertile, pro-
ducing cereals and root crops in pro-
fusion Many fruits do well and with
luXuriant grasses, pure water and
shade afforded by oak groves and
timber skirtings, the tvantages for
stock raising are unsurpassed. Here
we will give a few figures compiled
from the official records which will
show what the development of the
county has been. These figures have
been published before, but they will
