A House On Legs.

A number of years ago party of Eng
fish naturalists, with several native at
PENDANTS, penetrated previously unex-
plored portion of India for the purpose
of establishing stations, and eventually
open up country very rich in natural
advantages. Upon reaching suitable
spot, the workmen commenced their
task of erecting asubstantial building.
1t was necessary to have large cellar,
and deep excavation was made
The earth was dry and sandy, and
was worked with ease. The absence of
large stones was noticed; indeed there
was found no hard substance that would
have interested a geologist. But late in
the afternoon of the first days work,
one of the natives struck his pick
against resisting substance. Another
blow, and the implement broke through
into hollow space. The earth being
scraped away, large smooth object was
exposed, of so strange an appearance
that the attention of the commanding
officer was called to it. He at once pro-
nounced it bone.
The fact that they had come upon the
grave of strange animal created great
excitement, and all hand went to work
clearing away the sand. AS they pro-
crossed, their wonder and amazement
increased also; their discovery began to
assume the shape of dome, and APP
peared to be rounded off Finally, when
four feet or more of sand had been
cleared away, they saw hut-shaped OBJ
ject, that seemed, through the hole
made by the pick, to be partly hollow.
The natives one and all thereupon de-
clared it hut, or house, built by some
of their ancestors, that had in course of
time been covered by the earth. Others
thought it one of the dwelling places of
a strange people who lived under the
earth; but to the English naturalists
there was more simple explanation,
for the curious house was the shell
of gigantic turtle belonging to an
age long past. The work progressed
rapidly; and though when exposed to
the sun some parts broke in pieces, the
entire shell was successfully uncovered
and complete restoration of it was made
The shell was that of a land tortoise.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago il
had lived and died-and the dust, sand
and vegetation had gradually covered il
up and preserved it as a monument Of
the animal wonders of that ancient time
So enormous was the shell that wheI
the sand and dirt were removed, several
Of the men crawled into it; in fact, il
might have been used as house, and OF
subsequent occasion was so used by
party which took refuge in it during I
sudden shower. So. Nicholas.

A man in Galveston, Texas, lost ovel

A man in Galveston, Texas, lost over
two inches of his left clavicle, or bone
joining the shoulder and breast bones, in
a gunshot accident, and a local surgeon
decided to try to fill the gap with pieces
of bone taken from dogs. He cut
through their flesh to the bone, from
which he clipped such pieces as he
wanted. Twenty or thirty dogs were
thus mutilated and tortured. The man
suffered greatly, too. The flesh had
to be kept, by cutting and burning, from
healing over the wound during whole
month, and every few days the ends of
the bone were built out with small pieces
of bone obtained from fresh and healthy
dogs. A fair proportion of these gratis
grew fast, and in that way, slowly and
laboriously, the space of more than two
inches was completely filled in. The
patched clavicle is now in use, and about
as serviceable as its mate, though half an
inch shorter and hardly match in shape.

Captain Delaney, who has been the
accepted weather prophet in France ever
since he predicted the Jersey earthquake,
has just published his meteorological
alamac for 1886, and unless he is all
wrong in his calculations, next year
promises to be an "annee terrible" and
that not merely from the meteorological,
but also from the political point of view.
For, according to M. Delaney, there is
an intimate connection between cosmic
and political disturbances: theory
sufficiently indicated in the name
"Meteoropsychology"-whic which he has
given to this branch of his science. He
confidentially predicts several uncom-
monty destructive earthquakes in the
course of next year. Our planet is he
as ascertained, exceptionally troubled
in this way every twenty-eight
years; and the year 1886 com
pletes one of these cycles.
He further expects that Saturn will
make us a present of a portion of his
ring in the shape of a comet, which will
probably outshine the great comet OF
1868. The subteranean disturbance
will continue for some nine months out
of the twelve. May will be the worst
month of the twelve. the period of max
imum perturbation being the first three
days of that once merry month.

The Renewal of VIgor.

The most important step in this process is
he restoration of tho functions of digestion
and assimilation TO full and uninterrupted
exerci-e since it is upon their activity alone
that the system can depend TO rel lenish its
dwindling store of energy. Among tones
which the voice of the people and high pro-
fessional Endorsement approve as reliable,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has long been
recognized as the best, Its properties as a
medicated stimulant commend it to all per-
sons suffering from the effects of fatigue, men
tai or bodily, MS an immediate means Of coun-
teracting their effects; and in cases where loss
of vigor is attributable to such wea kening
chronic causes as dyspepsia, affections Of the
kidneys and bladder, and the intirnaties pc
culiar to age, it produces permanently benefi-
cial results. Those twin obstacles to health
and vigor, liver complaint and constipation,
are also removed by it, 1t also prevents and
cures malarial disease.

School Houses in Switzerland.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
says in letter from Switzerland: Stone
houses are very rare in Alpine districts,
and l remember quite a cnmmotion in
little village, where | was staying with
some friends in their own chalet, by a
presumptuous lowlander setting at
naught the ant lent traditions of the place,
and building house of stone. He was
rather looked upon with mingled awe
and resentment as an innovator of the
deepest dye. In most Swiss communities
the handsomest building is the school
house, with separate sections for the boys
and girls; and it is pleasant to see the
clean, cheerful faces of the little lads
and lassies as they pour in and out of
the great doors, with eager steps and
bright looks.
School, indeed, is no bugbear to the
swiss child. The education is simple
and practical, though capable of high
development. There is nothing, accord
ing to all one reads, hears and sees, of
which the Swiss have so much reason to
pc proud, and to which they pay so much
attention, as their system of education.
The school house may almost be consid-
cred the most Characteristic, as we'll as
the most charming, feature of their
national life.
Hepworth Dixon tells an amusing
story of little Swiss girl who, accom-
panying her father to Paris, was taken
by him to see the ''glories' of Versailles,
and on the first view of the colossal pal
ace clapped her hands and cried out,
"Oh, papa, look, look at the school
housel'' 1t is only on the other side of
the Atlantic that the same Importance is
attached to instruction, and that it is
given with the same equality and liber-
atty, and all honor to both republics, to
the small as well as the great, for the
highest and wisest gift government
gives its peope.
