The Hiudoo Idea Of Marriage.

A Hindoo has curious ideas as to
the married state Here is hus-
bands creed "A man, both day
night must keep his wife s. much
in subsection that she may not
be mistress of her own actions. II
the wife have her own free will, not
withstanding she is of superior
caste. she will go amiss A woman
shall never go out of her house with
out the consent of her husband, and
shall pay proper respect 10 her hus-
bands father, the spiritual guide,
and her guests, and shall not eat
until she has served them with Wit
uals Gf it is medicine she may take
it before they eat) I; woman snail
never 60 to a strangers house, and
shall never stand at the door, and
must never look out of the window.
II a woman, following her inclina-
tions, goes wheresoever she chooses,
and does not regard the words other
master, such a woman should be
turned away. If q man goes on a
journey, his wife shall not divert
herself by play, nor zee any public
show, nor laugh, nor dress herself
with jewels or fine clothes, nor see
dancing, nor hear music. nor SIT at
the window, or ride out, nor behold
anything choice or rare ; but shall
fasten well the house DOR and re-
main private, and shall not eat any
dainty yituals, and shall not view
herself in mirror she shall not
exercise herself in any agreeable
employment during the absence of
her husband"

A Sly Old Rat.

Two or three mornings ago one OF
our citizens missed five of his
young chickens. Lifting a board
near the chickens he scared large
rat away, and found the missing
chickens dead and partially eaten.
He found, also a nest of 13 active,
healthy little rats, only day or two
old. He took them away. determin-
ed that they should not grow up to
kill his chickens. He disposed of
four of them by feeding them to the
cat, and saved the rest for some pur-
pose. he did not know for what.
He happened TO be speaking of the
matter to friend, when the latter
suggested that if he put the little
rats into a box and put them into a
rat trap the old rat would fnd them
and come after them, and ifthe trap
was nicely baited he could capture
the old rat and thus destroy the
family. He thought that good
idea and tried it. The next morning
be found the trap sprung and the
old rat there in. He rushed to the
trap, satisfied with the result of his
experiment. The old ratsawhim COM
ing, and putting forth extra efforts,
succeeded in escaping from the trap.
Then he looked for the little ones,
thinking he would setthe trap again
in the same way, when he discover.
ed that the old rat had carefully re-
moved the little ones to q place of
safety before running any risk itself
and now had gone to join them.

Premature burials, could. it is
said, be avoided by a single test,
which, if reliable, should be univer-
sally known. 1t is that the hard,
ball-like substance of the eye connot
be felt in the body of a dead person,
as the eyeballs become soft and
yield to pressure the day after death,
and are softer still twenty -four hours
later. On this subjec: it is related
that Prescott, the historion, always
entertained peculiar dread of be-
ing buried alive, and he had there
fore often requested that measures
should be taken to prevent all pos
sibility of the horrors that might
follow such an occurrence. His in
functions were obeyed. A princi-
pal vein was severed, so that, if life
should again be awakened, it might
ebb silently away without any pos
sible return to consciousness.-Lon-
don Echo.

How We Breathe.

The rapidity OF the respiratory
movements in man is about one in-
spiration to four heart-beats, or fif-
teen to twenty-five per minute;
greatly varying, however, according
to age, sex and circumstances. In
animals of high temperature, breath
ing is much faster, becoming almost
a tremor in birds. In the whale, on
the contrary, breathing is suspended
while the animal is under the wa
ter, it being supplied with reservoirs
of pure blood. When the latter is
exhausted the creature comes to the
surface and puffs and elbows" to
obtain air and fill the reservoirs.
The difference in the color of the
blood of vertebrates is chiefly due
to the varying amounts Of oxygen
in chemical combination with the
hamoglobin of the red co,puscles
the brightness of color being pro-
portionate to the oxygen. An es-
sential part of the hamoglobin is
iron; and it has been supposed that
the change in color is due TO a chem
ical change from a ferrous to fer
rie salt. But this simple and plau-
sible explanation is now denied by
eminent Psychologists, who admit,
however, that the iron has some es-
sential but unknown influence. A
minor cause of the darker color of
the blood is the swelling of the cor
puscles by the ABSORPTION Of carbon
ic acid. The corpuscles are the OK
ygen carriers, seizing the oxygen in
the lungs and conveying it to the
tissues, where it unites with carbon
hydrogen.
In larger quantity, carbonic acid
acts as a narcotic poison for on ac-
count of its superior attraction fer
haogoblin, it replaces and excludes
the oxygen. Other gasses, as nitric
oxide, have the same effect.
The human lungs exhale in twen-
ty.four hours about Two pounds of
carbcnic acid. This is the product
of the burning of nine ounces of
carbon. As giving some idea of the
forces within the body, it is interest
ing to know that the combustion of
nine ounces of carbon liberates over
six million foot-pounds of energy.
This is equivalent to more than one
eighth of horsepower acting con-
tinuously for twenty-four hours, or
it equals lS2 horse-powers working
for one minute.
