Malaria Attitudes
ANn -

While malaria belongs chiefly to low
lying districts. II may, under favorable
conditions exist at great elevations. ON
the Tuscan Apennines 1t is found at a
height of LOO feet above sea level; on
the P%yrennees and Mexican Cordilleras,
5000 feet; on the Himalayas, e,4O0
feet; on the island of Ceylon, o, 500
feet. and on the Andes, Ii, 900 feet.
Under ordinary circumstances, however,
q certain moderate altitude affords i'm
munity from malaria. The elevation of
entire security is not positively known,
but 1t has been Appropriated as fol
lows In Italy, 400 to 500 feet; in Cal
%ifornia, 1000; in the Appalachian chain
OF the United States, 5000 feet; in In
dia, 1000 feet In any OF these re-
gIons malaria may drift up raviues to
an indehnable height.

Tie Irish have the following curious
legend respecting what they call ''blaiad

OF youth" - An Irishmsn at one period

ably received, much to his astonish-
ment. He was taken into immediate
favor by those among whom he visited.
lie was told that in a certain part OF
the county OF Limerick, from which 1t
appears he came, there was a crock of
gold hidden under a white thorn bush
in a garden. which was so clearly
pointed out TO him, that there could be-
no ~mistaking the locality. He was
further told that among the gold was a
remarkable circular piece or coin, with
which he should return to Denmark, but
that he might become the possesoor of
all the gold in the crock with the ex-
ception of that peculiar circular coin.
The freshman was obedient to the
letter. lie returned to Denmark with
the circular piece, and kept for himself
all but that. The Danes were rejoiced.

with the wonderful circular piece OF
gold, he at once became young again

boyhood. 70 with other Danes. ''You

A cur.oa. Experiment,


Experiments upon animals show that
cells t%ransplanted from one to another
late in life will either be absorbed and
removed from tho body altogether, or
will ace ept the conditions under which
they find themselves. grow and repro
duce themselves as ii they had always
formed part Of that body. Thus graft
ing of skin, muscle and bone from ami
NAL to animal or from man to man, has
been done successfully and no tumor
has resulted. When a minute piece of
cartilage taken from IN embryonic rabbit
was implanted in the eye of a young
animal Of the same species the re-
suits were altogether different. The
wound healed kindly and at FIRST all
went on as before. After a time the
bit Of cartilage began to grow, and soon
occupied tho entire eye; after a few
weeks it attained a relatively enormous
size, larger than it could have grown in
its original location, and produced
death by pressure upon the brain of It's
unwilling host

A change which would permit the
stored energies Of coal mines to be ex-
tracted on the spot, and in this form
sent to the points where needed, would
produce a revolution in prevailing me-
chanical methods. The immense space
now occupied by furnaces, boilers, and
steam engines would give way to the
comparatively Insignificant space re-
quired for the dynamo-machine.
Tho dense smoke of manufactures
would disappear; the air OF cities would
become free from SCOT and coal-dust,
and in proportion would become health
giving and desirable. The lighting of
the streets Of cities and Of private
houses by electricity would become an
economical fact, and all the defects Of
the present system of lighting by gas
would be done away with. The free
dom Of the electric light from deleteri
Gus products, such AS attend the burn
ing OF gas, and from heat, would add
materially to the health of all communi-
ties in which 1t would be employed.

ROBERT TooNBs says the negro race
in the United States must die out. and
will be practically extinct at the close Of
the next century. On the other hand, a
writer on population publishes an article
in one of the magazines to prove that in
1885 there will be 1872, 900 900 negroes,
and but half that number Of white people
in the United States. Evidently one Of
these authorities is mistaken, and the
probability is that neither Of them has
come very near the marx.

keeping the head perfectly clean is a
great aid to health. A distinguished
MUSICIAN, who has spent much OF his
time at quarantine, said that a person
whose head was thoroughly washed
every day rarely ever took contagious
diseases, but when tho hair was allowed
to become dirty and matted it was
hardly possible TO escape infection
Many persons find speedy relief for
nervous headache by washing the head
thoroughly in weak soda water. We
have known cases almost wholly cured
in ten minutes by this simple remedy
A friend finds it the greatest relief in
case of 'rose-cold," the cold symptoms
entirely leaving the eyes after one thor

should be thoroughly dried afterward,
and draughts Of air should be avoided

never knew him TO let profanity
pass without a rebuke but once. The
incident was reported to me by the chief
actor in it, MAJ. John A. Hartman, who
was Jackson's chief quartermaster, and
a man Of extraordinary qualifications.
It happened at Edwards Terry, on the
Potomac, when our army was crossing
into Maryland in the Antietam cam
paign. Mai. Gen. d. II. Hills division
was crossing, when Jackson rode up,
and found the ford completely blocked
with Hills wagon-train. He spoke
to Hill (who was his brother-in-law
they having married s~isters) for allow.
that he was not n quartermaster, or
something that implied it was no part
of his business to get tangled wagons
out OF the river.
Jackson instantly put Hill in arrest,
and, turning to Mai. Hartman, ordered
him to clear the ford. hara an dashed
in among the wagoners, kicking mules,
and apparently inextricable Il ass OF
wagons, and, in the voice of a s~tentor,
poured out a volume Of oaths that would
have excited the admiration of the most
scientific mule-driver. The effect was
electrical. The drivers were frightened
and swore as best as they could, but far
below the MAJORS standard. The mules
caught the inspiration from a chorus of
familiar words, and all at once made Il
break for the Maryland shore, and in
five minutes the ford was cleared.
jackson Witnessed and heard it all
Halman rode back to Join him, expect
ing a lecture, and, touching his hat,
said; THE ford is clear, general
There's only II language that will
make mules understand on a hot day,

The general, smiling, said: Thank you,

The Incas of Old.

No man can see Peru without wonder
ing at it's grandeur, the industry and the
intelligence of the Inca Empire. They
had arts which the world knew nothing
about, knowledge which no other people
possessed, thrift which their conquerors
could not initiate, and wealth which
made them the prey to every adventurer
of the sixteenth century, their temples
and palaces were built of hewn stone
from quarrics that the Spaniards had not
been able to discover, and the means by
which they lifted blocks of granite,
weighing hundreds Of tons, is q problem
no antiquarian has been able to solve.
The great genius and Herculean strength
and long life, some living to be nearly
two centuries old; is due to the fact that
they used no other stimulaIts or medi'
cines, except the divine coca plant, which
they believed possessed supernatural
powers over all ills that flesh is heir to.
Science and experiments of medical mon
prove the coca plant to be possessed Of
marvellous and wonderful! tonic and invig-
Grating properties. Pemberton's French
Wine Coca, is prepared from the same
coca plant which those people use:l, and
is making wonderful cures in all sections
of the county. All who are suffering
from any chronic diseases, should give
this valuable tonic a trial. The Wine
Coca will prove boon and blessing to
all afflicted with any nervous disease.

Tho First scmi-Annual Celebration of the
Calophcmian Literary Society.

CalOphemtan Literary Society.
The spacious chapel Of the University
building was filled to its almost utmost
seating capacity on last Tuesday evening,
the occasion being the first sem-annual
Celebration of the Calophemian Literary
Society Of the Anderson Military School,
A more beautiful evening could not
have been selected for the occasion. The
weather was bracing and delightful, and
the brilliantly illuminated chapel pre-
scntcd an enchanting scene. On the rear
Of the stage there were dozen or more
stacks of guns, and on each stack hung
wreath Of ivy. The flag Of the School
and several beautiful pictures were sus-
pended on the wall. The seats nearest to
the stage were occupied by several of the
Faculty and the young ladies Of the An
dcrson Female Seminary. These latter
by their radiant smiles and lovely coun-
tenanccs were enough to inspire the
Young speakers with all tie eloquence
and oratory necessary on any occasion.
Tho exercises for the evening were
opened with lively air from the Young
America Cornet Band, after which the
cadets who were to participate in the cx-
ercises marched in and took their seats on
the rostrum. Prof. Ligon made a lew in
troductory remarks, and was followed in
al eloquent prayer from Rev. r. p. Bell.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Mattison, tho handsome
young President Of tho Society, thcn, ina
few well-ehoscn words, welcomed the au-
dience. Hc said this was the first attempt
OF the Society before the public, and, as
they were young and inexperienced, he
hoped too much wou Id not be expected of
the speakers. At the conclusion Of his
remarks he introduced as the first speak
had chosen Perseverance" as his subject.
whose subject was "rrue Heroism." The
speaker, Mr. M. O. Ligon, who had cho-
sen as his subject that familiar, but truth
ful, quotation, "Honor and shame from
no condition rise: act we'll your part.
there all the honor lies" At the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Ligon's speech, Mr.. Y. l.
Masters was introduced, his subject being
"Industry.' The speeches were inter
luded with music from the Banc.
These speeches were original. All the
young men are in their teens, and to say
that they acquitted themselves admirably
would be ibut paying them mild COM
pliment. Their subject matter and de-
livery would have done credit to Older
heads.
The exercises wore concluded with the
debate Oh the subject, "The Pen is might
ier than the Sword" The affirmative
side was represented by Mcssrs. Q. D.
Anderson and II. L. Browne and tho
negative by Messrs. r. A. Bagwell and
K. w. Brown. Each speaker was intro
duced by tho President. The subject was
ably debated, and the young gentlemen
displayed considerable oratory in the do
livery Of their speeches, at the same time
evincing wcll.traincd minds, rejecting
credit not only on themselves, but on
their accomplished and proficient preccp-
tors, Professors Ligon and Clinllscales.

ticular, and the largo alldien CO showed its
