According to the traditions of the
Jewish rabbis there was no physical ill
ness among men before the food
A Wisconsin girl has horns growing
on the sides of her head. She conceals
them by a careful arrangement of her
hair.
1t was formerly customary in various
parts of England to have a garland Of
flowers or sweet herbs carried before a
maiden's coffin, and afterward to suspend
it in the church.
1t is asserted that crows have twenty
seven distinct cries, calls or utterances,
each readily distinguishable from the
other, and each having an unmistakable
connection with a certain class of action.
Salamanders fell from the clouds dur
ing heavy storm of rain and hail at
Velasco, Mexico, recently. A curious
fact in connection with the case is that no
lizards of the kind are to be found in the
lakes round about.
Mr.. Carries says that at Phyong Yang,
in Corea, the hats worn by the poor
women are baskets 81 feet long, 2b wide
and 2t deep. The men wear a similar
basket, but smaller. 1t requires both
hands to keep it in place. Women of
the better class wear white cloak over
their heads.
A foreign paper says that a French
physician, at the time of the pestiIence
at Marseilles, wore, on his round of
visits, an armor consisting of short mo-
rocco gown, helmet of the same mate
rial, and nose stuffed with aromatics,
in order that the air which carries infec.
tious germs might be kept from him.
A health society in London finds by
experiment that currents of air in a room
have direction and angles definite as those
of billiards. An illness of the Duchess
of Connaught was caught on sofa ex-
posed to a draught of foul air from the
basement, which would not reach her
bed. Speaking tubes, pipes and hoists
are all conductors of dangerous air from
the lower regions OF a house.
A Georgia paper says that before the
war there was bird in the South that fed
exclusively on cookie burrs. At certain
seasons of the year these birds would
sweep down upon the fields and when
they departed not burr remained The
smell of burnt and burning powder for
four years seems to have been too much
for the burr-eaters, since now not bird
of the kind is to be found in the bush.
The rope that binds murderer is util-
lied by those who know the superstitions
of negroes. After an execution in
Georgia colored coachman got a piece
of the rope and went among the negroes
and sold the bits to them for charms.
He had no trouble in finding buyers, the
negroes all believing the little pieces of
white rope to possess hidden and pow
erful charms for both evil and good. He
said that he got from twenty-five to
seventy-ive cents for each bit of the
"charm rope" realizing handsome sum
from his trade.

EgYptian Houses.

The towns on the Egyptian shores of
the Red sea stand along the borders of
the khors which come from the noun
tains back of them, which find their way
through many shallow channels to the
sea. These channels, which are dry
three-fourths of the year, are passage
ways, or streets, of the villages The
houses stand on the slightly higher
ground between the channels. They are
scattered about in a very irregular man
ner. The better class of houses are thus
constructed: First, framework is made
of boughs and branches of the acacia
tree; then a waiting of straw is woven
closely among the boughs of roof and
sides, so as to make waterproof cover
ing for the interior Around the houses
of the chief men Enclosures of similar
construction are made TO keep prying
eyes from peering into the sacred pre-
cincts of the harem within. The huts OF
the poorer people are mere tent-shaped
structures, lightly covered with skins OF
animals or with coarse mating.

HARVEST.

The South wind breathes a chant as It goes,
Blessing the ripened ears that bend
And murmur low as If each one knows
The warm South wind as tho touch Of a
friend.
The inland sea has no epic song
OF storm and conquest and trophies rare
The sweet South wind rs it sweeps along
Has no note in it Of fear or care
The golden strings Of the inland sea
Sound rich full chords of grateful land (;
Plenty and Peace are all that see
Where the bursting wheat ears nodding
stand
Garners full with a yellow store,
Cupboards once empty no longer bare,
Labor repaid, nor craving more,
JOY and contentment everywhere.

Eclipses of the sun.

The eclipses of the sun are caused by
the moons passing between the. earth
and the sun. If the two bodies fol lowed
the same track in the heavens there
would be an eclipse every new moon,
but as the orbits are inclined, the moon
generally passes above or below the sun,
and there is no eclipse. Occasionally
the sun is near one of the moons nodes
the points were the planes of the or
bits intersect-when it passes, and then
an eclipse occurs. If the sun and the
moon were always az the same position
with regard 10 the earth, and always the
same distance from it, the ecipses would
always be of the same size. But rs these
conditions vary, so do the appearances
of the eclipse. For instance, let us sup
pose that at the time OF an eclipse the
centre of the moon happens to pass di-
rect over the centre of the sun. If the
moon is near the point in the orbit
which is at the least distance from the
earth her apparent diameter will exceed
that of the sun, and the latter will be
quite hidden from view, and we have
what is known as a total eclipse OF
course, even in this case, the eclipse will
only appear total to the observers near
the line joining the centres of the sun
and moon. If, however, the three bod
les occupy similar positions, but the dis
tance between the earth and moon is
greater, the whole of the sun is not COW
cred by the moon, aud the eclipse is
annular. If the moon, however, does
not pass centrally over the sun, it can
only hide part of the latter on one side
or the other, and the eclipse is said to be
partial. As the moons orbit is quite ell
liptical, the distance Of that body from
the earth varies greatly. It's least dis
tance is 221, 600 miles, its greatest 259, 600
miles. Inter Ocean.

More Trouble Brewing for the Wabash.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The Journals special from
Springfield says; More trouble for the Wabash
railroad is threatened by the Knights of Labor
who espouse the cause of the striking Wabash
shopmen, and assure them of their sympathy
and support T. " Powderly, who is the chief
officer of the national organization, came to this
city and personally investigated the difficulty
which arose from the refusal of the company to
discharge the non union men who were mploYed
during previous strike and retained them.
Powderly is credited with the opinion that the
strike is a just one and assumes that the action
of the company is intended a square fight in
opposition to the labor organizations 1t is
claimed that all the Knights of Labor on the
Wabash system will sustain them and 60 out on
a general strike to morrow.

Clerk McLain Explains that He Never In
tended to Charge Exorbitant Figures.

County Clerk McLain says that he had moth
ing whatever to do with the rumor that he in
tended to charge "a. so for physicians licenses.
| The only charge he can make under the law, is
ST. so for the license, fifty cents for the necessary
affidavit, if he draws it up, five cents for fling
| and ten cents for recording July IL he asked
the court to constlue the law, and on
the 23d he was given written opin-
! ion that he was entitled to these fees.
Judge Kibby, of Wayne county, has also decided
| that these charges are legal Mr. Mclean says
| that some of the local physicians have caused a
| discussion over small matter. Somebody sent
| circular to the doctors that 81 so would be
| charged. OF this circular he knew nothing
until the tempest in teapot was raised. At
no time prior to this discussion did he figure on
the fees to be charged. He knew what.she law
allowed and was content with that. Physicians
are required to bring their diplomas. Those who
| have none, and come under the
three and tenyear clause, must pay little
more for the extra affidavits The

be discharged, and recommended that the county
doctors get their affidavits from any legal source
rather than the county clerk. This met with
unanimous approval.
On motion, the society adjourned to meet the
first Tuesday in September. This ends the
bloodless war between the county doctors and

The Pennsylvania Restores Emigrant Rates

The Pennsylvania Restores Emigrant Rates.
CHICAGO, July ga private dispatch received
here states that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany intends to issue an order within day or
two restoring emigrant rates from New York to
Chicago to $l3. On the top of this comes the
information that the Baltimore s. Ohio HAD
decided to reduce the emigrant rate from Bati.
more to Chicago to 81. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company reduced it's emigrant rate
early last spring to 81 from New York to Chicago
and St Louis, and as the other roads refused to
carry any of the business at less than $13 the
Pennsylvania has been carrying nearly all the
emigrant business this year. If it has decided
to advance the rate now, it is no doubt for the
reason that it has made enough contracts at the
ST. rate to keep it busy until the end of the year.
AS far as can be learned, nearly all the emigrant
business to come over this year has already been
contracted for, based upon the 81 rate by the
Pennsylvania. The action of the Pennsylvania,
therefore, will help the other lines but little for
the rest of this season.

celebrated Irish financier and specula-
tor, was found lying stark and cold
near Jackstraw's Castle, on Hamstead

occasion was Dr., Edward Staunton.

was found, stark and cold, on nearly
