 Pain From an Anputated Foot.

About four weeks ago at Byron,
 Dr. Townsend ot Bergen, amputa- ted the foot and ankle of Mrs. Wm Goodliffj just below the knee. The foot and the portion of the leg re- moved were buried in the cemetery, the wound was dressed as usual. and the patient was satisfactorily recovering and was as comfortable as could be expected in every par. ticular, except that she had at times very severe pains in the am putatod foot. The pain was very annoying and at times caused her to cry out from the suffering, from which sho could obtain no relief. After about three weeks of such suffering her husband was prevail. ed upon by his mother and others to 80 to the cemetery and dis;nter the offending member, for it all the time appeared to her that the foot was still attached to her and was the cause of all the trouble. Ac- cordingly, as her husband, William Goodliff, gives the account, be took up the foot, and upon examination found the stocking had been rolled down tightly across her heel and instep, which bound it very closely and also found that ' bandage had been wound very tight around her toes, upon which was very troub- lesOmc corn. He removed the strioture occasioned by the stock ing and bandage and again laid away in a careful and easy position the offending member, since which Mrs. GoOdliff has had no further trouble with it. This occurred about one week ago, and there has been no return of those annoying pains. MT. Goodliff says these are facts; that there is no mistake about it, and that the statement can be substantiated by quite number of witnesses.

Rodney returned too late for Monte
Carlo to be quilted that night. He had
found the lair, but not the wolf. Nor
did several ensuing days bring him more
success. Yet they were halcyon days to
him and Rotha, filled with explorations
of the queer old city, inland excursions,
wanderings about that terraced, flower
freighted paradise, with its gay crowds
and gayer music, and, for Rotha-when
she could induce the MACPHERSON to take
her-the strange attraction of these silent
halls, where yelled vice, open misery,
doubtful triumph, and undoubted ruin
shifted to and fro as in CHASTITY kaleid-
scope.
Daily the fascination grew upon her,
exciting an influence whose power in
applicable to herself-was incommunica-
BILE as invisible to others. Rodney, true
to his self-distrustful resolution, fleeing
the shadow of temptation refused to en-
ter the gaming saloons even as specta-
tor. For Rotha it seemed different. The
scene amused her; and though to Mac
Pherson it was old and stale enough, he
found in studying her-young, fresh, and
innocent-the charm she felt IN
watching others. Not to please her,

EARLY PORTRAITS OF CHRIST.
Suppression OF jewish Art-Portraiturs
in Heather Hands-IdeaI Pictures.

Suppression Of Jewish Art-Portraiturs
in Heather Hands-Idea1 Pictures.
Years ago the writer saw picture
with this inscription: 1.-The only true like
ness of our Saviour, taken from one
carved on an emerald, by command of
Tiberius Caesar, and given from the treas
ury of Constantinople by the emperor of
the Turks to Pope Innocent VIII, for the
redemption of his brother, taken captive
by the Christians" Further search dis
covered the same picture associated with
different incidents, and led to a study of
the pictorial conceptions of our Lord in
sacred art. In the time of Christ super
stition had suppressed all pictorial jew
ish art even in portraiture, and though
skillful and ingenious in all else, no Jew
dared to paint portrait, and no strict
one would even allow his own to be
painted, for fear Of violation of the
second commandment.
Portraiture was, therefore, almost ex-
clusively in heather hands, and consum-
mate as was Greek art In painting the
faces and forms of men, it had small
scope in that little Syrian province of
the Roman world, where painter was
an outcast. The first pictures of Christ
were probably the work of some of Bis
own disciples, and gradually as those
who loved him desired to see His face
with the eyes Of sense, the less scrupu-
lous Gnostics, with their ruder form OF
Greek art, repeated again and again
some prototype well known to them, but
unknown to us. Very early in Christian
history-as early, indeed, as we have
any history outside of the gospels-there
was some well-known ideal, and many
copies, though varying among them
selves, distributed among the Oriental
churches In Asia and Africa, not always
the same in every detail, but 50 uniform
in general that they were distinguished
at sight.
The earliest known historical mention
of such work, though only incidental, is
made by Tertullian (born in A D. 1907,
who criticises a picture of Jesus as sin
correct, and wanting in resemblance.
This implies that there was q correct

An AIkali valley Out west.

Cinnabar valley was emphatically the
meanest country encountered during our
journey. Level as floor, baked as hard
as a brick by the sun, the soil is SO arid
that nothing grows naturally upon it,
except little spindling sage brush, in
terpersed with prickly pear, averaging
about one plant to the square foot The
priclkly pear is a low spreading plant
with broad leaves, the size of the hand,
which are covered with thorns, as if a
paper of tacks had been emptied on them,
all with their business ends up, as ascer-
tanned the first time l sat down on one.
1t has pretty flower of all shades, from
scarlet to lemon yellow, producing a rich
combination of colors. To pick them
one needs pair of tin gloves, as the
spines will penetrate a thick driving
glove with ease.
The valley also rejoiced in possessing
large proportion of alkah in the soil,
which made the dust extremely disagree
able. Yet people have settled there, and
at one or two ranches, where there was
irrigation, we were surprised to see
fields bearing quite respectable crops.
Hemmed in on every side by high noun
tains, every breath of air was excluded,
while the sun beat into it like furnace;
consequently the ride across it was ex-
tremely hot and tiresome.-Cor. Ameri-

Cause Of Colds in the spring.

This is the time of year to secure the
largest and most troublesome stock of
bad cold that the human system can &C
commodate. No one need catch cold
now-such cold will catch them without
the slightest effort. For the weather is
always changeable and frequently disa-
greeable at this period of the year. The
pleasant temperature invites to exercise
and then suffuses one with perspiration.
The warm morning invites a change of
Undertaking and the piercing after
Moons send the changeling home SILVER
ing. People are more apt to be impru-
dent-indeed find it the hardest thing
to be prudent--in the spring than at any
other time. One does not know how to
dress, for what may be comfortable one
hour may be unbearable the next. 1t is
cold, hot, temperate, bright, clear,
cloudy, raining, or showing all within
eight or ten hours. The only thing to be
done is to watch the weather closely and
do your level best to dodge its playful
tricks. Many persons are convinced
that they have had the same old cold for
several consecutive seasons and believe
they can identify it even when it fastens
upon some one else.-Baltimore News.

MEXICO, ANcIeNr ANo MODERN.

PrescOtt's Story n Fairy Taler-What Cor
ter Did-dOdern BIexico's Resources.
In a recent number of The Popular
Science Monthly Mr.. Davia A. Wells
knocks the romance pretty much out Of
Mexico, ancient and modern. He init
mates that Prescott's story Of the con-
quest of that country is largely a fairy
tale and that the rude Cortez with his
Spaniards did not destroy a splendid civ
ilization at all. In order to magnify his
triumphs Cortez and his fellow Spaniards
portrayed these people in royal robes;
set them up in palaces and adorned
them with something of this nobility and
grace of the Spanish hidalgos. But their
tools and their weapons tell the story.
These were all of stone. The Aztecs
belong to the stone age, and their instru-
ments are inferior to those used by the
savages of Vancouver's island and the
Feejees.
Having no domestic animals or beasts
of burden, or roads or any means Of
transportation except mems backs, it
would have been an impossibility TO sus-
tain population of 300, 900 people in the
City of Mexico with food or water, the
water near the city being, then as now,
salt and undrinkable. And it is now
conceded that the population of all the
Aztec tribes did not exceed $50, 900.
The great idol and sacrificial stone in
Mexico belonged to the Toltecs, SUI
perior race living further south, who
with their fine steel tools were able TO ex-
ecute the famous sculptures of Central
America.
AS to Modern Mexico, its resources
have been greatly exaggerated. 1t is
situated on an immense table land 5000
to 1000 feet above the level of the sea
with very dry, temperate climate; but
it has no navigabie rivers, and altogether
is zone of the very poorest and most
wretched of all countries, and not likely
to develop into a great civilized, rich and
powerful nation"

ferred when roasting on the Goals with

Electric Lamps on Passenger Cars.

A railroad man expressed the opinion
recently that it would not be long before
passenger coaches viii be lighted with
electric lamps. AS soon as the electric
headlight for locomotives shall have been
made a success, which he was confident
it eventually would be, the system could
be easily extended throughout the entire
train, thus doing away with the smoky,
ill-smelling lamps which are one of the
positive discomforts of railroad travel
under tae present system. Electric
lamps would be peculiarly suited for the
lighting of railway carriages, and along
suffering public will hope that their adj
vent may be near at hand. Chicago

| Systematic Manner of Handling Cotton.
There is no business in the world down
to finer basis, and yet simpler, than the
cotton business. You would hardly be-
ieve that it could be possible to trace a
single pound of cotton back through a
long channel of persons handling it in
is course from the planter to the spin
ner, and yet it is so. In the first place,
when he brings it in ON his plantation,
the planter brands the bale into which it
is packed. Every bale has number and
brand, and when it is shipped certain
numbers go to certain factors, and notes
are made for those certain bales. When
the factor receives it he puts his number
and brand on it, and thus when we re-
ceive it the bale bears two brands and
numbers.
Then we put on our marks, and when
the factor sells bale or 100 bales, the
order of shipment or delivery is made for
those certain marked bales. We do not
receive an order for 100 bales of cotton
to be taken miscellaneously, but for 100
certain numbered and marked bales, and
in getting them out it may be necessary
to first move 1000 bales. When the cot
ton is shipped out to the eastern spinner
or to the spinner in Europe or on the
Continent, and anything is found to be
wrong-bad cotton, stuffing or anything
to make it weigh heavier-it is quickly
traced back through all of the various
people who have handled it to the
planter, and reclamation awarded at the
proper ace.-Superintendent Reifsnyder

type, which a true picture should re-
semble. Nothing better illustrates the
number and antiquity of such pictures
than the fact that the earliest ecclesiast-
ical historian, Eusebius, in $40, speaks of
them as very plenty, and some of them
already very ancient, and associated
with traditions of miraculous origin.
Augustine, in the next century, speaks
of "a variety of numberless pictures,
and alludes to some of them as ancient.

Poisonous Elements of Stale Medicines

Recent microscopic investigation has
shown that saline and acid solutions,
tinctures, extracts, infusions and decoc-
tions are fertile soil for the growth of a
variety of plants. Probably nearly every
thing in the way of liquid preparations
standing in their wrappers on the drug
gists' shelves, and the tinctures, extracts,
etc, that are not fresh, viii show vege-
tations under a moderately strong glass.
These plants flourish at the expense OF
any medicinal virtue that the mixture
may be supposed TO contain, and in them
selves are tonic or poisonous elements,
producing in many cases serious distur-
Dances of the mucous membrane and
often changing the diseases for which
they are swallowed into something worse.

There are 100000, 900 people living

A gentleman who was engaged for
years in searching Chinese steamers
states that he often saw Chinaman land
at the dock In San Francisco, with moth

except a fishing net. In about a month
the same Chioaman would appear as a
shipper of from three to ten tons of fish.
He had associated himself with four or
five others; they had secured second

months he was not only shipper, but
an importer, receiving large lots of rice,
sugar, dried fowls, and other articles of
Chinese food, as well as clothing.-Chi-

Fish Hooks Used by the indians.

The hooks used by the Haidah Indians
for catching black cod are made of the
knots of limbs of the hemlock cut from
old decayed logs. These knots are split
into splints of proper size, then roughly
shaped with knife and then steamed
and bent into shape, which shape they re-
tain when cold. 1t is usual to tie from
seventy-five to one hundred hooks to a
line, at a distance of about two feet
apart, and the fishes are so plentiful that
not infrequently every hook will have a
fish.-Chicago Herald.

Great Tmportance OF the Hen.

. For the year 1888 the poultry product
of this country was $500, 100000. Under
an equal divis on each uan, woman and
child in the country would have paid
over 81 to the poultry farmers. But we
paid more than that, for we imported
about half as much as we produced
China alone sent us $4,000, 900 eggs.
These are tremendous figures. Our poul-
try interest, it seems, is more than double
the value of the dairy interest. It wss

his poems while riding on tho cars. His
manuscript of Deukalion was in the
moulting state when met him for the
last time. l shall never forget the dra-
matte stateliness with which he read to
me several of those superb choral pas
sages, that are surpassed in English only
by the melody of Swinburne's verses. He
dislilled that you should at all refer to
him as a noted traveller. His relation to
