s@- The Scientific american thinks that
the agitation in regard to the cruelties prac.
,iced on animals has been rather overdone
through ignorance Of the nature OF pain,
which, it insists, depends essentially upon
the mind aud not upon the nerves. All anil
mails OF lower grade than human suffer very
much less pain from physical injuries than
our own sensations convey to us. We can
readily see the proof of this in their habltual
actions. Many of the starfshes detach parts
OF their arms at the very smallest provoca-
ton, and remain uniujured by the change or
loss, A fish which has torn away the hook
from line in lis struggling to escape WILL
take the bait again as soon as its fright has
passed of, and while the hook still remains
| in the law which it has perforated. A fawn
whose foreleg was wounded by shot had 1t
amputated without anasthetics, and gave
scarcely sign of pain. Coming still higher,
we recognize the fact, which is perfectly well
known, that savages of the human race pay
small attention to injuries. Again, every
surgeon sees convincing proof 10 his daily
experience that the sensltiVeness OF his Varl-
Gus patients varies so widely that there must
be SOME cause for it beyond that which 10
physical. There is no such wide diversity IN
the nerve tissue of their systems as can &C.
count for the extreme differences with which
they doubtless feel it. The conclusion is that
though the transmission of pain is dependent
OIL nerve fibres only. its seat aud origin are
beyond, and are truly not physical at ALL
Pain is mental.

The Grenada gazette. (Grenada, Miss.) 1885-18??, 1886-08-14

The maidstone owned by Mrs. VIM
ter, of this place, was again brought
into requisition on last Saturday. A
youth by the name of Arndale, from
near Grenada, was bitten by mad
dog and came here and had the stone
applied to the wound The stone ad-
hered to the bite for thirty hours.
Every few hours the stone was taken
off and placed in warm water, which
has the effect Of relieving the stone Of
the poison, when Il Is again applied.
Applications are made until it ceases
to adhere to the wound, which shows
that the poison has all been extracted
--absorbed by the stone--aud cure
effected. Since last fall the stone has
been applied in six different cases of
mad dog bite, and cure in each case
effected, no unfayorable symptoms
ever appearing. This stone has been
in the family for one hundred years,
and originally came from Scotland
Batesville panoljan.

Mr.. Allen, of Mississippi, thought
he should apologize for discussing
pension matters, as he had been a
Confederate private. 1t was said that
Confederates ought to have thought
OF this matter of pensions twenty-five
years ago. He acknowledged that at
the beginning of the war he had not
given that due consideration to which
1t had probably been entitled. Laug-
htcr. He had been quite young boy
then; but along about the third year
he began to think seriously Of it, and
so much had he been impressed with
the fact that the course he was pursu-
ing would bankrupt the United States
in pensioning the widows of the SOL
diers he was killing that finally, gun
in hand, he retreated across five or six
States, with the enemy in front, ,rath-
er than slay whole amy. The con-
test had finally come to the point
where he said he would have to slay
a whole army or give up, and he laid
down his gun like man and went
home. He wanted to call attenti to
little incident which had occurred
when he was on his way home. He
had gone into the war at the age of
fourteen and remained four years and
he was pretty well tired of fighting.
There was another boy with him as
he was going home who had not been
in the war SO long, and who wanted
him to go across a river in Alabama
and fight with Kirby Smith. He had
had about enough fighting and DIDN'T
wish to go, and they were arguing
about the matter when they saw an
old gentleman across a field waiting
for them at fence. When they
reached him he was very much inter-
ested to know about the surrender
and "about our institution 81 told
him,' continued Mr.. Allen, "that
our institution was gont. Laugh
ter. He asked me what was going
to do. told him / was going home.
HI said: Young man, you are right.
You go home and 90 to pIowing. My
experiences that when you fight and
get whlpped,you ought to go TO some
hing else. Then he began to phiiOs-
,phize, and he said: "Boys, that has
oeen mighty bad war; we have lost
4 good many of our best men; we
nave a great many one-legged and
)ne-armed soldiers in our midst who

An ancient and irreprOaChable au-
thority has put upon record the start
ling assurance that "there Is death in
the uOt;n but the latest information
appears to be that there is death also
in all the other cooking utensils and
in every separate piece of the dinner
service. Death nos only bubbles in
the pot, but he sings sol'ily in the tea
kettle and Kisses in the coffee urn.
He is ut home on the great dish that
holds the roasted joint. The silver
water pitcher is his dwelling place,
and he is in the very middle of every
piece of ice that cools your claret. H.
deed, the disclosures of science upon
the subject Of poison in ordinary ar
tirles of food and drink are such as to
horrify a thirsty man with good APP
petite and to convince him that the
festive board has more perils than an
ordinary battlefield. If one follows
up closely the studies and inquiries
of the learned upon the subject of
food ndulteratinn he must be Il very
blaYe man if he does not end by
starving himself to death for fear of
swallowing a fatal dose. He must
necessarily be convinced that theonly
safety in life is eatinga very little and
drinking nothing at all.

Applying Power Direct.

A boat will soon be in readiness to
leave New York for Newport, which is
to test a new means of propulsion.
When a steam-engine is used. but little
o than four per cent of the power
contained in the coal is utilized. This
is because Of the waste in the burning
of the coal, and the loss of power in
overcoming the inertia of the machin-
cry. But in Mr.. Secor's vessel, soon to
leave New York harbor, there is to be
no machinery. Coal and petroleum
will be used to form a gas, which is to
be expelled through tubes on each side
of the vessel. This gas. by a series of
rapid explosions, eighty in u minute,
will impingc against the water from
the stern of the boat, thus showing It
ahead. BY this method it is supposed
that all the power in coal or petroleum
will be expended in driving the boat.
According to the designer Of this YES
sci, 1t ought not to cost more than ten
cents in fuel to drive this vessel from
New York to Newport, Should this
experience succeed, a mighty revolu-
ton is impending in the propelling Of
ships at sea.--Demoresrs Monthly.

THE FASHIONS.
Pretty Designs In Head-Coverings,and New
Styles of COinfurc,

AhCtty Deblkhs Ii Now
Stylos of Coiffurc.
Velvet is very much used this winter
in combination with airy gauzes, tulles
and other transparent tissues. Gauze
bodices have velvet facings turned back
to form a bertha. Similar faces are
added to the short sleeves, and tiny
bows of velvet to correspond are set
here and there, butterfly fashion,
among the cloud-llke drapings of the
skirt.
A pretty little opera bonnet direct
from Paris has y rounding crown of
cream-white velvet and a coronet brim
faced with pale blue velvet OVERLAND
with a delicate network Of pearls.
Strings Of any sort are omitted, and a
cluster of small, but full ostrich tips in
cream white are mingled above the
coronet with a number Of %pert-looking
blue velvet bows, and two fragile
aigrettes made of crystal stem, with
pearl and opal pendants.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
couture dressed very high is the leading
style in Embarrassing, the low Grecian
coil is not by any means discarded.
The latter mode of arranging the hair
is followed without change, season aft
er season, by sensible women who are
satisfied that the high couture is not be-.
coming. They therefore pay no atten-
ton to the fashionable mutations in
EMBARRASSING, and save themselves any
thought or worry in the matter.
For those to whom the stately STYLE
OF couture is found most becoming,
there are now n number Of pretty
and becoming modes of arrang-
ing the tresses. One is called the
Leah style, in which the hair is all
combed to the crown of the head, and
there tied. A very wide basket.plaiting
is then made of the entire length of the
hair, and when completed this is laid
in a high upright coil about the head
and above the waved front. A
large jeweled comb is set at the back
just where the hair is first tied. For
another style, the hair is ted, then dis
all over the crown Of the head in
coils or soft loops, those held in place
by head.pins with electric diamonds,
