A Curious Climate.

One of the most curious results of my
observation is that the climate of Da-
MARYLAND possesses what we might call
an antiseptic character for several months
of every year. The quality is an attend
ant of the long annual drouth. Every
living thing suffers during that period
from the excessive heat, and much COM
fort is impossible, even in the shade,
while in places exposed to the warm
winds the thermometer has risen to 129
degrees; and the sand, unmoistened for
six months, becomes so hot that 1 have
seen eggs hardened in it. This arid heat
is opposed to the propagation of ferment,
for it dries up everything that is exposed
to the wind before it has time to sour.
No manifestations of tuberculosis are
known. Wounds of every kind heal re-
markably quickly and well, without
enough suppuration taking place to make
the bandages stick. The manner in which
large, neglected wounds heal of them
selves would form an interesting study
for professional surgeon. l observed Il
case of Herero whose right lower arm
had been shattered in battle by a musket
ball. The healing process had worked
itself out in such way that the whole
lower arm, with all It's muscles, had be-
come withered and useless, while the up
per bone was whole and covered at its
lower end only with the brown skin. All
the muscles and ligaments of the elbow
joint had vanished, while the shoulder
muscles remained, so that the unpleasant
spectacle was presented of man appear
ing to gesticulate with his bones. A
woman lived at our station whose feet
had been barbarously cut off in some
war several years before, so that her
captors might more easily get off the
iron ornament which the Herero women
wear on their ankles. Although the
woman had to lie helpless for a long
time, her wounds eventually healed up
and now she has been hopping around
on her knees for thirty years. Populai

Two sturdy miners started to ascend
one Of our neighboring mountains with
the intention Of working a claim that lay
near its crest. They made the trip on
Norwegian snow-shoes, on which they
worked their way up a narrow gulch lead
ing to their property. AS they journeyed
on, one of them got to be some two hun
dred yards in advance Of the other, and
it was while this distance separated them
that the leader by an unhappy step over
turned top-heavy mass of snow and
started dreadful slide. He seized hold
of a convenient tree and called to his
companion to 'look outl" The tree was
small and bent over under the weight of
moving snow. He let go and started
with the snow. The long shoes by this
time were firmly anchored in the moving
mass, and he was hurried along with no
power to stop himself by seizing the
trees which he passed. Fortunately, he
was on the tail end of the avalanche, and
thus rode it in safety, with nothing COM
ing behind to cover him up.
When he found he had thus to be an
unwilling passenger upon the terrible
train he looked ahead to see what had
become of his partner. The latter, seeing
that there was no escape on either side,
turned heels to the roaring mass and
started on a life-and-death run right
down the gulch Then followed a wild
and thrilling chase. The man who was
anchored on top of the snow yelled at the
man in front to run, while he who was
pursued strained every muscle to keep
ont of the jaws of the death that was
close at his heels. The sight would have
been amusing if 1t had not been Of such a
serious nature The race was kept up
for more than mile, and during the en-
tire distance the fellow who was on top
kept yelling, "Run, rum and the hair of
the fellow who was running held his hat
poised four inches from his head while
he headed for the valley. Often the
rolling snow struck the heels of his shoes
but it did not quite get him. More
quickly than it takes to tell it the hunted
man dashed out into the valley, and what
he thought was safety. The valley, how
ever was more dangerous than the noun
tain, as an unseen gulch crossed it, into
which the hunted man fell. Providence,
though, was kind to him, for the slide
had spent its force, and the snow piled
up on the bank over which he had fallen.
When the two were able to look
around one was lying at the bottom of
the gulch, while the other was seated
upon the crest of the snow bank that
looked over its edge.-AspsR (Col. }

Distinguishing a Birds Notes.

The invalid son of a prominent ply
sician up town has several canaries and
mocking birds as well as pigeons, which
he has studied so thoroughly that he
claims to be able TO understand all their
different calls and notes, and by limitations
to hold intelligent communication with
hls feathered pets. 1t would really seem as
if these birds have a language of their
own, for as he proved they have a diifer-
ent note or call for every condition or
wish which on attention is recognizable.
4 canary was taken into an adioin-
ing room and put in a cage, and in re-
sponse to several peculiar notes of the
lads, gave others that enabled him at
once to exclaim 1T is in a cage and can
not come 10 met Immediately released
the bird uttered several notes, and the
lad exclaimed 1T is free and will come
10 me if / want him." A bird in the yard
below gave several shrill notes, and the
lad said "He is pecking at something
which he cannot get ~ Glancing out the
window in the yard il was discovered
that the bird was trying TO pick some
seed that had. become imbedded in some
