The SchOOlmarm Of To-day.

The intelligent and successful school
marin of to-day is the beautiful flower
of developing, growing, expanding,
aspiring womanhood. No more sig
niticant fact could be pointed out as
indicating the rapid changes that are
taking place in the position and infu-
ence of women than to compare the
schoolmarm of to-nay with the school
marin of the past. The schoolmarm
of the past was respected, but COM
miserated. But the schoolmarm of to-
day is a totally different being. She
is proud of her membership in a pro-
fession whose dignity and Importance
are every day being more widely
recognized. She enters upon her
work with enthusiasm, and performs
it with the disposition and aims of the
artist. She dresses we'll, and is cheer
full and happy. Out of school she be-
lieves in seeing life and enjoying her
self. And we may be sure that the
American schoolmarm will soon be
readily recognized by any close OBJ
servers of persons and manners in that
throng of new world travellers in the
old world. She will be distinguished
by neat, elegant, convenient and APP
propriate dress; by the absence of all
unnecessary trappings and bundles; by
her genuine, care-free and hearty in
terest in everything; by her quiet,
composed, respectful and self-respect-
ing manners. When she returns she
will bring with her q few genuine
treasures of remembrance, but will not
probably attempt to smuggle kid
gloves and lace. The American
schoolmarm is, indeed, one of the most
important and most admirable of
American institutions. All hail the
schoolmarm who goes to Europe for
her vacation. -Redding Pa Herald.

Arsenic for Fat(ening PURPOSES.

In Vienna, the use of arsenic is a
very common occurrence among horse
dealers, and especially with the coach
men of the nobility. They either shake
it in pulverized state among the corn,
or they tie bit the size of pea in
piece OF linen, which they fasten to the
curb when the horse is harnessed, and
the saliva of the animal soon dissolves
it. The sleek, sound, shining appear
ance of the carriage horses, and espe-
cially the much admired foaming at
the mouth, is the result of the arsenic
feeding. 1t is an ordinary practice
with the farm servants in the mountain
Gus parts to strew a pinch of arsenic on
the last feed of hay before going up a
steep road. This is done for years
without the least unfavorable result
but, should the horse fall into the
hands of another owner who withholds
the arsenic, he loses flesh immediately,
is no longer lively, and even with the
best feeding there is no possibility of
restoring him to his former sleek APP
pearance.

Bad Effects OF Drinking Water.

Sanitary matters are as bad in Box
hara as they used to be in England !;
but the people are far less to blame
than our fathers were, for England is
by nature blessed far more than
Bokhara in regard to matters of health.
Some London water is even now
we'll, let us say, trying to the constitu-
tion-after it has been stored for q
month or so in filthy water-butt. But
no length of storage will, in our happy
climate, breed the "rishta," that hor-
rible worm found also in parts of West
Africa, and taken long ago over to the
New World. Old Jenkinson, who in
1858, being in the Russian service,
sailed over the Caspian and made his
way to Bokhara, says: "The water is
very bad, breeding in the legs worms
an ell long. If these break in being
pulled out, the patient dies. For all
this Inconvenience, they are forbidden
to drink any liquor but water and
mares milk; and those who break this
law are whipt through the market I;
yea, if only mans breath smells of
spirits he shall have good drubbing. 4"
It is not quite so bad as Jenkinson
said; but if the "rishta" does break, all
the little worms inside it spread
through the body, and the sufferer
gets full of ulcers, which take months
to heal. The native BARRIERS use a
needle and their thumb to squeeze it
out. The Russian doctors wind it out
on a reel, so much day, till the whole
is extracted. 1t varies from three to
seven feet in length! How does it get
In? Why, the little pools are full of a
very small gray crustacean (the "cy-
clops"). whose color makes him almost
invisible. Men swallow these, and they
are pretty sure to be infested with
~rishta" germs, which, finding in the
human stomach good place for their
development, develop accordingly, and
work their way to the skin. 1 wonder
if DIR. Lansdell gave the Bokhariots a
hint about boiling their water, not once
only, but Gas Prof. Tyndall recon-
mends) twice at least, so as to kill the
germs which have escaped the first
boiling.-AH the Year Hound.

Speech Photography.

Descriptions of the new apparatus of
Prof. A. G.. and DIR. G. Bell make it
appear quite as wonderful as the tele-
phone. 1t is based on the remarkable
discovery that Jet of falling water or
q flame of gas reproduces every sound
within given distance, and it seems
to accomplish by more sensitive means
what was attempted by the speaking
photograph. By arranging a descend
ing film of colored water between the
sunlight and moving sensitive tablet,
the vibrations produced in the film by
speech are simultaneously and contin-
uously photographed. Other arrange
ments cause the photographed irregu.
larities corresponding to air pulsations
to be retranslated into air-waves, max
ing the voice heard again. II the an
ticipated success is achieved with such
speech records, the aid of the photog-
rapher's art will be of more value to
the future reporter than a knowledge

Freezing the Gases.

Since the scientific world was sur
prised, in 1877, by Cailletet's and
Picket's announcement of the produc-
tion of liquefed oxygen, several ex-
perimenters = especially Wroblewsh
and Olzewski-have successfully at
tackled the problem of liquefying the
so-called permanent gases. 1t was ut
first thought necessary to employ great
pressure in addition to great cold, but
in the later researches both oxygen
and nitrogen, as well as atmospheric
air, have been made liquid by intense
cold at very moderate pressures.
Among the interesting results obtained
are the following: At 1852 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit chlorine forms
orange-colored crystals; at 175 degrees
below hydrochloric acid is a solid; at
200 below ether solidifies; at 202 below
alcohol freezes; at 900 below oxygen
boils; at 3l2 below air boils; and at
377 below air boils In a vacuum. These
extraordinary temperatures were meas
ures by means of a hydrogen Their
mometer and by thermopile. The
lowest temperature yet measured is
373 degrees below zero, which was
produced by the evaporation of solid
nitrogen on suddenly reducing the
pressure. From these results it ap-
pears probable that every known sub
stance within the reach of man will be
eventually obtained in solid form by
the mere withdrawal of heat.

PROMPT Reform of Bodily Evils.

activity Of the liver, kidneys and bladder. as
well as Of the nervous symptoms which these
ailments are especially prone to beget, is al

Stomach Bitters, medicine accredited by
physicians, pronounced pure by analysis, and
eminently wholesome and agreeable, Surely
such restorative is preferable to unpalatable
and indigestible mineral drugs ana unsanc-
toned nostrums. The nation at large assuredly
thinks SO, judging by the unprecedented demand
for the article from Maine to the Pacific, de-

Some people take four and even five
meals day, while others are content
with one hearty repast in twenty-four
hours. We think, however, that three
meals between the hour of rising and
that of going to bed is the golden
mean. 1t is certainly good old New
England custom, and will never pro-
duce dyspepsia if the food is of the
proper kind to put in the stomach.
When work of any kind is being done,
whether mental or bodily, the intervals
between facing food should not be so
long as to entail demands on the sys-
tenn when it's store of material for the
generation of force is exhausted. An
ordinary full meal, in the case of
healthy man, is generally considered to
have been completely digested and to
have passed out of the stomach in four
hours. A period of rest should then
be granted to the stomach. Assuming
that two hours are allowed for this, the
interval between one meal and another
would be six hours; and this accords
with the experience of most men. Dur
ing rest and sleep there is less waste 60
ing on, and especially during sleep
there is greatly diminished activity of
all the functions of the body. The in
terval, therefore, between the last meal
of one day and the first of the next
may be longer, as it generally is, than
between the several day meals. Assum-
ing that breakfast he taken about eight
or nine o'clock, there should be mid
day meal about one or two. The char
acter of this must depend on the ma
ture of the days occupation and the
convenience of the individual. With
women and children this is generally
their hungry time, and their midday
repast, whether called luncheon or din
ner, is the chief meal. So it is with
the middle and laboring classes, for the
most part. But for merchants, profess
sional men and others, whose occupa-
tions take them from home all the day,
this is inconvenient, and, moreover, it
is not found conducive to health or
comfort to take full meal in the midst
of days work. There can, however,
be no doubt that much evil arises from
attempting to go through the day with
out food, and then with exhausted pow
ers sitting down to a hearty meal.
Something of a light, easily digestible
but sustaining character should be
taken toward one or two o'clock.

We rode in our jinrikishas to the
theater, the distance being two or three
miles. Arriving at the door we removed
our shoes, as shoes are never worn IN
side of houses here The wonderfully
clean and soft mating which covers the
floors takes away any unpleasantness
which you may feel in falling into this
custom, and, indeed, rather induces
you to believe that it is the proper
thing to do. Near the door We noticed
a great number of small wooden tables,
with strings attached and numbers upon
them. These were the checks" given
for the shoes left at the door 10y the
natives. One does not wonder at this
custom after seeing the Japanese shoe,
which is almost universally kind OF
wooden clog, consisting OF wooden
base. upon which the foot rests, ele-
waited by two transverse wooden strips,
which elevate the foot about four inches
from the ground. l do not imagine
that they tend to increase the ease or
grace of pedestrianism, but they pos
sess many advantages as regards clean
illness. They are secured to the foot by
means of two bands of ropes crossing
over the front part of the foot, and Sc
cured by being held firmly between the
great toe and It's next-door neighbor.
These shoes are quickly slipped off and
on, and even if the streets are quite
muddy, the stocking or bare foot, as
the case may be, may remain quite i'm
maculate.
We were taken in by the rear en-
trance, and after being led up narrow
stairway we found ourselves in front of
the audience. About six hundred per-
sons were present, all seated upon the
floor in their peculiar fashion, and list
ening quietly and attentively to the adj
dress which was being made when we
entered. 1t was strange to see scat
tered all over the house small trays
containing teacups and teapot full of
hot Japan tea, which, by the way, 1
find most agreeable drink. A great
many were smoking, using their very
diminutive pipes, the bowl of which
will only hold a small pinch of tobacco.
This, of course, requires that they
should have the means of frequently
lighting the pipes, and with every tea
pot is found the answer to this demand
in the shape of small box containing
an earthenware jar filled with ashes
covering few live Goals. The "hiba-
CHI" as it is called, is one of the COM
monest sights in Japan. T. C..

Not Great After All.

The recent French surveys have
shown that the magnitude of the Alge-
rian sea project has been greatly exag-
gerated. No large part of Northern
Africa can be flooded, the Desert OF
Sahara proving to have an average
height of eleven hundred feet, and the
only area below sea level being com
prised in two "chotts" commencing
about one hundred miles due west OF
the Gulf of Gabes and covering only
about thirty-one hundred square miles
less than one-half the area of Lake
Ontario. The flooding of the depressed
region would give lake averaging
seventy-eight feet in depth. The crea-
ton of q new sea of such size could
hardly produce the great effects upon
the worlds climates and upon the
depth of the ocean which have been
fcreseen in the speculations of some
scientific writers.
