The Skull ResIsts TIme's Raraaea.

Why does the skull better resist the

This is a question propounded by a nat

opening the graves Of mound-builders,
and has frequently remarked that the
skulls Of buffalo, elk, and other animals
on the western plains are in a fair state
of preservation long after the other bones
have entirely decayed. Jour

Dog Funerals Common in New York

Dog funerals are common in New
York, and are quite ~the thing" The
animal has his lot in the cemetery, is
followed by the family and friends, and
has his grave decorated daily with flow

their cats as sacred animals, embalmed

An Ingenious Military Cipher Book.

The other day Maj. Lamar Cobb
showed us an interesting reminder of the
late war. 1t was a morocco bound pack,
containing fifteen leaves, through which
ran a tape line u~on each of which was
printed every letter of the alphabet. By
simply sliding this piece of tape back or
forth the cipher could be set on any
word and a dispatch written that only
those could read who were provided with
a similar key. As soon as wound the
letters could easily be thrown off, so as
not to betray this important secret to the
enemy in case of capture of an adjutant,
who were all provided with these books.

Philosophy of the second wind"

IIIIO7OPIIJ OF l1Io oecohu WIhu'
People often laugh at the expression of
second wind" In ordinary respirations
we only use portion of our lungs, the
cells at the extremity not being brought
into play. This is the reason why those
who are not lin training" and who try
to run for any distance. soon begin to
gasp, and, unless they are courageous
enough to persevere in spite of the chok-
ing sensation are forced to stop. But if
they win persevere, the choking goes off,
and the result is what is technically
known as second wind" When the
secord wind is fully established, the
runner does not become out of breath,
but goes on running as long as his legs
will :arry him.-Chicago Herald.

How Cellars should b ventilated.

The purpose of ventilating cellars is to
make them cool and dry. They are often
ventilated so as to be warm and damp.
This is done when the air admitted to
them from without IL considerably
warmer than the air within them. Com
ing into the cooler cellar, this air, while
it raises the temperature of the cellar
air, itself is cooled, and deposits its mois-
ture, which soon becomes evident at
visible or palpable dampness. Therefore
all the ventilation of cellars in warm
weather should be done at night, and the
cellar should be kept closed between
sunrise and sunset-Boston Budget.

An Answer to Mrs. Boyden's Suit Against the
Central College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The officers of the Central College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons deny that there is any truth
in the charge made by Mrs. Emma j. Boyden,
in a suit filed few days ago. that the institu-
ton was bankrupt and insolvent. The attorney
for the college has asked to have the case adj
vanced on the docket, claiming that it is
to the interest of the institution
to have the matter disposed Of
as soon as possible. In affdavits supporting the
motion Drs. Eastman and Stillson say that ''the
accumulation of dividends upon the stock has
never been understood to be within the purview
OF the college, but the increase of the facilities
for imparting instruction by additions to the
library, apparatus, ETC., has been the policy Of
the college management" and they express the
opinion that no educational institution in the
State pays dividends to its stockholders. In
addition to the property mentioned in
Mrs. Boydens complaint. the college
has a wel-selected library, valued at
$50 coo. and there is no Indebtedness whatever.
It is further stated in the affidavit that Mrs.
Boyden does not own any stock in the associa-
tion but it is believed that the fifteen and one
half shares which she claims belong to her are
the property Of DR.. r. E. Houghton, who. they
believe, is managing and controlling the action.
