MUTILATED MANKIND.
How Men Live with One Organ or One
Member-srange Malformations.

How Men Live with One Organ or One
Member-srange Malformations.
''You may be surprised" said ply
sician, ito know how many men enjoy
the functions of but one organ and have
the service of but one member where
nature gave them two. The man with
one leg, one arm, one eye, or one ear is
familiar enough; at least 800, 900 such
untortunates came out of the civil war,
while the trenchant locomotive wheel,
the incisive buzz-saw, and the premature
blast go on from day to day, Topping off
limbs and blowing away fragments Of
the human frame at the rate of many
thousand year. These dismember-
ments are borne by the victims and are
visible to the world because of the fail
ure of efforts to disguise them, although
the cork leg and wooden hand afford
some slight concealment. But there
are thousands of men whose internal
organisms have been robbed of their
parts without leaving the least exterior
evidence. BY that / mean so far as
general observation goes, for, with the
great advance of diagnostics, all faults
of nature are revealed to the practiced
eye.
"A large number of the organs of
the body perform their duties in pairs,
tremendously rendering tribute to the
economy of the system. 1t would seem
that the loss of one would entail the
destruction of the other and result IN
that impediment of the vital functions
called death. Such a supposition is
erroneous. / know of many cases where
men are enjoying comparative health
with only one lung. The other has
disintegrated with disease and been
borne away in the circulation or eject
ed in coughing. The cavity has been
filed in by collapse of the mem
branes and the accretion of adipose
tissues and the subject lives. Hun
dreds of men live through declining
years with but one kidney. Dissipa-
ton or exposure has induced the fatal
Bright's disease or diabetes, and in its
progress one of the assailed organs has
passed away. Under such conditions
health, or even comfort, cannot be en-
joyed. 1t frequently occurs that men
survive the paralysis or extraction of
the upper lobe of the brain, which

iect be utterly unconscious, the CEN
tiers of the sensor and motor nerves,
which hold the key to the mysterious
essence called life, remain and he ex-
lists. He must, however, shortly die
of hamilton. The gastric functions for
many people are performed by one
lobe of the liver. l have known OF a
few instances where, in desperate cases
of hernia, patient has outlived for
many weeks the removal of half the
intestines. Countless persons are deaf
in one ear. Any number have but one
tonsil, while many have lost their sense
of touch in members where the COM
panion power of motion is preserved.
The scriptural sage was certainly right
when he said that we were fearfully
and wonderfully made, and for all that
the man with the solitary lung, the
unique eye or the singular leg is as
much part of Gods kingdom as we
are.-Chicdgo NelCS.

Harvest Months.

1t is an interesting fact that wheat
growing has now become so widely
extended over the surface of the earth
that the moon never fails to find ripe
field to shine upon. When the growth
of this grain was largely confined to
one latitude the regular occurrence of
the harvest moon" was considered by
some special arrangement to lengthen
the day for the hurried reapers. As
now grain is falling somewhere every
month of the year, many must have to
get along without this helpful phe-
nomenon. No doubt statement of
the continual harvesting, and the time
when different countries accomplish
their in-gathering, will be of general
interest. We find the following in an
exchange:
1t is harvest in January for Australia,
New Zealand, Chill and Argentine {;
February and March for East India
and Upper Egypt; April for Lower
Egypt, Syria, Cyprus, Persia, Asia

Seed Vitality.

The limit of life in the embryo Of
seeds has long been subject of exper-
iment and discussion. In a late lecture,
Prof. Bentley, an English botanist.
stated that it is perfectly true that oats
and other cereals have been raised from
seed found in mummys coffin, but that
it appears to be equally certain that
the grains were placed in the ancient
coffin by some means only short time
before the elimination of the body.
Not many seeds terminate under
ordinary circumstances after the third
year, and very few indeed after the
fourth. Peas and beans are very ten
acious of life. The lotus has been
known to grow after a hundred years,
but there is scarcely another instance OF
such survival of vitality.

Where John Cabot Probably Landed

Historians and scholars cannot agree
as to whether to Christopher Column
bus or to John Cabot belongs the honor
of the discovery of the American con-
tinent. Many believe and assert that
it belongs to the latter. The exhaustive
researches recently made by Prof.
Horsford would seem to show that
Cabot first landed, not, as has been
supposed, at some point on the coast of
Maine, but at Salem n eek, on the coast
of Massachusetts,, and, proceeding
southwark, entered what is now Bos-
ton Harbor, and thence up Charles
River, building fort on its banks. 1t
is probable, then, that John Cabot and
his crew were the first white men who
ever looked upon the pleasant shores
of what is now South Boston. That it
had been favorite spot with the In
dian tribes is attested by the discover
les made in digging for the foundations
of buildings in later years.-Bostop

About fifty miles above Astoria we
passed the far-famed Coffin Rock, the
indirect cause of the great Yakima war
of 1856. II is a huge granite stone in
the edge of the river, on the Washing
ton side, and was used from time i'm
memorial as q place of burial by the
Indians. 1t rises about two hundred
feet above the water, is several hun
bred feet in length, covered with q
dense forest of pines and fir trees at its
base, and on top is bare and broken
with immense assures. A single fir
tree stands on its point like solitary
sentinel above the resting place of the
Indian warrior. The Indians were ac-
customed years ago to bring their dead
here for interment. The corpse was
placed in the canoe used by the de-
parted in life. and at his side his bows
and arrows, his pipe and blankets, and
all he owned on earth, and then he was
laid away in some cleft of the rock.
Afterward the friends of the departed
would return to bring supplies of dried
salmon and other edibles which they
imagined the dead needed in the hunt
ing grounds of the Great Spirit. Finally
the sacrilegious pale-face, being in need
of canoes for mundane purposes, found
it more convenient to borrow those of
the dead braves than to make his own,
and acted accordingly, dumping the
bones of the departed chiefs into the
crevices of the rock, and wearing off
their blankets. This, of course, in
censed the read man, and finally brought
on the Yakima massacre and subsequent
war.--Letter TO San Francisco Chron-

A Russian Princess.

Karoline Bauer tells the story of the
Princess Natalie Kurakin. She was
an imposing and captivating beauty,
with the temper of fiend, and became
the most admired and feared woman at
the court of the Emperor Alexander.
Her husband idolized her, and, unfor-
tunately, allowed her complete con-
troll over himself. To indulge her
love for pleasure and luxury he went
beyond his means, and then sold one
estate after another. Once, when he
handed her a little packet of bank
notes he had won, as a sort of peace
offering, Natalie seized them and threw
them into the fire, to cure the General,
as she said, of club gaming and late
hours. Another night, when she was
adorned in full splendor for a court
ball, the General kept her waiting. At
last he came, greatly excited, with q
red face and flashing eyes. She sup
posed the excitement was caused by
wine and told him SO in vehement

And as she spoke she sHatched the
notes from his hands and threw them
into the flames. He shrieked in dis

When We Demoralizc the stomach

BY excuses or imprudence in eating, we cannot
hope to escape the consequences for any great
length OF time. The most robust digestion must
succumb to abuses Of that important function.
But supposing that we have been foolish enough
to enieeb1e the stomach, is the damage irrepar-
able? BY no means. The dyspeptic has only
TO do two things TO insure his ultimate recovery.
First, he should adopt easily digestible diet.
Second he should use with regularity and per-
sistence Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the lead
ing gastric invigorant OF the age. The multi
form symptoms OF dyspepsia, and the almost
inv. riably attendant disorders. biliousness and
constipation, will assuredly cease to prosecute
the sufferer il the above advice is attended to.
Who that has suffered the torments that chr onic
indigestion inflicts will neglect to take advan-
tage OF a remedy which, il the most positive ev-
idence OF the medical profession and the public
is to be received with due credence, is an abso-
Lutte specific for the complaint.

A BAsHFUL young man went three
times to ask a beautiful young lady il
he might be the partne~ of her joys and
sorrows and other household furniture,
but each time his heart failed him, and
he took the question away unpopped.
She saw the anguish of his soul and
had compassion on him. So the next
time he came she asked him if he
thought to bring a screw driver with
him. He blushed and wanted to know
what for. And she, in the fullness of
her heart, said she didn't know but
he'd want to screw up his courage before
he left. He took the hint.
