| the Belgian Royal Academy of Medicine on | antiseptic dressings suitable for military l purposes, said that the requisites to be kept l in mind were that any dressing to be used 1 on the field of battle must be simple, occupy ing but small space, inexpensive and capable of being used for all surgical necessities Dr. Bedoin believes that he has found substance l which combines in itself all these requisite qualities, 8 substance, too, which is well
 known, easily procurable and in constant use-being, in fact, no her than plotting or Altering paper. Before being used for surgi- cal purposes, 1t should be disinfected by heightened exposure to a heat of 120' Cent, and by immersion in an antiseptic solution and afterwards dried. Wounds are dressed by the application of seven or eight layers of | this paper, the whole being covered with
 gutta percha tissue, and bandage applied. The dressing weighs only about forty grammes so that each soldier can carry one. In the ambulance this dressing can be ap- | piled by the surgeon with any others that it 1 is thought we'll to employ.
 It appears that the idea of coin having a silver circumference and a gold center was | l spondent "Specie Basis" some time since. l The advantages which such coin might possess were stated by him as follows: GA one-dollar piece or two-dollar piece need be no larger than our present haif-dollar. The l one-dollar piece might contain 206 1-4 grains silver Zone half the amount in our present silver dollar) and an amount of gold anual to half that of our frasent cro1d dolEa 1 The two-dollar piece might contain the same amount of silver and three times the 1 amount of gold of the one-dollar piece. For | pocket use such coins would be much more convenient than our present silver dollars The principal objection made to our contin- ued coinage of silver dollars, viz.: that if 1 coined in sufficient quantity they might
 eventually crowd gold out of the country, would be wholly obviated. Certainly none
 of the proposed coins would be exported un- | til the value of silver bullion should so ap- | preciate that there would be no profit in ex- 1 porting them for recoinage abroad. Gold ] bullion couid as now, be exported whenever called for, although the balance of trade in
 our favor will probably continue to give US,
 as at present, imports of gold in excess Of our exports of that metal. The coinage of | such pieces would be rather more expensive 1 than that of our present dollars, but if their coinage should be found to be practicable l the advantages might much more than con- pensate. Such coins would be difficult to
 counterfeit. There would be kind of poetic l fitness in again intermarrying gold and silver as in their native quartz beds"

I like the liar yard graduate, do not know who discovered America. If you know, or think you know a man who does know, wish you would tell me. I would give some money to learn that much. am also away down in my spelling class, I cannot spell Shaikespear as Shakes pere himself spelled it. I wish you would tell me the proper way of spelling that great mans name. I do not know why there are SO many gray horses and no gray colts. I do not know whether the egg began with the hen or the hen started with the hen. I can't understand why we can't find the North Pole when we know right where it is. I don't know why matinee should come in the af ternoon. ! don't know why a man wears buttons on the tail of his coat. I can't see what earthly use an elephants tail is to him. I don't understand why the people in town are always wild to go to tha country and people in the country ars crazy to come to town. Why cont they change places at once and be done with it? I do wish It could somewhere hear of wise ni:4n who would devote q few hours of every century to teaching few simple things that everybody ought to know, and that every body, except myself seems to know, already.

The Explosive Force of Dynamite
 1From the Scientific American

The chronoscope of Capt. Noble showed that explosion is transmitted through trains of dynamite at the rate of 10000 to 24, GOO feet per second. At this rate the explosion of a cartridge 8 foot long must only occupy the 24, ,000th part of a second. A ton of dy- namite cartridges of the usual size, about seven eighthsef an inch in diameter laid end to end in line, would stretch mile, and the whole train could be exploded in the one fourth part of second by firing cartri ge at either of the ends If fredin the middle of the line, the explosion would be transmit ted both ways, and would occupy only the eighth part of a second.
 The facility with which dynamite can be fired in trains offers great advantages in many engineering operations, such where it is required to blow down arch wall. It is eno1gh to lay train of cartridges along the crown of the arch, or along the bottom of the wall, and explode one cartridge in the usual way with detonator. The whole train goes off instantly.
 The enormous velocity with which dynam- ite explodes explains tho great violence of it's action, and the tremendous local rupturing effects of even small quantities of it explod- ed in the open, and without being enclosed in Il case of any kind. The detonation of q cartridge in the 24,000th part of 8 second must produce an enormous instantaneous pres sure on the spot on which it explodes. For such sudden explosion the pressure of the atmosphere itself is sufficient tamping.

Dog Tray Among the Ph1i1st1nes.
 The following incident happening in this
 town was witnessed by young miss, who
 penned the following account for her friends
 in New Jersey:
 Did you ever see dog with tin kettle
 tied to his tail? I don't mean a little dog
 that should have no courage, and therefore to
 be pitied, but a big black dog, who onght to turn about and face bravely all the ills of life and fight valiantly for himself and friends.
 We'll, the other day someone quietly ad- justed tin pail, with some stones inside to bondage of 8 great, strong, black dog, and then encouraged him to start, just to see how it would be. He started and looking around gave glance st the terrible thing that was fol i lowing him. Down the street he came, | just as though he had forgotten something l and must get it right off He couldn't wait | a minute, didn't seem to take an interest in
 the entertaining objects by the way, and gave no evidence of hesitation. Seemed to 1 have only one aim in view, and th1s was to ! get to the end of the road if there was any. A cloud of dust followed him, the horses | were scared; the chickens flew screaming over the fences; women rushed to their doors; men stopped their work, and the l wicked boys, grinning with hats thrown in the air, yelled with delight
 On sped the canine Why such haste? No delicious bone loomed in the distance; no | flock of sheep on the hillside to worry; no l little dog to pitch into: cats to torture. Why such speed? Why forgetful of the peaceful joys of existence! Why this eyclon- | ic effort? No time for answer. But through the distant yellow cloud of dust came back one long, dismal and heart-rending Ri hi
