1t is said that Cherubini, when COM
mencing to compose used to excite his
musical enthusiasm by taking a pack of
cards and arranging them in the most
grotesque combinations. Suddenly he
would throw them laughingly aside and
whistling all sorts of tunes. 1t
was thus he composed his most charming
operas. Altogether, Cherubini was a
strange fellow, but in all his freaks he
had a certain method. Thus, every
article Of his toilet had a number and was
used Mt affixed moment.
On his death-bed he gave a proof OF
this popularity. He had asked for n
pocket handkerchief and, on being handed
one, opened it, and looked at the num-
Der and exclaimed; That's not the right
one; it is number eight, and l have not
yet used number seven" "True," replied
the attendant, "but a drop of eau de Co
logne had fallen on number seven, and
knowing your objection to strong
smells -Order must be kept" inter
rupted the composer. He got the hand
kerchief indicated, used it with an air Of
disgust, and said: "Now, l have used
number seven, you can give me number
eight."-Key Note.

INSTINCT AS A health GUIDE.
Professor Felix l. Oswnid's Tdeas-fiying
In the Face of the schools.

Professor Felix l. Os,~nId's Tdeas-fiying
In the Face Of the Schools
A curious article in the last number OF
The Popular Science Monthly is hat by
DIR. Felix l.. Oswald, treating of Instinct
AS a Guide to Health" What particular
theory OF medicine this physician pur-
sues we do not know, but ii is very plain,
from what he says, that he generally es-
teens natural instinct above drugs, and
believes the animal system, when not en-
tirely disorganized, may be relied upon
in the majority Of instances to free itself
from disorders. He makes the rather as
tonishing statement that the principle Of
medical reforms during the last 200 years
has been a restored trust in the compe-
tence OF our natural instincts. The sim
pile teachings of the senses, the protec-
tive intuitions. have anticipated and en-
forced hygienic reforms to the direct
overthrow OF ~so-called science approved
by the tradition Of ages.
This doctor who seems to be flying in
the face Of the schools, is OF the opinion
the natural man is provided with inclin-
atoms and diversions that inform him OF
good or warn him OF evil, but with few
exceptions, and those the results of
science, throughout his entire experience.
Intemperance of every description comes
of persistent d~isobedience to the com
mands Of instinct. As the appetite
Graves food, inviting ma TO eat, so does
the satisfied stomach admonish him
against excess. The normal palate alb
hors alcohol. and the baneful passion to
which that repugnance a be forced to
yield is 40 clearly abnormal that only
the ~infatuation, Of the natural depravity
dogma could ever mistake it for a
natural appetite.
In the same way instinct always OPP
poses the abuse of drugs, as it does the
delusions OF asceticism and suicidal
follies Of fashions. The overloaded
stomach rejects food; the exhausted sys-
tenn refuses other compensation than
sleep; tho fever patient pants for re-
frigeration; the lungs rebel against witt
ated atmosphere and insist on pure air;
the sick body repines for particular cor
Tections, just as the over-taxed brain
builds images Of the mountain, the rush.
ing stream, the verdant fields; but when
has instinct ever clamored for drugsY"
II is true, however, that instinct can
adapt itself to abnormal circumstances,
but II is her rather perverted than
obedient TO its true missions; and in the
use Of remedial drugs it is n fact that
instinct protests so persistently that
ninety-nine OF n hundred are introduced
into the stomach ~only by such puzzles
as lozenges and sugar-coated pills.

The traveller in that portion of the
Himalayas under British protection
journeys securely along roads which at
dizzy heights wind around perpendicular
p~recipices.
The English engineers who built these
roads found themselves face to face with
grander obstacles than any they had ever
attacked. Cliffs rising several thousand
feet from the river, almost as smooth as
a brick wall, had to be passed. The
services of the best cragsmen in the
mountains were secured. The boldest of
them, who could creep where a goat
would scarcely venture, bored holes at
intervals of fifteen feet, in which he
fixed strong iron bars. On these he hung
ropes and planks from which his fellows
could begin their work, while Suspended
thousands Of feet above the river.
When the bold cragsman came TO q
part of the cliff so smooth hat even he
could find no footing, he would scale the
precipice by going back and ascending
it at some point which afforded footing.
Fixing an iron bar in the rock as low
down from the top as he could, he would
be let down by a rope until he hung at
the level of the proposed road. Then
boring the rock, he would fix therein an
iron bar, and connect it by a rope-bridge
with the last point gained.
The active hill-men, careless OF dizzy
heights, would crawl on the bridge, bore
the cliff. and let in bars at the intermedi-
ate points. On these bars planks were
laid, ON which the coolies worked, who
built the Enthusiastically Companion.

Wheat growing in India is conducted
under the most primitive methods. At
first Americans laughed at the ryots, who
plowed with n crooked stick and used
oxen entirely in place OF horses, and even
Englishmen regarded them with more or
less disdain, but they have come at
length to be the most formidable com
petitors which the American farmer has.
The lands which they till are rich. The
natives live in bamboo huts, need only a
shirt for clothing, and their services may
be had for 9 cents a day the year round.
They do not work by improved methods,
but they produce grain, and British cap

with which to facilitate its shipment to

Every year great improvements are

monuments of a long-since persisted

So vast are some OF these great brick

sufficient TO build a wall more than
ninety miles long, twelve feet high,

There are two little Japanese boys,
about 8 years old, at the japanese
village in Madison Square garden, and
they afford a great deal Of amusement
for visitors, being very j%auntily dressed
and wearing wooden shoes. The other
day a little American miss Of about their
age was greatly struck by their appear
ance and followed them about wherever
they went. Her mother called TO her
several times, but she followed on with
infatuation, and when close to one Of the
little Japs she suddenly threw her arms
about his neck and ~endeavored to plant
an American kiss on his lips.
The horror-stricken mother nearly
tainted. A japanese relative was about
TO drag away the innocent victim, but
was spared the trouble as the innocent
little fellow stoutly resisted the kissing
and actually pushed the pretty girl away.
1t is doubtful which was the more ex-
asperating to the mother, the kissing at
tempt Of her child or the refusal Of the
Japanese boy TO submit TO It. Her vexa-
ton had TO give way to the laughter OF
those who witnessed the scene.-New

In one of the shops in the Indian vii
lage is 10 be seen a process of making a
fancy silk, which puzzled many people
when first seen in n Japanese Grape robe,
which was exhibited at a show Of eastern
e~mbroideries both last year and this. In
this case the ground is thin silk, on
which the design had been roughly
marked out with chalk, or something
which rubs out easily. The workman
very c~leverly pinches up in his long iex-
ible fingers tiny scraps of the silk and
ties them round one by n into a kno,
with a thin thread Of silk which has been
previously waXed.
When the whole pattern is thus tied
out the silk IL dyed, and, when dry. the
knots are united. The waxed thread has
prevented the color taking N the knotted
pieces Of the material, so that it presents
a design of small Enthusiastically shaped
stars or rose-shaped figures in lighter
tones than the ground.-The Queen.

An Important Discovery in G~oKraphy
just MAZDA stranve sivht.


Just Mads-A Strange sight.
At the close of the last session of the
British Scientific association the an.
nouncement wan made Of a new discovery,
in a communication to the Geographical
society by a Mr.. Thum, an inhabitant OF
British Guiana. Mr.. Thum is the first
TO climb the Royaima, q high mountain,
hitherto unexplo-ed by man. The ma
tives Of the country in vain tried to dis
suade the traveller from his attempt to
rend the mysterious veil which has OBJ
scured the accused solitude-accursed
for, according to them, the devil and his
satellites have chosen this for their abode
upon this earth. The declivities of Ro-
yaima had always seemed inaccessible.
Several travellers who had tried TO climb
them had returned, discouraged by the
difficulties that assailed them at every
step. The southern slope is absolutely
bare and so smooth that the sun is re-
fiected III it as a mirror, while the north
ern declivity is a perfect image OF chaos.
Enormous sections OF rock, piled one on
another, hang in the most unstable posi-
tons oyer fathomless abysses; on the
east and west sides are most impenetra-
BILE forests of stunted trees and bushy
vegetation, the shelter OF ferocious beasts
and venomous reptiles.
But nothing could chill the ardor OF
Mr.. Thum, and, almost unattended, he
set out, firmly determined to reach the
plateau which crowns the SUNNI Of the
mountain, around which hover clouds OF
birds so numerous as sometimes to OBJ
scure the light Of the sun. AT the end
of two long months, his skin bronzed by
the sun and his clothes hanging in tatters
ON his emaciated body, the intrepid Mr..
Thum reached the goal of his ambition
and stood upon the summit. What q
sight met his gael A strange vegeta-
ton, unknown to the rest of the world:
streams Of water, perfectly clear and
sparkling; flowers of the most brilliant
and vnried hues-in a word a vast ex-
panse Of beauty stretched out before
him as far as the eye could reach. and
he fell ON his knees and thanked God
for the privilege of being the first to en-
joy the most beautiful spectacle ever
given to human eyes TO contemplate.
Standing on the borders of a kind OF
lake, forming a basin surrounded by
rocks, and wondering where the outlet
was. he espied a little silvery stream
which disappeared amidst the howery
grass only to reappear farther on toward
the plains. The l~iveliest emotions filed
his breast, and as If inspired he cried
out, "The Amazon, the Amazonl" Mr..
Thum is convinced that it is the long
sought-for source of that magnificent
