Temperature in Sun and Shade.
From the Hartford Times, February Is.
Sunday, the ID of February, was a
warm, bright, and beautiful day in
this region, for the middle of the last
calendar month OF Winter. Soon aft
er noon, when the temperature in
the shade was so degrees, a test was
made with another thermometer,
which was graded like q standard in
strument nearly, the difference being
but l degree, and which was placed in
a sheltered outdoor position fully ex-
posed to the full power of the sum. It
rapidly rose from 81 TO SO degrees,
showing q difference Of 81 degrees.
The hour selected, 12:45, was g little
less favorable for the solar side OF the
argument than the meridian hour
would have been, for thesun was tend
ing to become temporarily obscured
with the passing clouds and did not
blaze with the unimpeded intensity Of
the noon hour, but it was on the whole
q pretty fair test, and it was interest
ing as proving the actual difference Of:
the midday temperature in sun apd
shade here in Connecticut or 8 mild
day in the middle Of February. That
difference probably is greater than
many persons would have guessed.

English FOOtmen.

OF English footmen, Adam Badeau
says in the NewYork Sun: "The foot
men are usually great strapping
fellows, selected for their height and
the size of their calves. A TALL one
fetches more than a. short one, and
many ladies are particular that they
shall be good looking. In great
establishments there is one called
her ladyship's footman,' for especial
attendance on his mistress, and she
naturally likes him to be presentable.
The advertisements in the Times
always mention it if man is more
than six feet high, for every inch is
worth at least pound a year in his
wages. They make fine sight with
their breeches and their buckles, and
powder re6nes the face, as ladies very
well know. But they are an expensive
luxury. There is a tax of a pound g.
year on every man servant, and two
pounds if he is in powder. Some of
them are Obliged to wear wigs, for the
livery of certain noblemen requires it.

people into green wigs when they went

Stories About Hancock.

DR.. Louis w. Read, of Norristown,
thus relates the circumstances of Gen.
Hancock's recovery from his wounds
received at Gettysburg: II was medi-
cal director of the Pennsylvania re-
serves and just before the LIST OF Nov,
1868, came home on q "a hours
leave of absence. I called to see the
General, who was in bed at his fathers
residence. I found him very much
disheartened. He had grown thin and
looked pale and emaciated. He said
he felt as if he was going to die and
that he had been probed and tortured
to such an extent that death would
be O. relief. Iendeavored to cheer him
up, and as / was about bidding him
farewell he said: "Good-bye. doctor;
| may never seeyou again I had my
hand on the door knob of his chamber
when he said: See here, doctor, why
don't you try to get this ball out I
have had all the reputation in the
country at it, now let's have some Of
the practical He was lying in the
bed with his wounded limb acutely
fexed and all the probing had been
done with his leg bent at right angle.
The ball hit him just below the right
groin, within an inch of the femoral
artery, while he was sitting in his sad
die with his legs distended. / went
down to my Office for a probe with g.
concealed blade, and on my return DR..
Cooper and myself succeeded in
Strengthening the limb and placing it
as near as possible in the position it
was when the ball struck him. in
serted the probe and it dropped fully
eight inches into the channel and
struck the ball which was imbedded In
the sharp bone which you sit upon,
called the ischium. In q weeks time
the General was out on. crutches and
in two weeks more he attended g.

Hal forget the calibre of the bullet,
but it was a big Mimic ball. If it had
not fortunately been removed in
time large abscess would have been
formed and his failing strength would
not have enabled him to pull through. :"
Subsequently, at Gen. Hancock's
earnest solicitation, DR.. Read was
given q leave OF absence of several
weeks and returned to Norristown,
where he continued in attendance on
the distinguished patient as long as
his services were required.

How the Russian Keeps Warm

How the Russian Keeps Warm.
You feel nothing OF the cold in those
tightly built houses, where all the doors
and windows are double. and where
the rooms are kept warm by bigstoves
hidden in the walls. There is no
damp in q. Russian house, and the in
mates may dress indoors in the light
est gafbs, which contrast oddly with
the mass offurs and wraps which they
don when going out. A Russian can
afford to run no risk of exposure when
he leaves the house for a.walk or drive.
He covers his head and ears with q
fur bonnet, his feet and legs with felt
boots lined with wool or fur which are
drawn over the ordinary boots and
trousers, and reach up to the knees:
he next cloaks himself in a top coat
with q fur collar, lining and cuffs; he
buries his hands in q pair Of fngerless
gloves of seal or bear skin. Thus
equipped, and with the collar of his
coat raised all around SO that it
muff1es him up to the eyes, the Rus
sian exposes only his nose to the cold
air; and he takes care frequently to
give that organ little rub to keep the
circulation going. Londo Tit Bits.

Death of a German Farmer Who
Was Bitten by a Diseased

From the New York Mail and Express.
Recently beautiful young woman
of about "a years OF age was brought
before a class OF students at one Of the
medical colleges. Some months ago
the patient was living a few miles from
town with her husband, an energetic
young German farmer, with more spec
ulative spirit than money. Some one
offered him q horse apparently trou-
bled with distemper at a bargain, and
he, thinking to cure the beast, bought
it and gave it the greatest attention.
In some way the discharge which came
from the horses mouth was transmit
ted to the man and in a few days he
was taken i'll with the terrible and IA
tai disease known as CHAMBERS. His
body became covered with ulcers, his
bones decayed, and in few weeks he
died in fearful agony, but not before
he had transmitted the disease to his
wife.
The young woman has been affected
in q more moderate degree than her
husband, and, as the contagion in her
case was not taken directly from the
horse, the physicians HAYES some hopes
OF her ultimate recovery
The disease had, in the case before
the class, attacked the muscles con-
trolling the lower left eyelid in such
way that the lid was drawn away out
OF place, exposing the eyeball, and by
the constant irritation causing inhanl-
nation, accompanied by intense pain.
The Inflammation was so great that
at first the physicians thought they
would be obliged to remove the eye,s
but finally agreed to make an effort to
save it.
The patient displayed considerable
nervousness, but altogether bore up
very well under the trying ordeal OF
preparation. She was seated In the
operating chair and an an@sthetic adj
ministered. A V-shaped incision was
made through the skin, extending from
each corner of the eye to point an,
inch and half below. The interior
part of the v was cut from the flesh
beneath, but was left ATTACHED to the
upper portion of the eyelid, which as.
sumed its normal condition as soon
as the skin which had held it down
was loosened. A few stitches were TAX
en- in the wound, and the patients eye
is as serviceable as ever. The only
Disagreement is aslighJ scar where the
skin does not meet, owing to the con.
traction caused BY the lid resuming
its proper place.
