There is now reason 70 belfeve that the
ancient Egyptians knsw how 20 work
petroleum WeIlP, and that their embaIm-
ing process Wss based on some prepare
ton Of mineral oil. An abundance of
petroleum has recently been discovered in
the peninsula Of GImsheh, near the Red
sea. The nrst borings were made dis
lance Of four hundred feet from that his
toElc body Of water, and In one hundred
and Afty-six feet from the surface oil was
struck In such profusion that 100 barrels
Of petroleum Rushed out within twenty
four hours. According to Mr.. Daley,
9 Belgian engineer, who made q
scientific examination OF this new
oil region, there IL no doubt but there is as
much oil under the surface Of the ground
In Egypt as in any part of the world, bat
It is doubtful If It can come into compe-
tition with American or Russian oil, as 1t
IL mixed with salt water and other for
eign substances. It yields on analysis
from 20 to 25 peg cent. Of pure mineral oil.
The region where It is found is OF volcanic
structure. and has neither vegetation nor
fresh water. 1t is very remarkable that
oil and gas should have been buried for
so many thousand years IN the earth
without being known or utilized to any
great extent by mankind. The discovery
of petroleum has been an unmixed
blessing 70 mankind, for It has
furnished = cheap illumination for the
masses. It IL said TO have changed the
habits OF myriads of poor people. In the
absence Of any cheap artificial light, the
inhabitants Of Japan and China were wont
to retire shortly after shutdown, but since
the advent Of refined petroleum, or kero-
sene, the poor Asiatics can afford the
luxury of light for several hours, which
formerly they spent IN darkness. Oul
American petroleum still has the market
as against all the rest of the world, the
only real competitor being the Russian
mineral oil, but as q general thing our pc
troleum is the cheapest illuminant, as Il
can be refined at less cos
than the Russian Our oil
territory Is still enlsrging. Al
one oil field Is exhausted, new ones are
discovered quite as productive The oil
bearing strata is known to extend into
West Virginia and Ohio. Ia the matter
of gas wells, which are found in all oul
petroleum fields, We seem to have an ad
vantage over all the world. Coal is being
dispensed with for manufacturing ano
heating purposes in large sections o.
Pennsylvania and Ohio. The use Of
natural gas has cheapened very greatly
the manufacture Of iron and steel. 1t il
90 abundant that there is talk of forming
companies to convey 1t by pipes to New
Yolk. Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
great centers of population.-From Dem
orest's Monthly for August.

CANNIBALISM.

The Boston Herald calls attention
to the cases OF cannibalism in Hayti,
described by Sir Spencer st. John
in his book on the "Black Republic. "
Sir Spencer represented Great
Britain in the republic for twelve
years, and his book appeared in print
within the last year. According to
Sir Spencer's story, cannibalism is
practlced to q Vefy marked extent ia
Hayti. Noodooism prevails there,
and there are diabolical rites con
Lected with it which require the kill
ing and eating of child as sacri-
fee. These rites have developed an
abnormal appetite for human flesh,
and now it il nat al unaommon thing
to kill and eat children for food. 1t
is stated that very lately, in Hayti, a
well authenticated case has been re-
ported where negro woman killed
five of her children, and sold then
flesh for food iust az any butcher
would kill pigs and sell the pork.
1t is stated as fact that the killing
OF children for food is so general that
the white residents of Port au Prince
cannot be induced to use domestic
lard. They use only that which they
are confident has been imported.
Not long ago one of the Port au
Prince newspapers stated the facts
about the killing OF children for food,
but the government forced it to re-
tract what it had stated
No doubt there is very sad con
dition of affairs in IIayti where the
negroes appear to be going back to
barbarian instead of advancing to Il
higher civilization.

MAYS ENDURANCE.

A New York special says knife
thrust under the eye that James
Doyle received in fracas. at an ear
ly hour on Tuesday was, in opinion
of the doctors ofthe Governor hospit-
al, one OF the most desperate that
ever came to their notice. The knife
entered at the inner angle of the or
bit and penetrated the lachrymal
bone, passing downward, backward
and slightly inward, in all three and
a-quarter inches. The house surgeon
says that the blade must have enter
ell as lar as the messiah line, and,
gliding along the vomer bone, struck
the body of the sphenold bone, which
is very hard and turned the tip of the
blade. Before Doyle was brought to
the hospital one of his friends at
tempted to extract the knife, and in
doing so broke it off at the rivet. TO
remove the blade was very difficult.
DIR. BrendOn procured common file
and made small groove on both
sides of the blade, and, with an in
strument known as ;'lion" forceps,
began to pull. The doctor is a mus
cular young man, weighing nearly
two hundred pounds, and he had to
use his full strength, with both hands
on the forceps, to remove the knife
blade, while the night orderly firmly
held the patients head between his
hands with vise-like grip. Doyle
never WINGED during the terrible Or
deal, but bore his suiferings with ad-
mirablo bravery. The knife blade
was turned over to the police.

INDIFFERENCE.

The reply of the lady who, when
asked "Why is it that people lose
their interest in church. going nova
daysY' responded, Because they
have lost their principle" is great
deal more than a witty play upon
words. The loss of reverence for
God, for His Holy word, for
His sacred Sabbath, naturally leads
TO entire indifference TO ATTENDANCE
upon His sanctuary. And when a
person, unaccustomed to attend
church, begins to think seriously,
from any cause, of his relations to
Gpa, and his prospects for the eter-
nal world, it is as natural for him to
seek the Church as it is to seek the
physician when he is sick. Indiffer-
eRce to the Church and its privileges
means indifference to God, to divine
things, to the real and permanent
interests of their immortal natures.
The Church is an attractive place to
a soul alive to its needs and longing
to have them supplied.

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST ts, 1885.
DON'T KICK.


If You live in town or neighbor-
hood be a citizen, don't he a churl.
Dom forget that your business de-
ponds upon the business of your fel
low-citizens. Don't Judge the idea
that you can be perfectly indepen-
dent. Don't forget that the success
OF the community in which you live
depends upon the success of individ-
uals. One bad atom taints the next
one to it, and so ON through the
whole mass. Keep this in mind.
Don't be bad atom. When a thing
which promises good for your town
or neighborh0od cnmes up, don't sit
at home and read about or go out
and blow against it. Put your shout
ders to the wheel with the rest. Con-
tribute your mite, if it be only a
cheerful word, but give more if pos
sible. If you do not intend to help,
don't kick and predict a failure.
Don't be a kicker. Remember a
Kicker ia a mule. II you have no
hopeful advice to cheerfully give,
don't kick and attempt to discourage
others who have.

REFRAIN.

We know of no evil that is more
predominant among the men, espe-
eiaily the young men, OF the present
day, than the rude way of lightly
speaking of women's virtue and in
tegrity. A young man should very
seriously and studiously count the
cost-weigh well the consequences
before he assails the character of his
mothers sex. Ones own mother and
sisters are generally excepted, but it
must be considered that other women
may be the mother or sister of some
one else. There are few cases on
record where men have been known
to SANDER their own wives. Tar and
feathers would be all too comfortable
for such brutes. Employers run
risks in taking men of the above type
mentioned, into their employ. Their
integrity is sadly in want of reform.
Men have no more right to parallel
the gentle SEX by the few fast de-
graded women, they occasionally
meet than women have to measure
them by the same rod as the criminals
who are brought before our courts.
The chiet happiness of men depends
upon the sey trGm which they BY
divine direction are to choose help
meet-a better-half.

Ten years ago, when but s years of
age, Mrs. Henry Jameson, of Detroit,
swallowed tiny water snake. From
that date to the present she has been
in poor health. She was treated tor
dyspepsia up to a couple of months
ago, when a Detroit physician who
was consulted decided that something
more than dyspepsia was troubling
the young woman. His treatment was
in conformity with his suspicious,
and Friday Mrs. Jameson was reliev-
ed of green water snake about two
feet long and half an inch in dame
ter. Mrs Jameson says that for years
she has been forced to eat ravenous-
ly in order to satisfy the demands of
her strange boarder. She expert
enced constant gnawing in the
stomach, and while drinking water
the snake invariably rose to her
throat On several occasions she al
most chOked to death. While the
reptile was dying it would coil itself
up and then uncoil with great force,
causing the patient intense agony.
Mrs. jameson is severely Frustrated.

The amount of matter in solution
annually poured into the Cult of
Mexico by the Mississippi is estima-
ted at 15O,OOO,0OO tons, at which rate
one foot of land over the whole basin
would be remayed in 1000 years.
Similar calculations applied to the
st. Lawrence, La Plata, and the Am
AEON reach the result that 100 tons
per square mile are removed from
the American continent every year.
Again, it is calculated that not less
than one cubic mile of earth is de-
posted every year in the Atlantic
from America, Africa, Europe and
Asia.

''There is nothing in the world
that shows the Unborn tendency of
mankind to run in a rut more than
the architecture of the modern shirt"
So said a young man of iconoclastic
tendencies. "For forty years mems
vests have been buttoned almost up
to the chin, and the little bit of shirt
front that would be left exposed has
been covered by necktie. And yet
men go on wearing shirts with fronts
down to the Waste, starched and
ironed until they are as stiff as "a
boiler plate, and they pay every week
for getting two or three of these
things carefully polished. A man
might as well have the back of his
vest laandrsd every week"

James Cole, who lives near Hob
dy's, Pa, may thank his wife's knowl-
edge Of the habits of insects for re-
lief from what threatened to be Sc
rious affection. The other night Mr.
Cole was awakened from sleep by an
intense pain in his right ear, which
was caused by a beetle that was NOV
ing about in his head. Mrs, Cole,
remembering that insects are attract
ed by flame Of fire, held a candle
close to her husbands ear, and in
less than minute the beetle, which
was over an inch in length, emerged
and was killed. Among the qualif-
cations for an accomplished wife
hereafter should be some knowledge
of the characteristics of other kinds
of bugs besides those familiar with
indoors.

An exchange says: A paragraph
is going the rounds of the press say
ing that Japan has population of
370OO,O00, but has less than 10000
paupers. Wefrst saw this paragraph
il the New York Tribune, paper
which has much to say about the i'm
practicability of the prohibitionists
of the country, yet any intelligent
japanese would propably tell the Trib-
une that this scarcity Of paupers in
his land is unquestionable due very
largely to the strictly enforced prohi-
bition laws of Japan.

"A parslmoni0us man went to a
Boston drug store to have prescrip-

druggist, being afraid that he would
not get his moneys worth. The
druggist replied: IF l should give
you one-sixteenth Of a grain more

MEDICINE.

In my judgment there is no disease
durable or only mitigable, but medi-
cine can be adyantageously used; in
pulmonary affection, not merely to
mitigate cough, and allay fever, but
to promote absorption of deposits
that maintain disease. If one blow
even gently through a tube, a person,
applying his ear to the tube, may
hear the sound Of the morning air.
If the tube become filed with mud,
the sound ceases.
Just as evident in some cases is
the difference between Il portion of
lung tissue filled with a deposit and
the same piece OF lung tissue after
medicine has produced absorption
no more room for doubt in one case
than in the other.

SLEEP.

Sleep is the time of repair for the
brain, the transcendent organ. to
which all others are subservient, and
on the condition Of which our health
so much depends The sleeep re-
qulrcd varies with age, constitution
and the degree of soundness of the
sleep. From six to nine hours may
DO set down as covering the needs of
most persons beyond early infancy.
A great bar to soundness and re-
treshing quality of sleep is intellect
ual labor at night.
AS sleep depends on diminished
supply Of blood to the brain whatever
tends to withdraw it contributes to
sleep. Some can accomplish this by
brisk walk, some by cold sponge
bath followed by a brisk rubbing,
some by a warm bath, some by heat
ing feet and legs, and some by eating
before lying down. But this last is
safe only to one with vigorous diges-
ton.
Laying the pillow lengthwise on
the farther slope, with the forehead
inclined downward, promotes sleep,
so does placing the arm under the
neck where it will press on the iugu-
lar vein and carotid artery. Fixing
the thoughts on a single objects con-
tributes.

While in simple bronchitis it is
necessary to consult the weather be-
fore venturing out, in most eases Of
the various affections OF the lung
tissue, grouped under the name con
sumption, no regard need be had to
the weather, provided the patient
keeps dry and warm and it is re-
markable, as abundant observation
has demonstrated, what voting some
consumptlycs can incur without IN
Jury.
In chronfs:bro1hitls the tempera-
ture is generally low, the blood bluer
than normal in consumption the
temperature is high, the blood red
der than normal. But in either
bronchitis or consumption the feet
should be kept dry and warm, and in
the former especially, care should be
taken that drsught does not fall on
the back Of the meek.
The night air should be avoided by
botlr, the inferior quality of this, as
compared with that of day, being
well established.

DRINK.

1t is well to drink all the pure wa
ter that can be taken without OPP
pressing the stomach. Water emf
nently promotes those processes Of
change which are the very essence OF
life.
1t is necessary also to carrying of
the waste matter OF the system,
which, too long retained, becomes
pernicious. If the blood is not suf-
ficiently supplied with water, it will
draw the liquid from the tissue, and
then incapacitate organs from per-
forming their functions. For exam
pie, the Withdrawing of water from
the allmentary canal may cause dry
ness and constipation, to say nothing
of the lack Of water for digestive
juices.
But water performs a still more
important Office in ministering to nu-
triton. In order to nourish a tissue
the liquid portion of the blood con
tanning albumen in solution, must
pass through the walls of the capil-
larry blood vessels, and saturatc the
tissues, each tissue taking up the
material OF its structure.
The transudation of this material
depends on liquidity, and its facility
is proportional to liquidity. 1t has
often been remarked that well nour-
ished persons drank much water.
Pure water is pre-eminently the
best; when medicated water is re
quired let it be prepared for each in
dividual case.
