Peculiarities of Lichens.

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives; there is good ground
for believing that they endure as long as
100 years. An authority states that some
plants have been found by actual observa-
ton to endure As years. Their growth is
exceedingly slow, indicating that only a
little nourishment serves to keep them
alive. In a dry time they have power Of
suspending growth altogether, renewing
it again at the fall of rain. In time of
rain they change their color, becoming
greener Another interesting fact about
lichens is that they grow only where the
air is free from smoke or dust. They are
never found growing in the neighborhood
of towns, where the atmosphere is i'm
pregnated with SCOT and smoke. Thus
these plants afford an indication of the
purity of the air.-Forest and Stream.

WHY YOUR HEAD ACHES.

What . Family Doctor Writes for q Fam.
fly Magaxine-What to Avoid.
Probably one Of the most common head.
aches, If not the most common, Is that
called nervous. The class Of people who
are most subject to it are certainly not
your outdoor workers. II ever my old
friend the gardener had had q headache,
1t would not have been one of this descrip-
ton. Nor does Darby, the plowman, nor
Jarvey, the bus man, nor Greatfoot, the
gauger, suffer from nervous headache,
nor any one else who leads an outdoor
life, or who takes plenty of exercise in the
open air. But poor Matte, who slaves
away her days in a stuffy Diapers shop,
and JEANNE in her lonesome attic, bend
ing over her white seam-stitch, stitch,
stitch-till far into the night, and thou
sands of others of the indoor working
class are martyrs to this form of head
ache. Are they alone in their misery
No; for my Lady Bonhomme, who comes
to have her ball dress fitted on, has often
fellow feeling with JEANNE and Matte.
She, however, we cannot afford to pity
quite so much, because she has the power
to change her modus vivendi whenever
she chooses.
What are the symptoms of this COM
plant that makes your head ache sof You
will almost know it is coming from q
dull, perhaps sleepy, feeling. You have
no heart and little hope, and you are rest
less at night. Still more restless, though,
when it comes on in full force, and then
for nights, perhaps, however much you
may wish to, you can scarcely sleep at all.
"How my poor head does acher' This
you will say often enough; sadly to your
self, and hopelessly to those near you,
from whom you expect no sympathy and
get none. And yet the pain is bad to
bear, although it is generally confined to
only one part of the head.
The worst of this form of headache lies
in the fact that it is periodic. Well, as it
arises from unnatural habits of life or Pc
culiarities of constitution, this periodicity
Is no more than we might expect.
II I just note down some of the most
ordinary causes of nervous headache, peo-
pie who suffer therefrom will know what
to do and what to avoid. I will then
speak of the treatment.
Overwork indoors.
Overstudy.
Work Or study indoors, carried on in an
unnatural or cramped position Of body.
Literary men and women ought to do most
down now and then on sofa to ease brain
and heart and permit ideas to flow. They
should work out of doors in fine weather
with their feet resting on a board, not
on the cartn-ard under canvas in wet
weather. 1t is surprising the good this
simple advice, if followed, can effect.
Neglect Of the ordinary rules that con-
duce to health.
Want Of fresh air in bedrooms.
Want of abundant skin exciting exer-
else.
Neglect Of the bath.
Over indulgence in food, especially of a
stimulating character.
Weakness or. debility of body, however
produced. This can only be remedied by
proper nutriment.
Nervousness, however induced.
2 The excitement inseparable from q
fashionable life.
Exciting passion, anger and jealousy in
particular.

NATIONS AS TAKERS.
LEADING CONVERSATIONAL CHARAC-
TERISTIcS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

The English Peasants Gift for Empty
Meditation - Irish and Scotch - The
Chattering Nations Of Europe-Biling-
ual Races-The Jew-TeutOnic Peoples.
The Scot, even if he will not converse,
will usually argue, and the Londoner will
tell anecdotes; but the English peasant is,
as rule, person with gift for empty
meditation. The Irish peasant, on the
other hand, talks readily and pleasantly,
in short sentences usually full of express
sion; so does the Italian, who knows less
than the Englishman; and 30 does the
Bengalee, who knows hardly more than
the animals around him. The latter, in
deed, talks frequently and with anima-
ton, though almost always on a single
subject-money. 1t has been said by one
who wrote after years of observation,
that if two Bengalees talk for five minutes
the word paisa pence) will always be
heard; but talk they do, with remark,
answer, rejoinder and repartee. What is
the cause of that difference
Professor Mahaffy suggests an answer
which seems to us to SAVIOR of artificial
profundity, and therefore to be very I'M
like Professor Mahaffy, who usually says
his true thought, even if it is little out
of place: 81 fancy the causes of these So
cial differences are rather recent than
primeval; they do not depend directly
upon climate or atmosphere, and if may
quote the opinion of wise friend on this
large question, I should say that one chief
cause of the talking or social ability of
some peasantries over others, is the fact
that their proximate ancestors were q
bilingual people. Thus the great major
ity of west Irish and north Scotch peas
ants are descended from grandfathers
whose talk oscillated between Celtic and
English, and who were, therefore, con-
stantly educated in intelligence by the
problem of translating ideas from one
language into another, not to mention the
distinct Inheritance of the special ideas
peculiar to each and every language.
This is an education in expression, In
thinking, and therefore in conversation,
wholly foreign to the English midland
boor, who has never heard more than 200
or 300 words of q very rude provincial
dialect of English, and therefore COM
mands neither the words nor the ideas Of
the outlying provinces"
A theory of that kind should explain the
facts, and this does not explain them. II
it were true, the women would be as 81
lent as the men, having even less OF Gull
ture, but they are not. On the contrary,
the wives Of those silent rural folk can
often chat agreeably, and give and take In
conversation. They do not only narrate
| they discuss and are capable even Of
rough badinage. which helps the argument

Celluloid sheathing for Ships.

Among the various uses Of celluloid it
would appear to be a suitable sheathing
for ships in place Of copper. A French COM
pany now undertakes to supply the sub
stance for this at nine francs per surface
meter and per millimeter of thickness. In
experiments by M. Butaine, plates of Gel
iuloil applied to various vessels in jan
nary last were removed five or six months
after, and found quite intact and free
from marine vegetation, which was
abundant on parts uncovered. The color
Of the substance IS indestructible; the
thickness may be reduced to 0.0003 meter;
aud the qualities of elasticity, solidity, i'm
pcrneability, resistance to chemical ac-
lion, etc., are all in favor of the use Of
cel!uloid. -Annales Industrielles.

THENATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
CONYENTION

Assembled Ia the city Of st..
Louis at noon on Tuesday, and
proceeded to a temporary organi-
Eation by the election of the
Hon. Stephen NJ. White Of Cahfor-
mia, as tempornrv ehairman. Gov.
whites speech On thkiug Ike chair
was a brilliant effort, full Of hope,
enthusiasm and sound political ad-
vice.
The Convention took a,recess at
4 O'Clock Tuesday evening until
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
During the recess the various
committees were in session, and
some lively scenes ensued. The
contest between Senator German
and Editor WattersOn for the chair
manship Of the committee on res
olutlons was closely contested, the
vote standing % for Watterson, 20
for German. The German faction
wanted a reiteration Of the plat
form Of 1884 on the tariff and the
other declared for q square issue
with the Republicans on the basis
of President Cleveland's message
OF Dec. 9th, 1887. The tariff re-
formers wen in the committee, bnt
the majority is too meagre to justl-
fy the conclusion that no eOnces-
siOns will be made.
On the re-assembling of the con-
ventiOn on Wednesday morning
the committee on credentials re-
ported and a permanent organiza-
tion was effected by the election Of
the Hon, P. A. Collins Of Massachu-
setts, as Chairman, who delivered
an ablo and eloquent address deiin-
ing the position Of the Democratic
party on the questions at issue in the
pending canvass, urging harmony,
and predicting a glorious triumph
tor the ticket in the November
election.
The platform having been read
and adopted, the Hon. Daniel
Dougherty, Of New York, then
placed in nomination for Presi-
dent Of the United States, the
name Of Grover Cleveland, who
amid the widest excitement, was
declared the chOiee of the National
Democracy BY acelamation, after
which the convention adjourned
until niue o'clock this morning.
There is scarcely a doubt that
Judge Allen G. Thurman Of Ohio,
will be nominated for Vice Presi-
dent with q unanimity unparalleled
in the politics Of this country, but
no action had been taken BY the
convention regarding the second
place on the ticket when this paper
went TO press. Cleveland and
Thurman would make 8 ticket
which any Democrat in America
could support enthusiastically, and
such q ticket nominated on 3 tariff
reform platform is bound to win by
an overwhelming majority.
