Trouble Among Braril.s slaves.

There is serious trouble In Brazil among
the slaves. Large numbers Of them, who
have been at work on the plantations,
have refused To obey their masters and
have attempted to run away. This up
rising among a cruelty used people has
greatly alarmed the planters, who have
called for police protection.
In the province Of San Paul0 the slaves
have taken to the woods and the soldiers
have found 1t impossible to capture them.
The brutality practiced upon the Brazilian
slaves is something terrible to think Of
According TO the accounts, those of the
rebellious slaves who were captured were
wounded with shot, beaten on<the bard
back with whips and hung up by the
thumbs. The slaves did no injury to
property, and contented themselves with
trying TO escape. There is strong anti
slavery feeling among the thinking people
in Rio Janeiro, and an effort is being made
to have the government emancipate these
people. The soldiers, it is said, are re-
luctant about hunting the slaves down,
and have in many instances helped them
to escape. According to the feeling now,
il will not he long before the government
Of Brazil will be compelled to emAncipate
the slaves. -Demorest's Monthly.

To Make It Rain at Pleasure.

The remarkable powers and adapt
ability os electric current to the uses OF
society have been further demonstrated by
an invention which has at least the charm
Of novelty. This is nothing more nor less
than a patent to open the windows OF
heaven at the will of man, and Michael
Cahill, NJ. d., OF this city, is the inventor.

is condenser Of peculiar shape and con-

by an electric cable Whenever the vesi-
cles come into contact with the condenser
or current, they are broken up and the
water forced to the ground with great
rapidity. The rain will be produced by
the same law that causes condensation on

The caddish husband, who, having married
an actress, is ashamed of her, is not nice
person in any relation Of life. II he has not
power to persuade her to give up her profess
sion, he will lead her a life Of misery by his
open and outspoken contempt Of the theatre.
He rather resents her popularity, because
none Of it is attributable TO him. and the pub
licity which he depreoatss is more often the
sole thing he envies, becaas. his vanity it was
that first prompted him e. marry her. 1t
was, in his eyes, at that time. a great triumph
to become the husband of An idolized genius.

reared, that he despised. or affected to de

A CannibaI Mansion.

There are two large posts in front,
eighty feet high, on which rests the
large peaked shade, around which
there hangs a graceful fringe OfyOung
sage feat. The front is about thirty
feet wide, and the whole length ofthe
house is one hundred and sixty feet,
tapering gradually down to the back,
where 1t Is small. One compartment
IS about twenty feet high and ten
feet broad. The front is a common
platform, hOOred with the outer skin
OF the sage palm, and kept beautiful
" clean. The whole is divided into
courts, with divisions of cOcOanut
leaves nine feet high, on which hang
various figures, not at all good look
ing. From the top to the cOcOanut
leaves hang graceful curtains Of the
young frOnd of the sagO palm.
Standing on the platform in front
and looking down the whole length
along the passage or hall, with the
various divisions and their curtains,
1T has a wonderful effect. In each of
the courts are numerous skulls of
men, women and children, crocOdiies
and bears, also many breasts of the
cassOWary. All are carved and many
painted The human skulls are of
those who have been killed and eaten.
The daintiest dish here is man, and
it is considered that only fools refuse
and despise it. In the last court
there are the same kinds of orna-
ments, and then ascreen with curious
ly formed things Of wood and native
cloth hanging on it; also, sibis (their
only clothmg), belts small bags and
other things belonging to those muir
dered, which have been presented to
the gods.

Our Tears.

Tears IN redundance may striking
" express. emotion, but that is
mental side, whichis but a small part
of their function, as we shall see. The
principaI element in the composition
Of tear is, as may be readily sup,
posed, water. The other elements
are salt, soda, phosphate of lime,
phosphate OfsOda and mucus. each in
small proportions. A dried tear seen
through d microscope of good aver
age power presents a peculiar appear
ance. The water, after evaporation,
leaves behind it the saline ingredients
which amalgamate and form them
selves into heightened cross lines. and
look like a number of minute fish
bones. The tears are secreted in what
are called the 'lachrymal glands"
situated over the eyeball and under
meath the lid The contents of these
glands are carried along and under
the inner surface of the eyelids by
means Of six Or seven very fine cham
nels, and are discharged q little
above the cartilage supporting the
lid. The discharge Of tears from the
lachrymal gland is not occasional
and accidental, as is commonly sup
posed, but continuous. 1t goes on
both day and night, though less
abundantly at night, through the
"cOndults," and spreads equally over
the surface Of the pupil, in virtue OF
the IncessanU movement Of the lid.
After serving its purpose, the flow is
carried away by two little drains,
situated in that corner OF each eye
nearest the nose, into which they run,
and called the "Iachrym8i points"
The usefulness Of this quiet flow OF
tears to both men and beasts is mani
fest. There is such an immense guam
titY of fine dust floating IN the air,
and constantly getting in the eyes,
that, but for it, they would soon be
come chOled. Very little is requisite
to keep the ball free, and when some
obnoxious substance, smoke, an in
sect theHke, thataf1ects the nerves,
does make its way in, an increased
flow is poured out to sweep it away.
