Mr.. Coz, Of New York, entertained the
house with his views on tho bill which pro-
poses to give the bodies Of paupers to medi-
cal colleges for dissection Mr. Cox favored
the passage Of this bill, on the ground that it
was in the interest Of the living more than
in the interest Of the dead.
II favor it," said he, "because Of the
changes that take place in our mortal sphere.
The body which is mere shadow Of tho life
Is of little consequence, compared with that
life.
II am not insensiblc to the preservation Of
the form itself Who that II human could

the memory Of our dear and dead friends,
with their features in a dcathless picture,
and since we cannot have them in marble
and only in dust, let their health and safety
in life be our chief anxiety in legislation,
even as in our homes.
"Let us care for them in such mode by
law that they may bo long with US here, az
sured that they have 'life beyond life-an
immortality rather than life.'"
At this point Mr.. Taulbee, Of kentucky,
asked Mr.. Cox il he would be willing that
his own body should be given to medical col
leses and Mr.. Cox promptly replied, with a
twinkle in his eye:

Destructive School s1e hods.

The originality and native precocity o.
youth are often lost in the automatic drills
of the classroom. Incipient talent and
genius must die out in the mind of the
possessor from sheer lack of appreciation
and sympathy on the part of those to
whom the youth trustingly looks for aid
and encouragement. Perhaps it would be
regarded as eXtravagant to assert that the
end of long course of instruction leaves
nine-tenths of graduates wholly at the
mercy of the world which they have been
taught to believe themselves fitted to enter
and conquer. They may soon discover,
however, that the wide fields of expert
ence and knowledge are yet before them,
and that the inclination and disposition
for their further pursuit have been left
dull and apathetic by the scho-
lastic training received. Books and
literature are now distasteful to them.
They will be too happy to ignore the
classics; history has been studied too
much. Admit that their minds have been
filled with the elements of knowledge, that
their intellectual powers have been disci-
plined and strengthened till they are sinewy
and tough, how is it that the mind which
comes TO the tasks of life with training
and knowledge gained out of theschools, by
reading, private study and selfhelp, often
measures up to, nay, outstrips the college
bred mind. The question is easily an
swered: The methods of the school de-
stroy originality and versatility of mind
by anticipating and preventing tie very

How the self-BInder Paid Our Debt

The self-binder was first successfully at
tached to the reaper in 1876; from 1867 to
1876, inclusive, our average crop of wheat,
varying more with the season than with
the planted area, had been 25S, 900, 900
bushels. In 1877, when the self-binder
first began to be used, the crop mounted to
nearly 364,000,000 bushels. Again, in
1873, it mounted up, and from that date to
1887, inclusive, in which period the use of
the self-binder had become general, the
average Drop, varying more with the sea-
son than with the planted area, was
440.000,000 bushels. Could the crops OF
the last ten years have been saved without
the self-binder? When we consider that
the total number of self-binding reapers
now made and sold is more than 100000 a
year, requiring over 10000 tons of twine
to bind single wheat crop, do We not find
in the tying of that kind of knot on the
self-binding harvester main factor in the
export of grain with the returning import
of gold on which we resumed specie pay
ment ? BY that single Improvement the
cost of wheat was reduced not less than six
per cent, and in some places ten per cent

\ careful analysis and estimate made by
a New York chemist of the constituents of
a ton of coal presents some interesting
facts, not familiar, certainly, to unscientifc
minds 1t is found that, besides gas, a ton
of ordinary gas coal will yield 800 pounds
of coke, twenty gallons of ammonia water
and l40 pounds of coal tar. Distillation of
this amount of coal tar gives about seventy
pounds of pitch, seventeen pounds of creo-
sote, fourteen pounds of heavy oils, about
nine and a halfpoundso naphtha yellow, six
and one-third pounds OF naphthaline, four
and three-fourths pounds of naphthol, two
and fourth pounds of alizarine, two and
a fourth pounds of solvent naphtha, one and
a fifth pounds of analine, seventy-nine
hundredths of pound of toludine, forty
six hundredths of pound of anthracine

One of these quacks, at the time in i'm

the great Abernethy for some personal all

success in attracting clients, the surgeon
asked him if he knew why he had so many
more patients than regular physician.
D.awing Abernethy to the window, he
pointed TO the surging crowd on the street
below, and asked "Doctor, of every
hundred persons who pass this window,
how many do you suppose are educated
people, capable of approaching study and
cultivation in others ?"

A Remedy For piphtheria.

Lime water is an admirable remedy in
cases of diphtheria. Its local effect is more
useful in cleansing and purifying the fauces,
and its mode of application is the easiest
imaginable. 1t requires no spray appara-
tus, no douching and no effort at gargling.
1t is sufficient to have the patient slowly
swallow teaspoonful or more every hour,
in order to get good results from its use.
This fact is of the greatest Importance in
treating children, who are too often cruelty
tortured in the attempt to make local ap-
plications to the throat Lime water can
be given easily, and is taken readily by
children; and there are, we believe, few
eases of diphtheria which require more
energetic local treatment than the one lust
described. In fact, we think that an early
clearing out of the bowels, with calomel
sometimes in massive doses, followed up
after a short interval by the administra-
tion of the lime water and the use of a
suitable tonic and roborant regimen, con-
stitutes method which comes the nearest
to being of universal applicability of any
one with which we are familiar; and we
think that the use of the lime water is of
more consequence than any other part OF
the treatment, except it by the prelimi-
nary purgation.-Medical and Surgical Re

The Curious Advertisement of Wealthy
Pavarian for a Wife.


The following has been extracted from a
Munich journal:
"MATRIsioNTAL-I am the hereditary
possessor Of domain and newlY-built
castle, situated in a beautiful part of the
BaVaTian forests. The castle, which has
many fine apartments, is surrounded with
mountains, lovely meadows and fields,
through which rivulets wind, woods for the
hunt and streams for angling. 1t stands
in a charming valley, wherein the town OF
Cham, with its many old towers, castles of
ancient knights, and ruins of the remotest
ages, inspire the soul with poetical feelings.
"But however delightful the spot may
be to those who Judge of rural life by the
fables of Virgil, Horace and Delille, think
il very melancholy to behold none but my
self in my fine rooms, and to see none but
my own person reflected in my looking
glass. | have, therefore, resolved to
marry, like other simpletons, and since it
is affirmed that marriages are made in
heaven, and are but lottery, to see what
heaven may have in store for me, and
what fair creature the wheel of fortune
may allot me. With this in view, ] sub
NIT my views to all young ladies through
the medium of the newspaper.
"The one | wish to marry must be be-
tween Is and 20 years of age; she must
have fine hair, fine teeth and beautiful lit
good parents. She must dress elegantly,
but plainly, in either silk or velvet, but no
other materials. She shall be allowed
music only if she be perfect in that art, it
being tiresome to listen to the bad per-
formers who annoy visitors in SO many
houses. She shah be mistress of the house
in all domestic matters and | myself shall
be happy to yield to her reasonable whims
being a great enemy to siayish obedience
and submission, whence, in my opinion, all
quarrels and discomfort derive their origin
but she must accompany me in all my
Journeys and excursions, because it is, in
my opinion, a shame that man should &c
about day and night, living in splendor al
