Structure of the Epidermi..

At recent meeting OF the Berlin
Physiological Society, Dr.. Blaschko
demonstrated by drawings and micro
scopic preparations the structure of the
epidermis. Starting with the assump-
ton that the final ending OF the nerves
OF feeling must be sought in the layer of
the epidermis and not in the CUTS. he
had studied the structure of the uppe,
skin at the boundary between epidermis
and cults. He distinguished the main
parts of direct feeling (the hairless

AssyeIAN TABLETS.
Valuable Testimony Gathered from the
Libraries of Antiquity.

LIoFArfcs u <Aht'f~'J'
1t is we'll known that the late Mr..
George Smith and others recently made
most extensive explorations and most
valuable discoveries in Assyria. Mr..
Smith unearthed whole royal libraries
from its mounds -libraries not consist
ing, like ours. Of volumes Of paper, but
of clay tablets, which, while the clay
was in soft state, had been written
upon with an iron pen, and then baked
hard in an oven. Among these curious
old volumes we find accounts of the
Creation, of the Deluge and of other
events of sacred history, tinctured, as
we should naturally expect them to be,
by the nature of the soil through which
they had filtered. so that they did not
correspond exactly with the Biblical
accounts, but yet corresponding SUI
ficiently to yield most remarkable
and most valuable confederation OF
their testimony. We take up the fifth
tablet, for instance. Here is a transa-
ton of seven lines Of this strange
volume from the library of King Assur-
banipal, from which the reader may
see that it Is kind of heather Genesis:
The moon He appointed to rule the night.
And to wander through the night until the dawn
Every month without fail, He made holy assem-
bly, days,
In the beginning OF tho month, at the rising OF
1t shot forth its horns to illuminate the heav
On the seventh day He appointed a holy day,
And to cease from all business He commanded
Our quotation is from the translation
of Mr.. II. Fox Talbot. Now, the date
of this tablet is about 700 B. c. But Mr..
Smith. Of whose eminence as an Assyri-
ologist it would be an impertinence to
speak. says: 1.-The present copies of the
Chaldean account of creation were
written during the reign Of Assurbani-
pal, b. c. 573 62S; but they appear to
be copies of much earlier accounts OF
Creation--works the date of the compo-
sition of which was probably nearer B.
c. 1000. The legends. however, ex-
listed earlier than this, and were in the
form of oral teaching" Thousands OF
years. therefore, before the Christian
era, it appears that the Sabbath was
known in Chaldca This is not the only
Assyrian discovery which bears on our
page. "In 1862" says Mr.. Smith in
his "Assyrian Discoveries page 12).
II discovered, among other things. a
curious religious calendar of the Assy-
rians in which every month is divided
into four weeks, and the seventh days,
or Sabbaths, are marked out as days on
which no work should be undertaken. "

FEEDING NEW CORN.
A Convenient and, Under Certain Condi

A Convenient and, Under Certain Condi-
tions, Advisable Practice.
In the great pork-producing States ii
is a common and convenient practice
to feed corn to hogs as it is drawn from
the field. The corn need not be husked
30 clean as when it is to be cribbed for
some months. and all the labor and ex-
pense of cribbing is saved. have fed
new corn in this way to my hogs.
especially those being fattened for mar
ket, quite largely for a score of years,
and have never been able to discover
the bad effects which some claim follow
from feeding the new corn. have had
no disease among my swine for nine
teen years, although at some time with
in eleven of tho years swine disease

and hogs on ad DIN ng farms have ''died

clover; and as the clover fails in the
fall and begin feeding corn, l use old
corn til the hogs have come to full
feeding Then l change gradually to
new corn and feed it altogether until
within ten days of marketing, when |
revert to old corn. At all times l am
particular to supply my hogs regularly
with salt, and continuously with ashes
and charcoal; but when feeding new
corn l am all the more particular about
these supplies, do not feed the new
corn until it has ripened almost enough
to allow of its being cribbed. Feeding
new corn is so convenient that | think
it an advisable practice, and, if the
feeding is iudiciously done, l believe it
to be perfectly safe. Another, and
often a very material gain derived from

loss from the dcpredations of rats and

when the crop has to be kept. Cor.

West.
have been asked about ladies' pros
pecting. have a lady friend who,
while on a summer trip on the noun
tains, found an outcropping of ore on
the surface and located claim which
sold for s., 1000. Mining for gold is a
fine art, for in a whole ton of earth
you will probably get no more than an
ounce of gold, and that in such minute
particles that one would need a micro
scope to find them. have another lady
friend who is a fine Judge of ores and
lives in a beautiful little cottage, with
her husband, near some large mines he
owns. There is also a lady in Gunni
son County who owns and works a large
mine and gives it her personal super
vision. She has her own home, where
she boards the miners and tends them
in sickness. My last year has been
very profitable in financial way, and
could have done nothing half so lu-
crative in any other business. Of course,
have bought my experience dearly,
but have spent a great deal of time in
studying the matter up. l own mines
in Eagle, Summit and Boulder coun-
ties, and to people who understand
mining districts they are three of the
best counties in Colorado for both sill
yer and gold. Then own one-fourth
of a claim of a group of twenty mines
called the Table Group, eleven of which
are developed. The deed stands
in my name and the mines are in
the hands of London and New
York firms. In these days when
all the professions are studied by
ladies, hotels and manufactures run by
them, and even a steamboat license OBJ
tanned by one of our sex, it seems to me
that mining is one of the easiest of all
these. The wealthest woman in Color

| her own money, and is now worth $1O,-
| 900, 900. She made her money on cat
tie. Ladies are too apathetic, and are
bound down by conventionalities, and
we are too often kept back by advice
| from the men of our families, who are
always egostical enough to think they
can make enough. The women of Chi
cago and New York deal in stocks, in
wheat, oil and consols, and why not in
mining stocks? -St LOUIS Globe Demo
