their travels they came across another
boy with gun but no dogs; so they
consolidated and went to the woods in
quest of squirrels. A squirrel was
tried, but il ran into hole. Charley
climbed the tree and run it out upon
a limb. His brother seeing it, seized
the gun from the hands of the other
boy and fired, and was startled an in
slant later by yells of pain from tie
boy in the tree. He managed to climb
down ard then it was learned that
about half of the load of shot had
taken effect in the calf of his left leg
and the wound bleeding dreadfully.
The other two boys secured a wagon
and brought him home. DR.. Craw-
ford examined the wound and decided
that the shot were buried TOO deep to
permit cutting them out.

Nine tenths of all troubles which require
the aid of Plasters are rheumatic In their
nature. change of weather, or sudden
draft causes a cold, which develops into
muscular and that into imhammatory rheu-
matism. And yet. there has never been
such thing as a distinctly rheumatic and
strengthening plaster, and hundreds have
died suddenly where rheumatism has at
tackei the heart, whose lives might haye
been saved had this plaster been applied
in season. They are constructed on purely
scientific principals and are purely vegeta-

Nero as an Orator.

Nero, the Roman Emperor, is per-
maps best known by his celebrated
performance on the Tyre during the
burning OF his capital, although this
legendary episode is not mentioned by
such historians as Tacitus. Nj. IIol-
IcauX, formerly Of the French School
Of Athens, who is making excavations
"a Ia Schliemann' in Bnotia for the
French Government, has found stone
IN the sanctuary OF Apollo Ptoios, or
the apollo of the Internal Regions" ."
which present the Roman tyrant in
another light. The stone has engraved
upon it what NJ. Holleaux calls "a gen
uino speech of Nero's," that is to say,
one which was not composed for him,
but uttered probably extempore when
giving liberty to the Greeks Nero
plumed himself, of course, on his
versatility, and believed that he was
an "all-round" genius, able TO COM
pose, to make speeches, to act and TO
sing. The discovery of M. Holleaux
may, perhaps, prove that the tyrant
was IA real artist in words, at least, for,
according to the learned excavator, the
fragments OF oratory found on the
stone were couched in strong, sonorous
and emphatic Greek. Paris Cor. Lon.

PeRlLS OF CIVILIZATION,


''oh HAY Its OWN Disadvantages,
The comforts of civilization are to
some degree cOunterbalaccd bV its
| perlIs. We can travel much further in
day than we formerly could; but the
train on which we travel may collide
with another train; and the steam boat
may blow up. We have better light and
heat than our fathers; but they stood
In no peril Of bursting pipes and cx-
pioding gasomctcrs. OR fathers
were content with tallow candle, but
were never afraid Of receiving a stroke
OF lightning from concealed electric
wire They burned maple logs, cut
from the forests with their own hands:
but stood in no peril Of being stined
with coal gas, or blown up by gas

Perhaps it is not too much to say
that every new invention brings its
own danger. When ann sthetics were
first discovered, the discovery was
hailed as an unmiXed blessing. But
now men have SO fallen into the habit
OF taking opiates and anodynes, that
the alcoholic curse is almost rivalcd
by the opium, morphine and cocoaine
habit. 1t is said that profanity has
largely increased since the invention
OF the telephone; and, considering tho
veXations attendant upon the use OF
this marvellous instrument, this is a
logical conclusion.
Every new invention now produces a
monopoly. The inventor frequently
dies in poverty, and wealthy syndic-
ate grows rich through his device by
overcharging the public for its use.
Horse railroads in cities are q pub
lie necessity; but through their fatal
comfort men, and especially women,
have largely lost the power OF self
locomotion. Street cars are, perhaps,
largely responsible for the large in
crease OF dyspeptics.
SO we might go through the entire
catalogue OF inventions. 1t would bo
