How to Take Care of a Carriage.

Comparatively few persons understand how to treat carriage. A finely var nished carriage requires as much or even more care for it's preservation than a piece of fine furniture in the house. It should never be put away to stand in a dirty condition. In cleaning a carriage avoid rubbing, but wash off the dirt by a stream thrown from a hose or syringe wherever it is practicable. Where mud has dried on saturate a sponge and squeeze it over the spots until it has softened and run off. On the wheels and running gear soft mop may be used, but always avoid the use of anything that will cause the grit in the mud to act like sand paper on the varnish. think there is nothing in which the effects of neglect or carelessness will show sooner than in the care that is taken of a nice carriage In washing a carriage keep it out of the sun, and don't allow the water to dry off itself and leave stains on the varnish, but carefully absorb it with some soft substance. An old silk hand kerchief is excellent for the nicely pol shed work. Nuts and bolts should be frequently examined and not be allowed to work loose. and all the bearings should be sufficiently but not profusely fabricated

Relations of the Senses,

Dr. Urbanschitsch, of Vienna, has for some time past been engaged in a series of experiments on the mutual action of the sense organs, and the results he has obtained are most curious. The senses of sight and hearing were shown by these experiments to be to some extent de- pendent on each other. Colored plates were placed at distance where the col ors could scarcely be distinguished but on the production of various sounds the colors were more readily recognized, the colors becoming the more distinct the higher the pitch of the same. Printed matter could also be read in dimly lighted room much better if the ears were simultaneously employed in receiv. ing sounds than in complete silence. h like manner the activity of the eyes aid In the recognition of sounds. The tick Ing of watch was found to be more easily heard in the light with the eyes open than in the dark with the eyes closed.
 Various colors of light were found td vary in their effects upon the auditory organs. red and green strengthening and blue and green weakening them. In the case of taste and smell corresponding effects were observed. Light ill general, and particularly red and green, heightens their sensitiveness, while blue and vel low, and still moro darkness, reduce it. If a person is exposed to red or green light he can taste, not merely with the anterior edges of the tongue, but with its whole surface. There is a curious reciprocal action between the sense of touch and the heat sense, which. though they have not distinct organs, are cer- tainly not identical. If the skin is tickled with a hair and the hand is then plunged into hot water the sensation ceases If. on the other hand, any. part of the body is tickled, and the hand or foot is thrust into cold water, the chilly feeling is intensified Herald.

Community was aroused and turned out en nasse to find the missing child. They failed to find her.
 One dark night, about one year after this strange disappearance, lone negro fisherman landed at the bluff, near where the boulevard bridge now stands, and gathering up his oars, oarlocks and the few fish he had been fortunate enough to catch, proceeded on his way home. It being considerably nearer for him to ''cut' through these woods, he did so and had to pass directly by the pond in question. As he picked his way care fully through the underbrush, his keen sighted eyes peering eagerly through the darkness, a strange sound met his ears. It was the voice of a child, singing some weird and discordant notes of a well known plantation air. The fisherman paused and listened. It seemed as if the source of the song was drawing nearer. At last, almost paralyzed with fear, the old negro called out:
 Who's there:"
 The song suddenly ceased and an an swering voice was heard:
 "The spirit of Myrtle pond."
 So weird and unearthly was the an- swer that the old negro turned and ran in the direction from which he came, while the ghostly music was resumed.
 The fisherman reached his cottage by more roundabout way that night, and his family, in their humble cot, listened to his recital of the thrilling experience he had passed through. The story spread until it was general talk among the su- perstitious negroes, and not one dared approach the pond. Atlanta Constitu- i tior

Catastrophe In Two Scenes.
A HAUNTED SPOT.

The Mysterious Spirit of Myrtle Pond in
 GeOrZia-The Story.
 There is q lonely and sequestered spot in the woods around Brunswick, where no negro man, woman or child will dare be found.
 In what is generally known as Fulton's pasture, near Dixville and facing the boulevard, is pond of stagnant water, the surroundings of which are all sug- gestive of quiet and solitude. The sur face of the pond is dotted with small clunps of sand, upon which a myrtle bush grows. The pond itself is about 5G0 yards in circumference, with all aver age depth of one and a half feet.
 It is said that no negro will go near this pond at any hour of the day, and investigation has proven this statement to be true. Upon questioning one of these prejudiced darkies, reporter learned the following cause tor stunning it by the colored people.
 Way back yonder in the early part of the year 1869, a young negro girl was sent by her mother to gather wood in the neighborhood of the pond and she never returned. Search was made for her, but nothing was found except her wide brimmed hat, which was found floating on the stagnant water. The

A Com fortable Hammock.

Each season appear directions for making hammocks for the use of those who are removed from towns where these luxuries may be purchased at com paratively small cost. The barrel stave hammock figures conspicuously among these home made contrivances Various methods of securing the slaves suggest themselves, but the one shown in the cut appears to be as simple and effective us any.
 The material used includes a number of barrel slaves and some rope. The lat ter should be about one-half inch in di- ameter. It should be doubled and loosely twisted; then a second doubling without twisting leaves it in condition for tho in troduction of the slaves. These are taken from ordinary flour barrels. Two such barrels furnish material for a good sized hammock
 Near each end of each one of the slaves hole about one-quarter inch in diameter is bored. The ends of the slaves are then inserted in the lays of rope, be- tween the two pieces of each side. The object of the loose twisting is to provide places for the introduction of the ends of the slaves Care must be taken to have enough twists to receive all the slaves. and not to have the twisting too tight If preferred, the ropes may be twisted IS the slaves are introduced.
 To prevent the slaves from slipping out, each one is tied in place. A short piece of string is wound on each end of the slave around both ropes, passing through the hole already mentioned, and is then tied. The ends of the suspension ropes are now secured and tied or spliced into loops. and the hammock is com pete. When such a hammock is sup

Yellow Shoes.

Dr. Weyl also described the case of a young man in Munich who had been poisoned by the yellow dyeing matter used in coloring russet shoes. After wearing these shoes for one week the young mans feet were covered with small yellow blisters, which, in the mid dle of the second week. began to spread to his ankles. Ills doctor had him give up the shoes and cured the eruptions in ten days. The yellow leather was subse- quently examined at the Munich Hygi- chic institute, and was found to be satu- rated with a dangerous yellow die. Dr.. Weyrs advice to his colleagues was: Don't wear russet shoes. Chicago Tribune

A Remarkable Dream.

Belief in dreams has received new ad- herents in Lincoln county. Me-. owing to some strange circumstances attend ing the finding of the body of Elbridge Call The account is given by The Bath Times as follows: For three or four days three or four hundred people had been diligently securing the woods and exam ming the ponds in the vicinity when brother-in-law of the missing man in whose care Calls motherless child had been left. dreamed that he had found the body of Call drowned under a bridge. After telling his wife and others of his dream he started to follow down q creek not far from his far2l, over which his dream had located bridge Upon arriving in Dresden he sought hia intimate friend and brother-in-law, MT. Bowman Myers, and they both made their way to the little stream from directly contrary direction from Call's home, and under the old country road stone bridge, so old that old people say that it was built before their time, they found the body.
