as he drills, blasts and wheels. He is al
ways a Methodist, and ever devout In
stances of his exalted heroism in the face of
certain death would fill book. He is
hereditarily hero. His religion, does not
as with some folk, diminish his bravery.
His eight hours ''shift" are hours of tre
mendous labor But trifing "touch-pipe''
or cessation is taken, when his "croust'' or
lunch is eaten and just ''titch" or touch
at his pipe is enjoyed. When the shift
changes, he is away with song and good
cheer; goes "to grass" lively as q lad;
changes his clothing in the dryroom; washes
from head to foot; and catches for hoame"
with hundreds more, pouring from the ugly
hole in the ground like bevy of ants
from their hills, as fast as his stout
legs can carry him. Then come his
home labor and diversions. He tolls in
his garden until dark; plays whist or at
draughts at some easy-going neighbor's
awhile; attends 'penny-reading" at times;
yarns it at the public house which he visits
sparingly; and never misses ''prayer meet
ing" where in his never failing religious &C.
stacy he makes the rafters tremble from his
fervid, pointed and personal invocations,
frequently pounding the oaken benches to
splinters with his sledge-hammer like fists.
Altogether he is brave, good. generous
fellow, handsome at times as a lord; her
culean and given TO pride in his strength at
wrestling and hurling; sincere, earnest,
grave and CHEEKY by turns; the soul Of in
tegrity and fidelity, and without mean
thought or thing in him from the sole of his
hob-nailed shoes to the crown of his "billy-
cooked" hat. EDGAR L. WAKEMAN.

MARoERy GAY.

Oh! Margery Gay was clever lass,
And many the Tooers who came;
Though time in her presence did gaily pass,
She answered them ever the same:

When that comes along, its Yes" shall
say.
Then you can all scatter and 60 where you

While I'll be lady and live at my ease;
And Margery Gay, with her coQuettish way,
Like a cat with a mouse with her lovers did
play.
At last came sutton with wealth to give,
But ali! he was ugly and old;
Could Margery Gay, with life to live,
Her happiness barter for golds
/ know what I'm doing, said Margery Gay;
I'll be rich widow ere many a day:
Then handsome and clever, and gallant and
all,
The incest young fellows will come at my
call;
And Margery Gay appointed the day
And married the fortune without delay.
Alas! for the scheming Of Margery Gay!
While he came OF a long-lived race,
His riches took wings and went flying away
Till there scarcely was left q trace.
And Margery Gay, with her humbled pride,
Had an ugly old man who was poor beside;
And many time in her secret heart
She wished she had acted q wiser part.
But it served her right, and wish to say,

Salt will kill weeds to a certain extent, and

1t Never Fails.

They had been friends and neighbors
for fifteen years, but in an evil hour
one of them put a telephone into the
house and insisted that the other fam
lily should make use Of it whenever
occasion required. 1t was the old, old
story. After about month there was
a GOODNESS, and two weeks later even
the respective servant girls made up
faces at each other over the back fence.
Then the new minister called at one of
the houses, and as he was about to
depart after his visit he inquired:

family live next door9o

were met and annihilated, and on
the strength ofthis he has imprudent-
ly put on many airs at home and
abroad. But when all danger of
punishment was past and the truth
about the battle came out, it trans
pired that Sitting Bull was
not the leader at all, but simply a
medicine man." who was in therear,
far from the post of danger. Sitting
Bull was born in 1887, and was one
of the principal chiefs OF the Dakota
Sioux. After the Custer massacre, he
escaped to British America, where he
remained for some years. In 1886
he was allowed to return, and though
he has been we'll treated, he remains
intractable. In July and August of
last year. in the conference at Stand
ing Rock, he influenced the Indians
to refuse to sign the treaty for arelin-
quishment Of their title to portion
of their great reservation and this
year he assumed the same attitude,
but happily better counsels prevailed
after the loss of his influence. and
while the treaty is now ratified, Sit
ting Bull himself is likely to be ex-
PEELED from his tribe ifhe should hap
pen to escape with his life.

Has Had Its Day.

Notwithstanding some sea tered cases,
which seem to demonstrate the success
of the SO -called elixir of life-which
cases may indicate the influence that a
keen love of life anda strongly hopeful
and imaginative mind can exert upon
the nervous systematic craze is evil
IDENTIFY approaching a close.
The Report, when the Brown-Sequard
discovery was first announced.
classed it with the blue-glass fad, and
the method of restoring a decaying
spinal cord by stretching it. Notwith-
standing the very evident fact that no
stretching of the spinal cord could be
done without a previous dislocation of
the vertebra, thousands of unfortunate
people grasped at the hope that by be-
ing suspended by the neck, the progress
of that dreadful disease loconaotor
atGria could be checked. The Brown
Sequard injection followed rapidly up
on the dissipation of the hopes aroused
by DR.. Chacot's suspensory apparatus;
and when, in the course of a few weeks,
the injection shall be found useless,
some other plausible piece of nonsense
will be brought to the front and have
its day. Human nature always has
run after the wonderful and delighted
in the mysterious; and, until some
elixir shall be invented which i'm parts
common sense to the patient, quacking
will have its brief but profitable
triumphs.
Usually these crazes do not do any
permanent harm. The blue glass is
ornamental if not useful, and the sus-
pensory apparatus breaks no necks if
1t stretches no spinal cords. But we
fear that the Brown-Sequard process
will result in the wider use of that
already too widely used instrument of
ruin and death, the hypodermic syringe.
When doctors say that the Brown
Sequard injection produces no better
effects than one of cocaine and brandy
for example, are not many persons
likely to be tempted to test the effect
OF cocaine, morphine, etc, not know
ing that a test or two transforms a
freeman into slave, that the morphine

he has it. and that once formed it is

eccentricity. A soldier who had been
wounded in the head fell into a long
stupefaction until he was restored to
speech by an operation in the hospital.
But when he did speak it was in an
unknown tongue, which none about
him could understand. By and by a
Welsh woman was brought into the
hospital and she at once recognized
the language of the sick soldier as her
own tongue. He had not been in
Wales for thirty years, yet he now
spoke his long-forgotten language
fuently, and could in fact not recollect
any other. And, strange to say, when
completely recovered the English came
back to him ana the Welsh was once
more forgotten.
Even at the very entrance of the
valley of the shadow" the memory
plays strange tricks. Goethe told
Eckermann that he once knew an old
man who in his very last moments be-
gan to recite beautiful Greek SEN
fences. These he had been made,
as boy, to learn by heart for a spec
ial purpose; but for fifty years had not
uttered them. They were there in his
memory, though, all the same and
some unexplainable cerebral action
suddenly gave them form and express
sion.
1t is computed by scientists that
since one-third of a second suffces to
produce an impression in 100 years
a man must have collected in his brain
9, 467, 100000 copies of impressions, or,
if we take off one third of the time for
sleep, 6,311, 100000 This would give
8, 155, 100000 separate waking impress
sions to the man who lives to the age
of SO years. Allowing a weight of
four pounds to the brain and deducting
one-fourth for blood and vessels
and another fourth for external integu-
ment it is further computed that each
grain of brain-substance must contain
205, 542 traces or impressions.
