THE LoFTiEST VOLCANO.

A Faint Outline Of Mount Cotopaxi's 1Ear
pressive Grandeur.
Winter tourists who go south to spend
the frost~bitten months should visit the
Andes and go into training for o walking
match. A writer in the american MayaziU
says:
Cotopaxi ia the Hottest of active vot
canoes, but is slumbering now. The only
evidences of action are the frequent rum
blings that can be heard for lG0 miles, and
the cloud Of smoke by day and the pillar Of
fire by night, which constantly arise frota
a crater that is more than 1000 feet beyond
the reach Of man. Many have attempted
to climb the monster, but the walls are 80
steep and the snow is so deep that the AZ,
cent is impossible, even with scaling lad
ders
On the southern slope Of Cotopaxi is 81
great rock, more than 1900 feet hign, called
the s'Inca's Head" Tradition says that i!
was once the summit of the volcano and
fell on the day when Atahualpa was stran.
gled by the Spaniards. Those who have
seen Vesuyius can Judge Of the grandeur OF
Cotopaxi if they can imagine a volcano 49,
600 feet higher, squirting flames and lava
from crest covered with 5000 feet Of
snow, with voice that has been heard COZ
miles. And one can Judge of the grandeur
of scenery on the road to Quito If he can
imagine twenty of the highest mountains in
America, three of them active volcanoes,
standing along the road from Washington
to New York.

ANT,PYRlNE FlENDS.
The Latest Vice Practiced by Thousand
Of American Women.

Tie Latest Vice Practiced by Thousands.
Of American Women.
If one-half of what the doctors are say.
ing all over the country is true, says the
Buffalo Courier. there may soon be a greater
need Of a temperance reform among the
women than there ever has been among the
men. Strong drink, however, is not the
monster by which the women may be ell"
shaved, but strong and poisonous drug
equally baneful in its effect.
This drug is antipyrine. The chemical
name for it is s'dimet hyloxyquimzini," bus,
as it is rather long and might not be easily
pronounced by ladies who are not ortho-
graphical experts, it has been called simple
antipyrine, and appears as such il the med
ical books.
1t is white powder, slightly bitter, and
soluble in water. Until ebout q year ago
it was prescribed for fevers only, but
French medical college recommended it Tor
headaches and other pains and disorders,
and in this way it has gained its grasp On
so many thoughtless and nervous women.
In Chicago and many other places it is
said that the habit is gaining with alarming
rapidly, for the women take it for every
ILL., and can not believe that it's soothing
effect can have any evil result until tho
habit is thoroughly fixed upon them.
1t produces different results under dit"
ferent clrcums tances; and, like many other
preparations. varies according to the size
of the dose. In large doses it has been
known to produce complete relaxation and
at the same time loss of reflex action
and death. In moderate or tonic doses il
often produces convulslons. Its effect as
stimuiant seems to be very much like that
of quinine, and the ply siciaas say that they
do not understand why it should get the
hold on women that it does.

A Diamond in = Dianoou,,

A remarkably precious stone receney
came to the notice of the Je.oelcrs: Reuiew
It was a diamond of fine white color,
weighing about four karats, and handsome
~ cut, which had cracked INTO two equal
parts, revealing in it's center another diar
mond. The interior stone was q pentahe
dron, with facets upon it as regular and
perfect as if they b. been cut bya skillful
lapidary. $50 perfectly did this little dia-
mond fit into its matrix that it was invisible
when the three parts Of the combination
were put together. The impossibility Of
putting two diamonds together in such a
way by art is beyond, question. It.Ras the
work Of nature, but what natural law, or
pervefsion 0f law, had such an amazing eff
feet was far beyond even the theorixing Of
those who inspected the stone =

MILITARY RED-TAPE.
An Instance of tho Worst Kind Vouched
For by General Barton.


For by General Barton.
General Barton, the author of Remin-
iscenses of Sport in India,' gives IN his
second volume the following example of
bit of military red-tape:
II had obtained from q friend who had
been in Afghanistan pair Of Afghan
sandals, which have no toe-ring, but strap
coming from the hind part of the sandal
and fastened over the ankle with small
buckle; also, instead of the hard piece OF
leather over the instep, an arrangement OF
soft plated leathern straps. The front
part of the sole was we'll turned up, so as
70 protect the toes from injury by thorns or
stones. y X X Having myself tried them
and become convinced of their advantages,
I showed them to my regiment, and had
them worn by some of the men at ditferea4~
times on parade; and they were so much
liked that, as my headquarters wing was
not TO march for two months to come, had
pair made for each man in the wing. /
may add that the cost was about one-third
Of that of boots-a great consideration
with the Sepoy. Accordingly, my wing
marched all provided with these sandals,
and there was not one case OF sore or cus
feet during the whole march. Moreover.
the men could double and run at full speed
also, without any fear OF the sandals COM

Quakers in Philadelphia.

APhiladelphia newspaper says that the
prevailing impression that "the old time,
broad-bri1nmed, sugar-scoop Quakers" are

A vanished Florida City.

Somewhere in the thirties st, Joseph,
Fla, was thriving city Of several thou
sand people. There was also railroad
running from lola, on the Apalachicola riv-
err, to st. Joseph. To-day there is not YES
tige of the city remaining, nor of the rail-
road. William Samuels, an old colored
man who lives near cambridge, told US
the other day that many years ago he lived
in St. Joseph, and travelled thence by the
railroad from lola, also stating thatit was
the first and the last time in his life he
ever rode on the cars. He was astonished
when we told him that both city and rail-
road had been in the grave for ever forty
years.

which ministers to the well-being OF the
race. It is the spirit that is carried into an
employment that elevates it or degrades it.
