The Neurogical society lately held .
seance in New York, in which several
pugilists were exhibited to establish
marked similarity between their ears
and those Of the incurably insane. It Ia
q well known fact among physicians
that a swollen prominence Of the upper
part Of the ear occurs often in crazy
people, and is an invariable indication
Of hopeless lunacy. Among prize fight
ers the same peculiar mark is seen, re-
sulting from frequent pummeling of the
head. The swelled ear of a fighter il
priced by him as distinction second
only to broken nose, and in time be-
comes an established trade mark; but
the individuals who came forward to
illustrate "Hematonia," or humorous
ears, were somewhat chagrined to find
that their professional sign also belongs
to the worst cases Of the mad house.
Investigation might lead to the discovery
Of more intimate kinship between the
two classes Of people who bear the brand
Of swelled ears.-Cosmopolitan.

To Boom Vermont,

There are a score or more of towns
in Vermont that have a natural water
power capable Of. operating almost
any amount of machinery. Around
these natural advantages should be
Ipopulous cities aud villages, Some
of them are destined to grow largely
if the enterprise Of their ci;izeus does
not abate. The state press has du-
ty to perform in this matter that il
should not attempt to escape. No
better advertisement of the facilities
offered for manufacturing industries
can be had THAI the work Of the To-
cal newspaper. All a newspaper
does tends to help the town in which
it is located. Persistent efforts to
attract the eye of ,the capitalist and
contirm his faith in the advantages of
town cannot fail of at least a mod
est success in the end.-St. Albans

1, Oracle M. PIKE, of Stratton, in the
county of Windham, and state of Ver-
mont, depose and say, that, my age is Is
and that am a teacher. further de-
pose that last fall l called at the Post
office at South Londonderry, Vt, which
office is kept in the store of one Henry p.
Chase. to procure money order or pos
tai note, to send in payment for some
dress-goods which | was going to pur-
chase in Brattleboro; and the said Hen
ry p. Chase told me that the office did
not issue money orders or postal notes.
He had just been showing me some of
the same kind Of goods which was In
tending to buy in Brattleboro, and he Of
fered me discount If would buy of him.
In view of the trouble of sending my
money to Brattleboro, and the discount
which he offered me, concluded and did
make my purchase of him.

this the Goth. day of March, 1889.
w. C. WHEELER,
Notary Public.
This is copy of a sworn affidavit
sent to the Post office Department at
Washington, March 27th. The atfi-
ant is unknown to us but we are cred
IDLY Informed that she is an intelligent
young lady, member of church and
of unble mished character, in every
particular.
Lastly We quote the following:
Mr.. Chase is a veteran of the war, and
was at the front for three years, save for
one that he spent in Libby prison. How
about Smith?
This put q broad grin upon the
faces of the old veterans of this local
itv. Mr.. Chase enlisted as recruit
for the 9th Vt. Reg. and from his
mustering-in to his mustering-out was
in the service about a year and five
months. Grand Army men here tell
us that, instead of being at the front
for two years, as the above states, he
never carried gun that before gun
was issued to him he went out with a
foragiog party and was captured.
Surely cause must be desperate that
requires such bare-faced lying as this.
Mr.. Chase entered the service of his
country and is entitled to credit there
for, and the SITTER would not rob
him of one jot or title of that credit.
Further it has no personal warfare to
wage upon him as man or citizen.
1t does not believe that he was built
for postmaster. If the post-office
brokers at Brattleboro think they can
shield their man by abusing us they
can sail in with the assurance that
they will have clear field and will
not be molested therein. We set out
with the determination to show the
people how "bossism works and
who are the bosses. We shall not be
deferred from carrying it to a finish.

A Cure for I->prosv.

A cure for leprosy has been found,
says Mr.. Clifford, the last European to
visit Father Damien. It is gurjun oil,
the produce Of fir tree which grows
plentifully in the Andaman Islands. "It
was discovered by DR.. Dougall, and Mr..
Clifford was assured by Sir Donald
Stewart, who was then governor Of the
islands, and who has sent me the official
medical report, that every single case in
the place was cured by 1t. The lepers
were convicts, and it was therefore i'm
possible to enforce four hours a day Of
rubbing the ointment all over their
bodies, and the taking Of two small doses
internally. In some Of the cases the dis
ease was Of many years standing, and
the state to which It had reduced it, vio-
TINS was indescribably dreadful, yet
after eight months sufferers were able to
run and to use a heavy pickax, and every
symptom Of leprosy had disappeared y
Father Damien tried It, but too late.

ALDEN's MANIFOLD CYCLoPEDIA

We are glad to note the appearance
of volume 13, of this excellent publ
cation. 1t takes the work along from
Electricity to Exclaim. The infor-
nation is condensed, but clear, accu-
rate and brought down to date. There
is no sighting Of any points, and the
more important topics are treated
with admiral fullness.
Thus Electricity has "a pages;
Electric light, 6 pages; Elizabeth
(Queen), about Z pages(with q fac
smile Of her signature, which is in
teresting if not beautifully Emerson,
4 pages; England, about 15 pages;
Engraving, about 8 pages: Ensilage,
nearly 8 pages; Episcopal Church,
about pages; Ethnology, l0pages; ;
A Cyclopedia of some kind is needed
in every home and every school.
This costs but little, while for gener-
al use it is far more convenient and
practical than the large and very ex-
pensive works. 1t presents just the
kind of information which is needed
in everyday life. Another valuable
feature is found in the illustrations
which are freely used where needed
to explain the text. Thus far this
series Of volumes has been eminently
satisfactory, and there is every reason
that this high standard will be main.

Csssowsry Fishing.


The habits Of the cormorant and Of
our native fsh hawk are generally
known. Their methods Of taking fish
are very much like those OF birds Of
prey. But the cassowary fishes accord
Ing to . method Of its own. Mr.. Powell
witnessed its operations on river In the
island Of New Britain:
I saw cassowary come down to the
waters edge, and stand for some minutes
apparently watching the water carefully.
It then stepped into the river where 1t
was about three feet deep, and, partially
squatting down, spread its wings out,
submerging them, the feathers being
spread and rufiled.
The bird remained perfectly motion
lsss, and kept its eyes closed, - II IN
sleep. It remained in this position for
fully . quarter Of IN hour, when, sud-
denly closing its wings and Strengthening
its feathers, 1t stepped out on the bank.
Here it shook itself several times, where
upon quantity Of small fishes fell out
of Its wings, and from amidst its feeth-
ers, which the bird Immediately picked
up and swallowed.
The hshes had evidently mistaken the
feathers for kind Of weed that grows
In the water along the banks Of the rivers
in this island, and which very much re-
sembles the feathers Of the cassowary.
The smaller hshss hide in these weeds to
avoid the larger ones that prey on them.
