Almost every human malady is con.
nected, either by highway or BY byways,
with the stomach.
Headache almost always yields to
the simultaneous application Of hot
water to the feet and the back of the
neck.

the fine ashes from coal are excellent to

As I sat in the shady porch to-day,
Half dreaming and half awake.
Watching the merry sunbeams play,
And the vines and blossoms shake;
From the leaiy depths Of IN apple-tree
The sounds OF distress we're heard.
And. leaving my dreams, I went to see
What disturbed the mother bird,
Who had built her nest with dainty caro-.
When the bonghs were pink and white,
With fragrant blooms that filled the air
And hid the nest from sight.
i saw, as I looked. the mother-bird
Fly here and there in her grief
And I guessed the cause, from the twittcrtn8a
heard.
And fain would have brought relief.
For her sorrow was one I. too, had known:
Its pain yet lay in my breast
Ny fiedgelings had gathered their strength
and flown
From out their mug. warm nest
For one had gone to far SouthlandA
And one gone forth to the West,
And one. with folded, pauid hands,
On the hillside lay At rest.
Or. mother bird. Il Is hard to bear:
Your plaintive cries have confessed;
And ] moan with you rs you beat the air
About your deserted nest

Stature OF Various Nations.

According to the Investigations of the
..nthropological Committee of the British
Association, recently reported, the mean
stature of the Germans does not rise
above five feet, five and one-eighth inches;
while the Swiss average is n little
greater, being five feet, seven and four
fifths inches. The English are the tall
est race among men, their average height
being five feet, ten inches, the working
elasses included, outside of which the
average stature would amount to only
I've feet, nine inches. The Norwegians,
however, are, at least, their equals. The
Danes, Dutchmen and Hungarians aver
age five feet and eight inches; the Swiss,
Russians and Belgians, five feet and seven
and four-fifths inches. The Frenchman's s
mean stature does not rise above five feet
and five and one-eighth inches. In Ger
many there appears decided difference of
'ze between the inhabitants of the South
al those of the North; for example, the
Ham verians and Bavarians-in favor of
the former. The smallest of all European
nations are the Italians and Spaniards,
who show mean of only five feet and five
inches. While, as mentioned, the work.
ingmen of England evince an average
superiority of bodily size, in France the
other classes exhibit mean measure by
nearly an inch exceeding that of the
laboring population. n.-C Courier Journal.

Mysteries Of Amber.

Amber has only recently come to be
understood. The ancients regarded it
as altogether mysterious and even magi-
cal, says the Washington Star. They
found that it was rendered electrical by
friction so as to attract light substances,
and our word electricity" comes from
the Greek name for amber, which was
''electron." A favorite puzzle with them
was how the insects so frequently found
inclosed in amber came TO be so situated.
I have myself seen a chunk of very
transparent amber in which small liz
ard with five legs was encased, looking
as if it might have been alive yesterday,
though doubtless it had been dead for
thousands of years. The mystery of this
sort of phenomenon is easily enough ex-
planned when it is understood that am
Der is actually the fossil gum of an ex-
tinct kind of cone bearing tree. In the
process of hardening it imprisoned the
flies and other creatures preserved in the
chunks of it that are found to-day.
The finest specimen of amber in Eu,
rope is cup made of that material, now
at the Brighton Museum, England. AM
Der now is worth from 30 to $50 0
pound, according to its quality. Tha
most important uses made of it is for
meerschaum and other pipes.
