SapeSSOmanIa.

DR.. r. Ellis, of Danburv, Ct, writes in
the Medical Record, as follows: 81
should like to place on record the his
tory of the following case of mania for
soap-eating, which [ believe deserves
the coinage of the word sapessomania,
or a mania for eating soap.
Mrs. j, aged 20, consults me in
reference to an irritable stomach Of
long standing. She gives the following
details: When about years of age she
first enjoyed a mouthful of bar-soap.
So agreeable was the taste that she
would eat it whenever she could getit
When aged years her mother found
her, spoon in hand, eating sott-soap with
keen relish. AS she grew in years so
did her yearning for soap. Her play
mates ate candy, but she preferred soap.
Her father brought home to the other
children sweetmeats but to equally
satisfy her piece from common bar
soap must be given. Until she was Il
her sapessomanla continued. When
awake she loved to handle it and smell
oft and eat of it.
"When asleep she dreamed of soap.
Often, to pacify her, piece was given
to her to hold in her hand to soothe her
to sleep, when she continued in her
imagination still to eat soap. At IL her
SlOudCA OuII1Cd ucI 81 tIldU Slo SUODOGQ
her habit, but still continued to love to
handle and 10 think of eating the great
delicacy.
"When %, or twelve years after her
last feast, an advertising agent left at
her door a scent bar of bathroom soap,
which pleased her SO much that she ate
it all in twenty-four hours. Since then
she has eaten none, though there is al
ways the desire to do so. Though she
can no longer eat it, she still loves to
handle it, she loves to use plenty of it
in her housework ana i'll her bathroom.
1.-THE smell of it is still sweet to her
nostrils, and the thick suds she delights
in remind her of the days gone by,
never to return. Strange to say, she
cares only for the coarse bar-soap-
fancy soaps she never uses. She asserts
that her mania is as strong to-day as it
was years ago, though she has tasted
soap but once in eighteen years"

Our Dumb Animals.

The American Humane Education
Society, 10 Milk Street. Boston. Mass,
incorporated by the legislature of Mas
sachusetts, is doing a noble work. 1t
has its missionaries all over the United
States. It sends out every year hun
dreds of thousands of its humane pub
locations.
The house sparrow, whose head is still
measurably safe for month, is not
half so much to blame for the disap-
pearance of the song birds as the roar
Ing engines, screaming, whistling, bad
air, and coal SCOT and smoke Of the cities
are. Were it not for the sparrow in the
city we would be eaten up by the insects
of summer.
Prof J. G.. Woods, of England, in his
admirable lectures on the horse, points
out many errors In the common treat
ment of the animal, particularly the
abuse of the feet by heavy shoes and
by cutting away the frog-the elastic
buffer provided for the animal by the
Creator. He also mentions specific evils
arising from binders and tight check
reins.
The milk Of COWS that have been
frightened, roughly handled, scantily
fed or whipped and driven fast before
milking, often produces disease, and in
the case of young children using it tends
to commissions.

German
Syrup .

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. am a farmer, one OF
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter l was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got well
drenched in shower of rain. /
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle Of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup.
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all it's bad effects. Ife1t tip-top and
have felt that way ever SINCE

For the Birds.

For a woman, with her gifts and
graces, IN this busy world, to turn her
head-gear into a rookery for the display
of stuffed birds, is to take narrow view
of her place and opportunity. How can
a woman faunt bird-scalp on her head
without hardening process going on in
her heart, uniting her to that extent
for the tender ministries and gentle
manners that make her the charm of
social life? We suggest that every wom-
an inclined to put her head into such
uses, sit down Tor ten minutes under the
old maple and listen to the CHEEKY or
chestra of happy bird-life, and then de-
eide if any wish or act of hers shall go
toward blotting out one such life. We
give womanhood the credit of believing
that her verdict in every such case
would be for the life of the bird. Those
who protest against this sin of birds de-
struction are rapidly increasing, and
the number of the fair heads crowned
with bird plumage is steadily lessening.
Heaven speed the day when nowhere in
all the land shall there be one heart SO
selfish as to allow any bird song to die
out for the adjoining of the feminine
head.

HU MANE WORK.
To His Horse.

Come, my beauty come, my desert-darling
On my shoulder lay thy glossy head
Fear not, though the barley be empty,
Here's the half of Hassan's scanty bread
Thou shalt have thy share of dates, my beauty !!
And thou know'st my water-skin is free:
Drink and welcome, for the wells are distant,
And my strength and safety lie in thee.
Bend thy forehead, now, TO take my kisses
Live in love thy dark and splendid eye
Thou art glad when Hassan mounts the saddle
Thou art proud he owns thee; so am l.
Letthe Sultan bring his boasted horses,
Prancing with their demonstrated relns;
They. my darling, shall not match thy heetness,
When they course with thee the desert plains.
We have seen Damascus, o. my beauty!
And the splendor of the Pashas there;
Whars their pomp ana riches? why, would not
Take them for handful of thy hair.

H. P Cheatham is the only colored
man to sit IN the next Congress. He
is college graduate, and is said to be
the best educated colored man, with
one exception, that ever sat in the
House. Many members of Congress
break down prematurely from their
changed surroundings and from the
effects of bad air and the mallgn in
fuence Of the Potomac flats. If peo-
pie who are subject to these maladies
would take REDS GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE they will escape
all of these troubles. It is remarkable
how soon these maladies are relieved
by this great medicine. No one ever
had to take a second dose in order to
see whether it benefited him or not.

At this station, as at the Potsdam sta

ried upstairs to the main floors of the
station by porters. The heavier lug
gage is taken up by the hydraulic eleva-
tors that play SO important part in all
Berlin railway stations. There is an
enormous restaurant and waiting rooms
on the track floor of the station, the
first and second class passengers being
carefully separated from the third and
fourth class. The tracks leading out Of
this station are elevated, and run past
five-story buildings for long distance.

A Close Call.

Although I am so years old and have
travelled by rail many thousand miles, l
have never been in but one smash-up.
1t occurre d on the Boston and Maine
road several years ago, about halfway
between La Wrence and Boston, where
the Wilmington Railroad crosses dlagon-
ally the track. The triangle was covered
with young growth of birches, SO that
cars on neither line could be seen very
far by either.
We left Exeter at 11:3O A. NJ. one
beautiful sunny day and were running
about twenty five milesan hour. Asthe
signal TALL was up indicating that the
Wilmington train had passed, we would
have gone on without stopping, but at
that moment we caught glimpse
through the trees of the approaching
cars coming at full speed.
At the same moment both engineers
reversed their engines. but they were
SO near that the steel monsters came to-
gether like huge monsters bent on de-
struction, reared high in the air, then
came down with such force that they
sank deep into the ground. 1t took two
other engines four hours to disentangle
them.
[ was seated in the fourth seat in the
end of the car next to the smoker and
saw the cars coming. l knew q COILS
ion was inevitable but [ did not realize
my danger until after it was passed.
Every passenger rushed out as soon as
the cars came to standstill, to see
what had happened. l felt that my
safety was in keeping quiet, so when
Mr.. Tucker, the conductor, who had
run that train for twenty-five years
without an accident, came in and saw
me sitting there, his face blanched md
in husky voice he exclaimed:
Madame, do you know how near to
eternity you have been?"
only answered, "No, do you ?"
Eyes, within one-siXteenth of min
ute p
George Brayton, an inventor of
Providence, r. l., soon came in, and
taking a seat with me explained the
whole situation. 1t seemed the en-
gineers and fremen all jumped for their
lives and escaped injury; then they
measured the distance and time. Ac-
cording to their calculations, had not
both engines been reversed as they

Lord Hampden, who presided at re-

ed to the members the follow ng lines,
relating to the proper care of horses,
which, he said, he had hung up in his
own stables:

Down hill-hurry me not.
Loose in stable-forget me not.
OF hay and corn-rob me not.
OF clean water-stint me not
With sponge and brush-neglect me
not.
Of soft, dry bed-deprive me not.
Tired or hot-leave me not.
Sick or cold-chili me not.
With bit and reins-oh, jerk me not.
When you are angry-strike me not.
With tight check-rein-torture me
not.
OF fly net-stint me not.
When frightened-whip me not, and
make my fears two-fold.

Good authorities on the horse agree
that a balky horse should never be
whipped or abused in any manner.
One writer says: eff he won't go, let
him stand still and think it over. He
will very often think better of it, and
after few moments reflection, and a
few losses of his head, go on of his
own accord; or if this does not answer,
get out of the wagon and pat him and
talk to him kindly. Sometimes it is
well to loosen strap or start a buckle.
[ have known the mere act of uncheck-
ing and rechecking the animal to answer
the purpose, and stop q determination
to resist. For this same reason an
apple, or a bunch of grass from the
roadside, or handful of oats or a few
kernels of corn, will often accomplish
what an hours beating could never
effect"

On Check-reinS.

The late Sir Arthur Helps said ::
whenever [ see horses suffering from
a too tight check-rein, | know the own
er is unobservant, cruel or pompous.
He is unobservant or he would see that
his horses are suffering. He is ignorant
or he would know that horse loses
much of his power of pulling and cannot
recover himself if he stumbles; and he
is cruel if, observing and knowing, he
does not remedy it. He is pompous
and vulgar if he prefers his horses rear
their heads on high and rattle their
trappings, to be dealt with humanely and
reasonably. When / look at the coat
of-arms on these carriages | know who
are the greatest fools in London in the
upper classes. The idiot and brute of a
coacnman likes to sit behind these poor
tortured faithful martyrs, with their
tied-up heads,'' but his master ought to
know better.
