A COWS BLACK MILK.

Singular Habit of an Otherwise Well Dis
posed and Respectable Bovine.
Rupert Hansborough. of the firm Of
Crowley, Hansborough & Co., leather
dealers. of Chilicothe. o., is the possess
or of natural curiosity in the shape Of
a cow which gives black milk. She is
on Mr.. Hansborough's model farm, says
the Chicago Herald, situated few miles
out of town, and can be seen at any
time grazing in his pasture, and at milk
ing time her singular yield will be
shown any one desiring to behold it.
OF mixed breed, Jersey and Durham,
with strain of Ayrshire, she was
calved on the farm and was the second
born to her mother, whose milk pre-
sented no popularity, and whose first
calf. a heifer, too, still gives an abund.
ance of natural tinted milk.
Mollie. as she is called, is a pretty
little COW, with nothing unusual in her
appearance, and has borne already FIVE
young. which have thriven well on her
black milk. 1t produces fair amount
of cream, which is a trifie lighter in COL
or, and which when churned makes but
ter resembling coal tar, but as palata-
BILE as though of golden yellow Mr..
Hansborough says that at first they
were&fraid to drink or use the milk in
any way, but, overcoming their preju-
dice, now enjoy it as any other,
He has received numbers of offers for
her. both from the proprietors of muse
ums and stockmen. but declined them
from hopes that she will yet transmit
her popularity to some Of her progeny
Chemists in Richmond and Washington
have analysed the milk, both fresh and
when made into butter. but declare that
they can detect nothing to account for
its sable color, but attribute it to some
unique coloring pigment in the corpus
cleS of her blood.

ARTIFICIAL RUBIES.

The Precious Stones EeinS Manufactured
by Chemists.
What is the use of exploring unknown
and dangerous countries for rubies when
the secret of their artificial pro-
duction has been discovered? This was
the question which the Academy Of
Sciences discussed ON the report of
NM. Frenzy and Verneuil, who, for
some time past, have been making
chemical experiments in the manu-
facture of these stones. More valua-
BILE than mere theory, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, was the fact that the two
chemists exhibited some hundreds Of
specimens of the glittering red crystals
they had succeeded in producing. The
rubies were admitted by all to be
much superior to any thing hitherto
manufactured. No little danger, how
ever, attends the process. The chemi-
Gals have to be fused at heat SO in
tense that NJ. Verneuil, during the
course of the experiments, nearly lost
his sight. While manufacturing rnbies
the two chemists found that, at a GER
tain stage of the operations, crystals of
the color of sapphires were produced,
but the hue hitherto obtained has not
Qeen equal to the tint of the real gem.

An African Burg That Is Sustaining Quite
A Boom.
About the liveliest place in equatorial
Africa Just now is Matadi. the starting
point on the lower Congo of the Congo
railroad. A thousand men are working
in Matadi and along the river within a
few miles of that place. Missionaries
write that it would surprise any one to
see the number of good houses that are
going up at Matadi, substantially built
of stone, brick, iron and wood. The ad-
vent of the railroad laborers has made
things exceedingly brisk for the few
missionaries of Bishop Taylor's station
in that neighborhood. These mission
aries, it is well known, depend mostly
upon their own exertions for support
They find that they have now a ready
market for every thing that they can
produce in their gardens Mr.. Teter
writes to the African News that he has
as good market for his produce at
Matadi as he would have in New York
or London. The Congo State has given
Mr.. Teter site upon which to build a
Church at Matadi and also supply of
lumber and other building material for
the edifice. Some Of the native laborers
on the railroad are contributing money
to support this church, which, it is ex-
pected, will be entirely self-supporting
from the first. One native subscribed
twenty dollars and others nearly equal
amounts toward the building of an iron
church which, as soon as possible, will
take the place of the temporary struc-
ture. These natives were probably
brought from mission stations further
north on the west coast, and they wish
to have the same religious privileges on
the Congo they have been accustomed

MENOING THE BRAIN.
An Experiment of Rare and Sfngul
Nature.

An Experiment of Rare and singular
Nature.
DR.. w. e. Thompson, professor Of
physiology of the University Medical
College, recently accomplished the re-
markable surgical feat of transferring
the brains of dog and cat while both
were alive. The object of the expert
ment, says the Chicago Tribune, was to
show that brain tissue may be grated
without interfering with the normal
functions of the body. The laboratory
of the college was the scene of the
vivisection. After first bathing the an
imals in weak solution of bi-chlOride
of mercury, they were etherized, and
sufficient of the skulls was sawed off.
through which the larger portions of
the brains of each were taken. Tabby's
brains became Fido's property and vice
versa. The openings were closed and
dressed with antiseptic bandages.
The room was kept at exact blood
heat during the operation, in order to
guard against cold. The patients
were then placed in safe quarters and
carefully watched, until they were
deemed sufficiently recovered to be ex-
hibited to class of one hundred and
fifty students. The cat seemed to be
all right and the dog moved about with
almost as much freedom as when he
had his own brains, though he seemed
perhaps little stupid. At the time Of
the operation and just after the brains
had been taken out the animals lost
feeling in the paws, but the union of
the old and the new brains had SO far
developed that the sensation had re-
turned to both animals.
In speaking to his class of the expert
ment, DIR. Thompson said that a sue
cessful operation of this kind meant
nothing more nor less that the POSSIBLE
ity of repairing mans brains with
portions of those from the lower ami
mails.

A Description of tho New Game and How
1t L. PLAYED.

a
1t L. Played.
The game of tiddledy winlks is the
latest fad, says the Detroit Free Press
Tiddledy winks parties are all the go.
The game is innocent, if the players do
not bet, and subjects the mental sys-
tenn to no heavy strain. 1t consists OF
a small paper box, divided into COM
partments in which can be found
wood tub or glass jar called wink pot,
a number of bone or celluloid chips a
little larger III circumference than a
quarter OF d dollar, called tiddledies,
and large number of smaller chips
about the size OF dime, called wi0ks.
Each hand. consisting of one tiddiedy
and six winks, is of a color, and, while
there are generally four hands in box,
there may be as many as coiors can be
had. Each CT the parties playing at a
table. over which there should be soft
cover, takes one tiddiedy and six winlls,
and, placing them ten to twelve inches
from the wink pot, located 10 the CEN
ter, endeavors in turn to flip the winlxS
into the wink pot. The Tipping process
is accomplished by placing the tiddledy
firmly upon the wink and then by draw
ing or sliding it off the edge of the wink
is tipped and bounced toward the wink
pot, if aimed in that direction. The
one who tips his six winks into the
wink pot first wins the game. Some
very nice points are involved, which eX-
perience will teach how to discriminate
between. When one persons wink f1ips
upon that of another and remains there
the lower wink can not be removed
until relieved by the owner OF the
upper wink, which is an annoying dis
advantage to the proprietor of the
under wink. 1t requires not little
skill to give the wink the proper flip;
and the sport derived from the awk-
wardness of the inexperienced and the
obstinancy of the chips is hilarious.

Scenes of Rare Grandeur Produced by q
Burning Mountain.
Late travellers from the volcano give
most wonderful accounts of the recent
activities at the crater, writes a Homo
lulu correspondent of the Boston Tran
script. For some time past Kilauea had
been in a quiet state, with an occasional
outburst; but recently scenes of rare
grandeur and wonderful sublimity seem
to be calling renewed attention to this
wonder of the world. 1t is reported
that the issue of fire at such times
causes holding of the breath at the
display of the immensely of Natures
forces. The red, surging waves, wild
in their fiery antics, seem as though
about to roll beyond the lava walls that
confine them, and fire wave after fire
wave surge their awfully majestic bill
lows against the cliffs. The changes
are constant and grand beyond the
power of description. These seething
waves are waves indeed, but waves of
fire, red-hot, unauthorized, volcanic
fire, beyond the power of artists and
pen of writer to portray. The last re-
ports state that the great fire of the pit
is at times divided into several distinct
partitions of the fiery surface, and pre-
sents 4 spectacle seldom witnessed even
in this most marvellous place.

A e,R1.s STRANGE APPETITE.


The Queer Hankering Of Sturdy BunAlo
Servant to Eat Soap.
A servant girl, by name Louisa Bank
burr, in the employ Of Reese r McMar
han of this city. says a Buffalo CORE
spondent, has developed most singu-
lar taste for eating soap. of which she
has been known to devour nearly
pound in a day The family for some
time past were much puzzled to account
for the way in which the soap disap-
peared from the boxes, and it was not
until the girl was seen eating a cake
with all the relish in the world that it
occurred to them to ascribe the disap-
pearance to her. She is "a large, healthy
looking girl of about seventeen, and
she declares that her singular diet in
which she has INDUCED for some months
has never disagreed with her, but Mr..
McMahan says that it has affected her
appetite so that she does not care to eat
much beside soap.
At first she preferred the milder kind
of complexion and hand soaps. but as
she INDUCED the unnatural craving her
taste grew for the strongest kind, and
now she eats with avidity those used
for kitchen work. The physicians who
have examined into the peculiar case
say that the girls morbid appetite
comes from no disorder of her stomach,
but is probably cultivated idiOsyncra-
sy. Louisa herself states that she was
first induced to eat it by the pleasure
piece of toilet soap afforded her by its
perfume. Efforts have been made to
get her to give up the habit, which will
ultimately cause her death, but she
persists in it, and says that she would
die without it. She is perfectly sensi-
BILE. and even very intelligent. and has
grown very sensitive on the subject.
Mr.. McMahan gives her an excellent
character. and offers to bear the ex-
pense of placing her in an inebriate
asylum if her family. who live in Ton

FIT FAILS DOUBLE THE DOSE

The Russian physician and pnblicist
POrtugaloff declares that strychnine in
subcutaneous in Elections is an immediate
and infallible remedy for drunkenness.
The craving of the inebriate for drink is
changed into positive aversion in Il day
and after treatment of eight or ten days
the patient may be discharged. And if
the appetite should return the first at
tempt to resume drinking will produce
such painful and nauseating sensations
that the person will turn away in dis
gust. The strychnine is administered by
disolving one grain in 200 drops Of water
and injecting four or five drops every
twenty-fOur hours.
