AN intellectual amusement recently devised in
Boston consists of writing a capital D on sheet
OF paper while standing at a table, and trying
to make the right foot swing 10 the opposite dl-
rection from that which the pencil Is following
on the paper. No one, SO far as heard from
has been able to perform the feat. y on get
your foot swinging nicely in the opposite direc-
tion from that in which you know you are going
to make the big loop of the d, aud firmly re-
solve that you will keep it going the same way
while you are writing; but as soon as you get
started on the letter, will you mill you, your
foot turns and goes the other way.
ONE OF the most stupid bets on record, &C
cordirg to the London Daily Telegraph, was
| lost a short time ago by young cabinet maker
named Paul Parmentier. VINO while drinking in
| a WINE shop in the Rue Keller, Paris, offered to
| lay q wager OF francs that he would jump out
of fourth floor window without hurting him
| self. Treating the offer as a joke his comrades
| accepted the bet, but were horrtned when Par
mentier rushed into the road, and climbing
! four flights TO mis- own room, threw himself into
the street He was picked up with his left leg
broken and seriously injured internally.
| WHAT are now known as luminous paints, or
,, colors, are now extensively employed for
artistic purposes, relates the New York sun,
for which use they are prepared by mixing with
| East Indian poppy oil, in the same quantity,
| instead of the varnish, particular care being
| exercised to grind the materials to as tne a
condition possible that is, for luminous oil
| color paints, equallquAntities OF pure linseed,
cold pressed and thickened By heat, are SUI
stitute for the varnish. 1t is found that all the
| luminous paints can be used in the production
of colored papers for artistic application II var
nish is altogether omitted and the dry mixtures
| ground TO paste with water. In the beautiful
| gray paint which results from this method,
| forty-fve parts of the prescribed material are
| mixed with six parts OF prepared barfum sui
phate, six of prepared calcium carbonate, o.
| of ultramarine blue, aud 6.5 parts gray zinc
| sulphide; a yellowsh brown luminous paint is
| obtained from forty-eight parts of the pre-
| scribed material. ten parts precipitated barium
| sulphate, eight OF auripigment and thirty four
1 OF luminous calcium sulphide.
| A DRUNKARD was asleep in a Third avenue
hallway, near Twenty-eighth street, says the
| New York Sun, when Patrolman Clinton Of the
| Thirty fifth Street station, espied his
protruding legs He didn't begin To
pound the rather thin soles of
] the poor follows worn shoes, as
/ is the custom with the park keepers in dealing
with sleeping tramps on the benches. He
reached over and grasped the sleeper by the
nose and the fellow was on his feet in an in
| slant You must have tweaked it pretty
hard" suggested witness of the incident.
| mot a bit, SIR" he replied. Il didn't hurt
| him at all. You see, sir, barring the lungs. the
| nose is the principal organ of respiration, and
| the lungs, SIR wouldn't have much to do if il
| wasn't for the nose. When mans asleep,
| and especially when he's drunk as well, he's
| pretty sure to breathe as nature intended him
| TO, sir, and that's through his nose. All you
| have to do then, sir. is to pinch his nose, shut
of his wind, and up he comes with a snort. Its
good deal more human, sir, than the bAstl-
nado, and always apply it, sir"
COLD WATER is q narcotic, as alcohol is, says
DR.. Robert Walter in LdlUs of Health 1t dead
ems the sensibilites of the skin, and hence pre-
| vents the sensation Of cold. 1t relieves the dis
| position to chllliness because of this deadened
! sensibity. and as colds and catarrhs are due tC
| hyper-senstiveuess of the skin, we readily see
| that the cold morning bath prevents the cold by
| reducing the constituencies But the cold morn
ing bath does something more. 1t arUuses
nervous activity by calling upon the vital sys-
tenn for increased animal heat. The contrac-
| ton OF the vessels due to the cold is followed
by a relaxation of them, explained by the prin-
| cpe Of reaction, and SO through the cold both
action and reaction are established, which fire
| quently give delusve excitements TO the victims
| The tepid or warm morning bath is a great
improvement over the cold water bath, but
! even these are not to be commended. Whoever
| would enjoy the best of health should take hi:
! bath two, three or four times week and retire
to bed for a rest thereby allowing nature TO Sc
cure the best equilibrium OF her forces and pro-
mote the best conditions of health. But nc
bath should be taken while the patient il
weary from labor or excitement. Rest is thet
Indicated The bath should never be taken OF
a full stomach, nor immediately before a meal
as further power is needed for other purposes
under such circumstances
