One Of our recently returned college bows
tells the following story OF the little daughter
Of one of the professors. During one of the
hot days which we had the first OF June, she
concluded that a breeze would be most refresh
ing. Accordingly she went to her room and
prayed for breeze. That afternoon perfect
tornado struck the town and made great havoc
As the little girl stood by the window and saw
trees being uprooted and blown away and
buildings overthrown, she exclaimed. "Oh,
what have doneP Oh, Lord. didn't want
quite so much" Down east the gale played a
peculiar prank with the drive on the Mscbias
river. 1t was In the big lake at the time and
the force Of the wind parted the line. which
held the extensive boom to the shore and
carried it safely across the lake and landed 1t
securely at its contemplated destination In the
"Narrows," saving thereby SO hours OF hard
''warping.' Search was made for this boom
in the morning, and when fousd as above,
cheer after cheer rent the air.

A Man Saved by a Seabird.

A vessel was plowing through the
waters of the South Atlantic when a cry
of "Man overboard!' was heard. The
man at the wheel brought the ship up in
the wind and boats were lowered, but by
the time this was accomplished the sailor
was n quarter ol mule astern.
He kept up, however, and as the boat
approached n big albatross was seen to
dart at him, and the next moment to
struggle: then away went the bird, flap
ping violently towing the sailor along the
surface.
The men had to pull hard to gain upon
it, and then it was found that the sailor
was uninjured and perhaps had been
saved by the bird.
He was almost exhausted when the
albatross flew over him in evident curl
osity: as it passed he seized its feet.
The bird, in it's fear and terror, was
strong enough to tow him along the sur
face ut u rapid rate Boston Globe.

whats fiat wheel ?" asked the
scribe. Listen" said the railroad man.
"You hear that rapid pat-pat-pat of
the wheel? That's caused by the fat
wheel. On spot on the surface of the
wheel fiat place is worn. 1t may be
done, and is generally, by setting up n
brake so tight that the wheel slips on the
rail. Let it slip but the least, yet
small place no larger than a silver dollar
will be worn on the wheel. The next
time the brake is set up hard the wheel
stops with that same place on the rail,
and it is worn larger. By the time it is
couple of inches in diameter it begins
to pound every time the wheel turns.
Instead of running true circle as it re-
wolves, the wheel strikes fiat on the rail
when the fiat spot is reached. The con-
sequence is that when the fiat spot has
grown to be three or four inches across
it is very dangerous thing. Every
stroke against the rail by the fiat side of
the wheel is liable to break the wheel
and ditch the train.
Around the shops and at nearly every
cripple track in the railroad world these
flat wheels may be seen. AS soon as one
is discovered the pair of wheels affected
is taken out and sent to the junk track to
be cast into new machinery. The fiat
spots are plainly perceptible, but they
would hardly be judged by the uniniti-
ated TO be of sufficient Importance to bo
one of the most dangerous elements OF
railroading, yet such is the case.

japanese Myths.

No people in the world civilized or
savage, believe in the existence of so
many mythical, half-supernatural crea-
lures as do the Japanese. For instance,
they think there is wondrous tiger, of
more then half-human intelligence, that
lives to be 1000 years old and turns as
white as polar bear. They also believe
in species of fox which, if it lives to be
fifty years old without having been
chased by dog, transforms himself into
beautiful women. This same fox, if he
lives to the age of 100 years, gains some
new powers, among which is that of
becoming a wonderful wizard When
he reaches the age of 1000 years, he
becomes celestial fox with nine golden
colored tails, and has the power Of going
TO heaven whenever he chooses. They
also believe in multitude of animals
distinguished mainly by their monstrous
size, or by the multiplication of their
members. Among these are serpents 800
feet long and large enough to swallow an
elephant, foxes with eight legs, monkeys
with four ears, fishes with ten heads at
tached to one body the flesh of which is q
cure for boils. They also believe in the
existence of crane which, after it has
reached the age of 600 years, has no need
of any sustenance except water. Their
mythical dragon has the head of a camel
the horns of deer, the eyes of demon,
the ears of I'm OK, the body of a serpent,
the scales of fish and claws and wings

The increase of women doctors in New
York lately has been so marked as to
attract the attention of tho press of that
city to the fact. A great many of them
are now admitted us staff physicians to
tho different hospitals and dispensarics
and where they are doing wonderfully
good work. One great advantage that
they seem to have over their rivals of
the other sex is that they can tack ont
their sign and then go as professional
nurses until husines comes to them. The
male doctor often has to starvo through
course of year or two, and then he
frequently fails to make enough to keep
the pot boiling. Women doctors are gen
orally proficient nurses, and they are
trained by nature aud study to care for
tho sick. They can tIko patient and
prescribe for him, aud then watch by
the bedside until all is over. At the end
double fees are demnndod- the regular
Doctors fees for prescribing and then
the nurses sniary for watching and
nursing the patien; according to the pre-.
scriptions made out by horscf. 1'hero
is, no doubt, but II great advantage is OBJ
tanned in this way, and tho nurse and
doctor arc both held responsible for any
mistake. Among babies and women the
female doctor has field which sic is
gradually making u speciality and where,
too, it may be added, sho is especially
welcomed by those who choose to employ
her. Chicago Post.

Does Tea Make Lunaticss

~ never knew of case where a man
or woman's insanity could be traced
directly to the drinking Of tea," said DR..
Brewer, of State street. to an Evening
News reporter recently, when his atten-
ton was called to the paragraph in the
London Lancet, wherein woman who
murdered their two children was sup
posed to be insane through drinking tea
to excess.
al have no doubt as to the injurious
ness of excessive tea-drinking, and be-
lieve that with persons mentally wrong
their case is much aggravated by its
use. Still, take -tasters; l never
heard of one in that business becoming
insane, although have known many who
have wrecked their nervous systems in
their calling"
DIR. Lyman, of No. 69 Randolph street,
said: Undoubtedly tea-drinking is tho
cause of many nervous troubles. 1t pro-
duces chronic indigestion which is GER
tainly apt to break down ones system.
l believe person with a tendency to-
wards insanity would have his or her con-
dition seriously aggravated by using tea
in large quantities. A wit has made the
remark that the pessimism of the Russians
is largely due to their tea-drinking habits,
and | quite believe it. Still do not think
insanity would arise from this habit alone.
Combined with other abuses of the system
it certainly would have disastrous effect
and might undoubtedly undermine the in
stitution. l believe, as the Lancet says,
that many of tho ailments from which
women suffer are at least aggravated by
the excessive use of tea."- Chicago

NEWSPAPERS FOR GIRLS.

Miss Clara Conway, principal of the
Conway Institute, at Memphis, keeps IN
the reading-room of her school all the
leading newspapers on file, and half of
the reading lessons in each class are taken
from some one of these. At first it was
the custom of Miss Conway to expurgate
the papers-aftcr Professor RoIfe's
fashion of treating Shakespeare--but
lately she has adopted the more liberal
method of opening the paper in class
just as it comes from the press, and de-
pending upon herself on the moment to
make selections. 1t is pity Miss Con-
ways admirable method OF teaching the
contemporary history of the day is not
in general use in schools. 1t is oven Il

road newspaper at home. At one OF
tho finc private schools in this CITY oacl
class has bulletin board, and when the
pupils como in tho morning each ono is
required to write on tho board an item of
news from the morning paper. At one

THE RUSSIAN BLOUSE.

One of the novelties of the winter is
the Russian blouse of cloth or velvet
belted closely and edged with fur This
new blouse is long, straight garment
of simplest shape belted all around, or
else the back may be fitted and the front
left without darts, its fullness confined
by the belt giving blouse effect. Still
another model for the back, falling in
Wattoau-like fullness, with bias seam
down the middle, tapering it narrowly at
the top. A seal brown cloth dress, with
bell skirt edged with mink fur, has u
blouse confined by belt of fur; border
of fur is on the lower edge, and two col
lars falling to the top of the sleeves are
also edged with fur. A green velvet
with sable belt and border, is worn with
a skirt of rich brocade, while another cos
tune has light sage green velvet for the
belted blouse, with sleeves and skirt of
brown cloth.
In Paris, bodices for the house are
made in the Russian blouse fashion, of
rich brocades that initiate antique stuh's
in design and color, or else of thick
ribbed silks of pale tints or pure white.

Lord Harrington, who succeeds to
the Dukedom of Devonshire, visited
this country during the war and made
himself rather conspicuous here by
his strong Southern sympathies. He
even went so far as to appear at a
ball in New York wearing the colors
of the Confederacy in his buttonhole.
This fact did not prevent his receiv-
ing a cordial reception at the White
House, however. He was presented
to President Lincoln with considera-
BILE ceremony, and the President
grasplng his Lordship by the hand

MODERN NECKLACES.

The modern necklace becomes more
and more resplendent; still there is a
fancy for the simple old necklets that
girls wore fifty years ago, where tiny
gold chain supports heart or locket.
The prettiest of these necklets have an
enamelled flower, diamond tipped and
with a diamond heart. Such a pretty
one the girls with sweethearts are wear

enamelled in the exact gray green tints
of the leaf and sparkling with diamond

gems, whose very names ring strange
and Old World, are worn by young ladies
of refined taste, instead of the more
ordinary diamond necklace st. Louis

Their Ear Drums Burst.

The trial of the new heavy guns of the
United States monitor Miantonomoh at
Gardeners Bay, Long Island, was at
tended with u most peculiar accident to
three of the officers of that vessel, all of
whom had their ear drums burst by the
concussion following heavy discharge.
Surgeon Kand refused to discuss the sub
ject beyond saying that had proper care
been exercised the accident would not
have happened.
AS one of the first precautions taught
in the navy is to stand on tiptoe with
mouth open when heavy guns are being
fired, there was considerable surprise at
the navy yard upon learning of the acoi-
dent. Unless the injured men had par
ticularly sensitive car drums the accident
could not have happened without care

Insanity and Genius.

A good deal of comment has been ex-
cited by the publication in English of
Professor Lombrosos work on INSANITY
and Genius" 1t is q work in which the
author claims that genius is the evidence
of degencrative taint, and is, in fact
an "epileptoid dcgcneratiye psychosis. "
We trust that our readers will not be
made to feel sense of apprehension
concerning their own mental soundness
by Professor Lolnbroso's thesis, says
tho Scientific American. 1t is one that
has been worked at before by Moreau de
Tours and q good many others, and
neither the world in general nor tho medi-
cal profession in particular has been
seriously impressed by it. Men of gonius
huvo not, as II rule. been mad, except
with an insanity of scientific and schol-
astic kind, such us the world really needs
more of. The ecccntricitios, monomanias,
and emotional exatations of genius have
been incidental, and were not the basis of
their character and temperament. Insan-
ity is essentially Ii non productive con-
dition. No insane man has ever made Il
great discovery and originated great
thoughts, or, by his own laborious efforts,
changed tho tide OF human events. In
sanity is condition in which the power
of adjusting ones sclt and ones conduct
to the environment is lost. Surely there
is no loss of this kind shown in tho work
or genius. Contclnporaaeous science
has doalt somewhat kindly with Lom-
broso for the valuable work he has done
and tho new fields of study he has opened.
Bnt tho Medical Record thinks that when
he mukos out Newton and Luther insane,
and Christ u paranoiac, one must think
that tho professor himself has neither
sanity nor genius.

The eorong ,ooy,

curing it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,

perhaps, palliate for a time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is a proved one.
It's with DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem

manently, by its mild, soothing,

the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
