Universally Of the. Sign Language.

1t is a fact worth noting that the signs
used by the Indians of North America
are identical in may instances with those
employed by the deaf mutes Of today.
A short time ago a friend of the writer,
who had spent considerable time among
the Indians, but who had never talked
with a deaf mute before. conversed with
some pupils of the New York institution
by means of signs which he had learned
from the red men. Where are you 20
mgr and Il am going away on horse
back" were the same when given by the
deaf mutes and by the visitor.
Another instance showing the sign
language to be a universal one was
when the mother of the writer, herself
a deaf person, while attending a con-
vention of instructors of the deaf in
France, conversed on various topics
with a mute friend by means Of signs.
The French lady had no knowledge of
the English language, while the Ameri-
can knew hardly u word of French
Scribners.

Origin of Lynch Law"

Webster's Dictionary, title Lynch
law" says: THE practice of furnishing
men for crimes or offenses by private,
unauthorized persons, without a legal
trial. The term is said to be derived
from a Virginia farmer named Lynch,
who thus took the law into his own
hands," These are the main facts in re-
gard to the origin of this celebrated
claw" which, as a matter of fact, is not
'.law" at all.
In Campbell county, Va, some of the
rankest and most obnoxious Tories were
taken care of by law, but there were
many others not reachable by the statu-
tory enactment. This being the case,
Colonel Charles Lynch, Colonel Robert
Anderson, his brother-inlaw, and one
Galloway, a neighbor, determined to rid
their part of the county of its enemies.
They accordingly seized the leaders of
the several Tory factions and logged
them so severely that they were only too
glad of the chance offered them to
'~'leave, and leave for good"
This summary treatment having
proved SO effectual in Campbell county,
it was soon tried in other counties where
King George had the strongest follow
ing. Such procedures soon became
known as trials by Judge Lynch" and
the Justice" obtained in such courts as
Lynch law."-St. Louis Republic.

To Predict q Storm.

BY placing two iron bars at seven OF

and putting them in communication on

other side with a telephone, it is said that
a storm can be predicted twelve hours
ahead through a certain dead sound
heard in the receiver. = Philadelphia

Death 10 PraIrie Dogs.

To destroy prairie dogs infesting the
fields, the following method is recon-
mended by a Kansas man who has had
trouble with the little brutes. He says:
al have just come from the pasture
where I have been troubled for years
with a city OF forty acres Of prairie Gsoggs.
A few days ago I procured a remedy tor
the scourge and ] feel like prociaining
It from the housetops if necessary, and
here 1t is: Carbon bisulphide, adj
miuisfered thus: Take balls of cotton
batting-or cotton rags will do-enough
to have one for each hole, put them in q
basket with your jug or bottle OF carbon;
take one bail, pour on o little OF the
huid-a teaspoonfuI or so-roll 1t down
the hole and with q spade stop the hole,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Dog will sleep their
everlasting sleep. Out Of over DOC
holes, mot one lived to tell the tale.
Now, this is d sure remedy and very
easily applied, and worth a bunch Il put
in praefica."-St. Louis Republic.

The PeachbIoW porcelain.

The peachblow porcelain is OF
Chinese manufacture, and is about three
hundred years old. It Is not, as is some.
times supposed, the designation of a
particular shade of color, but a rare and
peculiar giaze, which not merely lovers
the surface of the vessel, but penetrates
the entire texture of the article, so that
il the same be broken, the internal
structure is identical with that of tie
surface. The method by which this re-
suit is reached is unknown, and much
money has been expended in vain to dis
cover it. The ware is, in a sense, there
fore, the result of a happy accident.
Specimens of it are rare in China to-day,
where it is priced as highly as anywhere
else. Most of that of which there Is
definite knowledge was taken from China
By the Dutch in The days when they
monopolized the trade with that coun-
try, and from Holland has made its way
over Europe. The specimens in this
country have almost all of them come
either from Holland direct, or by way
of France, whittier pieces of it were
early carried By the Dutch, arousing uu-
usual interest among the French potters.

Drugs for Emergencies.

The list Of drugs that will raise the
body temperature Is not very extended,
but many of them have powerful actions
in this respect and . general knowledge
OF them is OF value TO every intelligent
person. In sudden emergencies when
the temperature drops far below the
normal they may prove OF insstimable
value. The most common thing used
for this purpose ID alcohol when given
III small doses, but the effect on the
temperature Is only temporary, followed
generally BY q r~eactiye tendency which
carries the temperature the other way.
The drug that IS the most powerful in
this respect il b~elladonna, which will
rapidly raise the temperature OF the
body. simila to this the so called
chloride Of gold, winch If pushed to its
highest effect will not only r Use the
temperature, bat cause the so.called
ssanric fever" The body temperature
il also increased quite safely by cocaine,
caffeine, and compounds of drugs con-
tanning them. When administered in
large doses, phosphorous will Likewise
cause q marked ~eIevafiSa in the ten
peratura. These are really the most i'm
portant agents containing this peculiar
property, and they are generally the ones
to be relic d upon In sudden emergencies.

A UNIQUE Exhibition.

The Soldiers Company of London
have been exhibiting in their hall an ex-
tremelY interesting collection Of all kinds
of saddles and brides in use from the
earliest times to the present day. From
the Tower of London came q knights
fitting saddle of wood, covered with
leather, with an arrangement not unlike
stocks, into which the knights legs were
thrust, so that he might not topple over
when his horse wheeled about suddenly,
or a spear point struck with full force
against his armor plated ribs. OF Cava-
Iier and Cromwellian saddles there were
several examples. Sir Henry Halford
contributed the velvet saddles used by
Prince Rupert and Charles 1. at the bat
tie of Nasebyp and Colonel Somerville
the aecountremeuts of a war-horse which
once belonged to Oliver Cromwell. The
trappings in which Sir Edward Seymour
rode when he met the Prince of Orange
on the shores Of Torbay and the Duke
of Monmouth's gorgeous saddle were
near by. Close beside them was the ia.
vorite saddle of the famous jockey Fred
Archer. The Queen sent a marvellous
collection of Oriental saddles and trap
Iings, including those of Tippo sahib.
The Empress Eugene lent, among other
relics of the Napoleonie dynasty, velvet
saddle and trappings said to have been
used by Napoleon I. in his last cam
paign. Near them lay the square-cantled
saddle Of old Butcher, Marshal Vor-
wartz.e There were also many rare
specimens from private collections in
Guiding those Of Lord Rosebury, the
Duke OF Portland, the Duke of Somerset
and others of equal celebrity, while the
War Office lent specimens of military
saddiery from Cont mental Powers.
Modern cavalry saddles, with latest
equipments, were well represented

CONSTRUCTION OF AN 1cEHoUsE.

The way to MAKE an icehouse is TO
think about it in the sulmns1 and have
the preparations made before the winter.
The requisites are a dry foundation;
double walls filed in between with dry
sawdust, or other loose stuff that will
make a good non conductor OF the heat
and thus retain the cold; a tight and
well-ventilated roof ever it, and the ex.
clusion of water or air from every part
of it. Good ventilation over the top
covering, however, is indispensable, as
this keeps the covering dry, and dryness
is an absolute necessity. A refrigerator
il made in this way and on the same
principles. a box of any suitable shape
Is made with double sides and bottom
and cover. The space is filed with
powdered charcoal, and the inside is
well painted or lined with sheet zinc or
tin. The boz should stand twice as
high az it is wide each way, aud is di-
vided into two parts by metallic divis-
ion. The ice rests on this, and this
part should have a pipe to carry of the
water as the ice .melts. The lower
chamber is provided with shelves on
which the articles to be kept cool are
placed, and a door for access is fitted to
the front. The ice5ox on top is covered
by a lid or falling doot7-New York

Eastwood BLOSSOMS FOR HONEY,

The linden, or ommon basswood, is
NOT only a handsome tree, but its blos-
sons make excellent bee pasturage. It
S planted in some parts Of Europe for
this purpose chiefly, though the wood is
also valuable for some purposes. Honey
from Eastwood blossoms is to many tastes
bettek than that from white clover, and
IL more of it were marketed there would
soon be a great demand for it. Some
times q buyer secures a box of honey of
extra good flavor, but he does not know
how to duplicate it. Nine times out of
ten this extra good honey is from bass
wood blossoms, which are now in their
fullest bloom.-American C~ultivator.

Might Explain Memory,

A maker of test plates named Webb
MANI years ago made for the Army
Medical Museum at Washington q speci-
men Of microscopic writing ON glass.
This writing consists OF the words Of the
Lords prayer and occupies a rectangular
space met surfing 1-244x1-441 of an inch.
The lines of this writing are about as
broad as those on the test plates, which
are l-50, 600 of an inch apart. They are,
therefore. about as wide as average light
waves. Now, then, TO get some idea of
the magnitude of minuteness Of this
writing.
There are in the Lords Prayer 227 let
tiers, and If, As here, this number occu-
pies the Lbs, 654 of an inch, there
would be room in an entire square inch
for 20, 43l,45S sueh letters similarly
placed.
Now, the entire Bible, Old and New
Testanents, contains but 8, 566, $50 let.
tiers, and there would, therefore, be room
enough to write the entire Bible eight
times over on one square inch of glass,
in hes same rs the words of the
Lords Prayer have been written on this
specimen.
Such statement, without doubt, stag
gers the imagination, but the figures are
easily verified and are certainly correct,
and the whole statement at least serves
to bring home to us the limited nature
OF our mental capacities as compared
with the facts of the universe.
1t also furnishes an interesting sug-
gestlon in a very different subject.
1t has been often stated that a phvscal
basis OF memory may exist in permanent
structural modification of the brain mat
ter constituting the surface of the fur
rows. In a highly developed brain this
surface amounts to $40 square inches,
and it would therefore appear that the
entire memories of a lifetime might be
written out in the English language on
such q surface in characters capable of
mechanical execution, as those of the
Webb plate at Washington Lens.

fNFLUEECE Oh GOD UPON BUTTER.
AS to the influence of different foods
upon butter there are many conflicting
opinions. To throw sons light On this
subject five cows were fed at the Maine
Station three different rations during -
many periods.
The grain ration of the first period
consisted of q mixture of cottonseed
meal, cornmeaI and wheat bran; during
the second period Of peas aud barley and
during the third period Of Iinseed meal,
~cornuaeal and wheat bran.
The amount Of milk was diminished
somewhat in passing from the first TO the
second period, and increased slightly
after changing to the third period.
The composition Of the milk varied
but litfle. even less during the three
periods than Is often observed when the
ration Is not changed.
The relation iii quantity IN fats ID the
other solids varied somewhat, but appar-
emily without reference to the food.
While only limited conclusions can be
drawn from this experiment. Il appears
that quite radical changes caa be made
ii the kind al grain ration fel without
affecting the quality Of tie milk. u
was shown that the tendencV of butter
10 melt during hot weather may be IN"
Ananeed by the kind Of food, and also
tho degree Or hardness may BE- affected.
Il mixture of cottonseed meal OF lin
seed meal with eornmeaI and waeat bran,
especially the ~c0tt0nseed mixture, pro-
dnced butter less easily melted and OF q
more solid appearances than did the psas
