Ammonia as a Motive Power.

'The idea of using ammonia as a

said Mr. Charles B. Baker, ''but I'M
lessthe inventors of the system can

IN New York a short time ago which
was equipped with the ammonia ap-

capital to restore myself to a condi,

The gas from the ammonia provides
the motive power, and the car ran
fast and smoothly enough to please
every one. But the faster the car
went and the longer itran the more
offensive became the effiuvia from

People who Tell Snake Stories.

AS tour de force in the gentle art
of lying, the snake story is justly
esteemed. All the records in this
particular branch of sport are held
in the United States of America,
where proficiency at snakes is the
arst qualification of descriptive re-
porter. The old story of the two
snakes swallowing each other from
the tail till both disappeared; the
story of the snake that took its own
tail in its mouth and trundled after
its victim like a hoop; the story OF
the man who chopped a snake in halt
just as it was boiling a rat, so that
the rat merely toddled through the
foremost half and escaped-all these
have been beaten out of sight in
America.
At present Brazil claims the record
for absolute length of the snakes
themselves, but the Yankee snake
story man will soon claim that rec
ord too. He will explain that each
state pays a reward for ever snake
killed within its own limits, but that
there are always disputes between
different states. as to payment be
cause mostSof the snakes killed are
rather large, crawling across severa,
states at once.-Arthur Morrison il

Sick Headache,

The ordinary sick headache is one
that comes from a variety of causes.
and the treatments are likewise nu.
merous. But nearly all of them have
more or less neuralgia tendencies,
and those can generally be treated
very effectually with the bromides.
Bromide of lithium is especially good
in such headaches, as it induces sleep
and rest to the brain when given in
very small doses. Some inhale chic,
reform, but this is too dangerous a
substitute for any but an expert to
attempt to handle. The same is true
of the administration of cocaine,
choral and morphine. The use of
these soon cures the headache, but
they produce other diseases far more
dangerous. Caffein is very good, and
it is this principle in4tea and coffee
that makes these beverages so bene-
fetal. They will often relieve an at
tack as quickly as some of the more
powerful drugs. Blade.

An Instance of Sublime Bravery.

Corporal Tanner says that while he
and many others lay manned and
bleeding on the field after the second
Bull Run fight mortally wounded
comrade lay near them listening to
the piteous cries for water. The day
was terribly hot, and the unfortu-
nate victims of war had been exposed
to the rays of the sun for hours. The
comrade, though near death from a
CHASTITY shell wound which had torn
. away a part of his body, could not
longer withstand the heartrendinc
cries for water. Raising himself up
as well as he could, he saw an apple
tree some distance away from him.
Boys" he said in a feeble voice,
none of you can walk, neither can
l, but III crawl to that apple tree
and bring you some apples" After
what seemed days of absence the
wounded comrade returned with an
pies, which he gave to his helpless
soldier friends.
GOD alone knew" said Corporal
Tanner, what a charity that act
was to the dying and manned men,
whose parched Threats were like dire
full torments. The comrade had
dragged himself to the tree and back,
losing his own likelihood in the act.
He gave his last apple to a dyinQ
comrade, regardless of his own self.
Suddenly one poor fellow said tc

The Confederate white House.

The Confederate White House"
has been doing duty as public
school for many years 1t would be
pronounced queer looking anywhere
sATe In Richmond. The front on the
street is like that of any ordinary
square mansion, with the hall in the
center and with a fiat roof. But
passing directly through the hall to
what should be the rear one comes
out upon a wide gallery, having a
lofty roof level with the floor of the
third story, supported by massive
pillars. From the gallery You look
out upon great yard, shut off from
the side street by high brick wall.
The mansion faces in. It is impos-
ing when seen from the yard. The
ground floor is a better arrangement
than that of the other white House"
at Washington. Reception rooms
open into each other and into the
central hall, which alone is large
enough for any ordinary gathering,
while the hall and the surrounding
rooms afford a complete circuit for a
moving throng.
Different apartments are still
known as 1.-The cabinet room, !" 1.-THE
reception parlor," "the state dining
room, and SO on, as in the years of
1875. But all of them, to intents
and purposes, are still schoolrooms.
The walls are blackboards on which
is set the copy of Dare to Do Right, :"
and various problems in fractions go

greater than the whole are exhibited.

Is Reading Necessary to IuteIlieence9

As neauing Necessary to Intelligence?
Books cannot take the place of ex
perlence, even with those who can
read as they should-that is. who car
rely on themselves to ''disembowel'
a book accurately, number which
even among reading men is smaller
than the world suspects. Masses OF
accurate knowledge existed in the
world before books began-witness
the older triumphs of architecture
and hydraulics-and much of it was
handed on from generation to gener
alton, as the secrets of farming and
cattle breeding are now, without any
writing at all. Even knowledge
therefore, does not belong only to the
men of books, who in all depart
ments rather preserve than create it
while efficiency seems almost to be
