Queer Phenomena of Failing Bodies.

am unable 20 say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of a stone or
other heavy body dropped from the top
of high tower, says a writer in the
st. Louis Republic, but it is neverthe-
less a curious fact that such objects in
variably fall slightly to the east OF the
perpendicular line. Persons of inquir-
ing turn of mind who ask why this Is
IS il is may find an answer in the fol-
lowing: All falling bodies partake of
the earth's eastward motion to great
er or lesser extent. Therefore during
the time occupied by stone in falling
from the top OF high tower or other
erninence the earth's rotary motion has
carried it an appreciable distance TO
the east. The initial impetus of the
stone has carried it TO the eastward
also, therefore it strikes the earth to
the east of the perpendicular, varying
in degree according to the height from
which it has fallen. a curious article
on this subject may be found in the
Leipsic Zeitung of May 2, 1889, page 3
The author of the article, who has
given il the title Of The Nonperpen-
dicularity Of High Towers" claims

The leading agricultural journals
agree with the EAGLE ia the opinion that
the price of pork will continue high for
q year or two, as the demand for the
product is on tie increase while produc-
'icn has been on the decline. As applied
10 meats this is logical and unavoidable,
but 1T ought not to apply 10 lald. The
rotton crop is as large or larger this year
than ever before, and as the oil from the
reed constitutes fully fifty per cent of
tbe commercial lard, there is no excuse
for the price of that article of prime ne
cessity remaining where it is. or for its
ever going up there, as for that.

To Stop Bleeding at the Nose.

The only reliable remedy for bleeding
at the nose is to move the jaws rapidly.
This has been known for years, but q
modern fad has made it much more
easy to adhere to the prescription. If a
person who is suffering from severe
hemorrhage of this character will chew
gum viciously for a minute or two the
bleeding will entirely cease, and it is i'm
portant for him 10 keep some gum in his
pocket SO that when the feeling of full
ness which precedes the renewal of the
attack comes on he can avert the danger
in few minutes.

try Reproduced In the New World.
Marriage celebrations and marriage
customs followed IN the new world
many of the customs of the old world.
Sackposset, the drink of Shakespeare S
time, rich, thick concoction of boiled
ale, eggs and spices. was drunk at
New England weddings, as we learn
from the pages of Judge Sewalls
diary: but il did not furnish very gag
wassail, for the Puritan posset-drink-
ing was preceded and followed by the
singing of psalm-and such a psalm,
a long, tedious drawing performance
from The Bay Psalm Book.
The bride and groom and bridal
party walked in little procession to
the Westinghouse on the Sabbath fol-
lowing the marriage. We read in the
Sewall diary OF "a Sewal bride thus
coming out. or ''walking-out bride,
as it was called in Newburyport. Cot
ton Mather thought il cxpedient to
thus make public with due dignity the
marriage. In some communities the
attention of the interested public was
further drawn 20 the newly mari led
couple in what seems to us q very
comic fashion. On the sabbath fol-
lowing the wedding a gayly dressed
bride and groom occupied proniren,
seat in the gallery OF the meeting
house and in the middle of the sermon
they rose and slowly turned round 10
display complaecntly on every side
their wedding fnery.
In Larned's History Of Windbam
County. Conn" we read a description
Of such a scene IN Brooklyn, Conn.
Further attention was paid 20 the
bride By allowing her 70 choose the
text for the sermon preached the first
Sunday OF the couing-out OF the newly
married couple. Much ingenuity was
exercised in finding appropriate and
unusual Dible texts for these wed
ding sermons. The instances are well
known OF the marriage OF Parson
Smiths two daughters. one OF whom
selected the text Mary has chosen
that good part" while the daughter

ANALYSIS OF THE SENATE VOTE

An analysis of the vote in the senate
upon the repeal bill shows that the Dem
ocratic vote was tie, twenty-five for
and against repeal. OF the affirmative
the senators are from twentyone north
ern and nine southern states, represent
ing 40,2j0, 622 of population and $780,
744, 103, $50 of wealth; while the negative
vote was from eleven southern and nine
northern states, representing 81, ,661. 3S9
of population and $6,339, ,543,217 of
wealth. The senators from six states
divided, one from each voting for and
one against the bill, to-wit: Georgia,
Kentucky, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia.
The only section that gives ma jority
for repeal in the senate was the south.
Seven southern states voted solidly
solidly for it, while these were equally
divided. Of the thirty-seven votes
against repeal in tho senate nineteen
were from the southern states. OF the
remaining eighteen votes, seventeen
came from ten western states. Ii Is In
teresting to note that of eighteen west
ern states, two were divided, eight voted
solidly for repeal and eight voted solidly
against it.
From this showing, taking the votes
as rejecting the sentiment of the people
represented, two to one are in favor of
repeal, and of the wealth Of the country
the proportion represented in the affirma-
tive is more than three TO one. 1t also
demonstrates that the question at issue
Is neither strictly partisan nor sectional,
whatever other deductions may bemade.
