The Seven Rests In Disease.

Mention is made by Professor Hilton, in his lectures on Rest and Pain,'' of the seven varieties of the former obtain able in the treatment of disease-name- ly: Mental rest, bodily rest, a combi- nation of those two, as in that most per feet state of rest called sleep; organic rest, as evidenced in the avoidance of exertion ill cardiac diseases; of talking, in affections of the respiratory tract, and in limiting, so far as possible, the act of deglutition Tn affections of the alimentary tract by the substitution of enemata: local rest, as secured by change in the position of body or limb, the use of pillows, cushions, etc.; di- etetic rest, by avoiding the too frequent use of food and drink; lastly, medicinal rest, in the relief of spasm by inhala- tions and the not too frequent adminis- tration of medicines to the prejudice of nutrients or stimulants. Professor Hill ton lays it down as a rule that, by a consideration of the manner in which these principles of rest may be best ap- piled in each special case of disease, are relief and comfort to be brought to the sufferer aud diseased action arrested.

A SPY'S CLOSE CALL.
He Was Rescued From Impending Death
 hx a Clever NeMSuunnr kuhe.

He Was Rescued From Impending Death
 by Clever Newspaper Iuse.
 On the battlefield of Antietam MT. Nc Cure met General William J. Palmer, then captain, and strongly urged him not to continue his movements as spy after Lee had crossed iHto Virginia, but the gallant young soldier gave no prom ise as to what he would be likely to do, and the very first night after Lee crossed the Potomac he was az; in .. Lees camp and brought back important information to General Mcclellan.
 Again he returned and entered the Confederate lines, and when he did not report after week it was assumed that he had been captured and would proba- bly be executed as a spy. He had been captured, was tried and condemned as d spy and sentenced to be executed, but hc was saved by clever newspaper device determined upon after conference in this city between President J. Edgar Thomson of the Pennsylvania railroad, Colonel Scott and MT. Mcclure. Thom- son took special interest ill Palmer, as he had been his secretary, and was much at tached to him.
 It was decided that Washington dis patches should be prepared for all of the Philadelphia morning papers announc- ing the arrival at the capital of Captain William J. Palmer, st, ing ill what par ticular lines of the enemy he had oper- ated, and adding that he had brought much important information that could not be given to the public at the time. These dispatches appeared next morning in all the Philadelphia papers, promi- nently displayed, and of course reached the southern lines within AS hours.
 The result was that Captain Palmer's identity was never established in Rich mond, and his execution was thus sus- pended. In little while, when some prisoners had been exchanged, there was vacancy made in the list of the exchanged men by death. Palmer's friends had him take the place and name of the dead soldier, and he thus escaped and returned to the service.-Philadelph Times.

Gold SeDaration.

What is claimed to be the most advan- tageous process for the separation of fine gold in placers comes from Montana. It is dry process, designed especially for localities distant from sufficient water for other methods, the ore or gravel be- ing run through crusher or steam dri- CT, after which it is dumped into the hopper of the separator. Dropping from this, it strikes a powerful blast of air, which carries it between two sets of slowly revolving copper cylinders coated with one-sixteenth of an inch of mer- cury.
 These cylinders are placed in two lines of three each, one above the other, so that the dust, driven by the air blast, passes between them in wavelike line. The ore first strikes a cylinder similar to the others, but revolving in an oppo- site direction, which catches the coarser gold and the nuggets. Then, passing between the other cylinders. all the gold is caught, however fine, and the waste is carried by the air blast to conveyor, which bears it away. The mercury on the cylinders is constantly renewed, so that fresh surface is always presented, and it is asserted that the process has been subjected to such various tests, and so successfully, as to demonstrate it's peculiar adaptability to the class of work in question.-New York Sun.

All Snakes Do Not Hiss.

The popular idea that all snakes hiss is incorrect when anacondas are in ques- tion, if we may believe close observer of the serpent family. The sound they make is more like a growl than hiss and has been well described by travel CT as ':low, roaring noise" Their pow CTS of deglutition are sufficiently won- derful to make exaggeration unneces- sary, credible witnesses testifying to the fact that one has been known to swaI- low horse, while bullocks are not in frequently attacked also. Few nonscien- tifc readers, by the way, are aware that not only do the jaw hinges of the boa tribe become dislocated in the act of swallowing large animal, subsequently resuming their proper position by means of the elastic connecting tendons, but that the skull bones separate centrally, 50 the whole constitutes q sort of quad rangular orifce with apparently indef- nite powers of expansion.-Detroit Free Press

II WONDER WHY.

wonder why hearts change so carelessly. Forgetful of the fires they have set Aglow in other hearts, Forgetful of the trembling lips once wet With dews of kisses. wonder why it omes-forgetfulness- To steal away the loyalty and truth That once were gloriued. Leaving alone Iorlnits shadow-ruth For those forgotten. l wonder why we cannot earnestly Command our loves as we command our
 lives
 And prove it sweet!y true That love remains to him who truly strives To grow in constancy. Iwonder why we never know ourselves Can never look into ourselves and see The hidden springs that wait A magic touch to burst forth nightly And 'whelm our startled souls. wonder why once earnest VOWS enshrined Within the inner temples of our love Grow faint with lapsing time, Like echoes from some whispering voice
 above
 The faroff floating clouds
 wonder why.

Helps Their Business.

"Are you aware of the fact" said a railroad insurance man, that every company in our line makes money when ever there is a big accident? It may seem strange, but the worse the acci- dent the better it is for us. You see it is this way: An appalling accident, we will say, takes place. It is nothing strange that we chance not to hold any risks there. But the next day every one buys an accident ticket, and the trav- cling public continues to insure their lives, but relax in a week or so until another accident frightens them into again buying a ticket. - Baltimore Herald.

Philadelphia Record on flag day." It was colonial dame Mistress Betty Ross, who made the first flag of our union. The poet has told us that when "Freedom from her mountain height unfurled her standard to the air, she tore the azure robe of night, and set the stars of glory there. "The actual facts, as told by local history, had none of this poetic frenzy. It was Washington who drafted the flag and it was Betty Ross who cut out the material and sewed it together. It is probable that neither the father of his country nor the comedy matron of Arch street had the least appreciation of the poetical meaning of their joint labors, for both were eminently matter-of-fact per- sons. Yet the after years have lent to their simple patriotic work all of the clamor that invests the achievement oi high deeds of heroism.

A curious fatality seems to have at tached itself to the family of Captain Wilson, the African fighter. All the members of it that have died have been the victims of accident or violence, ex- cept his mother, who succumbed to an attack of paralysis. The husbands of two of Captain Wilson's sisters were drowned, as were two brothers in South Africa. There remains now the eldest son, Dr. George Wilson, a pioneer of sanitary science and lover of fox hunting. New York Ledger

A Luxury of the Rich.

A modern treatment of nervous pros tration requires that the patient be put to bed in a quiet room and fed for weeks on enormous quantities of milk. He must take exercise, however, and this he does by proxy through the device of massage. He must do absolutely noth- ing for himself, and if his nose itches the nurse must scratch it. Patients under such treatment sometimes gain four or five pounds of flesh per week. It is of course a luxury of the rich.-Philadel- phia Ledger.
