Frost and Forest Trees.

The splitting of forest trees by frost
is popularity ascribed to the same cause
as the bursting of water pipes, namely,
the expansion of the sap in turning into
ice. But this is not the case. The split
ting. is due to the contraction Of the wood
by frost in a similar way, but in less de,
gree to what happens when the wood is
dried. When the thaw comes the trees
expand to their original dimensions. The
difference between the girths in October.

VIII the thermometer was below freezing,

Here is a floating paragraph that
seems as fun of possibilities as congress
is of improbablllties: "A southern ply
ician declares that music has medicinal
powers that have never been properly
utilized. He is of the opinion that in
certain diseases it is the best healer that
can be found and that it is especially
eficac!ous IN insanity and nervous troub-
les" The physician. who may himself
for adding music to the pharmacopaeia
from Congreve's assertion that Music
hath charms to sooth the savage breast;
to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak, g"
together with the ancient Chinese and
Indian superstitions that the devils Of
disease do not like a noise.
At any rate there may be something in
the doctors theory. Flute playing, as
we have learned from India. will charm
snakes. The superstition is, therefore,
that the music of the flute VIII be pre-
scribed for acute cases of delirium ire
mems.
The successful application of this new
system of therapeutics should boom the
manufacture OF flutes and swell the ranks
of the flute players labor union. Indeed.
it should revive the whole music trade,
from the piccolo to the big bass fiddle,
and from the man who kills the cats to
the man who draws melody from their
desiccated internal economy. For. of
course different diseases will require elf
ferent styles of music. and various
stages of the same disease will require
various musical airs. Thus the trombone,
the bagpipe, the oboe, the jewsharp, the
fiddle, the banjo, the guitar, etc. will be
placed under contribution, and Sweet
Marie,' "Molne Darling" Johnny
Comes Marching Home" Little Bunch
of wh:skers." and other gems will be
prescribed "quant. suf"
It is pity that the doctor has not
got his musical medicine already studied
out. There is a present and pressing
need for the bands to play something to
cure the senate of its b.ghead. and to re-
lieve the public Of that tired feeling.

day to begin talking about a silver party
The silver sentiment in this country is
declining rapidly. in this congress Mr.
Bland cannot get his committee together
to act upon a free silver coinage bill. and
a bill of that kind would not have ghost
of a chance OF passing the House.
In 1877 Mr. Bland moved in the House
to suspend the rules and pass bill 20
authorize the free coinage Of silver. and
it was carried by a vote Of 164 to a. What

his bill to authorize the free coinage of
silver. He succeeded in doing so by "a

brief history of silver in congress during

that the silver sentiment is on the decline.
