Historical Difficulties.

What place, if any, does history hold among the sciences9 Is there anything in the phenomena which she investigates or in the means of investigation at her dis posal, which should exclude her from such place altogetherP Let us begin by making some concessions. The historical student labors under several serious dift- oulties and is exposed to some peculiar dangers. His first and most obvious dith- oulty arises from lack of information. The student of modern history feels this comparatively little; the medisvalist feels it more; the student of antiquity, except for few short periods in the history of Greece and Rome, feels 1t most of all. How little we know of ancient Assyria and ancient Egyptl How little can we hope to know How dark are the dark ages, how shadowy the personalities of Pericles and Justinian, of Attila and Theo- doriol How many empires have perished, like the Mexican, and left scarce wreck behindl How small portion of the world is illuminated at any one epoch by the light of recorded factl But such gaps are not found in history alone. Even astron- omy has it's dark spots. There arc shady spaces, to say the least, in evolutionary biology There survive only tantalizing fragments of the old Etruscan tongue. Shall we ever know what is on the other side of the moon or bridge the gulf be- tween organic or inorganic matter?-Na- tional Review.

 Dr. May has found gold on his land.
 Camden, Wilcox county, is making an
 effort to get the state industrial school for

 The venerable Dr. A. H. Mitchell has
 been confined to his bed and room ever
 since his fall on the ice at Bessemer some
 weeks ago. He has suffered much, but Is now improving and hopes to be able to go to his home in Summerfield in 8 few days. He is at this time at Brookwood. North Alabama ought to have an exhibit do for the south really more good than the Chicago fair; will largely be made up of southern exhibits and will attract greater attention in this direction. Marshall county ought to be represented at the fair. -Guntersville Democrat.

Deadliest Poison Known.

The most deadly poison is that which was discovered by Professor Frazer of Ed inburgh and known as shophanthidin, an African plant. As little as one thousand millionth part of an ounce of crystallized shophanthidin produces distinctly in furious effect upon the heart, and very small quantity Is fatal.
 Another deadly poison is cyanogen gas, the principal ingredient of hydrocyanic or prussic acid. At ordinary temperatures it is simply a gas, but can be condensed by cold and pressure into a thin, colorless liquid and becomes solid at 30 degrees F. The inhalation in its gaseous state of a most minute quantity would cause instant death
 One of the most deadly poisons is ar seniureted hydrogen, which is formed by decomposing an alloy of arsenic and zinc with sulphuric acid. It is colorless gas, possessing fetid odor of garlic, and acts as a most deadly poison. Magazine.

On the Arabian Sea.

On this Arabian sea in the spring season you can safely drift along the coast in an open boat. The land breeze after mid night until early morning and that from the sea in the afternoon and evening suffice to fill the sail and keep gentle way on the craft. The servants are of course, all sick and lying prone in the bow, and, wrapped in a blanket in the stern, the master must be content to mako his meals of timed soup or bread and cocoa heated over the boatman's smoldering embers. But how charming is the natural beauty of tho surroundingsl Such as to compen- sate the traveller for all physical discom- forts.
 Close by the cliffs drop abruptly into the water clothed in some places with the feathery bamboo; the wavelets splash the rocks with blue light; above here and there on the commanding headlands are the old forts, which once echoed with the sound of cannon, but now the home of the pan ther and hyena, grass grown and disfgured in their outlines by the assaults of scores of monsoon rains; in the deep ravines be- low their ranges nestle the hamlets of the cultiyators, who now, undisturbed by the freebooters, pursue their husbandry be- heath the grateful shade of the trees Gentleman's Magazine.

THE LAST FIRE
Had Been Kindled When the Islian Reached a Port of Safety-Terrible
 Experience on the Ocean.

NORFOLK, Va. March IA special from
 Newport News to the Landmark says:
 After being out forty-three days the
 steamer Islian came up to her pier this
 morning at 8 o'clock with 2200 tons of cargo
 from Liverpool. Captain Creamer gave
 your correspondent the following history of
 his long voyages
 "We left Liverpool at midpight on the
 night of the 24th Of January and had very severe weather coming down the channel, being obliged to carry our pilot to Water ford island, as it was impossible to land him at the Liverpool pilot station on ac- count of the heavy weather.
 ''The storm continued until the 27th, when we had 1t fair until February 2, when | we again encountered a heavy gale from l the northwest lasting nearly three weeks, | it being so severe at times that my snip was | obliged to stop and we were at the mercy of l the sea.
 l "We were eco miles from Bermuda on February 10, for which point we were 1 making, as there were only about S5O tons 1 of coal on board and we were burning l thirty five tons day.
 "Up to the 20th we experienced the most | severe gales and the storm was indescrlba- l ble. For five days we had nc fire at all. If | we had kept up steam during this weather 1 and had tried to make Bermuda we would
 never have gotten into port. On the night l of the 22d we were again compelled 10 stop, 1 letting our fires go out again.
 | "AL midnight on the 23i the ship started
 again. The wind being in our favor, we | set all available sail and put every man to | work breaking up between decks, bulk. heuds, cargo, batting, spars, matches, and | any available wood. On the morning ol | the 26th we reached Bermuda, with the
 last stick of wood burnt, and could not l possibly have gone ten miles further. | "Consderipg the very severe weather l the Isliau encountered, and not being un ;
 der control, proves her to be staunch and
 seaworthy vessel, notwithstanding what
 has been published to the contrary. Her l cargo is in good condition and you can see l she is none the worse for wear. Her engines
 are good, and the chief engineer is worthy l of praise for the manner in which he l handled her.

AFTER A BITTER EXPERIENCE, IS THE
 SCHOONER GEORGIA L. DICKSON.
 NORFOLK, Va., March 7.-The schooner Georgia l.. Dickson. Captain Kelly. which left Clark's Cove, Me, on January 30, with a cargo of ice, bound for Norfolk. and which vessel was given up as lost, arrived here tonight after an eyentful voyage, re- plete with thrilling incidents, one of which was the rescue of the crew of the sinking schooner John w. Moore on February 16 in midocean. Captain Kelly was taken 10 St. Vincent's hospital upon his arrival here.
 The Dickson after leaving Maine en- countered the most severe storms raging at the time, and for the most part was at the mercy of the winds and waves. On the 18th, when in latitude 36.83, longitude 66. 38, she saw signals of distress and bore down on the vessel, which proved to be the Philadelphia schooner John w. Moore, from Brunswick, with railroad ties, and which was in sinking condition. The crew were taken off and the vessel aban- doned. The Dickson then headed for this port, and after a very rough voyage reached here tonight, being lowed in by the tug Mercy B.

GRADUALLY FADING

IS THE PREMATURE REVOLT IN THE LITTLE
 ISLE IN THE GULF.
 HAVANA, March 7.-General Garrich has arrived at Baire, where he met only the mayor and municipal authorities and few private citizens. The insurgents left the town twenty four hours before he arrived. Their force was smaller than at the be-. ginning of the week, and it is supposed that it has been weakened by assertions. Troops have started in pursuit.
 It is believed that the negroes of the Guantanamo band will proceed to the coast with the officers who were wounded in a recent fight.
 Mataga's insurgent band is said to be torn with domestic dissensions. Those in- surgents who have surrendered say that all the insurgents have been discouraged by the general condemnation of the uprising. They had expected more support from the people of the cities.

ON EXCELLENT TERMS.

MADRID, March 7.-Deputy Lena ques- toned the government in the cortes today as to the attitude of the United States toward Spain in the matter of the Cuban insurrection. Senor AbsrzuZa, minister of colonies, replied that he had conferred with United States Minister Taylor only as to the penalties recently in nflicted upon Americans in Cuba. The general rela- tions between the two coun- tries were cordial, as proved by the manner in which the Neweva Aspagnia was received at Tampa. The coinmander of the gun boat had reported to the local officials, who had shown the greatest good will to the Spaniards. In the senate Pre- mier Sagasta was asked whether or not the United States had offered to help quell the revolt in Cuba. He answered that the re- port to this effect was untrue, adding that Spain needed no assistance in subduing the ineurgants

THE LOGS LEAP.
A Woodman's Wonderful Escape From a
 Threatened Death.

A Woodman's Wonderful Escape From a
 Threatened Death.
 NO were rolling logs down bluff into the St. John river, below Grand Falls, said lumberman. The bluff was about 40 rods up from the river, steep and worn pretty smooth by tho log rolling. A log started over tho brink would roll with tremendous velocity down that sharp de- scent Toward the foot of the hill there was a slight ridge, and now and then log would strike 1t and go bounding into the air and land well into the riyer.r
 It was a dry time that May, and the rolling logs made dusty work. The dust was so thick sometimes that we almost lost sight of the logs before they reached the bottom. If a log was started right, it generally followed pretty straight course down the bluff, but once in awhile a crooked one went slowing, or another would get the advantage of the rollers and start off end first and so roll on curve and generally not reach the bottom, but lodge perhaps half way down. Some ono would then have to go down andsdis- ? lodgo it. -FssFl'zas~.
 One day crooked log slowed and lodged. Tim Field went down to straight en it and send it on it's course While he
 
 They stopped on the brink and waited for Tim to get out of tho way, balancing their big log with their "peevies.
 They were bending forward, watching Tim, when somehow one of tho ''peevies" slipped, and the log started. The second man withdrew his tool to savo himself from being hurled along with it. A cry of alarm broke from them.
 "Timl Oh, Timl Look outi'
 There was no time for the poor fellow to jump aside, and no human power could save him from being crushed by that huge descending log. We stood, horror stricken, peering over the edge of the bluff.
 Downward rolled the log, cloud of dust rising in its wake. For dozen rods itsrolled, gaining velocity as it descended, and then suddenly it struck a rock or some obstruction and gave great bound high over Tim's head, and struck the ground below, whence it rolled and tum- --bled to the foot.
 Tim was untouched.
 Although we rolled thousands of logs flown that same bluff never saw seo- ond log bound into the air like that one. It seemed to us that tho hand of Provi- dence had interfered. d.-Montreal Star.

THE OFFICE TOWEL.
KNo4 More Danger of Infection In 1t Than
 In Many Other Things.

KNo4 More Danger of Infection In 1t Than In Many Other Things. The Lancet, which is never happy un- less discovering sanitary sermons in stones andi infection in everything, has fallen $ foul of the club towel. suppose there is no doubt that the club towel is never, in the strict sense of the term, washed. If there were no other reason for that, suf- ficient one would be found in the fact that the clubs do not pay enough to permit of the washing being more than matter of form.
 j It occurs to me, however, that if a man were so highly infected with any disease that by merely wiping his hands on towel ho could communicate the com plaint to the next man who used the arti- cle, after it had been dipped in water and mangled in the interval, the chances are that he would disseminate infection in many other ways, whatever happened to the towel. There would certainly be q risk in handling newspaper after him, and he might contaminate the billiard cloth or even the cues not to mention the pens and the plotting papor.
 If it is really necessary to take precau- tions against fellow members in this con- dition, we had better require every man to produce doctors certificate before he en- ters the club premises. London Truth.
