Carriers and Matrimony.

At all times garters have been con-
sidered very important details of WON
ans dress, and always associated in
some manner with matrimony. Down
through half dozen centuries comes
to us the custom practiced to-day of
having the garters as finishing touch

into place Is conceded TO stand the best
possible chance of wedding happily be-

the upper half in tiny jewels and gold

preserved the bridal garters of a titled
English ancestress. These are Of white
silk, nearly two inches broad, and dec.
Drated with round buttons made of seed
pearls, from which suspend pearl cords
and tassels two inches long.

One of the prettiest microscopical
studies is the examination of the lungs
of plant. Most people do not know
that a plant has lungs, but it has, and
its lungs are in its leaves. Examined
through u high power microscope,
every leaf will show thousands upon
thousands of openings, infinitely small
of course, but each provided with lips
which, in many species, are continu
ally opening and closing. These open.
ings lead to tiny cavities in the body
of the leaf, and by the opening and
closing of the cavity air is continually
passing In and out, so that the act of
respiration is constantly going on. The
sap of the plant is thus purified, just
as the blood Of an animal is cleared OF
Impurities by passing through the lungs
and an average-sized tree will therefore
in the course of a day do as much
breathing as man.

''F'ai.''

The derivation of this word is posi-.
bly, traceable in the Welsh language.
By the law of mutation of initial con-
sonants peculiar to that tongue the
root words ffedd and medd are con-
vertible terms. Their essential mean.
ing is possession transitive or intran-
sitive, possession of something, or the
act of being possessed or engrossed by
some occupation or vice. Welsh medd,
and Irish, Sanskrit and English mad
have similar meanings, and are proba-
bly, kindred words. The word mud is
not common in Teutonic idioms, so
that the Anglo-Saxons probably bor-
rowed it from the Welsh. Fad is,
therefore, equally derivable IRON fI'edd.
Proximately, of course, it comes from
the Midland dialects, and ultimately
from some root word common to many
members OF the Aryan family OF
speech. 1t would be strange il the
two words, mad and fad, having a
similar meaning, should be traceable
TO the same root. Notes and Queries.

Sale AT Eighty Miles an iIonr.

The races between trains on the
railways between London aud Aber-
deem, Scotland, have evoked discus
sion as to the dangers to passengers
and the nervous STRAIN on the engin-
eers.
The best opinion published comes
from a nun who for eleven years was
the engineer Of an express train on
the New York Central Railroad. He
says he never met an engineer who
preferred slow to fast train. II is
utter rubbish, he declares, to say that
a fast train entails n greater strain on
the nerves. The knowledge that pre-
cautions are taken to keep the line
clear for flyers takes deal of anxiety
from the engineers mind. As clnss,
they are notably healthy and long
lived.
This American engineer says he
knows n number cf engineers who re-
tired when they were seventy years
old, and they were then enjoying ro-
bust health. One of the most daring
engineers in the United States is sixty
three years old, AMI is the picture of
health. Accidents to trains when
running at high speed are exceedingly
rare. With good roads and rolling
stock, accidents ought never to occur,

to run eighty miles an hour New

Attempt to RcsusItntc a Boy.

AT Heffron's undertaking rooms m
effort was made yesterday TO bring
heck TO life Louis Fisher, aged nine
years, who was drowned in the lake
on the previous afternoon.
DIR. Whitney, n physician living on
Wilson avenue, claims that he himself
was drowned at one period uf his life,
and after being dead more than an
hour animation was by certain meth
cd restored. DIR. Whitney has for
some time desired TO put this process
To another test, but never availed him
self OF the opportunity until yester.
day. His theory is that n corpse can
be resuscitated, providing there are
no internal injuries. Ivy placing the
entire body, except the eyes, nose and
mouth, in bath of water heated to
constant temperature of 10 degrees
Fahrenheit, and leaving it there for Mt
least five hours. An ordinary bath
tub was used yesterday. When the
water had reached the proper temper
nture DIR. Whitney and his assistant,
carefully deposited the body in the
tub. II was then about IL o'clock in
the morning, and from that time until
o'clock, when the experiment was
given up, the condition of the corpse
was studiously watched by DIR. Whit
ney. Although the experiment was
failure, at times the blool was started
to circulate and the face and lips as
sumed the natural color. II is said
that the heart was felt to throb sever
nj times. When the test was over DR..
Whitney claimed it was not successful
because the boys body was rolled over
barrel after the drowning, thus
causing internal injuries. Cleveland

As,Oundel by Mathematics.

A cattle dealer approached Sam Fer.
guson, colored man of Brownsville,
and proposed buying yoke of oxen
which Ferguson owned. One of the
steers was thin and the dealer made
him an offer of two cents pound for
the best one, or would take them both
for one cent pound. Ferguson &C.
cepted the latter proposition. When
the oxen were weighed, the best one
tipped the beam at 1000 pounds, the
other one at 800 pounds, making 1900
pounds, which at cent pound
amounted to SIS. The best OK at two
cents pound would have amounted
to $50. Thus Ferguson is out 50 aud
