The Cause of pain.

The only answer that can be given is
that it is probably over-stimulation of
that part of the brain where conscious
ness exists.
All sensations, even pleasant ones, be-
come painful when excessive, and there
is no definite characteristic that separ-
ates pain from pleasure, for what is pain
full at one time may be pleasant at anoth.
er, and the difference lies in the sensi-
tiveness of the conscious center and not
in the external cause.
Many sights and noises, for example,
that are pleasant to healthy man may
become most painful to a sick one, and
what is pleasant taste or smell to hun
cry man may be painful and repusive to
a full one. Excessive stimulation pro-
ducing pain may be excited in the brain
itself, as when man thinks" he is in
pain, and the intelligence may elaborate
a simple stimulus into painful one, as
when cruel sight causes pain.
In fact, any external or internal stimu-
lus may produce over-stimulation of the
conscious center, and SO become the i'm
mediate cause of pain.

Moths deposit their eggs in the spring,
and this, therefore, is the proper time to
take precautions against their ravages
among goods which contain wool. 1t is
not the moth, but the moth maggot, that
does the mischief The moths fly through
the house in April and continue some
times as late as August, seeking places
in which to lay eggs. There are from
dozen to about seyenty-five OF these eggs
in each nest, which hatch after while
into small white worms. These worms
devote their lives to eating the material
in which they find themselves. AS to
remedies, almost every one has some
thing to recommend, but all sof the reme-
dies are of little account after the moth
egg has been laid. There are things like
cedar, camphor, and tobacco, the odor OF
which is disagreeable to the moth, and
when the female is looking for place to
deposit her eggs, she may be deferred
from laying them near these substances,
but If the eggs are really laid, the grub
will pursue Its destructive work without
paying any attention to the odors, and
would do so were the smell many times
more pungent. The principal attention
should therefore be given to keeping the
moths out.
IL goods are in stock and likely to re.
main, some of them, at least, through tbs
summer, better thoroughly beat them

A church built of coral is one of the
curiosities OF the Isle of Maize, one OF the
Seychelles islands in the Indian ocean.
The Seychelles islands, which are sup
posed by many to be the site OF the Eden
of the Old Testament, form an archipela-
go of la islands, and are situated about
l400 miles east of Alden and 1000 miles OF
Zanzibar. They rise steeply out of the
sea, eliminating in the Isle of Maize,
which is about 5000 feet above the level
OF the ocean, and is nearly the center of
the group.
All these islands are of coral growth.
The houses are built OF species OF mass
i've coral hewn into square blocks, which
glisten like white marble and show them
selves to the utmost advantage in the var
ious tinted green of the thick tropical
palms, whose immense fern-like leaves
give pleasant and much needed shade.
These palms grow as high as 100 feet
or more, overlapping both the houses and
the coral built church. They line the
sea shore and cover the mountains, form
ing in many places extensive forests.

The general public has NJ idea what
driving the engines OF express trains
means. It is no exaggeration to say that
while the train is running the engineers
whole life is in his work, and that he has
no time to think OF anything else but the
signal ahead.
An express train often travels at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, and then
signals will be passed every four minutes,
and it can readily be understood that an
engine travelling at that high rate of speed
will require constant attention.
The strain on a mans mind working
an engine long distance without stop
ping is very great, and could not be en-
dured for many hours together; besides
it would not be safe for an engine to tray
ell more than $50 miles without being ex-
amined, and that distance is about the
maximum any engine runs on one jour
ney.
Two such journeys is good days work
for both man and engine. The average
time on duty for the men is nine hours a
day, beyond which they are paid over
time. When they are not running their
time is devoted to overhauling the engine.
