An Ivory Mat.

Many people have never even heard
of such a thing, and it is not to be won
dered at, for these mats are exceedingly
rare, and it is said by those who know
that only three of these beautiful curl
osities exist in the whole world. The
one we now write about is the largest
one made. 1t measures s by 4 feet,
and though made in small hill state
in the north of India has an almost
Greek design for its border 1t was
only used on state occasions, when
the rajah sat OH it to sign important
documents. The original cost of tho
mat is fabulous, for 6,400 pounds of
ivory were used i'm its manufacture.
The finest strips of ivory must have
been taken off the tusks, as the mat is
as flexible as woven stuff and beauti
fully fine.-Ladies' Pictorial.

Grayitation and the Blood,

We ordinarily think of the attraction
of gravitation only as producing what
we call weight, and as governing the
motion of the earth and other planets in
their orbits. But gravitation acts in q
very important manner upon the circu-
lation of the blood in our veins and ar
teries An elaborate series of expert
ments has recently been carried ont in
England to determine just what effect
gravitation exercises in this respect, and
how its disturbing influence is compen-
stated in the bodily mechanism
1t has been found that man probably
possesses a more complete compensation
of this kind than any other animal, and
that the monkey stands in this respect
next to man.
Injuries to the spinal cord, asphyxia,
and poisoning by chloroform or curare
paralyze, more or less completely, the
power of compensation, and then the in
f1uence of gravitation on the circulation
of the blood may become o serious dan
ger.
In such case death is more likely to
result, according to the conclusions Of
Professor Leonard Hill, if the body is
placed i'll such Il position that the alb
domen is at IA lower level than the heart.
But the danger may be diminished or
removed either by elevating the abdo-
men or by COMPRISING it so as to drive
the blood up to the heart. When the
heart itself, however, has been injured,
as by chloroform, there is danger in fore
ing the blood too rapidly into it.
Professor Hill finds that, generally
speaking, the best position for the body,
when the power of compensation for the
effects of gravitation has been arrested,
is with the feet up instead of with the
feet down. Youth S Companion.

The Hamadryad.

The keeper at the zoo, describing to
me the hamadryad's appearance when it
raised itself to strike, said it was
proud" and "bold looking. It's ac-
ton was as swift as thought and looked
almost like spring from the ground.
How high when irritated the terrific
thing can strike is not known, but no
other instance is authenticated of a
snake making good blow so high as
four feet from the ground, while marks
on the glass of its cage show that the
reptile has, in its endeavors to escape
from confinement, reached up to the
height of nine feet
Surprising, then, that we were, in
clined to believe all that the natives of
India say about it-that it is so fierce as
to attack man at sight, so vindictive as
to follow him with logged resolution
and add to it all we actually know about
the reptile, that it can climb trees like
an anaconda, swim like hydra, get
over a 8 foot wall and squeeze through
inch hole, and that its bite is death,
it would have TO be confessed that the
snake eating snake is the most terrible
creature in nature. Good Words.

LETTERS TO MIDoLesuRv PEOPLE.

BOND BROS, Middlebury, VT.
Gentlemen One of the things against
which you grocers must contend in in
Producing our Harmless soap is the
price.
Most people think soap is thing they
ought to buy cheap. They think low
priced soaps are economical, and high
priced are extravagant. Never was the
truth more completely turned around.
The soap that costs most by the pound
costs least by the year for two reasons:
First reason: They won't use so many
pounds of it.
Second season: 1t won't rot clothes.
To conyince customers that high
priced soap costs no more than lower
priced, you may sell Harmless on a posi-
tive guarantee that one bar (Sc.) will
outwash two &c. cakes. If they say ii
doesn't, give them back &c. on each bar
and charge to us.
