Character in Children.

Parents sometimes congratulate
themselves upon the fact that one child
is never self-willed, never passionate or
angry, always amable, contented and
calm, seeming to need no discipline and
no restraint. And they mourn over the
fact that another child is eager, i'm
petuous, willful, troublesome. Yet not
infrequently the mourning and the re-
joicing ought to change places, if the
future life and character be taken into
account. The tranquility, of the one
may be only the outcome of feeble
character, which leans against the near
est prop because it cannot stand alone,
while the other, who is so difficult to
manage, may contain the elements of
a powerful nature, which needs only
to be guided Alright to become valua-

A WoMAN's DISCOVERY.
Transfusfon of Vital Energy ThrOuHh
Electric Impulse

A<ASCtEAC Hpulbcs
Although genuine elixir vitae has
never been discovered, to satisfy the
many seekers who have desired to out
live their generation, DR.. Augusta
Brown Girard, of New York, believes
that the results of her years of expert
menting have proved ve-~ gratifying.
Her theory is simple, and she is willing
that all may benefit by her discovery.
which she calls TRANSMISSION of vital
energy through electric impulse" She
has been able to demonstrate that vital
ity may be transmitted to patient
from a healthy man or woman, or even
from animals. MAN is veritabIe hui
man battery, and may generate vitality
in any part of his organism when he
knows what nerves are involved and
how to manipulate them" DIR. Brown
said:
81 sought first to locate the seat of
vitality. 1t may be called the 'gerninal
spot or the fountain of life.' believe
this spot to be the pineal gland, located,
at the base of the brain. just above the
pons varolii. 1 call that the positive
pole. The negative pole locate at the
medulla spinalis, which is short dis
lance from the extreme end of the
spinal column"
She made many experiments, and has
obtained astonishing results. An cleo,
trode is fastened upon the head and
back of the person or animal from
which magnetism is to be drawn and
connected, by wire, with band around
the head of the patient, in proximity to
the pineal gland. He rests one hand
upon the electrode at the back of the
animal. A current is passed from bat
terry through the vital parts of the ami
NAL and is received by the patient. A
healthy OK is considered most satisfac-
tory, although astonishing results have
been obtained from Newfoundland
dogs. A German woman of seemingly
inexhaustible vitality has been en-
ployed many times. DR.. Brown grad

Music md the Hair.

1t is said that musicians who play
entirely upon the piano preserve, if
they do not acquire, luXuriant growth
of hair. On the other hand, wind instru-
ments, especially the cornet and the
trombone, are fatal to hirsute adorn-
ment. The violonce!lo and the harp are
favorable to the preservation of the
hair, but the flute. cannot be depended
on after the fiftieth year. Paderewski
is cited as an example of what the vibra,
tions of a piano will do in this direction,
1t has been admitted for long time
that music possesses certain thera-
peutic worth.

Salt Water for Boilers,

Experiments show that the straight
tube express boiler may be in case of
emergency run with salt water. The
Yarrow boiler has tubes IA inches in
diameter as compared to the Az or s.
inch tubes of the boilers used in the
English royal navy for rattle ships and
large cruisers. 1t has been feared that
the tubes of the small boilers would be
quickly stopped in case salt water should
gain access to them. Recently vessel
with a Yarrow boiler was steamed of
the mouth of the Thames five consecu-
tive days for eight to ten hours day.
Sea water only was used TOR feeding the
boiler 1T was found that the vessel
could easily be run at three quarters
speed without any difficulty

THE JETTIES OF GALVESTON.

Splendid Harb0r improvements of

There is not in all the world any
thing in the way of harbor improve
mcnts at all to be compared with the
great work of jetty construction that
the United States engineers have just
completed at Galveston" said Con-
gresham Hawley, who halls from that
city. Mr.. Hawlcy, who 10 one of the
leading business men in the Island City,
was telling some friends about the re-
suits of Uncle Sans munifcent expend-
iture for deep water at his home.
There are two jetties," said he, zone
seven miles in length and the other
clear out to the open sea is about 1000
feet. They are built of sandstone and
granite in the most thorough and sub
stantial way, and they will stand as
an everlasting monument to the skill
and wisdom of the engineers. They
are an unqualified success. We have
now &c feet of water on the bar, and in
a years time can count ON 30 feet, for
the work of securing goes on con-
Standy.
"The practical benefits of deep wa
ter are shown in the fact that in 1896 the
value Of exports from Galveston harbor
was GO per cent. greater than for any
year in its past history, despite the low
average of prices of all kinds of prod
ucts. do not believe, in view of the
great tributary country behind it, that
it is the view of an enthusiast or vision
airy when the prediction is made that
ere many years Galveston will be one
of the greatest marts of commerce in
the United States. From this time for
ward there is no limit to the expansion
of her shipping interests, for, with am
pie sea room and depth of water, she
can accommodate the merchant craft
of all countries. "-Washingto Post.

LIVING SKELETONS.
The Awful Conditions Existing In Parts of
India.

Copyright 1897 by Associated Press.
Kaipur. Feb. 2.-The special corre-
spondent of the associated press who
is inqulring into the famine ravares
in this, the largest district OF the Gen.
trial province, having a population of
1.500,O00, finds the situation very grave.
This Is the center of the rice growing
industry. which Is the only crop grown.
and as IL has failed there IL a total
lack OF food stuff in this locality and
real famine exists. About 1900 villages
are affected. The relief works have
given employment and the means Of
subsistence 10 10000 persons. The worst
part OF the district is in the Dharma
Para. 80 miles from here. where la
mentable conditions prevail.
Many people have already died Of
hunger and many others are dying. The
staff employed in the work of reliev-
ing the sufferers Is inadequate to cope
with the enormous area. IL the work
OF relief had been properly arranged
earlier the mortality would have been
less. as the rains are increasing the
spread of disease. 1t will take three
years 10 recoup the district. The poor
houses are fair criterion OF the con-
dition of the people. Besides profess
sIonal beggars they are crowded with
laborers reduced to the last stage OF
skeletons. Their bodies are emaciated
and the skin is hanging in large folds
Others have swollen stomachs, the
signs of acute privation.
II Is found that the cattlemen and
field workers, usually lusty men, are
unable to do anything and the women
are in the same condition. The mini
mum dole of food Is only enough to
keep body and soul together, it does
not suffice to build up the system
again. This Is where private charity Is
wanted. 1t Is useless to attempt to
send the natives to the hospitals. They
prefer to die.
Some horrible sights We're witnessed
A man with both legs eaten away was
a mass of white scabs, and others were
nearly as bad. The condition in this
district is the worst yet seen. There Is
urgent need of funds here.
The correspondent hears that In the
Jubbulpore district conditions are even
worse than here. If seed Is not sown
the people will be incapable of procur-
ing food. and the conditions next year
will be too awful to contemplate. The
government was late in realizing the
gravity Of the situation. Had relief
measures been instituted earlier much
of the distress existing could have been
averted. The food supply in this dis
trict is seanty and will soon be ex-
hausted.
