AN UNEXPLAINED IMPULSE.
The Disposition of Some Folks I"
Jump From Great Elevations.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat)
The strange temptation TO cast them
selves into space which assalls 50 many
people when they look down from flsh
places is very hard TO account for sclen-
fifcallv," said a well-known neurologlst
of this city. 1T has undoubtedly been
the cause Of hundreds Of cases OF self
destruction. vet it certainly cannot be
cIassed as a suicidal impulse, because
those who experience II inVarlably resist
with all their strength and hang back IN
an agony Of dread and repulsion. They
don't want to kill themselves, but some
power stronger than viii. stronger even
than love of life draws them irresistibly
over the brink.

plague we have been able TO accomplish
much, but in tetanus. or lockjaw, little
or nothing has resulted as yet from our
efforts. We may be able to prolong the
life of the animal attacked by tetanus,
which only means prolonging its pain
and agony. Death almost always ends
the case. The best remedy as well as the
most merciful is the rifle or revolver.
EXPERIMENTS WITH POULTRY.
Another experiment which is being
carefully studied at the Bethesda Station
and which does not deal with diseased
conditions is the tendency which highbred
folws have of Tevertiug back TO the types
from which they were bred originally.
This is of much importance to poultry
raisers. To obtain a species of hens
which are bred for their egg-producing
properties is the main aim of breeders of
feathered stock. This has been success
fully accomplished, but in flock of high
bred pure blood stock there frequently
will be hatched one or more off birds
which do not show all OF the markings or
the qualities which distinguish their race.
There is always a tendency to revert or
throw back, as it is called. to the orig
inai types from which they were bred.
Among a flock of brown leghorns at the
station are several pure white hens with
brown leghOrn parentage.
Dr. Schroeder is inclined TO think that,
bred birds and animals to get back to
original types, which are always the
stronger. yet reVersion is not apt TO show
itself unless external conditions in the
lives Of the parents stir it into action
or the conditions of climate necessitate
II. For example IL fowl has one pare Mt
from a stock that had been acciimatest
for number of generations in a cold
climate ana the other parent in Il warm
climate, and the offspring itself should
be hatched in cold climate. the eggs
from the offspring would be apt to hatch
a brood which would in certain of the
chicks revert TO the type of the cold eli
mate parent or the warm climate parent
according as the climatic or other cOndi-
tiOns surrounding the fowl would require
in the effort ON the part. of nature to
render the bred stock most adaptable to
the external environments which sur
round it and in which it must pass it's
existence.
Conscientious breeders of blooded stock
have been much disturbed by this tend
enCy to revcrSiOn. Eggs which have been
purchased from a breeder by one who
wishes to improve his stock not infre-
queutly throw back although the par
euts and ancestry of the chicks Matched
from these eggs have been Of the purest
stock. This leaves the breeder open to
the charge of dishonesty and the pur-
chaser is distrustful and discouraged.

TO HOLD THE NILE WATERS.
Extending the Assuan Dam "A Great
Undertaking.
tFrom The London Express. }

The total extent Of the dam at Assuan
which is 10 hold up the waters Of the
Nile, is one mile and "a quarter, of which
one mile and an eighth Of the foundation
IS finished. The whole OF the granite ma
Eonry required for the dam IS cut and
ready TO be laid IN its place The parapet
alone remains to be prepared.
The dam is pierced with $50 openings,
about twenty-five feet high and seven
feet wide, which openings are controlled
by steel sluices. The work for the latter
IS now well advanced. The discharge
through these sluices at high Nile may
reach 1890 tons of water per second.
Unless anything unforeseen occurs the
reservoirs viii be in operation for the
Nile food Of 1893. This will be well with
in the contract time, although owing to
the increased depth OF the foundations
the work done by the contractors has
been largely increased.

The Chinese express great satisfac-

tention of the court to return TO Pekin

with the exception of the legation
guards, are expected to withdraw ere
the middle of that month, the only
troops not already under orders OF
withdrawal being the Japanese, whose

Cnnldn.t Mear shoes.

Sumpter, H., June 10th.-Mrs. ]. b.
Flanagan, Of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time, but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six, before she was en-
tirely cured She is now as sound and
as well as ever she was, completely re-
stored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
of Dodds Kidney Pills, and Of Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy. after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.
