Very few of the sudden deaths
which are said to arise from disease
of the heart" do really arise from
that cause. TO ascertain the real orr
gin of sudden deaths, experiments
have been tried in Europe, reported
to scientific congress held at Stars
burgh. Sixty-six cases of sudden
death were made the subject of thor
ough postmorteIn examination; in
these only two were found who had
died from disease of the heart. Nine
out of sixty-six had died from apo
plexy, while there were forty cases
that is, the lungs were so full of blood
they could not work, there not being
room, enough to support life. The
causes that produce congestion of the
lungs are cold feet, tight clothing,
costIve bowels, sitting till being chill
ed after being warmed with labor or
rapid walk, going too suddenly from
close heated rooms into the air, espe-
cially after speaking, and sudden and
depressing news operating on the
blood. The causes of sudden death
being known, avoidance of them may
serve to lengthen valuable lives which
would otherwise be lost under the
verdict of "heart complaint" That
disease is supposed to be inevitable
and incurable; hence many may not
take the pans they would to avoid
sudden death if they knew it lay in
their power.

To know one heart that could comprehend,


One soul that would never read yours aniss !;
In a word, to possess perfect friend


Is there any wealth that can equal this.
I whirl along in the flying train.


The clouds fit by in the windy skies;
The frozen rivers a wide white plain,


Whose glare and glitter affrOnt my eyes.
For eyes and heart are known with the sense,


OF parting words that were less than kind,
From my friend so prompt to resent odense,


When never shadow had crossed my mind.
When the idle speech that was answered so


Was only jest that was meant for cheer,
And to hide the feeling would not show.


The p tssionate pain and the ycarniag fear,
He ought to have knowni But that is the worst
That he didn't, and never will understand;
This blow to-day is not the first,


Nor will be the last shall have'at his hand
1 have had my dream of a friend-alas,


That dreams like these should be false as fair
Bot. Indeed, if it ever should come to pass,


1t Wonld leave too little to do or to bear
That dream fulfilled would sufice for me;


Hope and effort and all desire
For the world that is, and the world to be


Would seem as chat to a tongue of fire.
If ever my heart that has starved so long


Should fnd its mama and take its fill,
Better to suffer, perhaps. and be strong,


To wait in patience and miss it still.
For what is life but a flying train,


That bears us on to our journeys end
And afte< its burden of loss and pain,


may discover and win my friend!

Somebody says: have recipe to
offer. 1t is compound, being COM
posed of several Ingredients. 1t is an
excellent remedy, and when properly
applied, has an amazing good effect
upon farmers boys, keeping them at
home in the evening, when they ought
to be there, and making it better than
any other place on earth, Here are the
ingredients sr


l. Treat them as partners with
you. Give them to understand that
they are interested in the success of
the farming operations as much as
you are yourself.


2. Converse freely with them. Get
their opinions and give them yours,
at all prudent make use of their plans,
and when you think your own best,
explain to them why you did not
adopt theirs. Don't keep them alto
gether in the dark with reference to
your plans tor the future,


3. Don't require them to stay at
home in the evenings all the time
When there is any meeting orr enter
tainment from which they mi ght re-
ceive benefit, be sure to let them go.


4. Provide them with plenty of
good books and papers especially re-
ferring to agriculture. Let them be
well posted in their ownbusiness-
farming.


5. Never scold Ihom because they
don't do their work or attend to the
business of the farm as we'll as you
do. Encourage them.


8. Give them a holiday now and
then. They look for it aud they need
it; and it will be better for you aud
them to let them have it.


Other ingredients may with safety
be added, but the above are of infinite
Importance, and should never be omit
ted. Farmers, try my recipe; it acts
like charm.

A gentleman gives the following
interesting facts regarding another
party who experienced the dreadful
sensation of being sunstruck. Speak
ing of the sufferer, he says:


After suffering long time from the
attack, and having to a considerable
degree recovered, he experienced snf-
fering eYen from the rays of the moon
This led him to the reflection that it
was not altogether the heat of the sun
that produced prostration. After
much research, he discovered that the
injury came from the chemical raw,
and not from the heat ray. He was
guided to this by observing that s
photograph could not be taken
through ahollow glass. Accordingly
he lined his hat with two linings-one
of orange yellow, to arrest the chem
ical ray and one of green to arrest the
heat ray. Thus prepared he went
where the rays of the sun were most
intense with perfect impunity. 1t is
well known that the negro is seldom
or never sunstruok. The color of his
skin over the skull being orangeyelioW
may assist in accounting for the fact.
| pPactised upon this suggestion all
last summer, lined my hat with green
aud orange yellow paper, aud had con-
fidence enough in the truth of my
theory to neglect my umbrella, which
l had never done before, I mention
ed ii to many who tried it also, and
in many cases that came under my OBJ
servation, they uniformly asserted
that the oppressive heat of the sun
upon the head was much relieved.

A WOMAN MARR1Es A: WOMAN.


AN extraordinary lawsuit is now


going on in Paris. Some years
ago a surgeon made the acquain-


tance of a young girl who soon


became mother. II cannot mar


ry you," said the doctor, (although


he was not married,) "but if you


can find any one else to make you


wife, and adopt the child as his
own, I will leave him all my for
tune" But a husband could not
be found to accept these conditions.


However, among the girls friends
was a school companion Of hers,
whose brother had just died abroad,
and she proposed to take her broth
ers iame and attire, and to marry
her friend to save her from dis
grace. This was done, and they
duly married and lived before the
world as man and wife. The doc
tor died in course of time, and, ac-
cording TO his word, left his whole
fortune to the child. The s0idimn'
husband also died. and the secret
was discovered. Hearing this, the
relations of the doctor have
brought an action against the child
to recover the fortune:ssThe mon:
ev, they say, was left to the child
of Monsieur and Mamsclie A, but
as there was no Monsieur A. there
could be no Mamselle A.-sryo, the
child could rot be theirs. The
suit is still at this point, the plain
tif"s case being alone heard as yet.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN. N.-Com-
menting upon the fact that not, one
woman was saved on the fatal At
lantic, although many had the same
chance Of life as the men, an hex-
chance says 1.-THE strength of
women at the crisis of their life
depends on their physical culture
while childrep. Let notparents be
more ashamed of their girls brown
faces and fists than Of their boys
Let them train, and clothe them so
that they can run and climb and
care for and protect themselves.
Let them take them with their
brothers into the harvest field. A
boy is not ashamed of wosk ;. no
more should be a girl. The refine
ment that suits girl out Of Gods
sunshine, and allows her no rough
er work indoors than to embroider
worsteds, or tap ivory keys, or
dust a marble mantle, is refining
her off of the face of the earth to

The news from Cuba indicates a purpose
on the part of the business men and PLAN
tiers OF the islana to grapple with the ques-
ton upon which hinges the se' tlement of
the strife that has so long devastated fair
country and preyed upon its prosperity
From all points of the Christian world Spain
has been invoked to end the strife by giving
freedom to the slaves. 1t has been believed
that Spanish rule would be tolerated If the
yoke of bondage could be broken. Great
Britain has urged the necessity of this pro-
gressive movement. Our own Government
has spoken in language that cannot be mis-
understood. Spain has made fair promises,
bu. has never seemed in earnest about full
filing them. This movement among the
people is the most favorable one that has vet
been made. 1t shows that the necessity OF
oing something decisive begins to be real
izetl. The movements of the SANTANA Bay.
Company will precipitate the decision. Sla-
very can not last long in Cuba after our peo-'
pie get foothold in San Domin &C. The
brutal cruelty of Spain in the island mnst be
brought to all end. She must give up the
Island CT establish her rule. The abolition of
slavery will cut the knot and perpetuate her
lease, while it relieves her of burden that
must be getting extremely onerous. The at
tempt to impose upon the slaves part of
the price OF their freedom will be hard to
bear. Yet is likely that even that would
be preferred to a continuance OF strife and
perpetual bondage.

Large buckets of canvas, says the
Btltctin Il" Hn4cc, are made about four
feet high and fifteen Iilches in diameter.
A bag of linen or flannel stretched
across the top serves rs II sieve and a
siphon ; wooden cork and canvas
tube inserted below the level of the
water are used to draw off the contents.
These reservoirs are suspended to
branches of trees in shady places, and
exposed to the light breezes which in
summer always exist in Australia, From
the damp surface of the vessels rapid
evaporation takes place, which keeps
the water within at temperature much
lower than that of the surrounding air


This arrangement is on the same prin-
clple as the water-Jars, or "monkeys,
used in the tropical countries and the
east of Europe. The latter are merely
unglazed earthenware jugs, having
very small neck and spout. We have
never seen them used in the United
States, but should imagine that during
the summer months, and particularly
in event of ice famines, such as we have
been threatened with during the past
two years, they might be advantageous
ly employed. The jars may be made
by any potter, from ordinary clay, nt
very small expense BY suspending
them in a current of air, the water
within is kept during the hottest weather
at delicious coolness, and at tenn
peraturc much more healthful than that
produced by the copious use of ice.
The vessels may be nodded in fancy
shapes, SO as to be ornamental for table

Strength of character consists of two
things of will and power of self
restraint. 1t requires two things, there
fore, for it's xistence-strong feeling
and strong command over them. Now,
we all very often mistake strong feelings
for strong character A man who bears
all before him, before whose frown do
mestics tremble, and whose bursts of
fury make the children of the house
hold quake, because he has his own way
in all things, we call him II strong man.
The truth is, that he is weak man it
is his passions that are strong mas
tered by them, is weak.


You must measure the strength of a
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of those that
subdue him. And hence composure is
often the highest result of strength
Did we ever see man receive IL fragrant
injury, and then reply calmly? That is
a man spiritually strong. Or did we
ever see Il man in anguish stand as if
carved out of solid rock, mastering him
self? Or one bearing hopeless daily
trial remain silent, and never tell the
world what cankered his home peace =?
That is strength. He who, with strong
passions, remains chaste he who,
keenly sensitive, with manly powers of
Indignation within him, can be pro-
voked and yet restrain himself and for
give, those are strong men, the spiritual
heroes
