TattercnlosU In Bats. For neven years I have been making almost daily exiierinienta ujion the in ternal organ of dead animals in order to increase my knowledge of couijara tive pathology. The iostniorteni ex aminations were made for the mofet part at the Lampatter Glue works, in the suburbs of Lancaster, Pa. Here of course were the bodies of large numbers of animals which afforded me an abun dant supply of subjects for examination. The vicinity of the works swarmed with rats. Many of those, the workmen told me, sickened and died from time to time, and I became curiouH to know eomething about the disease that carried so many of the rodents off. I could rind next to nothing about the rat in books, so the thought growing upon me that the disease so fatal to the rat might be made dangerous to the rat's nearest neighbor, man himself, I undertook a series of experiments. My first rat subject was a sick one which I captured in the yard of the glue works rithout any exertion. The animal crawled about, made no effort to escape from me and when picked up offered no resistance. Its appearance indicated that it was dying of general debility. Its body was greatly emaciated. Its back was arched and its face bore an expres sion of distress. It refused food, was racked with a constant cough and in a few hours after being captured was found dead in the comfortable prison in which I had placed it. My next subject was a healthier and more active rat. I caught him only to mark him and then gave him his free dom. He came into the yard regularly for his rations of flesh from various ani mals, but gradually showed the same symptoms that marked the condition of my first subject, and in fourteen days after capture he, too, was dead. The postmortem examination of these two cases developed the fact that the lungs were badly diseased. Tuberculosis had destroyed the right lung of each and only a part of the left remained. Dr. S. E. Weber's Lecture. Changes in an English School. In 1824 Mr. Milnes Gaskell writes from Eton that an upper boy "got spurs and rode some of us (lower boys) over a leap positively impossible to be leaped over with a person on your back, and every time (which is every time) we can not accomplish it he spurs us violently, and my thigh is quite sore with the in roads made by those dreadful spurs; my new coat is completely ruined." In the next year Ashley minor, a son of Lord Shaftesbury, died in consequence of a fight which lasted two hours and a quar ter on the same evening. The quarrel originated about a seat in the upper school. Dr. Keate spoke about the sad event to the school three days later; he blamed the boys for letting the fight go on so long, but was not to be "seduced into any namby pamby peace-at-any-price sentimentalism." He said: "Not that I object to all fighting in itself; on the contrary, I like to see a boy return a blow." Such a state of things has for tunately entirely disappeared; a clergy man, a head master, a doctor of divini ty, however much he might feel that the meek acceptance of injuries was not the sign of a keen and generous character, yet would now hesitate to mark fighting with his approval before an audience of boys whom he was bound by statute to instruct in Christian principles. Na tional Review. How His Heart Was Won. "When Colonel Van Wyck was run ning for congress many years ago in the Fifteenth New York district, there was a certain Irishman who steadfastly re fused to give the old soldier any en couragement. The colonel was greatly surprised, therefore, when Pat informed him on election day that he had con cluded to support him. "Glad to hear it, glad to hear it," said the colonel. "I rather thought you were against me, Patrick." "Well, sir," said Patrick, "I wuz, and whin ye stud by me pigpen and talked that day fur two hours or worse ye didn't budge me a hair's breadth, sir; but after ye wuz gone away I got to thinking now ye reached yer hand over the fence and scratched the pig on the back till he laid down wid the pleasure of it, and I made up me mind that whir a rale colonel was as sociable as that I wasn't the man to vote agin him." Ne braska State Journal. Natural Paint. Twenty miles from Newcastle, North nmberland county, New Brunswick, a deposit of natural paint (96 per cent oxide of iron) has been discovered, and so pure that it does not require refining or even manufacture, since it is ready for mixing with oil in the proportion of two pounds of paint to a gallon of oil.

"Helpin dig a sewer down on the road beyant." New York Weekly. A Shrewd Investment. The investment of 4,000,000 made by the British government in the Suez canal shares will in a year or two, ac cording to Mr. Goschen, be worth 19, 000,000, which proves it to have been an excellent stroke of business as well as of diplomacy. New York Times. Saving a Stamp. Mamma Why did you put two stamps on this letter? One would have been plenty. Little Tommy One of the stamps was to red, and I didn't want to waste it. Good News. The Earliest Lighthouses. Fire towers at the entrances to ports were established in the earliest historic times. Bonfires were built on top of them at night. Washington Star. A Dsownlna Ma Zsperlesee. To prevent any person from lntorf sor ing with my design I jumped Into the river lato in the afternoon Friday. No one appeared to bo about at tho tlma. When I struck the water I immediately sank, going down and down, and yet being carried forward until I thought I would never again arise. A sound roared through my head; it seemed to mo It would burst. I opened my mouth and attempted to breathe, being unable to endure the pressure longer, but the water rushod in and I closed my moutn. I was again compelled to open it. More water entered. The feeling was horrible. Just when I thought all was over I reached the surface of tho water about fifty feet from the shore and 100 feet from where I had jumpod in. Near by was a steamboat on which stood a man with a long pole with an iron hook on tho end. It took only a second to see those things, and in fact I had just time to get one breath when I again sank with my mouth open. My past life flashed before me, and I was again a child. The picture of my father and mother stood out in bold relief. I reached out my hand to them. The roaring of the water sounded liko the sweetest of music. Suddenly I saw light and thought I wae in paradise. A largo green field covered with roses and other flowers, whoso fra grance I could smell, came in view. I felt as If I was being borne up by some winged messenger whom I could not see, but whose presence I could feel. I remembered nothing more until I felt a rough jerk. My rescuer had suc ceeded in fastening the boathook in .my clothing. As my body was being pulled from out of the water the picture changed; instead of paradise, the place in which the devil dwells, with all its fires and swarming with hideous, red dressed creatures and other things, pre sented themselves in my mind, only to again quickly disappear and leave me in darkness. When I came to I was sur prised to learn I had been unconscious. Every muscle in my body pained me, but my brain was perfectly clear. Drowning, after the first stages are past, is pleasant. St. Louis Republic. Andirons aa Ornament. Genuine antique andirons are compar atively rare in New York, and they an for the most part of simple design, al though ornate in detail often. The very earliest andirons were of wrought iron, and few of them have come down to this century, especially in America. One characteristic of early forms waa the curved top, ending in a diamond shaped mass of iron, from 1) to 3 inches in diameter. The goat's foot, not with divided hoof, however, is a common characteristic of early form, in brass as well as iron. When the andiron was developed as an ornament, small andirons, called creepers, came to be used with the largo ones. The latter were for show; the creepers were to hold the logs, and per haps to prevent them rolling out upon the floor. Tho creepers were of wrought iron, with front only ten or twelve inches high, curving iuto a ball. Later they were used alone in small fireplaces and imitated and elaborated in brass. They are not uncommon at the antique shops, and they are exactly imitated in wrought i iron by modern manufacturers and sold at from $1.50 to $3 a pair. Another comparatively early form is a wrought iron stripjwith simply wrought iron feet and a brass knob at the top. New York Sun. One of Labouchere'f Stories. One of Labouchere's stories about the admiralty and the way "My Lords" con duct their labors at Whitehall is as fol lows: A few years ago a gun was lost by bursting in the Sea of Marmora, and upon reading the report of the admiral in command of the fleet "My Lords" were moved to telegraph to ask whether there was any chance of the muzzle of the gun being recovered. The answer was that In view of the fact that the gun had been lost in eighty fathoms of wa ter, nearly out of sight of land, where no cross bearings could have been taken, the likelihood of its recovery was very remote. Thereupon "My Lords" wanted to know why no engineer's accounts had been sent in from the vessel in question, but they ceased telegraphing when the admiral replied that the ship had been for ten years a sailing- ship! Cor. New York World. Athletics in a Theater. On one occasion during Mrs. Langtry's tenancy of the St. James' theater, ath letic sports were held on the stage after the evening performance, in which not only the members of the company, but also Mrs. Langtry and her sister took part. One rather novel event, which was confined to the stage hands, was a race from the stage to the gallery, in the center of which Mrs. Langtry's hand kerchief had been suspended. This was awarded to the fortunate winner, to gether with a substantial monetary ad dition. London Tit-Bits. Snakes That Climb Trees. Those pit vipers without rattles which belong to the Old World (Trimeresuri) are Indian, and a dozen different species are given and described by Mr. Boulen ger. They are robust snakes, with rather short tails, which can strongly grasp, and thus they are enabled to climb about trees which form their natural habitat Quarterly Review. Perfumes Sometimes Injurious. As a rule whatever perfume is un pleasant to the individual should be avoided, but as exceptions occur to every rule, nervousness or debility which cannot be accounted for may sometimes be explained by the use of a well known perfume. St. Louis Globe Democrat. A Charming Tribute. "Papa," said a little girl who had been getting a great many satisfactory answers to a great many questions, what's the use of our having a dic tionary in the house while you are here? Harper a Lazar. Soad'aneae Troops In Ilia lie. I wai told a delightful story of one re cent action in which tho Soudanese troops took a prominent part. Tho rn emy was under cover not far off, but tho firing line of blacks wcro bLizing away at him as fat us they could othii and dose their rifles. In vain their of ficers tried to stop them. The waste of ammunition throatcned to becomo ex tremely serioua, and their eommanlinu officer, a Scotchman who had waai many fights with them, losing his temper, rode op and down behind tho lino cursing them with every abusive epithet in a fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in vective, but entirely without effect. At last one of them happened to turn and discovered tho beloved bey in evidently a very excited state of mind. He at once rose, ran back to him, and patting him reassuringly on tho boot ho said: "Don't be frightened, bey. It's all right. We're here. Wo'll tako caro of you!" The Scot -h bey, however, was equal to the otxa, on. Ho roda out tnrougrj the lino, and walked his horso up and down in front of the rifles. "Now," he said, "if you must tiro, fire at me!" After this it is not surprising to read in dispatches that this officer has twice re cently had hia horso shot under him. Contemporary Review. Jay Gould's nook. Occasionally sowe person knocks at tho door of J7 Gould's office in the Western Union building with a copy of "The History of Delaware County, New York, by Jay Gould," to sell. An im pression exists in the minds of many people that Mr. Gould is desirous of suppressing this publication as com pletely as possible, and that he will pay almost any price to get possession of the few stray copies that are left. Itosi dents of Delaware county are authority for the statement that several years ago an agent of Mr. Gould's scoured that county for these books and bought near ly all of them at fancy prices. When ever a copy of this particular history of Delaware county is dinplayed in that county at tho present day tho older resi dents will advise the owner, "Jit yon take thet down ter New York, an Jay Gould'll give yer thirty or forty dollars for it." It is certain that nobody in Mr. Gould's office ever heard of his paying any such price for one of those books. And nobody is able t explain why Mr. Gould should want to suppress tho pub lfation, unless it is that he thinks thero Is too much sentiment in it for a man of his present reputation. New York Times. The Unreiwoniiig Crowd. Sj)eaking of the jueer things to be seen on the streets, il is really astonishing how instinctively one person imitates an other. A man with a passion for psy chical research has been proving this by ome experiments which are, to say the least of it, original. Going along about dusk the other night in advance of a small party of folk, ho suddenly turned out into the muddy street, as if avoiding something in front. Unquestioningly every person behind did the same thing in spite of the mire. It isn't likely that they felt tho full humorous force of the incident in quit the way he did, however, when they saw him face aboat and walk cabnly back in the beaten path. The sheep went to all the trouble of jumping over a bar of dust, to be sure, but it would really aeem worth while if human beings could think a little more independently and for themselves. The truth of it is, it is just this blind unreasoning herding to gether that leads to half the accidents and panics which are cropping up on all sides. Boston Transcript. Antidotes for Snake Poison. The effect of snake bite depends partly on the condition of the snake and partly on that of the person bitten and the part attacked. No effectual antidote has yet been discovered. Ammonia and ier manganate of potassium will not suffice, although a solution of the latter will take away the poisonous property of the snake's venom if it be mixed therewith. Immediate amputation of a bitten toe or finger is the best course, as the delay of a few seconds may suffice to convey the poison into the patient's circulation. If from the nature of the part bitten amputation cannot be performed, a very tight ligature applied after cauterization and sucking the part is the best course, and the administration of stimulants is generally recommended. Quarterly Re view. Rice and Wheat at Weddings. Throwing rice and wheat at a wed ding is a relic of an old Roman custom, and has probably been common in Eng land since Roman times. Brand gives several authorities for it. Friend refers to the case of the bride of Henry VII at Bristol in 1486, when wheat was thrown upon her with the greeting, "Welcome and good luck!" Rice is used similarly at weddings in India, and the substitution of this grain for wheat in our own country of late years may be partly due to that fact; but where wheat cannot readily be come at rice would naturally suggest itself a a substitute. Notes and Queries. A Physician's Fees. South Africa responds to modern In novations. A recent traveler in Kaffir land tells this incident: As we were upsaddling, there passed us a man driving a small flock of goats and several head of cattle. This was the husband of a lady physician who is ruining the practice of the local witch doctors, and he waa takjng home his wifes fee for attending a patient Youth's Companion.
