A BIO THUtO IN DaWTIBTRY.
One very interesting instance was that
of the unwieldly hippopotamus in Bar
num's "greatest show on earth." The
animal seemed sick for at least a week
and neglected its food to such an extent
as to alarm its keeper, George Conklin.
It groaned and showed deep distress day
and night Whenever Conklin ap
proached the huge boast it opened its
mouth and moved its tongue. At first
the keeper thought that k-was-begging
for an apple, boiled otuon-lortarrot.
When it rejected the delicacies he threw
into the distended jaws, he concluded
that it was sickness, and careless of the
risk examined the tusk like teeth.
The hippo never moved during the ex
amination until the bad tooth was
touched by the keeper's hand. Then it
groaned and licked the ivory with its
tongue. Conklin, satisfied with faia study,
procured some aconite and sulphuric
ether and a pair of powerful pincers,
attached to a steel chain and tackle.
He arranged the latter so that the rope
passed over a heavy beam in the cage
and then rubbed the gums of the giant
brute around the painful spot with the
anaesthetic until nearly all the sensation
was destroyed. He then applied the
pincers and screwed them down until
they would lift a ton. The hippo scarcely
moved during the operation. The only
sign of emotion it displayed seemed more
of satisfaction and relief than anything
else. Conklin gave a signal and the rope
was violently pulled by the menagerie
attendants. There was a sudden strain,
a pause and then the great ,fang sprung
,out of the, jaw and dangled injtbe air
overhead. The hippo gave a thunderous
grunt, plunged into the tank and washed
its mouth until the bleeding ceased.
An hour afterwards it was eating na
turally. When Conkling approached it
showed every symptom of gratitude
from endeavoring to rub its slimy head
against his body and wiggling ita funny
little tail. The tooth was eight and a
half inches long and was ulcerated near
ly all the way from the bottom of the
roots to the edge of the gum.
a sliver nr HIS JAW.
Another case which more strongly il
lustrates the mastery of man over the
animal world was afforded by- a fierce
and very dangerous hyena. He was so
ferocious that he attacked his mate in
the same cage upon the smallest provo
cation, and on one occasion tore off. the
end of the latters nose. His keeper,
though a veteran in the business, seldom
ventured into the cage, and then did so
only when armed and accompanied by
-his fellow employes. One day in gnaw
ing a very large, and hard bone, the
hyena in crushing it, split it into splin
ters, one of which pierced the jaw. So
great is the muscular power of the brute's
mouth that the splinter was driven down
at least four inches into the gum. The
hyena did his best to get it out, but to
no avail.
Inflammation set in' and within forty
eight hours he was almost crazy with
agony. The keeper in the meantime, at
tracted by the -animals constant roars
and groans, had-passed nearly all his
time in front of the cage.- On the third
day the hyena became very weak and
could hardly stand. Suddenly' he
crawled over to the .bars and called the
keeper, if using the sane sounds they
employ towards each other can be so
termed. The keeper rose from his cage
and went to the bars. As he neared
them the hideous carnivore 'opened his
mouth, revealing the terrible wound.
The keeper, a rough and fearless man,
procured a pair of verystrong forceps
and, calling his associates to stand around
the casein case he was attacked, opened
the door and sprang in. The hyena
turned without growling, wagged its
tail and again opened his -mouth. The
keeper took hold of the splinter and with
a powerful pull extracted it from the in
flamed and swollen flesh. Then with
some lukewarm water he sponged out
the interior .of the mouth. The hyena
recovered entirely from the accident,
but ever after displayed a warm friend
ship for the valorous keeper.
Lions and tigers are subject to two
troubles. -One is the breaking of a email

It takes about two-fifths of a second to
call to mind the country in which a well
known town is situated or the language
in which a familiar author wrote. We
can think of the name of the next month
in half the time we need to think of the
name of last month. " It takes on the
average of one-third of a second to add
numbers containing one digit and half a
second to multiply them. Such experi
ments give us consssstahle insight into
the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two
to three in less time than others:-those
familiar with literature can remember
more quickly than others that Shakespeare-wrote
"Hamlet.' - It takes longer
to mention a month when a season has
been given than to say to what month a
season belongs.
The time taken up in choosing a mo
tion, the "will time," can be measured
as well as the time taken up in perceiv
ing. If I do not know which of two col
ored lights is to be presented, and must
lift my right head if it be red and my
left if it be blue, I need about one-thirteenth
of a second to initiate the correct
motion. I have also been able to register
the sound waves made in the air by
speaking, and thus have determined that
in order to call up the name belonging to
a printed word I need about one-ninth' of
a second, to a letter one-sixth of a sec
ond, to a picture one-quarter of a second
and to a color one-third of a second.
A letter can be seen morequickly than
a word, but we are so used to reading
aloud that the process has become quite
automatic, and a word can be read with
greater ease and in less time than a letter
can be named. The same experiments
made on other persons give times differ
ing but little frees any own. : Mental
processes, however, take place more
slowly in children, in the aged and in
the uneducated. Nineteenth Century.

Above all other characteristics, how
ever, of Peking one thing stands out in
horrible prominence, and I have put this
off to the last. . Not to mention it would
be to willfully omit the most striking
color of the picture. I mean its filth. It
is the most horribly and indescribably
filthy-place that can be imagined. In
deed, imagination must fall far short of
the fact. Some of the daily sights of tbe
pedestrian in Peking could not hardly
be more than hinted at by one man to
another in the smoking room. There 1s
no sewer or cesspool, public or private,
but the street; the dog, tbe pig and the
fowl are the' scavengers; every now and
then you pass a man who goes along,
tossing tbe most loathsome of the refuse
into an open work basket on his back;
tbe smells are" simply awful; the city is
one colossal and uodeansed cloaca. , 'As
I have said above, tbe first of tbe two

I smt 'years' o!Tal. I sleep tar a
little white crib,larger than papa's
leather valise, -smaller than niamma's
piano: a crib draped with:fresh curtains
which close about me every evening and
are fastened with a silver pin "to make
me a little room." When 1 raise my
head.. I see above" me an ivory cross
swinging at tho end of 'a blue ribbon that
hangs from the cornice; on each side of
me is a long white silk net, so4hat I
shall not fall-out.- But I am always
kicking off. the covers and slipping
through it and. they continually find me
with an armor a leg caught and lung
ing in the meshes.
My crib, which I warm with my little
childish body, where I am given my
warm milk in the early morning, which
is so comfortable when the doctor says I
am sick, stands at the foot of papa's and
mamma's big bed. so that it gives me
great confidence to be so near them
they who are afraid of nothing! I do
not know how it is. but I must be always
asleep when they come in to go to bed
' I never see them. Their bedtimo is later

hour. As soon as Pie, my nurse, a big
girl, brusque and good hearted, who
teaches me how to say my prayers to the
Bon Dieu in Herman as soon as she has
given me my dinner, quick! lam popped
into a little bed whose end my feet never
see. When sliall I be as big as my night
gowns? In spite of all my efforts I can
never catch up to them.
Then as soon as I am stretched out on
the mattressand Pie has vigorously
tucked me in, I cry out with all my
might, lamentably, like a little dog that
is being whipped: "Mammal Mammal"
Some one comes. There is a noise of
footsteps in the corridor. It is papa and
mamma. Papa says: "Will you stop
making such a noise, you little rascal?
We can hear you all over the house!" He
turns to the nurse and frowns:
"Fie," he says, "tell me the truth. Has
this cliild been naughty?"
"Nein, he has been very gbot," says
the excellent Pie.
"Then ho shall have a piece of candy,''
amy s papa, satisfied at once.
"Mint; papa, mint!" I cry out., , ,
"Yes, mint! and papa himself drops
into my little moist, open mouth the big,
white crumbling penny which I love so,
and which I begin to taste as soon as its
penetrating odor reaches my nose. Un

"Eat it up, then, little gooser or, "He

Then she bends over me, and then I
whip out my two arms from the cover

know very well that it must tire her to-be
weighted down so, but still I like to do it
And then I love her so! She kisses me
twice, three times then with, her pretty
fingers she hurriedly traces tbe sign of
the cross on my forehead (before I came
there were two little brothers who both
went away to heaven) and she tenderly
closes tbe curtains; without ceasing to
look lovingly in at me through tbe open

At last the curtains are tight shut and I
can see nothing, more, Bui I can hear.
Papa has already, gone away to Ms study,

The action of that New Jersey bank ia
dumping $4,000 in silver on its floor in
payment of its checks in the bands of a
rival institution brings up the question
of legal tenders. Gold lias always been
legal tender ia the United States. With
a brief interval previous to tbe passage
of the Bland act silver dollars have been
also. Greenbacks are, but, gold and sil
ver certificates are not, exception cus
toms, taxes and public dues. National
bank notes are not legal tenders, and can
and have often been refused in payment
of debt. Subsidiary coin is legal tender
only in limited quantities.,
A gentleman went to the stamp win
dow of the rnstoffice in a neighboring
city and called for 100 one cent .stamps,
tendering in payment 100 one cent pieces.
"Those are not .legal tender in any
such quantities," growled the stamp
clerk; "I refuse to accept them."
"You do, eh?" answered ,tbe gentle
man. "Well, give me one stamp," at
the ssjne time shoving out a penny. The
stamp was forthcoming.
"Now, give me a stamp." He got it.
"Another stomp."
"Now another."
"See here," said the clerk, "bow many
stamps do you want? You are keeping
twenty people waiting."
"Oh, I always keep within tbe law,"
responded the gentlemanL "Another
stamp, please. " Pennies are not legal
tender in large amounts. Another
stamp."
And he shoved off his pennies and pur
chased stamps, one at a time, till begot

edy it 'doubtless appears of the "hair of
the dog" sort. It must be remembered
that there isa decided esffereaue between
a healthy stomach and one fcstdianasu.
In health, nothing ought tube habitually
pat mto that organ which is much more
than "blood warm." But hi disease the
condition of things is very different.
What is known as dyspepsia springs from
variable conditions, too many, in fact, to
discuss here. -But in nearly all of them
the stomach Is less active than it ought
to be. or it works to a disadvantage, aad
needs a spur or corrective.
Hot water acts in several ways. - When
taken into tbe stomach it not only stimu
lates it and quickens its action, but it
tends as do all hot applications to al
lay irritation. Beside that, it acts me
chanically, and wanlies out that organ,
hurrying its contents down into the in
testine, when without it tite same would
be retained longer than tliere is any need
of. Let a person who four or five hours
after, a hearty meal still feels, uncomfort
able sip acup of very hot water, and it
wfll bring him great relief, stimulating
the stomach and washing out of it much
of its contents which would have been
sent oa into the intestines had not that
organ been fatigued by overwork.
Now, in what passes under tlie head of
dyspepsia there is often a catarrlial
trouble of the stomach, and the same sort
of affection, also, frequently exists in the
intestine. Tbe lining is more or less ir
ritated, and. in consequence of it, not
only is the secretion of mucus greater
than in health, but the same is changed
in character, is thicker, more adhesive,
etc While tbe stomach is empty .this
mucus pours out of its walls and glues
them over., as it were With such a de
posit upon them, let food be taken into
it and soon the same is coated with mu
cus, aad so rendered less susceptible to
the digestive fluids. Not only that, but
tbe mucus in question, while on the walls,
keeps back to a certain extent the gas
trio juice,- and presents, its free entrance
into tha ntoiaarh For eiirh a roniMlioa
of things as this hot water is th simplest
most grateful and effective remedy
known.
A MriSICUX'g TE8TIBOSY.
Bat by hot water is not, by any means,
meant water "scalding hot." 'Water too
hot may injure the lining of the erh
r and cause other ill effects. Hot water to
be taken internally as a medicino should
be at a temperature of from
110 to 120
oege., or aoout as not as tne coffee one
indulges in after dinner. It .should be
taken before meals from one-half to an
hour, and a half-and bo slowly sipped.
If one is even fifteen or twenty minutes
in drinking a glassful all the better
There are some pfaaautioos to be used in
taking hot water.
A person who is liable to hemorrhages
should paly sake it "blood warm." One
with heart trouble who has a weak
heart must sip it more slowly than
others need to do, occupying the longest
time advised. While this "remedy is one
of the simplest and most effective in
suitable cases, it must not be forgotten
that its indiscriminate use is strongly
discouraged. , Before applying it habitu
ally, tbesafe way is to consult a physi
cian. as in some Instances where it would
seem advisable to take it. it might be
coatara-asdicated. To settle thai question
regarding the value of hot water and the
poasihto dangers of using it. tlie follow
ing testimony of a physician, is offered:
"Weoftenhearit said that the free
and prolonged use of hot water tends to
Injure the system. Some say that it is
weakening,' that it weakens the nerves
of the stomach, that it causes aammia of
tk stomach, that it Interferes with di
gestion that it tends to produce a flushed
face and cerebral hypenemia, that it de
bilitates the alimentary tract, and that it
causes a host more of most direful evils.
As a rule, all these objections are theo
retical, and come from these who sever
used k intelligently and systematically,
aad hence are ignorant of .the facts. In
reply to such objections, all I can aay is
that I have used hot water.daily for six
yean without the slightest perceptible
injury, aad have seen only uniformly
good results in persons for whom I have
prescribed its daily and long continued
ua?." Boston Herald. "

The cfaaplaia endeavored to cheer aad

"ChaplaiB." said he, 'Ta not afraid

a coward; but there is something here
(slapping Ms breast) which tells me my
time hascome. Chaplain, will you plraos
write my sister a kind letter? She is a
Christian Catholic and Hove her dearly."
Soon the word "forward" rang along
the line, and Mike, with the tears cours
ing down his cheeks, grasped tbe hand
of the chaplain and requested the good
man to pray for liim. He then took his
place in the ranks. Tbe long colunm
began to move slowly down to the river,
soon increasing its speed to the double
quick, over the nntooii bridges across
the river into the btxvcts of tho city, out
on tbe plains and hilUfde beyond it amid
smoke, shot and shell and death wounds,
up to tho very frowning jaws of death
on tlie heights beyond. The terrible
charge, the murderous repulse, repeated
again and again that afternoon; tlio night
cannonade, the long day following of
skirmish and movement, the succeeding
night and the early morning abandon
ment and retreat across the river have
been many times told. As soon as possi
ble after the battle the chaplain made
earnest inquiries for Mike: but no Mike
was there to answer him.
In the terrible cliarge he was seen
to fall in the forefront of battle, and was
borno from the field fatally wounded.
His boisterous, cheerful voice, good na
tared countenance, rich brogue and burly
form, were never again with us. Hie
was the most marked and startlingcase
of presentiment of coming death or dis
aster that came under my observation in
the army.
Army life and its dangers made many
of us believe in fate that the decree of
the Great Author bad fixed the span of

Twenty years ago there still existed in

Bioaafly a passing stranger, from either
north .or south, who sympathized with

literary subjects, about which he allowed
mere difference of opinion. He was such

A suggestive fact connected with the
army register ia that it shows no
fewer than ninety-six first lieutenants on
tha active list who have service in tbe
civil war to their credit. The rank and
pay of a first lieutenant are not an enor
mous remuneration for the length and
value of the service which some of these
officers have rendered. Tlie retired list
shows also thirty-eight first lieutenants
who have seen war service, and while tbe
causes of retirement have been various,
yet they include some compulsory retire
ments for age. Only a year or two ago
occurred the retirement of a first lieuten
ant at the age of At Of course these ex
ceptional cases result from the fact that
some volunteer oflicers received commis
sions in the regular army after the war
when already considerably advanced in
years, and aho noii-cnmniLiKioned officers
averaging older titan the Military acad
emy graduates have been made second
lieutenants. But whatever tbe facts, it
is remarkable that with the war a quar
ter of a century in the past there should
be nearly a hundred officers in our little
army who served in tbosecampsigns and
are still on the active list witliout having
reached the grade of captain. Exchange.
