| THE OLD TREE'S" SECRET.
"We will take the house?shall we not,
Charlie?" We had gone all over the
roomy, old-fashioned house, my little
wife and 1. from the dusty, cobwebbed
garret to the neglected cellars, and we
now stood together at the back of the
garden, critically surveying its appear;
?ncc.
It was a low two-story house, built in
^ ? the shape of a T. with a cluster of tall
chimnevs in the middle and the three
gables hidden in ivy. It had once stood
quite out of the town, which had since
gradually crept toward it. until what had
been a road was now become a street of
straggling cottages and villas, extending
to the high wall inclosing the grounds.
The lawn was shaded with old trees, and
the garden choked up with thickets of
lilac and snowball. The old lady, Mrs.
Gage, who had for forty years resided
here, leading a very secluded and invalid
life, had taken no pains to keep the place
in order, and she and the property had
decayed together, until recently she had
died, and the house was for sale.
"It looks dreadfully gloomy and neglected,''
said Cede, gazing up at the
^ . back windows. "Mrs. Moss, next door,
fes, says that for twenty years no one has
occupied those up|>er rooms; and see
mm how the ivy has bound together those
shutters on the left. Hut it is a beautilui
old house, and I know that we can
make it bright and cheerful. And then
the garden?what a delight it will be to
the children and to ourselves, too. We
will take it, won't we. Charlie?"
Kt. * There was no resisting her pleading,
coaxing manner. So that very evening
|e I went to see the agent, and before the
week had e!aps0li the house was ours.
With what zeal and enjoyment we entered
upon the transformation of our
new abode. The masses of ivy were torn
gjfcv; down from the gables or judiciously
bR?.* trimmed; every door and window was
thrown wide to the fresh air and sunlight;
and paint and paper, muslin cur* ?*
tains, ana origin carpets uuu muiu limiting
unfile the house delightful to hehold.
This much accomplished, we turned
our attention to the garden. It was already
June. and the season too advanced
for much improvement; but we pulled
down the rotted arbors, thinned out the
thickets of roses and lilacs, and I caused
a little round table and some rustic garden
scats to be placed under an old tree
at the further end of the central walk.
Here, on returning from my office on the
warm, sunny evenings, we would sit?
Cecie engaged with some light stitching,
/ and I with cigar, books and papers.reading
to her, while our little ones ran wild
up and down the garden walks.
"This is thoroughly delightful,'' 1
remarked, one evening. "How is it,
Cecie, that we have managed to live
eight years of housekeeping life without
a garden
"Yes." she answered, radiantly, "it
is delightful. Living so much in the
open air one seems to take a new and
fresh growth, like the flowers. Only?
and here she glanccd uneasily around?
"Only, Charlie, I think?I fancy?that
this is not exactly the spot for our al
fresco boudoir."
"Why not? It faces the walk, it commands
a view of the house and the
" . whole garden. And these branches
hanging so low and clothed in ivy, make
a nice canopy above us. What is it that
you object to?
"I scarcely know. But somehow I
have never liked this tree."
It was a very old tree under which we
sat, with a huge gnarled trunk growing
in a sloping position near the garden
wall, and covered with ivy. About eight

into three branches, and here the ivy had
matted itself in an impervious mass, concealing
the dccayed branches with the
exception of the extremities, which here
and there protruded from-the green mass,
white and bare.
"They look like skeleton fingers,"
said Cecie, glancing up, "and it gives
me the horrors. I think the tree ought
to be cut down. It always reminds me
of a graveyard or a haunted house."
I did not at the time pay much atten*
tion to her remarks. But sonic days
after she again suggested that our gar*
den table and chairs should be removed
to some other spot.
"I don't know why it is," she said,
uneasily, "but I always feel nervous
here. I fancy there is something pecuculiar
about the place?in the rustling of
the ivy and in the very atmosphere; I
Eterv- often find myself starting and looking
around with a vague sense of something
horrible. I hate the sight of that tree,
with its distorted shape and bare skeleton
arms.1'
if I rallied her upon bein<; fanciful, but
promised that the "skeleton arms'' of
which she complained should be cut olf.
She sat silent for a moment, then said,
seriously:
"Charlie, did it ever occur to you that
MBpV'v'" certain objects in nature -trees, for instance?may
have an individual life of
nyvr" their own? I don't mean the mere vege
table life, but a sort of mysterious spirit
ual existence. Now, I can't help fancying
that this tree is conscious of wh it is
I going on beneath it?that it remembers
(tilings which 11 mis wimcsseu m ii? iuhj^ i
>S.- life, and. were it able, could tell us some
horrible ghastly story of the past. You
may laugh, but I assure you that I never
sit under this tree, even on a sunny noonday,
without feeling a chill creeping over
me, and a sense of something mysterious
and horrible, which makes me almost
afraid."
"Of course," I said; "having once imagined
that the dead branches resemble
'skeleton arms,' and associated them in
your own mind with the idea of a graveyard.
you will be haunted with all sorts
i of dismal thoughts and fancies in connection
with the tree. But since you
don't like it, Cecie, I will have this bugbear
removed, and we will build a pretty
summer-house on the spot. I will speak
^ to the men to-morrow, when they come
to take down the wall."'
The portion of the wall to which I al
luded separated our garden from that of j
|*v our next door neighbor. It was of stone, I
jfgr* but the mortar had fallen out and left it j
little more than a pile of loose stones, i
j which I feared might at any moment
topple down on the children, as they
played about it. So I concluded to have
jjsSj jt pulled down, and a light wooden palS&r
ng placed in its stead. ,
Over there, in the next house, lived an
WLt, old gentlemen and his wife, who passed
gv2 much of their time in thtir garden, cultivating
flowers and small garden fruits,
in which they appeared to take great deHp
light. 'J hey had called on us, a cheerful
|&j and kindly old couple; and when the old
wall was pulled down and before the new !
. one was up, the way lay open to a more
familiar intercourse.
One evening, by their invitation, we
stepped over into their garden to see a j
collection of roses upon which Mr. War- i
ren prided himself. These duly admired, !
the old lady expressed to Cecie her pleas- t
ure in naving neignDors wno were neiga- i
bore. She. bad lived ten years in their 1
present abode, and in that time had only 1
twice seen Mrs. Gage! r
' She wasn't always such a recluse," 1
said the good lady. "I remember that r
when she and her husband first came g
here, a young married couple (I was a
j&: . child then), they were merry, gay and t
fond of society. It was their daughter's j
fate which so sadly changed them. You t
have heard the story ?"
We had not been long in this town,
? yet Cecie remembered to have heard o
something about a daughter of Mrs. Gage c
running away to join a lover at a dis- I
t?nce, and being never afterward heard v
of. t
"Her name was Emily," sflld Mrs. v
Warren, "and she was the handsomest f
girl in the town. She was an only child, t
nd had been all her life petted and in- T
lulged, and allowed to have her own
ray. Such children don't generally turn
>ut as well astaeyshould do; and Emily
lagc rejected many good offers, to fall
11 love with a handsome and dissipated j
fellow, who made his appearance here
for a short time, lacing unable to give a
satisfactory account of himself, Mr. (Jage
forbade his visiting his daughter, and j
the two then agreed upon an elopement, i
This was put a stop to, and the young t
man shortlv afterward left the place. |
i * _l . ...I
1 ne gin, nowcvrr, was i ?aa?vw, r
the parents having cause to suspect that ]
she was in secret correspondence with
him. And one morning she was nowhere
to be found?only a note slipped
under the door of her parents' sleeping- ]
room informed them that she had gone .
to join her lover ? that she had
taken with her all her jewelry to- gether
with five hundred dollars, which ]
her father had left in his writing-desk;
since she would need money for traveling
and other expenses. And that was the
last that they ever knew about her."
' Hut could they not find the young
man ?" asked Oecic.
''They found him, after a long search,
but he denied all knowledge of Emily
and her intended flight. They had cor- i
responded, and she had assurred him |
that she would yet find means to join
him, hut her letters had then ceased, nor
had he ever since heard trom her. This
was his story. Sonv believed it, but
others, though nothing could ever be
proven against him, h:ul dark suspicions
of him. And the strangest thing was,
that, having once passed the garden wall,
every trace of the girl was utterly lost.''
"The garden wall ?"
"I forgot to mention that it was in that
manner she escaped. She mounted the
sloping trunk of the old tree at the foot
of the garden walk?the same under
which you so often sit- -and then stepped
along its horizontal branches to the top
of the wall. This was rendered evident
by the broken twigs and scattered leaves
at the foot of the tree. On the ground
outside the wall was found her shawl,
* - * " T- 1 f....
which she had uououess uruppi-u <ji juigotten
in her haste. That was all. To
this day the mystery of her fate remains
unrevealed. though undoubtedly there
was foul play somewhere. The jewels
and the money were great temptations
to crime."
That evening my wife said to me:
" That horrible tree. Charlie ! Did I
tell you that it had a secret to reveal?
Perhaps it knows what became of that
poor girl."
Next day Cecie went on a visit of a
few days to her mother, taking the children
with her. Before going to my
business I gave orders respecting the
tree. I wished every trace of it to be
removed before her return, when perhaps
she would forget all about it and its
srlooiny associations.
Returning home in tlie evening, I was
met by the workmen with countenance
of interest and mystery. Their information
startled me. While busied in
cutting down the tree, they had heard
something rattle and fall within; and on
examination discovered within the bones
of a skeleton, though whether human or
not they could not tell. Communicating
the fact to Mr. Warren, who was in his
garden, the\ had by his advice desisted
until my arrival.
I went to the spot, and with the men
and Mr. Warren examined the tree.
Though the opening already made the
bones were clearly to Ik* distinguished:
and I directed that the trunk should at I
once be felled. When this was done I
there was exposed a hollow stump, in i
which lay a mass of human bones, with j
remains of a woman's dress; and beneath |
these and the decayed wood and dust l
which hart gathered over'them gleamed
the lustre of jewels and cold and silver
coin.
I looked at Mr. Warren, who, white
as death, had staggard to a garden
i 1.
UUIH.I1.
" My Godl'' he exclaimed. " It is? :
Emily!"
Yes, it was Emily. Of this there I
could be no doubt. The tree had long !
held its fearful secret, and was still un- j
able to reveal it. It had given up
Emily's skeleton, but how came the poor I
girl to be immured within this living I
tomb?
Further examination, however, re- J
vcaled the whole horrible truth.
"I see how it all was," my old neigh- j ,
borsaid, in a broken and faltering voice, .
"She had thrown her shawl over the j
wall that it might not be in her way, !
and then mounted the tree to where the j '
three great branches meet; and there, I
hidden by the masses of ivy, lay the i
fatal trap. Through that great hole she ,
slipped, and the ivy closed over her in |
her living tomb." I ,
fie shuddered, and the tears gushed ;
into his eyes.
We neither of us expressed the thoughts i
which chilled and moved our hearts to i
pitying horror. Had lit-r death been j
sudden, or had she here slowly starved j ,
and pined to death ? Her cries could
not have been heard, for the house stood j
apart, and her parents had left home and j
gone in pursuit of her. I thought of |
t'ecic's strange fancy concerning the old i
tree, and lost myself in vague conjectures
as to the nature of those mysterious influences
which sometimes affect our J
Vinmnn ncrfcntinns. how or whence we I
may not know. i
This was the secret which the old tree !
so long held. And 1 may add that to j
this day Cecie kno.vs nothing ?>f it; for. !
beside the clergyman who gave Christian I
burial to the remains of the poor girl, j
no one but ourselves, who made the dis- I
covery, ever knew the secret. We j
thought it best that it should be so.
Hut I observed that Cecie never after j
complained of the uneasy influence which j
had before so annoyed her. With the
removal of the tree and the burial of the
bones, nature resumed her bright and
joyous sway in the old garden.?Sti-vtu

The crusher went down on the floor of

"When he returned to the gallery he asked

Singular Phenomenon.
There was once found a pair ??f field 1
glasses in the desert near what is known !
as Death Valley. The glasses are supposed
to have belonged to Hahn, a lost
guide of Wheeler's expedition. They
were brought into one of the interior
towns by an Indian, and were purchased
from him. The most singular fact connected
with them is that every object
within range of where the glasses had
been lying for a year or more is distinctly
photographed upon them. We have
heard of such phenomena before, but this
is one of the most remarkable instances
we remember.
Both object glasses are covered with \

An inquiry by :t Cincinnati Noca reporter
among sonic of the leading dealers

he alarming fact was generally recoglized
among those who cater to the donatids
of fashion in the matter of false
lair, that the growth of the hair was injured
by the climate of this country.
"Yes," said an extensive importer,

"No, I cannot say how* it is that the
climate has such an ellcct on the hair.
It may be that the Anglo-Saxon race is
not yet thoroughly acclimated. At any
rate, American women as a class have
not the luxuriant hair European women
have. Emigrants, too, who arrive with
splendid heads of hair, in from five to
ten years have but a few rat tails, figuratively
speaking, to boast of. A proof of
the destructive influence of the climate
on the hair is furnished by the increasing
sale of wigs. There never was such a
demand for wigs as at present. Human
beings are not alone affected 111 this way.
The sheep that bear the finest jjrades of
wool are also injuriously affected in this
climate. The wool loses its lustre, and

years' residence in America, find their
way into the butcher's shop before they
have an opportunity of getting tough

is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
' Where, then, do you get the hair
from that forms the head pieces, switches,
etc., that are the staple of your business?*'
asked the reporter.
' Kurope and China."
"China? Why. I thought the ccclesiastial
iaws of that country forbade the
Mongolian to uart with his hirsute adorn
o i
mcnts. The <|iicuc tncrc is supposed to
be its sacred as the eat in Egypt or the
monkey in India?or the pig in Cincinnati."
"Young man." said the merchant in
hair, "I will gladly give you any information
I can iu relation to my business;
but if you persist in tiring scientific problems
at tnc I shall have to plead another
engagement."
' Well, then, to what base uses do you
apply the sacred Chinese pigtail?"
"If by that you mean the Chinese hair,
it is a coarse article from which we fabricate
the cheapest headpieces, switches,
etc. Laugtry bangs made of Chinese
hair will retail for seventy-five ccntsand
upward, and Chinese hair switches
realize from two to four dollars. They
are not. however, very substantia!, as
the process the hair has to undergo in
order to render it salable makes it
brittle."
"Is there any danger of importing
leprosy or other contagious diseases in
the hair from China?"
"I cannot say that there is no danger
to the importer of the raw material, so to
speak; the manufactured article passes
through a chemical process before it is
made up that destroys all the germs of
disease. No, there is no danger to the
consumer.

"From Europe principally. The dark
hair from France and Spain, light brown

mixture of races produce a crop heterogenous

"How do merchants in Europe get possession
of the hair
"They have traveling agents who go
from village to village and bargain with
rustic beauties for their tresses. Peasant
maidens, with a wealth of hair, are in the
habit of selling it and purchasing with
the proceeds articles of tinerv so dear to
the female heart. Of course with shorn
heads they have a tom-boy appearance
for a time, but nature soon supplies the

[>f twent> years I have not purchased
more than a dozen heads of hair direct
from women upon whose heads the hair

where women sell their hair is in
the Canadian Provence of Quebec.
There the rural population is mostly made
up of French inhabitants, and the customs
of old France are strictly observed
by those people. The hair dealer still
plies his trade there. American women
will not sell thiselement of female beauty.
They must be reduced to abject poverty
before they will barter this inheritance of
nature."
"How much can a woman procure for
a good head of hair?"
''The prices vary according to color.

brown hair and black are very valuable.

it is disinfected before anything is done
with it. We have to dye gray and red
hair, but dyed hair is not as valuable as
hair of natural color."
"What are the prevailing modes in
hair to-day?"
"Front pieces, known as Laugtry bangs
and Langtry curls, arc the prevailing
fashion. Those who have plenty of hair of
their own use these false pieces on account
of their convenience. They are
always curled, and do not become disarranged
like one's own hair. Switches went
out of fashion a couple of years ago, but
now the sale is beginning again. The
present is an era of revival-in the hair
business all round, and it may be taken
as another evidence of the force of capillary

The Name of America.
The geographies tell us that the name

of one of the navigators who followed
Columbus?Americus Vespucius. His real
name, however, was Yespucii, unci Yespucius
is the Latinized form of it, just as
Americus is supposed to be the Latin for
Amerigo.
But why should this continent have
have been called America? If it hud been
called after Columbus, it would have been
not Christopheria, but Columbia. Why,
not, then, if Columbus was to be robbed
L>f his honor, call the land Vespucia?
And was Vespucci's name Amerigo? Mr.
['harlesMackav maintains that it was not.
Ho has seen a very rare volume, published
in Milan only nine years after the death of
Vespucci, describing his voyages and discoveries,
in which his name is given as
iVlbertatio.
(if course it is possible that this was a
misprint, though such an error would be
unlikely to occur on a title-page in those
lays of careful printing, lint Mr. Mackay
lias not been abln to discover when the
name America was tirst applied to this
continent.
lie has a theory that it was not derived
from Vespucci's name at all, but

America, and spells the name one way.

HEALTH HINTS.
Exercise to the extent of great fatigue
docs more harm than good.
A hearty meal, taken while excessively
fatigued, has often destroyed life.
Chilliness of body dampens the spirits,
sours the temper and renders the whole
man unlovely.
The best auodvne in all nature is
moderate, steady and continuous exercise
in the open air.
The thinnest veil or silk handkerchief
thrown over the face while riding or walking
against a cold wind is a remarkably
comfortable protection.
Nine-tenths of the inmates of insane |
asylums who recover are those who arc j
sent within a year after the first inani- |
festation of their infirmity.
Life is warmth, growth, repair and j
power, to labor, and all these are derived j
from the food we eat and the fluids we
drink, and these should be good.
Never sit or stand with the wind blowing
on you for a single moment, for it
speedily produces a chill, to be followed
with a fever and then a bad cold.
The worst cold may be promptly cured
if, within twenty-four hours after it has
been taken, the patient will keep warm
in bed and eat little or nothing for a day
or two.
Cleanliness in all the surroundings of
a family mansion pays richly in many
ways, in good health, moral elevation,
personal comfort, and dollars and cents
beside.
In going out into a colder air. keep the
mouth resolutely closed, and wain briskly
for a few minutes, thus preventing
'.i.:ii;,w.l.u iilwavs the ncrcursor
of :i cold.
A good cleansing of the entire body
with soap and warm water once a week
is all the bathing the human system requires
for purposes of health, in ordinary
circumstances. . '
Nature is very much like a shiftless

A Turkish Military Episode.
The personal bravery of the Turkish
soldier is too well known to require
repeated assertion, but I may mention
u remarkable exhibition of it which
fell under my own notice. During Omer
Pasha's Bosnian campaign, in which I accompanied
him in order to report to
Lord Stratford on his progress in suppressing
a gieat rebellion, we marched
along the valley of the river Bosna, which
was too deep for fording, in the hope of
being able to cross it at a ferry some
miles further west. The enemy were in
force on the other side. A captain of
cavalry was sent on with fifty men to
take possession of the ferry-boat. When
we reached the place, the boat was there
and the captain was there, but instead
of fifty men there were not more than
twenty. The Pasha asked where the
rest were. The captain pointed to the
river, and replied with perfect quietness
of manner that he had found the ferryboat
on the other side of the river, defended
by hundreds of armed Bosnians,
and that he had been obliged to swim
the stream and bring the boat back under
a fire which had killed thirty of his
men, " Aferin, Dervish Agha," was all
Omer Pasha said. I lost patience with
his cold. "Well done, Dervish Agha,"
after such a gallant feat. I told him that
in an English or French force an officer
would have immediately been promoted
for it, and asked him how he could expect
his troops to distinguish themselves
without other acknowledgment than such
faint praise. ''Well, well, you need not
get excited over it,"answered the Pasha,
coolly,lighting a cigar. " Dervish Agha,
I promote you to the command of your
regiment, which is vacant. You shall
have your firman as colonel by return of
post from Stamboul. Fall in, and pass
the word to all the coloneh that we halt
in half an hour here to give their men a
smoke." The young officer saluted and
fell in at the head of his regiment with !
an unconcerned look which surprised me.
Omcr Pasha, who could not live without
smoking, never indulged in a cigar without
allowing all those with him to light
their pipes. As Turks, they adored him i
accordingly. At a later period of this j
campaign, a trustworthy officer of rank .
was required to take charge of an expc- '
dit ion into Herzegovina. Omer Pasha j
said to me that he had 110 one lit for it. ;
I suggested that Dervish Hey might suit j
him. The Pasha adopted the idea, and
the expedition was perfectly successful. '
The colonel was made a general for it. J
Long afterward I met him as Dervish j
Paslm. and lie reminded me that lie owed
his quick promotion to my taking his i
part at the ferry of the Bosna. In the j
last war with Kussia, he commanded the i
army corps defending Batoum, and his j
name lias since become very well and
very favorably known to Europe in
connection with Dulcigno.? Temple linr.
Aspects or the Body.
It may seem a dream to those who have
not thought upon the subject to suppose
that any connecting link can be tound
between such animals as worms, mollusks,
crustacea, spiders and insects, on
the one hand, and fishes, amphia, rep- j
tiles, birds and mammals on the other, j
Yet it is a significant fact that if any one I
of the first series of animals be turned !
upon its back, the heart, nervous system, j
stomach, etc., stand in precisely the same j
relative position to each other as they do j
in the latter series. The only thing that !
differs in position is the mouth, which in
the first series opens out between the two

the Chief Dispatcher Said.
Percy, Wyoming Territory, can hard
ly be called a city. It cannot boast of
an opera-house, sewers, aldermen, daily
papers, the electric light, or a dog
pound. Outside of the section house
and a small affair called a station there
nre no bui.dings to speak of, if one cares
to speak the truth. Not so very long
ago a man named Allen?Winfield Scott
Allen?was stationed there as night operator,
and one Sunday evening, after
said Allen had been up late, instead of
wooing the drowsy god whose name
looks very much like "morphine" in
print, he received a message from the
dispatcher's office in Laramie, telling
him to hold ".No 7" for orders, lie reau
a novel. The arduous labors of the day,
however, had told upon the frail constitution
of Winfielrt and just as he
reached that point in the volume in
which Gwendoline had consented to bid
defiance to her stern and unyielding
parents, and elope with her own and
ownest Gerald McCloskey, the tired
operator dropped ofT to sleep, showing a
lack of sympathy for the heroine that
could only be excused on the ground of
extreme fatigue. Meanwhile his redlamp

^o. 7 came inunaering aiong?a mu^
train of loaded freight cars with a half
dozen emigrant coachcs in the rear, filled
with men, women and children en route
for the Golden Gate. Engineer Mathison,
as he nearcd the station, glanced inquiringly
at the signal-post for the rcdlitrht
which he half expected to see
there, but all was dark. The long train
swept by and disappeared in the black
night. Allen still slept; the thunder of
the passing cars had not broken, in the
slightest degree, his slumbers, or the
regularity of his snores. * * *
For the last hour the chair on which
Allen sits has been throwing out distress
signals. The sleeper has tilted it back
until his whole weight rests on the rear
limbs, which, after sundry squeaks and
groans, gave way. Allen gives way at
the same time. The iloor, on which he
alights, doesn't. As the overworked
brass pounder and four-ace manipulator
gathers himself up from the floor and
gazes ruefully at the ruins of the only
chair there is in the building, he becomes
conscious of the fact that the instrument
on the table is sounding his "call" with
startling rapidity. lie grasps the keys
and rc]>lies*"I."
"Where is number seven ?"
"Hasn't arrived yet," replied Allen.
"Are you sure ?"
"Yes; don't think it could get by without
my hearing it, do you ?"
"Have you been asleep ?"
"No."
"Got a red light out ?"

"How does it happen, then, that the
operator at Fort Steele reports the arrival
of number seven at that place ?''
Allen was paralyzed?partially. He
rushed to the djoraud found no red
light?only a lantern.
He took in the whole situation in a
second, and, seizing the key once more
replied:
"Blamed if I know. No. 7 hasn't
passed here to-night. If she's at Steele
she must have gone around by the overland
stage road, it runs within a few
ruiles of here, you know." * * *
There had been no accident. No. 10
had orders to meet No. 7 at St. Mary's,
but had been delayed at Fort Steele by
a hot box until after the arrival of that
train.
Allen packed his grip, and every time

Baxter came along. He took Allen to

up his mind that the official ax was about
to fall. Baxter said:
' Don't go asleep again while on duty,
I and for goodness'sake don't let anymore
trains go around over the old stage road.
The alkali mud cats the paint off the locomotive

required to pull up some o." these hill# is

him up. You can catch him, because
the r.mdbed is so uneven that he can't

Allen said he would.?Liramie Ihwmcrany.
Civilized, Bnt No Bread.
There arc civilized nations a large proportion
of whose peasantry cat little or
no bread. Baked loaves of bread arc unknown
in many parts of South Austria
and of Italy and throughout the agricul
tural districts of Roumania. In the villages
of the Oberstcicrmark, not very
many miles from Vienna, bread is never
seen, the staple food of the people being
sterz, a kind of porridge made from
ground beech nuts, which is taken at
breakfast with fresh or curdled milk, at
dinner with broth or with fried lard, and
with milk again for supper. This sterz
is also known as heriden, and takes the
place of bread not only in the Steicrmark,
but in Carinthia and in many parts of the
Tyrol. In the north of Italy the peasantry
live chiefly on polenta, a porridge
made of boiled maize. The polenta however,
is not allowed to granulate like
Scotch porridge or like the Austnan
sterz, but is boiled into a solid pudding,
which is cut up and portioned out with a
string. It is eaten cold as often as
hot, and is in every sense the Italian
peasant's daily bread. The modern
Roumanians are held by many scholars to
be descended from a Roman colony, in
other words, to be the cousins of the
Italians, and, curiously enough, a variation
of the polenta called mamaliga is the
national dish of Roumania. The malign
is like the polenta in that it is
made of boiled maize, but it is unlike the
latter in one important respect, as the
grains arc not allowed to settle into a
solid mass, but are kept distinct, after
the fashion of oatmeal porridge.
The Blble-and-Key Test for Theft.
Keports of "rows'* between the Amazons,
nf London alleys, do n-t often furnish
such interesting rending tis does a
case which was before a Thames police
magistrate the other day. Mrs. Lyons, it
seems, had "missed'* her shawl and she
made up her mind to find out the thief by
means of the unfailing test of the "Bible
and key." The door key with a piece of
string attached was accordingly laid inside
the Bible, with the wards flat upon
the leaves. Mrs. Lyons then closed the
book, took hold of the part of the key
which she had left projecting, and proceeded
to pronounce the names of various
"suspects," repeating after each nume the
following incantation:
Turn. Bible, turn, turn round the key:
Turn, key, turn, und show the name to 111.'
At the name of Mrs. O'Brien the key
gave such a turn that it twisted itself out
of her hand and loll on the tloor. There
arc, however, several Mrs. linens mute

the test of the Bible had been unprepared,
and the confusion which naturally fol
lowed led to the "row" in question.?1'nll

desert, says Hurckhardt, poetry is equally
esteemed. Many persons arc founlwho
make verses of true measure, although
they cannot cither read or write

chosen terms only, and as the purity of

part of the early poetry of the Arabs
whicli has decended to us is derived
from similar compositions. Ibn Saoud
had assembled the best, poets of the
Desert of Derayeh; he delighted in poetry,
and very liberally rewarded those who
excelled in it. According to the Arab
"custom, if a reputable poet address some
verses to a sheika, or a distinguished
warrior, he will receive a camel or some
sheepasa present. The largesses, which
in former times v ere bestowed on poets
by Arabian chiefs, are still the subject of
frequent conversation among t.he Bedo- j
uins.

Fish That Go Ashore.
An old fisherman took a scientific re- q
Eorter of the New York Sun to a pool on
ong Island, where they found numerous ^
little fishes (killies) resting partly out of
water, with their heads high and dry upon A
blades of grass. The old man also spun
a yarn about some large fishes that he nad ^
seen hoppingalong on the banks of a river
in the Malay country. These fishes were
recognized from the fisherman's descrip- '
tion by the man of science, who then took
his turn at telling fish stories as follows:
' 'The fish is only one of a dozen or twenty ?
that are more or less amphibious. When ?
the C'eradotus is under water it breathes ^
by the gills, but it has a habit oi leaving
the water and prowling around 011 the
marshes of the Mary river. As soon as it V
leaves the water the gas in the air bladder
is expelled with a noise that can be s
heard half a mile. The fish takes in air
at the mouth or nostril that passes into
the air bladder, to which the heart is now
pumping blood to be purified, instead of ?
sending it to the gills.
"The Ceradotus. which may be called a E
dry land fish, is over six feet long, and
looks like a great eel with two pairs T
of fins that compare with feet, and the F
most curious part of it is that previous to
1870 the fish was unknown, except as a c
fossil. These fossil remains were described
years aco by Professor Owen as the ("era- \
dotus. Strange stories came from the Mary j
river of loud noises that were heard in the ^
swamps at night, and the crushing and
rushing as of some huge animal. At last ^

naturalist, who went to the locality, and
the discovery of the fish was the result.
They live on leaves and vegetable matter
that they obtain partly out of water, and
they are the last of a powerful race that
is probably doomed to extinction.
" The killies are not the only fishes ^
that leave the water. Last year I spent
some weeks near a small fishing village s
where there was a large eel pond, and to n
say that it was alive with these animals
is putting it extremely mild. Some au- t
thorities say that the eel goes down to ^
the sea only once a year, but these fellows
went out to sea every night, completely
filling the little channel so that in ?
wading across you stepped on hundreds
that writhed about your feet and legs.
If there happened to be a dory or other
boat about that blocked the way,the eels '
left the water and wriggled away over 1
land, presenting a curious sight, and '
moving with such rapidity that it was an
impossibility to catch them. I thought
it might be accidental, and inquired of
the fishermen how it was, and one told
ine that several years before the entrance
to the pond became clogged by sand ,
after a storm, and the eels, finding no ,
way of getting out, started across tne ]
sand every night, forming passageways
by which they returned.
,lIn England, when a pike pond gets
too low to suit its occupants, they, according
to Couch, start overland in regular
droves, and travel until they reach 1
some place better suited to their requirements.
This is true of a large number of
fishes that are peculiar to the East and to 1
3outh America. In the latter country the
catfishes known Doras and Hussars, when
left in drying pools, travel overland in
droves, and are caught in great num- !
hers by birds and various ani- 1
mals as well as men. Fishes of
another genera, from North America, 1
have been found far from water. Perhaps
the most curious is the Protopterus,
some being found in Africa us well.
They also breathe by the air bladder
when deprived of water, but instead of
migrating overland they descend into
the mud and encase themselves into a
ball, the interior of which is lined with
a slimy secretion, and thus closed u|>, as
it were, they lie until the rainy season
comes again, and tiiey arc soukcu out.
In ccrtain parts of Africa barren wastes
have suddenly become flooded, and the
sudden appearance of lishes lias given
rise to ideas of spontaneous generation,
as the enormous quantities of fishes could
not be explained 011 any other hypothesis
unless they had Mined down. Daldorf,
the Danish naturalist, caught an anatas,
a perch like fish climbing a palm, working
its way up by its sharp fins. Hence,
these fish are called climbing perch. They
don't climb usually, but they are perfectly
amphibious, like a frog.
"As a matter of course, these fishes
have been experimented upon. An English
naturalist put a blenny in an aijuarium,
and at certain times noticed that the
fish tried to jump out of water. To see
what it would do, lie set a stone in the
water that formed a little island, and in
a moment the blenny jumped upon it,
high and dry out of water. The experimentalist
noticed that it was then low
tide on the beach, and every day at. exactly
low tide the fish jumped out upon
the rock, and returned to the water at
flood tide. It is remarkable that the
fish should leave the water, but how
much more so that it should in a house
and tank know the turn of the tide.''
Earthquakes and Luminous Paint.
The connection between earthquakes
and luminous paint would hardly be an
parent to any one without explanation.
It nevertheless exists, and the recent
earthquakes in our own country have
served to remind us of its existence. As
a matter of fact large consignments of
this paint are sent to those countries
where earthquakes are prevalent. The <
use to which it is put invests it with the 1
utmost importance just for the few criti- 1
cal moments of the shock. In the Philip- 1
pine Islands, where earthquakes are not
uncommon, small metallic plates coated 1
with luminous paint are so placed about '
the premises that at the first warning the '
inmates arc quickly guided to the door, 1
and thus to the street. In Manila it is 1
laid on in patches about the bed-rooms I
fiml stnirciiMfts. snrvinxr as fruides for the '
door handles and the stains, night lights I
being considered especially dangerous as '
likely to set fire to the falling house, and '
thus to roast the inmates in their own
homes. It follows that those who live in 1
districts likely to be visited by earth- *
quakes will do well to adopt this plan. (
and to burn no Hume lights at night, es- 1
pccially in the case of gas, the pipes for 1
which might be broken asunder, and the (
gas escape and take fire. The gas should {
be turned oil at the main nightly, and '
luminous labels be so placed as to indi- '
cate the door handles and other guides (
to the main point of egress, which would {
enable the residents to find their way out 1
of their houses in the dark before the '
walls perchance buried them. It will be
remembered that at Ischia there was just (
sufficient time between the first shock 8
of the earthquake and the downfall of s
the Grand hotel to permit those who 1
acted promptly to save their lives.?Iron. (

that of 12,000,000 Indians one-half were
destroyed by smallpox. From August,
1871, to August, 1872, 4.410 deaths occurred
in Philadelphia, the mortality being
one in every five cases. Inoculation
was introduced into England from the
East by Lady Mary Wortley Montague,
in 1714, and into America by Dr. Boylston,
of Boston, in 1721. This process,
which, by the mildness of the attack, was
nearly always protective of the individual,
at the same time propagated the
disease by multiplying the amount of
virus. .Tenner's introduction into English
practice of vaccination proper?that
is by the inoculation with the virus of
cow-pox, known before his time
among dairymen?has, however, greatly
abridged, not only the destructiveness,
but the prevalence of smallpox. The
theory of vaccination is. in brief, that
the vaccine virus is merely the diluted
virus of common smallpox or variola. A
vaccinated person in whom the virus
"takes,''has had a modified smallpox,
iind ordinarily is not susceptible to the
malignant, or, indeed, any form of the
disease. With most of the zymotic
diseases?smallpox, scarlatina, measles,
whooping cough, diphtheria, etc.?one
ittack, even though not severe, usually
secures immunity for life. No fact is
better established in medicine than that
most persons are, by one good vaccination,
protected for life; also, that varioloid?modified
smallpox?occurring in
:hc vaccinated is seidom fatal, and rarely
)roduces pits. Nevertheless an unjustiied
distrust of vaccination has, within a
few years, done harm in many locaities.
Experience shows that a number of
icrsons. after several years, reacquire
he susceptibility to smallpox. The highest
authorities place the proportion liable
o variolous infection after having been
raccinated at two and one-third percent.
)f M,000 cases of smallpox in the Lon- :
Ion hospitals, in the epidemic of 1870- ;
"3, only four presented proof of having '
)cen revaccinated. In 1880. in the same
:ity, the death-rate per million in Lonlon
from smallpox was ninety among ]
he vaccinated against 3.350 among the
invaccinuieu.
In the light of nil the facts of medical
ixperience and practice, it is safe and ,
tdvisable on the occasion of epidemic
imallpox to rejwat the viccination. The
>])erati(>n is insignificant, without dancer ,
if any moment, and if followed by a ,
genuine * vesicle and sore arm, the brief
lisoomfort may insure permanent immu- ,
lity from the dreaded disease.?Indian- \

Overloading at Sea. ' ?n
A stiip was sent to sea terribly over '
den. The captain was as fine a young ?x]
llow as ever stood on a bridge, and he
>ok his risk like a man; but before sail*
,g he wrote a letter which, with its
ird and unrestrained pathos, is enough
i wring one's heart. He said to his
ither: "We are badly overladen, and I
d not think we shall return any more."
his letter was brought out at the in- 0
uiry, after the poor fellow's prophecy- eve:
id been fulfilled. It is now in Mr. is t
hamberlain's possession, I believe. Uls

Thrall. I have been practicing medicine p,
for thirty years, and have had some very d<
difficult cases. I know of one man who came
from England. His was a severe case of "
kiiney complaint. He was a great sufferer, M
and had almost given op hopes of finding a
relief. After he had used four bottles of the ?
medicine I gave him he was relieved through *
the natural channel of a piece of oxolate of ?
lime calculus fully as large as a hazel nut, of t?
a very irregular shape, somewhat like a griain ~
of corn when popped open. It was of a dark !_
brown color. It passage was of course ac- "
companied by very severe and cutting pains, di
I am pleased to say tie is a well man now. a fall
account of the matter appeared in .the T
"Banner of Light" at the time, and was
much commented on by the medical fratemity?
r.
Not long ago I had three or four cases of
dropsy. One of them lived twenty miles
from here. In these cases sometimes the f1
perrons swell to an enormous size. Ul
I could enumerate any number of pecsons tl
who have despaired of grttipg well, and I *
have cured them, as I pwsriroe a never-fail- CI
ing medicine?one that I have used in all di
s milar cases for six year?, namely, Hunt's el
Remedy; and I give it to them in the original a
package, and after the most thorough and "
exhaustive provings I am fully convinced of c'
its superior merits and specific action upon '<
the diseases for which it is recommended. '?
In short, Hunt's Remedy cures when every- ?
thing else fails. ?
