The best remedy for bleeding at the
nose, as given by Dr. Gleasou at one of
his lectures, is in the vigorous motion of
the jaws as in the uct of chewing. In
the case of a child a wad of paper should
be inserted to chew it hard. It is the
motion of the jaws that stops the flow
of blood. This remedy is so very sunpie
that many will feel inclined to laugh at
it, but it has never been known to fail
in a single instance, even in the severest
cases. says the Scientific American.
Colli feet in Ileil.
~ This is a very common complaiut. and
one that causes a great deal of sleeplessness?
first, on retiring at night, and
again, early in the morniug we are awoke
by cold feet, and cannot get them warm
except by drawing them tip almost to
the chin. This occurs not only in I he
young, but in the middle aged and
the old. For this there arc two remedies?the
hot bott'e and lamb's
wool socks, either or both of which may
be used. When we consider that during
the day, while we are active, we wear
stockings and shoes, does it not seem
strange that at night, when the temperature
of the air is lower, and when we
are inactive, that our feet should have
less covering than during the day? The
reasonable plan is to have a special pair
of socks for night use, put thcrn on when
going to bed, and change them when we
get up: the result will be better and
more serene sleep, consequently we shall
be more able to undergo our daily exertions.
1 say at once, to all who suffer
from cold feet, get a pair of warm socks
for night wear. A good walk for half
an hour before retiring warms the feet
and sends a nice glow ail through the
body, and disposes to sleep, it must
not be supposed that these remedies

are simply to retain the heat of the body
and allow of comfort, and, if followed,
much benefit will be derived.?2\ 1!.
Aliinson, AI. D.
Weak I'jres,
Many girls, those kept too much in
the house, and fed improperly, have weak
eyes, especially when they read flashy
literature late at night, or at the twilight
hour. An important principle is to sec
with the least elTort, never to strain or
overtax them, but simply to open them
and let them see. All efforts, in this
matter, using them under unfavorable
circumstances, by artificial light, if weak,
or when painful, in obscure light, at the
t'.vilight hour or in dark rooms, must he
injurious. Pain is inteuded as a warning?one
to be heeded. An hour's labor,
as sewing on dark cloth, when pain is
constant, is worse than a day's work at
other times, when the same clfort in the
evening or at twilight, may injuic the
sight more than that of the day.
Still another principle of the utmost
importance (I speak from an experience
of thirty years with weak eyes?inherited?but
now gaining steadily, though
used ten times as much as in the past>. I
refer to the iutluence of sunlight. To
occupy dark room-?, either from the absence
of windows or liom the use of
stained glass ("blue'' or not), dark
curtains, etc., is 'to have weak
eyes. This light is tho stimulus, the
food of the eyes, as bread is of
the stomach. My experience is in favor
of more than usual light (it now shines
on my page) as much as can be had
without producing unpleasant sensations,
after the first. A gradual use of it, as
much as convenient, is safe and judicious.
1 believe the darkening of the
sick 100m, save in exceptional cases, a3
in the measles, when dioided pain results,
is but less than cruelty, since this
game light is one of the best healers,
purifiers and cleansers known! If at
first painful, a wet cloth may be worn
over the eyes, modifying the light,
which will do more good than harm in
any sick room. The girl with weak
eyes should be much in the air and light,
and not with "blinders," using as much
of both as may be made ag.ceable. Ab
solute restis not necessary, since we gain
strength by exercise, usin^ our powers
judicially. It is safe to use weak eyes,
under favorable circumstances, until a
little pain, or a sensation of discomfort
appears.
Freouent winkinjr, as a mean3 of dis
tributing the tears, is of groat ad van I age
as a curative measure. When tears are
diminished iu quantity, artilicial ones
are supplied by making a mucilage of
rose water and the bark of the rout of the
sassafras tree, fouud at druggists, just
thin enough to run freely, putting it iu
the outer angle of the eyes at least three
times each day. A wet cloth, three or
four thicknesses, worn at night over
them, will keep them cool, reducing the
inflammation. Let them be comfortable.
I will add that s:ght is much impaired
by using glasses when not needed, dark
ones, or those the use of which renders
sight difficult. The important object of
them is to correct the distance or near
sight, not to improve personal appearance.
Since the air is transparent, it is
1 _ * - x ? ~? i ~..a:

should, be 30, that Sf cing may
not be laborious. It 13 jVdiciovs to use
glasses when necess-irv to change "fine
print to coarse," and to protect the eye
temporarily from the glare of the light.
If the young wear magnifying glasses too
soon, the l.-nscs of the eye will so change
as to soon rend.r tlicm necessary.
Looking through veils and the like, or
through the hair resulting from an absurd
style of wearing it, covering a beautiful
forehead, must impair the sight.?

The reccnt blowing up of Flood Rock at

more terrible in its ofTects. From the metropolitan
journals we gather the following par- *
ticulars: d
Tlie tug Dorie Emory, of Hoboken, began
at dusk to make up a tow to go to llondout, c
by hauling out from Candee & Smith's dock r
at the foot of East Sixty-third street, an (
empty brick scow. Half a dozen men were p
on the scow, and as soon as the tug headed f
down stream, against the tide, sat
down in the hold to eat their supper, 'llio
tug was to pick up another scow at Fiftythird
street, and kept within 401) feet of the
New York shore. She had reached Fiftyninth
street at about 5:35 p. m., and was off
the bluff known as Riverview Terrace, when
she blew up with a report that persons at the
Charity hospital on Blackwell's Island s.iy
was much louder than the last Hell Gate ex- e
i%l/\?5ir*n I i
The uppor works of the tug appeared to
leave her suddenly and the hull spread. I
'J here was a momentary glare, a long shock t]
with a sort of lull in the middle, and up went tl
a column of smoke and stea:n 700 or 45UU feet
in the air ::s straight as a rocket. With the E
culutnn went all sorts of wre.k, and some 0
say they saw one man who moved ^
his limls in the air. Then a wreckage a
began to fall over an area which extended 0
from First avenue to near Blackwell's Island, ^
and for many blocks up and down the river.
Most of the debris was small and pattered
like hailstones iu the streets and on roofs,
but loud thuds and crashes told of larger ^
pieces falling on houses and pavemeats
and in yards. The smokestack
and part cf the steam pipes were thrown on
the rocks at the foot of Eat>t Fifty-eighth ,
street and the shore was strewn with all
sorts of wreckage. Few windows remained "
unbroken on River View terrace, and in new
houses south of it, which are known as River d
View, ani hundreds of panes of glass were *
lirnbon in th ? nAi'hhm'hood of AveilUO A
and Fifty-eighth street, which is known as b
Sutton place. ^
Within a very few minutes 5,000 persons *
were at the river front or on their way there, v
and within a quarter of an hour four times * !
that number were on the shore or on the ter- B?
race in front of which the explosion
took place, peering into the darkness, b;
Police Captain Gunner . and a section T
of policemen went to Fifty-eiguth
street at the double quick. When C(
the tug blew up Pilot McAvoy was steering
the steamboat William H. Wickham across
to the island. He made quickly for the scow,
which was drifting helplessly, partly keeled "
over, toward Sixtieth straet. Her bows were
shattered, but those on board cried out to t(
him that none of them were hurt, but that fii
six men on the Dorie Emory had perished. ol
There was not a trace of the tug to be seen
on the water except here and there a piece of tl
timber. Making fast to the scow, Captain ol
McAvoy waited "until the Cornell tug Crosby \\
came along and took her in tow. The men b'
on the scow, although she was making water ti
fast, declined tj leave her, with the exception
of one who went in the William H. Wick- j,

had gathered around, and the water was
patrolled in every direction to discover
those who were on the
tug when she blew up. No tra :e was found : j*
except some receipts and billheads.
When the damage done on shore was investigated
it was found that, although no one dc
was hurt, hundreds had had narrow escapes
in the streets and in houses. A timber which s?
two men could hardiy lift fell at Fifty-Eighth m
street and First avenue, making a dent in the w
pavement. Pieces of iron and timi>er were
distributed promiscuously through the streats,
and many windows were shattered.
Five or six men?the captain, engineer, p
fireman, cook and deck-hands?were on the kJ
tugboat at the time of the explosion, and not
a vestige of any of them, alive or dead, could 06
be found.

The annual report of Mr. S. J. Kimball,
general superintendent of the life-saving service,
shows that at the close of the last fiscal
year the establisbmsnt embraced 203 stations,
157 being on the Atlantic, thirty-eight on the
lakes, Beven on the Pacific and one at the
falls of the Ohio, Louisville, Ky. The number
of disasters to documented vessels within
the field of station operations during the
year was 256. There were on board these
vessels 2,i'05 persons, of whom only ten were :
Jost. The shipwrecked persons who received
tuccor at the stations number 5(58. The estimated
value of the vessels involved in these 1
disasters was $3,519,550, and .that of their 1

The Funeral of Vice-President !
Hendricks at Indianapolis.
The Body Followed to the Grave by '
a Great Proc93sion. !
An immense concoursa of people from all
sections of the land participated at Indianapolis
in the last sad rites over the remains of
the dead Vice-President. The public buildings
and many private residences were
heavily draped with mourning emblems, and
business was entirely suspended.
The early morning trains on all railways
brought delegations from the national capital
and all tho leading cities of the Union, together
with an influx of people from Central
Indiana and Illinois. The cabinet was represented
by jSccretary of Stato Bayard, Secretary
Lamar, Secretary Whitney,
Secretary Endicott, and Postmaster-General
Vilas; the supreme bench
of the United States by Associate
Judges Matthews and Blatcliford; the
United States Senate by Senators Edmunds,
Allison, Pugh, Harris, Conger, Blair,
Dolph, Vest, Beck, Camden, Vance, Jones, 1
Voorhees, Payne, Palmer and Harris; 1
the House of Representatives by Messrs. 1
\V. R. Morrison, J. Blount. H. A. Her
bert, \V. S. Holman, William Springer. W. P. s
Hepburn, S. B. Ward, William Phelps, J. J. i
Kleiner, Thomas Ryan ami P. Dunn. The ?
number of active and ex-members of the \
Lower House present, in addition to those i
named, was large. The governors of In- i
diana, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky were <
present, attended by their staffs and numer- 2
ous State officers. Major-General Schofield I
was the chief representative of tho United
States army present. Ex-President Haye3 I
and General William T. Sherman were dis- fc
tinguished guosts, the latter accompanying
a delegation from St. Lonis.
Washington street was crowded hours before
the time for the services arrived to such
an extent that locomotion was almost im- ,
possible. The buildings along that thoroughfare
presented an almost unbroken lino of
drapery, the most conspicuous being the postoffice
and county court house.
One of the central points of attraction for '
the visiting multitude was the modest home
of the late Vice-Tresident on Tennessee '
street, a plain two-story brick structure, \
facing the State capitol building now in pro- j
cess of construction. On the front door of
the house was a black rosette, from which 1
was pendant a strip of black crape, which s
constituted tho only outward emblem of ,
mourning. On the street, in front of the house,
gathered a large but respectable crowd,which
grew in numbers as the forenoon advanced, t
A detail of police and soldiery was able,how- t
orAP tn L-onn f-.h? f'lonr in frnnf, nf tho
W,VM wx "VVI' v"w w" vvv >'vw* " w" v"w g
houss to enable friends and relatives of Mrs. ^
Hendricks and the members of the respective s
committees to gain admission to tho ground.
Emblems of mourning and memorial floral
designs were at hand everywhere. Among j
the mos5 notablo designs was a beautiful
flower piece from Miss Cleveland, the Fresi- *
dent's sister.
At U a. m. Mrs. Hendricks entered the room
for her last leave taking, accompanied by .
her brothef and Mrs. Morgan. The ordeal
was most trying, and tiie desolate woman ?
seemed to be utterly prostrated, clinging =
to tho last to the clay s j soon to be hidden [
from her view. Impressed with the J"
placid and lifelike appearance of the j:
dead, she sent a photographer to lake a pic- "
ture of the coffin. Before he arrived, dele- ?
gat ions from different cities began to come, ?
and were admitted to pass through and view ?
the body while the photogragher was engaged ?
at his work.
It was 11 o'clock when the coffin was re- ?
placed, and the stream oi visitors again
passed by and out through the side
door. Shortly after this the pallbearers ar- R
rived. l lio draped hearse and
the carriages for the family and friends _
wore drawn up before the door, and the
preparations were made for the final removal
of the body. This was done without further .
leave taking. The police and military kept
the curious, but always respsctful, mass of "
people out of the way. and the little proces- ?(
sion moved quietly with its escort through '
densely-lined streets to the Cathedral of St. z
Paul. b
It was nearly noon when ihe coffin was
borne into the cathedral, the vast congrega- ^
tion having already been seated, with the ex- ?
ception of the immediate relatives and the !
church vestry. The ollioiating clergy, four
in number, in their rob^s of "office, ,
met the coffin at the main entrance
of the cathedral, preceded by a guard "
of the Indianapoiis Light Infantry. The r*.
body was borne up the central aisle, the
clergymen and members of the vestry going ^
in advance. Bishop Knickerbocker read the
opening sentence of the burial service, "I am
the resurrection and the life," followed by P
the Revs. Dr. Stringfellow, of Montgomery, j.
Ala., aud Fulton, of St. Louh, in their reci- ^
tation of the other verse? used for the dead, J"
until the coffin had been carried and placed
outside the chancel. The great audience ?:
stood while the impressive scenc was enacted.
Following the bier came the widow, lean* ?
ing on the arm of Mr. Morgan, followed by
the other relatives, all 111 deep mourning.
Thirteen pews to the right of tho central aisle .
were reserved for the family, while the vestry "
and the members of local committees
occupied pews in front to the left. ?
The pew occupied by the dead Vice-President
in his lifetime was the tenth from the
frrtnf. fA tlia loPf nf flia nnVlHlo oiclu wlian fanincr
the altar. It was d'stinguished by its com- ^
plete envelopment in black cioth and by the n.
fact that it was unoccupied. :
The church is a modest brick structure, f.
seating U00 persons, but fully 1,000 were j
crowded within its walls. The doors, inner
walls, archos, windows, and chancel were tf
heavily druped, and everywhere were masses
of flowers and elaborate lloral designs, which
have been sent from all parts of the country.
The interior of the church and chancel was ^
brilliantly lighted, and the scene was very ft
impressive. CJ
In the church edifice, the place of honor j,
was accorded to ex-President Hayes. He sat f j
immediately in the rear of the pews occupied te
by the vestry and reception committees. In Jt]
the pew in his rear'were Secretary Bay- ]a
ard and the other members of the ^
cabinet. To their left were seated n
the committees from the United ^
States Senate and House, wearing flowing es
sashes of white over their right shoulders, 0"j
closed at the left side with rosettes of black
crape. In their rear were the ofliccrs of the
United States army in full uniform. On the
north side of the church were the Governors p]
of the States present with their staffs. pi
When the coffin had been placed in front or
the chancel rail the choir sang the anthem, S1
"Lord, let me know mina end." The lesson ^
for the dead was read by the Rev. Dr.
Jenckes. This was followed by the u
singing of the hymn, "Lead, kindly light," p!
by the choir, the audience joining. The Rev. Dr.
Jenckes, speaking from the lecturn,
lelivered an address. The reverend 11
gentleman took as his text. Philiipians iv. 11
md verse 8, and his sermon was an eloquent
:ribute to the virtues, both in public and private
life, of the late Vica-President. Mu.-h p
itress was laid on the lessons to young and
>ld of Mr. Hendricks' honorable c areer, and T,
.he sermon closed with the words: "Eminent ?
ritizen, faithful friend. Christian gentleman,
lonest man, farewell."
When the speaker had concluded, Mrs. ?
)oner, of Chicago, sang "Rock of Ages,"
-he bishop closing with prayers and the benidiction.~
The collin was then lifted and is
>orne from the church, the audience remain- ol
ng seated.
The procession had formed on the streets hi
n the vicinity of the church while the servi- U
res were being conducted. The order of the 1'
)rocession was as follows:

fears ago when she was leading soprano ai
St. Paul's at Indianapolis she sang the sam<

Senator McDonald, and Mr. Hendricks
,vho was present, was so impressed by het
-endition of the beautiful selection that he

AGBIOULTURE.
fhc Annual Ifeport of tlic \ntIona
Conimifl??ioner.
Commissioner Colman, of the . Nationa
Agricultural department, in his annual re
port says the year which opened in gloom
threatening the destruction of winter crops
s closing with blight prospects of abundanc<
'or man and beast, j rcduced at a cost whic
5 not a burden to the producer, and to b<
sold at a price which is not a barrier to the
joor consum?''.
He says it has become more apparent thai
i more intimate relation is necessary betweer
he several agricultural and experimental
itations and the department. The colleges
vere endowed by Congross. They are now
eparately carrying on experiments withoul
iny central head through which to report
tnd compare results, ne sudiiiics cnac toe
lepartment should have authority to avail
tself of the peculiar advantages offered by
hese institutions in order to test the adaptajility
of new seeds to various sections.
The law establishing the bureau of animal
ndustry he says, does not authorize the
laughter of .animals affected with conta;ious
diseases. The characteristics of pleuroineumonia
make it a difficult disease to exirpate
except by the slaughter of affected
nimals and the slaughter or quarantine of
.11 that have been exposed. Such is now the
>oJicy ot" most civilized nations. He decribes
the serious effect upon our forign
trade in life stock resulting from the
xistencc of contagious diseases among catle,
and says that the reduciion in the value
f cattle in the affected States has been euor(10us.
In the entomolgical division the work has
reatly increased during the year. Much
ttention has been given to agriculture, and
hp work in resoect to silk culture has been
luch extended.
'me statistician of the department has a reiew
of the cour-e of agricultural production
uring fifteen years, which shows an estilated
increase in corn of 157,(XX),000 acres, or
0 per cent; in wheat, of 20,000,000 acres, or
os per cent; in oats, ot 1o,u<>u,uimj acres, or
42 per cent; in all cereals taken together,
7X00,000 acres, or 97 per cent.
The commissioner says that many importnt
medicinal plants are perfectly adapted to
ur cl.'mate, and could be cultivated in persction;
and it would seem weil that means
iiould be taken to give them a proper trial.
The commissioner says that eitbrts should
e made to arouse the people to the dangers
'hicli threaten us through the destruction
f forests. "Arbor days''should be instituted,
le science of forestry should bo taught in
ihools, and the organization of local and
talc forestry societies should be encouraged.
In view of the continued destruction of
le timber on the government lands, and the
nportance of preserving such portions of
crests as are adjacent to the head springs of
ivers, or which may be needed for climatic
r other reasons, he urges that the further
lie of timber lands belonging to the govern*
lent ought to be suspended until a survey
lall reveal what portion may be sold withnt
injury to the country and what ou^lit to
a nnvnmnontiv in tha forest condition.
Tbe commissioner says that particular at?ntion
has been given to improved methods
f distributing seeds. He calls attention to
mt feature of the law which anticipates a
jport of experiments from tho3ewho receive
;eds, and says in a vast majority of cases
lis design of law is not met and is not likely
> be. He suggests for consideration whether
t* not some systematic plan of co-operation
lay not be fixed upon between the denartlent
and members of Congress by w hicu the
>rni?r can have a better control over the
Istribution of seeds than it now has, and
lake the distribution a condition precedent
> a compliance with simple but important
jnuirements.
The commissioner describes the result of
le work of the microscopical division in the
iscovery of a method of detecting counter;it
butter, and says that the unparalleled in ease
during the past few years in the manuicturo
and sale of various compounds,
audulently represented to the public as but>r,
threatens the destruction of the legitiiate
dairy business?an interest of the
rgest magnitude. It is not, he says, com*
jtition with dairymen that is deprecated, but
io simulation of the true dairy products,
le use of impure substances and the dishon;t
sale, at high rates, of products otherwise
E little valuH, piactices which demoralize
ade, defraud honest industry and deceive
io buyer.
To protect the public from these deceptive
ractices he earnestly recommends the prompt
issage of a law by Congress to prevent the
mtinuance of this business except under
ich regulations as the necessities of tho.case
jmands, the enforcement of the law, if
lought advisable by Congress, to be placed
nder the control of the internal revenue detftment.

PIBATES OH A STEAMER.
The Captain stabbe I and Throws
Overboard by Passengers.
The British steamer Greyhound, Captain
C. W. Sieder, trading between Hong Kong
andPakhoi, left the former port recently on
one of her regular trips with 120 passengers
and a general cargo. When the steamer was
about seventy miJes southwest of Hong Kong
about forty apparently innocent passengers
who were scattered over the vessel suddenly
opened fire with revolvers on the unsuspecting
officers. The captain attempted to reach
the chart room to arm himself, but was met
with a volley from the pirates and was stabbed
and thrown overboard. The only
other white officers on board were the first
and secondvmates and the chief and assistant
engineers. The chief officer and the assistant
engineer were forced at the point of a revolver
to work the vessel, while the others,
with the remainder of the passengers and the
Chinese crew of twenty-five men, were placed
in the hold, and the hatches battened down.
The pirates then ransacked the steamer.
The vessel was turned about, and
when about forty miles from Hong
Kong three junks came alongside, took off
the pirates and their plunder, valued at $10,000,
and sai ed away. The pirates were in
possession of the vessel nearly nino hours.
The Chinese authorities have captured two
junks containing property taken from the
Greyhound, and six men who were concerned
in tho outrage. The prisoners have been
taken to Canton, where they will probably
be beheaded.
