' Change of temperature suddenly causes 4'flyago.v 1 or example, glass kept in a cold, frosty pantry will fly when brought into >t li X ro m, so a glass from a warm pin e v.iil fly wheu ice is put into it. Thi k fce plates in gla s should never be used, t;or should Le plates be touched by a warm hand when in use. It is b st to put them upon a china plate. China dishe?. no well d 'shes, in even cnmmnn mneral cai then ware, should never be put into the oven or upo.i the hot plate. Warm water, not hot, will make them su liciontly he.itcd for use. Glass dishes sho.ild never have hot things placed in them: 4-flyage" isgrcat. ly pre ented if the di-hes be warmed gradually. In frosty weather dealers are worried about goods "dying."

A lemarkable instance of an animal's affection for its young is reported by a California paper. An excursion party from the mainland went to an island eighty miles awiv, ami while there captured a baby seal, whi li they put iu their boat to carry home as a pet for one of the boys in the paity. Shortly before sailing a large seal was noticed swimming around the sloop anchored off the cove where the capture was made, uttering loud baks, and at times howling pitcou-lv. No part'eulur attention was paid to th animal at the time, or to the little captivr, who at times barked in response to the mother's plaints. On reaching the wharf a seal was again discovered swimming about the boat. It was jot supposed that this was the mother, or out of pity the young one would have been thrown overboard. To bett.-r i-ecu:e the youn? sea!, the rope was taken from its fin, and it was tied up in a jute tack and let loose on the deck. Soon after coming to anchor the young ecal responded to its mother by casting * itself overboard. Th ; mother seized the eack, and with her sharp te th at oncc tore it open, after which they both distppea:cd. MURDERING GUNS. SMALL STEEL CANNON" OF TREMENDOUS POWER. Six-POnnders Firod Twenty Times a Minute and Penetrating Five Iron Plates?Guns Throwing 1,000 Projectiles a Minute. Harpers Monthly contains an article by Admiral Simpson of the American navy, that deals with the construction of the steel guus that arc to be usca to arm the new war ships that ir'ecrctajry "Whitney is ' - 1 ? 11 t ??* ? 11 ** 4 V? r% m r\ rl nrn gOitlglO UU11U. hhjiuclihhij .utuivunu machine gun, or qijiclc-liring gun, is mentioned as a "murdering gun," although the article is chiefly dc.oted to the method of constructing big breechloaders. A naval ollicer who talked about these "murdering guns" said: "One lias only to stop and think a moment to appreciate the tremendous advance made in the construction of guns during the pres-nt century. livery one is familiar w th the fact that a v. ry large number of the privateers that did their country such great service in the last war with England were armed wilhsix-poundcrs?cannon that threw a ball of cast iron weighing six pounds. Th.se guns were mounted iir broadside, much as the nine inch guns on the big wooden frigates that form the greater part of our navy now are mounted, and it required about five men to serve them well. They were lircd perhaps once in five minutes. Although the principal weapon of the little warships of scveuty-fie years ago, the six-pounder is now one of the little guns to be used as th-) fiint-lock mus kets wore used in those days, to repel attacks from small boats and pick men off of exposed parts of an enemy's ship. This latter service gives theiu the name of murdering guns. The sixpounder of ldl ~ was usually a brass piece, I aud the charge of powder was so small , that the balls failed often to penetrate ! the thick plank of an enemy's ship. It IS a met, IIIUI. limn mwiu IUIIJ thick timber in the top sides of a ship was a siifKcictit protection even against the cannon balls of" larger degree. But now the quiek-liring six-pounder has become an awftii weapon of destruction. Its barrel is made of steel. Instead of being fired by touching a flaming match to the priming in the vent of the gun, a> its ancient namesake was, it is tired and loaJed as well by the motion of a lever. In place of the little loose bag of powder aud the round iron ball that loaded the aucient cne, a meta lie car- ; triilge that is mad: up of powder fulmx- I natc und a long steel bolt is used. The cartridges arc placed in a magazine connected with the gun, and the motion of | the lever throws out the empty shell j after the discharge, inserts a fresh car-1 tridgc, and fires it. The speed atta:ncd , at a recent trial of the Nordenfclt six- j pounder at Dartford, England, was six j rouuds in fourteen seconds. It could be I easily aud accurately fired twenty times in a minute. "llut the speed attained, important as if *c le tl?? nnlxr o rl vn n tn err* n f thf'fift " "= > " J six-pounder f|uick-iiring guns. At the Dartford trial mentioned the gun was tested to show its power. J i.e iron pi te5, each an inch thick, were u<cd over an appropriate backing of wood to form a target, yet the steel bolts which j this g in threw with such marvelous rapidity pas-ed clear through iho five | inch'.s of iron plates, the gun being tired | at a distance of sixty yard-i from the target. That is the-sort of a weapon that thexhin racing shells called torpedo boat* have got to face. The little %teamer may tly at a speed of twentyfive miles an hour, but unless she can get unobserved within a very short distance of the big man of-war she .iccks to destroy the Captains of the top on the masts, which arc ere ted in nil ships, will get the rin^c of her with the liglitning six-pounders, and before she can travel three times her length will drive such & shower of stc?l bolls cleat through hull, b tiler and everything about her that not a soul nor a fragment will be left above water to tell whence she cam : or mark where she wentdowu. Kot even the be>t of torpedo boats except through the accident of fog or in the smoke of battle between larger ships c.m hope to reach an enemy to do him h.irt. "vj uick-tiring guns that throw pro .ee- j tiles the si e of a riCe 1 all arc made in | great variety. The single-barrel Nordcnfclt of this calibrc weights but fifteen pounds, and can be lired ISO times a minute. The next larger size has three barrels. It weighs sixty pounds and can throw 400 projectiles a minute. This is just now a very popular weapon in the French, German, and Italian armies, both on account of its effectiveness and the lightness in weight. It is mounted on a light carriage for field service. Un ship bo ird, however, the live barrel gun is the smallest si/.e used. larger one-, bavin; ten barre.s, weighing22 >pounds, have be n devised for use in forts as well as on ships, and even twelve-barrel guns tnatweigli a >0 pound* are oncoming common. The ten-barrel gun throws 1,000 projectiles a minute, and the other one 1,'i.ui. Their effective range is a little over 1,000 yards. One g n like this is warranted to k- ep the open ports of an enemy's ship clear when within ranj;c. 4 A curious test was made wilh one of the ten-1 arrel guns not long ago in India. Two companies of wooden soldiers were set up on the ri 'c range. A company of fifty men, armed with th-i be-it modern rifles, fired at or.e of the companies of woo len targets at a distan c of 1.00 ) yards, while a ten-barrel machine g.in peppered the other company during the same interval of lima. It required six men to feed, aim, and tire the machine gun. An examination of the targets showed that the machine gun did as much work as fifty trained men. But in time of actual battle the trained men. owing to the excitement and fatigue incident to the contest, could n t fire with the accuracy nor speed attained in a practice drill at a mark, while the machines, having neither i.erves nor muscles, would spout death with unvarying accuracy and speed. It is no longer po-sililc to work a canno:i on an unprotected de k. except when out of range of the murdering guns of the enemy. It is not possible to take an enemy's snip uy uo.i ruing.

A remedy for an incipient cold in the head may be obtained by breathing the fresh fumes of flowers of sulphur. The powder should be sprinkled upon a hot metal surface, aditlle at a time, the person inhaling to stand as near as possible. The odor is not nearly as disagreeable as when the smoke is inhaled after it lias been snrae time diffused in the air. Only a short time is required before a "cure" is elected. Even little children find no* difficulty in breathing the fumes. "Whooping Congli. Whooninff cousrh is a highly contajr'ous fever, affecting the entire system, but specially manifesting itself in an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, and a spasm xlic cough occurring ia freijucnt paroxysms. The whoop is due to the , rapid coughing. This renders it impos- j siblc to draw in the breath until the coughing ends, when the breath enters strongly through tlie glottis, still partially contracted by the spasm. It rarely cuds in less than six weeks; gcneraliy'its run is long.-'r, sometimes many months. Asa rule, the physician merely aims to pdliate the symptoms, I guard against complications,and abridge somewhat tin atta.k. Says Flint: "It j must be admitted that there arc no i known means by which the affection may be arreted. A writer in the Lancet for March, 1880, thinks that the prevalent treatment has i been directed too much to the svmptons, instead of to the cause, llence the medicine-; prescribed have simp y had an anti spasmodic and sedative effcct?re- ( lieving the cough, but not reaching the desease itsvlf. Uuring a severe epidemic of whooping-cough, he noticed on several occasions a marked alleviation of the symptons, and then at other times a marked aggravation. This led him to suspect some powerful atmospherical influences at woik consulting his ( charts, he found that the former condition corrcspon led to a high peicentage of o.one in the air. and the latter to a very low per ccntage.

"There were lots of fnnny thingsabout th?? war/' said Col. Frederick .Martin, of the Brooklyn elevated, the other day. "now that you think of them when the tears arc dried away, and about the funniest things I recall were the queer articles the boys used to pi.k up on the marili and the eccentric way in which they'd tote 'cm along to finally adorn some ditch by the wayside. Strapplcrs were the worst at this, but all the fellows were bad enough. Whenever the aimy went through a first family residence the boys would capture what struck each as most attractive, and some of their tastes were peculiar. They had a great weakness for cradles. You may ask me what a man treading his way to the front wanted with a mahogany cradle, and I'm blest if I know, but tliey took 'era. l-'irst one man would back a cradle aiid cart it a d /en miles; then he'd begin to cuss and finally drop it. '.Now, you'd suppose that any ordinary idiot would just look at that cradle as jt lay in the road and pass on, but they wouldn't. Some one would be certain to pick it up and lug it a few miles further into the Confederacy.

The sail was really an enormously developed dor- | sal fin that was over ten feet high, and was richly colored with blue and iridea- ' cent tints; and as the lis>h swam along on or near the surface of the water, ill's great fin naturally waved to and fro, so that from a distance it could easily be ' ml.tnl-nn fnr ft fMtrjnilS Hail I ' Some of tlicss fishes ntlain n length of ov>?r twenty feet, and have large cresccnt-shaped tails and long, sword like ' snouts, capable of doing great damage. ] In the Mediterranean Sea, a sword fi-h j is found that also has a high fin, but it 1 does not equal tic gnat sword fish of the , Iud!:;n Ocean.?St. Nicholas. j j i Tli uc are 81,300 Scandinavians in J Nebraska. i; i A Novel Plan of Bnrial. General M. C. Meigs, U. S. A., discusses the burial of the dead as follows in Building: "I see that the question of disposing of the dead in towers of masonry or by cementation is being discussed. It is not new. Asiatic conqueioru have built the living, after capture of their cities, into tow era of masonry, using their bodies as blocks and generally the adobe mortars of the desert plains for cementing them together. One of them built ;t pyramid or tower containing tlicusnicts of h ads. The city of New York inters in its 1 otter's Field obout 4,000 bodies annually. Enropc rents a grave site fc r a term of years?a short term?and then disinters the bonc< and packs them in a catacomb or a vault. Would not Xew York save money and treat, its dead with greater respect if it embedded each bodkin a mass of Iludsun River cement and sai.d (lleton Coignet) ? 1 find that onehalf a c.ibic yard of 'Bcton Coignet will completely enclose the body of a man of six feet stature, weighing 2oo pounds. The average human beinir would require even less then thirteen cubic feet. At ruling ]>riccs such a surcopliagus would <o<-t onh-two or three dollar*. Mhe name md ds:te, a perpetual recoid and memori:d of the dead, could be inscribed with letter punches or stamps on the head or foot of the block or sarcophagus. Ifnngtd alongside of each other in contact, and in two rows?that is, two bl cks deep?these would build on any suitable plan a fourteen-foot wall, massive and strong enough to be carried to the height of 150 leet. Thus would be crected, at the rate of nearly 2,000 cubic yards per yenr, agieai temple of silence, a grand ai d everlasting monument to those who pass away. The designs for sue h a monument seem wor hy of the study of onr bejt architects.

It seems strange, on the first Hush of the matter, that so very few accidents befall sleep-walkers. The proportion of instances in which any injury is sustained by the subjects of this remarkable state of semi-sleep is very small. The explanation of the immunity is doubtless to be fotild in the fact that it if ? of o n rt1' rnmi.ulnnnin I walker makes his excursion. lie is sleep- ! ing only so far as part of his cercbium is conctrncd. The rest of his brain is J awake, at.d therefore it is really not a strange feat to walk carefully and escape in'r.ry, d^ing all the necea?ary r.cts of avoidance while carrying out some dream purpose, Just as a walking purpose is fiiljillid. This hypotl eais obviously requires a very full explanatirn of such an accident as that by which a sleep walker recently came to her death - iiiimdv. falling out of an open window. I It is not liki ly lo h ive been j art of the dream to get out of a window. There must have been some error in the carrying out of the process; such, for example, as turning to the right instead of the left on leaviug a room, and thus walking through a low window instead of through a doorway. As a ride the senses are sufficiently on the nleit to enable the sleep-walker to take all precautions for safety, and when he comes face to face with a diH'cully involving more than automatic or subconscious self control, he wakes. We should like lo know more of the case whi< h has .just ended fata'ly from some i ompctcnt medical observer who has studied the development oi tins interesting disorder in mis j r.r tictilar instance. J-urcly a practitioner was consulted. No case of sleep-walking should ever be left without medical scrutiny and counsel.

A great many people are afflicted with catarrh who do not know* what ails them; and [ a great many moro continue sufferers who | might be cured, I Thickening of the membrane which lines I (lie nasal passages, thus making Lreathin; I difficult; a discharge from the nostrils, more ! or less copious, w atery or thick, according to , the stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in I thohcad; a constant inclination to spit; and, in advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis! ga&ting matter into the throat, are a few of : the prominent symptoms of Catarrh. I Deafness, inflamed eyes, neuralgic pains, l Bore throat and a loss of sense of amell are very often caused by Ca'arrh. All these troubles are cured by Pi9o's Remedy for Catarrh. Relief ii had immediately after beginning its use, but it is important that it be continued without interruption until the catarrhal virus is expelled from the system and healthy secretions replace the diseased action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to expect a cure in a short time of a disease that has been progressing for months or years. Thisquestion of time is provided for in the i putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. It Is I so concentrated that a very small doie is di; reeled. Tho quantity ia one package is sufficient for a long treatment, consequently the I expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse I for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness.

I thought I could reviiiy throw thesa things off, but they kept returning. Consequently I grew worse every day until last spring, when I sent for a physician. lie said I had a fever. 1 told him wliat condition I was in with my water. At first he paid no attention to it, but finally said he I would take some of my urine home and analyze it. The next day he came and said there wai some difficulty with my kidneys. My sickness I continued until my urine was a sight to behold. Another physician wai called. He pronounced it Bright's disease of the k dneys. and said there was no cure tor it He did all he could, but to no effect. I then tried every remedy 1 could hear of.
