one of the first remedies ipp LlLry
headache and wo ehould never cease
to use it. The brain, when excite<l, as
much needs quiet and repose as a frac
tured limb or an inllamed eye, and it
is obvious that the chances of shorten*
i.ng the seizure and arresting pain will
depend on our power to have this car
ried out effectually. It is a practical
lesson to be kept steadily in view, in
that there may lurk behind a simple
headache some lesson of unknown
magnitude which may remain station
ary if quietude can be maintained.
There is a point worth attending to in
the treatment of all headaches. See
that the head is elevated at night and
the pillow hard; for, if it be soft, the
head sinks and becomes hot, which
with some is enough to provoke on
attack in the morning if sleep has been
long and heavy.
The Cats of Ca ro.
Among the curiosities of Cairo is an
amateur branch of the humane so
ciety, for the especial benefit of poor
Puss. A curious legacy was some
years ago left by a wealthy burgher to
enlarge the permanent income of the
cadi, on condition of his nourishing
and cherishing all the unclaimed cats
in Cairo. Like most Mohammedans, lie
must have shared the feeling which
made the Prophet cut off the wide
sleeve of his robe, sooner than disturb
a favorite.eat which hud fallen asleep
thereon. Consequently a large court
yard has been devoted to their especial
benefit, and here the “nice, soft, furry
creatures” lie and bitsk in the sun, and
are fed at stated intervals, and alto
gether have a very good time of it. It
is a curious fact, however, that al
though daily additions are made to this
large feline home, the inmates rarely
amount to more than fifty. This (in
the absence of sausage machines) is a
very remarkable problem. I suppose
that a candidate for the office of cadi
has to produce a medical certificate to
prove that he is not troubled with that
unconquerable aversion to dear old
Puss with which so many of the mas
culine genus are afllicted.—Gentleman's
Magazine.
A Great Storm Predicted.
According to Dr. E. Stone AViggins,
a new weather prophet of Canada,
who some time ago predicted that the
recent gale would sweep from east to
west over the continent, says a great
storm will strike this planet in March
next. The following warning is issued
by Dr. Wiggins:
It will he first felt in the Northern
Pacific, and will cross the meridian of
Ottawa at noon (5 r. m. London time)
on Sunday, March 11, 1883. No vessel
smaller than a Cunarder will be able to
live in this tempest. India, the soutli
of Europe, England, and especially the
North American continent, will he the
theatre of its ravages. As all the low
lands on the Atlantic will he sub
merged, I advise ship builders to place
their prospective vessels high up on
stocks, and farmers having loose val
uables, such as hay, cattle, etc., to re
move them to a place of safety. I beg,
further, most respectfully to appeal to
the honorable minister of marine that
he will peremptorily order up storm
drums on all the Canadian coast not
later than the 20th of February, and
thus permit no vessel to leave the har
bor. If this is nut done, hundreds of
lives will he lost and millions worth of
property destroyed.
One pound of green copperas dis
solved in-one quart of boiling water
will destroy foul smells. Powdered
borax scattered in their haunts will
disperse cockroaches.
o or subjects of the emperor, Chinese,
Mongolians, Tartars, Baskirs, Kal-
muks, Khirgees, Boukharas, Circas
sians, Georgians, Mingrelians, Lap
landers, Esquimaux, Persians, Turco-
mans-^a strange and wild mixture of
different races, half clad and armed,
some with bows or lances, others with
yatagans, with silver handles* or swords
with wooden hilts rudely carved.
This dazzling and picturesque pro
cession advances, preceded by a platoon
of guards of honor, with cuirases of red
cloth starred with silver, and by two
mounted heralds with gold embroidered
brocades, red velvet caps and maces.
The imperial arms, borne by high func
tionaries, are placed at the left of the
throne upon a table with a coyer of
gold. GfoUped in front of the church
under the portal draped with velvet,
the clergy with erosses and mitres are
resplendent in their chasubles and dal
matics sparkling with gems. The
metropolitans, led by the metropolitan
of Kiew, holding censers await the ar
rival of the emperor.
At last the czar appears, lie de
scends the red staircase upon which a
Persian carpet, flowered with roses, is
placed. lie wears the uniform of a
general of division, with red trousers,
and he walks under a large canopy that
puts over his head a flock of golden
eagles in a blue sky.
The metropolitan of Moscow pre
sents him tlie cross to kiss, while the
metropolitan of Novgorod sprinkles
him with holy water. The princes of
tiie church conduct the czar to the
throne. Then the metropoliran of
Moscow approaches his imperial
majesty and presents him with the or
thodox profession of faith, which the
czar reads aloud, standing with his
hand upon the guard of his sword.
After reading lie receives the two
metropolitans of Kiew, who ascend
the steps of the throne and bring him
the coronation mantle. The czar
takes it from their hands and places it
upon his shoulders. Then he hows be
fore the metropolitan of Moscow, who
places ids hands over him and recites
a prayer.
Finally, the czar arises majestic and
superb, dressed in his mantle of bro
cade linen with ermine, and, taking
the imperial crown sparkling with dia
monds, he places it with his own hands
upon Ids head. At this moment the
empress advances and kneels before
her august spouse, who, taking off his
crown, holds it an instant over the
forehead of the czarina in token of
her share in his omnipotence.
In the courtyard of the Kremlin the
cannons thunder. The three hundred
churches of Moscow ring their joy hells
and the vaults of the old cathedral
are filled with songs of gladness and
of triumph.
The mass begins. The silver doors
of the iconostasus are opened. The
archbishops of Novgorod and of Kiew
approach the emperor and inform him
that all is ready for the annointment.
The czar descends from the throne.
The empress accompanies him to the
door of the sanctuary, the threshold
^>f which no woman can cross. The
metropolitan of Moscow then dips in
the va*e that contains the holy oil the
golden branch that he holds in his
hand, and anoints the temples, the eye
lids, the nostrils, the lips, the breast and
the hands of the czar while uttering
the words: “Behold the seal of the
Holy Ghost.” And after each holy
unction the metropolitan of Novgorod
wipes away the traces. The ancient
czars for seven days used not to wash
the parts of their bodies that had thus
been annointed.
Conducted to the altar, the czar par
takes of the communion, while the
e brush was very flense at the bot
tom of the ravine, and he thought he
had had adventure sufli lent for one
day. The largest of the two dead
hears would weigh over 1,500 pounds.
It was all two strong horses could do
to drag it to a tree near by. The
other, which was quite poor; would
weigh about 700 pounds. From Ra
mon, who was in town this week, says
the Signal editor, we learn that he
afterward got the wounded bear. One
of his friends tells us. in speaking of
Ins hear adventures, that in one win
ter, on the Sespe rancho, Ortega cap
tured flfty-fotlr hears with the lasso.
An Oriental Beauty.
Mrs. General Lew Wallace has been
permitted to see the greatest beauty of
I’rinee Feramorz’s harem in Turkey
Two wonderfully ugly black eunuchs
met the visitor at the iron gate of a
beautiful garden and conducted her to
a large room rather barren of furni
ture hut hung with line Eastern dra
peries. Here she found the prince’s
latest acquisition, whom she thus de
scribes in the Independent:
Among the billowy cushions and va
porous veilings rose the young face.
Oh! what a revelation of beauty! up
lifted in a curious, questioning way to
see what-manner of women these are
who come from the ends of the earth
with unveiled faces, and go about the
world alone, and have to think for
themselves—poor things! The ex*
pr ss on was that of a lovely child
-u; ki ig from summer slumber in the
happiest humor, ready for play. A
sensitive, exquisite face, fair as the
lirst of women while the angel was yet
unfallen. A perfect oval, the lips a
searh-t thread, and oh! those wonderful
Asiatic eyes!—lustrous, coal black, long
rather than round, beaming under
joined eyebrows.
Cannot Stand Civilization.
The populatiorfof Honolulu is 10,000,
nearly half of whom is American, the
other half being made up of natives, of
Chinese and some English. Of the
merchants and commercial men a ma
jority are Americans, the balance are
English. There are also a few Chinese
merchants. The natives, when the
missionaries first visited them, mun-
beml 400,000, hut to-day there are not
over 30,(XR) natives on the islands. Like
all Indians or aborigines, they cannot
stand civilization and progress. Tho
descendants of tho old missionaries fall
in with new modes of life. When the
missionaries first settled on the islands
they brought up their children with
puritanic strictness, hut other people
coming in among them they were soon
infused with the spirit of enterprise
and took up grants of land and learned
how to make money. Most of the mis
sionaries sent their children to this
country to acquire an education, and
they returned with modern ideas.
This, with the infusion of the foreign
element, has produced a society in
Honolulu which is equal in education
and refinement to that of any other
city.—St. Louis Republican.
Fifteen lives are lost on the British
coast each week on an average, and
thus in twenty-six years about 20,000
j persons have perished. These losses
have generally been regarded s inev-
j itable, hut a society has been formed
for providing places of refuge on the
' coast for fishermen and other marines.
Convict labor is to be usedjn the con

Tlie Japanese are making Very rapid
progress in education. It had its be
ginning not quite eleven years ago. In
1*72 not less than 53,000 government
: c iools were established, conducted orf
European principles, the average of
schools being one to every 640 in
habitants. In two years the number
of schools was augmented until the
pupils exceeded 400,000. If at the
commencement of this wonderful
educational movement there was some
confusion, owing to the incapacity of
European teachers and the want of in
terchange of language, these troubles-
passed away. The number of pupils
immediately after 1873 rapidly in
creased, until in 1877 in the seveh
school uiatriets nearly 57,000 male
teachers, with 1,275 female teachers,
were educating 1,552,410 male and 543,-
768 female pupils, There is, then, an
elementary school for every 1.345 in
habitants and for every four and one-
eight square miles of the empire. Tak
ing the total children in Japan of an age
to go to school as 5,251,807, seventy-
one per cent, derive the benefits of in
struction. Leaving out of considera
tion the higher branches of knowledge,
only derivable from special schools,
the effort seems to tend toward the
education of the masses. Looking at
the expenses, some live years ago, with
an appropriation of $5,364,870, the
cost of education was ten shillings, say
$2.20 per pupil. The liberality of the
Japanese and their linn belief in the
great advantages to he derived frifm
this general education becomes mani
fest when it is learned that in five
years about $8,500,000 of our money
has been bestowed by private indi
viduals for the school fund, together
with a great deal of valuable real
estate. Three years ago there were
2,319,000 pupils, and, from such ac
counts as may he gathered last year, the
total number was near 3,000,000.
There is one poinWwhich, in an educa
tional sense, requires correction, and
that is in regard to the Japanese girls,
as the number of these is very small i
oroportion to the hoys.

Boys Attacked by a Hawk.
Three boys, children of a planter in
Banks county, Ga., were playing in tho
houseyard when a large hawk swooped
down, and, seizing a chicken in its tal
ons, flew away.
The hoys were very much excited by
tlie occurrence, and followed tlie hawk
some distance. To their delight the
bird dropped his prey, and the bojys
soon were standing around the chickan.
The little fellows did not suppose that
the hawk would he hold enough to i it-
tack them. But the bird was so
angry at the loss of his meal ttat
lie circled around the heads of t ae
children, and finally pounced do\-n
upon the eldest of the boys, whose
age was ten years. The hawk fastened
his talons in the lad's chin, and beat qhe
poor little fellow’s head with his win]
The other boys went to the resci
The hawk thrust out his disengai
talon and caught one of them by
arm, flapping his wings meanwll
and pecking at his prisoners with Ids
beak. The third hoy got out his kn fe
and gave a thrust, which seemed to
take the hawk by surprise, for he tt en
tried to get away.. But the courage
the hoys was up, and they held
until they hail killed the ferociousbitd.
The hawk measured twenty-four ine ies
from tip to tip.
