Tho large degree of interest manifest ed by the shock of yesterday suggests a reference to the great earthquakes of tho past. Recent discoveries in the science of seismology have proved that there is scarcely any material fact concerning their cause that has not been satisfactori ly accounted for. According to ancient superstition, these shocks were interpre ted "as the augor of the gods." Pliny Josephus Seneca bad fanciful theories concerning them. One of tho earliest works upon the subject was published in 17G0, but the fallacious accountability for them mado it of but little scientific value. Philosophical inquiry since then has been thoroughly revolutionized, and tho ingonuity of scientists has made tho subject so interesting that it is perfectly practicable with the aid of a "seisometer" to accurately measure the duration of a shock even to the fraction of a second. To show how thoroughly earthquake records have been preserved, it may ho ndded that the British Association has an "earthquako catalogue," which gives a Hst of between G,000 and 7,000 earth quakes betweeu 1(106 B. C. and A. I). 1812 From 1842 to 1880 these records havo been added to hy Mons. Perry, a Belgian, for the use of tho Belgian Acad emy. 8o that we have a complete list of earthquake shockB chronologically tabu lated for 3,490 years made on time meas urement. It is also worthy of remark that while Central and South America and Ku rope have been at intervals tho ?cenes of mon strous upheavals in revolution, North America bas been most fortunate in es caping the fearful havoc they have cam ed. lt -is a fact thal in Southern linly ind Sicily.no century ha? elapsed since thc earliest periods of history that .has riot been distinguished by frequent or severe earthquakes. Biblical reference is made lo the earth quako in Syria during tho reign of Ahab, OOO B. C. Judea wan. also devastated during tho time of thc battle oT Actium, 31 B. C. Josephus says it caused the death of 10,000 persons. The cities of Herculaneum and Pom peii, in Centrnl Italy, that succumbed to tho same gigantic aud destructive force in A. D. 03, are so familiarly kuown as to need no special comment. Ii has been a fruitful theme for novelists and pouts. Antioch has frequontly been visited by earthquakes. In A. D. 110 it was almost destroyed. In A. D. 45G it wns again visited, and in speaking of this Gibbon, the historian, states that 250,000 persons lost their lives. Again, in A. I). 087, 30,000 persoiiB came to their death. Tho last in that city occurred in April, 1872. In tho year 1773, for instance, there were no fewer than 1)47 shocks, and COI of theso were what scientists term "of the first degree of force." The historio earthquake in Lisbon in 17?-0 threw down the greater part of tho city. The sea retired and left tho bar absolutely dry, aud a portion of the city was buried bonostb the waters of tho bay to a depth of GOP feet. Humboldt esti mates tho area ?linken by this onrtb qunko BB four times the extent of Europe. Sixty thousand people perished within tho spaco of six minutes. The shock was felt in the Alps, on the const of Sweden, in Bohemia, and many towns were destroyed in Northern Africa. Tho "earthquake waves" even reached Scot land, and the waters of Loch Lomond suddenly IO?Q two feet. Its velocity wua 2,000 font per second. To give somo idea of tho immense destruction of lifo and property, it is recorded thal the great earthquake in Calabria - in. 1783 caused tho death of 100,000 persons. Its origin was nt a spot directly nnder the centre of Calabria. It dislocated huge rocks that fell into tho sea and destroyed the City of Messina. In 1819 2,000 squaro miles of country near tbe mouth of the Indus were sub merged, and tho shock was distinctly folt at Calcutta.' * On January 22,1835, Central America; on the occasion of tho eruption of the volcano Cosegnina, darkness suddenly enveloped the country, and tho peopla were plunged into great fear. The famous earthquako in the King dom of N?p?es : is 1557 is perhaps th? greatest in modern times. It was feit throughout the' kingdom, but singularly enough little- comparativo danger waa done in the City of Naples itself. Its traveling .forco waa almost incredible. At the town of. Potenza the 3?>eed of the shock was. 775 feet per second- It waa felt in Paris, Aleta and Genera. Ita greatest vi?lese^ waa between Remo and Chamouni. . It. traveled Northward at the; rato of #,861 feet per stcoad and Southward 1,391 feet. On November 14, 1861, Switzerland was similarly visited, though tho results were not so disastrous. The last memorable incident of an eruptive character happened on tho night of July 28 of last year on the Inland of Iechia, near Naples, when the town of Oasamlccoia was almost destroyed. The adjacent towns of Forls and Lacceameno were greatly damaged. It commenced a* 9.SO o'clock. Three thousand parsons were killed, 800 were injured, and nearly all tho houses were thrown dowo. Great darkness fell upon the people, the earth opened in many places, water gushed out from the springs, and tho terrified popu lace rushed to the sea to escape. It left its ravages at Laceo, at Torrio (where tho churches were ruined) ; at Scuara fifteen Eeraons were killed. The scenes ?ere eart-rending and impossible to describe. Referring to earthquako shocks in the United States, which nave been remark ably raro, the notable one of 1811 took place At New Madrid, Mo. - It covered an area bf SOO miles. Southward from the month of the Ohio River.- The f?round rose and sank in mighty mounds, aires were ?formed? and again drained. There were two?distinct motidjas felt-a vertical.; andra! horizontal. The latter was considered to have done tho most dann ge. The disturbances continued at intervals until March 23, 1812, when they suddenly ceased coincident with the great earthquake at Caracas, the capital of tho Ropublieof Venezuela1, where it cau??ct tho death of 10,000 inhabitants, showing unmistakably that there was an evident transmission of force between them. The samo earthquake commenced in Massachusetts with a noise resembling thunder. It lasted e. minute, followed by I a long swell, like a land billow-., it was 1 so great that mob working in the field tried to lay hold of something to prevent them falling. Jerks and wrenches, last ing two minutes, succeeded. In Boston the effect, was seen oy the upheaval of chimneys, - wind varies/ andi iiumorous brick,.building*,,, Millions..nf .fish ..were killed and floated on the surface of the water.

Chicago, and from there. to New York. It? velocity was about 14,000 feet per second. Notice of its coming wa? telegraphed from Quebec to Montreal, and arrived thorc just thirty seconds before it reached the latter city. The mining regions in Nevada suffered similarly in 1871, when rseveral Settle ments, among them Los Pinos, were de stroyed. lu the West Indies these shocks have been so numerous that ?paco prevents anything liko even a chronological men tion of tho most prominent. I'eru has frequently been visited, and Callao has twice been destroyed, once in 1580 and again in 1746. In 18G8 tho port of Arica suffered severely. Alaska alan felt a shock in 1808. Chili is notoriously addicted to volcanic eruptions and up heavals. Tho most remarkable occurred in 1822. lu 1835 th? city of Concepci?n was destroyed for the fourth time. In fact, the list of the earth's great convul sions is almost inexhaustible.-A'ftf York Slur, A ugutt 11. Thc Family Doctor Shop. Nearly every person knows what to do in case of injury or sickness, but it often happens that under the excitement at tending such circumstances they become confused and forget nil they know about it. Thc following suggestions might he Ilouted up on the inside of tho closet or ?ookease, where they could he referred to promptly : For stomach crumps, ginger ale or a teaspoonful of the tincture of finger iu hall' a glass of water in which half a teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Swallowing saliva often relieves a sour stomach. Hot. dry Hannels applied as hot as possible, are good for neuralgia. Whooping cough paroxysms are reliev ed hy breathing the fumes of turpentine or carbolic acid. For cold in the head nothing is better than powdered b rax sniffed up tho nose ' A strong sol ni ion of bicarbonat? of soda (baking powder) taken frequently, is a reliable renn dy for diarrhoea troub les, particularly those arising from acidity of the stomach. A standing antidote for poison by dew, poison oak, ivy, eic, i* to take a handful of quicklime, dissolve in water, let it stand hnlf an hour, then paint the pois oned parts with it. Three or four appli cations will never fail to cure lite moHt aggravated cases. If children do not thrive on fresh milk it should be boil? (1. Powdered resin is the best thing to stop bleeding from cuts. After tho powder is su.iuklcd on wrap the wour.d with a soft cotton cloth. As soon ns tho wouud bo gins to feverish keep the cloth wet with cold water. For burns sweet oil and cotton are the standard remedies. If they are not at band sprinkle tho burned part with Hour snd wrap loosely with a soft cloth. Don't remove the dressing until thu in flaination subsides, ns it will break tho new akin that is forming. For nose bleeding bat ho tho face and nook with cold water. Il an artery is severed tio a small cord or handkerchief lightly about it. For bilious colic suda and ginger in lint water. It may be tat:en freely. Broken limbs should be placed in nat ural position nnd the patient kept quiet until tho surgeon arrives. Nervous spasms are usually relieved by n little salt taken into the mouth nnd allowed to dissolve. Hemorrhages of tho lungs or stomach are promptly checked by small doses of salt. Tho patient should be kept ns quiet as possible. Sleeplessness, caused by two much blood lu the head, moy be overcome by applying a cloth with cold water to the bnck of the neck. For pains in tho chest nnd stomach, aa much Dover's powder as will lie on a silver fi vu cent piece. Wind colic ls promptly relieved by peppermint essence taken in a little warm water. For small children it mny no sweetened. Paregoric is K'HO good. Chlorate of potash, dissolved iu water, is n standard remedy for sore throat, par ticularly if the throat is raw. Tickling in the throat labestrelieved by a gargle of salt and water. Indigestion is tho prolific cause of colics, diarrhoea, headaches, constipation, nnd many diseases of tho bladder. Food that ls not digested fcrrapntu, and becomes pev?4?/??y ??cid, -Qix??p'ti i?si??Uon and Imflnmmation wherever it touches, Many ?bvers' are caused by it. Pepsin is the best remedy if taken immediately after eating. If pepa'.*; is not taken tho acidi ty should bo con..oiled by bicarbonato of soda or potash. Bicknesa of the stomach is most ?iromplly relieved by drinking a teacup ul of hot soda and water. If it bringa the offending matter up all the better. A teaspoonful of ground mustard in * cup of warm water ia a prompt and reli able emeuf, and should DB resorted to iu cases nf poisoning or cramps in the stomach from over eating. Pains in the side are most promptly relieved hy the application of mustard. Sprains and bruises call for au appli cation of tho tincture of arnie?. Avoid purgatives and strong physics, as they not only, do no good, but are pos itively hurtful. Pills may relieve fdr iho liruc, but they seldom cure. Stomach bitters aro a scare and only create a desire for stimulants. Eat only such things as agree with you, nnd not too much at n time. By heeding the warnings of your stomach many Doctor bills and even undertakers, too, may be avoided. Give children plenty of milk and bread, graham or oatmeal crackers and good, ripe fruit. They will not only thrive on this diet but keep healthy.' In every house there should be a little nook in which a few simple remedies aro kept. Among them should be extract of ginger, Dover's powder, peppermint, chlorate of potash, bicarbonate of soda,' sweet oil, paregoric, camphor, arnica, a bottle ot poK* Hiliikeyji cotton, old miw lia for^jaBdagisj h^ok?ig plasterl-a box of ground mustard anti some ready-made mustard plasters.

A gentleman who lives on Main street in SaCo has a largs white cat of which he is very fond.. He calls her "Jen." Whenever ?ho catches a mouse he is if the habib of giving her a big saucer <n milk, and car resal ng her. His idea was that this would encourage Jen io renewed ?fflbrr? and 1impr?RWnponiber*mind' that the1 extermination of rodents waa her chief duty. The plan appeared, to work well. When Jen captures a qinuse du ring the absence of tbe master ol tho bouse, ishe will keep it till he comes homo and then display it to him ostenta tiously, with noisy dcmomtnUinns of feline joy.
