EARTHQUAKES OF TUE PAST.
homo of tb? Grande?tUphe?r?lt (li? World
ba* Known.
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. Nine hours later (2 p. m.) the

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

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

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

mustard plasters. Always strike a light
when you go to get any of these in the

I. Skepticism 1B doubt about tho trutb,
though not actually denying it; benita

II. Agnosticism is a denial of an ac
ceptance of religion, except that which
comes within knowledge. There may
be a CJod, or lhere may not. There may
have beeu HUCII a divine person as Jesus
Christ, or there may not. It doe? not

IV. Rationalism is a disbeliever in tho

Then il is tho next stan's turn. Ho

Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hcrndon :
Karly in November, 14SI, while ?ewing on the
machine, my wife waa taken with a seveit pain in
lier side, which waa soon followed by hemorrhages
from her lungs and a severe cough. Kever com
menced, slit could neither eat or sleep, and In a
r.-w w ;eks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
The attending physician told nie that he thought
one of her lungs waa entirely gone. Bheeould not
retain Hie moil delicate nourishment on her Mom*
ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family
physician, to call I>r. Holloway in consultation.
They made a final examination of the patient and
pronounced the ease hopeless. I>r. Holloway then
suggested the Brewer's Lung Iteslorer as a last
leaort. I sent for a bottle und gare her a dose. I
found that she could retain il on her stomach, and
after about tho third dose. I began to notice, sumo
Improvement in her condition I continued the
medicine regularly, and by the timo she had taken
two bottles, she was able to walk about tho house.
She la now in better health lhan she has enjoyed
for several years. I believe tho Lung Restorer
savcii lier life. We har? t family of .-.ir children
