Placing the eye of a frog in the galvan­ ometer cushions, it'was shown that there vas a current passing from the corner to the back of the eye.

The success of the stratagem now depends entirely on the skill with which the caller imitates the low deep grunts of the cow. If he makes a single blunder the male hesitates in his ad­ vance, takes alarm, and hurries off. If, on the contrary, his call is up to all the requirements of the occasion, the hun­ ter is rewarded by the sight of a mag­ nificent animal, his crest elevated, and great wreaths of vapor issuing from his distended nostrils.

This continued for a time, then began tjromptTy att< to fall off, and on light being removed Main St., eus there was another increase, and then a sudden and rapid falling off. The ac­ tion, first shown by Prof. Holmgren, Prof. Dewar and the lecturer, showed a specific influence of light on the retina. It could not be called a nega­ tive variation. It indicated chemical changes oocuriiag in the retina. - Lastly, the lecturer showed the pro­ duction of currents from the living man. Placing the hands in two vul­ canite troughs communicating by platinum plates with the galvanometer, and filled with a weak solution of salt he showed that on contracting one arm a deflection of the galvanometer needle was produced. When both arms were quiet there was no current: on con­ tracting one arm a current was at once produced. This current, the lecturer *r«Vti"oJlW48 inclined to think, was due ^to action of the fluid, on the skin and not to currents from the muscles, and that the differences were due to differences of contact. In sum­ ming up, after a few remarks regarding electric fishes, the lecturer said that all of these electrical changes were really expressions of vital changes occurring in living tissues under the action of stimuli. It was no part of the functions of nerves, muscles or of the retina of the eye to produce currents under the action of their relative stimuli, but such A. M. CHURCH, Matchmaker and j ewe No irr.

"Is that the thing you want handled tenderly? Got any more of these sensitive exotics that can't stand the frost? Is this the thing that had the bud on it last spring V" and he took a fresh hold and ripped at the plant vindictively. Once more he slipped and left a little more hide on the thorns. "I didn't mean that one," squealed Mrs. Spoopendyke, her attention called, for the first time, to the bush he was hauling at. That one is to be covered up with straw." "Oh, this is to be covered up with straw, is it?" denfanded Mr. Spoopen­ dyke, moistening his hands and pre­ paring for a fresh attack. "As I understand the , thing, this particular shrub wasn't to come up. All right. Only the shrub and I are looking at it from different standpoints. The shrub and you appear to see it alike, but I have got hold of the tail of an impres­ sion that it is very liable to come up, or have me for company, until it begins to bud again. Now, let's see who's right!" and Mr. Spoopendyke went at the bush again with a grim determina­ tion to conquer. But the bush held on, and in five minutes Mr. Spookendyke had left enough skin on the stalk to make a pair of gloves. "Try some of the others said Mrs. Spoopendyke, in distress. "Begin on some of those little ones. I am more particular about those." "I won't," replied Mr. Spoopendyke, gathering fresh energy from defeat. "Think if those little ones will come up any quicker if they see me linked by this big one! Stand back and give me room. Something is going to give way ' now, or the bottom of this garden is coming out!" and once more the worthy gentleman went at his enterprise with portentous countenance. This time the bush came up more suddenly than lie had expected it would, and he landed on his back among the other plants. "Told you so!" he growlel, as he fired the obnoxious bush over the fence. "Another time you make up your mind to wrap a thing like that in straw, you do it before I catch hold of it, if you want me to save enough hand to tell my fortune by. Next! Point out the ad­ ditional greens to be rescued from the biting blasts of winterl This one of them ?" and he caught hold of a tough old geranium. "Come into the house out of the cold!"he cried, apostrophiz­ ing the plant. "Let the fate of the other fellow be a warning unto you all not to trifle with Spoopendyke! Come forth from the teeming earth and be blessed witfi light and warmth in the garret!" and he took a death grip on the plant half way beneath the root and the top. "Let there be no holding back, but draw nigli and be saved!" and he leanad back, the leaves glided through his torn hands and down be came with a thump that shook the ground under him. "Another 'candidate for straw!" he howled, as he made another dive for the enemy. "One more drooping grave decoration born to blush unseen and waste its Spoopendyke on the ?urround- ing districts!

"No, there isn't," squealed Mrs. Spoopendyke, completely out of patience. "I wished you had never touched them!" "Do, do you?" jerked Mr. Spoopen­ dyke, eyeing her with a sinister glance. "Perhaps you are inclined to think that I didn't do the business with that defer­ ence to the preference of the plants you would like to have seen manifested! 1 s'pose you have some kind of a notion that you know more about this class of botany than the undersigned.

"Might, might ye?" roared Mr. Spoopendyke, rising in wrath, as he found it impossible to convince his wife that he had done it all for the best. "Think ye might have known that I didn't know anything about it! With what ye might have known in this world, and what ye don't know, ye only want a name carved in your back, and the paint scratched off, to be the front seat in the first class in a public school!

Next spring when I get ready to plant, I'll ask him to take up some more bulbs, and, when he gets through I won't have to pay a man to dig up the garden!" and, with this wise disposition of her horticultural ability, Mrs. Spoopendyke finished her job and wrapped her roots up in some of Mr. Spoopendyke's old pants that he was sure to want to go fishing ul.--Drake'* Travelers' Magazine.

A Later Methuselah. A utone in the graveyard adjoining ttie old Concord school-house, above Washington lane, Germantown, bears this inscription: "In memory of Adam Shisler, who departed this life Decern ber the 22d, 1777, aged 969 years." It is easier to read the inscription than to believe that Mr. Shisler lived to the age ascribed to him. An explanation of the curious affair is that the stonecutter made a mistake in the stone giving the man's age as ninetv-six instead of sixty- nine, which it really was. To correct this the "9" was filled with cement and another figure cut after the "6." But time and frost loosened the cement, and now the once obliterated figure tells a curious tale and appears as distinct as the others.--Philadelph ia Record. . YE NEWSPAPER REPORTER.

Thus, there was no spccial pro­ duction of electricity except in the case of electrical fishes, and possibly of some other animals. Iu mcst animals, including man, the production of cur­ rents was an incidental phenomenon, indicating chemical operations and nothing more. Besides, the currents so produced were feeble and evanes­ cent, and bore no relation to the gen­ eral well-being. Consequently an at­ tempt to influence the living body by magnets had no rational basis. The lecturer had tested this question by, powerful electro-magnets and had not been able to detect that they had the slightest influence on any vital phe­ nomena. It need hardly be added that the so-caded phenomena of animal magnetism are of an entirely different kind from those discussed. Thcv are of a subjective character dependent upon peculiar states of the nervou." sys­ tem, having nothing whatever to do with electricity or magnetisin; but still, in a sense, they are a _ phenomena as real as those of physical s jience. Their subjective character, however, renders them specially ditllcult of investigation, and consequently they are more liable to fall into the hands of the charlatiui. One safeguard against this is the recog­ nition of what the electrical phenome­ na of the living body really mean, and one purpose of this lecture will be served if it shows that to detect and ac­ count for these phenomena requires the most refined methods of the phys­ icist and of the physiologist, and that they give us only a glimpse into the in­ tricate changes occurring in living tis­ sue.--London Times. Moose-Hiiii ting. "Crusting" (or hunting with snow- shoes), "driving," "creeping" and "call­ ing" are the various methods employed to hunt the moose. "Crusting" is the method employed when snow is upon the ground, it is, moreover, the most certain and deadly manner of killing the animal. Its great weight and the formation of its splayed hoofs render it comparatively helpless when attacked and pursued on the crust of the snow. At every step it breaks through the surface, cutting its legs, so that its tracks are marked with trails of blood. Even when taken at the disadvantage which "crusting" offer!-, a vigorous man on snow shoos must put forth all his powers of endurance in o der to overtake it, its enormous strength enabling it to founder for a consider­ able distance at great speed. In con­ sequence of the difficulty which the moose experience in traveling in the snow, they form during the winter season what are called "yards." Large numbers congregate together in the depth of the forest. The trampling of their feet soon beats down the dee]) snow. This forms a rampart all aLout them. As they move in a circle in feeding, this bank is always about them. The wolves hover on the edges, ready to pick up any discontented old bull which may lie excelled by his companions. 'lht-y know better than to enter the portals; in a moment they would be torn to piecee by the sharp hoofs of the moose. In the spring and summer the moose frequent the edges of pedgv lakes and lagoons buried deep m the forest. In the waters of these they submerge themselves until only their heads a:e visible, in order to escape from the tor­ menting attacks of th« black fly. More­ over they find in these 'sheets of water aquatic plants on which they delight to feed. At ihis season they may be ap- j roachfd in canoes much more readily than iu the fart sts. More reprehensible still is t!ie "call­ ing" of the moose; it is,'however, altove every other fyrm of shooting, whether for large or small gavne, the mo^t inter­ esting and exciting. It is a shabby way, however; but no man, no matter ho he may be, and how thoroughly | equipped with the exalted sporting j principle, can resist its most potent at- i tractiveness. "Calling" is practiced during the rutting season. It consists j in imitating the cull of the cow-moose by means of a birch-bark cone. On a clear, still night the caller, armed with his trumpet, mounts to tli9 top of a high tree. From his lofty perch he projects to a great distance in the still air of the night tlsje bellow of the cow- moose. For a long time he repeats the call without a response. At last, in the far distance, the answering cry of the A Partially Dead Man. The Morning Herald, Baltimore, Md., states : Maj. B. S. White, of this city, de­ scribes his miraculous cure as follows ; " I have been a partially dead man for ten years. Doctors attributed my sufferings to the enlargement of certain glands. The quantity of medicine I took without relief would be sufficient to set up a first-class apothecary shop. Finally St. Jacobs Oil was recommended. I had my spinal col­ umn thoroughly rubbed with it. All those knots, kinks and stiffness have passed away, aud I am myself again." Sunburned in the Arctic Regions. "The worst trouble that I had in my first voyage north," said a Maine sailor, "was from sunburn. Yes, sir--sunburn. I could stand the cold when she was forty degrees below zero; I could stand frozen noses and ears; but bust my top-rails if I didn't suffer the torments of hell the first time I got sunburnt in the arctic regions. You see, it was this way: • WTe were laid up a few days before the close of summer making re­ pairs, in about seventy-four degrees north latitude,' and right early one morning a partv of us went ashore to look around, it was pretty cold, and the consequence was we were bundled up in half a dozen thicknesses of un­ derclothes, with fur hoods over our heads, and looked like fleas in a buffalo robe. "Well, sir, along about noon time, what, with the heat of the sun, and the hard exercise that we were taking in getting over the snow and ice-hum­ mocks, I was hot as tarnation, and I just slipped the hood off my head and went along for awhile with nothing on it.- " 'Put on that hood, yon fool," hol­ lered one of the men. 'Do you want to get sunburnt ?' *'A few freckles won't hurt me,' says I. 'I never was much of a beauty. But you're the fool, to talk about sunburn in such a country as this.' "I thought that settled the whole business; so I kept right along with a bare head, whilo the other boys, who were old hands at traveling in the north, kept covered up. The side of my face that wus next to the sun was hot as fire, while the side that was in the shade was frozen pretty stiff; but as we kept tacking around in goin3 from place to place, I showed first one side and then the other to the sun, and the freezing and cooking was pretty evenly divided. "You take and stick your head clear down to the chin in a bucket of scald­ ing water, and keep it there for five minutes, and you'll know what I felt like when I got back to the ship that night. My face was swelled up so that I couldn't see out of my eyes, and one of the boys had to lead me around for three days. Mv head under my hair was so tender that I couldn't touch it to a piller, and I took my sleep like I take my whisky, standing."--Cincin­ nati Enquirer. maki propei pepsia, nervous prostration, and all forms of general debility; also, in all enfeebled Oonditions, whether tLe result of exhaustion, nervous prostration, over-work, or acute disease, particularly if resulting from pulmo­ nary complaints.
