She wanted to know all the customs and habits of catamounts, cougars, of raccoons and rabbits, and each reptile and fish that the ocean inhabits, and all of their traits and condition. She thought that no knowledge was trite or irrelevant, from a wee, tiny humming-bird up to an elephant, and she swain around in her own proper ele­ ment while learning their habits and missions. And it was known truth that no pos­ sum or bearver could in the least fashion ever deceive her, for she'd traveled all lands from the Nile to the Neva and knew all their fish and their vermin. She knew all the habits and the traits of the condor, she was foud of the boa and the long anaconda, of the cobra and copperhead she was much fonder, and all snakes that kept coiling and squirm- le scoured the earth from the poles to the equator, for the ape and the monkey and the tough alligator, and the crocodile, shark, and all things of that natur' she sought with peculiar de­ votion. , And whenever this kind of live stock grew monotonous, she sought the rhinoc­ eros and tough hippopotamus, and she waded right in, arid surely she fought 'em worse than they had any previous notion. But in spite of her knowledge and physical bravery it was whispered, by men who were given to knavery, that she was still bound by a feminine slavery that holds all its sex in its power. For whenever a mouse came anywhere near her, she screamed so loud that her neighbors could hear her, and her poor little beau he loved her the dearer when she'd screech on a chair for an honr.-- Lynn Union, French Frivolities* At the club some one asked the ex­ cellent Gnibollard if he had any lock in the lotteries. "No," he replied, "I never win any­ thing. " "Do you often buy tickets?" "Never a one! You see I haven't had much encouragement."

As I believe and trust that most of my readers in early diners,the few remarks I have to make about the evening meal may not be thrown away. Well, then, it is a fact, which no one would attempt to gainsay, that the stomach must have an interval of rest between each meal. The period of rest should be granted to it gratuitously. It should not require to take it. But mark me: it will do so if weary. If we might personify the stomach, we could imagine it saying to the owner: "That mid-day meal was far too heavy --it was more than I could manage; I have worked away for four hours, have not yet completed digestion; there is still food here that needs to be re­ duced to chyme, but my jucies are ex­ pended ; my nervous and muscular en­ ergies are exhausted; I can do no more." And what is the result? Why, that a portion of indigestible food remains in the stomach, or passes through the pyloric opening, unreduced to chyme, fermenting and causing acidity, flatu­ lence, eructations, and many indescrib­ able feelings of discomfort. But the mischief does not end herfe, for by-and-by comes supper time. The mistaken notion that it is the correct thing to eat at regular times, whether hungiy or not, prevails, and more food finds its way into that unhappy stom­ ach. Everybody knows what a ferment is. Well, in eating before the stomach is quite unloaded, you are mixing good food with that which is digesting. Can you wonder if a restless night follows --or a night of lethargy rather than sound sleep--that you toss and tumble, or either wake too soon, without the capability of going to sleep again, or doze longer than usual, and get up at last with a heavy head and an irritable temper ? But stay, though; perhaps you have an appetite for supper. Have you? What! despite the hearty dinner you discussed? Very well; if after that dinner you took a good spell of exer­ cise in the open air, or if you had some lengthened pleasurable excitement, such as enjoying the conversation and company of friends, then this appetite of yours may be a wholesome one. But, on the other hand, if vou enjoy yourself doing positively nothing after dinner; if you have never left the bouse, nor breathed a gallon of pure fresh air, then I say ten to one your appetite is" a false one-- a bullimic one-- born of a slight degree of nervous irritation, not to say fevey. "Bullimic" is a technical word, I know, and 1 am going to explain it. "Bullimia," then, is an unnatural crav­ ing for food. One may suffer from a slight attack of it now and then, or it may become chronic, and is then known to the profession as "bullimic dyspep­ sia. " The patients suffer from hunger; and unless they vat immediately after the desire for food comes on, they get faint and low-spirited, and especially complain of a painful sense of sinking about the region of the heart and stom­ ach. The desire for food returns al­ most immediately after a good meal (Dr. Guipon). I may say parenthetic­ ally that the most usefui remedies for this kind of dyspepsia ire minced raw beef, charcoal, cod-liver oil, and pep- sine, with occasional mild aperients if the system cannot be kept free by the matutinal tub, open-air exercise, and fruit eaten in the morning. It but remains for me to say that I consider it a nervous affection,* and that occasional attacks of it are brought on by errors in diet and dieting. The question is asked constantly of medical men: "What shall I take* for supper?" The truth is that too much belief is placed in that usually nonsensical say­ ing, "The system must be supported." Nervous invalids or that class of persons whom I called in a former article "only middlings," are constantly engaged "supporting their systems"; therefore, and in consequence, they give them­ selves no chance to get well: their whole lives are spent in one continued ferment of fever. Were they only to reduce the diet for even a week or fort­ night, and to eat and live by rule, they would be simply astonished at the change, and would ask our editor to thank the "Family Doctor" for his sug­ gestions.--Family Doctor, in Cassell's Magazine. Cocaine in Optical Operations. Although cocaine has been known for a good many years, and has from tiiqe to time formed the subject of inquiry among distinguished British and con­ tinental savants, it was reserved for Dr. Carl Koller, of Vienna, to demonstrate the practical use to which its marvelous property could be put. It occurred to this gentleman that the drug might be of use in the department of diseases of the eye. With tliis object in view, he experimented upon the eyes of animals, applying the drug in solutions of certain strength, and carefully noting the re­ sults. He found that in the course of a few moments,, after the drug had been instilled several times into the con­ junctival sac of an animal, the organ became insensible; that he was able to touch the cornea--the front part of the eye, which is endowed with extreme sensibility--with a pin without the least flinching on the part of the animal. Exj>eriinenting further, he ascertained that the insensibility was not confined to the superficial parts of the eve, but that it extended throughout the cor­ neal substance, even to the structures within the ocular globe, and thus the fact so far of the utility of the drug for operative purposes came to be estab­ lished. Then he turned his attention to cases in which the eye was the seat of disease, and the cornea acutely in­ flamed and painful, and he found that much relief from the symptoms was ob­ tained by the use of the drug. Soon after this he commenced to employ cocaine in operations performed upon the eyes of patients. The results were highly satisfactory; and since then cat­ aracts have been operated on, squinting eyes put straight! foreign bodies upon the corners removed painlessly and with ease, under the influence of the drug. In cataract, especially, cocaine is of great value: this operation can be per­ formed by its means without the slight­ est sensation of pain, and yet the patient is fully conscious, and is, of course, able to follow, during its performance, the precise instructions of the surgeon.-- Cham bers' Journal. The Medical Times says that a good way to remove irritating particles from the eye is to take a horse hair and double it, leaving a loop. If the object can be seen, lay the loop over it, close the eye, and the mote will come out as the. hair is withdrawn. If the irritating object cannot be seen, raise the lid of the' eye as high as possible and place the lipop as Jar as you can, close the eye ahd roll the ball around a few* times, draw out the hair, and the sub­ stance which caused' the pain will be ptthit. Stralght-Lsteed OImiimu) of the Day Half a Century Sga 8wm Qmw Gum ta Um Courts. The Sabbath in Pennsylvania thirty- five years ago was regarded bv many young people as a "k^teror." The day might be defined as a bundle of negations--"Thou shalt not do this, and thou shalt not do that. Attendance on Sabbath school and church twice on Sunday was part of the unwritten law of the household. The only thing that modified the rigor of this day's observance was a quiescent permission to accompany the girl of your love home after evening service, provided a big brother did not inter­ pose and prevent. Church discipline was rigorous be­ yond measure, and many of the most serio-comic trials took place that have ever been witnessed in or out of a court of justice. The law prohibited "all hunting or fishing, or sport of whatso­ ever kind," on this day. It was a dead and awful calm, except as broken by the clanging of the church bells and pattering of feet on the way to the sanctuary. But by and by people be­ came restive and weary. They began to discuss what was meant by a day of rest. Those who had been to school six days of the week did not think they rested by going to school twice on Sun­ day. They could not see where any play or refreshment or "ease of crea­ tion," came in. They played truant-- stole off to the fields and woods. Many of them took their guns and hounds for a day's recreation, and matters became soserions that it was deemed advisable to resort to the courts and see if this laxity could not be prevented. A man about to die had made his Will on Sunday. The whole town was in a buzz. Could such a thing be? The will was contested and the case went to the Supreme Court, where it was solemnly decided "that the making of a will is a solemn matter, performed without the slightest disturbance of or desecration of the Sabbath," and there­ fore might be made. John Jones undertook to ride a horse from Canonsburg to Wheeling, Va, John was caught on the said horse one Sunday by a justice of the peace, and arrested for desecrating the Sabbath. The case reached the Su­ preme Court, and after exhaustive argument C. J. Gibson held that to ride a horse on Sunday did not violate the act of 1794, but he must not use the horse to carry anyone else. One William Johnston, on Septem­ ber 5, 1853, was arrested for driving au omnibus from Lawrenceville to Pittsburg on the Lord's day. He set up as an answer that the omnibus was used to convey people to church. The plea was held bad and William was fined. There was a canal that ran through the town where I resided, and a law­ suit grew out of an attempt to open the lock* and let the boats pass through. After mature consideration it was held that it might be done. It was held to be unlawful to get shaved on Sunday. You might drive to church in your own conveyance, but woe betide the Jehu who took you there in a public one. But the great controversy that stirred Pennsylvania from her center to cir­ cumference was the running of street cars on Sunday in the city of Philadel­ phia. The judicial discussion encom­ passed the whole field of human learn­ ing on the Sunday question. All that God uttered, or Moses wrote, or Con­ stantino ordained, or Parliament en­ acted, or the Colony ordered, or the Leginlature established, touching this subject, was exhaustively considered. The case was i^reBented in every jtliase, and discussed by Judge Read in every phase, and the conclusion reached was that "the sole mission of Sunday is to inculcate a temporary weekly cessation from labor, but it adds not to this re­ quirement any religious obligation;" that the running of the cars was a matter of necessity and charity and could not l»e enjoined. This discussion and decision took place in March, 1867, and from that time onward no attempt has been made to carry out the old. rigid notions that had been theretofore so seduously enforced and observed.-- J. B. Bel ford. The United States Domain -- Gadsden Purchase. By treaty with Groat Britian at the close of the Revolutionary war, the United States then extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, and from the great lakes to the south­ ern border of Georgia. The Louisiana purchase from France in 1803, included all the territory west of the Mississippi River, except what is comprised in Or­ egon, California, Texas, Arizona, and Alaska. The Florida purchase from Spain in 1819, included the State of Florida and southern portions of Ala­ bama and Mississippi. Texas, which was an independent republic of Mexico, was admitted at her own request, in 1845. Oregon was acquired by treaty with Great Britian in April, 1846. Cali­ fornia and Nevada were ceded by Mex­ ico at the close of the Mexican war in 1848. and by treaty with Mexico, five years later, the territory including Ari­ zona, Utah, and New Mexico was pur­ chased. Alaska was gained by purchase from Russia in 1867. The original area of the United States comprised 815,615 square miles. The acquired area is 2,862- 772 square miles. The Gadsden purchase is the name applied to part of the land bought from Mexico in 1853, because its transfer was negotiated by Gen. James Gadsden, who was United States Min­ ister to Mexico when the purchase was made. It includes a strip of land ex­ tending from the Rio Grande del Norte, near El Paso, westward about 500 miles to the Colorado and the border of Lower California, and from the Gila River to the border fixed by the treaty. Its greatest breadth is 120 miles, and its area 45,535 square miles.--Inter Ocean. A GoTcrnment Ratcatcher. A colored laborer in the Treasury has the record of having killed 600 rodents with his bare hands. He bmt the knack of grasping the animal by the skin between the ear and the jaw, and by a sudden twist, ending his ex­ istence. There are a number of rat- traps in the building, and the rataatcher makes a daily round to see what the supply is, killing the captives as he proceeds. He is not entirely depend­ ent upon traps, however, but often catches the rats as they scamper about the waste-paper rooms. The Treasury employes Bay that he has never yet been bitten by a rat during his career. Some of his victims are great, big mossbacks that have defied capture for years. The ratcatcher feels secure in his government position.--Washing­ ton Letter.

This separation of iime, uric acid, and other waste material from the blood, without robbing it of ft particle of the life fluid, passes human comprehension. In health this blood-purifying process is carried on without our knowledge. The organs in which it is done are faithful servants whose work is silent as long as health remains. "People strangely wait until pain strikes a nerve before they will realize that they have any trouble. They do not know that pain concerns chiefly the exterior, not the ulterior, of the body. A certain set of nerves con­ nect these blood-purifying organs with the brain. They may not gnaw aud bite as doos the toothache or a scratch, but they regu- larly, silently report. When these organs are failing, these nerves indicate it bv drawing the blood from the face and cheek, leaving the lip and eye blanched, by sending urio acid poison into the smallest veins, the skin then becoming gray, yellow, or brown. They also prevent the purification of the blood in the lungs, and cause pulmonary difficulties, weari­ ness and pain.

If we take dry wood as being one-half carbon, and estimate 200 feet, or fifteen pounds of air, as needed for quick com­ bustion, we find that in a room 25x100- xl6 feet, contain ng 40,000 cubic feet, a fire will begin to be checked after burn­ ing only 200 pounds of wood, and that the oxygen of the air will be absolute­ ly consumed in burning about 500 unds. This would he equivalent to mruing a hole in the floor (one inch thick) of only eight to thirteen feet square (since dry wood weighs about three pounds per foot, B. M.). These facts emphasise the importance of pre­ venting t&e access of air, of having cut-offs wherever available to limit draughts, of limiting the cubical con­ tents of rooms or buildings, and of tight-shutting windows and doors, . . . | ^ . v Mm ud Vomm WM aM constantly nervou* are, in ninstoen { eases ouTof twenty, dyspeptic.
