Gm, is mining for cornndum. Yesterday he found that his supply of water, with which he used to wash his corundnm. had ceased to flow. One of his workmen was de- spatchcd to find out the cause. He quickly returned and said that the mountain was sinking. Soon the alarm spread, and par- ties started to solve the mystery. They soon found that a very large fissure was opening in the earth in the shape of a semicircle, am large trees were falling in every direction. The amount of land on compasscd was about forty acres. By ex- amining closely, they found that other fls- sures were opening on the southwest and northwest, crossing the mountain. The opening in some places is as much as six feet wide and the depth is unknown. Killed by Snakes and Wild Beasts. The most recent official report upon the subject of mortality from snakes and wild beasts in India contains the grave informa- tion that in spite of the lar c and increasin sums spent in rewards fort 0 animals kill fatalities increase at an alarmin rate. There is reason, in fact, to believe t at the offer of these rewards has in some cases stimulated the breeding of snakes. Taken as a whole, therefore, this report would seem to indicate that the reward system has failed to accomplish its purpose. It is now a vted that the cover round about the vil ', which afords lodging for snakes, she d be destroyed, anddiatnct oficers are to be instructed to see that this is done. 'In‘ the year 1838 mono persons, as well as 76,- 000 cattle. met their death through snakes and wild beasts of vm'ious kinds in India. 1 long black.

Mastica- tion performed in haste must be imperfect even with the best of teeth, and due admix- ture of the salivary secretion with the food cannot take place. When a. crude mass of inadequately crushed muscular fiber, or un- divided solid material of any description, is thrown into the stomach, 'it acts as a mechanical irritant, and sets up a condition in the mucousmembrane lining of thatorgan, which greatly impedes, if it does not alto- gether prevent, the process of digestion. When the practice of eating quickly and filling the stomach with unprepared food is habitual the digestive organ is rendered incapable of performing its proper functions. Either a much larger quantity of food than would be necessary under natural conditions is required, or the system suffers from lack of nourishment. The matter may seem a small one, but it is not so. Just as a man may go on for years with defective teeth, imperfectly masticating his food and wonder- ing why he suffers from indigestion, so a man may habitually live under an affliction of hurried dinners and endure the conse- quent loss of health without knowing why he is not well or how easily the cause of his illness might be remedied.â€"[MedicalClas- sics. Mechanism of the Heart. Now the American idea of treating the heart when it is diseased from overwork is to stop the bad food and give good food. Nature will then remove from the blood- stream the physical causes of obstruction, and the heart will come down in size and be restored, simply because it has no more than its normal work to do. This fan. prin- ciple of surgery, to wit, to remove a foreign body from the eye, and the eye gets well of itself; nature will alwaye cure if she has a P chance. of it. » Few have any idea how far the blood has to travel in the human body. If the capil- laries, which are 1-3,000th of an inch in di- ameter, of the human body could be removed and put into one straight line, it is estimat- ed that this line would reach round the globe : call it 1,000 miles, it is clear that it will take force to project water throu h such a tube, and that it would take more orce to project molasses. Now, if the heart pro- jects normal blood through this tube, it is also clear that it would have to work hard~ er to project abnormally thick blood, and so The nerves of the heart are automatic, and do their work in their way as the nerves of the head do theirs. They appear to know when there is obstruction to the circulation, and they make the heart beat harder. When I was a medical student a snake was brought to be killed. It was in a deep glass jar, and a stream of carbonic acid gas was turned on. In a few minutes it was dead. All the gas was not used, but was turned on to the back of my hand ; soon the skin was a livid lead color, was devoid of feeling, and paralyzed. Now this gas large- ly formed in the stomach becomes absorbed through the heart sac, and paralyzcs the heart. Probably .tlns was so with Secretary “’indom. He had eaten and then he spoke. The force used in speaking was taken from the work of digestion so that the blood fer- mented, or he may have been drinking car- bonic acid water, and the stomach was full of carbonic acid Thence it exosposed into the heart sac and death follmved. I knew a doctor (who knew better) to die from eating food which he knew would fer- ment, simply because he preferred the taste of his viands ' to their pathol 'cal effects. He isnot alone ; so long as ' d lives to eat and does eatto live, just so long will sudden death from weak hearts occur. Secretary Windom had treahnent, but it was neutralized by a too close attention to business and possibly by the late financial, world-wide panic, in which people looked to government for relief for the evils brought on by speculation. People forgot that it is work to liveâ€"that each person has alimit- ed amount of dynamic energy to expend in doing life work.

PRINCE NAPOLEON. Claimed to be the Last orlhe Bonaparles.-â€" Plan-Hon not the [lead or the Ilouse. There died in Rome the other day the man who, since the death of Louis Napoleon, the Prince Imperial, in an African jungle, has been re ded as the head of the family founded y the great Napoleon. This man was not really entitled by seniority to the distinguished place which was accorded to him. In reality the place belonged to an American citizen, the grand- son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte and his Baltimore wife, Miss Pattisou. Prince J er- ome, one time King of “’estphalia, was in America when a young man, and married an American lady. There were children of the marriage, and at this time there lives in Washington an amiable and accomplished gentleman who really is the head of the house of Bonaparte. He, however, is content to be a plain American citizen, and does not bother himself to contest the claims of others to the empty honor of heading the pretences of a dethroned dynasty. When Prince Jer- ome deserted his American wife at the com- mand of his elder brother, who then seemed Frederica Catherine,‘ of Wurtemburg, and was made King of ~Westphalia. The son of this marriage, Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul Bonaparte, the man who has just died, was borne in Trieste in 1822. During the time of the third Napoleon he was known as Prince Jerome, butgsince the fall of the Em- pire and the death of Louis Na leon’s son he had been known as Prince apoleon. He was a man of ~ marked ability, but so devoid of consistent principle, that notwith- standing his theatrical appearances at vari- ous times of public turmoil, he never sue. ceeded in holding the respect and admiration of the section of Frenchmen who believed in the rule of the Bonapartes. He changed his political creed as readily as he changed his clothes, and no one ever knew exactly what dependence could be placed upon him. In personal a pearance he very much resembled the first apoleon, but he was fat, and. Be- ranger described him as a genuine Napoleon medal dipped in German grease. Ho visited France for the first time in 1845, and afterward lived there with his father. In 1848 he first came prominently before the French people as an advocate and instigator of the revolution which dethroned Louis Philippe. This being accomplished, he was elected a Deputy from Corsica tothe Constituent Assembly. Next ear he was elected from the Department 0 the Sarthe to the Legislative Assembly. 'From Louis Napoleon he accepted the position of Minis- ter toMadrid. He had hardly reached his post before he quit it to take part in some legislation pending in the body of which he was a member. For leaving his post with- out permission he was dismissed. He now became the leader of the extreme Republican party, and was bitter in his opposition to the clericals. At this time began a quarrel between him and Louis Napoleon’s wife. It never ended. When Louis Na oleon established himself as Emperor, rince Jerome took a seat in the Senate and Coun- cil of State as an Imperial Prince, with the right of succession in case the Emperor should not have a son. In the Crimean war he had a command, but he did not come up in time at either Ink- erman or Alma. At his request he was relieved. His enemies accused him of cow- ardice, and he was given the nickname of “Plon-Plon,” which stuck to him through life. Kinglake acquits him of the charge of personal cowardice. But, at any rate, he was not fond of fighting. for in 1861 the Due d’Aumal challenged him toa duel, but Plon- Plon declined the invitation. In 1859 he married Princess Clothilde, a daughter of King Victor Emanuel. He was not an exemplary husband, and he and his wife lived se aratcly for many years before his death. here were three childrenâ€" Prince Victor, Prince Louis, and Princess Letitia, she who a few years ago married her mother’s own brother, the late ex-King Amadeus. By the will of the Prince Im- e'rial, Prince Victor was named as the head of the family, and at one time the father ac- quiesced in this, but for several years he has asserted his right to the succession, and every now and again has printed manifestoes as the Bonaparte policy. His best service probably was as President of the Exposition in 1857. He showed great executive ability. He visited this country during the civil war. He met Mr. Lincoln in Washington, and then, with the French Minister, went through the lines to the Con- federate capital. In 1865, at the unveiling of a statue of Napoleon I. at Ajaccio, he made a sensational speech, and professed the most radical republican ideas. He was re. buked by his cousin the Emperor, and threw up his public employmcnts, including the Presidency of the Exposition of 1867. After the establishment of the precent republic in France, Prince Napoleon accepted it appar- ently without reserve, buthis numerous maui~ festoes made the world suspect that he was, quietly waiting an opportunity to re-estab- lish the empire. In 1886 the resolution of the Chambers of Deputies banishing the heads of families which have reigned com- lled him to seek an asylum elsewhere. 6 never returned to France, but it has been an estcd that his visit to Rome was of a semi- iplomatic mature, and in the interest of France. Princess Clothilde was with him when he died, and at the last he accepted the ministrations of the Church. The abandonment of farms in New Eng land has become so important that Vermont and Hampshire have undertaken to colonize their abandoned land, and prosperous Mas~ sachusetts has made the matter the subject of a special investigatio'n by its Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Massachusetts re- port, just submitted, aims to show that the evil has not assumed such proportions as is generally assumed.

' Injudicious feedin is one of the most frequent mistakes of beginners in poult raising, and one that gives rise to much i success. Hens that are too much fed take on fat, lay soft eg 5 or cease to lay any, get lazy, feverish, on are aready prey to all sorts of chicken diseases. There should be fed onlyas much as will be eaten eagerly and no more. As soon as the least indiffer- ence to food is manifested the supply should be cut short; and after each meal all food left uneaten should be cleared away. Grown fowls should be fedonly twice a day â€"-at morning and evening. At noon, on our place, the different strains are turned out separately into their exercising ground, where there is a pile of earth thrown up and sown with grain. They scratch into this heap for the hidden food, and strengthen their muscles while doing it. The food furnished grown birds should be of a kind to make muscle without too much fat and, in my case,- is particularly designed to produce eggs. The greater variety of food the better. The following mixture is found to be admirable both for producing egg material and for makin healthy, stron bodies. Three sacks of w eat, two sacks 0 broken corn, two sacks of oats, one bushel of ground oyster shells, ono‘bnshel of broken charcoal, one gallon of sulphur, and one-half bushel of salt; all of this thoroughly well mixed. Town-raised chickens need some meat, and this, boiled and chopped fine, is given them two or three times a week. In the country, where they can pick up worms and catch insects, the meat is not necessary. For rainy days, when it is too wet to go out of doors, a good plan is to hang a solid head of cabbage in the hennery, just high enough to com el the birds to jump for it. This will offer amusement and exercise for hours at a time besides being a good ad- dition to the diet. Scaling Fish Even on the seashore not one person in a thousand knows the easy way of taking scales from a fish without breaking the skin. This is perhaps less remarkable because the" idea was suggested by a young farmer. He loved to fish and, living on the shore of Lake Champlain, had plenty of fish. When they were caught they had to be cleaned. It is no fun to take the “ pin feathers” from atwo-pound yellow perch. The are a little worse than anysalt water fish have ever attempted to take out of their clothes, One day my young friend had made a big haul and, as there was a large party to eat, there had to be a ood number of fish “ picked." The knife id not work well, the spines stuck in his fingers and there were only a few of the bi pile finished. An idea came into his heat. How would a currycomb work? There was a new comb in the barn and in about two minutes he had it in operation. It worked. The scales came off as easily as the skin from a boiled potato. No basket full of fish was ever before cleaned so quickly. The currycomb never went back to the stable. There was better use for it among the fishing-tackle, Now everybody in that part of the country knows howto scale fish in a hurry, and every fisherman has his currycomb as handy as his fishing pole. The firm teeth seem to take hold of each individual scale leaving the skin uninjured. Not a scale escapes and the rapidity with which it can be done is something astonishing to one who has always used a knife for that purpose. Don't forget the currycomb the next time fish have to be cleaned in the house. *g An Angel In Disguise. If the wives of our employers were to take the trouble to inquire a little closerinto the domestic lives of the men employed by their husbands, saysMr. Bali in The Ladies’ Home Journal, this world would be a for brighter one for many a hurd~worked woman who burics her trouble in her heart, and wi away the only outward trace of it with for apron. I know of an employer whose wife interested herself in the lives of the people in his store so that she ascertained the birth- days of their wives, their children, and even the wedding-days. It was done so quietly and so sweetly that none suspected her purpose. But now on each festive day in those fifty odd families there comes some pleasant remembrance. It is never the same, but always smoothing that is just needed in that family at that time. Every six-months those husbands find a little dif- ference in their sola envelopes. At Thanksgiving a splendid ird goes to each of the houses in the employers name: at Christmas-time the hand of the wife is visi- ble. None, of the women whose paths this one woman has so pleasantly smoothed has ever seen her! To them she is like an in- visible angel of goodness, but man are the silent prayers that go up in t osc fifty homes for her gentle consideration for others. The last difliculty in the way of the Austro~Gorman treaty has been removed by German consenting to the desired reduc- tion of utiea on Annie-Hungarian cereals and timber. .. . wafim .7 c... u.
