DURING A recent discussion of the estimates for the railways of Alsace- Lorraine, which are owned and worked oy the State, it was mentioned that the daily work of locomotive drivers varied jfrom four to five hours on fast trains to y ten hours on freight trains with switch­ ing service for a long time.

ATTENTION has been called to the connection which exists between gas ': explosions in coal mines and certain at- . "biosphere conditions, which is expressed jbv saying that the number of such ex­ plosions is very considerably greater tinder atmospheric pressure (under so- called barometer depression) than with a normal or high barometer. Numerous experiments prosecuted last immmer at the mines of archduke AL- • bert, in Ostran-Karwin, confirmed the . views of the English experts and those expressed by Cowen before the English ' parliament in 187B, and Science pre­ dicts that they will produce a change ' Of opinion in other countries where ..ihoso views are not known. They show the great importance of the ; barometer in coal-mining. The order is already in force atKarwin, forbidding blasting at all dangerous points on the tipproacli of a barometric depression, . ftnd, if the danger increases, all work is ' to be suspended. A SERIES of experiments have beeni made with natural gas in the puddling .ttnd heating furnaces of the Beaver 1'alls Iron Company, Beaver Falls, Pa., /which, it is claimed by those who have been conducting the experiments, / demonstrate as an actual fact that which has heretofore been deemed an - impossibility. By the peculiar^ con­ struction of the heating furnace upon sr which the test was made the gas, after • being turned on and lighted, succeeded •in bringing the furnace to a white heat in less than two hours; with coke it gen­ erally requires twelve hours to produce •he same degree of heat. The furnace Was a cinder or ore bottomed fur ace, «nd grew so hot that the cinders in the bottom melted and ran out of the tap- • ping-hole like liquid, and had not the 4 furnace itself been. built of the very best quality of fire brick it would have Incited down. The heat was concen­ trated and combustion perfect. In the fitack there was but little flame and but few degrees of heat. Hindoo Fanatics. "The scant success of the East Indian missions cannot be explained by the want of zealous missionaries, but rather by the fact that their zeal is directed against the most tenacious creed on earth--the ineradicable cult of Brahma. Bralimanism has withstood the attacks of Moslem and Portuguese zealots; it has survived the political convulsions of half a hundred centuries; it has done more. It has prevailed against the per­ suasive gospel of Buddha Sakyamuni : ^Fifteen hundred years ago the largest part of Hindostan had accepted the doc­ trines of Buddhism, but the north­ western. strongholds of Bralimanism gradually encroached on the territory of their rivals, and at present a hun­ dred million of natives whose forefathers had, for a time, renounced all super- Btitions but the belief in the supernatural mission of their messiah have returned to their idols and worship a hundred of gods, besides the monkey Hanunian, and other zoological vermin. Their belief in the merit of self-torture, too, has revived in some of its most gro­ tesque forms. Ridicule is impotent against the belief. Since Anglo-Saxon skeptics have superseded the old mas­ ters of Texas the Mexican "penitents" have become more self-afflictive than ever, and merely observe the precaution to veil their bloodsmeared faces. Nor has derision cooled the enthusiasm of the Hindoo fakir. In the streets of Aurungabad, one of the most populous cities of the Deccan, a British officer recently saw a devotee suspend himself head downward by twisting his legs around a sort of horizontal bar, exposed to the fierce glare of the noonday sun. Tlie observer, seated on the shady ver­ andah of the stage-coach depot, watched liim from morning till noon, and saw him in statu quo when the coach started, an hour before sunset. Can­ didates for the distinction of a more perfect saintsliip supplement the caloric of solar heat by lighting fires in the open air and standing erect between three or four piles of blazing fagots. Few Caucasians could endure that or­ deal for more than half an hour, but a .Tainos, or Brahnianic devotee, will stand his ground for days together, and indignantly refuse alleviation in the form of a cooling drink. Nay, even true-believing spectators would resent interference of that sort, for tempting a Jainos to break his vow would pro­ voke the vengeance of an otherwise pro­ pitious deity, and perhaps compromise innocent third parties. Hindoo fakirs would smile at the idea of expiating sin by a pedestrian pilgrimage. Benares, the mouth of the Jumna, and other lioly localities are yearly visited by pil­ grims who have conquered distance by wriggling along the highway, after fas­ tening their wrists and ankles to a shoulder-strap, or even to an iron neck­ lace. Anjl yet the Bralimans complain that the tunes of true religious fervor are days of the past. The men who hoped to crush out the taint of original sin by hugging the wheels of the Jug­ gernaut were only second-rate devotees; a true Jainos would deliver his soul from the thralldom of the body by sit­ ting down naked in a stronghold of horse ant% or by plastering a number of artificial seres with the caustic leaves of the Urtica urens, unless he preferred to prolong the pleasure of self-destruc­ tion bv a diet of stramonium seeds.-- Frof. Felix L. Oswald. THE gem cannot be polished without friction; neither can man be perfected without trials. Green Tea and Blgek. The principal market for green tea is the United States. Having fallen rather into disrepute in the old world, it h«s established itself in the new world, where it is largely consumed and known as "tea" simply, in contra­ distinction to "English breakfast tea," "China tea," or "Oolong," by which names the black teas are designated. The reason for its popularity is no doubt in a great measure due to the in- tercouse with Japan, where green tea alone is manufactured, and which every year sends enormous cargoes across the Pacific.^ In thel making of tea, as in everything which this curious people do, the Japanese have a way of their own. It would startle an Assam planter to see them in picking time squatting down before the trees and stripping the branches of the leaves, instead of. sci­ entifically selecting only the young, undeveloped leaf, the first leaf below that and half the second, from which would be evolved respectively, "Broken Tips" or "Orange Pekoe," and "Souch­ ong." Any one accustomed to the elaborate machines for "rolling" and "fining" the leaves which are in use on European plantations, might be amused at the Japanese method, where the workers roll and squeeze and twist the leaves in their hands on a parchment stretched over a charcoal fire. Very fine teas are, nevertheless, manufac­ tured by the Japanese, and in the cele­ brated district of Uji rumor tells of tea worth $16 per pound, though it is not definitely stated whether that price has ever actually been paid for it. More­ over, in the case of teas intended for export, only so much work is done upon them as will enable them to be sent to the "tea-firing godowns" of Yokohama, where they are worked up fpr the mar­ ket before being shipped. As is now well. l;nown, the difference between green and black tea lies in the fact that in the former fermentation has been arrested by "firing," the color of the leaf being in this wav partially pre­ served and fixed; with the latter by a much longer process, fermentation up to a certain point is permitted and the leaves are not "fired" until they have become oxidized by exposure to the air. In Japan the leaves, after being picked and withered by a short exposure, are fired in the way described above suffici­ ently to stop fermentation, and in this partially cured state are sent to the European tea merchants," by whom they are again "fired." In the "go- downs" of Yokohama hundreds of wo­ men can be seen at work turning the leaves over and over and round arid round in large basins built over a char­ coal fire. The coloring or "painting," is also done at this period by means of a spoonful of indigo and powdered soapstone put into each basin and thus disseminated through its contents. But in J apan tea is not grown for ex­ port only, but is the chief article of home consumption; and these domestic teas as procured in the country are probably the only samples of unadulter­ ated green tea which Europeans are likely to meet with. They produce a beverage which is refreshing, quite harmless, and which, notwithstanding the way in which it is prepared, can, after only a short residence in the country, be readily distinguished from hot water.--Home Journal. Willing to Repeat „ I've noticed that a man can argue on one side until he believes in it. When I was a youth we had up the question: "Which gives us the greatest pleasure, the pursuit or the possession of an ob­ ject ?" I was then pursuing a maiden with great alacrity and pleasing pros­ pects, and was intensely happy in that particular business, and as I had been assigned to that side of the question, I spread myself like a green bay tree to sustain my cause. I dwelt Upon the eager fascinating pleasure with which man pursued fame and fortune, and how vain and empty he found them when once in his possession. I quoted Shakespeare and recited Cardinal Wol- sev's soliloquy: "If I had served my God as faithfully as I have served my king," etc., and I sat down with a modest content, for the eyes of the maiden were upon me and I had won her smiles. Just then one of these rollicking boys, who never prepared himself, but just opened his moutli and let her talk, rose forward and said: "Well, now suppose, Mr. President, that Brother Arp were a pnrsuin' a pretty girl that he were in love with just as hard as he could and were a longin' for her and dyin' to get her, would he druther keep on pursuin' an' pursuin' an' follerin' an' follerin' to the little end of time, or would he druther catch up with her an' hold her in his arms an' exclaim, 'She's mine, she's mine, I've got her at last, an' bless the Lord, I'm gwine to keep her forever an' ever, amen:' I say, Brother Arp, upon honor now, which had you druther?" Well, of course I blushed and so did the maiden, for everybody knew our secret, and everybody cast one eye at me and the other at her. We lost the case, but I am not yet con­ vinced that I have ever seen happier days than my courting days, and I wouldn't mind being young again and going through the same rapturous ex­ perience.-- Bill Arp, in Atlanta Con­ stitution. How American (Jirls Arc Fitted for Ac* tive Life. There is a fashionable boarding school in New York where the "young ladies" are taught to enter and get out of a carriage. A vehicle with the proper pedal arrangements for this sort of ex­ ercise, which determiner, a lady's breed­ ing and claim to social position, is kept in the back yard of the educ ational es­ tablishment, and there the "carriage classes" are put through the most arduous training. Another accomplish­ ment peculiar to this gilt-edged academy is learning to eat asparagus, oranges, grapes, and other juicy and unnianag<v able viands in a style that shall repre­ sent the perfection of table manners. Of course these are luxuries, and like French and Italians, included in the "extras," but then the social creed of to-dav sticks at nothing, not even at this expensive form of higher educa­ tion.--New l'ork letter in the Boston Herahl.

Robert Fulton Wanted a Thousand Dollar** and Ho Got It. "Ha, ha!" said a charming old gentle­ man whose memdry was wonderful for his age, for he was born during the first ten years of the present century. "In­ ventions! You can't hit them always right. It's like a lottery. A man twenty yeafs ago came to me with something and offered me a quarter share in it for $25. I didn't think it was worth shucks. Well, to-day that quarter interest would be worth a quar­ tet of a million of dollars. You see, the inventive faculty is one thing and the business talent to work out inven­ tions successfully something else. A good many people have the first, but very few the other. There was my father and Robert Fulton. It's a family story. I dare say it has been in print often and often, but you can't wear out a good thing. You see, my father and Fulton were quite intimate. Fulton was in the habit of coming to see my father, and having steamboat on the brain, he probably talked my father, John McKesson, to death. It was always endless chains or something or other. My father was a patient lis­ tener, ahd that's a talent. Cultivate it, young man. One day during office hours Fulton came to see my father. " 'John,' said he, 'I have gpt it sure. I can make her go.' " 'I am too busy to listen to you now, Fulton. I tell you what you do, come round to my house to-night.' " 'I can't,' said Fulton. 'What I want to see you about is this: I must have $1,000.' " 'Well, I haven't got it to give you. But anyhow come to the house all the same. You can take tea with us. Then you can talk with me up to 10 o'clock at night; then if you are not through I shall go to sleep. I alwavs go to bed at 10.' "Fulton seemed to hesitate for awhile and at last said lie would come. Ful­ ton did come round and took tea with father. Fulton told him about the pad- dlewheel. Father thought that a pad- dlewheel wouM never do. You see, in those times they were cocksure that the power used to lift up the water by the wheel would about neutralize the pro­ pelling force. Ha! ha! those old fel­ lows were smart. We always are in our generation." " 'Well,' father said, 'Robert Fulton, your wheel is no good. It would never work. You talk about making the boat go four miles an hour! That's an un­ heard-of speed. No, sir. With a wheel on your boat she'd stand stock still.' "Then Robert Fulton argued it out with father, and 10 o'clock came, and father was getting sleepy. Just then maybe Fulton got more excited or father more attentive, and it was 11 o'clock and they were talking over. it still. " 'It's time for you to go home, Rob­ ert,' said my father, 'unless you would like to have a bed .here, and you might as well do that' " 'If I do,' answered Fulton, 'I only adjourn the talk until to-morrow, for you must get me the $1,000.' Maybe Fulton buttonholed father before breakfast; anyhow Fulton's persuasive powers overcame father's doubts, and he agreed that he would do his best to raise the $1,000 for Fulton. Right after breakfast father went out, and the first man he met was Robert Lenox. 'See here, Mr. Lenox,' said father, 'I want some money of you to help one of Ful­ ton's schemes. You may not believe it can ever be done, but the man fancies he can make a boat go four miles an hour. I think he intends using steam, and a wheel, or something. I am going to let him have $100. Would you mind putting down your name for the same sum?' "'It seems quite preposterous,' said Mr. Lenox to my father, 'and I have no reason to believe that Mr. Fulton's boat will ever accomplish what he thinks it will. Still, if your name is down, you may let him have $100 from me.' " 'Then,' said my father, 'I will write down, "Robert Lenox, $100."' " 'No, no,' answered Mr. Lenox, 'just put down the $100 with no name to it, because I shouldn't like the people who come after me to learn that I was such a dunce as to think that Fulton or any­ body else could make a boat go with steam or wheels four miles an hour.' "That's the story my father told me. See here," said the pleasant old gentle­ man, "you never can exactly tell what does come from an invention. I won­ der what Fulton would have to say could he learn how those rocks at Hell Gate had to be blown up because they bothered that fleet of steamers which has to pass there every day. Eh ? eh ?" and the old gentleman gave here a merry laugh. - "Anyhow, Robert Fulton got his $1,000."--New York Times. The Cause of the Gulf Stream. It has been recently reported that there is a plan on foot by the Prince of Monaco to launch certain floats .to ascertain the cause of the Gulf stream, and it is said that the' co-operation of the British authorities in tliis scientific project has been asked. Whether the observations made in pursuance of this object shall serve to clear up definitely all qiu^ons of the dynamical origin and propagation of the Gulf stream, or whether they merely solve some of the disputed points, the scheme in itself deserves encouragement. Bottle experiments, to ascertain the velocity and course of the Gulf stream, fail to give exact information, because the bottle, being exposed to the winds as well as the current, gives a mixed record. But floats might be constructed so as to bo almost totally submerged, leaving so little surface exposed to the wind that the float would move with the current, in the teeth of the wind. If the theory be %ouud that the winds alone cause the Gulf stream, it would make no difference how much of the float is left exposed. But this theory is discredited, if not only utterly exploded, by the well-known fact that two contiguous currents, flowing in opposite directions, are found in the same ocean area. It is therefore all important to such an inquiry as the Prince of Monaco proposes that floats are use which will be well nigh insensible to wind agency, and will respond solely to the impulse received from the moving mass of water. If the researches are carried on with floats of this design there is little doubt that they will prove highly instructive.--Neiv York Herald. Tlie Gentle Parson and His Slieep. The story is told that a prelate of the Church of England, on accepting a country benefice, urged a friend to make him a visit as soon as he got settled, re­ marking in perfect good faith: "I have a nice little green field attached to the rectory. I mean to keep a couple of sheep, and we shall have mutton kid­ neys fresh every morning for breakfast." --'Boston Journal, When Catlin exhibited his pictures of Indian life, a little over twenty-five years ago, one of the most striking features of the collection was the rep­ resentation of the countless herds of buffalo that then ranged in millions from Mexico to the Hudson Bay ter­ ritory. In this year of grace the buf­ falo is almost as extinct as the aurochs, the bulk of the slaughter being done in the last ten years, and done so thor­ oughly that in a distance of a thousand miles a traveler was never out of sight of a dead buffalo, and never in sight of a living one. The long-range rifle in the hands of the white hunter has been the weapon of destruction. The habit of the animals in keeping together in enormous herds made them easy to be tracked; they possessed no great speed, nor did their senses enable them to de­ tect their foe at the distance which mod­ ern rifles will carry. The slaughter of them was thus not difficult, and as their hides are valuable, and their pasture grounds were coveted, the Western ranchman was not likely to be deterred by any sentimental considerations. To chase the buffalo on foot is a diffi­ cult task, the wildness of the country making the fatigue too great; the sportsman prefers to ride when en­ gaged either in looking for or pursuing his lordly game. It is not unconqjnon for parties who hunt for sport, if ponies are at hand, to change their large or­ dinary horses for the smaller and well- trained pony when the herd is in view. The hunters then approach carefully from leeward, keeping as much as pos­ sible out of sight. When concealment can be no longer maintained, they trot gently forward; the buffaloes gather together, Btare at the intruders for a moment and then dash away. A race of about half a mile takes the pursuers up to the game; each singles out a victim, rides up to its left flank, and fires, the pony wheeling sharply off to avoid any charge from tlie wounded an­ imal. In this style of hunting the hunter has to be close up, almost touch­ ing the animal, for it is so tenacious of life that it must be hit in the right spot. The charge of a wounded buf­ falo is said to be easily avoided, and accidents are rare, although it is a good rule to be cautious when near one ap­ parently dying or dead. The profes­ sional buffalo hunters use Sharp's rifles, which are the most accurate and powerful, and good for half a mile and over, and at this distance, out of sight and hearing, they can fire shot after shot into the herd, which stands still in a stupid, amazed condition. As m^ny as forty have been thus slain, the hunter scarcely changing his position. Of course, in this manner of hunting, the shooter dismounts, and, like a long- range rifleman, lies down flat. Al­ though the heavy Sharp's rifles, -With their conical bullets, will go through anything, yet at these long distances they are not of necessity immediately fatal, and the wounded creature has to be put out of its misery by a nearer shot. When it comes to a halt, the exe­ cutioner stepB up and aims just behind the shoulder. The buffalo drops its head, straddles out its fore-legs, rocks to and fro, then pitches heavily on its side, and all is over. The flesh of the cow or of the calf is good eating, and can hardly be distinguished from ordinary beef. The most delicate portion of the bull is the hump meat, the strip of meat on each side of the backbone, which is juicy and tender. It is in­ teresting to remark that a new species of buffalo is developing in the woody, precipitous regions of the mountain ranges; it shuns the open plains, lives in small herds, and is endowed with great activity, and is a clear case of the "survival of the fittest"--Harper's Bazar. An Important Function Stimulated. The kidneys exercise most important func­ tions, which are 60 wearisome that they tax to the utmost the strength and endurance of these busy little organs. Every breath, every pulsa­ tion of the heart, every movement of a limb, everv thought, makes waste and necessitates the development of new atoms. The used up particles in the blood are sifted from it and dis­ solved in » watery fluid by the kidneysj> which then discharge their fluid into the bladder. A train of disasters to the system would follow if these "ashes," so to speak, were not thoroughly strained off and discharged. This is the case when the kidneys become inactive. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, by restoring their activity, not only keeps open a most important outlet for im­ purities, but prevents diseases of the kidneys themselves, which, when inert, become liable to full a prey to diabetes, Bright's disease, mephitis, albu-menuria, and other maladies specially Incident to them, which, although not specially rapid in their progression, are particu­ larly obstinate and fatal.

Henry Meiggs was born in Catskill, N. Y., July 7, 1811. In 1835 he went to New York City, engaged in the lum­ ber business, and failed in the commer­ cial crisis of 1837. In 1838 he again started a large lumber yard, this time in Williamsburg, L. I., and was for a time successful, but in 1842 he again failed, and for several years had a hard struggle with adversity. In 1848 the gold excitement in California attracted him thither, and he there engaged in the lumber business, with such success that in a few yeais he was the owner of a large number of ships and schoon­ ers conveying lumber from various points on the.coast. At last a financial crisis in the money market of San Francisco forced him to borrow heavi­ ly, and subsequent depression of busi­ ness made it impossible for him to re­ pay the losses when they came due, and he failed, and to escape his enor­ mous liabilities, fled to South America. He settled in Chili and went into the business of a contractor for building bridges, and in l.w58 made a large con­ tract with the Chilian Government by which he subsequently cleared a profit of $1,300,000. He then devoted him­ self to railroad construction, and in Peru contracted for the construction of six railways, one of which, the Cal- lao, Lima and Oroya Railroad, ranks among the most daring achievements of modern engineering. He also under­ took the improvement of the environs of Lima, Peru, and accomplished it in a manner that excited great admira­ tion. It should be recorded to the honor of Mr. Meiggs that after he bad retrieved his shattered fortunes he re­ turned to San Francisco and paid all the claims he had there incurred in full and with interest. Mr. Meiggs was a man of refined tastes and a connois­ seur in music and art. He died in Peru in October, 1877.--Inter Ocean. • To Consumptives, or those with weak lungs, spitting: of blood, bronchitis, or kindred adectionsof throat or lungs, send 10 cents lu stamps for Dr. R.
