Rheumatism and Neuralgia have reigned
supreme ever Mine* the world knew them. They have
tyrannized over all classes of people. They have
laughed in the face of the medical profession.
In spite of alkaline treatment, acid treatment,
hyperdermic injections,! lusters,liniin.-uu.iuid every
thing else that the medical faculty could suggest.
Rheumatism and Neuralgia have held giant sway.
All that medical skill has been able to do for
these terrible maladies is to afford temporary relief.
Athlophouom is announced as an absolute cum
Mr. Haden, of Fair Haven, Conn., had been
tormented by neuralgia for years. Related failures
of remedies had made him a continued skeptic. He
says: “ When Hook the lint dote of Athlobhobos l
had no faith." Because every thing had failed, he
thought Atruophobos would also. But the second
dose iiegau to show its powerful effects.
With marvelousquickness Athuophoros cast
out the old tormentor, and now there is no lack of
faith on the part of the gentleman who was thus re
stored to perfect health.
He tried athlophoros Just as a last resort,
and because- somebody told him it would cure him.
Thu* It has been with many and many a
victim of Rheumatism and Neuralgia. They had
tried so many alleged remedies which proved worth
less, that it is no wonder they were skeptical.
Now whether you are skeptical or not, just TRY
jhj LoplnoßOS!
If you cannot get ATHnoraottosof your druggist,
we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular
price- one dollar j«r bottle. We prefer that you buy
It from your druggist, but if he hasn’t It, do not t«e
persuaded to try something else, but order at once
from us as directed. N

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr. David Clay pool, formerly Sergeant
at-Arms of the New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. J., makes the following startling
statement: “My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak I raised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship
6niithing)was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and I was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition I
commenced using Mishler’s Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and I
had improved so much, 1 stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that I have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler’s Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and I must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and I will make affidavit to it, for 1
owe my life to Mishler’s Herb Bitters.”
- The secret of the almost invariable relief
and tare of consumption, dysentery, diar
rhoea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler’s Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in it»composition ; prepared by a regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepara
tion; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor

JOHN SMITH, MONAD.
[J. F. Griffin, M. D., In N. O. Times-Democrat.]
Some years ago, when the subject of
transcendentalism was auite the fashion
and everybody was talking it, a young
gentleman who was sitting near the
guards of a steam tioat plying the waters
of the Hudson, asked an elder companion
to explain to him the meaning of tran
scendentalism.
“Nothing is easier,” was the reply.
“You see you rock cliff, forming the
bank of the river; you observe also a hole
or cavity in the cliff. Well, now-, take
away all the rock around the hole and
leave nothing but the bole —that is tran
scendentalism. ”
Dressed in the garb of philosophical lan
guage, the ordinary human mind is not
prepared to take in the ideas of tran
scendental philosophy', but when brought
before the mental vision in a plain man
ner it is by no means inexplicable
Were Ito undertake to talk to one un
acquainted with technical language upon
the sub ect of chemistry, 1 should not be
understood. Neither would I be under
stood if I talked of atoms, of molecules, of
isomorpliism.Jof acidulous and basilous
radicals, together with the whole nomen
clature of the science, This, indeed,
would be mysticism, and such 1 take it to
be with transcendental philosophy, as
technically elucidated
1 can easily understand the meaning of
Pjato when he talks of idea* in the plain
est of lauguage, but who is not lost in be
wilderment when Kant and Liebwitz and
Hegel talk of ibe agreement of the sub
jective with the ob active, of the know
able with the unknowable, of tlie Kgo and
the non L go, oi the monad and the
noumeuou.
John Smith was a bachelor, and. living
alone, he consequently slept alone. He
sat up late one night reading the “Critique
of 1 ure i.easou, ” by Emanuel Kant, and,
as he read, candor and truth requires the
statement that at intervals he partook
of the contents of a black look
ing bottle on bis sideboard, which
bore upon the label the legend
“Eau de \ ie, ” and which, doubtless,
he drank in order to clear his mind of
gathering cobweba
It was late before be went to bed, and
consequently late when liegot up. As he
did so he put ou a robede chambre, and
then took a seat in his arm-chair, not neg
lecting, however, to pay his respects to
the bottle that bore that "strange device. ”
As be took bis seat, lie chanced to glance
toward the bed be had just left, and was
not a little surprised at seeing a man ly
ing where a moment before he had lain,
and wearing a robe de chambre so identi
cally like bis own, which was of a pecul
iar pattern that it struck him as singular.
lie was somewhat startled, and turning
toward the individual w’ho occupied the
bed. be thus addressed him:
“Who in the name of thunder are you?”
There are reasons for supposing that
thunder was not the word he used, but it
is always difficult to report one s exact
language, especially if it be irreverent
“Who am I?” said the subject in bed.
“Well, to be sure, L am John Smith.”
“Well” said the interrogator, “how’s
that? I am John Smith. "Certainly,”
was the reply. “ 1 am perfectly aware
your name is John Smith, and as you and
1 are the same person, it follows that my
name also is John Smith. ”
"What?” said the interrogating John
Smith, “you and I the same iervon?
That s al i gammon. ”
“ You can just believe what you please
about it." was the reply, "but l m your
double. ” .
The original John Smith had a sus
picion this was true, for he felt as if
something belonging to him was missing.
$o he said:
“Are you me, or am I you?”
“Both,” was the reply. “You and I
are both of us. lam the non ego and you
are tbe ego. 1 am the objective, and you
are the subjective. lam the ideal, and
you are the material. lanrthe lieteron
omy of will, and you are the autonomy
of will. lam the noumenon and you are
the phe-noumenon. I sin the uncondi
tional. and you are the conditional, con
stituting the non identity and the identity.
lam the duad, and yon are the monad,
and henceforth >ou st all be known as
John Smith, the monat . ”
“Well ” said John Smith, the monad,
“that rather beats anything I ever heard
of. upon my word I nev >r thought there
were two of us. I erhaps now there are
three of us. ” “Oh no, ” said John Smith,
the duad, “that can not he, the triad only
belongs to deity. You and lin ourselves
constitute absolute totality. You are the
substance, I am the accident. You
are the cause, I am the effect. We to
gether constitute the dogmatic realism,
and the dogmatic idealism. ”
“Is there anything,” inquired the
monad, “categoric about us?” “Ah you
refer lo Aristotle, ” said the duad. “Aris
totle, who was he, ” asked the monad.
“Aristotle,” said the 4 duad, “was one of
the greatest philosophers and naturalists
that ever lived. lJr. Johann Muller
says he was the clearest intellect that ever
illuminated the world; t ampanella stvles
him Nature genius, the genius of nature;
and St. .ierome, the t bristian. wrote of
him. ae Miraculum mundi. the miracle of
the world lie was horn at Stagira in the
days of Grecian grandeur, was brought
up at the court of Macedon, his father
being the physician of King Philip.
He was the tutor of Alexander
the Great, and for twenty years
the favorite pupil of Plato. He
had every advantage of study,
and according to Strabo tvas the first man
who ever formed a library. So great was
his genius that he controlled the opinions
of tbe enlightened portions of the human
race ‘ for years. He wrote many
books —one called the Categories, to
which 1 thought you referred When
Alexander was boru, Philip wrote to the
Stagirite: ‘I inform you 1 have a son I
thank the gods, not so much for making
me a father as ior giving me a son in an
age when he can have an Aristotle for his
iustrui tor. I hope you will make him a
successor worthy of me, and a king
worthv of Macedonia ”
Here the duad l eased, and the monad
then renmrked: “Considering that, you
are the other half of me, you seem to lie
pretty knowing, but I suspect that you
got that out of some book. Hut let me
ask you a question that requires no learn
ing. 110 you eat or not’: for I assure you
it is all 1 can do to keep myself supplied
with tbe necessities for supporting life,
and now that there are two of us. I fear
on that score there will be trouble. ** “He
easy,’’said the duad; “whatever you eat
1 cat, iu a spiritualized condition;
remember that you and 1 are
both of us. ” “Then, whatever you eat
or consume you say is spiritualized. 1
like that idea very much. lam fond of
spirits myself, so you must have
a good time of it By the way."
continued John tsmith, the monad,
“for some time pjist 1 have been thinking,
as you may know, being me, of marry
ing tbe Widow Jones, but I don’t like
this idea of there being two of us; my
wife would be a bigamist. ” “Well, now, *
said the duad, “you must abaudon the no
tion of marrying the Widow Jones or any
one else; I shall oppose any such an ar
rangement. ” “I don't Intend, w said th«
monad, “for you or any other man to
dictate to me in a matter of that sort;
I’ll give you to understand I have a will
of my own. ” “ Probably so, ” said the
duad; “every man thinks he is con
scious of a power to determine, in things
which he conceives to depend upon his
determination. The determination to do
or not to do something which we con
ceive to be in cur power, is called will,
but probably it would be well enough to
bear in mind this fact, as Mr. Buckle
says, that when we perform an uotion we
perform it in consequence of some mo
tive or motives, that these mo*ives are the
results of some antecedents, and as all an
tecedents are either in the mind or out of
it. we dearly see that all the variations in
the results—in othorwords all the changes
of which history is full, all the vlcissi
; Hides of the human race, their progress or
their decay, their happiness or their mis
ery—must be the fruit of a double action
—one of external phenomena upon the
mind aud another of the miud upon the
phenomena. ”
John Hniith, the monad, was so put out
with this philosophy that he determined
to get rid of his spiritual self; who was
lyiug so composedly in the bed. He sud
denly jumped up from his arm-chair,
went to tiie sideboard, poured out the
last contents of his bottle into a glass aud
drank it down, and proceeded to throw
aside his robe de chain ore preparatory to
dressing. He was somewhat surprised to
see his double instantly spring out of bed.
proceed to the sideboard and go through
the process of pouring out liquor and
drluking it down, although he himself
had already drained the bottle; but when
he saw the'duad smack liis lips he stood
in admiration and almost wished he were
a spirit himself, so readily could he sup
ply himself, he thought, from an empty
bottle. )ie proceeded to d ress himself
■ aud saw that his double had thrown aside
his robe and was dressing also.
John Bmith, tbe mohad, seeing this,
-endeavored to dress In haste, so that get
ting dressed drat he would run out of the
door, and shutting it quickly, would shut
up the duad, aud thus get rid of him. It
was a failure An h« jruabed out. and
Herald.
slammed the door, he found the duad by
his side ready dressed. He strode down
the street with the duad close upon him.
He made directly for a drinking saloon,
and so rapid were his movements that
every one who saw wondered, but none
saw the duad.
John Smith, the monad, entered e
saloon, and he treated the crowd, atn %
he had never been known to do bef *
In fact, he had never before treated so
much as a single person, and therefore
his friends recognized that he was under
some unusual inJuence. He kept his eyes
on the duad, and noticed that whenever
he drank the duad drank also.
Turning to the duad, he addressed him
thus: “See here, the first thing you know
you will be druuk. ” As no one saw the
duad and, as Smith's face was in the di
rection of his friend lfobinson. all thought
be bad addressed that individul, aud there
was a laugh. He kept ou treating and
drinking, aud finally had the satisfaction
of seeing the duad drunk, never suspect
ing that he himself was drunk—so drunk,
indeed, that bis friend Robinson found it
necessary to take him home, and
the burden of his talk was as
follows: “Ego non ego hie ab
solute subjective consciousness —hie
—objective—knowable—nic. i. go cogito
—tree will—'hie—necessity—ergo sum. ”
“Some?” said Hobinson. “ omeof what?”
“First cause, ” said be. “I reckon it was

what?” said Hobinson. “ i iato. ” “Flay
to what?” said his friend. “Cognition,”
said he, and by this time he was put to
bed, and he went to sleep, aud if he did
not sleep the sleep of the jiwt it was at all
events the sleep that folioweth deep pota
tipna <»n the following morning when
he awoke lie found that he had arrived
at full consciousness. He looked around
for the duad aud was glad not to see him,
and swearing off then and there he ever
afterward remained a sober man. and
finally, notwithstanding the duad and his
quotations from .Mr. Buckle, he proposed
to the widow aud was accepted. ”
Steam Whistles.
IC'tiicasfo Herald.;
The locomotive whistle may be termed
the forerunner of all the steam whistles.
They are all constructed alter that one
pattern. It consists of a cock opening
by four side holes into an annular cham
ber, wheuce the steam escapes through an
annular a; erture. about one sixty-fourth
of an iuch in width, striking in its exit
the edge of a bell fi ,ed by a stem to the
cock, whereby the sound is'produced. The
edge of this bell is about one-thirty-
of an inch thick, and should be ex
actly over tlie openings so that the issuing
steam impinges directly upon it. The
metal, in order to produce an artistic
sound, should be of the same composition
as clock bells.
If these details of arrangement and size
are strictly' adhered to, and tlie size of the
whistle is calculated to a nicety in relation
to the steam t ower operating it, a fulf,
rich sound can be produced, as a few
steam organs or calliopes still in existence
amply demonstrate. Hut inasmuch as
steam whistles are simply matiers of util
ity and not constructed with a view to the
harmony of spheres, they emit the most
excruciating souuds the most hideous
and dominant in all the car piercing noises
produced in a great city.
Felting Trees with Dynamite
Kxeh»*ng:e.]
Forest trees are now felled with dyna
mite. A cartridge of the explosive su!>-
stance is placed in a channel bored di
rectly 'Under the tree to be operated upon,
and when exploded the tree is simply
forced up bodily a"d falls intact on its
side. In most instances it is found that
the tree is not fractured by the force of
the explosion; a large nroportion of wood
at the base of the trurk can be utilized
which is uow lost. For clearing forest
properties this method is admirably
adapted, as it brings up the root of the
tree at the one operation, and dispenses
with the tedious and costly process of
grubb'mg the roots of the fehed timber.
A Highly Educated Chimpanzee.
[Dr. Brehm in Popular Monthly.]
I was once the owner of a highly edu
cated chimpanzee. He knew all the
friends of the house, all our acquaint
ances, and distinguished them readily
from strangers. Every oue treating him
kindly he looked upon as a personal
friend, lie never felt more comfortable
thau when he was admitted to the fam
ily circle and allowed to move freely
around, and open and shut doors, while
his joy was boundless when he was as
signed a p ace at the common table, and
the guests admired his natural wit and
practical jokes. He expressed his satis
faction and thanks to them by drumming
furiously on the table.
In his numerous moments of leisure his
favorite occupation consisted in investi
gating carefully every object in his reach.
He lowered the door of the stove for the
purpose of watching the tire, opened
drawers, rummaged boxes ami trunks,
and played with their contents, provided
the latter did not look suspicious to him.
How easily suspicion was aroused in his
mind might be illustrated by the fa; t that,
as long as he lived, he shrank with terror
from the common rubber ball. Obedi
ence to mv orders and attachment to my
person, ami to everybody raring for him,
were among his cardinal virtues, aud he
bored me with hi* persistent wishes to ac
company ma
He knew perfectly his time for retiring,
and was happy when some one of -us
carried him to the bed-rnom like a bab .\
As soon as the light was put out he would
jump into the bed and cover himself, be
cause he was afraid of the darkness. His
favorite meal w'as supper with tea, which
he was fond of, provided it was largely
Bweetened and mixed with rum. lie
sipped it from the cup, and ate the dipped
bread slices with a spoon, having been
taught not to use the lingers in eating; he
floured his wine from the bottle and drank
t from the glass. A man could hardly
behave himself more gentlemanlike at
table than did that monkey.

TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE LONDON
HORSEWHIPPING SENSATION. .
How » Prominent Britisher Repaid Hos
pitality—Ruin and than the Mad*
house—Villlanous Treatment
of a Betrayed Girl.
London, Aug. 14.—The names of the
principals in the sensational horse-whipping
affair in this city Wednesday are now pub
lic property. The gentleman who wielded
the stick was Mr. Francis, of Glasgow;
his victim was Mr. Pearce, chief of the
great Glasgow ship-building firm of
John Elder & Bros., a married man
and a member of Lord North
cote’s royal commission on the depression in
trade. Mr. Francis has told the story of
his wrongs. ‘ 'This man Pearce,” he says,
was once my most trusted friend, and our
intimacy was of many years’ standing. Five
years ago, when my daughter was a very
beautiful girl of 17, the villain took ad
vantage of bis familiar acquaintance at my
house to accomplish her ruin. He per
suaded her to secretly .ea*”* the school
near Glasgow, which she was attending,
took her to London, and established her in
handsome private lodgings. At first he sur
rounded her with every luxury ana gave her
a regular allowance of $75 per week. All
this Ume I was in ignorance of the fate or
hiding-place of my daughter, and, after
a thorough search, aided by shrewd
detectives, I at last gave up
all hope of finding her, and mourned
for her as dead. But Pearce gradu
ally tired of his victim, and her allowances
dwindled down from $75 per week to noth
ing. She managed to live for some time by
pawning or selling her jewelry and ward
robe, but finally she appealed to him in des
peration to give her at least the means to
keep herself alive until she could procure
employment Her appeals became
troublesome and he proceeded
to get rid of her in
the brutal and outrageous way which the
English lunacy laws make only too easy for
the rich ruffian. By fraud and force she
was removed to a private mad-house, and
confined there as an insane woman. It was
while she was in this bedlam that I learned
her fate, and I secured her release. Her
doctors admitted to me that she was not
mad, and had not been mad, but had
been laboring under terrible mental excite
ment, amounting to hysteria, when brought
to the asylum. Afterward she had lapsed
into a state of lestless, despairing apathy,
and as the doctors did not know as she had
any friends except the man who had had
her confined there, and as her board
was regularly paid, they had kept
her at the asylum. I met Pearce
accidentally. My wrong rushed upon my
mind and almost blinded me with rage. I
could have killed him where be stood with
no more compunction than I would feel in
killiug a rat or any other vermin. But I
gave him a chance for his life. I offered to
meet him in & duel on the continent. He re
fused. i thrashed him until my stick broke
in ray hand and the crowd rushed between
us, when he escaped.
Mr. Francis has instituted a criminal
action against Mr. Pearce. The latter ex
plained the difficulty to a reporter of The
Pall Mall Gazette by .-aying that the charge
of seduction was fal«e and that the whole
thing was but a case of blackmail
of a peculiarly bad kind. For this state
ment Mr. Francis brings action. He says
he thought Mr. Pearce had done him a
wrong sufficiently cruel in betraying his
daughter under the guise of friendship,
without adding the insult of describ
ing the family as blackmailers. Mr.
Pearce is a rich Conservative, and had
been selected by the Tories to stand as their
candidate for GlasgowTn the coming elec
tion. Mr. Francis is agentlemanof respect
able social j-tandmg, and is a member of the
government civil service, being an inspector
of customs.
THE GRANT MONUMENT.
Commander- in-Chlef Burdett’s Views—A
Washington Citv, Aug. 14.—Gen. Bur
dette, comiutuider-in-chief of the Grand
Army of tbe Republic, replies to ex-Presi
dent Hayes in regard to contributions from
the Grand Army of tbe Republic for the
New York monument as follows:
1 note with concern that it still seems to
you to be tbe duty of the authorities of the
G. A. R. to encourage their comrades to
contribute to the building of a monument at
the grave of Gen. Grant in New York. 1
have been unable to bring my mind in ac
cord with yours on that point The sta(e of
the question betweeu us seems to be tnis:
it being determined that the interment of
the body of our late comrade
shall be in a public park, under
the control of the municipal authori
ties of New York city, you are of opinion
that tiie national monument which is to
signalize for ail time the love and veneration
of the whole people for their greatest serv
ant should be erected over bis body in that
place, aud that the means should be pro
vided by voluntary subscription of the peo
ple, the G. A. R. participating as subscrib
ers to and chief promoters of the fund, its
splendid organization being utilized for aid
ing and pushing -.he contributions. On ths
other hand 1 hold to the opinion that the G. A.
R. will desire first of all to erect its own dis
tinctive monument to our comrade, not at a
great co.t but for that purpos.* raising only
such sum as composed of the equal contri
butions of each individual comrade shall
be within the reach and the glad gift of the
poorest. The national monument to be
erected should be of such proportion- and
cost as to ba beyond the reach of private
benevolinee, and of right and propriety
ought to ba ordered by the congress of the
United States and paid for out of the na
tional treasury.
How They Feel in the South.
An. ANT A. Ga., Aug. 14.—1 tis felt in
many places in the south that the monu
ment to Gen. Grant should assume the dual
character of a monument to Geu. Grant and
Gen. Lee. Dr. J. B. Hinckley, of Georgia,
one of the l>est known surgeons of the army
of northern Virginia, subscribes SSOO for
tbe purpo-e, and calls upon the proper au
thorities in New York to give the matter
this shape so that Confederates may join in.

Esquimau Candv.
fUeut. Schwatka In St. Nicholas 1
It would seem very strange, and per
haps not rery pleasant, to my young
readers to hear a tallow candle or the shin
bone of a reindeer called candy. And
yet these things may really be considered
as Esquimau candy, because they would
delight the children of the cold in pre
cisely the way that a box of bonbons
would delight you.
Therg is a certain kind of watei fowl in
arctic countries known as the dovekie.
It is about the size of a duck,
is quite black, has a prominent
white stripe on its wings, and its
web .ed feet are of a brilliant red. When
sitting in rows on the edge of greenish
rock these little red feet are very con
spicuous. Sometimes, when the men
have killed a number of dovekies, the
Esquimau women cut off the bright red
feet, draw out the bones, and, blowing
into the skins, distend them as much os
possible so as to form pouches. When
these pouches are thoroughly dried they
are filled with reindeer tallow, and the
bright red (packages, which I assure you
look much nicer than they taste, are
little Boreas’ candy. In very cold
weather the Ksquimau children eat great
quantities .of fat aud blubber; and this
fatty food, which seems to us so uninvit-
helps to keep them warm and well.
The only other kind of candy that the
Esquimau children have is the marrow
from the long leg or shin bone of the
slaughtered reindeer. Of this also they
are very fond. Whenever a reindeer is
killed and the meat has been stripped
from the bones of the legs these bones
are plat ed on the floor of the igloo and
cracked with a hatchet until the marrow
is exposed. The bones are then forced
apart with the hands and the marrow is
dug out of the ends with a long sharp,
and narrow spoon made from a walrus'
tusk. 1 have eaten this reindeer marrow
frozen and cooked, and after one be
comes accustomed to eating frozen meat
raw it is reallv an acceptable tidbit;
while cooked and nicely served it would
be a delicacy anywhere.
The latest Engines of Destruction.
(Brooklyn Kaffir-.)
Two Items of information on the same
subject, but from iwo different parts of
the world, merit a passing word. It is re
ported that experiments with a new Nor
denfelt mitrailleuse have been made in
Vienna. The new gun, which is the in
vention of M. Kous, carries with it an
unusual capacity of destruction The
other item of news comes from Marseilles,
and says that Turkey has ordered in that
town live new torpedo boats. The en
gine of each boat is to be of 500 horse
power, and two of the new Nordenfelts
are to lie on the captain's turrets.
Here we see two nations —Australia
and Turkey—arming themselves with the
latest, the most expensive and the most
destructive engines of destruction, and
these two engines are by Turkey to be
combiued. The torpedo, which is to de
stroy under the water or on the water, is
to carry on its turrets the new Norden
felts. And so human ingenuity, in its
latest development, is to be used, not for
human weal but for human woe
The late Lord Beaconsfield said that
Europe was “governed by sovereigns and
statesmen, " and the result is that some of
the richest resources of nations are made
a curse rather than a blessing. It is
questionable whether the peoples, if they
governed themselves, would make mat
ters worse. But what aggravates the evil
is that the millions spent on war and pre-
! taring for war is everywhere in autagon
sm to popular government and free in
stitutions.
A I'wp Into Nature’* laboratory.
irhnenixville Messenger.)
There is in the town of Phcenixville to
day an exemplification of the operations of
nature as displayed in the formation of
coal, where it can be found in actual
process of transformation from vegetable
matter to a soft soapy carbonic substance,
and the latter gradually changing to
lignite and then again into soft coal of
the bituminous form. Go along the
Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley railroad,
between the first passenger station of that
system and the new one. and you will
find a fored of men cutting down the
bank there eighteen or twenty feet high,
and amid those rocks, perhaps three feet
above the railroad track, you will ob
serve a black seam.
That black seam is a laboratory of
nature. 1 rom above, before the Morgau
house was removed and the surrounding
bank, big trees sent their roots down
through the soil and then through the
crevices of the rocks till they reached the
seam in question, which in time they
tilled with roots and fibres. The trees
above died and the rootsaaud fibres cou
fined in the seam began to work, chemical
change-took place, carbon was evolved,
and coal was the result. The laboratory
was opened by the building of the rail
road before the slow process was fully
completed, so that you can find rttere to
day the vegetable and carbonized matter
and lignite and coal altogether, proving,
indeed, that the popular thought that
coal grows is true.
A Too Particular House.
(Wall street News.]
A man from Indiana who went to
Chicago to buy a stock of groceries to
start business, had but little ready cash,
and was asked what security he could
give.
“Well, I did own a sawmill,” he re
plied.
“But you don't now?”
“No, it was sold on a mortgaga I did
have a farm ”
“Is that gone, too?”
“Yes, went on a mortgage. "
“Got a home?”
“That s gone with the rest, ”
“Any wild lands:"
“I had 1!)0 acres, but it’s gone. "
“Then you really have no security. ”
“Look a here, mister, “said the Hoosier,
as he straightened up, “after a man has
been used to doing a mortgaging business
for twenty-five years he can t change all
in a minute If a chattel mortgage on
this stock ain't security enough for you
I'll look around and find some house not
quite so particular. ” •

“Suppose,” said an examiner to a stu
dent in engineering, “you had built an
engine yourself, performed every part of

that it was in complete order, but, when

should look into the tank and ascertain if
there was any water to draw, ” replied the

Teachers’ Primary Work.
(Wisconsin Journal of Education.]
Primary work is discovered to have
many attractions. For in a school of
small children, government is easy and
accomplished mainly by gentle means.
There is, moreover, something very at
tractive to a bright and intelligent young
woman in the modern methods of teach
iug young children. She is to be en
tertaining. lively, fertile in new devices,
to win the love aud admiration of a com
pany of docile little children. Her work
is almost entirely confined to the school
room. There are no tiresome exercises to
brooked over out of the school hours, no
piles of dry examination papers to be read
on Saturdays and in the evenings.
In the intermediate and grammar
gTades, ou the other hand, there are in
tractable pupils to manage; the forces of
evil in the child are gathering strength,
and must be met with firmness, patience
and wisdom.
PMtonr’i Water Filter.

The porcelain filter exhibited at the
London international health exhibition
last year is an apparatus devised by the
laboratory directors of the celebrated Pas
teur, aud has the merits of great simplic
ity and of furnishing water absolutely
tree from any possibility of organic im
purity. Brie.iy, it consists of one
or more porcelain cylinders, set in
metal tubes two inches in diameter aud
twelve inches long, the whole inclosed in
a metallic case, which is attached to the
hydrant. The water enters the space be
tween the porcelain and metal tubes, and,
percolating through the former, drains
into an outlet pipe a water so pure as to
be used by Pasteur in bis experiments.

WOMEN WHO WORK
IN THE MARKET GARDENS OF THE
SUBURBS.
Qticago Gardeners Furnish Employment
to 1,000 Poles, Bohemians, and Ger
**“*»*—Physical and Mental Charac
teristics Hope of the Future.
(Chicago New*.]
t Every morning from the beginning of
seed time until frost comes and all the
green things droop their Letß3s and die,
ftilly 1,000 women go out to work in the
market gardens in the immediate vicinity
of Chicago, of these women are
aged, some in middle life, and a few are
still girls. The majority, however, are
wives who have husbands unqualified to
support their families, or. as is the case
so often among the ranks of ignorant
people, too dissolute or lazy to do so.
They are without exception "foreigners—
some Bohemians, some Foies, aud others
Germans. They have been reared in the
lfuid of their birth to farm labor, and
know scarcely anything else. Their
knowledge of housekeeping is limited, for
the houses they have lived iu from in
fancy have been but shelters little better
than these given to cattle, and their means
for home-making of the rudest kind,
j They can make a greasy soup of pork
and a bit of mutton or veal, prepare milk
porridge, or boil a pot of strong, coarse
cofiee. but there iheir skill in cookery
ends. They cannot so much as bake a
loaf of black bread They know, as a
nile, no more of the ordinary simple de
tails of housekeeping and home making
than does the squaw whose home is a tee
jee, or the gypsy who roams eight months
of the year about the country iu a covered
wagon. Many of them do not know how
to cleanse their garments. When they
indulge iu the process called "washing, ’
it is a mere wettihg that bears no resem
blance to the genuine removal of dirt. In
the winter time many of these women,
•specially the Foies, would, be glad dur
ing the long, cold months to do any kind
of rough housework, but know not how
it is done, •‘tan you not scrub the
.floor?" asked the writer of a Polish
woman iu midwinter, who stood in the
small, low, fireles- joom, and wrung
her hands in ndsery at the starvation
which had her and her two
little girls. “Scrub the floor, ” answered
she in her strong native gutterals. stretch
ing out her sinewy brown hands W’ith a
gesture of despair, “1 can do nothing but
dig in the earth and feed the pigs. ”
• This is the story r of seven-tenths of all
the women who work in the market gar
dens. The Bohemians, and especially the
Germans, are on the average more intelli
gent in their ideas of thrift than the Foies.
Those who have no avocation in the win
ter manage to lay a trifle by over and
above the payment of the debts* contracted
in the winter and the summer's expense,
with which, by dint of much pinching
and such assistance as they obtain from
the county, they maintain an existenre
through the* year. A few can 'sew, and
have learned the rudiments of tailor
work. These make pants during the
winter. All of them can knit, and the
stout, coarse, woolen hose reaching about
two thirds of the way to the knee, which
they wear when they coyer feet or ankles
with anything, are their qwu handiwork.
The young unmarried foreigners who
come to this country usually obtain do
mestic work and soon learn enough to
make their coudi'ion far better than it
ever could be in the old world. But the
woman who comes here with husband
and children, who has had opportunity to
learn only what the fields could teach, has
scarcely a brighter outlook in life than
she had at home. She goes earl}’ to her
work and remains till fi o clock. All day
long she is in the field, it matters not
whether the rain falls or the hot sun’s
rays 1 «at down upon her bead.
Sometimes three or four women
will make their way across the field
and back, aghin apdagain, on their knees,
pulling rp small weeds. They work thus
for hours without once lilting their
bodies from their cramped position They
will scarcely exchange a word mean
while. for ihey are not loquacious, i.ong
years c ; f exposure, hard labor, and want
have made them for the most part stupid,
taciiurt;, and stolid. Sometimes they use
the hoe, sometimes they sow seeds or put
small plants, that have lieen starter! under
glass, in the ground A portion of the
women clean and bunch the vegetables
read} for market.
IS one of them are beautiful or have the
slightest claim to grace or what is known
as “good looks. ” Without exception they
are square and ill shaped, and move with
heavy, lumbering motion. Their faces are
bronzed, and seamed with many lines.
Their eyes seidonVwear any expression,
not even that of sorrow, nor yet of expect
ancy. ior themselves they live almost in
the immediate present and neither hope
nor dread. Of so little feeling do the>
seem possessed that one is moved to won
der why they should have sought a life in
the new world no better apparently than
the one in the old. Should the question
be put to a dozen of these hard featured,
sullen-looking women, as they bend over
their work, if they were not quite as well
off at home as they are here, they will al
most with one accord, after they have
stared at the questioner steadily for a mo
ment, reply; “We may not be better off,
but bye aud-bye our children will. ” The
answer seldom varies.
The market gardens stretch to the
south, west aud north of the city. Cab
bage is grown extensively to the south
and southwestward, and its cultivation
gives employment to a large number of
women, l ettuce, radishes, onious, cu
cumbers, spinach, andive and celery com
prise the greater part of the garden crop
grown close to the city. The larger veg
etables are raised farther in the country.
Several crops of each of the smaller veg
etables are successively while sum
mer lasts. Ti. first crop of spinach, let
tuce and radishes are grown under glass,
spinach being put in in the autumn. Thus
some of the garden women here work the
entire year. These workers have been
thoroughly trained, and their services are
more valuable than those of an ordinary
field laborer.
