SOME STKAXOE ANTIPATHIES. Remarkable Instances by Way of Ill ustration —A Dog at a Feast. It seems absolutely incredible that I'eter the Great, the father of the Rus sian navy, shduld shudder at the sight ot water, whether running or still, yet so it was, espesially when alone. His palace gardens, beautiful as they were, he never entered, because the river Mosera flowed through them. llis coachman had orders to avoid all roads which led past streams,and if compelled to pass a brook or bridge the great em peror would sit with closed wiudows in a cold perspiration. Another monarch, James 1., the English Solomon, as he liked to be called,bad many antipathies, chiefly tobacco, ling and pork. He nev er overcame liis inability to look with composure at a drawn sword, and it is said that ou one occasion, when giving the accolade, the king turned his face aside, nearly wounding the new-made knight. Henry 111, of France, had so great a dislike to cats that he fainted at the sight of one. Wesupiose that in this case the cat had to waive its proverbial prerogative and could not look nt a king. This will seem as absurd as ex traordinary to lady lovers of that much petted animal ; but what are we to say of the Countess of I.amballe, of unhap py history, to whom a violet was a thing of horror ? Even this is not without its precedent, for it is 011 rec ord that Vincent, the painter, was seized with vertigo and swooned at the smell of roses. Scaliger states that one of his relations waslmade ill at the sight of a lily, and he himself would turn pale at the sight of water cresses and could never drink milk. Charles King sley, naturalist as he was to the core, had a great horror of spideia, and in "Glaucus," after saying that every one seems to have his antipathic animal, continues: "I know one (himself) bred from his childhood to zoology by land ami sea, and bold in asserting and hon est in feeling that all without exception is beautiful, who yet cannot, after handling and pelting and examining, all day loug, every uncouth and vtnomous beast, avoid a paroxysm of horror at the sight of the common house spider." The writer shares to this dislike to a painful extent: in this case it is inherit ed from his grandfather. The geuial author of the "Turkish Spy" says that he would far prefer, sword 111 hand, to face a lion 111 his deseit lair than to have a spider crawl over him in the Uaik. The cat, as we have previously an nounced, has repeatedly been an objtct of aversion. The Duke of Shomberg, though a redoubtable soldier, would not sit in the same room with a cat. A courier of the Emperor Ferdinand car ried this dislike so far as to bleed at the nose on hearing a cat mew. A well known officer of her majesty's army, who has proven his strength and cour age in more than one campaign, turns pale at the sight of a cat. On one oc casion, when asked out to dinner, his host, who was rather skeptical as to the reality of this feeling, concealed a cat in an ottoman in the diuing room. Dinner was uiinouuced and commenced, but his guest was evidently ill at ease, and at length declared his inability t-> go on eaiiug, as he was sure there was a cat in the room. An appaiently thorough but unavailing search was made, but his visitor was so completely upset that 'the host, with many apolo gies for his exieriment,"let the cat out of the bag" and out of the ottoman at the same time. Lord Lauderdale, on the other hand, declared that the mew ing of a cat was to him sweeter than any music, while he had the greatest dislike to the flute and the bagpipe. In this latter aversion he was by no means singular. Dogs, too, have come in for their share of dislike. De Musset cordially detested them. When a candidate for the academy he called upon a prominent member. At the gate of the chateau a dirty, ugly dog received him most af fectionately and insisted on preceeding him into the drawing room, De Musset cursing his friend's predilection for the brute. The academician entered and they adjourned to the dining room, the dog at their heels. Seizing his oppor tunity the dog placed his muddy paws upon the spotless cloth aud carried off a bonne bouche. "The wretch wants shooting !" was De Musset's muttered thought, but ht politely said : "You aie fond of dogs, I see 4 Fond of dogs ?" retorted the acade mician ; "1 bate them !" "But this animal here," queried De Musset; "1 have only tolerated it be cause I thought it was yours, sir." "Mine 1" exclaimed the poet, "the thought that it was yours alone kept me from killing him !" CasseVs Fam ily Magazine. Manna, the Heavenly Hread. Mr. Cole, of Bitlis, a missionary of the American Board, in Eastern Tur key, in describing a journey from liar poot to Bitlis says : 4 We traveled for four days through a region where had fallen a remarkable deposit of heavenly bread,as the natives sometimes call it—manna. Tnere were extensive forests of scrubby oaks, and most of the deposit was on the leaves Thousauds of the poor peasants, men, women, and children, were out upon the plains gathering the sweet sub stance. Some of tbem plunge into ket tles of boiliug water the newly cut branches of the oaks, which washes off the deposit until the water becomes to sweet as to remind the Yankee of a veritable sugaring off in the old Granite State as he takes sips of it. Other com panies of natives may be seen vigorous ly beating with slicks the branches, that, from haying been spread on the ground, have so dried that the glister - ing crystals fall readily upon the carpet spread to receive them. The crystals are separated from the pieces of leayes by a sieve,and then the mauna is pressed into cakes for use. The manna is in great demand among these Oriental Christians. As we were traveling through a rather dry region, the article came in play for our plain repasts WHICH DO YOU RELIEVE? Hot It Shies of au Absorbing Contro versy Clearly Stated. According to "Scribner's Statistical Atlas of the Census of isso," there was not a single death from kidney disease in the entire United States from 1870 to 1880 1 But can this be possible V If we ait to believe the articles of one of our best advertisers, kidney disease,and diseases arising from kidney derangements, is actually responsible for the majority of deaths 1 Why, then, such a discrepancy V Fortunately for these people their statements are confirmed. The suspicion is nourished by them, and we confess with good reason, that because the medical profession is not able to cure extreme kidney disorders, the profession ofllcialiy disguises from the public the fact of their prevalence ; meanwhile its journals are tilled with regrets at this prevalence and the im- IHitencv of the profession to treat it suc cessfully. Why is the public misled V These advertisers shrewdly say it is because the profession, if it concludes what they claim that kidney disease is universal, fears that the people will de sert the powerless doctors and use the advertised preparation ! We do uot know but they are right ! But what should the people do ? Do ? Read the evidence and guide themselves accoidingly ! The advertisers claim to have cured hundreds of thousands of cases or Blight's disease and all lesser forms of kidney, liver and blood derangements. Thej offer $5,000 for proof that their statements of cures, in every quarter of the globe, are not true, so far as they know. These statements are from prominent men and women alt oyer the world, aud the closest scrutiuy is in vited ! If a physician cures a man and lie knows it and says it, people believe him. If Warner's safe cure cures a man and he knows it aud sajs it over his own signature, it is just as conclu sive evideuce in the latter case as in the former. A few years ago, after having broken down prejudice in England. Canada, the United states, Australia, India and China, the owners of this great remedy applied for the privilege of its manufacture and sale in Germany. The laws of that great country are very stringent, aim nothing can be rnanu tactured or sold until it wins permis sion from the government, and this will not be granted out I 1 the govern ment is satisfied that the best interests of the public and its individuals will'be served by such a preparation. The medicine was chemically and microscopically analyzed (as accurately as iossible) the formula; were examined (with pei haps a secret prejudice against them,) by the government chemists, searching inquiry was everywhere made at home and abroad to verify its past record and reputation. Finally it was triumphant even under the most ciilicul examination, and full permis sion was given to nuke and sell War ner's sale cure HI the Fatherland—the only life privilege of the kind ever granted to any American proprietary preparation. Unprejudiced people will say that this favorable consideration of the merits of Warner's safe cure by tlie German govei ument was a very signifi cant as well as very distinguished com pliment to its merits, and so it is. The evidence is all in favor of these intelligent advertisers, who have cer tainly won universal public approval, because of their straight forwaid course in proclaiming the merits of their remedies. An Extinct Volcano In Connecticut. The recent discovery of the remains of a volcano near Mount Lamentation, the highest peak in the chain of . Mer iden hills, has excited the keenest in terest in ecientific ciicles. It has fur nished a new key to the geological history of the Connecticut valley. The discovery was by Prof. W. N. Davis, of Harvard University. He has be*n engaged in making an exhaustive study of ttie trap rock of this State, and lie made his happy discovery of volcanic ruin while searching for an entirely different class of geological phenomena. MouDt Lamentation has been visited by large numbers of people during the past few weeks. The various scientific associations of the State, and several geologists of national repute have care fully examined theinlerestingcuriosity No volcanic cone or crater is still visible, but the phenomena of the place clearly indicate that in the Triassic age violent explosive eruptions of a regulai volcanic type were frtquent. Geologists have long known that the trap rock of the Connecticut valley came up in a molton condition and afterward solid ified. This liquid mass sometimes solidified in fissures in tin earth and sometimes overflowed the surface like lava streams, and was subsequently coyered up by slratal of sandstone. Prof. Davis has discovered what is technically known as an ash bed. It is a deposit formed when molten lava is thrown high into the air by violent explosions and comes down in a con fused mass, coarse and One In the Triassic period, when these eruptions occured, there must have been legular cones and craters of the usual type, but these have all been effaced. It is very prot able that other ash beds exist in the range of Meriden hills. The geolog ical history of this region has always afforded a rich field for scientific research, and the recent volcanic dis covery has given a greater scientific boom to it— Boston Globe. TIIE INTERMARRIAGE OF COUSINS. —The Legislatureof Illinois has passed a law making the intermarriage of cousins a penal offense. This is an un wise law, first because it interferes un duly with personal rights, and next be cause it is Dot sailed for. The mar rigae of cousins who are each of healthy family and physique, and especially if they are different of temperaments, is quite free from danger.— Med. Record. Ail Unparalleled Migration. English Sparrows were first imported into this country at Brooklyn, New York, in iB6O. They did not thrive, and two years later another colony was imported. They multiplied and spread, until in 1870, the Sparrow was diffused pretty generally through the Eastern States, the race being increased by im portations at several sea ports in 1868 and several following years. Since then these nirds have multiplied marvelous ly, and have extended widely, until they ure the pest of all our country east of the Mississippi, and of a wide area beyond that river. It "goes West" steadily, and leaping over intervening regions beyond the ninety-seventh de gree of longitude,finds first a habitation in Utah, and then passing to the Ta ctile, is met with in and around San Francisco. No such migration lias ever been known in the world's history, aud the bird thrives in its new condi tions, equally well in the delta of the Mississippi,.or among the hills of New England. Everywhere it is prolific, and rears its live or six broods a year with the most reckless disregard of conse quences. The Sparrow is at home any where. lie reached New Brunswick and Montreal by a tramp ride in box cars, and had 110 sooner arrived than he set up his household gods, and be gan his fearful mission of propagation and diffusion. In iB6O the English Sparrow in.America occupied the area of a single'tree or tree box. Now he disports himself over au urea of eight hundred and eighty-live thousand square miles in lite United States, and of a hundred and lifty thousand in Can ada. The English Sparrow is an enemy of our native songsters and drives them away ; he is the foe of the gardener and fruit-grower, because he expels the in sectivorous birds.and then solaces him self with the young plants, the buds and the fruit; lie is destructive to the grape crop.and a rapacious feeder there upon. In ten days Sparrows in Aus tralia robbed a single vineyard of three thousand pounds of grapes. This bird is an enemy to the grain growth, and destroys the grain in the milk, as well as eats and wastes it in the ripened head. He detilesbuildings and destroys the vines that cling to them. He is not a destroyer of insects. These bold ly festoon the haunts of the Sparrow with webs, and fasten their cocoons to them. At first he had the reputation of destroying caterpillars, and the measuring worm But now our Ciesar feeds ou more toothsome meat. The State Entomologist of New Ycrk has proven by observation, that the cater pillar thrives where the Sparrow most abounds, and the same conclusion is reached by more than one English ento mologist. The loss from Sparrows in Eng'and is put at four million dollars a year. In Australia the loss is greater and in the United States it passes com putation.— American Agriculturist for December. Married in Ills llat. It was the Germ m's turn to relateh Is marriage experience,a ceremony which occured in the Black Forest. "I was read v." lie began, "mv bride looked r< sv and beautiful in ler wedding gar ments, and I had doffed the greeo forester's jacket for a splendid black coat of broiHeioth and my soft felt hat for a higli silk one. We drove in a closed carriage to church, and on the road I was getting up from my seat to open the window, forgetting that I am over six feet high. My tall hat came with a tremendous* crash against the roof of the carriage and in a second all was dark —the hat had gone down over my face, and my whole head stuck tightly in it. I pulled and shouted.and screamed and groaned. The bride, weeping and terrified, assisted with all her power. We got out and got the driver to assist. It was all in vain;the hat stuck fast. At the church door our friends nad each a pull; but the clergy man arrived, and the hat still held me in bondage. 'I can not mairy you with out seeing your face,' he shouted through the hat into my ear, and after one long desperate struggle I decided to make an end of it. 'Takea sharp knife,' I shouted to a friend, 'and cut a hole around my face into the hat, but see that you do it well, for I cat; not allow this expensive hat to be spoiled.' The hole was cut,the clergyman saw that I was the right man, and I was married with the hat over ray face. Afterwards when I got cooler, I managed to get out of ic.

A reliable physician in Danbury re lated a remarkable case of curing u wo man who had been unable to utter a syllable in two years. She had been treated by a number of doctors for loss of voice, but to no purpose. This phy sician satisfied himself that there was no disease of the organ or any derange ment. lie concluded that she could apeak if only she would be iulluenced to exert the will power. From a conver sation witii Iter carried ou in writing he discovered that she had great faitli in miraculous cures and thought she could be relieved only in some such way. lie found to that she was suuer stitiou.s He concluded to try the effect of a little muntuieiy on Iter. Accordingly, one morning when visiting litr lie sat down by a table and leaned Ids head down upon hid hands for some live minutes without speaking, as if in wrupt meditation. He euddeuly jump ed up and told I lie woman that he was now right, tiiat he was going to cure her on a certain day. He then gave her minute directions in respect to it, He told that ou that day lie should come to the house at 10 a. m.; that he should tlrst give three raps upon the window, and then lie should go to the front door and give two raps ; that when the door opened he would be found standing with both hands upon the door-post and his head leauing up on them ; that the door to her room must be opened wide.and that lie would walk in w iih measured tread, and when he got to her bedside he should sav : 'Good-morning, doctor.' On the ap pointed day lie did just as he said lie should, und when he said 'g>od-uiorn ing' to Iter, she promptly made the re ply ; 'Good morning, doctor,' In loud, strong voice. She seemed utter ly astonished herself, but said she felt that what the doctor said would be true and tiimly believed that ho had wrought a uniade iu her cure. EGOS IN WlNTEß.— Scarcity of eggs in the winter season, especially among farmers, is due less to tlie scarcity of fowls through the country than to the want of proper cure of these already on our premises. In spite of the directions calculated to remedy this state of tilings constantly set forth in poultry publications and in almost every other journal in the country—for agriculture and poultry raising connected with it are ordinary us staple topics in the newspaper as politics and general news —a great many people persist in follow ing in the footsteps of their predeces sors, and allow their hens to forage as they can among the grass seed on the barn floor, the few oats that they can steal from the horse's manger, and if the swine give consent, whatever tid bits can be collected around the pig's trough. Occasionally a few handfuls of corn, grudgingly bestowed, are scat tered among them, and the owner, with an aggrieved air wonders ' why the hens don't lay." THIS treatment of the poor biddies is worse than that the Eg)l)tians gave the enslaved Israelites, for they did furnish the clay for the "tale of bricks" Ihev demanded though they compelled them to collect the straw whenever tliev could find it. Hut we demand our quota of eggs, though we furnish nothing whatever for the manufacture. The few edibles the fowls pick up as detailed above are sim ply sufiicient to keep the breath of life within them, and nothing is left to go toward the production of eggs.
