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

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. My wife sewed the piece in again;
and I have worn it for many a year."

CURKI) nv FAITIIJALONK.
A Dllll bury Doctor'* Ruse to Make H
Dumb Woman Resume Talking.
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.
