A Heroic Deed,

OF KTK".T-DXT-tirK.
A few month) ngo the country was
thrilled with tho account of a girl who at
tho risk of her life, when tho whirling flood
of the swollen rivers was wrssllng great
bridges from their foundations, skipped
nloug tho ties of a western railway, lantern
In hand, and saved ft train from certain at
struotlon. Tho fttnto of Iowa awarded bar
n sultahlo medal for her bravery. In this
Instance It was a child who saved tho lives
of many adults, but as a rule, tho ltfo df
tho child Is In tho hands of older pcrtons.
In November, 1833, a little elght-ycnr.
old son of Punish parents was suffering
with dlpthcrla. Tho attack was not severd,
but ho lid not seem to rally after the throat
appeared perfectly well. Nausea, head
ache and low fever succeeded tho soro
throat, and two or thrco days afterwards
his limbs began to swell mysteriously. The
skin becamo very dry, vomiting was fre
quent, nosebleed was persistent, and
nothing would stay In his stomach. "It
was evident to our minds," says Mrs.
Thomas Schmidt, wlfo of the vice-council
of Denmark, residing at Ncthcrwood, N.
J., "that some mysterious malady was
Working ruin In his system. Our physician
said he had the tcrrlblo brlght's disease.
To our suggestion that a certain prepara
tion bo tried, ho made no objection. W
gavo him six doses a day, two teaspoonfuty
at a dose, In sweetened water. It remain
ed upon his stomach, nnd within a week
thero was marked Improvement. Tho bow
els becamo regular without tho use of
cathartics, and tho nausea diminished j In
thrco weeks tbcro was a subsidence of the
dropsy, and by tho middle of May the limbs
were perfectly normal. He had a good np.
petite, and could take three pints of milk
dally. By tho first of May ho was up, and
though ho had spent six months In bed, ho
did not feel particularly weak. In Juno he
was out, feeling perfectly well, and in July
ho weighed eight pounds moro than ho did
beforo ho was taken sick. To-day there Is
only a slight unfavorable condition in his
Bvstcm, and tho physicians say wo have
every reason to bcllevo the child will be
perfectly well."
-Mrs. Schmidt Is certainly to be conzratu
lated on tho good results which followed
tho use of Warner's safe cure, and she saysi
"We feci bound to make this truly won-
derful result known, nnd are perfectly will-
ing to have this letter published." Gratl.
fylng ns Is tho result wrought, It is by no
means singular, for thousands of children,
who seemed weak and puny, have had
their entire nature changed and their future
ossured by a prompt use of tho same pre
paration. Such disorders are transmitted
by Inheritance, or arise from children's cpl
dcmlo diseases, tho evil effects of which
often provo fatal In later life. Tho secret
of the Ill-health of many children is that
their kidney? and liver aro not performing
their natural work.
It was a bravo feat of tho brave girl who
crossed the swollen stream on the bridge to
savo the lives of the passengers ; but it Is a
bravtr deed, and one worthy of wider rec
ognition which, seeing the perils, awaiting
childhood, freo from prejudice, with
purposo only to savo by any effective
means, preserves to us tho lives of our
children.
Everything witnu.. jiis tho individual
that he is nothing; everything within
persuades him that he is everything.

Describing the work on a largo tunnel
in Pennsylvania, a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Timet gives this account oi
the manner in which the work is
pushed :
'"Inside tho tunnel a bustling scene is
presented. Tho racket and rumble of
tho drills, tho hurry nnd Hurry of labor,
tuo shouts of tho engineers giving
instructions to tho men, tho yells of tho
car-drivers to the mules moving
mysteriously with their loads through
tho dark, tho flickering of wandering
lights, tho censclosa drip of water from
tho cold roof abovo and tho possibility
of rocks falling down upon one at any
moment, make up on experience novel.
indcod, to tile uninitiated. One set of
men work from 0 o'clock in tho morning
until 0 in the ovouiug, nnd are then
relieved by another Bot, who work all
night until 0 in tho morning. Not n
moment is lost. Everything is hurriod
forward. Workman havo no chnuco to
dally, for timo is eminently money in
making n tunnel. Men get killed or
laid up, but tho work goes right on.
Large masses of rook sometimes crum
bio from the roof and come crashing
down, somotimos killing a man or two,
sometimes not. Lately, owing to tho
tliawlugof frost-bound rocks and to tho
spring rains, uueideiils of this kind havo
boon unusually frequent.
All tho latest improved machinery is
used. A mammoth steam shovel is
operated in loading trucks with earth
and rocks. This tunnel is to have
double track. No coal or oro of any
kind has yet boen stiuck in tho tunuol,
notwithstanding Tusuaroni Mountain
and tho neighboring mountains were
believed to contain hematite. Tho
rocks cut out of the tunnel are nil of
slato formation, with an occasional
admixture, of limestone nml soapstone.
These rocks nro piled up in vast banks
short distnnco from tho portals of the
tunnel. Tho masses of slato, diversely
tinted, plucod sido by sido, dark blue,
gray, red, brown nnd Huge green, form
to tho cyo n pretty contrast of color.
About COO men lire employed pu this
tunuol nnd about tho sumo number on
each of tho other largo tunnels in tho
neighborhood. Every man wears
rubbor boots for protection against tho
water, which collects On tln floor of tho
tunnel. An average man wears out
fifteen or twonty pairs of boots in a year.
Tho majority of tho men aro newly.
imported Italians mid Hungarians.

Tho situation of tho hotel where I nra
topping is especially charming. It is
built over tho water, so that the soa
actually passes under the rooms. Thero
is a long gloss-enclosed balcony looking
seaward, from whioh one never tiros of
surveying tho blue Mediterranean bo
om! and below. Thero is always
ariety in the movements of the sen.
Now its wash is so geutlo and soothing
that it is tho most offeotive of lullabies
,vhon ono wishes to go to sleep. Again,
thoBea is in an uproar, aud tho spray
leaps up to the very windows. Tho
illusion that wo aro at sea is quite hard
to shako off at timos. The llsh havo
learned to watch for the refuse tliat is
committed to tho 30a from tho hotel
galleries, nnd aro consequently vory
tamo. Portly looking fellows, a foot
two long, come right under tho
balcony aud staro impertinently nt us.
The temptation is Btrong to make them
atone for their great temerity, aud not a
fow of them havo boon hauled up with
rodand lino to tho broad vjrauda. Ono
day somobody got up moro enthusiasm
than usual nud cist a torpedo from tho
balcony into o bchoolof cvtjutsito imv

A rOUTHAIT OP CLIiOI'ATltA.
What is claimed to bo a genuine por
trait of Cleopatra, niadu to the order
of the Emperor Augustus by 1m
favorite artist Tiuioaiakas, after the
queen hod destroyod herself with tha
asp, is in tho possession of Baron do
Benneval, French nobleman. Cleo.
patra is represented lifo sizo from the
waibt up, wearing thp crown of tho
Ptolomys, jewel iu her ears nud on her
nook, and braeolets on her arms similar
to those found by Schlieniun in tho
tomb of Helen of Troy. A red or pur-
pie mantlo, ktiotted on each shoulder,
covers tho right breast, leaving her left
bieast expohed, nnd abovo this her hand
reals, holding tho fatal serpent. Three
Hinall wounds denote whuro it has bit'
ten, aud it is hown to bo on the point
of biting ngaiu. The pupils of her
eye, so darkly bluo as to bo nearly
black aro so lifted as to bo partially
hidden, aud tho tears are visible on hor
heoks. Her noso is Grecian, her head
small, her figure full. Her mouth is
half open, her tongue pressed ngalnst
her teeth, with an expression in hor
face (full view) of sorrow and pain. Her
blonde hair, looboly knotted, falls over
her bosom, aud is covered, like tho eye
brows, witli golden powilir. Her arms
and hands aro exquisitely shaped. Tho
portrait is excelloully preserved, but it
is not tunny as beautiful as Cleopatra-
greatly Idealized by timo and poetry I

impulsions oi' a .sitictni:.
Not many days ago it student (in
Paris) still in his teens, having lovod too
well, but not wisely, roiolvod, in his
despair, to kill hlmscli. Being of n
literary and rather romantic turn of
mind, tho foolish youth, nfter writing a
letter to his parents, asking their par
don for tho grief ho was about to oauso
them, dotormincd to leave behind him
his " impressions " as tho poison ho had
swallowed took effect Ho absorbed
the poison in an American grog at a
Parisian cafe. Then withdrawing to a
privato room of tho establishment ho
took up a pen to jot down his impress
ions. "I am going to die, ran this
strange document, tho beginning of
which was written in a firm hand
writing, tho concluding sentences boing
almost illegiblo, for tho, writer was in
his death agony. " Am I afraid? No,
want to die, though a bright future
was in store for mo. But I loved. It
is good to love, but it is also fatal."
After these reflections tho unfortuuato
lad began to suffer intolerable agony,
which he depicted iu disjointed phrases.
Tho poison "burnt his throat, his chost,
his heart" Ho could no longer note
down his impressions, Ho had but life
left lo write tho last words, "Au rcvoir,
adieu," and all was over. Two hours
later his bereaved parents claimed the
remains of this poor silly lad, who
sacriflced his life because ins boyish
passions was unrequited by tho object
of it
ItAl'IDlTY OF THOUGHT.
Prof. Donders, of Utrecht, recently
inado some interesting experiments iu
regard to tho rapidity of thought. By
means of two instruments, which hu
calls tho noematachogrnph aud tho
noernatachomctcr, ho promises some
interesting and important results. For
tho present, ho writes that a xiiigle idoa
requires tho brain to act .007 of a
second for its elaboratiou. Doubtless
tho timo required is not the same for
nil brains, and that, by moans of those
instruments, wo may obtain dellmto
indications rotative to tho mental
calibre of our friends. What in valuable
instruments thoy would bi for nominat
ing caucuses lor omcere, lor trustees oi
colleges, for merchants in want of book
keepers, for manufacturers needing
machiuists--lin short, for all having
appointments ot any kind to make.
For an eyo to receive an impression
requires .077 of a second, and fur the
oar to appreciate n sound, ,14'J of a
socond aro necessary. Tho eye, there
fore, acts with nearly double the rapidity
of tho ear.

Galvanized iron water tanks must
not be employed on board of Frouoh
men-of-war. Dr. Vonable, in ft paper
read beforo tho American Chemical
Society, has shown that water jiasscd
through 200 yards of galvanizod iron
pipe took up 4.30 grains of zlno car
bonate per gallon.
The Prussian Diet has been asked for
grants for tho extension and comple
tion of tho network of State railroads to
tho extent of CO, 700, 000 marks. Of this
sum 40,481,000 marks aro roqnircd for
thej construction of 14 now lines of a
total length of !S3" miles, aud tho
bnlanco is needed for tho completion of
existing railroads.
Ono of tho latest specimens of tho
work of the Messrs. Henry of tho Paris
Observatory is a lino photograph of tho
cluster in Perseus, showing stain down
to tho thirteenth magnitude. The
ncgativo was obtained in 00 minutes
with a 0.3-incli object glass of 83-inch
focal length ; it has been enlarged four
times, nnd reproduced by holio en
graving. Balfour Stewart nnd William Lnnt
Carpenter havo made a preliminary
comparison between the dates of oyclo
nio storms in Oreat Britain and those
of magnetic disturbances at tho Kew
Observatory. Finding that in HO cases
compared 23 presented a distinct mag
netic disturliauco preceding tho storm,
for tho most part, by somewhat moro
than a day, tho Investigators conse
quently intended to pursue tho subject
exhaustively.
At n meeting of tho Gcograpliical So
ciety of Paris, M. Schnuler read n paper
on tho masses ol snow moved nliotit by
tho wind among the mountains. Thoso
masses nro not moved about by ohanco
thoy obey very simple laws which causo
them .to bo doposited nt spots where tho
wind is diminished in intensity, nnd
gavo them forms which may bo easily
nnalyized if the quality of tho snow,
tho forco and direction of tho wind, and
tho contour of the mountain bo taken
into account.
M. Gaston Trouvo is said to havo
constructed a portablo electric glow
lamp, intended for uso whero thero
is an explosive atmosphere Tho lamp
is intended to bo for service in mines,
celluloso factories, flour mills, spinning
mills, etc. It is automatic in action,
and it is stated to bo very simplo in
construction. Thero aro two varieties
of the lamp mado ; ono of which will
only light itself whon taken up iu tho
hand ; tho other when it is hung up or
put down. The current is producod by
a battery contained iu tho lamp.
Admiral F. S. Trcmlctt writes that on
tho sculptured dolmins of tho Depart
ment of Forbihan, France, about 80
sculptures had been found, invariably
2a L
on tho interior surfaces of the capstones
eir snpports. It is remarkablo
that they aro confined within u distnnco
of about 13 miles, aud aro situated near
tho sea coast, boyond which, nlthougl:
tno megaliths are numerous, thoro is a
complete absence of sculptures. Tho
sculptures vary iu intricacy, from sim
ple wavo line3 nnd cup markings to
some that havo been compared to the
tattooing of tho Now Zealanders.
Mr. Woodall, speaking at tho Wedg
wood Institute, Stoke-on-Trent, l'u,
land, said that there was n levelling
process in many tilings relating to in
uustry going on all over lairope. Tho
long hours of Continental workmen
wero boing reduced, nnd their wages
wero being raised ; their diet was stead
ily becoming moro generous, while tho
cost of animal food had increased in
tho same degree as in Great Uritaiii.
Tho competition of the future would
consequently bo n matter of skill, and
tho race would bo won by tho country
which devoted itself most intelligently
to tho cultivation of its people, and os
pecially of its youth.
Dr. A. T. Ilochebruuo has written an
interesting paper on tho Hot tricerot and
tho method of preventing epizootic peri
pneumonia practiced by tho Moors, and
Fellahs of Senogambia. Tho variety of
domestic ox peculiar to Senegambia
;s characterized by a third horn growing
from tho nasal process and identical in
its constitution and development with
tho two frontnl horns. Its origin
uncertain, but tho variety is thoroughly
established. Epizootio peripneumonia
is very prevalent in the country, and
from time immemorial this animal has
been subjected to preventive innoculation
with tho virus by tho natives.
Prof. Ivison Macadam has completed
a comparison of tho chemical composi
tion of some samples of Scottish ensilage
witli that of forugo grasses. The result
has shown that tho oil or ether extract
and the ath wcro lugher in tho ensilago,
wiiile the albuminous compounds wero
lower. It seemed that during tho pro
cess of converting grass into ensilago
thero was a decomposition of tho
albuminoids, which led to the loss of
feeding power and tho formation of
ummonia. ,,'Iho feeding power of tho
ensilago was impaired nud, according to
Ills calculations, tho flesh-forming power
was only about tlueo-llfths that
meadow hay.
A HI.ACIC t'.YLCL'I..VTION,
It has been calculated by Sir Henry
ISessenier that tho out-put of coal for
the single year XS81 15 1,000,000 tons-
would Hiihico to build ilfty-flvo great
pyramids, or to rebuild tho great wall
of China and to ndd a quarter to its
length. In 183:1 tho out-put was 103,
600,000 tons, which would form a col
limn a milo square nud nearly 104 feet
high; or would build a wall from Lou
don to r-diuburgh, -100 miles long an
4.1 foet 1) inches high and thick ; or
around tho world, 21,000 miles long nud
5 feet 11 inches high and thick ; or, if
the Straits of Dover aro 21 miles across
and COO foot deop, would make an om
baukmeut across them 23 yards wtdo
while tho total output for the 30 years,
1851-'83, would build a round column
feot i 1 inches, iu diameter, which would
reach 210,000 miles high, the dibtauco of
tho moon.
