    MORAL AND RKLICIOUS.
Swrn lleiur.
When two young people love each
filler and marry, they restore thj pic
ture of tho apostolic church. Tbev arc
of one heart and of one soul. Neither
do they say that anything they possess
is their own, but thoy have all things
in common. Their mutual trust in each
other, their entire contldonco in each
other, drawn out all that Is best in both.
Love is tho angel who rolls away the
stono from the grave in which wo bury
our better nature, and it comes forth.
Love makes all things now; makes a now
heaven and a new earth ; makes all cares
light, all pain easy. It i 3 the ono en
chantment of human life which realizes
Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's pnlaco,
and turns the "Arabian Nights" into
mere prose by comparison. Before reel
society can come, true homes must
come. As in a sheltered nook in tho
midst of a great sea of ice, which rolls
down from the summit of Mount Blanc
is found a little green spot full cf ten
der flowers, so in the shelter of home,
in the warm atmosphere of household
love, spring up the pure affootions of
parent and child; father, mother, son,
daughter; of brothers and sisters.
Whatever makes this insecure, and
divorce frequent, makes of marriage not
a union for life, but an experiment
which may be tried as often as we
choose, and abandoned when wo like.
And this cuts up by the roots all the
dear affections of home ; loaves ehil- j
dren orphaned, destroys fatherly and
motherly love, and is a virtual dissolu
tion of society. I know the great difli- j
culties of this question, and how much
wisdom is required to solve it. But
whatever weakens the permanence of
marriage, tends to dissolve society; for
permanent homes are to tho social state
what the little cells are to the hotly.
They are the commencement of organic
life, the centers from which all organi
zation proceed".- Jam** Freeman Clark". ■

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
t'oilr for Moalrni Woiiint.
By order of tho saltan and in accord
ance with tho request of tho Hhcik-ul
fhliim tho ministry of police have pro
mulgated a code of rules for tho dross
and deportment of Moslem ladies in
Constantinople. They may wear tho
" teharshaf," a narrow veil, in unfre
quented streets and when paying visits,
but in public places and crowded
streets thoy must not appear without a
more secure protection for the face.
Tho police havo strict orders to report
any infringement of this regulation to
the minister of police, with tho name of
tho offender. Mussulman ladies are
also forbidden to drive or walk round
tho places of Bayazid, Hhahznde-Baslii
and Aserni. Nor will they in future be
allowed to promenade in tho Great
Bazar, or to sit down in shops. If
thoso rules are infringed tho drivers of
the carriages they have used and the
ladies themselves will be proceeded
against under article 204 of tho penal
code. The police have also received
orders on no account to permit ladies to
gather together in groups in public
places; and ladies thus transgressing
will bo directed to "move on." When
a police cfficer finds it necessary to in
terfere in this way he is to address tho
oldest lady in the group, or the servants
in attendance, at hi# discretion. Tho
regulations further prescribe the de
meanor to bo observed by men toward
ladies in public. Any man who speaks
to u woman, 6r makes signs to her, will
be punished under ar'.;i!c 102 of the
criminal code.
A \\ rddlnu A t,rr All.
The Cleveland Leader reports a com
cdv in real life which look place in
Erie, Penn. The heroine was a bnxom
young woman, whoso husband died a
year ago. When she had worn her
weeds six months the wonhl-le hero of
the play came a-wooing, and his atten
tions not being distasteful to the widow
sho consented to marry him in twelve
months and a day from the date of her
first husband's death. The happy day
come at last, and the ceremony was to
take place at the bride's house. A mag
nificent wedding feast was prepared, and
about sixty guests were invited. The
hour apivointod for tho marriage was C
P. M. In tho forenoon the bridegroom
elect went off to invite a few friends in
the country, who had been forgotten.
The afternoon mail brought a postal
card from him, stating that he had con
scientious scruples about marrying a
woman >o recently widowed. lie wonld
make it a matter of prayer, and would
abide tho reanlt of his feeling* when
through. She was not to take this as a
positive declination to marry, but if he
did not arrive at 6 o'clock p. m, she
might consider the marriage "off." The
widow did not faint, nor go into hyster
ica, bat donned her wedding attire and
welcomed her guests with a smiling
face. At 6 o'clock all tho guests were
there, and with them, of course, the
minister; bnt no bridegroom had ap
peared. With unruffled countenance
the expectant bride "called the meeting
to order," and read aloud the recreant
lover's card. When the storm of sur
prise and denunciation had snlmhled sho
added " Bat that noedn't spoil the din
ner," and thereupon the guests fell to
banqnetinj, none more heartily than
the mistress of the house herself. When
the tablo was cleared dancing t>egan,
and an elderly twchelor led tho German
with the disappointed (?) bride. He bo
came so enamored of her that within an
hour ho proposed; ho <rasaccepted, the
minister was recalled; and at 11 p. u.
the wedding took place, with the new
bridegroom. But scarcely had the bri
dal kiss been bestowed when in rnshod
the too-consciections lover, who, after a
protracted season of prayer, had con
cluded to come Iwck and wed. He was
jast in time to congratulate tho bride,
not his now, bnt another's, and then
hastily stole away, resolved within to
stifle conscience ere he sought another
bride.

Too llot.
A writer in the Portland Trantrripl
gives the following laughable descrip
tion of the trouble a toad got himself
into by not taking caro what he ate.
He -wallowed a wasp thinking no
donbt that it was a large hut defense
less fly.
The realization of his mistako came
when the wasp began pricking his in
ternal organs, as a guilty conscience
pricks a sinner.
The toad stood on his hind legs and
reached frantically down his throat after
that wasp. Failing to dislodge it ho
turned three somersaults in a manner
that would have rivaled the boss tum
bler in a circus.
Then he stood up and exclaimed
" Woo-oodnc I Woo-oodno I" which was
supposed to b© c call for a stomach
pump or a quick emetic.
He then made several efforts to stand
on bis head, but was unsuccessful.
Next he puffod out his sides until he
looked like a baseball with legs to it.
Inflation didn't hit the cate, and was
soon abandoned.
Again he reached down his throat, but
bis arm was too short to reach the spot
where the wasp was operating.
His head began to swim, and he
whspped over on his back and clawed
the air like a man overboard. The
wasp was evidently unable to oontinne
his infliction of punishment, and the
toad began to feel better.
He got npon his feet and with a fore
foot examined hia ribs npon either aide.
Finding tbem all in place, he stretched
himself to his utmost height two or
three times to see if bis legs were in
working order, and then hopped a hop
or two to make assurance sure.
Being satisfied that he was all there,
he gave a croak of relief and hopped
under the tomato vines. "
"If yon grasp a rattlesnake firmly

As a cure for a nail run into tho foot,
take froth beet, thoroughly pounded,
and apply to tlu part frequently.
To cure toothache put a piece of cot
ton dipped in collodion, into tho
tooth. When hardened it will odhero
strongly and stop tho pain.
Tho following is said to bo a valuable
remedy for rheumatism: Pool off tho
outside hark of the alder, scrape off tho
green bark that is under it, and stow in
lard until it is crisp. This is a most
valuable salve in cases of burnH, sores,
etc.
A felon can be cured by putting on a
blister of Spanish flies, as large as a five

the surface. Then prick with u needle,
and then poultice with bread and milk
for three hours; afterward dross with
castor oil.
It is seldom that bleeding at the nose
is serious, but cases occur in which it
continues so long as to cause anxictv
aud render it desirable that something
should bo done. Instead of bending
forward and lowering the head, as per
sons with nose-bleed are so apt to do,
an upright position should be assumed,
with the head thrown back and the
bands raised above the head. Ice may
be applied to tho nose and to the back
of tho nock, and if tho bleeding still
persists, ice water or a solution ofalnm
may be thrown into tho nose with a
syringe. If further measures prove
necessary, they shonld be le ft to tne
physician.

Twenty-eight people spent a night
and a day in a corn field above Itich

a lie d of peas, and when the flames got
into this tho jmrty were pelted for
hours with hot peas, which were shelled
by the fire. Wet ulankets, constant
vigilance and the standing corn saved
the peoplo; but in other localities
where persona sought the same refnge
they were smothered and burned.
A seven-mile ride for life under OK<M
extraordinary circumstance* was tl{p ex
perience of a farmer near ForreeMr.
He gathered fifteen persona in his

started, so close that the dresses of
some of the women and children were
on fire from the spark*. It wan seven
miles of nphill and dowr, with corduroy,
rnts and roots, and the horses needed
no whip to nrge them into a mad run*
A* the wagon started the tire of a hind

Washington Red Tape.
There is annually issued by the de
partments at Washington about .'IOO
j miles of red tape. If thia were atrotched
ont in a straight line it wonid reach from
Waxhington to New Haven, Ot., on the
north, or from Washington to Wilming
l ton, N. 0, on the south. Using Wash
: ington as a pivotal point, and moving
the tape around, the ends would touch
the greet lakes and pass through the
Btstaa of Coanecticnt, New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Kentnoky, Tennessee
and North Carolina. Or, to mako an
other illustration, from the interior de
partment to the navy department is
abont one-half a mile. The tape would
go around these departments 300 times,
and bind tbem closer and more securely
than ever Indian and tar were bound
before. To go into details: The treasury
deportment alone require* 2H8,000 yard*
of red tape, and is eiosety followed by
the interior department with 129,000
yards. Following come the navy, with

Gorman journals speak of a remark
able young American by the name of
Richard M. Jackson, a native of Ohio
who has bcoome s favorite of the king
of Wurtemberg. Ho first studied music
at the Stuttgart conservatory, and
later became attached to the Ger
man consulate. He it described as tall
and handsome, with a blonde mustache,
brown hair and dark eyes. He became
acquainted with the king in the gardens
attached to the palaoo, and it is said
that he took care to meet the sovereign
accidentally every day, and then always
behaved with such rospectfol admira
tion as first attracted the monarch's at
tentionand then won his favor. Jack
son was offered the position of reader
to the king, with a salary of $1,500 and
a suite of five rooms in one of the royal
buildings, and accepted it upon the con
dition that in renouncing his atlegianoe
to the United States he should not
assume obligations to receive orders
from any person exoept the king him
self. The young man is aaid now to
have the king's confidence in a high de
gree, and often to be his sole companion
on travels and walks, being treated
rather as a friend and equal than as a
subject in receipt of wages. Jackson
received the decoration of the Frau
Joaei order from the emperor of Ana
tria. The aid courtiers are jealous, but
the young man seems able to take oare

HC'IESTIFIC HC'RAPH.
Hie oork tree in fit to be l>arkcd
when it is twenty-six JNM old, and it
is then harked every eight year*. The
qnality of the bark improve*) with the
increasing age of the tree,
Dr. K, von Fritach, of Halle, nays that
the cause of earthquakes does not exist
farther down from the surface of the
c?arth than ten or fourteen miles. After
citing a number of instance* to show
bow far the shock of a steam hammer or
that prodnced by an explosive may be
felt, he appears convinced that rather
feeble forces produce earthquakes which
make themselves vcrv sensibly apparent
at great distances from the active cen
ter. He says that earthquakes might be
and must be produced by the increase
and decrease of volume of rocks under
the influence of physical and cbcmieal
forces, and by concussion by the open
ing of creviceH in rocks, and by the sub
sidence of masses of rock due to thesu
agencies. Many schists are subjected
to extension stress, and when crevices
occur the schists must enter into oscil
lations like those produced in tuning,
plates.
A patent has recently been taken out
for a means of steering a ship by elec
tricity. The apparatus is the invention
of Mr. W. F. King, an Kdinbnrgh elec
trician, and was recently triod on boatd
a steamer sailing between Glasgow and
London. Its object is to dispense with
a helmsman and make the <x>mpaaa
itself steer the ship. For this purpose
the compass card is fitted with an in
dex which is set to the true course, and
one degree on either aide of the true
course two metal contact pin* arc ad
justed ; each pin is connected to a
single Daniel cell, and when the ship
deviates as much as a degree from her
course to one side or the ether the in
dex comes into contact with one or
other metal pin. The result is that a
positive or negative current lows and
actuates a hydraulic apparatus which
works the helm.
A very remarkable discovery, aays the
Enjintving, was lately made of fossil
remains of the iguanodon in the coal
mine of Bernisart, not far from Peru
wclz and Conde, near the Belgian-
French frontier. Messrs. Dupont,
Oosselet andiron Dechen state that the
coal measures there are 101 meters be
low the surface of the earth, and under
a cover of cretaceous strata belonging
to the Turanian section. These coal
measures, instead of having an equal
surface, are furrowed out by valleys of
unknown depth, mid of a width of 200
meters. In oneftf these valleys, 322
meters from tbumrface, the iguanodon
remains were jfund. There seems to
be abundanUsridr-ncc that the valley
was only M, branch of the Hainaut,
which wa#slowly filling np during the
cretaceotP period—that it was once
traversed by a stream filled with abun
dance ot flsli. and which afforded an
ample supply of food for these huge
ssnrUas that were from thirty to forty
feet in length. It is not to be inferred
ho"ver, that thoe iguanodons were
liwing at th> same time as the coal
wart formed. M. Dupont ap*
•pears to be connived that it is simply
owing to the exceptional configuration
of these coal measures of Herniaart
that the remains of the reptiles were
seen side by side with the seams of
coal. The real period of the animals
was that of the Wealden clay.
