Ptick sajs: "The white man who drives a coal cart has to resort to soap and water, just as does u who has spent the day in whitewashing." But the most strange things of all are us ually resorted to when a iu«n gets sick. Of course lie doesn't want a doctor—at least not at first, lie usually goes to the so-called saloon and uets a drink, which makes him feel rather dazed, so he takes another and I comes home temporarily elated, supposing j himself cured. When he wakes next morning, with a headache twice as bad as ever, and feeling feverish and cross, he coucludes he will have i to try something else. lie takes a dose or whatever he happens to have in the house— souie liver renovator, kidncv evaporator, or heart enlarcer —and nets forth saying if he isn't better to morrow he will scud lor the doctor. Next morning he is sick in bed; the doctor is called, thakes his head, prescribe* two or three kinds o! medicine, according to his medical creed, but always insists upon per- ; !ect quiet, and that the patient niu»t not go i to his office lor two weeks, or the result will be serious. He does in truth lie in bed for a week or ten days, his recovery retarded by a multi tude of remedies, and the knowledge that his business is going to ruin m his absence. When he does drag out at last, he finds that that the family must deny themselves every thing but the common necessities of life for some time to come, in order that the doctor's bills uiay be paid, and repairs made in the business. Now. the proper thing for this mail to have done was to have bought a bottle of New Style, Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bitters, the moment he felt the first headache, and to have taken tv.o at once. Two or three half doses,two days apart, after the first dose had taken effect, would have cured him and prevented his illness, and his consequent financial loss. The man did not know this, or, as Beecher would have said, his foresight was not so good as his hindsight. Another time this man will know just what to do to save pain, time and money.

I will be frank with you. I'nless you get away from the city, aud stay away. I will not answer for the conse quences."' Of course there could be no hesitation after that, and Mr. Rowland, Mrs. Row land and Teddy packed up their keepsakes, sold everything else, and transferred them selves to Rartonville. Here the breadwinner of the family bought a slender stock of goods aud open ed a small store. "Vou will see how I shall prosper," he said to his wife. "My city experience will give me a great advantage over the other tradesmen. 1 shall be more busi inc-ss-like. and if yon and little Teddy will only thrive as well as I shall make my trade thrive, wc will not regret the stifling city!" So far as Mrs. Rowland was concerned, there was nothing to complain about. After two months iu the new home she had grown rosy and bright; as rosy and pretty as Teddy himself, and he was by far the finest five-year-old in town —even his father admitted it. liut alas! for the thriving trade. Mr. Rowland had put all his .money into tbe hoes aud rakes, axes and brooms, which stood looking so dean and trim before the door. The}- stood bravely to their posts, and equally faithful were the rolls and boxes indoors. Rut hardly a strange foot crossed the threshold to mar the freshly sanded floor; only a few villagers from curiosity strayed aimlessly in and out again, to make their purchases elsewhere. Many, in welcoming the new comer, had reminded him that "competition was the life of trade," but he was beginning to think sadly enough that it was also the death of trade, at least in some cases. The rent, the butcher, the baker, the can dlestick-maker, bad taken the few dollars saved "to get a start." Mrs. Rowland darned and criss-crossed Teddy's red stock ings into ridges and lumps; she had turned and "fixed" her new dresses until she felt that her worried little brain needed turn ing and darning, too. But their money was gone, and the thriving trade had not begun. Mr. Rowland'tried to be hopeful, but his set lips grew into a grim hardness, aud he talked less and less of his prospects as the future became more and more un certain. Teddy found no fault. He admired his well-mended stockings, und pitied those who lacked the picturesque variety of contrasted patches. Soon after the sun was well above the hills, Teddy's bread and milk made its daily visit to his bowl, and Teddy never thought of asking awk ward questions iu the case of either mystery. One morning the discouraged store keeper went to the bank to draw bis last small balance. "Going to close your account?" asked Mr. Prentice, the president, who always was particular to speak to his customers. "For a time, only. I hope," replied Mr. Rowland, bravely, counting the few small bits of paper with thoughts far away from any considerations of arithm<-tie. "You must not withdraw your patron age," said the president, as he turned and turned and walked back into his cosy of fice. Mr. Rowland was unusually silent dur ing tbe evening, and even forgot to tell Teddy his regular story before putting him to bed. The little boy noticed his father's depression, and kept very quiet. When his mother began to look meaningly at the clock, Teddy came and said good night, and went to bed without a word of objection. "'Poor boy! he must be tired out, said Mrs. Rowland when she returned to the room. Then she sat down to do her stock ing-basket. But Teddy was not tired; he was think ing. He was wandering what troubled his father. Teddy did not mean to lie awake, much less to listen to the conver sation between his father and mother. The door was ajar, and he could not help noticing that the usual reading aloud was omitted; nor could he fail to hear a word or two now and then. What he heard convinced him that he was right in think ing his lather out of sorts and worried, and also made him sure that he knew what the trouble was. He heard his father sa\ - iug: "So you see, Anna, there's no need for me to go to the store. I might just as well be here with you; at least I could be at work iu the garden, and then there would be something done toward keeping the wolf from the door." Teddy heard no more, for he fell fast asleep. But when he awoke next morn ing his mind was made up, and soon after his plans were matured. "Are you going to the store?" he asked his father with some surprise, when the good-bye kiss was given. "Yes, Teddy; somebody may come in, and I must be there replied the father, as he trudged slowly down the gravel walk. Teddy watched him anxiously aud then turned brisklv toward the house. The first thing to do was to get his bow gun. He did not remember where he had put it, but that did not disquiet him—he would ask his mother. Mamma, where is my gun?" asked Teddy in perfect confidence. "Where did you leave it?" asked his mother, a little absent-mindedly. Teddy leaned up against the kitchen table with one small finger in his mouth, aud tried to think. But he hadn't an idea. At length Mrs. Rowland said: "You were playing African huuter yes terday, and borrowed your father's big boots. Go and find the boots, aud per haps you may find the guu, too." "Teddy cHmbed the attic stairs, two steps to each stair, and was so impressed by his mother's suggestion, that he almost resolved to consult so clever a mother about the terrible wolf. But Teddy was accustomed to rely upou himself, ana had so often been told to try his own powers before seeking help, that he concluded to keep his own counsel. Now that he had the gun, he sought the next thing needed plan. This was something that had not occurred to him until just as he was parting his hair that morning, on the third trial, for Teddy lik ed "the little paf to the top of the head" very straight indeed. Mamma, can I go and get somethiug from Papa's workshop ?" he asked, when he came back to the kitchen. '•! won't hurt myself a bit, and T don't want tell you what it is!" "Yes, Teddy," said Mrs. Rowland, hard ly noticing the strange request,—she was thiuking of the wolf, too !" Away went the sturdy, small cross-bow inau through the thick grass, takiug the shortest cut. Presently he returned, car rying with him a small steel-trap. After scouting a little, Teddy satisfied himself that the coast was clear, and dragged the trap around to the front door. He felt sure that that this must be the door his father meant, for it was almost always BUTLER, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1881) closed and bolted. He placed the trap | cleverly enough before the door, but by a j trifling oversight forgot or did not know j enough to set it. Then Teddy retired to! an ambush, a thick evergreen, strung hi- | bow with a care that would not have been ' discreditable to Deny* kimself. nid wait I ed all comers. About half an hour afterward Mr. Pren- ] tice. walking leisurely down to the bank. J like a man who could afford to take hi> i time, caught sight of a golden curly head in Mr. Rowland's front yard. He stopped, for he was fond of Teddy, and often paused to say a word to him. Teddy thought Mr. Prentice the greatest man iu the world—next to his own father. So. when the banker rubbed the little curls with his gold-headed stick. and said. "Hullo, Curly head! Are you too proud to pass the time of day with a friend this morning?" Teddy rose from behind the tree, tip-toed close to the fence, and re plied almost in a whisper, "Good-moru ing. Mr. Prentice. Please teep twiet, and go away, please, as twick as you can!" Somewhat surprised and alarmed, the baulicr asked, "Is your mother sick, Te.ldyf" "No, Sir. She's well; but she's afraid!" "Afraid? Afraid of what? Where is your father? Anything wrong?"' Mr. Prentice had children of his own, and wild visions of contagious diseases, ac cidents and disasters were jumbled in his brain. "Papa's gone to the store. I guess he was afraid, too," said Teddy, sagaciously. "What is it, Teddy?" said the hanker, sternly. "It's a wolf!" replied Teddy, in a mere whisper, looking uneasily around and wishing for the first time that Mr. Pren tice would stop talking to him and not in terfere with his plans. "A widf !" said Mr. Prentice, first look ing blank and then laughing heartily, "no wolves for hundred of miles around. Someone has been making fuu of yon. "^ "Yes. there are! There's one wolf any way," said the boy, with a nod of wisdom. • What makes you think so?" asked Mr. Prentice, for he was one of those who think it not an unwise precaution to find out what children inea*i before laughing at them. Teddy was pleased by the respectful tone, and felt a wish to be polite in turn. So, trusting that the enemy would be kind enough to defer the attack for a few moments, he told his grown up friend how he had heard "Papa tell Mama that he didn't know how he was going to keep the wolf from coming in at that door!" "And," continued Teddy, "I got the wolf out of my Noah's Ark, so that I could tell him when he came, and I got the twap out for him, and my gun. Papa's got to be down at the store, so's if anybody should come there. And Mama can't fight, 'cause she's a girl, atul there's no body at home but me—unless you will stay?" Teddy glanced at the face above him, as if even his brave heart would not disdain a companion iu arms. "My gun hurts, too!" he resumed with pride (for the banker had not said a word in reply). "Want to see?" and he offered to denoustrate its effectiveness against his friend's leg. Mr. Prentice looked toward the door of the house. There lay the trap half hidden under a spray of evergreen. Then be picked up the brave little huntsman and gave him a kiss, put him down softly, and walked away without a word. His bauds were clasped behind him and he was thinking something about " —and thy neighbor as thyself." Teddy went back to his post, but he was puzzled, and his singleness of purpose was gone. During the day, Mr. Prentice sp ike to Mr. Dust an, one of the directors of the bonk. "Seen what a nice store it is, that Mr. Row land has/ He's a new comer. You ought to give him a little of your cus tom now and then; he's one of our depos itors, you know, and one good turn de serves another ? Really, Dustan, he's got a nice family, and you'd oblige me if you could favor him with an order now aud then." Mr. Dustan said he would —of course he wonld. Time he changed, anyhow; the other tradesmen were becoming careless, competition was a good thing! Then they talked about banking matters. Mr. Prentice managed to say another word to another friend that same after noon; aud to .vet another the next morn ing. and he did not forget to take care that his suggestions should bear fruit. The result was very bad for the wolf. Teddy did'tsee him. In fact, after din ner, Teddy forgot all about the animal, for one of the older boys came along aud took the hunter out fishing. Mr. Rowland was at first much surprised at the suddeu tide of custom and prosperi ty. Many came, and finding "the new man" civil and obliging, accurate and punctual, they came again. Some weeks later Mr. Rowland said to his wife, with an air of some profundity: "Anna, my dear, patieuce is sure to tell in the long run. I came very near to giving up in despair, but, you see, the darkest hour was just before the dawn. There is nothing like a bold front to scare the wolfe from the door." Mrs. Rowland looked lovingly at her husbaud and thought him a very clever man. Rut Teddy was sleeping the sleep of the just, and as for Mr. Prentice, he never told the story of their little wolf-hunt. The "Harrison Grip." A strange malady that appears to be ep idemic is prevailing in Newburg. New York. Everybody there is talking about the disease, and at the present time it is esti mated that two thousand Newburg people have the "Harrison grip." One physician has seventy cases, another sixty-eight, one fifty-two, and others are run to death with patients affected. The premonitory symptoms of the dis ease are lassitude, pains in the back and side, alternating chills and hot flashes, etc. Children principally are affected, although when adults are attacked the illness is much more severe aud prolonged, though as yet no case have proved fatal. No cause can be assigned for the exist ence of the disease, although many think it the result of prolonged wet weather and the bad condition of the water in Washing ton Lake, from which the water supply of Newburg comes. The fear of the phys icians is that the disease may assume a more aggravated form later iu the season, and result in a general spread of typhoid malaria. The disease has heen variously termed pleurisy, muscular rheumatism aud malaria, but the term "Harrison grip" has now "caught on" and is in general use. A similar epidemic prevßiled in that part of the State in 1842. during the term of office of President Tyler, aud it was then called the "Tyler grip." A large number of eases have occurred w here per sons were stricken with this peculiar dis ease on the street, reeling aud falling be fore assistance could be rendered, and then they were powerless to walk to tlicir homes. So far as ascertained no other town along the Hudson river is similarly afflicted. A Monster Globe. From London Engineering. Among the many specially interesting I things to sec at the Paris Exhibition is th< ! model of the earth, constructed with thi utmost accuracy to the scale of -. no milli metre per kilometre—that is t ■ <ay. one millionth of the natural size: and this is carried out in design and executed with consummate skill, whether regarded from a scientific, from an artistic, or from a me chanical point of view. The construction of an accurate model of the earth oue-millionth of its natural size has not been done without encounter ing many difficulties. It meant the build ing np of a sphere the diameter of which is very nearly forty-two English feet, aud painting on it all the details of the surface of the earth, followed by its erection under a domed building in such a way that every portion of its surface can be ersily seen and examined. OF TUF. GLOBE. The built upon a framework or skeleton of wrought iron, forming a num ber of meridiaual ribs attached at the poles to a certral vertical axis or shaft. The ontside surface of these meridians is cover ed with wood, to which are fixed the pan els upon which the geographical surface i painted. The panels are formed of sheets of a special kind of hand-made mill board ; of the requisite spherical curvature, and are covered with a hard coatiug of plaster. The spherical surface is divided into forty segments, each of nine degrees of longitude and these are each made up of ten tapering bands or panels, the width of the equator ial band being exactly one metre along its horizontal center line; there are. therefore. 400 of these panels of different sizes, and the geographical painting upon them was done before they were fixed in their places, which was effected in such a manner as to facilitate their removal and replacement w hen the globe is taken away at the close of the exhibition. LANDING NKAR THE POLE. The building which surrounds the globe is a twelve-sided iron and glass structure, surmounted by a dome, the globe being supported from below on a vertical axis. The building is entered by a lift, which lands visitors on a platform near the top. somewhere opposite the latitude of Spitz beigen, but the polar regions may be examined by passing over the north pole by means of three light iron semi-bridges or stairways, uniting radically at the cen tre immediately over the axis. Except at the part opposite the door of the lift the platform is not level, but is so constructed as to form a spiral gallery descending by an almost imperceptible slope until it reaches the ground after making a number of turns; thus every portion of the earth's surface can be minutely examined, and, moreover, as the globe is capable of being turned on its axis with the greatest ease, the whole circumference of any parallel of latitude may he looked at without the ob server changing his position, and so per fect is the centering and balancing of the globe that although it weighs nearly 13 tons a boy can with the greatest ease rotate it by means of a handwheel attached by bevel and intermediate gearing to the south polar end of the axis. FIXE CARTOGRAPHY. The execution of the cartographical por tion of the work is extremely beautiful,and it must be remembered that the surface is of such a size (no less than 525 square feet) that very considerable detail can be well shown upon it. Not only are the forms of countries and the contours of large dis tricts easy to be depicted, but even cities may have their general form and size drawn to scale and some of the principal thoroughfares represented. For example, the city of Paris on this globe is very near ly a centimetre long, aud occupies a space large enough for the Siene, and even the exhibition, to be fairly marked, as well as some of the principal streets and buildings. Thus the actual porportions between the areas of great cities and those of conti nents, oceans, aud the earth itself are for the first time accurately shown, and, as everyone is fairly familiar with the size of the city in which he lives, he is enabled by this model to form a tolerably accurate es timate of dimensions of the great divisions of the earth. Perhaps the most striking illustration of this, and proving the great value of the model as an educational object, is the fact that not only ure the dimensions of the seas and continents altogether different from the meutal estimate one is accustom ed to make, but their very positions seem to take one by surprise. This is easily ac counted for by the fact that the maps iu an atlas lire all necessarily ol' the same size, their scales being chosen so as to reduce each eouutry or continent to the dimensions suitable for the size of the plates. OCT OF SIGHT OF LAND Again, it is customary to place a continent in the middle of the map, the ocean being represented only by a very small portion to the right or left of it,as the case may he, and few people have any clear conception, for example, of how very small or how very far north Europe is, how far north is the Indian Peninsula, or how for south are Australia, New Zealand and Cape Horn. The great globe at Paris, however, reveals these things at a glance. When the ob server is at a level considerably above equatorial regions of Africa, Europe ts al together invisible. It is rouud the corner, or, as sailors would say, "hull down," aud India aud eveu Ceylon are lar above the level of the eye. Australia aud New Zea land. on the other hand, are invisible southward, the steamer routes leaving Colombo aud Guiles on the north pass di agonally over the apparently boundless ocean, and disappear over, or rather under the rotundity of the water to the southeast. Rut by far the most surprising fact that is clearly illustrated by this superb work is the enormous size of the Pacific ocean. The eye of the observer may have a con siderable range of position north and south and east aud west of its central region, aud yet see no land iu any direction, the whole globe seen from points within this area be ing only of water, with here and there groups of small islands sprinkled, as it were, over its surface. Numbers of steam er-routes are seen to come from nowhere and end in nothing, and one has to walk through considerable arc of the circle be fore laud appears on either side. MOUNTAINS AND OCEANS. The whole mountain is painted iu oil paint, tbe mountains being shaded so as to give the appearances of relief, but when it is remembered that the highest moun tains on the earth (say those of 27.000 feet) would on the model be raised only about 5-16 of an inch above its surface, it will be seen that au attempt to represent the mountains in relief would have beeu au ab surdity. For a similar reason the flatteu ofciXhe earth at the poles is not taken notice ofyfr the model, for on the 40-foot globe the difference between the two diame ters would be less than seven-eighths of an inch. The coloring of the ocean is made to represent its various degrees of depth. Thus the shallower portions—those under 1,000 fathoms —around shores and islands are colored pale blue, between 1,000 and :?.000 fathoms a d.irker -hade, becoming darker in five stages, until the great o. ?an depths exceeding 4,500 fathom are reach ed. which are painted very dark blue. Acros- the sea are drawn np..:i the glol»e the great steamer route-, the i •• i-tiug w sels festooning between p.>rt ami port, while the ocean routes sweep a:ound the globe from continent to continent in their apparently endless tracks, the French routes being colored red. the liriti-h routes being colored blue, while those of other Nations, when finished, will be rcjuc-eiit ed by yellow lines. The lines of tele graph communication, whether overland or sea. are gilt. It is an interesting fact that if the model were rotated at the same angular velocity as that of the diurnal rotation of the earth its surface motion would hardly be visible, for a point at the equator, where the .-ur face speed is greatest, would move at the rate of only half a millimetre per second, or about an inch a minute. Haw Pond's Goings and Comings lluw I'oud is about seventeen miles east of Cordele, and is perhaps one of the most wonderful natural curiosities in Georgia. It is situated in a low place, with bills on j every side sloping down to it. Indeed, it is down hilll for miles in going to the pond from any direction. Just at this time ev ery year the water gradually goes down a few feet. Then there i> a ru>h of water, a tremendous roar, and within a few min utes every drop of water disappears. This has happened for years, and it has never been known to prove a disappointment to those who go to witness the disappearance. On June 13. about a dozen Cordelians left here for the pond. They carried fishing tackle in abundance, and spent a day and night catching any number of the finest specimens of the finny tribe. They met about fifty others who had gathered at the pond to fish and wait for the water to di appear. Where the fishermen dropped their lines to the depth of ten feet Thur da\ night, there was scarcely a drop of water Saturday morning. In a day the water had disappeared completely. For miles around the ground is said to be un stable and liable to sink. Only a few weeks ago the bottom dropped out. and now only the tops of trees can be seen above ground. Every year large creeds from the surrounding country gather' to witness the disappearance, and this year there were about one hundred and fifty people there. In the fall, when there is rain in abundance, and the streams are full of water Haw Pond fills up aud waits for the springtime, when it disap pears again.— Athintu Constitution. The Boy on the Wasp.

Never stroke his fur the wrong way, because it makes him mad, and when a wasp is mad I don't want nnthin' to do with him. lie has what they call a "sting er," and when he goes out a stingering boys must keep away from him. 1 leaned up again one once when he was busy, and 1 jumped much as a feet; ma hud to put a mud pie on the place. I hit a wasp's nest with a stone once, and the boss wasp chast me clean acost the lot so fast that when I got over the fence 1 tore my pants; then pa whipped me until I wished 1 had left the old wasp sting me. Some say wasps make honey, but it their honey is as hot as their stingerin' I don't want none. Pa says the stingerin' aint so bad at "first as the rekollekshuu of of it for a few days. He ought to know, cos me and my brother Ike got on the roof and poked a big nest down from the peek into the barnyard while pa was milk in'.—Albany Pres.*. A bout a Man. A reasonable uiau is one who accepts the situation until he can get a better place. The man who canuot sing should not be made to sing. He will only distress the balance of the congregation. The remarkble fact has been discovered that a man full of spirits is never given to sober reflection. A prize fighter has some of the traits of a highwayman—he makes his victim "hold up his hands." —The man who can't drive but will is an infernal nuisance every day of the year. Every man has his chain and his clog, only it is looser and tighter to one man than to another. What a man is pleased to call clean prof it is oftentimes the proceeds of a dirty bar gain. It has been well said the man who bor rows money gets on very well if he borrows no trouble with it. The man who has plenty of grapes around his house may be said to have a vine place. Every man has his role in life, especial ly the man who tries to ride the bucking mule at a circus. Phthisis from House Sweeping. The Mnncetirr Medicinisrhe If orhrti sckri/t, No. 308, reports that Carnet has experimented with the dust obtained from the walls and floors of various dwellings in which tubercular patients have beeu, inoculating guinea pigs withr it, and care fully excluding all possibility of infection from outside sources. In this way. twen ty-one rooms of sewn Berlin hospitals were examined, aud bacilli found to have beeu present iu the dust from most of them. Positive results were also obtained with the dust from insane asylums aud penitentiaries. The dwellings of fifty-three tubercular patients were in the same way, and the dust in the neighborhood of twenty patients found to be virulent. It was the case, with absolute regularity, that the dust was always viruleut when the patient had been iu the habit of spit ting on the floor, or iu a handkerchief, while it was never so when a spit cup had been employed. How He Got a Verdict. It was a law suit over the possession of a two-dollar pig, and the jury had been out near])" two hours. The Texas Judge was weary and impatient. "Bailiff," he said, "the jurymen are doubtless tired of their close confinement 1 in that small room, and would like a ; change. Remove them into the large I room on the east side of the building." The room on the east side commanded a | view of a refreshment bazaar across the | street, iu front of which was a large sign , inscribed: RATTLESNAKE BILL S OPENING.

VTith the hands of the spectator- -till <>r. these false ribs, the latter were ;ria.V. illy allowed to recede, and apparently te'.c scoped tip behind the true ribs. At the reque t of Mr. King. the city edi tor put a hand on each -'..le «>f the nejrro'.- chest. and was surprised to lind a distine' impulse or thud on each -ide, ju~t below the nipple, as though two hearts were beating agaihst the ribs. Nest the negro, after a ort of eonvul-it>ij of the abdominal muscles, protruded a violently throbbing internal object down below bis rib# on bis left ride; then allowing this to recede to it.- piace, ho pulled down what h" called his other he-art. which could be seen nnd felt pulsating low down on the right -ide. With one hum! on this pulsating 1:1.1-- and the other on the left breast, both heart.- could In' felt distinctly beatiag. Here it was thought advisable to call in a physician to explain the phenomenon. V messenger was sent out. and soon returned with l»r. Chevalier Q. Jackson. The doc tor proceeded to make ;x thorough exami nation. and soon reported the results sub stantially as follows: The man has two distinct hearts, con nected only by the large blood vessels and probably a very elastic pericardium 1! • i has the power of h oving these two hearts independently, and can place them one at , a time down in hi- groins, where tiny can i be seen and felt pulsating. He can stop i one or both from beating for a period of a I minute and probably longer, if I would let , him. The stopping of cither heart stops the pul.sebeat on the com -ponding side. If both hearts are stopped no pulsation can be detected over the heart, at the wrist, temples, nor anywhere else in the body. The left'heart is the larger, being as big as a cocoanut. which is a large heart for tbi^ sirnl man. The right heart is smaller • —about as big as a goose egg. When one i heart is down in the flank, and the other in its natural place, the two organs are sepa rated about 14 inches. As they lie ordi narily in the chest, they are about two or or three inches apart. His pulsation i- about normal: but he has a murmur in his right heart which may be from drinking. He has an alcoholic pulse, and probably if he don't give up whisky he will turn up some fine morning on the dissecting table. He will be worth more dead than living—that is, worth more financially, for any anatomist will give SIO,OOO for his body. As to the phenom enon of stopping his heart, that i.- not au absolutely new thing; there have been three similar cases known to science; one who. after stopping his heart for exhibition, failed to get it going again, and died in consequence. None of the three i ase.- I refer to could stop their hearts for a- great a length of time as this man. I have warned him to be careful, for he already has a murmur in his right heart, and with his alcoholic habit it will be no surprise to me to hear of him some day not being able to start his heart after stopping «t. The most peculiar thing about it is the fact that each heart appears to be complete and to furnish blood each to its own side of the body. In some specie- of the lower animals there are two distinct hearts, but in them the right side sends blood to the lungs and the left side to the general <ir culation through the whole body. As to his second set of rib-, they seem to be there, but the great thickness and rigidity of his muscles makes a positive examina tion impossible; certain it is. however, he has some sort of bony formation which he has the power to bring down so as to cover his bowels and his entire belly, so as to make his trunk resemble a bony barrel. 1 will make a more thorough examination of him when I have more time. He is cer tainly the ouly man living who lias any of the peculiar qualities that he lias shown me. llr. King is about .» feet - inches in height, of herculean build, w ith gigantic biceps. He has traveled from one end of the earth to the other exhibiting his pe culiar attributes to the medical profession. He is at present boarding near the south end of the Panhandle tunnel. He says ho is 72 years old. though he does not look it by 'M years, lie claims to lie able to bend a three-quarter inch iron bar across his left arm; and to feel his arm no one would doubt it. Physicians everywhere are in tensely interested in his case. Heart Failure. The Aiiwriciia Anuhj.it thinks it would be an excellent idea if the physicians of the present day would invent some other rea r-on for about all the deaths which occur nowadays than that of heart failure. It is difficult for any one conversant with the or gans of the human body to understand how any human being can die without heart failure, while the causes of the failure of the heart at death may be very numerous. This might not be of serious moment were it not for the fact that hundreds of people are being nearly frightened to death by the constant use of the cause for sudden deaths, and many people who are sick, and necessarily have some heart symptoms, are kept in constant terror by reading or hearing in other ways of death after death by heart failure. It would be well if phy sieians who are too indolent or tooignorant to search out the disease lying back of the heart failure to consider how much harm they are doing the community, and ii they cannot correct the habit, newspapers and the public should avoid giving currency to this unfounded and dangerous phra-t There arc probably no more death- from heart failure in these times than heretofore. • but a new cause for death has been coined, j aud the nervous and timid are being -c verely injured by it. —A correspondent writing to the .Irfi an gives a simple plan of preventing sln-< t iron stacks from rusting.

The theory by which he accounts for this result is that the coal tar is l.teral ly burned into the iron, closing the pore and rendering it rust proof. NO Xi S::non Sli i t's Son Samuel.
