RESORTS.
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.

Teddy and the Wolf,
RV TV DOR JKXKS.
The doctor had said. '.Now, Mr. Row
land. 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

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!

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.
A wasp is a six-legged bird that lives
mostly in trees and under the eves of
barns, and you canuot taim him; he is too
busy. 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.*.

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.

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

with common tar. then filled with
shaving- aud lired, it will resist rust for au
indefinite period, rendering future paiut

for this result is that the coal tar is l.teral

and rendering it rust proof.
