Music and Health.

Music, If we are historians, has produced some Very exttaordhpry effects 3-htf L|r(!fpess of Achilles waakllayed By “play on the harp; Damon, with the sama'instruquoted wild .and \dfunked youths; and Asclepiades in % plmUar manner brought back seditions multi-, tfidas to,tempei* and reason. TOe Ooryimaies and effeminate k>riesaffof Cybele were incited by music to.sftt their own flesh. Pindar addressed bis harp thus: “Thou quenchest the raging thunder.” Music is also reported to have been efficacious in removing dangerous diseases. Mirandola observes, In explanation of Its being appropriated to such an end, that music moves the spirits to act upon the soul as medicine does the soul by the body. Theophrastus, In his essay on “Enthusiasm,” rapports many cures upon this principle. The Thebans used the pipe for the cure of many disorders, and Zenocrates is said to have cured several madmen. The bite of the tarantula Is said to have been cured by music, and the Phrygian pipe was recommended by many of the ancient fathers as an antidote to sciatica. We could enumerate many other Instances of the estimation, amounting as it would seem to palpable superstition, In which music was held among the ancients, but the above may be considered sufficient.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION

The average walking pace of a healthy man or woman Is said to be seventy-five steps a minnte. Great Britain has a longer seacoast line than any other nation in Europe. It measures 2,755 miles, with Italy second, 2,472 miles. Russia ranks third and France fourth. At the Stockholm Exhibition a firm of candle-manufacturers as their exhibit bad an Immense stearine candle eighty feet high and over eight feet thick. It was carried by a brick structure representing a candlestick. The brick was slivered with aluminum bronze powder. A model candle factory was Installed in the candlestick. The driving of a bicycle at ten miles an hour has been ascertained to require about one twenty-third of a horse-power. An expert rider for a short time may exert one-third of a horse-power. For rapid work, not scorching, one-seventh horse-power Is needed. These figures are the result of a scientific investigation. Professor Michelson, of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, has Invented a new form of spectroscope, made by building up steps of equal thickness of optical glass. With twenty elements, five millimetres thick the resolving power is one hundred thousand, or about that of the best diffraction gratings. It is equally good for the examination of single lines, and the study of the effects of broadening the shifting or doubling of the lines. According to the “undulatory theory,” which is now generally accepted, light is the vibration, or undulatory motion, produced by a luminous body in an elastic, weightless, everywhere present medium called ether. These waves travel at the rate of 186,000 miles a second. Those producing blue and violet are shorter than those that make yellow and red. Of the former there are about sixty thousa»l or six-ty-five thousand to an inch, and of the latter only thirty-five thousand or forty thousand.

Professor Wright, of Netley, recommends olive-011, heated to the frying temperature, for the sterilizing of hypodermic syringes and other surgical instruments. Dipping in boiling water Is not sufficient, because the boiling temperature is so little above that which is fatal to microblc life that a long exposure to It Is necessary to make the process effective. But oil at a temperature of 320 degrees to 356 degrees Fahrenheit sterilizes Instantly. When the proper temperature has been attained, a bread crumb dipped into the oil becomes brown and crisp. At the annual reception of the New Tork Academy of Sciences there was an exhibition which contained a suggestion of cruelty, but the excuse for which was found In the light that It may throw upon biology. It was the production of “tandem” moths, and other similar monstrosities, through the grafting of cocoons. In some cases the cocoons of different species were grafted together. One of the grafted cocoons hatched out during the exhibition, and the result was a “tandem,” two moths being joined to one another lengthwise, with but a single head. Moths were also to be seen with two bodies but headless, with double sets of wings, with bodies growing out of one another at right angles, and so on.

WORRY WILL KILL.

Science Hat Proved that Tt la bo DanSerous as Many Diseases. Modern science has brought to light nothing more curiously Interesting than the fact that worry will kill, says Pharmaceutical Products. More remarkable still,'it has been able to determine from recent discoveries, Just how worry does kill It is believed by many scientists Who have followed most carefully the growth of the science of brain diseases that scores of the deaths set down to other causes are due to worry, and that alone. The theory is a simple one —so simple that any one can readily understand It. Briefly pot, It amounts to this: Worry injures beyond repair certain cells of the brain, and the brain being the notrttlve center of the body, the other organs become gradually injured, or "a combination of them arises, and death finally ensues. Thus does worry kill. Insidiously, like many another disease. It creeps upon the brain in the form of a single, constant, never lost Idea, and as the dropping of water over a period of years will wear a groove in a stone, so does worry gradually, imperceptibly, but no less sorely, destroy the braia cells that lead all the rest—that are, so to speak, the commanding officers of mental power, health and motion. Worry, to make the theory still stronger, is an irritant at certain points, which produces little harm if it comes at intervals or Irregularly. Occasional worrying of the system the brain can cope with, but the irritation and reiteration of one idea of a disquieting sort the cells of the brain are not proof against It is as if the skull were laid bare and the surface of the brain struck lightly with a hammer every few secends, with mechanical precision, with never a sign of let bp or the failure of a stroke.

Just in this way does the annoying Idea, the maddening thought that will not be done away with, strike or fall upon certain nerve cells, never ceasing, and week by week diminishing the vitality of these delicate organisms that are so minute they can only be seen under the microscope.

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of importance In every woman’s life. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble. Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time. The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular performance of nature’s function. The statement we print from Miss GebTBUde Sikes, of Eldred, Pa., is echoed in every city, town and hamlet in this country. Read what she says: “ Dear Mbs. Pctkham:—l feel like a new person since following your advice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were painful menstruation and leucorrhoea. I was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies I never had any faith in patent medicines. I now wish to say that I never had anything do me so much good for painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; also would 6ay that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrhoea. I hope these few words may help suffering women.” The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparalleled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during a single year. All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for advice about their health.

Origin of "Dark Horse."

People are always talking about “the dark horse,” but we wonder how many nowadays read the following passage which gave the phrase its origin: “The first favorite was never heard* of, the second favorite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were In the rear,' and a dark horse which bad never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed In the list, rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph.” Thjs is from the late Lord Beaconsfleld’s “Young Duke,” a novel which once had a tremendous popularity, and which can be read to-day with satisfaction* by ail with a taste for epigrams.— Boston Transcript.

Penalties of Being a Bachelor.

The ancient Romans were severe with their bachelors, who were made to pay heavy fines; and worse than that, Camlllus, after the siege of Veil, Is recorded to have compelled them to marry the widows of the soldleTs who-had fallen in war. In the"time of Augustus, married men were preferred for public office. The Romans who had three children were exempted from personal taxes, and the bachelors had to pay them. Plato condemned single men to a fine, and at Sparta they were driven at certain times to the Temple of Hercules by the women, who castigated them Ip true military style. In the French settlements of Canada women were sent over after the men, and the single men, that they might he forced to marry, were subjected to a heavy tax and to restrictions on their business and their movements generally. ■»:
