OUR BRALNS AND NERVES.

What They Are and How Dio Lewis Explains It In an Intelligent Manner. «... If you prick a tree it keeps very still; no cry and no -wincing. But if you prick a dog he yelps and jumps. The tree has no nerves. This explains why the tree keeps so still and why the dog makes such a fuss. A nerve is a white thread running between two different parts of the body. Its business is to carry messages. You pinch the end of a dog’s tail. There are white threads running frdm the encl Of a dog’s tail to his brain. The message sent over these is the following: To Headquarters iri the Skull. There is an awful pinching here. Tipbndoftail. When this message reaches the brain and is recorded and considered there, the brain sends back at once the following message: Tipbndoftail, Esq.: Jerk away from the pinch quick. Commander-In-Chief. Headquarters. The tail is jerked away and everything is lovely again. It is not the same white thread which conveys the pinching message that brings back the jerking message. They look alike, but they are not alike. The one that carries the message from the end of the tail to the brain is called a nerve of feeling, and the white thread which brings back the message from the brain to the tail, commanding it to jerk, is called a nerve of motion. You will say that these messages pass between a dog’s tail And his head instantaneously—as quick as lightning; that there is no time for framing formal messages. You are mistaken., The nature of the nerve force employed in conveying messages is not understood. Before the discovery of electricity it was thought that the “animal spirits” circulated in the nerves. Sime the -discovery of, electricity some physiologists liave held that the nerve fluid is electricity, and that the nerves or white - threads are simply conductors and electricity. But no one h s yet been able to discover electricity in the nervous system. Besides, the difference in the velocity of the electric fluid ami the nerve fluid is so great that one can hardly believe they are the same. The experiments of Wheatstone prove that electricity moves at the rate of 445,000 miles in a second; while Helmholtz has demonSti'ated that the velocity of the-nerve-fluid is not more than eighty-eight feet in a second. It would take the nerve fluid more than 200 days tapass through the distance which Wheatstone’s experiments prove electricity achieves hi one second. The supposition that the two are identical, in view of this amazing difference in velocity, seems absurd. If a dog were 1,000 miles long it woukV take sixteen hours for a message to go from the end of his tail and back again. You might cut off his tail and cari y it from New York to Cleveland before the news could get to the dog’s head 1 and a message come back to jerk. And when the message to jerk arrived there would be no tail there to jerk. ( It should be remarked here that messages travel faster on the nerves of some people than on those of others. When you tell a good story, five persons, willlaugh at once, but" onei solemn-looking man will remain solemn some seconds, and then double himself up in convulsions. It took longer for the thing to work on him, but such people have one advantage—-a funny story works strong on them when it does reach the brain. I might as well say just here that there are several kinds of nerves. One kind conveys messages of feeling. We call these of feeling.” Another kind conveys messages commanding motion. We call them “nerves of motion.” Another kind attends to the business of nutrition, building up and taking down the parts of the body. We call those “nerves of assimilation.” Then there is another sort called “nerves of special sense.” There are. four of these, known respectively as nerves of hearing, sight, smell and taste. Most people think, if they come upon a nerve in dissecting the body,that it is of course, a nerve of feeling. But now you see that the chances are six to one that the nerve you are examining is not engaged in feeling, but in quite a different business. It may*be in the molion trade, or it may be a member of the firm of special senses. i When the message from the dog’s tail arrives in his brain it there undergoes a wonderful manipulation before the message to jerk is ready to be sent i back. The brain not only, feels, but thinks, contrives, judges and wills. It takes a marvelous thing to do all that. In all God’s universe, the brain alone can perform these feats. The brain is a miracle-worker. It reaches out its hands, takes from the earth a mass of iron ore, rough and dirty, touches it with its magic wand, and it is changed into ingenious surgical instruments. It was worth 5 cents. It is now worth SIOO.

The “Curve” Pilcher Put to Shame.

The boomerangs consisted of crescent shaped pieces of very hard and heavy Australian wood, and all of them hud sharply-rounded edges and ends, but were of different curves, some being nearly straight. The average length was about two feet, the width the same number of inches, and their greatest tliielfm ss not more than salt inch. Standing in the center of the long lot ithey would grasp it boomerang by the end', whirl it over their heads and let it .go, when it would fly with great speed iia a straight .line'for al >out feet, tan-e :nd sail away in a directly confi i.'. v direction, until it was perhaps 20<> s feet oeliiud the spot from which it had Originally .been cast, curve again to the right or left, and Anally strike the ground almost at the thrower’s feet, all rhe while spinning round so rapidly as to look like a wheel. The men seemed to take great delight in the sport, and for half an hour, held the wondering attention of the invited guests of their .manager and the horde of howling small boys who had sealed the fence and run the blockade of the gates. . \ In the marvelous flights of the boomerang the most effective triumphs of the surve-pitcher are outdone a thousand

fold, and the reason for the contrary curve which it takes has always been a puzzler to men of science.—Philadelphia Record.

Ont at the Elba.

Seven hundred convicts of the most wicked criminals of all Italy are. confined at the Bazno on the Island of Elba. Passanate, the would-be murderer of King Humbert, is imprisoned there for life. Admission to his cell is strictly prohibited. The convicts live in cells which have a double pavement of bricks, on which the prisoners sleep, attached to the floor by a long chain which unites the whole bad company. Of the entire lot there are only two who save money and send it to their families, although their opportunities are fair to make good earnings, in wellaired workshops, where 300 convicts are making carriages, furniture, stoves, carpets, nails and locks. Highway robbers wear yellow and black jackets, murderers black opes and thieves yellow clothes. Chained men in the wards, grim looking and lazy, drag themselves to and fro between the iron gates, like wild beasts waiting for feeding time. Whenevef one of the convicts is suspected by his comrades of being a spy, his fate is sealed, and if Hot removed in time, he is sure to be strangled. — Exclt ange.

The Russian Stove.

The Russian stove is made of fire, resisting porcelain, is always ornamental, and frequently a highly artistichandsome article of furniture. Internally it is divided by thick fire-clay walls into several upright chambers or flues, usually six in number. Some dry firewood is lighted in a suitable fire-place, andL is supplied with only sufficient air to effect combustion, all of which enters below arid passes through the flue. The production of •combustion being thus undiluted with unnecessary cold air, are very highly heated, and in this state pass up compartment No. 1. They are then deflected and pass down No. 2, up No. 3, down through No, 4, again up No. 5 and down No. 6. At the end of thie long journey they have given up most of their heat to the twenty-four heat-absoibing surfaces of the fire-clay walls. Then all communication with the chimney is cut off, the fire is put out, hiving done its work, and the interior of the stove has bottled up its caloric ready for emission into the room, and, passing through the nonconducting walls of the stove, is radi ated into the apartments.

Canals.

.1. While the New World is busy with canal projects, from Cliagres to Choptank aud Choptank to Cape Cod, no less interest in this sort of engineering is felt in Europe. the lately revived undertakings is the old one for connecting the North'Sea and the Baltic. The first practical steps toward savering the Danish peninsula were taken just a century ago. The Elder empties in to the N orth Sea below Tonnibgen, aud the deepening of that strea'm in 1874 went far toward opening a waterway from Kiel, on the Baltic. During the past fifty years the project of a regular ship canal has from time to time been broached; and now Germany, having possessed herself of Holstein, is in a position to build it within her own domains. The canal, of course, would have military as well as eonimercial aims, as it would enable the Baltic and North ~ Sea squadrons of Germany to promptly reinforce each other.

Matrimonial Amenities.

Bill Pendergast, a rather impecunious Austin man, married for money, and his wife, a widow, ugly and longtongued, made William repent of his culpable avarice many and many a day. The widow biought with her into Bill’s family a son, as well as other property, and one evening sweet William overheard the boy howling dismally. “Whv howleth the kid!” inquired Bill. “He was a bad boy, and I have been whipping him. But I made him kiss me afterward to show hiffi that it was more in sorrow than in ganger that I punished him.” “Did you really a k that poor child 4io.,kisa.y»u ?”-&aid {r Yes, answered his wife. “How Could you be so cruel?” said BQI, “as to add new tortures to the punishment already inflicted?”— Texas Siftings.

“I can’t make my cash balance,” reported the bookkeeper to the senior member' of a 5-year-ohl concern. “Which wav is it? ' , “Over.” “How much?” “Forty-five dollars." “Correct you are, my boy. You take $5 and give me $-10; you see, my wife came m here this morning and I dumped what money i had in my pockets into the cash drawer. Then I turned the pockets inside out and told her I hadn’t got a cent, that the money in the drawer was part or a sum to pay a note and that you had gone out to borrow enough to make up the whole. You take the s'>. I say, and don’t, mention it.— Hartford Sunday Journal.

College Curriculum.

An article in a magazine asks: “What instruction should be added in our colleges?" Well, some persons thinks pool and draw-poker should be adde I to the curriculum, which already embraces base ball, boat-racing and, peneeble; but we’d draw the line at poker. A young man is generally proficient in that science before he enters college. Herald. Nevada has, according to the tenth census, G 2.266 population, 151 printers, and thiity-six newspaper publications, fourteen of which arc daily and twentytwo weekly, making it in every item the smallest State in the Union. Date palm trees have been successfully grown in California. They are of very slow growth, and do not come up until the fourteenth year.

HIS OWN EXECUTOR.

A Well-known Gentleman’s Philanthrophy and the Commotion Canned by One of His" Letters. [Rochester. Democrat and Chronicle.] We published in our'local columns yester- | day morning- a significant letter from a gen- I tieman known personally or by reputation to nearly every person in the land. Wes have. received a number of letters protesting against the use of our columns for such "palpable frauds and misrepresentation?;” therefore, to confirm beyond a doubt the authenticity of the letter, and the genuineness of its serUiments, a reporter of this paper was commissioned to aseeytain all the possible facts in the matter. Accordingly be visited Clifton Springs, saw the author of the letter, and with the following result: • Dr. Henry Koster, the gentleman in question. i 5.63 or 64 years of age, and has an extremely cordial manner. He presides as Superintendent over the celebrated sanitarium. which accommodates over 500 - guests, and is unquestionably the leading jiealth resort of the country. Several years ago this benevolent man wisely determined to be his own executor,, and, therefore, turned over this magnificent property, worth >300,000, as a free gift to a Board of Trustees, representing the principal Evangelical denominations. Among the Trustees are Bishop A. C. Coxe, Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodlot Episcopal; President M. B. Anderson, of the University of Rochester; Rev, Dr. Clark, Secretary of the A. 8.. C, F. M., Boston. The benevolent purpose! of the institution is the care: Ist—of Evangelical missionaries and their families whose health has been broken in thenwork. 2nd.—of ministers, of any denominations, in good standing. 3rd. —of members of .any church: who otherwise would be unable *to secure such care and treatment. The currentexpenses of the institution are met by the receipt from the hundreds of distinguished and wealthy people who every year crowd its utmost capacity. Here come men and women who were once in perfect health, but neglected the first symptoms of disease. The uncertain pains they felt at first were overlooked until their health became impaired. Thej- little realized the danger before them, nor how alarming even trifling ailments might prove. They constitute all classes, including ministers and Bishops, lawyers, Judges, Btatesinen,millioriaires,.journahsts, college professors and officials from j all parts of the land. - Drawing, tho morning and Chrmi-v-le from his pocket, the reporter remarked, “Doctor, that letter of yours has created a good deal of talk, and many of our readers have questioned its authenticity.” “To what do you refer?” remarked the Doctor. “ Have you seen the paper?” “Yes, but J bate not had time to read it yet.” The reporter thereupon showed him the letter, which was as follows: .UtinOS SIRINOS.SAV'TAIiIUM Co., I Clifton Springs, N. Y., 0.-t. ii, 1883. > Dear Sip. : 1n ni using Warner’s Safe Cure,’' and I regard it as the best remedy for some forms of kidney disease that we have. lam watching with great care some cases I am now treating with it, and J hope for favorable results. I wish you might come down yourself, as I would like very much to talk with you about your sterling remedy and show you over our institution. Yours truly, [Signed] Henry Foster, M. D. “1 do not see why anybody should be skep- • ti< al concerning that letter,” i emarked the Doctor. ••Isn't it unesvai for a physician of your standing and influence to commend a propri-, etary preparation.” “I don't know how it may be with others, but in this institution we allow no person to dictate to us what we shall use. Our purpose is to cure the Sick, and for that work we use anything we know to be valuable. Because I know Warner’s Safe Cure. Is a very valuable preparation, I commend it. As its power is manifested under my use, so shall I add to the completeness of my “Have you ever analyzed it. Doctor?” “We always analyze before we try any preparation of which we do not know the constituents. But analysis, you know, only gives the elements; it does not give the allimportant proportions. The remarkable power of Warner’s Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in the proportions according to which its elements are mixed.” While there maj- be a thousand remedies made of the same elements, unless they are put together in proper proportions, they are worthless as kidney and liver preparations. “1 hope some day to meet Mr. Warner personally, and extend fuller congratulations to him on the excellence of his preparations. I have heard much of him as the founder of the Wagner Observatory, and as a man of large benevolence. The reputed high character of the man himself gave assurance to me in the first place that he would not put a remedy upon the market that was not trustworthy;' and it was a source of a good deal of gratification to me to find out by actual experiment the remedy itself sustained my impressions.” The conclusion reached by Dr. Foster if precisely the same found by Dr. Dio Lewis, Dr. Robert A. Gunn, Ex-Surgeon-General Gallagher and others, and proves beyond a doubt the great efficacy of the remedy which has awakened so much attention in the land and j-escued so many men, women and children from disease and death. It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow-necked bottles; the less they, have in them the more noise they make in. pouring it “Stabye Out” is the unwelcome name of a town that meets the eyes of tramps in Wyoming Territory.

Where to See the Great Trotters of New York.

[Cincinnati Times-StarJ No two meh in America have had more experience with fine trotting stock, and none are better judges than Calvin M. Priest, of the New York Club stables, Twenty-eighth street near Fifth avenue,““ and Dan Mdce. of- the Excelsior Stables, West Twenty-ninth street. New York, the champion donb’e-teum driver of the United States. Both of these gentlemen say that for painful ailments in horses, such as cuts, bruises, swellings, lameness, stiffness, St. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything they have ever used or heard of. This is also the opinion of Prol. David Robarge, the celebrated horse-shoer qf the metropolis, and thousands of stock-owners throughout the country. As a pain-cure for man and beast St. Jacobs Oil has no equal. Mr. Priest recites the case of a valuable trotter, so stiff from rheumatism that he could not move an inch. By one thorough application of St. Jacobs Oil at night the animal was completely cured, and was fit for the race-track the next day.

The efforts of expert chemists to produce a preparation of iron which can be assimilated with the blood have resulted in that perfect preparation which is an important part of Brown’s Iron Bitters.
