Cambojia and Its People.

Cambojia, in the by-gone centuries, beginning with the sixteenth, is credibly reputed to have been a flourishing kingdom, and its warlike people far more advanced in civilization than the adjacent monarchies of Siam and Cochin China. Since the year 1820 Cambojia has been generally in vassalage to one of these two neighboring powers, first one and then the other gaining the pre-enrinence. Yet with singular fidelity the Cambojians have {•reserved intact the purity of their anguage and literature, as well as all their peculiarities of dress, architecture, and the institutions of social and domestic life. Indeed, they seem to abhor changes in everything, clinging with loving tenacity to the memory of the past; and, unlike other Oriental nations in this particular, they eschew even European fashions and fabrics, dressing, as did their ancestors, in rich crepes, satins, and silks, modeled in the quaint, picturesque styles of the centuries long past. The garb of both sexes consists of two or more loose robes with long, flowing sleeves, and buttoned close about the neck. Beneath these are worn full trousers, while a turban of delicate crepe covers the head; and for full dress a mantle of brocade silk is thrown over the shoulders, and draped with a patrician air. Even the common people go fully clothed, and thus present a more comely appearance than the populace of most other Oriental nationalities. Cambojian houses are, as a rule, large and comfortable, built in general with mud walls, but roofed with beautiful tiles laid on in contrasting shades, and the floors of mosaics of different colored woods,'while the walls are prettily decorated with creeping vines or such other simple ornaments as may be available in the present depressed state of the country. Of the interior, one-half forms an open hall for the reception of guests and the transaction of businfess, like the gate-rooms so often referred to in the Scriptures. There, in a conspicuous position, are placed the household altar and “god,” with the “incense pot” and other emblems of his idolatrous rites; for such an anomaly as a household without an altar of worship or a man or woman who forgets or neglects to offer daily oblations to his god is unknown in heathen lands. Can the same be said of all the families and individuals who profess the name of Jesus? The private apartments of Cambojian homes, disposed in curtained recesses behind the large outer room, are always in the form of square chambers open on one side only; and the beds, each formed of a bench overlaid with soft, mat-covered cushions, are raised about a foot from the floor, thus serving for both seats by day and couches by night. The other furniture is extremely simple, though pretty and tasteful; but it is upon their temples, “the house es the god,” and not their own abodes, that Orientals lavish unsparingly their wealth and ingenuity. The religion of the country is Buddhism, and all the people, men, women, and children, are devotees of the r strictest sort, at least so far as pertains to the outward forms of worship. All their temples, or “wats,” as they call them, are very costly, being carved, gilded, and’ decorated with precious stones, and neither gold nor jewels, time nor labor, is doled out stintingly when a new temple is to be erected or a religious festival celebrated.— Illustrated Christian Weekly.

Indian Death Customs.

Among the North American tribes there are seven modes of burial, viz., by inhumation; by embalmment; by deposition of remains in urns; by surface burial (the remains being placed in hollow trees or logs, pens, or simply covered with earth, or bark, or rocks forming cairns); by cremation; by aerial sepulture (the bodies being left in lodges, houses, cabins, tents, deposited on scaffolds or trees, in boxes or canoes, supported on scaffolds or posts, or placed on the ground,) and by aquatic burial beneath the water, or in canoes turned adrift. Each tribe follows its own course, according to the established custom, The first form of burial, that is, of interment in the ground, ■was customary among the Mohawks of New York. Schoolcraft, in his history of; the Indian tribes, tells us that “the Mohawks of New York made a large round hole in which the body was placed upright, or upon its haunches, after which it was covered with timber to support the earth which they laid over it, and thereby kept the body from being pressed. They then raised the earth in a round hill over it. They always dressed the corpse in all its finery, and put wampum and other things into the grave with it; and the relations suffered not grass nor weeds to grow upon the grave, and frequently visited it and made lamentations.” The same custom prevailed among the Indians formerly inhabiting the Carolinas, but they placed the corpse in a coffin made of woven reeds or hollow canes, tied fast at both ends. After a time the body is taken up, the bones cleaned, and deposited in an ossuary, called the quiogozon. The custom of tying,up the corpse likewise prevails among the Yumanas of South America, who “bury their dead bent double, with faces looking toward the heavenly region of the sunrise, the home of their great good deity, who they trust will take their souls with him to his dwelling. On the other hand, the Peruvian custom was to place the dead huddled up in a sitting posture, and with faces turned to the west.” With regard to burying in the ground, Tylor informs us that it is customary among the Winnebagoes of North America to bury a man “sitting up to the breast in a hole in the ground, looking westward; or graves are dug east and west, and the bodies laid in them with the head eastward, with the motive that they may look toward the happy land in the west.”

He Couldn’t Scare Cassatt.

“Talking about fast running,” said an old railroader, “reminds me of a little story of A. J. Cassett, formerly of the Pennsylvania Road, but now in retirement as Mr. Kelsb, proprietor of a racing stable. Well, Cassatt was on the line between New York and Philadelphia one day a few years ago.and at Jersey City got up into the locomotive with which Jim Sanford was starting

for Philadelphia with No. 18, the flying train, which then, as now, made the ninety-mile run in one hundred and twelve minutes. When he got along down by Menlo Park, Jim thought he would have some fun with Cassatt, and so he let her out. When she struck an easy grade two or three miles were covered at the rate of forty-seven seconds to the mile, which is frightful running—nearly seventy-seven miles an hour. Jim kept looking over to Cassatt, hoping the Vice President would show some signs of fear. But Cassatt kept looking out of the window of the shaking, plunging, careening engine without a change of color or expression on his face. Einally.he turned to Jim and inquired: “ ‘Say, is that the best she can do ? Can’t she go faster than this ?’ “That was the last time Jim Sanford tried to scare A. J. Cassatt. ‘Why,’ says Jim. when he tells the story, as he pretty -often does, ‘I was a leetle s.airt myself, not bein’ sartin if the machine would hang together at that frightful pace, and when Cassatt up and wanted to go faster I give up in despair. Never saw such a man in my life.’ ” Chicago Herald.

Soothing a Horse by Song.

A minister named M. C , who has since passed into “innocuous desuetude” by falling from grace, had a circuit in Southern Indiana. The horse he rode was a spirited animal and would not let a blacksmith shoe him. The preacher was a great revivalist, and singer of revival songs—noted for his “power of song,” in fact. A smith in the county seat, the center of the circuit, learning .that the preacher’s horse would not be shod, meeting the divine one day, said: “If you’ll bring that horse to my shop on to-morrow, and follow my instructions, I’ll shoe him ‘all round,’ and it won’t cost you a cent. ” Accordingly the preacher was on time at the smithshop with his refractory steed, and after the animal had been divested of saddle, blankets, and all but the bridle, the smith said: “Now, hold your horse by the rein, close to the bridle-bit, and sing one of your liveliest camp-meeting songs, and when that is ended, strike up another, and keep on singing until I finish shoeing the horse.” The preacher obeyed, and to the astonishment of all, the animal was passive until the work was completed. As the blacksmith clinched the last nail he dropped the animal’s foot, exclaiming : „ “There, I knew you could sing religion into that horse.”— Detroit Free Press.

The Tower of Ulm Cathedral.

Flush with the main wall of the church uprises the tower, an elegant mass of late decorated gothic, in which is carried out to greater completeness the idea developed by Master Erwin, at Strasburg, of pilaster strips before the deeper lying windows, thus effectuating in the tower the idea started in the porch. In this tower, which is easily ascended, and which commands an extensive view of the surrounding plains and the Swabian Alps, hang a large number of bells, all bearing names indicative of their purpose. Some have long been silent, among them one named the “wine bell,” once rung nightly at 10 o’clock for the purpose of fetching the male population home from the tavern. On the top is a quaint Latin inscription commemorating the foolhardiness of the Emperor Maximilian, a lover, it would seem, of foolhardy deeds—for Innspruck has a cognate tale to tell—who, ascending this tower in 1492, leaped upon the parapet, and balancing himself on one leg, swung round the other in mid air; a truly royal form of recreation. In the tower, too, is kept a typical “Ulmhead,” the largest tobacco pipe ever made, excepting always her Majesty’s in Si. Catherne’s docks. Tradition telleth that a student from Tubingen once smoked it empty after a steady pull of nine hours. Tradition telleth not how the student felt afterward. On the roof of the nave sits the image of a huge sparrow, known as the "Ulmer-spatz,” a figure that has sat here from time immemorial as a mementp to the Ulmers of the stupidity of their forefathers, who needed a bird to show them that a beam carried crosswise could not enter into a narrow gate.

A Cheap Lightning Bod.

I have a number of buildings that have been protected for seVen years from lightning, and at the expense of 75 cents. Galvanized barb-wire is a very good conductor of electricity, and, on account of the numerous points, especially adapted to the absorption of electricity wherever it is stretched. Double the wire and twist into a cable, which will make it four-ply, or four strands. Put one end in the well, cistern, or moist earth, and carry the other up over your building and along the gables, passing over the chimney or highest points of the building. Fasten to the wood-work with common fence staples. The electricity will not leave as good a conductor as galvanized wire to follow dry lumber. Thus you have the best lightning rod that can be made for less than $1 all told. The editor of the New England Farmer, commenting on this, says the plan seems sound and worthy of imitation, except in one point-more pains should be taken in “grounding” the wire.—Cor. Farm, Stock, and Home.

Common Sense in the Pulpit.

The vicar of an English parish, who recently dispensed with a sermon to avoid detaining his congregation, most of whom were shivering in wet boots, has since died of a cold. Perhaps somebody will draw a lesson from this incident, but the parson’s exceptional common sense must not be forgotten. —Boston Transcript. By means of an extremely sensitive “thermo-electric calorimeter,” a French physiologist is enabled to measure the heat liberated by cold-blooded animals, such as frogs and fishes, and even by insects and larvae. No oh* was ever corrected by a sarcasm, but oftener driven further in the wrong way. In teaching,.. always be kind and patient.

Why Is It

That rheumatism and neuralgia are so prevalent? This question has, not been satisfactorily answered, but it is certain that these diseases are not only the most painful but among the most common, and Some member of nearly everr fnmlly in the land is the victim of one of these dread tormentors. Ladies seem to ba peculiarly liable to neuralgic attacks, which, fit the form of neuralgic headache, .pain in the back, or nervops pains, are of constant occurrence, particularly at this season of the year. Not until the discovery of Athlophoros had , any reihjfly been found for either rheumatism, ’ neuralgia or nervous headache, and they were generally conceded to be Incurable, "but Athlopho»os ha l ! been proved to be not only a certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, but a safe remedy. If in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, its success is certain, and to aid this, Athlophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartic, will be found to l>e a valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no new experiment; it has been thoroughly tested, ana has proved its wonderful efficacy. - The Athlophoros Pills were originally pre-

pared as a remedy for use in connection with Athlophoros,-for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy, they are a certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for many other complaints, in fact for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or general debility. They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating, headache, constipation, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liver troubles. For diseases of women they are invaluable. These pills are perfectly harmless, and may be safely used by adults or children. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is SI.OO per bottle for Athlophoros and 50c. for Pills.

Philosophy of the Forehead.

A very retreating forehead, which is low and shallow, usually accompanies want of intellect. If slightly retreating, or what appears to be retreating from the fullest of the forms over the eyes, it signifies imagination, susceptibility, wit and humor. Slow persons, with dull intellect, have very projecting foreheads. Perpendicular foreheads, rather high and well rounded at the temples, rarely fail to go with solid understanding, powers of concentration and love of study. * A low, arched forehead, which is full at the temples, is indicative of sweetness and sensitiveness, and when combirretl with great fullness over the eyes gives an impressionable, idealistic nature. High, narrow, wholly unwrinkled foreheads, over which the skin is tightly drawn, show weakness of will-power and a lack of imagination or susceptibility. Foreheads not entirely projecting, but having knotty protuberances, give vigor of mind and harsh, oppressive activity and perseverance. Persons possessing poetic, ardent and sensitive natures not "unfrequently have a blue vein forming the letter “Y” in an open, smooth and low forehead. Perpendicular wrinkles between the eye-brows, when of equal length, signify anger, but if the wrinkles are of Unequal lengths they show deep thought and much concentration. Philadelphia News.

Impurities in Metals.

In a recent lecture Mr. W. Rob-erts-Austen, chemist of the British mint, remarked upon the wonderful effects often produced upon metals by minute quantities. Slight impurities in metallic copper would render ocean telegraphy impossible. When purified, tin loses its well-known “cry,” or noise made when bent. A trace of arsenic increases the fluidity of lead so that it will roll itself into small shot in sliding down an inclined plane. Standard gold melts at about 1,660 degree, but if a fifth of one per cent, of silica be added it will soften in a candle-flame. A trace of lead added to gold forms an alloy much dreaded at the mint, the breaking strain of the gold being reduced from twenty tons to five. Some metals have a remarkable power of taking up gases, palladium being capable of absorbing 900 times its volume of hydrogen and giving it out again when heated. A remarkable discovery is that an alloy of rhodium and lead will absorb nitrogen and oxygen, and when heated give them, off with explosive violence as gun-cotton does.

Bridges.

The first bridges were of wood, and the earliest of which we have any account was built in Rome 500 B. C. The next was erected by Julius Caesar for the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trajan’s great bridge over the Danube, 4,770 feet long, was made of timber, with stone piers. The Romans also built the first stone bridge which crossed the Tiber. Suspension bridges are of remote origin. A Chinese one mentioned by Kirchen was made of chains supporting a roadway 830 feet in length. It was built A. D. 65, and is still to be seen. The first large iron bridge was over the Severn in 1777. The age of railways has wrought a remarkable development in this branch of engineering, especially in the construction of bridges of iron and steel. .....

Sunflowers for Fuel.

I grow one acre of them every year, and have plenty of fuel for the stove the whole year round, and use some in the other stove besides. I plant them in hills the same as corn (only three seeds to the hill), and cultivate the same as com. lout them when the leader. or top flower is ripe, lett ng them lie on the ground two or three days. In that time I cut off all the seed heads, which are put into an open ;shed with a floor in it, the same as a corn crib The stalks are then hauled home and packed in a common shed with a good roof on it. When cut in the right time the stalks, when dry, are hard as oak, and make a good hot Are, while the seed-heads, with the seed in, make a better fire,than the best hard coal. The seed, being very rich in oil, will burn better and longer, bushel for bushel, than hard coal. The sunflower is very hard on land. The piece of ground selected to plant on should be highly enriched with manure. In the great steppes (prairie) region in the interior of Russia and in Tartary, where the winters are more severe than here in Dakota, the sunflowers are and have been for centuries past the only kind of fuel used.— Cheyenne Sun.

The Physiology of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ in the human body, and the bile which it secretes is more liable to vitiation and misdirection from its proper channels than any other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the bilious, however, there is an unfailing source of relief from liver complaint, namely, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine which for over a quarter of acen-‘ tury has been achieving thorough cures of the above-mentioned ailments, fever and ague, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic and kidney affection, and disorders involving losi of nervous vigor. It is, moreover, a preventive of malarial disease, and affords protection to thousands of persons residing in districts of country where that dire scourge is prevalent. As a remedy adapted to the medicinal requirements of families, it is supremely desirable, and as a means of fortifying a debilitated system, it is thoroughly to be depended upon.

No one who has looked into life with honest eyes can have failed to discover that it derives untold values from the love which welcomes its dawn, attends its growth, and advances step by step and soothes and cheers its old age. Human love is itself a pearl of great price. How it enlarges, enriches, and ennobles life! What beneficent ministries it conducts! What patient heroism and severe self-supression it inspires ! In a mother it is faith and hope and patience and effort and victory. In young hearts it is a transforming gladness, an awakening to the responsibility and to the rapture of life. In manhood and womanhood it is the balm of care,a refuge in temptation and a source of serenity. The heart is like a musical instrument of many strings, all the cords of which require putting in harmony. No trouble to swallow Dr. Pierce’s Pellets.
