working the j.lriut to obtain its (iter proved unsatisfactory. Tin-re appears, however, to be of late a renewed interest in the project, and it is claimed that the problem of utilizing this plant, which thrives well In that climate, is in a fair way to be soon solved. "The ramie plant (Bo.'hmcria nivea) is a herbaceous shrub, allied to the true nettles but differing from them in not having stinery hair*. The plants throw up many stalks from the roots, growing from three to tsix feet in height, nrcordiny to the quality and moisture of the soil. They proj/ar gate readily from root separation^ which method is almost exclusively followed, according to the California Fruit Grower, which illustrates the general character of the ramee plant, as here shown, and furnishe.H the following facts iy regard to it.

a beautiful, frosted, .silvery appearance. For many years the orientals have cultivated the planttor the superior liber of its inner bark, from which they manufacture the famous grass cloth so highly valued. Tho fiber is one Of tIks very 11 nest, being very long and almost as soft as silk, and can be used for almost any purposo to which cotton, Has or sUk is adapted. Tho liber does not mildew or rot,^ and is for some reasons repugnant to moths and insects which arc destructive to libers and cloths.

The great drawback to cultivating ramie for fiber purposes has been the difficulty of detaching the gunimy outer substance from the fiber. The process of splitting the bark and scraping if. with knives, as practiced by tho Orientals, is entirely too tedious and expensive for this country. A large number of machines of inoro or less value have been invented for working ramee stalks, but most of them huvc been found lacking in essential qualifications. There has como recently, however, from California the report, of ft hew machine which it Is claimed will work rapiee fiber profitably by tho dry proccss. _________ ^urgent l.ui-omotlTCd In the World.

The Iron Trade Review calls attention to four of what are-said to bet he largest locomotives ever built in the world nearing completion at the Baldwin l/oeomotivo works at. Philadelphia, I'a. They are being Irnilt for tho Grand Trunk railroad, aud will be used in tho St. (Hair funnel, which runs under the bed oC the St.. flair river, between Port Huron. Mich., and Sarnia, Ont. There are ftvq pairs of 50-inch driving wheels on each slduof the boilers, and the cab is in the center Of the boiler, extending out over the two tanks.

CURIOSITY SHOP.

X.uliable« That Mothers Sins to Lall Thair Little Ones to Itent in Many Lands. Every country has its mothers and babies, and therefore every country has its cradle songs, and from the tin rby th rnical 1 nes with which the Chinese parent strives to woo the spirit of rest to her little yellow faced treasure to the poetical verse of the Italian mother rocking her bambino there is a thread of connection that winds its tender way from ocean to ocean and from continent to continent. What can be prettier than the simple Scotch ditty:

Ba-lo ba-loo, my wee thing. Oh, sortly close thy blinkin' e'e. Thy (Ltddy now is far awa. A sailor laddie o'er the sea. The follou mg is of Gaelic extraction:

Heigh-o, heogh-o, what'll I do wi' ye? Black's the life that I lead wi* ye. Many o' ye, little to gie ye, Ileigh-o, hetigh-o, what'lll do wi' ye? Our old fainiliAr,

Bye Baby Banting, Thy father's gone a-hunting Gone to get a rabbit skin To wrap his Baby Banting in:

and the Hibernian, Hush, baby dear, weep not awhile. And o'er thee shall bright treasures smile.

As did thy royal sires once own In the green land of Conn and Owen, will bear comparison with the crooning verses of most countries. One or two are particularly melodious. Among these we must quote this bright lyric which you will hear in every hamlet and every village of song loving Brittany:

Go to sleep, you little darling, Go to sleep, dear little Pierrot I'll sing sweet and low, Aud rock to and fro, The crib of Pierrot, Whom wo all love.

Then there is the pretty Italian, Sleep, my baby, sleep, my darling. While I hush thee with my song

Sleep until tho new sun rises. Sleep in peace the whole night long. Reference has been mac^e to the rhythm of the Chinese lulling verse here is a specimen:

Snail, snail, como out and beied, l-'u out your horns and then your head, And thy mamma will givo thee mutton, For thou art doubly dear to me. Of all the soft motherly idqas ever incorporated in song there are none more so than those of tho Hottentot who bends over hjr baby singing:

Why dost thou woep, my child? Wherefore dost thou weep? Hush, darling, calm thee. And sleep, my child, aud sleep.

Size* and Longevity.

Although there i3 some relation between size and longevity—the duration of the period of growth and length of life being, speaking generally, longest in the largest animals—there is no fixed relation between the two. The largest organisms live the longest, some trees reaching an age of 6,000 years, and some animals, as whales, several centuries. And after maturity is reached larger animals require longer time than smaller animals to secure the preservation of the species. The explanation of this, as pointed out by both Leuckart and Herbert Spencer, is that "the absorbing surface of an animal only increases as tho square of its length, while its size increases as the cube and it therefore follows that the longer an animal Itceomes the greater will bo the dilliculty experienced in assimilating any nourishment, over and above that which it requires for its own needs, and therefore the more slowly will it reproduce itself." We, however, find corresponding duration of life among animals of very different size,, says Longmante Magazine. For example, the toad and tho cat live as long as the horse, the crayfish as long as the pig, and the pike aud carp as long as the elephant. In an intercsing appendix, from which fhese facts are quoted, Dr. Weissmanu cites tho case of a saa anemone which lived not loss than sixty-six years. It was placed by Sir John Dalzell inasmall glass jar in the Edinburgh Botanical gardens in 1S28, Itelng then, as companions with other individuals reared from the egg period, fully seven years old. It died a natural death in 1887.

Jocular Literature.

Mr. \V. C. Haxlitt in his studies in jocu lar literaturo shows by quotations without end the ancient descent of scores of famous jokes and gems of reparteo that bob up in every generation, garbed anew, perhaps, fostered upon other parents, and regarded by most people' as entirely new. Some American students of this matter pretend that they can predict the exact time when such and such a joke or story may be expected to appear in our newspapers. These jokes have their orbits they run through tho press from New York to California, to disappear and reappear in acertain number of years, slightly altered, perhaps, but still the same old friends.

Mr. Hazlitt pins a number of the most famous jokes of the lost generation in England and traces them back step by step, showing in some instances that they were hoary veterans when the first Joe Miller appeared, 150 years ago. Even the mists of Hindoo mythology do not escape Mr. Hazlitt, who thinks he finds the germs of sundry good jokes lurking therein. The modern quatrain,

The love hair, which Cella wears. Is hers -who would liave thought it? Sho swears 'tis hers, and true sho swears.

For I know where she bought it, is traced to ancient Greece,

Curious Marriage Superstitions. In the Vosges -Mountains the ywang women who dress the bride strive as to who shall stick the first pin in the bridal robe, as the successful one will be married the same year. It was lucky for English bridesmaids to throw pins away. The bride must not look into the mirror after she is dressed for the ceremony, unless she puts on some article of apparel afterward.

In Russia the bride must avoid eating the wedding cake on the eve of the ceremony, or she will lose her husband's love. The sneezing of a cat on the eve of a marriage was considered a good omen in the Middle Ages, but the howling of a dog then, as now, was especially ominous.

Origin of FusUIm Quotation*. "It's no fish ye'rtj buying, it's men's livm," wrote Walter Scott. Thomas Hood, in his famous "Song of t-heShirt," expressed the same idea in the lines:

It is not Unea yoa are wearing oat, But humxa creatures" Uvea. It was also in his "Song of the Shirt," (that Heod wrote the well known oouplet:

My tmrs must stop, tor every drop Hinder* needle and thread.

A Sketch of One of the Blost Noble of America's Wild Animals, which Formerly Roamed Our Western Prairies In

Vast Herds but Is Now Nearly Extinct.

The buffalo, the most characteristic ani mal of this continent, Is now nearly extinct. With the exception of a few scattered herds in the remoter regions of the northwest, there are no representatives left of this noble race, says The Great Divide, which tells how this state of things has come about and furnishes the striking picture here given of a family of buffaloes.

Whole her of buffalo have been killed merely to secure the robes, the bodies left to the wolves and coyotes. A buffalo robe nowadays is a rare possession. Twenty years ago these comfortable and handsome wraps were v»ry common. Now the source of the supply has been nearly, if not quite, destroyed. And yet haste and waste are still at work. It is true that all the blame does not rest with the American people. Foreign sportsmen have been guilty of wanton destruction of the buffalo. Iu many instances hundreds have been shot down merely to gratify an ignoble ambition.

PAPA, MAMMA AND BABY.

The buffalo (Bos Americanus) is the only species of the ox family native to America, except tibe musk ox of sub-Arctic regions. It is almost universally called buffalo by the American people, although it is very different from the buffaloes of the Old World. Bison is the more correct appella tion. It was formerly found in vast numbers in the great prairies between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains, great marshy tracts furnishing good grazing grounds. The only natural enemy that the buffalo fears is the bear. The wolf cannot cope with it at all, but l^ith the persistence of i*:a race, a band of wolves will hang around a herd of buffalo to devour the calves which may stray, or aged anim''s which have become too weak to keep up with the rest.

Uncle Phil's Story.

'Tell us a story, Uncle Phil," said Rob and Archie, running to him. "What abo.ut?" said Uncle Phil, as Rob climbed on his right knee and Archie on his left. "Something when you were a little boy," said Archie. "Once when I was a littfc boy," said Uncle Phil, "I asked my mother to let Roy and myself play by the river." "Was Roy your brother?" asked Rob. "No, but he was very fond of playing with me. My mother said yes, so we went and had a good deal of sport. After a while I took a shingle for a boat and sailed it along the bank. At last it began to get into deep water, where I couldn't reach it with a stick. Then I told Roy to go and bring it to me. He almost always did what I told him, but this time he did not. I began scolding him, and he ran toward home. Then I was angry. I picked up a stone and threw it at him as hard as I could. It made him stagger. He gave a. "little cry and lay down on the ground. But I was still angry vnth him. I did not go to him, but waded .ato the water for my boat. But it was deeper than 1 thought. Before I knew it I was in a strong current. I screamed as it carried me down stream but no men were near to help me. But, as I went down under the deep waters, something took hold of me and dragged me toward the shore. And when I was safe on the bank I saw it was Roy. He had saved my life." "Good fellow! Was he your cousin?" asked Rob. "No," replied Uncle Phil.

What did you say to him?" asked Archie. "I put my arms around the dear fellow's neck and cried, and asked him to forgive me." "What did he say?" asked Rob. "He said, 'Bow, bow, bow!"' "Why, who was Roy, anyway?" asked Archie, in great astonishment. "He was my dog,^' said Uncle Phil "the best dog I ever saw. I hr 'e never been unkind to a dog or to any other animal since, and I hope you never will be,"

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

The Gout's Blood Cure for Consumption. A Sturdy Scientist -Defends It. Whatever the blood of goats may or may not nave done for Dr. Bernheim's con Btimptive patients, the close study of it seems certainly to have taught the Parisian scientist himself how to butt very effectively, says a London journal. Dr. Bernheim, shortly after the publication of Dr. Koch's new remedy for tuberculosis, made it known to the world that by the injection of goats' blood consumption could be cured. There was no siege of Paris, as there was a siege of Berlin, by consumptives after the publication of the new cure, but a goodly number of patients placed themselves in Dr. Bernheim's hands, and nothing further was heard till suddenly the press of Paris spread the news that four patients I died of the "goat blood cure" five days after the first injection by Dr. Bernheim Paris, whic1, was feeling rather dull, excited at once, and clamored for expla. vtions, which Dr. Bernheim immediately supplied by stating, in along letter to T'~e Figaro, that there is not an atom of truth in the whole story of the five deaths, ends by a challenge to his traducers, thor. in somewhat politer terms, that he is qu. a ready to fight them, if they will only "come on."

The Hygiene of the Skin.

It seems time that the relation of clothing to the health of the people of temperate climates engaged in civil industries should be reviewed, and the points for investigation may be summarized thus, viz.: 1. The popular and professional estimate of the hygiene of the skin is much below its real importance. 2. The physiology of the skin cannot be largely interfered with without endangering the general health. S. One of the influential factors in the sound health of man is to establish and maintain in his organization a resisting power to the causes of disease. 4. The tendency is to overdress, enervating the skin and curtailing its power, and thereby the power of the whole system, to resist the causes of disease. 5. A proper exposure of the surface of the body to environing low temperature is a valuable general- tonic. 6. Ventilation of the skin is indispensable to good health. 7. Habit may enable one to bear wide differences in clothing under similar surroundings without •detriment-, and this should impress the necessity of cultivating correct habits of dress.—Dr. Hibberd.

A Curious Performance.

A writer in a scientific journal reports having recently heard a young girl of fourteen warble after the fashion of a biru. She kept her mouth slightly open, and the lips merely trembled, the notes being formed in tho throat, the center of it working as a bird's does when singing, and the sounds produced were exactly like those of blackbirds and thrushes. She warbled several airs to pianoforte accompaniments faultlessly, and most beautifully modulated and so powerful were the notes tb her grandmother, who was excessively deaf, could catch every one without the slightest effact in another room a little distant off. %ti the same room some notes were deafening when she poured them out at the forte parts. She had been self taught entirely from "whistling" to her dog and sitting in the window to "warble" to the birds,

Bad Temper and Insanity.

Dr. William A. Hammond, discussing in Tho North American Review, "Self Control in 'CuHug Insanity," shows how the exercise of volitional power on the part of the patent may check-the earlier stages of mental alienation. He quotes an English physician as saying, in the lunatic asylum at Hanwell: "It is my belief that two-thirds of the women here have come to require restraint through the habitual indulgence of an originally bad temper."

beatli from a Broken Heart. What is claimed to be a genuine case of a man dying from a broken heart is reported from St. Louis. Just before Patrick Connelly, aged thirty-five, died he exclaimed, "Oh! my motherl my dear mother!" When the heart of Connelly was examined it was found the apex was elongated and birrs ted. No cause is assigned except grief due to the death of the aged mother of1 the deceased. The verdict was death caused by a ruptured heart.

Where to Pat the Mustard Plasters. An English lady declares that a'mustard plaster on the elbow will cure neuralgia in the face, and that one on the back of the neck will cure neuralgia in the head n-'d the reason given for this is that the mustard is said to touch the nerves direct!. it begins to bite while, if put on a part where no nerve exists, it is of no use.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

The Differing Courtesies That Mark Good Breeding in Man and in Woman. "Are girls as well bred as boys?" Yes— and no I says Marion Harland in answering this question in The Housekeeper's Weekly. Their training lies along different lines. One thing must always be considered—namely, that a woman's part is in many points of etiquette passive. It is the man who takes the initiative, and who is made such a prominent figure that all eyes are drawn to him. Have you ever noticed it? Man proposes, woman accepts. Man stands, woman remains seated. Man lifts his hat, woman merely bows. Man acts a? escort, woman as the escorted. So when a man is. careless or thoughtless it is all the more evident. For this reason begin as a boy to observe all the small, s^eet courtesies of life. I often wish there were any one point in which a woman could show her genuine ladyhood as a man displays his gentlehood by the management of*his tat—raising it entirely from the head on meeting a woman, lifting it when the lady with whom he is walking bows to an acquaintance, or, when his man companion greets a friend, baring his head on meeting, parting from or kissing mother, sister or wife. These, with other points Bach as rising whsn a woman enters the room and remaining standing ontil she is seated, giving her the precedence in pass* ing in or out of a door and picking up the handkerchief or glove* she letsvfall—are sure indices of the gentleman, or by their absence mark the boor.

But onr girl should not think that she can afford to overlook the acts of tactful courtesy which are her duty ss well as her brothel's. Her temptation is often to exercise a patrmxizing toleration toward her eidcxa, and while she hi not actually disrespectful, she still has the ai3»of a very superior young being holding converse with a person who has the advantage merely in the accident of yeass.

Another of our girl's mistakes is that of imagining that brusqueness and pertness an wit. There is no other error mom common with girls from fifteen to eighteen, and they generally choose a boy as the butt of their sarcastic remarks—and, to their shame be it said, they frequently soke* a lad who is too ooorteoos to retort in kind.

Men that Jump

at conclusions, are generally "off their base." Because there are numberless patent medicines of questionable value, it doesn't follow that all are worthless Don't class Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with the usual run of such remedies. It is way above and beyond them! It ig doing what others fail to do! It is curing the worst cases of Chronic Nasal Catarrh. If you doubt it, try it. If you make a thorough trial, you'll be cured $500 forfeit for an incurable case. This offer, by Wond's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. At all druggists 50 cents.

I have been bothered with catarrh for about twentv years I had lost sense of smell entirely^ and I had almost lost my hearing. My eyes were getting so dim I had to get some one to thread my needle. Now I have my hearing as well as I ever bad, and I can see to thread as fine a needle as ever I did, my sense of smell is partly restored, and it seems to be improving all the time. I think there is nothing like Ely's Cream Balm'for Catarrh. Mrs. E. E. Grimes, Rendrill, Perry Co., O. 44 2
