A STUDY OF SEASICKNESS.
How the Matter Appears to
an Old Sailor.
Curious InsUncas Showing the Effant of
Temperament and Imagination.
An old sailor sends the following
letter to the New York Evening Post:
Two letters from European correspond
ents have recently appeared nearly
simultaneously containing antagonis
tic views of seasickness. The writer
to the Evening Post, who mado the
outward passage on the Normandie, is
an optimist: He says: “All that is
needed is self-ccntrol; preserve that
for live minutes and you are saved.”
The pessimist of the Commercial Ad
vertiser has no self-control, but resigns
himself to the inevitable, for the “great
ugly fact of seasickness remains. No
contrivance, no specific has been in
vented to mitigate its woes.”
In individual cases each may be
bright. A great many elements enter
’into the question. All brains and all
stomachs are not constructed alike,
and seasickness is sometimes a disease
of one and sometimes of the other.
Dr. Stevens, the oculist, has written
an ingenious pamphlet, in which he
demonstrates to his own satisfaction
that it is a disease of the eyes. lam
not able to controvert this, because 1
have never bad a blind man for a
shipmate - not many blind men go to
sea professionally, or for the purpose
Os seeing anything abroad. Few per
sons do, in fact, escape the clutches of
the monster who attacks in different
ways. About fifty years ago he had
mo under control for the first ten days
of my seafaring life, and if I did not
have the will power of “Periander,”
my superiors bad it, but all their
“starling up’' was of no avail. How
ever, that ten days was all that was
required of me, and he has never
tried it again. On the other hand, I
once sailed with a captain who, after
thirty years’ experience, always suf
fered on the first day of a passage.
A very curious, and to the ship an
expensive, idiosyncrasy once came
under my observation. Wo had a
passenger from Boston to Leghorn.
During the whole forty days he vora
ciously devoured six daily meals. First
he breakfasted with the mate and me.
1 shall bo sufficiently understood if I
say that he immediately afterward
went on deck. He then came down
below ami had plenty of room for
another hearty breakfast with the
second mate. He observed the same
rule with regard to dinner and supper,
and the second mate stayed with him
bo that he enjoyed excellent health
excepting for the few moments of in
tervals, and arrived at Leghorn witli a
gain of avoirdupois.
In general it will bs found that ro
bust persons of good digestion are
more Hallie to seasickness than the
dyspeptic. Faith and inspiration have
much to do with the matter. We were
going out on a fishing excursion from
Hampton beach. A lady declined to
bo one of the party because she was
always seasick even in crossing a ferry.
1 told her of a sovereign remedy which
would be effectual for three hours, the
time we expected to lie in the boat,
acknowledging that it would last no
longer. This candid admission iiv
creased her faith in the skeins of red
yarn I tied about her wrists. Un
fortunately we were becalmed so that
we did not get ashore for live hours,
during the last two of which she wa
terribly ill, having been without a
qualm for the time of guarantee. It
is, perhaps, needless to say that the
remedy was invented on the spot. A
gentleman going upon an East India
voyage was troubled by seasickness on
the passage nine miles from the wharf
to Boston light. The ship anchored in
Nantucket Hoads to await a fair wind,
ami our friend turned into his berth
After lie In 1 slept an hour oj two ho
was awakened by a fellow-passenger
who said to him: "Well, wo are out
side the light, and she is slipping along
very smoothly.” Before he could get
on the deck to look at the ocean he
was so overcome by the enemy that he
required the steward's attention. The
ship had not moved from her anchor
age.
A sudden sense of danger will as
suredly put an end to seasickness.
Whatever may have been the condi
tion of the passengers of the City of
Berlin in this respect at the moment
when she struck the iceberg lam
confident that they were an active,
healthy set of |>ersons until they were
assured that there was no longer any
danger. Once when running down
the Gulf of Lyons before a mistrale,
all of the 500 French soldiers we ha 1
on board seemed to be at death's d<x>r
because of the rolling of the ship. At
last the water got the better of the
pumps, and rose nearly to the furnace
doors. All the hand buckets were
called into use, and canvas buckets
were improvised. The soldiers were
made to bail for their lives, and the
urgency of the situation soon got the
better of their stomachs.
Squelched.
“What's that you have In your
hand ?" asked Mrs. Gimlet of her hus
band as be brought home a roll of
manuscript.
“Brains, ina lam.” replied Mr. Gim
let, pompously. "Are you surprised
at that fact ?”
“Not in the least,” .she replied. “I
knew you didn’t carry them in your
head.”— N. Y. trrajdiia.
Ilndson Bay.
We come now to Lieutenant Gor
’ don’s observations upon the natural
history of the country, and first of all
as to its human inhabitants. These
are very scanty, and, with the excep
tion of a few white rnen at the traders’
post, are solely Eskimos. On the
north side of the strait they are quite j
: familiar with the ways of the white
- men, and seem to be highly pleased at ;
r the prospect of increased intercourse
- with them. Occasionally one is met !
• with who has mastered the English
> tongue, but not often. Many others ;
i understand well enough what is said
i to them in that language, although
t they can not be persuaded to speak
it. They are particularly fond of any
article of civilized clothing, and the '
i head-man at the North Bluff manifes- ;
ted no small pride at the possession of ;
i a stand-up collar, which he displayed
to the utmost advantage. In charac
ter they are docile, amiable, and will
ing to work. When landing the stores |
and coal at North Bluff they worked :
all day along with the men, carrying
heavy weights up over the rocks, and I
toiling away as cheerily and heartily as
could be desired, asking no other re
muneration than biscuits, of which [
i commodity they are inordinately fond, i
These people have no farinaceous food
of any kind, and, as a consequence, the
children arenot weaned tin til they reach
the age of three or four years. The ‘
families are small, there rarely being
more than two or three children, and,
although early marriages are the rule,
their numbers must be diminishing,
because signs of their presence wore
met with everywhere, while the people -
themselves were found at only three
six places along the straits, and there j
are only some five or six families
known between Cape Chudleigh and j
Nachvak. Along the Labrador coast
the Eskimos gather in small settlements
around the Moravian mission-stations.
Vain is considered the largest settle- |
merit, and its Eskimo population does '
net exceed two hundred souls. Those
at the stations are all educated, being !
able to road and write in their own
language, and according to the mis
sionaries, are regular attendants at
church, and very fond of music—two !
excellent and hopeful traits certainly.

Jutland.
The Lym-Fiord and its branches dl- ‘
vide northern Jutland into several is- ;
lands of Irregular shape. A triweekly
passenger steamer connects all the
ports, and there are a few towns of
importance which do not have railway
communication with the south. The >
character of this extreme end of J tit- =
land, as we saw it from the steamer on
the Lym- Fiord, varies from east to
west to correspond with the difference '
between the Caltegat and the i
North Seas. The former, a
well-sheltered, land-locked gulf,
washes pleasant beaches bord
ered by gentle slopes and sand I
dunes, while the boisterous North Sea
dashes its breakers at the foot of high
cliffs, and a stunted, hardy vegetation
clings with difficulty to the summits
of wind-swept hills. Trees nro scarce ‘
in all northern Jutland, although the
rest of the peninsula is well wooded |
and fertile. North of the Lym-Foird !
we saw scarcely enough trees to make
a day’s lire for au Adirondack sports
man. real bogs abound all over Jut-;
land, and the cutting and stacking of
peat is the only visible industry in a
very large territory. The churches are ;
the only noteworthy architectural feat
ures, and indeed it is on the churches
alone that may be found specimens of
the characteristic construction ami or
namentation which mark a distinct
artistic period in the history of Den
mark. Barren, inhospitable people
they are, too, most of them. The peo
ple, like the most of the Englanders,
have generally erected the houses of
worship on the most exposed point in
the landscape, where the winter blasts
and the summer sun make it alike un
comfortable the year round. A
weather-beaten stone church on a bar-
> ren hill-top in Jutland is, next to the
i sepulchral structures of the New Eng
land coast, the most forbidding of all
religious edifices.— Harpers.
Big Sheep Handies.
The wool growing interest of Mon-1
tana Is almost exclusively confined
'■ to the belt of rich grazing country ly
ing between the Yellowstone and Mis
, souri rivers and extending westward
to Fort Benton and the headwaters of
> the Teton and Sun rivers. The sheep
■ ranges proper are divided into flocks
, numbering from LtW to 25,000 head,
and men of small means are engaging
; in the business with certain profit to
r themselves -many of them starting
I with 1,000 head or less. The sheep
» growers are proving a more direct and
j positive benefit to Montana than the
9 cattle men. for the reason that more
s money is required to conduct the busi
» ness profitably, and it gives employ-
B ment to a much greater number of la-
B borers. Sheep require constant care
and attention, while cattle require lit
tle, and are allowed to roam at will
until the rounding-up season arrives.
r All the indications for 1885 point to a
’ season of unexampled prosperity for
f the stock growers of Montana.—St

CHANGED THEIR COLORS.
Phenomena Caused by Work
ing in a Soda-Factory.
A Boy with Green Hair, and a Manufac
tory Full of Bleached Blondes.
Phenomena in the matter of changes
; of the color of a man’s hirsute cover
| ing are not uncommon, but several
new phases of transformation have
I been recently discovered by an Exam-
I iner reporter, who was quite shocked
i to meet a brunette friend, who, in a
short interval of three months, had
i become metamorphosed into a blonde.
| His appearance was so altered that for
! some minutes the scribe was puzzled
to effect a recognition, and when he
| did, his first query was as to where it
I came from. The transformed one
| laughed, and tragically quoted Byron’s
Ines:
“My hair is gray, but not by years,
Nor turned it white
Ina single night,
As men’s have done from sudden fears.*’
“These lines might apply to me,” he
continued, “if you substitute blonde
-or gray, but the cause is not immure
i ment In an island prison, as it was in
the case of Byron’s hero.”
"Who whitewashed you, then?” de
manded the reporter.
; “It’s a condition of my new job.”
“Your new job?”
“Yes, I’ve been at work In a soda
I factory for the past three months, and
hey don’t allow anything but blondes
iround where they make saleratus and
i ‘hings like that.”
“Why don’t they?”
"Because carbonate of soda and the
; alkalies that are used won’t permit of
; t. They float around in the atraos
ihere and bleach a man’s hair whether
| he likes it or not. Down in the factory
i we are all blondes but one, and his
■air is a lovely sea-water green. It
as red originally, and then white, and
* iow the combination is at work, and
; ’he two colors aro so jealous that they
ave painted him green.”
The reporter did not believe it, but a
< trip to South San Francisco convinced
’ Im, and, with the picture of a stout,
■.ealthy lad, with pale green hair, in
; iis mind, he returned to treat of the
I vonder in a scientific manner. The
victim of the descent of Ireland’s na
i ional hue stated that when he first
•ntered the works his hair was a bright
..üburn, ami that it began to fade af
*r he had been at work handling
chlorinated soda for about a fortnight,
I I'he transformation was entirely un
jlicited and undesired on his part,
md he heartily wished that his hair
■vas loss chameleon-like in hue, so that
I le could tell whether he was blonde or
runette. All over the factory the op-
I nratlves were blonde with one other
exception, and that was in the case of
■ man whose hair and eye brows were
he color of an insufficiently burned
brick. They were brown when he en
ered the shop, he said. The hair of
i he remainder ranged from tow to
; itrong yellow, and the foreman said
! hat four-fifths of them were brunettes
when they went to work. Only one
nan escaped the change, and he was
>aldheaded. After the inspection of
I the bleached ones was completed, the
reporter sought out a celebrated ca
! Hilary artist and held converse with
aim concerning the changes he had
just left.
"Oh, yes,” assented the "Doctor,”
i "that is common enough. Everybody
; tnows how our young ladies bleach
| iheir hair when blondes are fashiona
; file. They do it with various alkalis, !
;of which soda and potash are the
I foundations, but they do it voluntari
y, while your cases do not seem to ap
i predate the change.”
“Does bleaching affect the growth !
if the hair. Doctor?”
“Not always. The growth in the '
distances you have mentioned was ,
rather Inclined to be thick and bushy,
was it not?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that is often the case. The
oigmentum nigrum, as the coloring
natter in the hair is technically
termed, can be done away with with
out destroying the growth, but injuri
es ingredients often enter into bleach
ing compounds and kill it.”
“Strong emotions extract the color
ing matter very often, 1 believe?”
“Yes, such cases are also common. ;
Fear, rage, grief, or any violent pas
-ion may cause a transformation in a
few days, or even hours, but in such '
eases the vigor of the growth is unnu- ;
paired.”
“Will anything cause it to resume
its former hue?"
“No treatment except dyeing.
There are hundreds of dyes, but all are
bound to have more or less nitrate of
silver in them, and an expert is neces
sary to the application or the scalp
will suffer. Dyed mustaches are a
great cause of catarrhal affections, and ;
' constant dyeing often causes insanity,
softening of the brain and eventually
; death”—Nan Francisco Examiner.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Kliade for Bccm.
Farmers who attempt to keep a few j
hives of bees seldom have very good ;
luck unless some member of the family j
makes the care of the honey gatherers a
specialty. If it is the duty of no one
person about the place to look after the
bees, they are pretty certain to be ne
glected, and the result is invariably
either a total loss or a dwindling away
of the bees until there is not enough left
to be worth the least attention. One
mistake which we have frequently no
ticed, where bees are kept by persons
who do not study the habits and needs
of these insects, is in placing the hives
where they will be exposed to the direct
rays of the sun during the very hottest
weather in summer. Perhaps the hives
! are placed in a row on stands covered
with boards to keep off the rain, but al
most invariably these stands face the
south, and there is no protection against
the hot rays of the sun. The stand and
cover are all well enough, but the hives
should be shaded during the hottest
weather in summer, as the bees cannot
work when the beat is excessive.— New
York San.

Professor Tracy advocates the use of
ground tobacco stems as an insecticide for
striped beetles.
Professor Lozenby reports that pyre
thrum of Persian insect powder has
proved the most effective of anything
yet used at the Ohio station for cabbage
worms.
The American Cultivator says that the
cut-worm has an aversion to saltpeter,
and that a solution of one tablespoonful
to a gallon of water has so far proven a
sure preventive. It is applied with a dip
per ami pouted on the plants and all
around the hill.
Ewes that have lost their lambs, ex
cept by accident, should be fed a little
grain now and turned off early for the
butcher It needs very little grain to
fatten them on grass, and though they
aro often fattened on grass alone, they
will pay for a little grain as well as any
stock the farmer keeps. The poorer
sheen und all over five years old should
be fattened ami sold.
A very good feed either for green
forage or grain is made by sowing oats
and peas together. Where field peas
aro sown alone the vines get down and
become moldy. A few oats sown at the
same time give them needed support,
and what oats are grown are so much
clear grain Oats and peas cut green
make an excellent ensilaging crop.
It used to be an old joke with farmers
that more corn grew on crooked than
on straight rows, simply because they
were greater in length. In the best
farming districts straight rows of corn
are now the rule and crooked ones the
exception The use of horse cultivators
in tilling corn makes the straightness of
rows more necessary than when most of
the work was done by hand labor. With
straight rows the cultivator teeth may be
run so close to the corn that few or no
weeds will remain to be removed by
hand.
If a farmer wishes to get the full ben
efit of manure on hrs orchard, and quick
ly, too, let him draw out a load to every
tree that shows promise of fruit so soon
as blossoms can be seen, spread it as
widely as the tree extends on either side,
and If possible it is better to leave it on
the surface. The crops that can ire
grown under a bearing apple tree are not
worth the labor of cultivating and har
vesting. They cost in injury to the tree’s
productiveness more than the best crops
grown in the open field are worth.
Professor Burril), of Illinois, says the
amount of water exhaled from the leaves
; of trees in dry, hot weather is prodigious
—vastly greater than any one not ac
quainted with tl’.e results of experiments
upon the subject supposes. As near as
! can be made out from investigat ions upon
small plants in pots, a large sized forest
i tree throws into the atmosphere every
I favorable summer day about fifty barrels
of water, counting forty gallons to the
barrel. One apple tree twenty years old
may bo estimated to be one-fifth as large,
end to exhale ten barrels of water each
clear and breezy day of June, July and
August. This seems incredible, but it is
not above the accurately determined
facts with potted plants of many kinds.

A Gifted Parrot.
The venerable Father Vygen owns a
parrot that is a linguist, musician, tele
. phone operator, gymnast and contortion
• ist. The bird will speak Irish, Dutch,
( Spanish, English and French, and learn
a lesson in any of them with remarkable
facility. Music charms him. He essays
to sing often, and reproduces so well the
sound of the human voice that one can
tell whose voice he imitates. His voice
and humor are generally best in the
morning. He mimics the domestic aui-
I mals, canary bird, cat and rooster; whis
tles for the little poodle, and kindly calls
the Newfoundland dog by a pet name.
The names of the family are often on his
tongue. His friendship is perpetually
particular for a certain individual, and
his fits of revenge very violent in self
efense. He commands, exhorts and
denounces as if endowed with human in'
telligence; has a somewhat regular hour
lor retiring, manifesting his desire there
for by a screech of impatience. He
undertakes to advise children regarding
the propriety of going to school, and
using a handkerchief when necessary.
If the indolent youngsters were as as
siduous in their application as this
parrot, they would be bright scholars.
Although he seemingly distinguishes
where there is a difference of rank, he
has very little reverence for the most
distinguished in church and state, and
naturally has no “human respect” At
times he assumes a meditative mien,
especially after active and talkative
scenes. He takes great delight in
whistling the raise-up-the curtain, and
the hurry-up-with the-play gamut com
mon in the opera houses and halls;
apparently knows good from evil, and is
quick to declare which quality exists in
■ •ertain things. He puts a period to any
current nonsense by au imperative
“Stop I” appreciates the benefit of a
hearty laugh when in the proper mood ;
holds prolonged conversations by tele
phone and otherwise, and manifests a
love for the almighty dollar on meet
occasions. The bird is wonderful above
his kind.
Venezuela’s Climates.
There are three zones, three climates,
within the limits of Venezuela, from cold
too intense to be borne by man to the
greatest degree of heat known to the
earth’s surface. The alpine zone lies to
the west among the snow-capped sum
mits of the Andes, where are plains,
sandy deserts called paranios, swept by
blasts which chill the blood ; but there
is good grass aud plenty of shelter, and
the ranges for cattle are said to equal
those of Montana. The next zone is from
five to eight thousand feet above the sea,
covered with forests of noble timber aud
some of the most nutritious grasses that
grow. This zone will produce wheat
and corn like the plains of Kansas, and
President Guzman Banco is trying to
encourage the cultivation of cereals by
placing au enormous duty on flour and
prohibiting the importation of wheat or
corn. The consequence is that corn
meal is eno of the greatest luxuries the
people have and it costs the average
housekeeper as much for bread as for
meat. The third zone is the tropical,
where sugar, coflee, spices, and fruits of
all sorts are produced in the greatest
abundance. The Venezuelans claim that
theirs is the only land where coffee aud
corn, sugar and apples, bananas and
wheat grow in the same soils. From the
Amies mountains flow innumerable
streams, those on the western slope form
ing the river and lake of Maracaibo, and
those of the eastern slope the mighty
Orinoco, one of the greatest rivers in the
world, which drains a country as large
ns the United States aud pours a vol
ume of two hundred and forty cubic
inches of water every second into the sea.
It inundates its valley like the Nile, the
difference between high water iu the
rainy season and low water in the dry
being forty feet. Ihis inundated region
is said to bo very rich and prolific, but
naturally given to fevers of all sorts.
A Sad Death.
In Philadelphia recently at a coroner’s
inquest over the body of a child, the jury
returned a verdict that death was caused
by the administration of a patent cough
syrup, containing morphia. Dr. Sam’l K.
Cox. of Washington, states that not one
cough medicine in ten is free from this
objection. After careful analyses and
practical tests he endorses Red Star
Cough Cure as being purely vegetable,
absolutely free from opiates, poisons and
narcotics. He regards it as a most
happy aud valuable discovery.

Language of Hand-Shaking.
In the performance of this social cus
tom, personal jieculiarities may bo easily
noted. Who would expect to get a
handsome donation—or any donation at
all—from a man who will give two fin
gers to be shaken, and keeps the others
lient as upon an “itching palm?” The
hand eoldly held out to lie shakeri and
drawn away again as soon as decently
may be, indicates a cold, selfish charac
ter, while the hand which seeks vours
cordially, and unwillingly relinquishes
its warm clasp, gives token of a warm
disposition, and a heart full of sympathy
for humanity. How much that is in the
heart can be made to express itself
through the agency of the fingers!
Who, having once experienced it, has
forgotten the feeling conveyed by the
eloquent pressure of the hand from a
dying friend when the tongue has ceased
to ;peak ? If a grasp is warm, ardent
and vigorous, so is the disposition. If it
is cool, formal and without emotion, so
is the character. If it is magnetic and
animating, the disposition is the same.

The Hon. John Kelly, the head and front
of Tammany Hall, a man of strict integrity,
an indefatigable worker, early at his office,
late to leave, so burdened with business that
regular meals were seldom known by him,
with mind in constant tension and energies
steadily trained, finally broke down.
The wonder is that lie did not sooner give
way. An noneat man in all things else, he
acted unfairly with his physical resources.
He was ever dawing upon this bank without
ever depositing a collateral. The account
overdrawn, the bank suspends and both are
now in the hands of medical receivers.
It is not work that kills men. It is irregu
larity of habits and mental worry. No man
in good health frets at his work. Bye and
bye when the bank of vigor suspends, these
tnen will wonder how it all happened, and
they will keep wondering until their dying
day unless, perchance, some candid physician
or interested friend will point out to them
how by irregularity, by excessive mental
effort, by constant worry and fret, by plung
ing in deeper than they had a right to go,
they have produced that loss of nervous en
ergy which almost invariably expresses itself
in a deranged condition of the kidneys and
liver, for it is a well known fact that the
poison which the kidneys and liver should
remove from the blood, if left therein, soon
knocks the life out of the strongest and most
vigorous man or woman. Daily building up
of these vital organs by so wonderful and
highly reputed a specific as Warners safe
cure, is the only guarantee that our business
men can have that their strength will be
equal to the labors daily put upon them.
Mr. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn,
indicating, as we have said, a break down of
nerve force. His case should be a warning to
others, who, pursuing a like course, will cer
tainly reach a like result.— The Sunday Her
