Damascus.
Like all Eastern cities, the interior
is disappointing. The stre*ets are dusty
and narrow, and the effect of the shab
by houses and dilapidated walls is rath
er that of a collection of villages hud
dled together than of a large and impor
tant city. Our first call was made at
an excellent hotel kept by a Greek.
Its court-yards, with fountains playing
and with large orange-trees shadow
ing the whole place, looked so enticing,
its myrtles and jessamines and marble
floors so cool, and its bedrooms so clean
and comfortable, that we felt quite sor
ry it had not been arranged that we
should stay there, instead"of pitching
our tents in one of the far-famed gar
dens in Damascus. From the hotel we
made a progress .through the pictur
esque bazaars. Here they are covered-
in buildines, swarming with people in
every variety of. Oriental costume.
Turks, Syrians, Maronlts, and Druses
of the town jostle each other. Now a
Bedouin of the desert rides by on a
beautiful Arab mare, with his long,
pointed lance at rest, followed by other
Bedouins on foot and in rags; unsuc
cessful robbers probably. We wander
ed about for some time, greatly amus
ed by looking at a crowd assembled to
await the prince of Prussia’s arrival.
At last we sauntered on to our tents,
but a great disappoinment awaited us in
the appearance of the garden in which
thej r had been pitched. It3 roses were
over the grass looked parched and d us-
ty, and the Abana flowed low and slug
gishly in its bed But it was too late
to alter now, so there was nothing for
it except to dress and go and dine at
the hotel. We made a. droll cavalcade,
on horseback, the gentlemen with
loaded pistols, and the attendants, who
carried lanterns, bristling with weap
ons. The table d'hote was rather bare
of guests that night, for tlic diligence
which plies between here and Beyrouth
and brings the travelers in time for
dinner, did not arrive at ail, having
been required for the use of the Frince
of Prussia, us it is the only carriage in
all Syria. We returned to the tents in
the same melodramatic procession, and
had, besides, four soldiers to guard the
tents during the night. Friday is the
Mohammedan Sabbath, and they make
it market-day as well, so that the Bed"'
ouins of the desert, who come from
long distances, may combine their tem
poral and spiritual duties comfortably,
and do their marketing and go to the
mosque on the same day. The streets
were even more crowded than last
night, with varied and wonderful cos
tumes, and so closely packed that it
was difficult to make one’s way through
them. In one corner stood a Bedouin
Anazeli, of the tribes from near Pal
myra, bargaining lor a cane to make
a spear, his goat’s-hair cloak, with it’s
broad black and white stripes, hang
ing from Ills stalwart shoulders An
other of the tribe, bard by, seeming to
be doing his best to 6ell a horse, while
others again rode by with an abstracted
air, the graceful mares they bestrode

Groups of Turkish, Jewish, or Chris
tian women made their purchases with
quite as much earnestness and gesticu
lation as housewives nearer home,
while their lords and masters lounged
near, probably keeping an eye on the
domestic expenditures, but apparently
only intent on buying sweetmeats from
some of the many venders. There
were no Franks except ourselves.
“I’li Kuu Him.”
Recently the Chief of Polico was
waited upon at the City Hall, Toledo,
by a stranger about twenty-five years
old, who said his name was Dayton and
that he wanted protection.
“You see,” he explained to the chief,
“on Wednesday night I’m engaged to
attend a saloon opening and help se
cure a crowd by doing a number of
startling tricks. There’s a feller named
McManus, and he swears he’ll make me
trouble. He thinks I’m the man who
hit him with a brick one night last
spring, and he’s bound to get even.”
“.Oh, I guess he won’t bother you,’
replied the chief.
“Bur, he will, and l know it. \oi*
see I’m going to swallow a sword as
the first trick. Well, when I get it ail
swallowed he means to grab the handle
and turn it around and shake it as hard
as he can and try and burst a blood
vessel. Isn’t that the meanest thing
you ever heard of! Sure we are about
to return to the barbaric ages?”
“I guess not,” replied the chief.
“Well, I guess not either. The next
trick is blowing streams of fire from
my mouth. This trick never fails to
win the admiration of the assembled
multitudes, and cheer after cheer greet s
the daring hero as the living flames
die away to soft music. Now, what do
you suppose McManus means to do
when I start to perform that trick?”
“I hardly know.”
“Why, he means to be armed with a
big syringe and a pail of water, and
the minute the flames appear he will
squirt them out! Did the dark ages
ever furnish a meaner soul than Mc
Manus carries behind his vest? Was S
a more malagnnnt revenge ever con
ceived by a Roman assassin.”
“I’ll have to see him,” mused the
chief as his mind grasped the whole
wicked plot.
“Uf course you will! And that isn’t
all he means to do. The third trick is
called “Life and Death.” 1 fall dead.
My pulse and heart cease to bear. The
pallor of death comes over my face and
hands, and the audience stand around

low, This trick has been known to
cause strong men to faint away, and the
guilty have been so overcome that they
have confessed on the spot to highway
robbery and arson. For seven long
minutes I seem to be dead, and then I
gasp, sigh, open my eyes and return
to this c\>ld and cruel world to receive
the plaudits of the relieved atid charm
ed concourse. What does that demon
McManus intend to do here?”
“Rob the corpse?” queried the chief.
“No, not that. He who steals my
purse steals trash. No sir! That hyena
in human form means to have one of
the csroners handy, and the minute J
die he’s going to have ail inquest on the
corpse and instruct the jury to bringin
a verdict of: ‘Died tf wind on the
brain!' Did you—uid you ever—did
you ever in all your life know of a more
fiendish plot to ruin a young man wiio
has the perfect confidence of the pub
lic and is to receive four beer-checks
and a dollar and a half for the perform

“No, T never did,” solemnly replied
the chief as fie rose up, “and if Mc
Manus appears withju a mile of the per
formance I’ll run him inf”
Under the Axe.
The jailer of Moabit prison in Beilin, en
tered on the 24th of September, 1850, a
dark cell, in which a tali man, with long
black hair, and a pair of restless dark eyes
in a face by no means unprepossessing, was
chained to the wall.
“Sefeloge!” said the jailer, in a tremu
lous voice, “Will you be a man? The
prisoner looked at him with aa expression
of terror. He muttered a few incoherent
words. “To-morrow at day-break,” pro
ceeded the jailor, “all will be over.”
The prisoner sprang to liis feet. The
clanking of his chains caused the jailer to
shudder.
“You mean that I shall not be among
the land of the living to-morrow morning
at daybreak?” he gasped stepping close up
to the jailer. The latter nodded his head.
“You will now be prepared for the scaf
fold, Sefeloge,” he said to the prisoner.
Sefeloge uttered a cry of torror, and stag
gered back to his humble couch.
‘‘I’m not prepared to die,” he moaned,
bursting into tears. “Is there no hope ?”
“None. He will be here directly. ”
“Who?”
“The headsman. He will cut off your
hair.”
A convulsive tremor passed through the
prisoner’s frame. He began to utter heart
rending cries. At this moment the door
of the cell opened. A middle-aged man of
very resolute mien stepped in. “You can
leave us alone,” said the newcomer to the
jailer who quietly withdrew. And now
commenced a truly revolting scene. The
prisoner shrank from the stranger in mute
despair.
“You had better be as docile as possible.
I am the headsman, said the stranger. “Sit
down by my side.”
“No! No!” shrieked the ill-fated pris
oner, “I am not ready to die yet.”
“You shall not die yet,” rejoined the
headsman. “You will be dcapitated to
morrow.”
“No! No!
The headsman dragged him by his chain
toward him. The prisoner endeavored
frantically to resist him, but the headsman’s
great strength enabled him to overcome the
resistance of the struggling wretch. While
the latter was wildly clanking his chains,
the headsman cut off the collar of his coat
with a small, but very sharp knife. The
shirt collar was removed, and with a pair of
sharp scissors the hair of the prisoner was
removed, the whole operation consuming
but a few minutes. In the meantime
the prisoner, whom the touch ^ of the
cold steel caused to shudder again and
again, uttered loud yells, groans and impre
cations.
“Oh, that my bullet had not missed the
heart of that cruel king!” he dually ex
claimed.
“Silence!” thundered the headsman.
“Another such remark and I shall have to
gag you!”
“Down with King Frederick William
the Fourth !” cried the prisoner defiantly.
The next second the headsman had fas
tened a small iron gag in the mouth of his
victim. The latter tried to cry out, but was
ible tr produce only a sort of low gurgling
sound. The headsman then commenced to
feel the prisoner’s neck with his hand. lie
nodded his head with an air of satisfaction.
“That’s a good neck,” he murmured.
Then lie left the cell. The doomed man
was no other than a would-be regicide, Se
feloge, who had deliberately fired at the
breast of King Frederick William the
Fourth, of Prussia. But his bullet had re
bounded, the king wearing a mail-clad
vest. What Sefeloge’s motive was in at
tempting to shoot king has never been defi
nite!}’ ascertained, lie seemed to be a sort
of crack-brained utopist, and a number of
eminent physicians pronounced him insane.
Efforts were made to induce the king to
commute the sentence of death that had
been passed upon Sefeloge. But Frederick
William turned a deaf ear to these remon
strances. His reason had been unsettled by
the revolutionary commotions of 1848, and
there can be hut little that, in 1850, he was
already insane. Thus a crowned madman

Until midnight Sefeloge remained in his cell
heavily ironed and gagged. Then his fet
ters were removed, and a sumptuous repast
was served up to him. On the eve of their
executions, Prussian culprits are treated
with great liberality. They gave him also a
bottle of port wine, which he drank so rap
idly that he was soon completely intoxica
ted. And now the doomed regicade be
came horribly hilarious. He made fun of
himself, and joked about his impending
death. He demanded more wine, and it
was given to him. At last he fell into a
sort of stupor, and passed a few hours in
fitful slumber.
At five o’clock in the morning the heads
man shook him by the shoulder. Sefeloge
uttered a cry of alarm. Upon recognising
the headsman lie turned deadly pale. “It’s
time !” said the headsman. The prisoner
threw himself upon the stone fioor of his
cell, and rolled on it, a prey to indescriba
ble anguish. His appeals for mercy be
came deafening, and in this condition had
to be carried to the scaffold. There he be
came almost superhumanly strong, and for
six minutes the headsman and his attend
ants were unable to drag him to the block
upon which he was to end his life. The
witnesses of the shocking scene on the scaf
fold were terribly excited. One of the
clerks of the court fainted. Others had to
leave the scaffold in hot haste. Sefeloge’s
yells and roars were so deafening that they
were heard at a considerable distance. At
last he was fastened to the block. He- ut
tered a last cry, when the headsman’s axe
descended on iiis neck, and a thick stream
if blood rose from his trunk. He was dead.
A nuisance that troubled Europe fifty
years ago is beginning to attract attention
here—that is, putting alum in the bread we
The bread must be “light” that it
may be digested; that is, it must he filled
by the well-known cells we are accustomed
to see in it. 'Where beer or ale is brewed
those who understand healthy bread-making
procure yeast, which “lightens” the bread
better than any substitute, and is wholesome.
Where yeast is not readily to be obtained,
“baking-powders” are resorted to, and out
of them come mischief. Bicarbonate of
soda and cream of tartar, or tartaric acid,
arc the usual constituents of a good baking-
powder. Cream of tartar sells at sixty
cents to eighty-five cents a pound. This
high price has led “cheap baking powders”
to be made of alum as a substitute for some
or all of tin* cream of tartar. Alum will
make bread look whiter, so that bakers can
make inferior flour salable as bread by its
use; and they use it, in some places calling
it “rock,” so that no inadvertent expression
may let “outsiders” know that alum is used.
Alum is an injurious article to the human
constitution in large quantities, or in small
quantities often repeated. It is the small
quantities, taken every meal, that do the
mischief in bread. Alum is cheap—three
cents a pound—to the pocket, but it takes
what is so saved out of the stomach and
takes it with fearful interest. Alum is an
astringent, and is used by dyers and others
as such. Taken frequently on the human
stomach, it produces heartburn, indigestion,
griping, constipation, dyspepsia, and kin
dred troubles resulting from irritation of the
mucous membrane, produced by the astrin
gent properties of alum. All these are nice
tilings to be inflicted by the bread eaten
morning, noon and evening. To young
children, growing girls, persons of weekly
frame and sedentary occupations, this alum
bread is poison most especially. If the
reader wants to know something of alum,
let him suck a lump of it, notice its effect
upon the mouth, which is something like
that of an unripe persimmon; then let him
reflect how it acts upon the tender, delicate
coats of the stomach. Dr. Henry A. Mott,
the celebrated analytical chemist, analyzed
twenty-three of the baking powders most in
use, and found alum in all but one. ‘ It is
time we took measures to stop this bread
poisoning that kills our little ones and per-,
petuates dyspepsia and cholera.
“People never cough after taking
my medicine,” advertises a doctor. Is
it so fatal as that?”
AGRICULTURE.
Pumpkins for Cows.—This very
cheap and valuable food for stock is
perhaps not estimated highly enough
by dairymen. Prof. F. R. Storer, of
the Bussy Institution, made a thorough
analysis "ot pumpkins and squashes in
1877. The average of his analyses of
the whole pumpkin Is about ten to
twelve per cent, of dry substance. It
has a large percentage of water, but
not more than the turnip or fodder
corn, and it is comparatively rich in
albuminoids. This vegetable is an im
portant auxiliary in producing milk,
but some dairymen have got a preju
dice against it from the effect of the
seeds when given in too large a quanti
ty. The seeds have a diuretic effect,
operating on the kidneys, and this has
sometimes lessened the flow of milk;
but if a small portion of the seeds are
removed the danger is wholly avoided.
And probably the cases of injury have
been occasioned from feed ing more than
the due portion of the seeds. Thirty
pounds of pumpkins fed to each cow
per day will increase the yield and im
prove the quality of the milk, but more
than this should" not be given. They
are very cheap lood, since it requires
very little labor to raise them. From
two to three tons may be grown, with
a good yield of corn per acre requiring
little more than placing the seeds at a
distance of twenty feet apart, in alter
nate rows of corn after the corn is up.
The cultivation of the corn will be suf
ficient. attention to the pumpkin cron,
and this will often be w orth as much
as ten to fifteen bushels of corn per
acre. This crop is appropriate to the
whole country and will repay the at
tention given to it. Pumpkins are a
good fattening food for cattle, sheep
and hogs. They are a good food for
pigs, serving to counteract the heating
effect of ‘corn. They are easily kept
from freezing and may be led in cold
weather. They are cheaply gathered
and stored, costing much less than any
root crop, according to value.
A Bushel of Corn.—When a bushel
of corn is spoken of it means, or should
mean a bushel of the grain. It does
not imply a bushel of cobs nor yet a
bushel of stalks, but of shelled corn or
its equivalent In weight of corn in the
ear. Practical men allow, as a rule,
that a bushel of ears»of corn weighs 70
to 75 pounds, according to the variety.
But the only accurate test in any given
case is to shell a sample bushel, and then
weigh grains and cobs separately. If
the grain weighs 5G pounds and the
cob 14 pounds, then 70 pounds of ears
will be for that crop equivalent to a
bushel of shelled corn. Another crop,
if of dlfferonl variety, even though
grown in the next field, might be found
on testing the matter to require 75
pounds of ears, or possibly more, to
make a bushel. A bushel of ears, how
ever, w hether the quantity is deter
mined by weighing or measuring, can
hardly be said to be u trustworthy
test of tlic amount of grain, as the re
sult of such cases varies, not only ac
cording to size of the ears, but accord
ing to the manner of piling them in
the measure. A bushel of corn in most
of the Sistes, as fixed by law, is 50
pounds of grain, though in New York
it is made 58 pounds, and in some other
localities 00 pounds.
In locating an apiary there are sever
al points that should be considered.
Perhaps water comes first, because it
is something we cannot get along with
out. Tnere is a great quantity used by
the bees on a hot day to keep the combs
from melting down, besides what is
used in feeding broods in the latter part
of the season. When the wind blows
from the east, hot and dry, bees have
been known to use a pound a day to the
hive, allowing a sufficient quantity for
evaporation. A bee’s life is governed,
we might say, by the work it does and
if it has to fly a long way for water, it
cannot for its life bring the honey to
its downer it could if the wa or was
handy. Wet sand is the best for bees
to suck water from, lor none are
drowned.
Health of Horses.—The health and
comfort of horses have of late years
been greatly improved by the better
construction 'of stables. They ere
made more roomy and lofty, and pro
vided with means of thorough ventila
tion. In many new stables lofts are
kept well above the horses’ heads aim
ample shafts are introduced to convey
away foul air. By perforated bricks
and gratings under the mangers and
elsewhere round the walls, and also by
windows and ventilators, abundance of
pure air is secured for the horses; while
being introduced in moderate amount
and from various directions, it comes
in without draught. Too much draught
is almost an unknown stable luxury.
Corn should not be neglected in tlic
hurry of harvest. Frequent cultivation
hastens growth and the maturing of
the crop. To see the piffereuce, leave
a row or two uncultivated. Much hard
work later in the season may he avoid
ed by a little work with the cultivator,
and by keeping tlic w’eeds dow’n.
Pear Trees.—Wood ashes make an
excellent fertilizer for pear trees.
Mixed coal and wood ashes may also
he applied with advantage. Ground
bones are better for fruit trees of all
kinds than fermenting manure.
The Onion Maggot.—Ashes or salt
petre if applied in time will hold this
pest in check.
BOMESTIC.
Care of the feet.—Many of tin
colds so prevalent at this season conn
mence at the feet, therefore to keey
these extremities warm is to effect an
insurance against the almost intermina*
ble list of disorders which spring ouj
of “a slight cold.” First, never

A humped-shouldered old man, followed
by a dog which seemed to have fasted for a
year past, entered a Woodward avenue
butcher-shop the other day, and the man
made some inquiries about the price of
smoked hams. The butcher saw the dog,
of course, and who ever saw a butcher who
didn’t want to know’ all about a dog ?
“Is that a good coon. dog i” asked the
butcher as he patted the shy canine on his
head.
“Oh. no—he’s a trick dog,” answered the
owner.
“Is. eh ? What tricks can he do ?”
“Oh, a dozen or two. lie has one very
peculiar trick, though. Would you like to
see him do it ?”
“I would that. What is it ?”
The man directed the butcher to put a
pound of nice beefsteak on a sheet of clean
brown paper and place the whole on the
door-step. He then said to his dog, which
had watched matters very keenly:
“Now, Cato, I am about to call upon you
to perform a trick. You have never gone
back on me yet, and I have perfect confi
dence in you now. Cato, do you see that

Cato saw it. He walked over to it,
seized it in liis mouth, and* as he went up
the street it was hard to tell dog from dust.
“Hum! yes!” muttered the butcher;
“do you call that a trick ?”
“I do,” confidently replied the man.
“Well, it’s a blasted mean one I”
“Just so—just so,” said the man. “You
couldn’t expect such a lookiug dog as that
to be around playing tricks on a guitar or a
jewsharp, could you? I’ll see you later
about the hams.”
Tlic False Notions
Ex at in the minds of many otherwise intelli
gent people as to tlie requirements of a disor-
■ie:cd atomach or liver. Jhe stval owiug of
niiua oua aud powerful drags is the way to
encourage, not to cu e dyspepsia and fiver
complaint. Nor can a constipated or other
wise disordered condit on of the bow6la be
remedied by similar treatment. That agreea
ble and thorough stomachic and aperient,
Hoate’.ter'a i iiters, which is the reverse of un
pleasant, and never produces violent effects,
is far preferable to medio nea of the class re
ferred to. It infuses new vigor into a failing
physique, cheers the mind while it strengthens
the body, and institutes a complete reform in
the action of the disordered stomach, bowels,
or liver, f ppotito aud sleep are both pro
moted, uterine and kidney affections greatly
benefited by its use. It is indeed a compre
hensive and meritorious preparation, free from
drawbacks of any kind.

A Wise Deacon.—“Deacon Wilder,
I want you to tell me how you kept

sick so much, and have had the doctors
visiting us so often.”
“Bro. Taylor, the answer is very
easy. I used Hop Bitters in time;kept
mv family well and saved the doctor
bills. Three dollars’ worth of it kept
us well and able to work all the time.
I’ll warrant it has cost you and tlie
neighbors one to two hundred dollars
apiece to keep sick the same time.”
“Deacon, I’ll use your medicine here
after.”

Dow Patty Soothed tbo Baby.
She was not more than a baby herself,
the little four-year-old, hut Baby Hairy was
her especial pet, and one day they were
having a fine play upstairs. He was just
big enough to toddle about, hut not large
enough to get up or down stairs alone.
Their mamma brought him up but when
she was ready to go down she bad her arms
full of things, and could not take him then.
“Stay with Patty a few minutes longer,”
she said, “and I will come and get you.”
But Baby Harry lifted up his voice and
went so loud that Patty’s tender heart was
touched.
"TH carry you down, dear.” she said,
“come with Patty; ” and she led him to
the head of the stairs.
Going down one step, she took l.im in
her arms. He was almost as heavy as she,
30 you can guess what happened next.
Bump! Bump! Thump! Thump!
Scream! Bang!
Mother rushed to the foot of the stairs in
time to pick up two very sorry-looking chil
dren, well bruised from humping each other
and the stairs all the way dowu.
It took a long time and a good many
lumps of sugar to make them forget that
unlucky trip down stairs.

“Lau-jh aud Grow Fat.**
This ancient bit of advice is well
enougn for “spare” people, but how
about those that are already too fat?
what is to become of them? Sit still,
and I’ll tell you. After many experi
ments, extending through months of

more painful, more evaeperatiog. discouraging
and persistent than Files, especially to afflicted
mortals who have tried lotions, ointments,
pills, electuaries and all manner of nostrums
and doctors’ stuff, internally and externally,
without relief. What wonder is it that half a
million redeemed sufferers should shout ho
sannas over the discovery of Anakesis, an in
fallible cure for Piles? This medical miracle,
so simple as to excite wonder that wise doctors
have not thought of it before, so prompt aud
certain in its action as to secure for itself the
title of infallible, so scientific and rational iu
its combination of poultice, instrument and
medicine, as to render the ultimate cure of 95
per cent, of average cases of piles sure, is not
an accidental discovery, but the solution of a
problem by the study and experience of Dr.
Si la bee, an accomplished and distinguished
physician of 40 years’ standing. It has stood
the teat of 20 years’ experience; over half a
million of sufferers bate used it with success,
and doctors of all schools now prescribe it in
the;r prcctice, and it is pronounced to be the
nearest to an infallible core for piles vet dis
covered. Anakesis, Dr. 8. Silabee’s External
Pile Itomedy, is sold by druggists everywhere.

Popular Science.—Richet finds that
the presence of oxygen facilitates the
fermentation of miik. Up to 44 deg. C,
a rise of temperature intensifies fermen
tation ; but from that point up to 52 deg.
C. there is no modification, and above
this latter point tlie fermentation slack

mentation.
Chevrul proposes a new test for Dal
tonism, or color blindness. One-lialf
of a disk is painted with a certain color
and the other half is left white. Tlie
disk is then turned at a speed of from
00 to 100 revolutions per minute, and
the color complementary to that which
had been painted on one-half appears
on the white half. Tlie ability to de
termine the complementary color con
stitutes the test.
Boudet, of Paris, secures an electric

of paper folded in the shape ot a V. 1
used as a transmitter. The receiving
telephone has the diaphragm and cover
removed, and a spring is fixed at one
end on the wood and at the other end to
a small piece of soft iron resting ou the
magnet. A light bamboo, with whale-
point, is attached to the spring, and

G. E. Davis, in dealing with the sub
ject of boiler incrustatious In a recent
paper, says that many nostrums had
been brought forward as preventive:
which were absolutely worthless, if not
positively injurious. After many tri
als, he was convinced that as all boiler-
scales were principally composed of
sulphate of lime, tribasic phosphate of
soda, the “tripsa” of commerce, was the
best of all preparations, as it absorbed
the carbonic acid in the water, and‘ act
ing on the sulphate ol lime, precipita
ted it with the mud to the bottom ol' the
boiler, whence the deposit can be easi
ly removed.
A proposal to use compressed air in
stead of gunpowder for blasting in
mines has been brought forward in
Euglaud. The plan is to employ air at
a pressure of upward 8,0.0 pounds to

is indicated by the result of some tests
recently made in the Wigan collieries.
Researches on the ultra-violet limit
of the solar spectrum have been con
ducted by E. Corine. The extent of
tlie sprecf.runi varied with the altitude
of the sun, proving that the limitation

utmost limit he was able to reach, and
this only on two days at noon, corres
ponded to the wave length 293.

Locomotives ] have been successfully
employed in France for the purpose of
tuning can-1] boats. They arc smuli,
not weighing over four or five tons, and
run on a track laid down about four
feet from the edge of the canal, drawing
tlie boats to a cable some three hundred
feet in length. The speed attainable
without injury to bout or canal is at
least twice and probably three times as
great as that furnished by liorse power;
and only one man is needed to manage
the engine. There is reason to believe
that towing locomotives wiii ultimately
come into regular use on some of the
chief canals in France.

A Die Headed Boy.
George Albert Page, is the name of
a remarkable boy, who lived with bi3
mother in a small frame house a short
distance south of Lakeport, a little
hamlet near Oneida lake, N. Y. He
will be fifteen years old on the fif
teenth day of January 1SS0, and is per
fectly formed, with the exception of
his head which is of enormous size. It
measures twenty eight inches in cir-
cumferance, eleven inches from the
front to tiie back, nine inches across,
eighteen and a half inches Horn ear to
ear, over. The forehead is four and
one half inches high, and the face ten
and one-half inches long. The head
which is twice us large as that of the
average person, is covered with black
hair. Another singularity is the eyes;
they are inverted, and he cannot look
up. He cannot see anything below the
level of his eyes. The lid that closes
over the eye, instead of being the up
per one, as Is generally the case, is the
lower one. The face otheiwise pre
sents no unusual appearance. The boy
is five feet one inch in height, and
weighs about 80 pounds. He is in per
fectly healthy condition and eats reg
ularly and in large quantities. Alter
each meal he smokes, and would prac
tice the habit continually were lie al
lowed to do so. ne was three years
old before he could raise his head, and
five years old before he could stand ou
his feet. From his Infancy until near
ly six years old, he was almost a skele
ton in form, but now h‘e is nearly as
well developed as an ordinary boy of
bis age. In consequence of the strange
position of his eyes, he has nevei been
able to acquire any learning, and does
not know the letters of the alphabet,
lie 5s, however, quite apt, and is quick
to catch the jneaning of anything
spoken within his hearing, but cannot
express himself, and, Invariably, asks
his mother what to say. His head
which is very heavy, increases in di
mensions as he advances in age: and
when he reaches maturity will proba
bly be one-lialf larger than at present.
