A SNOWSTORM.
Deformed by tempests, the sweet blue
Is drowned in clouds of tleecy sprnyj
On, on, in ranks forever new,
Forever maddening in their play.
Above, the driving storm; below.
The earth is fashioned at its will; . ,
Its chisel carves the yielding snow
To forms beyond all human skill.
Hut we. warm nested, in the heart
Of this dim elemental war.
Sit calmly tranquil, or but start
When rocks t he pane with stormier jar
W e look into each other's eyes.
And see a friendly peace which says,
"While on the snowy Cossack flies,
“Rave ye without, here quiet stays.*’ j
This silent, unexpressed delight
Grows brighter so severely set; ^
Heart warm agahist the snowy white, ■'
The rose of joy burns warmer yet.
Our kindling of the soul can make
Those wintry tumults disappear.
And all their dreariness partake
Its own illumined atmosphere.
—Thomas Gold Appleton.
At the Wharves of Havana.
Along the low, crowded, quaint
wharves on the Havana side, by the
Catalina warehouses, skirting the Regia :
docks and storehouses, or severed at ya- ,
rious jtoints in the bay by these pictur- I
esque lighters and their noisy lancheros, j
i are barks and barkentines, brigs and
1 brigantines, two. three and four masted
schooners and full rigged ships, dis
charging and receiving cargoes. Here
are Dutch barks and brigs discharging
coal from Cardiff. They will receive
sugar or molasses for Philadelphia or New
York, and there load with general cargoes .
for some European port. Norwegian of the heel stamper are sorted into two
barks, brigs anti brigantines have brought heaps,
coal from the Baltic and tiles from France
nulling Waste leather.
A most interesting feature of all busi
nesses using leather is that not one par
ticle of the leather is wasted. Our shoe
factories alone sell annually fifty tons of
waste. This goes mainly to a firm in
Philadelphia, who pays $7 a ton for it.
A large amount is sent to Lynn, Mass.,
and other points, where the leather is
ground up, mixed with a medium and
pressed into buttons. The remainder
that is not so used is treated chemically,
turned into a gelatinous mass, dried and
ground into a fertilizing dust. The sole
leather pieces that fall from the block

Japanese Mythology.
The creation was, according to tra
dition, brought about in this wise. In
the dim ages of the past there existed a
trinity who dwelt in space. Later came
other deities (Kami), with separate
•existences, and after seven generations
begotten from them, the creation, which
was confined to Japan, was decided on
and carried through in six stages, almost
similar to those in our Pentateuch, the
work being delegated to Isanaghi and
liis sister, Isanami. From tbe goddess
sprang certain terrestrial deities, among
whom were Araa-terasu, the beautiful
goddess of the sun; Isukoyumi, tbe
goddess of the moon, and Susano, god of
the wind.
A story which finds frequent illustra
tion in Japanese art is that of the quarrel
between Ama-terasu and her brother and
her consequent retirement to a cave,
whence she was inveigled by the dancing
-of a goddess, variously named Okaine,
Ouzoume, or Uzume. It is narrated at
.length in Griffis’ “Mikado’s Empire,”
and Reed’s “Japan,” and is one of the
fairy storie.s recently published in a de
lightfully illustrated form as a child’s
book under the title of “Yamata-no-
Oroclii.” Masks of the fair dancer are
to be found in every curio shop. The
features upon these masks are always
similar and have been handed down for
centuries—a narrow forehead adorned
with imperial spots cf sable, puffed out
cheeks, dimpled chin and laughing coun
tenance. One of them is usually to he
seen in every Japanese house. In her
full length figures she usually carries in
her hands a bundle of reeds and a dart
bound round with herbs and little bells.
Many ancient customs still exist which
originated in this quarrel, notably the go-
hei, or branches adorned with bits of
silk and paper, which are hung in all,
Shinto places of worship, the drum upon
which Ouzoume danced and the cocks
who now inhabit the precincts of the
temple, and which were then engaged to
attract Ama-terasu’s attention by crow
ing in concert. So, too, the cord of rice
straw, which keeps away the visits of
evil spirits, and the sacred burnished cir
cular mirror, wherein the goddess beheld
her likeness, and which is the origin of
the round mirror of metal which Japan
ese women still use as their only looking
glass. The dancing of Ouzoume before
the cavern is imitated in the pantomimic
dance still practiced in every Japanese
village. Another frequent subject for
illustration is Susano killing the eight
headed dragon after he had induced him
to partake of sake set in eight jars. His
exploit is depicted upon the bank notes of
the country. A sword, which he found
in the tail of the dragon, is one of the
three sacred emblems in the imperial re
galia. He was the father of Dalkoku,
the god of good fortune.—Art Journal.
Symbols in tho Catacombs.
The following symbols, borrowed from
tbe Scriptures, were frequently repre
sented in the Catacombs, and relate to
the virtues and duties of the Christian
life: The dove, with or without the olive
branch, the type of simplicity and inno
cence; the ship, representing sometimes
the church as safely sailing through the
flood of corruption, with reference to
Noah's ark, sometimes the individual
soul on its voyage to the heavenly home
under the conduct of the storm controll
ing Saviour; the palm branch, which
the seer of tho Apocalypse puts into the
hands of the elect as the sign of victory;
the anchor, the figure of hope; the lyre,
denoting festal joy, sweet harmony; the
cock, an admonition to watchfulness,
with reference to Peter’s fall; the hart,
which pants for the fresh water brooks;
aud the vine, which, with its branches
and clusters, illustrates the union of the
Christians with Christ according to the
parable (John xv, 1-6). and the richness
and fullness of Christian life.—Professor
Philip Schaff in The Century.

discharging cargoes of tiles from Mar-

here with onions and garlic and flour.
From Halifax have come vessels with ;
general cargoes of onions, cabbage, pota- j

America have come brigs and brigan- ]
tines, with the general air and build of
Spanish craft, and these have brought
wheat, fruit and tassajo or jerked beef,
olives, sweet oil, bacon, butter, lard, figs

Wkat is this Disease that is Coming
Among Us?
Like a thief at night it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
above the chest and sides, and some
times in the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, es
pecially in the morning. A sort of
sticky slime collects about the teeth.
The appetite is poor. There is a feel
ing like heavy lead on the stomach;
sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which food does
not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and clam-

for one minute, at least, to lessen the
number of coughs heard in a certain
ward in the hospital of the institution.
By the promise of rewards and punish
ments I succeeded in inducing them
simply to hold their breath when tempted
to cough, and in a little while I was my
self surprised to see how some of the
children recovered entirely from their
disease.
•‘Constant coughing is precisely like
scratching a wound on the outside of the
body; so long as it is done the wound
will not heal. Let a person when tempted
to cough draw a long breath and hold it
until it warms and soothes every air cell,
and some benefit will soon be received
from the process. The nitrogen which is
thus retained acts as an anodyne to the
irritated mucus membrane, allaying the
desire to cough and giving the throat and
lungs a chance to heal. At the same
time a suitable medicine will aid nature
in her effort to recuperate.”—Baltimore
News.
Behavior in the Sick Room.
The etiquette of the sick room should
be better understood. Many a patient,
nervous and excited, has literally had the
life forced out and gone to the grave
through uneasiness or fright over his
mysterious surroundings. There is no
time when a man or woman more needs
to have natural and cheerful people about
them than when tossing on a sick bed.
Talking in the room should always be
done in a natural tone of voice, and never
in whispers. There should be no tip
toeing and no long faces, or discussions
over this or that grave symptom. The
doctor that don’t bring a breeze of cheer
fulness with him to the sick room had
better quit business and go to the under
taker’s trade. There are many forms of
disease where the patient is killed or
cured, not by any remedies, tut by the
indiscretion or discretion of the physician
and attendants. —Chicago Inter Ocean.
through the brain substance. The study
of the brain is yet to be made, and the
result is awaited with interest. Animal
trainers, especially those of elephants,
claim that they possess little reasoning
power, and we do not imagine in conse
quence that the result will benefit any
thing but comparative anatomy.—The
Doctor.
Petrified Monster in Iowa.
The petrified remains of a huge ani
mal have l>een discovered near Percy.
Ia., by a man named S. R. Dawson. It
was lying beneath the surface on the
bank of the Des Moines river. The total
length of the body measures, without the
head, over forty feet. The head was de
tached from the body, and when dis
covered was some distance away from it.
At nine feet from the end of the tail it
measured four feet six inches in width.
In support of his theory that this is the
petrified remains of some extinct monster,
Mr. Dawson, in describing the find, shows
that it is entirely unlike the stone forma
tion in the vicinity. A spar of quartzite
formation was discovered in the locality
where the blood vessels and intestinal
canal should be, and another formation
was found in other parts. The remains
were in a bed of dark blue stone sur
rounded by petrified remains of insects
and other animals. Mr. Dawson is con
fident that the monster belonged to the
carboniferous age.—Demorest’s Monthly.

Hainan Curiosity In Austria.
A remarkable case of disease is at pres
ent engrossing the attention of medical
men in Austria. There is lying at the
hospital of the city of Ischl a patient af
flicted with a bony excrescence protrud
ing from between the lower cervical ver
tebrae. The excrescence has the form
of a horn, is round and straight, with a
diameter of one and a half inches. It
has grown to a length of about eight
inches, and would probably have been
much longer by tliis time but for the fact
that the point was broken off several
times to be sent to the pathologic insti
tute of Vienna for examination. There

Practical jokes are very often played
on a sheep station, especially on new
chums. The most awkward horse is
given to the newcomer, and the result
eagerly watched for. Perhaps the Aus
tralian “buck jumper” is the most diffi
cult horse in the world to sit. He allows
himself to be mounted quietly, and then
puts his nose between liis knees, arches
his back like a cat. and usually unseats
his rider. They are sometimes taught to

Mail Over Vegetarianism.
A man made mad over vegetarianism
was a curious inmate of a Pennsylvania
hospital. The sight of any animal, bird,
insect or reptile, slain at the hand of
man, would send him into paroxyisms of
hysteric rage. Ho would wear no shoes,
in order to kill the fewer animalculae as
he walked. Every shoe or woolen article
of clothing that came in his reach h6
would destroy: a funeral would fill him
with frenzy, for he held that the dead
should be carried into the woods and cov
ered with leaves: while his vegetarian
ideas as to food were equally pronounced.
On every occasion possible he would slip
off to eat grass, each blade of which he
would carefully wipe in order to preclude
the destruction of an insect.—Good
Housekeeping.

There is frequently a spitting up of rhe
food, sometimes with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish taste; this
is frequently attended with palpitation
of the heart; the vision becomes im
paired, with spots before the eyes;
there is feeling of great prostration
and weakness. All of these symptoms
are in turn present. It is thought that
nearly one-tliird of our population has
this disease in some of its varied forms.
It has been found that physicians
have mistaken the cause of this disease.
Some have treated it for a liver com
plaint, others for kidney disease, etc.,
etc., but none of these kinds of treat
ment have been attended with success;
for it is really constipation and dyspep
sia. It is also found that Shaker Ex
tract of Roots, or Mother Seigel’s Cu
rative Syrup, when properly prepared
will remove this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however, to secure
the genuine article.
