l
“Polliito” Tell! a. Strange Story—A Trip
_' from Dublin to London—Something
for Scientists to Look After—A Double
5 Man.
In going fr0m London to Dublin I had pur-
chased round trip tickets. The route was by
rail to Hollyhead, on the coast of Wales,
thence by steamer across the Irish sea. to
Kingstown, Ireland, and then rail to Dublin.
Under the guidance of Mr. Dillon’s secre-
tary, while visiting the various points of in-
terest, I was induced to drink a good deal of
Irish whisky. The people Whom we encoun-
tered were sociable and presing in their hos-
pitality, the more especially as the guest was
an American, for whom it did not seem that
they could do enough.
The last day of my stay the potations were
frequent and the leave taking effusive and
impressive. I never was fond of alcoholic
drinks. but my scruples against extended
libations were met by the assertion that Irish
whisky was a pure extract, without headache
or other ill after effects. My associates would
toss off three glasses to my one, the mean-
while exhibiting no signs of intoxication.
The train was to leave about4o’clock in the
afternoon, and a little before that hour my
"escort bade me good by and left me at the
Shelbourno house. My head was perfectly
clear up to this point. Neither any of the
party nor myself was unduly exhilarated.
There was none of the boisterousness, the
raised voices, characteristic of inebriety.
There was simply a. stimulated good feeling,
so to speak, when we parted. 1 called for my
bill, paid it, and had a carriage sent to take
me to the depot. Ientered the vehicle, waved
a salute to the porter and started.
It was daylight, and I was seated in a first
class compartment in a railway train. I
glanced out of the window and recognized the
hedges and the quaint farm houses of Eng—
land. Two men were ' in the compartment
besides myself. I glanced in their faces, and
saw nothing to excite uneasiness—that is,
there was nothing in their conversation or
their attitude toward me to indicate that
there was anything unusual in the situation.
A moment before I was in a carriage leaving
the Shelboume house, and the next moment I
was speeding through England; in fact, it was
not five minutes after I found myself in the
car before the smoke of London began to ap-
pear on the horizon, and but a little later
when the train halted in Euston station. In
time, as railways measure it, the distance be-
tween Dublin and London is seventeen hours.
For that period, then, as it soon dawned on
me, I had been unconscious.
People who have ever passed the bounds of
sobriety in their use of liquor know what con-
stitutes the ordinary nature of intoxication.
There is a variation, Of course, according to
the nerves, the brain, the physical condition
of the person. In the case of none, however,
does it happen that the moments of apparent
insensibility are really absolute blanks. The
intoxicated person will have dim glimmerings
through the darkness in which he lingered;
that he parted with this or that person at
such a point; that he mounted a car or en-
tered a carriage, or that he saw the acquaint-
ance during the period of his drunkenness.
Such was not my experience. The ordinary
form of intoxication leaves an impression of
a. lapse of time of greater or less duration. In
my case the hotel in Dublin and Euston were
separated by no time save such the brief
minutes elapsed after I recovered conscious-
ness up to reaching the station. I must have
been driven to the depot, where I entered the
cars and was taken by them to Kingston.
At that point I must have gone aboard the
packet, and on reaching Holyhead I must
have gone from the boat to the London train.
Now, all this was accomplished without dif-
ficulty, for my clothing was undisturbed in
any manner, and my watch, money and
everything else in place as they Were when I
left Dublin.
It is impossible to conceive that I was as-
sisted into trains, or off and on the boat, or
was carried, for the reason that my hair and
clothing were in perfect order. I had cer-
tainly undergone no handling on the part of
strangers. I had evidently, if I may judge
by the attitude of the two men in the com—
partment with me, been guilty of no indis-
cretion, or anything unseemly when entering
the car. or they would have watched me with
curious glances when I woke.
In the condition in which I was plunged,
for seventeen hours of which I have no re-
membrance whatever, I must have appeared
no different from the ordinary traveler and
have attracted no especial attention. In
other .words, to use a common expression, I
must have been “drunk” to a most extraordi—
nary extent; so much so that memory utterly
failed me, and yet in a condition in which I
was able to conduct myself and my affairs in
a manner to attract no notice.
Here were clearly two conditions in which
I was placed at the same moment, each of
which is exactly unlike the other—antagonis-
tic in every particular. I was two distinct
persons, one of whom was intoxicated to pro-
found iusensibility, and the other of whom
was able to select routes, change from one
class of vehicle of transportation to another,
to hand out tickets, presumably in all ways to
conduct himself so as to be above the sus-
picion of being in an abnormal condition. I
was grossly intoxicated in one sense, and not
the least in another. Had my inebriation
been Of the usual character I should have lost
the greater portion of my remembrance of
what occurred, and I should have been help-
less in limbs and incapable of locomotion,
speech, or intelligent intercourse with others.
Involved in this experience must be some
cerebral functions that were not operated in
a normal manner. The phenomena of the ex-
perience point to brain conditions that are
little or not at all known, and whose possible
results are innumerable and likely to be startn
ling. Assuming the truth of my conclusion
that while in this dual condition there was
one part of Inc—the dominant part—that was
able to transact business, to have the appear-
ance of entire sobriety, it is easy to conceive
situations in which broader consequences
might have ensued. It is possible to fancy
that while thus- conditioned I might have
signed notes, contracted a marriage, commited
larceny, or even murder. without having the
slightest consciousness of it when I resumed
my normal state. ‘
I have experienced the ordinary and com-
mon results of the average form of inebriety
often enough to be entirely prepared to re-
move my Dublin journey so far from the
cerebral domain of the other. I make this
avowal concerning an experience in the
cfi’ects of intoxicants the more readily in view
of the fact that for many years I have been a
total abstinent in regard to every form of
stimulants, not exclusive even of cider.—

The Arcade Railway.
The New York Journal of Commerce says
' that the elevated railroads of the city fail to
meet the requirements of travel, and that the
time is not far distant when some other means
of transportation must be adopted. There is
a general demand for the arcade railway,
which ought to be constructed as soon as pos«

Bringing the Blsons Back.
The Crows have become quite rich in cattle
and sheep. - To some extent the squaw men
have been instrumental in leading them into
these pursuits. One of these fellows, Kent
by name, is said to own thousands of sheep,
and with his comely Indian wife he cuts an
important figure in the councils of the tribe.
While the Crows have taken up stock raising
with some reluctance, they have never given
up the idea that the buffaloes would some
day return to them. They breed and raise
cattle only as a last resort. The appearance
of a few buffaloes sets them wild with joy.
A regular practice of the tribe since the
practical annihilation of the buffaloes has
been to hold a great medicine dance annually
for the purpose of bringing the bisons back.
They believe that these animals 'have re-
treated te the caves in response to the order
of the Great Spirit, whom they have offended,
and they will not be convinced that they have
beendestroyed. 'At their last medicine dance
the powwow was unusually demonstrative,
and the head men expressed the opiniOn that
the buffaloes would soon return. Singularly
enough, only a few days later a small herd of
scrawny buffaloes was seen near the camp.
and the Crows, with shouts, fell on them and
soon dispatched them all. After the sport
was over the Indians returned to camp, and,
congratulating themselves that their medi-
‘ " cine was very strong, made more of it and
continued their ineantations for several days.
No more buffaloes appearing, they gave up
the task of conjuring them, but will renew it
,' at their next dance.—Bozeman (M. T.) Cor.

Coffee for Typhoid Fever.
Dr. Guillassee of the French navy, in a
paper on typhoid fever, says: “Coffee has
given us unhoped for satisfaction; after hav-
ing dispensed it we find, to our great sur-
prise, that its action is as prompt as it is de-
cisivc. ‘ No sooner have our patients taken a
few tablespoonfuls of it than their features be-
come relaxed, and they come to their senses.
The next day the improvement is such that
we are tempted to look upon coffee as a spe-
cific against typhoid fever.”—-Boston Herald.
Sui-all Bernhardt's Skeleton.
A Boston newspaper says that once an
American lady visited Sarah Bernhardt and
was permitted to inspect her apartments. In
Sarah’s bed room stood the skeleton ‘ so often
mentioned, and when she saw it the American
drew back in terror. The actress thereupon,
saying that “he was alive,” threw her arms
about it and kissed the grizzly skull. “There,
you see he is conscious,” she exclaimed.
“Yes,” retorted her visitor, “he is even blush-
, ing for youl” Sarah’s very vermilh‘on lips
'. had left two red spots on the bony cheek.—

A MEXICAN DINNER.
DELICACIES THAT WERE NOT AP’
PRECIATED BY AMERICANS.
Tho Guests Smell of the Soup and Smile.
Bow Tortillas Aro Made—“Frijoles,”
or Chocolate Colored Boone—Hot
Gravy—Pulquo.
At each guest’s plate a menu card was
placed. The cards were beautifully decor-
ated by the Mexican artists. Some of the
cards were decorated with miniature birds
made of gay feathers. thor cards were
artistically gotten up with straw work woven
about the corners, and below on all the cards
was printed in Spanish the following:
Caldo Mexicano.
Arroz Seco.
Puchero.
Frijoles.
Frutns. Pulque.
Tamales. Chocolate.
A good many of the guests thought “Caldo
Mexicano” meant cold Mexican and they
were wondering how he would be served,
when little tea cups filled with greasy soup
were brought on. Mexican soup is more like
the drippings from roast beef that anything
else. The proper way to get rid of the soup
Tortillas.
Mole de Guajolote.
Ensala.
is to drink it. The Mexicans did. The
American guests did not. They smelled it
and smiled.
Plates containing boiled rice mixed with
boiled carrots and hard boiled eggs chopped
fine were next. That mixture was called
“ 'roz seco.” The rice was very red, having
been stained in the boiling by the carrots.
Some liked it. “Tortillas” followed—a flat
corn cake that looked like pale boarding
house buckwheat cakes, the kind boarders in
arrears usually get. The tortillas were made
of crushed corn, which was ground into meal ,
up stairs. The process is to lay the corn on a
stone and roll it with a stone bar until it be-
comes meal. The tortillas are baked on little
sheets of tin over charcoal fires. The Mexi-
cans rolled the cakes up into rolls, first spread-
ing salt on them. Then they ate them lunch
the same as an American would nibble at a '
lady finger. “Puchero,” which came next,
was made of fried cabbage, goat meat, fried
carrots and fried bananas, and is known as a
"Mexican Irish stow.”
VARIOUS OTHER DAINTIES.
"Ensala” was composed of lettuce spread
thickly with sweet oil. Mixed in the lettuce
there were, onions chopped fine and a good
deal of garlic. Accompanying the saladion
the same dish was stewed veal stulfcd with
almonds. There was adish served which was
not on the menu and. It was called “Chili
tiel'o." It is to Mexicans what a soft shell
crab is to an American. Green peppers were
hollowed out and the shell was filled with
chopped chicken with a few raisins mixed in
it. The pepper was then dipped into batter
and fried in a pan of hot lard. This dish was
very much in favor. Everybody nearly took
to the “frijoles,” chocolate colored beans.
They were very tender and were dressed with
a sauce that was very palatable. The “fri-
jole” has quite as great a reputation in Mexi-
co as the baked bean has in Boston. The most
unique dish served was the “taumales,” a
croquette made of corn meal, raisins, nuts
and fruits. It is boiled in a corn husk and
looks a good deal like a boiled pig’s foot at a
distance when removed from the corn husk.
“Mole do Guajolote.” The mystery of tur-
key was a. fricasse of that bird with a vege-
table gravy. The gravy was principally hot
fat and red pepper, and everybody who ate
the gravy asked for ice to soothe their burn-
ing tongues. The Mexicans smiled and ate
the gravy with a relish, dipping their breed
in it. The Mexican wine “pulque” was
served to the guests in small wine glasses. It
'looks like milk and tastes like bakei-s’ yeast.
It is to the Mexican what hock beer is to the
German. It is the juice of the maguey plant,
a species of century plant. The Inagucy
plant takes seven years to mature. At
maturity it is about seven feet high. Then
the central stalk is cut off at the base and the
juice of the plant is sucked through a gourd
and carried off by the natives in skins. The
plant yields about two gallons every day for
two or three menths after the stalk is cut off
and then dies. The juice isput into jars in
dark cellars and allowed to ferment for forty-
eight hours. Then the pulque is ready to
drink. A Mexican can drink four quarts of
it without becoming intoxicated. ‘
Very good chocolate in tiny cups followed,
with real Spanish cigarettes. The Mexicans
puffed the smoke through their noses and
their ears and out of their eyes and smoked
half a dozen cigarettes in as many minutes,
and soon the table was covered with a great
cloud of smoke and the dinner was over, the
Mexicans rising from their chairs and bowing
to the guests, and the visitors mechanically
imitating the Mexicans—Philadelphia Times.
A Puglllst Saves His Friends.
“Talking about a 'pugilist saving his
friends,” said Old Sport, “the slickest thing I
ever saw was done by old Joe Goss in his
fight with Paddy Ryan down in Virginia. in
the spring of ’80. I didn’t like to see old Joe
going up against the young fellow; but I
knew if he was beaten, there would be a game
fight before the battle was over. You recol-
Iect there was a good pile of ,money bet on
first blood, and all of Joe’s friends were bet-
ting that he would first draw the claret from
the young Trojan. '
“Well, that was a fight and no mistake.
The brave old veteran took his punishment
and fought like a hero. At the end of the
third or fourth round he motioned for
Johnny N to come to his side as he sat
in his corner. He mysteriome took J ohnny’s
hand, carried it to his mouth, and with his
tongue deposited something in his friend’s
palm. Johnny was bothered. He could not
make out what the old fellow meant, and be-
gan to think that the fight had set him queer.
Johnny kept his hand closed and jammed it
into his coat pocket and kept it there until he
had a chance to step to one side and examine
the contents. Cautiously withdrawing his
hand, he slowly unloosed his fingers, and
glancing downward sideways,,so that no one
would observe him, he saw what it was. The
mystery wasexplained in an instant, and old
J oe’s clear head and forethought could not be
too highly commended. In the second round
Ryan had swung a stinging right hander on
J oc’s mouth, and there, resting in Johnny’s
hand, were three old teeth that had been
knocked out, and Joe had carried them
through two rounds until he got a chance to
get rid of them, without displaying the fact
that Ryan had drawn first blood. He thus
saved his friends that much of their money at
any rate.
‘ “Johnny quietly presented the teeth to an-
other friend. Afterward, when they had to
send old Joe outside of the city to catch a
train in Order to keep him from being arrest-
ed, Johnny 1'cmarked to the battle scarred
veteran when they were safely aboard:
“ ‘What was that you gave me, J 00?”
“ ‘I don’t know. What was it?, said Goes.
“ ‘ \Vhy, that you gave me out of your
mouth down in Vir ' 'a?’ '
“ ‘Ob.’ replied Joe, with a chuckle. ‘them
.bloody old stubs. I’m glad the young fellcr
knocked them out, fur they~ was always

Putting Girdles Round the Earth.
The time is not distant when the whole
globe Will be covered with a net work of tole-
graphic wires. Nearly all commercial ports
on every continent are now in communication
with the centers of trade in Europe and
America. The last great gap is aboutto be
filled up by the laying of cables under the
Pacific ocean. A company of British capital-
ists has been organized to lay a cable from
Vancouver, B. C., to Hong Kong, Jhiua.
There will be branches and connections with
Japan and the principal islands of the Pacific
ocean. The importance of this multiplication
of verbal communication between different
parts of the world cannot be overestimated.
For one thing, it will probably lay the basis
for a universal language—a telegraphic code
will be established that can be read by opera—
tors the world over. Then, as has been fre-
quently pointed out, mercantile profits are
reduced to a. minimum when a knowledge of
prices in the various markets is flashed instan—
taneously from the buying to the selling
marts of the trade.
The enormous profits of former periods was
simply an insurance against the risks of sand
ing cargoes to distant ports in ignorance of
the prices that might prevail when the vessels
reached their destination. There are also those
who dream that this instantaneous communi»
(ration between one end of the earth and the
other may bring about a single government
for the whole globe, and thus usher in the era
when peace will prevail, and industry he the
one material pursuit of mankind. The labor
question can never be settled until them is an
agreement all over the orld as to what the
workingmcn’s share 0 the aggregate pro-
duction shall be.—Demorest’s Monthly.

with a laugh, touching my wineglass. ‘Ah,

“ ‘No?’ he said; ‘very well.’ He was polite.

FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT.
“That Lass o’ Lowrle'e"—Mrs. Burnett‘-
Molhods of Writing—:1 Young Hero.
“I was nine years old when I first saw the
'1'ch of the young porso’ n I afterward idealized
us ‘That Lass o’ Lowrie’s.’ Working girls
from the factory could at that time be known
by a long, coarse apron, which they wore tied
back to prevent their clothing from catching
in machinery, and-by a little shawl worn over
the head, I looked from the window one day
and saw a pale, handsome young girl knitting
on ,a gray sock pinned to her waist. The
children about her I noticed gave place to her
and obeyed her as if she were their princess.
011cc afterward I saw her, when she was
driven by a‘ brutal man, with rough words
and uplifted hand, into a cabin where she
lived. The dignified air of the girl and her
unusual self restraint I never forgot.”
“Had you begun to write at this time!"
“Yes, I 1.556.. to write at the age of 7, and
my earliest recollections are of stories that I
made out in my own mind. The dramatic
parts of these stories I would go over and over
to myself, feeling intensely every wave of
sorrow and joy of the imaginary character.
My dolls were grand ladies and gentlemen
acting out a life drama, and the arms of an
old sofa in my mother’s room were the horses
from which many of my dell ladies were
thrown, to be gallantly rescued by the hero. "
“What is your method of writing I"
“I hardly know how to answer you. I
think of my story, and then am eager to write
it out. When I begin it is easy to tell it. I
write rapidly and steadily. Usually I have
written from 9 to 1 o’clock, but my ill health
has caused me to be lem methodical than I'm--
merly."
“And which of your books do you like the
best?”
“Oh, I like special characters in each of
them; perhaps I care more for ‘Haworths,’
but." she added, with a charming smile,
“Ilene of my books can ever be so dear as
‘Lord Fauntleroy,’ ” saying which she rose
and took a photograph from the table, which
she handed me to see. It was little Lord
Fauntleroy himself, her youngest son. a lovely
child, whose face and dress are accurately
copied in the pictures of Lord Fauntleroy,
and whose character is said to much resemble
the young hero.
Mrs. Burnett looks young and is now 31
years Of age. She has naturally a strong
constitution, but has suffered from nervous
prostration until lately and shows it in her
delicate face, though she is not frail in phy-
sique; on the contrary, she has a well rounded
form. She is a fascinating and distinguished
looking woman, one whom one would say was
fond of society and likely to be much admired
in it. No literary woman of this country has
won her way to fame and eminence so rapidly
as Mrs. Burnett. and if her writing faculty is
not injured by ill health her best work is yet
to be done. Indeed, she says she feels that
she is yet to do it, and looks forward to the
time when she can give herself entirely up to
her writing again—Washington Letter.
Art of Extempore Speaking.
A gentleman who has achieved quite a
reputation as an extempore speaker tells me
that there is no such thing, and he has Daniel
Webster on his side in maintaining this claim,
for that matter. “There is, to be sure,” he
says, “such a thing as depending on the in-
spiration of the moment, but you have got to
sketch out something in your mind as a be-
ginning, even if only for the purpose of
throwing it away, point by point, when you
get up. My plan is to go to work about a
day beforehand and imagine the speech that
I am going to make, from beginning to end.
In the calm of my chamber. of course, I can
think up a number of things to say. When I
get up to speak I can remember these things
nect them logically and continuously. Very
often the connection becomes exceedingly
rough, and there is where the ‘iuspiration of
the moment‘ comes in. Some shred of a
thought that comes from a glimpse of some
one in the room that you know, taking the
shape of a humorous reference to him, will
help you out wonderfully, for the personal
always takes. '
“Once get the people to laughing at some of
your carefully thought out extemporaneous
humor, and you can get any sort of ‘chest-
nut’ on them—even the story of the tramp
who who was offered a ticket to a banquet,
when he was begging for money to buy food,
and who, when he found out that there were
going to be after dinner speeches at this din-
ner, preferred to go out and lie down behind
a shed and die. This story always makes your
hearers laugh, and acts like a wet blanket on
the fellows who come after you, thus giving
your address a relative brilliancy that it
might not possess otherwise. Stories, stories
always; don’t forget those. And if you can‘t
remember the connection that you were going
to tell them in, tell them anyway. But if
you really .find that you have thought of
something new since you got up. and are
actually inspired to say something that you
hadn’t on your programme, don’t hesitate to
say it; that one inspiration may give your
whole speech a flavor of extemporaueousness.
And, above all, don’t get into your shell and
refuse ever to make speeches, because that is
simply a means of incapacitating yourself.
Talk up, somehow, and you will do as well as
the rest, afterawhile.”—Boston Transcript
“Listener.”
Reclaimed From Opium Slavery.
Many Chinamen have taken to wife the
vagabond females who have drifted to China-
town to hit the pipe or to do worse. One of
those women was reclaimed from slavery to
opium by her husband. She had become
what is called “a fiend,” which is to say, an
abject slave to the vice. Her husband dab-
bled with the drug in the philosophical meas-
ured way that most Chinamen here do, and
becoming interested in the girl (she is young
and comely) took her to his quarters and re-
leased her from the clutch of the demon by
tapering of! her allowance from day to day.
She agrees with Capt. McCullagh that the
strength of the habit is overestimated.
“I .oke or don’t smoke, just as I like,” she
says, “and as long as I don’t drink at the
same time, it gets no hold upon me. A great
many of what are called ‘fiends’ keep drink-
ing beer between their pipes, because that
makes the opium take hold with all its mi ght.
“Moderate opium smoking is verv pleasant.
When you are under the influence of the
drug you are just as wide awake as ever you
were in your life. But all care and worry
and trouble disappear as the intoxication
grows, and you see everything as if you were
inaday dream. No matter how bare and
dirty the room is it looks nice and pleasant.
All the people around you grow graceful and
beautiful. Kind and pleasant thoughts till
your mind, and you would kiss your most
hated enemy if he would come and let you do
so. You feel as if you were as light as down,
and were reclining on a cloud of feathers.
After a while, when this pleasure disappea'rs,
you grew very tired and sleepy, and if you
. have smoked too much you sometimes are
lick.”
