ROSES AND LILIES.
Roses for youth with its mad ambition,
Lilies for hopes that bloom into peace,
Roses for work with its promised fruition,
Lilies when toil and striving sense;
Waxes trumpet and velvet nest,
The roso or the lily, which is best?
Lilies when days slip in dreamy fashion,
Roses when moments are glad and gay,
Roses for hearts in the maelstrom of passion.
Lilies for breasts that are quiet for aye;
Snowy trumpet and crimson nest,
The rose orthe lily, which is best!

THE SNAKE CHARME R.
“An old, white bearded Iliudoo, well
known in Sguth London as a street ven-
der of pieces of scented wood, wicker
baskets and other Oriental trifles, had
been knocked down and run over bya
butcher-’3 cart, in the shafts of which, as
is the butcherly custom, a swift trotting
pony was driven by a reckless, bare
headed youngster. The old man’s wrist
‘only was broken, but the shock to his
system seemed likely to prove fatal at his
advanced age, which rumor fixed at con-
siderably over 100 years. - .
“From the moment that the old fellow
was put to bed, Mascarenhas, a Hindoo
attendant, was unremitting in his utteri-
tion to him. He could converse with him
in his own language; he spent hour after
hour by his bedside and exhausted the re—
sources of the hospital in making him as
comfortable as might be. One disciple of
Esculapius ventured to ask him in the
chnfiiug style current at St. Dot’s, if he
rad found his long lost great-grandfather.
The fire that blazed from the young
dun-key’s eyes at' this was enough to warn
his questioner that there was danger in
pressing the point, and he dropped the
subject like a hot potato. '
“The old heathen had only one visitor
during his four days‘ lingering in the
ward—a young Hindoo cadger, who had
roamed the streets in his company, heat-
ing a. tom-tom and chanting some sort- of
gibberish to a melancholy tune. He
claimed tovbe distantly related to him,
but; the patient received him with such
undisguised dislike that he was requested
after a second call not to repeat his visits,
which seemed to agitate the old man cx-
cessively. ’
“On the morning of the fourth day the
old Hindoo gave up the ghost more from
old age than anything, and the customary
white screen 113 placed around his bed,
while the nurses prepared his body for
the visit of the parish undertaker. A
hurried inquest had been held, in which
the old man’s body figured as one of a
batch submitted to the grumbling dozen
of shopkeepers, who did duty as a jury.
The coroner‘s order had been made out
for burial, and I had fairly forgotten all
about the case, when a note from Mascar-
cnhas, delivered at my lodgings, brought
me down to the hospital in eager curios-
try.
“It was midnight when I reached the
house surgeon’s room at St. Dot’s, to find
Mun-curpnhas in a. state of wild excite-
ruezii, surrounded by a. knot of physicians
F.3d stud bis, whose faces were an air of
cu 'osity, mixed with iucrcdulity. The
I! .i'::>i;iri was talking volubiy as I on-
tcrcd. In his hand he held what ap—
peared to be it dead snake, of some non-
venomous species, fungless and hoodlcss,
l.-:' ';c(l along the back with scales of
:1 , :rccii luster, which glittered in
i.i-'.‘ rt as he turned it about with
en. uculations. Among the men he
v... ..,..ircssiiig were some of the most
‘ , and earnest of the faculty at-
- ': to the hospital, men open to con-
c.*.~.‘., but not likely to be victims of de-
- on, (“corn if it had been his wish to
dc. uivc them.
-~ I tell you, gentlemen,’ he said, in the
peculiar screeching tone he always used
win-n highly excited, ‘I tell that you are
about to witness a vindication of that
easier-st science for whose realityI have
so often contended. The old man who
lies in the operating theatre yonder is a
rahiniu of the highest caste, as you may
see by the sacred cord he wears, from
which, once assumed, his compeers never
part in life and death. He has been
the master of mighty secrets. 0.. serpent
charmer of the most fidvunced order, ash“
in his time it high priest of Mariatclc. All
that; is involved in that description I will
not attempt to tell you, lost I should con-
vert your disbelief into ridicule. But I
declare that he has ppoved to me his
sucwlcdge of the dread mysteries of life
and death, of the power attributed in
fancy to the fabled Frankenstein. I have
promised you that within an hour you
slizlllisee the (loud brought back to life.
And for this boon, conferred upon him by
my weak hands, he has sworn by his
goodness and the sacred Vedas to make
its partners in his knowledge. Is this
mighty secret- worth an hour’s experiment
or 1:01"
" ‘Will you kindly explain the treat—
ment you intend to adopt?’ asked Dr.
McP—, a grim old Scotchmnn, who re-
garded the enthusiast with the pitying
expression of one who hears the vagaries
of u. hopeless lunatic.
“ ‘Thc talisman is here,’ said Masca‘
renlins, holding the limp body of the rep-
tile aloft. ‘This creature, lying appar-
ently lifeless on my palm, has existed in'
this state for unnumbered ages. The
perfect balance of its natural juices re-
strains the process of decay and imparts
to it- a magnetic power of the highest pos-
sible order. It has been preserved in the
Brnhmin’s family for countless genera-
tions, and used, as we shall use it to-
night, to give vitality to the dead in days
before your western civilization was
dreamed of. It is the sacred snake of
V‘shnu; if others of its tribe are yet to be
found lizoyare in the possession of the
members of her priesthood, and their ex-
istence is guarded from the vulgar as a
dread and unattainable secret. Yet its
images; are worshiped to this day in count-
less shrincs, from Calcutta to Kurrachee,
from the llindoo Koosh to Mysorc.’
“ ‘Clcun mud!’ muttered the old doctor.
“ ‘If properly applied within twenty-
four hours of death to a body in which
no vital organic l'cison has taken place,’
confirmed Mascarenbns, 'reviv’ification is
as certain as that steel strikes fire from
flint. But follow me, gentlemen, and let
me convince the most skeptical among
you. You shall see the dead man live,
move and possess his being again in re-
newed vi gar, and the dread secret of ages,
on which all the visions of the Rosicru-
cinns and other sects of dreamers have
been based, shall be mine and yours.’
“If unconvinced, our curiosity was
powerfully excited. With rapid footsteps
we follows i the young mystic through the
long. whitewashed corridors into the
operating theatre, where so many suffer--
ing mortals had endured the incision of
the merciful knife. On the table, illumi-
nated by three strong nrgnnd burners
suspended from the ceiling, lay the naked
corpse of the old Brnbmiu. He wore the
sacred cord alluded to by Mn-scurcnhas,
no.1 his ion-r white hair and board, care-
fully arranged about his dusky counte-
nance by the iraiids of the layers out, im-
parted a. striking air of majesty to his
aged features. Near at hand a mixture
of turpentine and water was simmering
in a pan upon the open fireplace, and
flanncluscd in fermentation hung ready
upon a chair back. “To gathered silently
around the body, and MeP— passed his
hand critically from pulse to breast, and
tested the rigidity of the limbs.
“ ‘Dead as a door nail,’ he] murmured,
and folded his arms in contemptuous ex-
pectuncy.
“ ‘Be ready to apply the fianuels when
I tell you,’ said Mnscarenhas, in a~hoarse
whisper. ‘Now watchl’
“Slightly raising the venerable head,
while we watched his motions with stifled
breath, he twined the glittering length of
the serpent around the dead , man’s neck
and joined it head to tail nt-the-nerve '
center atop of the spinal column. Then
he withdrew a pace and waited, anxiously.-
“Five minutes passed without a sound
from either of the party. Then the Scotch '
doctor broke the silence. ‘What d—d
rubbishl’ he exclaimed. ‘I was a. fool.
to— Eh?’ . _ ,
“He paused, his eyes dilated with its-
tonisl'iment, for the dendemnn’s eyelids
trembled, and the wasted-right arm moved ‘
with a convulsive motion upward, then
curled round upon his breast. The bosom
heaved spasmodically, and we bent‘ for-
ward over him in thrilling eagerness. —
“\Ve were interrupted by the trend of
heavy footsteps in the corridor. The door
was flung open, and the young Hindoo
already spoken of burst into the room,
followed by a couple of policemen, and,
at a little distance, by one of the hospital
sisters. -.
“ ‘No knife here, gents, if you please,’
said one of the constables—a. sergeant.
‘Magistrate's order to forbid dissection,
and to have the body given up to the old
man’s relatives, represented by this party
here.’
“Mascarenbas turned around to expos-
tulate. His face was ashy pale, and his
excitement choked his utterance. The
young Hindoo pounced upon the corpse,
and fitting over the limbs a tattered wrap-
per that he had brought upon his arm.
Next moment, with .0 torrent of exclama-
5..
tions in his own gibberish, no tore the
serpent from the dead man’s throat, and
flung it scornfully upon the blazing fire.
A flash, a sharp crackle, and it had van-
ished forever.
"‘The Eurasian sprang toward it with a
scream such as I have never heard before
or since. Amomeut he stood with 011t-
stretched arms and glaring eyes before
the stove, then fell upon the floor inn
swoon.
“For the next few minutes we were on-
gaged in applying restorativcs to the
irritating man. Until he had partially rc-
covcrcd, and had been removed to his
room, no one thought of looking to the
dead man upon thc table. \thn we at
length returned to the body it had again
subsided into the rigidity of death, the
bent; arm and the convulscd features alone
testifying to the partial change that had
been wrought upon it.

“ ‘Could have done it all with a. good
battery,’ was McP—’s comment, as we
lit our cigars in the courtyard of St. Doro-
thy. ‘Still, I should like to get one of
those snakes—most remarkable electric
action I have ever seen; beats the gym~
uotus by ten to one.’ .

hospital for India. I have never set eyes
upon him sinco.”—London Chronicle
How to Keep the Feet Warm.
Feet may be kept warm in almost any
weather and with only covering. The
method known to old lumber-men should
be more generally employed, and would
probably save many a frozen foot.
Take two bunches of common curled
hair as large as the closed fist- of the per-
son whosc feet are to be kept warm. A
little liberality in the quantity will do no
harm. Pull this out and make a pad
large enough to cover the sole of the foot
from heel to too. It must be pulled out
light and free from lumps and bunches.
Put one of these pads in each stocking
next the foot. The quantity of hair
must depend to some extent on tho
iooseness of the shoe. But whether
much or little is used. the object
is to cover the sole of the foot only with
hair, and prevent the foot from coming in
contact with the stocking. The sides and
top will then take care of themselves.
The writer has successfully used a bunch
.of hairless than the bulk of the fingers
of one hand. So small a quantity is
likely to be full of lumps, and does not
well protect the foot; yet it prevents the
foot from becoming cold enough to ache.
If curled hair is not to be had, that
which can be combed from the mono and
tail of the horse, or cut or pulch from
the necks and heads of cattle or other nu-
imals will answer. When the shoe or
boot is so light that no space remains for
the hair, remove the stocking and place
the hair on the bottom of the ShOO.—J.

Barbarlc Hayti Negroes.
Hayti has for nearly a century been a
black independent state. The negro race
have had it to themselves and have not
been interfered with. They were equipped,
when they started on their career of free—
dorn, with the Catholic religion, acivilized
language, European laws and manners,
and the knowledge of various arts and
occupations which they had learned while
they were slaves. They speak French
still; they are nominally Catholic still,
and the tags and rage of the gold lace of
French civilization continue to cling about
their institutions; But in the heart of
them has revived the old idolatry of the
Gold Coast, and in the villages of the in—
terior, where they are out of sight. and can
follow their instincts, they sacrifice chil-
dren in the serpent’s honor after the man-
ucr of their forefathers. Perhaps nothing
better could be expected from at liberty
which was inaugurated by assassination
and plunder. Political changes which
prove successful do not begin in that way.

Miss Anderson at Home.
Miss Anderson’s house, Mount; Wal-
thnm, is on the slope of the side street
called Netherhall Gardens, which runs
from a steep, broad thoroughfare. It is a.
,dalxlrcd briclgnigdcui house, from whuau
windows can be seen on a. clear day nearly
all of London lying below. It- is in the
midst. of ample grounds and is above the
fog line. The house is handsome, large
and well fitted. The hallway is very
broad, square and in dark oak, wit-h a
great fireplace upon one side. All of the
rooms on this floor open into the hall. In
the center of this hall there stood on the
day that I called an enormous Christmas
tree. Above the Christmas tree from tho
~bnuuisters leading to the second floor
hung a brilliantly colored silk United
States flag. This tree was for the benefit
of Miss Anderson’s young brother. She
has all of her immediate family with her,
and lives as few actresses can live—at
home, with her own people about her.—

Liability to Pulmonary Consumption.‘
Having seen, then, that in the aggro
gate more civilized males than females
die of pulmonary consumption; that the
costal respiration of the civilized female is
developed through the constricting influ-
ence of dress around the abdomen; that
the lungs possess an excessive breathing
surface, which, by sedentary occupations,
etc., can be, and is frequently, reduced in
a great degree; that the baneful results of
such it reduction, consisting of hypermmia,
etc., fall with the greatest force on the
apex of the lung; that all those who suf-
fer from consumption also show a decided
tendency to immobility of the upper part
of the chest—are we not, therefore, justi-
fied in believing that a defective costal
respiration and the beginning of pulmon-
ary consumption stand in relation to each
other as cause and efiectl’
And, going one ’step further, is it not
clear that the civilized female owes her
greater immunity from this disease in a
great measureto the fact that she pos-
sesses a more highly developed ecstal ex-
pension? If these relations exists, it is quite
obvious that her manner of dress is a di-
rect factor in bringing about this result.
She has, by force of necessity, been led to
clothe herself after a method which de-
mands a restriction of the abdominal and
diaphragmatic movements, and which
cultivates a. greater development of the
costal portion of the breathing organs,
and thereby she unconsciously protects
herself to a greater degree against this
disease; while the male, on the hand,
dresses himself after a fashion which se-
cures perfect freedom of motion to the
diaphragm and abdominal muscles, but
which also attracts and tends to confine
the respiratory function to the lower por-
tion of the chest. Moreover, it must not
be forgotten that the same fashion also
demands that his clothing should be sus-
pended from the shoulders, which of itself
restricts the movements of the upper por-
tion of the chest, making it evident, there-
fore, that his clothing renders him, both
directly and indirectly, more liable to the
disease under consideration. To this con-
clusion, and to no other, do our facts and
reasoning lead—Science.
Bargaining for a Parrot.
It was in a Broadway bird store that a
young lady was shopping for parrots. A
big and valuable bird was under her con-
sideration. She was criticising its points
like an expert.
“I think the other one is better,” said
her dude companion.
“But this one looks so much like you,
Herbert, dear," she sweetly rejoined, “that
I think I prefer it.”
So it did. The profile of the beak was
r. counterpart of the ugly fellow’s nose,
and otherwise the two faces were about
the same in shape and in suggestion of
intelligence. The slightly dazed chap was
silent; as though {revolving in his still
mind the meaning; of then remark.
“Fhis parrot isa. Wonderful talker,” put
lathe dealer. ‘»‘Ijh‘aven’t‘had a better one
in stock for along time.”
“Oh, he, talks '~ plain English well
enough," said '- the“ young lady, “but do
you think he’d - learn to stammer and
draw] and lose the London accent? I
"couldn't- love him if he didn’t do that,"
and here she gave a deeply sentimental
look at the young man, which made him
happy-in spite of all.—‘-New York Sun.
Cases of Nutmeg Poisoning.
Some people doubt the poisonous effect
of nutmeg, but several cases of nutmeg
poisoning have been noted in The British
Medical Journal during the past summer. ,
A whole nutmeg was taken in four of the
cases, and five whole ones in the remain-
ing case. In still another case, the use of
half a nutmeg in a hot drink was nearly
fated—Boston Budget.
He Caught On.
“Didn’t you catch on?” said the sym-
pathetic bystander to the man who had
made a grasp at a passing street car but
missed and measured his length in the
slush.

mty, as he gathered himself up and Walker!

A FIELD FOR ELOCUTION.
mes-gyms“ Should Take Lessons for the
Benefit of Their Congregations.
There is a branch of the profession of
the elocutionist that seems, thus far, to
have escaped the grasp of the ubiquitous
reporters who are continually scouring
the town in quest of novelties. This may,
however, be due to the fact that it is of so
delicate a nature in itself that it sensi-
tively shrinks from publicity. 1 know
that in my own case I chanced upon it by
accident. I found my first cicw to it in a
business prospectus, and one of the first
persons to assure me that he knew noth-
ing about it and had never heard of such
a. thing in his life was an eminent divine,
one of those who profited most largely by
it. For my part, to be sure, I cannot see
Why a. clergyman should be ashamed to
admit that he is taking lessons in elocn~
tion. Certainly it is no crime against so-
ciety or the church for a preacher to im-
prove his methods of oratorical delivery.
Actors rehearse their parts and painters
make sketches and studies for their
pictures. Why a pulpit expounder should
not make some similar preparation for his
sermons and lectures is not clear to me,
and that some of our best and most popu-
lar pulpit speakers do so is, it seems to
me. simply a tribute to their common
sense. If they all did it, it would be to
'the benefit of their congregations, who
have nowadays to sit out a vast deal of
poor speaking to get at the meat of the
sermon delivered for their good.
There are two ways in which our minis-
- ters employ the elocutionist to improve
them as speakers. These might be called
the direct and indirect. The direct con-
sists in regular lessons in clocution, often
involving a. rehearsal of the sermon itself.
The indirect consists in employing the ex-
that by ncquuinting him with his faults
he is warned to avoid them. This sort of
thing is called, I believe, “instruction in
clerical reading.” The clocutionists make
a special feature, I am told, of prayers, for
the impressive reading of which many
divincs carefully prepare themselves. A
natural orator like Henry Ward Beecher
even did not disdain to occasionally om-
pley an expert to listen to him and fur-
nish him with acnreful criticism of his
speaking. With this point in view it can
be understood how advantageous the
counsel and assistance of the expert must.
be to hundreds of preachers, who, no mat-
ter how large their learning and able their
powers of analysis and composition may
be, do not possess the oratorical gift of
the great Brooklyn pastor. The ability
to write a sermon by no means guarantees
the ability to deliver it eloquently, as a
great many people who go to church no
doubt know.
The sooner the elocutionist gets his fine
work in among d‘ur literary men the
better it will be for them. If there are
any worse readers or speakers extent
than the average person who writes
' poetry and books I should not like to
have to listen to them. At the recent
authors" readings in this city I heard
some of the worst specimens of oratory,
from some of tho cleverest of our
wielders of the pen, that I expect to
hear in my life. All over town . I fall
in with men of letters, who read all
sorts of productions to me with a fasci-
natingly ridiculous absence of that grace
of delivery and expressiveness of intonu
tion that make a reading worth hearing
If only for the sake of the friends whom
they call upon to pass judgment on their
compositions, these gentlemen should call
upon the elocutionist for some assistance
toward ameliorating the terrors they in~
car-note when the fine frenzy of speech is
upon them—Alfred Trumblc in New
York News.
The Mourning Ring.
, “Did you ever see u mourning ring?”
asked a. Maiden lane jeweler of a rt-porter
the other day. “Well, here is one.” ._
It is a heavy gold band, perfectly plain,
and with a seal in the shape of a coffin.
It has a glass face, through which can be
seen a. skeleton in gold. 0n the inside of
the ring is the inscription, in black enamel.
giving the initials of the deceased and the
date of death.
v"1'lAL'aU designs were uneu vvca a aou‘
tury ago, and now they are to be revived
as the latest fnd. Some young widows,
who find it difficult to indicate their bc-
reavement when indoors, with but and
flowing veil removed, take advantage of
tho ring to announce to susceptible young
men that they have returned to the mat-
rimonial market. ll‘hey need not look
melancholy. A turn of the finger and the
sad news is told.” -
“Do men use them?”
“Most assuredly. Widowers have no
way of announcing their loss except by
the band on their hats. With a mourn-
ing ring all embarrassing inquiries re-
garding the deceased wife may be avoided,
and knowledge of the widower’s restored
eligibility quickly and neatly impartct ."

A Common Error Corrected.
The common error that because a thing
grows out of the ground it is peculiarly
“a work of nature," and therefore of ne-
cessity beautiful, is a most fruitful source
of failure in gardening and landscape. In
this light it seems almost a heresy to
state the fact that many of our garden
flowers are as much the work of man as
are aniline dyes, for instance, and that
one may be as atrocious in color as the
other. Akin to this error is the idea. that
things which may be excellent and bean-
tiful in themselves must be correspond-
ingly excellent and beautiful in conjunc-
tion.~ The women of a. certain insular
realm have a reputation, in other lands,
for ill taste in dress. The silks, velvets,
laces, etc., of which their garments are
made may be of admirable quality, and
even beautiful in themselves, but an array
like a green velvet bonnet with a purple
feather and scarlet ribbons, combined with
pink waist and blue skirt, constitutes a.
spectacle which would probably have
startled the eyes of one accustomed even
to the sight of King Solomon robed in all
his glory l—At-lantic Monthly.
Trying the Engineer's Courage.
The fast runs out of Chicago are all
night runs, and it is night run that tries
the engineer’s courage. Driving ahead at

man could perform.
Among engine drivers there are bold
men and timid'men, but only the former
were selected for these fast runs. A timid
man, prone to shut off steam for every
shadow seen on the track, or for every
imaginary danger, for engineers are called
upon continually to heat back their own
apprehensions, could never make time on
a run like one of these limited trains to
the west. Some of the best and bravest
engineers in the world are on these foot-
plates, and in this climate and under the
disadvantages besetting them they will
find enough to try their mettle-Chicago

urrls' Social Distinctions.
An amusing thing about these girls is
that they keep up Social distinctions. A
collar girl does not associate with a cotton
mills girl. Neither will they have a laun~
dry girl for a friend. The laundry girls
think they are better than the cotton mill
girls, though this is disputed, while both
recognize the superiority of the collar
girls. The collar girls have their own
sets, according to the character and qual-
ity of their work. The new assembly-
men are ignorant of this intricate‘social
code, and make many embarrassing mis-
takes at first by giving stoppers to which
they invite cotton mill girls from Cohoes
and collar girls from Troy—New York

Arab Home Not-Superior.
A foreign journal pertinently says that
the lingering idea that the Arab horse
but for his inches would be better than
his English brother grows more purely
romantic every year. A contest occurred
lately in Cairo between an Arab of recog-
nized superiority and an English more,
the latter carrying fourteen pounds more
of Weight, both of exactly the same
height; and the oriental champion, al-
though he had been first in the betting,
was beaten out of sights-Chicago Times.

RAINFALL ON THE PLAINS.-
Some Interesting Statistics Showing That,
It Is Slowly Increasing in Volume.
Wheat growers and other large classes
of citizens have been much interested in
the repeated statements, made in the last
few years, [that the annual rainfall be-
tween tlie Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains is slowly increasing. The fact,
if it be a fact, has great agricultural im-
portance, The testimony offered in proof
of it, however, has, until recently, been
unsatisfactory, and has fallen short of
demonstration. Something more conclu-
sive is now adduced by Mark ‘W. Har-
rington, editor of The American Meteor-
ological Journal, in a recent number of
that publication).
If a chart be constructed, on which
lines are drawn through places having the
shine annual rainfall, these lines, in the
region under consideration, will be found
to run nearly parallel. The one along
which the precipitation is ferty inches
passes near Montreal, Albany, the south-
ern shore of the great lakes, the north-
western Iowa and then southward to the
Texas coast near Indiauola. The line for
thirtyinches runs near St. Paul. Minn.,
through eastern N cbraska. and central
Kansas and Texas. And twenty inches
fall along a line starting in northern Min-
nesota, curving out beyond Bismarck, and
then aiming nearly straight for the upper
Rio Grandc. At Cheyenne the rainfall is
about eleven inches. Mr. Harrington has
made a comparison between the position ,
thirty years "" ' ‘
of these two periods
nirart,’ and finds a distinct westward
movement in some portions of
them. He uses Blodgett’s and Denison’s
data. Lorin Blodgett’s collation of rain-
fall statistics for the United States, which
came out in 1857, though now out of date,
is a. work of recognized value and covers
a period of several years. Harrington, in
making an average from these figures.
thinks they may be said fairly to repre-
sent the situation in 1850. Denison is a
Denver physician who has. written ex-
tensively on climate, from a sanitary
point of view, and has employed in pre-
paring his tables the signal service re-
ports of a term of years, ending with 1883
and averaging about 1880. The method
employed by Mr. Harrington and the
character of the work done by the authors
whom he cites justify much confidence in
the results attained in his inquiry.
It appears from this comparison that in
the extreme northern part of Minnesota
the lines of equal rainfall have receded
eastward slightly. A more trifling move-
ment, in the some direction, occurs in
southern Texas. Elsewhere there has
been progress toward the mountains, the
most marked change being between lati-
tude 40 and 45 dogs. Thus the twenty-
five inch line has moved from the neigh-
borhood of St. Paul, out into Dakota,
being replaced by the thirty inch line. In
southern Dakota the twenty inch line has
advanced from the vicinity of Huron to-
ward Fort Bennett, upward of 125 miles,
and is succeeded by the twenty-five inch
line. In Iowa and Minnesota the move-
ment is equivalent to about five miles a
year in thirty years; in Nebraska and
Kansas slightly less. Without entering
into any detailed explanations of the
phenomenon, Mr. Harrington observes
that the increased rainfall occurs along
the line of largest immigration to the
plains; and as that invasion is still going
on, on an enormous scale, it is hardly
safe to conclude that the attendant me-
teorological change will not continue oven
further.——New York Tribune.
History of a Locomotive.
There lately entered the Grand Central
depot the other day a. locomotive with a
tragic history. It was the locomotive
which drew a train to the first frightful
railroad accident; that ever occurred. Up
to 1848, while there had been some catas-
trophes on the railroads, there had been
none accompanied by great slaughter, but
that year this engine drew a part of a.
train on the New Haven road into an open
draw at N orwalk and caused a great loss
of life. The accident‘was the sensation
of the year. The engine was fished out
and repaired, and has been running on
the road ever since.
.A. singular Cll‘cumSL-liilbh'tQ-JIIUULELL \uuu
this accident is that it indirectly proved
the fortune of the man whose incorrect
signals caused it. He fled and settled in
western Pennsylvania, and was the vic-
tim for many years of remorseful‘l'eflec-
t-ions on his carelessness. But it was this
man who first dug an oil well in what is
now the oil region and developed this
colossal industry.-—New York Evening
Sun.
How the Ancients Gambler].
Lanciani forwards to the Athenmum an
account of the gambling reels tenant in a
tomb near Perugia, Italy. Glass spheres
of various colors, 816 small hemispheres
of glass in blue, yellow and white, and 33
“nuarbles” of an elliptic form, are puzz-
lers to the antiquarian. There were six-
teen bone labels four inches long, with a.
word .on one side and a number on the
other. The first twelve numbers in this
game appear to have been unlucky, since
the names given them on the labels up to
that number are spiteful or scurrilous, as
if the gambler personified the throw and
liked to call it by some villainous term.
No. 13 is neither good nor had, hence it is
called vix rides, “you hardly smile." No.
25, however, is benignus; No. 30 is annu-
tor, and No. 601‘s felix. Lancaini recalls
the dice throws of the Romans, of which
triple-one was “dog," but triple-six “the
throw of Venus.”—Public Opinion.
How the Eskimo Din‘es.
-Their way of eating is decidedly pe-
culiar. Cutting a long strip of gory,
greasy meat from the mass before him, the
Eskimo gourmand takes one end of it in
his mouth, and then pulling on the other
until it is strained tight, with a quick slash
of the knife past his mouth and nose he
severs a mouthful and swallows it with-
out mastication, repeating tho operation
rapidly until the limit of his storage
capacity is reached. A civilized spectator
watching an Eskimo family at dinner can-
not fail to be struck with the wisdom of
Providence in giving these people such
short noses, as were the features any
longer they would infallibly suffer early

, Quicker Than by Telegraph.
When the first vessel completed the
passage of the then new Erie canal, in
1825, there being no such thing as a. tele-
graph in those days, the news was com-
municated to New York and to Buflalo _
by cannon placed within hearing of each
other all the way along from, Albany to
each of the other cities. The signal was
passed along in this way from Albany to
New York city and back again to Albany
in fifty-eight minutes. This is quicker
than a telegraph message can be sent over
the same route and answered nowadays,
considering the time usually consumed in
the delivery at each end—Chicago

Like a Flock of Sheep.
During an engagement of the Strakosch
Opera company some years ago, “Car-
men" was presented. The stage manager
instructed the captain of the supes to
make his first entrance with his men from
the back in single file, come down the
right side of the stage to the front, cross
the stage as near the footlights as possible,
go up on the left side and there form line.
The directions were so simple that the
stage manager thought it quite unneces-
sary to rehearse tho supers in the busi-
ness. They obeyed to the letter. When
the cue came for their entrance they filed
on exactly in accordance with instructions,
the captain at their head, walked down
the stage to the footlights and started to
cross when they were brought to a sudden
halt by the prompter’s hood, which stood
exactly in their line of march. There
was not sufficient room for them to pass
between it and the footlights, so, after a
momentary pause to consider the dilemma,
the captain proceeded to crawl over the
hood, and every man Jack of his crowd
followed suit—Detroit Free Press.
, Iniouutam cum-om: 3: Home.
Dr. J. Buttner, of Kotzschen-Breda,
has invented a contrivance which enables
people to indulge in the healthy pastime
of mountain climbing without leaving
their rooms. This apparatus is more par-
ticularly adapted for the use of persons
suffering from a defective circulation,
fatty degeneration, obesity, etc. It con-
sists of n. couple of steps placed side by
side and working in such a way that one
rises while the other is being pressed
down by the foot. Under each step is at
bellows which offers a resting power to
the down tread. The labor of climbing is
regulated by means of a. lever brake.
The steps are six inches high, and the less
or greater steepness of the climb can be
imitated by treading the step halfway
down, or to its full depth; also by vary-
ing the amount of luggage carried by the
operator. A self acting pedometer
registers the number of paces—Chicago

Sunstroko by Electricity.
A highly interesting and suggestive ac-
count of what may be called sunstroke by
electricity was recently printed in The St.
James’ Gazette. At the Creuzot foundry
in France an electric furnace is used, in
which the light equals that of 100,000
candles, and the heat is such. that steel
melts like butter in a few seconds. N ow
people standing at a distance of a few
yards feel no heat, a thermometer five
yards away does not indicate much in-
crease of temperature. Yet a subtle in-
fluence is at work, and a spectator who re-
mains for an hour or two is said to ex-
pericnce “a burning'sensation, with more
or less pain in the neck, face and forehead,
. the skin at the same time assuming a cop-
pery red tint. Later symptoms are head-
ache and sieeplessness. Afterwards the
skin of the face gradually peels off in
, broad flakes, while the complexion is left
of a fine brick color.” The symptoms are
those of continued exposure to hot, bright
sunlight. In extreme cases they are those
of sunstrokc, though the only dpparent
agent has been intense light.
'As to this it mustbe remembered that the
quality of radiant heat is to pass through
the air without appreciably raising its
temperature. When it meets a calorific
body that body is heated, as illustrated in
a room warmed by a glowing, fire. The
air may not be warmer than 50 degs.,
while the furniture is warm to the touch,
yet no sense of chillincss is: experienced,
because the body and its clothes have the
property of absorbing the heat thrown out
In the same way the in-
tense heat of the electric focus may exert
The value of
the observation, if it is correctly reported,
lies in its suggestion as to the way in
. which sunstroke of the indicated type is
produced—Public Opinion.
Unhappy Old Men.
The professional man, who makes his
living by hard knocks and constant exer—
tions, is prone to envy the business man
or speculator who can go on making
money almost without work and who can
pile up a fortune which seems enormous
to one who manages to pick out of the
world, by constant endeavor, a. snug liv-
ing and perhaps a little more under favor-
able conditions. But when old age comes
the professional man has an immense ad-
vantage over the merchant, particularly
over the merchant who is, from the na-
ture of things, so common in a country
like this—the merchant who was not edu-
cated in his youth, and whose chase after
the mighty dollar has stunted all the more
refined and studious aspirations he may
originally have possessed.
For the old merchant, rich as he may
be, there is little satisfaction in the last
years. He can either struggle on after
dollars which have no longer any signifi-
cance or charm for him, or he can spend
his time moping and loitering uneasily,
miserable in idleness, and not knowing
which way to turn or what to do with the
time of which before he never had any to
spare. Of course, this is not the case with
all rich old men who have made their
money in trade. Some have as convenient
and satisfactory methods of employing
their minds as could be asked for. But
the majority are not so fortunate. Scat-
tercd about this town are rich men, or
men with all the property they have need
for, and more, too, who are quite unhappy
in their idleness—ChicagoHerald.
Nervous Effects of Applause.
The effect of applause upon artists is
often quoted as due to their nervous sus-
ceptibility. The fact is overlooked that it
is an unmistakable evidence of approval,
and is as such desired. Artists do not
relish such expressions on the some prin-
ciple that our heathen visitor delights in
the tom~tom, or our own civilized small
boy in the “glorious Fourth” racket. It
is the direct medium of communication
across the footlights. But that artists do
possess nervous susceptibilities of a. most
pronounced order is very generally the
case, and is a point in their favor as indi—
cating the temperament and tastes of
genius, even though it does not insure the
possession of its creative force. A highly
strung nervous organization may, and

of its possessor much unexprcssed pathos,
and is, therefore, less comfortable than a
more stolid nature; but it is also more
prompt and active, and the world owes
much of its stirring music to the instru-
monts it holds at concert pitch—Lilian
Olcott’s Letter.
\tht Dr. Titus Manson (loan Says.
In the matter of eating the lecturer said
that the notion acccpted by thousands
that we must leave the table hungry is
nonsense and rubbish. An ascetic is just
as bad as a glutton, and both by their
conduct pave the road to disease and dis-
ability. Dr. Coan didn’t think much of
vegetarians. He believed we were born
to eat meat. For consumptives he recom-
mended pure air, milk, butter, starchy
foods, stimulants and food rich in fats.
People with liver complaints must let
sugar, starchy foods and this alone.
Nervous people should eat fish, meats and
milk. Folks in the professional line and
brain workers must have lots of meat,
fish, milk and vegetables. .
The announcement was made that we
have few gluttons in this country because
nearly everybody is on such a dead rush.
Milk, boiled, fresh arid skimmed, or with
a certain share of lime water and koumyss
were cracked up, and young and old,
nervous and dyspeptic people were told to
drink milk in either of these forms—New
York Sun.
Run on a “Wildcat" Bank.
When the banks did not want to redeem
their notes they would take only one bill
at a. time, and on such occasions a long
line of men would be formed awaiting
‘ their turn. If a. man wentup with $1,000
the teller would not redeem it in a lump,
as the law allowed them to redeem in $5
amounts, and would make the holder pre-
sent it bill at a time. When the bill was
handed to him he would turn it over, look
at it in every way, smell it and feel it, and
finally picking up a gold coin and exam-
ining it, would turn it over to the holder
of the notes, when he would be given an-
other bill and go through the same move-
ments. A man with $1,000 in small bills
could in that way keep back a line of men
for a full business day.-Globe-Demoorat.
