No MORE BURNING ALIVE" Satanella' -

rectiOn coffin: l mean a coffin so made that.
should you come to life again in your grave,
It will supply you with air to breathe, an
alarm bell to ring, something to eat and drink
and means of reaching the upper earth, if
you are not too feeble to make the necessary
cxertion. Because a cunning Teuton has
invented just such coffin for the benefit Of
people disposed to seem dead when they are
not-people who go off in frances, in coma.
and so on. l saw one of these cotfins myself
Yesterday. 1t is taller than an ordinary
burial case, in order to give the corpse an
opportunity to turn around in it. l: is fitted
with springs, which at the slightest motion
Of the corpse, will remove, by slide, that
portion Of tho lid that covers the head and
chest. To this portion of the coffin is at
tached wide chimney, pierced with air
holes. This chimney extends above the top
Of the grave, and contains steps. and is large
enough for the corpse to ascend to reach the
upper air. A line is attached to the hand of
the corpse when buried. This line will ring
an alarm bell the moment the hand moves.
Is 1t not, as whole, clever idea

The City of the Orphans.

THEaE Is now rising up in the west of
England q new city, which may be appro-
priately called the City Of the Orphans
And remarkable city IT is. \ vast col
ony oforphans would anywhere be a strange
sight, but in this case it Is more than strange
it is marvellous. This City of Orphans is
wonderful as being the result OF one mans
work it Is wonderful for the vicissitude
through which it has passed it Is wonder
ful for its extent il is wonderful for what
it promises to be The history of this ev-
er expanding city takes us altogether out
Of the current OF ordinary things, and
makes us look upon human effort from
new point OF view We have seen often
what a love of ostentatlon can do: we see
here what an individual will, guided by
lofty faith. can DO. In connection with
this city of orphans we have biography
which when 1t comes 10 bc written, Will
read more like an eXtravagant fiction than
plain matter-of-fact nineteenth-century
narrative In the life of George Muller
there is a singularity not to be found in
the common crowd of biographies it is a
strange life, j worthy life, great life !;
especially great in an age when ;ndlvld-
ualty, as Mr.. Mill has remarked, is on
the decline, and mankind are moving on to
their destiny In rucS which has few really
distinguished leaders.
The City of the Orphans is situated on
Ashley Down, near Bristol, this Down be-
ing a breezy eminence on which until
lately, the farmer grazed his cattle. To
trace the origin of this city we must GO
back to the year 1885, in which year a
poor Prussian-George Muller, who was
then living in Bristol, and who had come
to England a few years before in connec-
tion with missionary project-conceived
that it was his duty TO do something
towards providing for the numerous Or
phans who are to be found in our large
cities.
At the time that Mr. Muller first began
to think of this work, he was minister to
small sect known as the Brethren, and
had for telow-laborer the late Henry
Craik, the wel-known Hebrew scholar, and
brother of the late Professor Craik, author
of the a. Pursuit of knowledge under
Difficulties. Mr.. Muller had no salary
whatever in connection with his ministry,
he and Mr.. Craik having resolved not to
accept a salary, but to leave their needs to
be supplied as the Brethren voluntarily
should decide. This arrangement produced
very curious results. Sometimes Mr.
Muller was very well of. but, as he never
made his wants known to anybody, and
never on principle, asked anybody for any.
thing. his means were occasionally very
low. On these occasions bis outward ap-
kpearance indicated the emptiness of his
exchequer, and individual members Of his
Econgre@ation were in the habit, when they
met hiin With a shabby coat on, of taking
him to d taiior's- and buying him new
one. But poverty never affected the cheer
full spirit of George Muller. In March

Practical Jokes.

Practical jok ing is at discount. Practi-
cal jokes are voted vulgar. witless, stupid
ill-natured and it is really impossible to
deny that the popular verdict Is correct
one; but how amusing they often are.
You must. in your youth, have either set
or fallen into a " booby-trap." 1t consist
ed, you may remember, of books, boots, etc,
balanced on the top of a door, which was
left ajar, so that the first incomer got
solid shower-bath.
Another trick was to pour water into
stone ink bottle, cork it tightly, and slip it
between the bars of boys CRATE on win
ter's evening, when he was returning to his
room after temporary absence-the noz-
ze, of course, directed toward bis chair.
The tenant returned, and sat down to his
verses or translation presently the water
began to boil, and the steam fired off the
cork at him.
Perhaps the decline of practical joking,
both in the army and among civilians, is
due in a great measure to the abolition of
dueling. 1t seems mean to play tricks up
on man who has no redress in case he
should take serious offense and this. un-
doubtedly, is the weak part of the practice,
that it necessitates victim. This is the
case, indeed, with the majority of our
amusements one can not win game with
out another losing it; fox-hunting is un-
pleasant for the fox; and shooting entails
pain and death upon the objects of our
sport; neither does any body. however
good face he may put upon the matter.
like to be made game of. But in the last
instance there is an element of treachery
which distinguishes it from the others; to
insure the success of a practical joke it is
generally necessary to lull the victim into
a false security.
When lady condescends to practical
joke it is generally q very neat one. NJ.
Boncourt. the rich fnancier, was very stingy
to his wife in the matter of pin-money.
One day lady, closely yelled. and very
anxious not to be recognized, called upon
him and borrowed large sum, leaving hsr
diamonds a. q pledge. 1t was his wife.

EFFECT OF EXPOSURE ON CoAL.-As
most people treat it. they seem to have no
idea that exposure produces any i'll effect,
at least. The american Rail,oay Times
corrects this mistake:
Professor Rockwell has called attention
to the deterioration which coal suffers from
exposure to the weather, and to the i'm
portance of keeping il as dry as possible.
Anthracite suffers the least. bituminous the
most. According to the experiments of
Grundmann, coal to the weather in heaps,
loses during a period of nine months, so
per cent. of its value as fuel. and about as
much a. gas making material it undergoes
a process of slow combustion, taking up
oxygen and giving off the volatile products
of oxydation-air and moisture playing the
principal part, and warmth promoting it :
the valuable combustible ingredients are
lost. and the injurious ones, as sulphur,
oxygen and ash, are relatively increased
Coke from weathered coal is of inferior
quality. losing its adherence. These facts
have been generally understood for long
time. but the practice in some yards gives
no heed to the loss of heating values which
coal undergoes from exposure to the
weather. 1t is found with no covering to
shield it from the rain. wind and snow, and
its exposure and loss thereby seems to
attract no attention from the very :. prac-
tical" men who have care of it. Neither
wood nor coal can bear long exposure
to the elements without losing . large
share of their value az fuel.
