SHoEING A CAMEL.-A traveller from
Pekin to Siberia, across the great desert OF
Cobb, tells us that whenever camel's fee
have become very tender and sore from
long marches, the poor creature lies down.
The driver knows at once that his feet
hurt him, and looks to find out if the thick
skin of the feet is blistered. Whenever a
blister is found, two or three strong men,
usually Mongols, keep watch OF the camel
until it is not noticing them. At just the
right moment they make rush all togeth-
er upon the camel, throw it over upon the
side, and make it fast. Then, with needle
made for that use, they sew a square piece
of leather large enough to cover the hurt
place over the cancels foot, the skin OF
which is quite thick enough to sew
through, without hurting the animal
When his new shoes on, the camel is quite
ready to get up and march on. The pieces
of leather are very carefully prepared for
this use. 1t sometimes happens that
camel lies down in the midst of his long
march across the desert, and dies. The
natives take the thickest part of his skin
to make shoes of. These bits of skin they
take out day after, when on the march,
and pull, until they become SO soft and
Welding, that camel with bllstered feet
seems grateful to have shoes made OF 1T,
although he would resist the shoeing to the
last, were he not held so that he could not
move. IS. B. Pritchdrd.

A Juror tDr props Dead in Court.

| A startling event occurred Monday in
the Hartford, Conn, Court Of Common
Pleas. Thejury in a suitto recoverihouse
rent had retired for consultations. The
balloting stood 6 toe. After further con
sultation another ballot was taken, result
| ing in vote of IL to /. The one who Yo-
ted alone was Peter Cooke, an old and well
known citizen. ~ t5-ssl.. "a, 0if
Some his fellow Jurors then argued the
case with him, and earnestly. too. MI.
Cooke was observed to tremble, though he
had been, from advancing age, somewhat
.trenlulous for two OF three years past. He
was a man ,notivery easily shaken in his
opini ons, bnt on this occasion the earnest
ness Of bis fellow jurors at length carried
him with them, and an agreement was
reached. "a fli1a etGt9Iu29e o. ..VF9 ~ 59
A few minutes later, and while themem-
bers. of the jury were in the act Of leaving
the jury room, Mr.. Cooke, who was stand
ing by one Of the seats while conversing
with another juryman, suddenly fell back
over the seat in an unconscious condition.
Such aid as could be rendered was given,
and in few minutes he revived. ei.ta.n
'sYou have heart affection, Mr.. Cooke y
said one of the jury. M .q.ie. fs49
s:'No, L don It know that there is any trou-
BILE with my heart,'' replied Mr.. Cooke
hesitatingly, "but Haven't felt quite right
lately about here''-passing his hand
across his lungs. r = ''''
"You know, suppose, that you fell to
the floor"
mo, indeed? Did I fall? I didn't
know it.n o ryo1toa, 4ls. 3Hs
The shock had been so sudden that he
did not know what had happened.
K. Soon after this Mr.. Cooke felt, well
enough to return with the juryto the court
room; but as soon as he entered, instead
of going to the seats provided for the jury,
he sat down on the first Of the long beach-
es. One of the juay called the attention OF
the Sheriff to the case, telling him that
Mr.. Cooks condition required attention.
In minute more Mr.. Cooke fell over in a
dying state, and within four minutes was
quite dead. The verdict which was for
Mr.. Ranney, the defendant, was received
by the Court and duly announced. 1t is
believed to be a case without any prece-
lent-a juror dropped dead between the
time of the agreement on the verdict and
it's delivery. If it had been a murder trial
no doubt it might have involved new jul
ry-a new trial. $751;.

She Caused Three Suicides.

A young person of the female persuasion,
in st. Louis, has been the cause of thee
men committing suicide. She is described
as pleasant-featured, cheery-face, nothing
striking, except pair of mischievous gray
eyes animated, entertaining, above the
average intellect and thoroughly well bred
as school marin ought to be. The last
victim was also teacher in the same
school in st. Louis. The third victim was
called Young. She first attracted his adj
miration by her amiability in the school
room, and admiration soon became burn
ing passion. One day while their heads
were in close proximity over pulling re-
port he whispered his hopes in her ear and
was not repulsed. The intimacy grew,
presents were exchanged, until one unhap-
Ply day another candidate for a suicides
grave put in an appearance and, the angel
grew killing cool to poor Young. Madden
ed with jealousy he Disguised her with
threats of suicide, and one day showed her
a revolver with which he said he would kill
her then himself. She smoothed his ruff
fed feathers, and presented him with
lock of hair and copy Of Byron" both
of which were found by his side on the
beach. Shortly after Young got into diff
ficulty about schoolmatters, and was trans
ferred to South St. Louis. She let him
down little further then and he went
East, where his friends placed him in an
insane asylum. On the 18th of October he
was released and his friends heard nothing
more of him until the oath, when his body
was found on the beach near Newport.
The young lady is said to take the affair
very coolly, and the people of st. Louis
are afraid if she stays there she will depo-
pulate the city.

SUICIDE OF A PHYSICIAN FOR A Pro-
FEssIoNAL MIsTAKE.-A correspondent OF
the N. Y. "Tribune", writing from Boston
tells Of remarkable double suicide which
has just occurred in that city. One of the
victims was Marian Phyfer, age 10 nurse
in the City Hospital during the last six
months For several days past she had
seemed hysterical, had frequent fits of
weeping, and was evidently very wretched.
On Tuesday she said, ''Nobody seems to
care for me,' although she was a general
favorite throughout the hospital. That
night she appeared more depressed than
usual, and as she seemed to grow more and
more nervous, one of the women whoroom-
ed with her called up DR.. Arthur J.. Fos-
ter, one of the medical house officers, who
had already given her one or two quoting
doses. He visited her supposing the trou-
BILE to be the same, and repeated the pre-
scription he had already given. In the
morning her roommate was aroused ear
lier than usual by her heavy breathing, and
called in the house physicians at once. He
found her unconscious, could not rouse
her, and she died at 7:30 O'Clock. By her
side was bottle of elixir of opium. 1t was
evident that she was already under the in
auence Of the deadly narcotic when DR..
Foster visited her and failed to discover
the fact. None seemed to reach this con-
clusion more quickly than did the unfortu-
nate author of the mistake an energetic
enthusiastic student, only % years and 6
months old. He withdrew to his own
room without another word, and, with pei
feet calmness, severed the femoral artery
as neatly and completely as the most ex-
perienced surgeon could have done it, and
bled to death at once. Young Foster grad
uated at Williams College and at the Har-
Medical School with high honors. His
death was shock to large circle OF ac-
quaintances.
