Ernst Bunsen, on the Chronology of

features of extraordinary interest. One
of the most startling, and on the whole
the most novel, Of its eccentricities will

An invention, combining the advan-
tages of bed on shipboard and a life
preserver in case of shipwreck, has been
exhibited in England. 1t consists of a
cork mattress and pillows, resting on a
spring bottom The mattress and pillows
are so arranged that it can be readily adj
justed to the body and used 20 keep the
shipwrecked passengers floating in an
erect position. The mattresses are, more
over. so constructed that. if necessary,
they can be joined together to form ii life
raft. y speciality of this form of life
preserver is, that as il encases the body in
a great measure, it might, in many in
stances, prove invaluable as protection
to persons washed ashore on a rocky coast.
The inventor is an American-Mr. l. F.
Peck. The new bed and life preserver
combined was tested at the Georges
Baths, Liverpool, in presence of Admiral
Keer. r. N, chief emigration officer of
the port; Mr.. Ismay, of the Western
Star company, and other gentlemen, who
were highly pleased with its practical
working.

Female GTerA~ in Germany.

Throughout Germany, wherever fe-
males can be employed to advantage, they
are taken in preference to young men.
At Munich the clerks and bookkeepers in
the banks are nearly all young and
handsome girls. At the depots many of
those who attend the windows for the sale
of tickets are girls, and the cashiers in
all the cafes and restaurants are of the
same sex. They are generally very ex-
pert at figures, and in mental arithmetic
they have no superiors. In view of the
fact that so many females are employed
in the rougher and hardest descriptions
of laboring work, it speaks well for the
sex that they are seeking and securing
more desirable and lucrative employment.

= Man Coughs Up "A Gold Dollar
and Receivers His Health.
From the Evansville Journa


For some time past young gentle
man, employed on the Evansville and
Chicago Railroad, has been troubled with
a cough, for which he has been taking
medicine from DIR. Newell, but without
any good effect being apparent. A few
days ago he was taken with Il severe fit
of coughing, in the course of which he
coughed up a gold dollar, and since that
time he has entirely recovered from the
pain in his lungs and the irritating cough
While wondering how the gold coin
could have gotten into his lungs he recol-
lected that some months ago he had two
or three gold dollars, and when going to
bed one night he remembers to have had
one of them in his mouth When he
came to look for his money the next day,
or perhaps later, he found that he had
one less than he supposed, and his opin-
ion now is that he went to sleep with the
gold dollar in his mouth, and that while
asleep it got down his throat.

En-M. Krnka, the inventor of the
breech.loader which has been adopted by
the War Department at st. Petersburg

Kulomet," on hand mitrailleur. The
Kulomet, he says is of simple construct
ion, and may be used by the soldier on
any ground, however billy, just like a
rifle. 1t is comparatively cheaper and
simpler than the Werndi and other
breech-loaders used by European Arm
les, and a soldier armed with it can I'M

may be converted into Kulomet, and
any cartridges may be used with it.

The Sabbath-school attached to TIL

on Wednesday evening to participate IL
the ceremonies of Christmas night
Some 500 persons we're present. The
ceremonies had commenced, and Mr.
Kinsloe of Williamsport was making an
address, when the floor gave way, pre-
cipitating the whole assemblage into the
cellar below. The church was construct.

was in this that the congregation had
assembled.
The interior dimensions of the floor
are 26 feet wide and 40 long. There
was center girth, with joists thickly
placed on each side, and through the
center from above were two bolts con.
Meeting with this main girth. Evidently
the weight of those assembled sprung

slipping out of their places, caused the
