The Shirt that Opened Behind.

A man in Greenfield, whom we Will
call William, got up the other morning
and proceeded to put on shirt which
his wife had just made for him, after a
new pattern. AS she stood at the mir
ror curling her hair, she heard sup
pressed sound, half way between a groan
and an oath, and turning round, said,
laughing" Why, my dear - "Shut
up !" he calculated. "You are born
fool ! Never let woman attempt to fit
shirt; she can't do it; it is one Of the
impossibilities y "But, William" de-
precatingly. "Don't you talk-let me
talk! Do you think I'm going down
town in this rig? A pretty disposition
you've got !" Just because / happened
to find little fault last week with your
ironing, you must go and make me a
shirt without a bosom Such malicious
conduct, madam, is objectionable.
Shut up, say won't hear word
When starched shirt front is the only
finery that man INDUCES in, is he not
excusable for being particular in regard
to that, / should like to know? And
this thing sets like the mischief. Look
how baggy it is in front and it feels be-
hind as if there was board bound
across me % walking up and looking in
the glass, hitching up first one Shout
der and then the other, after the indie
scribable manner of men trying q new
garment. His wife dared not speak,
but bringing good-sized mirror from
the next room, she held it up behind
him for moment and, perceiving by
his chop-fallen expression that he saw
the point and the front, she ran down
stairs to settle the coffee and see that
Bridget had set the table geometrically.
As William walked down to his Office
that morning, he said to the first friend
that he met: 81 tell you, Tom, that
little wife of mine is born genius.
Look at this shirt, now she cut and
made it all herself no confounded but
tonholes to bother fellow. Just send
your wife up for the pattern" And it
was by the way of Toms wife that
Lizzie first knew that William was
pleased with his shirts.

The Egyptian Capital.

Bayard Taylor writes from Alexan-
dria, Egypt, to the New York Tribune
In the older streets, and especially in
the native bazars, all is gay, diversified,
Oriental. The faces, costumes and dia-
lects of Syria, Tripoli, and Tunis are
mixed with those of Egypt, and even
groups Of wondering Desert Arabs are a
daily sight. / saw several this morn
ing, evidently very much puzzled by a
collection of large children's dolls in a
shop window their faces were an inter-
esting study. But with what simple
dignity they wore their ragged bur-
nooses What fine, statuesque grace
in every deliberate movement or gest-
ure These pictures, which meet you
at every turn, give to the newer portion
of Alexandria, which is additionally
like Leghorn or Marseilles, semi
Oriental character. OF it's 225, 900 in
habitants, at least 100, 600 are of Euro
pean blood. It has more than doubled
in twenty years, and the rubbish of un-
finished or demolished buildings meets
your eye wherever you go. The bank
ing capital of the city Is estimated at
1925, 900, 000-not much less than
that of New York, where, however, the
amount of business is not always an
avidence of the basis upon which it is
carried on. Where everybody rode on
donkeys, in 1852, there are now superb
equipages, and the rich merchants are
building up a suburb of sumptuous
villas and gardens at Ramleh, four or
five miles to the astward of the city.

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.

Report OF the Chairman of the Senate
Transportation Committee-It Recon-
mends the Construction of Four Great
Water ROutes-The Cost Estimated mt
Sl:O.OOO.OOO to S155,OOO,0OO.
Mr.. Window, of Minnesota, has submitted
to the United States Senate the report of the
Special Committee on Transportation, of
which he is Chairman. The committee, it will
be remembered. spent nearly the whole Of the
vacation travelling over the country gathering
information and obtaining the judgment of
persons interested as to the relief measures
required. Senator Window. in his report
says the committee have come to the con-
clusion that no substantial reduction in the
cost of transportation is to be anticipated
from unregulated competition between the
existing railways, nor is competition to be in-
dnced by authorizing the construction of adj
ditional lines, if they are to be under private
management and control. AS to the power of
Congress, under the Constitution. to regulate
interstate commerce, the committee find that
Congress, in its discretion and under it's re-
sponsibility to the people, may first prescribe
rules by which Instruments vehicles and
agents engaged in Transporting commodities
from one State into and through another,
shall be governed, whether such Transports
ton is by land or water.
the construction of railways or canals where
the same shall be necessary for the regulation
OF commerce.

Process Of Cremation.

Prof. Brunette gives the details of
the apparatus that would be required
for the process of incremation. After
having made several experiments on
the human subject, in which the bodies
were burned in the retorts of gas manu-
factories in closed receptacles, and
with access of air, he first satisfied him
self that the complete and perfect per-
Torrance of the process would be i'm
possible under all ordinary circum-
stances. l. the first place, there is re-
quired an oblong furnace of fire-proof
bricks, having ten holes below, by
means of which the intensity of the fire
can be regulated. The upper part of
this should be followed to receive the
coffin, and over this a domed cover is
to be placed, by which the flames, as in
reverbatory furnace, may be directed
upon the body. Within the coffin is a
metal supporter table on which the
body rests, fixed by thick iron wire.
The operation embraces three periods
the heatingof the body, the spontaneous
combustion, and finally the incinera-
ton of the soft parts, and the calcina-
ton of the bones. During the first
period, and about half an hour after the
pile of wood in the furnace has been
lighted. the combustion of the body
commences. 1t give off large guam
tity of gas, and the management of the
rcverbatory part of the furnace is of
great importance. If the wood has
been well arranged, two hours suffice to
produce perfect carbonization. During
the third period. the air-holes being
opened, the carbonized mass is collected
and placed upon fresh plate, and the
heat is now urged to the utmost a
fresh supply of wood is inserted. BY
means OF this arrangement, at the ex-
pense of about 80 pounds of wood,
complete incrematien-that is to say,
incremation of the soft parts and cal
cination of the bones-may be effected
in two hours. When the furnace has
cooled, the cinders and bones are col
lected and deposited in funeral urn.-

Ammonia for WhOoping- Cough.

A writer in the Medical Journal,
London, states that in case of whoop-
cough in the last stage-that is, after
the third week-he has bad once ounce
of the strongest liquid ammonia put
into gallon of water in an open pan,
and the steam kept up by means of half
brick made red-hot throughout, and
put into the boiling water containing
the ammonia, the pan being placed in
the middle of a room, into which the
patients we're brought as the ammonia
steam was passing off. The method,
he says, was used in the evening, be-
fore bedtime, and it proved so effica-
cious in abating the spasmodlc attack,
and after three or four days terminating
the malady, as to establish, beyond
doubt, the value of this modeso inhal-
ing ammonia as therapeutic agent in
tranquilizing the nervous system in the
whooping- cough.
