AN ELDERLY LADY SLocKINGLY BURNED.
Yesterday morning Mrs Mary E. Thompson,

while using q linimcnt OF turpentine ana other

was shockingly and dreadfully burned-so badly
burned, indeed, that she may not get well again.
She had been suffering for some time with rheu-
matism OF the chest and was advised to apply
turpentine lniment. She was sitting near II
stove in which fire was burning, with her breast
exposed. A saucer containing the liniinent was
on the stove hearth. Her daughter, Mrs. Sarah
b. Meekins, was making the application with a
piece OF flannel saturated in the linment Un-
fortunately the flannel fell from her hand to the
stove and caught fire, blazing up instantancously
Mrs. Thompson, who was somewhat excited by
the suddenness OF the occurrence, hurriedly
caught up the blazing rag 10 throw 1t out the
door, but the flames quickly caught the turpen-
tine on her breast and Instantly set her flesh on
fire from the waist upwards. Losing all her pres

daughter, the unfortunate woman uttered pisrc-

Taking it COOIIX.

A startling incident recently occur
red on the steamer Schuyler, at short
distance above Rhinecliff. It seems
that one of the deck hands was leaning
on one of the forward rails, when an
other one, out Of mischief, pulled the
bolt, intending to only partially loosen
it and thus scare his companion. It
came out altogether, however, and the
man on the rail took plunge in to the
Hudson headforemost. He fell before
the wheel, and his escape from instant
death seems miraculous. His dive was
SO deep that the paddles missed him
and he came up astern, floating like
duck. He was good swimmer and
held his own till rescued. AS he went
down the cry of "man overheard !"
was raised, and intense excitement en-
sued among the passengers The steamer
was under full Roadway, and before she
could be brought up the unfortunate
chap was mile behind. The steamer
was backed, and as it approached the
lost one he was found floating on his
back, singing. He was apparently
less concerned that any body else, and
In response to the calls of his friends
sang out that he was coming. He was
taken aboard and the.boat proceeded.

The Life of an Indigo Planter.

For some six months in the year the
indigo planter in India is in the sad
die from six o'clock in the morning I'M
til noon, experimenting the blowing,
the sowing, the wedding, and the
reaping. About the end of June, SAYS
the London News, "Mahaye" begins,
and lasts until the beginning of Sep

OF the indigo, the MASKING and beat
ing of it in great watts, and running it off
OF the water into other watts, and the
treatment of the stuff through the va
rious stages until it energies from the
presses . veritable indigo. worth ever
SO many rupees pound. "Mahaye"
occurs IN the very hottest part of the In
dian year but the indigo planter must
disregard the heat if he is to keep up
his character and earn commission. He
spends hours every day in little shed
perched high over his watts, whence he
superintends the labors of the coolies.
and sees for himself that the MASKING is
thorough and the running off takes
place in the nick of time. He must
generally pervade the press-house, and
1t will not do for him to be dainty over
stain Of blue on his hands or face.
He must superintend the storing, for
the mild Hindoo is not proverbial for
honesty, and feels sorely tempted when
the chance offers to carry off piece of.
indigo which will hardly make a knot
in his 'cummerbund, and yet for which
ne can realize a rupee When "Ma-
haye" is over, the cold weather is think
ing OF setting in, and then, after giving
start to his cultivation, the indigo
planter feels himself free man for
season. His holiday time has come,
and he is the man who knows how to
enjoy holiday time.

Tho Ascent of Mont Blanc.

Statistics recently published con-
corning the ascent Of Mont Blanc show
that from the time of the first ascent
by Balmat, In 1855, 724 persons have
reached the summit, but for some
years after the earliest attempts by
Balmat and De Saussure, long inter
walls elapsed during which no one ven
tured upon the hazardsome enterprise.
There were no ascents between 1888
and 1902, and between 1902 and 1909.
Since 1850, however, the summit has
IN no year been altogether unlisted,
but the greatest number of ascents be-
tween that date and the year 1860 were
20 in 1854 and "a in 1856. From 1861
to 1865 the numbers rose to 80, "a, 81,
63, Sc, and fell in 1870 to Il. Twenty
two ascents took place.in 1871, 81 in
1872, and finally IS in 1878. This year
is likely to show much larger num-
Der. the ascents having begun on the
Sd of June, whereas the Sd Of Jul was
the date of the first attempt made in
1873.

Fascinated by Paris.

Countess d'Eu, daughter of the EN-
peror of Brazil, and wife of Count d Eu,
Duke Nemoursson, was so fascinated
by Paris that she positively refused to
go to Rio de Janeiro to be confined.
Now, the law OF that Empire provides
that no person shall be considered a
prince OF the royal blood and eligible
to inherit the crown unless he be born
ON Brazilian soil. Her refusal was so
pertlnacious that the Rio Government
sent out here commission empowered
to declare the house in which she was
confined to be Brazilian territory. Her
family, fearing that her child's title to
the throne might be considered lmper-
fect, OF at ali events give rise to unde-
slrable discussions, continued to press
her to return to Brazil She has at the
last moment acceded to their wishes.
She carries with her two midwives and
two nurses.-PariS Letter. ,e o.g

Mortality Among the Sheep in Angora

1t seems from the statistics of the
mortality OF goats and sheep in the pro-
vince OF Angora, Anatolia, for the years
1873 and 1874, that the number of Mo-
hair goats has decreased during the
past winter from 859, 932 to 1853, 298.
The common goats and sheep have been
reduced IN numbers from Loss, 731 to
lS6, 399: This computation, which is
ofhclal, being taken from the "sheep tax
ledger" of the local government, does
not include the three districts of Yoz-
gat, Kalsserlch and Kirsheir. The dis
trlct which comparatively suffered most
Is that OF Nomadik, which lost all it's
flocks: while at that of Yokara- Cassaba
they were reduced from 1913, O15 to 90
$50. The district of Angora suffered
less than most Of the surrounding dis
trlcts, losing only 1,195 out of 2. 1878.
Ihe estimated returns of the tax for the
present year, as compared with those of
1873, show falling off of about two
thirds. Last year the sum collected in
taxation was 8,419, 755 piastres, whereas
this year the estimated sum is ONLY
z, TAO, 88l. The immediate loss to the
peasantry is said to be "terrible:" to
the treasury the direct loss will not be
considerable but in an indirect man
ner the disasters Of the last few months
will tell heavily upon the revenue. and
1t will probably be many years before
the unhappy province will recover it's
former prosperity.

Dime Novels OutdOne.

A remarkable edition of works of
Sir Walter Scott is now coming out
IN Edinburgh. Each of the numerous
novels of the "Wizard.-.of the North"
IS published complete in one volume,
and each Of the volumes is sold at the
amazing price of one cent Ca half
penny We understand that the
poems and some of the other works
OF the author are to be issued in like
style at the same price. The type is
very small (ruby;) the paper is not
the costliest, and each work is got into
a sheet Of thirty-two pages but the
printing is clear, and easily read bv
people who have good eyes as everv-
body ought to have. Thus, for aboHt
dollar one can supply himself with
complete edition of Scott, which will
keep him in such reading for number
OF years, unless he be a literary glutton.
We take occasion to call the attention
OF our American book publishers to
the fact that very cheap editions of
the great British classics though this
Is the cheapest of them all-are be-
coming common in Great Britain. It
is found, too, that these publications
pay; for not only are they themselves
sold by the hundred thousand, -
they do a great deal to extend tn
for literature. 'f'..*<

Unfermented Wine.

Some have claimed that it is almost
impossible to have unfermented wine
for sacramental occasions. The Juice
OF the grape prepared to taste and her
metically sealed in bottles, just as fruit
is canned. may be kept for months and
years. The Advance, of Chicago, says:
cover 500 churches in and about New
York city, and over $50 in and around
Philadelphia, have banished alcoholic
vines from the communion table. And
every church in the land ought to fol-
low their example. Because of inner
tied appetites, or an old slavery to
drink, there are multitudes of church
members in our land who put their
souls in peril when they take to their
lips the Tuning, fermented wine that is
often found in the communion cup.
We know of good people who dare not,
on this account, go to the Lords table.
There is no good reason for using fer
mented wine at this ordinance; and, if
there were no other, the reason we have
given is conclusive reason for not
using it."

The Plumage of Humming Birds,

The wonderful change in color that
takes place, according to the posi-
ton of light, from brilliant green.
through the brightest golden tinfs to
intense velvety black, or from black to
emerald, or ruby, or crimson, or flame
color, reminds one of fairy-land, or the
tales Of the genii. Where a metallic
lustre prevails the plumage is always
composed of feathers SO shaped as to
appear to have the form of scales.
The birds vary in respect to the parts
that have these feathers. While most
have them on the throat, many have
them on the breastor head others have
them also on the back some have them
also on the wing -coverts or tail: and q
few of them have them on nearly all
parts; except the long wing feathers.
which are generally of a purplish
brown. 1t may here be asked "What
causes the gorgeous metallic lustre of
their plumage, and the rich changing
tints of the various colors, representing
every hue of the rainbow, purple. anne.
thyst, fiery crimson, brilliant ruby,
radiant topaz, emerald green, resplend-
ent blue, and glossy violet, which in
o0i '<'Ah iiS noS, olteA gleam With reful-
gence, that almost dazzle the eye ?"
They have been attributed to various
causes; but 1t appears to be the con-
dltion OF the surface of the feathers
that produces the iridescence. The
surface is striated, or has minute fur
rows, Like the nacre, or mother of-pearl
OF the Haliotis, and other sea shells, |
which decOmpose the lipht-absorhino 6, |
part, and rejecting part and the color
of the reflected light depends upon the
angle Of the incident ray to the surface. 7
and varies as the angle varies. In one
direction of the incident the lightwil be
wholly absorbed, and, none being re-
itected, the surface willappear intensely
black. 1t will readily be perceived
that every movement of the bird pro-
d1ces more or less change of color

An Alaska Mummy.

L. Sheeran, Collector Of Customs at
Kodiak, Alaska, has in his possession
an Aleutian mummy, procured from
a cave on Kodiak Island. The mum
my is described by a correspondent of
the Alaska Herald as 'ssimply skin
and bone" He is now, and was when
found, sitting in crouehing position.
his head turned to the right, his
face directly on a line with his right
shoulder. When the skin is touched
it sounds like drum. Part of his
hair is on, and his mustache is perfect.
Portions of his skin parka (shirt) re
MAN,. and his tarbasaux (boots)
are nearly perfect. It is worthy Of
mention that, although the mummy
has been exposed for over year,
there is no change preceptible. The
implements found with him denote
that many years have elapsed since the
gentleman was deposited in the cave. "

ed just in time to save those noble
structures, the Matteson and Gardner
houses, and the exposition building.
The wooden cupola of the German
Evangelical Church, corner Polk and
Third avenue, was set on fire by the
sparks and the church almost destroyed
before the flames reached the wooden
buildings Immediately south of it. At
this point an effort was made to blow
up some of the buildings.
Under the direction of Mark Sheri-
dan, Col. Lippincott, and Capt. A. Nc
Cloud, key of powder was placed in
No. % Polk street, two-story frame
building. The destruction of the build
ing was complete. Powder was next
placed in the frame building on the
southwest corner of Polk street and
Third avenue. By this time, however,
the flames were so close that before the
place could be cleaned out they had
crossed the street and broken out north
of Polk. Several attempts were after
ward made to blow up buildings on
State street, between Polk and Van
Buren,, notablys'at the st. James Hotel
but nothing efectual was accomplished.
1t was impossible to obtain powder in
sufficient quantities to accomplish the
work. The fire was throttled about
midnight.
The boundaries of the fire are as fol-
lows: On Clark street, from No. 527 to
No. SOB; thence skipping five build
ings, from corner of Taylor to No. 467
Clark thence the. line runs to corner
of Polk street and Fourth avenue. At
Fourth avenue, down the east side to
building at corner of Harrison, which
escaped; thence across to State, down
on east side of State half block;
thence to corner of Van Buren,, from
Van Buren, to Nos. 267 and 269 Wa
bush avenue, between Jackson and Van
Buren, streets, the point where the fire
was extinguished. On the south, the
line runs northeasterly from No. 527
Clark street, keeping within 800 feet of
Twelfth street, and within half block
of Fourth avenue; thence north to No.
274 Fourth avenue; from Fourth ave-.
nue. northeasterly to No. SIC State ST.;
from State street to No. A Eldridge

New Treatment for Consumption.

DR.. VIM. Koch, of Berlin, well known
to specialties from his investigations in
the domain of modern surgery, and
from his treatise of gun shot fractures,
has discovered a new method of treat
ment for consumption. It consists of
healing the affected portions of the
lungs by injections of iodine, SO as to
check the progress of fostering, which
is the origin of the disease. This
treatment has been tested in the great
hospitals of Berlin within short time,
among others at the Royal Charity, i'll
the presence of the most eminent
surgeons: The reports Of the cases in
which this treatment has been admin
lstered are favorable, and hold out
promise of complete cure. For many
years DR.. Koch has been trying the ex-
pertinent with animals, having tested
1t with more than three hundred, at a
vast outlay of time and money.

Too Short and Too Long

Marriages in Kentucky are not always
performed according to previously
arranged programmes. Quite an unex-
pected interlude occurred in a cere-
mony performed by Squire Payne, in
Franklin county, a few days ago, be-
twee very small lady and six and
a-half footer. When the magistrate
asked the question, "whether there
were any lawful objections why the
two should not be joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock, one of the company
stepped forward, and, with much
gravity, objected to further proceedings
In the case, on the ground that one of
the party was too short and the other
too long; that it wouldn't begin to do
as there was no match in the case.
After some confusion with the Justice
and commotion ID the company present,
the squire overruled the objections as
frivolous, andproceeded to perform the
rites. tt5 2.
