Remarkable Experience of Boston
LAWYER in a Haunted House.

The Boston Herald reyives the
haunted house sensation at Springvale,
Me-, by telling the story of one Edw.
III. Mulliken, Boston merchant. who
braved its horrors on Thursday ever
ing, in spirit of curiosity. Shortly
after o'clock he was entranced, and
remained In that condition till mid
night, when he retired to a lounge in
an adjoining room. During the trance
he communicated several facts in con-
nection with the building, stating that
terrible murder had been perpetrated
upon the premises at some previous
time. At $50, when the room was
lighted, the door opened, and large,
thlck-set figure entered, approached the
sofa, and inquired the time also if the
watcher was resting well, placed his
hands on his shoulder, and suddenly
vanished. Noises were heard at inter
walls, nowise traceable. Subsequently
the figure returned, repeated his pre-
vious inquiries, the light still burning.
retreated an instant and appeared.
brandishing a huge club above the
watchers head. Paralyzed with horror.
Mr.. Mulliken cooked his pistol, took
deliberate aim at the figure, but the
weapon refused to do its duty. In
stantly substituting a fresh cap, a Sec
ond attempt was equally unsuccessful
Terrified, he arose, but the figure had
vanished no more to return. Nervous
and agitated, he remained till morning,
when he surprised the tenants with his
experience, not, however, more mar
velous than they had themselves wit
messed; and was equally surprised to
learn of his entrancepent the previous
evening, he having been unconscious of
it. The spirits warned the inmates not
to allow MIR. Mulhken to retire to an
upper apartment, stating that the effects
might have proved fatal to one of his
temperament. Mr. Nj. is 10 advocate
OF Spiritualsm, and regards the whole
affair as unaccountable. His expert
ence has awakened fresh interest in
this mystery.

Cosmetics.

To render the skin clear and soft
bathe the entire body daily, if possible,
in water of the temperature most agree
able in its effects upon the bather.
Cold bathing is injurious to may peo-
pie who are benefited by a bath in
tepid water in room of moderate
warmth. In every case it is better to
rub the entire surface of the body till it
is in a glow, and then cover according
to the season, always wearing clothes
enough to keep the body comfortably
protected when away from the fire.
Eat temperately, avoid heavy suppers,
concentrated dishes, such as rich pud-
dings, pastries and cakes eschew pork,
which is an enemy to transparent COM
plexion decline hot bread, gross meats
and rich gravies, and exercise freely In
the open air. Gluttony and Incidence
are foes from which beauty always re-
tires In inglorious defeat.
To give expression to the eye, cherish
as the lares and penates of the soul love
for truth, for the divine beautyvisible in
the world all around US, for heavenly
charity, for whatever is noble and pure
and just, and, in the nature of things,
imperishable. This will give luster to
the dullest eye and light up the plain
est face with the fires from Gods own
altar.
To give an erect and graceful carriage,
live with high aim and noble pur-
pose. This may be but to make the

er the faultless ideal. Or it may have
a wider range and larger scope, look
ing toward theelevation of the degraded,
the education of the ignorant, and the
comforting of the afflicted. Living for
ones self stamps the bearing with an
impress from which everybody shrinks
and turns away. The unspoken con-
seriousness of the selfish person writes
itself in every feature and in every
gesture, even as self forgetfulness and
lofty resolution make their own proud
mark, read of all men, on those whom
the nations delight to honor.
To perfect the shape of the hand, even
when marred, use it in giving and In

To clothe the whole person with at

in the goodness and mercy of God, and
cultivate warmth and active good will
toward all men. Charity coyereth the
multitude of defects.

ITALIAN C1TIEs.-One remarkable
feature in italian cities is that you see
no new buildings in course of erection,
growth in that respect having appar-
emily ceased. A new street is being
opened, broad and serviceable, from the
square of Carlo Felicie, in Genoa, di-
rectly to the Notifications of the city, in
its course destroying one or two private
palaces of no mean pretensions, and of
centuries in age. King Victor
Emanuel has taken a lesson In this re-
spect from Napoleon III, and this is
the fourth or fifth boulevard which he
has opened lately in Genoa, which has
for centuries been famous for its mar
row and almost inaccessible streets.
1t is no exaggeration to say that one
half the streets of the city are so narrow
as to render the passage of vehicle
through them simply impossible I;
everything of size and weight delivered
therein is brought on the backs of DON
keys, or more commonly on the heads
of women.

Arsenic Eaters.

1t seems almost incredible that any
person can be guilty of the madness of
resorting to the use of poisons, either
internally or externally, for the purpose
of improving the complexion. Arsenic
in any form in which it is used-al-
though not in pure metallic state, and
before oxidation-is a terrible poison.
If taken in sufficient quantities, it
causes death after excruciating suffer-
ing. In small doses it produces very
unpleasant effects, and undoubtedly
shortens life. The habit of eating
arsenic once confirmed cannot be broken
off, A person is to be looked upon as
idiotic who will deliberately adopt the
practice of taking such an in
furious and dangerous drug, merely
for the purpose of whitening the skin.
But there are other substances much
more commonly used than arsenic for
their effect upon the complexion, which
are also highly deleterious. Many of
the cosmetics which are sold contain
lead, and there are few poisons which
produce results more to be dreaded
than those occasioned by lead. Even
as used in hair-dyes, it occasions neu-
ralgia, paralysis, suffrring and death.
Seek good looks by seeking health by
early rising, outdoor exercise, whole
some food, a clear conscience and the
cultivation of cheerful temper, and
not by the use of arsenic or any other
poison.

Different Kinds of Ewes.

No branch of science has been more
thoroughly mastered than optics. The
principle of vision must be essentially
the same mall eyes, but they differ re-
markably according to the habits of the
animal. Birds of lofty flight, as the
condors, eagles, vultures and carbon
seeking providers of the feathered race.
have telescope visions, and thus they
are enabled to look down and discover
their unsuspecting victims. As they
approach noiselessly from above, the
axis of vision changes-shortening, so
that they can see as distinctly within
one foot of the ground as when at an
elevation of one mile in the air..
This fact explains the balancing OF
the tish-hawk on its pinions, half mile
above still pond watching for fish.
When one is selected down the savage
hunter plunges, the focal axis varying
always to the square view of his intend
ed prey. AS they ascend, the axis is
elongated by a curious muscular ar
rangement, SO as to see far off again.
Snails have their keen eyes at the ex-
tremity of flexible horns, which they can
protrude or draw in at pleasure. By
winding the instrument around the edge
of leaf or stalk, they can see how mat
tiers stand on the opposite side.
The hammer-headed shark has its
wicked-looking eyes nearly two feet
apart. By will or effort they can bend
the thin edges of the head, ON which the
organs are located, so as to examine the
sides of an object the size of full
sized Goldfish.
Flies have immovable eyes. They
stand out from the head like half an
apple, exceedingly prominent. Instead
of smooth hemispheres, they have an
immense number of facets, resembling
Old-fashioned glass watch-seals, each
one directing the light directly to the
optic rstina. That explains why they
cannot be approached in any direction
without seeing what is coming.

Civilization.

"What is to be the future of Africa p
"WIIl the negro be civilized?" To
these questions Sir Samuel Baker, the
great English traveller, replies in his
late speech at the Royal Pavilion,
Brighton, by very seasonable word of
advice and rebuke. It has, says Sir
Samuel, taken eighteen centuries to
bring the Briton to his present civiliza-
ton, but "the grand advance has been
made in our own lifetime" Within a
century and half witches were burnt
in England and within two centuri es
torture still was British institution.
And yet, adds Sir Samuel, "our great
grandfathers were as proud of their civ
ilization as we are of ours, in spite of
what we think now of their penal codes
and social manners. Our railways,
steamships, electric telegraphs, our gas
lamps, our photography, date from yes
terday or the day before the great i'm
provements in the science of astronomy,
chemistry and mechanics are almost of
to-day. Let us, therefore the
words of the great traveller" mot boast
of our civilization, but only of our prog
ress toward a desired end" Indeed,
the question whether we are as yet quite
civilized might fairly be asked of our
selves. The ignorance, vice and bru-
tality found in our great cities should
certainly teach us to be little more
modest in our pretensions, and little
less inconsiderate in our impotence of
the slow process of civilizing, or at least
improving, savage negro tribes.-Iater-

Lucy ii. Hooper, writing from Paris
to the Philadelphia Press, relates some
dire experiences of Americans with their
domestlcs. She says THE expert
ence OF one gentleman really merits
special mention. His wife discovered

underclothing had disappeared, as well
as valuable jeweled watch. The po-
lice were called in, search was made.
and the missing undergarments were
found in the trunk of the lady's maid.

said he, the parties that have come
here to prosecute my client are Ameri-
cans. They are wealthy; they could
very well afford to supply this poor
woman with underclothing she did not
steal the things she needed them, and
she merely took them. Moreover, the
lady was culpably careless in leaving
her drawers and trunks open to expose
my client to temptation and besides.

to enable him to quit France, he being
