An Embarrassing Situation.

About noon yesterday, says the Detroit
Free Pres, a freight clerk at the Central de
pot thought he would like TO have a gcod
wash and nice swim, and he proc seded
down the yards to slip, looked all around
10 gee II a policeman was in sight, and then
ehed his linen and made 4 dive. lie LEFT
his clothes on some boards, where he had a
fair field 10 look out that the boys didn't
Nv in on them, and he came out of the wa
ter happy and refreshed. lie looked for
his pants, and they had disappeared. lie
looked down the yards and saw a big dog
playing with them. The canine would toss
and catch them as they came down. and
then he would pretend that they were game,
and the clashing sound of his teeth could be
plainly heard The clerk started for the
dog, but Just then, several woman, looking
for sn excursion boat, came in sight, and he
had 10 dodge around lumber pile. When
the woman had passed, he began whi'tling
nj the dog, hut he might as well have whis-
tied 10 a barn. Then he tried the most per-
suasive coaXing, and when that had no e.
feet he hurled club. The dog picked up
the pants, and disappeared around corner
of the wheat eleva tor, where he was sate. The
clerk nut on his shirt and vest and started
in pureuit, but heard passenger train com
ing in and had to get back. Pretty soon he
noticed small boy down by the elevator,
and he called to him. Some more excur-
sion women happened along, and hearing
cries, they approached the lumber. The
clerk put his head out and warned them
that he was insane, and they halted. The
boy came up, two workmen approached, and
finally crowd Of forty stood gazing at the
lumber pile, not one Of whom dared ap-
proach Tor long time. Then two OF the
men armed themselves with clubs ard
aanked around, then threw stones over the
pile to scare him ont, and before any one
new who il was and what had occurred, the
wd had grown to hundred. The clerk
lily made them undo! stand what was the
u, and when his torn and tatlered
looms were brought him he slipped
into lem and skulked down along by 4
freight train, swearing at every jnmr.

The following interesting observations o;
the changes that occur from hour 10 hour

from Sturm's Reflections:
The hen has scarcely sat on her eggs
twelve hours before some lineaments Of the
head and body of the chicken appear. The
heart may be seen to beat ut tie end of the
second day; it has at that time somewhat
the form of a horse shoe, but no blood vet
appearr At the end OF two days two YES
sells Of blood are to be distinguished, the
pulsstion of which is visible; one of these
il the left ven,ricle, and the other the root
Of the grea: artery. At the fifiieth hour one
ON auricle of the heart appears, resembling
a moose folded down upon itself. The beat
ieg of the heart is first observed in tie auri-
Gle, and afterward in the ventricle. At the
end Of seventy hourr, the wings are distin-
guishable; and on the head two bubbles are
seen for the brain, one tor the bill, and two
for the fore and hind part Of the head.
Toward the end of the fourth dav, tie two
auricles already visible draw nearer 10 the
heart than before. The liver appears to-
ward the fifth day. At the end Of eev. n
hours more, the lungs and the stoms ca be.
como visible; and four hours aiter~ ards
the intestines, ana loins, and the upper
law. At the one hundred and forty -,ourth
hour, two ventricles are visible, and two
drops Of blood instead Of the single one
which Vas sesn before. The seventh day,
the brain begins 10 have rome CONSISTENCY.
At the one hundred ard nineteenth hour of
incubation, the bill opene, and the flesh ap-
pears in the breast. In four hours mere the
breast hnae i seen. In six hours after thi.
