Tempting to Crime.

A staid merchant of the Quaker City
recently failed to the amount of several
millions. An examination of his affairs
now reveals the fact that his confidential
agent had grossly betrayed his trust, and
had appropriated to his own use an ag-
gregate of s., 100000. It was the result
of over-confdence. So great was the
faith of the merchant in bis agent that
he never investigated his business, but
was content at the presentation of bal
ance sheet at certain intervals. Of
course, the crash and utter ruin which
followed were inevitable. The tempta-
ton was too great for the tempted man,
and the capitalist who by his careless
ness, made the crime possible cannot be
held innocent of the result. He should
have known that his agent was living
beyond his means, andin style of SPLEEN
dor that was as much envied by his
neighbors as it was unwarranted by his
income. Yet he simply did what others
do from day to day. How many mems
fortunes hang upon the honesty of a
clerk or agent, it is impossible to say,
but doubtless they are many. The story
of Abraham Jackson, in Boston Henry
Nicol, in New York, and Alexander
Erwin, in Philadelphia, is liable to con-
slant repetition. York CONNER

Japanese Houses.

A Yedo, Japan correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes The Japanese
have no architecture. Living as they do
ON volcanic sod, the first thing to be
guarded against is construction which
would invite destruction. Dwelling
houses, even OF the wealthy, seldom con-
sist of more than one story, many of the
poorer classes having simply ground
floor and garnet above. They are all
constructed of solid wooden frames, Of
ten of bamboo wood, strongly tied or
braced together, the walls being either
thin LAYER of mud or thin lathing, with
roof or heavy tiles. The houses III ia
pan contain no furniture. The floors of the
rooms are covered with soft mating 2
inches thick made into sections about 6
inches long and 3 inches wide, and
bound with black border. There are
no chairs, beds, stools, sofas, or any
thing to lie on or sit down upon, except
the mating. For pillows small wooden
boxes about 4 inches high are used.
The sides of the different rooms are
made into sliding partitions about
feet high, made of fine white wood, lat
ticed in small squares and covered with
thin, white, strong paper which resem-
bles parchment.

A Sick Drummer.
american

During the early part of the late war,
in the year 1861, shortly after the Federal
army moved from Washington out be-
yond Arlington, Gen. Levi s. Chatfeld,
of New York, went out to visit some
Ohio regiments, when the following incl
dent of the movement was related to
him AS they went along on their way,
some of the soldiers stepped out of the
ranks and confscated' couple of
geese, and at the suggestion of an ingen-
ious fellow and natural " hummer" one
of the drummers unheaded his instru-
ment and put the captured birds in.
Shortly afterward the Colonel came along
and noticed that the boy shirked his
usual drum whacks, rode up to him and
said, "Why don't you beat that drum r.
$ Colonel said the startled musician,
8. I want to speak to you" The Colonel
drew still closer to him, and bending
down his head, said, "Well, what have
you to say 2" The drummer whispered,
g Colonel, I've got couple of geese in
there" The Colonel Strengthened up
and gravely said, "Well, if you're sick
and can't play, you needn't, and then
rode on. It is needless to add that the
Colonel had roast goose that night.

Love and Insanity.

We obtained an idea of love differen-
TALLY as it exists in the sexes by observ-
ing the degree to which it affects men
and women as probable cause of insan-
ity. In the same manner I think we can
gain a knowledge of the comparative in
tensity with which emotion and states Of
consciousness, common to both sexes,
exist in intellection, by observing the
extent to which they react as probable
cause of mental alienation. For my pur-
pose I shall use DIR. Kirkbridge's report
for the Pennsylvania Hospital for the
Insane. The analysis is based upon the
supposed causes of insanity in 6,899
cases. Domestic difficulties are the
probable causes of mental disease In AZ
men and sc women. Nearly two to one
expresses the difference In intensity In
the action of this cause. Fright resulted
In insanity in Is men and 36 women;
grief affected " men and 256 women, a
difference of more than three to one; re-
igious excitement acts as the cause in
70 men and 127 women, difference of
81 per cent; nostalgia, women and no
men; from mental anxiety there are 164
men and 261 women insane. These
causes, which present such dissimilarity,
have one bond of union; they affect the
emotional part of the physical nature
From this [ would not conclude that
women are less able to bear the opera
ton Of these exciting causes than men;
but that the emotional nature of woman
is more largely developed, and thus more
exposed 70 the action of such causes as
directly affect it. If ] am right In this,
we would expect to see In women the
emotional forms of insanity developed in
excess of the same in men; and this is
just what we find. Continuing to ana
lyze the tables of DR.. Kirkbridge relat-
ing to the same cases as above, we find
tine number of women to be 1920, the
number of men exceeding them by 459;
and yet there are 1902 cases of melan-
cholia among the women to 832 in men.
Prof. Maudsley defines this form of in
sanity as So great oppression of the self
feeling, with corresponding gloomy,
morbid idea. p Popular Science

Pay the Minister.

Well, now, this is one of the prettiest
stories of the day. The Rev. DR.. Fur

man, tells it, and of course it must be
true. Not long ago lady called upon
the Doctor. He mentions that she was
of ga very interesting and lovely APP
pearance y but that has nothing to do
with the story. He had married her
some years before. She told him that
Heaven had not blessed her with chill

because her husband didn't give the Doc
tor any fee. This she insisted upon pay

Resuscitating the Drowned.

Itisnot improbable that many drowned
persons might be resuscitated, who are
left to perish for want of intelligent and
timely treatment. The rules proper In
such cases, which have been tested by
long experience, have been so often pub
lished that they ought to be generally
known. By way of giving a practical
illustration of them, we copy, substan-
TALLY, case mentioned by the writer of
that interesting little work recently pub
lished under the title of 'sThe French
at Home" In his walk one morning he
says he saw man pulled out of the
water, apparently drowned. He was
laid on the right side, the face turned
toward the ground, and the jaws gently
opened to facilitate the escape of water.
Several times the head was placed lit
tie lower than the rest of the body for
the same purpose, but only for few
seconds at time. In the meanwhile
there was regular manipulating process
to induce breathing, which consisted in
pressing the abdomen, stomach and
sides of the chest, but softly. The eff
forts were without effect; the man looked
as If he had seen the last of earth.
Then the PROSTATE figure was carried to
the nearest station for the rescue of the
drowned. Here the man was stripped
and wiped dry, and he was laid, turned
on the right side, between two blankets
on straw mattress. The manipulating
process was resumed, with intervals of
about quarter of a minute between
each pressure of the body, the pressure
being repeated fifteen or twenty times,
followed by a suspension of ten minutes.
Twenty minutes were passed III this way,
when physician employed on this kind
of service appeared and took charge of
the case. A warming pan filled with hot
water was passed over the body outside
of the blanket, particularly over the pit
Of the stomach and the sides OF the
chest. This was alternated with a gen
tie friction of hot wooden mittens, and
the naked hands and the soles Of the
feet and palms of the hands were vigor-
ously rubbed. An operator breathed
into the mouth of the man by means Of
tube. These efforts also proving I'D
vain, the physician had recourse to the
introduction of tobacco smoke into the
intestines. In about ten minutes the
man gave a feeble sign of life, where
upon all manipulation was discontinued
lest it should interfere with the natural
movement. Soon he showed desire to
vomit, which was assisted by feather
introduced into the throat. How long
the whole process lasted is not stated,
but the reader will see that it was
lengthy. A few days after the writer at
tended ball, and among the most lively
dancers he saw the drowned man.-Bos-

RE Rail to Mexico.

ST. Louis reioices, and probably not
without cause, that the negotiations for
the construction of the Mexican and the
United States railroad are at length
brought to satisfactory conclusion, and
that it is possible speedy completion will
pour into her lap the varied products of
Central America. On the goth of May
the Mexican Congress ratified by an al
most unanimous vote the contract for
this road concluded some months before
by Mexico and the International Railroad
Company of Texas. The gauge of the
road is to be four feet and eight and a
half inches, and its length between six
and seven hundred miles. Commencing
st the city of Leon it will run on a route
not yet precisely determined to the Rio
Grande, there to connect with the Texas
international road. This road lacks
nearly three hundred miles Of compile
ton, but, prosecuted vigorously, will be
finished within three years. The COM
pany which receives the valuable McN
can concession is required to deposit a
bond fer 100000 within six months
from the passage of the law, and must
obligate itself to complete one hundred
d1O bWCSGy A1I1Oo VI survey WAbIlAh
eighteen months, and the entire survey
within three years; to commence work on
the Rio Grande, within three years; to
complete sixty-two miles of road within
fifteen months after the commencement of
the work; to complete seventy-fve miles
every year thereafter, and to finish the
line within nine years of entering upon
the work. The Mexican government is
disposed to be generous, but insists
upon speed. If the road is completed
in eight years the company will be paid
a premium of 800, 900; if in seven years,
$500, 900; if in six years, 5000, 600; if in
five years, 81 100000. Aside from these
provisional premiums the company is to
receive from the government donation
of SIS, 289 per mile, is to be exempt
from taxation for fifty years, and to be
entitled to full rebate for fifteen years
on all articles required for construction
and operation. Thus bolstered by sub
sides and melted by premiums the COM
pany, it is thought, will hurry the road
toward completion Mexico will be an
immediate gamer by this enterprise.

A KNOWING DoG.-A quiet game of
draw, quarter-ante, was in progress re-
Gently at Chico, California. One of the
party managed to get heart flush, ace
at the head, out of the deck, and laid it
in his lap, waiting chance to play it.
Presently the chance came. The guile
less gentleman counted out forty dollars
better with one hand, and quietly went
down with the other hand for that flush.
It wasn't there He had to play his
original hand. Two of the party called
his forty dollars better, and one Of them
in the showdown produced the identical
heart flush that he had been at such
pains to secure. He knew it was the
same, for the ace was crimped just as he
had done it. The secret was that Ira
Wetherbee's dog, /" Patsey," had quietly
put his nose in, picked up the flush, car
ried it around to his friend, wagged his
tail knowingly, and walked off.
