Three Singular Incidents.

Three rather striking incidents, SINH
lar in character, and each connected
with death scene, have occurred here
recently, in one case escaping comment
by the press entirely, and in the others,
attracting but passing comment. a
few days ago 4 man, smoking pipe,
slipped from wharf boat into the Mis-
sissippi river. and was drowned. Event
ually. his body was recovered, and he
was still smoking; ut least, the pipe was
still in his mouth, held there rs jaun
tily and comfortable as when he took
the fatal plunge. 1t made singular
spectacle. that corpse with the dndhecn.
Still later. only last week, a suicide by
hanging occurred here, and the dead
man was found with a toothpick be-
tween his teeth, so coolly had he gone
about his desperate work. He was ont
OF employment, Il young man named
Sylvester from New York.
The two incidents above related We're
merely the grotesque features of TRACE
dies. One which took place at the ST.
Louis Poorhouse few weeks ago. was
more striking than either, and less I'M
pleasant in its nature. At the poor
house, as ut most poorhonses, there are
constantly among the inmates number
of old men past the age when men can
support themselves, but respectable.
and dependent on charity only because
of some bad turn of fortune, which has
bcreft them of kindred or friends.
Among the inmates of this class was.
until lately, one pleasant old gentleman,
about through with the things of this
world, and finding occupation and En-
joyment only in his pipe, and an occa-
sional chat with some crony about the
institution. He had been ailing during
the early part of the season, but seemed
getting better as the Summer came ON,
and likely to last for. possibly, months.
One day he wandered ont with another
old man of about his type, and the two
sat down together, to smoke and talk of
the time when they were strong men,
capable of taking care, not only of them
selves, but of others. For Il long time
they thus enjoyed themselves, the inva-
lid finally filling his pipe, and leaning
back. with closed eyes, to partake at the
same time of the satisfaction of the
weed, and listening to the "reminiscences
of his talkative companion. The tale
went on drowsily, and the old listener
smoked and nodded, until at last his
pipe went out, unnoticed by the other.
All things must come to an end, though,
and SO at last did the old man $ CONVEX
sation. Then he noticed that his com
panion had ceased to smoke. He called
to him loudly to awake, but there was
no response. He shook him. and then
he saw that he had been talking, no one
will ever know how long, to one who
could not hear him. The old panper
had quite done with the St. Louis Poor
house. He sat there placidly. with his
pipe in his mouth, seemingly doing,
but dead.-.St Louis Cor. Cmcintoh Ga-

EAPE AS HONEY ILANT. IA. -.
Krusche, Berlin. Wis, writes the Ameri-
cue Bee Jomnoi: AS honey produc
ing plant the rape is scarcely second to
the linden, producing Il beautiful gol-
den honey of good flavor, and is in bios
som when nearly every thing else is ont
of blossom, commencing about August
10Th, and continuing a couple of weeks.
AS farm crop, it is as good if not bet
ter than wheat. The time for sowing is
from the middle to the end of June.
This gives time to prepare the soil after
other crops are in; or, if wheat or corn
should fail in coming up, rape can be
sown in their places. 1t is harvested
from the middle to the last of Septcm-
Der, after all other grain is harvested.
1t does not impoverish the soil, but
benefits it. From five to eight bushels
more per acre of wheat are raised on
ground which had rape the previous
year. 1t let's no weeds grow after it is
fairly started, growing very denae and
its leaves completely shade the ground.
therefore it does not suffer from drouth
like other grains. The seed has q good
cash market at Fond du Lac, Wis.
where oil is extracted from it, and
brings from $50 to $500 per bushel.
From 10 to Is bushels are generally pro-
duced per acre, but it is oftener over
than under this estimate. Two quarts
are sufficient to SOW an acre. Thousands
of bushels are annually raised in Calu-
met county, and it is just as staple as
wheat. Those doubling my statement
| refer to Report of Agriculture, 1870.
HEAT OF THE HUMAN BODY. Some
remarkable observations have lately
been made in regard to the heat of the
human body. BY means of an ingenious
instrument recently invented by DR..
Lombard, of New York, it is ascertained
that Il woman's body is warmer than that
of man by about three-fourths of
degree, and sometimes as high as one
half degree, while in no instance has
the warmth of males body been found
to be greater than that of Il female. 1t
is also definitely ascertained that chill
dren are decidedly warmer than adults.
the difference being about one degree
Fahrenheit, the younger the child the
greater the diversity. A difference in
the heat of the sides of the body is dis
covered to be an invariable law. The
left side of the head, and extending
downward to the base of the neck, is
much hotter than the right side.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1876-10-28

SAYS n Boston paper: "When we
- come to think of it, there is but very
little difference between postage stamp
and boy hanging on behind cab.
The first you have to lick to make it
stay on, while the latter you have to
lick to make him stay of.

EXPLOITS or A IIGEi;.-An IDEA the
natives have regarding the nature of the
tiger is, that once the animal has tasted
human blood, il will, in preference to
devouring cattle, seize any man it can
get hold Of. The idea is beside the
question at issue but as the following
remarkable incident. illustrative of it,
which fell under the writer's notice,
may prove interesting to the reader, he
ventures to narrate it. 1t happened
just after the mutiny of 1857, when the
people had been disarmcd, and were mn
able to defend their cattle from wild
beasts. How the tiger to which the
story relates had acquired taste for
human blood was never cleared up; but
so great was his partially for it, that he
would rush among herd of cattle and
carry off the keeper leaving the cattle
unmolested. Such was the daring of
the brute, that one night he entered
hut, in the outskirts of village. which
was occupied by man. his wife and
child. He first seized the child, and
was carrying it Off, when the mother
rushed after him with Ratchet the
tiger dropped the child and seized the
woman, WHO'LL, III tliTll. Dt ulSO ulOl)I'ctt,
on seeing the man pursuing him. The
woman was too much injured to con-
tinue pursuit, but succeeded by her
screams in arousing some of the villa
gers. When they came to her aid pnr-
suit was useless, for the brute had got
clear away. The remains of the man
were found next day; the woman died
few days afterward but the child,
which was not very much injured, sur
vived. The tiger was killed short
time subsequently,, by a native Shikari
(huntsman) who had obtained license
to keep firearms.
CHANGING A CHARGE.-A prominent
newspaper man of Norwich has been
visiting the Centennial, and during his
sojourn at that place he dined at one of
the French restaurants. When the bill
for the meal was presented to him he
meekly intimated that his boiled egg
contained chicken. The polite waiter
said that he would have the bill cor
rected, and soon returned with u new
bill, upon which the charge 30 cents
for egg had given place to an lem
of GO cents for chicken. y worcester

LIFE on THE EAETH.-Prof. Z. G..
TAFT, of the University of Edinburgh.
in his lectures on recent advances in
physical science, lately published, con-
siders the question how long life has
been possible on the earth. He con-
cludes that II, 0O0, 900 years is ''the ut
most that can be allowed from the
physical point of view for all the
changes that have taken place on the
earth's surface since vegetable life of
the lowest known form was capable of
existing there Opposed to this is the
view of the most eminent modern geolO-
gists, that at least 800, 900, 900 years have
passed away since terrestrial life began.

The indian Mode of Taking Bath.

The Inyo Independent says: "Most
of orr readers have seen or heard of
the Indian sweat-house, but few have
Witnessed the interesting treatment the
Indian receives when he is In anyways
indisposed; when he begins to feel the
effects of the filth that has accumulated
on his person for months, he forthwith
takes a sweat bath in order to get up
internal force enough to shed the old
scales on the outside. The sweat-house
is built of sort of wicker-work covered
with sod and dirt; hole is left for the
smoke TO escape and fire kindled at
the entrance. the patient strips
and lays down inside; In
few minutes he commences to
steam, perspire, and smell so sweet
that the oriental custom of steamlng
falls into insignifcanee compared with
this primitive method. This is kept up
until the patient is lightened of his out
side crust, then he rushes out and
plunges head first into a stream OF ICY
cold mountain water. This part OF the
programme. however, was omitted the
other day at Fish Springs by Big Mouth
Sack and Fish Spring Jim, who, while
enjoying this luxury, found their sweat
house on fire, and the way they hustled
out was credit to their lazy natures.
They experienced no damage. however,
except to change the copper color OF
sheir backs into beautiful pinto.
