Danger Of Sleeping in Moonlight.


The evil consequences liable to result
from exposure to a burning sun are
only too we'll understood. but it is per-
haps not 50 generally known that in
many parts Of the world. notably in
India, there IS q strong and very gen.
eral prejudice against sleeping in full
moonshine, as it is supposed to produce
.moonstroke." An old Indian resident
has recently been devoting his atten-
ton to the subject and comes to the
conclusion that any i'll effects arising
from sleeping in the moonlight are not
due to any direct influence of the moon
itself. His. explanation of the origin Of
this prevalent belief in the baleful quail
tiles Of the Goddess of Night is very
rational. and may be summarized thus:
A clear sky admits of rapid radiation,
and any person exposed to such radia-
ton is sure to be chilled BY rapid loss
OF heat There is reason to believe that
under the circumstances paralysis of
one side of the face Is sometimes likely
to occur from chill, a. one side of the
face is more likely to be exposed to
rapid radiation. and consequent loss Of
heat This chill ID more likely to occur
when the sky is perfectly clear and in
full moon. The whole matter thus
comes clear on this explanation. Pro

A Universal

The philolagers may take a back seat,
with all their schemes about improving
Or reforming u English language. A
youth Of barely "a years has invented a
universal language-nO less--for all
nations of the world" his claim reads:
1t is not like Stephen Pearl Andrews
l"AlwatO." which few men. considering
the prevalent shortness Of life, will ever
look into seriously enough TO see whether
or not it has any merits. This is q sort
Of language that one may learn to read
in four weeks and speak in three
months. 1t consists of twenty-four
sounds, with q letter for each; no sounds
are used except such as most nations
have in common; the difficult consO-
nants are Ommitted-nO German Oh, no
English tA, no S%clavOnic e. Every
letter is pronounced exactly SO; there
are no irregularities and no exceptions.
Passing to words. there will be no de-
clensions, all relations Of case to lie ex-
pressed by propositions; plurals are
made by addings. There are three gen.
ders-masculine, feminine. and neuter.
There is but One conjunction of verbs,
and lenses are largely formed by auxil-
iaries. All substantives. and verbs and
adjectives are Interchangeable; compare
son is made by modifying words. The
roots of this absolute language are
drawn from all languages, but particu-
larly from the Latin. To exemplify
one run of words: Forum, to be fortu-
nate; fortune. a fortunate man; for
tuna, a fortunate woman; fortune, a or
the fortune; fortuni, fortunate. Few
words of this language will have more
than three syllables, most will not ex-
coed two. There is no rule where to
put any component Of a sentence, but
every One who writes the universal
language" can use its words according
to the order of his own. This scheme is
the invention of j ulius BOrdOllO, of Phil.
adelphia, who, through the columns of
the Unioerse, new journal of that city,
asks cO-OperatiOn.-Erchangs.

A Snake in the Stomach.

On Wednesday of last week the wife
of a prominent citizen of Jackson dis
charged a snake, that, for some time
previous, had made its abode in her
stomach. The reptile was ten inches
long and as large around as the third
finger Of a mans hand of ordinary size.

expelled. and appeared as il decompOsi-
ton had been going on for some time.

Schliemann on the Platform

When Schliemann rose to speak be
was received with a hearty welcome
l do not 50 judge from the mere fact
that hands were clapped: I looked
around on the company while the ap.
plause was prolonged, and it was as il
all had n face. and that face flushed
with excitement and pleasure. and
beaming welcome to a hero. Schlie-
mann evidently felt this. As he had
to bow again and again he realized that
the atmosphere around him was cordial
and sympathetic. No one who has een
the man can doubt the truth that lies
in physiOgnOmy. He has q form and a
front ut for Casar-nOt big. but thor.
oughly knit, erect, full Of vitality. HIS
head is something like a full-sized can
non ball-evidently meant to 20. Time
has dellcately tOnsured him in a circle
OF two inches diameter at the back OF
his head, which for the rest is covered
with close cropped grayish hair, which.
however, extends only over the center
OF the forehead, clearing the two high
l0bes on either side. His chin is COW
cred also with . grayish cropped hair.
but his mustache is quite black. His
face is ruddy and slightly bronzed, but
decidedly German. His eyes are light
and full of amiability. but able now and
then to give a very penetrating look.
Altogether, the impression conveyed is
that OF immense force and ~vivacity.
His voice is that Of an enthusiast.
In reading his paper-and it was all
carefully read. and occupied an hour to
the very second-he began his pages
with . low voice, which. a. he warmed
with the theme, gradually rose until it |
became almost a tenor. His English
va perfectly ineligible. no word be-
Ing even lost; but his German accent
remained. and his pronunciation some
times combined the characteristics Of |
English. German, and modern Greek.
But it was delightful to hear him ; there
was no attempt at fine writing. no ges.
lures. only an artless tale simply told:
but the eloquence Of the facts was
enough to thrill the audience and hold
hem breathless.

The Gaines Gaze.

1t would be hard to invent or to inn
agine a more bitter sarcasm upon tn,
administration OF justice in this country
and upon the whole scope and methot
Of the law-than is expressed by thu
judicial decision which awards to Mrs
Gaines her property after the weary
struggle of half a century. That do
cisiOn tells her that she has been, during
a long lifetime, the true and sole owner
of a property which has always been
of immense value; that if she had de.
sired to surround her life with luxury
or to increase the wealth she had in.
herited, or to contribute from her i'm.
mense resources to the relief of human
suffering or the increase of human
knowledge, she was the real owner of
ar estate which would have made any
of these things easy to her. But during
all this time the law, to which we all
look for protection in our rights, has
kept her out Of her property, has made
her the sport and plaything of delay
and uncertainty, has thwarted her,
cheated her, worn her life out, while
generations Of lawyers have grown and
fattened and chuckled at the litigation
which brought grist to their mill, while
it ground out the substance and the
hearts blood of the litigants.
One such mockery of justice as this is
a national disgrace, and yet the Gaines
case is exceptional only because the
plaintiff who sought her rights at law
a woman of exceptional tenacity
of purpose and physical endurance.
Had her courage been less heroic, she
would long ago have succumbed to the
reverses, the hope deferred, the rebuffs
and disappointments which have in.
flicted an indelible stain upon the his
tory of legal practice in this country.
And there are to-day hundreds and
thousands of cases dragging their slow
way through the Courts, or ignomini.
ously bundled out because the costs
have eaten up the substanceof the suit

is denied and bafled. while the
low chicanery of the attorney is en-
riched. There is no other civilized
country in the world in which such a
disgrace as the Gaines case is now pos
'ible. The laws delay was once a prov
