A HOOSIER RESURRECTION.
HOW "a HOauE Man Cam tn Life on
the Road 10 the Grave

the Road 10 the Grave
The village Of Monroeville, Ind,
is all ahame with a sensation, the
dimensions of which are in inverse
ratio to the size Of the town. On
Friday last a young man named
Charles Hueston was attacked with
a disease supposed to be congestion
of the lungs. After remaining in
an unconscious condition for about
two hours, the attending physician
examined him and pronounced him
dead. The grief Of his sister, a
beautiful young lady whose age was
near his own, was distressing to see.
She remained almost constantly by
the body, and gave vent to her
deep emotions in tears. The re-
mains were placed on board the
Friday afternoon passenger train,
on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago railway, to be taken to
Forest, o., for interment. The
grief-stricken parents and sister ac-
companied the remains. The latter
refused to go into the passenger
coach, but remained in the express
car to be close 10 the body. 1t was
an hour before the train arrived
at Forest, when a loud, unearthly
cry was heard, and in a Sec
ond the young girl was PROSTATE
upon-the floor In swoon. Several
persons hastened to her rescue,
when they, too, were nearly par
alyzed by the discovery of the cause
of her singular conduct. The sup
posed corpse Of Charles Hueston
was living, moving and breathing.
The head was thrust above the
coffin, and the face with its deathly
pallor presented a weird and ghast-
ly spectacle. The young man was
evidently amazed aC MS surround
ings, and the first returning CLEANS
OF consciousness found hun in a
position Of bewilderment. Loving
hands and kind hearts devoted
themselves to the care of the man
who had, as it were, SO suddenly
risen from the dead, and of the
young girl who SO suddenly had
been brought to the very portals OF
the grave. Huesten was taken from
his coffin, restoratiyes applied under
the direction Of physicians who
were on the train, and when he
reached Forest was removed to his
fathers residence. On yesterday
he was alive, and although very i'll
he was improving somewhat, and
the hope is entertained that he will
completely recover.

door ready for service. THE drivers
will be in uniform, and will be
trained to a prompt and courteous
performance Of their duty, and the
patrons of the company viii not be
subjected to the extortions with
which they are now annoyed. The
fare for one passenger in a coupe
for a distance within reasonable
limits, which, however, have not
been exactly defined as yet, will be
seventy-fye cents, with twenty-five
cents additional when there are two
persons. For q double carriage the
charge will probably be one dollar,
and fifty cents for each additional
passenger The drivers will not be
allowed to receive anything above
these charges and consequently a
person will enter a carriage without
any dismal forebodings Of wordy
war at the end of his journey. The
carriages will be completed and all
arrangements perfected for the
inauguration Of the enterprise in
about four months.

unfit for sale. The experience of
the best dealers has been baflled in
seeking a remedy for the difficulty.
Professor Pasteur put some of the
spoiled wine under a microscope
and soon discovered the cause of
the trouble. Minute organisms
we're found in the wine in every
instance, and the change of quality
was due TO their presence aad
growth. Of course they grew from
germs, and if the germs could be
destroyed the mischief would be
averted. Judging 'from expert
ments in other liquids hat heat
would be fatal to the germs, he sub
jected tho wines to a degree of heat
which they could bear without in
jury and found that all the germs
were destroyed. The wine makers
profit by the science Of the chemist
and save millions of dollars form
erly lost by the spelling of the
wines. Having been successful in
making wine unalterable he
turned his attention to vine
gar. This was subject to changes
which make it putrid and worth
less. He detected another kind of
organism in vinegar, and taught
the dealers how TO destroy it in
germ and keep the vinegar un-
harmed. He next attempted to
find the cause and cure Of disease
which was running the silk hus-
bandry of Frauce. Silkworms
ceased to spin; they lived and fed
as usual, but produced no silk.
Oultiyators were puzzled to under.
stand the matter, and, after vain
efforts to read the riddle, were in
clined to give up silk-raising as q
practical failure. But Pasteur with
his microscope saw what the sharp
eyes of the growers could not dis
cover. He found that the disease,
called pebree, was due to minute
parasite in the intestines of the
silkworm, which spread through
the body and filled up the sack
where the silk ought to form. The
poor insect attempted to spin, but
there was nothing to spin from,
and its usefulness was ended. Pas
teur followed up the inquiry by
watching the growth of the parasite
through all its changes till he found
the stages where it could be de
stroyed without injury to the insect.
He thus made the foundations Of
silk hurbandry secure and perma-
nent, and saved one of the most
valuable industries of France from
utter ruin.

questions or complaints, or even
with efforts to be aggressively agree
able. Then is the time above all
others when social silence should
grace the home, and make it seem
to the tired man the most delight
full and restful place on earth. Half
an hour of quiet just then is the
best possible preparation for the
social enjoyment of the coming
meal, for then the nervous tension
and mental strain of business care
and anxiety can be gradually re-
laxed, and the entire system
brought into conditions for enjoy
ing food and the amenities Of social
life. Yet how frequently does the
wife choose that particular time to
speak OF her own trials and troubles,
the misconduct of servants or chill
dren, the petty requirements of the
household, Or other things trivial
or disagreeable, and then marvel
that her husbands temperis not SO
sweet as it ought TO be. This Of
Tense is worse even than introduc-
ton of such topics at meal-time.

Bach Service 10 San Francisco,

The San Francisco Post of De-
cember oath says: The guerrilla cab
and hack system Of this city has
long been q source of great annoy
ance to people who are obliged in
the course of their business OF
pleasure, to employ that means of
conveyance. There are few re-
sponsible hack companies, but
there is no means of asc.rtaining,
when engaging a carriage, whether
the driver is II that class or what
is commonly termed a "scalpar." "
If the latter, it is more than prob
able that an exorbitant and illegal
fare will be charged, which many
will pay, either through ignorance
of the legal rates or because they
are averSe to any unpleasant con-
troversy with a rough, blackguard-
ing driver. With the object Of
doing away with this loose and ire
sponsible system, and providing a
cheap conveyance and decent ac.
cOmmodations for the public, sev-
.eral prominent citizens have long
contemplated the establishment oil
a line OF cabs to be run in connec-
ton with the district telegraph.
The articles Of incorporation of the
United Carriage company, with a
capital Of $250,000, were filed yes
terday in the county clerks office.
The trustees are George s. Ladd,
John W. Coleman, James Gamble,
G. r. Greathouse, John j. Valen-
tine, VIM. Ashburner and Stephen
D. Field. The general outline of
the business to be conducted by
the company is as follows; A large
stable will be erected in central
locality, not more than three blocks
from the corner of Montgomery
and Market streets, where all the
carriages will be stationed. Twenty
iirst-clasS couplets, Of the most ap-
proved pattern, and capable of
carrying two persons, will be used
for ordinary calls. The old close
carriage will not be used. but the
latest style, having a leather back,
which can be let down at the pleas
ure Of the passenger, will be pro.
yided. An equal number of open
carriages, landaulets and clarences
are also being constructed for the
use Of the company, These
cabs and carriages will stand in
line in the stable ready for instant
service, the driver on the seat with
the reins in his hands in order to
secure the least possible delay in
answering a call. Every station
and box Of the District Telegraph
company is provided with a dial
upon which the different calls are
lettered, such as coupe" "hack, "
" police" etc. If coupe is want
ed, the pointer is set upon the
proper word, and a turn of the
lever communicates the fact to the
central Office, from whence it is
transmitted to the stable. The
superintendent 1T the stable hands
card with the address of the
sender of the message upon it, to
the driver of the first carriage in
the line, and in as short a space Of
time as possible the vehicle is at his

A Hint to wives.
Scientific Americana


Civilization and hunger are in
compatible. All the virtues and
graces of humanity-certainly of
male humanity-Ay before an empty
stomach, 1t may be possible for a
man to be hungry and amiahle at
the same time, but it is not safe for
any wife to presume upon SO un.
likely an occurrence habitually.
Ignorance Of this physiological
truth has been the ruin of many
an otherwise happy household.
And we may set it down from both
observations and experiences-pre-
missing that our experience in this
respect has been exceptionally hap
py-that preprandial discretion is

what n ali mint Has Done for
Franco.


In modern society, industrial pro-
gress is closely connected with
scientific studies. Practical men
are dependent on students, and the
success of the latter in original re-
search insures success to The former
in increasing wealth. An humble
scientific observer in France has
made larger contributions to the
national wealth than eminent finan-
ciers like Sully and Turgot. A
competent Judge declares that Pro-
lessor Pasteur has saved enough to
France by his discoveries to pay the
entire indemnity to Germany. He
is a great chemist, and one of the
skillIul experimenters in the world.
For many years he has been subject
ing the theory Of spontaneous gem
Grafton to the most severe scientific
tests, and is positive in bis conyic-
ton that all life, so far as we know
it, springs from living seed or
germs. He confirms the maxim of
the ancients by his own experience.
Omne yiyum ex ovo-the egg must
always precede life. In the course
Of his experiments to discover by
the microscope the various kinds Of
seed invisible in the air and capable
Of growth, he has found the key to
diseases in the grapevine, in the
silkworm, and in wines and vine
gars. France has a large COM
merce in wines. But from causes
unknown to the manufacturers
these wines lose their good quail
ties, turning sour or bitter and then
