A horrible death recently occurred It
. blast furnace in South Stockton, Eng
land. The hopper Of furnace was
charged by = man named James Hig-
gins and other workmen with ironstone,
etc., and in order to allow the material
to fall into the furnace an attempt was
made to lower the bell-a large conical-
shaped apparatus fitting into the bottom
of the hopper-about two fest into .
broader space. The bell had become
jammed into the upper part Of the ring
and could not be stirred. After several
Intellectual attempts to free it, Higgins
procured . large hammer, leaped on to
the bell and struck it q blow. The ap.
paratus Immediately sank into the
broader space, and Higgins went with
it. A groan was heard, but nothing
could be seen of the poor fellow g be
passed swiftly with the material into the
furnace. The blast was at once thrown
off and q powerful current of air forced
in, but the horrible smell which arose
proved that the poor mans body was
being rapidly consumed, and not the
slightest portion of it was recovered.
A coroner was summoned, but could
hold no inquest, as there were no re-
mains to view. A Roman Catholic
priest read the burial service of the
church, on top Of the furnace, shortly
after the accident.

Popularity Of Shop Lifting.

The crime of theft among respectable
ladies, says the Cincinnati Commercial,
is becoming little bit to common.
The pOlice-court records of the leading
cities in the United States show that
this winter an uncomfortably large pro-
portion of petty thieves and shop-lifters
are ''respectable-appearing ladies'" 1t
is always something to wear that they
steal-jewelry, handkerchiefs, lace, and
bits of finery beyond their reach through
honest means. In various large cities
women whom nobody ever dreamed
would do such thing have been caught
in the act of secreting the laces and ex-
pensive small articles. WOmen's pas
sion for fine clothes is so powerful that
she is driven by it to obtain dishonesty
what the hard times of this winter pre-
vent her getting honestly. The finery
startling grimness the fact whichis even
yet not recognized generally, that hu-'
man nature Is governed by certain fate
full laws which can not be altered in q
year, or century. Unpopular passion
is suddenly checked in one direction, It
bursts out vehemently in another, and
it takes @ons Of patient moral teaching
to eradicate an evil from the race. 1t is
a good time now for ministers to COM
mend the study of philosophy to the
fair portion Of their focks, particularly
that maxim which has been the favorite
one of the wisest men of all ages and
races, and whichis thus put BY Herbert
Spencer: "Self control is the faculty
above all others which we should cult
vate." Cicero, Socrates, ,Confucius,
and George Washington counseied it,
and the ancient Druids enjoined ION all
their disciples in those two words

Associates Of Gen. Spinner.

Many curious things happened to
Gen. Spinner, late United States Treas
urer. during the many years he held that
responsible position, but the bluff old
Watchdog Of the Treasury had q prac-

failed to win against all odds. He got
caught one dsy, however, in the most
unexpected manner. His signature, SO
well known wherever greenbacks have
ramified, got in time to be in such de-
mand that people all over the country
used to write, asking him for his auto
graph. He fell into ahabit of comply
ing by returninga brief response, In
which, after the formal beginning, he
would say: "The request made in your
note of = date is herewith complied
WITH" to which he would affix his
grotesque signature. ~ -

The Hebrews Is Meat.Eaters.

The Hebrew inhabitants of Boston
consume good deal of meat, and as
they only eat the forequarters of an ami
NAL, rejecting the hindquarters entirely,
the number of cattle killed for them is
larger than it otherwise would be. 1t
probably amounts to about so oxen, 60
or IS calves, and about rs sheep per
week. All these animals have to be
killed by q rabbi, and the meat, having
been properly handled according to jew
ish rules, is retailed by Hebrew pro-
vision dealers, of whom there are nine
in different quarters of the city.-Boston

A WASHINGTON landlady, whose gas
bills have increased at . ruinous rate
owing to the recklessness with which
her guests play cards and read novels at
night, resolved last week to give every
member of the household q practical
lesson in economy. At an early hour in
the evening the gas was turned off at
the meter, and the dodgers were forced
to 60 to bed in the dark. When the old
lady was ready to 20 to her room, she
had the gas turned on again. Several
boarders had left the pipes open, and as
the gas streamed into the room while
they were sound asleep, they narrowly
escaped death. As the old lady had to
pay the Doctors bill, and subsequently
called in plumbers and gas-fitters, the
results of domestic retrenchment have
not been satisfactory.

NoreI Uses Of the TeIsphons.

Various are the surprises which blos~
som out of that novel instrument, the
telephone. In France they have applied
it for marine purposes. The French war
steamer Desaix had to tow out from
TOulOn the old ship Argonaute. A con-
ducting wire was rolled round one of the
towing cables, with an end on board each
vessel. The electric current was formed
by the action of the sea on the copper
sheathings of the ships. A telephone
was introduced in the circuit on each,
and communication established between
them. During the whole time of the
navigation CONVEX saticn cnuld be carried
on easily between the two officers of the
two vessels AS if they had Isen seated in
the same cabin. The next step was to
apply the telephone to the work of the
diver. One of the glasses of the helmet
is replaced by q copper plate, in
which is inserted a telephone, so that
the man has only a slight movement of
the head to make in order to receive
tions. The advantages of snch an ar
rangement are obvious. Frequently
at sea the necessity arises of examin-
ing the keel or bottom of ship. The
diver descends, and is able to give an
account of all he sees and does and
receive instructions without having to be
brought to the surface to give explana-
tions, as has hitherto been the case. BY
the use of the telephone q man at the
bottom of the sea can remain in constant
verbal communication with those at the
surface. But the most singular applica-
ton of the telephone comes from New
South Wales, where Mr.. Severn, an en-
thusiastic experimenter, claims that he
has made the deaf to hear with it. After
describing q very simple telephone which
he constructed out of a tin pot, the
closed end of which he opened and tied
over it piece of parchment, passing a
fine string through the center and max
ing a knot inside. Mr.. Severn says:
4" Make loop in the string some four feet
long, put this loop over the forehead of
the listener (the deaf MANI, cause him to
place the pslms of his hands fiat and
hard against the ears, let the loop pass
over the hands, and now this listener
will hear the smallest whisper, let him
be deaf or not This fact may appear
extraordinary it is. nevertheless, true
that deaf man may be thusmade to hear
the voice, music, etc. n. 7. Tribune.
