A Practical ,IOke,

Recently the effects of an insolvent
undertaker's establishment in New
Haven, were sold out under the hammer
OF sheriff's sale. The stock included
many caskets and cofins, all OF which
were bought by one party, The after.
noon of the sale the gentleman buying
the stock arranged to have the baskets
removed from the premises, and employ
ed an Irishman as an assistant. Near
the undertaker's establishment was q
Jolly German butcher. He conceived
the idea of frightening Paddy and
communicated his idea to the man in
charge of the removal. The butcher
selected good sized coffin and crawled
into it and laid himself down and allow
ed himself to be securely fastened, and
waited for events. The removal of the cof-
fins began. One after another was taken
out by the teamster and Paddy each
taking an end, Finally Paddy got hold
OF the one containing the butcher. His
companion took hold of the foot, and
Paddy the head Of the coffiu. They
lifted it, but it was unusually heavy.
Both looked at each other in frighten-
ed manner. Paddy set his end down
and said; BE gorrah, there's body in
that one they've forgot to bury A
screw-driver vas obtained and the lid
removed, and Paddy discovered the
features of the butcher who lay quiet
and composedly rs corpse, with
his eyes closed. As soon as Paddy saw
the body he jumped high into the air,
and exclaimed: Il tould you 80, and
then ran out of the building and could
not be induced to re-enter it again,
neither would he continue his labors in
that direction, but utterly refused to
touch another coffin.

Making Clay PinAs.

The Detroit Free Press has discover
ed in that city firm engaged in the
manufacture of the common clay pipes
which!sell atsuch low figure, and gives
an insight into its workings: ALI the
clay used is purchased at Baltimore, and
costs from 800 to 500 per carload. 1t
arrives at the factory in hard, dry Jumps,
and must be thoroughly soaked in big
tub or tank before it is ready for USE
The soft clay is then rolled, and knead-
ed and mixed together until it forms a
solid mass withoutany Jumps. Six men
sit around a table with lot of damp
clay within easy reach. Grasping a
lump in each hand the workman rolls it
back and forth on the table, shaping it
with his hand until it resembles a pipe,
and then laying it one side until tray
full of wet, embryo pipes has been accu-
mulated. The tray is then placed out
doors in the sun to dry, and after an
hour or two is brought inside by the
same workman, showed into an iron
mold and pressed into shape with a
quick pull at lever. The hole through
the pipe is made by hand with piece OF
wire, well creased. Two girls at an ad-
joining table receive the pipes at this
stage of their manufacture and scrape
of the ridges and other imperfections
left by the mold. The wet pipes are
then taken out of the shop and placed in
large crooks or tubs of fire clay, called
saggers. As fast as the saggers are fill
cd they are piled one above another in
side brick kiln, and two or three times
a week the kiln is fred and subjected to
intense heat for several hours until the
pipes are baked thoroughly white. The
stem of each pipe is then coated with a
yellow mixture of shellac, tumeric and
other substances to prevent it from
sticking to the lips, and the pipe is
ready for shipment in boxes partially
filed with aawduat

The Use OF Pain,

TIC power which rules the universe,
this great, tender power, Uses pain as a
signal Of danger. Just, generous, beau
tiful nature never strikes a foul blow
never attacks us behind our backs; new
er digs pitfalls or lays am6uscades; never
wears q smile upon her face when there
is vengeance in her heart. Patiently
she teaches us her laws, plainly she
writes her warning, tenderly she gradu-
ates their force. Long before the fierce,
red danger-light Of pain is flashed, she
pleads with us--as though for her own
sake, not ours-to be merciful to our
selves and 10 each other. She makes
the overworked brain to wander from
the subject OF its labors. She turns the
over-indulged body against the delights
OF yesterday. These are her caution
signals, Go slow She stands in the
filthy courts and alleys that we pass
daily, and beckons us TO enter and real
ize with our senses what we allow TO ex.
list in the midst of the culture OF which
we brag. And what do we do for our
selyesp We ply whip and spur on the
iaded brain as though it we're a iibing
horse-force it back into the road which
leads to madness, and go on full gallop.
We drug the rebellious body with stimu-
lants, we hide the original and think
we have escaped the danger, and
are very festive before night. We turn
aside, as the Pharisee did OF old, and
pass on the other side with our hand
kerchief to our nose. At last, having
broken natures laws, and disregarded
her warnings, forth she comes-drums
beating, colors hying-right in front ! to
punish us. Then we go down on our
knees and whimper about it having
pleased God Almighty to send this af-
Fiction upon us, and we pray him to
work miracle in order to reverse the
natural consequences of our disobedi-
ence, or save us from the trouble Of do
ing our duty. In other words, we put
our finger in the fire and beg that it
may not hurt. Temple Bar.

Interesting Experiments on the Brain.

Interesting Experiments on the Brain.
Professor Burt G. Wilder, displayed
to small circle OF naturalists at the
Saratoga convention OF scientists, a SO.
ries Of experiments for which an English
investigator, Prof. Ferrier, has become
famous. II had long been supposed
that the hemispheres OF the brain, at all
events on their outer surfaces, contain,
ed no special nervous connection with
tho rest of the system; that is, that they
were not the places where thought or
motion was called forth. Strong cleo.
tric stimulus had been applied to these
parts OF the brain without any result
But less than ten years ago it was found
by certain Investigators that very weak
electric currents applied to the surface
Of the hemispheres called forth specific
actions, and this clue was followed out
by Prof. Ferrier with astonishing re.
suits. Some of these experiments-not
making any pretensions to their novelty
were exhibited by Prof. Wilder upon
large white cat that had been made
utterly insensible by the administration
Of ether. He had mapped out before
him diagram of the brain, with certain
places designated by figures. Pussy's
brain was denuded, and the points spe-
cited were touched by the terminals OF
a weak electric current. A chart stated
what was to be expected, and the event
happened exactly in accordance. Thus,
when the place on the brain marked IL
was touched, the opposite hind leg Of
the animal was advanced, as the chart
said it would be. When q was touched,
the front leg moved as Il to strike, being
first drawn back. With touch to 49,
the jaws moved and the mouth opened.
In some instances the animal has been
made to scream, spit, and lash its tail
by similar means; or it's lips rise and the
nostril seems TO be irritated. The re.
markable circumstance is that precisely
the same class Of actions always follow
the application of the electricity to a
given spot. This is a scientific phrenol.
ogy; but exactly how to explain it, no.
body yet knows. Prof. Wilder has a
large number Of cats brains there, in
alcohol. They serve every purpose of
the human brain for a student, and are
more accessible, as well as in better pre-
servation.

The American Method,

We hear from Amsterdam that Mr..
Jay Gould has been rather astonishing
Dutch financiers. 1t appears that he
has been negotiating with bankers there
about Kansas railroad whose affairs
have been in litigation for several years.
He fiually offered 81, 800, 900 for the first
mortgage bonds held by the syndicate,
which they accepted, with the proviso
that interest should be added to the
date Of payment. Gould agreed; but
created a sensation by Immediately wri-
ting check on Messrs. J. s. Morgan &
Co., Of London, for the full amount.
