They visited the Jail and report
it well managed.

1t has ever been predicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts of each sunbeam and

A Strange Cure.

"Can you cure my eyes ?n said a
man to DIR. Brown.
Eyes" said the doctor, "if you
will follow my prescription"
"Oh, certainly, DOCTOR" said the
patient; 81 will do anything to
have my eyes cured. What is your
remedy, doctor ~
"You must steal horse!' said
the doctor, very soberly.
"Steal q horse, doctorW said the
patient in amazement. GLOW will
that cure my eyes ?n
"You will be sent to the State
prison for five years, where you
could not get whisky, and during
your incarceration your eyes would
get WE'LL" said the doctor.
The patient looked somewhat in
credulous, but he did not adopt the
DOCTORS remedy.

A Mad Elephant.
Lancaster IN. H. Gazette. |

l'<NhNtseSi NAs' iisJ NioACbtcsi
Among the elephants that swing
round the circle with Forepaugh is
one known as Dick. This young
monster got TO sulking at Lancas-
ter, N. H., the other night, and re-
fused to trot along with the others.
Young Adam Forepsugh, the old
man Adams son, rode up to Dick
and gently tapped him with bis
riding whip. Dick lunged for the
lad and unhorsed him. Adam was
stunned by the fall and lay but o
few feet from the enraged beast,
whose terrible bellowings indicated
that he was thoroughly aroused.
1t seemed impossible for any one
to rescue young Forepaugh. The
keepers and trainers knew that the
least motion would hasten the
boys death, and so stood speech
less add aghast. But old Belts, the
monster elephant of the herd, act
ing with wonderful human i'm.
pulse, ran with speed that seemed
Incredible, considering her enor-
nous bulk, and threw the force of
her fourteen tons weight against
the side of the advancing and MUIR
derous Dick. The shock of the col
liding elephants was fearful, up
setting bad Dick and throwing him
on his side. Quick as flash
Forepaugh's son was upon his feet.
Old Belts threw down her trunk at
the signal, just as she does in the
performance, and lifted her master
upon her head. Every time the
recreant Dick arose he was met by
5000 pounds of elephant flesh
against his ribs, until he lay down
and trumpeted signals of distress in
acknowledgement of defeat.

Juries sometimes give very
curious verdicts. One of the most
remarkable, says the Reno Gazette,
was found by a Washoe jury, In
1877, In a case of milk stealing. The
prisoner was tried on charge of
stealing milk from another mans
COW. 1t was proved that he had
frequently milked the animal at
night, thereby causing his neigh
Dor great vexation and annoyance.
The Jury, of whom Tule Frank was
foreman, desired to express in their
verdict their sense of the aggravat-
ed nature of the offense. They
therefore found the prisoner
"Guilty Of milking the COW in the
first degree.u

A Mountain Sleeps Head Embedded in
Pine Tree.

QUITE a curiosity was found a few
days ago near the camp Of the wOrkmen
on the new toll-road, near Yankee Fork.
1t is a mountain rams head, deeply inn
bedded in pine tree, and about six
feet from the ground. The right horn
is outside and curls partly around the
tree, while the front of the skull and
most of the left horn is covered with a
growth of wood. The tree is thrifty
pine, fifteen inches through. How that
rams head came there will always re-
main mystery to scientists, but men of
the mountains, who are familiar with
the fighting propensities of the wild
buck, can easily explain it. The ram,
whose head is now part of the tree,
stood on the upper side of the hill,
while his enemy stood near what was
then pine sapling. When the present
relic made rush at ram No. 2, the
latter stepped to one side, and the
old warriors head, coming in contact
with the young tree, split it wide enough
for one horn to enter, and he was left
dangling at the mercy of his foe. The
rest is easily guessed. The survivor of
the fight deliberately butted his unfOr
tunate adversary until there was moth
ing left of him but the skull and horns
fast in the wood. Fred. Myers, one of
the proprietors of the toll-road, will
have the part of the tree containing the
rams head sent to the Smithsonian In
stitute. Yankee Fork (Ner.) Herald.

FOretelling Weather.

WEATHER predictions will rank in flu
ture history as one of the great achiev-
ments of the nineteenth century. Seven
or eight years ago Bureau of the War
Department was organized to observe
atmospheric changes. BY the applica-
ton Of established scientific principles,
"Old Probs" has been enabled, four
times out of five, to warn us of disturb
ances about to occur, thus protecting
the commercial marine and aiding agri-
cultural interests. With the additions
to the store of knowledge gained by the
Signal Service observations, new ideas
were suggested and the simultaneous
taking of observations in all parts OF
the world rose as possibility. A Con
gress of all charged with rhetorical dll-
ties was held in Vienna in 1873, and it
was then and there agreed that the OBJ
servers exchange their records. 10 the
United States this was valuable gain.
We have one hundred and sixty-four
stations, covering every section OF the
country. This exchange brought us
two hundred and ninety-three Observa-
tions in foreign countries, taken at pre-
cisely the same second of physical time.
They came from Algeria, Austria, Bel
gium, Great Britain, Costa Rica, Dem
mark, France, Germany, Greece, India,

The New York Central Park q Favor.
lite Place for Suicides.

WHEN Central Park was laid out and
opened to the public, which took, and
has taken ever since, so much pride and
pleasure in it, it was hardly thought
that it would be the field for suicides
that it has become. 1t is remarkable
how many persons 60 there to end their
unhappy lives. Scarcely week passes
that the body of some unfortunate is
not found there with sufficient accom-
panying evidence to show that death
has been sef-intlicted. So common has
this grown to be that the park patrol
men have received orders, when going
on duty in the morning, to search the
shrubbery and secluded places for sui
cides. In case of attempted suicide,
relief might come in time to do good,
because many persons bent on self
destruction are naturally so nervous that
they handle their weapons clumsily,
often making wounds that may be
healed. Usually, however, the suicides
perform their CHASTITY work effectually.
Suicide is not pleasant association
with the city's favorite promenade and
pleasure ground, but it is hard to see
how it can be prevented. Certainly,
no legal enactments will be apt to re-
strain a man who has decided to de-
stroy himself. 1t is said that an order
was once conspicuously posted in
Phoenix Park, Dublin, to the effect that
anybody who should be detected in
committing suicide there should be
compelled to pay fine of twenty-five
shillings. The difference between
Frenchmen and Americans is exhibited
in the choice of places for committing
suicide. The former very rarely choose
any retired spotin the Bots de Boulogne.
They usually prefer to make away with
themselves in the most public and mel
odramatic manner, leaping from the
Arc de Triomphe, the Column of the
Place Tendome, or the Tower de Saint
Jacques. Americans and Anglo Saxons
generally seek some out-of-the-way spot
to end themselves, where they know
that there will be little danger of inter-
ruption, where they can feel sure of ex-
ecuting their fatal intent.-N. y

German Women as Farm LabOrers.

layers working on the upper stories Of
the highest buildings, will not seem to
the average American woman strictly
feminine occupations. Yet, SO long as
the flower of masculine youth and the
vigor of European manhood are to be
dedicated, as they now are, to barracks
and camps, such must continue to be
the occupations of the mothers of many
future American citizens. In Germany
the pillow has generally supplemented
the spade and the scythe the sickle,

use appeared exceptional.-Cor. Pila-
