THE subject of cremation has been
quite prominently discussed at Munich,
Bavaria, where the authorities con-
suited the opinions of the various re-
ligious denominations, but with rather
conflicting results. The Catholics will
have nothing to do with cremation, the
Israelites refused to express an opinion,
and the Protestants considered il would
necessitate change in the liturgy, so
the Board of Health could only recon-
mend it as appropriate under the follow
lowing contingencies: After battles,
during epidemics, for the conveyance of
remains to distant locality, and when
the soil is unsuitable for burial pur-
poses, While the burning of one body
in epidemics might purify the atmos-
phere, the cremation of a number would
probably tend to increase the infection
but there are so many localities where
the soil is untitled for burial purposes,
the practice of cremation may in this
case, as well as that of transportation,
recommend itself as necessity and be-
come practice. ~ a ~, %

. Boys Windpipe Cut to Save
His Life.
tCincinnati Enquirer


On Christman night young lad
named Henry Brinker, who resides at
the corner of Central Avenue and Water
street, while eating hickory nuts, swal-
lowed piece of the shell of one about
the size of dime, which lodged in his
throat, and resisted all attempts to re-
move it by coughing or otherwise. He
did not experience much inconvenience
from it, however, and went to bed.
About three o'clock in the morning he
woke up choking and deathly sick, and
rapidly became worse, finally becoming
almost incapable of breathing. His
step father Mr.. John Schwartz, accom-
panied by his brother, started out in
search of doctor, but though at that
time it was but half-past three o'clock it
was nine o'clock before they could get
one to come to the house. They called
on at least dozen physicians, all of
whom, on some pretense or another, re-
fused to come to see the boy, though
they told them he was dying.
Finally DIR. Davis came, but on seeing
the lad, the parents say, told them he
was too far gone to do him any good.
He gave them a prescription, however,
for an emetic, which he told them to
administer and left, promising to return
at noon. In the mean time another
messenger who had been dispatched for
a physician, returned with Drs. Dawson
and McMechan, and the latter, on seeing
the boys condition, determined to re-
sort to surgical operation to save his
life. With DIR. McMechan's assistance
DIR. Dawson made an incision across the
throat, and inserting a dull probe.
scraped away the tissues until he reached
that portion of the windpipe called the
trachea, which he cut open. He then
inserted a wire with which he felt
around for the obstruction. 1t was
found in the larynx, where it had
lodged; and, being sharp-edged, had cut
the flesh, and the blood had got into the
bronchial tubes, filling them, and rem
dering breathing almost impossible.
After the nutshell had been removed,
the patient coughed up large quantity
of this blood. The wound having been
sewn up he breathed quite freely, and
last night was resting easily after the
operation.

Miss CALLAHAN, who was a prosper
Gus milliner in Boston, married Patrick
Gain, who was a lazy loafer. The match
was not liked by the young woman's
family, and her brother John, who was
passionately fond of her, brooded over
the matter until his hatred of Cain be-
came mania At last he went into the
couples bedroom at night, shot Cain
four times as he lay asleep, and then
killed himself. Cain is recovering. Miss
Meadows's marriage to Elijah Lane, in
Waco, Texas, was displeasing to her
family. Her two brothers induced her
to return home, and when Lane went
there to get his wife, she shot him dead
on the doorstep. A less summary, but
equally murderous, course was taken by
Henry Williams, in Walla, Miss, who
poisoned his son-in-law in order to rid
his daughter of drunken husband

The Boy with the Bandbox.

lDetrolt = rec Iress
Yesterday forenoon as the country
people who had brought in produce to
sell on the market were about ready to
start for home q boy appeared at the
| lower end of the &c. trail Market with
blue nandbox under his arm. Among
the vehicles was a one-horse wagon be-
longing to an old woman who had just
sold four bags of onions, and was ready
to drive home. The boy approached
her in an honest, straightforward man
ner and remarked;
Well, auntie, here is that bonnet at
last"
GA bonnet2N she inquired.
9 Why yes, the one you ordered at
the store week ago. You'll look SO
purity in it that the old man won't know
you. It's all paid for all right, and now
I'll set it down right here by your feet.
! Tra.la, auntie."
That old woman knew the boy was
making mistake in leaving b 1nnet
with her, but after the first words of
surprise she made no sign. She rea-
soned that it wasn't her business TO
correct mistakes, and as soon as the
boy had retired, she picked up the
lines and drove up Randolph-street,
every moment expecting to hear the
mistaken boy calling after her, and
every moment hurrying the old nag as
! fast as he could go. After reaching the
corner of Gratiot-avenue and Brush
street, she felt that the boy could not
overtake her, and it was only natural
that she should have a lively curiosity
to see what sort of bonnet it was. If
plain black, it would suit her to dot
If gorgeous, it would do for her daugh-
ter. The horse was refined up to the
curb and the driver carefully united the
string fastening the box and lifted The
cover. A "yaller" cat of monstrous
size, feeling that he had been abused
and insulted, and his eyes glaring with
hate and contempt, came out of the box
like bullet. +A
People who happened to be in that
neighborhood were treated to curious
spectacle. With one wild, unearthly
yell an old woman was seen to pitch
backwards over the seat and then sail
for the ground by the shortest route.
While she was clawing around with her
head in a snow-bank, the cat, seeing her
cut of the way, made spring from the
seat TO the horses back, and began a
series of performances never known or
dreamed of by that old equine, and the
way that horse gathered his legs under
him aud scattered the old wagon for
half block was wicked to see. The
woman, dug out of the snow by con-
sderate bystander, stood on the walk
and endeavored to explain. A man in
the crowd picked up wagon-wheel and
endeavored TO remark that the whole
outfit wasn't worth scraping together,
and some one in the crowd solemnly
observed:
If honesty amt the best policy, then
| | don't want a cent?

1,019 dead victims of brutal murder

really accurate summary can be made
of tfe motives or the causes of the kill

The Tyrolese observe singular Gus
tom in making proposals of marriage.
The first time a young man pays visit
as an avowed lover, he brings with him
a bottle of wine, of which he pours out
a glass and presents it to the object of
his desires. If she acceptsit, the whole
affair is settled. Very often the girl
has not yet made up her mind, and then
she will take refuge in excuses, SO as to
drink the wine, and yet not refuse
it point blank, for that is considered a
gross insult, proving that she has been
merely trihing with the affections of
her lover. She will, for instance, main
tain that the wine looks sour" or that
wine disagrees with her, or that she is
afraid of getting tipsy, or that the
priest has forbidden her to take any
In fact, she makes use of any subter-
fuge that presents itself at that mo-
ment. The purport of these excuses is
that she has not yet come to decision,
and that the wine offering is premature.
Shy lovers find this custom a singularly
happy institution.

LORD BEAcoNsFIELDs appearance. in
Parliament, after the reception of the
news of Princess Alice's death, is some
what sarcastically described by Man
chester correspondent. He was per-
fectly made up in the deepest mourn
ing, which could not well have been
deeper had Princess Alice been his own
daughter instead of the Queens. He
had on, as far as one could Judge, new
black hat, with the deepest of cloth.
His scarf was black; his coat, vest and
trowsers were of the sablest hue and al
together a more funeral figure could
hardly be imagined than he presented
as he walked to his seat, with bowed
head and soft tread, as if he were in the
chamber of death itself. This was very
much overacted, and so, for that matter,
was the speech in which he moved the
address. He overdid the emotion. He
presented, in voice and manner, the
picture of grief which, in the nature
of things, it was impossible to feel.

ing, the paper being printed in patterns
to represent different woods from pho
tographs. so that the resemblance is
quite perfect. The floor is first pre-
pared by being made perfectly level,
and the crevices filled up with plaster of
Paris; over the surface, as thus pre-
pared, hessian is stretched, and on this
first lining paper and then patterned
paper is pasted, the whole being finished
with a coating of peculiar kind of
varnish, described as wonderfully hard,

greatest ease, and though the wear of
paper carpeting may be thought prob
lematical, the inventor states that he

sixteen months, without showing any

Nor long ago writer in the Garden
er's Chronicle, an English periodical,
laid it down as rule that {" any very
hard winter is likely to recur either
forty-one years or eighty years Later"
Thus the hard winter of 1853 was fol-
lowed eighty years later by the hard
winter of 1868. At the same interval
from the hard winters of 1908, 1716
and 1889 come those of 1888, 1896 and
1919. The three successive winters of
1888, 1884 and 1856 fall under the forty
one years rule. The winter of 1854 was
very severe, so was that of 1896, while
that of 1886 was unusually mild. The
hard winters of 1S4S, 1866, 1859, 1860,

o'clock p. M, civil time, he saw vol
canic eruption on the moon in the

while looking through six and one

tinued for half an hour, and was seen by
him as plainly as "any ether mountain
scenery in the moon is seen, and OF the
same color" Rear Admiral Rogers has
intimated to his correspondent that his
observation will be attributed to some

error of adjustment, or 20 an accidental
light reflected from some neighbor's
window, or to some other source OF

" Sich is Life"
INewark Sunday Can.l

A few years ago there existed in New
ark a club of respectable young men of
good promise in life, who were happy in
their youth, their freedom from care
and their social enjoyments. Where are
those young men now? There were
twelve in all Four of the number
died drunkards. That was sad. Two
became politicians and devoted their
lives to cultivating low acquaintance
That was sad, too. Four got married,
and were speedily snubbed to degree
of humbleness that took all the spirits
of their earlier days out of them and
brought on sparse growth OF hair.
That was exceedingly sad. One got
Tilted in love, then got reckless, then
committed a crime and went to State
Prison to die. That might seem to be
the saddest of all, but it wasn't as sad
as the fate of the twelfth young man.
He was a fastidious young man, and
could never make up his mind to get
married. 80 he remained bachelor.
Now, ostracised from female society,
and compelled to find his associations
among saloon habitues, he migrates
from one boarding house to another,
Just as it may happen he finds hair in
the hash; half Of his shirts are without
buttons, and his stock of unmended
stockings is frightfnl to contemplate
never does he press his lonely pillow
that the ghost of what might have been
does not come and squat on his con-
science, and he is continually haunted
by the pensive figure of the woman
w hon, hia hachalcrhood and deafipy h al
condemned to celibacy and scragginess
There is moral in this for young men
who ado not intend to marry"

NJ. DE LEssEPs has just returned from
trip to Tunis, whittier he went to in
yestigate the possibility and the advisa-
bility of letting the waters of the Med
iterranean into the Desert of Sahara,
so as to convert portion of that DESC
late expanse into an inland sea. M. de
Lesseps says that the Arab chieftains of
the south of Aures, keep up the tradi-
ton of there having existed, in former
times, sea in that neighborhuod, from
five to six hundred leagues in circum-
ference. He also has been enabled to
disprove the idea that the formation of
a new lake would do away with the
GASES, for he HIS discovered that these
are all from fifteen to forty metre 5
above the level of the sea, whereas the
desert itself is below that level Traces
of Roman civilization have been found
in the desert, and among them the re-
mains of an amphitheater like that in

AN interesting paper on the effect OF
the motion of the air within an audi
torium upon its acoustic properties, is
contributed by w. w. Jacques, Fellow
in Physics of the John Hopkins Uni
versity, to the Journal of the Franklin
Institute. Preachers, singers. actors and
public speakers generally will find valu-
able suggestions indicated by it. Mr..
Jacques has repeated Tyndalrs expert
ments with some notifications, and ar
rived not only at the conclusion that
currents of air of varying density form
one of the chief obstacles to the propa-
cation of sound, but that they actually
modify the sound wave, and so give rise
to great indistinctness.

LEGACY MINED.

The city of Geneva has only just
missed having left to it legacy con-
sderably richer than the heritage be-
queathed to it by the late Duke of
Brunswick. Count Potocki, who died a
few days ago at his house in the Avenue
Friedland, Paris, had an income of four
hundred thousand dollars a year from
real estate alone, and eight hundred
thousand dollars from life annuities
which he had purchased from various
life insurance companies. As the Count
lived to be eighty-four years old this
speculation proved very successful, SO
far as he was concerned. Though he
was on good terms with his only son,
Nicholas, he could not bear the idea of
having an heir, and desired much to
leave all his vast property in trust for
charitable purposes; but as the French
law would not allow him to do this, he
came a short time ago to Geneva, with
the intention of bequeathing his fortune
to the city, as the Duke of Brunswick
had done. He found, however, that the
Code Napoleon rules also in Geneva, and
there no more than in France can man
make his own will. Then he went to
England, got himself naturalized, and
made will, in which he cut off his son
with shilling, and left all else that he
had to be divided among number of
philanthropic institutions, But, as it
was evident that his end was approach
ing, his friends prevailed upon him to
alter his testamentary dispositions in
favor of his son, who had never given
him cause of offense. Count Nicholas,
therefore, inherits all his fathers
wealth-four hundred thousand dollars
year, besides personal property of al
most untold value. The late Count
Potocki was the husband of the beauti-
full countess of that name, once a
celebrity in the musical world, and
known as the friend and benefactor OF
ChOpin.
