UNusUAL RITE AT A GRAVE the
burial OF Mr.. Clement w. Pearsall, in the
Troy cemetery, near Birmingham, Mich,
few days ago, afer brief service at the
grave, the officiating minister said: Il am
requested by these sons, who have brought
their fathers body to this sacred place, to
sly Il at an unusual rite will follow. Recent
events compel us to believe that there are
human beings feudish enough to despoil the
sacred resting places OF our dead, and to de-
serve the execration of all good people.
These sons purpose now to take such meas
ures as, they hope, will secure the uudis-
turbed repose Of their fathers remains. and
as will with absolute certainty insure the
bodily humiliation of any who attemp. to
interfere. After the bepediction they will
remove the coffin lid and place packages of
nitro g'ycerue about the body. The two
persons who will do this are gen tlemen whose
business has accustomed them to the use. of
this dangerous explosive; they will there-
fore handle it with perfect safety. But
should any desire to Withdraw they can do
so without giving offouse." The entire
throng remained and witnessed the proceed
ing with many expressions of approval.

A QUEER PARTY.

There they comew cried one of a
group of young men who were amusing
themselves by watching the driving, one
blight May day, in the Champs Elysees,

'And the ogre who accompanies her

A young American-a musical student
of the conservatoire-who had been idly
humming strain from "Trovatore"-
"Non ii scordar di meP"-turned at the
words to see who was coming.
He saw handsome coupe, distin-
guished- looking gentleman, who wore
some orders on his breast, and by his
side dazzlingly beautiful woman. The
fair head rose from among the velvet
and lace wrappings like moss-rose
from the caressing moss. The delicate
tints of her complexion were not hidden
by the gauzy vail that covered her face.
The large blue eyes seemed fixed in some
strange melancholy; the red lips never
parted for word or smile. The wind
lifted curl of golden hair now and
then, but no other movement stirred it.
Such statuesque repose" said one.
"She's deafand dumb" cried another.
"No woman could be so lifeless"
"She's insane, and the mans her

"She's frozenm cried a student from

DO the Dying Suffer Pain!

People do not like to think Of death.
1T is an unpleasant subject; but it con-
stantly obtrudes itself, and there has
been much speculation as to whether
mental or physical pain attends the
final act. Observation teaches US that
there is little pain of either kind in
dying. Experience will come to us all
one { these days, but it will come too
late to benefit those who remain. 1t
seems to be kind provision of nature
that, as we approach the dread event,
our terrors diminish, and the coward
and hero die alike-fearless, Indifferent,
or resigned. AS to physical pain, DR..
Edward II. Clark says:
The rule is that unconsciousness, not
pain, attends the final act. To the sub
ject of it, death is no more painful than
birth. Painlessly we come; whence we
know not. Painlessly we go; whittier
we know not. Nature kindly provides
an anesthetic for the body when the
spirit leaves it. Previous to that mo-
ment and in preparation for it, respira-
ton becomes feeble, generally slow and
short, often accomplished by long in
spirations and Ly short, sudden eXpira-
tions. so that the blood is steadily less
and less oxygenated. At the same time
the heart acts with corresponding de-
bilitY, producing slow, feeble, and
ohen irregular pulse. AS this process
goes on, the blood is not only driven to
the head with diminished force and in
less quantity, but what flows there is
loaded more and more with carbonic
acid gas, a powerful an@sthetic, the
same as that derived from charcoal.
Subject to its influence, the nerve cen
ters lose consciousness and sensibility,
apparent sleep creeps over the sys-
tenn; then comes stupor, and then the
end.

SeIf-ReIiance,

The young man who starts in life
with determination to work his own
way to success, and to place absolute de-
pendence upon nothing but his own
energies and perseverance, is far more
likely to succeed than he who is con-
stantly locking up for help from parents
or friends. 1t is well enough to have a
fathers or friends aid, but far better
to have self-reliance, to look facts
squarely in the face and prepare either
to take honest advantages of or combat
them bravely, as occasion may demand.
Men rarely understand their own
capabilities. Many a one has learned
for the first time that he could swim
when threatened with drowning, and
few of us understand how much we can
accomplish until actually called upon to
put forth our best energies. Economic
time. Read good books while others
are wasting precious hours. Read care
fully and Understandings. BE honest,
honorable and upright in all your deal
ings. Respect every mans rights, and
compel others to respect yours, Start
ing with such resolves and pertina-
ciOusly adhering to them, the pathway
to honor and success lies straight before
| you.

The Color of the Sea.

The changes in the color of the sea
have attracted the attention of seafar-
ing men from the earliest times. They
struck with wonder the Phmnicians
when first they ventured out of the
Mediterranean into the Atlantic; they
excited the astonishment of Columbus
and terrified his companions while in
search of the far-famed Indies; and
they are no less a surprise TO the modern
navigator. to whom the march of dis
covery has left few unexplored regions
in store. One of the most remarkable
and most widely distributed contrasts
of color is that which is known to exist
between the intensely blue seas situated
between the tropics and the gleen seas
of higher latitudes. 1t appears, as
the result of recent observations, and
more especially of series of expert
ments made on board the German
frigate Gazelle, that there is an intimate
relation between the color of sea water
and the proportion of salt held in solu-
tion by the latter. On comparing the
specific gravity of green water with that
of blue water, it was found that the lat
ter is always heavier than the former,
and, therefore, at the same time more
salt, the two differently colored waters
being supposed to have the same tenn
perature. In other words, the greater
or lesser intensity of the blue color of sea
water may be taken as direct index of
its saltness and of its specific gravity,
so that when we observe the color OF
the water successfully change from a
deep blue to a blush green and dark
green, we may conclude that the water
has become ut the same time less salty
and less heavy.

A Modern CyclOps.

In the Wood mus cum, attached to
Bellevue hospital, New York, is an ana
tomical curiosity which is creating con-
siderable interest among scientific men
of that and other cities. 1t is the head
of mulatto child whose deformity is
revolving, but still calculated to create
discussion on the origin OF the ancient
Greek mythology. Several years ago a
physician in New Orleans was informed
that a mulatto woman had given birth
to child which had an eye in the mid
die of its forehead. He found the state
ment on examination to be true, but
the deformity was much greater than
had been represented. The little one
place of the nose found two perfectly
shaped ears. In the middle of its fore
head was large bright eye. In short
time the infant died and its body was
purchased by the physician, who ship
ped it to Professor James r. Chiffon, of
New York. for examination. The cap
tain of the bark on which it was sent
concealed the fact from his crew until
they were at sea, when he injudiciously
exposed it to view. The superstitious
sailors became Mortified at the presence
of what they deemed a victim of the
wrath of the Almighty, and after pray
ing q while went TO the captain in n
body and ordered him to, throw the
corpse into the sea. The captain,
through fear of the crew, consented, but
managed to deceive them. Adroitly re-
moving the head he sewed the rest of
the body in sack and gave it to his men
to throw overheard, while he concealed
the head in his cabin. On his arrival
in New York it was delivered to Profes-
sor Chiffon. The curiosity was care
fully examined, and the professor was
preparing a treatise on the subject when
he died. 1t was then transferred to Pro
lessor DoI'emus, and short time ago il
was presented to DIR. Wood, of Bellevue
hospital, for his museum.
