The Dead Alive.

The following extraordinary story
comes from Franklintown, N. G. over the
signature of Mr.. j. w. Weaver, of that
town. He says that Mrs. Martha Smith,
of Chatham, reports remarkable case
of suspended animation, burial and res
direction, in the person of a married
lady in that county, who possessed q
gold watch and finger rings which she
often expressed desire to have buried
with her whenever she should die.
Finally she was taken ill, and life
seemed gradually to ebb away, until her
attending physician pronounced it ex-
tinct. At her burial her previously ex-
pressed desires was complied with, and
the second night after the interment a
white man and negro went to the
grave and exhumed her for the purpose
OF obtaining the buried jewelry. As
they took the lid off the coffin, and the
negro began pulling off a ring from her
finger, she raised up. At this both men
took fright and ran away. Finally, the
negro went back, and she asked him
what he wanted. He told her he wanted
her rings and the white man her watch.
She requested to see the white man,
whom the other soon found and brought
to her. She requested him to go home
with her. He did so, and when she
reached the door she knocked. Her
husband opened the door, but tainted
when he saw her, thinking it was his
dead wife's ghost. Mrs. Smith says the
lady is now living and bids fair to attain
a good old age, and that she visits and
is visited by her frequently.

Devices Of Paris Smugglers.

A JERSEY wagon continually entered
and left Paris. 1t was empty The To-
cal customs officers were always told
that no dutiable article was in it. A
rapid inspection was made; nothing
could be seen; it was allowed to enter.
But the other day an inspector thought
that he "smelt rat" so he looked
and he smelt, and at last he found that
the roof of the Jersey wagon was
double, was lined with zinc and filled
with brandy, held in tank six feet
long, three feet wide, three inches
thick. A few days before another
stratagem was detected: A toy maker,
domiciled in Paris but with his manu-
factory outside, continually sent Jersey
wagons, filled with toys, from manufac-
tory to shop. The first Jersey was
carefully examined. The second was
specifically examined. The third was
suspiciously examined. This was just
what the toy maker expected, and
nothing was discovered; but the day
the inspectors took it into their heads to
dismiss the first Jersey wagon summari-
ly they could have found hobby-horses,
dolls, Punch's hunchback and drums
filed with alcohol.

The Nature OF Light and Its Action Up
on the Eye.

AT recent meeting of the Buffalo
On. " Microscopical Club, DR.. Lucien
Howe presented the subject of the un-
dulations of light and their perceptions
by the eye. Brief mention was made
of the different theories, accounting for
the phenomena of optics previous to the
present century. The difficulties of this
subject were first solved by Thomas
Young, who satisfactorily explained the
undulatory theory of light. He showed
that what we call light is an impression
produced upon the retina by the wave
like motion of the particles of matter.
Subsequently the lengths of these waves
were measured. 1t would take S.
waves of red light, or 64,631 waves of
violet light, placed end to end, to make
an inch. From the speed of light, which
has been measured, it is proved that at
least four hundred and fifty one millions
of millions of these minute waves flow
into the eye and dash against the retina
in each second. DIR. Howe proceeded
with minute description of the micro
scopical anatomy of the eye, more par
icularly relating to the slayer of rods
and cones.'' These were stated as be-
ing in reality the terminal filaments OF
the optic nerve. These are shaken or
acted on by the waves of light, and it is
especially these with which we see.

A Phenomenal Memory.

THE story is told of an American
waiter at the New York Fifth Avenue
Hotel who can take charge of five hum
dred hats at once and always return tho
right hat to the owner, though most of
the five hundred owners, and of course
most of their hats, are completely
strange to him. This waiter says that
he &C forms mental picture of the own
er's face inside the hat, and that on look
ing at any hat the wearer's face is in
stantly brought before his minds eye."
Here, then-if the account be accurate
lis another case of a memory indef-
nitely strengthened by power of WIS.,
ualsing impressions which most men
never visualise at all. This man visua-
Uses hats with faces under them as great
chess.players who play without the
board visualise the pieces set in particu-
lar squares; only this is more remark
able exercise of the same power, since
five hundred hats must contain as many
nearly exact copies of each other, while
none of the sixty-four squares on y chess
board can be confused together at all,
by any one who can make himself any
accurate picture of them.-LondoSa Ma

How to See A Seed Grow.

MANY little folks wonder how seed
grows. Some boys and girls have taken
up the seed after planting it in the
ground, and thereby prevented it from
taking root.
We may, however, see the roots
shooting out from the hyacinths and
other bulbs that we grow in glasses in
our windows; and in this way we may
see other seeds sprout and shoot.
A gentleman, to crafty his little sons,
took glass tumbler, around which he
tied bit of common lace, allowing the
lace to hang or drop down in the center
of the glass. He then put enough wa
ter in the glass to cover the lower part
of the lace, and in this hollow he
dropped two sweet-peas. The little boys
were told to look at them ever day,
and they would learn what was going
ON under ground with similar seeds.
Next morning the boys hurried from
the breakfast-room to look at the glass
with the peas, in the south window.
They found that, while they were fast
asleep, the little brown skins had burst;
and tiny white sprout was seen on the
side of the pea. The little sprouts soon
grew long enough to reach through the
holes in the lace, and on the top of the
peas two little green leaves were seen.
In time the boys saw the white,
thread-like roots reach almost to the
bottom of the glass, while the green
leaves grew large, and gave way to a
stalk or stem. In this way most seeds
may be seen to grown Y. Observer.

An Incident at Castle Garden.

A STEAMSHIP, arriving on Saturday,
had brought in great number of young
Irish girls, who came, as is their Gus
tom, bareheaded or with shawls thrown
over their heads. Many of them in
tended remaining here, but could not
be disposed of before Monday, and those
who purposed going West were also de-
tanned until the same time. On Sunday
forenoon, at an early hour, several OF
them beset the baggagemaster for per-
mission to get at their trunks in the lug
gage-rooms, and he allowed them to do
so, at no small inconvenience to himself
and his assistants, when it transpired
that their common object was simply to
get out their snowy hats, profusely
trimmed with bright colored ribbons.
No sooner did they appear in the ro-
tunda, adorned with their hats, than
each girl in the place rushed for the
luggage-room and demanded to be al
lowed to get her hat also. The bag
gagemaster endeavored to protest, but
was literally overwhelmed and swept
away by the vigorous body of girls, VINO
took possession of their trunks. tore
them open, and mounted their gorgeous
hats as if life itself depended upon their
haste. They then sailed out for a
promenade up town, each seemingly
confident that her hat constituted her q
belle in "Ameriky. IN. Y. Sun.

The MarshmallOW.

PROF. WATERHoUsE, of Washington
University, st. Louis, gives notice that
he has received from the Agricultural
Department supply of seeds of the
marshmallow, a valuable fibrous plant
which it is believed will large
ly repay cultivation. 1t is
native plant and grows wild in New
Jersey. 1t prefers a moist, loamy soil.
Only two or three seeds should be plant
ed in a Hill, and the hills should be three
feet apart. The soil should be kept
loose and free from weeds. 1t is de-
sirable that an exact record be
kept of the temperature, humidity,
kind of soil, time of planting, ripening
and cutting, and the hight and quality
of the product; and all the seed should
be carefully preserved for future expert
ments. Applications for seed should be
addressed to DR.. G.. Hanback,, Wash.
