SUICIDE OF PROF. EVEREST.

Our citizens were shocked Wednesday
morning by the report that John Everest, a
we'll known musician, had committed sui
eide in the city jail. Upon repairing to the
scene we found the report too true, as all
that was mortal of the man lay cold upon
the humble cot of his cell, while the bed
clothing and floor were crimson-dyed with
his life-blood. The circumstances are as
follows: Deceased was imprisoned Monday
night, for being intoxicated, and was re-
tanned in prison by the Marshal Tuesday and
Tuesday night for the purpose of getting
sober. Tuesday night, at about IL o'clock,
Marshal Miller went to the prison, as is his
custom, and seeing blood on the floor, asked
deceased what was the matter, and received
the answer, I" I want to die" The Marshal,
in all haste, summoned DIR. Lee, who shortly
arrived and found that deceased had sever
ed the main artery of his left arm, just be-
low the elbow, the weapon used being a
small pocket knife The doctor carefully
bound up the wound and stopped the flow
of blood, after which he returned home
Marshal Miller had occasion to be absent a
few minutes, and upon his return found that
deceased had removed the bandage and the
wound was again bleeding profusely. Dr.
Lee was again called to dress the wound,
and watch was placed over the man to
prevent his removing the bandage. But it
was too late to save him. Deceased was
native of Kent county, England, and was
about As years of age, and has numerous
relatives in Oregon. He leaves wife and
one child, who were at The Dalles at the
time of his death He was member of
Multnomah Tribe No 3, I. O. R. M. From
about the first of December to Feb. l4th, he
was at Philomath giving instruction to the
brass band at that place, his contract hav-
ing expired on the latter date, as shown by
his diary Deceased was skillful in his pro-
fesson, was kind and generous, and well re-
spected by all who knew him. He occasi-
onally drank to excess, and it was in a fit of
dependency caused by drink that he infict-
ed the fatal wound upon his arm. WIN.
Everest, brother of deceased, came up from
Portland yesterday morning and took charge
of the remains.

Sending Patients AWAY.

Apropos of the journey from Cannes
TO st. Petersburg of the invalid Empress
of Russia, who has gone home in mid
winter for fear of dying away from her
family, a distinguished Vienna plysi-
clan publishes n vigorous protest against
the practice of sending consumptive pa.
tients 10 warm climates without regard
TO the stage OF their disease or their cir
cumstances. He has taken note of fifty
cases of such patients who have been
sent by their physicians TO spend a win
ter in Italy or Egypt, and among them
all he found only three who received
any benefit from the change. while many
were positively injured. Much that he
says is as applicable to this country as
to Europe. No doubt many of our
physicians prescribe n winter sojourn
in Florida.or Nassau 10 patients in ad-
vaneed stages of lung complaints. with
out much consideration of the possible
effects upon them of an enervating at
mosphere, the absence of home faces and
home comforts, and the weariness and
oneliness of n listless life among
trangers. .-Neso York Tribune.

How Spectacles are Made.

A writer in the Philadelphia Pres
says: The white lens in use in the
ordinary spectacle Of commerce is made
OF the common window pane glass rolled
in sheets; sometimes il is made into
balls. From these are cut pieces of
about one and a quarter 10 one and
half inches in size; they are then taken
into the grinding room and each piece
cemented separately upon what is called
lap of semi-circular shape. These
are made TO fit into n corresponding
curve or saucer, into which fine emery
powder is introduced and subjected TO .
swift rotary motion. The gradual curve
in the lap gives TO the glass as it is
ground a corresponding shape. until the
desired center is reached the lap is then
taken out and subjected to warmth.
which melts the cement sufficiently to
permit the glass being removed and
turned upon the opposite side, when the
same process Is renewed. This being
completed, the lenses are detached again
from the lap and taken 10 another de-
partment, where they are shaped to fit
the frames. This is accomplished by a
machine of extreme delicacy. Each
piece of glass is put separately upon n
rest, when diamond Is brought to bear
upon it, moving in the form of an oval,
thus cutting the desired size; but the
edges, of course, are rough and sharp,
and must be beveled. For this purpose
they are turned over into another set of
hands, mostly girls, who have charge
oil the grindstones, which are about six
inches in thickness. Each operator is
provided with a gauge; the glass is
taken between the foreiinger and thumb
and held sufficiently sideways TO pro-
duce half the desired bevel; when this
Is attained 1t is again turned and the
other side of the bevel completed.
During this process IL is constantly
guaged in order to ascertain that the
frame will close upon 1t without too
much pressure, which would break the
lens.
The next process 10 which the lens
Is subjected Is that of focusing" and
requires extreme care. The person hav.
ing this department TO attend TO Is placed
in small room alone; across the en-
trance Is hung curtain, which Is only
drawn aside sufficiently to admit the
required amount of light from window
several feet away, upon one of the top
panes of which is placed a piece of
heavy cardboard with q small hole cut
In the center representing the bull's-eye
of target. Through this the rays of
light shine upon the lens in the hands
OF n workman and are reflected through
It to n dark background. The lens Is
then moved back and forth upon an
inch measure until the proper focus Il
attained. Say. for instance, the extreme
end of the measure Is sixty-two inches.
the lens is placed at that. but does not
focus; It is gradually moved along inch
By inch, until, perhaps, it Is brought to
thirty-six inches. At this the proner
height of center or focus II attained.
and 1t Is then numbered thirty six. The
same operation l. of course necessary
with every lens. This accounts for the
numbers which are upon spectaclss or
glasses Of any kind when purchased.

CannibaliSm.

Cannibalism has lately pressed It's
claims on public attention in n variety
OF shapes, says the New York Sun. In
the first place came the war of King
Amachree, with a powerful vassal, Will
Broid, on the west coast of Africa. near
the equator, Mt the delta of the Niger.
There, after n battle, the survivors
feasted on the killed. and the prisoners,
to the number of about two hundred, il
being the most profuse banquet of the
sort known in that region for years.
Then came the case of the Indian canni-
bal, Swift Runner, executed the other
day ut Fort Saskatchewan, after having
killed and eaten successively his mother.
his wife and his seven children. Then
occurred the mention by Mr.. Bell. OF
the cannibal witch in the East Indies,
who devoured her son. assisted in the
task by two o.her members of her sex.
Finally we have the three natives of the
Marquesas islands who lately visited
San Francisco as a part of the crew OF
.fe French gunboat Lamothe Piquet.
They were of large stature, with regu-
lar features, finely tattooed, and with
full, soft, expressive eyes; they were
man eaters. Phe crew ot this gunboat
had year before discovered the bodie;
oftwelve captured Frenchmen prepared
for eating, on the island of New Gale.
donia This is the description which
the San Francisco Call gave of the affair:
They effected landing at a point
where the train had been captured, and
surprised the savages while about to
feast upon the bodies of the captured
Frenchmen. The would-be banaueters
fed at their approach. but were pur-
sued, and fifteen of them killed. The
scene upon the beach, Captain Bienaime
says, where they landed, was sickening
in the extreme"
But while there has been of late, by a
singular coincidence, rather run oi
canniba,istic news. these bad practices
are, In general. rapidly running out. Be.
fore long they win cease altogether. for
civilization is extending, and In civil
