Gushing Clara.

The London correspondent of the
New York Mirror tells the following
new story about Clara Morris: |
was sitting in the shadow of the
Poets Corner some years ago when
a party made up of Americans
grouped themselves about the slab
above Charles Dickens. One of them,
young woman of much emotional
action, whom I afterwards learned
to be Clara Morris, the New York
actress, wept great tears and be-
trayed unusual grief. In her hands
she carried huge bunch Of violets,
which, with tragic gesture, she
strewed broadcast over the pave
ment; then turning aside, quite over
come, she leaned her head on a
friends shoulder. In that moment a
tidy vergcr, with rush broom,
swiftly and deftly gathered the
whole tribute into pan. | cannot
readily depict the anger and aston
ishment depicted on the actress face.
"Why, hang the man." she exclaim-
ed. ssThat beats the transformation
scene in a pantomine-but here we
are again, Mr.. Merryman." And
again she produced supply of yio-
let's from basket and scattered them
about. "Go on!" she cried to her
party; go and see the tombs of Noah
and John the Baptist. Charles shall
be decorated if l have to sit here and
hold the flowers on top of him" /"
And there she remained, keeping off
the off cious vergers nearly an hour.

Dress Mad.
Behold her at eleven.

Behold her at eleven.
Her limbs unfettered by the long
skirts of conventionality, she runs,
she jumps, she slides on the ice ponds,
she rolls hoop, she climbs fences, she
leaps, she kicks, she runs races and
is as feet on foot as the boys. Her
appetite is good, her cheeks rosy, and
her movements unconsciously grace
full. But all this must cease.
Behold her again at twenty. No
more does she run or jump or roll
hoop, run races or slide on the ice.
1t is not s'proper" now nor ladylike,
and she couldn't if she would, for
she is fettered by long skirts, tight
shoes and tighter stays. Her move
ment has no longer the freedom and
unconscious grace Of childhood, for
now when she walks abroad she
walks to be looked at, which now in
her estimation is the main object of
walking. She is already in delicate
health, and has doctor who pre-.
scribes expensive advice and pre-
scriptions for her, and ascribes her
complaints to everything but the real
cause. That simply the lettering OF
her body with fashionable clothes.
Physically she is now a prisoner. At
eleven she was free. The doctor ad-
vises travel, but he doesn't advise her
to take off and keep off her fashion.
able fetters. She wouldn't do SO if he
did, and he wouldn't advise her if he
knew it would bring relief, for she
would no longer believe in a doctor
who would make her dress like a
guy; and being dressed like "guy"
is dressing differently from the style
prescribed by Paris modiste. Diana
never could hunt in trailing skirt,
narrow, tight, high-heeled CATERS,
and a punched, corseted waist, but
Diana with a belted tunic and unfet-
tered limbs would be bounced off
Broadway by the nearest policeman.
Dressing for health and freedom of
limb and body is one thing, and
dressing for fashion quite another.
A man couldn't endure the pinching
and encumbrances peculiar to femin-
inc attire for an hour, and a pretty
spectacle he'd make rushing about in
such during business hours. Yet the
"weaker SEX wear double the en-
cumbrances Of the so called stronger.
To sdress" at all after the style uses
up half of woman's time and two
thirds of her strength.

PNEUMoNIA.-Pneumo is an infia-
nation of the tissue-the heshy sub
stance-of the lungs and is accompanied
by fever, pain in some part OF the lungs,
and usually bloody expectoration, and
great difficulty of breathing. The in
famed tissue swells and crowds upon the
smaller air tubes, and thus, more or less,
cuts off the air from the air cells. Death
may thus result instantly. But, gener-
ally this shutting off of the air is only
partial, though even this may be suffi-
cient to prevent the necessary oxidization
of the blood, and the patient may die of
bIood-poison. That is, the effete matter
of the system, instead of being thrown off
by the lungs is retained and accumulates
within, the circulation, SO that the vital
fluid ceases to nourish and stimulate the
nervous centres. A common cold may
run into pneumonia, especially if the
system has been debiliated by bad air,
insufficient food, or anything which has
weakened it's average recuperative
power. But in the aged there is gener-
ally weakened physical condition, and
with them cold is always dangerous. It
should be Immediately attended to, and
if it is severe physician should be
called. This would save raany life.
The variable weather of the last two
months has been especially prolific OF
pneumonia.

Tho manufacture of sins is SO easy
manufacture that man could easily be
persuaded that it was wicked to use the
the left leg as much as the right; whole
congregations could only permit them
selves to hop. and would consider that
when they walked in the ordinary fashion
they were committing deadly sin.

Chemical Discovery.

Did you know that bread is not only
eaten, but eats? Darwin has told us that
some flowers enjoy a porter-house steak.
Now M. Scheurer Kestner assures us
bread has partiality for hogs and hon.
inv. The discovery is interesting to dys-
peptics, for bread can be made to do the
work of the alimentary canal and relieve
dyspeptics of all bother except mere
deglutition-and, of course, paying the
bakers bill, which is harder work than
digestion. Science has since found that
several vegetable juices, or saps, dis
solve meat, but M. Scheurer Kestner is
the first person who observed that in the
process of bread making peculiar fer
mentation takes place which produces
complete digestion of meat.
A beefsteak hashed fine and mixed
with dough containing yeast disappears
entirely by the time the bread is taken
from the oven. The steaks nutritive
principles are dissolved and incorporated
into the bread. Not the least curious
phenomenon noticed in these circum-
stances is that meat, which so rapidly be-
comes putrid, when once incorporated
into bread may be kept longer than ordi-
nary bread. Bread made in 1878 has
been shown the Academy of Science; it

it came out of the oven.
At first M. Scheurer Kestner used raw
meat; he mixed one and one-tenth pounds
of -four, one pound of leaven and three
fourths of pound of raw beef minced
fine; water in sufficient quantity was
added, and the dough was left to ferment
In two or three hours the meat had dis
appeared. The bread was then baked as

BILE, sour taste. To remove it M.
Scheurer Kestner first boiled the meat in
just the quantity of water necessary 80
wet the flour, and used this water in
kneeding. The meat should be rid of all
fat, and only salt enough to season the
bread added; for if too much salt be
added the bread will become humid (salt
being greater absorber of water) and
spoil. The objection to this bread is that
it isinsipid. If bacon be used instead
of beef the objection is removed. Veal,
too, makes delicious meat-bread. All
these breads may be used to make soup.

suits necessary for their selfsnpport.

Democratic Caucus.
The democratic Senators held caucus this
morning, called nominally TO consider what
order OF business be adopted to secure an
early adjournment, but the question specih-
cally involved was whether the Spofford-k kel-
logg case be brought before the Senate for
action at an early day or be postponed In fav-
or of other business. Several senators espec-
tally Hill of Georgia and Salisbury of Della
ware, argued that it be disposed of without de-
lay, but number of others urged an immed-
ate attention to the appropriation bills and
necessary general legislation and leave all
questions not requiring present attention TO
go over until next session. 1t was asserted
that congress could finish all necessary busi-
ness and adjourn by June 10, if proper

edly in favor of letting the Spofiord-kellogg
case go over until next session.

Mining Notes.

Mining Notes.
The Bluehili Mining Company is reported
,old to Lake Superior mining men. Their
experts visited the Bluehill mines some ten
DAYS ago.
Mr.. Warden, the accomplished English
mining engineer, who is to take charge of
the consolidated Acton mines, has arrived in
New York, and is expected in Portland to-
day.
The Scientific American of this week in
leading editorial on the Maine mines, says:
"lf tenth part Of these mines are based on
: deposits of real value, and some of them
certainly are, the future of Maine as n great
mining State is assured" In summing up
the facts it also says:
Altogether the prospect is fair that, after
aperiod of feverish activity, during which
much capital is likely to be sunk in ill-con-
'ldered ventures. the mining interests Of
Maine will settle down to permanent and
profitable work in a sufficient number of To-
eates to give the State an honorable rank
among the great mining districts of the
world

The Iron Market.

PrrTsBuRG, April $. The lull in the pig
iron market the past few days is having its
effect on manufacturing interests in this vi
cinity. There is some talk among manufac-
turers of closing their establishments rather
than continue operations, piling up stock and
awaiting orders. Workmen claim on the
other hand that the talk about dulness in
trade is always expected at this season of the
year. the time for signing.
The Western Iron Association resolved to
reduce card rates from 81 to $500, to take
effect on the 18th.
