ALMOST AN ENOCH ARDEN CASE IN Tow
ANDA.-About Il year ago MICHAEL DAUGH-
ERTY, a railroad man, left this place for Chi
cago. Shortly thereafter his wife, who re-
mained here, received telegram annOunc-
ing his death by accident while coupling
cars in Chicago. She put on "widows'
weeds" and mourned for time, and then
probably forgot her dead husband in the COM
pany of others, although she did not re-
marry. Who should appear on our streets,
one day last week but the vcritable MIKE,
who had been mourned rs dead.
MINIATURE ENGINE.-P. NJ. COOLBAUGH,
who runs the engine at JOHNSON & Co.'S
foundry, has just completed an engine Of di-
mlnutive proportions. The boiler, which is
IN upright, is feet in diameter and % inch
es high: contaiuS 80 tlues, agyregating 1870
feet of pipe, The engine, to which is attach
cd pump, is also upright and occupies but
little space. The machine was fired up for
4 trial the other night. The boiler was filled
with ten gallons Of cold water. In five min
utes after the fire was lighted there was suffi-
cient steam to blow the whistle; in minutes
the engine was started and in ten minutes the
steam guage indicated 50 lbs. Every stroke
of work on the unique little machine was
done by Mr.. COOLBAUGu last is he could get
opportunity to Use the tools, but the job Is rs
perfect as ii could have been made by IA ma
rhnist. The engine is TO be placed in Il small
boat to run on the river.

Some years ago the French Ministry ad-
dressed a circular to all the Projects, de-
string them to institute inquiries into the
conditions which appear peculiarly to IA
vor longevity in their several districts, and
the replies are said to have almost unani-
mollsly indicated as the leading elements
Or influences, great sobricty, regular labor,
and generally in the open air, daily exer-
else short Of fatigue, early hours, n COM
paratively wellto-do life, calmness Of
mind in meeting troubles, moderate intel
lectua powers, and family life. The ben
eticial influence Of marriage on the dnra-
ton of life is universally admitted, and re-
marriage does not seem to be unfavorable.
The Projects also indicate heredity as a
frequent cause, and the influence of eli
mate is likewise admitted; this latter, how
ever, is inseparable with difficulty from
other causes which may be operating sim
ultaneously; but, if all things were other
wise equal, it would seem that southern
are less favorable to longevity than north
crn climates.

Uncertainty of BLOOD Stains i'm
Evidence.

The circumstantial evidence of minute
blood stains in criminal cases has been
made much of in several recent trials. The
value of such evidence has been seriously
questioned by Dr.. Charles O. Curtmam,
of St. Louis, who shows that, even when
the suspected blood has been shown to be
Enthusiastically human, the accused may
plead that the blood stains were caused by
predatory insects. In his experimental in
vestigations Or. Curtman allowed mosqui-
toes to take their fill Of human blood,
then, after keeping them in close confinc-
ment for periods Of varying length, he
killed them and examined the blood.
In all cases, up to forty-eieht hours after
meal, large proportion of human blood
corpuscles were unchanged and readily
recognizable. The size and color of the
corpuscles of mosquito blood are very
different from human. AS the result of
more than a hundred careful measure
ments, he gives the following sizes: HUI
man blood (after inhibition by the
mosquito) averages, in dilute glycerine,
1920 inch; in 50 per cent. alcohol, 1-4900
inch. Mosquito blood averages, in dilute
glyccrinc, 1-14000 inch; in so per cent
alcohol, 1880 inch. III the case Of bed
| bugs it was found that these insects digest
| blood much more rapidly than mosquitoes
! do. After twelve hours no trace of human
blood was discovered.

How TO Hang 1'laerInoTnetcrs.

There seem to be SO many erroneous
notions among the many amateur meteor
ologists of the city about the minimum
temperature Of the twcnty-four hours, and
how to obtain it correctly, says a c'rrcs-
pondcnt of the ST. Paul Pioneer Press, that
Il few lines from an old ''weathercOck," /" ]
trust, will not be altogether lost. In the
first place, then. the tenn nl,efatttre off stilc
wall Gf any bnildiag at any hour Of the
night or day is not the true temperature of
the circulating air, and is of no Use to sci
encc. A wood wall will radatc its heat
more rapidly than brick or stone, and
the amateur scientist who hangs his ther-
momcter on a wood wall can force his mer-
curry down below the amateur who selects
a brick wall. The proper way to expose
your thermometer is to surround it with a
light wood frame, covered with Stats, like
shutter work, and rooted over. This will
protect it from the rays of the sun reflected
heat. Run a light wood bar across the
centre of your shelter, to which you can
attach the thermometer, which should be,
when properly exposed, on the north side
of the building, and at least one foot from
all surrounding objects. If these direc-
tions are followed, erroneou reportss of ex-
treme cold weather will not find their way
into print so often. 1t is not a very funny
thing for the press to report 25 degrees be-
low zero, when Is degrees represented the
true temperature of the circulating air. 1t
gives persons abroad wrong impressions OF
your climate.

Remember the Poor.

Winter is upon us, and from the
present aitioek it will be the hardest
one for the poor to pass through that
has been. experienced for many years.
There are many deserving poor among
US to whom little assistance during
the coming season will be almost a
necessity. There was, and for aught
we know may be yet, an organization
in lola whose aim was to ameliOrate
the condition of those whom sickness
or calamity had rendered them not OBJ
jects of charity but yet who needed
assistance temporarily. If not yet in
existence it should be recognized.
And this winter it should be literally
provided with funds. Let those who
have an abundance remember that
"Charity is the scope of all Gods COM
mands," and that in giving that they
they will find a pleasure not to be
realized in any other act. Living will
cost more by one-third this winter
than last, and a careful but liberal
giving will be not only charitable
but necessary act. Remember there
are some deserving poor who cannot
bring their minds to consent to the
asking for aid.

George Martin has resumed the con-
troll of theHJunctiOn City Union, after
u lapse of eight years. 1t appears in
new type, four pages of eight columns
each, and all printed at home. Mr..
Martin takes occasion to define his
views on various matters, and among
them on Prohibition, which he does III
the following manner:
AS the question ofdrinks is now up
permost will say that we belong to a
very large and highly respectable class
of citizens who have so far in life MAIN
tanned their virtue, and abstained from
all doubtful drinks. We have touch
ed forty as teetotaier, and we have
thought as earnestly, worked more
vigorously and literally, and with at
least as much sense and judgment con-
corning the rum question as any other.
There Is some spice to humbugs = the
idea that Prohibition prohibits 10 too
.glaring to be at all spicy. We are 6p-
posed to drunkenness, and all we can
do about it is to say, ''Do as we do"
AS moral question it will always be
with US, and is worthy the Thoughtful
effort of every man, more especially
his example rather than the product Of
his lip. But as legal and political
question we are Of the opinion that it
is gorgeous fraud. When some fell
low is done riding it that will be the
end of it as a. political question until
some other fellow wants to ride 1t:
And as legal question the farce Of
whiskey trials was just as apparent un-
der the license law as it is to-day.

In speaking of Wayne McVeag

In speaking of Wayne McVeagh,
Kansas City Journal the editOrially
says: "The greatest mistake made by
the late President Garfield, was in the
selection of Wayne McVeagh as one Of
his cabinet. He never had any pOlit-
zeal standing in Pennsylvania, except
what he attained by reason of his
wealth. He thrust himself forward on
several occasions-a self-constituted
"reformer," and once tried in the har-
ness of practical craftsmanship he has
proved the most complete failure that
has appeared in the field of American
POLITICS for many years. Ever since
the first cabinet meeting he has been
nothing but chronic grumbler. Pres
ident Arthur cannot dismiss him too
sooa for the good of the country.
