Last Wishes.

Some eccentric people trouble them
selves greatly concerning the disposition
of their bodies after death. An English
woman bequeathed a surgeon 800, 600
on condition that he should once in every
year look upon her face, two witnesses
being present. Another lady, of an
economical turn of mind, desired that if
she should die away from home, her re-
mains, after being placed in a coffin,
should be enclosed in a plain deal box,
and conveyed by goods train to her ma
tive town. "Let no MENTION" she states,
''be made of contents, as the conveyance
will not then be charged more for than
an ordinary package" French traveller,
recently deceased, desired to be buried
in a large leather trunk to which he was
attached, as it chad gone around the
world with him three times;" and an
English clergyman and Justice of the
Peace, who, at the age of twenty-three
had married a girl of thirteen, desired
to be buried in an old chest he had Sc
lected for the purpose. In the matter of
burial, too, all sorts of whimsical notions
are cherished. One man wished 10 be
been lying; another desired to be buried
ture may "smile upon his remains
and a third ~bequeathed his corpse for
dissection, after which it was to be put
into a deal box and thrown into the river.
One man does not wish to be buried at
all; but gives his body to a gas company,
to be consumed to ashes in one of their
r~etorts, adding that should the supersti-
ton of the times prevent the fulflment
of his bequest, his executors may place
his remains in a city cemetery, $50 as
sist in poisoning the living in that neigh.
borhood." A person may approve
himself of cremation, but it is a
little hard when he requires his relatives
to approve of it also. In cases of this
kind, it cannot be incumbent upon
friends to regard the last wishes of the
dying.

Tamerlane's Human Pyramid.

The great conqueror of Central Asia,
in ten years from the time he struck the
first blow, had risen to absolute authority
over a numerous and warlike people.
Timur (also called Timur-Beg or Timur-
Leng, for his lameness, and known
among Western writer's as Tamerlane)
had successfully warred against the
Kalmucks and the tribes Khaurezin, and
turned his attention, between these cam
paigns, to supporting Toktemesh Khan,
of the claimants to the throne of Kipec-
hak, ultimately, in 1876, placing him in
undisputed possession. Then, with the
view Of restoring its former limits to the
empire of Jagatal, he summoned the
Prince of Herat and the other chiefs OF
Northern Khorassan, and, on their
refusal, immediately attacked and re-
duced them to submission, levying a
contribution as a penalty. But, ia 1883,
the people of Herat again rebelled, and
murdered the ENJOYS whom he sent to
demonstrate with them. Timur avenged
this by attacking and capturing the city.
He took 1000 of the garrison and built
them up with alternate layers of brick
and mortar in the form of a pyramid, Of
horribly singular and effective reminde,
of the consequences of rebellion.

Mems Pants.

Full dress pants lave always sustained
many objections, and men have never
been entirely satisfied with the bifurcated
garment. If they reach the boot heel,
they must either take the dirt and dust
of the street, or men must suffer what is
infinitely worse-the hideousness OF
walking the streets with pants "rolled
up" You can conceive of nothing more
"alarming " to the eye of beauty than a
man standing in pants whose lower edges
are "curled up" He presents h ap-
pearance of having on q garment for
which he has improvised dirty and rag
ged rufies, made of the same material
as the body of the pants. To bring the
thing before you wildly, think OF a statue
made of a man with his pants turned
up." How would that kind of a figure
look in marble? We have always
Thought that the author of the novel en-
titled "He Cometh Not, She Said"
must have been endowed with a fine
sense of beauty. She makes one OF her
characters discard her lover because she
saw him passing on the other side OF the
street with his pants turned up"
Another horror attending the common
pants as worn by men, is that they
ssbag horribly at the knee" As yet
there has been no means suggested to
overcome the disabilities now imposed
upon ordinary trousers. They will have
to continue. It was thought that the
aesthetic craze might afford some relief,
but the Cincinnati Gazette says
Accepting knee breaches az the aesthetic
clothes, several persons nave written In
their favor that they will avoid that bag
giness to which trousers are subject at
the knees, from the devotional posture,
and from the habit of sitting with one
leg resting on the other. Not to dis
courage this movement, but to prevent
disappointment in a worthy effort, 1t
should be mentioned that this idea of
the exemption of knee breaches from
being kneed is a radical error, for that
their being fastened just below the knee,
and the tightness which befits This gar.
ment, allow no slack for the bending OF
the knee; therefore would knee breeches
be kneed more than trousers. That
shorter form of breeches, which does
not come to the knee, would be requisite
to avoid this bagginess. Yet the tights
worn under these would bag. The
aesthetic clothes are not free from diff
iculty, but no one should be discouraged.
The cause is worthy of a great effort, and
of a great sacrifice, if necessary. Let
every aspiring aesthetic say, with Harry
v, sOnce more to the breach, deal

the knees. 1t has also a picturesqueness

Force Exerted in Piano Playing.

The celebrated pianist, Gottschalk, was
highly amused on finding his performances
studied very closely by a scientist who
had published a treatise on the num-
Der of muscular efforts that may be made
in a given time, for this learned.
savant found that in one brilliant piece
Gottschalk exceeded,greatly the estimate
he had made after careful consideration.
The number of consecutive percussions
given out were found to be quite aston
ishing. Although Gottschalk pretended
to be grately entertained by his critics
and their widely differing points Of view,
yet he must have already known that his
physical strength was great. Although
to all appearance d~elicately constituted,
he wrestled with the muscular giants
who were engaged in moving his heavy
concert pianos, and with a success that
astonished them so greatly as to make it
a subject of conversation to the present
day.
When Bulow was on his concert tour
through Germany and Austria he met
Rubenstein at Vienna. They were both
playing on the Bozendorfer pianofortes,
but Bulow would not play on Ruben
STEMS instrument. He would have an
other one provided for his use. Prof.
Schmidt, of that city, being curious to
learn the real reason Of this determine
ton, examined the "touch" of each in
strument, respecting the depth the key
sank and the weight required to depress
them to the lowest point. The piano
forte hat Rubenstein played required
an average weight of eighty-eight grams
Zone gram being equal to fifteen and a
half grains), while Bulow's required an
average of 105 grams. Therefore the
keys of the Rubenstein pianoforte were
easier to put in action than those of Blu
lows p~ianoforte ; but on the other hand
the keys sank fully twenty-five per
cent. deeper than Bulow's, SC that the
action of both pianos made pretty equal
demands on the physical powers of the
respective performers. But if Bulow
had played on Rubenstein's instrument
he would have found his hands sinking
too deep, for they are small. To play
on an instrument with a deep touch one
must have long fingers.
Prof. Schmidt counted the number Of
notes played by Rubinstein at one of his
concerts and found them to be 60, $50 in
number, and therefore equal to a pres.
sure of 1884 pounds in weight. On the
Bulow instrument they would be equa,
to a pressure of 1,190 SO pounds.
When it is considered that something
more than pressure is needed in a bril-
liant fortissimo, and on a large instru
ment in a large hall, and that a high de
gree of velocity must be given to the
hammer and not the mere motion due *
some weight, some estimate of the ex
penditure of force necessary to delive,
such persuasive accents from the fingers
may be made.-Home Journal.

Stopping or STAYING.

Hypercritical folks will have it that
it is not proper to say "stopping" at a
hotel. "Staying" is the right expires
sion. In the name of common sense,
why? A person "stops" where he
"stays," doesn't he? And, if there is
any choice between the words, /" stop"
should be preferred. A majority of the
patrons of hotels remain but q single
night. To stay at q place rather implies
a long period. But either words
