The Shanghai Mercury says A very
singular discovery IS reported to have been
made by party of six Spanards while on
shooting expedition in the island OF
Fomente9a, which is part cf the Baiearic
group. They came upon large cavern,
entrance to which seemed almost impos-
sible, owing to the thick growth of
brambles. Their curiosity, however, was
excited 10y the evidence that the cavern
was made by human hands, and they
cleared away the obstacles IN their path,
arriving after several hours hard work in
spacious chamber of Arab architecture
IN an excellent state Of preservation. In
the center of this chamber stood two
splendid tombs of very peculiar shape
and of great external beauty. They
lifted, without much difficulty, the lids
of these two tombs and were greatly as
tonished to find that they contained the
mummies OF young woman and an eld-
erly man of colossal stature Upon the
head of the woman was diadem which,
if the stones are real, is of priceless value.
There was large pearl necklace round
her throat, carbuncles in her ears, and her
fingers were covered with rings. The
male figure had an imperial crown upon
its head and sceptcr in its right hand.

with explosive material, which on being

effect of bomb. The authorities are

Chicago Inter>Ocean: A recent letter
to this paper from Kansas describes the
preparations being made IN that State for
silk culture, and the statements were very
timely in connection with the recent meet
ing of tho silk-growers' association at
Phils delphia. where the letter was read
and discussed. The experts who were
present at the meeting declared that SAM
Piles exhibited were equal and in many re-
spects superior to those raised and reeled
in Italy and France. This fact is q basis
for the belief that great addition has
been made to the productive wealth OF
the country, and new and important oc>
cupation has been furnished to farmers
and gardeners. Wherever the mulberry
tree Can be grown silk can be raised. We
consume about $S5,000,0OO worth of
silk every year, and until now the great
proportion of it has been imported; but
the industry, both of the production and
manufacture, is making very rapid strides,
and it will not be many years before We
shall be able to ship silk abroad instead
of importing it.

Edmund Yates has been exposing the
deceptive arts Of the English professional
beauty. He says that she IS always pre-
pared for inspection, though her visitor
may be only some intimate friend. whose
loving tongue would be the first to pro-
claim that which should lie known. 1t
needs but visit or tive to the favorite
mlliners Of the day to show how oGm>
plete is the mask worn by the oman OF
fashion. Where an ordinary women
would fling aside her corsets altogether
the professional beauty puts on under her
tea-gown or wrapper another kind OF
corset inverted by considerate milIiners-
unboned, certainly, but SO made as to
produce the desired outline of figure.
The same principle is followed in hun
dred ways; among others the reuge-pot
is not forgotten. When you lind Amoret
asleep in her tea-gown 10y the drawing
room fire, she starts from her slum bers to
entertain you and give you five-o'clock
cup OF tea, you imagine it is the siesta
which she has INDUCED in which makes
her checks SO charming color, and be
eyes SO bright. You do net stay to argue
it out; but you imagine beng man, that
no reasonable woman would make up her
face in order to go to sleep by her own
drawing room fire. You go away con-
WINGED that Amoret, at least, does not
paint. You forget that Amoret was
aware of the possibility of your coming;
that she knew her dreamy figure and
bright eyes, lit by the fire. flame, would
make it very pretty pricture for your
memory; and, above all, that Amoret
lives only to be lovely. 1t is her profess
sion; she has nothing else to do.

Gen. Hazen, chief signal officer, has
tabulated statements concerning 600 tor
nadoes that have shaken up the people in
different parts OF the country during the
past 81 years. Their examination leads
to the conclusion that tornadoes most FREE
quently occur in summer and in the month
of June. They have occurred, however.
more frequently in April than in July.
and in May and September than in Au>
gust. Kansas is the State that has been
most afflicted, and that notwithstanding
the fact that the period during which
tornadoes have visited it have been com
paratively short. The state has had GO
tornadoes from 1859 to 1881; Illiaois has
had "a from 1854 to 1881; Missouri has
had Al from 1914 to 1881, New York has
had had 80 from 1881 to 1881; Georgia,
SO from 1854 to 1881; Iowa, 81 from 1854
to 1881; Ohio, % from 1923 from 1923 to
1881; Indiana, 81 from 1852 to 1880. The
states and territories that have had only
ore each from 1894 to 1891 are Colorado,
California. Indian Territory, Nevada,
New Mexico, Montana, Rhode Island,
West Virginia and Wyoming. The
storms occur most frequently from five to
six in the afternoon. The average widt h
of their path is 1885 feet. The clouds
run with velocity OF from ~ to 60 miles
an hour, and the velocity of the wind
within the vortex is 392 miles an hour
When the latter velocity is reached some
of the marvellous stories about the de-
structive power of the wind become en-
tirely credibls.

The principal duties of a brakeman
are to smoke cigarettes, sit with the
newsboy in the smoking car and read the
Police Meas. He is also required to rush
out on the platform at intervals to put
man off his seat on thing that looks
like the horizontal fy-wheel of a copy
ing press !; and screw the thing around
with an earnestness that makes it a mat
ter of wonder that he doesn't dislocate
the baggage car, or twist the train off the
track. There are other duties that devolve
on brakeman. He must be able to
hurl the name of every station he comes
to through the length of the Car, so that
the passengers can't catch it, and at
night he is required to run through the
ears every twenty minutes and wake up
sleeping passengers by knocking their
hats off with his lantern. Good brakes

his ears, and the thought of meeting
these friends in the near future is per-
haps his last conscious impression. AS
this drowsiness creeps over the system,
these images, molded from the past,
become as realities to the disordered
imagination. The germs from which
originate these strange combinations
have probably been lying dormant for
years in the registering ganglia of the
brain.
These death-bed visions are of COM
paratively frequent occurrence, and are
generally accepted as realities. The
theory which we promulgate, though
not new, VIII naturally excite prejudice !;
but it is better to know the truth than
cherish belief, however pleasing it be,
founded on error. Thomas ID. Spencer,
