Died for His Oyercoat,

Among the 900 victims of the Ring
Theater, Vienna, was Henry Samek, the
chief of the claaue, who, after display
ing extraordinary gallantry in rescuing
several persons from the galleries of the
burning house, lost his life in q vain
effort to save-his overcoat! His thor
ough knowledge OF the ms and outs of
the theater enabled him to enter itagain
and again, each time with impunity and
success, in his heroic purpose, while the
confagration was raging. He had just
conveyed an insensible woman from one
of the lobbies into the balcony overlook
ing the Hess-Gasse, when he suddenly
remembered that he had left his over
coat hanging from a peg close to the
exit from the third gallery, in which
part of the house he had been seated
when the fire broke out, and forthwith
resolved to recover it. One of his SUBJ
-ordinates entreated him to forego so
perilous an enterprise, and even endeav-
ored to keep him back by main force.
But Samek, an extremely powerful man,
shook him off, exclaiming: "Nothing
can happen to me, for I know the house
as well as I know my own pocket" and
vanished into the smoke, never more to
emerge thence alive. Thus persisted the
head purveyor of applause to the ILL
fated Ring Theater on the scene of his
nightly labors. He died for a coat, it is
true; but not until he had proved him.

Rapid Breathing as an Anesthetic.

DR.. M. 7. Yates, in letter published
In the Biblical Record, says OF the
surgical operations to which he has re-
Gently submitted: "My doctors said
that they had seen it stated by an Amer
lean doctor that if person would
breathe as rapidly as possible under an
operation he would not feel the pain of
cutting, and tsey wished to try it on
me, to which proposal assented. DR..
Macleod superintended the breathing
which was like a dog on hot summer
day-holding, out Of my sight, hand
kerchief in his hand to be dropped as q
signal-when he saw the color come to
my face-for Henderson. the operating
doctor to go ahead. When Macleod told
me sThat will do, I was surprised to
find that the operation had been per-
formed. This have tried three times,
and have not, at either time, felt more
pain than is usually inflicted in the case
of vaccination. I heard the knife rip
through the flesh, like the sound pro-
duced in cutting leather, but L did not
feel the pain. What is the philosophy
of this kind of an anaesthetic? Is it
simply division of the mind? We pre-.
sumo the rapid breathing acts very much
like the inhalation of laughing gas chat
it oxidizes the blood more highly and
makes the heart beat faster, as shown by
the color in the face, and this e1hilara-
ton produces insensibility to physical
pain. A man slightly wounded in battle
often does not know it at the time
partly, perhaps, because of mental pre-
occupation, but mainly, we suppose, be-
cause he is toned up by the excitements
of the conflict. But, whatever may be
the explanation, DR.. Yates experience
is an instructive instance of the connec-
ton and interaction of bodily estate and
mental sensibility. = Richmond { Va.)

Trained Birds.

The Chinese, who are famed foringenu-
ity, have succeeded in teaching birds to
fish. Instead of carrying nets the fish
ermen provide themselves with a large
number Of cormorants which perch on
the edge of the boats. It is a curious
spectacle to see these creatures engaged
in fishing, diving into the water and al
ways coming up with a fish in their
beaks. As the Chinese fear the vigor-
GUS appetites of their feathered servants,
they fasten around their necks an iron
ring, large enough to allow their breath
ing but too small to admit of the fish
they seize; to prevent their straying
about in the water and wasting the time
desired for their work, a cord is attached
to the ring and to one claw Of the cor
morant by which he is pulled up when
inclined to stay too long under water.
When tired he is permitted to rest for a
while; but if he abuse the indulgence
and waste his time, few strokes Of the
bamboo recall him to duty, and the poor
diver resumes his laborious occupation.
In passing from one fishing ground to an
other, the cormorants perch side by side,
so as not to disturb the equilibrium of
the frail vessel.

The Widow Stewart and Her Lonely
Home.

Mrs. A. T. Stewart has passed seven
years in widowhood, and during that
time has occupied the most spacious
house ever built in the Fifth avenue pre-
vious to the Vanderbilt palaces. She
lives here entirely alone with the sole
exception Of her house-keeper, half a
dozen servants and the coachman. The
establishment is kept closed, and in APP
pearance, at least, is one of the loneliest
places in the city. The palatial struct-
IRE stands back from the street at least
thirty feet, for Stewards taste required
display of retirement. Viewed in front
the immense structure appears like the
abode ofsilence. The curtains are down,
and the broad porch which graces Thirty
fourth street is seldom entered till even
ing in fact, the enormous building
now suggests the idea of mausoleum.
What is to become of it? This is a very
interesting question. Its occupant is
old and cannot last long, and hence the
place is peculiarly liable to the law of
mutation. Mrs. Stewart seldom leaves
the building, but the servants can easily
step out by the rear gate, for they never
use the grand entrance. Judge Hilton
and Mr.. Libby often make short calls,
and DR.. Marcy is occasionally in, but
these exceptions hardly break the long
reign of silence. The first floor con-
tains the receiving room, drawing-room,
dlning-room and picture gallery. The
ceilings are eighteen feet high, except
the last mentioned, which is nearly for
ty. The furniture is elegant beyond de-
scription. Ascending a marble stair
case, the library is reached, and also
the Stewart bedroom and the apartments
for guests, all gorgeously furnished.
Think of so grand an establishment be-
ing solely occupied by widow and her
servants. This palace, like most struct-
ures of the kind, is highly inconvenient.
One would think, indeed, that it was
built more for appearance than for COM
fort. The latter, however, is rarely con-
sidered in the domestic architecture of
great city. Had Stewart been disposed
to make spacious and accommodating
house he could easily have accomplished
his object but what would he world say +?
The determination to excel all that had
gone before him led to the construction
of this snowy but inconvenient house.
Reader, think of that feeble old lady be-
ing obliged to make the ascent of thirty
six steps (each six inches) in order to
reach her bedroom. No wonder the
poor creature got severe fall, from
which she suffered in serious and pro-
tracted manner. Personally speaking,
Mrs. Stewart Gas saw her recently in
public is small woman, and wears a
brown wig, her sole ornaments being
diamond earrings Of very snowy char
acter. she is the richest widow in the
city, being worth at least 100000 900.

a MISSING BABY.

A woman was wheeling baby-wagon
carefully across the Campus Martius,
when several men screamed to her to
''look out p and span of horses, driven
wildly, came tearing across, as if about
60 demolish everybody. With the per-
sistence Of her sex, however, the woman
looked the other way, and in moment
the baby-buggy was overthrown and lay
turned over in heap, while the carriage
kept on up Woodward avenue without
even Stacking speed.
One man in spring overcoat and sun
flower gloves ran and turned the buggy
up expecting to find the baby dead un-
derneath, and a number of ladies
shrieked and begged him to get the
"dear little thing out" Several gentle
men who had been leaning in musing
mood against the Detroit Opera House
essayed to help him, but though they
righted the buggy no baby was to be
seen.
cit is smothered in the mud p shrieked
one Of the ladies.
cit must have chung to the horses
and have been carried off," suggested
another.
''How did it get away?" they all
asked.
"Nodo the poor little thing is dead
by this time" said another kindly
matron. s'Have you looked all through
the thingsa"
At this moment it occurred to some of
them that the mother would be the right
person to appeal to, and they turned to
her. She was standing coolly on the
crossing, arms-a-kimbo. watching the
proceedings.
"The baby is all right" she said
airily. 81 left her to home while took
the buggy to bring home the washing.
Hev you got all the pieces picked up?
eos if you have I may as well be goin'
onp'
To see the disgust impressed on the
countenances ofallinterestedw was study
in human nature. Not one of the crowd
was glad that baby was safe at home.
They would much rather have picked it
out of the mud But each one recalled
the fact that man vas once hung for
not attending to his own business, and
sneaked off.-Detroit Post.

rem speak hopefully of the future, having
faith that a revival Will come and add

ones are in great doubt about their
church's surviving the philosophic and
material tendencies of the age. "Our
leaders are old men," said one of them;
Sin ten OR fifteen years they Will all ba
dead. We have no one of equal talena
and devotion to take their places. Thd
ideas and ways of the world gain groung
with us all the time. Our best youne
men leave us because they do not lik.
the restraints Of our life and want indi-
vidual careers. Recruiting our commus
mites by bringing up children has
proven discouraging failure. do not
know what will become OF us unless
there comes change in the public
mind which shall bring the religiout
principle more strongl, into play" The
Shakers are not as numerous now as in
the first decade of the century.
