An Eccentric Character.

Frederick Nj. Shaw went to Southern
California ten years ago TO establish a
vegetable diet colony. The enterprise
was failure, and Shaw, retiring to the
mountains, made house in tree top
He dressed in flannel shirt and trou-
sers and lived upon fruits and nuts. A
series of letters on the creation of the
human species and the best methods of
securing health gave him the reputation
as half philosopher, half crank. His
fame even deeply interested q New
Jersey schoolmistress named Margaret
Carey Wright. Their correspondence
ended in marriage by telegraph on
June 4, 1879. A dispatch was sent to
Shaw by the clergyman ut Newark, n.
j., saying: "Will Won take Margaret
Carey Wright, OF this city, to be your
welded wife," TO this Shaw respond
ed Il will, )" and two witnesses being at
each end of the line, the marriage was
accomplished. The bride was very
slow about joining her husband, but,
after he had given up all hope of seeing
her, she appeared and was taken out to
the mountain retreat by friend who
went in advance to find. the bridegroom
only in a shirt and cap, gathering
honey. He was prevailed upon to don
pair of trousers TO meet his bride.
The couple set up housekeeping in a
shanty built under his favorite tree.
To the bridegroom's walnuts and honey
was added box of raisius from the
friend. In this fashion the couple
lived for two years. when the woman
grew weary and took up her residence
in town. Shaw grew more eccentric,
and some of his utterances in the
presence of neighbor who had worried
him, led to the charge that he was in
sane He was examined and released.

George EliOt's Hands.

George Eliot was not beautiful
woman, but she had beautiful hands.
one of which was little wider and
plumper than the other. In conversa-
ton with her friends she would explain
this peculiarly. 1t had pleasing and
honorable Significance. When she was
10 years Of age she began (to use her
own affecting words) "to be acquainted
with the unspeakable grief of last
parting in the death of her mother
Soon after, her elder sister married and
removed to a new home, and then her
brother Isaac (the TON" of The
Mill on the Floss did the same. Be
ing thus left alone with her father, who
carried on farm and lived in rather
large house, she became his house
keeper and general assistant This
was her own choice, as her father was
in liberal circumstances, and offered to
hire q competent woman. He was
dotingly fond of his daughter, whom
he used to call his little wench," using
an. ancient English word which was
still employed in remote country places
as a term of endearment.
ihC AubuAO hhbiiOACoS, OiiV llAob SNhluo
of her age, was now initiated into prac-
teal life and labored for some years,
chiefly with those beautiful hands of
hers. She was dairy-mistress, house
keeper, gardeners assistant, seamstress
and occasionally even bore her part in
the harvest field, without ever quite
laying aside her books, and in winter
studying hard.
She would point, in late years, to her
broad right hand and mention, with
some pride, that its breadth bore testi-
mony to the great number of cheeses
and pats of butter she had made and
assisted to make in her earlier life.
She spent five years in this way before
her father gave up his farm and Office to
his son.
How much she derived from her
practical experience no reader of her
works need to be told. Beside
strengthening her mind and giving her
an essential part of education, it sup
piled her with the raw material OF
many of her most vivid and life-like
YOUTHS Companion.

Talk about the progrsss OF ciyfiizs-
toni Boast OF the advantages We en-
Joy in this last quarter OF the nineteenth
century, A moments comparison of
the gyrations of body and contortions
of countenance that are necessary to
get the average man inside his overcoat
with the ease with which one of our
savage ancestors wrapped q blanket
about him will convince any one that
all this Boosting and babbling about
the wonderful things We have done are
meaningless chatter. ~
The first stage of the proceeding, in
which he gets one sleeve of the over
coat outside one arm, is accomplished
without serious difficulty. 1t is when
he attempts to put on the other sleeve
and the button on his coat sleeve
catches on an unsupported rent In the
lining Of his oyercoat that his troubles
and the fears of those within arm
range begin. A wild wave of the right
arm, launching of the left shoulder
and "a vigorous contortion of the right
side of the face conduct him usually
past this ordeal. If it is near spring
and The lining of that sleeve has come
to be no longer a striking example of
harmony and unity, there are still
worse dangers before him. Something
usually catches when his arm is half
way through, and the spectacle that the
| noblest work of God, the last and finest
fruition of the creative power, then
presents is calculated to fill the heart Of
the red man and the savage with calm
superiority, and make him thankful
that he has refused to accept civiliza-
ton only AZ it is thrust upon him from
the point of the bayonet The unfort
innate victim of the progress of civil
cation and society's boosted advance
ments and improvements cranes his
head forward, waves both arms, works
first one shoulder and then the other in
the vain endeavor to get down the SUI
| perhuous amount of overcoat that in
sists on lying in snug little roll across
the back of his neck; finally. by dint
of elevating first the right and then the
left side of his mustache to near prox-
unity with his eyebrows, the feat is ac-
complished and his arm slides down the
sleeve.
Then he almost dislocates his arms
and his shoulders bump his ears in his
herculean efforts to pull down his I'M
dercoat, which in the struggle has
climbed to his shoulders and is lying
securely under his overcoat collar.
This part of the proceedings, however,
is conducted Wi hout serious danger or
inconvenience to any one else, other
than the necessity of beholding facial
contortions more wonderful than any
that marked previous stages of progress.
Such is the progress of putting on an
overcoat. Is it any wonder that Chief
Joseph and the Nez Perces, that Sitting
Bull and his people have resisted to the
death all attempts to make civilized In.
dams of them; to put them into state
where they would have to exchange the
easy and dignifed blanket for this EN-.
blem of torture and civilization p

What Is Done With Coal Dust.

According to the census returns the
amount of "culm," or coal dust, on
mining anthracite coal is "a per cent.
a year This waste amounts on anthra-
cite alone to 200, $50 tons; the sumo
loss in other States is estimated at &c
per cent, making a total return of
u, 449, 335 tons for last year. Many at
tempts have been made to utilize this
waste by converting it into fuel, wit ii
bituminous substances, such as pitch
or tar, but owing to the nature of the
combustion of these substances they
were soon consumed, when the coal
dust resumed its former state. The
difficulty has been solved by Mr.. w. H.
Corey, of England, who mixes the coal
dust with small quantity of dry fire
clay, and adding a small percentage OF
silicate of soda. The three materials
are Thoroughly mixed and submitted
to pressure. The blocks are as hard rs
ordinary lump coal.-Scientvfc Ms

AnnSthefic Bullets.

A German chemist has invented a
new kind of bullet which, he urges,
will, if brought into general use, great
ly diminish, if not altogether remove,
the horrors of war. The bullet is of a
brittle substance, breaking directly it
comes in contact with the object at
which it is aimed. 1t contains power
full anRsthetic, producing instantane-
ously complete insensibility, lasting for
twelve hours, which, except that the
action of the heart continues, is not to
be distinguished from death. A battle
field where these bullets are used will
in a short time be apparently covered
with dead bodies, but in reality merely
with the PROSTATE forms of soldiers re-
duced for the time being to state OF
Inconsistencies. While in this condi-
ton they may, the German chemist
points out, be carefully packed in am
bulance wagons and carried off as pris-
oners.-St. James Gazette.
