Mirage on the Maine Coast.

A few days ago there was n beautiful
mirage along the whole sea horizon.
The day had been warm and calm, and
to a person standing at the waters edge
waves of heated air seemed TO vibrate
with great intensity on the sea. Sud.
denly, at $50, the ocean assumed a
wonderful appearance. Above the blue
HORIZON seemed suspended in air a sec
ond ocean, which faded away and
formed gray vapor that appeared like
an immense tidal wave andfell and rose
to great height. Vessels before in
visible rose from below the horizon and
sailed in spectral procession through the
clouds. To the eastward Monhcgan
rose high above Fisherman's Isle, aud
kept company with a ghostly island
covered with dense forest. which quiv-
cred far beyond Pemaquid. A feet OF
schOoncrs south of Fisherman's Isle sud
denly stretched upward in a grotesquc
manner. A great heave in the atmos-
phere separated the masts, and the up
per sails scurried upward and dis
solved, only to appear again just above.
A sciner north of Damariscovc was
quickly transformed into very lcvia-
than. Her sails changed from white TO
gray, and swayed upward far abov
Damariscove. But on Damariscove wa.
the most wonderful appearance seen
To the south end of the island rose up
perpendicular columnar cliffs one hun
bred feet from the sea. The houses
were nearly hidden behind them. The
hill rolled together into mound, and
then unfoldcd TO twice its real length.
Just beyond the spectral cliffs the sea
broke on long ledge and the spray
lcaped skyward with lightning rapidly

We never enter dentists studio
without feeling uneasy. Not that wo
have any teeth which we cannot easily
remove without his aid, but still we are
awe-struck in his presence. 1t appears
that our teeth have gone into COM
mittee of the whole and move by pla-
toons; so we are not afraid of sudden
and unexpected attack on any stray
glers, still we remember what time
we once had with the old, back-number
teeth, and vince in sympathetic men,
DRY. The rooms OF these artists in
bicuspids and molars are no places for
quiet and cosy little chats on the follics
of tho day, or the lighter and more
frivolous topics of society.
something like that of champion
butcher, who kills and strings up his
victim, ready-dressed for the market,
in three minutes by a stop-watch, Chi
cago time. A thoroughly good dentist
should be man with nerves like chilled
steel, and heart like live-oak. Some of
the dentists with whom we are on speak
ing terms are oily fellows, with hands
soft as dudes Uranium, and seductive
voice like that of drug clerk. He
will meet you at the door wrapped in a
winning smile and spotted dressing
gown, and talk as soothingly as could
speculator in mining stocks, and he
viii inveigle you into the high-backed
inquisitorial chair, and lie to you about
the pain, and root around your sore and
throbbing gums with his thumb-nail,
and all the time smiling like an OK
eyed violet, The next thing you know
trouble will commence. He will slip
on a pair of highly-poiished forceps;
there will be an uncomfortable desire on
your part to open wide your mouth and
howl. A short, decisive jerk, your
poor head will fall back on the chair,
and your mouth will be full of freshly
distilled blood; your eyes will be brim-
ming with tears, and q miscellaneous
variety of cuss words will be struggling
for utterance in your larnyx.
But 1t is the old-fashioned dentist, the
country doctor of the crossroads, who
used to grin like cannibal whenever
he saw victim approach his oilice-he
is the one who used to fill the apple Of
our youthful eye. He was terror.
He who has never been put through the
agonizing evolutions of tooth-pulling
drill in the back room of his office,
does not know what fun is. He has
missed several great opportunities.
This rural tooth-carpenter used to per-
petra.e his ticndish work in one time
and two motions. If the patient could
not keep his head steady, the dentist
would lay his head on the floor and
hold it down with his knee. And II the
man got alive to his family, who had
parted from him with sorrowful appre-
tensions, the members would meet him
with congratulations, and fried chicken
and biscuits that he was unable to eat.
This ancient gladiatorial dentist was
as rcmorseless in his operations as
lynching mob. He had no sympathy
at all for patient. To him a tooth
ache was Il sardonic joke. And when
he threw man on the floor, put his
knee on his chest and the turkeys on
the wrong tooth and Strengthened him
self, it did seem as though the last end
OF that man had como, and was great
deal worse than the tirst.-1eraS Sift-

Advertising Patent Shirt Bosom.

Sauntering over into Broadway
came across man coolly and deliber-
ately undressing himself. He looked
respectable, was fashionably dressed,
and bore no indication of inebricty or
insanity. He took off his coat and
hung it carefully on railing. Then
he did the same with his vest His
cravat and collar were next slowly re-
moved. A crowd had by this time
gathered. His strange movements were
watched in amazement. He slipped
the suspenders from his shoulders, and
at that rather advanced stage of the
proceedings came to stop. .'You will
observe, gentlemen" said he, in loud,
oratorical voice, THAT my shirt is q re-
markable one. Its bosom is detachable.
Not that it is for deceptive purposes, to
enable a man to appear to wear clean
shirt when, for a fact, he has on asoiled
one, though there's no law against it,
but it is the greatest hot-weather COM
fort ever invented. See here! The
bosom is attached only at top and bot
tom, leaving the sides free; and you all
know that by removing the pressure of
the shirt on the chest" and so on, to
the end of a long and rhapsodical ex-
PLANTATION of the device.
Having thoroughly advertised the new
shirt to that assemblage, he dressed
himself and passed on.
"Rather an embarrassing sort of
calling" remarked to him, as he
gave a finishing touch to his readjusted
cravat.
80, its like any public profession, :"
he replied, with manifest condescen-
sion. Zone feels some diflidcnce--a
kind Of stage fright-until assured of
ones ability to get through with it, but
confidence and skill beget each other.

Evidently he was not to be pitied.--

square n jewel of chased work, be-
sprent with pearls and red and blue

Lady Kilsyth (widow of Viscount Dun
dee, the celebrated Claverhouse, and
wife of the last Viscount Kiisyth), and
her infant son were exhumed and found
in the most extraordinary state of pres
servation. They met their death in
17l7 in Flanders by the falling in of tho
roof of house in which they and q
number Of other Scottish exiles were as
scmblcd. Their bodies were embalmed
and sent over to Scotland, where they
were buried with great pomp at Xii
syth, in the family vault. The minis
ter of Kilsyth thus describes their ap-
pearancc in 1896: "Tke body Of Lady
Kilsyth was quite entire; every feature
and every limb was as full as Che day
she was lodged in the tomb. The
features, nay, the very expression Of
her countenance, were marked and dis
tinct. The body of her son lay at her
knee. His features were as composed
as if he were asleep; his color was as
fresh and his flesh as plump and full as
in the perfect glow of health. Perhaps
the most singular phenomenon was
that the bodies seemed not to have I'M
dergone the smallest decomposition,
and they retained their elasticity even
after being exposed TO the open air for
many months. Several medical gen
tlemen examined them, and an incison
was made into the arm of the infant.
The bodies seem to have been pre-
served in liquid of the appearance Of
brandy, and the head inclined on q pill
low containing strong-scented herbs.
Balm, sage and mint were easily dis.
tinguished. Notes and Queries.

There died in the hospital OF. the
Alms-house this evening woman who
was known on the register as Emma
Thompson, but whose career quarter
of century ago under the name Of
Emma Jacobs had \ national notoriety.
She was born in Lancaster County over
seventy years ago. Her life in Phlla-
delphia began at an early age, and it
was in this city that she started her re-
markable career. Hcrpowers of fasci-
nation were marvellous, and some of the
most prominent men in the country
We'd with each other to win her smile
and favor.
The amounts of money she received
from these men aggregated thousands
and thousands of dollars. Her beauty
is said by those who remember her in
her best days to have been of a type
that compelled admiration from all who
saw her, and Daniel Webster said of
her: "She has the most perfect car
riage of any woman have ever seen"
She held court for gentlemen of leisure
as well as lawyers and men of letters,
her house being the resort, at times, for
some of the brightest intellects of the
country.
While Congress was IN session it was
her custom to go to Washington, and it
was there that some of her most re-
markable conquests occurred. She is
said to have completely fascinated at
least one President of the United States,
and nearly all the leading men in
Washington from 1850 to 1860 made
her rooms rendezvous. So great was
her influence over the members of Con-
gress that her value as Lobbyist was
known to corporations and individuals,
end many important bills were passed
through her instrumentality.
Probably the only man who ever won
her affection was a preacher named
Thompson, y Virginian, whom she
married. Thompson afterward lost his
reason and was placed in the insane
ward of the almshouse, where he died
three years ago. Previous TO this event
Mrs. Thompson's charms began to fade
and she had disappeared from public
notice. Her old-time shrewdness seemed
to disappear, and in few months
she lost nearly all she had spent her
life in acquiring. Her properties on
Cherry street were gradually encum-
bered with mortgages, and finally, los
ing them, became absolutely in want.
During Thompson's incarceration in
the mad-house his wife visited him near.
ly every visiting day, constantly sup
plying him with an abundance of deli
cacics. Her face was well known to
the officials of the institution, and'she
was supposed to be worth considerable
money
On the 2Sth day of November, 1881,
she presented herself at the gateway Of
the institution, with the remark that
she had come to stay. The gate-kceper
was surprised, and refused to believe
her statement. ut is true" she said,
and pulling out a card of admission
signed by Guardian Chambers, she
handed it to the man and burst into
tears. She kept enough money TO pay
for funeral expenses. Philadelphia

has one lonely street exactly seven miles
long. Its principal point Of interest is
Guadaloupe Cathedral, which is over
three hundred years old, and has had no
repairs for at least two hundred years.
1t has no pews. There is only piece
of carpet spread in front Of the altar, and
on this the worshipers kneel one at g
time. Generations have come and gone,
and nothing has been done to improve
this ancient town until now, when they
have begun the restoration Of the Grand

A Feature OF Hotel Life,

Gossiping about tho large hotels of
New York and the costly habits which
they stimulate, the "Lounger' of the
Tribune touches upon a hidden feature
of hotel life thus: "Many guest is in
debt and cannot get away from his ho-
tel. Many a woman, apparently indie
pendent and fortunate, is wondering,
while she smiles with visitors, how she
shall get her trunks away from the es
Establishment, and what person in tn
house she shall strike for loan, and at
what sacrifice. People often look into
the tenement house and think that the
people must be very miserable there,
but | wonder if they are not happier
homes than some of these large hotels,
where every week comes the reprimand
that 5000 or more is due and the rules
of the house are imperative"
