a Boston Hypoohondriao

a good many hypochondriacs have
probably as much ground for their
fears as the Boston gentleman who was
much disturbed the other morning on
going down town to find that one Of his
legs had suddenly become shorter than
the other. The Journal thus describes
the case an the cure:
every time he took step on that
side his body experienced an unpleas-
ant shock from fall of about an eighth
of an inch, and whenever his advance
was assisted by the employment of the
other leg he felt himself rising an equal
distance into the air. His walk, there
fore, consisted of wavy undulations,
which, however, graceful and pictur-
esqne in themselves, were extremely dis
quieting under the circumstances. Thor
oughly alarmed by these singular phe-
nomena, he visited doctor, and de-
scribing his symptoms, earnestly asked
whether paralysis did not sometimes
give warning Of its approach by such
contraction of the limbs. The doctor
confessed that it did, and, while the
doomed man perspired with apprehen-
sion, instituted vigorous examination,
the result of which was to show that the
cause of complaint was an inequality in
the thickness of the soles of the boots
that we're worn by the patient. On get
ting up in the morning he had dressed
himself hurriedly and while he had
drawn thin dress boot upon one foot
he had equipped the other with COW
ering which not only had heavy
double sole. but thick felt in-sole also.
The physician then hurriedly stated that
contraction of the limbs was not an es-
sential precursor of the paralytio shock.

Ship Guns Bursting,

Within the last few months there has
been an epidemic of gun-bursting. First
Of all we had the Krupp naval gun,
which burst on board ship; then on the
18th of October, q 28-centimeter German
breech-l loading gun at Wilhelmshaven,
when, the men being all under cover, no
damage appears to have been done to
life. Pieces of it weighing two thou
sand pounds were. according to The
Madgebonrg Gazette, thrown more than
one hundred yards. A little later in Oc-
tober q 6-inch English breech-loade
burst at Shoeburyness, again luckily
without damage to life. The reason for
its failure was found to be flaw in the
inner steel tube, which could not be seen
till the burst took place. Austria, not
to be left long behindhand, followed
with the burst of breech-loading NOR.
tar at Felixdorf, on the 7th of Novem-
Der. This time, unhappily, if The Co
l0gne Gazette is accurate in its account,
a captain was killed by fragment of
the gun, and lieutenant severely
wounded. The French manage to keep
their accidents very quietly from the
public ear, but there is pretty good evil
dence that there has been at least one
failure with their ordnance. With the
exception of the two German guns, each
burst represents different method of
manufacture. What an apple of discord
for the artillerist! PAU Nall Gazette.

The Li,ae-Kiln Club.

When the Lime-Kiln Club was first
organized it lent Samuel Shin eighty
five cents in money and took chattel
mortgage on box stove valued at
$1.75. Samuel failed to return the loan,
and the stove was foreclosed on and
placed in Paradise Hall, where it has
been used for the last four years. When
examined by a special committee a
week ago they found nineteen cracks,
twenty-seven fractures, five or six seri-
Gus dislocations, and we're compelled to
admit that the safety of Paradise Hall
was seriously threatened every time a
fire was built in the stove.
As the various members put in Al APP
pearance at this meeting they were
dumbfounded at sight of an elegant new
stove in place of the old one, and their
surprise was permitted to continue till
the meeting opened. Then Brother
Gardner blankly explained:
"Dis eavenin' marks new epoch in
de history of dis organizashun. De old
has passed away an de new has stepped
on deck. We owe dis new an elegant
piece of furnichure to de unconquerable
energy of Pickles Smith. He diskivered
a family which needed five bushels of
Eaters wuss dan dis stove, an he made
a trade. Brubber Smith was behind
jist 1885 on his dues, an our Treasurer
attached de stove fur de dues. A poo
family am provided wild Eaters fur weeks
to come, Pickles Smith am squar' on his
dues and de Lime Kiln Club am sartin
of bein' warmed up fur de mex ten
vars"
On motion of Giveadam Jones vote
iof thanks was given Brother Smith, and
though it didn't seem to cheer. him
much; he had to put it in. his pocket
and appear tickled half to death.
F.. The stove will take in nail key with
out any squeezing, and within fifteen
minutes after fire is started Paradise
Hall is warm enough to enable a man
with a poker to break the ice in the
WATERFALL. BY vote of 166 to 10 it
was decided to raise the fnefo splitting
on the stove during sessions of the club
from twenty shillings to seven dollars,
and to devote the fines thus collected to
hiring some man to clean off the snow
and ice in front Of the residences of
Detroit millionaires during the winter.

whisky in Bond"

Attached to every distillery is ware
house of which the government, through
a United States storekeeper, takes ex-
elusive charge. On every door is
patent government lock-" and the
storekeeper keeps the keys. At the end
of the warehouse, nearest the distillery
proper, is partitioned off the ''cistern
room' that contains tanks, into which
the whisky runs direct from the still.
From these tanks it is drawn off into
barrels in the presence of the store
keeper and the United States Gauger.
The barrels so filed are rolled into the
other portion of the warehouse, and a
warehouse stamp" bearing the date
of the distillation, is affixed to each.
The whisky thus barreled can, under
the revenue laws, remain in this ware
house under government lock and key
for three years. Then the whisky is
said to be ''in bond" At the expira-
ton, of the three years the tax Of ninety
cents per gallon must be paid on the
original quantity of whisky in the bar
rels, as shown by the gauge when it was
barreled, less two and-a-half gallons per
barrel per annum allowed for evapora-
ton and shrinkage. Then tax-paid
stamp is put on each barrel, and
brand, with the name of the distiller,
the number of the district, and the date
of the payment of tho tax, is burned in
the head.-Cinciss'sati Commercial.

The Prnssian Officer.

The one thing that Prussian officer
gives his whole mind to, after the inn
portant matter of the tightness of the.
trousers is settled, is his mustache. No
matter whether it be black, yellow, red,
'or the neutral ashen blonde, it must re-
ceive so much care every day, and be
nursed and watched all the time. It is
carefully combed to a point, the ends
are turned up toward the eyes, and
those ends waxed tothe point Of staying
there perpetually. It gives them q
ferocious, man-eating, brigandish look,
without which they would not be Prus-
sian officers at all It is 3 miracle in
the way of pointed stiffness, and it is
that one way all the time. It isn't
pretty, but is the fashion among military
men, and they all, old and young, wear
their lip-coverings in that way.
Clad in immaculate uniform, his
boots polished to a degree that is pain
full, with his helmet glistening in, the
sun, and his sword clinking upon the
pavement as he steps off with, 1, step
that no other man ever. attained, the
Prussian officer is something that once
seen will never be forgotten. He was
as though he was really Of the. process
sion, and was actually q necessity in the
world. Nasby IN Toledo Blade.

Only 4 Little Oolored Boy.

He was just little colored boy, but

many hearts sad, says the N o., Times

of the family. He was courteous,

had the qualities that make the true

A Winter Tomb,

Canada.

SO they cannot dig grave, they place
the corpse in a rough box, wrap it about
with some white cotton, and carefully
deposit it in the branches of a tree, in

and bury it in the earth. But they do
not always do this.
There is such a tomb now but short
