A terrible tragedy occurred in Washington
on Tuesday night last. Frederick De Frou-
vile, formerly in the signal service, but dis
charged for drunkenness, went TO the house
Of bis wife, from whom he has been sepa-
rated, and demanded admittance. She re-
fused to open the door, whereupon he pro-
ceeded TO break II down. The only person
in the house besides the woman was man,
who, II is stated, is the cause Of her leaving
De Frouville She sent him for a policeman,
and then went into the parlor. Whether
any words passed is not known, but two
pistol reports were heard. When the neigh
bors entered the room both De Frouvllle and
his wife were dead, each with pistol hole
in the temple. He had murdered her, and
then killed himself The tragedy occurred
at $40 A street southeast. De Frouyillc in
tiniated his deadly purpose to friend early
in the evening. Mrs. DE Frouville was a
translator in the Agricultural Department

A Solution.-Our correspondent, "Po-
tomac," last week propounded the following
mathematical problem:
"Wil some OF your mathematicians di-
vide 100000 between three people as fol-
lows: To one third, another fourth, and
the other fifth, and leave no remainder"
The following solution has been received
from gentlemen of Gaithersburg:
One-third of 100000 is $4,000; one fourth
is $4,000, and one-hfth is $4,000, which
taken together make $4,000. They must
then be reduced in proportion as $4,000 is to
10000. .FF 8J

SUNDAY BAsY CHAIR.
The Vanished Choir.

Once more after years, in the quaint old church,
TO the choir bent my ear,
But vainly through it made listening search
For the voices once held SO dear.
No lack Of melodi0us art was there,
Still grand were the chords al praise,
Yet missed with pang the familiar ali
Oh the choir of my boyhoo days.
The sweet, pure food OF sisters voice,
OF my brothers fuli-toned and clear.
And OF yet dearer, whose accents choice
Made my pulses stir TO hear;
And Of friend and neighbor, each quite distinct,
In the Symphony-whers were th0yS
Gone, vanished and nuie-a chain dislinked-
A chord that had died away.
I mourne5 their loss and then vague and dim
Grew the notes of the later choir;
And there seemed to swell on the air a hymn
Rich and strong with the old-time Ere,
With thrill ecStatic recognized
Each tone in remembrance kept
While that dear voice. than Of all more priced
Ny innermost heart-stringS swept.
So real it was that turned my head
To the singers, as IL to see
The prayerful eyes of my beautiful dead
Looking down, as Of old on me;
When the spell was d'sselved-I recalled no face,
No glance, the pew choir among,
And the dream hymn, fading, gave gradual place
To the psalm that was being sung.
Sad and sedate through the Gothic door
passed with the goodly throng,
AR1 the quaint little ehurcn was hushed oace more
SO h. rest for whole week long;
Butfor days and days, In reeesSe5 gray
OF memory, long locked fast,
A phantom choir held sovereign sway
With the anthems Of the past

HEALTH HINTS.

A teaspoonful Of the white of an egg
well beaten and mixed with lemon and
sugar taken occasionally will relieve
hoarseness.
Says DR.. Foote's Health Monthly:
A Maryland medical journal has re-
lated a case of fatal tetanus, or lock-
jaw, following vaccination in a strong
man Of forty years.
To prevent the hair from falling out
apply once a week a wash made of one
quart Of boiling water. one ounce Of
pulverized boraX, and half an ounce of
powdered camphor. Rub on with
sponge or piece of flannel.
If stung or bitten by an insect,
snake or animal, apply spirits of harts-
horn very freely with soft rag, be-
cause it is one of the strongest alkalies,
and is familiar to most persons. The
substance which causes the so-called
poison from bites or stings is, as far as
is ascertained, generally acid. Hence
the hartshorn antagonizes it in proper
tion to the promptitude with which it
is applied. If no hartshorn is at
hand, pour a cup of hot water on II
cup of cooking soda or saleratus,
or even the ashes of wood
just from the stove or fireplace, be-
cause all these are strong alkalies, and
hartshorn is only best because it is the
strongest.

BrPad.

Bread, properly so called, was trans
mitted by the Greeks to the Romans;
and either the latter or the Phenicians
may have introduced the cultivation
of corn into Gaul. While, however,
the land was covered by immense
forests, long time must have elapsed
before the practice of eating acorns,
chestnuts and beech mast was aband-
oned, and even when corn was regu-
larry grown, ripened and harvested,
the grains were merely plucked from
the ear and eaten raw or slightly
parched. The next step was to infuse
the grain in hot water for the making
of species of cruel or porridge, and
long time afterward it may have oc-
Cured to some bright genius to pound
the corn in mortar or rub it to a
powder between two stones. Subse-
quently came the hand-mill; but it was
not until after the first crusade that
the windmill was introduced from the
East, whittier it had probably found
its way from China. The first bread
was evidently baked on the ashes and
unleavened, and the intolerable pangs
of indigestion brought on by a con-
tinual course of "galette" or "damper"
may have suggested the use of a fer
menting agent, which, in the first in
stance, was, probably, stale bread
turned sour. Pliny has distinctly told
us, in his Natural History" that the
Gapls leavened their bread with yeast
made from lye of beer, yet, strangely
enough, they abandoned the use of beer
yeast, and did not resume it until the
middle of the seventeenth century. Its
revival in France made the fortune of
many bakers; then the medical faculty
sounded an alarm, declaring the yeast
made from beer was poisonous. Its
employment was prohibited by law in
1886, but the outcry raised by the bakers
and the public was so vehement that
in the following year the decree of pro-
hibition was Cancelled with the proviso
that the yeast was to be procured only
from beer freshly brewed in Paris or
its immediate neighborhood. Some
form of fermented bread, however, the
French had been eating for 1,600
years, in contradistinction to the Cruel
and pulse-eating Italians and Levan-
tines and the purely vegetarian Hin

Boeeher "a The HOrso.

Az the commencement exercises in
the American Veterinary college of
New York. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
delivered An address on the horse. He
said: Man u the only animal who de-
grades himself. There are no
drunkArds, no gluttms, on the earth
except among men. Animals seldom
overstep or break the laws, while men
break the laws by wholesale. The
diaeases from which animals suffer do
not come from excuses Man is at
war with himself everywhere and
always. II ever there was faithful
animal it was the horse. In the
opalsscent vision of st. John in the
Apocalypse the horse was deemed
worthy of being associated with the
gods. Loving liberty, how readily he
submits 70 bondage. He is ten times
stronger than man, and yet how sub
mHsiVe TO mans will If horse but
knew his rights and his power, no man
coul abuse or maltreat him. His self
abnegation deserved better fate. "He
is the servant of all and the slave of,all
and abused of ALL" He begins life
with one year rs colt, and when at
last he had ceased to be useful to
the peddler he has "the only privilege
of his lifS-the privilege of dying"
In war the horse is "as sensitive to
danger as the most nervous of men.
When the trumpet calls he swallows
his fear and offers his life rs readily as
a brave and patient man. Yet for
him there Is no reward, no glitterinp
medal. no honorable mention in the
Gazette, and no pension" The draft
horse was more to be admired than
the racer. He was the family friend.
Whst debt was due him which was
never repaid 1.-The physician uses
him from door to door, and collects his
inevitable and inexorable fee, but the
horse never gets nothing but the priv
ilSge of going again, and often without
even an oat silver 1t ought to give
= man pleasure to be called to minis
ter to the sufferings of this most hu-
man and most abused of all animals. 4"
Then there was the COW, "not the one
that pastures at the pump, nor the dis
tilery cow that the devil fosters, but
the COW that lies under the shadowy
trees in summer and looks as sleepy as
an August clergyman" She was the
best physician for children. "This is
an age Of humanity" he said, in con-
cfusion. Men are sensitive to sufferl
ing as they never were before. Crue-
laws are passing away, and oven
cruelty in slaughtering animals is dis
0ountenanced. Do not let any man
look down on you because he minis
ters to mankind while you minister to
suffering brutes. Let your names be
remembered for your fidelity, your hui
manity and your science"

Eating FiftY.Three Eggs.

"Talk about eating sixty quail in
thirty days; that is nothing. l can eat
two quail day the rest of my life If
anybody will find EN-; but I'd little
rather try it on yellow-leg snipe," said
Mr.. Charles f. Murphy, the fishing
rod maker, of Newark. "If Dolph
Jakes was alive he could eat bevy
every day. He was the fearfullest
gormandiZer ever saw. Did ever
tell you how he beat me out of
$2.65?"
"No, Murphy; how was itP" said
the listener.
Why, was settin' in the Astor
lunch one night and in came Dolph.
He walked up to the bar and took a
drink. There was big dish Of hard
boiled eggs at one end of the bar, and
he began going for the hen fruit. He
picked up an egg, cracked it On the
bar, picked the shell off and ate it.
But he didn't stop; he ate another and
another until he had swallowed five. 1
was watching him, and it made me
real mad to see him so greedy. So 1
said: Dolph, you had better eat 'em
all, hadn't you?'
$50 will, Charles, if you'll pay
for 'em, said he.
"Go right along l said; IN pay
/ if you finish the DISH
"He never stopped until he had
eaten twenty-five more. He then took
a drink, ate an oyster stew, a plate of
crackers, and finished the dish of eggs
There were twenty-three more. Fifty
three eggs was what he ate, and they
had the cheek to charge me five cents
apiece for 'em-just $2.65 was out.
