ALWAYS LOSING JEWELS.
A Fnyoritc Mode OF Advertising Adopted
by Actors and Actresses.

An old and prominent theatrical manager,
In speaking about the remarkable number Of
diamonds that actresses and singers have
had stolen from them, said: This story is
very nearly as remarkable rs that case Of
eyes, who declared that $4,000 worth
of Atlantis jewels were stolen from him on
n Pennsylvania Railroad train.
"This is well known old game to get free
Advertising Barnum originated ito quarter
of n century ago and every now aud then
some ambitious manager revives it. When
Alice Oates played in the Field of the Cloth
of Cold, at the Chestnut Street Theatre, her
husband, Jim Oates, declared that she lost
100000 worth of diamonds from her dress
ing room. The story created sensation and
when il began to die out Oates worked il up
by Offering reward of 81, 900 for the re-
covery of tho jewels. This put the police
on their mettle aud they wanted Oates and
his wife to make affidavit that the Jewels
were stolen. Both refused and that ended
the sensation. Clara Morris vowed that
$5, 900 worth of diamonds were stolen from
her room in San Francisco hotel, but the
proprietors made such n row about it that
she had to find the vauablcs Janauschels
said that she lost $40, 600 worth of jewolry
in Pittsburg. Emily Melville hardly
ever went to country town without
reporting that something had been
stolen from her. According to her stories
she lost enough diamonds, Jewel cases, India
shawls aud blue-blooded dogs to make any
ordinary person wealthy.
"The Chapman Sisters lost q lot of jew
elry in the City Hotel of Reading, but they
did not leave tho town until it was found.
Every one remembers what glowing ar

The human brain is absolutely bigger and
heavier than that of any animal except the
elephant and the larger whales, but in no
other animal is there so great variation in
brain weights of different individuals as in
man, and it is perhaps q curious fact that
the higher the civilization the wider the
variation. That is to say, the brain weight
in savage races is more nearly uniform than
in enlightened nations. Whilo in general
way the average weight of the brain is
greater in civilized races, il does not at all
follow that the size of the brain is an iudca-
ton of the degree of intelligence. The
average weight of the admit European male
brain is forty-nine to fifty ounces. That of
the female is forty-four to forty-iive ounces,
the difference being fully ten per cent.
Statistics for America very nearly coincide
with this result. There are examples of
men of remarkable intellectual attainments
whose brains have largely exceeded the
average, as Cuvier, sixty-four and half
ounces, and DIR. Abercrombie sixty-three
ounces Daniel Webster also had very
large BRAIN That of Agassiz weighed fifty
three and half ounces, not very much
above the average. On the other hand,
high brain weights have also been found
where there was no evidence of superior
intellectual capacity. In an English insane
asylum nearly ten per cent. of the cases ex-
amined showed brain weight of over fifty
five ounces. An excessively small brain in
dicates feeble intellect, and an abnormally
large one may indicate the same Between
the extremes there is wide range, in which
II is evident that intellectual power is more
dependant on quality than quantity of brain
matter. But it is estimated by several CON-
potent authorities that in an adult male of
anything approaching average size, brain
less than thirty-seven ounces is usually
associated with imbecility In other words,
brain of less than that weight will not
confer the reasoning faculty in the civilized
Caucasian, though in uncivilized man,
rude intelligence may spring from brain Of
thirty ounces.-St. Loais Republican.

MADE cHEAPLY-PArD FOR DEARLY,

To show the enormous profits made by
gas companies the following figures have
been ascertained from a scientific gentlemen
who has for several years been interested in
gas productions
You will be surprised to learn, perhaps,
that the coal used by the larger companies
costs them nothing that is to say, their
profits are so large that they entirely wipe
out the original cost of the coal
Let me give you outside figures: Oae
ION of coal costs, say S., which leaves n lib
eral margin ON the actual figure paid for it.
Add cost of converting it into gas, 81. This
makes total outlay of 81
Now, from this ton there is given on an
average 1000 feet of gas, which at So u
per ! 900 will realize $50 %. 70 this
mount add the proceeds of caldron of
coke Casually it is caldron and halD, say
SO, which with the value of the tar-worlh
about seyenty-fye cents-brings the total
receipts from one Ton of coal up to %,2l.
Deduct from this the cost of the ton and the
labor of converting it into gas, and you have
total profit of $27 So that actually the
coal costs the gas companies merely the cost
Of conversion.
"Of course there must be an allowance
made for wear and tear but as the plant
and other apparatus have long ago been
paid for out of past profits, l have not in
cluded them in my calculation. r.

CoCKROAcHEs AS MEDICINE.

A Philadelphia medical JoaaRat has re-
ceived communication from n Louisiana
physician, asking if there is any virtue in
tea made from fat female cockroachos,
brandy, and sugar. The following formula
of preparation used by old women nurses
in the South was also furnished: Zone
dozen fat female coelsroaches, put into o
pint of boiling water (after being brused)
let stand couple of hours, then strain
well add two tablespoonfuls of brandy and
one ounce of crushed sugar; stir till
thoroughly dissolved. Two tablespoonfuls

The Professor of Materia NIedica in JEFF
ferson College said last night that he pre-
sumed that coekronches were not entirely
unknown in the medical practice in this city,
and " coclroach tea u may be used with
good effect in certain cases. although, owing
10 the pnblic prejudice against the insect, it
would not be n popular medicine. The use
of the eoekroacli as n diuretic in certain dis
cases is almost universal in Russia and is
very general now in European medical
practice as n cure for Bright's disease. To
what extent it may be used in Philadelphia
is not known. Physicians would not care to
have il known that they prescribe so detested
an insect in their practice, and few druggists
will acknowledge that they keep ii in stock.

THE ROMANCE OF A SWORD.

ing down a portion of an old residence in
st. Augustine, Fla, found sword hidden
between the rafters and the roof The
story attached to this relic is a tragic one.
It would appear that one evening while
Florida was yet in the possession of Spain a
grand ball was given, at which was gathered
tho elite of the city. One OF the ladies pres
ent was noted for her beauty and her hand
was eagerly sought after by the officers OF
the garrison for the many pleasant dances.
Owing to some misunderstanding, she be
came engaged to two Of the caballeros for
the same dance. The consequence was q
quarrel, which resulted in the cessation Of
the music through the cutting of the strings
Of the instrument. Hot words and insulting
language passed between the officers, and
the two repaired TO the open streets aud en-
gagged in duel, in which one of them fell,
The survivor, dropping his sword, fled pre-.
cip:tately from the spot.
One of the Paccetti family, boy of some
| or 8 years, witnessed the encounter, aud,
running out picked up the sword and car
ried it into the house. Not wishing to be
called upon as witnesses, the parents of the
child concealed tho sword and kept all
knowledge of the same from their neigh
bora. Thus the old blade has been in its

THE CASTLE BY THE SEA.

20, have you seen the castle
So high beside the sea,
Where clouds all red and golden
Go sailing silently9
Yes, have seen the castle,
The castle strong and high,
But mist was round about 1t,
And the moon stood in the sky.
Heard you not sweet sounds OF music
In the wind and heaving seas?
Came Lot from the yaulted windows
The sound OF reverly ?"
The winds were hushed to silence,
The sea lay calm below,
And out from the high-arched windows
Came a dlrge OF grief and woe.
"And on the throne so lofty,
Where the rich crown jewels beam,
Saw you not the kingly parents,
And the royal mantle gleams"
sand led they not In gladness
A beautiful maiden there,
Radiant as the sunlight,
Cleaning In golden hairg"
In robes OF deepest mourning,
Without the jewels fair,
saw the royal parents
The maiden was not there.
