The Jurrnen and the Cofln.

The Birmingham eng. Daily Mall
reports a tragic-comic scene which oc-
CURED at the holding of an inquest upon
the body of an inmate of the borough
jail who had died from smallpox. 1t
may not be generally known that cor
oner is bound to hold an inquest on the
body of any prisoner who may die in one
OF her Majesty's prisons, no matter how
evident the real cause of death may be.
Tho statute is of course a very necessary
one. but yesterday it entailed on the
jurymen who had been subpenaed ths
not very desirable duty of viewing the
body. The Deputy Coroner (Mr.
Weekes), had, from motives which re-
quire no explanation, kept the fact from
his jurymen till he had got them COM
fortably and securely within the court,
and then he unfolded it to them. The
bare statement that they were to hold
an inquest on a smallpox case was
enough; four or five of them required
no further particulars to make up their
minds that they would not view the
body. No, they would not for all the
coroners in the kingdom; they did not
care what precautions had been taken.
Persuasion having failed to convince
these obstinate few, Mr.. Weekes was
compelled to read to them, in
very sepulchral and solemn tone,
the penalties which the law pre-
scribed for such cases. Discomfort
was not, however, stifed, as was evil
denced by the lowering brows and low
mutterings of the fourteen good men
and true who had been empaneled, and
the Coroner told them he would allow
them to smoke, drink, or take any other
means they chose of avoiding the infec-
ton. This seemed to soothe them, and
Sergeant Gosling marched his little
army down stairs to their long funeral
vehicle, with the supposition that they
had all been thoroughly broken in. Go
ing down stairs, however, one thirsty
soul suggested that they would have the
drinks then; and another, a lover of the
noxious weed, no doubt, took up the
hint and talked about cigars. When
they got into the street they rushed pell
NELL for tobacco and liquor. One poor
teetotaler and non-smoker was in sad
way. What was he to dop Brandy
and soda" said one facetious colleague;
'Black Jack" said another. On me-
dicinal grounds, this abstemious individ-
ual at length brought himself to imbibe
glass of very weak whisky and water,
but he could not brace himself up to the
TASK OF smoking even P1ckwlcK; ne
dreaded sickness. 1t was quite quar-
ter of an hour before all these dutiful
citizens had provided themselves suffi-
ciently with liquor and ballasted them
selves with an equivalent stock of smok-
ing material to face the perils before
them, and the worst smoking carriage
on any railway in the kingdom would
have paled its Intellectual fires before the
furnaces which glowed and pulled in the
'4Coroner's van" And after all it was
found that, as Mr.. Weekes had told
them, there was nothing tofear. All the
jury had to do was to keep respectful
distance from an air-tight coffin in the
yard, with piece of glass at the end OF
the lid to disclose the face of the corpse.

The Rre Straw Car wheel.

The paper wheel may be larger than
the ordinary iron wheel or it may be the
same size. Its perpendicular surface.
however, is always studded with bolt
heads. Its surface is never corrugated
nor. irregular like that of the iron wheel.
The paper of paper car wheel is moth
ing more nor less than ordinary brown
straw board. That made wholly of rye
straw is preferable. The boards are cut
into discs. and holes in the center are
punched large enough to fit the iron
axle shoulder that constitutes the hub of
the wheel. Thus shaped, the straw
boards are placed one upon another with
ordinary flour paste, till a pile of them
about five'inches high is attained. They
are put under an hydraulic press and
squeezed together as tightly as it is prac-
ticable to compress matter of the con-
sistency of straw board. The pressure
is so great as to generate many degrees
of heat in the compressed board After
being thoroughly dried, the paper wheel
is turned on a lathe to tit the heavy steel
tire and shell into which it is inserted
to form the core of the wheel. 1t is
held firmly in its place by an iron plate.
the size of the inner surface of the wheel,
and by bolts. In short, the paper of a
paper car wheel is simply a core or fill
ing in a shell of steel, the outer rim or
tire that runs on the track being nearly
two inches thick. The virtue of the
paper consists in the fact that it gives
elasticity to the wheel. The durability
of paper wheel, on account of this
elasticity, is computed to be many
thousand of miles greater than that Of
the ordinary. iron wheel.-N Y. Evers-

A Very selr.willed Horse.

There is an old nursery rhyme which
teaches that kindness and patience are
the best methods to pursue in the case
of q donkey that wouldn't CO. An
English gentleman relates that he had a
horse that wouldn't CO." but when he
came to try the patience remedy he
found that the horse had a larger sup
ply of that virtue than he himself pos
sessed, which, as will presently be seen,
was considerable.
The English gentleman's horse was a
confirmed .'balker" One Saturday af-
ternoon, when he was returning home
in his dog-cart, the horse baked, as it
had often done before. and its master
thought that this time he would try
what calmness and patience would
do. Accordingly he sat still in the
dog-cart, and addressed the animal in
soothing tones and kindly words; but
to no purpose. 1t was exactly ten min
utes past four on Saturday afternoon
when the horse stopped in the middle
of the road.
The afternoon wore away, the sun
sank below the horizon, darkness set
tied down over the landscape, and yet
the man and horse remained to fight
out the battle between obstinacy and
patience. Through the long night they
staid there, the whip remaining Quietly
in the socket, and when the sun arose
after his voyage around the world he
found the contest still going on.
At six o'clock in the morning the
owner bade his groom fetch cart-rope
and tie it to the horses fore-leg; hut
when the groom did so, and pulled with
all his might, the only result was that
the horse stood with his fore-leg stuck
out as il it were a bronze statue. At
seven o'clock the horse became perfect
ly furious, seizing the shaft with his
teeth, and shaking it, kicking and
stamping with rage the while. AT half.
past seven the groom tried to tempt
him with q measure of oats, but the
angry beast would have none of it, not
withstanding that 1t was twenty hour;
since he had had q mouthful of food o,
q drop of water.
Then his master had to confess him.
self beaten in the trial of patience, an6
having procured some tough shoots oi
ground-ash. he applied them to Mr.
Horses back so vigorously that thai
selfwilled quadruped was obliged to con
fess himself beaten so far as his hide
was concerned. 1t was then twenty
minutes before eight on Sunday morn
ing, the contest having lasted fifteen
hours aud halt, during which the
horse did not bulge an inch. nor hi.
owner stir from his seat in the carriage
This is probably the most remarkably,
exhibition of obstinacy on the one sid,
and of patience on the other that wa,

is exactly true.-Hdrper's Young Peo

A Silent Partner.

The citizenship of not a few men, who
think themselves good citizens, would
be improved, if they should clean out
their own drains, clear up their back
yards, and sweeten their cellars. The
historian Nehemiah indicates that the
walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt by
each one repairing that portion of the
wall located ''over against his house. ="
The Chicago Drummer recalls that
ancient method of cooperation in the
following humorous sketch:
At supper one evening Mr.. Topnoody,
after praising his wife's fine biscuits
and good coffee, began to talk on munich
pal affairs, in hopes that Mrs. T
would take a hand, and she did.

here at home, and I'm glad to see the
prospect of an era of reform and clean
illness, because we need it, not only il
the streets, but everywhere else"
care you ready to do your share il

..Aye, that L am, ready and willing

nicipal patriotism.

by this that these unclaimed funds have

the surplus interest among the suitors.

she was a mere wreck, a walking skeleton.
In this terrible strait she consulted DR.. David
Kennedy, of Roudout, N. Y, who told her
at once that the injured eye must be re-

right, Doctor, but don't give me chloroform.
Let my husband sit by my. side during the
operation, and l will neither cry out or stir"
The work was done, and the poor woman
kept her word. Talk of soldierly couragel

A Tiger Story.

The Ootacamund correspondent of
the Madras Mail tells the following
story: "A grand tiger was killed by Mr..
Scott, of this place, near the village of
Mungalum. in the Mysore District,
under rather peculiar circumstances.
Mr.. Scott, armed with only pea-rifle
was in quest of wild fowl, when he
heard an animal roar, and Immediately
concluded that it was an elephant, as
he knew that there was one in the vi
cinity. He accordingly sent away two
natives who were with him to fetch his
heavy guns from the tent, and proceed
ed in the direction of the roar with the
intention of keeping the supposed ele-
phant in view until such time as his
rifles came up. He was walking up the
bed of dried-up watercourse. when,
turning bend, he came right on a
large tiger which was stalking towards
him, and from which the roars had evil
IDENTIFY proceeded. Being SO lightly
armed, Mr.. Scott backed cautiously,
with view of beating a prudent re-
treat, but stripes Immediately conn.,
menced hostilities by swift advance
and savage growl. Mr.. Scott would
have declined the combat, if he could, in
consideration of the light pop-gun
which he carried, but when stripes,
showing all his teeth and growing
savagely, crouched to spring at the dis
tance of some twelve PAGES, Mr.. Scott
had no alternative but to fire. The re-
suit was that stripes dropped dead in
the act of springing, with a pea-shot
through his eye and brain. 1t speaks
well for Mr.. SCOTS nerve that he should
have used such straight powder under
such perilous circumstances. His selec-
ton of stripes eye to aim at showed
great presence of mind, as bullet from
the little pea-rifle in any part of the
body would simply have enraged the
tiger without materially injuring him,
and Mr.. Scott would have been at once
| killed"

Humming.Birds.

Z Mrs. c. NJ. Russell, of the Huntington
Memorial Home for Old Ladies, on
Washington street, has two pairs of
young hummming- birds in captivity, so
tame that a stranger can handle their
cages without disturbing them in the
least. While the cage is being handled
they fly about with buzzing noise al
ternately alighting in the ring of the
cage or upon the roost, uttering a faint
..tweet" while on the wing. Although
never seen to alight and feed in free
dom, they often perch upon the edge Of
q small cup in the cage and sip sirup of
sugar and water prepared by Mrs. Rus
sell, who also keeps bouquet of bright
flowers IN the cage.
These tiny, gorgeously plumaged
birds, not much larger than grasshop-
pers, make no attempt now to escape,
but will perch upon the head of Mrs.
Russell and take sirup from the cup
while she holds it. The bill, wings and
tail are black, the back from the neck to
the tail rich metallic green. and the
throat white with reddish spots just be-
meath the bill. Beneath, the birds are
white, the color deepening to a reddish
tint toward the wings. There is awhile
spot back of each eye, and the tail is
banded with white at the tip. They
enjoy bright sunshine, and show every
sign of contentment as they sit upon
the perch pluming their wing
feathers, cresting the feathers on
their heads and spreading their tails.
The first bird flew into Mrs. Russelrs
room some two weeks ago. She caught
it and kept it for several hours. 1t flew
about the room, and allowed itself to be

the ceiling it whitened the feathers upon
its head. She let it go toward evening.
and two days afterward it returned
again, and was identified by the mark
upon its head. She put it in a cage,
and by it captured four others, among
them a ruby-throated humming- bird,
which afterward escaped. A leading
ornithologist believes the birds in cap
tivity to be the young of the ruby
throated humming-bird.
Mrs. Russell has taste for natural
history studies, and is an enthuiastic adj
mirer of handsomely plumaged butter
flies and birds. In the cases we noticed
little nets skillfully made of cotton and
covered with lichens, which were such
good limitations of bird work that they
might deceive the birds themselves, and
we were surprised TO learn that the lady
made them herself. These birds make sew
enteen of the humming- family Mrs.
Russell has had in captivity. She sue
ceeded in keeping one for three months,
! and then fearing lest the bird might suf-
/ fer for want of proper food she chloro-
formed it and sent it to the taxidermist,
| who pronounced it the fattest humming-
bird he ever saw! Being unable to sup
ply the birds with insects she makes
beef tea by soaking raw meat in water.
and feeds it to them sparingly. The
birds seem to relish the liquor. Mrs.
Russell intends to winter pair of these
birds, if possible. 1t is rare sight to
see these little beauties living contented.
