From the London Truth.
Moujlks are curious when drunk They hardly
ever quarrel, but become affectlonate and en-
brace each other. Their idea Of drinking is to
imbibe until they are quite insensible. When 1
was in Russia had q coachman, who once
month used to come and ask me for leave to get
drunk during two consecutive days. Upon in
quiry l found that only on these conditions
would a coachman remain sober during the rest
OF the month. Having obtained leave. he would
go to drinking house. show the proprietor his
money, and state how long he might remain
there. Then he would sit down at table with
some spirits before him. Gradually and sol
EMMY he would get drunk, place his arms be-
fore him on the table and recline on them. Thus
he would remain two days and nights, the pro-
prletor supplying him with more liquor when
ever he looked up. His time up the proprietor
would drag him outside the house and set him
up In the snow against the wall. having first
filled his cap with snow. Every charitably dis
posed brother coachman passing by would box
his ears. In about half an hour this discipline
would sober him; he would get up, shake HIM
self together and resume his duties One mans
poison is another mans meat. and so suppose
that he enjoyed himself

An Underground summer rhea.er.

An Underground Summer Theaser.
Cincinnati Letter In the Courier Journal.
The latest thing yet out In money-making by
new and original methods is one happened up-
on accidentally to-day. In conversing with a
wealthy business man Of this city he said that
some ten or dozen New York and Cincinnati
capitalists with unlimited means were organ,z-
Ing to lease the Mammoth Cave for twenty
years, with hotel facilities and so forth. and to
erect new buildings and further to make an en-
tirely new departure and give series of theat-
rical entertainments In the cave. asked how
1t could be done. easy enough. he answered.
Eve been down there and studied the thing
up, and 1t will be the smoothest thing YOU ever
saw to construct, In one of the large apartments
OF the cave, complete theater, with capacity
Tor as many people as we want. It can be done
cheapy, too, for all we want Is inside finish, and.
with electric lights, the work can easily be put
up. We propose to spend $25 900 in nttinn nm
the theater, and 1t will be lighted with gas and
electricity, as any other theater Is lighted. We
VIII nave 1t as near the entrance Of the cave as
possible, and the way leading to it will be
widened and lighted, 80 that there will be no
difficulty of access.
You know" he went on enthusiastically,
.'that the temperature Of the cave is never above
81 degrees and that the air is ALWAYS delight
fully still and dry, and both audiences and piay-
ers, In the hottest part Of July and August, can
be as comfortable as in the coolest city theater
More so, In fact. for there will be no sudden
changes OF temperature, no close rooms and
no draughts. Then there is the wonderful quiet
of the cave, and the novelty Of the thing to
draw. We can get the best talent IN the coun-
try for short seasons, for we expect to have an
elegant hotel and all the amusements incidental
TO hrst-class summer resort. The cave as it is
Is most attractive place, and when we have
improved 1t by lighting it all through with cleo
tricity and make all the outside additions for
pleasure-giving, we expect to have the leading
attraction of the country. We will build q

point on the Louisville and Nashville to the cave

Killed by nm Imaginary Cobra.

From the Medical Times.
Surgeon-General Francis, OF the Indian medi.
cal service, reports the following case: A drum
mer was suddenly aroused from his sleep by
something creeping over one of his naked legs,
He Immediately jumped to the conclusion that
1t was cobra, and his friends, collected BY his
outcry, not unnaturally thought so too, and he
was treated accordingly. Incantations such as
sions, were resorted to, and the poor fellow was
fagellated with twisted cloths on the arms and
legs in view partly to rouse him, but principally
to drive out the evil influence (sprit?) that for
the time being had got hold Of him. with the
frst light of dawn the cause of the fright was
discovered In the shape of q harmless lizard
which was lying crushed and half killed by the
side OF the poor drummer But it was too late
From the moment when he believed that poi
sonOus snake had bitten him he passed into an
increasing collapse until he died The drum
mer was not strong lad, and the shock was too
much for him.

HEAT NORTH AND SOUTH.


From the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal, June 49,
There Is no popular mistake more prevalent
than that about the relative summer heat OF
north and south. In the north the summer heat
mas harsh, subduing. smOthering power rarely
felt in the south. When the sun is shining
among clouds whose silvery and cleaning mar
gins reflect his rays to the earth, the close OBJ
server has noticed that the heat so reflected has
something of the quality Of that Of an over
heated stove; it bites and burns and at the
same time has an oppressiveness that brings a
feeling OF languid fantness, while suffocating
sense OF want OF air is oppressive to the last de-
gree This oppressiveness, this sinking and
prosfration, are common in the heat of the north
especially on the seething, breathless nights We
remember once, when we had sought northern
GOODNESS in the city of Montreal, on going out
Ior waik-not In the lower city, but near the
Esplanade-the heat was SO overpOwerng and
Frustrating that. with our companion, we were
compelled to return to the shelter of our hotel.
we have already this season read in the New
York papers OF persons leaving their beds at
night On account Of the heat and seeking
refuge, and sleepitselr, on the sidewalks of the
street. The day is q painful endurance of
burning sun rays, the night brings-on these
Vls1tations-nO breeze, no watt of cooling air.
ana the tired sufferer. worn out with the
swelterlng and broiling OF the day. losses and
rolls, weary and gasping until the approach of
dawn brings some alienation and allows q brief
hour or two Of sleep. Already New York has
had days with % degrees in the shade, with no
breath OF all, but plentiful supply OF sunstrokes
Here Is another peculiarity-sun strokes are COM
mon In the north during the summer to de-
gree not seen in the South. Last Sundays vic
tins of coup dc soleI In New York amounted to

hear the remark: .'H we suffer 30 much here.
what must they endure who live in the South?d
But In the South such breathless bake-oyen
nights and painting, scorching days. are rare.
New York and Philadelphia have both suffered
desperately thus far from heat and sun-stroke.
but in Memphis little complaint has been heard.
1t IS especially noticeable that the height of the
thermometer has little to do with these periods;
lOO' with breeze can be borne with little dis
comfort; $50 with ''muggy' atmosphere and
no air moving Is unbearable We believe there
is more suffering even to Manitoba, with its
mosquitoes, from violent summer heat than in
the south. With us the exhausting effects OF
the summer heat comes not so much from its
Violence as from Its endurance. 1t begins early
ana continues late. and we have not the cool in
teryals the North has, and this persistent but
comparatively moderate heat, in its effects. is
what drives us to the mountain top and the sea-
shore, where we can breathe wholesome
draushts of heaithful, oXygenated air.

MIR. NORMAN HUNT. Of No. 169 Chestnut st.,
Springfield. Mass. writes April 10. 1883. saying:
Having the affection caused by kidney and liver
diseases. and after enduring the aches palms, weak
ness and depression incident thereto until body and
soul were nearly distracted sought for relief and
cure from my trouble. and told by a friend who
had been cured by it himself that the best and only
sure cure was Hunts Remedy. and upon his re-
commentator commenced taking It. and the first
few doses improved my condition in a very marked
manner, and continuance Of its use has justified all
that my friends claimed for i-that It was sure and
permanent cure for all diseases of the kidneys and
liver. Several Of my friends in Springfield have used
it with the most gratifying results and feel II nv
duty as well pleasure to me to recommend Hunts
Remedy in the highest possible terms"
