A Strange Disease.

-fIh I~CCtttItyC.
Attention has lately been drawn in one
of the English medical journals to di-
sease met in Siberia, known to the Rus
SLAMS by the name of "Miryachit." The
person affected seems compelled to
initiate anything he hears or sees, and an
interesting account is given of steward
who was reduced to perfect state of
misery by his inability to avoid initiating
everything he heard or saw. One day the
captain of the steamer, running up to him,
suddenly clapping his hands at the same
time, accidently slipped and fell hard ON
the deck. Without having been touched
the steward instantly clapped his hands
and shouted; then, in helpless imitation,
he too fell as hard and almost precisely
in the Same manner and position as the
captain. This disease has been met with
in Java, where 1t is known as "Lata," In
the case of female servant who had the
same irresistible tendency to initiate, one
day at dessert her mistress, wishing to ex-
hibit this popularity, and catching the
woman's eye, suddenly reached across the
table and seizing large French plum
made pretense to swallow it whole. The
woman rushed at the dish and put a plum
in her mouth, and after severe choking and
semi-asphyxia succeeded in swallow ing 1t,
but her mistress never tried 1.-THE experi-
ment again.

The Big Steam Cranes.

The largest steam crane in Z urope Is to
be erected shortly at Hamburg. In men,
tioning this fact it is remarked by Iron
that the English havea 100-ton crane at
Woolwich; but the largest crane at pres
ent is that at Antwerp. capable of lifting
100 tons. AS, however, Krupp is build
ing up gun barrels weighing 1874 tons, tho
Antwerp Hercules would BIO powerless to
move them. There is at present steam
crane at Hamburg in operation which
lifts 40 tons only; the next in size on the
continent is that ut Bremerhaven, of u
lifting power of 60 TONS and the next
largest is located at Amsterdam, lifting
80 tons. The new Hamburg steam crane
will beat them all, it is being constructed
to lift weight of $50 tons.

OLD TIME ENGLISH GAMBLING.
Princely Losers OF Other Days
Games With u Limit Clear to the
Calling.

AperpoN Post
The operations of London clubs nova.
days are on an almost contemplate scale
compared with the gambling at Crock
ford's sixty years ago, and then, be it re.
membered, all transactions were in ready
money, except in the case of customers
of known wealth. In 1894 thore were
two clubs" in London where French
hazard was played with nightly bank of
100000, and with stakes of from 10 shil-
iings to f200. There were three gambling
houses where the ban ks were co, 900, and
the highest stakes 910O. There were
five each with bank OF f1,OOO. Alto
gether there were twenty-five houses for
French hazard and rouge ct noir, half of
which were in Pail Mall and Bennett street.
This sort of thing went on for moro
than twenty years, and then for a time
play went out Of fashion. In full season
a million of money was often turned" in
one night at Crockford's. The net profits
of tho season were f150.000, and yet the
weekly expenses averaged $1,000. The
fitting-up of tho house cost nearly $4,000.
Crockford's was ostensibly organized as a
club, and the committee elected tho NOM
bers, but anyone who had fortune to lose
could easily obtain admission. The duke
Of Wellington was an original member,
but was never known to enter the hazard
room--which. OF course, was the aim and
end of the establishment. Ude presided

The walters at Crockford's always re-
ceived Christ mas-box of f1,0Oo, which
was divided among them, aud $500 was
given to the steward. For ten years be-
fore Crockford's was started there was
very high play at Walters (the principal
babitues of which were hopelessly ruined),
at Brookes's, and also at Whites, where
the late Lord Granville was tho great
player. He is said to have boon nearly

end OF his career, although at one time
he had won 9110,000. Lord Granville
once lost $4,000 at hazard at a single
sitting of seven hours, and 600 at one

Sir James Card, in recent volume en-
titled India. the Land and the People,"
inclines to the opinion that India can
never become dangerous rival of the
United States in tho European wheat
market until her 10000 miles of railway
have been quintupled and her transporta.
ton rates reduced ono half. Nor will it
suffice to put grain into Calcutta at the
same price for which it can be purchased
in Now York city, al it must always
cost much more to ship it from India than
from here. When Sir L. Barring published
his Financial Statement for 1883 New
York had an advantage in the shipment
of grain to England of about $G.25 ton
over Kurrachee, $5.25 over Bombay, and
81 over Calcutta. And even in January,
1884, when Mr.. William Fowler prepared
tho statistics printed in tho Nineteenth
Century" the rates gave New York the
advantage of $3.50 ton over Kurrachee
and Bombay, and S5.25 over Calcutta.
