Tight Trousers.

"Here, conductor, this mans faint
ed"
The words were uttered in tone of
excitement by stout woman about 40
years of age recently in a Columbia
avenue car, and as she spoke slim
youth who was seated beside her in a
corner of the car fell forward and drop
ped In heap upon the straw.
With the assistance of a gentleman
the conductor lifted the senseless youth
on to the seat, and two minutes later,
as the car passed drug store, pulled
the bell-strap, and, followed by half
dozen interested passengers, five of
whom were women, carried him into
the store, where he was placed on q
lounge in the back room.
A doctor was hurriedly summoned,
and after disappearance of about ten
minutes the young man and physician
came out of the room, which had been
kept closed, arm-in-arm. The young
man s face was still pale, and he walk
ed with very perceptible tremor.
After few moments rest the young
man got on another car and went away,
and the doctor said: This is the
fourth case this month | have seen of
the deadly effect of wearing tight
trousers, and had not that young man
been attended to promptly he might
have been in great danger"
Tight trousersP" queried bystand-
er, increduously.
Eyes, sir; tight trousers! Why you
cannot imagine how often we doctors
have to treat cases of illness brought
on by no other cause. Take that young
man, for instance; his trousers were at
least four sizes too small for him; not
too short of course, Int too tight, and
for hours and hours ne had been walk
ing about with pressure of at least
275 pounds to the square inch on his
0Ierii UiUiSectOrt arteries, which are sit
uated in the calves of the human leg.
This tremendous pressure forces the
blood into channels not able to carry
it without undue straining, and al
though the victim feels no pain ne is
liable at any moment to topple over in
a swoon, and unless relief is promptly
given long and serious illness is like
ly to follow. 1t is u similar trouble to
that experienced when it was the fash
ion for the ladies to wear very tight
sleeves, except that in the case of tight
trousers the material is heavier, the ar
teries are larger, and the result apt to
be more dangerous and difficult to re-
lieVe. "-Phttadelphid Record.

The Arab Beauty.

AMEND, the daughter of the chief of
the Arabian revolt, is the great beauty
of the Arab tribes. She appears to be
distinguished above all her rivals, not
only for her loneliness, but for accom-
plishments likewise, being poetess of
no mean order, and for her courage in
the field, where she takes her place by
her fathers side on her Arab courser,
as fleet and powerful as his own. The
picture is worthy of Horace Vernet,
the Frenchmen say who have pursued
the flying host under Bon Amena's
command-the chief with his white
burnous flying behind him and the red
and purple tassels of his horse-gear
dancing in the wind, while the dark
blue and white-striped veil of the girl,
with its gold border. flashes in the sun
as it floats out beyond the long, stream
ing tail of her fiery steed.

The History of q Scar.

Sitting on the yeranda of a little
white house on the northeast corner
of the town square may be seen almost
any dav wrinkled old white lady.
This lady has an eyentful history.
Across her forehead there is scar,
which she vainly tries to hide by let
ting her white hair fall carelessly over
ii. This scar she received in one of
the bloodiest faction fights of this sec
ton during the days immediately fol-
lowing the surrender She was the
mother of three sons and one daughter.
Of the sons, one joined the Confeder-
ate bushwhackers, another being
Union man joined what was known as
the hogbacks. and the third remained
at home and devoted himself 10 the
care of his mother and his crippled
father, with varying fortune. This
town was first in the hands of one party
and then of the other, being alternately
plundered with equal fidelity by each.
The lady to whom this narrative re-,
lates, having q son in each party, be-
came herself, unjustly. an object of
suspicion to all the neighbors. and for
her there was no peace. When the
war ended these bandits were not pre-
pared to lay down their arms. The
son who had served with the hogbaeks
endeavored to pay his mother stealthy
visit by night, but was shot dead as he
placed his foot upon the threshold,
and when his mother opened the door
it was only to see the dead body drop
in the room. A few weeks later the
cries of a woman in house near bv
Cd fnr ha1 This II
ed by the son who had stayed at home
As he entered the house the woman's
assailant turned upon him and stabbed
him to the heart. For this the muir
derer was put in jail, but by the aid of
some of his faction friends, was rescued
and went to Kentucky, where be is
now one of the best known stock men
of that State.
The old lady now had her invalid
husband. her Confederate son and her
daughter left. A party of hogbacks,
hearing of the sons arrival al home,
attacked the house one night, and, en-
tering it, made q prisoner of the young
man. His father and mother clung to
him and pleaded TO keep him, when q
murderous blow from keen knife
swept across the mothers head, send
inc her to the floor senseless. When
she came to an hour later the party
was gone and her husbands dead body
was by her side. Next day the body of
her son was found outside of town, mu-
tilated beyond recognition. 1t required
the presence of a company of Federal
troops to quell the disorders of the day.
The old lady recovered. but with a scar
in her forehead, to the history of which
she always recurs when forming new
acquaintance. -MorgantoOn (Ga.) Cor.

Strange Attitudes in Death.

Prof. G. E. Brown-Sequard writes
that at the battle of Williamsburg y
United States zouaye was shot directly
through the forehe: as he was climb
ing over low fence, and his body was
found in the last attitude in life; one
leg half over the fence, the BODY
crouching backward. One hand, par
tally clenched and raised to the level
of the forehead, presented the palm
forward as if to ward of an approach
ing evil. A brakeman of a freight car
on the Nashville and Chattanooga rail-
road was instantaneously killed by a
shot between the eyes, fired by o que
rilla- The murdered man was screw
ing down the brakes at the moment of
the shot. After death the body re-
manned fixed, the arms rigidly ex-
tended Oh the wheel of the brake. The
pipe which he had been smoking re-
manned ciasped between mis- teeth.
The conservation of the last attitude
can take place in other circumstances
than sudden death from wounds to the
brain, the heart or the lungs, although
an injury to vital organ is the most
frequent cause of that phenomenon.
A detail of United States soldiers
foraging near Goldsboro, n. c., came
suddenly upon party of southern
cavalry dismounted The latter i'm
mediately sprang to their saddles and,
after a volley had been fired at them,
they all but one rode away. That one
was left standing with one foot in the
stirrup; one hand, the left, grasping
the bride rein and name of his horse,
the right hand clenching the barrel of
his carbine near the muZzle, the butt
of the carbine resting on the ground.
The mans head was turned over his
right shoulder, apparently watching
the approach of the attacking party.
He was called upon to surrender, with
out response, and upon near APP
proach and examination he was found
to be rigid in death, in the singular at
titude above described. Great diff
Guilty was experienced in forcing the
name of the horse from his left hand
and the carbine from his right.
On the battlefield of Beaumont, near
Sedan, in 1870. the dead body of 2 sol
der was found half sitting, half lying
on the ground, delicately holding a tin
goblet between his thumb and fore
finger, and directing it towards an alb
sent mouth. While in that position
the poor man had been killed by q
cannon ball which had carried away
the whole of his head and face except
the lower jaw. The body and arms
had been suddenly seized at the time
of death with stiffness which pro-
duced the persistence of the state in
which they were when the head was
cut off. Twenty-four hours had elapsed
since the battle.
