Strange Attitudes in Death.

Professor c. E. Brown-Sequard writes
that at the battle of Williamsburg a
United States Zouave was shot directly
through the forehead, as he was climb
ing over low fence, the body crouch
ing backwards. One hand, partially
clenched and raised to the level of the
forehead, presented the palm forward as
if to ward off an approaching evil. A
brakeman of freight car on the Nash
vile 81 Chattanooga railroad was instan-'
taneously killed by shot between the.
eyes, fired by guerilla. The murdered
man was screwing down the brakes at
the moment of the shot. After death
the body remained fixed, the arms rigid
ly extended on the wheels of the brake.
The pipe which he had been smoking
remained still clasped between his 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 a vital organ is the most frequent cause
of that phenomenon. A detail of United
States soldiers, foraging near Colds
boro, N. c., came suddenly upon party
of Southern cavalry dismounted. The
latter Immediately sprang to their sad
dies and, after a volley had been fired at
them, they all but one rode away. He was
left standing with one foot IN the stirrup;
one hand, the left, grasplng the bride
rein and name of his horse. the right
hand clinching 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 APP
parently watching the approach of the
attacking party. He was called upon to
surrender, without response, and upon a
near approach and examination he was
found rigid in death, in the singular at
titude above described. Great difficulty
was experienced in forcing the name of
the horse from his left hand and the
carbine from his right. On the battle
field of Beaumont, near Sedan, in 1870,
the dead body of a soldier was found
half sitting, half lying on the ground,
delicately holding tin goblet between
his thumb and fore-inger and directing
it toward an absent mouth. While In
that position the poor man had been
killed bv cannon ball, which had car
ried 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 BY a 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.

An Old Custom.

In France it used to be customary for
the bridegroom to send his bride every
morning, until the wedding-day, a nose
gay of the finest flowers of the season.
An interesting story is told respecting the
Due de Montausier and Julia de Ram
bouillet The gallant duke, after his be-
trothal to Julia, is said not to have been
contented with the mere observance of the
beautiful custom just referred to, but had
painted on vellum, by the best artists of
the day, in folio volume magniicently
bound, the finest cultivated flowers which
couldbe obtained In addition, all the
most distinguished poets then living di-
vided among themselves the task of max
ing verses upon the fiowers9 The cele
brated Corneille wrote for the orange
flower and the everlasting. On her we'd
ding day the duchesse found this treasure
on her toilet table, and great was the
value she set upon it. During the French
revolution, however, this interesting mon
ument of love and gallantry of the seven
teenth century was transported to Ham
burg, where it was put up for sale in the
year 1895.

the prices at which foods can be bought
the most economical food can be deter
mined. Nebraska Farmer.
A writer says that years experience
with broad wagon wheels is conclusive
as to their value. A four inch tire will
carry two tons over soft ground with
greater ease to the team than two and
half inch tire will carry one ton. The
wheels are not so much strained by stones
and rough tracks on the road, and the
road is not cut up, but, on the contrary,
is packed down and kept smooth. The
prevalent idea that the draught is in
creased by widening the tire is altogether
baseless; on the contrary, Wide tire
reduces the draught. The extra cost of
the tire is repaid many times over every
year in the extra work that can be done
by team.

GINGER CooKIEs.-One cup Of mo-
lasses. one cup of brown sugar, one cup
of water, one cup of lard, two table
spoons of ginger, one tablespoon of soda
dissolved in water, one teaspoon of
powdered alum, put In last; mix soft
bake quickly.
TAPIocA CREAM.-One quart of milk,
four tablespoonfuls of tapioca soaked
over night, the yolks of three eggs, SUI
gar TO suit taste. Let the milk come to
boil, first putting in the tapioca and a
pinch of salt; then stir in the beaten
yolks with sugar; beat the whites to a
stiff froth and add. Flavor with vanilla
Goldfish BALLs-Put the fish in cold
water and set it on the back of the stove
when the water gets hot pour it off and
put on cold again, and so continue until
the fish is fresh enough. Mash half
dozen large boiled potatoes and mix with
the fish, and half cup of butter. Make
into balls, dredge with -four, and fry
brown in butter
SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING PRE-
sERvEs.-Put them away in small jars
or glasses. If the latter are used, store
them in dark place. Cut out piece
OF stout paper the size of each jar. Slip
these over the fruit as soon as it has
grown cold. Having reserved little
syrup for the purpose, pour layer of it
on top of the paper, and the fruit wiz
not rise to the top, mould, and spoil.
STRAWBERRY JELLY.-Squeeze the
juice from freshly gathered berries; for
the slightest tendency to fermentation
will spoil the whole process. Then let
the juice drip, without squeezing, through
a flannel bag. To each pint of this clear
juice allow three-quarters of pound of
sugar, which must be unadulterated, if
such can possibly be procured. Put this
syrup over a briskly burning fire, and let
it boil hard just twenty minutes. Stir
as little as possible, and only at first, till
the sugar is dissolved, and then always
with a silver spoon. Do not attempt to
make more than three or four pounds of
jelly at once, and attention to every little
particular direction given is necessary to
insure success. Jellying requires more
pains than almost any other process of
cookery.

Cure for Kicking cow.

A correspondent of the Western Stock
journal gives his method of curing kick
ing cows, respectively, as follows: A year
or two since got in trade handsome
three-year-old heifer, one of the most vic
ious kickers ever saw. One of my men
who milk tried various devices without
effect, and finally took common garden
hoe, passed the end in front of the off
hind leg dhe right leg behind) and be-
hind and above the camel joint of the left
hind leg of the heifer. Then, sitting down
on the right to milk he put the handle of
the hoe well under his left arm and began
milking. The heifer could not stir either
hind leg, and after one week she could
be MIXED safely without lettering and
proved to be valuable and gentle ami
NAL. OF course she was tied in the stable
like other cows; but on being turned out
to grass could be MIXED anywhere with
out trouble.

There are many lessons of the Ohio
election which might be proftably
studied between now and November
by the Democrats, and particularly
by the mugwumps, and one of the
most significant is the uselessness of
lying. Tie mills of the mugwumps
and Democrats have been busy from
the very beginning of the campaign
grinding out lies, SANDERS, caluInnies
and forgeries for general use in the
country and for special circulation
in the States where elections have
been held prior to the National con-
test. Ia this business the Democratic
papers have been reinforced by such
alleged Independent sheets as the
New York Times and Post, and a
special grist was ground out for this
State, with the result that the peo-
pie stamped the libeIs into the
ground. A new grist was prepared
for Maine and circulated all over the
State, with the result that the people
of Maine increased their majority
for Mr.. Blaine and emphasized the
general admiration felt for him by
those who know him best. The bru
tai industry of these calumniators
was not discouraged. They imme
diately set to work preparing a new
stock of scandals for Ohio and flood
ed the State with them. Regardless
of the proofs of falsity that were
Immediately furnished, the dirty
work was kept up to the very day
of the election. 70 make them more
effective, Carl Schurz was sent into
the State and used all his power o.
sophistry and low cunning to con
vince people of the truth of them
With what result? The people o
Ohio have risen and stamped then
out by an immense majority, anC
wherever Carl Schurz appeared thep
the stamping-out was most vigorous
In view Of this result, will the Dem
ocraticmugwump mills continue t.
run during the next few days?

In case the election should be
thrown into the House the mode of
election by the House Of Represen-
tatives is, in brief, as follows: If it
shall be found when the certificates
sent by the electors of the respect
i've States to the President Of the
Senate, are opened by him in the
presence of the Senate and House Of
Representatives, and counted, that
no person has received majority of
all the electoral votes, then the House
Of Representatives is to retire to its
own chamber and Immediately
choose by ballot a President from
those receiving the highest number
OF votes, not exceeding three. Each
State has but one vote, and this vote
must be determined by a majority
of the members of the House from
such State. A quorum consists of a
member or members from two-thirds
of the States, and majority of all
the States is necessary to a choice.
Should the election of President in
the present campaign deyolve on the
House of Representatives, it is not
difficult to foresee the result. The
vote of 20 States would be necessary
to elect, and Of the SO States the
majority of the Congressional dele
egations of % Of them are Demo
cratic, while one Of them, that of
Florida, is tie. The throwing of
the election into the House by the
success Of a fusion ticket in any
State would therefore be equivalent
to the election of Grover Cleveland
to the presidency.
