Married . Marquis.

The end OF one OF the stories of American
girls who marry Italian counts is nearing at
Long Branch. Some years ago Miss Gil
lander married marquis who was favored
by her mother The marquis was an i'm
pecuniouS Italian nobleman, who came TO
this country to improve his fortunes. His
mother-in-law was always his devoted adj
mirer. He was here in 1874 with his wife.
and occupied 4 very large section Of the
first floor of the West End hotel. Several
years ago the marQuise became tired of
her husband, and about the same
time met a gentleman who was an old
admirer Of hers. His attentions to
her became very marked. The mar
quise at this time had grown 10 dislike her
husband very much. The two quarreled
and they separated. The mother sided
with the marquis. There were two chill
dren born. and the marquis took them with
him after the separation. Mrs. Gillander
never became reeOnciled to her daugh-
ter. The old lady died at Long
Branch last year. Her daughter Wis
tied her but once during her sickness.
and that was Just before her death. Mrs.
Gillander left n large section Of property To
the marquis. who lives with the children i'm
New York. The marquise is living here
very quietly pending divorce proceedings.
1t is expected that she will marry her
American lover after she has obtained di-
yOrce from her Italian husband.

WHY THEIR HEADS SWIM.
The Cause OF a Drunken Mans He

The Cause OF a Drunken Mans He
wiIderinS GyratiOnS.
From the Philadelphia News.
''Why does a man Stagger when he is
drunk?"
A representative Philadelphia physician.
scientist and philosopher addressed this
query to a News representative yesterday
afternoon on Chestnut street as they passed
by a well-dressed, gentlemanly-looking
young man who had evidently looked
through the bottom of too many wine
glasses.
You must know" said the doctor. in re-
ponse to a request for plain but scientific
explanation. that the nervous system. which
has its seat in the brain and the spinal
cord, divides its responsibility among its
several parts, much as in the executive de
partment of the government the response
biity is Subdivided. but centers in one
head-the president of the United States.
In the case of man the cerebellum presides
over the coordination of movement, the
cerebrum over volitiOnal life and the me-
dulla Oblongata over respiration. In the
case of alcohol intoXication the influence is
first felt in the cerebellum. and the victim
loses that complete control over the move
him in his normal state. This is the reason
he Staggers. If the intoxication is carried
further the cerebrum Is attacked and he
loses control over his thoughts. his power
of expressing himself imtelligently and. in
fact, all his intellectual faculties are be-
numbed. When this narcotiZation becomes
complete the man is dead drunk. In many
instances the intoXication has so affected
that part Of the spinal cord which presides
over sensation that surgical operations have
been performed without producing the
sensation of pain. The last portion of the
system affected by the pOtations of the
drunkard is the medulla oblongata When
this becomes narcotized respiration ceases
and death ensues.
Il have gone even further than your orr
ginal question implied. and have given you
all the stages of drunkenness. 1t is when
the influence of the alcohol is felt in no
other portion of the brain than the cerebel-
lum when the individual is said to be drunk
in his legs, but all right in his head"

a man named GOttlieb. while fishing in
the Delaware river at Sparowbush, two
miles above Port JerviS, on "Wednesday.
felt peculiar singing sensation in his right
lower limb, and taking hasty look in that
direction he was terrified to see a
pilot snake hanging suspended FROM
the calf of his leg. Instantly realiZ-
ing the deadly nature of a plot snakes

only the work of a few seconds 10 shake of
the deadly serpent and dispatch it. He
then stripped the limb of the heavy wooden
sock in which il was incased and squeezed
out as much blood as possible. He then
bandaged the limb above the wound and
hurried to Port JeTvis, where surgeon
cauteriZed the bite and gave the suffering
man the usual remedies. Although the man
was deathlv sick the limb did not swell
much. and the only thing to show the bite
was the discoloration and the imprint of the
reptiles teeth. The man will no doubt
recover. although he has suffered intensely.

pilots, at this season especially, seldom re-

of gentleman. highly connected
and now a resident OF Middletown,
who forty years ago was bitten
by pilot, At the time IN question the gen
tlelnan was visiting with friend near New
berg and both went out hunting. They be-
came separated during the days hunt, aud
the friend along In the afternoon was
unfortunate enough to be bitten BY one Of
these deadly reptiles in the calf Of the leg.
He had heard that the bites Of pilots were
exceedingly dangerous. and he At once APP
piled poultice of wet tobacco TO the wound,
bandaged the limb above the bite, and hiring
horse and wagon OF q farmer was
driven rapidly to Newburg. where he placed
himself in care of a celebrated surgeon
there, who cut out large portion Of the
flesh surrounding the wound. The weather
was excessively hot at the time, and the
man suffered untold agonies for many
weeks. He, however. recovered from the
effects of the bite, but each year, upon the
anniversary of the experience with the
pilot, the limb grows diScolored and be-
comes partially numb. This is 4 fact that
can be demonstrated and vouched for by
many friends Of the gentleman.
The farmers living at Denton and In that

abound in that locality, and though several
well-organized attempts have been made Il

RULES FOR HEALTH.
Some Valuable Suggestions from
the Board of Health.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Pnlladelpnla Press.
The board of health has issued these
hints in pamphlet form for distribution:
Though We initiation of dwellings is es-
sential to the health of the occupants, OBJ
serve strict cleanliness in your person and
clothing. Battle daily, if you have the con-
venience. If not, wash freely with cold
water every day. Change your undergar-
ments daily, or as frequently as your cir
cumstances viii admit. BE moral. regular
in your habits of life, meals, exercise and
sleep. Be careful to dress comfortably for
the season, avoid the night air as much as
possible, and when thus exposed put on an
extra garment, and do not go into the night
air when IN a state OF perspiration. Be
careful to avoid the use of alcoholic drinks.
Do not suppose that their use will pre-
vent the occurrence of disease. On the
other hand, those who indulge in the Gus
tom are always fair subjects for disease,
and when attacked the Incorporate are par
ticularly in a condition to offer feeble resist
ance.
Live temperately, live regularly, avoid
all excuses in eating crude, raw and lndi-
gestible food, especially cabbage, salad, GU
cumbers and unripe fruits. A greater safety
will be secured by boiling all water used for
drinking purposes. PaTtake of well-cooked
beef and mutton. rice well boiled, and avoid
pastry and laxative fruit. Take your meals
| at regular seasons, neither abstaining too
long at time, norindulging too frequently.
An overloaded stomach is as much TO %
dreaded Us an empty one. Avoid bodily
fatigue and mental exhaustion. Lead
calm and quiet life. Let all exciting causes
be avoided. If you depreSs or impair the
vital forces it is prejudiciaI to health. by
excitement or violent exercise ycu increase
the susceptibility OF the system 70 disease.

neglect even the s.giitese dafrAeea, no

GRANDMOTHER QUILL.
The Oid-FashiOned s.COmfO<ter'
She Used TO Tuck Around You.

A correspondent sends me a joke about
the quilt containing 9,965,477 stitches. but
declined to publish libel upon that good
old quilt and the dear, good old woman who
made it. There is no guile in the woman
or the quilt. That quilt is no patchwork
fraud and comforter. 1t isn't one of these
things that seem to weigh ninety pounds
when you first crawl under it and let you
wake up in the night, shivering at the rate
of Sixty-fve miles minute, frozen stiff as
an introduction from chin to instep, to find
fOrty-ive pounds of cotton in each end of
that comforter and nothing in the middle.
