A pretty little story is told of the way Herr Cohn, the private banker of the Emperor of Ger many, gained the imperial favor. Years ago, when the present Elm press was still a princess of Prussia, she made a railway journey to Dessau. On the way her feet got cold, so she sent out an attendant at the next station to procure a flask of hot water. Unfortunately the cook at the railway restaurant had just used up every drop of hot water in making fresh coffee for those who had just arrived on the train. The restaurateur was in despair, when one of the guests suddenly got up, seized the pot of fresh coffee. and poured it into the imperial flask. The attendant hastened away with it, but soon returned, as the Empress wished to know the name of the man who had had the happy thought of utilizing the coffee. And she did not forget him.

MT. Olive Counter, about five miles from this City, brought Tn some samples of seven-headed wheat, raised this year on his creek-bottom clay loam land. The stalks are the products of two kernels and are six feet high from the root to the top head. The heads are very peculiar, re- sembling pine cone, being thick and clumpy. One of the heads of average size was shelled out, and the grains counted from the one head were 161. According to this the one kernel of wheat yielded 966 plump. fat wheat grains, or nearly 1,OO0-foId. The yield per acre to Mir. Counter of this wheat was eighty five bushels. On the same kind of soil he has raised red-top clover this year six feet in height. Those who are ac- quainted with good milling wheat say that this will make a No. 1 quality of flour. One of the heads, which was weighed, tipped the scales at over half an ounce. -Tocoma Evening News.

Terra-cotta lumber is made of one part of pure clay, with one to three parts sawdust, and as much water as it needed. The mess Is pressed into blocks, which are dried and burned for two days. They can be cut into any shape by circular saws. It is incombustible, resists acids and the influence of the atmosphere. It is bad con- ductor of sound, heat, and cleo tricity; IS but half as heavy as brick; can be sawed, planed, or carved; and combines intimately with lime, gypsum, etc.

It is worthy of special note that the present equinoctial season has been marked by exceptionally heavy rainfalls, and almost si- multaneously in portions of India, America, and Europe. On our Gulf coasts the fall in some localities since the equinox has been abnormal even for this period. The meteorological sig nifcance of the heavy rain falls probably is that the march of autumn in our hem isphere generally will be rather slow and the arrival of cold winter weather be rather late.

Cocaine.


 From the New York Tribune.
 Cocaine is becoming one of the most popular remedies of the day. Its functions of allaying the sen- sibility of the nerves of mucous membranes and other tissues ren ders it valuable in surgical opera tons and in the treatment of throat and lung affections. It also possesses curative properties, and can be used advantageously where there is local irritation to be re- moved and reflex nervous dis turbances to be prevented. In consequence of these remarkable qualities and of the prominence given to it in the medical treat ment received by General Grant, it is now coming into general use. Hay fever is not by any means the only disease for which it is de- clared to be an effective remedy. The chemists who are compound ing cocaine tabloids for the noses of catarrhal patients are also putting up cocaine troches for the throats of sufferers from bronchial and pulmonary complaints. There is reason for believing that the mar ket will speedily be flooded with cocaine lozenges, cough drops, soothing syrups, patent plasters, and every kind of cure-alls. Ad- vantage will be taken of the sud den reputation which this singu- larly effective curative agent and anesthetic has obtained. Cocaine will be recognized by patent med icine manufacturers as popular catchword, and the business of prescribing and compromising it will be speedily overdone.

Walking is the best of exercises, and if spirited and the arms be al lowed to swing freely, it brings into play the muscles of the upper part of the body as we'll as the lower half. Walking, if well managed, is better ln one respect than exercise in a gymnasium, where you get little sunlight and where you are likely to breathe dust and impure air.

family of German who lived on small
place three miles from town, says a ply
slclan who tells the story. He was
whom, BOY Of ten years, had diph-
liberia. attended my patient faithfully,
and he recovered. He had sister two
years older, called Sadie, who seemed
inexpressibIy grateful to me 'for saving
brother Jimmy's life" Always she spoke
of me as the good doctor who saved
brother Jimmy's life" and 1 in turn,
won by her affectionate words and ways,
fell into the habit of thinking and speak
ing of her as my "good little girl. "
Thus we became excellent friends.
Not long afterward Sadie herself had
diphtheria, for which she was "very
sorry, because it prevented her from
gathering bushel of hickory nuts to
pay me tor saving brother Jimmy's life. "
In all her sickness she never expressed
one regret for herself. Her disease ran
ominously, but at last she seemed con-
valescent, and one day her father called
to say that Sadie was very much better,
and that need not trouble myself to
call again. But early the next morning
he reused me, and said he feared Sadie
was dying. fastened to her bedside
and found that it was even SO. She
knew me. Beside her in bed under the
ragged quilt she had small bag of hick-
DRY nuts gathered by her the day before,
at the expense of her life. "For saving
brother Jimmy, she gasped; and in a
few moments my good little girl was
dead.

A Hindu Funeral.

A bed of straw was spread close by
the bank, and the corpse laid upon it.
The body was wrapped from head to
loot in q red cotton cloth. Then more
straw was piled upon the body and a
very little wood upon that, after which
one of the relatives touched a lighted
match to the straw. The mourners sat
down upon their heels in a group to
windward of the pile, and chatted So
ciably while they watched it burn. The
wind was strong, and it burned fiercely
for about three minutes, and then very
moderately for about ten more, by the
end of which time the fuel was all con-
sumed. Then the mourners arose,
dipped water from the river, and drown
ed out the fire; the corpse lay there al
most intact, and we all saw that it was
woman. The limbs were drawn up and
the face contorted, the hair was burned
away, and the entire remains were black
and hideous, yet only the skin and hair
was burned. Presently one mourner
put stout stick under the neck, an
other put another stick under the hips,
and at the word the carcass was tumbled
over the edge of the bank, and fell into
the water with a loud splash. A few
yards further down it reappeared at the
surface for moment; upon which one
of the cremators reached out with his
stick and pushed it under, after which
we saw it no more. Not more than ten
yards below that we saw the heads of
two large gavials that foated at the sur
face, watching the proceedings with
evident interest.
