THOSE who are advocating the scientific
study of the results of alcohol in the public
schools will have hard nut to crack in the
case of Chief OF Police Braun, OF Pittsburg,
whose death recently occurred in that city.
During his lifetime the chief was devotedly
attached to beer and ice cream, and it might
have been supposed that the lining Of his
stomach would show some of the effects of
alcoholic liquors, even though the cream pre-
sence might not be detected. But an autopsy
revealed that the coating of the stomach was
perfectly sound, anda careful microscopical
examination showed not the slightest trace
Of poison n any of the stomachic apparatus.
This agitation Of scientific temperance in
.truction may have the effect of uprooting an
old-time fallacy.

The Local Elections.


The city tax is by long obbs the heaviest
that the people have to bear, and the mu-
nicipal government is the one that comes
closest to their homes and personal inter-
ests. In theory it is separated from the
broader issues of state and federal politics.
and the elections for local officers are held
at time remote from the others. Never
theless the voters manifest the least con-
cern in them. They seem to be entirely
Indifferent to the character of nominations
made, and no offensivenesS of nominations
is resented at the polls. In fact, the more
odious a nominee is the better his party
rallies to him, apparently, in this town !;
and if there be defections from the ranks
of his wnparty, the opposition can be read
lily recruited in his behalf.
Very notable proof of this was furnished
in Lancaster yesterday, especially in the
contest for alderman in the Fourth ward.
A better test could hardly be asked than
was afforded by Alderman Spurrier'
candidacy for reelection. 1t was utterly
destitute of merit, and hadn't a redeeming
feature. And so considerable number
of his own party thought, and boltcd,
About an equal number of Democrats
some by purchase and some for personal
favor, supported him. So it went over the
| city and the close Of election day found
| the municipal government more firmly il
| the hands of a ring of jobbers than evel
| before
The people have set the seal of their ap
proval upon malfeasance and misgovern
ment. The officials whom they have chOsel
will promptly recognize this; and ther
will be a fine crop of whirlwind reape
from yesterdays sowing of the wind.

Philadelphia Press of the 21st inst. con-
tains the following;
ga year and half ago a gentleman
who had achieved some local political
distinction in Wilmington, and whose
family is closely associated with the
history of this State, came to Whining
ton to live. Hehad inherited a fortune
of $100,0GO. 1t was more money than
he knew Just what to do with, and he
was we'll along in years. Still he wish
ed to increase his pile, and increase it
rapidly. He went into railroad specu-
lation. He became familiar figure on
Third street, and his rooms in the
Lafayette hotel were the resort of rep
resentatives of that crowd of queer
people who peddle points" to whoever
will buy. He lost; he lost all the time.
He went down into the pit of poverty
as a swimmergoes down a sliding board.
Yesterday, broken in health, mind and
purse, he was admitted into the Old
Mems home. The lesson that his
career teaches is obvious. But who
will learn it?
1.-The Press leaves us in the dark so far
as the name of the gentleman referred
to is concerned, but public conjecture
points most Enthusiastically to one and
the same man, and that man is G. Hill
Brinton, former Trustee of the Poor
for Wilmington. His friends, however,
say that it is incorrect that he came in
to possession of 100000, the half of
that amount being nearer the truth. p

AMONG THE ANTHROFOPHAGI
An Explorer Relates How the Cannibals Eat
Their Victims.


Report of Lecture in San Francisco.
There are no cannibals in the Feeiee group, as
is commonly supposed, no man having been
eaten there for six years South of the Feejee,
toward Australia, is q group of $50 Islands,
known as the Solomon group. In these islands
lated an incident that happened to him on the
island of Mallicollo.
Having landed from his schooner he ap-
preached the town, which is always built few
rods from the shore, and found a number of
women seated in the largest house. He ad-
dressed them in their dialect, but they would
not speak, though it is as hard for female to
keep silence in those regions as it is in a more
house and he followed them to the shore,
whore native had just landed from
his canoe. This man was followed by
about 200 others in their canoes who carried
among them dead native. This man they had
killed in neighboring tribe. The man
was tied with grass ropes and carried to public
square by the women, all taking care not to
touch the body. Three men then extracted the
entrails from the body, while others dug large
hole in the earth. The cavities Of the body were
filled with heated stones and placed in the hole,
and heated stones heaped the body. After
two hours dance and incantation the body was
thought to be done to a turn, and was taken
from its roasting place and carried around on
sticks and introduced to each warrior. It was
then placed in a sitting position and was ap
preached by the chief, who inquired if it had
been satisfactorily treated, and as the body did
not avail itself of the opportunity of expressing
| it's qualification the priest of the town answered
| for it, After this ceremony the body was cut
with knives of stone, used only for sacrefcal
purposes.
The choicest morsels of the roasted flesh &C.
cording to the native taste, were the upper arms
| aud the thighs, and these human delicacies were
| reserved to tickle the palate of the chief The
! rest of the body was divided among the warriors
with the exception of the head, which was given
to the priest, and the hands and feet, which were
| contemptuously handed to the women The
pieces of human flesh were all placed on banana
| leaves, and each man waited until all had been
| allotted their share. Then the roasted portions
were poised simultaneously on wooden forks and
| deposited down the cavernous Threats of the as
sembled cannibals, exceeding relish being shown
| in the feast of human flesh, though
the next day most of them had the
| collie The greatest was taken
| not to touch the flesh with the fingers. The
| leaves of banana were thrown in large fire, tho
wooden forks were placed III running stream
and were allowed to remain there for three days.
| The only men who touched the body wero those
! who prepared it for cooking, and these were
driven into tho woods with stones, where they
were compelled to stay for three days without
eating. After this probationary period they
were allowed to return, having been thought to
have expiated the fault of touching the human
remains. -.a

Bath-Rooms in Farm-Houses.


Not many farm-houses have a convenient
bathroom, nor is it convenient to arrange one in
many old houses without more expense than the
owner or tenant is willing to expend. Shall
tell you how one house is arranged, not far from
where I am wrtingl The house was so small
for the family that there was no room to spare
for bat room, but it fortunately had good
large kitchen Upon one side of this kitchen
stands the bath-tub, cased in with pine boards.
Above this easing is a movable board six or
eight inches wide, and the whole is covered by q
smoothly planed hard wood board or boards
hung by hinges against the wall. When the
board is let down over the tub it forms kitchen
table about seven feet long and about four feet
wide, and those not in the secret would not sus-
pect what is beneath it. When the table is turned
up and the movable boards taken out tho
bathing tub is of convenient height. A lead
pipe carries the water off through the Same
channel that takes it from the kitchen sink.
Here, by The kitchen lire, the members of thu
family can take their bath before retiring for
the night and the delight of the younger chill
dren at a tub in which they can lie down and
splash to their hearts content is as their moth
er assures me, something worth witnessing, and
after the children are off to bed tho older mem.
bers pay their tribute to cleanliness. The same
lady assures me that the great kitchen table is
as handy as two smaller ones would be. Of
course, this is not as convenient as the regular
bath ROOM where the latter can be kept at a
comfortable temperature, but cannot all have
new houses with all the modern improvements,
and if we can afford to make our old ones moro
convenient for those who have to do the work
therein let us do So The making of tho house
comfortable for those who spend their days in it
should be part of our every -day work, as
much as the fixing up of barns and other build

The Virgin of the Napkin.
Clara Erskine Clement in st. Nicholas.


When painting the pictures for the Capuchns,
Murillo dwelt in their convent nearly three
years, it is said. without leaving it. He
painted for these monks twenty pictures with
life size figures, and several smaller works. Sew
enteen of these are now in tho museum of Sc
ville for the monks had the wisdom to send
their pictures to Cadiz for safe keeping before
the "Plunder- Master General of Napoleon" as
Soult has been called could reach them. When
the French wars were ended, the pictures were
returned to Seville. can not speak of them
separately. but will say that the Ma
donna called LA virgen de la Ser
villeta,' or the Virgin of the Napkin,
now in the Museum, has this pretty story con-
nected with it. The legend is that the cook of
the convent grew very fond of Murio during
his long service to the artist. and when the time
came for them to be separated the cook begged
the painter for keepsake. The painter said be
had no canvas left; the cook quickly gave him a
napkin and asked him to use that with his good
nature. Murillo assented, and soon painted this
picture, which is now one Of the famous art
treasures of the world. 1t is not large, and
represents the Virgin with the Child Jesus, who
leans forward. almost out of the picture as
if to welcome anyone who approaches it. 1t has
brilliant color, and affects one that it Is not
easy to turn away from it.
