Human EIectrotypes.

NJ Kergovatz, chemist OF Brest,
has proposed new method Of dispos-
ing of the human body after death.
which he considers preferable in every
way to either burial or cremation. His
system is an antiseptic one, much SIM
pier and less expensive than the old
process of embalming, and is nothing
more than a new galvanoplastic appli-
cation. The body is coated with con-
ducting substance, such as plumbago,
or is bathed with solution OF nitrate
of silver, the after decomposition OF
which, under the influence of sunlight.
leaves finely divided deposit of metal
lie silver. 1t is then placed in bath OF
copper and sulphate and connected for
elcectrolysis with several cells of q
gravity or other battery of constant
current. The result is that the body is
incased in a skin of copper, which pre-
vents further change or chemical action.
II desired. this may be again plated
with gold or silver. accord ny to the
taste or wealth OF the friends of the
dead. NJ kergovatz has employed the
process eleven times on human sub
iects, aud on many animals. and states
that in all cases it was perfectly salts
factory. In spite. however. OF his
warm recommendation the idea is re-
pulsive. 1t seems mockery to give
permanence to the temple, when all
that once made It valuable is gone. =

Book Editions.

When publisher announces that
book has reached its third, or fourth.
or 'teenth edition" as the case may
be, the public has a vague idea that the
work has been successful. but only
vague one. How many volumes an
.sedition" represents has been mys-
terry, but. according to Boston pub
Usher there is something like a rule in
the matter. He says that book of 400
pages IS considered an edition at 1000.
and this is a basis from which all edi-
tions are estimated. The publisher
gives the additional information, which
may be of interest; that, for the 400
vertisng copyright, books to the press
for reviews and all incidentals, is about
$3.50. This first edition, all sold, will
bring net return of only $675. leaving
1915 unaccounted for, A second edi-
ton will cost only $3.50, as the plates
are on hand and there is no expense on
that score, and on this edition the net
return will again be 1915, leaving still
$3.50 of the original expenditure to
be gotten out of the work. On the
next edit on, if one can be disposed OF,
this shortage is cleared up and very
small profit remains So that it can be
seen that TO be a slightly profitable in
vestment there must be at least three
editions of 1000 copies of every book
published. - thicago Tribune.

THE POOR POLES,
An AFFLICTED People who Are Prosecuted
by Prussia and Russia

An AFFLICTED People VINO Are fersecuteo
by Prussia and Russia
For some time past the European
press has been occupying itself with the
Punishment of hundreds of Russian
subjects from East Prussia and of Ger
mans from the Polish provinces of Rus
STA The process is carried on with the
most complete good understanding OF
the rulers of both countries. but natur-
ally arouses great excitement among
the foreign populations OF each. A let
ter from Warsaw, for instance, relates
how the native workingmen of Girar-
dow, near Warsaw. wrathful at the ex-
pulsion of Poles from Germany, deter
mined to avenge themselves by expell-
ing the Germans from Girardow, so
taking the matter into their own hands
and anticipating the action of the Rus
sian Government. Accordingly the
Polish factory hands assembled on Sat
urdav night TO begin their work. there
being great numbers of Germans in
Poland, as in all industrial districts in
Russia. The agreement among the
Polish workingmen having been kept
secret, the police supposed that the
crowds meant strike, called out the
military. and only succeed in effecting
dispersion when it grew dark and they
had arrested number of the leaders.
| The object OF the demonstration became
| known only when these leaders we're
examined 1t is - curious wrong of
fate that the Polish workingmen

its object, while they punish men OF
| their own class who have no more to do
than themselves with the expulsion OF
| Poles from Prussia. - But their action is
easily explained when one reflects how
unintelligent the working class is in
Russia and how far from approaching
that everything which arouses the
national hatred of workingmen is
strongly in the interest of their rulers.
What the Russian and German
rulers are aiming at however, is not SC
clear, inasmuch as they publish from
time to time. half officially, reasons
which contradict each other fatty. Al
first the Prussian explosions were ex
planned as being complimentary TO Bis
marcks social reform, on the theor,
that the home labor market must b.
protected for the home lsborer. Late
| It was urged that the Germanizing o
the Polish provinces of Germany wa
delayed by the influx of Polish working
men; but If this be the real reason it ]
police logic of the worst sort, for n
conceivable agitation is capable 0
arousing such wrath and hatred as tn
expulsion of multitudes of men
women and children. Looked at fror
the outside the whole seems to be purel
in the interests of the Russian despo'
ism, for Russia is bent upon maintain
ing its barbarous condition and is onl
consistent in driving out foreigners
progressive tendencies as ruthlessly q
it banishes its own subjects; but

The Wonderful Way in Which Squirrel
Mother Got Her Babies Over Stream Of
Water.
Dear Jack" writes jeanette G. W.,

rel didp
"She invented boat to carry her
babies in. At all events, gentleman
writing to the Toledo Btade says he saw
her do II, and believe him. for even
animal mothers will do wonderful things
when their babies are in question.
They we're on their way to new
part of country in Ohio, and in the
course of their travels they came to
creek. Mo her squirrel tried to induce
the babies to swim. across the stream,
but---bless their little hearts!-they were
afraid. and could not pluck up courage
even with mother to help them.
THE squirrel mother was very much
distressed at this, and for few mo-
ments seemed at loss what to do.
There was the creek, and it must bs
crossed. Pretty soon bright idea
struck her, and she ran briskly up and
down the bank of the stream until she
found a piece of wood about foot long
and half foot wide.
..She dragged that to the edge OF tho
stream and pushed it into the water un-
til only one end Of the piece OF wood
rested lightly on the bank.
4 Then she coaxed the babies to como
and walk out on the little boat They
stepped on board very timidly and
Struggled closely together. The little
mother then pushed the boat into the
stream, and taking hold Of it with her
teeth. swan behind it until it touched
the opposite bank, when the babies
scampered nimbly ashore, delighted to
know that their mother was placidly
following them.
This story is all very we'll and very
true, but have one to match It. One
day the dear little school ma am saw
squirrel sailing on the creek that runs
by the red school-house. To be sure,
there was no sail to the boat, and there
was no boat either, for that matter.
The squirrel was seated high and dry
on big piece Of bark and another
squirrel was swimming behind and

TEETH MUTILATIONS.
How Malay Dentists Perform the Opera
tion of Filing the Teeth.

How Malay Dentists Perform the Opera
tion of Filing the Teeth.
The practice of filing the teeth is stiB
in vogue among the Mohammedan Ma
laws. The individual may choose, ac-
cording to his fancy, among three
thngs--that of simply rubbing away
the front surface of the tooth; that of
fling away the sides so as to leave the
fir ont of the tooth standing out in tri-
angular relief; and sharpening of ths
tooth-for all of which styles consider
able variety in patterns exists. As ali
the Mohammedan islanders set much
store on having their teeth properly
'.improved, the tooth-filer is an i'm
portant parsonage among them. His
outfit includes hammer, bracing-
stone or anvil. chisels. files and saws.
The person to be operated upon pre-
pares bis teeth for the purpose by chew
ing raw rice or tumeric, and, prostrat-
ing himself on the ground. lays his
head. blindfolded, upon the operating
bench. The operator demonstratively
repeats an unintelligibls incarnation
phrase. and. wedging the subject s
mouth open, performs his work. The
filing done, the teeth are blackened,
and the pain is quieted with cocoanut-
water in which an iron, inserted red-hot,
has been standing for several days. For
some time after the operation the pa
tent must avoid eating things unpleas-
ant to sore teeth. AS a recompense he

may marry. The legendary origin oil
the custom is miraculous escape Mo
manned is said to have once had from

| After having eluded his pursuer by
being overshadowed by a swarm of bees
he was nearly overtaken again, and hic
in dry we'll. Some of the pursuiag party
thought he might be in the well, ant
threw stones into it. He was looking
| up at the time, and the stones knocked
out four of his upper teeth. The fashion
/ of filing down the teeth is, however
probably older than Mohammedanism
M. E. T. Hamy has made study of thu

Mota Padilla says the Indians cut thei
teeth down to sharp points and bore'
holes in them, which they filed with
black cement. A statuetts dug up a

Life is more active and exciting in all
colonies than in the mother country.
Hence new qualities of character, new
faults, other vices. One not the least
noteworthy is the appetite for absinthe
spreading everywhere in France with
dangerous rapidity, but with greater
force and virulence in the colonies and
in the army. The habit was deemed of
such Importance by General De Courcy,
who has lately assumed the command
in Anam and Tonquin, that he has for
hidden the sale of it within the limits
of his command. In Algiers the habit
and its effects are seen on every hand.
1t appears to be the only stimulant that
really satisfies the appetite. Cafes
abound in Algiers and all the other
towns of the country as in France, and
as the weather is warm indoors at this

A MEDICAL CURIOSITY.

Screaming Exchange Spectators and
Their Affections.
A medical curiosity was revealed to
me by physician whose speciality is
throat diseases. and whose practice is
principally among members Of the COM
mercial exchanges. Much of the BUSH
ness of the stock exchange, the pro-
duce exchange. and other speculative
marts, is done in whoops and yells.
The scene on the floor, with crowd of
excited operators pushing aud hauling.
gesticulating and screeching, has often
been described, but it had never struck
me that the wear and tear of vocal
chords was consequential,
Nor would it be- the physician
said, eff all the spectators and brok-
ers had strong, high voices. The
trouble comes to those who have to
strain their throats in making them
selves heard in the din. Acute brou-
chitis, partial paralysis, or acute lesion

and they have to go to doctor for
treatment 1 happened somehow to
