THE POWER OF IMAGINATION.

r. a
As illustrative Of what imagination will
do, tho case Of a woman who imagined that
frog had found Judgment in her stomach
may be rected. The woman In question ID
the wife OF an industrious mechanic living
out near the Preside, and in some unknown
manner conceived the idea that the reptile
was in her stomach. Argument by her hus-
band and friends that it was q halluciana-
ton awaited not, and matters grew worse
and worse until one day, when the woman
was down town, her imaginary complaint
was SO bad that in desperation she entered
drug store and, stating her case, asked for
relief. The apothecary happened to be a
physician, and seeing at once that his GUS
TONER'S complaint was an imaginary one he
resolved to humor her. Calling his clerk
he dispatched him to a rotisserie near by to
procure frog, and administered an emetic
10 the woman. The frog was slipped into
the pail, and when the victim of the hallu.
cination saw it she expressed her thanks,
and said she felt much relieved. 1t was
only few days, however, before another
hallucianation that there were more frogs,
offspring Of the elected reptile, in her stom-
ach, took possession of her. She at once
repaired to the apothecary and told him of
her fears. The druggist scratched his head
for o moment, and then remembering that
he had chucked the frog into jar of alco-
hol took 1t from tho shelf, and after looking
at it intently for few moments, returned
to the woman with satisfied smile, on his
face, and said, Madame, you are mistak-
en- this ID not that kind OF frog" The
woman was cured, and since then has been
troubled with no further hallucination of
this kind.-Saa Francisco Call

THE CHIMPANZEE.
Nas IL Nun and n Brother Tint lie
Recognizable

Mr.. Conkling, tho naturalist at Central
Park is responsible for the following con-
corning the chimpanzee now ut the Park -
Crowley, ms no is called, was eating his
rico and milk a few days ago. He general
ly sits in his little armchair, with q spoon
in ono hand and napkin in tho other. Tho
moment the plate of rico and milk is set
before him hs begins to eat, scooping up
the food and carrying it to his mouth just
like the human being, or, rather, human
genus, that he is.
Mr.. Conkling says TINT while Crowley
was taking his dinner the other day two
gentlemen enterod the room where tho chin.
panzee is now kept. One of the gentlemen
was Caucasian and quite white; the Other
was very black man and carried whip
in his hand he was evidently from the
same country which produced the chimpan-
zee. The moment Crowley saw his dark
visaged countryman he smiled, laid down
his spoon and napkin, got down out of his
chair, and in an upright position approach
ed the colored man, reached out his hairy
hands, and grasping the dusky voter by
both hands he shook them with oil the vigor
and heartiness which characterizes the shake
that candidate gives to his constituent
just before election. The naturalist says =
The chimpanzoo gave every evidence thai
ho recognized his African brother that he
showed strong human traits Of character.
He even indicated that he was willing thai
his sable visitor should have F late of rice
and mix.
Who can draw the line where the anthro-
poid apes (Which is the class to which Crow
Icy belongs) ceases to be animal and be-
comes human2 The chimpanzee has every
muscle found in the human body and every
bone except one rib. Therefore no has POT
bones. Darwin has settled great dispute
by saying that apes and humans are identi-
cally the same and may rightfully be classod
as tho genus homo. Swedenborg said that
oil apes had souls or spirits and that they
all went into the spiritual world.

A PROCESSION OF IoEBERos.

During the last week we have witnessed
a most unusual phenomenon at this season
of the year. A long procession of icebergs
has been passing our shores, slowly pursu-
ing their southern march on the bosom Of
the Arctic current, and we have not yet
seen the last of these glittering wanderers
of the deep. Frequently sixty or seventy
we're visible at the same time from the top
Of Signal Hill. They are of all shapes and
sizes-some lofty and turreted, some dome.

saw one at the entrance of Conception Bay,
near Baccalieu Island, which was not less
than two miles in length. Another in the
same neighborhood was estimated to be
over three-quarters of mile. One peculi-
arity of them was that they appeared to fol-
low each other, as if arranged in single
line of march, but at irregular distances.
This is accounted for by the supposition
that the bulk of them are fragments of an
enormous ice mass which was seen on the
Labrador coast some time ago. If the &C.
counts of tho captains who were close to il
can be relied upon, this was the largest ice.
berg ever seen in the northern ATTITUDES.
Ono of the captains estimated it to be fifteen
miles in length and three or four in
breadth; the other made it twenty miles,
Allowing a margin for the excited imagina-
ton of these worthy shippers, this must
have been an astonishing island of ice. As
it did not make its appearance off our shores
in Its full dimensions, the great probability
is that it grounded on some rocky ledge.
By the action of the summer sun ita Joints
had become loosened, and by the rising and
falling tides and the force of the waves, as
it hung on the ledge, great fragments we're
snapped of, and falling one by one, with
sullen plunge into the waves, foated off as
ieebergs, thus in part creating the ghostly
procession which has been filing past along
our shores for the last ten days. All of the
immense group, however, could not have
had the same origin. The oldest inhabi-
tant does not remember anything approach.
ing to the ice phenomena of this year. In
ordinary years few icebergs are seen after
the first of August. But now we have a
huge fleet of them sailing past in the middle
of September and chilling our atmosphere.
Since the beginning of February stream
of icobergs and foes has been passing at IN
teryals. Some great ice movement must
have occurred in the Arctic regions of IN
unusual character to cause such an abnor-
NAL disagreement, and call into existence
the vast ice argosies of tho last seven
months. As consequence, tho supply OF
the next few years may be comparatively
small, and we may have but few of these
mighty wanderers of the deep, tho Arctic
warehouses being temporarily exhausted.

ELECTRICITY IN MATS.
A New Invention that will Render Every
House Burglar Proof

Among the latest uses to which electricity
is applied with remarkable success is in
burglar alarms, through means of an invisi-
bio mating. Every opening in large build
ing can have an invisible mat, which upon
the least touch will start bell ringing that
will not stop until the occupant awakes and
turns it off. If desired the gas can be turn
ed on simultaneously with the alarm, thus
fully exposing the burglar. This mating
ia placed under tho carpet, and, by means
of wire attached, sends off the alarm. The
very servants in tho house do not know
whore the mats arc situated, and cannot cut
the connecting wires. Any sized mat can
be had to ct any opening, or they can be
placed near o safe or any place where val
uables are kept. Placed under tho table or
desk an almost imperceptible pressure Of
the foot calls the servant or attendant, the
waiter in the kitchen, the bu tier and coach
man, respectively, from the pantry and sta

or dwelling without starting IN alarm i'm.
medintely. A man coming homo late at
night steps on the mat, the gas is lit instant
ly downstairs and upstairs. Ho goes to
his bedroom, presses mat there and tho
gas downstairs goes out, leaving that in his
room lit. The surface of the carpet is not
made uneven nor docs it wear tho carpet
in the loast. The system has met with won-
derful success, and many largo dwellings
on Fifth avenue supplied with it are as diff
ficult to enter undecided as blowing up
safe when the cashier is present. At the
dinner table the lady of the house calls the
servant by the pressure of tho foot without
sounding gong. 1t takes only few hours
to equip any building. The plant costs
from $3.50 to $500, as desired. When the
occupants move, for several dollars the
plant will BIO removed to their new dwelling

GEN. SHERMAN,s PREDICAMENT.

One incident, however, which happened
In San Francisco about five years ago, came
near breaking the General of the habit
which has fastened its terrible grip upon
him. The occasion was pretty Alice Harri-
sons farewell benefit, and, as luck would
have ii, Tecumseh and his staff were visiting
the Pacific..-- Coast Department. SO they
hired box and went to the show. No
sooner did Miss Harrison appear than the
old war horse snuffed the battle from afar
and began to grow restless. The members
of the staff winlsed at each other and sug-
gested the propriety of going behind the
scenes to compliment the beneficiary. This
proposition suited tho General exactly, so
back they went. When they were fairly on
the stage tho old hero Of Atlanta marched
up TO Miss Harrison with the remark that
he hadn't kissed anything since breakfast,
threw his arms over her shoulder and bent
TO bcstow a paternal salute on her check.
He had just reached the goal of his desire
and was feeling like just-admitted angel
sliding down bnttered rainbow when that
impish young lady saw that the prompter
was about to ring up tho drop" Quickly
placing her hands over the Generals ears
so he couldn't hear tho bell, she backed him
against tho curtain. As everybody knows,
this is wound around II huge wooden roller
ON the inside of the canvass. Well, the
Generals coat-tails were caught, and before
the prompter could reverse the motion the
astounded man was suspended seven oil
eight feet from the stage like q sheet from q
olothes-line The sight was so ludicrous
that the member of the Generals staff who
told mo the story said the audience went
into Mysteries, for they knew that those
convulsively clutching legs and venerable
gators belonged to no one else than the
commander-in-chief of all our armies. -

POETRY.
The Snow Angel.

Inc snow ANGEL
The sleigh-bells danced that winter night
Old marlborough rang with glee;
The windows overlooked with light;
Joy ruled each hearth and Christmas tree.
But to one the bells and mirth were naught:
His soul with deeper JOY was fraught.
He waited until the guests were gone;
He waited to dream his dream alone;
And the night wore on.
Alone he stands in the silent night;
He piles the snow In the village square;
With spade for chisel, statue white
From the crystal quarry rises fair.
No light, save the stars, TO guide his hand,
But the image obeys his souls command.
The sky is draped with fieecy lawn,
The stars grow pale In the early dawn,
But the lad tolls on.
And loi in the morn the people came
TO gaze at the wondrous vision there;
And they called it 1.-THE Angel" diyining It's
name,
For it came in silence and unaware
1t seemed no mortal hand had wrought
The uplifted face of prayerful thought:
But its features wasted beneath the sun;
Its life went out ere the day was done;
And the lad dreamed on.
And his dream was this: In the years to DO
will carve the Angel In lasting stone;
In another land, beyond the sea,
will toll In darkness, will dream alone;
While others sleep Will find way
Up through the night TO the light OF day.
There's nothing desired beneath star or sun
Which patient genius has not won.
And the boy toiled on.
The years go by. He has wrought with might;
He has gained renown in the land OF art;
But the thought inspired that Christmas night
stin kept its place in the sculptor's heart;
And the dream Of the boy, that melted away
In the light OF the sun that winter day,
Is embodied at last In enduring stone,
snow Angel in marble-his purpose won;
And the man tolls on.

FASHIONABLE FOLLIES.

Bleaching is becoming fashionable
among young society swells of both sexes,
but is mostly practised by young men,"
said society physician to Telegram re-
porter.
"By bleeding person they naturally be.
como little pale, and this gives them
kind of aristocratic or distinguished appear
ance. For instance, if o young man has
been rejected by the lady who has upset his
reason he can play upon her sympathies by
having himself bled. The loss of blood
would make him pale and interesting,
and he could lounge around home for few
days and send out report that he was dy-
ing of broken heart. His paleness would
show that something was tho matter with
him, and it might excite the lady's sympa-
thy, if she had that element in her icy fash
ionable composition. Tho face could not
be powdered or painted so as to represent
illness. The ladies understand that artifice
too we'll and great many arc adopting
the bleeding process. It is not that they
wish to convey the impression that they are
dying by inches from grief. They don't do
that now. But occasional bleeding makes
them naturally PALE and their pretty faces
are more easily colored in consequence
With white background, or rather lace,
the face is colored without tho preliminary
trouble of washing it with n white COM
pound before coloring is put on. The
colors stick better, the paint does not show
so plainly, does not close the pores of the
skin SO Theoretically, shows no creascs on
the face and gives it smoother appear.

correct thing in fashionable society to APP
pear too rosy and healthful. 1t would look

for q living. Schoolgirls, you know,
eat pickles and slate pencils under
the impression that it will mako them
thin by drying up the blood. Bleaching is
the latest device in fashionable society and
is resorted to by both sexes for opposite
purposes. During the summer ladies orc
bleached, or bled, under the impression
that the reduction of blood prevents an ex-
cess of perspiration--a nothing is con-
sidered more Questionable than to perspire.
That is why 80 many ladies look 30 cool
and icy chilling in the red-hot months OF
summer. do not know that the young men
drink salt water after being bled like the
other calves that are bleached for the mar.

water will soon become fashionable craze

ooINED GOLD UNDER oaouND,
Sixty "Yciiow Boys" Dug up Like Vans
From the Fertile Soil of Georgia.


In the summer of 1864, during the dark
days of the war, when the Federal armies
were passing through Georgia, scarcely a
town of Importance but what was visited by
the enemy's troopers. Though Newman was
several times threatened with them FORUM
ately one thing or another intervened and
shielded our people. At the season above
specified the Federal cavalry had approach.
ed the Chattahoochee OF Moore's bridge,
eight miles from Newman, and the bridge
was burned, by whom we do not know.
Our people were alarmed as usual, and
were busy hiding their valuables. w. B.
Berry and his father, the late Judge Berry hay
ing quantity Of gold coin which they feared
to keep about them, proceeded to their farm
on the bridge road, three miles from town,
and selected place in the woods for the
burial of their treasure. With q short crow
bar they dug holes as deep as they could
reach with their arms, deposited the pack
ages and carefully destroy all traces Bear
ings were taken from four largo trees, SO
that the spot could be afterward identified.
When the war closed and the danger over
past, they began to dig for the gold and
were fortunate in finding all of the dozen
packages except one, and that was the
largest, containing $500. Mr. Berry offer
ed one-haf of it as reward to tho finder
and numbers Of people searched In vain
time and again.
Last Thursday George W. Smith, of Car
roll county, came in exultingly with the
missing package, after four or five days
spent in digging, and handed It to Mr..
Berry with the seal unbroken. The pack
age consisted of twenty $40 pieces and forty
$3.50. They were in round glass bottle
and sealed with plaster of Paris, thin
sheet of lead being wrapped around the bot
tie. Mr.. Smith received his share of the
"yellow boys" and went on his way re-
joicing. Neaoaan Herald.
