SCIENTISTS SURPRISED.

entire community and Il youthful
romance of more than ordinary
freshness and beauty has fallen into
the dust with a dull thud by reason
of train of accidents SO singular
as to be worthy of record in these
columns. A few weeks ago Mr..
John Dorry succeeded in winning
the affections of Miss Eugenia
Snifflen, and when she had promised
to be his own fair bride there was
general rejoicing. The young peo-
pie were as unlike as possible, both
physically and mentally. John was
tall and fair, Eugenia dark and
stumpy, and so they presented a
marked contrast.
We shudder still as we remember
what happened the next day. Mr..
Dorry was elevated into a state of
spiritual exaltation which made him
oblivious of time and sense, espec-
tally sense. He went to Hezekiah
Bludgin's saw mill, passed Hezekiah
by and going on into the interior of
the building attempted to shake
hands with the circular saw, which
was apparently lounging idly by.
The saw proved to be doing busi-
ness, and when q succession of
shrill shrieks rent the air and the
bystanders rushed to the spot,
young John Dorry lay prone in the
sawdust and the gray matter of the
brain, was trickling from a great
hole in the side of his head.
The sufferer was taken to the
home of his betrothed, and to her
room, where it was hoped she could
nurse him tenderly back to life" as
the young girls do in Mrs. Alphabet
Southworth's stories. Several of the
neighbors pointed with pride to the
fact that there was after all a silver
lining to the dark cloud: no one
now could doubt that Mr.. Dorry
had had brains. This did not, how
ever, strange to say, seem to be of
much comfort to the afflicted family
Time passed on and young Dorry
was nursed tenderly by his fance,
but he did not come back to life
on the contrary, he grew worse, and
was about to pass in his checks
when desperate expedient was re-
solved on. Eugenia was put under
the influence of the new anesthetic,
cocoane, laid on long, narrow bed,
about three feet from that which
held her dying lover, and a small
round orifce was drilled into the
skull just over the left ear.
A gutta-percha tube with a silver
mouthpiecc was fitted into this hole,
the other end being firmly band
aged into the wound in John
Dorry's head.
All air was then exhausted in the
tube and Immediately the gray or
liquid matter of the brain began to
flow briskly from Eugenia's head to
that of John. The operation was
entirely successful.
The consequences, however, have
been distressing. Eugenia became
a driveling idiot, although even her
oldest friends are puzzled to detect
any change in her. John is once
more well and strong, hale and
hearty, rollicking and robust but
he is not the same. He now wears
his mustache in curl papers, parts |
his hair in the middle and wears it
long, sings "In the Cleaning" and
"Some Day" in a minor key at
twilight, and refuses to ride a-stradle.
All of Eugenia's traits have been
transferred to John, who wears
gloves up to his elbows and knot
of pink ribbon at his throat and an
enormous corsage bouquet in a belt
over his breast,

A BANKERS VIEw.-"The world
moves in spasms," said my friend,
the banker; "first with geeat rush;
then with a great rest. During the
rest thousands have to go hungry.
When hard times comes the pres
sure settles down on the roofs of
these big buildings"-pointing out
over the city-"like the disc of an
hydraulic engine, and it squeezes
the people out like water out of a
sponge, or rats out of a cellar, and
the poverty-stricken ones have to go
out and starve. Why? Because in
flush times they did not save.
Short-sightedness, improvidence, or
evil passions-that is what aids the
poor ones in the world. When 1
was young man had to learn to
live on nothing, and then l learned
how to keep Il family of five on
$50 a month, and we lived comfort
ably and contented, too"

PoLITENEss.-It is graceful habit
for children to say to each other:
"Will you have the goodness ?" and
81 thank you" We don't like to
see prim, artificial children there
are few things we dislike so much
as a miniature beau or belle. But
the habit of good manners by no
means implies affectation or res
traint. 1t is quite as easy to say:
"Please give me a piece of pie"
The idea that constant politeness
would render social life stiff and re-
strained springs from false estimate
of politeness. True politeness is
perfect ease and freedom. 1t sim
ply consists in treating others just
as you would like to be treated your.
self, A person who acts from this
principle will always be said to have
"sweet, pretty ways with her. 1t
is of some consequence that your
daughter should know how to enter
and leave room gracefully, but it
is of some consequence that she
should be in the habit of avoiding
whatever is disgusting or offensive
to others, and of always considering
their pleasure as well as her own.

Whoever is wise is apt to suspect
and be ditfident of himself, and on
that account is willing to "heark en-
unto counsel; ;" whereas the foolish
man, being in proportion to his
folly full of himself. and swallowed
up in conceit, will seldom take any
counsel but his own, and for that
very reason, because it is his own

INTERIOR OF THE TOMB.

The distance over which the process
sion moved from the City Hall to the
tomb is nearly eight miles.
The body was received at the tomb
amid the booming of cannon and sol
emn funeral dirge. The services were
very impressive and many an eye was
moist with tears as the casket was borne
to its resting place in the vault.
Every foot of grovnd was covered
with the dense throng which crowded
forward to cach a last glimpse of the
casket and its surroundings, and they
fingered long after all was over.
Opposite the tomb on the broad
waters of the Hudson were manned YES
sells from the navy which fired minute
guns during the day.
After the funeral the casket was closet
