An Undertaker,s Experience.

tI've Just returned from the house oi
a young married man who died last
night said an undertaken, "and his
weeping wife told me she wanted his
coffin made large enough to hold his gun
and game bag, because he was so fond OF
shooting"
81 suppose you have a great many
such queer requests" remarked the lis
tener.
''Oh, yes. 1t was only about a month
ago that a mother, frenzied with grief,
when l was about to put the lid on her
daughters casket, took from a closet a
satin ball dress and insisted upon having
it used as a cover for the corpse.
"Then some people want favorite
books, letters, Bibles, pictures, and such
things buried with their dead. 1t seems
to soothe their anguish to some degree,
and you have to humor them. Tho
queerest thing of the kind happened to
me Just after went into the business. 1t
would have been laughed at on minstrel
stage, but in a house of grief had to be
tolerated with solemnity. The ten-year-
old boy of a poor woman had died Of
fever, and | was engaged to bury him.
Her neighbors had all gathered down
stairs. went up to ask her if there was
anything more / could do, and she
handed me a little bundle, saying:
please put this at the foot of Johnny's
coffin. They are pair of his old panta-
looms and the first / ever whipped him
in. PbilddeiDhid Press.

An Indiana man who, under the last
Administration, held the position of Indian
agent in Dakota, told the Chicago Jour-
nal recently that the excessive dryness of
the atmosphere there affected his health,
causing him TO have the rheumatism so
badly that he was not able to walk half
mile, though he was never thus af-
fiicted at home. A subsequent transfer
to the Indian Territory caused a great
improveme 1t in his health. lie said he
knew of many persons having to leave
Montana also on account of similar
rheumatic troubles,

Chickens are valuable outside the
question of eggs and flesh. A full grown
hen win yield from two and one-half
ounces TO four and one-half ounces of
feathers and down. The feathers serve
for bonnet decorations, the ornamental
tion of military shakos, and for busters.
The average sized feathers are employed
for beds and holsters, the down for pill
lows. But the latter classes are not held
in as much esteem as the same from geese
and ducks. When the feathers are
plucked, they are placed for a short time
in bakers oven, after the bread has
been withdrawn, to kill the insect germs
before they are sent to market.

Keely and His Motor.

Everybody except an average New
York juryman must have heard of Keely't
motor, of which the newspapers have
had constant mention in the last ten
years. Most readers must have come to
the conclusion that the motor is sham,
but some persons of intelligence and sci
entifc attainment believe that Keely has
demonstrated that he controls a great
power, whatever it might be, and that he
will vet be recorded as one of the famous
inventors, despite the doubt and ridicule
so continually cast upon him. Keely
John W. is asserted to be avery sincere
and earnest man, the opposite OF the
conscious impostor he has been repre-
sented. He is a native Philadelphian,
and, at the early age of ten, was COM
PEELED to fight the hard battle Of life
alone. He soon had two hobbies-music
and mechanics His knowledge of the
former enabled him to discover what he
claims to be the vibratory theory, and
of the latter TO construct the machine
about which there has been, and still is,
so wide discussion. He was by turns
musician, leading a small orchestra sew
eral seasons at one of the summer re-
sorts, and cabinetmaker, having
shop in Market street. Some thirteen
years ago, he began to believe that he
had invented new and extraordinary
engine. The first large machine required
three years to build, cost 500, 600, and
proved to be of no practical value. An
other and another machine followed,
each being an improvement upon its pre-
decessor. The latest improvement will,
it is maintained, show astonishing re-
suits. Keely has denoted two symp-
tons of strength and faith, patience and
quiet; and if he should succeed at last,
his experience would simply be repe-
tition of what other great inventors have
endured. -Ne10 York Commercial.

An Epicure's Dish.

Asparagus is plentiful and good this
season. | wonder if everybody who has
a freezing machine knows how delicious
iced asparagus isl 1t simply needs boiling
as usual, draining, dipping in oiled but
ter and putting into the freezer till
thoroughly frozen. BY oiled butter !
mean, of course, butter reduced to the
condition of oil, not what is commonly
called ''melted butter" The best way
to prepare oiled butter is to place the
quantity of butter required in covered
jar to put this into sauce
pan aud to let water boil around
il till the butter is thoroughly melted.
A kind of curd falls to the bot
tom of the jar, and the clear oil must be
carefully poured offit Many epicures
prefer this as sauce TO ''melted butter
to eat with boiled asparagus. The vege-
table dipped in oiled butter and frozen,
is eaten alone, with no further prepara-
tion but dipping salt on the plate. 1t is
almost worth while living to have ICED
asparagus a few times year Like every
other good thing it clogs the palate il
partaken of too frequently Only the
giant form of the suoculent veg gitable
should be chosen for this treltmen,; but
on future occasion hope TO give some
recipes for using the smaller kinds in va
rious delicate fashions. London Asps.

Executions in France.

They have no blundering executions in
France. The executioner is neither a
hero nor an outcast, as in other countries.
The system of executions have been sim
plifcd as much as possible. The instru-
ment is erected the night before, and
tried on dummy TO see that it works
well. Formerly the condemned was often
tortured and torn and hacked, and he
was always encouraged by having a good
look at the cleaning knife as he ap-
preached the CHASTITY instrument. Now
the knife is hidden, the victim is in posi-
ton in two or three seconds, a noiseless
touch Of the button, aHd all is over.

DR.. Oswald says that candidates for
the Office of a Turkish policeman seem to
be selected without regard TO their
achievements in ward politics BY the
present regulations of the hadjeh kama,
or board of police, the patrolmen of Con-
stantinople have to speak at least two of
the five principal languages of their cos
mopolitan metropolis. They have to be
first-class swordsmen, being required to
disarm and not dissect contumacious
criminal, and use their ponderous pistols
only in extreme cases of personal peril.
They are to a man picked athletes, and
would be models of their class but for
one rather venial foible-their pay is so
scant that they can not afford to refuse
an occasional subvention. According to
special instructions, they are permitted
to assist 'tipsy but discreet unbeliever'
to reach his quarters in peace, and after
dark every offender with handful of
small currency is apt to be mistaken for
q tipsy but discreet infdel."

BY THE RIVER.

Each Of them loving, each Of them loved,
Gliding down with the river,
Nature smiled, and the sun above
Brighter shone to hold such love
By the fairy banks Of the river.
Years had passed, and woman wept,
Wept as she sat by the river,
Wept for the love that had died away,
Wept for the love that was lost for aye,
By the dull cold banks CT the river.
Ever the careless streamlet flows
Ever on to the river,
Only the breeze a requiem sighed,
For the heart that broke, for the love that
died,
By the fairy banks Of the river.

The Secretary of the New York Medi-
cal Society has been instructed to formu-
late denunciation of those pretended
Indian doctors who, during the last few
summer seasons, have so multiplied
throughout the country. They travel
from place to place, setting up an imita-
tion of an Indian camp in each, drawing
crowds by means of crude variety show
of singing, dancing, and athletic feats,
and then selling medicines composed of
stew Of herbs made in kettle over
fire in the presence of the spectators.
Sometimes mystic rites or savage incan-
tations accompany the manufacture of
the cure-all, and the superstitious and 10.
norant are so impressed that they part
with their dollars freely. The Medical
Society will direct the attention of all
the county medical associations of the
United States to the fact that, although
these quacks are careful not to formally
announce themselves as physicians, they
do usually figure as medicine men,"
and are in effect medical practitioners in
the eye of the law. In some instances
the adventurer is a degenerate physician,
entitled by diploma to practice, but that
is unusual, and the societies will be urged
to prosecute all the rest. The assertion
will be made that great harm and small
good are done to their patients, because
the stuff sold is almost invariably sim
pie cathartic, likelier than not unsuited
to the disease

There exists in New Bedford, Iowa, a
very curious optical phenomenon in the
person of a little girl about ten years old,
by the name of Nancy Taylor. She at
tends school up in Grant Township. If
the current philosophy of vision, that we
really see things upside down, be correct
then this little girl is an instance of a
person who sees objects as they really are
She does her figuring and writing with
inverted characters, begins at the right
side of the slate or paper, and reads with
the book upside down. Objects within
two feet of her eyes look inverted, while
if removed further off they make the
same impression on her visionary organs
that they do on other peoples. Her
eyea are light blue, and have nothing
about their appearance to indicate them
less capable of performing their functions
than ordinary optics. They have been
examined by prominent specialists, but
no malfomation could be detected.

Whence Came the Comets!

The answer to the question: Whence
came the cometsl would appear to be:
/. Comets which visit our system from
without were expelled millions of years
ago from the interior of sun.
2. Comets which belong to our system
were mostly expelled from the interior of
giant planet in the sun-like state, but
small proportion may have been cap
tured from without.
3. The comets of whose past existence
meteor streams tell us were for the most
part expelled from our earth herself when
She was in the sun-like state, but some
of the more important were expelled
from the giant planets, and few may
have been expelled from sun. Professor

The upward jump in cotton comes too

The upward jump in cotton comes too
late for any general benefits to cotton
growers, most of whom have disposed of
their crop. Could cotton growers hold
their crop until the condition OF the
market was generally settled, they

southern planters get out of the clutches
Of the commission men, are not COM
PEELED to mortgage their crops for sup
plies before the crop is grown, they will
be infinitely better of than at present.

TEXAS cattlemen who are investing In
fine blooded cattle, particularly dairy
cattle, must look well to their importa-
tions and also to the herds they have in
range. Pleuro-pneumonia has appeared
in the Jersey herd OF w. j. Bellerton,
near Dallas, and there is no doubt that
it was brought in from Connersville,
Indiana. The most rigid precautions
should be taken to prevent the spread Of
this destructive contaglon. Should it
get foothold among our native herds,
the loss to the cattle interests Of this
state would be incalculable. The most
rigid inspection and quarantine will be
demanded now that the disease has I'M
questionably made its appearance, :.and
the Cattlemen's association will consult
their own interests by taking ms tant
steps to confine the disease to Its pres
ent location.
