A CAROL OF COOKERY.

My face is very wan and pale,
My wasted cheeks are haggard;
My trembling limbs their office fail.
And make me seem laggard.
My wonted grace has gone; indeed
My smile Is now sardonic,
In short, seem in grievOus need
OF some effective tonic.
My friends who, in the days of old
When l was strong and healthy.
Admired me, have all grown cold,
AS II l were not wealthy.
You ask to what this change is due?
A very natural question,
answer I'm victim to
Most awful indigestion.
Some lady friends of mine. you see,
Both homely and goOd-loOking,
Have organized quite recently
A ladies' school for cooking.
To cook well is their fondest wish,
And, as they are not wasteful,
They have me try each novel dish
To see If it is tasteful.
Their doughy cake, their pale 'puff-paste''
Aud all suspicious viands
Are not allowed to go TO waste;
All find their way to my hands.
All, woe is mel I've learned with pain
That when girls make custard,
The useful egg they quite disdain,
But put in lots of mustard.
They've done their best of me to make
A useful kitchen fixture.
know the taste Of wedding-cake
When favored with cough-mixture.
There's Charlotte, sprghtliest OF girls,
Whose schemes oft have their uses,
I've learned to flee when she unfurls
Her subtle Charlotte lusses.
Their pies and biscuits make me sick,
Their puddlngs, too, OF sue,
Their coffee, oh, 50 black and thick!
drink it, but rue it,
Although I'd love without demur
Each culinary fairy,
A hotter cline I'd much prefer
To this place cool an airy.

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
DR.. Bauer of Yale Nearly Killed by the Ex-
plosion of an Ostrich Egg.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 20.-.Ahout 9
o'clock this morning terrible shaking
was felt in the Peabody museum at
Yale College, and after thorough
search had been made DR.. George Bauer,
fessor O. c. March, was found lying in
sensible in the basement, covered with
blood and the most obnoxious smelling
stuff that chemical laboratory can
generate. ~
1t seems that in November, 1886, Il
friend OF DR.. Bauer's in South Africa
had shipped him box containing four
ostrich eggs. This parcel was shipped
on board the bark Aurelia, which was
wrecked near Trinidad on her way to
New York. y few things were saved,
and among them this box OF ostrich
eggs. \ few days ago the doctor, re-
ceired notice of their arrival in New
York after their years journey, and
sending on money the package was sent
him. arriving here early this morning.
With the ardent interest of scient-
ist, as soon as he received the box he
took it into the basement to examine
the contents. Taking pointed in
strument, he cut small, circular holes
in the ends of the eggs, and set cut to
remove the contents. Two were dis
emboweled. Taking Il towel, he placed
it round the third and began to plunge
the file through the shell. This towel
probably saved the doctors eyesight, for
when a small hole had been made 4
Kissing sound followed, and the next
the scientist knew was several minutes
afterwards when he found himself on
the floor, having been insensible about
ten minutes. Happily his wounds
proved to be only flesh ones.
The egg that exploded weighed three
pounds and half and was eighteen
inches and half in circumference. Its
contents were equal to that of twenty
five hens eggs. The first two eggs had
been previously punctured and treated
with sulphate Of mercury, which pre-
vented their fermentation, but this
third one was neglected and its con-
tents generated terrible gas which,
when the slightest indentation was
made caused the shell to weaken anil
explode. The shell was SO hard that it
took IL heavy hammer to crush pieces Of
it. This is in unparalleled scientific
phenomena and has created great eN-
citement in this city.

the water, about mile South and
about ten miles from this city. The

in the rigging. They were Immediate

buried beyond recovery, and it IS be-
lievcd that quite a number that now
are on the beach will prove total loss
The loss of life is appalling; II persons
are known to have perlshed, and the

list will be swellcd to nearly 80. The

istence Will not exceed 5000.

All About II Girl.

COLUMBIA, November 22.-This
morning Python Williams, charged
with the murder Of IIesekiah Green,
was committed to the Richland County
jail by Trial Justice j. W. Taylor. The
killing seems to have been Il clear case
of cowardly murder, prompted by jeal-
ously. The substance of the infOrma-
tion gathered from the witnesses was to
the effect that on Saturday evening Py-
thon Williams went to Eastover with
his gun and bought shot and powder.
He loaded his weapon, a rifle resembling
Il small cannon, which probably figured
in the Revolutionary war, and then III
vitel one Of the witnesses to join him,
saying that he was going Il short dis
tance and might shoot something. They
had gone but few steps when they
met Hesekiah Green, who also had Il
gun. Williams asked Green to accom-
pany him for little way, and then
suddenly turned to him, saying, 81 am
going to try Il shot ut you" and dis
charged the contents of his gun. The
load of large shot penetrated the abdo-
men of Green, who died shortly after
wards. Upon Green's falling to the
ground Williams is stated to have said
that he had spite against him anyhow
for being on Il familiar footing with
some girl of their acquaintance. The
two men had quarrcllcd Il few Sundays
ago about the same girl. All parties,
witnesses and principals, were cOlOred
and comparatively young.

ATTHE GATESOF HEAVEN.
Maggie Beadling's Trance and What She
Alleges the Lord Revealed to Her.

PITTsBURG, Pa, November 18.-For
many weeks back, according to the
statements of her parents, Maggie
Detailing, the daughter of James Bead
ling, a coal miner, near this city, has
been in a trance, during which she has
only taken the smallest amount OF
liquid. She has now awakened and
scores ofpeople daily crowd around her
bed TO hear the strange story she has to
relate.
Maggie does not admit that she has
been sick. She insists she has "only
been away" while her friends speak OF
her having "come back"
"When / first lost consciousness" she
said to Herald correspondent to-day,
sail seemed dark to me. Then bright
light Suddenly burst forth, and then
appeared two angels dressed in white,
with long wings and hayin5 crowns on
their taads. They were my grand
mothersand aunt. My aunt, who died
three years ago, told me the other angel
was my grandmother, whom I had
never seen. They bore me on their
wings to the bank of river. This
river was crossed in boat which was
moved by some invisible power. When
we reached the opposite shore we found
the Saviour standing to receive us. He
guidedus up narrow path to the gates
Of heaven, but I was not allowed to
pass them. Sounds OF beautiful music
burst upon my ear, and angels, some of
whomJ had known on earth, fitted to
and froswith harps in their hands"
"Didsyou see God?"
"Oh,yeS. But l must not say what
lie isiike. 1 was told never to reveal
certain things I saw, but God told me
that when returned to earth | was to
write a book describing some Of the
wonders Of heaven. This | am to do
in retttfn for what the Lord did for
me, and the book is not to be sold for
my advantage"
Many of the people of Banksville
really4believe the girl has had reyela-
tiOn andthat she met her dead relatives
up in heaven. Her father says he in
tends to get the editor Of the Pittsburg
Christian Advocate to write the story
which he thinks is too holy for daily
paper. He, two disavows any inten-
tion of:tnaking money out of Ntaggics

out ofshe book" he says, ''it will be de-
voted to some benevolent institution
Mrs. Beading, on the other hand, looks

are poor there is no reason whatever

A BAD PREACHER.
Who Sent His Wife to an Asylum Because
OF Her Liberal Views.

MINNEArOLIS, November 15.-At to-
DAYS meeting OF the Orthodox Clergy
Mrs. j.. p. ". Packard. OF Chicago, ap-
pearcd and asked the endorsement OF
the association for bill which she pro-
poses to bring before the Legislature,
providing that every patient III any
asylum shall he permitted to write one
letter a WeelHEtO any individual he
chooses without being subjected to the
Superintendent's surveillance. She said
that she had been convinced of the need
Of such law by Il bitter experience,
which she related.
Mrs. Packard is the daughter Of Y
Massachusetts Congregational clergy
man, and married Il minister of the
same denomination, who became pastor
of IL Presbyterian Church ut MantenO,
ILL.,, and was Il member Of the Chicago
Presbytery. In the course Of time her
religious views changed, and she no
longer adhered to the creed OF the Con-
gregational Church. She represents
that her husband became alarmed at
her liberal views and their possible ef-
feet, and as means of defense, got her
committed to the Jacksonville Insane
Asylum. She insists that there were
no evidences OF insanity about her. and
that she was not examined. She left at
home six children, the youngest an in
FAINT of Is months. An effort was made
by her friends to secure her release, but
it was frustrated by the refusal Of her
husband to give his consent. Her only
other course was to make application
to the court by letter. She wrote the
application but claims that it was in
tercepted by the Superintendent, who
was in sympathy with her husband.
She was kept in the asylum for three
years, as she believes, simply because
she could not send that letter. She
finally managed by Strategem to get
the communication sent. and Il habenS
corpus was obtained. The result Of a
long trial was her release. She added
that ner husband had left the country,
taking all the property and the minor
children. and leaving her helpless.
The pastors appointed 4 conlnlttc"
to investigate the matter.
