THE MIND AND THE LEGS.
Scientific Relation Between the two
 Ends ofthe Human Being.

Ends Ofthe Human Being.
 [From the Denver Tribune Republican,
 Men generally cross their legs when there is the least pressure on their minds. You will never find man actually engaged in business with his legs crossed. The limbs at those times are straighter than at any other, because the mind and body work to- gether. A man engaged in auditing accounts will never cross his legs; neither will man who is writing an article, or who is employed in any manner where his brain is actively engaged; when at work in sitting posture the limbs naturally extend to the floor in a perfectly straight line. A man may cross his legs if he is sitting in office chair discuss ing some business proposition with another man, but the instant he becomes really in earnest and perceives something to be gained, his limbs uncross quick as flash, he bends forward toward his neighbor, and begins to use his hands. That is phase that believe you will always observe.
 Men often cross their legs at public meet ings, because they go there to listen or to be performance, and they naturally place tn em- selves in the most comfortable position known to them, namely, that of leaning we'll back in their chairs and d'crossing their legs. A nan always crosses his legs when he reads newspaper, but is more apt to lie down when he reads book. He reads the paper, of course, to inform himself, but at the same time the perusa1 of it's contents is recreation to him, and the body again seeks it's position of relaxation.
 When man is reading newspaper and waiting for his breakfast his legs are always crossed but soon as the breakfast is brough t to him he puts the paper aside, straightens out his legs and goes to work; that is, begins to eat, his mind now turning on the duties of the day before him. Men cross their legs in ball room, but it is far from an elegant thing to do, and is not done by those who have been brought up in good society. It is your "three-penny bit young man" who crosses his legs at ball, and, would you be- lieve it, I have seen young ladies do. the same thing

Then the burner after time gets gummed up, and the even flow of oil is disturbed and causes smoky, uneven light that is very vexatious. l have had burners brought into my store condemned and a new one wanted, when by two minutes work they were made as good as new. Then when the wick needs cutting some scrape it off; others cut it so uneven that it makes pointy blaze which so pro- vokes one that he wants to condemn it. If a little reason were in every day life we should soon find many troubles easy to overcome but things go on in slipshod manner with no attempt to improve them. But to resume: The burner is provided with 8 great number of small holes to provide air, to the end that perfect combustion may take place, and not to collect dust and dirt until they are all closed up and smoky, bad-smelling light is the result Now in using kerosene, if we fill the lamp up with wbite oil every day, and once week empty out the oil in the lamp and use new wick, cut even and true once a week or two weeks, and be sure the lamp burner is clean, and clear, polished chim- ney used, we will find that the kerosene lamp is d cheap and great luxury, and not neces- sary nuisance. A little care daily in using lamps makes all the difference between lux lry and nuisance.

A Noble Deed.

 The behavior of the police who fought and dispersed the mob at Chicago last week has received much praise, but the words of com mendation bestowed on those brave men are poor and feeble in comparison with what they deserve.
 They were civil force suddenly called upon to face dangers that might well have discouraged the most seasoned soldiers; and yet their-courage never slackened, and they were in no wise deterred from the perform ance of their perilous duty.
 A dynamite bomb was thrown into their slender ranks with terrible effect, but they kept on undaunted, though the deafening ex- plosion announced to them that they were dealing with fiends who had armed them selves with a weapon against which they could make no defense, and of whose fright fully destructive power they were we'll aware.
 Of course the Thug who flung the bomb expected that it would strike terror among the policemen, and that in their confusion they would be at the mercy of the armed mob, which would then be able to satisfy it's thirst for blood, and even to bring the whole town under subjection to it's fury. Had not all London only short time before trembled with fear of mob that had subdued the po- lice?
 But instead of blanching and breaking, these heroic Chicago policemen kept their ranks and returned fire for fire like veteran soldiers on the field of battle, though regular warfare never taxes the courage and endu- rance of men as theirs was taxed for they felt that they were encountering engines of destruction that could be easily concealed, and which yet were terrible beyond examole They were fighting against devils and not men, internal machines and not those which belong to civilized war. But they did not cease until they had won blood victory, with ranks thinned by the wretches with whom they contended.
 All honor then to these heroes! May their courage and self-devotion never be forgot ten, for their battle deserves to be ranked with those historic conflicts in which man. hood has made it's most splendid exhibitionl They fought too for freedom, for right, for justice, for civilization, and for the highest good of their fellow men; and never was a better victory won.

BEREAVEMENT OF DEATH.
Miss Bayard's Letter-Curfous Case of
 Her Cousin.


 From the Philadelphia Times
 The subject of presentiment concerning death and fatality in families, spoken of in Hancock's case, recalls some sad points in the Bayard history. It is said that Miss Bay ard wrote letter indicating her approaching death. There are now in Washington many old naval officers who remember the interest ing circumstance attending the death of Miss Bayards cousin, Charles c. Bayard, at Mount Vesuyius. He was the favorite son of Richard Bayard, of Philadelphia, whose father and Secretary Bayard's father were brothers In 1843, while on beard the Uni ted States ship Congress, in company with several young friends from on board, he made the ascent of Mount Vesuvius. It was the same Congress that went down in Hamp ton roads before the Merrimac, and in the party was the same Joseph Smith, who, as commander of the Congress, had his head taken off by 8 cannon ball, and of whom his father said when he heard that the Congress was taken: "Then Joe is dead" In the party also was Lehman B. Ashmead, of Phil adelphia, with whom young Bayard after ward went to Jerusalem to visit the Holy Sepulcher. While there they both had tat tooed on their arms by an old dragoman the heraldic arms of Jerusalem, with the date of their visit. In the case of young Bayard the tattoeed cross developed virulent features, festered and finally he became sick and the arm became greatly swollen. He continual ly declared that he would die and even after it appeared to grow entirely we'll he in the habit of saying to MT. Ashmaad and oth CT friends: ''This arm will be the death of me yet'' Ten years sfterward young Bayard left for cruise in the Columbia as flag lieu tenant of Commander Morris. Before leav ing he took sad farewell of all his friends here and declared to one and all that 'they would never zee him again." He was very dejected and Respondent. Ten years to a day from his previous visit, in company with young Carroll Tucker of Marylas,d and few friends, the Columbia being then at Naples, he made the ascent of Vesuvius during an eruption. With him were Rear-Admiral Simpson and Rear-Admiral Calhoun, who were then lieutenants. He had the arm of a Prussian army officer. He was quite gay. Near the Hermitage, where he had halted ten years before, the party stopped, finding it would be dangerous to go nearer the crater. As they were turning 8 mass of lava and rock struck young Bayard on the arm where he had been tattood, cutting it faarfully and oblitsrating the cross, and before the party could reach the foot of the volcano he died. His mother is still living, upward of ninety years of age. His body is buried near the foot of Vesuvius.

SEW HAVEN CONN, THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 13 1886

corning this audaeious complaint: The an-
 swer to all such talk is that those who put
 themselves outside the pale of law have no
 right to appeal to the law for protection.
 Further than this, the law can never be in
 yoked in aid of lawlessness. The Arbeiter
 Zeitnng was 8 journal the whole and sole ob-
 ject of which was to incite it's readers to break the law and commit the most atrocious crimes against society. No such sheet is en- titled to seek the shelter of the Constitution. Its relation to the community is not that of a legitimate business undertaking, but that of an avowedly criminal enterprise, the re- striction, or if need be, the suppression of which should be regarded simply police measure, necessary for the security of the public. The time has come wbsn the absurd belief of foreign Anarchists that freedom im- plies the right to attack tte foundations of society and to defy all law and all morality must be swept away. ordered liberty alone is what the Constitution and the laws pro- vide for, and those Kho cannot live under this system are altogether out of place in this republic.

First lamp is bought and fit ted for use, and then filled day after day, and after longer or shorter period does not give as good light as it used to- Then come complaints to the oil man or grocer about the quality of the oil, when little reason and judgment used would remedy the fault and remove the cause of complaint.

COSTLY ExPERIMENT

COSTLY EXPERIMENT. One of the results of the great labor move ment is made apparent by the complaint of we'll known New York architect. Six months ago it looked as if the New York architects would be overwhelmed with work for the next year to come; as it by com mon consent investors had turned from Wall street and were putting their money into real estate. Every man with dozen lots in the uptown districts wanted to put up at least one house in order to help along the property and the noise of the steam drill was incessant in neighborhoods where excavations had to be made in rock. There was apparently end of work ahead for everyone connected with the building trades and wages were excellent. Then the agitators of the labor unions began their work and unsettled confidence so completely that instead of year of plenty there is like ly to be year of famine.
 It is suggested by the architect above re- ferred to that the only way out of the treu- ble for the present is for owners. to share the risk by agreeing to bear part of the in crease in wages, if there should be any, and to hold the contractor free from blame in case of delays caused by strikes. and he fur ther remarks: But of course very few people are willing to build at all under such circum stances and doubt if one-half of the build ings for which permits have been obtained from the Building bureau during the last SIX months are begun at all this year. The busi- ness has been pretty we'll killed by the men who will suffer most by the collapse. If the labor unions are alive to their own interests they will make haste to guarantee that wages and hours of labor will remain as they are for at least one year. After the build ings now under way are finished there will be period of stagnation for which the sui fering workmen will have to thank their leaders.
 What is true of building in New York is true of building in many other places. And in other ways the organized workingmen will find that their experiment is a costly one.
