Method of Preserving Bodies.

An account is given in The Revue Sci
entifique of an Italian method of pre-
serving bodies in soft and flexible state
for several months, and by this means
enabling them to be dissected without
any danger to the preparation or anato-
mist. To this end they are placed in
some sort of receptacle or other, and
covered with layer of the thickest and
purest honey that can be obtained. If
it be desired to preserve an entire ca
daver by this simple and inexpensive
process, the plan pursued is to begin by
carefully filling the encephalic, thoracic
and abdominal cavities with sufficient
quantity of tannin.
The process, when conducted with
care, is stated to give remarkable re-
suits, corpse thus prepared appearing
for several months to be asleep. In a
sense, the alcoholic fermentation that
occurs under these circumstances serves
it as food while preserving its softness
and fiexibility to degree strongly re-
sembling that of real life. When the
fermentation ceases, hardening of the
parts occurs, and renders the artistic
forms of the body still more Marked

After June "a, and until March 90,
next year-nearly nine months-we
were reduced to the dime novel stand
ard thirteen times; or, in short, there
were thirteen times when we were with
ont anything to eat in our camp Yet,
in this number of times, so good a
hunter was Toolooah, that we can not
say we lost a meal, although several
times we had to wait pretty late for it,
coupled with no small anxiety as to be-
ing able TO get it at all.
There was one conspicuous example
of the thirteen which | shall briefly de-
scribe. We were in Erebus bay, off
King Williams land, late in July, with
out scrap of meat to eat for the next
meal. As soon as Toolooah got in with
the oledge from off the bay ice from our
last camp, left in the morning, it was
intended that we should seek some game
inland for our next meal. When he
reached the shore where we were to
camp there was a prOverbial fog that
could not be cut with knife hanging
over the country, and | thought surely
our next meal was a good long ways off.
ToolOoah, with an Esquimau boy lead
ing dog by the harness trace. swung
his Winchester magazine gun over his
shoulders and disappeared in the dense
white clouds hugging the earth, l
thought he would do we'll if he sue
ceeded in finding his way back, even
without any game. In about three
hours he came into camp with the sad
die of a reindeer on his shoulder and
reporting that he had killed three, whose
carcassses were brought into camp next
morning. He had used the dogs nose
to find the deer making wide detour
and cutting across, the wind blowing
from the best grazing ground, where he
expected the animals might be, if in the
country at all. When the dogs nose
went up in the air, shifting and smelling,
he turned squarely against the wind, and
his score of animals told too well how
true his conjectures were. - Lieut.
Schwatka in Chicago Times.

Not dozen people in this city could
guess what was in little cigar box that
William A. Atkins, of Provincetown,
Cape Cod, had under his arm when he
was here. If you saw it on the sidewalk
you would take particular pains to pass
it by, but you would pass by a small
fortune. The yellow and unpleasant
looking and unpleasant-smelling stuff is
ambergris of the best quality and it il
worth more per ounce than gold. 1t is
found only in the intestines of a de-
ceased whale, and is used in the manu-
facture of fine colognes.
But one vessel this season has reported
a find of this sort, and that is the
schooner Antarctic, of Provincetown. A
whale that she killed in SAM bay, West
Indies, last April, yielded thirty pounds
of ambergris, and it has just arrived
home. 1t is worth nearly 10000, and
is of more value than all.the oil the YES
sci has on board. Mr.. Atkins, who il
the owner of the Antartic and is at the
head of the whaling industry of Cape
Cod, had sample of it in his cigar
box. AS no other ambergrs is likely to
be brought home this year he has a cor,
ner on the market.-New York Market

4 Freak of Nature

This is time of the year when every
other man complains that his feet hurt
him. 1t is always SO just before spring
sets in and before cold weather arrives.
1t is not because men wear tight shoes,
but it seems to be freak of. nature in
this climate. The rest of the body may
be pleasantly warm, but the feet seem
to be subject to heating process that
the loosest or most perfect fitting shoe
can not prevent. Shoemakers observe
that they have more complaint on ac-
count of shoes made during the two
periods | have mentioned than at any
other time during the year. | merely
state the fact from my own experience
and observation, and leave it for the
scientist or physician to explain.
Speaking of shoes, l wonder why it is
that boots have so largely fallen from
the grace of fashion. Ten years ago
men wore boots, now a shoe store will
not sell two dozen pairs during the win
ter. am speaking, however, only for
the city, as in the country boots are as
popular as ever. Perhaps there is good
reason for change. Boots are not as
dressy as shoes, and they are not bit
warmer than shoes, for the leather
gives little protection against cold to
the calves. -Globe-D Democrat.

Those who have held the noblest posi-
ton known to our form of government
attained it late in life Particularly is
this true of President Harrison, who was
the oldest of the presidents, being 81
years of age when he was elected. Bu-
chanan was 65 when he became chief
magistrate, and next to him. in point of
years was Zachary Taylor, the nero OF
Buena Vista. and the eleventh president
of the United States. John Adams,
Washington's successor, was 81, as also
was Andrew jackson, and both Madison
and Monroe and also John Quincy
Adams were 50 when they attained pres
idential honors. Washington, jefferson,
and Martin Van Buren, were each 81,

idents have been shorter lived than the
chief magistrates of the earlier period.

Greenough's statue of Franklin.

A Boston newspaper man says that
Greenoughs statue of Franklin in that
city is worth studying, because it illus
trates theory for which the sculptor
had the authority of the great physlog-
nomist, Lavater. 1t is that each of the
human face represents different phases
of human nature, man being dual ami
NAL, with double set of characters
tics. On one side of the bronze face of
Franklin, Greenough has depicted the ex-
preston of the man of science who drew
the lightning from the clouds; on the
other he has represented the features of
the author of the homely philosophy
embodied in "Poor Richards Almanac"

Agassiz and the Chestnut Bell.

The chestnut bell'is the latest varia-
ton of the method of che king old
stories | don't think old stories ought
to be checked. If they're good enough
to live a few centuries, 30 much the bet
ter. Cont believe in killing anything,
not even a chestnut. But suppose the
ancient Persians had some way of show
ing thplr recognition of old stories, and
very likely when the tars of Tyre and
Sidon came in off cruise with purple
dyes and things, and sat over their grog
in the taproom or beer cellar of the
period, some signal stopped the nara
ton of the venerable maritime chestnut
Even in San Diego great many years
ago they had heard all the stories be-
fore. When Agassiz stopped there for
a brief spell, and imperled his digestion
at the hotel of the time. he fell into a
crowd who had exhausted their after
dinner conversation, and fallen so des-
perately back on old Joe Millerisms that
whenever a man began to tell an old
story every fellow as he recognized it
put his spoon across his glass. Agassiz
had not noticed this very much, but
catching une spirit OF tne crowd, he
started in to telling stories. He had
hardly begun the first when a fellow put
his spoon on his glass; and most of the
boys followed. Being a scientist, he
was slow to take any notice of this
cranky proceeding. 1t came to the third
story, and when he got through every
spoon was on every glass on the table.
But they pretended to laugh. Then one
of the circle began, and the second spoon
stopped him dead.
what does it mean?" Agassiz asked
of his neighbor.

story we put our spoons up like that to
show we've all heard it before"

In the present extensive use of timber
and lumber, only the toughest approx
mate estimate is possible Of the annual
loss by fungi and the amount Of loss
can be indicated in only a. few items.
The cost of replacing decayed ties by
the railways of the United States for
1885 exceeded $50, 100000 Repairs of
station buildings and road crossings,
S1S, 100000. Repairs of wooden and
wood parts of bridges, IS. 25O, 900 (esti-
mated). Repairs of freight cars, $22,
800, 600 (estimatedD. Repairs of passen-
ger cars, $500, 900 (estimated). The
renewal of telegraph poles and fixtures
on 100, 600 miles of line constitutes a
large item.
The loss to the agricultural interests is
much greater. The tenth census re-
ports the cost of fencing in 1879 at ST.
163, ALB, the most of which was for re-
pairs. The loss caused by fungi on the
5000. 900 dwellings, with their accom-
panying buildings, and the $4O6, $40, O55
worth of agricultural implements which
appears III the census reports, and that
on the q, 654, 997 tons of marine and on
wharves above water, form other large
items. The lumber interests are also a
great loser through the quantities of
timber that are destroyed in store. The
mere mention of these facts makes it
evident that the regular annual loss
from this source must be rated at many
million dollars. - Popular Science

AN AUTUMN DAY.

Leaden skies and a lonesome shadow
Where summer has passed with her COR.
geous train.
Snow on the mountain and frost on the
meadow
white face pressed to the window pane
A cold mist falling, a bleak wind calling,
And oh! hut life seems vain
Rain is better than golden weather
When hearts are chilled with a dumb de-
spair.
Dead leaves lie where they walked to-
gether.
The hammock is gone and the rustic chair
Let bleak SHOWS cover the whole world
1t will never again seem fair.
Why should the beautiful, passionate Sum-
mer
Always leave pain where her footsteps
have trod,
Hopes that were brought by this treacherous
conner,
Chilled like her roses lay crushed on the
sod.
Yet love dead with sorrow may spring up to-
morrow,
And bloom like the garden of God
Time laughs lightly at youths sad never"
Summer shall come again smiling once
more,
High Ger the cold world the sun shines for
ever
Hearts that seem dead are alive at the
core
Oh but the pain of it! OH but the gain
OF it
After the shadows pass DER.

A merchant of Athens was recently
captured by Greek brigands who carried
him off to the mountains, whence he
wrote letter to his wife recounting his
misfortunes, and containing the follow
ing most important passage: My ran
som is fixed at 1000 drachmas; if the
brigands do not receive this sum by the
18th inst. they will cut off my nose; the
10th my ears; the 18th my upper lip; the
18th my lower lip, and the 18th, if the
money is not forthcoming, they will kill
me" The poor woman used her best
efforts to procure the required amount,
but it was not until the evening of the
18th that she had managed to scrape to-
gether the 1000 drachmas for her hus-
bands ransom. She then said to a neigh
Dor: MY husband must look perfect
fright by this time. think l will
keep the 1000 drachmas to make bet

Harrison, the colored body servant of
Gen. Grant, is earning living as a COM
positor in the government printing
house at Washington. A typesetter
who has been working alongside of Har-
rison tells this story with reference to
what Gen. Grant desired should be his
last resting place Two or three days
before the general died, he called Harri-
son to him and wrote a note on one of
the pads that he always kept at his ell
bow. 1t was a statement of where he
wished to be buried. He was in the
habit of writing messages of this kind
and handing them to Harrison, and
sometimes gave directions to the colored
man in writing, so that Harrison felt
free. as he stood there awaiting the gem
erals instructions. to read what he had
written. The general folded the note
and placed it in an envelope and told
Harrison to deliver it to Mrs
Grant three days after he should die.
The note was actually delivered on the
second day after the generals death,
instead of the third, because OF the pres
sure that had been brought to bear on
Mrs. Grant on this subject Harrison
refuses 10 answer any questions regard
ing the contents of the note except that
when asked if the general is buried in
accordance with his wishes he replies
in the negative. New York Tribune.
