A QUEER DEFENSE.

The London Socialists EndeavOring to De-
fend Their Utterances by Precedents Pre-
scented in Parliamentary Debate--A Flat
Failure.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The prediction
made in the dispatches few nights ago
that the Socialist attempt to force gov
eminent ministers to defend themselves
in court would be fiasco, has been veri-
fled by yesterdays proceedings. Mr..
Chamberlain TOOK the stand, but every
question asked by the accused and their
counsel was ruled out on technical
grounds. The argument used by Bar
rister Williams that the president of the
local government board and other minis
tiers had employed more seditious
language in the House of Commons than
had been uttered by the leaders of
the riots, evoked laughter among
the members of the bar who had
assembled in court to witness the trial
The Judge snubbed Mr.. Williams by a
question whether he had heard of the
statutes exempting members of Parlia-
ment from accountability for language
used in debate ON public policy. 1t is
conceded that the accused would have
stood a better chance of acquittal If they
had taken a different line of defense. 1t
is stated that Sir R. E. Webster
Attorney General under the late Con-
servative government, would have de-
Tended the prisoners if they had relied
upon the plea that the Indifference of the
Home Office had rendered the condition
of the people precarious, and justified a
public demonstration and appeal for aid;
but Messrs Burns and Champion insisted
npon the present theatrical lines of de-
tense, and Mr.. Webster declined a re.

PRETTY SCREENS.
Indispensable Decorations for the BE
Room and Dining-Room.

Indispensable Decorations for the Bed
Room and Dining-Room.
For chamber which is not supplied
with an adjoining dressing-room there
should always be provided a good-sized
screen to shut off the corner occupied
by the wash-stand and its appurtenances.
The screen may be elaborate or simple,
as the case dictates. A frame of two
panels, made by carpenter, each meas
uring three feet in breadth by four in
height, and joined by hinges, will cost
about dollar. The amount of material
required for covering this will depend, of
course, upon the stuff used. OF stout
silesia, in cream, old gold, scarlet or
dark green, selling at thirty cents a
yard, three yards and a half will be a
liberal allowance for one side of both
panels 1t may be lined or not, as pre-
ferred. If the frame is implanted care
must be taken in purchasing the goods
to provide enough to conceal the bare
wood 1t is not difficult to cover the
frame neatly. If desired, however, the
wood may be stained; yellow pine, var
nished, looks we'll and is cheap, while
ash, walnut and cherry cost tritie
more. If silesia is deemed inadvisable
for the bedroom screen, cretonne does
good service.
In the dining-room felt covering Is
pretty. This material comes in nearly
all shades. For a screen OF the dimen-
sions named above a yard and three
quarters will be sufficient, as the cloth
IS two yards wide. 1t costs from one
dollar to one dollar and twenty-five
cents yard. 1t may be employed for
the outside of the screen, while the in
side is lined with silesia in contrasting
color. A neat and Frightening effect is
added by finishing the felt with brass
tacks driven in the frame about five
inches apart.
A very fair imitation of the Japanese
screens so much used may be contrived
with little difficulty at a reasonable cost.
A frame made in three panels, each five
feet high by two wide, should be care
fully ebonized or gilded. On each panel
must be tackled a closely drawn oblong
of black muslin or silesia, and the edges
finished with a neat cord or gimp. These
panels must then each be adorned with
an ordinary Japanese wall picture, such
as may be purchased at almost any shop
where decorative materials are sold.
For securing the pictures good muci-
lage, flour paste, or gum tragacanth
will serve, great pains being observed to
paste them on perfectly straight.-Phal-

found him out, and would cheer him to
the echo until he would be compelled
to show himself. He was so modest
about this that Mrs. Hancock said she
could scarcely get him to the opera
with her, so much afraid was he that
it looked like a bid for popularity.
The Democrats in Congress have had
a very serious idea for long time to
have the grade of General of the army
re-established, and to put General Han.
cock in the place. Besides the tribute
to him, it would put Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Sheridan's nose out of joint. and
the Southern Democrats can not forget
the savagery of Sheridan's warfare.
They said it would make an example
of the way the better sense of the re-
public regarded the difference between
civilized and uncivilized warfare. Not
one word, however, did they ever get
out of General Hancock on the subject.
Half the Democratic members of Con-
gress had been his electors, but any
thing like scheming was foreign to Gen
eral Hancock's nature.
On the Sunday night week before
his death, when his mortal illness was
already upon him, an officer going
away on sick leave called to tell him
goodbye. General Hancock treated
his illness lightly, but the officer said:
General, you look to me like q sicker
man than / am" On leaving General
Hancock said: "You seem to be lit
tie hoarse; here" He went to a drawer
and got out fine, white muller. ''But
l don't like to rob you of this" said
the officer. keep it; keep it, replied
General Hancock, in his hearty way, as,
with his own hands, he tied it around
the officers throat and fastened it Sc
curely. This little thoughtful act was
typical of the man. AS generous as
the day is long, he forgot himself for
his friend-and this he had been doing,
consistently, all the days of his life

A BARBER'S INVENTION.
Decidedly Novel Method of Manipulating
Railway Trains in Stations.

Decidedly Novel Method of MANIPULATING.
Railway Trains in Stations.
A. F. Godfrey, a hair-dresser and
dealer of st. Louis, has invented a
method of taking up and discharging-
passengers and goods FROM railway
trains which is decidedly novel. The
working model and drawings show a
main track on the level and an elevated
track in front of an elevated station
with inclined tracks leading to it. The
idea is to start train from one termip-
us and not have to stop or slacken
speed until it reaches the other. .At
the same time passengers may be taken
up or discharged at any station. As
train reaches a station on the main
track, the rear car switches off and
runs up the inclined plane to the ele-
waited station, and at the same time an.
other car run down the other inclined
plane, is caught by the passing train.
Wh1rled on to the main track, and be-
comes part of the train. The passen-
gers who desire to stop at the next sta
ton pass to the rear car, which is side
tracked as was the previous one, and
another car load of passengers is taken
on. by a very simple contrivance.
winch acts automatically, when a train
gets within a certain distance of sta
tlon 1t releases the car in waiting,
winch starts down the inclined plane
just as the last car of the train ia
switcned on and starts up on the other
side: Ibis transfer is made without
Jerking or danger of derailing, and the
passengers would not be aware of the
operation OF coupling and uncoupling.

CONSUMPTION.
Interesting Figures Relative to tho Preva-
lence Of This Disease.

lence Of This Disease.
Throughout the civilized world more
persons die of consumption than of any
other single disease. In England, ac-
cording to the report of the Registrar
General, the yearly average of deaths
from consumption is lila per cent. of
the whole number of deaths from all
causes, and 2.58 for every 1000 of pop
ulation. In America the proportion
varies greatly in different localities.
A comparison of the registration re-
ports of the States of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut reveals
some facts of interest applying especially
to New England. The proportion of
deaths from this cause in the three States
named was as follows: In New Hamp-
shire, in 1882, Is per cent. of all deaths,
or 2. 10 per 1000 population; in Massa-
chusetts, in 1882, nearly IS per cent. of
all deaths, or sos per 1000 population;
in Connecticut, in 1882, - per cent. of
deaths, or 2.32 per 1000 population.
Thus Massachusetts shows the highest
death-rate. both relatively and absolute
", while Connecticut has the smallest
in proportion to the whole number of
deaths, and New Hampshire the smallest
in proportion to the population.
The influence of altitude, moisture
and prevailing winds is shown by
contrasting different localities in the
same State. Thus, in the White noun
tain region of New Hampshire, the
mortality from consumption is only 1928
per 1000 of population each year, while
in Rockingham County, the only one in
the State which borders on the Atlantic
Ocean. it is 2.O5 per 1000. In the vicin-
ity of Cape Cod in Massachusetts,, it is
3.45 per 1000, while among the Berk-
shire hills, in the western part of the
State, it is but PIG per 1000. In New
Haven County, Connecticut, which bor-
ders on Long Island Sound and consists
mainly of lowlands, it is 2.6O per 1000;
while among the mountains of Itch
field County it is only 1.57 per 1000.
Among the foreign-born population
the influence of nationality is very
marked. The Irish die of consumption
in much large numbers than their due
proportion to the population, while
the Germans, English, French, and
most other foreigners, suffer less than
their due proportion.
Of the sexes the proportion among
males is to that among females very
nearly as 6 to Z. All ages, from the
cradle to the grave, suffer from this
dread disease. Considered by decades,
the number of deaths in proportion to
the whole number living is least from
birth to ten years. and greatest from
twenty to thirty years. Regarding the
season of the year at which deaths oc-
cur, there is no marked difference, but
the months of March and April show a
slight excess. Concerning the cause of
the disease, the influence of heredity is
well marked in about Is per cent. of all
cases, according to the experience of
Dr. Loomis This influence is seen
more strongly in women than in men.
In case but one parent is affected,
mothers transmit more frequently than
fathers, while the father is more apt to
transmit it to the sons, and the mother
to the daughters. -CongregationaliS.

VIENNA, Feb. ga number Of Servian
Engineer officers and large force OF sap
,pers and miners are working night and
day to put the defences of Belgrade into
An efficient state of preparation for pos
sible naval attacks upon the capital by
the Bulgarians. Immense quantities of
rifles, cartridges and other war materials
have been going on to Servia by way of
Nissa and Belgrade, for several weeks
past, but importations have suddenly
ceased within the past few days. This
stoppage of supplies is attributed to the
failure of the Servian government to
make payments for arms and ammunition
at the times called for in the contracts.
There are various other indications that
the Servian treasury is nearly depleted.
Orders for artillery horses which had
been sent to Hungary have been counter
manded for want of money to pay for
them on delivery, as demanded by the
Hungarians. acquisitions for food sup
plies, clothing, tents, ETC., for the army
are made on the merchants OF Belgrade
and Nj SSa, and on farmers throughout
Servia, who are compelled to furnish
supplies under penalty OF be-
ing shot, and to accept
in payment quartermaster's warrants
on the State treasury which cannot now
be negotiated at any discount. The Gov
eminent has attempted to manufacture
its own ammunition, but the attempt has
been a complete failure. In a word the
financial condition of Servia is rapidly
approaching bankruptcy, and this very
fact is the strongest argument in the
minds of the Servians for vigorous re-
newal of hostilities Immediately upon the
expiration of the present truce at mid
night next Sunday.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-News from Servia
continues to be of disquieting nature.
A Vienna dispatch says that renewal of
hostilities on Monday is looked upon as
certain, as King Milan is in SO dangerous
q position that he has nothing to
lose and everything to gain by a
desperate movement. The cabal in favor
of the Karageorgevitch is growing in
strength, and the overburdened people
are ripe for revolt unless some coup
d'etat by the King restores their conf.
dence in the existing government, and Of
ferS some hope of popular relief.
