A Mother,s Device.

A singular occurrence Is discussed
great deal In Rome just now. The son Of
the millionaire Bellar. living there, In
tended to travel around the world The
young mans mother was very much
troubled about her only child leaving her,
and tried to secure safe travelling CON-
panion for him. Advertisements appeared
during several days In all the principal
papers, inviting young men who wished
to accept such position to call at the
house. OF the numberless candidates
three were taken into consideration, and
they were invited to dinner, under the
pretext Of discussing the final arrange
ments.
When they had passed merry time over
dinner, and the dessert was served, the
lady Of the house then suddenly threw
herself on her knees before her husband,
crying out: II am a miserable wretch.
Despair has made me a murderess. The
pine apple cream is poisoned. You have
all to die" One of the young men began
to lament his sad fate, the second one re-
manned sitting on his chair, like one
turned to stone with fright, and the third
one ran to the door, calling out: There is
IN antidote for every poison. j will run
TO the doctor" The signora stopped him
on the threshold, saying: THE story is in.
vented see you have presence Of mind.
You shall accompany my dear child.-For-

Progress Of crsmatisn in France.

Progress Of Crsmatien In France.
The Parlsians will soon be able to burn
their dead in four crematory furnaces,
which have Just been finished at Pere- Ia
Chaise. These furnaces were begun last
November, and have been hurried ON to
completion, so that by the end Of August
at latest those who In dying express the
wish TO be crematsd can be there reduced
to ashes.
There will be no first. second, and third
class cremations. Poor and rich will be
on a footing of absolute equality. The
price charged to those who can afford
TO pay for the burning Of corpse will be
Is francs.
The furnaces were constructed on plans
by NM Barrett and Formice. A large
portico is In front of dome beneath which
are placed the crematory furnaces. They
have the appearance Of very elegant ovens.
Three hundred and fifty thousand f.ancs
was the price they cost. They are accord
ing TO the Corini system in use in Rome
and Milan. IL was found that the heat OF
the S.emens furnaces was too intense. In
stead Of reducing the corpse to ashes IL
subjected ii to q kind Of vitrification.
The cost, too, would be 300 francs instead
Of Is frsncs, to cremate with Siemens
furnace.
The unclaimed bodies at the hospital,
which are not used for anatomical pur-
poses will be taken to the crematory at
Pere-la- Chaise. Sculptors, goldsmlths,
and bronze casters are already busy de
signing urns, Of which an assortment in
marble, bronze, gold. silver, zinc, or lead
will be kept at an Office Of the crematory.
The relatives of the cremated dead can
buy these vessels. and cause them to be
removed to family vaults, or to a building
which the city of Paris to erect.-Pari,

He.torinr Color TO Fabrics.

The restoration Of color to fabrics which
from one cause or another have deterior-
ated In this respect has suggested vari-
Gus chemical applications and processes. II
has been customary to apply ammonia for
the purpose Of neutralizing acids that
have accidentally or otherwise destroyed
the color Of the stuffs, this being neces-
sarily applied Immediately, or the color Is
usually imperfectly restored An appli-
cation of chioroform has the effect OF
bringing out the colors as bright as ever.
Plush goods, and all articles dyed with
aniline colors, faded from exposure TO
light, resume their original brightness Of
appearance after being sponged with
chloroform: the commercial chloroform,
which is less costly than the purified, an

Disgraceful To he Sick.

Doubtless the time will come when It
will be considered little disgraceful to
be sick. Ignorance or disobedience Of the
laws Of health will be deemed superlative
folly, and the man who wastes his strength
will be mentioned in the same breath
with the idler and the spendthrift. We
may still sympathize with the invalid, but
II will be in deprecatory sort OF way.
such pity as we give to the man whose
buildings burn down uninsured, OF to the

our bodies as ministers do OF our conscl-

All whirIing Through space.


A careful comparison of the positions Of
the stars from one time to another shows
in many cases q real motion in space.
Really accurate ascertainment Of position
began in the time of Bradley, who lived
about the middle of the last century, Sc
that we have only the records Of little
over 100 years on which to base our knowl-
edge Of stellar proper motion" European
astronomers gave US In the last century
several catalogues Of stars which are re-
liable, and the work of comparison with
the present places has been undertaken
for q number of faint stars, the bright
ones having already been considered by
IN English gentleman, j. l. Il. Dreyer,
who has just published the results. By
such efforts as his. continued over cen
turtles Of time, 1t will be possible finally
to deal inteiligently with the great prob
lem of the motion of the universe as a
whole.
To appreciate the feeblepess of any eff
forts II confined to a single century, IL
must be remembered that the stars are so
immensely remote that but very few OF
them show any perceptible shifting OF
place as result of the motion of the earth
In its orbit. Hence any motion, rapid
though it might be, is scarcely perceptible
here. A change Of second OF arc a year,
which might be a perfectly amazing We
locity. would require $500 years TO carry
the star over a space in the sky equal to
that which the full moon covers. A SEQ
ond year is large proper motion.-Phil-

TWO ROSES.

1he one with heart Of flame he gave tt
her
Whose eyes yelled from his own sins
bitter cost,
With throbbing pulses and with heart
astir,
Entranced by eyes that held an Eden
lost.
The other-lily pale dropped on its stalk
He gave to her his souls pure love un'
stained,
Whose sanity eyes and sweet unworthy
talk
Held less an Eden lost than heaven 70
gained.
And when he died, one wept, but dried
her tears,
Serenely hopeful Of brighter day;
Against the others heart through dull,
slow years,
Till both alike were dust, the red rose
lay.

Hadn't Been introduced.

A good natured newspaper chap was at
o rustic picnic and rashly spoke to 0
young lady without the formality Of an
introduction. He happened to see a great
fat caterpillar crawling on her lace collar
and jumping toward her said:
IMadam, permit me to"
But the young lady waved him of with
an imperious and insulting gesture and
said: How dare you speak to me without
an introduction. You are certainly no
gentleman, sir"
Here the caterpillar overbalanced itself
and fell down into her neck.
"Youch! Obi Help! Take it of. oh
please do take 1t of, somebody" screamed
the fair one. The newspaper man was the
only somebody" around and he said: II

Professor Max Schiller, of Berlin, Is
convinced Of the superiority Of messages
over other measures employed In the
treatment Of sciatica, and relates his ex-
perience Of fifteen cases-all in males, and
except In one or two instances (which
were rheumatic) due to exposure to cold
Most Of the cases were dealt with from
the first by massage; but In a few in
stances, electricity, vapor baths, etc., had
been fruitlessly employed prior to coming
under his care.
The modus operandi Is as follows: The
patient lies on the unaffected side, with
knees aud hips slightly aexed. The course
of the sciatic nerve Is rubbed from below
upward, partly with both thumbs, partly
with the ball Of the little finger or thumb;
sometimes struck with the closed fist,
sometimes the muscular mass over the
nerve pressed and kneaded with both
hands The pain evoked by these manip.
ulations soon passes away, and after n
short time becomes less and less at each
sitting. The neuralgia pains very soon
abate, diminishing after severe and
painful massage, then recurring with less
severity, and gradually disappearing en-
tirely. The power of walking improves
after each sitting Lancet.

Correction Of Q Mistake.

An English paper tells an anecdote OF
an American lady. who was invited by the
prince and princess Of Wales to a garden
party, excusing herself from attending on
the grounds Of a previous engagement.
and il sneers at the American lady for not
knowing that royal invitations in tnis
country are commands. This" says
Vanity Fair, us all rubbish. The only
royal invitations that are commands are
those OF the sovereign herself. Neither
the invitations of the prince Of Wales nor
those OF the duke Of Teck or Prince Henry
of Battenberg are commands In any
sense of the word. The sovereign alone
can command her subjects on their allegi-
ance. and she can only command her own
subjects. Her power Of command does
not extend to an American or any other
foreigner. New York Sun.

Reversed Condition.. of somnambu,isn.

Reversed Conditions Of Somnambulism.
Like insanity, somnambulism may reverse
the ordinary tendencies and sentiments of
its victim Thus case Is reported Of q
Carthusian monk who was remarkable for
his candor and honesty while awake, but be-
came thief, robber, and plunderer of the
dead whom he walked in his sleep, and this,
unfortunately, occurred almost every night
a pious clergyman became genuine klepto-
maniac in his sleep; on one occasion he even
plundered his own church. A case occurred
in Maine, some years ago, in which the ten
dency was to suicide Watchers had to be
employed to prevent him carrying out this
idea, which did not occur while he was
awake. One night be escaped from his at
tendants, who soon heard an outcry from q
neighboring pasture On Investigation he
was found suspended by rope from the
limb of a tree When cut down he was
found unhurt, as he had tied the rope to his
feet instead of to his neck
Whatever acts the somnambulist commits
arc, necessarily, the outcome of the pre-
vatling ideas, which may be true or false.
Sometimes there is a confused condition Of
mind on awaking suddenly, especially after
great physical fatigue, which las been
named sleep drunkenness In this pre-
dominant idea is carried out in action.
Thus, two individuals having to stay over
night In place infested with robbers, one
watched while the other slept The sleeper
dreamed he was Icing pursued, and shot his
friend through the heart on being suddenly
aroused Globe Democrat.

Those who have followed English politics
have watched Gladstone gradually growing
to the occasion Year by year the course of
natural statesmanlike development has
brought him to the lofty plane whence the
fellow countrymen and proposed home rule
for Ireland.
He is the most splendid figure in European
craftsmanship to-day. If he carry home
rule for Ireland, he will be the gpandest figure
in Europe in the Nineteenth century. Bis
marck cemented a nation with blood and
iron, but Gladstone will have freed people
by the divine arts Of peace. 1t is better,
far better, to be Gladstone than Bismarck.
Undoubtedly the greatest day of the pre-
mier's life will be that on which he intro
duced his bill for home rule for Ireland. They
say there never was heard such cheering in
the house of commons in all tile centuries as
when he arose TO introduce his bill It was
so tremendous that it disconnected him lit
tie, and he paled before it when he first arose.
Very different is the English house of COM
mons from our American house of repre-
sentatives at Washington, and the difference
is not in favor Of the British organization
either. For one thing, an English member
has no particular seat through the season.
It is first come, first served. A member may
preserve a seat to himself for ono night by
putting his card into little brass receptacle
at the back of a chair. He may also secure a
squatter's claim by placing his hat upon a
chair beforehand. This is called "hatting, -"
and is very common. But it must be the
hat which the mcnber wears for the day;
consequently he is obliged to walk around
