A gray coat has been hung in case at
the National museum near the collection
of relics of the Confederacy. This coat
was a Confederate officers coat, and
though such garments were worn by
thousands of men less than twenty five
years ago, they are regarded as rare
curiosities.
The cloth, which is gray, is not of very
fine texture. 1t is a frock coat, with
cuffs and military collar faced with blue.
The sleeves are embroidered with gold
braid. There is no shoulder-straps, but
instead three bars on the collar indicate
the rank of the wearer. The buttons
are similar to United States buttons, ex-
cept there is no lettering upon them.
They have embossed upon them the
American spread eagle, with the Union
shield upon its breast. and surrounded
by galaxy of stars. Mr.. Howard Clark,
who has charge of the historical collec-
ton, expects soon to obtain possession of
a coat of an engineer officer in the Con-
federate service.

An Appetite for Hot Water.

1t is said that people who have been
in the habit of drinking hot water as a
medicine for some time, form an appe-
tite for it that is difficult to break. They
want it hotter and hotter and more and
more frequently. Is it possible that
mankind is threatened with another
mania, and that the time is coming when
hospitals must be provided for the cure
of victims to the hot water habit2 Per.

Sounds Made by the Aurora.

In March, 1885, Sophus Tromholt dis
patched some thousand circulars to all
parts Of Norway containing different
queries regarding the aurora. and among
them also the following: Have you or
your acquaintance ever heard any sound
during aurora, and, in this case, when
and in what manner" Up to Sept. 16,
he had received answers to these queries
from IA persons. OF these, not less than
90, or GA per cent, believe in the exist
ence of the aurora sound. and 80 (36 per
cent? state that they have heard it them
selves, while the other 80 cite testimonials
from other people; only 81 % per cent?
declare that they have never heard the
sound and know nothing about it, and
the other 81 (22 per cent? have not
noticed the query at all. There are thus
90 atfirmations against 81 negations.
The sound is variously described in
these answers as sizzling, creaking, whiz-
zing, rustling, cracking, kissing, whisper
ing, rushing, buzzing, ripping, roaring,
din, breezy, whipping, tanning, clashing,
Tapping, sweeping, etc.-Nature.

other at a different point in Mexico and

appointed. The tree grows to good
height. The leaves, heart-shape, are
thick and about the color of the under
part of silver maple leaf, except that
they are very rough, which prevents
them from glistening like the maple.
The thick, wax-like, bell-shaped red
blossom grows mouth upward, and in
side is the so-called hand. 1t has five
fingers and one thumb, but looks ex-
actly like a birds claw, and not like a
hand. The story ran that there are but
three in existence. Without doubt the
plant is rare and there may be no more
than a dozen, if that many in the world
but have seen in the garden of two
different gentlemen the very same tree
One of these gentlemen is in Europe
and the other bought his plant from
him, SO there was no way of learning
where the three came from. Mexican

A Brilliant Yellow from Camphor.

A brilliant and permanent yellow
coloring element is now obtained from
camphor. 1t can be used upon linen,
cotton, and silk, with no apparent differ
ence in density and brilliancy, and goods
thus dyed are said to be entirely unaf-
fected by the ordinary tests to which
they must be subjected in use. Boiling
for hours in a strong soap solution barely
turned the shade of a cotton sample.
With indigo handsome green has been
produced. This new dye, it is stated,
may be produced very cheaply and the
processes involved are said 10 render it
one of the simplest coloring matters to
make and apply.-Chicago News.

which is now, since good water has been
obtained in abundance, one of the ex-
ceptionally salubrious points, and you
will find death rate which in Europe
or America would be considered appall-
ing.
An able physician here, DIR. ALDER, tells
me that the death rate at Teheran is be-
tween rs and 80 per 1000, and the deaths
constantly exceed the births, the fact
that the town is growing in spite of it
being explained by the circumstance
that continual influx of persons from
other parts of Persia takes place, and
that the deaths are seven-eighths among
children below 3 years of age, who are
carried off when weaned cholera ablac-
tatorum). The deaths among the Euro
peans here show even a larger percent

itization process in the third year. Take
it all around, l think the man with in

Persia is a healthy country is either very
foolhardy or else worse.-Teheran Cor

FEDORE.

And Is this she that scorns my love-
A pure cold brow, like some white tablet
stone
Wherein has not yet fallen line or stain;
An aureole of glory glinted hair,
Its knotted golden mass such fatal snare,
That eyes once wandering there, there
fast remain,
Entangled in the mesh that lured
them on.
Eyes Of deep, dusky purple, like the
bloom
On luscious grape, or pansy's velvet
breast;
Now yelled by lingering droop of lashes
brown,
Now hidden quite by swift lids falling
down.
Now lifted with such scorn, but half sup
pressed,
That headlong hope is plunged into their
gloom.
Lips that seem colored from the CULVER
ing hearts
OF deep-red passion flowers, and moistened
DER
With dews of slumb'rous poppy buds,
which pressed,
Would swoon the soul away to dreamless
rest,
Unfeeling soulless, beautiful Fedore,
Queen of all sorceries and witching arts;
And she it is that scorns my love

The Chivalry of Then and Now,

There has been much holding up of
hands and shaking of heads" writes
James Payn from London, "over a love
affair in the Black country, where two
young men fought with fists for three
quarters of an hour by a Wednesday,
clock for the possession of fair damsel
who had promised to take as her bride
groom the one who proved himself the
better man; yet in the good old times
nothing was more common, and such an
incident was held to be full of romance.
The whole difference lies in the fact that
in the one case the combatants were
knights in Milan steel, and, in the other,
workingmen in their shirt-sleeves; and
am inclined to think that good deal of
the chivalry of the middle ages would
disappear if the Milan steel We're scraped
. off.-Exchange.

Webster and the Young Graduate.

A grizzly headed Boston lawyer, who
is a graduate of Dartmouth college, tells
a story of Daniel Webster, which has
probably never been in print. Webster
was present when this lawyer and the
others of his college class delivered their
orations on commencement day. Know
ing that Webster would be there, the
young man in question prepared what he
considered a graceful compliment to
tickle the ears of the great man. When
the time arrived for him to be heard he
noticed with qualification that Mr.. Web
ster sat in front seat. By the stateman's
side was Mr.. Woodbury., also a graduate
of Dartmouth. The young orator, in
order to drive home his compliment,
looked straight at Webster and bowed
repeatedly to him.
Among the sons of Dartmouth" said
the graduate, there is one whose fame
has extended throughout the nation of
the world, He combines Attic culture
with Roman eloquence, and with both
the unanswerable logic of the greatest
English orators" There was more of the
same stuff, but Webster sat calmly
through it all. That night Webster was
the guest of the graduates father. He
met the blushing youth cordially and
said, as he grasped his hand: 81 was de
lighted with your orason, sir. 1t was
fine-fine. l particularly admired that
part of it in which you spoke of the Attic
culture and Roman eloquence of my
friend Mr. Woodbury.. Boston Letter.

A Plea for Christian Prudence.

have no sympathy for skin-fiint saw
ing, but plead for Christian prudence.
You say it is impossible now to lay up
anything for a rainy day. l know it,
but we are at the daybreak of national
prosperity. Some people think it is
mean to turn the gas low when they go
out of the parlor. They feel embarrassed
if the door-bell rings before they have
the hall lighted. They apologize for the
plain meal if you surprise them at the
table Well, it is mean if it is only to
pile up misery hoard. But if it be to
educate your children, if it be to give
more help to your wife when she does
not feel strong, if it be to keep your
funeral day from being horrible beyond
all endurance because it is to be the dis
ruption and humiliation of the domestic
circle-if it be for that, then it is mag
nificent.-Dr. Talmage.

This Earth u Big Magnet.

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
are composed chiefly of iron. Signor
Bombicci suggests an explanation of this.
The earth is big magnet, as shown by
the proceedings of bar of steel freely
suspended and accurately balasced on
its center. Bombicci's idea is that this
big terrestrial magnet, when rushing
through space containing meteoric par
ticles, exerts a selective attraction for
those which are ferruginous. The fact
that so many masses of meteoric iron
have been found in the Attic regions, SC
far as it goes, supports this theory

Bees on the War-path.

a correspondent of The Bee Journal
writes that a brood Of chickens were in
the habit of frequenting the shed in
which he kept his bees The bees stung
all the dark-colored ones to death, yet
did not modest the hght-colored chicks.
Why the preference? The editor writes
that he has frequently spoken of the ad-
vantage of wearing light clothes among
the bees. We wear black bee wells be-
cause we cannot see clearly through any
color. Woolly, fuzzy and dark materials
are objected to by bees. A man with a
plug hat on rarely gets stung, unless by
bee that in trying to shoot the hat
aims too low and hits the face by mis-
take, while companion at a suitable
distance is perfectly safe.-Lewiston (N1e.)

There is something strange about the
success of Kentucky as a race breeder. 1t
is, of course, recognized and accounted for
thing that is not exactly explainable
by everybody, but after all there is some
about it. The bluegrass and the lime
stone come in justly for a great deal of
credit in their effect in hardening the
muscles and flesh, but there is something
outside of and beyond that Take Miss
Woodford, for example. She was taken
there and came out wonderfully changed
and improved, being an entirely differ
ent mare from what she was when sent
there, being in better condition every
way and still weighing $50 to 200 pounds
less. Then Kentucky horses never have
bad feet. That is a marked character
istic and one which is not easily &C
counted for. but nevertheless remains pc
culiar to the state.-Col Jack Shinn in
