Tho Nina conceptions Of the condition
after death are confused. The bechoe go
below into the city of the dead. where
they have to die nine times. or, according
to some, as many times as the man has
lived years on the earth, and are supposed
to lead lives like the earthly lives They
take with them their earthly utensils and
possessions In the form of shadows. and
cannot expect to attain higher state of
wealth than they did on the earth there
fore living men accumulate as much
wealth as possible. In order that they may
take the shadow of it with them. The
bechoe Of wicked men return to the corpse
In the grave, and are crushed by the earth.
Men who have no male issue are turned
after their manifold deaths into night
moths; those who are murdered, into
locusts. The bechoe Of murdered men and
suicides are assigned separate abodes from
the other bechoe,
At last the earth Will die. or sink into
the sea, and there will be a new earth
Then the bechoe Of the cats will let the
bechoe OF the men 60 over the gulf into
the new earth, the edge Of sword serv-
ing as g bridge. Any one who, In life, has
| causelessly tormented or killed cat will
be thrown by them into the abyss There

A pIea for Better Ventilation.

The Iowa state board OF health, In Its
recent bulletin, concludes that few who
have heard of the BLACK Hole OF Cal
cutta" know the terrible facts that have
rendered the place famous and made 1t
the synonym OF all that is TO be dreaded
from foul air and overcrowding At s
o'clock on the evening Of June 20. 1856,
l46 prisoners officers and men, black and
white, and of different nationalities were
thrust into room eighteen feet square
with two windows on one Of the foui sides
heavily barred with iron-giving TO each
inmate forty cubic feet Of space In ten
hours l23 were found dead-only twenty
three being alivel
Another instance Is where, In 1742 tho
high constable of Westminster, London,
committed twenty eight persons TO prison,
where they were thrust by the keeper
into hole six feet square and FIVE feet
ten inches high--the windows being close
shut In a very short time four OF the
inmates were suffocatedl
These facts show the poisonous effects
Of the human breath-or OF respired air.
Professor Brown -Sequard has recently
made some experiments that are not only
highly interesting, but show why the ex.
pired air Of man and animals Is so deadly.
From the condensed vapor of the expired
air he produced liquid so poisonous that
when injected beneath the skin of rabbits
1t produced almost instant death This
poison he found to be not microbe, but
an alkaloid. His. conclusions are that the
expired air Of all animals contains poi.
son more fatal than. carbonic acid 1t il
well for people to understand these facts.
They cry aloud for better ventilation and
purer air-for less crowding in home and
| church and hall and school room.--Scien-

As Is well known to the travelling pub
lie, 1t Is the custom to give the porter off
a sleeping car q quarter each morning for
his attention In shining shoes and blush!
ing off the clothes Of the traveller. Occa-
sionally there is man too mean 10 do
this, and the porter cuts a notch In the,
heel Of his shoe. This Is signal which,
all the other porters will recognize, and
shoes with notch on thooutside Of thei
heel will not be blackened, as the ownerl
Is on tho I'D. B. list. Recently Ed Hewitt
was passenger on Cincinnati SouthernI
train, and Conductor Kelly was telling
him Of this freemasonry among the knights
of the brush. Ed, who is always genepA
GUS with tips, showed so much interest in
the matter that Kelly got hold of his shoes
that night and notched them. Then hel
told friend at the Burnet house about
It, who engaged Barrister Hewitt In con-
versation on the subject, and, much to
his discontinue, showed him his own
shoes were notched. He tumbled to-
Kelly's joke.--Cincinnati Enquirer.

There are roofs, too, where something
Is always being fixed Now 1t Is patch
In the tin, which one roofer makes In
leisurely way, with frequent rests and
pipes, while his chum sleeps in the shade !,
Of chimney stack; then 1t is the tele-
graph hneman, setting up frame to-
string wire on, and again couple of
bricklsyers, with trowel and bucket Of
mortar, plastering up chimney and max
ing days work of what could be done In
an hour. The fat man who hauls mat
tress up the scuttle and takes nap in the
free air every evening from dinner to bed
time will break his neck some day unless
he reforms his habit Of dreaming and
rolling around like a porpoise In q lively
sea, and only miracle will save the boy
who raises kite from some day walking
backwards off the gutter and making q
pancake Of himself four stories below.
The young man with the absent express
sion who sits on the top Of the chimney to
contemplate the sunset and the stars
must be n poet or in love. The young
woman who brings book up with her and
sits IN the scuttle to read it, while her lit
tie dog chases the sparrows and barks at
the cat, would make O good match for
him, one would fancy.
The cat, by the way Is the presiding
spirit of all the roofs one sees from ones
back window. He is always gaunt and
Scared and lazy; he always has disrepu-
table look and tough manner, and 1t
would puzzle even the inspiration Of Nine
Diss Debar to tell in what house he be-
longs, for whenever he finds scuttle open
he goes down as calmly as If he had In
hGbited that special house and no other
all his life. He generally comes out again
with more celebrity, frequently followed by
an old shoe or beer BOTTLE or some kin
dred convenient missile; but as soon as he
is on the roof again he regains his normal
gravity, and sits down to wash his ragged
fur and warm his bruises In the friendly
sun.--Alfred Trumble In New York News.

II was little late, and when asked
the usher for programme he said he was
very sorry, but they were all gone. So II

the recital whom the fraulen, looking
what was the next number on her pro-
gramme, struck low chord, and began,
to my amazement, to play the air had
heard once before. She played 1t in the
same dainty way, but WITH more freedom,
less formality In the performance, and
every note wildly recalled the quaint
German parlor, as II was that night, with
the bright stream Of moonlight on the
floor.
"In the slight recess which followed I
heard O pleasant voice behind me say,
