The Great ParIsIan Morgue.
boston Transcript


The morgue, such as we now see ii, dates
from the year 1864. 1t is exceedingly plain
in point of architecture. Every corps that
is taken to the morgue, after being carefully
cleaned from head to foot, Is quickly con-
yerted into block as hard as stone. This
result Is obtained by Cares refrigerator.
The bodies on view may thus be preserved
for any reasonable length Of time. This
longer period OF exposure fuithers the ends
justice, and gives more frequent OppOrtuni-
ties for Identification. The bodies may be
seen behind a glass partition, decently laid
out on ~ black marble slabs, which closely
resemble in form camp bedstead Instead
OF exposing them in their hideous nakedness,
with rill Of water flowing over their infat-
ed or CHASTITY remains. as used to be the case,
they are now exhibited in their clothing, even
to caps and bonnets, the idea being TO give
as far as may be, the appearance which the
deceased offered when alive In the case Of
corpses found without clothing, the inspec-
tion Is no longer public; though, Of course.
every facility Is afforded persons In quest OF
missing relatives or friends to see the bodies.
Casual spectators Of this hideous show, az
tracted thither by mere curiosity, are too OF
ten witnesses OF distressing scenes, Wneh
relatives of missing loved ones, pressing
forward to the glass screen diVlding the 1ead
from the living, catch the first glimpse OF
dread sight which realizes their most ago
nizing apprehensiOnS. The cOrpSeS once
frozen at this temperature" remarked the
doctor, "will stand erect on their feet, and
should they fall down they DO not Sustain
the slightest scratch. But the noise is like
that Of marble mantel shelf crashing down
upon the floor" THE books of the morgue
show steady yearly increase In the number
OF dead bodies received; 400 eorpses were
brought In there In 1880; $40 in 1852, 954 in
1884, the result Of wilful murder, accidental
death or suicide. The number now annually
reaches nearly 900. The deaths of men are
hye or six times as numerous as those of
woman

VOICE GALLERIES.
What May Result from the Inven-
tIon OF the Phonograph.

We fear that the phonograph, says the Lon
don Spectator, may add to the great picture
galleries Of our great houses voice galleries
almost more impressive, from the vivacity
with which grandparents, and great-grand
parents may be made to address the descend
ants who never knew them. and that, too,
in all sorts Of contending strains. Imagine
man in the next century whose great-grand-
father was a Gladstonian, whose grand
father was intrusted with a command in the
war with Ireland to which home rule had
led, and whose father had sided with the
Irish in resisting the expressions Of the re-
stored GoYernment-and imagine these an
cestors addressing their descendant In all
the different accents Of political passion TO
which their different situations in life had
given rise, while their portraits look severe
ly down upon him, enforcing by their express
sion the earnestness Of their political view
would not such man carry into life a con-
sciousness even more hesltating and divided
than even that which gives birth TO our
nineteenth century yacillatlons? Or mag
inc a man of the same century whose great
grandmother was vehement partisan OF
woman.s suffrage, whose grandmother was
a lady doctor who held that the nerves OF the
woman Of the day mad been ruined by edu-
catiOnal Oyerpressure, and whose mother,
after carrying law Tor -embodying Amazon
regiments and wOmaning few irOnclads had
emigrated to eseade the consequences OF the
French conquest Of our southern counties
and imagine him listening to the most char
acteristic utterances Of each Of these ances-
tresses as they frowned upon him from the
living canvas Oh his wall-w0uld not he too
carry into life very strange complexity Of
vivid associations such as might easily en-
barraSs him with the singular conflict Of
their pathetic el0quence? We have very
strong belief that the scientific ingenuites
of our day. acting under the imperious guild
ance of sensibilities which are as narrow as
they are tender, will c0ntrlVe to fill the
world we leave behind us much too full Of
us for the free growth Of our pOsterity, and
that a time will come when II will be neces-
sary to preach sort Of iconoclasm towards
the pieties Of ancestry in order to clear the
way for anything like independent growth.
One OF the most effective Of Arabian fairy
tales describes how the prince who Is 10
break the spell Of the wicked magician's en-
chantment has to pass along a way where
voices in the greatest confusion address him
from every side, In every accent Of seOrn, or
come from the mere stocks and stones beside
his path. Was this an unconscious anticipa-
tion Of the phonograph? We much doubt
whether Edison's wonderful and admirable
discovery, and the extensions that must fol-
low, will not tend to bewilder the world In
which our children's children live, at least
as much as the Outeries of the bewitched
valley Of rocks bewildered the hero Of that

The State Muster.

The work of preparing for the State mus
ter is being energetically pushed. Special
trains will be run on the day of the muster,
the one from the west leaving the Union
Station, Monday, August 10, at 9.15, and ar
irving in Augusta at 11.35. The train from
the east will leave Bangor at 1912 and will
arrive in Augusta at 11.56. The special train
will leave Lewiston at 9.25, and will connect
with the Portland special at Brunswick at
1910.
Some of the companies have asked to be
allowed so cents per day per man for rations
and purchase their own stores and cock
them. The proposition is under considera-
tion, and may be adopted, providing all the
companies wish to accept such terms, and
providing, too, there are funds enough.
Massachusetts pays her soldiers 81 per day
for services, and allows 81 per man per day
men 81. so per.day for services and allows g
cents per man per day for rations;, -, This
method puts the care and responsibility o.
rations upon each company and leaves pu'
little or no chance for faultfnding.

Where the Mosquitoes are Feared.

lNeW 1OTk lelcgrdHl.I
''It is not necessary to go around the world
to learn something new," said sun-browned
traveller in the rooms of the Geographical
Society yesterday. "The other day accom-
panied Colonel Bronson, of Brooklyn, to a
funeral out in Jersey. You Enow that Long
Islanders have a prejudice against New
Jersey and everything in it. The mosquitoes
were pretty bad at the funeral, and while the
Colonel stood among the weeping friends at
the grave, could see the mosquitoes boring
into him and his lips moying-not in prayer,
however, AS we were crossing the ferry on
our Way home his unspoken opinions of New
Jersey and its mosquitoes came to the surface
and were expressed more vigorously than
eloquently. The substance of his adjectives
was that New Jersey was the worst place for
mosquitoes in the Union, and he would rath-
er live at the North Pole than be bitten to
death in New Jersey. That made me laugh
and astonished the Colonel by assuring him
that the farther north one goes the more
mosquitoes he will tnd. In fact they be-
come positively dangerous around the Arctic
Circle.
Resuming his conversation, the traveller
said: 81 mean what l say. AS you go north
Along the Red River of the North steamboat
hands and officers and passengers are forced
to wear sort of hoop skirt netting over their
heads and necks to prevent being poisoned
by mosquitoes. When the cows are MIXED
in the corrals the men burn smudges and
make clouds of smoke to keep off the insects
or the milking could not be done at all.
''Sir George Back in his report on the dis
covery and voyage to the mouth of the rive
that bears his name, says that the sailors and
Indians comprising his party Wee almost
driven back by the myriads of mosquitoes
that disputed his passage northward,
throughout the entire length of the river to
where it empties into the Arctic basin. Sir
John Franklin, DIR. Richardson and Captain
Mackenzie say the same in reference to their
Journeys in the Arctic region of North
America. Schwatka, in his report on the
raft journey he made down the Yukon River.
in Alaska says that mosquitoes have been
known to drive reindeers from an entire

which entered their nostrils in swarms and
attacked them where they could not brush
them away.
"Whalers in North Hudson Bay say that
on stu summer day in that vast region life
Is not worth living on shore. The lee side of
every object will be black with mosquitoes
The natives have to wear cloth around their
heads with an opening in front barred with
fine strands of whalebone. In the door of
each tent is kept a smudge fire that fills the
tent and eyes with smoke, until, what with
mosquito bites and infiamed eyelids, sleep is
travellers and hunters have to wear calico
curtain around their heads, with horsehair
window in front to admit air and allow them
to see the way. This curtain is to protect
them from mosquitoes and sunburn from the
suns direct rays and reflection from the
snow. No, sir, New Jersey is not the worst
place in the world for mosquitoes"
