Her Heart Buried in France.

Mrs. Mary Magdaline Verge,a native Of
France died recently in Peru, Ind, with
tumor of the stomach. Her last request
to her daughter was that her heart be
taken out, her feet and hands amputa-
ted and sent to France for burial. Ac-
cordingly, Drs. Passage and Ramsey am
putated the feet and hands, and took
her heart out, placing them in a glass
globe filled with alcohol, They will be
sent at once to France for interment,
while her remains were taken to Somer-
sci for burial. Her daughter has also
promised that after decomposition has
taken placc, to remove her mothers
body to France for final burial. Mad
amc Verge is a graduate of the School
OF Medicine in France, at Paris, Reims
and Bios, in 1S40. She came to this
country about four years ago, being
born at Brynenfip 1919. Since her resi-
dcnce in this city, while standing near a
window during thunder storm, flash
of lightning blinded her, from the effects
of which she had never recovered. She
was a well-elucated lady.-Cineinnati

Rolled Wrought Iron Chains.

The process some time since announced
of rolling out chains of wrought iron
from the solid bar has, with certain i'm.
provements, been successfully resorted to
tho principle of forming the rollers
and the process of rolling out chain
being in this case similar in some re.
spects to the method employed for cast.
ing the links and having them come Out
together in chain from mold. In the
latter operation the flask Is made to part
equally in four ways, and the chain mold.
ed while the links are separated so as to
divide the space equally between them,
giving as little clearness as possible,
which will not change their appearance
perceptibly-the flask is divided, the
chain is removed, and one is cast in the
mold. Similarly, piece of chain is
swedged out of bar of iron in an analo-
gous manner by means of four converg-
ing dies. Thus, in producing continu.
GUS chain in this way, the dies are made
continuous by having them formed on
the circumference of four rollers arranged
with dies distributed in equal divisions,
and the rollers driven by gear wheels, so
that the four parts of link will meet
accurately in place; proper clearance ia
given to the dies, so as to allow the ma
terial to leave the matrix freely as The
roller rcvolves. As the blank is carried
forward between the rollers, the dies
partially press or swedge out the links
at right angles to each other. breaking
the fin or feather edge that is left on the
inside of the link. .-Aining and Scisntitic

The Pautshen Lama.

The selection of the Pantshen lama,
whose headquarters are at the monastery
of Krashis Lunpo in Further Thibet, and
who has shared the overlordship of
Thibet with the Dalai lama since the
fifteenth century, took place at Lhassa,
recently. The ceremony is, perhaps, the
strangest revival in the ritual of any
church. 1t was an old idea with the
northern Buddhists that distinguished
members of their order were incarnations
of divine beings, who, while continuing
to live in heaven, had the power to as
aume an earthly existence. This belief
is still held regarding the pontiff Of
Gedun Dubpa and Krashis Lunpo, the
one being looked on as the incarnation
of the third person in the Trim ty, of
which the great teacher is the head, and
the other that of the second person in
the same. Accordingly, when either
of the pontitfs dies, as the Pant
shen lama did some time ago, the
other has to set to work and discover
wherein the celestial spirit has embodied
himself anew. The first step is to get
the names of all the male children born
Just after the death of the deceased lama,
and to select three from these, one Of
which, cast by lot, is the name of the new
incarnation. About the beginning of
the year the Chinese Resident at Lhassa
was informed that three "young boys of
remarkable intelligence and straDgeness"
had been found, and after some time
spent in communicating with Pekin, the
youngsters were brought to Lhassa and
preparations made for the grand cere-
mony. All the abbots of the great mon
asteries were present to supervise the
week of prayer; the three children were
received by the Resident and the Thibe-
tan authorities Gin order that their in.
telligence and difference from other per-
sons might be tested" and finally on an
auspicious day golden vase containing
the fate of the boys having been brought
in and placed in front Of the emperor g
image, which stands in the hall at Gedun
Dubpa, the lot was drawn and the elect
of the three hailed as Amitabba incar-
nate, the Fantshen Rinpotshe, "Glorious
Teacher" henceforth to rule over halt

with skim milk after cleaning. Never
use soap for cleaning paint. When there
are spots of grease or smoke on the wood
work a very thin lime whitewash will
remove them. To extract grease from
wall paper, cover the spots with several
folds of blotting paper and hold q red
hot iron near until the grease is absorbed.
Borax is very useful for cleaning win
dow glass and mirrors, and rubbing them
with old newspapers gives them a fine
polish. Newspapers are the best thing
for cleaning lamp chlmneys. Put the
least bit of kerosene on a piece, when
filling the lamps; then rub the chimneyss
until they shine. 1t is more easily and
quickly done than washing them in soap
suds, they look as we'll and are much
less liable to crack.-Prairie Farmer.

In Nrture, DR.. Ham gives an interest
ing account of the wiuter temperature OF
Wercho, ,ansk (Siberia), deduced from
several years observation. The town,
which lies in the valley of the lana,
about 8 feet above the level of the river,
in latitude III degrees 81 minutes N.
longitude 1873 degrees II minutes E., and
at height of about $50 feet above the
sea, has the greatest winter cold that is
known to exist upon the globe. Month
ly means of SIS degrees F. occur even
in December, mean temperature which
has been observed nowhere else in the
polar regions; and min;ma of -76 de-
grees are usual for the three winter
months December February, In the
year 1856 March also had minimum
II degrees, and during that year
December and January never had a
minimum above 10 degrees, while in
January, 1885, the temperature of SO
degr es was recorded These extreme
readings are hardly credible, yet the
thermometers have been verified at
the st. Petersburg Observatory. To add
to the misery of the inhabitants, at some
seasons the houses are inundated by the
overflow of the river. The yearly range
of cloud is character site Of the climale
in the W nter season the mean only
amounts to about three tenths in each
month.

South American Canoes.

The Creoles of South America call tho
canoes used by the Indians 'wood-
skins" These boats are made of one
piece of bark, stripped from species
of locust-tree called purple heart.
Unlike the birch bark used by our
Indians, this bark is very heavy, SO that
in the event of a wood. skin shipping
water to any great extent, it sinks
Immediately. To make one OF these
wood skins, large purple-heart tree is
cut Gown, and the bark of the requisite
length is taken off. A wedge-shaped
piece is then cut out of the trough
shaped bark, from the top downwards,
at distance of three feet or 30 from
both ends on each side.
The ends are then raised till the edge
of the cuts meet, when holes are pierced
on either hand at distance of six inches
from the cut, and numbers of turns OF a
strong withe, or Llama, passed through
them, and made fast in neat manner
to small, round stick placed along he
inside.
Two strong pieces of wood fastened
across the splits prevent the sides from
closing in. The ends are then trimmed
down level with the sides, and ticklish
but serviceable little craft is turned out.
The whole process of making one OF
these wood-skins, including the drying
of the bark, occupies space OF three
weeks. Wood-skins vary in size, but
usually are from fifteen to twenty-five
feet in lenght, and an ordinary sized one
will carry three or four people. with
their hammocks and provisions.-ToutRs

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Boil Potatoes Scientifically.

The proper, sensible and scientific way
to boil potato is without peeling it.
Retaining it's skin Though very we'll
washed, be it said), it also retains those
possibilities of flavor and fouriness of
which the generality of cooks do their
very best to rob it. Different sorts need
different treatment, but it may be taken
as general axiom that potatoes should
boil till they may be easily pierced by a
fork, and that after every smallest drop
of water has been carefully and studiously
drained away from them, they should be
steamed for only three or four minutes
over q hot fire and we'll shaken during
this process. Thev should then be served
in dish without cover, and very hot.
Perhaps the potato is the only vegetable
that does not suffer from being eaten
from the same plate with meat or poultry.

A Musical UecQnter.

A cut glass decanter with a musical
box concealed in the bottom is the latest
no city in the line of fancy articles with
musical attachments. The decanters
are tinted in a variety of delicate colors,
which ser to conceal the false bottom,
under whi h the mechanism is placed.
Clear glass bottles are also made, and
when partly filed with wine or colored
lia,.id conceal the works still more et-
fectually. The mu,ical box is wound by
means of button under the bottom,
and plays only when the decanter is
placed on the table.
Musical plates are made in similar
manner, but the mechanism in them does
not play when the plate is on the table,
but when it is lifted to be passed arouLd.
A concealed sprng underneath starts
and stoIr the WORKS. The plates and
decanter cost $7.5 each.
The L,ost elegant .anry article that
emits musical sounds is gold snuff DO .
1t is elegantly wrought, and is mar ell
lous in its working. Pressure upon o
small disc causes circular lid about the
size of silver dollar to fly open, and a
little bird po 8 into view. The fcathered
songster wal bles in exact imitation of a
canary, dane ng about and moving its
head and bill the while, and as it utters
the last note It disappetrs from view,
and the lid closes wi h snap. On the
other side of the box a larger lid opens
into receptacle for snuff. These tri es
cost from ST. upward, nc ording to the
amount of ornamental work and ewel-
ing hat is done upon them. Like all
of the most pensive musical boxes,
they are made in Switzerland.-NeaO

Why COlOnels Are Numerous.

Bill Arp explains, in a recent letter to
the Atlanta COnstitutiDn, that in old time
militia musters ''the Governor was the
Commander-in in Chief, but as he could
not be personally present, The militia
were reviewed by proxy. Every County
had an aid-de cam p with the rank of
Colonel. lie held his rank aud title as
long as the Governor held his o. ce, and
he was expected to holrer for him and
talk for him and boom him, and. if
necessary, he must Fl ht for him on a
sui able occas on. If the Governor failed
of re election, these ColoneIs had to re-
tire too. and new set were appointe /.
but The old set never lost their title, and
so the Stale in course of time got pretty
full of Colonels."

Gladst0ne's Library.

Mr.. Gladstone's study at Hswarden
Castle is rather curiously arranged. The
wa are CO cred with books. and VOL
umes are also massed in large shelves
jutting out from the walls into the
room. Between each partition of books
there is room to walk thus the saving
of space in the arrangement of the libra.
ry in this manner is enormous. The
stock of books, perhaps, exceeds $4,000
volumes, and Notwithstanding this large
number MIR. Gladstone has little diiicul-
ty in placing his hand on any volume he
may require. There are three writing
desks in the room. one is chiefly re-
served for correspondence of pol tical
nature and another is used by Mrs.
Gladstone. Looking out of the study
window the flower beds facing the
castle present picturesque appearance,
while the heavily wooded grounds be-
yond stand out in bold relief an d form

Paris Green-Its Use

The use Of Paris green in orchards for
destruction of insects which injure
fit and foliage has been discussed
lite freely at several of the agricultural
INVENTIONS the past few months. Paris
ZEN seems to be coming into use in
he sections as much in the orchard as
the potato field. Some who have ap-
led it without due caution have killed
foliage and occasionally a cow or
Fse. Such poisons as Paris green
build not be left around carelessly ex-
ed to animals or children who are
j informed of its nature.
Some persons are doubtless unneces-
ly fearful of having it applied in the
den or field. There are those who
be attempted to discard from their
les all potatoes which have been pro-
ted blythe use of poison, but the green
bow used so universally on all farms
ERE potatoes are grown and without
least injury to the tubers that the
is pretty well overcome. 1t has been
nd that for potatoes mixture of
e Paris green and plaster at the rate
bne pound of the former to 200 or 300
Ends of plaster is more effective than
be proportion of green is greater. If
green is put on in too large proper
! the insects will reject leaves upon
fch it lies; while if the green is ex-
ded three hundred times the leaves
be eaten more readily and thus more
the poison will be taken, though IN
small doses. But if eaten in however
Bll quantity the effect seems fatal. In
kying fruit trees with Paris green
Ter, q Connecticut man applied j,

A Second Crop Advisable.

Land from which the first crop has

busiest farmer cannot afford to neglect
the smallest plot of this kind. AS soon

should be ploughed lightly aud fertil,

Bremen's Roland.

its statue of liberty, the "Roland," az it

hand the giant holds a shield marked
with an eagle that symbol of liberty in
all ages), in the other naked sword. 1t
was the gauntlet thrown down to all the
world that Bremen would be free, free.

even now, though part of tho ''erman
