hands stretched forth to save it. The unhappy
wife and mother was tenderly carried to a sofa
where she fell in dead faint.
DIR. Lehlbach, of Washington street, was sum-
moned and restoratives were applied. When
she had sufficiently recovered she stated that
the man who attempted to take her life and
the life of her child was her husband, Max
Crosse. German jeweler, % years OF age.
For several days he seemed to be unnaturally
irritable, and, contrary to his customary habits,
had treated her with great cruelty. She did
not suspect that his mind was affected until
last night, when in fury over some unknown
matter he suddenly seized the child from its
crib and rushed for the window, with the evil
dent intention of throwing it to the sidewalk
below. Mrs. Gfoose, who is delicate woman
of "a, sprang after her husband, and with q
strength born Of despair. succeeded in tearing
the babe from his arms. Then the lunatic
turned upon her and forced her through the
window and into the horrible position from
which she was happily rescued.
DR., Lehlbach went to police headquarters
and asked for the removal of Groose. Chief
Hopper sent officers Schmidt and Pikerel to
the house with the reserve wagon, and half
hour later the crazed man was behind prison
bars at the First precinct stationhouse. On
Tuesday he will be taken to the insane asylum
on South Orange avenue. Dr. Lehlbach fears
that the shock sustained by her terrible eXpe-
rience may drive the hapless wife insane.
A spaniard with Rifle Kills Fifty Malays.
A correspondent says that mob in the viii
lage Of Antique near Hiolo, in the Indian Archi-
peigo, attempted to kill priest, and fifty of them
were successfully shot down and killed. The vii
lage, which is near Manila is inhabited by severa
thousand natives. The only white men are
a Spanish priest and another Spaniard, who lived
some distance away on his own estate. There has
been for some time pas. bad feeling between the
natives and the that holds them in subsection,
and recently mob of the natives attacked the
priest, intending to put him to death by torture.
The other Spanard, who was quickly in
formed of what had occurred, took his
rife and cartridges and fastened to the
rescue of the priest. As as he arrived at the
priests dwelling which was surrounded by o black
mob bowling for blood, he opened fire the crowd.
He picked out the biggest and foremost men and
shot them down one by one When he had used up
fifty cartridges fifty dead blacks lay before him.
The natives, awe stricken, fed in terror crying
that the Spaniard assisted by the evil one and
that he had gun that could shoot forever without
reloading. They did not even come back to gather
up and bury their dead, leaving this duty TO the
two white men.
1t is believed that had it not been for the marks
manship and nerve displayed in this case the ma
hves in the neighboring provinces would have
risen and massacred the Europeans living there.

box was produced, and a microscopic
investigation showed that it was swarm

4 Recipe which Il C1 ened to Cure the
Passion for Alcoholics.
A specific against drunkenness has
often been sought, but as yet there has
been found no remedy except that OF
moral determination. Although the re-
from accomplished in this manner is
encouraging, there is wide field for
the use Of some physical method for
the reclamation of besotted individu.
ais who can not be reached by moral
suasion. DR.. Portugslow, a we'll
known physician and writer. declares
that the desire for drink is a disease
and must be treated by means Of the.
rapeutics. He claims that as quinine
is specific against fever. SO are SUBJ
cutaneous injections OF strychnine the
absolute means of curing the passion
for intoxicating liquors. 1t appears
that so far back as 1873 this method Of
treating was employed. but it attracted
little attention. In 1884 the celebrated
Fre-ch physician, Observation-Disclosures.
was a most Jealous advocate of this
method of treatment. The preparation
and application of the injection is
quite simple. One grain Of strychnins
is dissolved in two hundred drops
Of water, and the patient
receives an injection OF five drops
daily for a week or ten days. The
effects of the injections are surprising;
after two or three Of them the drunk
ard has an appetite and is able to,
sleep. II. after the expiration of
several months, the desire for strong
drink returns, the result of indulgence
is SO distressing, palpitation OF tho
heart, headache, and other equally
disturbing effects. that it becomes im-
possible for the inebriate to touch
another drop. 1t is recommended to
make the injections during the drunken
sleep. when the patient awakens in
the full possession of his senses and
will ask for a second or third applica-
tiOn. It would be IN admirable ar
rangement il the police surgeons
would test this ''cure" upon the in
toxicated persons brought into the
various stations II this means of

EXCITING SPORT.


Description Of . Regulation Bear Hunt In
Laplaad.
A peasant generally goes out In
search Of . bears trail, and, having
found it, moves in q ring some miles in
circumference. 70 make sure Of having
him within it He then gradually con-
tracts his circles, till he comes to -
retreat itself of the animal. Weeks arc
sometimes expended in this search; the
peasantry are then summoned to skall
by the Landshoroding. or Governor OF
tho province, and put under the direc.
tion Of the jogmOestare. or ranger Of
the district. who marshals them, and
commands their movements. The
peasants are generally formed into cir
cles, and come armed with whatever
weapons they can procure. Though
opposed singly to whole host, the
bear often spreads havoc among his
assailants. Every ball that enters his
huge carcass but adds fire to his fury,
and woe to the individual whom his
wrath has singled out It ceases to be
a mere pastime, and nothing but the
greatest self-possession can save him
from miserable death.
While at Hernosand / saw a repre-
sentation Of an event that took place at
a skall in the neighborhood, in 1881.
and which shows that bear-hunting
must be quite equal to tiger-hunting in
excitement and peril. The bear on this
occasion was very large; nothing like
an American bear, with which an In
dian can grapple, but an enormous
beast able to carry OF pony under his
arm. His temper, probably never very
good, had been rufiied by ten shots
lodged in different parts Of his body;
all present intrenched themselves and
awaited some desperate effort on his
part, should not lucky shot through
the head speedily give him his quietusL
At this moment man. bolder than his
companions. advancing before them,
the bear rushed upon him. tore the gun
from his hands, and began to wound
him with his tremendous claws.
The wretched man was unable to con-
tend with his muscular antagonist; al.
ready his wounds were letting out his
life. when a young Norrlander, unable
to look quietly on. rushed to his assist
ance. Besides the danger which he
himself incurred. and which, of course.
he had no feeling Of, there was some
difficulty in shooting the bear without
striking the man. As he advanced. the
bear rose on his hind legs to meet his
new opponent; his victim dropped be-
fore him; the Norrlander seized the IA
vorable opportunity. raised his gun
with both arms high above his head. to
bring it In q horizontal position on Q
level with the bears, and, trusting to
feeling more than sight discharged his
piece. An immediate death-wound could
alone save either from their enemy.
The success which the brave man de-
served attended him. and the ball passed
through the brain OF the bear, which
fell dead on the wounded man.-N T.

THE GERMAN SABBATH.
How the Day Il Spent In the Industrial
Centers Of the Empire.

How the nay Il Spent In the Industrial
Centers Of the Empire.
An inquiry has been made by the
Imperial Government into the nature
and extent of Sunday work 1t Ger

the view Of obtaining Information that
might be available hereafter in case
government regulation in the matter
is deemed necessary. Ignorance as 70
what really constitutes Sunday labor.
conflicting laws regulating it In the
different States. and general indiffer.
erce. all combined to render the re-
suits OF the inquiry far from complete.
BY far the most valuable statistical
shor ing was that obtained in Prussia
In thirty Prussian administrative dis
tricts from which statistics were OBJ
tanned. the number of establishments
reported was 5OO.l5S and the en-
ployes concerned numbered L.
5S2.59l. OF these and 6SS.027
hands. or 1926 per cent.
2SS. .939 establishments. or 57.75 per
cent. work on Sunday. The remainder.
2ll, ,2l7 establishments az. 25 per cent
and 919,564 hands (57.75 per cent?,
have no Sunday work. Sunday work
seems to be of larger volume in trade
and transportation than in other lines.
In industrial lines the larger industries
appear to have more to do than those
engaged in handwork. The number
of largo establishments working on
Sundays is greater than the small in
dustrial establishments. The number
Of people employed is, however, less
than in the smaller industries. This
Is explained by reason of the fact that
while larger proportion Of the indus
trial establishments do some Sundry
work in consequence Of keeping some
part of their machinery in perpetual
operation. the division of labor in the
large factories enables the requisite
Sunday work to be done by small
proportion of hands. whereas in handi.
crafts. although smaller proportion
OF establishments work on Sunday. the
want of division Of labor necessitates
the presence of all or nearly ell the
work people. This is particularly truo
of the smaller undertakings. Reports
from eight districts. embracing several
great industrial centers, show that es.
tablishments which work on Sunday
employ only AZ per cent. Of their hands
on that day. On the other hand. small
establishments employ 95 per cent. on
Sunday. In trade and transportation
a per cent. of the establishments and
nearly So per cent. of the hands are
employed on Sunday. In large indus
tries the proportion Of establishments
and hands employed was AZ and So per
cent respectively. Inquiries made Of
the people concerned show that % per
cent. Of the employees believe in the
total prohibition of Sunday labor, 80
per cent. and II per cent. pectively
favor limited prohibition, and SO per
cent. and "a per cent. hold any prohi.
tion to be impracticable. The above
figures are chiefly of interest in view
of the fact that demands have been and
are now being made for the limitation
or regulation Of Sunday labor through
out the empire. rc.-Bradstrcets.
