Emperor williams widow.

A general, who was sent as a special
envoy to the funeral OF Emperor Will
lam, has written to his government that
he was wonderstruck at the in
which her royal and imperial majesty
the Empress Augusta held on to her post.
The military spirit, he said, extends it
self at Berlin even to the court ladies,
and braces up among them those who in
other countries would reckon themselves
invalids. The empress has the petriied
rigidity Of features of all the august and
illustrious personages who, growing old
with Emperor William, have survived
him. She received in a darkened room,
and wore the German widows cap and
double veil, the front part Of which was
thrown buck. The arms OF her chair
project a little forward, and are arranged
by means of an ingenious mechanism to
rise to the level of her armpits when
when she stands, and thus hold her up.
She stood supported in this way when
receiving the ambassadors, special en-
voys and princes who attended the fu-
neral The latter were legion. Every
German reigning house, mediatized or
other, sent a deputation of its scions.-

A sharp eyed little man attracted the
writer's attention In a Chicago hotel by
the close watch he maintained at the din
ner table upon the jaws of the other
gueets- After watching them all pretty
closely for q while, he finally concentrated
his attention upon All elderly gentleman
opposite, who ate his food with some diff
Guilty. Even a casual observer could have
noted that he selected only the softest
articles on the bill of fare.
THAT man mas a bad fitting set of teeth
and I'll get them" said the little man.
When the elderly gentleman left the table
the little one followed. and In a few mo-
ments was in conversation with him, and,
us 1t afterward TRANSFERRED, had engaged to
buy his false teeth as soon as he had OBJ
tained a new set.
This little man picks up a great many
sets of false teeth in the course of n year.
Most persons that nave a set before they
reach 30 years of age are Obliged to buy
two more sets, at least, before they reach
90 years, and the mouth changes so that
teeth that fit well and serve their wearer
well at first after O while do not fit and
cause the wearer a great deal of discom-
fort. The man that makes q living in
this line has acquired n great knack for
discovering Ill fitting teeth, and he scarcely
ever falls to secure Il bargain, for notw1th-
standing false Teeth are the only immortal
material about our bodies, inasmuch as
they are said to be capable of resisting 4, 900
dogs. Of heat (Fahrenheitl. very few people
know that they are worth anything second
hand. and 80 the little man gets them at
his own figure.
He told the writer that many sets Of
false teeth are found. Owners are more
careless of them than is supposed, and in
stances are moro frequent than would be
imagined in which they nave been left In
hotel bedrooms, They nave been found in
railroad cars and even in horse cars, and
quito frequently turn up In cabs. Az the
cabbics and railroad employees cannot wear
other peoples teeth they hunt up the
buyer. and he gets the set for a few shil-
lings. The scavengers sometimes rake up
n set in an ash barrel, and sets are some
times picked up In the streets. One set
was found In a magpie's nest in Pennsyl-
vania, and another was picked out OF a
woman's throat by a surgeon. Tho patient
would never wear them again, and they
were sold for q song. The little man
picks up n nice living by his purchases,
adding to 1t now and then by buying a
second hand wig or two. - New York

Burials alive are far more common IN
hot countries where the burial takes
place within twenty-four hours after
death. than they are here, where one
gets, as a rule, a weeks grace. In Spain
the body Is frequently removed to the
undertaker's shop a few hours after
death. In one of the largest Of these &C.
adjustments in Madrid, some years ago,
an extraordinary sight was witnessed. A
gentleman was brought in his "casket"
n afternoon and placed in the room set
apart for hat branch of the business.
The proprietor lived over his premises,
and on this especial evening was giving
a grand ball. When the ball was at its
height a gentleman in full evening dress
suddenly Joined the company. He danced
with the wife Of the undertaken and he
danced with the undertaker's daughter,
and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying
himself.
The undertaken thought, he knew his
face, but did not like to be rude and ask
him his name; but by and by all the
guests departed, and the strange gentle
mar was the only one left. ''Shall 1
send for a cab for your" said the host at
last. mo, thank YOU" replied the gen.
tleman; "I'm staying In the house"
Staying in the housei'' exclaimed the
undertaken; "who are you; sir2''
''What, don't you know me7 I'm the
corpse that was brought in this after
noon. The undertaken, Mortified,
rushed TO the mortuary and found
the coffin empty. His wife and daugh-
ter had been dancing with a corpse. An
explanation, of course, followed. The
gentleman. who had onlv heen IN n
trance, had suddenly recovered, and
hearing music and revelry above, and
having a keen sense of humor, had got
out of his coffin the Spanish coffin closes
with a lid, which Is only locked just pre-
vious to interment) and joined the festive
party. He was quite presentable, as in
Spain the dead are generally buried in
full evening dress.-The Argonaut.

The official casualty lists of the Con-
federate forces are not so trustworthy as
those of the Union side because they have
not had careful revision since the war
closed, but the tables now accessible
show that the northern aim was equally
true, and that the northern nerve was
equally steady. The Twenty-sixth North

500 wounded; total, 6ss, not including
the missing, of whom there were about
100. In n company, 81 strong, every
man and officer was hit; and the orderly

with a bullet through each leg. This is
by far the largest regimental loss on each
side during the war.-W. F. Fox in The

A Truly Grand Aehisrement.

, 1t is next to impossible to grasp
the fact that the telegraph, which
now does go around the world, was
in 1887 inside q barn or shop at
Speedwell, where It was being con-
structed as a rude model to be exhibited
before a committee of congress. Exactly
fifty years of the magnetic telegraph
from its inception, and it seems as IL the
world could meyer have gone on at all
without it. When the shop was rebuilt
several years ago this room where the
first model was built was preserved in
tact, and the descendants Of Judge Vail
still cherish it rs q memorial Of the in
fancy of o n of the grand achievements
which mark the progress of modern
civilization. "-Globe- Democrat.

Mind Reached through tho Body.

That mental disorders may in many in
stances be cured by corporeal measures
all know. Some sudden shock to the
body has often proved the only means by
which a long standing mania has been
removed. II is wonderful, for instance,
what a marvellous effect the submersion

of the dark river has upon his mind. No
sooner is he rescued and brought to his
senses than all thought Of putting an end
TO his existence has vanished. and he once

ocratic vice presidential candidate will be
named by the immediate friends of Presi-
dent Cleveland. An intimation has gone
forth in a sort ola semi official way, hat
the presidents preference in this direc-
ton is Senator Thurman of Ohio. In
this connection an interview had with
Senator Thurman last night will be of IN
terest. When spoken to in reference to
the vice presidency he said:
You newspaper people will never let a
fellow alone. There have been four or
five newspaper men calling on me every

ested in the question of your candidacy"

n%ection. | want no office of any kind and
consequently am not an aspirant for the

And there is no ground for assump-
ton or supposition on that score. | am

That event will not happen for l have

to the publishers by Col. Michael V.
Sheridan 1t is said that Gen. Sheridan
has written a remarkably interesting mar
rative of his life. He occupied nearly
two wears on the work. He has used the
first person. and the book reads like a
romance. 1t is full of the generals ad-
ventures from the time of his graduation
at West Point at 81 to the Franco Prus-
sian war, of which he was a spectator.
In simple language he has given a graphic
account of his Indian fights and his part
in the late war. The book is not statis-
teal and is so much like a story that it
would sell even if the generals fame was
was not connected with it as the author.

Glow is glass tubing NADER said a re-
porter to a large dealer.
well, it will not take very long to
tell you all / know about it, but its manu-
facture is surprisingly simple. The glass
blower takes a small quantity of melted
glass from the pot with his blowing tube,
rolls it slightly on q marble slab to give
1t a cylindrical form; he then adds q
small quantity of glass from the same
pot n blows the enlarged mass while
rolling it, taking great pains to keep the
shape cylindrical. If the tubes of large
caliber are required, the inside diameter
of the cylinder is enlarged and the glass
Is allowed TO cool slightly before draw
ing. For tubes of very small caliber,
such as thermometer tubes, the internal
diameter is decreased and the glass is
used very warm.
In making a piece of glass tubing the
assistant places a ball of glass against the
end of the glass cylinder by aid of his
blowing tube. Now the men, each hold
ing an end of the glass cylinder by means
of their blowing tubes, begin to separate,
walking backward. The cylinder is thus
heightened, and at the same time made
smaller in diameter. When the tube has
attained the right size it is generally too
warm and soft to admitof laying it down
without destroying its shape; it is then
cooled by mean of a fan. When it is
sufficiently cooled, it is laid upon a series
Of equidistant parallel blocks of uniform
length, where it remains until cool. 1t
is then cut into lengths with a diamond
or file. If the tubes are required to re-
sist great pressure or changes of tempera-
ture, they are annaled, by plunging
them into boiling linseed oil, and then
cooled ."-New York Mail and Express.
