A Carnival Mt bIaipz-

The ffftieth anniversary of the Carnival
club Of Mainz was recently celebrated at
the large hall of the court house. The
assembled guests counted nearly 5000,
among them the g~overnopof the fortress,
Won Winterfeld; the director of the
province, Kuechler, and the mayor, DIR.
Oechsner. The ceiling was supported
by fourteen ALIASES twenty-three feet
high and clad in clowns dress. The
garlands stretching from head to head of
these figures were held up by immense
wasps, flies, etc, with most gorgeous
wings. The rostrum was adorned with
every imaginary emblem of f~oolery. The
band wore dresses of feathers represent
ing all kinds of birds, the conductor be-
ing a gigantic cacadoo. The goddess of
foolery, just emerging from an immense
egg, was suspended from the center of
the ceiling, and her double appeared as
leader of the escort of King Carnival.
Presents were carried by Father Rhine,
the genii of music and song, Moguntia,
etc. From some funny devices, at the
bidding of the goddess, the heads of the
eleven city councillors were brought forth.
Funny orations, representations and songs
alternated with orchestral music and
dances, and the Jolly company did not
separate till morning.-Foreign Letter.

A Pleasing Novelty in Dinners.

After the soup had been served, and
Just prior to serving the next course, the
host gave his signal and rose from his
seat, as did every other gentleman at tho
table, all the ladies remaining seated.
Each gentleman then moved to the next
gentleman's seat to his right. When this
was first done, the ladies, not being let
into the secret, were very much surprised
at the unusual conduct of the gentlemen,
and could not at once comprehend tho
meaning of it; but when they gathered
its full intent, and the charm there was
in it, it was decidedly gratifying to motto
the merriment and interest with which
they received the innovation. Just prior
to the commencement of the next course
the host gave his signal again, and each
gentleman again moved one gentleman's
seat to his right, and so on. The entire
setting of tho courses was so harmoni-
ously arranged that at the close of the
dinner each gentleman had visited, for a
short space, every lady at the table, and
had at last returned to her whom he had
escorted in to dinner. Atlanta Constitu-

NEARsIGHrED BUSINESS MEN.

The Glenrock Graphic in its last issue
speaks very frankly to the business men
OF that Town and calls them to task for
the lack of patronage which they afford
to their home paper. We have frequent
ly been at a loss to account for the short.
sightedness sometimes displayed by bust
ness men in their relation toward ncwspa-
pers. Glenrock, as far as we can learn,
is a thriving little place, the steady
growth of which is assured by its coal
mines. And yet how very Jew people
even in the territory would ever hear of
the town itself or the advantages afforded
by the surrounding country were it not
for the newspaper published there? Too
many people appear to regard a newspa-
per as a sort of public institution which
as a matter of course will boom its town
and section. 1t is the medium through
which charitable undertakings are venti-
lated free of charge; through it the out
side world learns Of the advantages pos
sessed for settlers and in very many cases
it contributes more to the growth and
prosperity of its town than all other in
f~iuences combined. Still by an unfortu-
nate contradiction in human nature it is
seldom appreciated at its Just value and
many Of the very men IN whose wealth it
has directly contributed by influencing
outside capital and emigration are the
first to point out its shortcomings and the
last to contribute a dollar to its support.
As a rule the hardest worked and poor.
est paid man in a new community is the
editor. His paper is always published
under extraordinary disadvantages, and he
keeps up faith in the future of his
town in the face of CALM. fnar.-
cial difficulties. At the very best he can
seldom hope to make more than Il com
Portable living, while men in other pui-
suits who are perhaps no more talented
and do not work as hard become bloatcd
bondholders.
The community which is too narrow
guaged to support its home paper-and
we are pleased to think there are very
few of them in Wyoming-is not des.
tined to cut a very wide swathe in the
worlds history. If The business men of
Glenrock are not of the class to give prac-
teal encouragement to the newspaper
which stands up for them. there is Very
little hope for the future of the town, for
tho nanY1n whn Hp. ,iaA - T. II

DIR. Feltz, in L'Art Medical, relates
the following as a possible explanation of
thee occurrence of left handedness: In a
family composed of five persons, the
father and mother were right handed, as
was also the eldest son, who had been
cared for in his infancy by a nurse. The
second child had been nursed by the
mother, and was left handed. The third
child, also nursed by his mother, was at
the age of 1 year, evidently left handed,
never grasping any object with his right
hand. DR.. Feltz noticed that the mother
carried the child on her left arm, and,
upon being questioned, said it had always
been her custom to carry her children on
this arm. The doctor advised her to
hold the child on her right arm.
She did SO; the child soon began to
use his right hand in Selling objects, and
is now, at the age of 10 years, normal
as regards the preference of the right
over the left hand. The doctor explained
that when the nurse carries the child on
the left arm, the left arm of the infant is
the n which is free, and which conse-
Guently he learns to use, to the neglect of
the right.-Science.

Tho ring among astrologors was a favor
ito means Of divining tho future. 1t was
suspended by n hair in tho middle Of q
cup known as tho draining cup Ques-
tons were asked and tho ring tapped the
sides Of the goblet in answer, but as the
hand Of the astrologer held the hair TO
which tho ring was fastened, perhaps
there was not 80 much divining in this
rs the crcdulous supposed. All astrol-
ogcrs, however, had at least seven magic
ring5; one for the sun, O diamond set in
gold; another for the moon, n crystal in
silver; n third for Mercury, n loadstone
in silver; a fourth for Venus, an amethyst
in copper, u fifth for Mars, an emerald in
iron; a sixth for Jupiter, q cornelian in
tin; n seventh for Saturn, n turquoise in
lead. Many astrologers had a zodiac ring,
or ring exhibiting in its setting all tho
signs of the zodiac, the general effect be-
ing that of a calendar or old fashioned
almanac. Charm rings are also very
common even in later times. Henry VIII
had 80 much confidence in n ring which
belonged TO Thomas u Beckett that he
had it set a a thumb ring and wore it
all his life.-Globe-D Democrat.

A New prcservatIvc Art.

NJ. Truy, the French consul at this
port, has in his parlor n huge decorative
piece, seemingly of roses, rosebuds, vio-
lets, smilax and other flowers and foliage,
apparently carved with most exquisite
dclicacy in bronze. The most minute
curves and veinings of the smallest petals
and leaves are preserved with infinite
cNactitude, so that it would seem as if
the piece represented years of patient APP
plication of the highest skill in this diff
cult branch of art. In point of fact,
however, the whole thing was produced
in a few hours, and at small expense, by
the new process of plating, the invention
of a Frenchmnn. Each bronze flower
and leaf ~incloses the real original, upon
which the metal has been deposited by
electric action, and it is affirmed that the
roses 80 encased retain indefinitely their
perfume, and, even in their deepest
interiors, their natural colors. The
same process is applied in the making'of
silver flies, beetles and other insects, and
even in the coating of lizards and small
snakes for the ornamentation of parasol
handles and cane heads. Tic dead insect
or reptile is Theoretically sealed up in its
metal coat, and, it is said, will never de-

on as thick as is deemed advisable, they
may be made to last us long as peoples
liking for them as a novelty endures.
The fidelity to nature in these r~eproduc-
tons is wonderful.
Heretofore something has been done in
the direction Of plating non-conducting

necessary imperfect process. The French
electrician substitutes for that a bath
the composition of which is q secret
into which the objects to be plated are
plunged for a few seconds. When they
are withdrawn they dry off almost i'm
mediatcly and seem to have ur IN them a
family disccrnable coating lk' the bloom
upon a plum. They are then plunged
into al electric bath, and any metal de-
sired is deposited upon them.-New York

A scientific gentleman not very long
ago declared it impossible that the tallest
sea wave could exceed six feet, because,
he added, the most furious tempest has
not a penetrating power beyond that
depth. 1t is to be supposed that he was
never off Cape Horn, and that he based
his theories on the disturbance during a
breezy hour of the surfaces of the Round
pond and the Regents canal. DIR.
Scoresby pronounced the seas of the At
lantic during heavy weather to run to a
height of from forty to forty-five feet.
This may well be regarded as a greatsea,
but it would be interesting to know tho
elevation of the waves of the south
Pacific in high ATTITUDES during n hurri-
cane, since it is certain that for magni-
tude and velocity the seas of the north
Atlantic are not comparable with the
stupendous folds which are set running
by the storm along the vast stretch of
waters which girdles the southern hem

a writer in The New York Tribune
tells tho story of the appearance of a
mans brain under n strong microscope
that is both interesting and suggestive.
In The brain matter, he says, were no
ticed curious markings, some geometri-
cal, some sinuous, and many others that
proved to be characters in the Ethiopic,
Syriac and Phunician languages, which
tho possessor of the brain, when alive,
had made n special study. Now for the
suggestive part. Perhaps some day
when a man dies we can take out his
brain, spread it on q microscopic slide,
and, in n peep, behold him as he really
wau, not as he pretended to be. Every
thing his mind ever took c~ognizance of
and formed nm opinion about will be open
before us like the page of a book.
No doubt the traceries will take pecu-
liar shapes sometimes. Perhaps the
brains of some young men, who died
young because they were good, will show
markings closely resembling champagne
bottles, night keys and fast horses. The
tracings in the brain of more than ono
good bald headed deacon may assume the
graceful forms of ballet girls, the sight of
which made such an impression on him
when alive and in the front row of the
theatre. Shapes that closely resemble
beautiful entrain and decollete dresses
may be expected in the craniums of So
cicty bellies called hence in the midst Of
their triumphs. In the brains of re-
porters will be noticed many ghastly
family and public secrets which, out Of
rcportorial goodness Of heart, never were
given out to the world. And so we
might continue nd intinitum, but we re-
frain. This scientiGc investigation must
not he pushed further. y key that opens
Il raau's secrets after he is dead might
not lie uuch a hilarious discovery after
all.-Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

AN Ex-MAYoR IN SIAM.
What Carter Harrison Saw in That Far
Distant Country-Curious Customs.

What Carter Harrison Saw in That Far
Distant Country-Curious Customs.
Polgamy is universal, and one sees at
the theatre q man in the dress circle OF
men, while thessife or wives and slaves
Qemale) are in Ste women's circle. All
classes chew the betel nut, and at the
theatre each family has the betel pot and
spittoon. The latter is carried by q
slave, who hands it to the ladies when
they wish to spit. The betel nut is
astringent n somewhat intoxicant. 1t
is chewed in connection with q paste
made of lime, tobacco and pepper leaf.
1t not only blackens the teeth, but cracks
the lips and SO Injuries the gums that the
teeth are caused to protrude and look
shaggy.
The king, princes and common people
are alike slaves to the nasty habit, and
half of the women AVE their mouths
injured, if not absolutely distorted by it.
Otherwise the women are decidedly
comely, having fine forms and good
gaits. Women and men dress SO nearly
alike that l could hardly distinguish one
from the other for several days, for ell
wear short hair.
The dress is a cloth called "~panoong,"
about two feet wide, wrapped around the
"ol'b, "llh ohc COIuCI uIuWh DGIN0Gn
the legs and caught in q girdle at the
waist. This makes n sort of flowing
trousers, falling to the knees. A gentle
man wears a coat (sacque) closely but
toned to the neck, with long stockings
and low shoes. The common man dis
penses with the coat, stockings and shoes.
The woman generally allows the ''pa-
noong" to hang like q petticoat, and
wraps about her breast q girdle, leaving
the upper part of the bosom and shoulders
entirely bare, and mono wear shoes.
Many of the working women dispense
with the girdle entirely. The great mass
OF people, even in the city, go barelegged
n barefooted. This is universal in the
country.
The women appeared to be industrious,
and perform much more than half the
work. The pen are lazy, and, with the
exception of fishing, appear to be willing
to leave the women to earn the bread.
All are inveterato gamblers, and one
rarely sees q gambling house, of which
there are a great many, otherwise than
full. They are entirely open to the
street, ANA or river, and at night are
distinguished by their many lights.
L was told the king would gladly lessen
the number of these gambling places, but
could not dispense with the revenue they
bring in. The inveterate habit of gam
bling is the nus of q large part of the
peoples slavery. They sell their children
and themselves to get funds for its graft
fication. The willy Chinese monopolize
the gambling houses, as, indeed, they do
nearly all the avenues of wealth and
nearly all kinds of business which require
industry and skill. Bankok has over
$4,000 of these people, many of whom
have acquired large fortunes and hold
prominent positions. They arc the bust
ness men and the cooks for the Europeans
who live here, and to my surprise the
walters in the princes dining rooms wore
pigtails. Carter Harrison in
Chicago Mail.
