How Embalming is Done.

The process of embalming is as fol- lows, and is called the "Brunnelli pro- cess" The circulatory system is cleans ed by washing with cold water till 1t is sues quito clear from the body. This may occupy from two to five hours. AL cohol is injected so as to abstract as much water as possible. This occupies about a quarter of an hour. Ether is thon injected to abstract the fatty mat ter. This occupies from two to ten hours. A strong solution of tannin is then injected. This occupies for imbi- bition from two to ten hours. The body is then dried in a current of warm air passed over heated chloride of calcium. This may occupy two to five hours. The body is then perfectly preserved, and resists decay. The Italians exhibit specimens which are as hard stone, re- tain the shape perfectly and are equal to the best wax models. It will be ob- served in this process that those sub- stances most prone to decay arc removed, and the remaining portions are conver- ted by the tannin into substance re- sembhng leather.

A British Ship Destroyed by Formo-
 sans-The Crew Missing.
 Advices from China and Japan by the steamship Gaelic just arrived at San Francis. co, report that the British ship Angl Indian left Shanghai, whore she had been unloading her cargo of kerosene oil from New York, on jan. to proceed to Iioilo, to load sugar for England. While the vessel was running be- fore a strong northwest wind, making about eleven knots an hour, the ship went aground on q sand bank with great force. ''>

DOWN THE BEREAVEMENT.
Many Passengers Injured in Seri-
 OuS Accident.

OuS AcCluchl.
 The Northern Central train, which is due n Elmira N. Y., at 1915 p. m., met with seri- ous accident. Fortunately there were no fatal results When about mile this side of Ralston, Pa, the rear car of the train jump ed the track, and, detaching itself from the remainder of the train, rolled over an embank- ment about fifteen feet high and landed bot tom up in creek at the foot of the embank- ment. There were twenty-seven passengers ill the car and they were all thrown into a promiscuous heap in the upper portion ofthe car, which was upside down. Conductor William Dale of Elmira was standing in the forward end of the car when it was precipita- ted down the embankment. He was thrown violently against its side and pinioned there by car seats, the rear occupants falling upon him. His injuries are the m ost serious of any of the cars occupants, although his physician says there are no bones broken, and thinks that he will fully recover in very short time
 Out of the twenty people on the car there was not one that escaped bruises and cuts and severe shaking up.
 A. D. Oberlon was seriously hurt He re- ceived dangerous bruises on the chest. His head wns bleeding and his hand was badly cut. colored woman fell heavily across his body and her husband stood with his feet on his chest. The accident was caused by a broken rail- The coaches passed safely over the break until tho rear cnr was reached, and it is simply marvellous that the whole train was not wrecked. A dire calamity was undonbted prevented by tho fact that the train was heated by steam. Had the cars been heated ny stoves, as they were until recently, the overturned coach would certainly have caught fire and the thirty passengers would have been roast ed alive before succor could have reached them. As it was, if the lamps in the top of the car had not been cxtingushed when it over turned, there is no telling what might have happened. Several of the passengers were more or less burned by contact with the heated pipes, and received severe sprains and bruises by being caught between the pipes but none seriously How all of the pnssen gers escaped alive is a matter of great won dcrment, and can only be credited to wonder full good fortune.

Women Who Shave.

''Did you ever shave a woman?" was the queer question put to a barber by customer who was being shaved. ''Many timc," said tho barber, who went on to tell his experience in that line of business. ''Ihero are ladies in town who have quite q mustache, and others who have something like chin beard, and I have operated on both kinds. l shaved the upper lip of lady yesterday afternoon to prepare her to go out to party. She keeps down the growth of hair by clipping it, but she wanted to look extra fine on this occa- sion. Some of them who are troubled as sho is pull out the hairs few at a timo till they get rid of the whole growth, and there is now an electrical way of removing them without pain from any part of tho face, but I know ladies who get barbcrs to shave them at times, and others who can shave them selves just like men.

A Rabbit that Whips Dogs.

There is a large white male Angora rabbit that hops about the Rambo House stable yard that excitcs considerable at tention from the fact that, instead of seeking safety upon the appearance of any strange dog in the yard, it at once becomes pugnacious and attacks the in truding canine. The rabbit was as timid as any other representative of its species when it was placed in the yard several months ago to keep company with large handsome St. Bernard dog that is familiarly known by the name of Topsy. A friendship sprang up at once between the two, and their daily romps together surprise every one visiting the hotel.
 The other day well-known physician entered the yard accompanied by very large dog. He saw the rabbit and dog at play, and was greatly surprised and amused to see the rabbit catch the dog by the throat and shake it vigorously. He expressed doubts that the rabbit would attack his dog in the same man. ner, and upon being assured it would, urged his dog on. The dog made a spring at the rabbit, which was on the alert, and secured its favorite grip upon the dogs throat, where it chung, midst the howls of the dog, until compelled to let go it's hold.-NOrrist0aon 1imes

A Veritablc She-Dcvil.

An investigation held at Rochester, N. Y, into tho management of the Hubbel Park Orphan Asylum by tho State Board of Char. ties at the instance of the Humane Society, has developed startling facts. Two sessions of the Investigating board have been held with closed doors, and the matter has been carefully kept from publication. The facts gradually leaked out and have caused great. indignation. Witnesses, former nurses of the asylum, swore that the matron, Mrs. Louisa Knight, has re pcatcdly whipped the little children com mittcd to her charge on the bare skin with rawhdcs until their flesh was cut in pieces and blood ran down their bodies; that she has caused the children to be tied up ill bags and placed in dark closets and in the cellar for dsobcdence; that she has discharged a valuable nurse for giving n drink of water to child that had been severely whipped; that she was guilty. of great neglect in cases of sickness among the children, and that she committed many other acts of cruelty. The managers of the asylum deny these charges in the face of this testimony. and tue matter will probably go the courts.

A Letter to a Western Tariff Re
 form Convention.

A Letter to Western Tariff Re-
 form Convention.
 The following is the text of 8 letter con- cerning which there has been much specula- ton in advance by tho press of the country:
 Executive Mansion,
 Washington, January 24. 1889. John z. White Esq, Secretary, etc..
 "Dear Sir: 1 have eceived the invitation of the ariff-Reform League to be present at the Convention of taritf-reformers to be held in the city of Chicago on the 19th 20th, and 21st of February, 1889. 1 have also read the circular of the League accompanying this in vitation, in which the objects and purposes of the proposed convention are specifically set forth. The scheme of practical and eff cient work therein described meets with my hearty approval and promises, if honestly adhered to, the most valuable aid in the fur theranee of 0 cause which is very near to the interests and welfare of our people.
 "The danger which we have to guard against is the misleading of our countrymen by spacious theories, cunningly contrived, and falsely offering to the people relief from beneficent rule under the sanction of free in stitutions. The declared purposes of your League will not be uttained until, all those interested in the economic question which is now pressed upon their attention, are freed from all sophistries and clouding fallacies, and until the subject of tariff reform is pre- scented to them as a topic involving the re- lief of the land, in their homes, from useless and unjust expense.
 "The question is 8 simple and plain one, and needs but to be fairly presented to be un- derstood. It is the positive duty of your organization to guard the people against de- ception. ,S, My extreme interest in the work which your League has undertaken and in the ex- pressed objects of the proposed Convention would lead me to accept your invitation if it were possible to do so. but my public duties here positively prevent such acceptance Hoping that the Convention will be very sue. cessful, aud with an earnest wish for the prosperity and success of your League in its efforts to enlghten and benefit the people, am yours very truly,
 "GROvER CLEVELAND.
