Furnishing Wife Beaters.

Some body has sent us copy of the
Hagers town (Md.0 Globe that contain.
ed 8 marked article giving an account
of the punishment that was administer
ed at the whipping post to Daniel G.
Herbert aresident of that neignbor
for beating his WIFE This is he new
method of punishment for wife beating
prescribed by the law recently enacted
in Maryland. Herbert had come home
intoxicated, and after abusing his wife
with curses and blows he proceeded TO
choke her until she became insensibe.
He was sentenced to receive fifteen
lashes on the bare bact, which the
Sheriff laid on with his fnll strength.
From the tone of the paper in which
the account of the whipping is given
there 1oes not appear to be any mawk
ishsentiment tentertained,i in Hagerstown
against this way of furnishing men who
beat their wives. There can be no
question that 'the punishment fits the
crime,' and it is to be regretted that
other States do not follow the example
of Maryland in giving the similar tr, a.
ment to this kind of human brute.
The only fault to be found with the
proceedings in the casa published by
the Hagerstown papsr is that the lashes
were limited 10 fifteen. They should
not have been one less than fifty

A wonderful cave.
THE BODIES OF A STRANGE RAoR prsoovRRRr
IN COLORADO.

Last Thursday iight week as
the story goes, the night-shift in the
Minnie Mine, at Aspen, Colorado, put in
two thirty-incb holes in the breast Of FIVE
hundred foot level aud fired the blast Just
before leaving for the surface. On return
ing to the mine 1t was found that the two
shots had broken into cave, the extent OF
which they proceeded to explore. Going
10 few feet they found the walls covered
with crystalized lime and lead that glitter
cd like diamonds. Here and there little
stalactites hung from the ceiling. The
lime formation resembled lace aod frieze
OF wondrous beauty. The cave had des-
cent OF about twenty degrees, and they
found rooms and chambers grand beyond
description.
They had entered about two hundred
feet when they found flint axe. A little
further was a pool Of fresh water, and q
stroLg current Of fresh air was felt Furth-
er on chamber was discovered covered
with brownish muck that was sticky.
Gilfillan, who was in. the lead, suddenly
stopped and said "There sits boy"
Sure enough, there sat human form. The
head was resting on the knees and the
arms were drawn around the legs Indian
fashion. A stone bowl and axe were
found beside the figure The body was
well preserved, but in trying to lift it one
arm broke off it. Other bodies in different
attitudes were found in the chamber, but
when disturbed they crumbled. One stone
man was brought out with the loss Of arms
and feet. The discovery has caused great
excitement In Aspen, as the bodies do not
seem to be those of Indians.

A Rantiooke Man Killed by a Shot Intend
I'd for ThleYes

On the 10th a peculiar and fatal ac.
cident occurred at Nanticoke. Frank
Lorenson, young man of 25, residing
on church street, has lost some of bis
pigeons lately and suspected that
thieves had stolen them.
The birds were kept in the loft OF
the barn. AT last he hit upon a plan
which he fancied would put stop to
these depredations. He secured a
large navy revolver, loaded it, suspend.
ed it from beam just inside the door,
with the muzzle pointing to the door
cooked the weapon and adjusted to the
hammer string in such manner al
to cause the opening of the door to ex.
plode the revolver.
He went away and awaited deyelope-
ments. Next day he went to the barn,
and apparently forgetting about the
trap, pulled open the door. AT the
same instant there was an explosion
and the young man fell upon the floor,
the bullet having entered his body a
few inches below the heart
Neighbors bore him TO his home
and DR.. Davis was called. The sur
geon plobed for the ball but did not
find it and had to abandon the prob
ing because of the weak condition of
the patient. He died that afternoon.

DANGER IN GRAPE SEEDS.
THE LIFE OF A NEW YORKER ENDANGERED
BY SWALLOWING THEM.

Will am Walton a young business
man of New York associated with his
father, w. 4. Walton, in the fancy dry
goods business, is suffering from the
Judgement offs grape seed in the narrow
vermiform appendix Of the caecum.
Young Mr.. Walton has submitted to
the necessary surgical operation but
his life still hangs in the balance.
The vermiform appendix is tall-like
appendage of the caecum, which is
located on the right side of the bowels.
Its average diameter is about the size
of a pipe stem. 1t terminates in a
bluut point and if any substance which
can not be absorbed (-uch as grape
seed, an orange seed, or an lemon seed
finds its way there it will in time pro-
duce inflammation. Then a surgical
operation becomes necessary in order
10 save patients life, as an abscess is
likely TO form, which, if not promptly
treated, will surely cause death.
According to the statement of a
physician of prominent standing the
first operation necessary in a case of
this kind was successfully performed
by the late Dr. Sands about the time
he was associated with DIR. Fordyce
Barker in the case of the late Hon.
Roscoe Conkling. g

A SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.
AN ENGLISH INVENTION WHICH PERMITS
THE PASSAGE OF LIGHT.

1t is impossible to conceive anything
that could supersede glass in the mat.
ter of transparency, but in respect Of
brittleness and rigidity it is very far
from being a perfect material. A SUBJ
stitute is now proposed, which if 1t
lacks the transparency is free from the
defects mentioned. To describe it
briefly, it is fine wire netting covered
with prepared varnish which permits
the light to pass through as freely as
glass of the variety known as cathed-
raj. 1t is almost as flexible as sheet
of canvas, and is absolutely air-tight
and water tight. DR.. Ford, the inven-
tor, has been working at the problem
for years, and after experimenting with
many products he found that he could.
by passing the wire netting through a
series of baths of linseed oil chemical
ly prepared, produce material with
the properties of amber. 1t is at once
tough aud elastic, and cannot be brok-
en- even by very considerable weight
falling upon it.
The London company that is work.
ing the patent displayed in the Roy
al Aquarium recently number of pro-
ductions in which the new material is
utilized, but perhaps the most striking
OF all was the roofing of the aquarium
itself. Unless ones attention was di-
rected to the roof of the building it
would never strike a visitor that the
dome was not covered with glass, but
with the new transparent material. In
their last report the directors of the
aquarium state that the change has
effected saving of over f200 a year
in glass and labor, aud there is now no
danger of falling glass and that the
insurance rate has been reduced by 25
per cent. The material is made in
sheets ten feet by four feet, and by the
use of varnish on the Overlapping edges
they are practically connected into one
great covering. 1t is unaffected by
heat upto 2S0 degrees and is a non
conductor. The initial cost is perhaps
greater than cheap glass, but the new
material compares favorably with the
dearer qualities, and its durability
must of course, be taken into consider
alton. A coarser material, termed
carboline, is being utilized for the roofs
and walls of soldiers huts, and we are
informed that the Government has
given orders for its use. Experiments
are being made In garden forcing
houses, and if the exclusion of the suns
rays is no drawback, then the gain in
durability will be very gaeat.--PaU

BRowN.sEQUARD's DISCOVERY.
PHYSICIANS IN culCAGo WHO THINK ITS
VIRTUES MOSTLY DUE TO IMAGINATION
IN THE PATIENT

PHYSICIANS IN CHICAGO WHO THINK ITS
VIRTUES MOSTLY DUE TO IMAGINATION
IN THE PATIENT.
The physicians of Chicago do not
seem to be of one mind in regard to
the merits of DIR. Brown-Sequard's
elixir. 81 can't say that l have very
much faith in the elixir" said DR..
John A. Benson. 81 have been using
IL for some time, aud to tell the truth,
1t dosen't seem to me that there is
much to it. But do not say there is
nothing in 1t, for believe in giving
everything fair show, and | cannot
feel disposed to condemn theory be-
fore it has fairly been put into practice,
but in speaking as do l have ref
erence merely to my own experiments. :"
"Then you have used the elixir in
your practicel"
ooh yes, have already made a
good many experiments with it, and il
is from the result of them that derive
the opinions l gave you"
"And did none of the persons you
treated feel the rejuvenating effect of
the fluid injected
"Well, when the patient knew what
had been doing he felt better, or
thought he did. So far, however, it
has been my observation that the per-
son treated noticed the good effect only
when he or she knew what had been
done. This beng true, it goes long
way towards proving that the imagina-
tion has a good deal to do with this
elixir. However, think it may be in
the case of most persons the fluid has
the effect of a stimulant, and that for
the time being it may strengthen them,
but it dosen't appear that its effect
will be lasting.
"One or two things have struck me
as being very extraordinary, suppos
ing that the elixir has the properties
claimed for it. One of my cases was
that of an old gentleman who was
very in6rm. Well, told him ] would
experiment upon him According
ly 1 went to his house Instead of
filling the syringe with the fluid put
milk and water into it and injected
that into the old mans system. Now,
believe me when say that the
old man told me an hour later that he
felt much better and for day or two
he insisted that he never felt so well 10
his life. did not tell the old gentle
man what l had done, and since that
time he has thought himself grea
deal stronger than he has been fol
years. / have not the least doubt that
he did feel better, but it was imagina
ton that accomplished it all, and mo-
the milk and water injected into his
system.
DIR. Charles Gilman Smith said that
he thought it possible that there was
something in the discovery. "And,
he said, sit is very possible there is
nothing in it. / myself have not made
any experiment with the elixir, but ]
have read much and thought much
about the matter. In talking with
those who have made the experiments
and in my reading found many differ
ent opinions. Some doctors are favor
able to the elixir, and others are against
it. l think however, that the majority
of the doctors are inclined to condemn
the elixir. AS to the real value oi
DIR. Brown-Sequard's discovery can
not speak positively"

A very interesting calculation has
rec ,ntly been made by the Statistical
Bureau in Berlin. Four-fifLhs of the
p>wer machines at present in activity
IN the world have been erected during
he pas twenty-five years. The coun-
try that possesses the highest amount of
morse power is the United States, with
100000 horse power; then follow
England, with 100000 Germany,
with 4,500,00O ; France, with 3,OH0,
900, and Austro Hungary, with l,5OO,-
900 These figures do not include To-
comotives, Of which there are 10000
At work, with total horse power of
3,00O,O0O. Thus the total horse pow
er in the world is 46,OO0,OO0. A
steam 'horse power is equivalent to
hree actual horses strength, and each
living horse represents the strength of
'even men. Thus the total horse pow
or of the entire world represents the
work of 1,000,000,0a0 MN, or more
than twice the working population
OF the earth. Steam has thus
tripled the entire human work pow, =
of the earth.

A story for Music Lovers.
HOW RossiNl EXPLAINED HIS REASONS FOR
SITTING BEHIND AN EMPTY PLATE.

Rossini, who had always ie mot pour rire,
used to say: "1n olden times they used to
compose music for the brain and for the
ears; but it seems to me that nowadays
people are quite content when the thing
looks we'll" This, l feel confident, was
often his guiding opinion. For instance,
when Meycrbeer gave "The Huguenots, "
his lawyer and Coreligionaire Cremieum
gave luncheon, where he invited some
influential friends to meet Meyerbeer.
Rossini, one Of the guests, ate nothing.
Nine. Cremieux, with the lynx eye of
any hostess who has people around her ta-
BILE invited for meal, suddenly bounced
upon her abstemious guest with that ques-
ton which every lady imagines must go
straight to the heart Of her guests. ~ am
sure, NJ. Rossini, you don't like that dish ;
one can not easily please such a fine con-
noisseur as you are" "Pardon, madame,
that ia not at all the reason. but never eat
between my breakfast and my dinner OF
course, you will ask me why, then, did l
N'A's w " i"oShSoh Paity' Will tch YOU
The other day l was invited to hear a per-
formance Of my William Tell overture
At the moment the allegro begins l saw
two men in the band putting their trump
cts up, but could not for the life of me
hear one note; so asked the manager why
they did not play. oh, that is very sim
ple,' he said. 4 could not get two trump.
eters, but thought I'd get some men TO
hold up the trumpet. II always looks we'll
to see trumpets in an orchertra; but, of
course, as they can't play, you can't hear
them.' Now, can't eat any more than
they could play; but as Meyerbeer, who is
so superstitious, would haye taken it for a
bad omen If 1 had sent an excuse, |
thought l would just sit behind my plate,
because 1t looks well TO have old friends
sit round ones table "-TemnIe Ror
