A striking proof of the uncertainty OF
physiognomy in determining mans char
acter, to say nothing of the nature OF
his deeds, may be seen at glance at the
rogue's gallery in this city. Three pictures
were placed before visitor one day. He
knew from the circumstances that they
were criminals. One he fixed upon unhesi
tatingly as brutal murderer, another as
swindler, and the third looked so much like
benevolent clergyman that the visitor dis
liked to rate him any where, but finally put
him down as thief.
"He might have mania for stealing
books from libraries" said the visitor,
alphabetically. ~ -"
Turning to the backs of the photographs
the visitor read the summarized records OF
the three. The ''murderer's' worst crime
had been the snatching of money from
lady's hand as she was carelessly display
ing it in the street; the ''swindler' had
committed an atrocious murder, and the
benevolent-looking "thief" was the keeper
of an in famous resort. And the visitor
thought he knew something about physi-
ognomy and human nature, too. ;,s,.-e, :.

.Arter this period has passed away,
there may be cessation of the symptoms
of paresis, and his friends begin to hope
that the patient may recover. This period
may last five or six months, but with the
certainty of fate the apparent soundness of
mind vanishes, and the wild mental pict-
ures return with greater force than before.
The disease then makes its way, with prob
ably recurring periods of sanity, but they
are always shorter, and the inevitable end
comes. ~ 19ssV--ss-~~~s-~'-~a
with the progress of the disease the
frame wastes away, the strength leaves
the patient, the muscles become fiabby and
general paralysis sets in. At the last stage
Of his illness the patient becomes devoid of
consciousness, incapable of motion, his eyes
are lusterless, saliva oozes from his mouth
and he fades away from earth. Asr-as~sn0.
"Men are almost always the victims of
paresis, and they generally vary in age
from forty to forty-five years. Only one
per cent. or thereabout of known cases of
paresis are women. Alcohol and overwork
in an irregular way and in irregular hours
are the causes OF paresls. ssslabt--SonInssr~s
Excessive mental work, with recourse
to narcotics, alcohol or other stimulants,
frequently causes paresis. This is fire.

lawyers, journalists and others who insist
on working sixteen hours day, and who
employ stimulants to keepup their strength
instead of getting natural rest" ~ssss~. 4

Mammy's Family Pride.

In the olden times the negroes OF the
Southern plantation and the household
were as proud of the social position of their
masters as any Of the children, and as
anxious for the good name of any member
of the family. The Southern Bivouac once
told of an old Florida nanny who showed
her pride in a quaint and characteristic
style. Her young masters, both lads, were
conscripted and ordered to Pensacola.
They were taking fearful leave of friends,
when the old "mammy'' exclaimed: "Now,
young masters, stop dis hyer cryin'; GO
and fight for your country like men, and
mind, don't disgrace the family, nor me
nuther." -AN

DOG EATING DOG.
The Remarkable Self Possession of a Chi

The Remarkable Self-POssessior of a Chi
cago Newspaper Man.
A married woman attended a party at
the home Of friend where they keep one
of those roguish little pets, pug ldog. She
related to Chicago Mail man the follow
ing story, in which young man who is
connected with morning paper in Chicago
and the pug dog were mixed up, and said
she did not know which one the joke was
on, and would leave it to me. The young
man was detained at the Office until it was
too late to 60 to his home for dinner and get
to the house where he was invited in season.
He therefore stopped into a convenient
restaurant and bought some Frankfort
sausages, which he crammed into the
tail pockets of his Prince Albert coat, in
tending to eat them on the way. No
sooner had he left the restaurant than
he met gentleman who was on his
way to the same party and accompanied
him. This, OF course, gave him no op-
portunity to eat his lunch, and he went
to the house with, the sausages in his
pocket. There he was doomed to more dis
appointment, for the pug dog, in wonder
fully short time, caught the scent and fol-
lowed him about whenever he moved, sniff
ing at his coat tails and giving an Occa-
sional bark This attracted more or less
attention. Presently the young man, who,
by the way, is musical, was asked to per-
form on the piano. He declined, knowing
of the danger he would be subjected to, but
without avail. When he sat on the piano
stool he could not do otherwise than let his
coat-tails hang down behind. While he
played the dog got in his work, and soon
had the sausages strung out on the floor
and was chewing vigorously at them. Amld
a roar of laughter the newspaper chal
played on coolly, and even repeated par
of the piece until the noise had somewha
subsidized. Then he arose, turned around
looked calmly at the dog grawing at an(
swallowing the sausages, and said M,
triends. this is a case of dog eat dog"

Impracticable People.

We may, with very little inquietude, see
a man persist in project which he has
found to be impracticable-live in an incon-
venient house because it was contrived by
himself, or wear a coat Of particular cut
in hopes by perseverance to bring it into
fashion. These are indeed follies; but they
are only follies, and however wild or ri
diculous. can very little affect others. In
deed, the folly Of persisting in imprac-
ticable ideas is generally visited only on our
selves.

A LECTURE ON LABOR.

General Worthy Foreman Wheat Ad.
dresses a Small Audience.
General Worthy Foreman Morris L.
Wheat, of the knights of Labor, lectured
last night at Lafayette Hall on land,
money and transportation. Although this was
the first public lecture delivered here by the
high official of the great labor organization,
there was very small attendance. 1t was one
of the most interesting lectures on the prob.
blems of the day ever delivered here, and the
speaker was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause-
At S o'clock there were onIyS people in the
hall and Master Workman Ross was Somewhat
discouraged 1t was decided to hold the meet
ing anyway, and Mr.. Ross appeared on the stage
and introduced the speaker, He said he was
not accustomed to talk to empty benches, and
did not think it was possible that Pittsburg
people took so little interest in labor subjects.
He had lectured in many cities in the country
and said that he had never addressed SO small
an audience before. When he began talking a
number of persons entered the hall and almost
every seat on the first floor was occupied before
the close of the lecture
The speaker was evidently discouraged over
his reception, for he introduced his remarks by
saying: PLEASE remain in this room until am
through and will not a4f1ict you again with
my presence" He spoke of trusts and corners
put on the necessaries of life and condemned
monopolists Jay Gould and other capitalists
were severely scored.
In speaking on the land question, he said
that English noblemen owned 22,0O0 900 acres
of land in this country and that the land
lord system that has cursed Ireland might
some day be curse to the country.
The lecturer believes the Government
should own the railroads and telegraph He
said that one man could now cause a panic in
the country. The only solution is the plan pro-
posed by the Knights of Labor, and the order
will not die until monopoly is buried in a grave
from which there Is no resurrection.
In talking on politics, the speaker recon-
mp0OeQ A n
that by this system only two persons will know
how you vote, yourself and Almighty God.

Washington now to receive my Instructions

this reason do not care to say what will do,

Court House Employees to Come Out in
Uniform-Why the Engineers Offer
Objections.
On next Monday the Court House en-
ployes under Superintendent J. C. Mercer
will den blue cloth uniforms, garnished
with white buttons, on which will be the seal of
the county, Maltese crosses on the caps num-
bered from ! up, and each department win be
distinguished by badges bearing inscriptions
such as elevator" "watchman, J" ''engineer," /"
etc.
The object of the arrangement is the con-
venience of the public. which is often nom
plussed because the particular person wanted
cannot be distinguished at present. People
will also find it convenient IN case they have
complaints to make of any dereiiction
of duty, and at the same time
the man who does his duty will be protected
from unjust suspicion for the shortcomings
of another. So far. it is said, only the engin-
neers object to the arrangement and their OBJ
lection would seem to carry some weight, viz:
on uniforms of fine blue cloth, which are some
what expensive. They also contend that their
contact with the public is not of that fire.
Quency which makes it imperative that they
should be uniformed.
1t has been suggested that men who are re-
quired tc wear uniforms should be furnished
them by the powers compelling obedience, Just
as the United States furnishes uniforms to
soldiers There is one mitigating feature how
ever, about the order in the case of the Court
House employees, and that is that the buttons
badges, etc., can be removed when off duty
and the uniforms be, in a few moments, con-
verted into very respectable wearing apparel
for general purposes, and were an employe to
lose his situation, he would not be out of
pocket by means of his enforced dress.

from SO doing by the officers. They hurried
him to the Grant engine honse, where he was

Yesterday and last night be was expectorating
blood and matter, and complained of pains in
his breast This shows he was burned inter

His family went to the heating company,
whose gas pipes run alongside where Bittner
was sitting, and complained to them about the
matter. They blame it upon Mr.. Huckenstein,
whose wagons are hauling the debris away.
The officers nf the company say Huckenstein's
men drove over the pipes and broke them,
causing them to leak. The escaping gas en-
tered the old buildings, and the light coming
into contact with the gas caused the explosion.

THOSE NEW FURNACES.

MIR. FlagIer VIII Resign the Presidency
Directors Meet To day to Complete the

The directors of the National Tube Works

Manager J. 81. Flagler said last evening
that the directors of the new furnace com.
pany would meet to-day to complete the organ
ization and give out the contracts for building
them. Mr.. Flagler will resign the Presidency
of the company in favor of E. c. Converse.
Two furnaces will be built at McKeesport
with capacity of 200 tons each per day. The
company intend to build them on the most
modern plan, and when finished they will he

would get the best. The product wifi be used
in making pipe in the tube works. They will
buy some iron, but 1t is expected the two fur-
naces will be sufficient to supply the works
Mr.. Flagler believes that they can make their
own pig neral cheaper than they can buy il
from the Mahoning. and Shenango furnace
men.
The work on the two furnaces will be com.
menced at once. The ground will be broken in
a few days.

This amounts to about 100 tons for the year. or

The regulation Of fluid temperature at the
Court House falls on Superintendent ]. c.
Mercer. He states he cannot estimate what
this years consumption will likely be. as he has
no data to go on. Before he went TO the new
house the consumption was from the middle OF
May until the last of November 133, $50 pounds,
little over SO tons. Now, however, ice is used
the whole year, as the supply OF water is stored
in tank and is unfit for use without ice at any
season. Then the number Of coolers Is three
times as great as formerly, and they are
charged twice day instead of once, as OF yore.
It will be that there is criterion in the
case it may require $50 tons this year, especially
as beer Is not SO generally convenient 70 the

In one of the great iron manufacturing firms
of this city the ice supply is distributed to the
