The Union army during the war was a let

in the hospital their anxiety to send home
letters compelled the nurses TO 90 about with
note paper rolled up in a magazine and stuck
with pens and ink in an apron pocket.
They had also the sad task of answering
letters inquiring after husbands, sons and
brothers, who had been reported wounded
One came 70 a nurse On the James river,
from a wife asking after her husband. She
wrote:

to keep ''all taut," in nautical parlance, when

1t was Mr.. Evarts who preserved the
reputation of the Hayes regime, when
Mrs. Hayes and the Ladies' Ebenezer
Temperance association OF Washing
ton were doing all they could TO des-
troy it Mr.. Evarts had a colored man
named Pete" who services were in
valuable on the occasions of White
House dinners. He had charge of
what the boys used to call "Evarts'
private distillery," and when mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and other
patrons emerged from it on their way
to join Mrs. Hayes and the ladies, Pete
used to dispatch them with the warn
ing: DE gemmen will please get froo
wipen off dar moufs befo' settin' down

they think of Pete and the private

curlou. Mental phenomenn.

Under the above heading the current
number of The Revue Rose publishes an
interesting summary of an account re-
Gently communicated to the Societe de
Biologie by M. Fere, and in which are
embodied some of his experiences of the
effect of ether on persons at the point of
death. 1t is n well known fact that the
dying arc often able to sec the principal
facts of their lives, which otherwise have
been forgotten for many years, clearly
and accurately before them. The reason
for this clairvoyance Mr.. Fere ascribes to
a sudden modification of the cerebral
circulation, which can also be brought
about by artificial means. Thus he tells
of n case of n patient who was dying of
consumption. He had already lost con-
seriousness, when, having been revived
by two successive injections of one
gramme of ether, the dying man slowly
raised his head and rapidly pronounced
a string of words, which no one neal
him was able to understand, as they were
Flemish.
After some movements indicating i'm
patience he made n sign that he wished
to write. A paper and pencil were then
handed to him, and he wrote rapidly
three or four lines, also In Flemish. This
man, who was a native of Antwerp, had
lived in Paris for many years and never
wrote or spoke anything but French: but
when dying he seemed to be unable to
recollect that language. Afterwards it
was found that his pencil note was about
a debt of fifteen francs, which he had
borrowed from somebody at Brussels in
1868 and which had never peer paid.
In another case the patient was dying
of lung disease. He had tainted several
times and no longer replied to any ques-
lions put to him; his pulse vas all gone,
but after an injection of ether he turned
his head towards his wife, saying rapid
ly: "You will not find that pin, for all
the floor has been remade," which was
an allusion to an incident of eighteen
years ago. After u~ttering these words
breathing ceased.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A small, box like thing, with glass
sides that show the machinery inside, Is
what the voter sees when he approaches
the opening to the little booth into which
each voter must enter to record his
choice. This booth is the same as those
used in the Australian system, and is
necessary to the secrecy of the ballot.
The voter approaches, lifts the lid of the
box, which act causes a bell to ring, and
finds himself In the presence of an ap-
paratus much like the finger board of n
typewriter. There before him are the
names of all the candidates, all those of
each political party being printed on pa
of illiterate voters.
You press the buttons of your choice
and you have voted. The machine re-
cords accurately the number of the vote
and also records tho whole number of
voters who have opened the machine.
Repeating is impossible. You may push
away at the button all day, and 1t will
just as persistently keep on recording
the same number. Not until the cover
of the box has been closed can another
number be recorded. If q voter attempts
to close the cover and vote again the
bell rings and properly consigns him to
the porridge.
When the polls arc closed the face of
the machine shows the total number Of
voters who have cast their ballots. I'm
lock Inc machine and the papers inside
show just the number of votes for each
candidate. The judges verify the num-
bers, add their signatures, inclose the
papers in n sealed envelope and go home
to supper and to repose; or they may
hasten to the telegraph office to hear tho
returns from other precincts, Before 0
o'clock tho result of the election is known
toevery one, and all may go tobed when
they please.-St. Paul Globe.

Tho military custom of saluting by
bringing the hand into a horizontal
position over the eyebrows is supposed
to date back to the tournaments of the
Middle Ages, when, after the Queen of
Beauty was enthroned, the Knights
who were to take part in the sports of
the day marched past the dais on
which she sat, and rs they passed
shielded their eyes from tho rays of
her beauty. The principal part Of the
officers salute, kissing the hilt of the
sword, dates also from tho Middle
Ages. When the Crusaders wero on
the march TO the Holy City, tho Knights
were in the daily custom of plant
ing their long two hand swords up
right in tho ground, thereby forming
a cross, and before these they per-
formed their morning devotions. On
all military occasions they kissed the
hits Of their swords in token of de-
votion TO the Cross, for the prayers of
the soldiers were formerly considered
of such efficacy that they were made
an essential part of their duty.-True

venu. a. /. Sitter World.

While watching these graceful wind
ings of the planet, we naturally inquire
as to is real condition Readers are fa-
miliar with the idea that 1t is a world
like u own earth, travelling in q smaller
but otherwise almost similar orbit around
the sun. On more minute inquiry we
find that h likeness between it and our
earth is in some points very great
greater, in fact, than in the case Of any
other planet. In the fundamental ele-
ment of size they are almost alike, our
earth being 1900 miles in diameter, and
Venus 1900. The force of gravity on
the surface OF the latter is very nearly
nine-tenths of what 1t Is with us Its
density is almost the same fraction as
that Of the earth. These facts show that
il transported to the surface Of Venus
we should feel more at home, so far as
some essential features of experience are
concerned, than On any other planet
known to us. We should weigh just
about nine-tenths of our present weight,
and should find distances bearing much
the same ratio to our muscular power of
walking that they do in this world; while
in all probability the surface rocks and
earth, If such be formed there, would be
compacted and constructed like those we
daily see around us.
This would not be the case on planets
so much smaller than the earth, as Mer-
cur or Mars, or so much larger, as Ju-
piter, Saturn or Neptune. Again, the
year IN Venus would be about 225 days
in length, n good deal more like what we
have IN the earth than Is the case on
any other planet. In the length of the
day we should find a still more home
like experience, as the difference would
be imperceptible except to careful OBJ
servation- Venus rotates in twenty
three hours, twenty-one minutes, twenty
eight seconds, and the earth In twenty
three hours, fifty-six minutes, four Sec
onds. The day. of course, depends a
little upon the motion of the sun in the
sky, but the difference between this, as
seen on u earth and from Venus, would
not appreciably affect the similarity of
the days in each. These likenesses to
the length of our day and year and to
our worlds density would cause a SINH
larity, In all probability, In the impor-
tant matters Of mountain form and of
vegetation. In fact, 30 far Venus is
nearly the twin sister of our world

A great many people think water gas
cheaper because it is made out of oil.
This Is u mistake. The greatest differ
ence between the cost of coal and water
gas is in the matter of labor. The max
ing of coal gas requires skilled labor of
the best kind, and ut better compensa-
ton than is usually given to labor of
this class. The work is very hot and re,
quires the closest attention, so hat the
chance mar cannot DO engaged for it.
The man who does 1t acceptably must
have been educated In it, and must be
steady and devoted to his work. In the
manufacture of water gas this labor is
cut off, and the saving represents the
large part of the difference between the
cost of tho gas manufactured from coal
and that produced from oil.-St- Louis

QUEER POLICY.

There can be no dispute over the fact
hat this is an of year in railroad construc-
ton. The season opened with apparently
the most promising prospects. In the
case OF some companies construction was
for a short time pushed with a vigor and
enthusiasm which equalled anything seen
in the country.
But a sudden change has come e'er the
spirit of our dreams, and where much has
been expected we begin to fear that little
will be realized The Burlington is now
moving at a snail's pace on its Alliance
extension; the Northwestern appears to
have abandoned all ideas of progress this
year. while the Union Pacific seems to be
absolutely at a standstill.
The sudden resolution TO shut down
al work on the Cheyenne & North
crn aud Carbon Cut off, is one of
those almost u~naccountable freaks which
frequently seize a railroad corporation.
In such cases nobody can find out exactly
what practical good is expected to result

subserved. This c~hangeable policy has
always been peculiarly distinctive of the
Union Pacific,
In considering this question We have
never been quite able to discover WHY the
same general principles that apply to
every other branch OF business should not
apply with equal force to the management
of a railroad company. Just why at one
time or in one direction there should be
lavish expenditure, and at another time
or in another direction the most parsimo-
NOUS economy should be practiced is one
of the things for which no rational cxpla
nation can be offered.
The stoppage of construction on the
Cheyenne & Northern is a much more
serious matter than appears on its face.
No other circumstance would contribute
more to the general prosperity of this
city than the construction of this road to
a junction with the Northwestern. We
would thus be provided with n through

wood and ending at the Gulf. We
