STARTLING EFFECTS on DEINKrRs.

whole pages Of blank verse from the diff.

Of having retained in his memory. The
effect on the spirits is delightful IN the *

How Opposing soldiers Remember Each

The following letter was received a
few DAYS since by Confederate soldier
Of Richmond, who in accidcnce OF war
happenings CHANGED TO be domiciled IN
der the care of Federal soldiery. 1t
proves that good will prevails under
favorable conditions over q quarter OF u
century. This evidence of mans re-
gard for man reads as follows
AUBURN, Ne, August %, 1889.
-, Richmond, Ia:
Dear Sir aud Old Acquaintance of
Point-Lookout Memory. My mind
often wanders back to the old times OF tho
war and think OF the many friendships
formed then and wonder where the old
bows are now. often think OF you as
one of my old friends and one IN whom
| took a deep interest, although You
wore the "Gray and | the "Blue, and
wonder if you are now IN Richmond, as
think YOU were Before the war,
although your home, if remember, was
Mt Gloucester Point. To ascertain and
revive Olu llcnubulp utuiSo' ~
No doubt you will say " But who
are Won 2" Well, no other than "Cor-
poral Nye," who was baggage master at
Point Lookout, who you probably re-
member.
/ would be pleased TO hear from you
and 10 know how the world has served
YOU. Yours truly,
J. EDWIN NYE,
212 Court street, Auburn. Me.

dent pleasant because OF its association
with northern gentleman, was suitably
replied to and the person Immediately
addressed and many others similarly con
cerned are prepared TO welcome the

STRANGE EFFECTS OF WATER FOUND
IN TEXAS.
A Remarkable Natural Fiuid-Supersti-
tious Negroes Regard IT With AVE.
while Scientists Arc Puzzled.

A Wharton CTex.) telegram says A dis-
Govern of immense scientific interest has
recently been made near this place-a DIS
coyery which il il thought Will add n NTH
crto unknown element TO the sixty-hve
already familiar 10 the chemist. Mr.. Chud-
leigh Mason. a prominent cotton-plantSr
living about five miles from town. while
boring an Artesian VOL on his place struck
water few days ago at depth OF 2lo teet.
A powerful stream was thrown up WIN
n loud report and a slight trembling OF the
surrounding earth. Mr.. Mason. In order 10
test the quality Of the water, drank glass
of it. and the negro workmen also crowd
ed about and drank freely Of the water.
which was found 10 be very cold ana good
though possessed OF a slight unfamiliar
flavor. which was. however, not disagree
bic. g.
Within a quarter Of an hour. OF even
less. after drinking the water, Mr.. Mason
began 90 feel strange twlichlnR IN tho
muscles of the face and his w0rkmen Also
commenced 20 complain Of the same sensa-
ton. This twitching soon extended 20 the
arms aud legs, increasing all the while IN
violence. until at last the negroes cast
themselves down, crying that they had
been cOniured. and rolled about on the
ground shrieking aloud and writing with
hideous contortions of the face and
body. As the jerking and jumping OF
the muscles Of the limbs grew more
and more violent, oil hands sprang
mp and joined in q wild. uncon;
trollable dance, or rather hopping up and
down like so many disturbed frogs. Mr..
Mason describing his sensations, says that
he was conscious OF feeling of great ex,
hilaration and an increased acuteness OF
every sense. The sight of the leaping ne
groes. who were too frightened TO realize
that they were suffering only from tear,
and their cries and shrieks provoked him
to bursts OF laughter that sounded almost
maniacal. Mrs Mason, seeing her hus-
bands extraordinary behavior, became
alarmed. and, running out, attempted ID
hold him down, but, though be endeavor-
ed 10 assist her by clinging with oil his
strength b post. it was found impossible
70 restrain him.

MlMETlC SUICIDES.
Historical Illustrations Of the Influence OF
Man's Initiative TaeuIty


Mans Initiative Faculty.
Within ten days after the suicide OF a
man In full-dress suit IN this city
three similar cases were reported In
other parts OF the country. and doubt
less others will follow as a result OF
these. The influence OF morbid imita-
tion in causing what seem TO be cpl
denies OF crime against the person or
property OF others is equally potent In
determining not only the number but
tho character or method OF suicidal
crime.
Tho murdcrous criminal, whether
suicidal or homcidal. Is invariably one
In whom app tito and instlnct-the es-
sentially animal qualitics-predominate
over tho will; In whom reason and judg-
ment arc subordinate 20 imagination
and impulse. He Is the result OF an
imperfect human development which
fayors and fosters an abnormal devel-
opmcnt OF the mimctic faculty, shared in
common with the monkey by unculti-
waited, uncducatcd man. Students OF
this class Of crime have accumulated
multitudcs. OF illustrations OF the inilu-
enco OF the mimotic faculty In his
ANATOMY OF Suicide DIR. Winslow
furnishes n curious collection-among
them tho following:
"Some years oRo man hanged himself on
the threshold Of one OF the doors OF the cOrri-
dor at the Hotel des Inyalidcs No suicide had
occurred In the establishment for two years
previously but In tho succeeding fortnight 1--WE
inYalids hanged themselves on tho same cross
bar, aud the governor was obliged TO shut up
the passage"
Lecky. In his history OF European
Morals" recounts among the epidemics
OF purely insane suicides that strange
mania which ragged In the Neapolitan
districts from the end OF the fifteenth
TO tho end OF tho seventeenth century,
tho victims OF which "thrOnged in null
titudcs toward tho sea, and ofton, as
the blue waters opened 10 their view,
they chanted wild hymn OF welcome
and rushed with passion into tho
waves" An epidemic OF mimetic sui
eide occurred among the women OF Mi
letus, who killed themselves In great
numbers because their husbands and
lovers were detained by tho wars. This
epidemic, like similar ono among the
women OF Lyons, was only checked by
an order that tho bodies OF all suicides
should bo dragged naked through tho
streets and exposed in the public mar
ket-placos.
II the dress-sut suicide continues TO
grow in popularity IL may be necessary
TO check it by threatening TO expose
tho bodies OF It's victims in unfashiona-
bio and badly-ntting garments. This
seems 10 be about the only kind OF ar
gument that will appeal to intelocts OF
tho dress-coat typo. Chicago News.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN,

An excellent garglc for sore throa,
8 one-half ounce OF powdered alum.
one ounce Of sage, one pint OF boiling
water.
An old gentleman on the farm, OF
sixty, even IL he has had the careful
experience OF forty years, need not ex-
pect 10 know as much as the young
man OF twenty.
The temperature Of water for
horses Is not so much OF an object IA
the purity OF it, While IL Is best 10
have the water cool, IL is more impOr-
tant 20 have il free from all impurities.
When trimming grape vines let
them be cut and trained so as 20 admit
of the air and sunshine. Too much
shade is sometimes the cause Of rot, as
IL invites moisture. Trim the vines
while the weather Is cold.
Brown flashed Potatoes. Pare n
dozen potatoes and chop fine. Season
with salt and pepper and place In small
earthern dishcs; cover with milk and
add small bits Of butter 10 cachi bake
In IA moderate oven onc-half hour.
There Is positively no garden
vegetable 20 which tho commercial
phosphate Of lime can be more profit
ably applied than % cabbage Even
late in the season phosphate, diluted
with water, may be- bonciicially used.
An old suG broom used over tho
rows Of Strawberries in tho spring will
clean them nice y, lino up the manure
and the rains will complete the work.
This will prevent dirt on the straw
berries when the picking season be-
gins.
1t is disagrocablo fact that the
soil which, in respect Of moisture, Is
best for the straw berry Is also best for
the grass and weeds which arc so un'
desirable In our strawberry beds. On
such soils IL seems that 90 avoid tho cost
OF much hand wedding we must either
grow them In hills, or else, If other
wise, must limit ourselves TO single
crop from each planting.
Seeds that gcrminatc slowly, such
as carrot, parsnip and beet, are somo.
times killed by grass, owing 10 the
rows becoming lost To avoid this
SOW radish seed lightly in tho rows
As tho radish soon shows above
ground tho row is defined, and tho
grass can be kept down with tho hoo
by tho timo tho radi5hos arc pulled
out for use the seeds OF tho latc-gor-
minating plants will be up, and tho
rows can bc then kept clean
1t Is needless TO say that the fat OF
beef is as wholesome as butter; or tha:
hogs lard Is ono Of tho most unwhOlo-
somo Ingredients OF our food; yet, in
spite OF this acknowledged fact it Is
the boof that is often thrown away,
and lard that Is purchased for use. IL
may not be known that every bit Of
beef dripping, oyory bit Of fat steak,
the skimming from wator In which
beef has boiled, can be tried out and
clarified into tho purost and sweetest
Reef lard. Progress i've Housekeeping.
