Dancing With q Corpse.

Burials alive are far more com
mon in hot countries, where the
burials take place within twenty
four hours after death, than they
are in colder climes, where one gets,
as rule, nearly weeks grace.
In Spain the body is frequently
removed to the undcrtaker's shop
a few hours after death. In one of
the largest of these establishments
in Madrid some years ago an extra
ordinary sight was witnessed. A
gentleman was brought in in his
casket one afternoon and placed in
a room set apart for that branch of
the business. The proprietor lived
over his premises and on this spe-
cial evening was given grand ball.
When the ball was at it's height
gentleman in full evening dress
suddenly joined the company. He
danced with the wife of the under
taker and he danced with the un-
dertaker's daughter and seemed to
be thoroughly enjoying himself.
The undertaken thought he knew
his face, but did not like to be rude
and ask him his name. But by and
by all the guests departed and the
strange gentleman was the only
one left.
"Shall l send cab for your"
said the host at last.
"No, thank you" replied the gen.
tleman "pm staying in the house.
Staying in the house p exclaim-
ed the undertaken. "Who are your"
"What! Don't you know me? l
am the corpse that was brought in
this afternoon"
The undertaken, Mortified, rushed
to the mortuary room and found
the coffin empty. His wife and
daughter had been dancing with
q corpse. An explanation, of
course, followed. The gentleman,
who had only been in a trance, had
recovered, and hearing
music and revelry above, and hav-
ing keen sense of humor, had got
out of his coffin-the Spanish coffin
closes with lid, which is only
locked just previous to interment-I
and joined the festive party. He
was quite presentable, as in Spain
the dead are generally buried in full
evening dress.-London Times.

Worked by the Sun.

One of the most notable inven-
tions displayed at the Paris Exhi-
bition is an apparatus for trans
forming the heat Of the sun into
motive power for pumping water
and other mechanical uses. It is
the device of a French inventor
named Charles Teller. The appa-
ratus is of great interest as fore
shadowing the time when solar heat,
in combination with electricians
mission of force, will be made to
furnish motive power for all engines
and take the place Of coal and steam,
a change which will vastly cheaper
manufactures and travel and great
ly enhance human comfort the
world over.
The heat which comes to the
earth in the suns beams is, as has
long been known, the equivalent of
from one to FIVE or more horse-pow-
er for every square yard of the
earth's surface, according to the lat
itude and the season of the year.
The utilization of this waste heat,
its conversion into usable power,
has been the study of inventors,
and much time and great sums of
money have been spent upon it. M.
Tellier's contrivance aims to ac-
complish this object.-Swedenboro

Woolen Goods Rustling Like Silk

There is a little Yankee dress
maker in an Eastern city, who, ac-
cording to a local paper, has just
evolved a new and lucky idea, and
is thriving on it already. When
ladies come to her with the goods
to make up an ordinary worsted
dress, she asks: "Will you have it
made to feel like silk or wool?"
Then the owner of the dress natur-
ally inquiries into the meaning of
the question. Its all in the lin
ing. / can give you a lining that
will rustic like silk when you walk
along the street, and that will make
you think whenever you touch it
that it is silk, and it will only cost
you 80 cents a yard" ooh, no."
the economical dresser says, 81 can
not afford it. "Then you will have
a lining at six cents yard without
any frou frou?" the little dressmaker
despot says in disappearing tones.
But the fancy of the patron is
caught by the alluring prospect of
having her woolen dress rustic like
silk, and she leaves an order for this
cloud of silver lining. And the
catchy little device is success of

Priest and Parson---A Touching
Incident.

It is a beautiful story which the
New York Christian Advocate tells
of the faithful and tender ministra-
tions of Catholic priest, Father
Schreiner, to an infirm Methodist
minister, DR.. William Smith, of De-
troit, Mich, who died at sea a few
weeks ago. Father Schreiner took
charge Of his effects and by his re-

burial, and shipped it from this city
to the deceased minister's family in
Detroit, advancing the money from
his own pocket for the expenses.

RhR:s1 OF DISEASES.
The Terrible Condition Of a Patient
With Chambers.

The death of an Austrian physi-
clan has caused wing of the Gen
eral Hospital to be closed for a
time, and the nurses to be kept out
of contact with any one not belong
ing to the hospital. In the month
of August man was brought to
the hospital suffering from a terri
BILE disease called CHAMBERS, which
he had taken from a horse similarly
afflicted. He soon died, and mill
itary surgeon, DR.. Rowalskil, who
has spent many years examining
bacill@ of all kinds, undertook to
subject the dead body to a close
examination. This was in itself a
most dangerous piece of work.
BY the aid Of the microscope he
soon succeeded in finding the bacil-
lus, which he reared in order to
watch the manner Of it's growth and
it's vitality. An ambitious young
physician, DR.. Hoffman, expressed
his doubts as to whether the bacil-
lus reared arti6cially had still in it
the power of infection. DR.. Rowal-
ski gave him one of his families,
and DR.. Hoffman soon saw that the
poison still had the most deadly
power. All the animals he injected
with it died of the horrible malady.
At the beginning of October DR..
Hoffman caught cold and felt acute
pains in his side. The pain in
creased and DR.. Hoffman tried to
cure it by injecting morphia. He
did this with the syringe which he
had used for injecting the glanders
poison into the doomed animals.
Although it had been disinfected
in glowing heat, some particles of
the poison must have still been in
it, for Dr. Hoffman grew worse every
day, and last Mond; y his friends
took him to the hospital. His col
leagues were Mortified when they
saw him-the whole body being
covered by terrible ulcers, which,
when they were examined, proved
to be filled with the glanders poison
The case touches the whole medical
profession to the heart; 200 doctors
are busying themselves with it, and
all the great professors visit the
patient several times day. Until
the 23d DR.. Hoffman was in great
pain, and he then happily lost all
consciousness. He knew perfectly |
we'll what was the matter with him,
and gave cool account Of what he
lad done and what the consequen-
,es were likely to be. Later in the
night DR.. Hoffman died without
observation-disclosures !

WHAT 1T INCLUDED.
Down in southwest Missouri fo

Down in southwest Missouri four
or five years ago town had all ar.
rangements made to whoop 'er up
on the glorious Fourth, says the
New York Sun. The citizens had
contributed in a liberal spirit, the
day was fine, and the crowd large
and enthusiastic. The orator of the
day was slim, cadaverous-looking
man from st. Joe. To stand off and
look him over you'd have bet your
last dollar that an old gardner
could have run him all around a
ten-acre field. There were some
lofty spirits in town that day, and
one of them was Jim Bucks, mix
ture of patriotism, whisky, high
jump, and rough and tumble. Jim
sized the orator up, determined to
have some fun with him, and took
a seat directly in front of him as he
stood on the platform to speak.
The orator hadn't spoken a hundred
words before Jim interrupted him.
He did this twice more and was
warned to go slow. He didn't go
much on dreams or warnings, how
ever, and watched for another op-
portunity. Pretty soon the orator
said.
'And so this little band of pill
grim fathers set out with stout
hearts and unwaverlng faith in
search Of;
In search of skunks ~ interrupted
Jim.
The orator made a long jump,
lighted down on Jim Bucks, and
inside Of two minutes had him so
thoroughly licked that Mrs. Bucks
would have passed him by for
splatter of pumpkin jelly which had
dropped from a dinner basket.
When satisfied that his work was
thoroughly done the orator return
ed to the platform and continued
in the same calm and unruffled
tone: ''-liberty of speech and
freedom of conscience, and they
found them at Plymouth Rock"
He went on, delivered a really ell
speech, lasting nearly an
hour, and he was just concluding
when Jim Bucks crawled out from
under wagon half a mile away,
where he had been laid, and quer-
led of those around him:
"Say, is that feller still speakin,
or fghtin?' Durn me, but l didn't
s'pose oratory included jumpin'
Jim Bucks liver out of his body"

for him and serves him even as his
horse or his dog work for him; but un.
like the dog or horse, that Indian
woman is possessed of one of the

This being the case she must be very

wheedle, and cajole her husband, and
by every means secure as strong hold
as possible over him.
We all know households to-day
where these wigwam tactics are pur-
sued. The master is irascible, over
bearing and obstinate. The wife is
his equal in many respects and in some
his superior, in self-control and good
temper particularly so. For the peace
of the household it is impossible to di-
rectly oppose the dicta Of the master,
who is of a sort that wants to know
best about all domestic matters, the
discipline of the nursery and the kitchen
as well as the routine of the stable, or
the ordering of the wine-cellar.
Now, in the matters pertaining to
kitchen and nursery. the wife knows
that her husbands ideas are wrong
and that her own are right, and by
constant series of small deceptions the
tyrant is led to believe that his meas
ures are carried out. whereas, in point
of fact, they are quite properly ignored.
| do not say the wife is blameless, but
l say the fault lies with the husband,
whose tiresome tyranny forces his wife
into subterfuges for the sake of the
general good. There is large class

an the Dark.

DR.. Hawthorn was called on to per
form wedding ceremony recent,
under decidedly romantic circum.
stances says the Atlanta Constitution.
Soon after dark young gentleman
and lady ascended the steps lead
ing to the front door of the Talmage
house and rang the bell. Mrs. Tai
mage was standing close by and an
sWered the summons herself. The
young man explained that he was
anxious to see DR.. Hawthorne on pri-
vate business and refused an invitation
to enter the parlor. The young lady
sank into chair near the door, where
the darkness was impenetrable, and re-
mained looking at the wall of the house
until DR.. Hawthorne appeared.
When he came the gentleman hand
ed him paper and said he wanted to
get married Immediately. DR.. Haw-
thorne took the document to the light
and found that it was q license, per-
mitting j. M. Swift to marry Miss Josie
Magbee.
Seeing that all the requirements of
the law had been complied with, DR..
Hawthorne asked the young gentleman
to bring his bride into the parlor and
have the ceremony performed there.
The lady however, objected strongly
to this plan. Through the open win
dow she could see several ladies, who
had heard in some mysterious way that
a young couple were to be married
and who were anxious to see the cere-
mony.
The groom explained that they had
been travelling all day and if DR.. Haw-
thorn could make it convenient they
would prefer being united without enter
ing the house.
DR.. Hawthorne has performed the
wedding ceremony SO frequently that
he requires no light to go through the
formula. The lady rose from the seat
in the dark corner, and, still standing
where her features could not be clearly
seen, she held out her hand. 1t was
firmly clasped in that of the groom and
a few minutes later she was Mrs Swift.
Then the couple went down the stairs.
and arm in arm, they walked toward
Broad street and disappeared in the
direction from which they came.

A Struggle for a Verdict.

l heard a jury struggle this morn
ing. A German had got into a row
with quarrelsome. Irishman, who
had long been terror in his neigh
borhood, and the Irishman had been
left stone dead on the field. A young
and inexperienced lawyer UNDER
took the defense of the German.
and just before the case was to be
tried he found, to his dismay, that
the jury was composed of eleven
combative looking countrymen Of
the murdered man, the twelfth man
being a German. This, of course,
would never do. A defense fund"
was Immediately raised and the
German was approached with all
due caution, and the promise that
if he managed to get verdict of
mansiaughter it would be worth
$1,000 to him; all he had to do was
to stick to that one word "man-
slaughter" Well, the verdict came
in 'manslaughter" in great shape,
and the joyful attorney for the de-
tense couldn't get the $1,000 into the
Germans hands too quick. Shak-
ing hands with him after the money
vas placed, he slapped him on the
back and said: You did nobly.;
you must have had an awful time

Only few doors from Woodward
avenue on one of the new fashionable
residence streets in the northern part
of the city lives small boy who is pre-
cocious to remarkable degree even in
this decade of precocious young ones,
says the Detroit Free Press. He cannot
be called golden-haired tot, though
neither excessive years nor capillary
hue would be sufficient to disqualify
him from that appellation. He is rath-
er of the ilk of the youth of the old
story who fed from his parents home
and sought barber's shop, where he
had his long flowing curls clipped close
to his head in order to spite an affec-
tionate but too proud mother and af-
terward justified his conduct to an ell
derly male relative by explaining that
he was tired of having her all the time
comparing him to lone of those con-
founded cherubs. The boys father
is prominent dry-goods merchant, a
church member and singularly correct
dramatically and otherwise in his
use of the mother tongue, even when
circumstances lead him to speak with
extreme emphasis; yet he refers to his
heir as terror" and when he does so
his wife never objects.
A few days ago she returned sudden.
ly from a drive, and, proceeding to
her room, found the door locked on
the inside. Repeated knocks and ques-
tions evoking no response she found a
duplicate key and entered, her bosom
filled with direst forebodings. A ghast-
ly sight met her eyes. Seated before

Open Air Cure for Consumptives.

The success of DR.. Dettweller's
Consumption Hospital at Falken-
stein, is so positive that there is lit
tie doubt that he has found the
proper means of dealing with this
disease which carries away more
than hundred thousand lives a
year in this country alone. His
method, in brief, is to keep the pa
tient either lying or walking in the
open air almost day and night, and
to give him a rich, liberal and Pc
culiarly adapted diet. He uses milk
freely, and wine and brandy under
careful regulations. All cases can
not be treated alike in every detail.
Some consumptives cannot endure
the cold; in some cases it is neces-
sary to use compressed and in 9TH
ers "dilated" air. But in the main
the patient is made to spend rany
hours every day lying, profusely
covered, on lounge placed on a
veranda, even in the coldest weather.
Some spend eleven hours day in
this way. Massage is Systematically
applied, daily rubbing down, and
the cold douche, where patients can
stand it. The diet is carefully reg
ulated to tempt the digestion. The
meals consist of breakfast from 7
to $50, a second breakfast at 10,
dinner at 1, fresh milk at 4, and a
warm supper at 7. The food is
cooked rather rich," and is so ap-
petizing that so per cent of the pa
tients gain an average of ten pounds
in three months. The average pa
tient takes nearly a bottle of claret,
Rhine or Hungarian wine daily,
while others are given two teaspoon
fuls of brandy every hour or two,
and glass of brandy milk punch
on retiring. The patients sleep with
their windows wide open at night,
no matter how cold the weather.
This hospital is near Frankfort,
where the climatic conditions are
not particularly favorable, and
where the seasons are no less severe
than here. 1t is just as tolerable to
live out doors here as there.

for three-years' men were for $685.
OOO, and the number responding
was 714,OOO, beside $4,000 three
mouths men. The fourth call, in
July, 1862, was for 100000 men for
three years, and the numbe respond
ing was $4,000. After that the en-
listment fell below the calls because,
as an exchange puts it, the former
calls had skinned the cream of the
nations manhood.
