White Lead Iniurious.

It is said that painting floors with any
color containing white lead is injurious,
as it renders the wood soft and less ca
pabie of wear. Other paints without
white lead, suck as ochre, raw lumber or
sienna, are not injurious and can be used
with advantage. Varnish made of dry
ing lead salts is also said to be destruct-
i've, and it is recommended that the bo-
rate of manganese should be used to dis
pose the varnish to dry. A receipt for a
good floor varnish is as follows: Take
two pounds of pure white borate of man.
ganese, finely powdered, and add it little
by little to saucepan containing ten
pounds of Hnseed oil, which is to be well
stirred and raised to temperature of
$50 dogs. Fahrenheit. Heat 100 pounds
of inseed oil in a boiler till ebullition
takes place, then add to it the first
liquid, increase the heat and allow it to
boil for twenty minutes. Then remove
from the fire and filter the solution
through cotton cloth. The 7arnish is
then ready for use. two coats of which
may be used with final coat of shellac,
if brilliant polish is required. -Phila-

the total number of deaths from con
sumption in London were those of

fresh air, of exercise and of proper
food. The climate was generally sup
posed to be the cause of great deal Of
consumption, but that was nothing

Modern PSYCHOLOGISTS regard the pre-
frontal part Of the brain as the seat OF
character and intellect After the re-
moval of this part in dogs and monkeys
no paralysis of any muscles or loss of
sensibility occurs, but singular changes
in the behavior, emotions and character
of the animals have been observed. They
become hvelier, restless, impatient, irri-
table, quarrelsome and violent. Their
movements seem purposeless, and theiI
attention to what is going ON around
them, and their intelligence, are dimin.
ished.
These observations have been con
firmed by similar phenomena in the case
of human beings. The well known
''Crowbar case" described by the Amer
lean physician DR.. Harlow, is one il
point. A young man was busy tamping
a bursting charge into a rock with a
pointed iron rod, when the charge sud
denly exploded and the rod entered hi.

came out in the frontal region, and was

disappeared; he recovered and lived fo1
thirteen years. His skull is preserved

Umbandfne. the swazio King.

A beautiful young wife of the kings
had in some innocent way displeased
him. The order was given to smell
her out, and the witch doctors did
their horrible work. Executioners
were told off, and they were sent out
to the young wife to tell her of her
sentence. She dressed herself in her
best ornaments and determined to APP
pear before the king to say Good by. :"
She had been the rulers playmate and
favOrlte sweetheart as child, and she
ventured to send a message to him
asking permission to say Good by" to
him. The king refused the request.
Calmly preparing for death, the young
woman disregarded the denial, and
walked to where his majesty" was
sitting, drinking champagne. She
said to him; King, &Fzhave come TO
say 'good-by;' tell me why you are
killing me. "
The king vouchsafed no answer, and
turned his face away. The poor wo-
man proceeded to bid adieu to the
other wives and girls of the monarch
They stood i'll row, and as she walked
down in front of them she said: Il
am the first, but there will be more of
you to come after me-" Without an
other word she quietly followed her
executioners. They led her about three
miles from the kraal, across the lillian
river, and there hanged her on a low
thorn tree. The REIN by which she
was suspended being too long, her feet
nearly touched the ground and stran
gulation was completed by beating the
REIN with sticks, the person of ROYALTY
being sacred to the common touch

The JAMESON FAILURE, PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 29.-The
failure of Is. K. Jamison S Co. divided
the attention of the street this morning
with the startling publication of the gil
Rantlc forgeries of John A. Baker, Jr.
The general opinion seems to be that the
failure OF Jamison s Co. will be worse
than first reported. The firm is said TO
have been large borrowers lately, and
several financial houses of this city are
thought TO be heavily hit by their suspen-
sion. Liabilities are variously estimated
at from $500 900 TO 81 500, 600, but such
estimates are the merest guess work.
Those who are in a position to authora-
lively state what the liabilities are de-
cline TO do so ct this time, beyond the
statement given TO the papers las: night.

about one third of the entire house are
now IN town.
The probable action on the census is
much discussed among the senators and
members. Senator Coke thinks the
whole business of taking the census
OUGHT TO BE INVESTIGATED
before any apportionment bill Is dis
cussed. In Texas he says the CEN
sus was taken in very slip
shod manner, there being scores Of
unenumerated people in every CITY and
county. The census of 1890 only added
600 900 people to Texas, and Senator
Coke is OF the opinion that at least
L 900, ZOO people should have been
the increase. Senator Coke con-
tinued: 90 Fort Worth, Calves
ton, Dallas. San Antonio, Waco,
and other cities have increased tremen-
dously in population and so have the
counties. The apportionmeut of Texas,
as prepared by this Republican congress,
is manifestly unfair and / think in some
way this erroneous count should be rec
titled before the representation in the
Fifty third congress is determined.
The Democrats will attempt TO secure
all investigators of the census and Cum
mings of New York will probably intro
duce resolution to that effect.
