CheaD Living inLondon,

A once famous American disappeared
from New York some years ago and
months afterward was recognized in
London. He told me that it seemed to
him that he lost consciousness here and
regained it there, everything between
the loss and recovery being blank in
his mind, says Julian Ralph in Harper s
Weekly. He awoke one morning in
queer little bedroom, with chintz cur
tains and a CRATE fire and conf
cal bed and ancient furniture, built, like
everything portable in England, to resist
time and to strain acartman's back. He
arose, and seing bell cord, pulled it. A
little woman in mob-cap and apron re-
sponded. He asked her where he was,
and what she understood his name and
business to be, and how he. spent his
time. Finally he said "What do 1
usually do when you come up, as you say
you do, every morning?"
"Well, sir" she replied, you usually

"A FUNNY VERDICT.
1t Was Rendered by n CorOncr's Jury
in Blaine County.

IN Blame County.
Some time last March two young boys
went out on a hunting expedition, and
while so engaged one of them accident
ally shot and killed the other, says the
Columbus Telegram. OF course he was
arrested and there was the usual cor
oner's inquest, at which the frightened
boy disclaimed all knowledge of tho
affair and swore absolutely that he knew
nothing about it. The peculiar
part comes in in the proceedings of the
coroner's jury, which proceedings were
recorded us follows:
State of Nebraska,
Blaine County. ~
AT an inquest holden at the residence OF
Lewis =. Johnson on the o. sell of Sec .,
town %, Il. 81, Blaine county, on the first
day of April, A. d. 1890, before me -
coroner of said county, upon the body Cf
Warren Miller, lying 1ad by the said Juror,
whose names are hereunto subscribed, upon
their oaths do say, Warren Miller lying dead
upon the 31st day of March, between 2
and o'clock p. m, by gunshot from a double
barreled shot gun in the hands of John
Craig Jr., and that the shooting by said John
Craig was criminal carelessness, and the
jury found the said John Craig, jr., guilty OF
the crime of perjury committed before them
at tn inquest and the jurors recommend that
the said John Craig, jr,, be committed to the
State Reform school for the term OF five
years.

Objections to Large Hospitals.


Sir Morrell Mackenzie says that there
is IL growing feeling. both within the
medical profession and among practical
sanitarians and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., that gen.
eral hospitals of large size are open to
many objections. In the first place the
crOwding together of such
vast number of diseased per-
sons is as much out of place
in cities as intramural burial of the
dead. In point of fact, it is extremely
likely that the germs derived from such
accumulation OF every form OF disease
are more dangerous to the community
than those which, after several years,
may emanate from dead bodies. There
is no doubt that patients suffering from
different diseases poison the air with
their eXhalations and in many
cases exchange microbes till recovery
becomes difficult, even for the strongest.
Another objection to large hospitals is
that the relief which they afford may be
said to be indisCriminate, and thus II
tendency to engender and foster habits
of improvidence in the poorer classes
is created. This objection has
considerable weight in England,
where it is said that the out-patient
department in hospitals where the pa
tients contribute nothing toward the
expense of their treatment, is the great
est pauperizing agency at present exist
ing in this country. DIR, Mackenzie ex
presses his approval of the Prussian law
by which all workmen are compelled to
insure against sickness. The amount of
insurance is Il per cent of the wages
earned. OF this one third is betrayed
by the employer, the remaining
two-thirds being deducted by him
from the workingman's wages before
they are paid. DR.. Mackenzie is strongly
of opinion that small charge to out
patients at hospitals, carefully gradu-
| ated according to the patients means,
would be productive of great good. In
! the Prussian hospitals payment is uni
versal. All sorts and conditions of pa
tients are admitted and patients are
| divided into three classes, according to
tine rate of payment.

ceived the idea Of locacating a pavilion In
the park. Bids were solicited and in Septem-
ber contract was let for the erection OF
l4,O0O structure. Work was commenced
and in the course of few days the new
building which stands upon the north
shore of the lake will be completed. This
building is upon the style of the summer
houses at the fashionable resorts in the east,
being two stories high, surrounced by wide
piazza, and contains lunch and reception
floor. 1t is provided with all modern con-
venienceS and will go great way towards
making the park more attractive.
Immediately west of the pavilion and at
the west end of the lake music stand, cost
ing $1,000, is being erected 1t will be upon
the pagoda style and will be used next sum
mer when the Sunday afternoon sacred con-
certs are given. These, however, are not the
only improvements, as several miles OF sew
ers have been laid, giving complete
system Of drainage; swings have
been erected at convenient places
and scores of seats and tables have been
placed under the trees for the use of pleas
ure-seekers and picnic parties. dozen gas
lamps have been located in as many places,
so that next season the park will be far from
the gruesonfe spot it has been for some time
past.

mantle story came to light yesterdav CON-

AlbatrOss Skin.

The most valuable part of the albatross,
however, is its plumage. The neck, breast
and belly are snow white, shading deli
cately into gray and dusky brown at the
sides and back, and the feathers are so
curled and elastic that the skin with the
plumage on it is an inch or an inch and a
half thick. No finer material can be got
for muffs, cuffs, collarettes, capes or the
trimming or lining of cloaks and robes. It
is very light, yet exceedingly warm, while
for appearance its doyelike smoothness and
purity cannot be excelled. It has the ad-
vantage, too, of being very durable, the
natural oil of the bird preserving the skin
and feathers for many years. while the
characteristic musky odor is easily over
come by camphor. It is wonder
that some enterprising furrier or modiste
does not set the fashion of wearing alba
tross plumage and send to the antipoaes or
the Crozets for q seasons supply. There
would be money in it, not only by its
novelty. but by its usefulness. At the
same time, hope it will not he done. be-
cause il once the skin of an albatross &C
qaired commercial value and the ruthless
hand of fashion were laid on its smooth
white neck, the poor bird would soon be
driven from its secluded haunts and might
even be in danger of determination.

trader shall invade the home of the alba
troas or the pot hunter disturb its ancient,
solitary reiRn.-FoEsst and Stream.

international Sunday Schools.

PITTsBuRG, June 25.-The International
Sunday school convention reassembled this
morning. The report of the statistical sec
retary shows the number of Sunday schools
in the United States to be 1885, 1874; officers
and teachers, 1.12O. .433: scholars, $685., ,s5l.
The next worlds convention will be held in

erect building in the fair grounds, and
work up large attendance from abroad.
After recess Treasurer Bigler presented
his report, which showed receipts of $14,-
80 and expenditures of $14 csc during the
past year. Rev. Warren Randolph, score
tary of the international Sunday school
lesson committee, read voluminous report
OF that committees work. He said the
committee was now at work on third SER
les OF lessons which cover seven years each.
and 1t would be completed by 1893. The
people of the continent of Europe mad
uifioulty in adapting themselves to the les
soma. American methods are too rapid for
them. Several resolutions were then
presented with reference to the special COM
mittee. One requested the committee on
Lessons TO modify their plans; another re-
quested that more attention be given TO
temperance in schools hereafter; another
requested action to secure governmental
action in America in regard to the better
Observance Of the Sabbath.

Everything is tied up. A committee from
Cairo arrived this morning to demand the
discharge of the superintendent Of the
Cairo division. The chief Of the Brother
hood Of Trainmen declines TO recognize tho

to other roads. The Big Four road.
which has a trackaRe arrangement

BILE to get freight into the city made an ar
rangement with the Chicago l. Eastern Illi-
nois. SuspectinR that the Illinois Central
was doing the same thing, the Eastern Illi-
nois men refused to handle any Big Four
cars. This has caused another block. On
the Illinois Central tracks large quantities
of fruits and berries are side tracked at va
rious points and are fast rottinc.
Officials of the road have issued an
order to sell these goods out as fast
as possible, Committees Of train msn from
several roads, including the Chicago, Mil
waukee d st. Paul, and Chicago, st. Paul d
Kansas City roads, have offered to make
the strike general, unless the trouble is end
ed tonight. Superintendent Russell was
formerly connected with these roads and
they say he proved SO obnoxious that he
was forced of those lines.
