SCIENTIFIC GLEANINGS

In Mexico the municipalities are not
partial TO a multiplicity of wires in
their streets, as would appear from the
fact that the city council of Mexico has re-
fused the Mexican Telephone company
privileges of poles in tie streets OF that
city.
4 system of electric cabs has been in
troduced into Stuttgart, Germany. with a
degree of success that promises the per
manent relegahon of the cab horse to
other fields of usefulness. The new vehicles,
1t Is said, are already popular, though at
present their novelty has much to do with
the patronage they receive.
One of the novelties in the way of cleo
trio power distribution will be shown at
the coming exhibition of the MaSSachu-
sets Charitable Mechanic association,
when larg, number of electric motors
will be used to furnish power for isolated
exhibits. The ThompSon-HouS COM
pany will furnish the motors.
1t is said that telephone call boxes are
about 10 be installed in various districts in
| London, so that persons wishing to COM
municate with the exchange and then with
subscribers can do so. TIE public can
utilize these call boxes by inserting the
! required coin in the slot. but subscribers
will be supplied with keys which open the
| boxes.
TIE New York Sun tells of an electrician
! of that city, who has made special study

! outlay he could arrange an electrical dis
| play for the city which would last for
may years, and could be repeated as
often as desired. 1t would comprise rock
cts, Roman candles, wheels, Niagara Falls,
and all the modern pyrotechnic effects.
| A curious fact is noticed in connection
with the formation CT barnacles on ships
bottoms. In a majority of cases there is
much he Ivler growth of grass and barn
acleS on one side than on the other; and
in numerous instances one side will be

correspondent at Vienna, the consumption
of beer by the German singers at a festival

There were 10000 singers. and the con-
sumption was spread over a day and half.
1t would thus appear that each singer drank

the singing was, we are told, magnificent

then looking away over the purple hills

awhile she ate it almost grcedily, and soon

food. This same feeder says. 100, that a
pasture that v ill only furnish enough for
one carload of steers, when not fed grain.

weeks 10 pass without gain. when the
cattle were eating over half buShel of
corn each per day. 1t IS considered good
feeding to make an average gain OF tw'

In winter feeding there Is danger OF

TIE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
CROWNED TOO LATE.
WILLIAM wooDsoS HESpREE.

Long time he stood beneath cloud of sin
And wrong and sorrow still upheld by pride.
And he grew wasted, hollow-eyed and thin
With toll without and fighting fierce within.
And bowed himself down TO dust and died
No woman's love WAS his, no man his friend
He stood alone upon the sands of time;
No other love or life with his did blend,
SUficing to himself to the end
In nature proud, in intellect sublime.
Unloved unlOying, passed he on his way,
Stern. haughty, careless of his mighty strength
Still working onward 10 the better day,
Unaided and alone till prone he lay,
Stripped OF his glory, in the dust AT length.
And then the world his mighty genius found,
And conspired his paan loud TO raise:
And his cold brows with deathless bays the5
crowned,
And shouted ont his name with such q sound
That all the earth re-echoed with his praise.

SUMNER,S LAST MISH-
He Believed the Death-Bed Not the Place

The fact has always been conceded that

religious partisan OF some special faith or
creed. He may have worShiped occasion.
ally at some church at Washington dur
ing his long career as a senator, but it
does not appear that he affiliated with any
of them. Mr.. Sumner had an intense
horror of clerical ministrdtionS at 6ying
bedsideS, and made no secret of his feel
IngS In this particular. He believed it to
be the very refinement of cruelty to add
to the death agony by pictuung to the
dying man the tormentS of hell in
store for sinners unless they confessed and
repented. As an illustration of this. the
following story was told your correspond
ent by gentleman who was present when
the incident occurred:
One of Mr.. Summers intimate friends
ana coDhdents was Congressman Hooper
of Massachusetts, lately deceased, and who
was always welcome at Mr.. Sumner 5
house. One day at dinner the conversa-
ton turned on the subject of clerical
ministrations to the dying, and Mr.. Sum
ner said: Hooper, want to exact a
solemn promise from you. Promise me on
your word of honor that if you survive me
you will protect my dying bedside from
the presence of pious intruders. Don t
let them come near me- The promise
was given. and Mr.. Sumner made a
similar promise 10 Mr. Hooper Some
months after Mr.. Sumner was taken
scriousl y ill with angina pectoriS, and
lay at the point of death. His friend
Mr. Hooper, remained with him. and
even when wriJhing with agony he re-
minded Hooper of his promise.
Finally it became evident that he could
not long survive, and the sad intelligence
was communicated to the Sergeant-at-armS
of the senate, who at once advised the
chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Sunderland. and
the latter repaired TO Mr. Summers house
to administer spiritual comfort to the
dying man. He was met at the door by
Mr. Hooper, who, mindful of bis promise,
invited DR.. Sunderland into the parIor and
explained the situation. 1T is not dis
respect to you, Mr.. Sunderland" said Mr..
Hooper, but it is Mr.. Summers wish,
and | cannot permit you to see him.
There is only one office you can perform
now. Let us pray that, IN the mercy OF
providence. our friend may die free from
pain or suffering
And 50 DR.. Sunderland and the house,
hold united in prayer, while Charles
Sumner. in the upper bedchamber
breathed his last. as he had wished, free
