General Bachelor says the exiled
Brazilian ex-emperor, Dom Pedro, is
a physical and mental wreck. The
death Of his wife, which occurred soon
after he was deposed, added to his
grief and at times he takes his troubles
more seriously TO heart and PAGES
through his apartments in moody
melancholy.

SHE GOT A SEAT.

spised Themselves.

Then the " Gentlemen" on the Car De-
spised Themselves.
Somebody should collect the literature of
the car seat. There are volumes of it fugi-
tive in newspapers and humorous sheets,
says the New York Herald, and mostly of
a nature to interest the future student of
human nature When car straps shall have
been abolished and bOorishness is unknown.
When this coming historian begins his valu-
able laboTs / trust he may find a place for
such an incident as l saw on the Brooklyn
Bridge the other day.
1t wa S in the evening. Brooklyn people
were still going b ONE in large numbers, the
car was full, and most of the pas sengers
were men. There were sixteen Of them in
a row on one side OF the car, and in the
middle sat yellow Chinaman who had a
bundle Of clothes, two packages of lichee
nuts aud paper OF oranges.
a middle-aged woman who had likely been
tramping the stores all day came in looking
very tired. and glared up aud down tho line
and grabbed the only strap The men
wouldn't notice her; they just wouldn't.
They glued their eyes to their newspapers
or out of the window. The car started and
nobody moved.
Then the h0mely, yellow Chinaman took
his bundle OF clothes from the floor. got his
packages under one arm, gravelY saluted
with the other, and hung himself up by a
strap while the middle-aged woman took
his seat
Cinnamon pinch the feet of their women
and don't let their intellects have play, and
all that, but somehow the other passengers
In the car didn't seem to think half as
meanly of the barbarOus Chin amen as they
aid OF themselves the rest OF the trip.

HE WILL LISTEN TO THE SUN.
Edison's Cosmical Telephone to Hear
Sun Spots Roar.

Edison's CosmicaI Telephone to Hear
Sun Spots Roar.
One Of the most curious arrangements
contrived by this most curious man for his
personal amusement aud qualification is the
arrangement which Mr.. Edison calls his
"cosmical telephone" Edison owns an
iron mine at Ogden, \. J. There is q bed
of magnetic iron ore about mile long and
$50 feet wide, which he says runs down into
the earth for five or six miles. lie esti-
mates the amount of iron in the mine at
100000 600 600 tons. Around Ogden there
is an enormous intensfcation of the
magnetic forces OF the earth. Ii is &
wel-knOYn fact that the daily variations
in>these magnetic forces, as shown by the
needle, are directly Influenced by the dis
turbanceS Of tie suns spotS. These vaTia-
tons are regularly recorded every day at
Kew, near London. Mr.. Edison says that
at his iron mine near Ogden he has more
than million tines the concentration of
magnetic lines that there is al Kew. To re-
cord the daily variations in his own mag
netic lines at Ogden Mr.. Edison has con-
struct-d his cOsmicsl telephone.
There are the most wonderful things
going on IN the suns spots all the time," lie
says. Didn't you ever see them? Why,
they are beautiful. The disturbances are
tremendous. BurstS of hydrogen fiv out Of
tt4foC opNtN NfySV tllttCo ipAE5s Aut lSAtlie1
happen up there. You can see them every
day with nv telescope"
To construct his telephone he has sur
rounded the whole bed Of magnetic iron
with poles. On these poles lie has strung a
cable of fifteen copper wires. The ends Of
this cable RUN down into little house. and
are connected with an ordinary receiver of
Z common Bell telephone. The idea is that
the surrounding of this enormous bed of
magnetic iron with the copper wires will
operate for the formation OF a gigantic mag
net, such as Is used in tile receiver Of the
everyday telephone. Through this ire
mendOus receiver Ellison says he will be put
in direct telephone communal cation with the
sun, only the communication will be one
sided. He can hear everything that goes on
up there, but he can't do any transmitting.
He believes that every disturbance in the
suns spots Will cause corresponding yaTia-
ton OF the concentrated magnetic lines at
Ogden, and that this variation will be at
once detected in some way by the receiver
Of his cOsmical telephone.
yes, sir" he says, 81 can hear them
with this telephone. The next time there
is any violent change 10 the sun's spots
which distuTbs the magnetic lines on earth
l shall know 1t, and ii 900, 900 miles of hy-
drogen 90 chasing away from the sun shall
hear it,"
The cosmica telephone is not vet COM
pleted, as the wire stringing is not finished :;
but scientific men other than Mr.. Edison
will watch with curious wonder to see what
success he will achieve.-Star Saying.

THE CROW AS A PET.
A Mischfevous Bird That Can Be Taught
to Talk Better Than Parrot

A Mischfevous Bird That Can BE Taught
to Talk Better Than Parrot.
Crows make very amusing pets for any
one who can put up with their innate spirit
of deyiltry, and besides that they can be
taught to talk more distinctly than most
parrots. 1t is a common idea among the
country people that they will not talk unless
their tongues are cut at a certain tender age
Be that as it may, | have heard crows talk
excellently that never had their tongues cut,
and some whose tongues are cut never Will
talk at all. l always take nv chances WIN
out cutting, aud out of nearly dozen that
] have owned, only two proved VOID OF
bump of language.
To be sure Of having a good, atfectlonate
crow take him from the nest as soon alter
Matching as you can find him. If 1t Is the
first Of the brood hatehed all the better.
How are you to tell that? why, IL you nnd
one baby crow and four eggs in the nest,
does not that settle the question beyond dis
putt? Name him as soon as you get home.
1t is good plan to have a family conSulta-
ton on this subject for a rachTistening is
fatal to the proper education OF your calloW
charge. Always call him by name when
ever you feed him. He viii learn his name
before he knows what feathers are, and re-
spond 10 il whenever he hears ii uttered.
As soon as he is well on the wing his
language lessons should begin. Shut him
up in a darkeued room when we'll fed, and
begin by whispering the word or phrase
you wish him 70 learn. Ii he seems to listen
repeat il little louder, and continue until
he either grows restless or goes to sleep. 1t
will be but a few minutes Repeat the
same lessen and nothing else every time you
visit him, or pass within hearing for week
or ten days, and if your crow don't talk in
that time he probably never will. Generally
they will begin TO practice TO them
selves the first or second day OF
their IMPRISONMENT but once q word or
phrase is learned others will quickly fol-
low. II really talented you can make your
crow appear to answer question. For IN
stance, call his name gently and add
What?" in loud, emphatic tone. Soon,
when his name his called, he will respond
"What?" with juSt the same emphasis and
infection that lie has heard you give. Then,
again, if You say Its dinner time" when
ever you feed him, some day be viii walk
into the house hungry aud grayely an-
nounce, ITS dinner time"
As he grows in knowledge your crow will
develop variety OF thieyiSh and amusing
tricks too numerous to mention. He will
cultivate the most friendly acquaintance
with some people and show az unaecount-
able anm0sity toward others. He will at
tend you part way whenever you leave
home and, if your hours of return are Te5u-
lar, Will probably meet you at the same
spot and welcome you eXubeTantly. Every
time he fails 10 do SO look for him at once :;
he will either be in some enhancing bit Of
mischief or else dead.-NRtuTe'S Realm.

SECURED THE LIZARD.
How a Medical student Cured a b
NYitched CnInred Man

How a Medical student Cured a Be-
witched Colored Man.
A young medical student from the South
attending lectures in this city tells how he
cured a patient who was suffering with a
curious ailment, says the New York Times.
The patient was an old negro, who for
many weeks had been gradually wasting
away from no apparent cause. When
questioned by his family as to the nature of
his trouble, the old fellow would sadly
shake his head and beg them not to press
the question. The young man noticed the
old mans emaciated condition one day. and.
becoming interested in the matter. made it
his business to find out what the ailment
was. 1t was d fiicult Job TO extort anv in
formation from the aged patient but finally
be broke down and confessed that he had
been bewitched and had a lizard In his
arm.
The student gravely assured the negro
that taking reptiles from bewitched people
was his specially, and that he had stocked
several menageries in that way. He finally
succeeded Ia gaining the patients conf
denee and dismissed him with a supply of
bread pills and instructions to call the fol-
lowing week. When the negro put in his ap-
pearance next time the student had dead
lizard in readiness, and convinced his pa
iient that it was the identical one that
formally abided In his arm. He straight
way began 10 improve, and is now vigorous
and hearty.

Some wives Always Irnnra II.

Whole denominations of Christians have
dropped the word obey from the mar
rage service. The great Roman Catholic
Church never had it inserted, and even in
the Episcopal Church it is occasionally
omitted-I have personally known several
instances-or when retained, it is constantly
explained by the parties concerned, or even
by the cleTgymen, As thing to be taken
with a mental reservation. Two things
have contributed to thistle constant in
crosse in the number of women who earn
incomes of their own, and the vast progress
of the higher education. Either of these ex-
perienceS very soon expands the wings of
strong feminine nature, and a return to the
chrySalis is thenceforth impossible. 1t is
cut of the question to give woman equal edu-
cation and equal property rights and yet
keep her In the PROSTATE altitude she occu-
pied when ner earnings belonged to her hus-
band, and when the law denied her the
safeguard, called benefit of clergy" on the
ground that it was not supposable she
could read or write.-Harper's Bazaar.
