Sheared from the sheep, a filthy an dun

Ii must first be sorted, each fleece con-
tanning from six to eight qualities of
sorts. which the careful manufacturer
separates. devoting each quality to the
purpose for which it is best suited. No
skiu in carding, spinning. weaving or
finishing can possibly produce n soft or
Inc piece Of goods from a coarse, hard
dber.
When a wooden thread is to be spun to
tie length Of IS. $50 yards to a pound,
OF in the case of a worsted thread
10 twice that number of yards to the
pound. everything depends upon care
IN the selection OF the fleece and in the
sorting. The sorts are impregnated
with a greasy substance called the yoIk
or STUNT caused by the animal score
tons and the perspiration of the skin,
a compound of potash and animal fat,
which must be completely eradicated.
The elimination of the yoIk, dirt and
foreign substances common to all
woods results in a shrinkage of from
30 to 20 per cents. N. ID. North in

That wind from any one of the -four
cardinal or intermediate points should
have a more depressing effect upon the
human system than that from any OF
all of the other points seems like sheer
est nonsense. In these days, however,
We cannot forego scientific testimony.
DR.. Richards says: That all nervous
conditions in which, for want of a
o correct term, We say the nervous
tone is lowered. are much intensified
by the east wind. Indeed, the special
action of this peculiar wind is to pro
duce want Of tone or debility. Under
its influence almost all sick persons say
they IN depressed; they do not com
plain of reduced appetite nor of pain
intensified. but they declare that they
are rendered PROSTATE both In mind
and body. In brief, If a single word
were wanted to express the morbid eff
feet Of an east wind on a sick man that
word would be prostitution = St

Driven from His Position by Horrors In
cidental TO His Calling.
II was a brakeman on the Harlem
road before l entered the ministry"
said a well known Brooklyn preacher
TO me, but il wa only for a little
while. 1t proved to be a horrible call
ing. II was only a few days after l
had been installed in my position when
/ received the first shock to my nerves
We were just on the point of crossing a
small bridge that spanned a shallow
stream Of water when l heard the vhis-
tie blown for down brakes
II put on the brake as hard as I
could and then looked ahead of the
train was just in time to see a man
running for his life across the bridge on
a narrow board footway. The train
~as slowly losing its momentum, but
it was too late to ave the man from
death, for Just as he had about reached
n place Of safety the engine hit him
and he was knocked over into the
water.
when the train had been stopped
we went down and recovered the poor
fellows corpse. His skull had been
cleanly split in two and the water had
washed out his brains. The body was
placed in the baggage car, on which l
worked, and l was forced to gaze upon
she CHASTITY spectacle until we reached
he next station, where the dead man
was turned e to the authorities.
"As if that we're not enough TO pro
soce a lasting horrible impression upon
my mind. / received another and per
haps more frightful shock two weeks
later. 1t was on the same bridge. l
again heard the dreaded signal for
down brakes This time l put all the
strength ! could command into my eff
fort and keyed the brake up TO the last
notch l was able to force it to. The
next instant the chain broke. and the
train, which was gradually being
halted. bounded forward with new i'm
petus and another man was killed.
1T seems that he had tried to save
himself by clasping his hands over one
of the ties and hanging below the train
until it had passed. He had succeeded
in locking his hands around the timber,
but did not have time TO duck his head
before the cowcatcher struck his neck
cut of his head close to the shoulders
and tossed it into the water. When we
went back to recover the body we
found, TO our surprise, the headless
corpse Of the man with its hands still
linked in the grip of death around the
railroad tie.
That settled it with me. and I re
signed my place forthwith. have not
touched a brake since that day. New

simple Questions mat Pu11Ie.

An exceedingly wise man has some
times been caught by a very simple
question Of this sort. The following
for example;
How many days would it take to cut
up a piece Of cloth ffftyyards long, one
yard being cut of every dayG
Or this:
A snail climbing up a post twenty
feet high ascends five feet every day
and slips down four feet every night
How long win it take the snail 10 reach
the top Of the pOstl
These are simple questions In arith-
metie, and yet how many persons
would answer fifty days, instead Of forty
nine to the first one and twenty instead
of sixteen TO the last one. 1t is perhaps
scarcely necessary to point out that the
snail would gain one foot a day for IF
4een days, and on the sixteenth day
seach the top Of the pole, and there, Of
eourse, remain-Eew York Tribune

Distasteful Vanity.

Auerbach, the German novelist had
a great appreciation of his own powers
and work, and many stories are told of
the obtrusive way in which he displayed
his vanity. A German writer says of
him;
Every year Auerbach visits three on
four fashionable watering places, at
each of which the following episode oc-
cur at least thirty times. The novelist
INDUCES in small talk with the little
children of the natives, and invariably

PRINCE AND PRINCESS MuRAT.

utsry OF the Royal Couple Whose
Are Buried In Florida.
In the well kept little cemetery in
the quiet little city of Tallahassee, the
oApital of Florida, side by side beneath
the shade of the trees, rests all that was
mortal of a once well known prince Of
royal blood and his American BRIDE
their graves turfed over and marked
by plain marble shafts. One of thess
stones bears the following inscription:
Departed this life April Is, 1S47.
Charles Louis Napoaeon Aehiile Murat
son of the king of Naples and Caroline
Murat, aged forty-seven- This mona
ment is dedicated by his wife Catherine
IN perpetual memory of her love"
Upon the other shaft is cut these
words:
Sacred to the memory of Princess
c. A Murat, widow Of Colonel Charles
Louis Napoleon Achille Murat and
daughter Of the late Colonel Bird c.
W is, Of Virginia She departed this
life on the 9Th day of August, 1867, in
the siXty-fourth year of her age. A
kind and affectionate wife and sister.
A sincere and devoted friend. None
knew her but to love her. None named
her but to praise. This monument il
erected to her memory by her bereaved
brother and sisters"
The Prince and Princess Murat re
sided upon their plantation in Jeffer-
son county, east of Tallahassee, and
owned numerous SLAVES. They lived
IN grand style, and p.ctureS of their
royal robes and magnificent jewels are
yet fresh in the mep cries of old resi-
dents.
When the remains of the prince
we're brought from Tallahassee fos
burial the funeral cUrtege presented =
novel appearance. There were car
nages, buggies, WAGONS, carts and buck
boards, drawn by Hooded horses ordi-
nary horses, shabby horses, mules, don
keys and oxen Everybody for miles
around attended, and among the
mourners were 900 slaves, all in fune-
real black, and there yet remained upon
the plantation many slaves either too
old Dr. too young to come.
Prince Murat vas an eccentric char
acter, and old citizens who knew hin
well delight to tell anecdotes and remi-
niscences of his peculiar doings. Sew
eral of his former slaves are vet living
in and about Tallahassee, and they,
too, are proud TO have one listen to
their marvellous tales Of ''Maus Muh-
raw" The prince had three favorits
slaves-Mingo, Jerry and William
who took part in all his hunting, fish
ing and exploring expeditions.
The prince was a great sportsman
and he always shot any bird OF beazt
that came within reach of his gun. He
eve shot anything but Once that he
