Dwarfs Live to Great Age.

Contrary to their huge rivals in in
terest, dwarfs frequently attain great
age Richebourg. who died in Paris in
1853, was ninety years old. He was
only twenty-three inches high, some
thing less than the stature of our own
most celebrated dwarf, General Tom
Thumb. The first English dwarf Of
whom there is authentic record was only
II feet high till thirteen years Of age,
though he afterward attained the height
of 3 feet inches. This was Jeffrey
Hudson, who was presented to Queen
Henrietta by the Duchess of Bucking-
ham.
Hudson on that occasion surprised the
company by stepping out Of a pie. He
is said to have fought two duels--one
with a turkey cock and one with Mr..
Crofts, whom he shot and killed. Hud-
son died in his sixty-third year in the
Gate House prison, having been accused
as conspirator in the popish plot

A Feminine Carpenter.

A plucky and Independent girl is Miss
Elizabeth More, of Edgeworth, Pa.
With her own hands she recently built a
neat little cottage, laying the founda-
tons, plastering the walls of the differ
ent rooms and performing all the car
penter work to a builders taste. To do
this she found it necessary to don male
attire, and young girl friend helped
her over the hardest part of the work.
Miss More is said to be as pretty as she
is energetic. She was once a protege of
Jane Gray Swisshelm, and the lessons
that stern champion Of woman's rights
taught her apparently have not been for
gotten. Commercial.

What the Barber Pole Represents.

The BARRIERS of long ago were barber
surgeons, but the rapid advance of sur
gical science has caused them to fall
from their high estate. The gilt knob
at the end of the barber pole Of today
represents brass basin, which but a
few decades since was actually suspended
from the pole. The basin had notch
cut in it to fit the throat, and was used
in lathering the customer, preparatory
to shaving him. The pole represents
the staff held by the patient who came
to the barber surgeon to be bled. The
two spiral stripes painted around it sig
Nifty the two bandages, one for twisting
around the arm previous to the act of
phlebotomy, or blood letting, the other
for binding when the operation was
completed.-St. Louis Republic.

Washington for the second time. 1t
was found that there were twenty six
bidders altogether. Contracts for the
construction of the building have been
let to four firms-three in Chicago and
one in Indianapolis-fo different parts
of the work. The aggregate amount of
these contracts is 1916, 757, which is less

The discovery of a new mineral in
Texas, which possesses many valuable
properties, is an event of no little inn
portance. 1t is stated that it is imper-
vious to water and unaffected by heat,
acid or alkales. 1t is said, also, to be
the most perfect insulator yet discov-
cred. 1t may be made into a paint or
varnish that will remain undisturbed
under all atmospheric conditions. The
claims for its use in many different di-
rections seem fabulous, but they are
vouched for by many persons whose
evidence is unimpeachable. 1t meets
the conditions of India rubber, and will
transform the wood pulp into some
thing like ebony or horn. In electricity
its use is wonderful. Fortunately it is
found in great abundance.

Articles Lifted by Elsctricity.

1t is we'll known scientific fact that .
ruler made of hard rubber or gutta percha
may be so charged with electricity by
friction with a wooden cloth that it will
cause to be attracted to it small pieces of
paper. This fact has been made use of
in machine devised to pick up separate
ly single sheets of thin and light materi-
al, like paper, light fabrics, etc., in such
a manner that each sheet may be re-
moved and examined. This machine
consists of roller formed of substance
capable of being charge with electricity
and roller covered with fur, which is
rotated at high speed.
During the operation the electrified
roller approaches the pile of paper by the
action of an eccentric, and attracts the
upper sheet, the next sheet below being
repealed by the well known law of cleo
tricity. The first sheet now falls upon a
continuance which is inserted in the
meantime between the pile and the de-
tached sheet, and can be easily removed
or fed into a ruling machine, if desired.

A TWILIGHT SONG.
The thrush has piped his last clear note
To herald tWilight's hour

The thrush has piped his last clear note
To herald twilight's hour.
And fragrant breezes gently float
Around your silent bower.
Now drops the dusky robe OF Night,
And, clasping 1t above,
One jeweled star shines clear and bright
IL Is the Star OF Lowell
Yet cold and cherries seems Its ray,
Sweetheart while you are far away.
The fountain, like fairy lutte,
In tinkling cadence falls;
And through the wood, with fltful boot,
His mate the owlet calls.
The crescent moon behind the hill
Creeps up. with silvsry light;
Yet round your bower linger still,
While evening grows to night,
And count each weary hour day,
Sweetheart! while you are far away.

A Terrible Appetite.

A prominent physician Of Louisville
claims to have a case which is unique in
the history of medicine, and is that of u
child of six years old which has devel-
oped an appetite for her own blood. The
child is that of respectable parents, who
are exceedingly sensitive on the subject
of the little ones unheard of character
istics, and their reluctance to have the
matter made public has prevented the
doctor reporting the case for the benefit
of the profession. He has. however,
taken into consultation famous Eng
lish physician, who agrees with him in
pronouncing the case unparalleled.
The child is an intelligent little girl,
Of gentle disposition and apparently
quite healthy. When asked why she
wants to suck her blood she declares
she Is thirsty for 1t and cannot help do
ing 1t. Her singular appetite is of only
about six weeks duration, and was first
noticed by her mother finding her one
morning bathed in blood, with wound
torn in her forearm.
Surprising rat had bitten her the
doctor was summoned, who, questioning
the child, was Mortified to hear her
frankly state she had inflicted the wound
herself. She has repeated the act some
half a dozen times since at irregular in
tervals, and narrowly escaped bleeding to
death on one or two occasions. She has
been severely punished for the act, but
to no avail. Her parents declare that
there is nothing in the family history to
explain the thing. 1t is thought the
child will outgrow the morbid appetite.

How One Proverb Originated.

When the ginseng trade was at it's
height it was considered more profitable
to gather ginseng than to cultivate the
farm, and agriculture was almost en-
tirely neglected. The result was that
the plant almost entirely disappeared.
1t came to be proverb among the peo-
pie, when speaking of some matter that
had failed, "Ceste tombe CONNIE lie GIN
seng" ct has gone down like ginseng).-

BURIAL OF MRS. YOUNG.

The following notice of the burial
of Mrs. Young is clipped from a
California paper:
The funeral of the late Mrs. Har-
riet (. Young, who died at Kahuku,
Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, on the 10Th
inst, took place this afternoon from
the residence of Mrs. Alexander
Young at 1913 Madison street. The
deceased, who was the wife of Alex
ander Young, Jr., of Honolulu and
the daughter of the Rev. p. G..
Buchanan of this city, was brought
TO Oakland in order that she might
be buried beside her mother in
Mountain View Cemetery.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. DR.. Mclean and his as
sistant, Rev. Mr.. Emerson. DR..
McLean's funeral sermon was an i'm
pressive one appropriate to the occa-
sion, and brought tears to the eyes
of many of the listeners. Many
beautiful floral pieces had been pre-
sented, including a large broken
column and handsome pillow.
The gentlemen who officiated as
pall-bearers were: B. Wastell, II.

jurors should divest themselves of All
political feeling or any opinions they
might entertain toward the Mechanics
| Union. There were different methods
OF redressing the grieva nee OF being
attacked in character through pub
lie print. The attack might be re.
torted, personal assault might be
made, even to the length OF assassina-
ton, or redress might be sought
through the courts. 1t was needless
to say that the last mentioned method
was the best. 1t was necessary that
the published accusations against the
plaintiff should be proved true, al
though it might be too much to say
that the evidence should be indubit-
able enough convict the plaintiff
OF crime-fOr instance, in this case,
Of embezzling goods belonging to his
creditors. The transaction was an
old one and there need be no imputa-
ton against Mr. Atherton for not
being able to produce all the docu-
ments. They should find verdict of
dam .ges on the tlst ground if they
found it not proved that plaintiff had
concealed the goods, although the
question of malice or none should go
to refusing or mitigating damages.
The charge that plaintiff had organ
lied troupe of hula dancers was not
libelous in ITSELF especially when
there was no allegation of damages
sustained by the charge. 1t would
not lnjure man in the show bust
ness, but it would injure minister Of
religion, or a Judge, or a school
teacher. The latter part of the charge
was, However, libelous because it was
injurious TO the credit OF plaintiff as
tradesman. The charge OF treating
with Mr.. Thurston for bride was
liable t do him damage in his bust
ness,and unless they found It was true
and published for a good purpose
they should find damages AS to
amount of damages that which was
claimed was no guide for them, ex-
cept that they could not find any
larger amount. 1t was their duty to
guard Mr.. Crowley's character against
any attacks that could not be defend
ed by facts in justification or mitigA-
ton.
The jury retired to consider their
verdict at 4 ;4G. At 4 ;55 they return
ed vito verdict for the defendant,
three dissenting. The Court there
upon discharged the jury and adj
journed for the day.

THE TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD KING.

The spontaneous tribute paid to
the dead monarch of Hawaii yester-
day by San Franciscans of all classes
was striking illustration Of the
hold Kalakaua had gained on our
esteem, and of the nearness of his
people to ours. Not only was there
a great pageant, such as the authori-
ties might have prepared for any
potentate dying in our midst, and an
immense throng of people, such as
would naturally be attracted by the
pageant, but the business houses in
the wholesale districts were closed by
common consent, as they would not
have been except in the presence of
Il bereavement coming very near to
the hearts of our people. If there
be any criticism of these honors paid
King, it is sufficient to say that we
should have expected as much if the
President of the United States had
died in any foreign city. In the
present case the respect due to a
dead ruler and his country received
an added touch of feeling from the
fact that the ruler was kalakaua and
his country Hawaii.-S. f. Exam
