MISTAKEN FOR A CORPSE.
How Bellevue Hospital Patient Came
Near Getting Into a Coffin.

How q Bellevue Hospital Patient Came
Near Getting Into a Coffin.
A charity patient died not long ago since
in Bellevue Hospital, New York. The
corpse was temporarily removed to what is
known as the death Chamber" or sur
gical ward, to make way for a new patient.
The Coroner received the remains and, as is
customary gave the necessary permit for
burial. In this same surgical ward was
man under the influence of ether about to be
operated upon. The operating surgeons
were momentarily forced to leave the SUBJ
jeet to attend dying patient in an adjoiD-
ing ward. Meantime the city under
takers assistants arrived and hurriedlv
carted off what they thought was the dead
charity patient.
They got hold of the patient under the
influence of ether by mistake, and the
error was not discovered until the, patient
had been taken down two flights of stairs
The nurse says she was in anotb er part of
the ward, and the doctors say their absence
was unavoidable.

In May, 1889, turned a Kodak on an
immense bowlder on the right bank of the
Allegheny river, 16 miles below Oil CITY,
Pa, known in that section. and to all river
men, as "The Indian God" The rock
stands close to the waters edge, in wild
and isolated section, and is "a feet wide and
IA feet high. As it is approached it has the
appearance of an elephant standing with its
feet in the river.
One side of this rock is carved with rude
carving, which, according to the traditions
of Pennsylvania, was the work of the In
dians. There is now some reason to believe
that it may have been done by the Morse
men as early as the eleventh century, hun

Berry Names.

"Strawberry.n-A fruit. The word
is made up of "straw" and cherry"
The Aryan root of straw is star. which
means to strew-the star being a
strewer of light. BY the time the Ar
van root has passed through several
changes in passing from Asia to the
Anglo-Saxon land it has become strae.
Straw is a corruption of strae, which
means to stray. The strawberry is

Wine From Rose Leaves.

Says lady of this city who is a good
housekeeper: 81 visited a friend re-
Gently and she gave me glass of wine.
1t was of pale-amber tint and had all
the sparkle and delicacy of flavor of
champagne, and when opened popped
loudly. 1t was effective, though mild
as a stimulant, and l thought it very
fine. I asked what variety of grape it
was made from and my friend told me
it was made of rose leaves. Take the
freshly picked leaves she said, and
put into a jar alternately a layer of
leaves and sugar and pour over all a
little cold water. In four days strain,
let stand week, and then bottle for
use.' The wine is delightful bever-
age. .r-Atla7atG Journal.

Making Petroleum Solid.

Experiments are still being made
under the direction of the Russian gov
ernment, with the view of finding a
process, at once practical as well as
desirable on the score of economy and
cleanliness, ofsolidifying the petroleum
used as fuel. According to the report
made by DR.. Kaufman, who has had
the principal charge of these expert
ments, a successful method of accom-
plishing the desired result consists SIM
ply in heating the oil, and afterward
adding from to per cent of soap.
The latter dissolves in the oil, and the
liquid on cooling forms a mass having
the appearance of cement and the hard
ness of compact tallow. The product
is hard to Ii ght, burns slowly and with
out smoke, but develops much heat,
and leaves about 2 per cent of a hard,
residuum.- York Sun.
