EATING NAILS WITH RELISH.
Young Man Whose Stomach Hankers
for Hardware and Bullfrogs.

Two years ago Joseph Gum, then
boy of Is years, visited New York
and saw the "human ostrich" in the
Bowery. says a Hartford Conn cor
respondent of the N. Y. Herald. That
freak exercised a pernicious influence
over the young man. He is now lying
IN the Hartford hospital suffering
greatly and probably at the point of
death. Joseph Gum is the son of
well-known and respected resident of
this city, but for the last year his aim
in life has been to be ''tough." For
while he worked in the machine screw
company shop, but in December last
he was caught robbing a cigar store
and was sent to Jail for one year.
Three weeks ago he complained of
severe abdominal pains and became so
i'll that Father Leddy was sent for, to
whom Joseph made remarkable con-
fession. He stated that for two years
past he has been in the habit of swal-
lowing metal as he had seen the ''hu-
man ostrich" do. While at work in
the shop he was wont to eat steel fl
ings and occasionally tack or two as
an entree. He never suffered from
from this, but continued eating tacks
and tin-foil rolled into pellets.
About a month ago he decided to
have banquet, and according to his
confession he swallowed a screw an
inch and half long. The screw was
either out of season or was not proper
ly digested. and Joseph's chances of
continued existence are very slim in
deed, The priest Immediately inform
ed the prison authorities. and Drs.
Mayer and Morrissey ordered his re-
moval to the hospital. His case baf-
fes the physicians. Gums cellmate
Edwards. says that he once saw the
young man swallow ten-penny nail
without the slightest difficulty. and ap-
parently with relish. His old shop
mates say they have frequently seen
him eat steel filings and other pieces
of metal.
His pain is described as agonizing.
He can not lie down nor bend his
body without fearful suffering Joseph's
mother told me that her sons stomach
did not banker for hardware alone.
but that she had seen him swallow a
live bullfrog, and on one occasion a
"shiner" caught but a moment before
from the waters of Park river.

The Nicaragua Canal Project $40
Years Old.

A Mexican gentleman lately gave
bit of curious history with regard to
the proposed Nicaragua canal. He
said that in the early days of the Span
ish occupation there was talk of a
canal across the isthmus, and Span
ish explorer named Gomara in 1851 in
dicated the Nicaragua route as the
most feasible between the two seas.
The Spanish government did not at
the time give the matter attention, but
in 1871, desiring quicker communica-
ton between the oceans sent out an
officer named Galisteo to make sur
vey of three different routes, and.
among them that through Nicaragua.
He also reported in favor of the latter.
but Spain could not raise the funds for
construction. In 1888 the route was
again surveyed. this time by an Eng
lishman named Bailey, who was en-
pleyed by the state of Nicaragua, and
again in 1851 by Col. Childs for COM
pany which proposed to undertake the
canal. Nothing came of it. but in 1873
an officer of the United States navy
made the surveys which resulted in the
choice of the route by the company
which is now engaged on the work of
the Globe Democrat.

CURIOUS CEREMONIES.
What Was Done When the Grown Prince
of Siam Became OF Age.

The crown prince of Siam became Of
age the other day, and in accordance
with the custom of the country he had
his hair cut with great ceremony. The
hair in question was in the shape of a
top-knot, which had been sedulously
cultivated since he was baby. Every
Siamese boy or girl is subjected to this
process, the boy when he is supposed
to be old enough to be withdrawn from
the control of the women of the harem
and the girl when the marriageable
age draws near. 1t is time of great
rejoicing even with the humblest, and
in the case of scion of royalty there
is as much preparation almost as there
is for a coronation. The heir-appar-
ent is IA years old. and for three days
there were professions to and from
and invocations at the principal tenn
pies of the capital.
The principal feature of these pro-
cessions consisted of battalions of
young men and women in the costumes
of the different provinces of the king
dom. Five hundred girls, keeping
exact time in their marching, formed
the van, the officers armed with baby
swords and the rank and file with toy
rifles. '.At the sides of the process
sion," writes a correspondent, went
lictors clad in green and blue, sooth-
sayers of all ages and sizes wearing
their tall pink and white conical caps,
pages in gaudy apparel, apparitors
clothed from head to foot in Mephis-
tophelian scarlet. Then, in the main
contingent. were dark-skinned High
landers in kits and plaids. diminutfve
sheiks and stumpy grenadiers, Goork-
has and Sepoys, and score of other
mimic warriors. John Chinaman was
there in azure pantaloons, well pig
tailed, well-hatted, well-umbrellaed,
and well-fanned; nor was Japan nor
any part of India left without repre-
sentatives in the march. Behind the
royal palanquin came white-clad angels
crowned with the ringed and pointed
crown, and bearing a sort of thyrsus
meant for gold and silver flowers.
Countless drummers, pipers and trum-
peters encouraged the processionists
on their way, and brass bands thun-
dered forth European airs at the sea-
sonable moment"
The cutting of the top-knot took
place in the palace yard with conse-
Grated scissors, and then the boy was
taken up to the summit of mountain
that had been constructed specially for
the occasion. Here, in an artificial
lake. he underwent the ordeal of a
BATH and then was invested with the
five insignia of royalty-the crown, the
sword, the fan. the slippers, and the
five-storied umbrella.

Woodpeckers and Sparrows.

The St. Louis Gtobs-Democrat says
the English sparrow has mortal
enemy in the common red-headed
woodpecker, which, though no giant
among birds is as big as half a dozen
English sparrows and not afraid of half
hundred. The woodpecker's beak is
so hard and his head and neck are so
powerful that in single peck he can
kill sparrow. and the English birds
have become aware of his powers and
are very much afraid of him. The ap-
pearance of red-headed woodpecker
will set whole flock of sparrows to
flight, and the only time they will face
him is when he makes an onset on their
nests. The eggs of the sparrows are
not larger than peas and their young
about the size of grubworms, and a
nest full of young sparrows is dainty
picnic for woodpecker, which he is
careful not to overlook. The sparrows
will fight. but they can not drive him

A Haunted House.

The wild wind howls amongst the groaning
trees
The raindrops beat against the window
pane,
A night so dark that one but family sees
The shadows of the woods across the lane.
The house is full of weird and ghostly sounds,
A door will rattle and a window shake,
Some goblin boldly on the ceiling pounds;
'Tis but mouse-but yet it makes me quake.
Why does my candle in that manner flare?
A little more and surely twill go out;
y restless spirits rowing through the air,
Quench not my taper as ye fly about!
Did not hear creaking on the stair,
Surely a foOtstep sounded on the floor;
Did not that door-latch rattle over there,
Or is it all mere fancy-nothing more?
'Tis but my own; think ri change my seat;
Jovel How the noise re-echoed through the
wish my heart would not so loudly beat.
How cold it grows; whence comes that chill
ing draught?
I'll close the door and hope the lock is stout.
What is that noise? Some goblin must have
To think that such frail means would keep
him out!
Hark to the church clock tolIing forth the
'Tis IL o clock that awesome hour of gloom,
When spirits, tortured by some ghastly crime,
Take ghostly shape and wander from the
tomb.
They say this house is haunted by the shade
OF some poor woman: but know not why,
Or whether she was widow, wife or maid;
Nor can ] tell you how she came to die.
only know that it is very drear-
To tell the truth, my flesh begins to creep,
When such foul spirits rove about the air
'Tis time for honest folks to be asleep.

MOB HILLS USELESS PALACES.
Five Enormous Buildings Intended 10
Private Residences, but Unfit.

A morning contemporary announces
as matter of news that Mrs. Hopkins
Searles offers her residence on Cali
fornia street for sale. 1t might have
added, as companion item. that the
Pilgrim Fathers had landed on Ply
mouth Rock. There has been no time
for many years that the Hopkins man
sion on California street has not been
for sale, though, if public rumor be
believed, the owner has not been dis
tracted by many offers to purchase. 1t
is, in fact, difficult to conceive who
could want to become its possessor at
any price:
The spectacle of Mob Hill, with
palatial piles crowning it's ridge, fills
the stranger who visits California with
mild amazement. There are five big
buildings there which were built as
private residences, and are as unfit for
that use as could be conceived. They
were apparently modelled on the plan
of the palaces of the Old World. which
were erected to be the homes of feudal
barons and all their retainers. In the
middle ages every nobleman supported
a swarm of dependents. He had to
| find quarters for them, and of course
his lodgings had to be large. In our
| day rich men do not maintain much
larger households than their neighbors.
Individually they cannot occupy more
| than dozen rooms, and as many will
| lodge all the servants they can employ.
More rooms than this are of no possi-
BILE use. Conceived in ostentation,
their destiny is to become lumber
closets. In the old feudal castles OF
Europe the modern possessor is lost:
it gives him a nightmare to wander
through maze of rooms which are
never occupied save by mice and
spiders, and he fees to take refuge in
a bedroom and parlor at club or hotel.
1t must be much the same in the man
sions of Mob Hill.
If they have any destiny, it must be
to become some day public buildings
museums or hospitals Even for thai
use they would have to be donated by
their owners, for the city could builc
suitable edifices for less money thar
they would cost if they were bought.
1t seems odd that men with thu
sagacity required to build transcon
tinental railroad and to acquire vas
fortunes should not have understood
that house that is too big may be a
inconvenient as a house that is toe
small. A very small quantity o
shelter is all that the richest and great
est of us can want. A bedroom, :
dressing room, a reception room, {
parlor, a dining room, library, ant
perhaps billiard room-what NOR
than this can Cr9sus occupy, thougl
