A Husbands Act.

Desanpedro, a painter living in
the Passy Quarter of Paris, France,
shot his wife, killed his mother,
and mortaily wounded his brother:
in-law "a few evenings ago. The
killing WAS done in Desanpedro's
home. He did not live happily
with his wife, and in the after
noon returned home half drunk.
He began abusing mother and wife,
and finally struck the latter.
When her brother interfered;
Desanpedro shouted that they were
all in league against him. BE
threatened to kill them all, and
started for a back room where be
kept his revolver. HE brother
in law followed him and crap:

him loose, got the revolver, and
shot him in the side. He then
caught his wife. who had started

An Eccentric Mans Coffin.

The eccentricities of an old age
are often more startling than the
pages of romance, as the following
will prove: An esteemed but
eccentric old gentleman who lived
in a Maine village has had his
wishes carried out by being buried
in a coffin in the shape of a chair.
For the last fifteen years he had
been unable to rest except in an
easy chair, and in that position
he purposed to rest in the grave.
His friends endeayored to dissuade
him from his eccentric notion, but
he ordered a cabinet maker to con-
strnct the curious casket, which
was finished before his death. 1t
was subssantialy built of white oak
with walnut trimmings. He left
instructions to have his body
placed in sitting position, the
wrists strapped to the arms of the
chair, the limbs to it's legs, and
the head and neck to it's back. A
glass panel was in front. All these
Instructions were carried out and
the coffin placed in an upright
position in a huge box. The chair
coffin was kept on exhibition III
the room of the deceased for six
weeks previons to his death and
he took special satisfaction in
displaying il to his friends. He
was 80 years of age, a wealthy
fermery and was loved honored by
his neighbors.-New York World

MildryBrown's Awful Crime.

Gov.:B. r. Tillman, of South
Carolina who is at the Hoffman
House, was seen yesterday by a
World reporter regarding the
execution of Mildrey Brown, a
16-year-old colored girl, at
Spartanburg, Friday.
"She was convicted" be said,
of one of the most diabolical,
cold-blooded murders in the
criminal anuals OF the state. The
testimony showed that she
deliberately procured some
carbollc acid, opened the infants,
mouth while it was asleep and
poured the liquid down its throat.
The Charleston News and Courier
pleaded for executive clemency
on account of the girls age.
Another influential paper said the
law should take s,course.
1.-TWO long petitions, one signed
by citizens Of Gaffney City,
where the crime was committed,
urging me not to commute the
death sentence, and another one
in favor of a communication, were
sent to me. I found that our courts
had decided that fourteen was
the age of consent, and in view of
che atrocious nature of the murder
I decided to let the law take its
course"-N. Y.Herael

The Canard Steamship Compa-
ny has just completed and laun-.
ched a new steamer, the Campania.
for service between New York and
Liverpool. She is the largest
steamer in the world, being $50
feet in length, with tonnage of
14,500 tons, while that of the lar
gest of the present feet of ocean
grey hounds does not exceed TO-
500 tons. The Campaniais thus
only 80 feet shorter than was the
Great Eastern, while her weight
is $500 tons in excess. Nothing in

tion of the steamship; and it
would be difficult to set q limit to
it's possibilities in the future.

Difference in Eloquence.

The difference between the
eloquence of Demosthenes and OF
Cicero, is thus described by GER
tain writer: "When the people
heard Cicero they said what
admirable language! What grace
fnl gestures = But when they heard
Demosthenes they said Let us go
and fight Phillip" The one gained
the praise of the multitude; the
other moved them to action. The
one attracted the attention of the
people to himself; the other direc-
ted their attention to the work be-
fore them. The former style of
elquence may suit the popular
lecturer very we'll, whose business
is to please the crowd, but the
latter is what the minister of the
gospel wants, His object is not
to please men but to do them good;
not to attract their attention to
himself, sbut to point them II to
Christ. He who has attained to
gospel eloquence is not the one
whose eloquence is praised and
admired by all, but the one who
forgets himself and is forgotten by
other in the message which he
delivers. To speak of a min
ister's splendid style and grace
full gestures is sometimes doubt
full praise. 1t were better his
style were such that the people
would think but little about it af-
ter they had gone and would har-
dly know whether he had ges-
lures at all or not in thinking of
the truth he had proclaimed. The
truly eloquent man is the one who
makes people think Of what he
says rather than how he says it,

A Deferred kiss.

Oh. yes, I'll meet you, mother.

chloroform in Typhoid Feve:

DR.. P. Werner, physician to
the German Hospital at St.
Petersburg, has treated with the
greatest success, so says Merck's
Bulletin, lone hundred and thirty
cases Of typhoid fever by using a
out-per-cent solution Of chloro-
form La seim. Med. }. In pursuing
this, form of treatment the author
was prompted by the work Of
Behriog on the microbicide action
Of chlorform upon the bacillus of
typhoid fever but he WAS not
familiar with the observations of
DR. Stepp, Of Nuremberfi, who in
1890 successfully administered
chloroform in caser of typhoid
fever. DR.. Werner employed, as
has already been said, a one-per-
cent solution of chloroform the,
patients taking one to two tables
spoonfuls every hour or two, night
and day. without interruption, as
long as the. fever was atits height.
AS the disease abated the dose was
progressively diminished, al
though, even after the fever had
completely disappeared, the
medicine was continued for some
time, several -teaspoonfuls being
given each day. In all the cases
where this treatment was commen-
,ced before the tenth day of the
disease, the most favorable results
were obtained; the patients did
not present the regular typhoid
condition; the general SYMPTOMS
were limited to fever with feeble
ness and want of appetite; the
tongue never got into that coated,
dirty, and loathsome condition SO
characteristic of typhoid fever;
the thirst, habitully so intense,
disappeared in abont two days;
and the diarrhoea and metearism
progressively diminished and
soon disappeared altogether. Bed
sores were mover observea and
relapses were very rare. When the
treatment with chloroforp was
commenced late, the disease
being already in the third week,
such extremely favorable results
were not attained; but even in
such cases the treatment proved
very useful and was always well
borne. Nevertheless, in four cases
DR.. Werner observed a jaundice,
which in one instance was
sufficiently pronounced to advise
a suspension of the medicine. Three
of these cases were in children I;
the fourth occurred in a young
man. 1t might be remarked, in
conclusion, that the observations
of pr. Werner agree in every
respect with those of. DR.. Stepp.
The treatment of typhoid fever
by choloroform appears to be
deserving of the attention of the
practitioner, not only on account
of its efficacy, which has been
proved by two investigators inde
pendent of each other, but slsc
because of it's great simplicity.
