Male Mortality in New Orleans.

There seems to be something pretty
serious the matter with the men of New
Orleans. There are 5000 more women
than men there; nevertheless five men
die to every four women. The trouble
comes between the ages of twenty-one
and fifty. Between the ages of thirty
and fifty the ratio of mortality Is nearly
two men to one woman. Among whites
and blacks the same curious state Of
things prevails. The doctors cannot ex-
plain why 1t happens so, but it is evi-
dent that there is going to be corner
In males In New Orleans unless some
one finds out. The excess of women be-
gan after the war, and has been increas-
ing ever since, and especially during the
last twelve years.-Atlanta Constitution.

TO A HEAD OF LORD BYRON.

Some men their smiling fates endow
With power to please as soon as seen,
With charm of hyacinthine brow,
And symmetry Of mien.
Such power was thine. Each story told,
With comment from thy burning eye,
BY lips of such godlike mold,
Claimed immortality.
Strange, radiant sorcererl Thy spell
On man or maid had equal might
To make all heaven look dark as hell.
Or almost binding bright.
For us who, In colder age,
Aver thy lines want many grace,
'Tis well If DER tn impassioned page
We see thy proud young face.
Then, gallant heart, to shipwreck tost
By the worlds madness and thine own.
We hear once more thy accent lost,
And thy resistless tone.

Trouble in the st. Clair Tunnel.

Great trouble is being experienced in
ventilating the st. Clair tunael, which
was opened last year. Owing to the
steep grades very heavy engines are
used for working the tunnel section,
and such quantities Of smoke come from
these engines that it is difficult to get
men who are willing to run them. 1t is
now proposed fitting smoke consumers
to the engines with view of mitigating
the nuisance. York Times.

Woderful Surgery.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A very delicate and most dangerous
operation was performed at the city
hospital about 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon by DR.. Ransohoff.
Some time ago Fred Miller, q young
laborer, injured himself while lifting
a very heavy weight. Strangulated
hernia developed, and the young man
was taken to the hospital. He grew
worse and in order to save his life,
heroic measures we're decided upon.
Yesterday afternoon the young man
was taken into the amphitheater OF
the hospital, and after being laid In
position on the operating table was
rlaced under the influence of ether.
The abdomen was then cut open dir.
closing the intestipes, which were
taken out of the cavity and examined
In order to find the strangulated por-
ton. When this was found abont
four inches Of the intestines we're cut
off and the ends sewed together.
while the other weak portions were
fastened 20 the abdominal walls and
closed. The operation occupied about
one hour and half, and is one of the
most delicate which has been per-
formed in the hospital for months.
Nevertheless, the patient is doing
well, and the chances are that he will
recover. Miller lives at No. ia Free
man avenue.

Queer Modes OF Burial.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Mohammedans always, wheth.
er in their own country or in one OF
adoption, bury without coffin or ca g.
ket of any kind.
During the time of the old Roman
Empire the dead bodies of all except
suicides were burned.
The Greeks sometimes buried their
dead In the ground, but more gener.
ally cremated them in imitation OF
the Romans.
In India, up till within the last few
years, the wife, either according to
her wishes or otherwise, was cremat.
ed on the same funeral pyre that
converted her dead husbands re-.
mains into ashes. When q child dies
in Greenland the natives bury q live
dog with 1t, the dog to be used by
the child as guide to the other
world. When questioned in regard
TO this peculiar superstition they
will only answer: "a dog can find
his way anywhere"
The natives of Australia tie the
hands of their dead together and
pull out their nails. This is for fear
that the corpse may scratch its way
out of the grave and become q
vampire.
The primitive Russians place 8
certificate of character in the dead
PERSONS hands, which is to be given
10 st. Peter at the gates OF heaven.

Chappy's Umbrella.

1.-THE chsppies of New York used
to roll up their trousers when the
cable announced that it was raining
in London, but they can soon discard
their CUSTOM" said John NJ. Hughey,
o, New York, at the Laclee. II saw
something ON Broadway the other
day that induced this belief. The
rsiH was coming down in tor
reb,s, and the flood of human
ity always surgiBg on that
street night and day had been
driven into doorways and under
awnings ior protection. For q half
hour not q pedestrian was seen on
the street. My attention was attract
ed by yells and / looked out big
plate glass window to see what was
causing the excitement. My curiosity
was soon satisfied. In the middle of
Broadway one Of the slim-necked
and consumptive-legged chappies was
stridlng along under a curious look
ing umbrella, as If not drop Of rain
was falling. l noticed that the UNI
brella had an unusually long handle,
with prodigious hook on the end
that almost scraped the ground as the
dude proudly cantered along
Through this hook q stream of water
was gushing out and left rivulet in
the dudes wake. The chsppie was
So overwhelmed by the tiattering re.
marks that were showered on him by
the rain frightened pedestrians who
had lost confidence In their UNI brellas
ana had taken refuge In the stores
chat he condescended to step into the
room where / was standing. This
gave me an opportunity to examine
his funny looking umbrella. found
that it was so constructed as to curl
up around the rim when opened,
forming complete gutter, like those
around the caves OF houses.
This gutter, of course, caught
the rain as it ran down
the little mansard roof OF the
umbrella and Kept it from dripping
down to the ground and splashing
the chappie's ice cream trousers. By
slight tilt of the UNI brella the water
thus caught was thrown to q common
center, which WAS the entrance to the
sewer that runs down through the
umbrellas handle and out to the
ground. There, you see, is the rid
dance Of the umbrellas defect as
protection against rain. The dude
proudly told me that 1t was the latest
thing In 'Lunnun;' that all the 'fel.
iahs' over there were using them;
that he had just come from 'Lunnun,'
and had brought the umbrella over
In the ship with him. He hadn't
said anything to the chappies about
1t, because he wanted to knock 'em
all out by being the first seen on
broadway with the newest English
invention. He knew they would all
60 wild about IL, and he was glad of
It. Well, when I get back to New
York l don't expect to see any other
kind of umbrella charried by the
chappies."
