Dunning a Man-O'-War.

Strange scenes marked the weighing
of the anchor of man-of-war belong
ing to South American Government
at Toulon the other night. 1t is said
that the officers had contracted debts
amounting to about $4,000 in the
southern naval seaport. Accordingly
the vessel before leaving the roadstead
was surrounded by boatloads of excited
and clamoring creditors, who made at
tempts to get on board, but were
threatened by the crew of the man-of-
war. Both officers and men, accord
ing to the report, said that they would
prevent anybody from entering the
ship at the point of the sword. The
French cooks and stewards, who had
been hired for the messroom of the
foreign man-of-war, then left the YES
sci, as they were afraid they might re-
ceive bad treatment during the voyage.
As the creditors were unable to get ON
board they had themselves rowed back
to shore and lodged complaint with
the Justice of the Peace. A writer"
was soon dispatched out to the foreign
vessel, but the captain refused TO see
him. Soon afterward the man-ofwar
stood ont to sea, and the creditors,
finding that the naval project of the
port could do nothing for them, re-
solved to bring their grievances to the
notice of the Minister OF Foreign Affairs.

Popularity Of Embalming.

The idea of earning livelihood out
of the making of mummies is not one
to commend itself ut first glance to the
female mind, and the CHASTITY associa-
tions of the occupation are to many in
superably repellent. But embalming
has for many reasons established itself
in popular favor. 1t is the only sure
means of preventing the spread of con-
tagious diseases, through transmission
by the undertaker's ice-box or assist
ants. 1t is a preventive against pre-
mature burial in the case of a catalep-
tic subject, as the first incisions and
injections of the embalming fluid are
likely to induce signs of life if any re-
main. Another favorable feature is the
possibility of shipping bodies long
distance with convenience. 1t is not
generally known that throughout this
country large numbers of women have
adopted embalming as a profession,
and the head college of embalming has
large proportion of women graduates.
Far from showing any horror or unfit
ness for the business, women are said
to be peculiarly deft and efficient in
tut luJlcS IuROlNoti, WIjSh LII u bShShuA
way consists only in opening several
of the large arteries, pumping out the
blood and injecting preservative fluids.
Many of the women graduates have
been trained nurses who saw an oppor-
tunity to make more money than at
their former profession. One advan-
tage of the art is that it is easily ac-
quired. The prospectus of the College
of Embalming sets forth that "past ex-
perience has demonstrated that COM
plete mastery of the science OF body
preservation in all its branches cannot
be obtained in the short space of two
or three days, and therefore the length
of time required to learn the process
may extend from one week upward,
according to the aptitude of the stu
dent" When the student has proved
his or her ability to conduct the opera
tion of embalming under different con-
ditions in a satisfactory manner a di-
ploma is granted, aud the ordinary
length of time reqrised for graduation
is two weeks. Chicago Record.

An account of thunderstorm in

mussels, which is said to have occurred
at Paderborn, Germany, in August,

yellowish cloud attracted the attention

and the rapidity of its motion, when
suddenly it burst. A torrential rain
fell with rattling sound, and i'm
mediately afterward the pavement was
found to be covered with hundreds of

has the same general characteristics as
the volcanic dust which has been found
in quantity along the Republican River,
in southern Nebraska, aud in Knox,
Cumming, and Seward Counties in the

stained with oxide of iron and the
sharp angular grains coated with car

A Remarkable Fish.

The little European fish called the

male is the only fish which has u

low eggs in the gills Of the fresh.water
mussel. This has long been known.
