DisposIng of His Ashes.

An eccentric Washingtonian, who died some time ago, possessed of a deal of this worlds goods, has left on file in his will at the registrars office a peculiar contribution on the subject of cremation, says the Washington Post.
 After consigning his soul to his Maker, as the time-honOred custom of making wills prescribes, he starts off with a request that none of his kith or kin shall make any marked changes in their manner of dress. He then com mands that his body shall be burned.
 The ashes his friends may dispose of as they choose. They may be used to fertilize his daughters fower-bed, or they may be sprinhed under his favor ite orange tree in his grove in Florida. These remarkable instructions also ap- ply to the dust of his first wife, for he directs those who mourn for him when his breath has left the body to search ''the closets upstairs" where they will find the ashes of Mary Ann. These are to be cremated with him. Before pro- ceeding to dispose of his property, he also requests that his second wife, at her decease, give her body to be burned, but that she dispose of the ashes according to her own sweet will.

Giving the Mitten.

The following is from the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette: A young lady in this city is carrying on quite an original and pretty little philan- thropic work of her own, and with ex- cellent results. At the beginning of the winter she invested in a large num- Der of warm mittens of various sizes, and every cold day, before going out, two or three pairs of these are slipped into her pocket. To use her own words: ''It is very seldom that re- turn without having found some man. woman, or child whose hands look sufficiently red and cold to justify me in offering them pair of the mittens from my little stock. It is very tiny charity, but it pleases me to feel can make somebody even one degree more comfortable in these depressing times"

Transparent Leather.

The manufacture of transparent leather, an article which has lately at- tracted some attention, may be ac- complished, according to the Magazin Pittoresque, in the following manner: After the hair has been removed from the hide, the latter, tightly stretched upon a frame, is rubbed with mix ture consisting of one thousand parts glycerine, two parts salicylic acid, two parts picric acid, and twenty-five parts boric acid. Before the hide is abso- lutely dry it is placed in a room which the rays of the sun do not pene- trate, and is saturated with a solution of bichromate of potash, and, on the hide becoming very dry, there is ap- piled to it's surface an alcoholic solu- tion of tortoise shell, by which a transparent aspect is obtained. The leather is of an exceedingly flexible character, and is used for the manu- facture of toilet articles, though it is claimed to be fairly adapted to the production of foot gear.

ACROSS THE YAouI COUNTRY
The First White Man Who Ever Accom- DIished the TriD,

The First White Man Who Ever Accom-
 plished the Trip.
 Charles T. Naylor, an American pros pector who left the city of Chihuahua eight months ago for trip across the Sierre Madre mountains and through the wild and dangerous coun. try inhabited by the Yaqui Indians, arrived at Hermosillo, Mexico. re. gently.
 His trip was made in the search o1 silver and gold, and was the most des. perate undertaking imaginable. MT. Naylor's route from Chihuahua was by way of Tomochic, the town which was entirely depopulated in an attack made upon the inhabitants over year ago by Mexican troops, who massacrec the men, women and children.
 Mir. Naylor stated that in the noun. tains west of the fated town he came upon band of about two hundred Tomochic braves who had an almost impenetrable rendezvous upon which all attacks of Mexican soldiers had proved futile. Upon observing that Mir. Naylor was an American bent upon peaceful mission, he was well received. He spent two weeks with the Tomochics and then entered the Yaqui country. It was there that he met with difficulties. He was captured by band of Yaquis and held prisoner for several days pending a decision of the chief as to what disposition should be made of him. After several solemn councils by the chief with the other prominent members of the tribe, MT. Naylor was placed upon horse and with two wounded Indians as guards was started across the coun- try toward the west. He passed through number of villages, and was never permitted to tarry longer than one night at single place.
 At the western confines of the Yaqui country his guards left him and he made his way with great difficulty across the mountains to Hermosillo. MT. Naylor tells some ma4 velous stories of the mineral richness of the Yaqui country and states that the number of the members of the Yaqui tribe has been greatly underestimated. He claims to have seen fully three thou sand armed braves. Some of the In- dian towns contain handsome chapels and buildings, all of Aztec architec- ture. MT. Naylor is the first white man that is known to have crossed the Yaqui country. There have been nu- merous attempts made, but the Va quis always interfered. This is the only tribe in Mexico which has never been conquered.

TO LIFT NAPLES.
An Italian Engineer Would Construct m
 Elevated Railway There.

An 1CaIian EnSln6Sr VI OQIQ COnSCruCt m
 Elevated Railway There.
 If the scheme elaborated by an Ital- ian engineer for the construction of an elevated railway in Naples is car ried into execution Italy will, accord ing to the Electrical Review, possess one of the most remarkable structures in the world. As far as length is con- cerned the projected line IS not of great importance, but the boldness of the idea and it's originality are stril1- ing. Let the imagination conceive the hilly portion of a town connected by means of viaducts and towers, with that part lying at a low level, and the substance of A. Avena's project will then be readily understood. The hand some and populous part of Naples, radiating from Via Roma, has only communication with the Corso Wit torio Emmanuele, the San Martino hill, and the tat still higher leveI
 new Rione del Vomero by means of narrow, tortuous streets, many of them being impracticable for carriage traffic. It is between these two ex- treme localities that the proposed ele- vated railway is to form a connection. The line is to be carried on two metal lie viaducts, each divided so as to form a double way, one for the operation of electric cars and the other for pedes- trians. A masonry tower 325 feet high is to be built in the Via Roma, and from this the first viaduct, 1,1S0 feet long, will be carried to the Corso Wit torio Emmanuele, where it will termi- nate in the base of metallic tower 490 feet in height. The second via duct, $50 feet long and branching out of this tower some distance below the summit, will pass over the San Mar tino hill and end in the ground level at the new Rione del Vomero. The viaducts will be carried on pyramidical metallic towers having masonry foun- dations; and the masonry tower at the beginning of the first viaduct and the metallic tower, connecting the two viaducts, will each be provided with staircases and capacious lifts for conveying passengers up and down. Passengers entering the cars at either end of the line will not be compelled to change their seats on arriving at the metallic tower, as the cars will be au- tomatically placed on the lifts for as- cending or descending from the high est viaduct, when the cars will con- tinue their way to either terminus. Generating stations will be provided at each terminus for producing current for lighting and power purposes. The undertaking, concession for which has been granted. would provide a splendid view of the whole of Naples.

SHE TENDED STILL.
What Revenue Officer Discovered in the
 North Carolina Mountains.

DlSCOVoT60
 North Carolina Mountains.
 For many years Eph Honeycutt, of Mission, Stanley county, has conducted brandy distillery, and had a reputa- tion throughout that country for mak- ing the best brandy to be had, says the Charlotte News. The distillery was always conducted in an orderly way. which is not the case with all of them.
 The other day revenue officer went down to the still to mark up the bran dy, and To, and behold! a woman was attending to things. The officer in- quired of the woman as to Honeycutt's whereabouts.
 Hes not here; does not stay here" replied the woman.
 "Well, who runs the stilI?'
 'Why, do, of course. have been attending to it for these many days, and can make just as good brandy as Eph Honeycutt can"
 ''Well, who are you, and who does this distillery belong to?" asked the officer in astonishment.
 "The whole thing, including myself, belongs to Eph Honeycutt, for am his wife. I attend to things for him, be- cause he has the farm and other mat ters to look after"
 And then she went around to chunk" up the fire and squeezed the flannel strainer in the doubling keg" to see if the ''singlings" were strong enough.

VlTlATED AIR.
Impurity of the Atmosphere of Steam
 Heated Buildings.

Impurity of the Atmosphere of Steam
 Heated Buildings.
 Tn an article contributed to the Philadelphia Record by Dr. F. A. Ad- ans, the inquiry is propounded whether the immense increase of steam-heated office buildings, in which the great majority of rooms have no adequate means for the renewal of the air to be warmed, may not in large measure account for the prevalence of pneumonia among middle-aged men. Many of these buildings, Dr. Adams says, are admirably constructed to keep out air, whether cold or not; this very perfection contributing to their insalubrity. In these dramatically sealed office rooms that abound in business buildings the steam heats the atmosphere to delightfully."- comfort able degree, and the occupant breathes and rebreathes the air during zero days when an open window cannot be endured, the effect being to silently undermine his powers of resistance, so that when he goes forth, exchanging such tropical air for the keen breeze of unrestricted nature, it happens that, through some subtle change in his system which has robbed his lungs of their power of resistance, their ca pacity to endure the onset or transi- tion is gone and the subtle poison of unrenewed air does it's deadly work in the form of pneumonia.
