Physiological Effect of Music.

The results of numerous experiments made with scientific care by q Russian physician to determine what, If any, are the physiological effects produced by music are thus summarized: An in fuence on the circulation of blood is mo- ticed, the pressure sometimes rising and sometimes falling, though the action of musical tones and pipes both on animals and men expresses itself for the most part by increased frequency of the beats of the heart; the variations in the cir culation consequent upon musical sounds coincide with changes in the breathing, though they may also be ob- served quite Independently of it; the variations in the blood pressure are de- pendent on the pitch and loudness of the sound and on tone color; in these variations of the blood pressure also the peculiarities of the individuals, whether men or lower animals, are plainly ap- parent, and even nationality, in the case of man, is claimed to exhibit some eff fect.-New York Tribune.

JOHN FREEMAN CONCLUDES HIS STORY.
 My story is nearly ended. Next day Ned and Mir. Watkins and myself de- scended into the Devils Parlor." We took with us a rock drill, blasting pow der, 8 fuse and po1tmanteau. The reader will probably guess our purpose. It was to break open the tomb of old Curry and appropriate his treasures. I may have had some fear of the ghost, but not enough to prevent me from ri- fling his tomb. We bored, charged and blasted into fragments the big stone which debarred entrance to the little nook where his ashes lay, thereby de- stroying, as I have been since told, what was perhaps an important archa- ological relic. The fragments, however. are no doubt there still, waiting for the Royal Irish academy or some other learned body to appropriate them. Rushing back as soon as the explosion was over, we discovered by the light of our candles behind the place where the slab stood broken earthen pot and great quantity of ashes and charred bones. Mingled with these we only found certain metal work-a few of SOlu, DuG tu0 SISdIeA poAb OA 6AAFeI anu bronze-all much defaced and injured seemingly by the action of fire, but on each side of the heap of bones, ashes and metal work we found two smaller vases unbroken and filled each of them to brim with many rings of gold. There was a third broken, but evidently charged in the same manner, for the rings lay about in heap mingled with sherds. This crock was placed oppo- site the pot containing the ashes. The rock behind the latter. pot had been planed or chiseled to a flat surface, and upon this were certain marks, but nothing in the nature of writing. All the gold and metal work we tumIled into the portmanteau, locked it and con- veyed it to the entrance. My seals W re not in evidence this day. Before leav- ing the cave on Christmas eve had re- leased Scamp and given him final kiss. How long my seals continued to haunt the cave cannot tell. They for got me, dare say, sooner than could forget them. Though it is now 40 years since the occurrences which have de- scribed, believe I would rather shoot man than seal. l sold moat Of my

 of about two feet of sheep gut between the bladder and his leg. We now dis missed No Good and proceeded to carry our other purpose into execution. There was now no necessity for repeating that toilsome operation by which Jack had formerly kindled fire in his parlor if it were possible, for indeed he had ex- haustcd his materials. 1 had m my pockets some lucifer matches. Two or three of these we selected, and binding them up tightly in Jacks purse we stripped and took to the water, Jack go- ing first. Waiting for few minutes till he should be quite clear of the tun- nel, followed. not indeed without un- pleasant qualms, for it was an ugly business, and though 1 could swim and dive as well as my brother 1 was not at all so brave, stout hearted and deter mined as he was. Indeed 1 have never net any one so fearless as he was. On this occasion my heart failed me, and after groping in the cave for few sec onds 1 came out again as l had gone in. Then I said to myself, If l do not get through soon, Jack, suspecting some ac- cident, will return, and we may meet in the tunnel with disastrous conse- quences. Making up my mind fully to get through this time, dived again and was quite surprised to find how easy the business really was. I came up, of course, in dense darkness and shouted, "All rightr' I heard some one cry: Swim this way. will lend you a hand" Soon I was helped onto the rocky shore, and when we had collected some timber and dried our hands we struck the matches and lit fire. When I, for my own part, had sated my curios- ity by exploring the parlor, we both set to work upon the great beam and began to cut from it such a length as we thought we could roll into the water, and found it, as Jack had predicted, very slow work indeed. In spite of the fire at which we repeatedly warmed ourselves, we soon grew cold. This won't do at all. ." Jack said. If we are to do good days work here, we must swim in with our clothes on, dry them at the fire, then dress ourselves and work comfortably" We returned as we came, dressed ourselves, dived again through the tunnel, and after drying our clothes and putting them on worked with our knives at the beem for the rest of that day. We then covered up the embels in ashes, returned to the big cave and dined. That night we determined to quite shift our quarters, at least for the present, and to remove some of our food into the parlor. This we did next day. taking with us good deal of mutton and bread. We brought through the bread easily enough-viz, by making bag with the sheeps skin and tying it up so tightly as to be quite waterproof. On the previous day we had been rather surprised to find that the seals seemed quite as fond of our society in our new quarters as in the old. There were one or two of them sporting in the dark water beside us all day as we worked. Though Jack, using all his most effective ges- lures and phrases, continued to impress upon them that they should get us fish, they did not do so. Our new and strange condition and the absence, I suppose, of Scamp from the scene hed interrupted

 Next morning in fine spirits we both rose early and after breakfast commenc- ed rolling such powders as we could set in motion in the direction of Cur rvs Window. We worked hard till dinner and went at the work again shortly afterward, not desisting till we were hardly able to stir from fatigue. At supper Jack said: II fear, Ned, that our task is a bigger one than l antici- pated. We have now got to Curry's Window nearly all the powders that you and 1 together can remove" l poohpoohed Jacks low spirited view of the situation. 1 was SO delighted with the novelty of everything I could not even for a moment harbor such thoughts. That we two could not al most as soon as we chose climb out at Curry's Window or in some other way escape triumphantly out of our prison utterly refused to believe. If it were Tot for the sorrow of our people at home, which I knew must be great and heart breaking, I would have been as happy as any one uld be- It was all so like what might be read in famous boys story book, and yet it was all true. Here we were both imm 1red in our vast cavern, amid strange echoes and rever- berations, in a huge darkness faintly lit by the light of our fire, with our seals, like Ehjah's ravens, bringing us food. It was all so strange and interesting. At first I was obliged to keep we'll out of view of the seals, who after the first alarm gradually became accustomed to my presence, though it was several days before I ventured to show myself, and it was then only by slow degrees that l could get them to tolerate me. They were very susceptible to music. saw from their motions that they liked my whistling better. Jack was displeased at this, or thought he was, so forbore and took every opportunity of alluding to the extraordinary affection which sub

A highly respectable and widely re- spected clergyman living in country parish not far from Boston received communication from New York house dealing in wines and liquors not long ago, saying that they would be very glad to furnish him with anything he needed in their line, and as an induce ment for his patronage added that they were aware that the arrival in a coun- try place of wines and liquors for the use of the clergyman was apt to create comment, if not scandal.

need. 1t is admitted that no ordinary SUBJ
urban road could afford the expenditure of
the cost of a suitable structure-estimated
to be about $200. OO0-but q division Of the
cost would tighten the burden very ma
terially. Some time ago It was understood
that sufficient track facilities could be pro-
vided on the present piers and alongside
the bridge now used by the public without
in any way lessening the existing accom-
modations. That proposition seems to have
been abandoned entirely and it is now an
nounced as the policy of those who would
be careful first Of the railroad interests
that part Of the existing bridge be taken
away from the people and presented to the
railways. To the use Of the bridge piers,
under proper conditions, there might be no
very strenuous objection, II the rights of
pedestrians and drivers of vehicles were
respected. but any abridgment of the pub
lies right and any outright gift of the pub
lies property, such as that which turned
over the Long Bridge to the Pennsylvania
railroad. would be resented by a great ma
jority of the people. The benefits to the
capital Of suburban development in Virginia
are great. and facilities for crossing the
Potomac at or near Georgetown must and
will be soon secured by the rapid transit
companies which are to create this develop
ment, but it Is easy for the city to overdo
