savages who Believe in Ghosts.

1t Is believed by the Australian abo,
rhymes that every person over four or
five years of age has spirit or ghost
in regular attendance which, although
dormant through life, assumes a visible
but underlined form after death. A
recent contributor to Belgravia tells
good deal about the elaboration of this
uncanny belief For instance: For
time the ghost haunts the spot where
n corpse is inferred or placed in a tree.
1t is considered to be harmless, yet is
regarded with fear. 1t is said to be
seen sitting on the grave or near the
body; but 1t sinks into the ground or
disappears if any one approaches. AS
the friends of the deceased are unwill-
ing to go near the place, 1t is seldom
seen and never examined. The abo-
ligines believe every adult has a wrath
or likeness of himself, which is not
visible to any one else, and visible to
him only before his premature death.
Should he see this wrath, it so preys
on his mind that he falls into low spir-
its, and the result he breads some
times comes to pass. After the dis
pOsal of the body of good person it's
shade walks about for three days, al
though it may appear to persons, it
holds no communication with them.
Should it be seen and named by any
one during these three days it instant
~ disappears. At the end of three
days it goes off to beautiful country
above the clouds, abounding with
kangaroo and other game, where life
will be enjoyed forever. Friends win
meet and recognize each other there;
but there will be no marrying, as the
bodies have been left on earth. Chill
dren under four or five years of age
have no souls and no future life. The
shades of the wicked wander miser-
ably about the earth for one year after
death, frightening people, and then de-
scend to Ummebullun, never to return.

In 147S Mahomet H., in prosecuting
the siege Of Scutari, in Albani, EN-
ployed fourteen heavy bombards, the
lightest of which threw a stone shot
Of 375 pounds weight, two sent shots
of 500 pounds, one of $50 pounds, two
of $50 pounds, one of 1,200 pounds,
five 1,500, and one of the enormous
weight of 1,640 pounds, enormous even
in these days, for the only guns whose
shots exceed the heaviest of these are
our S0-ton guns, throwing a 1,700-pound
projectile, our 100-ton, throwing one of
1000 pounds, and the 110-ton, throw
ing an 1,S00-pound shot with a high
velocity.
The stone shot of Mahomets guns
varied between twenty and thirty-two
inches in diameter, about the height of
n dining g-table-2, ,534 of them fired on
this occasion weighing, according to
a calculation of Gen. Lefroy's, about
1000 tons-and were cut out of the
solid rock on the spot.
Assuming twenty-four inches as the
average diameter of the shot fired at
the siege, the total area of the surface
dressed was nearly $4,000 square feet.
At this siege the weight of the powder
fired is estimated by Gen. LEROY to
have been $50 tons. At the siege of
Rhodes, in 1850, Mahomet caused six
teen basilisks, or double cannon, to be
cast on the spot, throwing balls two or
three feet In diameter.

She was pretty shrewd woman, and
she had heard her husband complain
at different times about the increasing
burdens from his growing correspond

get typewriter, both the machine and
the girl, and as he has an eye for
beauty, and likes a pretty face, she
formed her own plans
What do you have to pay girl?'
she asked.
AS he was reading the evening paper,
in an absent-minded way he said: "Oh.
you can get n real pretty girl for $40
or $12 a week"
He had given it all way, but she kept
her counsel until he said he had bought
the machine and would advertise for
n girl.
"Oh, no need to do that" she said !;
Il have girl engaged for you, and
she is said to be the quickest and best
shorthand girl in town." So she had
and the next day the hubby was thun-
derstruck and all broken up when he
saw the ancient piece of bric-a-brac
with side curls that his wife brought
in the next morning. She was a bird
for LONELINESS, would stop clocks, turn
switches and freeze ice.
And now that wife laughs in her

ness. She thinks Charley's correspond
ence will drop off pretty soon, so that
he won't need any assistance.-Cin-

What Is EIectricity?

Prof. Calico Ferraris, the genial
italian scientist, whose name is known
to all electricians, was recently asked
what electricity was, but, unlike most
others when asked that question, he
ventured to answer it, and, according
to Cosmos, he wrote In French in her
autograph book the following, of which
we venture to give translation, even
though the English language hardly
does justice to the original in French
Maxwell has demonstrated that
luminous vibration can be nothing else
than periodic variations of electro
magnetic forces. Herts, in proving by
experiments that electromagnetic os-
citations are propagated like light, has
given an experimental basis to the the
ory of Maxwell. This gave birth to the
idea that the luminiferous ether and
the seat of electric and magnetic
forces are one and the same thing.
This being established, 1 can now,
my dear young lady, reply to the ques-
ton that you put to me: What is cleo
tricityT
1T is not only the formidable agent
which now and then skaters and tears
the atmosphere, terrifying you with
its thunder, but 1t is also the life-giv-
ing agent which sends from heaven
to earth, with the light and the heat
the magic of colors and the breath of
life. 1t Is that which makes your
heart beat to the palpitations of the
outside world; it Is that which has the
power to transmit to your soul the
enchantment of look and the grace
of a smile"

There have been many operations
and applications recommended for the
removal of tattoo marks, but most of
them are either very painful or en-
tirely unsuccessful in achieving the re-
suit desired. A new procedure is rec
ommended by Paschkis, who would
remove the tattoolng or pigmentation
of the skin by sort of counter tat
tooing. The remover used by him has
been balyta white, stained to the color
of the surrounding skin by the proper
admiXture of browns and reds. An
artist with good eye for colors would
be successful in this operation.
Another method involves a new prin-
ciple viz, the digestion of the sub
cutaneous pigments by papoid. The
tattooed part is well washed with soap
and water, n bunch of six or eight
cambric needles bound together with
silk thread Is dipped In glycerole of
papoid and driven with q sharp blow
into the tattoOed part. This Is repeat
ed over the entire stain and must be
thorough to be effective, and n pecu-
llarity of the method is said to be that
1t causes no inhammatory reaction.
The digestive principle of the papoid
is disseminated about the deposit of
pigment, thus liberatng it, a portion is
absorbed in finely divided state by
the lymphatlcs, another part probably
finds its way into the upper layers of
the epidermis, and close to the surface
and in this manner the pigment dis
appears.

eoReIA AND MAcoHIAveLLI.
The Man of Blood Defended by the
Crafty Statesman.

Caesar Borga was bold, ambitious,
crafty, able, handsome and remark
able for his physical strength. But he
was as false and cruel as his father.
He early formed large schemes for the
extension of his domains, and his plans
he might have carried out had he not
been arrested at a critical moment by
the death of the Pope and his own
illness.
He had, indeed, foreseen the death
of his father, and so arranged matters
as to establish the State of Romagna
and overcome his enemies, notwith-
standing such event. But he had not
forcseen his own illness, which in
capacitated him from all action. He
told me himself" says Macchlavelli,
that he had anticipated everything,
and had provided for everything, save
for being sick unto death at the time
of the Popes decease."
In Macchiavellis own treatise on
"The Prince Caesar Borgia was his
model and hero, and all that can be
suggested in justification of his char
acter and conduct may there be read.
But It must be confessed that Mac
chiavelli's own principles of life and
conduct, as therein set forth, are not
of a high moral cast, and in that re-
markable book he uphOlds, or seems to
uphold, acts of cruelty and bad faith
which are ordinarily considered to
have the stain of dishonor.
Experience" he says, "has proved
in our own times that the Princes who
have achieved great deeds are those
who have held good faith of small ac-
count, have known how to bewllder
mems brains by cunning, and have sue
ceeded better than those whose actions
have been ruled by honor"
And in another passage he says of
Caesar Borgia: Putting together all
the actions of the Duke, l could not
blame him. On the contrary, 1t seems
good to me to propose him, as an ex-
ample to be initiated by all who
through good fortune and the arms of
others have attained to supreme COM
mand." To which statements we can
only hold up our hands in surprise

CARRYlNG THE PuRse.
a Problem which IL Seriously Tror bling
the FAR gpx.


'"Ilow and where shall carry my
rioncy?" Is an important question TO u
woman who has had her pockets
picked twice within q week Cace her
purse was III tie chatelaine bag, sus-
pended from hcr belt, and Which she
found yawniny and empty upon rcnch-
ing homo. "And the clasp t. tllt bag
was ono | often had TO WORK over TO
desperation myself" she remarked
plaintively. at bothered me dread
fully when | was in Il hurry, but that
very fact gave me sense of security"
The second time her pocket--onc of
those un-got-at-ablo pockets, too, IN
the rear region, whore its unhappy
posscssor is forced to sit upon It's con
tents was ignominiously turned
wrong side out. She tried carrying her
purse in her hand, and an elderly man,
with n benevolent face, stopped her
and said: Pardon me, madam but
feel constrained to tell you that have
just seen lady's purse snatchcd out Of
| her hand and the thief escape with it."
The next time She sailed forth her
money was pinned securely inside her
| dress waist. When she had selected
| certain purchases she told the clerk she
would return soon and pay for them,
! and proceeded to the ladies' dressing
room, where there were eight other
women engaged in extricating money
from similar places of security and one
deftly removing garter and turning
down her shapely hosiery. These
methods are pretty safe, but decidedly
inconvenient, especially when one has
| purchases to make at different places.
Some women have adopted the separ-
ate pocket tied around the waist, un-
der the dress skirt, but this, of course,
necessitates raising the skirt TO reach
the pocket, and not infrequently, by
some method best known to them
selves, thieves manage TO rifle them or
| remove them altogether. 1t really
| seems as if till some as yet untried
method of carrying it is devised women
must depend more upon good fortune
than any better security for the con-
| tinued possession of the little article
whose purloiner is said to steal trash,
but which is nevertheless trash of Il
kind which commends itself strongly
and almost universally to poor human
nature.-Philadelp Press.

Among the latest inventions is an
electrical thief photographing process,
by which any one who attempts to
open drawer, or box, or room where
he has no business, will get himself
photographed for his pains without his
knowledge, so that he may be after
wards identified. A tobacconst of
Toledo, o., had repeatedly missed
cigars from his showcase without be-
ing able to discover the thief. Hence
he applied to an electrician to give
him an apparatus which would take Il
portrait of any one going to that case
An electromagnetic was so fastened TO
q match as to strike it against rough
surface whenever the electric circuit
was completed and by the light of the
match an instantaneous photograph
was taken, and Immediately the shut
ter closed on the camera. On eXami-
nation after the next disappearance
Of cigars, the portrait of two boys was
discovered, and they were apprehcnd-
ed and sent to prison for the theft
Such an arrangement for photograph
ing burglars without their knowledge
[ that could be managed-would soon
make burglary too hot even for the
most astute professionals.
