HABITS OF SOME PRESIDENTS.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1894-05-09
Frightened to Death.

There are several we'll authenticated
cases where fright was the cause of
death. An English surgeon tells of
drummer in India across whose legs a
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
for his nerves and he died.
Frederick l. of Prussia was killed
by fea-. His wife was insane, and
one day she escaped from her keeper,
and, dabbling her clothes with blood,
rushed upon her husband while he was
doing in his chair. King Frederick
imagined her to be the white lady,
whose ghost was believed to invaria-
bly, appear whenever the death of
member of the royal family was to oc-
cur, and he was thrown into a fever
and died in six weeks.
But perhaps the most remarkable
death from fear was that of the Dutch
painter Pentman, who lived in the
seventeenth century. One day he
went into room full of anatomical
subjects to sketch some skulls and
bones for a picture he intended TO
paint. The weather was very sultry,
and while sketching he fell asleep. He
was aroused by bones dancing around
him, and the skeletons suspended
from the ceiling clashed together. In
fit of horror he threw himself out of
the window. Though he sustained no
serious injury, and was informed that
slight earthquake had caused the
commotion among the ghostly sur
rcundings, he died of nervous tremer.

Early London Streets.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, when a London street was
newly formed, its name and date were
frequently recorded on tablet built
into the wall of corner house. The
houses themselves were also sometimes
distinguished by initials, names or
dates, either placed like the street
tablets or on rain pipe or inside the
building.
Some of these relics still survive,
but there is constant danger of their
destruction, for every year many old
houses are leveled with the ground,
and streets, once important, cease to
exist, are merged in other streets, or
lose their importance by being re-
named. London Notes and Queries.

The Delicious Maraeujas.

seen them till the other night, when
/ was dining out, and noticed what Mt

on the dish beneath glorious bunches

found that maracuja was another
name for the fruit of the passion
flower, and as soon as l had been told
this l recollected that even in England
the shape and color of our own
passion flower fruit is exactly similar,
though it becomes no larger than Il
good-sized damson. Those to which
| was introduced the other evening
came from Jamaica and the south OF
Madeira, and were obtained at a West
End fruiterer's. 1t requires a little
pluck to eat them, as the interior is
rather a shock.
The fruit is like collection Of
dark gray seeds in silver-colored
gelatinous syrup, and does not look
appetizing, but the flavor is delicious,
resembling most beautiful hothouse
melon. III maracujas were better

ewes grew wistful. 1t was the road
which led to the mansion among the
trees.
AS he stood there he saw a carriage
approaching. Driving his team to one
side he waited; but the carriage stopped
as it came opposite.
"Does Squire Burke still live at the
old placer" man asked.
"No;" he left many years ago.
Atthe sound of the voice the stranger
started and glanced at the old man
sharply. Then he sprang from the
carriage. But as he drew near he
paused and bowed his head, like man
waiting sentence.
Orchard ~ The Squire tried to keep
his voice steady; but it broke as the
young man sprang forward and caught
him in his arms.
After few moments they stood back
and looked at each other.
"Where have you been all these
years, Richard?" the old man asked.
"What have you been doing?"
'In South Misunderstanding After
you-disowned me 1 wandered about
the country for some weeks and then

thought that if could make you be-

The Squire raised his hand deprecat-
ingly.
"Don't, Richard changed it many
years ago. 1 was harsh-cruel-un-
just !"
"No!" in eager protest. Then, for
the first time, he seemed to notice the
Squire's garments. From them his
eyes wandered TO the oxen.
"Surely you are not so-so"-
"Poor? Yes; 1 have been on the
town farm nearly ten years. Twas i'll,
and could get no employment. There
was nothing else. "
The young mans face whitened.
Stepping quickly to the carriage he
said something in a low tone to the
driver. Then he returned and tosk
the whip from his fathers grasp.
81 will drive the team," he said.
"The carriage will come for us in an
hour and take MS to the hotel. To-
morrow we will see the owner of the
old place and buy it back. But you
are cold! !"
Removing his overcoat, he threw il
around the shivering form; then he
took off his gloves and forced them on
the toil-worn hands.
The old mans eyes glistened. As his
gaze wandered across the fields to
where the paupers were at work he
said, eagerly:
''There is one thing we must get.
even before we buy the old place" "
''What is it, father?"

Some queer stories are told by the
Chicago Herald about the United
States cruiser Charleston. The plans
were purchased in England and now it
turns out that they were a very sorry
lot of drawings. Not only that, but
the machinery plans were so defective
that the entire scheme ofmotive power
for the ship had to be remodelled.
The English plans were practically OF
no account and hence the charge that
the Charleston is ship of English de-
sign is absolutely without foundation.

A correspondent of the American
Dairyman asks for the ANIMAL value
of the agricultural products of the
country. The question is one of the
most difficult to answer. The census
of 1890 does not do it satisfactorily,
and since that date the aggregate
value of farm production has steadily
increased. President Harrison, in one
of his latest messages, estimated it at
"a, 500, 600, 900 annually. The present
Secretary of Agriculture, in his late
report, is silent on this point, although
he does say that there are six millions
of farms in the country on which
thirty millions of the population live.
Our opinion is that the Secretary's es-
innate of the number of farms exceed
by full million the actual figures. TO
answer our friends query, nothing
better than an approximate estimate
can be offered, and his own is about
as valuable as any other. The whole
thing is mere guesswork.

The cost of transportation has been
on the decline for the last ten OF
twelve years, and even for a much
longer period, remarks the Boston
Cultivator. The decline in rates per
ton / mile on all the railroads of
the count, has been from l. 236 cents
to .967 cents from 1882 to 1892. The
decline for this period was the least in
the middle and central northern
States, and the greatest in the South
Atlantic and Gulf States and the
northwestern States. The latter em-
braced the Granger systems. The re-
suit of these heavy declines has been
disastrous in many instances, being
more than the railroads could bear.
1t goes TO show, however, that the
cost of transportation is downward,
which is an important factor in the
cost of merchandise. Time and cost
per mile of transportation are great
agencies in equalizing prices in differ

A heavyse sea was running in the harbor.
Not less than 30 vessels dragged their
anchors or parted their cables and were
thrown upon the shore. Some OF them
were thrown ashore in every exposed
place, and the great sess breaking over
them soon pounded them to pieces. No
assistance could be rendered the ship
wrecked men from the shore. A num-
ber OF them who jumped overheard and
attempted to reach the shore by swim
ming were drowned, while others were
swept into the sea by the waves coming
over their vessels and were not seen
again.
The wrecked vessels were part OF the
fishing feet that had put into st. Pierre
from the banks to repair damages they
had sustained. Although there were
nearly 800 vessels at the port, not a
eingle one escaped without sustaining
damage.
