1N rrEorRrCAn MYSTERY.

Nicola Tesla. who knows more abou
 electricity than anybody else, except l ing, perhaps, Edison, has expressed g doubt that there is any such thing as l electricity. But there Is no doubt that whatever that which Is called electricity 1 Is 1t is mysterious in It's quality and action. And how mysterious 1t is is only just beginning to be understood.
 For instance, it has been supposed that
 person killed by electricity Is dead, but now 1t appears to be doubtful.
 The experience of Frank E. Grover,
 foreman of the Rochester Gag and Elec-
 tric company, will give strong support
 to theory which has lately been put
 forth, and which has a very import
 ant bearing on the execution of crim-
 inals by electricity, While at work last
 Thursday Grover in some way came
 in contact with dynamo and received
 a shock of 5000 volts of electricity.
 He fell to the floor, apparently as
 dead as anybody could be. But the
 workmen around him had heard of the
 theory that very heavy currents of electricity sometimes produce only un- consciousness, and that death does not necessarily follow if proper means of resuscitation are applied. So they pro- eeeded to apply the D'Arsonval method of artificial respiration. This consists of raising and lowering the arms in rhythm and at the same time alternate ly pressing and releasing the chest. They kept at this for seventy-fve min utes and were rewarded by the re- turn of life to the man, who is now weak, but on his way to full recovery. When the doctor who was called saw him quarters of an hour after the accident no respiration and no heart l action could be detected.
 This very remarkable incident will | call attention sharply to the claim that has been put forth that it is un- certain that the murderers who have been put in the electric chair in New York have been killed by electricity Of course they are dead by this time, put the question is, were they killed by he electric shock?

CONTEMPLATION.

Rev. MT. Mason aud His Critics.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER,
 Last Wednesday the Ansonia Sentinel severely criticised the Rev. MT. Mason. Your correspondent happened to see that particular editorial in Wednesday evenings issue of the Sentinel It was followed immediately by another editor- ial equally vigorous in favor of "the Corrupt Practice BilI' now before the legislature, and bristled with charges and insinuations of venality and politi- ical corruption against the voters and the officials of this old commonwealth generally. The two editorials, follow ing each other as they did like two shots from popgun, made a very pe- culiar impression on your correspondent They suggested, among other things, this pertinent question: Is it fair and proper to publish such charges and in- mutations of venallty against the peo- pie of this State? If it is, 1t must be equally fair and proper to treat officials in the same way. For it is self-evident that there are greater opportunities and stronger motives for the official than there are for the unofficial in this com

 several tips at the side, 0 spray of hy- drangeas in back and loops of black ribbon in the indentations at the sides. A delicately pfetty boa is shown in this picture, too, and is made of ohif- fon with an end of ribbon hanging at each side that is fastened to boa by small punches of hydrangeas with fo- liage. It is thus made to harmonize with the hat above 1t, which Is one of the summer girls new wiles.
 For general wear comes a little hat that is happy blend of the simple sailor and the elaborated picture hat. This design is a wide brimmed rough straw of the sailor order, but with q crown not so high. It comes in white blue, brown, black and heather mix lures, It is trimmed about with loose wreath of mixed flowers so thick that It entirely fills the brim to the edge and the crown barely shows above. All small flowers are used massed In close ly placed punches. Such hat is pretty with any sort and color of gown, and they are much seen with street dresses' worn in town and with simple garden costumes
 Lace straw as soft as silk is woven into pretty tam shapes and set on band of white ribbon, a bunch of vlolets and a perky cockade of short plumes completing it. Sometimes the lace straw is lined beneath with silk to make hat and costume harmonize. Tn that connection it may be stated that hats are never planned to match a dress, but the best taste nevertheless dictates that the hat should harmonlze with the gown worn. FLORETTE,

Doctors in Delaware are much pug zled to account for remarkable tempo rary restoration to activity of man who had been bedridden for seventeen years The man was William Reynolds of Thoroughfare Neck, Delaware, who died last Friday. He had been con- fined to his bed for seventeen years with spinal disease. Three days before his death he told his wife that God would permit him to walk once again before he died, and, to her utter amaze ment, he got out of bed forthwith, put on some clothing, and walked down stairs and into the garden unassisted. He remained in the garden half an hour, returned to the house and sat in the kitchen for half an hour and then walked up stairs and went back to bed, from which he never rose again. He had been an utterly helpless cripple

Hats and Gowns No Longer Match.
 The fashions have played a funny trick on the little cooked hats now much worn, and the present sort looks as if the wearer had pulled the new moon out of the sky and set 1t astride of her bangs, This is especially ap- parent if the straw is bright yellow, but these hats are both becoming and jaunty. A less freakish development of the cooked hat is pictured here, in black straw shaped perfectly straight across the back and bent into 4ree corners in front, one in the center and one on

The profit to the State of South Caro- lima from liquor sales at the dispensa- rles, from July, 1S93 to April 30, 1895, was $16O,2S7, according to the report of committee of the legislature This period includes several months when the dispensaries were closed because of a decision of the State supreme court that the law establishing them was un- constitutional. The law was amended, and a packed court afterward sustain ed it's validity, and since then the profits have been piling up and indicate a net gain ofaabout $25OOoO for the current year. It is still an open question how much has been accomplished under this law by way of reducing the eonsump- tion of intoxicating liquors in South Carolina or in diminishing drunken ness.

According to a medical correspondent of the Kaspi the Kalmychs in Astrak- han are gradually dying out. This medical authority is unable to. explain the cause beyond the fact that some mysterious mental affection appears to be affecting the Kalmychs. The asy- ylums and hospitals are continually filled with these partially insane people, and the mortality is so great that very soon there probably win not be a Kalmych left in Astrakhan.
