AN ExrRAvAGANT YOUNG MAN.

One of New York's swell young
bloods, Charles Osburn, a brother
ot the celebrated Howell Osborn,
has been on the stand in one of the
courts to answer for some of mis-
debts. He has occupied the same
position on previous occasions.
In response to questions as to his
mode of living he frankl y and cheer
lily answered that he squandered
about 100000 a year, that he spent
that much last year, and that the
amount would be about the same
this year, He said he contributed
nothing to he expenses of his fami>
ly, but his wife, who moved in the
highest society, managed that out of
an income of between $4,000 and
$4,000, although by his own state
ment his family, consisting of wife
and several children, cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 year. He has
now run so far beyond the hand
some allowance from his mothers
estate that he gets his ready money
by borrowing small sums from his
friends. He talked freely on the
stand of the sums he had lavished
on his friends, ON women, wine and
horses. He maintained a separate
establishment, illustrating in real
life the character OF DR.. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde, at an annual expense of
about $4,000. The young man was
excessively but unconcernedly frank
in reciting his extravagances, and
had no sense of shame for his career.

A most wonderful automaton ha,

A most wonderful automaton has
recently been privately exhibited in
Paris by rich old gentleman who
has an inordinate taste for mechani-
cal toys. The group represents a
family OF seven kittens, life sized,
and covered with real skin and with
eyes Of emerald set in pearly enamel.
The group are each engaged in play
ing upon some sort of a musical IN
strument-a flute, a either, violin,
a drum, harp, horn, a cornet
and an accordion. All these instru-
ments perfectly harmonic, and upon
them the mechanical kittens play
all kinds of music, including difficult
operas. The mechanism is said TO
be similar to that of a music box.
The automaton cost $4,000 francs
in Persia.

NOT HIS SON.

George II. Barbour, who was sup.
posed to have been murdered near
Pana, Ills, turns out to be alive.
The body found naked near the rail

While be was speaking, the boy
who was supposed to have been
murdered, walked into the place.

A merchant of Gowanda has invented
n most remarkable apparatus Tor saving
stocks Of goods from fire. Instead OF
putting out the fire the apparatus opens
the front Of the store. and the counters,
cases. and shelving roll out into the street

The shelving and counters In the store
are all portable ana mounted on rollers.
Attached 70 the rear end o.. the shelving
is cable which runs forward ana over a
wheel below the floor I'm the front Of the

pended weights sufficiently heavy TO
oyerbalance the shelving. cases. and goods

weights from setting the machine going.
Attached 10 the lever OF the brake is a
combustibie cord which passes upward

USEFUL Eft DiNGEROT-S.
\ Drug That is Sometimes Employed in
Cases Of spasInodic Cfonp.

Nitrate Of amyl the drug Of which
New Yorker named Brooks is supposed TO
have died, has been successfully used Of
i-te years IN IN, treatment OF spasmodIc
Group. Children seldom die OF this dis
ease save when its long continuance
causes extreme exhaustion. IT is. how
ever, an alarming disease in its gravest
manifestations. as the little patient gasps
painfully for breath, becomes asTien in
complexion and blue at the lips. This
last symptom is due 10 the fact that there
is not sufficient air in the lungs to purify
the blood, and sort OF carDonic acid IS
superinduced. This very fact. however
brings relief, for the poison in the blood
causes the muscles that are closing the
windp.pe to relax. the child breathcs
again, the color becomes more nearly nor
nal, and there Is comparative ease for
the patient until the next spasm comes.
\ strong child will endure for many hours
this alienation of choking spasms and
relief by reason of the condition Of the
blood superinduced by the spasm. but
weak child may succumb TO exhaustion,
and the disease is wearing to all.
Here lies the value of nitric OF amyl.
1t has the property of supefinducins at

muscles necessary for the relief of the
patient For use in such cases and in
other diseases nitric of amyl is put up,
few drops together. in tiny pear-shaped
glass globules, and the remedy thus pre-
pared is called pearls Of amyl nitric
The pearls look much like the scientific
toy called Prince Ruperts drops, and
like the drops they SILVER into pulverze &
glass when their tiny tails are broken
of. When the croupy child is seemingly
on the verge Of suffocation. one of the
pearls of amyl nitric is broken in a
handkerchief and the fumes OF the vola-
tile liquid are permitted for an instant
TO enter the childs nose and mouth. In
slant relief usually follows. and the child
is saved from the extreme exhaustion
that comes Of waiting until nature has
stepped in to relieve the spasm.
AmyI nitric is recognized as danger

pearls warn parents not to use them save
with the advice of a physician. Some
physicians. however, instruct intelligent
