THE FORGOTTEN PARCEL.

ehcie Gurdon Turned Around mud
Went Dnck After It.
From the Boston Herald
Near one of our Atlantic cities. soma
years ago, resided an old whaling captain
commonly known as Uncle Gurdon. As
occasion required, Uncle Gurdon and his
WIFE would journey downward for the pur-
pose OF shopping. Reaching the city, tho
horse and wagon would be left at the wa
Ter trough on the Parade. and each would
go In different directions carrying their
bundles to this common receptacle tbs
first through waiting for the other.
On one of these shopping excursions
ohcle Gurdon made several trips to the
wagon, finding each time that additions
a sign that his wife was busy. Having
completed his purchases, he unhitched his
horse, and the ferry boat having arrived.
Climbed into the wagon and drove on board.
WINE crossing the river, one of his ac-
quaintances stepped up and asked how
he was getting on.
Well said the old man. 'T am getting
on nicely, but I'm bothered tust now"
Why. has anything gone wrong?"

anu 'he poat having reached the landing,
Uncle Gurdon drove ashore and went on
toward home. When nearly half way
there he was met by another friend who
stopped to have a chat.
How do you do today, Uncle Gurdon?'
he asked.
oh. nicely. nicely; though 1 am a bit
worried Just now"
Worried? What about?"
Well. you see. I've been to town shop
ping, and there's a parcel of some kind
that I've forgotten. l can't think what IL

"Oh. never mind it! You will recollect

done during the hot months requires an
increase in passenger trains, and an en-
tirely new schedule for departures and
arriy ais OF trains.
The formulating of time tables or sched-
ules has, of necessity. become a fine art,
as the multiplicity Of trains requires the
closest calculations, taking in change of
time, speed and country traversed, from,
say, New York to Chicago, or to Wash
fngton. The mere matter of locking over
distance map and saying that is forty
miles; We'll give the passenger trains an
hour and the freights an hour and forty
five minutes to cover the distance would
never do. There are dozen reasons why
this could not be done. For instance, a
road running through a mountainous region
cannot make the time scored by one that
traverses level ground. The arrangements
for the passenger service while complicat-
ed, does not embrace as many krotty prob
lens developed in handling the numerous
freight trains passing over the roads day
and night. Is
Cities and towns object to high rate of
speed within their borders, which also
calls for calculations. atfact that will be
substantiated by the officers of the two
roads running into this city, both of which
have to deal with this problem through
the states of Maryland, Delaware, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. This running
through towns and cities at greatly reduc.
ed speed has brought forward two kinds
OF designations for the time made, that
is, inside and outside time. A train may
rake eighty miles an hour, but in a long
run it will be fast train indeed if it aver.
ages over forty miles an hour for the en-
tire distance.

Suspicion At once fell upon Carpenter, and his arrest fol- lowed.
 At the coroner's inquest sufficient evi- denoe was adducod to connect him moro closely with tho crimo and he was locked up Whom Warden Walton went to his cell Sunday morning he found Carpenter lying In pool of blood on tho floor of his coll with his throat cut from ear to oar. By his side was razor, which he had borrowed from Patrick Morgan. a fellow prisoner, upon the prctext that he wanted to shave himself.
 Morgan, who occupies the same coll. says that as soon as Carpenter obtained possession of the razor he turned to him and said, "I am innocent of the murder of Mrs Blackwell and want you to toll ey. erybody I said SO"
 Then he drew tho razor across his throat and fell beforc Morgan's very eyes The latter was too horror strioken to give an alarm and sat looking at the apparently dying man until tho warden oaina Car penter had In the meantime become un- conscious and has not yet boon revived. An examination of his wound shows that mono of tho arteries has becn severed, bus he lost so much blood that his recovery is doubtful

In order to satisfy scientific men as to the real cause of Professor Helmholtz's 6 death, says the London Telegraph's Ser lin correspondent, a post mortem exam ination was made at the desire of his relatives, the chief results of which are as follows: AS a consequence of the par alytio strokes the left portion of the brain was considerably softened, while the right portion was perfectly normal and sound. The brain displayed unusu- ally numerous cerebral situations, such as are known to be generally observed in the brains of persons of very great intellect. The physicians and patholo- gists who conducted the examination were extremely interested in what they saw, and cast of the brain wa. immediately taken. Other organs ot the body showed some signs of disorder, but in his lifetime the deceased had not experienced any inconvenience there from

The influence of diet on the growth of hair has often been discussed. It has been shown that starchy mixtures. milk and many other foods recognized as be- ing highly nutritious are, in fact, sure death to hair growth. Chemical andy. sis proves that the hair is composed of 5 per cent of sulphur, and its ash of 90 per cent of silicon and 10 per cent of iron and manganese. The foods which contain the larger per cent of the above named clements are meat, oatmeal and graham. Henry pointedly says, "Na- tions which eat most meat have the most hair.

WRITING LESSONS IN JAPAN.
The Instructor Must Not Speak to His Princely Pupils.


 Princeiy Pupils.
 Ono of the most remarkable occurrences one meets in Japan is the instruction in chirography given to a dnimio, member of the Japanese military nobility.
 @ Tho writing teacher, who is called a professor thcro as well as herc prepares the copies in secret, so they can bo used only for tho little prince in question. A swarm of maids is busy waiting on tho daimio, fetching and preparing what pu. pill and teacher noed At tho appointed hour tho professor makes his appearance. Without saying a word, and with the most funereal countennnco ho approaches his pupil. A white napkin covers his mouth, so that his breath cannot offend the little prsnce. The Japanese arc very sensitive In this regard After exhnusting every possible form of silent greeting tho professor sits down, rules the paper and begins the instruction. When tho daimio has soribbled over several of the lines, it Is the duty of the teoeher to go Into rap tures over the wonderful talent of the youngster. Tonrs of joy must fill his eyes, but all must be done in silence; not n word must be spoken to tho daiInio. All the professor Is permitted to do is to call tho head maid, commissioning her to cx. press in proper language his most devoted admiration. Louis Dispatch.
