RELAX A LITTLE.
A Bit Of Amusement to Relieve the Tension
and Bouquets.

Attending strictly to business has thus
far been a characteristic of the present
Legislature. Moreover the past week has
been one that has taxed the energies of
all to the utmost And then it is proven
bal that the wisest men enjoy a bit Of
fun.
Friday morning there was placed on
the desk of Senator Hovey a beautiful
bouquet and by its side lay card, Hon.
+. w. Hovey, from the Ladies of Pitts
field" Just as the Senate, having COM
pleted it's work. was about to adjourn,
Senator Shaw addressed the Chair with
the remark that he wished to present out
of order bouquet to the President, and
there was smile when he caught up
Senator Hovey's and carried to the Presi-
dents desk
In the House, in the course of proceed
ings, when there was a lull for an instant.
a large bouquet of choice flowers was
brought in and placed upon Mr.. Hamlin's
desk. Presum ably it came from ladies
who wished to show their appreciation of
the interest he has manifested and pro-
poses to manifest in behalf of woman suff-
rage. Really it is said that two of the
gentleman's Ellsworth friends were re-
sponsible for this innocent diversion, and
in the midst of the applause, Hon. W.
r. Haines rose and said:
~ wish to say to the House that years
ago. when the black man of the South
was trying to be liberated and trying to
get equal rights with the white man, that
the State of Maine furnished one of the
great apostles of liberty who came for
ward. the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, an ad-
vocate of their cause. Today we have an
other question of emancipation before us;
and we have an illustrious son of a more
illustrious sire, whom it is understood by
the ladies will advocate their cause. For
some reason they have got this idea into
their heads. think it must have leaked
out from the judiciary committee, and
it is the reason why this beautiful bou-
ouet has been presented to our dis
tinguished member. (Applause)

Why not generate your power from oS.s

furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-

HOSTS; also furnish light and power fot
a radius of from IS to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced

Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power.

BODIES As MEDICINE.

That belief the Chinese have in the

to be IRA dicable, says the New York
Times Thinking that Europeans still
held the same ideas led as much as any
thing else TO the Tien-Tsin massacres OF
twenty-five years ago. Prehistoric man
drank from a human skull. believing
that the tncanny goblet had a certain
potency. Not so long ago the skull OF
a suicide was used in Caithness as a
drinking-Qup for the cure of epilepsy
Cases have been cited where supersti-
!ious people, within the last thirty years,
have dug up bodies so as TO possess
themselves of skulls for the same pur
pose. AS late as 1878 in the official phar-
macopoeia of London College % Physi-
clans mention is made of the skull of
man who had died a violent death"
For centuries in the past. for the manu-
facture of certain quack nostrums,
notably an ointment. ground skulls were
used. The medical books of Nuremberg
~ 200 years ago always cite mumia-or
the embalmes flesh of mummies-as a
sovereign cure for certain diseases. The
Egyptian mummy was a specific for one
malady. the Teneriffe mummy for an
other. Excluding all the other strange
substances employed in early medicine.
there is trace of cannibalism in the use
of these mummied substances. 1t has
been shown that cannibalism does not
arise in all cases from hunger, but that
to eat human flesh is religious rite and
favored by the gods. In some remote
manner il has something to do with

fact is cited that to-day Irish peasants

A MUMMY ADVENTURE.
Strange Experience ola French Archaeol-
ogist.

A French archaeologist, travelling
among the Andes in search of knowl-
edge and specimens had a great de-
sire to explore some of the caves in the
sides of the precipices. They We're
doubtless ancient tombs and would
probably yield him a treasure. He Sc
iected favorable spot therefore, rugged
sort of chair or seat between two
leather cords, and engaged two In
dams to let him down from the brow of
the precipice- "A descent of 300 feet
made in this way" he tells us, lis ex-
yraordinarily long"
However, he reached the cave in
safety, and on forcing a passage into

and a "thoroL yhly dry" he
says, "and pretty solid" He passed a
string through the eyeholes of the
skulls and attached them to his belt.
Then he took the mummy in his arms
and signaled to the Indians to draw
him up. With his heels he defended
himself against the jutting rocks and
in few minutes was almost on a level
with the top. The Indians knew moth

of scenery, in the ordinary sense of
the word, there was none at all. What
we saw was the real thing. In the
opening scene of "OEdipus," the King
coming forward through the royal
portal, and across the raised platform
in the rear of the stage-did literally
'enter from the palace and did de
scend the palace steps" TO the public
place where Creon and the priests
awaited him. It was a direct reversal
OF the ordinary effect in the ordinary
theater, where the play loses in real
ism because a current of necessarily
appreciated. but purposely rejected. an
togonistic fact underruns the conven-
tional Illusion. and compels US TO per-
ceive that the palace is but painted
canvas, and, even on the largest stage,
only four or five times as high as the
prince. The palace at Orange-tower-
ing up as though II would touch the
heavens. and obviously of Neritable
stone-was a most peremptory reality.
The fortuitous accessory of the trees
growing close beside the stage added TO
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch of realism: and this was
heightened by the swaying of the
branches. and by the gracious motion
of the draperies. under the fitful pres
sure of the strong gusts of wind. In
deed, the mistral took a very telling
part in the performance. Players less
perfect in their art would have been
disconnected by il; but these of the
Coincide Franchise were quick TO per-
ceive and to utilize it's artistic posi-
bilities. In the very midst of the sol
emn denunciation of OEdipus by Tire
sias, the long white beard of the blind
prophet suddenly was blown upward
utterance choked by it: and the momen-
tary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and slowly freed his face from
this chance covering, made a dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to IL
a naturalness which wildly intensified
its solemn import. In like manner the
final entry of OEpidus. coming from the
palace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real For a moment, as he
came upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself-his
CHASTITY eye-sockets. his blood-stained
face-was visible; and then gust of
wind lifted his mantle and flung it
about his head so that all was con-
cealed; and an exquisite pity for him
was aroused-while he staggered pain
fully to rid himself of the encumbrance
by the imposition of this petty annoy
ance upon his mortal agony OF body
and of soul-..The Coincide Franchise
