made application to be assigned to the
Thirteenth regiment, with headuuar-

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The Windsor hotel, of which George
Edmunds is proprietor, was entered
by burglars some time during wednes-
day night. The discovery was made
yesterday morning by the proprietor.
who, upon entering the bar found the
money drawer open and the Ave dollars
in change left there the previous night
gone. Closer inspection of the prem
ises showed that entrance had been ef-
fected by using an iron bar on one
of the windows facing Rushbrook
street and the open window at the rear
facing the bar was evidently the way
the intruder departed. Suspicion fell
upon a young man who until recently
was employed around the place and
the matter was placed in the hands
OF Chief Mckinley who arrested him at
Scull Pond. He was brought here and
placed in the lookup but as there was
no direct evidence to prove he was
the burglar, he was later in the day
liberated.

Fortunately outside Foreman Hunter
was in the breaker at the time and
saw the boy just as he struck the slate
pickers upon which he fell. He, with
the assistance of some water brought
the boy around in a few minutes. And
after resting a while he was able, with
assistance, to walk home. Fortunately
his injuries consisted of but a few
bruises, although he was of course,
badly shaken up. 1t is thought he will
be able to resume work in a couple of

DROPS OF WATER.
Students Experiment Which Proved
to Be Very Painful.

From the Philadelphia Times.
To learn just how much pain would
be caused by the constant dripping Of
water on the body, several students at
Wichita. Kan, have tried it.
A gallon of water was TO be luoced
drop by drop from a height of three
feet, the drops falling at intervals Of
about two seconds. A gallon of water
rate it would take over thirty-four
hours to complete the task.
One of the students was seated at a
table and allowed his left hand to be
fixed immovably to the table. so as to
insure every drop striking the same
spot on the back of the hand The ap-
paratus for dropping the water was ad-
justcd and the experiment began. For
the first fOrty-fiVe minutes, he expert
enCcd no inconvenience, save his hand
becoming uncomfortable from being
wet constantly with the cold water. Ar
ransements were then made to keep
the water at blood heat. and 1t soon
became more comfortable. In about
two hours n slight redness began to
appear, which gradually got as big as
a quarter. The third half hour the
drops were scarcely felt at all. the hand
being apparently numb to the water
although sensitive to the touch of any
thing else. The red spot increased un-
til 1t was larger than a silver half dol
lar, and the dripping of the water be-
gan TO become slightly painful. 1t was
noticed that if any one told a story or
did anything to divert the students =
attention from his hand he did not no
tice any pain at all, but concentration
of thought upon his hand made tho
pain grow. The water was kept stead
lily at close to 96 degrees.
After about six hOuhs and a half the
red spot, which had been first a bright
red, slowly turned to purple, and a
blister began to rise. The pain had in
creased gradually up to this stage, ami
the young man said he felt as though
every falling drop came with the force
Of a hammer, the pain reaching the
shoulder, and even a little beyond. AZ
ter the blister had raised the blows
from the drops were not so severe, but
he said they We're bad enough, being a
duh feeling like slowly pushing down
upon II,
After about eight hours and twenty
minutes the water was shut of About
1890 drops had been let fall. the rate
being q little above the schedule, only
one Quart two ounces of water having
been used.

THE EGYPTIAN AT HOME.
In Hospitality and Politeness He
Stands Pre-eminent.

oIdlluS
From Pearson's Weekly.
The Egyptian Of today may easily be
surpassed in honesty, courage and the
manlier virtues; yet in hospitality and
politeness he stands prc-emnent. No
Egyptian sits down to meal without
asking all passersby to partake OF it;
during his thirty days fast every year
his doors are open to all, no introduce
tion is needed to the poor he gives un-
grudgingly.
Though allowed to have four wives,
the Effendi Is almost always a mono
gamist. Marrying early, he is, as a
rule, a good husband and father, and
fond of and kind to his children.
TO show the direction in which the
ideas of marriage are setting, we may
say that one of the first teachers in
Mohammedan law in Egypt some time
ago laid down this maxim, that the
prophet has allowed four wives to any
man who would engage to love all four
alike, but as he had never met any one
capable of doing so, he would recon-
mend one wife as the Interpretation of
the prophets words. Indeed, the rela-
tions of the wife so resent a mans
marrying again that it is hardly ever
done.
In abstinence from drinking to eX-
cess the whole Egyptian nation stands
head and shoulders above us. The
hospitality of the sheikhs. or village
headmeu, is boundless, and takes the
shape of feasts at which Athelstane
might have presided and Cedric been
entertained, and both found themselves
at home.
We have seen men sit down to a ban
quet of twenty-one heavy courses,
where huge turkey was the seven
teenth course: and the first course
alone consisted of q whole sheep, inside
which was a goose, inside that chick
en-, then pigeon, and finally an egg,
which last was presented to the prin-
| cipal guest, as containing the essence
| of ALL
The weakest point of the Egyptians
arlnor is his lack of courage, and very
feeble idea Of what fair play means.
An Egyptian Effendi, or man of the up
per classes, told me with great salts
faction of duel one of his countrymen
had with an Italian, in which the
| Egyptian chose clubs as the weapon to
fight with and then disabled the right
hand of the italian by sudden blow
before the duel had begun. He actual
| ly could see nothing to blame in his
countryman. but rather commended his
| promptness in action
on the other hand. recent events in
| the Soudan have shown that the Egyp-
tian makes a good lighting man. pro-
| Vided he has faith in his officers, and
| is not called upon to act for himself
