PARTISAN Journalist Asked to bogus Re
henrsal of Parliamentary Bell.
An interesting hoax has been perpe-
trated by a prominent Partisan Jour-
ma at the expense Of its contempora-
ries, says the London Standard AS re-
corded some days since. M. Deschanel.
IN the course OF one Of his noisy sit
tings OF last session, broke the historic
pell placed on his desk to call the
deputies to order. The journal in
question announced that there was to
be an interesting rehearsal TODAY when
with the ushers to initiate the noisy
deputies, a trial OF a number of new
oells would be made with a view of
selectlng a successor to NJ. Flchet's
gllt. which had done duty since 1850.
n result was that a crowd of Paris
ian Journalists were early in attend
ance at the Palais Bourbon, with a
view OF ascertaining the hour at which
this interesting ceremony was to take
place. Courteous ushers, who, no doubt,
from their long experience, would
make model deputies, were there. as
usual. to greet them; but nothing was
known of the trial, and the journalist
responsible for the original paragraph
has the satisfaction of knowing that
ne deranged at least fifty Of his con-
freres, caused much amusement at the
chamber, and afforded a subject for
gossip in the evening at the clubs. M.
Deschanel, the president of the cham
Der, is still in this country; but on his
return eight new bells, which have
been cast. will be submitted to him,
and the chosen three will be further
embellished with the initials "R. F."
One OF these bells will be placed in
the chamber, one kept for reserve, and
the other sent to Versailles for the use
of future congresses. It seems that

S SENSATIONS.

There Are Really Only Four of Them.
There are only four simple taste SEN
sations, namely-sweet, bitter, sour
and salt. 1t is said by some that there
are only two, sweet and bitter. All
other sensations which are commonly
called tastes r complex results OF
sensations of smell, touch, temperature
and sight. The by which we
distinguish almost all of our common
food and drinks is not the m Of
taste SO much as it is the sense OF
smell, touch, temperature and sight.
All the fine differences by which we
distinguish the various fruits. meats
and drinks depend not upon taste at all
but upon these other senses A proof
Of these facts may be given by merely
blindfolding the eyes and closing the
nose and taking various kinds of foods
and drinks in the mouth without swal-
lowing them. 1t will then be found
that it is quite impossible to distin-
guish many of the commonest foods
and drinks. It is, of course, generally
known that what is popularly mistaken
for the taste of coffee, tea and wine is
only their aroma

Then a lawn of several acres has been

A rare musical treat is in store for
visitors to the exposition of 1899.
From the opening d,ay there will be a
succession of grand concerts by the
most famous musical organizations OF
the world. The wotld-famed British
Grenadier Band, GENERALLY known as
Godfrey's british Military Band, give
daily concerts for five weeks. From
Omaha it goes to SAn Francisco and
from there to Australia, Following
will come the famous Bellstedt-Ballen-

Cincinnati for an engagement of five
weeks. Herman Beplstedt, the leader

This Is especially true of the Florida
plants, and also of the Hawaiian col
lection, several cars coming from
those islands. In addition to the
plants already on the grounds there
has been over $50, 900 new plants set
out this year. The palm and oleander
features will be conspicuous. as it IS
intended to have a wonderful collec-
ton OF these among others. In addi-
ton to the trees on the grounds last
year, nearly two Thousand new ones
have been set out, making the Grand
Court and other parts of the grounds,

which is very neat and attractive.

AT THE PARIS MORCUE.
How the Third Degree II Worked on
MurdePers in France.

How the Third Degree Is Worked on
MurdeFers in France.
A law that has recently come into
operation gives prisoners the right OF
communication with counsel within "a
hours after their arrest, says a Paris
correspondent of the London Standard.
One of the immediate consequences Of
this measure may be to put a stop to
those COMMUNICATIONS at the morgue
which are so dramatic a feature OF
French criminal procedure. With a
view to bringing a murderer to con
TESS, he is taken to the morgue and
there brought face to face with the
body of his victim. Every artifce is
used to make the conformation as
impressive as possible, as it is hoQed
that the terrible sight he is compelled
to gaze on will so trouble the muir
derer that he will lose command over
himself and make a clean breast Of his
crime in his agitation. When he en-
tiers the DOL he IAN see nothing. as
the stone bench on which the BODY is
exposed is concealed by a curtain. The
examining magistrate presses him with
questions and then, at what he con-
slders the opportune moment, gives the
signal for the curtain to be pulled back.
The murderers who have stood this
ordeal without flinching are compar-
atively few. The majority of them
exhibit the utmost terror and implore
to be taken out of sight OF the corpse,
There is a chair in the where the
concentrations take place, in which the
majority of the most notorious MUIR
derers of the last thirty years have
been seated. Their names are in
scribed on its back, one of the first
being Troppmann. who, just before the
franco-German war, butchered an en-
tire family. French criminal counsel
have found that these confr~ontations
almost always result In the confusion
OF their clients, have looked into tho
matter and believe they have discov-
cred that the examining MAGISTRATE
has no legal right to subject a pris-
oner to this ordeal. For the future
they are going to advise their clientg
to refuse to allow themselves to be
taken to the morgue and it seems that
it is a moot point whether the author
tiles will be able to convey them
thither by force.

TO BRING ABOUT SLEEP.
The Half Hour Before Bedtime Should
BE Quietly Spent.

The Half Hour Before Bedtime should
BE Quietly Spent.
Difficulties in going to sleep are
sometimes physical more than mental,
says the Spectator. The physical, un-
der ordinary circumstances, are due to
the circulation. The following are a
few practical hints: Some sleep better
half sitting up with three pillows,
some better with none; some with lit
tie covering, some with much. Hot
drinks or a hot bath just before sleep,
hot bottles to the feet, are often useful.
Tobacco often increases sleeplessness.
Sometimes, after long waking, a small
meal will bring sleep. Some, espe-
cially invalids. will wake after two
or three hours: a cup of hot, fresh tea
will often send them to sleep again.
Sometimes the darkness seems exciting
and one can sleep with a lighted can
die. Intermittent noises, as Of q rat
Ting window, are always bad, but a
continuous noise is often a lullaby.
Moderate fatigue aids. but exhaustion
prevents sleep. Oftenest slee%plessness
is mental and springs from a want
Of self-control. Either one subject
engrosses the mind or a succession Of
ideas. In either case the slsepless
must make the effort to stop thought.
It is best done by attending %continu-
ously to some monotonous and unex-
citing idea which is self-hypnotism.
Some count. some breathe slowly as II
asleep, some look at Imaginary sheep
going through q gate. One Of the best
ways Is to watch those curious appear
ances which come to closed eyes, a
purple hare fading into a star, which
becomes an Irregular line, and again
changes to something else. They can
not be seen when first sought, but
will come with a little patience. In
all these the purpose is to fix the at
tention on some object which will
arouse no associations. It requires
steady effort to do this and to prevent
the shonghts wandering. but exercise
increases the power to succeed. The
half hour before bedtime shoule b.
| spent quietly.
