Family Driven Mad.

An extraordinary case of madness, n which all members of a family, con- sisting of father, mother and four chiI- dren, were simultaneously afflicted, has occurred at staveIot. A party of stroll ing gypsIes, who undertook to tell the fathers fortune by means of cards, declared that he would be killed while serving in the army, and this predie- siou so impressed him and his family that in the course of the same day they all developed signs of wayeriag reason, and before long had to be put under restraint. The gypsies, who were the source of the trouble. were arrested by the German police while crossing the frontier from Belgium.

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER.
1t Took Time to Introduce It and Bring
 It to Its Present Perfection.


 From the Paper Trade: While va rious kinds of printed fabrics were known to the people of most remote antiquity it was not till the eighteenth century that wallpaper anywhere near it's present form came into common aaa fa Europe, though 1t appears to hssfc ( much earlier in China. 4 feE ezamples which may be as early i he sixteenth century exist in EnglaLa, but these are limitations, gen. orally in flock" of the old Florentine and Genoese cut velvets, and hence the style of the design in no way shows the date Of the wallpaper, the same traditional patterns being reproduced with little or no change for many years. It was not till the end of the last century that the machinery to make paper in long strips was invent ed. Up to that time wallpapers were printed on small square pieces Of hand made paper and were very expensive. On this account wallpaper was slow in superseding the older mural decora- tions, such as tapestry. stamped leather and paper cloth A work printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wallpapers Of that time: "The method of printing wall papers of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been. Wooden blocks, with the design cut in relief, one for each color, are applied by hand, after being dipped in an elastic cloth sieve charged with wet tempera pigment, great care being taken to lay each block exactly on the right place, so that the various colors may register or get together. In or der to suit the productions of the pa per mills these blocks are made in England twenty-one inches wide, and fn France eighteen inches wide. The length of the block is limited to what the workman can easily lift with one hand-two feet being about the limit, as the blocks are necessarily thick and in many cases made heavier by being inlaid with copper, especially the thin outlines, which, if made of wood, would not stand the wear and tear of printing. In flock and gold or silver printing the design is first printed in strong size, the flock (fnely cut wool of the required color) or metallic pow der is then sprinkled by hand over the paper; it adheres only to the wet size, and is easily shaken off the ground or unsized part. If the pattern is re- quired to stand out in some relief the process is repeated several times and the whole naper then rolled to com press the flock. Cheaper sorts Of paper are printed by machinery, the design being cut on the surface of wooden rollers. under which the paper passes. The chief drawback to this process is that all the colors are applied rapidly. one after the other, without allowing each to dry separately, as is done in hand printing. A somewhat blurred appearance is usually the result"

z PARIS EXPOSITION NOVELTY
The Imitation Voyage Which May bs
 Taken on the Grounds.

Possibly the most striking of the many novelties which will be offered to the visitors at the coming Paris ex- position will be the .Mareorama, as it is called. This is great mock ocean steamer. It is arranged pre- cisely like one Of the transatlantic yes sels, has a crew and captain. and even the motion of a ship speeding through the waves. It docs not move from the spot on which it is erected, but to those on board the illusion promises to be perfect. The passengers are sup posed to be on a journey from Mar seiIles to ConstantinopIe, and as the last bell sounds staII ashore" the harbor of MarseilIes seems to reeede from inc vision, the vessel passes out to sea, Snd all of the scenery of the coast passes in view. This is done by a large number of paintings which unrolI in panorama fashion, and are so re- alistic that the observers, if not over critical, may really imagine that they are taking the sail. The vessel rocks and throbs as If it were really on the ocean, and this is brought about by the machinery which gives the vessel the required motion. Meals are served and if you are not careful you wifi find your soup in your lap. Genuine sea
 sickness will be the portion of all pre- disposed to that ailment, and ir will be almost as if the actual voyage were taken, except that it will last but a short time The coast of Algiers, Tunis, and much of the Mediterranean sea will pass before the eyes Of the passengers, and at last, the Golden Horn, the port Of Constantinople will be entered. The painting of the pan orama has been entrusted to Hugo d'Alexis, a graphic artist who has de- picted the scenes in all their natural beauty It will be a cheap and speedy method of making the journey, not to mention the novelty of experiencing all of the pleasures and some of the qualms of a long sea voyage, without the least danger of shipwreck.

Scientists Found Many Natural Wonders
 Up In Alaska.
 Two members of g. F. Harriman,s scientific party that has been explor- ing the Alaskan coast for some months past have returned to Vancouver and bring accounts of their cruise on the steamer Elder, which indicate that MT. Hartman and the scientists will return laden with many 1aurels. They seem to have developed a mania for glaciers. having visited and explored more than thirty, some of which were unknown except to natives. Tn one pay, not shown on the maps or charts, they discovered an immense glacier not as large as the giant Muir, but much more grand and picturesque The bay extends inland more than twenty miles and at a point near tbe glacier a sounding line of forty fathoms did not touch bottom. This inlet they named Unknown bay. It was here that the Elder maneHyering among the cakes Of ice broke from the glacier, broke 2 propeller blade, making it necessary to return to Orca, where repairs were made. At the head of Disenehantment bay they found four glaciers which had never been seen before by white men. n Icy bay. twenty miles across. op- posite Carro1l's glacier, the party dis covered new glacier with a front Of three-fourths Of mile. This was named HarTirsan's glacier Obseva- ttons taken ia the vicinity of Grand Pacific glacier showed that it's Ice wall had receded three miles during the 20 years that have elapsed since Muir and Reed visited the place and established their survey. The different scientists are having gratifying success in all lines. The botanists have found seY- eral new plant species and a collection ot marine species made by the party. it is said. will be superior to any other in existence. Ornithologists have had phenomenal success and are able to show new bird specimens.

BURIED HIS LEG,
And Had an Expensive Tombstone Placed
 Over the Grave

Over the Grave.
 Calumet (Mieh.) Correspondence of the Detroit Journal: In the little vil- lage of L'Anse lives a shoemaker named Peter Murphy, who is one of the most eccentric men in northern Michigan on just one subject. Ten years ago the physIelaHs found it nee essary to amputate one of his legs just above the knee. When he recovered from the operation he decided that the part of his leg which had been taken off was dead and therefore it should be buried, and he arranged to have a funeral service The amputated mem- Der was placed in small coffin and buried with all the ponp and cere- mony Mir. Murphy would have ex- pected if it had been his own funeral. He attended the funeral himself and wept genuine tears as the earth was shoYeled on top of the rough box. But this didn't end his devotion to that part of his body which was dead. He purchased an expensive tombstone, had likeness Of the leg cut Into Ine stone, and then had it inscribed with the facts of the case, telling that it was Peter Murphy's leg. and the date of the funeral Although this all hap pened ten years ago. MT. Murphy never neglects the sacred spot where his leg is buried. and every week he hobbies out to the cemetery, where in the sum- mer time he keeps the grave prettil9 decorated with flowers. His wish is that when he dies the remainder of his body shall be inferred with his leg. Murphy is a veteran of the civil war and his injuries during one of the bat ties were the Indirect cause of his hay- ing the leg cut off.
