A New Mirror.

Mirrors that one can see through are
new invention already coming into use.
They are of so-called "platinized glass;"
being backed with a compound made of
95 per cent silver and per cent plati-
mum, and, OFFICIALLY speaking, they are
exceedingly curious and interesting.
Looking into glass of this kind one
finds a first rate reflection; it is mir
ror and nothing more. At the same time
a person on the other side can see d.
rectly through it. For example, glass
of this sort placed in front of the pre-
scription desk in an apothecary shop
perfectly conceals the prescription clerk
and his apparatus. Thus the privacy of
that department is secured, while on his
part the clerk is able to survey the shop
and see everybody who comes in just as
if the mirror were ordinary glass. 1t is
transparent to him, but is like any COM
mon mirror from the point Of view of
people in front. 1t is easily seen that
glass of this is likely to be useful for
good many purposes. In can be put in
doors OF dark bathrooms, or of any
other rooms where privacy is desirable
and light is wanted Philadelphia Post.

Rev. LYMAN Abbott's Views.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott says that the
thing which impressed him most in his
recent southern trip was the enthusiasm
with which the southern people them
selves were undertaking the education
and elevation of their own poor and
ignorant population.
eve in the north have sent down
about $30,O00,0O0 for the education of
the colored people in the south. The
south, it is estimatedS has expended
about $12O,0OO,OOO upon the education
the colored people. They have done it
out of their own poverty and in spite of
what we call their prejudice" He thinks
we ought to get away from the notion
that the southern people cannot be
friendly to the negro because they don't
regard him as we think they ought to,
land as we would not regard the negroes
if we lived surrounded by them as they
are"

The Florida Razorback.

The "Florida razorback" is the hog
indigenous to this climate and soil. He is
usually large of limb and feet of foot,
being the only known porker that can
outrun darby. He has tail of Won
drous length, which, while he is in active
motion, he twists into the tightest cork
screw, but with which while quietly feed
ing he raps his leathery sides much in the
same mnnner that the docile COW uses
her tail. He is seltsupporting. He
earns his own living, and thrives equally
well in the highwoods, in the fatwoods,
in the hummocks and in the marshes.
He subsists upon anything he can find
above the earth or underneath it's sur
face. He has a clear, far-seeing- eye, and
is very sensitive of hearing. Nature has
equipped him with snout almost as
long as the beak of the wild pelican Of
Borneo, with which he can penetrate the
earth many inches in quest of worms,
snakes and insects. He is the most in
telligent of all the hogs, and is likewise
the most courageous. He has been
known to engage in mortal combat with
a coon for the possession of a water
melon, and to rend asunder a barbed
wire fence.
He is so intelligent that when he lives
in the towns he becomes as familiar with
the railroad schedules as are the train
dispatchers themselves, and plies his
vocation in great numbers about the
railroad stations, and yet no train ever
ran over "razorback." Whenever the
railroad companies are forced to pay for
the killing of a hog, it always proves to
be Berkshire, a Guinea, or some other
fine breed-never a "razorback." He is
too active and alert to be caught even
by locomotive. He is nervous, restless,
energetic, and hence does not thrive we'll
in pens. Confined he loses rather than
gains flesh. He is always ripe for mar
ket' as his condition is as goodin August
as it is in January. His owner respects
his intelligence, admires his nerve and is
fond of him as food, for he may always
be depended upon to afford the proven
bal streak of lean" with a very small
"streak of tat" He is the king of hogs.
He can be grown more proftably than
any other known variety, since. as has
been observed, he is energetic and intel
ligent enough to feed and clothe HIM

She Designs Church Windows.

A young woman in Milwaukee has
achieved a national reputation and is
fast winning wealth by designing and
making church windows. She not only
designs the windows and reproduces
the designs in colors upon the glass, but
with some assistance herself manages the
huge oven in which the colors are burned
into the glass and the design thus made
permanent.
Marie Herndl is the artists name. She
was born at Munich and there studied
the art by which she is now making her
fortune. Before coming to this country
she made reputation as an artist in
Germany and from the first here she re-
ceived important commissions At the
worlds fair she exhibited window II
by 6 feet, for which she received medal
and diploma.
Just now she is making a set of six
windows depicting scenes in the life of
Christ for church in San Francisco.
She has been at work on this for a year
and a half, and she expects that it will
take two years altogether to complete

"Diminy is Coming"

Adrian Dimnent of Milwaukee is the
official death herald Of the Hollanders OF
Milwaukee. Although he is nearly "a
years old, he manages to call on the 236
Holland families of the city in about a
day and a half. Wien be makes his
rounds the children, seeing him in the dis.
lance, inform their parents that "Diminy
is coming" His coming is anxiously
awaited, even by the neiehbors Of these
families. The announcement, always in
the Holland language, is prefaced by pre-
senting the compliments of the bereaved
family. Then follow the name of the de-
ceased, age and time and place of funeral.
Unless any other information is desired,
which is usually the case, Mr.. Dimnent
continues on his rout, with short intervals
at the homes OF the families upon whom
he calls at 10, - and o'clock, which
are the hours for luncheon and meals.
This custom OF announcing deaths among
Hollanders was brought over from the
old country, where all births and deaths
are announced by man wearing a uni
form similar to that of the German pail
bearers,

Condition of Affairs at Insane Asylum.


 Dr. Hooper, superintendent of the state insane asylum, has published a statement of conditions at the above institution. Dr. Hooper states that the asylum is able to accommodate only 600 patients, and that there are now at the institution GAO unfortu- mates. Referring to application for admission of patients, the superin- tendent says:
 "There are on the roster and now present in the asylum GAO patients. The legislature made an appropria- ton of $100 per capita per year for their maintenance, care and comfort, which is $S.33 each per month. Out of this fund everything must be pro- vided. The fuel bill amounts to S10,O00 a year; for lights, $2,400; water, $2,25O, besides clothing, bed ding, furniture, washing, ironing, medicines and food. Besides the pa tients there are over 100 employees and officers who are provided with board, lodging and laundry accom- modations, as the law provides. Out of this provision for 600 people of $S.33 per month TAO are provided for, as you see. How this is done it Is hard to explain, but still it is done The limit, however, has been reach ed, and the strain is a heavy one We can do no more now. The ad- missions can come only after death or recovery of others; most particu- larly is this so in the colored depart ment. There seems to be no other remedy except for the counties to provide their own means of care and comfort. The senators and repre- sentatives in the last legislature can better tell why this distressing state of affairs exists than I can. 1 did my duty in presenting the conditions to the general assembly. l could do no more. l have done my duty here and stretched " f1earls allI facili- ties to their utmost, and 1 believe if the situation is properly understood the officials of the state will not inn perfume and distress me with plead ings 1 cannot yield to, however much l would be pleased to favorably meet them."
