The Professional View,

An English physician of whom many
stories are In circulation may not be
as unsympathetic as a recent anec-
dote seems to make him. He is spe-
cialist on all sorts Of mental disturb
ances and the fits. spasms and con-
vulsions which sometimes accompany
them. One of his patients, most ex-
citable person, II suddenly alarmed or
distressed, would fall into curious
comatose state from which she could
not be reused until the effect of the
shock had passed. The physician had
been summoned again and again, but
It always happened that he was away
from home at the time, and before he
arrived on the scene of action the pa.
tient had recovered. At last one night
he was summoned and arrived at the
house while the woman was still un-
conscious. He hurried upstairs and
into the room where she was lying on
the couch. He looked at her, and an
expression Of interest overspread his
face.
"Now, this" he said In his most
cheerful tone-"this is something

Aaron Rurr,s Grava.

Aaron Burr died at Port Richmond,
Staten Island, Sept. IA. 1886 His re-
mains were conveyed to Princeton, N.
j., where, according to his request, be
was inferred at the feet of his father
and grandfather. Both bis father and
grandfather were presidents of Prince
ton college.
Concerning the tombstone which
marks his burial place, we quote from
the history Of his life by Parton:
"Some efforts were made and some
money subscribed soon after his death
to procure suitable monument. but
the project failed. For nearly two
years the spot where he lay was un-
marked when one morning 1t was dis
covered that small, very substantial
and not inexpensive monument of
granite and marble had been placed
during the night over his remains No
one In the town saw the monument
erected or knew anything whatever

Underaround Hotels.

An extraordinary hotel is that in
the sewers of Paris, Immediately be-
low the Church of st. Madeleine. It
was built and Is conducted solely for
the benefit of the sewer workers.
Nearly a hundred meals are provided
every day, and for the sum of $40 a
man can be comfortably housed and
fed for week in this gigantic drain
pipe.
Very similar is the hotel which ca.
ters for visitors to the coal mine Of
st. Pierre at Mons. 1t is to be found
ut the bottom of the mine, 600 feet be.
low the earth. and is carved out of
solid coal. The electric light on the
gllttering black walls, which have
been left unpapercd, is extremely ef.
fective. Large reception and bed
rooms splendidly fitted up are provid.
ed, and the hotel even boasts the lux
ury of swimming bath.

The Presidential Salute,

One explanation of the reason for
adopting twenty-one guns as the presi-
Dental salute is that there might be
maintained uniformity in national
salutes, Great Britain having In the
distant past adopted twenty-one as the
number for the royal salute. OF the
many surmises as to why the number
twenty-one was settled upon we men
tion two-flrst, that twenty-one was
the number of years fixed by English
law as the age Of majority; second,
that seven was the original salute
and three times seven would signify
one seven for each of the, divisions,
England and Wales, Scotland and Ire
land. 1t is asserted that the United
States adopted this salute to signify
to the mother country that her child
had reached his majoriy and was pre-
pared In law to inherit the land and to
this end fred the "gun of 1776." the
figures Of which year, 1+7+7+6, equal
