Dr. Tanner Explains to the Cornices* WWI'
!le 'Teed "Cuss" Words.
A last (Thureclity) night's London cable
aye: Dr. Tanner (Home Rider) appeared
before the Rouen a °Quinn:ma this aftPr-
Uoon in obedience to its summons, to ex-
plain the charge made by Mr. Long (Con-
servatiye), that the doctor lied in the lobby
and in the presence of several members
called Mr. Long a "-- snob," and used
other improper language. Dr. Tanner said
be regretted the trouble the House had been
put to about the matter. Mr, Long's
manner and language when he approached
laim (Dr. Tanner) were part of an arrange-
ment to annoy blab. Mr. Long twice
importuned him, and said in reference to
his exclusion from the division (a matter
over which he was still very sensitive),
"That was a 'nice sell you got." Dr.
Tanner said. he was sorry for replying to
Mr. Long as he aid, and withdrew the
indecorous expressions.
Mr. Long arose and denied Dr. Tanner's
statements, deolaring he did not make use
of the alleged words about a sell.
Messrs. George Hawkesviorthe Bond and
James Bigwood (Conservatives) confirmed
his statement.
Mr. Patrick O'Ffea (Home Ruler for
West Donegal) said he was also present
and that he heard Mr. Long say, That
was a nice sell you got." Mr. O'Hea added
that Dr. Tanner was jeered at by Mr.
Long and his comrades.
Sir Julian Goldsmid (Liberal -Unionist)
urged that the House let the matter drop.
Mr. W. H. Smith said he regretted that
he was unable to accept Sir Julian Gold-
smid's advice. Dr. Tanner had offered no
explanation of his failure to attend the
House last Monday when the matter was
nrst brought up. Parliament must mark
its sense of his misconduct in some manner.
If a month's suspension was too long, the
term of suspension Would be shortened.
GREAT EXPLOSION.
Powder House Struck by Lightning—Great
Destruction of Property.
A Streator, Ill., despatch says: The
powder house of the C. W & V. Coal Com-
pany was Struck by lightning at 2.30 a.m.,
causing a terrible explosion, killing one
man and wounding many, and demolishing
ali the property for blocks around it. There
was not a window left unbroken within half
a mile of the explosion. Not a vestige of
the powder house remains, while where it
stood is an excavation about sixty feet long,
forty feet wide and twenty feet deep.
Rescuing parties were speedily formed
and the search for the dead and injured
began. Strange as it may seem, only one
/atality has been reported,but a large num-
ber are seriously injured. Among the
wounded are: Mary Lone, right hip broken ;
James Blackmore, hurt in the back; Mrs.
Blackmore, several ribs broken; Mrs.
James Sheldon, three ribs broken; Mrs.
Thomas Birdwell, badly cut by flying
glass ; Mrs. Hattie Reaschon, an aged
widow, strick over the eye with a brick
and badly. injured. A tramp who was
sleeping on a car near the powder house
was fatally injured. The number of minor
casualties.will.reach 100. There were forty.
five dwellings almost totally demolished,
and there is.not -a plate -glass left in the
business part of the city. It is impossible
at this time to estikestethe loss, but it will
psobably reach 6100,000,

HEADING FOR OANADA ?
The Chief of the ChteaSe Doodlers Escape
ffeut tht) Oherhr•
A last (Sunday) night's Chicago despatch
says: W. J. MOGarrigle, the convicted
boodler, has escaped. All day to -day every
available policeman and detective 111 Chi-
cago are trying vainly to find hina. Tele-
grams have been sent all over the country
in the hope of heading him off, but little
hope is entertained that he will ever
again be in the custody of the
people of Cook County. Last
evening Sheriff Matson drove up to the
county jail in his buggy, got out and dis-
appeared in the building, reappearing in a
few minutes with McGarrigle. The two
entered the vehicle and drove to McGar-
rigle's house in Lakeview. Upon arriving
there Sheriff Matson and bis charge dis-
mounted and entered the house. McGar-
rigle greeted his wife and children very
affectionately, and all entered the front
room, ' In a few moments McGarrigle went
upstairs to see the baby. Sheriff Matson
i
remained downstairs n the front room.
Although McGarrigle was out of sight he
was not out of hearing of the sheriff, who
heard him talking in the room upstairs.
Presently he descended and said he
would,like to take a bath. McGarrigle
went into the bath -room, accompanied by
his wife, closed the door and Sheriff Mat-
son heard Mrs. McGarrigle tell the domes-
tic to bring some clean clothing for Mr.
MoGrarrigle. Sheriff Matson could hear
the water running into the both -tub. He
waited a liberal time for the bath and then
asked McGarrigle's little girl, who had re-
mained in the room with him, to tell her
father he must hasten. The child went to
deliver the message, entered the back room
and did not reappear. When after a consid-
erable time the little girl had not returned,
the sheriff for the first Una° grew suspici-
ous that something was wrong, and step-
ping to the door that separated the front
parlor from the bed -room knocked and
called " McGarrigle." No response was
returned, and upon entering the bed -room
Mrs. McGarrigle said that her husband
must be still in the bath. The sheriff at
once made for the bath -room, and upon
entering saw that McGarrigle had not
changed his underwear and had mit been
in the bath. Then came a hasty search,
but lloGarrigle had disappeared entirely.
The sheriff ran out of the housessearched
the yard and the outhouses and finally
roamed throughout the neighboring yards,
but he was unable to find a trace of his,
prisoner. He finally hastened to the near-
est station, the police of the entire city
were soon warned,, detectives by scores
began to scour the city and every police-
man was ordered to, remain., on duty inde-
finitely in the hope thaelsome of them
might run across the ex -Warden. The
reason for taking McGarrigle home from
jail is found in the fact that States At-
torney Grinnell, for reasons of his own, has
had frequent consultations with McGarrigle,
,most of them outside of the jail. It was
arranged that the two should meet at Mc-
Garrigle's house. The State Attorney, for
some reason, could not keep the engage-
ment. McGarrigle was convicted a short
time ago for having been engaged in the
wholesale robbery of Cook County, and
was senteeced to three years' imprison-
ment, and was awaiting the result of a
motion for a new trial. He was formerly
chief of police.
Although`MeGarrigle was in the custody
of the sheriff on the case for which he was
tried be was still under bonds of over
$60,000 on twenty other indictments.
DANCING NAILED AROUND THE FIRE.
Extraordinary Case of Religious Frenzy
and Superstition in Spain.
• A Paris cablegram says: A very extra-
ordinary case is about to come before the
high tribunal of Malaga. A few months

rox declared that the Virgin. Mary had
appeared to her and had ordered her to
preach a new gospel for thesalvation of
'nd, as the end of the world was at
ban . e woman's story was believed
withouttion, and soon the whole vil-
lage was in a e of religious frenzy. The
woman preache favor of the abandon-
ment of earthl ,6 sions, and advocated
'ode life and habits of
prim' ive an. Dori ' the height of the
frenzy a large fire was hted in thevillage,
into which the conve to this fantastic
superstition , threw t r valuables, furni-
ture and clothes, omen and children
danoin a g around the fire in a
e nuaity. Warned of what
was going on, the local gendarmerie arrived

being thrown into the fire by their frenzied
mothers, and to prevent the houses at the
village from being set on fire.

A BRIDE FOR HEAVEN'S SON.
The WaY the Wife of the Teung Chinese
EthPeTer Was Chosen.
In the San Francisco Chronicle Of July
3rd was the following: The Chinese resi-
dents of this city were somewhat anxiously
awaiting the arrival of news relating to the
approaching nuptials of His Imperial
Majesty Kwong 8uey, " Son of Heaven"
and " Lord of Ten Thousand Years," eta.
A despatch received in this city yesterday
announced that a bride had been selected
for the young Emperor, and that 05,000,000
would be expended in the celebration of
the most auspicious event. As soon as it
becomes known when the imperial affair
will take place the Emperor's wealthy and
loyal citizens of this city will prepare for
the proper observance of the event. The
day will be made a holiday, the -dragon flag
will be floated, feasting made the order of
business, and perhaps a procession and
other exercises will be held. But as yet the
date of the marriage remains with the
fates, which the astrologers of the Empire
must divine. The first ceremony of
betrothal has now been observed.
This is the choice of the bride. A
Chinese Empress is not chosen for nobility
of family or reputation, although generally
she is taken from the nobility. Her per-
lional beauty is the almost exclusive re-
quirement. The mother of Hien ri ung, a
former Empress, kept a fruit -stall. The
Emperor himself has nothing whatever to
do with the selection of the Empress. The
present Empress -Dowager, who is a very
able woman, and who has reigned as
Regent, some time ago issued an edict
through the Pekin Gazette that the Em-
peror should marry, and set a date when a
reception should be held to candidates for
the high honor. On the appointed day the
Mongolian papas and mammas took their
fairest daughters to the Empress' palace.
The Empress, with her ladies, then chose
the handsomest virgin. She should be
Empress. But the Emperor is also legally
entitled to eight Queens: Consequently
eight other handsome virgins were chosen
ffi
to fill these high oces. The personality
of these selections has not reached this
city, but the next mail is expected to fur-
nish the particulars. It is now the
duty of the Imperial Board of
Astrologers to consult the stars and
determine the lucky day when, if
the marriage takes place, all will be
well. If it does not go well all will go
wrong with the astrologers. They are
consequently very careful, and consult the
stars and various deities favorable to
matrimony. The date of the marriage
being discovered, other ceremonies ensue,
such as the presentation of 100 cakes to the
Empresa -elect. If the Emperor should die
before the wedding takes place it would be
quite the proper thing for the fiancee to
commit suicide. At any rate, she must go
and live at the palace and remain a virgin.
When she is 61 years of age she will be
rewardeaby the reverence of her relatives.
The Emperor Kwong Suey, from all ac-
counts, is a commendable young man, and
has considerable influence with Confucius
spd the other gods. On May 4th, for instance,
he prayed for ram, the China papers re-
late. On May 13th it rained. All China
fell down on its knees to express thanks for
the beneficent hearing of Kwong Suey's
petition. Suey was born in 1871, and was
crowned at the age of 4. He is the son of
the seventh brother of the Emperor pre-
ceding the last. It is expected that after
his marriage the Empress Dowager will
hand over the reins of government entirely
to Suey.

TEST FOR *THE BIM!
tii Instramont That Will Tell a'WetuateS
'Meet Age!
At the Freneh, Academy of Xedieitr,
according to a cablegram; Dr. Javal pre-
sented an optometer recently made by Dr.
George J. Bull, son of Mr. Richard Ball, of
this city, who has attained a high position
in hie prefesSign. in thn 941, Vci,eq4 The
design of the optoreeter, Which it is un-
necessary to describe in scientific language,
is to enable an oculist to tell instantaneously
what glasses are required by far-sighted or
near-eighted persons. The inventor has
had in regard to it a peouliarly happy idea,
especially suited for French practitioners
and patients. The figures marked upon
the graduated scale at which the subject
has to look through a lens or a simple
aperture, according to, the raCre or less
deteriorated condition of his eyes, appear,
when the instrument is held as one would
hold a sheet of paper, to be a series of
irregular, elongated figures, but when
viewed through the aperture with the
optometer held as one would hold a teles-
cope they jesolve theraselves into email
dominoes. These dominoes are arranged
in such a way that the sum of the dots on
the furthest domino seen indicates the
degree of far or near sightedness, while the
number of dominos distinguished indicates
the focusing power of the eye examined.
There is another extraordinary, feature
about this instrument. The focusing power
of the eye diminishes as age advances, the
change commencing in early childhood.
This axiom has been borne in mind and
applied to drawing up a column of figures
along the line of dominos. As soon as any
one tells the number of figures he or she
sees distinctly, his or her age is revealed
beyond dispute. The laboratory of Sor-
bonne charged itself with some expensive
engraving necessary for perfecting Dr.
Bull's instrument.
DIPHTHERIA AT LEVIS.
Some Herculean Work for the Provincial
Health Board.
A Quebeo despateh says: The recent -out-
break and ravages of diphtheria at Levis
are'more than accounted for by the state-
naente communicated by, a resident of the
place. Some time ago the authorities re-
moved all the bodies inferred in the old
Levis Cemetery to a new one. Curiosity in
some instances and.accident, or the work
of exhumation in others, caused the open-
ing of the coffins removed, and crowds of
children were permitted to gather around
and to peer into the receptacles of the
dead, despite the stench arising from the
decomposed remains. A merchant of the
place who lately lost a child by diphtheria
kept the body two or three days in'the
house, which was open as usual for the
neighbors and H children to visit and pray
around the corpse When told the risk
that he was causing his own family and
that of his neighbors to run, the bereaved
father simply replied that if others were to
die of the disease it was the will. of the good
God, and could not be helped. Four little
boys carried the coffin to the grave, and a
few days later another child was buried
from the same house.
Don't Despise onions.
A mother writes: "Once a week invari-
ably, and it was generally when we had
cold meat minced, I gave the children a
dinner, „,which was hailed with delight and
looked forward to; this was a dish of boiled
onions. The little things knew not that
they were taking the best of medicines for
repelling what most children suffer from—
worms. Mine were kept free by this
remedy alone. Not only boiled onions for
dinner, but chives also w,ere they encour-
aged to eat with their bread and butter,
and for this purpose they had tufts of the
chives in their little gardens. It was a
medical man who taught me to'eat boiled
onions as a specific for a cold in the chest.
He did not know at the 'time' till I tcld him
that they were good for anything else."
The above appeared in the Lancaster
New Era, and having fallen under the eye
of an experienced physician of that county,
he writes as follows:
"The above ought to be published in
letters of gold and hung up beside the
table, so that the children could read it,
and remind their parentethat no family
ought to be without onions the whole year
round. Plant old onions in the fall, and
they will come up at least three weeks
earlier in the spring than by Blaring plant-
ing. Give children of all ages a few of
them raw, as soon as they are fit to be
eaten; do not miss treating them with a
mess of raw onions three or four1thnes a
week. When they get too large or too
strong to he eaten raw, then boil or roast
theni. During unhealthy seasons, when
diphtheria and likecontagious diseases pre-
vail, onions ought to be eaten in the spring
of the year at least once a week. Onions
are invigorating and prophylactic beyond
description. Fnrther, I challenge the
medical fraternity, or any mother, to point
out a place where children have died from
diphtheria or scarlatina enginosa, etc.,
where onions were freely used."

THE PAAm OF 1P4'.0tbrPERS!
What RaPP4mcd to a Trail/ oz, u Afoon?ig!it4
Night.
"Moonlight nights—they arethe bane of
railroad engineers," remarked a head offi-
cial of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to a
Cincinnati Commercial Caeette reporter. He
is a gentleman who knows every branch of
railroading.
"1 would have thought that the train-
inen Weelfi be glad to have moonlight
Pightu." interposed the Writer.
No, sir; all engineers dread moonlight
nights; they try the nerves of the engineers
to the utmost. Engineers like to run on
dark nights. On a moonlight night the.
trouble with them is no trouble at all—
shadows. An engineer, lookieg out from.
his engine sees before him all manner of
shadows. He is mire that the shadow
acmes the track is a man, or a rook,.
or some kind of an obstruction. He doesn't
know, and he is kept in a state of nervous.
excitement all the time. Going
around curves, along hillsides, very curious,
shadows are outlined around the track,
and very often an engineer is so worked up
over a night's ride that he is scarcely able
to perforna his duties. Some years ago,
when I was going over the main stem of
the Baltimore & Ohio one night, there
was a freight wreck ahead of us. They
were running freight in convoys then, or
as we now call them in sections. Our
train was stopped and I went forward to
see what was the damage. Lying in a out
was about the worst freight wreck I have
ever seen. I went forward to see what the
trouble was. It was a moonlight night
and when I got forward I saw the engineer.
He was shaking all over with excitement.
He was one of the oldest and best engi-
neers on the road, and I was surprised to
see him so nervous'as he escaped unhurt."
" What is the trouble, Toni ?' I asked
him. I could see nothing wrong."
' It was a rock,' replied Tom. I was
coming round the curve when I saw it. It
was a big one; big enough to smash e.
whole train. I reversed the engine to,
avoid a smash up, and the cars coming.
down the grade just piled up in the shape
you see them.'
" I looked around, but could see no rook.
anywhere. The wreck was cleared away
that night, and there wasn't the sign of an
obstruction near the locomotive. We all
were curious to find out what had caused
the trouble. The next night a railroad
man went to the cut, and there in the
moonlight he saw a perfect image of a big
rock lying across the track. He looked up
on the hillside, and there was a big rock
throwing its shadow down on the track that
caused a wreck that cost the company
thousands of dollars. No, sir; if an engi-
neer wants things to suit him, he don't
want moonlight by which to run his train."
SUNSTROICE.
Its Symptoms and its Best Method of
Treatment.
A physician gives some valuable and sea-
sonable information about sunstroke.
During the hot weather, when exposed to
the sun, headache, giddiness, nausea and
disturbance of sight, accompanied with
great prostration of the physical forces, are
indications that sunetroke is probably im-
minent. The best plan is to immediately
retire to a cool place and apply some sim-
ple restoratives as aromatic ammonia, and
it can no doubt be prevented. Those ex-
hausted with the heat have a cool, moist
skin, a rapid, weak pulse and respiration
movement, and the pupil is dilated. Im-
mediate unconsciousness frequently results.
from heat apoplexy, and is likely to prove
fatal. Hot foot baths, blooding, etc., is the
best treatment in such cases. In thermic
fever the patient is unconscious and con-
vulsed, and the body temperature may be
100 above the normal state, and the skin
is very hot. An afmlication of ice to the
head and cold water to tb.e body is the best
treatment, as the object is to cool the body
immediately. It is always best to obtain
medical advice in serious cases.
Milk Preservation.
Pure air is indispensable for the preser-
vation of milk and the place where milk is
kept should be as free from taints of all
kinds as possible. A writer in the Country
Gentleman has found the common moulds
in cellars to sour milk quickly and to pro-
duce the special fungi found upon sour
milk—a blue mould and a bright red one,,
which is much like the round cluster cups
of rust in form. As mould and mildew are
abundant in damp confined places, and cel-
lars are usually close and clamp, they are
not suitable places for keeping milk in.
The easiest way to kcal) milk sweet is to
bottle it, using a perfectly clean bottle, and
to plunge the bottle in a vessel of cold
water; or if there is an open well, to hang
it in the well near the surface of the water.
If the bottle is set, with the cork or cover
loose, in a pot of cold water and this is then
brought to a boiling heat, the milk, if quite
sweet, will then keep a week if immediately
closed up and kept in a cool, airy place. An
ice closet is not a good place for keeping
milk on account of its dampness, which
causes a disagreeable odor and impure air.

ively and the air kept dry and sweet by
keeping some fresh quicklime on a plate in
it. The lime will absorb one-third of its.
weight of water and time dry the air and
greatly increase the effect of the coolness,
of the ice.
