A eunstrolce is not an accident, but a disease of the brain arising from natural and known eausee. So, at least, was held yesterday by the United States Circuit Court at Kansas City in f3uit on an accident poliey. The decision may have been perfectly correct from a legal point of view, says the New York Sun, but it suggests the unscientific character of the word " acci- dent." In its general use the worcl almost always implies a notion of spontaneous chance, or at least of the operation of 7301110 unknown cause; but in the world, as we now know it, of unvarying seqaeuce of cause and effect, "accident,"in this sense, will eoon be recognized as synonymous with " miracle " and with the advance of lmowledge will disappear. Them remains, however, the very com- mon and practical use of the word as desig- nating any event that happens " without the design of the agent," to quote the words of the dictionary. But surely a sunstroke is an accident according to this definition. At some seapone in some tropical countries a sunstroke may follow exposure to the sun as certainly as a wetting follows exposure to the rain. Such is hardly the case in any part of the United States, for here in the severest summer heat only an infinitesimal number of people are sunstruck out of millions equally exposed and equally uncon- scious of danger. A disease of the brain may be the immediate cause of death, as is the rupture of a blood vessel whena man is killed by a brick from a roof falling on his head; but in each case the efficient cause is a peculiar combination of external condi- tions. The word "sunstroke " itself shows that from the practical point of the victim or the bystanders the man might as well be struck down by a falling, brick or a thunderbolt. And yet again, if everything that happens to a nian without his design is ari accident, an diseases not inherited nor rashly and voluntarily risked would be accidents, and the word would. lose all definite significance. The meaning of "accident," like the mean- ings of most English words, varies indefi- nitely and illogically with the circumstance of its use, but summer tourists may do well to remember that in law it does not apply to a snnstroke. FREAKS OF FAMOES MEN. Stories of Cardinal Richelieu, tbe Great Conde, and PrIIICC Conti. Cardinal Richelieu, the famous French statesman, often gave way to irrepressible proxysms of laughter after returning from the secret sessions of the council. If he had qeen especially clever in outwitting an enemy, he galloped round and round the billiard table, neighed like a horse, pranced, and kicked out right and left like a charger caracoling. The great Conde, while listening to a long-winded address of welcome from a vil- lage magistrate, amazed that worthy official by taking advantage of a low bow to leap over him. The magistrate, on recovering from his surprise, faced round and con- tinued his speech, taking good care not to give the famous marshal a chance for a second spring by making too low a rever- ence; but his caution was in vain. Conde grasped him by both shoulders and took another jump. Prince Conti had the odd trick of barking exactly Iike a little yapping lap dog, and not infrequently barked at a lady instead of answering her. Once he was seized with a desire to perform this strange antic while in the throne -room of Louis XIV., but knowing how furiously le grand monarquewould have resented such an infringement Of his royal dignity, Conti hurried to an onen window and, leaning out, pressed his handkerchief over his mouth and barked softly to his heart's content. The Spring Bride at the Market. In a close -fitting tailor-made dress and a light-colored cape of Persian lamb, she appeared before the stall keepers at a noted Harlem market. She carried a Russian leather note -book with a gold pencil, and the most artistic little Willowbasket imaginable. "Oh, the dear little piggies," she ex- claimedewalking up to -where a number of pigs were incarcerated. "How much are they a pair ?" "Forty shillings, mum," said the butcherl "Isn't that pretty dear ?" she asked timidly. "1 guess ru take sonic oysters, instead," she said, walking over to where the men were busy opening the emblems of silence. "1 want some oysters sent -up, escalloped oysters," she said, "with plenty of raisins in them." " Oh I those lovely pure pumpkins," she said, walking over to a stand where aot of Wollongong cheese was displayed. ° " take four of these. I know it's plebeian, but Reginald does like pumpkin • pies.e "Are all hams yellow like these ?" she asked, pointing to a counter full. "No, miss, that's only the cover," said the man in charge. "Those lovely pink •onions will just match my chine.. How do you sell them a dozen ?" "Seventeen and six a hundred," said the huckster. "Send me up two hundred weight," she said. English Mourning. Here are some of thelatest regulations a PAnglaise : Mourning for a parent is worn for twelve months, six months with crape, six months black without crape, then slight mourning, such as gray or black and white, is worn for a few months longer. The same rules apply to parents' mourning for chil- dren. 'For quite au infant mourning is not worn more than three months. For brothers and sistere mourning is usually worn for the same period as for a parent, though some persons consider six •months a sufficient length of time. In each case the exclusion from society is for two months, though, of course on this, as on many other points, one must be guided by personal inclination and circumstances. For a grandparent, from six to nine motiths is the time mourning is generally worn, half the period with crape, the latter half without. The time of seclu- sion from society is from three weelts to a month. For an uncle aunt or cousin, nephews and nieces, mourning is worn for three months, generally without crape, and few persons go into society for a month. For more distant relatives mourning is only worn for a month, and seolusion from society is not necessary. That the 'United States is a beer -drinking nation is evidenced by the fact that for the year ending .April 30, 1891, they coneumed 30,000000 barrels of the amber fluid. A Scotch gentleman • of fortune on his deathbed asked the minister whether, if he left a large sum to the Kirk, his salvation would he seeured.

A Garrison, N. Y., deepateh eays : The ease of Benjamin Gilbert is exciting great interest at this place. Gilbert is the man tvlio swallowed a small frog or reptile of. some sort recently, while drinking watar from a brook at night. Gilbert is about ;15 years of age. He is a hod carrier and is employed, on a tieNV 11011SO WAY being erected in the mountains by Mr. "Wm. Osborn, eon of the railroad magnate of that nam. I SAW Gilbert to -night at 1 o'clock at his home. He boards in a little brown house three mileeast of this place in the heart of the mountain e at the home of Mrs. Margaret Robinson, Gilbert had the adventure re- ferred to last Monday night, while returning home from a lark with some convivial fel- lows. He put his head out of an upper window to -night after 1 had repeatedly rapped on the door. He refused to come down stairs and be interviewed, saying that he was too ill from the effects of the reptile he he had swallowed to do so. Gilbert is naturally a heavily -built man but during the last few days he said he has lost a great deal of flesh. He informed me he was on a mountain road when he had the unpleasant experience of swallowing what he thought was a reptile. He added that, as he took a long draught of water, he felt something smooth glide down his throat. He ceased drinking at once, put his fingers in his throat as far as he could and attempted to draw the thing back, but Gilbert says he only caught hold of the tail of the reptile, or whatever it was, and it slipped through his fingers. It went on down his throat and into his stomech. He claims to have experienced no inconvenience from it until the next afternoon. • Then he began to feel a griping sensation at the pit of his stomach. He placed his hand upon his stomach and could plainly feel some- thing wriggling around there. On the daffollowing, and on Thursday also, Gilbert says he felt so ill that he could not work, but still he declined to have a doctor, hoping to get relief from his trouble without medical assistance. On Friday and Saturday he was at work, however,and on the latter day spoke for, the firstthne about his trouble. He said that all to -clay he had been troubled with nausea and severe headache. He says he can still feel the reptile in his stomach, and is now thoroughly alarmed concerning his condition. He informed me that if he lived until to -morrow morning he would have a physician and get what help he could. He also declared that his recent loss of flesh was due to the effect of the snake in his stomach. Gilbert remarked that he was sure he had swallowed a young black snake, which was probably about a toot long. He is one of three ruggedly built brothers, all of whom live here m the mountains. Lincoln's Prediction. Abraham Lincoln was a patriotie seer, and withal the tortuous turmoil of his public life discerned coming events which were fore- shadowed but dimly in his time. Often to intimate friends he spoke of the unsettling of values and. the spendthrift use of vast • suins of money during the war, giving rise to various wild and unscrupulous forms of speculation by which money was diverted from the pockets of the masses to those of millionaires. Foreseeing the results of this tendency, he expressed, only a few days before his death, thefollowing prediction t I see in the near future a crisis arising which unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war corporations have been enthroned,' and an area of corruption in high places will follow, and, the money power ef the country will endeavor to prolong its reigfi' by working upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is deStroyed. I feel at this time more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. pod grant that my fears are groundless. In these latter days we have the utter - once of Jerry Simpson, one of the new "CAI" departure school of politicians, to the effect that slavery never rnade a millionaire, while " the system which grew outof the war made a thousand millionaires in the single city of New York.", Mr. Lincoln was 'a plain hard matter of fact man. Every plan he formulated prove - of greater or less practical intrinsic value. He was not given to Vagaries. He fre- quently, in confidence, expressed to friends, his omnitions that the enemy of popular government was the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, and the 'substitution of the influence of the moneyed class for that of the people's voice at the polls Does not the present situation more or less verify Lincoln's prediction and warning. -- Rochester Herald. Natural Soap. "In the climates where nature works hardest, people work least." Such was the opinion of an old traveller of our iterniaint- awe. "You don't know what I mean? Well, I'll tell you. In tropical countries, where nature works day and night to produce everything that man can use in quantities enough to supply the whole world, the peo- ple are almost too lazy to eat the fruits she provides, and are quite too lazy to keep themselves clean, though they don't even have to make their own soap. "Do they import it, you ask ? Oh; no They have only to put forth a hand and gather it. In South. America, as well as in most of the West India Islands, the soap tree, or " Sapindus saponaria,"bears a fruit, the pulp of which is an admirable soap, i?erfectly capable of cleansing sixty times itS own weight of badly soiled linen. In some of the Sonth Sea Islands the Same cleansing property is found in the stem of a vine called the " Vitis saponaria," which; when cut in pieces and boiled in water, makes ,a Inc lather; and in Egypt and Southern Spain are found roots -with the same pro; perty. It is only another proof, I think, that the necessity for labor is a blessing instead of a, curse; so much farther ad- vanced in all the arts and comforts 'of civil- ization are those nations who are compelled by n vigorous climate to work heal' for a 'Meg than are those whom prodigal' Nature loads with her benefits."—Harper's _Paean A Deviated Berth -Reek Rentoved. A newspaper which generally furnishes authentic and reliable marine news, the Chicago Times, is responsible for this: It is stated as an actual fact that the berth deck of the United States man-of-war Monongahela has just been reconstructed on account of the ghost of old Surgeon Keiser. Whole crews who had been in the ship tes- tified that "No. 3, port side," was haunted. Men who slept in that room alone would wake up and find the cold eorpse of Keiser in bed with them, his one eye set in a fishy stare, the red beard matted with seaweed. Not more than one person ever saw the ghost at the same time, but the berth was always found literally Soaked with icy salt water. Time Keepers.

There is a charming young widow- in South Minneapolis who retains a 5-year- ol as the only- pledge of her dear de-,, parted, 'a thle:I'ribune of that city. The little one has just begun to learn her alpha- bet. A gentleman called upon the widow the other evening. Of course, the fond mother wanted to show off her child. Taking up a newspaper and pointing to the big letters in an advertisement the mother said: 'hat letter is' that ?" "A," responded the child. "What comes after A?" g` Andwha t comes next ?" " C," lispedthe little .one. The inquiry' was pursued still further, but . along toward the end of the alphabet the little girl lost her begiings.and.never an- Eniered a question. Finally the gentleman thought he would put a few questions. He . began with this one : " What wines after T ?" The child looked him straight in the eyes as she answered: "A man to see mamma." The lesson in English literature was not prolonged: Early Rising Made Easy. Visitors to the Leipsic Fair flocked in crowds to see the so-called magic bed- stead which was exhibited in a booth on the Konigsplatz, says the Norddeutsche Post. Bymeans of a strong electric current the occupant of the bed is twice aroused through the ringing of a bell, .after which •a tablet with the words " Thne to get up 1" is thrust before the eyes of the sleeper; then his nightcap is pulled off his head, and last of all—if not thoroughly awake by this time— he is pitched out of bed on the floor. Meantime the busy electric spark has lighted the night lamp on the dressing table, as also'the spirit lamp under the coffee pot —an admirable arrangement for the dark winter mornings. No Bore Weak Bridges. A French engineer has devised a method of accurately ineasuring the strains on iron and steel bridges, using for the purpose two brackets, which are attached, some distance apart, to the beam to be tested. On one bracket is a water chamber, closed by a flexible , diaphragm, and con- nected. with an open tube, which serves to register, by the height of the tube, any pressure made on this diaphragm. One end of a pointed rod is connected with this metal covering to the water chamber, while the other is suitably joined to the other bracket. It is thus seen that any elengation of the bridge member causes e motion , of the diaphragm, and a fall of water in the Inc tribe. A Night Session, • A lively tariff debate took place the other night. A gentleman on his way home was overtaken bya man who told him it was a dangerous neighborhood, and that the two, had better walk together for the sake of protection. In about two minutes his eom- panion assaulted him and tried to get away with his watch and pocket -book. "Von rob me under'the plea of protection," said the victim. " Not at all; I believe in at - teaks for revenlie only," said the fbot-pad. Really Entliandastie, "011; Mr. Brown, yoim picture is abaci- Intely enchanting.

There came to a man who has been a success in literature which we should envy did we not all agree that he deserves it, says Arlo Bates in the Book -Buyer, a lady who was neither young nor fair, but who had the assurance of youth in combination with the obstinacy of advancing years. "1 have decided," she said to him that I must earn my livingby writing poems. I sent a poem. to the Blank Magazine and they returned it with a printed; slip. Now, I want you to write to the editor and tell him that he Made a, mistake." It naturally seemed to the author that h had to deal with a humorist or a mad woman; but the lady was certainty in earnest and apparently sane. He endeavored to show her that it was nothisbusiness to in- terfere with. the decisions of editors of maga- zines, who might be supposed to know their own business. The lady insisted, however, and at the end he was forced to decline point blank to do what she asked. Thereupon she turned upon him, a,nd declared that he was one of those who endeavored to keep others out in order that they may have the field to them- selves and who are mainly jealous of Other authors who are sure to eclipse them if they are but heard. "It is all a ring," she declared with ve- hemence. "1 havebeen told se before, and now I am sure of it. I can't make you do justice to me, but I can show you Her method of "showing him up" has been to send letters of bitter invective to the papers, one of which fell into my hands. Of course nobody would print them, but she perseveres, and in addition to this she sends to the luckless author, whose crime is that he did not make the editor print the rhymes Of an unknown woman, a letter once a week. Of course he 'burns them unopened, and. it is not easy to see what satisfaction it can be to the woman to keep on with this sort of thing ; but the fact remains that she does. The story is not of profound import- ance, but it throws a curious bit of side light upon the life of the successful author of to -day. —Character is to intellect what a locomo- tive is to a train of cars. - ,,,,,,,,outrenwrAttsveumwanommuvern.
