private me itution for the inse e in this
city, and it closed the last cha ter of a
etory--gre some, horrible, tragi
The occapant of the carria e. was n
brilliant young lawyer in a cit in New
York state. He was utterly without
fear. Ile boasted of it. Time nd again
teats were made to break his iron nerve
without avail. It needed the in enility of
a -group of medical students to consum-
mate his fate and toLerush his s irit as a
piece of steel in the breaker.
In his city is a college of nediclne.
Some of his friends were studei ts there-
in. Secretly they formulated t eir plan.
When all was ready,', a chall nge was
made and accepted. The teens were
these: The lawyer was to ente . the dis-
secting room of the college at 9 o'clock
that night. . He must be unaccompanied.
- A dim light would be burninl fp the -
room. As he entered he was to be per-
mitted one glance around the room. Then
he was to proceed at once to tier, opposite
side of the room and take,his eat veith
his back toward the entire issecting
room. At the end of every hal hour he
Was to be permitted one giallo around.
This must continue until dayb eak. No
second look would be allowed until the
half hour had expired.
At 9 o'clock the young man e I tered the
room. The fetid smell usual to the' place
greeted him. A lamp burn ro dimly,
throwing its fe,ble rays on the iiissecting
i
table. On it lay a shrouded cadaver.
The corners of the room were. Iled with
grewsome shadows. But one I Ok could
be taken. The young man drew up his
chair and resolutely turned' hi back to
the room. The half hour pas ed. He
raised his head and glanced over his
shoulder. The eyelids of th cadaver
seemed to raise and look at im. He
could not give another glance o satisfy
himself and turned his face a ay once
more. Th el next half honr pass d slowly.
The fetid Odor seemed to incr ase. At
last the time came again for tie second
•look. Quickly he glanced over is shoul-
der. The headier the corpse eemed to
be raising itself. The lamp ga e a sud-
en flicker.
The next half hour was an eternity.
he surroundings, the silence, the inde-
s
c ribable odor, all combined to xeite the.
young man's imagination to th highest
pitch. At last the time for •e third
look came. He was sure now that the
head was' raised -the eyes, w de open,
looking at hirn. '. .
But only one look. Twent minutes

watchers outside the room. Th,y rushed
in, The , young lawyer was insanely
laughing and shrieking. The foe m on the
dissecting table ihad metamor hosed it-
self into the chief of the students'
clique. But the lawyer never again re-
covered his reason. - Philade phia In-
quirer.
Growing Crockery.
Recently 'there was sold in ew York
for no less a sum than $1,011. an old
, fashioned china plate of he xtrenaely
rare kind wideh is known to toe collect-
ors as "growing crockery." 'rem the
plate iteelf had sprung to a 'eight of
more than a third of an inch sort of
eruption of beautiful crystals t lat seem-
ed to take the form of elegant trees and
miniature pagodas. The growin crystals
were gradually rising higher a d higher,
and they had brought up with them the
enamel *face of the plate at every
point where they had sprung from the
body of the latter. Such pia es are a
chemical manifestation of the ri rest pos-
sible kind, and only a very few ears ago
a teapot, the property of a lady in Wo-
burn place, London, that ha become
covered with beautiful crystals in this
way, was sold to a collector for 5,000.
The clay of which such chin is made
contains alumina and m guesi , and in
certain cases these are s acte upon by
the presence of sulphuric acid s to pro-
duce fibrous crystals tha are n reality
'very much of the char cter. if Epson
salts, or crystals of a1uni. On y a very,
very few instances of this ; "growing
crockery" have ever occ rred, ence the
"fancy" prices that examples fetch. The
plate sold the other day had b longed to:
s. poor person who had never, attached
much value to it.
Training' Sheep Doff
The natives of New MexIce • seem to
have an original ve y of trai ing shep-
herd dogs. A pup is taken from its
raother as soon aft r birth a possible
--(the breed of dog s immater al). The
young of a sheep or goat is tal en away,
and the pup is substituted. fter the
first few days the pup is nev r fed ex-
cept just before the flock goes o pasture
in_the morning and just after he sheep
are brought ,in at night. As s on as he
can walk he goes out with the flock and
stays with it all day. Wheiae er he be-
gins to anticipate supper by trying to
drive the fldck in before sundo n he gets
punished. °After he is about a year old
he takes a flock out, guards it f om other
dogs and coyotes during the day and
brings it in at the proper tim at night
without supervision.
Little Nutritive Yalu
The carrot, parsnip, turnip, :beet add
radish have little nutritive va ue, being
mostly water. They cannot be aid to be
important articles of diet, but f r change
and variety they have some val e. They
are also very useful in making vegetable
eoups. The use of celery is xtending
rapidly and when properly g own fur-
nishes'a delicious relish and co siderable
nutriment. It has some repute ion as an
antidote for rheumatism, but o her appe-
tizing fruits are no doubt equa ly useful.
It has also a reputation for romoting
sleep.
What Did He Mean
Themes Bailey Aldrich, who I kind -to
-literary apprentices, is said tcj have re-
ceived not long ago from an ambitious
young author a volume of orbidding
length "for him to read." For a moment
he was staggihred, but then a happy in-
spiration seized him, and he 4nade this
delightfully ambiguous reply: 'My dear
Mr. Smith, I have received our book
'and shall lose no time in readin it."

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
There are 12,000 miles of railway
in Poland.
In view of recent railway accidents
the, French minister of public works
has decreed that all trains must
cairry requisites for prompt surgical
tide to the injured.
There is much French and Belgian
caPital ested in the principal rail-
way lines of Spain, while England
owns many of the shorter lines, and
is also at the head of the Mining in-
.
t eres ts
A railroad official in a, recent lec-
ture stated that it cost his road
each year 'about $1,000 or pins;
$5,000 for rubber bands; 4'5,000 for
ink; $7,000 for le. d penCils — also
that it cost nearly as much for sta-
tionery to carry n the business as
for iron.
The railway system of the United
States ireached Buffalo in 1852, Clev-
eland in 1858, Chicago in 1855,
crossed the MisSissippi river in 1856,
and reached Omaha In 1859. The
II
U ion PaciAc railway, extending
from that point to Ogden, and thence
to San Francisco, was opened May
' 10 1869. It was the first of the
transcontinental railways. The sec-
ond -was oPened March 18, 1881; the
-third September 8, 1883; the fourth
November 25, 1884, and the fifth
November 2, 1885.

--London Daily Mail.
What He Watireci to See.
' Lord Rossete who built the famous
telescope that bears his name, was
an expert ni4rhanie, _and was also
somewhat careless about his dr s.
On one occasion the Earl was lo k-
ing through ethe engine -room of a
large manufactory. He suddenly e -
came much interested in eomething
he saw, and taking mit his -atch,
stood looking . from it to the ma-
chine with a. peculiar smile n his
face.
.The engineer' came along. kWe1i,
what's up?" he growled. "What are
you grinning at? What have y ou to
find fault with?"
"Oh," answered Lord nosse, '!I
am not finding fault. I am cal-
culating how long befote the boiler
explodes. j'
'Boiler explodes? Why yo 're
crazy, man. You get. odt - of this.1'
"Well," said the Earl, "if , ou
work ten minutes longer with that
screw loose there, the boiler Will
certainly explode."
The engineer looked at the screw
indicated, jumped at it, and fastened
It as soon as he could.
"Why didn't you say that sooner?"
he demanded
"Why should I?" demanded Lord
Bosse. "I've never yet had an, op-
portunity of seeing a boiler explode."
Not :,ttooessful. ,
A patient in a lunatic asylum. im-
agined himself dead.. Nothing could
drive this delueion out of the man's
brain. One day his physician had a
happy thought, and said to him:
"Did you - ever see a, dead man
bleed?"
"No," he replied, -
"Did you ever hear that a dead
nuin , bled?"
"No."
"Teo you believe that a dead .man
can bleed?"
-No,"
"Well, if you will permit me, I
-will try an experiment with you,
and SCO if you bleed or not."
The patient gave his consent, hhe
doctor whipped out his penknife ahd
drew a little -blood.
"There," he said, "you see that
you bleed; that proves that% you 4re
not dead."
"Not at all," the patientinstantly
replied; ."that only proves that dead
men can bleed."
Couldn't Pool Her.
There were three of them—a man
and two women. They saw the sign
of "Arctic Soda Water" swinging in
the breeze, and they went in and the
maii said they'd take abolut three
'drinks.
"What syrup?" asked the confec-
fectioner.
The man's wife, who wae one of
the two women, turned her husband
around so that his back was to the
fountain, and then said:
"Now William, if you want lenion
and vanilla, or vanilla and cream
and wink :for him to put in whisky!"
The husband's countenance fell, but
he had to quietly sub-init. He has
been wondering ever since how his
wife could have dropped on that prac-
tice.
Have You a' Matto ?
A man whose feet do not track
stopped us on the street the other
day and said: "The phenoinenal good
health of smokers is not due to to-'
bac:co alone. Smokers carry matches'
loose in thei pockets and it is the:
sulphur on tJ10 mettthes . that sur-
-rounds the I ody with - an au:re, of
