tossing a twenty dollar gold piece to the
bellbo3r—"take my card to the proprie-
tor," When Kingsley appeared, he said,
laying a mass of bills on the counter,
"There aee $8,000. It's yours. All I
want is the right to run this hotel one
day, foul pay all the extra expenses."
Kingsley could not resist the tempta-
tion, Picking up 'the money he said:
"For twentyefour hours it is yours to

with him Slocum and Teagle, neither suf-

It is to be said of them—possibly be-
cause they saw for their own good dim-
inished possibtajeas—that they endeav-
ored to keep him out of the gamblin,g
dens. He insisted, however, and aft
over $15,000 in the tiger's maw. When
Skiff end Gaylord brought their minstrel
troupe to Concert Hall, Steele became
enamored with its life. Here was some-
thing better than organizing a colored
band in Locust street, giving' it heavy
gold braided uniforms and solid silver in-
struments—under the masterful intui-
tions of lerajah TeagIe.
He was wearied of its "sounding brass-
es" in front of the Girard. "If you men
will serenade me to -night I will back
the show.' Could ordinary minstrel na-
ture withstand this ? Never; and. the
thing they played most was "Coal 011
Johnny is his Name" and that earlier
composition, "Champagne Charlie." When
the modern Titmouse appeared on the
balcony it was to answer the cheer of
the mob with dollar bills. ne-not only
reelothed the Skiff and Gaylord enter-
prise, gave it from Klemm s famons

When the organization started on this
career of sumptuous travel it was estie
mated tbat Steele had spent $200,000
in less than two months.
There was an older man in Pittsburg
wit° resolved to exploit this youthful
and reckless son of Helios. His name
was Seth Slocum; and he commanded
jug those powers to open stage doors,
to penetrate the innermost recesses of
.the concert hall and unto* the cluambees

pelliog way to a profligate spirit. Be-

CURIOUS 1TSES OP PAPER.
Employed in Building of Houses, Yachte,
Roads and Other Things.
In the rebuilding of the King of Co-
rea% palace, which was recently destroy-
ed by fire, papier-mache will be solely
employed. To obtain sufficient quantity
for the purpose there has been engaged
a staff of 1,000 Corearts possessed of
stroag teeth for chewing up paper.
At Savinoroska, in Russia, is a paper
house. It has been built entirely of
blocks of papieronache, even the founda-
tion and roof being made from that ma-
terial. So, too, are the chimneys, al-
though tbe paper used in their construc-
tion was first mingled with a fireproof
material. The house, which is of consid-
erable extent, and will, in the opinion ot
its architect, outlast such as are built
of atone and brick, was erected at a cost
of over $40,000.
In certain towns of Russia, too, the
experiment is now being made of utiliz-
ing paper for paving the roads and the
streets. In this case also blocks zeta -
pressed to great solidity are employed
and are said to stand ercellently the
wear and tear of the traffic. The cost,
however, is at present too great to per-
mit of anything like their universal ad-
option. For courtyards of mansions and
similar purposes, where expense need eot
be of such consideration, paper pave-
ment, it is averred, will soon come mto

THE MODERN MOTHER,
Children shudder at castor oil, and

These Tablets mire all the minor ills of

ABSOLUTE SIGN OF DEATH.
Reaction of Litmus Paper Will Shea/
When Life is Extinct.
Henry de Varigny reviews in the Paris
Temps a book by MM. Brissemoret and
Ambard which lie thinks interesting in
iteelf and an invaluable contribution to
biology. The book devotes itself to the
search for an 'absolutely infallible sign
of death, It quest made important by
what is feared mid believed to be a too
prevalent danger of burial alive. This is
the safeguard already called the Brisse-
moret-Ambard sign.
The instruments for obtaining the sign
are simple enough—a lypodermie syr-
inge and a piece of litmus paper. Any
doctor may make the test with ease. The
sign itself grows out of a well-knowei
fact, whieh is the change that occure
in the liver and spleen from the alkaline
state of life to the add state in death,
11 may be said without paradox that
life is alkaline, death is acid.
Experiments made show that this
change oecurs ivith great tepidity. In
animals it is noticeable within a quar-
ter-hour after the last breath. 'With
man about half en hour ie needed. 13ut
two hours after death the process has
markedly proceeded, and twenty-four
hours afterWards the acidification has
advanced to extreme intensity. It woufd
seem, therefore, as Brissetnoret and lam-
bent point out., that there is &forded a
snre means of ascertaining the presence
of death, and even of fixing the time
at which it occurtrd.
