A carriage was kept in readiness, or when that was not possible the first vehicle that could be found was seized again in the king's name and into that the prisoner was made to enter, two or three officers sitt-

Why a Drunken Man Escapes. Scientific Journal.!
.One sometimes sees a drunken man pitched violently from a horse, and Jhen the bystanders rush to find him
they are astonished to discover hat he has been little injured. In his scrambles Among the High Alps,"
Leslie Stephen tells the story of a guide who, while drunk, fell over a precipice so deep that a fall over it seemed almost certain death, and who yet sustained little injury. Stephen ac- cordingly gives his readers the advice either not to fall over a precipice, or to get thoroughly drunk before doing so.
the reason of this immunity is that intnorve centers are so much paralyzed f ! ,tlrunken man as not to be af-ect- ed
by the shock of the fall, which, jn a sober man, would have acted upon inem so violently as to stop the heart,
circulation, and cause instantdeu vry Ling and Very Plou.

How the Chinese Train Fijhtin Turtles. Wonsr Chin Foo in Chicago News.
Turtle fighting is very common in the east, and I am surprised the sport has not been introduced into this country. It's quiet, nice, and very satisfactory. Two kinds of the reptiles are good for fighting the mud-turtl- e and the snap- per. The latter is cuicker and more ferocious, oung and old ones are no good. The best run from seven to twenty pounds in weight, and are from 5 years old upward. After being caught they are regularly trained. We feed them with raw meat, raw fish, and a strong drug whose name I don't know. To make their jaws strong and their

The operation was a success, and the patient at once showed signs of relief. The physicians are

A few months' training is all they want. They'll snap a pencil at a bite, or crush and bite through a bamboo in a minute or two. A week before a fight they should be teased every two or three hours and given red pepper on their food. They get crazy mad and will attack their trainer at very chance. TVhen they are fighting we throw red pepper on their wounds to make them more savage. You want to be very careful, tho- - gh, in training and fight- ing them, because they'll snap at you every time. If they get hold of you a piece comes out or a finger comes off, and sometimes their bites are poisonous and the trainer dies.

The reporter asked the customer if h? could mai.e a crooked leg straight, and he replied that he often cured people of bow-leggednes- s, and made their legs straight an operation beyond the skill of the most accomplished surgeon. Padding out the hollows and a judicious proportion of padding at other points is all that is required. Of course, there are special ways of padding for cer- tain lines of character, and the cos-tum- er
can turn a shapely man into a hunchback or into a fat man.
A slim actor need not be afraid to play a heroic character; for he can be made stalwart one-ha- lf as big again if neceesary. For him there are pad Jed shirts which give him a splendid chest, and also arm and shoulder pads. There are special arm pads for Roman characters, and shoulder pads are often used to make the shoulders even, for frequently one shoulder will be lower than the other.
There are special cases in which the deficiencies are so di.iicult to remedy that a plaster cast is taken of the de- ficient limb, and a skillful workman set to work to make a special pair of tights which will hide the deficiencies shown in the plaster cast. This usually has to be done in case or bow-leggednes- s;
also in case of large calves and small thighs, in which case the tights have to be nicely graduated. As an example of the difficulties he sometimes had to deal with, the costumertold of a case in which he had to proportion a pair of legs, the calf of one being twelve and one-hal- f
inches '": that of the other fourteen inches. The deficiency he has most frequently to remedy lor women is the dent made by the gartc-rs-. Actors most fre luently want calf and thigh tights. The reporter was surprised to hear that the wearing of padded tights is as com- mon among actors as it is among actresses, .Nine out of ten actors pad. Of the women on the stage the ballet-dancer- s
make the greatest demand for tights, as the exercise of dancing hard- ens and thins the legs.

It is pleasing to note the zest with which Mr. Theo. H. Davies, the British Vice Consul, enters into any movement of a character calculated to have a beneficial influence upon the moral and intellectual welfare of society. Almost immediately upon his return from England Mr. Davies was found engaging in work of the kind, and has been ever since at fre-
quent intervals, either in connection with the Y. M. C. A., Blue Ribbon League or some other organization. On Thursday evening an entertainment, of which he is the promoter, will be given to the employees of the Iron Works. In fact, he is in his element when devoting his attention to such matters. If there were more men of this stamp in our midst political animosities would prob-
ably be a less prominent feature in local circles than is now the case.

How Calcutta Was Founded. Ran Francisco Call.l
Since the advent of the British into power in India the fearfnl rite of suttee, which condemned to be burnt along with her husband his widows, has been prevented; and though, even at this day, a Hindostani burning is a sight by no means pleasant, it was much more fearful when along with the burning dead husband were burned one or more of his late wives.
The first time when that sacrifice was clearly brought home to Englishmen was when Job Charnock, half-pirat- e,
half-adventure- r, saved the life of a beautiful Bengalee widow as she was being thrust upon the burning pyre of her husband. Job Charnock laid the foundation of the present capital of India, Calcutta, and it was at its present site where the gallant sailor per- formed this hazardous saving feat. Charnock had penetrated up the Hoogly in the quest of adventures, and seeing from his vessel preparation for the burning of a Hindoo he watched the process with curious excitement; but when it came to cremating living reople, and above all a young women, all the generous impulses of the sailor's heart were stirred, and calling to his com rades he leaped ashore, and with the aid of their knives he soon dispersed the heathens, and afterward married the woman and founded Calcutta.

who arrived from Hawaii a few-day-s
since on the schooner Lurline, "are getting to be very troublesome. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them on Halalei, and they are extremely destructive to the goats and sheep that graze there. Owners of stock have ex- pert native Kanakas hunting for them all the time, but they make little head- way. It is rare that they kill any. They are too cunning.
"They also have tried trapping and baiting them with poisoned meats, but this does not fetch them either. They are as wily and suspicious as a fox, and refuse to have anything to do with that which looks the least bit suspicious.
"These wild dogs are of a dirty yel- lowish color, with sharp, almo t white, nos ?s and upright sharp etrs th: t look as if snipped off with shears. Their teeth are as sharp as needles, and a couple of them stick out very long. They weigh about 75 pounds each, when grown, and can rnn like a deer.
"They are by no means particular about using their legs, however. They are very vicious, especially when their young are with them, and enjoy a fight. The Kanakas are afraid of them. It is not known how these dogs got wild, for everybody I met at Halalei told me they were always there.
"They are breeding pretty fast, and the residents of the island don't know what to do about it. They roam in bands , of from four to six usually, and sleep in the lava-cappe- d hills and clefts of the rocks. Lately they have been getting away with not only the sheep and goats but the calves even up to a year old.
"Two or three wild dogs can easily down a yearling, while the others in the pack stand round and nip the other cat- tle and keep them at bay. Once the calf is down they cut his throat and suck the blood.

Pneumonia and Ozone. Scientific American.
Dr. Draper, of the meteorological ob- servatory at Central park, New York city, has called attention to the fact that during the past eight years there has been an apparent connection be- tween the death-rat- e from pneumonia in New York and the presence of oone in the atmosphere. The epidemic has been particularly fatal during the pres- ent year, and it is stated on good au- thority that the death-rat- e 'from this cause has exceeded that from cholera itk 1S54. It has not been determined whether the connection between the disease and the ozone in the air is sim- ply a coincidence, or whether there are scientific reasons for their joint
A man has been found in England who will face Sullivan. John Knifton writes to the "Sporting Life" as follows: "If your readers will refer to your report of the speech made by J. L. Sullivan prev-
ious to his departure from America, in which he stated he hoped to meet among others Smith, Mitchell and Knif- ton, and to battle for the championship of the world, they will think me want- ing, not only in courage but in patriot- ism, if I fail to try to uphold the honor of old England. I therefore say I shall be glad to accept 200 to stand in front of Mr. Sullivan for six rounds, or to fight him in the prize ring of $200 a side, this amount being the limit of my resources at bank at the present time, and I can only depend on one backer who has hitherto nobly supported me, viz : Ben Clark.
Advices from Brownsville, Tex., Feb- ruary 9th, give a brief account of a re-

spect a battery, but that he really was under instructions from the capital to se-
cure the assassination of Martinez ; that two deserters from the Mexican armv were released from prison and were dep- utized to do the murder; that they and another Mexican undertook to do the job, but it was discovered by the Gen- eral, and the conspirators have been ar

Recent statistics show that in 1884 the number of boiler e - plosions in theUnited States was 152, being less than in the previous year. There were 254 persons killed and 261 in ured in them, however, and the number is muchlarger than it should be. Fifty-si- x ofthe explosions took place in saw-mill- s,
where the so-calle- d engineer finds a too facile fuel in shavings. Men chosen for these positions should have the gumption to perceive that such firing generally creates steam too rapidly for safety. These people can reduce the general death rate if they wish, and can espec- ially reduce the present high percentage of mortality among saw-mi- ll engineers.

In the other settlements, in towns not more sleepy, but more aged, are cedars and flowers set all in rows. 1 he houses are real Dutch houses, clean and straight. Mademoiselle, who has spent years in Holland and Austria and Eng- land, points out the various nation- alities of the residents unerringly by their homes and their habits.
"There is something touching to me," said my friend, "to see in the Sew World how the people try to keep a remem- brance of the old homesteads. The Dutch built as near li e their forefathers as possible; the English have their great houses, and the Cermans their garden flowers, and through all the years of change following the settlement of the country these "differences have been maintained. These Dutch hamlets have, too, the more vivid green and the pecul- iar high colors of Amsterdam; the trees, even, are not like other trees: they have been trimmed and fed and cul- tivated the whole aspect is one of iirift, and the descendants of the knickerboe ers are prouder of their queer homes and ancient vines than of any modern landscape garden."
How lSew Mexicans Make Blankets. 1 Denver News.)
The curious blankets for which there is such a rage nowadays are made- - at Aguas Calientes, at altillo, and other old Mexican cities. They are woven on a hand-loom- , which is stretched from one tree to another. These looms are exceedingly primitive, although they are run by a foot-treadl- e which is an improvement on the looms used by the New Mexican Indians. The shuttle and needle arc both of wood, and the
'threads are held together more firmly by the insertion of small sticks of different lengths. The Indians show great skill in the blending of colors in these blanket Many of them are ex-
ceedingly rich and handsome, and there is little inharmony in the shades. These blankefs are very expensive, and are the proper thing nowadays for portieres to bo used in halls, libraries and studios. The Nava.io is the principal blanket-makin- g New Mexican tribe.

The Jailer of Onlm Prison. En. P. C. Advertiser Sir: It is with
pleasure that I take the opportunity of stating through your columns that we, the unfortunates or convicts now at Oahu Prison, have a fatherly and good jailer. Therefore, the appointment of Captain Staples has been a blessing to us. lie is a man of good understanding, and furthermore kind to all our appeals, and does not hesitate to perform for our needs and comforts as far as the rules of
the .prison allow him to do. He is the first man that has been appointed to that position who we can call the right man in the right place, and v.e ever pray that he may remain there as long as Oahu Prison stands. The statement made in the native paper about his being in the wrong is a great falsehood from beginning to end.

There has recently been brought for- ward a simple and ingenious appliance for indicating the depth o ' shoals hi ex-
ploring rivers or shallow lakes. It con-gist- s
of a long sounding rod, ten feet long or more, hanging ver- tically over the boat's side, and turn- ing freely on a horizontal center. This center is in the middle of a dial marked with feet and in lies. In passing over a shoal the one end of the rod drags on the bottom and the other points out on the dial the depth in feet and inches. Moreover, after a little e perience, by noting the jars of the rod a fair idea can be got of the character of the bottom.

Forest Product vs. Oohl and Silver. Boston Transcrint.l
The forest products of the United States are worth to-da- y not less than $800,000,000, which is a good deal more than the value of the metal and mineral output of all our mines of coal, gold, silver, copper, iron and lead all put to- gether.
The annual yield of our gold and sil-
ver mines is worth less than one-tent- h
of this enormous total, and forest pro- ducts, in a vast number of direct and indirect ways, are essential to every in-
dustry in which civilized men engage.
A Curiosity in Kugineering. Van Nost rami's.
A little curiosity in engineering has been constructed by an ingenious clock-make- r,
D. A. Buck. This is in all probability the smallest steam-engin- e in the world, for it is almost microscopic in its dimensions. The whole machine weighs only about a gram, or fifteen grains, and is entirely covered by an ordinary thimble. The stroke of the piston is a little over two millimeters, or one-twelft- h inch, and its diameter is something less than a millimeter and a half. Nevertheless it is built up of 140 distinct pieces, fastened together by fifty-tw- o screws, and three drops of water suffice to fill the boiler and set the toy mechanism in motion.
Communion Services in Olden Time. Exchange.
Some curious details regarding the communion services in olden times have just been developed. One noticeable thing was the quantity of claret and Burgundy consumed. In 155)0 there were used at the first communion a puncheon and nine gallons, and at the second a puncheon and six and a half gallons. The total cost was $510. In 165(5 the corporation of Glasgow paid for the same purpose as much as $800.

Adverfisctm mere IS THE
A Remarkable Case. Under the above heading the "Don-cast- er
Reporter" of July 6, 1887, pub-
lishes the following in its editorial col-
umns :
Our readers may recall the circumstance of a young clerk, named Arthur Richoid, falling insensible on the Wheatley Lane in this town some time ago, and being picked up, as he continued perfectly helpless, and taken in a cab by two gentlemen to the office of F. W. Fisher, Esq., the solicitor who employed him. On restoring him-t- o
consciousness it was ascertained that he was afflicted with what seemed to be an incurable disease. When he was able to speak he said he had been to his dinner and was on his way back to his work, when suddenly his head was in a whirl and he fell in the street like a man who is knocked down. On coming to his senses in the solicitor's office he' thought what this might mean, and feared he was going to have a fit of illness, which we all know is a very dreadful thing for a poor man with a family to care for.
With this in his mind he at once sought the best medical advice, telling the doctors how he had been attacked. They ques- tioned him, and found that his present malady was exhaustion of the nervous system, resulting from general debility, indigestion and dyspepsia of a chronic nature. This in turn had been caused by confinement to his desk and grief at the loss of dear friends by death. The coming on of this strange disease, as described by Mr. Richoid, must be of interest both to sick and well. He had noticed for several years previously, in fact, that his eyes and face began to have a yellow look; there was a sticky and unpleasant slime on the gums and teeth in the morning; the tongue coated; and the bowels so bound and costive that it induced that most pain-
ful and troublesome ailment the piles. He says there was some pain in the sides and back and a sense of fullness on the right tide, as though the liver were enlarg- ing, which proved to be a terrible fact. The secretions from the kidneys would be scanty and high-colore- di with a kind of gritty or sandy deposit after standing.
These things had troubled Mr. Richoid a long time, and after his fall in the street he clearly perceived that his fit of giddi- ness was nothing more than a sign of the steady and deadly advance of the com-
plaint, which began in indigestion and dys-
pepsia. His story of how he went from one physician to another in search of a cure that his wife and little ones might not come to want is very pathetic and touching. Finally he became too ill to keep his situation and had to give it up. This was a sad calamity. He was appalled to think of how lie should be able to live. But God raised up friends who helped to keep the wolf from the door. He then went to the seaside at Walton on-the-Na-
but neither the change, nor the physicians who treated him there, did any good. All being without avail he visited London, with a sort of vague hope that some ad-
vantage might happen to him in the me-
tropolis. This was in October, 1885.
How wonderful, indeed, are the ways of Providence, which dashes down our high- est hopes and then helps us when we least expect it.
While in London he stated his condition to a friend, who strongly advised him to try a medicine which he called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, saying it was gen-
uine and honest, and often cured when everthing else had failed. He bought a

THE SOFTENING TOUCH OF TIME
Doesn't Get Half a Chance to Beautify the Buildings at Washington.
IJoaqain Miller's Letter. Now I have "made a covenant with
mine eyes," a3 Job said, to not find fault. Having in previous letters per- suaded United States senators to keep their big schoolboy heels down off the desks; having laughed them out of the foolish idea of going into "executive session," and clearing the galleries merely because they wanted to smoke, and having also banished the ever-.prese- nt
spittoon, or at least reduced the annual bill for spittoons more than one-hal- f,
I feel that I have done enough for the capitol, and that more interference or advice might be misunderstood. But I must pronounce against this business
this brutal custom of 'scraping down our marble buildings as soon as they begin to take on the dignity and come- liness of time and color.
Now, wnat would you think of a man who would go into the Dresden gallery and give Haphael s Madonna a scrub- bing with soap and sand and ashes I Or let us suppose the Greeks or Romaics had scrubbed and scraped their marbles as we do in Ameri a. How much of them would have been left for us to look upon Let me tell you, for a fact, that if any mary, or even any munici- pality, should attempt to scrape or scrub a building or any marble of any kind in Italy, why, the artistic and sensitive Italian would simply "make Home howl."
Why can not people who have charge of our great structures learn a little something from those ancient states where art first took form in marble. The Greeks and Romans always let time and the elements soften the outlines of their temples, and no piece of architecture
.was complete that had not been rounded down and subdued in tone and color by the perfecting touch of time.
t ut hero at Washington the build- ings are perpetually defaced by scaf- folds; and scrape, scrape, scrape. All the year through, and nearly every- where you lift your eyes, it is scrape, scrape, scrape, till the noise, the dust, the ghostly, glaring sight of the newly scraped; and skinned, and scratched, and mutilated columns and walls drive you out of town.
Why, even England, half-civilize- d as she is in many things, knows much bet- ter than to lay profane hands on mar- ble. I have been very familiar with St. George's gate, Hyde park, the past fif- teen years. It is almost black. But it has not been touched since it was placed there. It will never be touched. Nature must take care of marble after it has found its place. And the sooner it takes tone from the elements and the softening touch cf time, the sooner it becomes "a thing of beauty." For what so offends the eye as this bold and glaring and glittering white marble?
Use of Electricity in Bleaching. (Chicago Herald. 1
Cotton manufacturers in St. Peters- burg are much interested at present in the successful application of electricity for the purpose of bleaching cotton and flax fibers, as well as tissues. The ma- terial is steeped in water, which is then decomposed by electricity, the o :ygen which is thus set free at once acting on the fii'.ers. This process has been found to occupy very considerably less time than the ordinary one.
The Chinese Legend of the Creation. Chicago Tribune.
Chinese legends say that in the lie-ginni-
a vast egg was divided into two parts, and a being came forth called Poon-- K Wong. He took the upper half of the shell from which he had sprung and formed the heavens; out of the lower he made the earth. Two clouds of vapor met and blended, and there sprang from the union a son and a daughter, whose descendants are the millions of China.
Studying iVarine Animals. lArkansaw Traveler.
A French physiologist, Dr. Pegnard, is endeavoring to study marine animals under their natural conditions, an ap- paratus designed by C ailletet enabling him to .watch the creatures in water under any pressure ' up to that of G50 atmospheres, which corresponds with that of the sea at the greatest depths at which dredgings have been made about four miles.
A new hobDy-hors- e has" been devised for boys. It consists of the model o. a horse mounted on a tricycle. It is driven by means of the forward wheel, as in the case of an ordinary tricycle, the steering handle appearing above the horse's neck about which the bridlo should be held. Motion is given to the horse's legs by crauks connected with the wheels.

UNLIKE many kinds of cathartic do not make you feel
worse before you feel better. Their op-
eration is gentle, but thorough, and unattended with disagreeable effects, such as nausea, griping pains, etc.
Seigel's Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discov- ered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the bane of our lives constipation and sluggish liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They operate briskly, yet mildly, without anv pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish taste, is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A few doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will cleanse the stom- ach, remove the bad taste, and restore the appetite, and with it bring good health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and diarrhoea. If the bowels are cleansed from this impurity with a dose of Seigel's Operating Pills, these disa- greeable effects will vanish, and good health will result.
Seigel's Operating Pills prevent ill-effe- cts from excess in eating or drink ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coate- d, are pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste common to most pills is obviated.

bottle of a chemist in Pimlico, and began using it according to the directions. He did this without any faith or hope, and the public majr, therefore, judge of his surprise and pleasure when after taking a few doses he felt great relief. He could eat better, his food distressed him less, the symptoms we have named abated, the dark spots which had floated before his eyes like smuts of soot gradually disap- peared, and his strength increased. Before this time his knees would knock together whenever he tried to walk. So encouraged was he now that he kept on using Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup until it ended in completely curing him.
In speaking of his wonderful recovery Mr. Richoid says it made him think of poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliver- ance from captivity on his island in the sea; and added, "But for Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup the grass would now be growing over my grave."
Our readers can rest assured of the strict truth of all the statements in this most re-
markable case, as Mr. Richoid (now resid- ing at Swiss Cottage, Walton-on-the-Naze- ,)
belongs to one of the oldest and most re-
spected families in the beautiful village of Long Melford, Suffolk, and his personal character is attested by so high an au-
thority as the Rev. C. J. Martyn. We have deemed the case of such importance to the public as to justify us in giving this short account of it in our columns.
