Mr. Peter Alfred Taylor had so long retired from public life that the an nouncement of bis death will recall an almost forgotten name. But in his ac tive days he did splendid public service. He was an aggressive Radical when Radicalism was unpopular, and the weak and downtrodden bad always lu him an ardent and active friend. As a momber of the Anticorn Law league, a defender of Mazzini, a cham pion of the northern states during the American civil war, a determined op ponent of the game lawB, compulsory vaccination and grants to royalty, he did much to stir up public feeling on these subjects, and when, after a parlia- mentary career of twenty-two years, be retired, owing to ill health, the cause of reform lost an honest and outspoken champion. Mr. Taylor was wealthy, but gave liberally, and he deserves to be held in grateful remembrance as a man who singularly sincere, unselfish and of earnest purpose, did much for the pub lic weal. Pall Mall Gazette. Uu Lata titartlliif Kveat. The late lamented Jeaiuns Yellow' putsn In his haj)iMt moments never surpassed a touch which we find in a recent description of a funeral in New York. Among those present was gentleman wo is not in any sense public man nor a seeker of newspaper notoriety, lie is a very rich man, how ever, and this fact evidently filled the observant Jeames buzzutu with awe and reverence. "The young man," says Jennies, witb tated breuth, "whose wealth is com puted at over fifty millions, stood an nttentive, dovout and sad participant in the obsequies," his "pale face, fringed just beneath the ears with tufts of black whiskors, wore a melancholy expression. He was attired in a neat fitting suit of black, black gloves and tie. He stood when the congregution rose, knelt when it knelt and sut when it sat. Through out the long service be remained with set, saddened fuce, and most of the time witb bowed head. Nevor once did be glunce around to see who was there and not once did he exchange words with his pew companion." Jeames was overcome. A gentleman behaved like a gentleman, and yet, strange to say, he is computed to be worth fifty millions of dollars! Evi dently the awe stricken Jeames sup poses that a man so rich might be nat urally expected to weal a red coat and yellow breeches at a funeral, to rise when the congregation sat down, to sit down when it rose and to dance a jig when it knelt. Thut a rich man should condoscend to be a gontlomun evidently amazes Jeames, aud with trembling fin gers lie records the wondrous fact, which is then placed within the posses sion of every friend of humanity for the insignificant sum of two cents. These are the things that inspire respect and admiration for a free and independent press. Harper's Weekly. Did Mora Than Wu Urpeeted. For hundreds of miles in the vicinity of Lake Anstin, western Australia, thore has been such n prolongod drouth that crops of all kinds have sufforod. A number of farmers combined to bear the expense of ruin producing experiments and 000 was subscribed. Walter Mur chison, a chemist, was engaged, and after a fortnight's preparation a series of explosions were followed In less than four hours by drenching showers. The atmospheric concussions not only produced copious falls of rain, but bad an utterly unexpected but equally desir able effect upon the rabbits. The thun dering explosions killed tens of thou sands of rabbits, which had for years preyed upon the crops. Yankee Blade. A Jury Willi Hard Reuse. From a town almost near enough to Philadelphia to lie called u suburb comes story of unique dispensation of justice by a Jury from around about the vicin ity. The case was one in which the prosecution was brought by a young woman against a young man. Despite the eloquent pleading of the lawyer for the fair one, the jury rendered a verdict of acquittal, and then proceeded to as sess the defendant a fourth of the costs tbe prosecutrix a fourth, the constable who arrested the prisoner a fourth, and the justice of the peace who sent the case to court a fourth, The judge re marked that that wasn't much or a jury for law, but it was strong in the way of common sense. Philadelphia Record. Lost In an Abandoned Mine. An old gold mine near Georgetown, Cat., long since deserted by its owners, is still visited by miners who take out an occasional grub stake. Henry Krasor, an old Georgetown miner, went into the mine ten days ago to work a claim about a mile under ground. He lost bis candle and matches, and was unable to find his way among tbe hundreds of passages. For ten days be was without food, water or light, and suffered nntold agonies. His friends grew anxious at bis long absence and started out in search of him. Tbcy immediately re paired to the mine and found him more I dead than alive, about a mile from the month of the tunnel. The mine is under an old river chan nel, and varies from 25 to 100 feet in width. This has been all worked out, leaving an irregular chamber from 10 to 14 feet in height, filled with rocks and gravel. To reach this channol Froser had to pass through a tunnel 700 feet in length. It was only after tiresome search that his friends found him. Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean. A LOQ CABIN SONG. know dal il Mrailii-r larhllljr and onle itlnlluil It In lime!

If thirteen young men lawyers and physicians who have just organized s Thirteen club in this city, can find a haunted house to meet in they will be most happy. The organization is nearly complete, the bylaws and rule have been drawn up and adopted, und the only thing lacking is the haunted house. If this cannot be found it is proposed to use the dead house owned by the town. Among the rules are almost everything superstitious people avoid. The presi dent is to sit under an open umbrella during all meetings und at the quarterly dinners. A ladder will be raised in the room, und every member entering will pass under it. A crosseyed janitor will be secured, and one of the members whose hair is fiery red will be obliged to enter the meeting room first every time it is opened. A skeleton will be seated opposite the president at every feast, and two black cats will be purchased and kept in the clubroom. Each member takes a solemn obligation to look at the new moon over his left shoulder, pass on each side of a post when two are walking together, walk between any couples who may be seen talking together on the street, and do everything contrary to the accepted custom. The meetings will be held on Friday evenings, and if any member has to make a journey he will start on Fri day or the 13th of the month. New Haven Cor. New York Sun. Curious Tomb ot a Kentneklan. Several weeks ago Mr. James Uolden. a well known lumber dealer of Hick man, Ky., died there and was buried with a strict conformity with the pro visions of a remarkable will, lie hud while in health a strong fear of being buried alive, fostered probably by read ing accounts of the few cases of this kind that are known to have occurred, and be determined to take no chances in that line that could possibly be avoided tie caused a tomb to be erected, and in that tomb had an opening left on the east side large enough for a man to pass through. This was covered witb glass. In bis will be stipulated that a strong hammer should be placed in the casket with him, and that the lid of the colli n should not be screwed down, so tbat if by chance be should be consigned to the tomb before his life was extinct be might, if be gained power to move, pnsh off tbe lid and with the hammer break out the glass in tbe opening left for the purpose and thus escape a lingering, horrible death. His instructions were faithfully obeyed. Friends took it npon themselves to watch the tomb and be near in case tbe gentleman's fears should prove well founded and render him as sistance. But death came with an on erring shot, and be still slumbers peace fully la bis casket Columbus (Ky.) Forum.

" Twas in the summer of 18. I was then workin fer Olo Harvey Bkerrett, who ken' store an run a ranch down at Three Forks, in th' foothills. "Near Skerrctt, 'bout two miles away, Ola Si Hendershott bed a ranch.

But it didn't do none of us no good least ways, only one of us. That wur Perry Roane, a young rancher from down th creek 'bout ten mile. Perry, he cut ns all out, 'thout half tryin, 'cause be was a big, han'soine cuss an well fixed, be sides bavin been t' school lots when a kid. So he went in an winned almost. That is t' say, he froze us out an kep' reir'lar comp'ny with Hetty. 1 guess twos all settled that they was t be bitched some time or other, when 'bout May along come a feller from Boston with a lotter to Ule Si from some relation o msn, un jos campea right ut Si's fer th' summer. He was oue of these here artist chumps not a real, genooiue fottygrapher, but one of th sort thut carries a lot or paper an pencils an colors in little lead squirt guns, an draws red, white an bluo sun sets, likewise funny lookin trees an bowlders. He talked like a book an called all th' boys 'Mister,' besides say ing 'Beg parding' if he didn't hear what ye said first time. Sure 'nough, wo guyed th' chap lots first, but Spenceley that wuz th' tenderfoot's name was so doggoned nice an pleasant an took a joke so easy, we all got t' likin him tiptop. All 'xcept Perry Roane. He hated him lots Boon's he seen him. 'Cause why? Jest 'cause Spenceley was under th' same roof with Hetty, an he knowed that it might turn out kind of bad fer him, 'specially us he knowed right then which nobody else did that Hetty wu'n't much stuck on him, anyhow, an had only promised t' marry him t' please th' olo man. Ve see Perry was a good deal of a bully, an drank considerable, an then there was un ole story 'bout his bavin' skipped out from th states, leavin a wife that died a little later. But this didn't cut no tigger ith Si. He had his eye on Perry's pile, an was willin t' take chances on makin Perry trout Hetty first rate, 'cause th' ole man was a tolor'ble dangerous cuss himself. "Well, th' artist feller got t' feolin sort of soft on Hetty himself, an 'most ev'ry duy they'd go wundorin 'round th' country, drawiu, an fishiu, an so on, an in th' evenin when Perry come over t' set awhile ho'd find Mister Artist there in th' sottin room, cool as a cucumber an polite as polite, him not knowin thut Perry had a first filiu on th' calico. An Betty, jest like any woman, 'njoyed it all immense. "But Perry wasn't th' chap t' stand this very long; so one mormn, bappenin be at th' store an meotiu Spenceley there, he walks up un nays t' bim: 'See here. my pale faced un weak eyed consump tive. D'ye know whose toes you've been steppin on" "Sponcoloy looked at him kind of queer, but said be didn't know as he'd hurt anybody. " 'Well,' says Perry, 'it's my toos, and It'll pay you t' climb from under, 'fore something draps on ye. D'ye know who has th' first claim on Miss Hendershott's company? Better find out and take care of yourself.' And Porry started t' goout, swaggorins, but th' artist says, real sharp. 'Mr. Roane, 1 wasn't aware that I was interfering with you. If 1 am, how ever, and you don't like it, I'm sorry; but I wish you t understand that nyther you n r any other rowdy can bluff me one bit. D'ye understand?' "Perry turned liko he'd ben kicked. It was th' first time we'd ever heerd bim sasscd und we wus looking fur th' artist feller t' get bruised a whole lot But he wasn't not any. Perry looked ut bim a whole minute und seen there was no scare there, bo he jest turned and walked out, grumbling and cursing. "Somebody hid, took a shot at Spence ley a few nights later, but he never kicked none, only come up t' th' store an blowed hisseir in fer a forty-four an took shots ut u mark ev'ry day jes' fer sport, he sez, but I kinder s'miscd he was 'xpectin Mister Roane an him'd bev trouble iu th' near foochur, which wus c'roct Cue day not longer arter this some galoot lining word tliet th' 'Paches was out 'thou muzzles, an was chawin ev ry- tlnu in sight an, moreovennore, comtn our way, an not fur off, nuther.

Llsta of People's Names. 'We frequently have demands made upon us for lists of names that we are abso lutely unalile to nil, said a memlier of one of the business address compaules of the city recently.

We esti mate that we can furnish about (100,000 names, If any one should want that mini her. It has, of course, been the work of years to collect these, and then they need frequent revision to bring them up to date. Ibeonlers that we are nimble to ill! are such as these: One day a man came In here and asked me calmly enough for the address of all the redheaded men lu the country. Of course I was unable to help him, for there is no means known to me of collecting such Information. The man's reason was that he desired to send circulars recommending a hair bleach that he claimed would, without lu Jury to the capillary growth, act chemical ly upon the pigment aud turn the same a dark brown. He assumed, of course, tbat red haired men were all lensitiveof the fact, and would, if tbey could without in jury, change Its natural shade. That is but one of several cases," con tinned the man. "Kor instance, we have had an application for the names of all men having suffered amputation of the limbo. This came from a dealer In a newly pat ented composition for artificial limbs. A manufacturer of glass eyes once sent in for the names anil addresses of men liliud in one eye. e have had other requests of a similarly ridiculous nature." New York Uerald Dom Pedro'e Garter. Dom Pedro was a Knight of the Gar ter, having been invested by the queen during his visit to Europe in 1371.

Ualignani Messenger jitukshop or some back yard swilltub, By discarding the idea of stomach com plication in any connection when treating dyspepsia we will be more likely to reach i tue true origin, cause or seat of tbedisease. Some cases have yielded up to exercise sys tematically employed, while others recover under a few days of absolute rest. Tbe numbers of so culled dyspepsias that are cured by the disappearance of busiuess, do mestic, or social annoyance are nearly un limited. An overdue note in the possession of a bottle, nosed and beetle eyed creditor is more productive of dyspepsia than a meal )f secondhand carpet tacks. In fact, it may be a safe thing to assume tbat iu dy pepsia we iiud better look in the garret. closet or collar of the dyspeptlo's house, or among his business or social relations, rather than to his stomach for the solution of thedifliculty. Witb Americans dyspepsia has several factors. The silly habit of treating or be ing treated in the saloons is a fruitful source of renal disease, toxaemia, and re sulting dyspepsia. There Is no doubt that In our system of education weobtain a pro lific source of dyspepsia. There is one education that Is sadly neg lected in America that of the palate or stomach. In the trying American climate man must either eat sufficiently or suffer the cousequences of not doing so. Incom plete nutrition and consequent enervation must be the inevitable results of the meager diet on which too many of our people ac custom themselves to live. Another source of our dyspepsia is our civilized and enforced antipathy to all in nocent and healthful amusements. To such as see only evil in amusements, dyspep tia mental, moral and physical must be a natural and Incurable condition unless their natures are so intensely animal tbat they are unconscious of their loss on the same principle tbat a cannibal is uncon scions of his nakedness. A cheerful soul that believes in the wis dom of tbe Creator and is not at every turn thinking how much better be might have made the world, who now and then churns up the region below tbe diaphragm with a hearty laugh or sends a cheerful message to the solar plexus denoting that he is in harmony witb God aud uature, living in peace and good will with the rest of man kindwho is, in fact, an optimist aud a practical philanthropic Christian can nev er become a dyspeptic P.

The extent to which electricity is be ing used in legitimate medical practice is rapidly on the increase, und many of the new devices for applying it have dis- j tinct merit. A recently invented ap ratus for the cure of deafness comprises a battery, a belt, an electrode supporter : on the belt, and shaped to rest on the ear, , and connections between the electrode and the battery. This provides a con-, venient and efficient mode of receiving the current, which can be applied in ' finely graduated strength. Exchange. ; Mining SOO Tons of Salt Dally. The immense salt dV'posit on Carmen island, Gulf of California, is being de veloped by a company which recently bought it for 300,000. The output is about 300 tons daily. Much of it will be sent to Mazatlan, to be used in the mines of Cinuloa for the reduction of, refractory ores mined in that district . New York Times. Why are American farmers trooping into the Saskatchewan district o( the Canadian Northwest Territories? The answer Is simple, fouler from the Kastern Htates are unable to find suit able unoccupied land in the Western States : the young men who were born and raised in the West look about (or land and cannot find It near home, and oi tnose who nave land some have ne cessity for more. They want first-class (arming land that does not require irrl nation; they want rich grass land (or tliolr cattle, and they want it cheap. They find that they can attain such land In all quantities, some of It tree and as much as they want at an acre, and that as a icttlcr need pay only a tenth of the nurchofe monev clown, with nine years to pay the rest, liia land increases in value lar above the purchase price long before his payments are due. And the men ot Washington, Oregon and Western States see by the map that they have not (ar to go; that lines run up from the boundary at several points to Calgary and Kdmonton, and that the lands to be acquired are along tho line of railway and within easy reach of a station. It is no wonder therefore that there is a quiet but extensive movement among Amur icon farmers to get to this Northern Alls-rta country, and that the lamia irom liny miles norm ol Calgary to Kdmonton on the Saskatchewan anil beyond it are very eagerly sought. In several parts, where two years ago only a small railway station marked the dis trict, mixed colonies of Canadians and Americans have now established them selves. The rhnnograph and the Dumb. Recent tests in the use of tbe phono graph in the deaf and dumb institute at Indianapolis show that it is useful in concentrating sound npon the drum of the ear, so that many pupils otherwise deaf can hear it.
