disappeared. A fow days ago, while a

A kickouing odor arose from the water

Ward.
Prof. Taldeu submitted to District At

examination just concluded, of the pois

ter, Mrs. heovule, the day boforo the ex

of a half opened flower contained over
five grains of white arsenic, not only suf
ficient to cause death bad it been swal
lowed, but so largely in excess of a fatal
dose, that the intent of tho person who
prepared the flowers would have been
defeated by an emetic. The original
amount of arsenio was greater than that
found, as the petals failed to retain, iu a
dry state, aotno which adhered when
moist. Corkhill says he is tryiug to dis
cover who poisoned the flowers, and if
found the person will bo held to answer.
Bocontly James T. Hair of Chioago

A Son, of Omaha, tho right of Nebraska
for Hair's patent hotel register for $2500,
taking promissory notes for the same,
which were signed with the firm's name
by young Festner. Soon after tho trans
action Festuer senior, upon learning of
tho oiVuir, issued an injunction to prevent
Hair from disposing of the notes, it being
claimed teat young Festner was insane.
The young man hss certainly done some
very insane things lately, aud bis father,
to ptotoct himself in business, dissolve!
partnership. Hair, who retained posses
sion of the notes was arrested on a charge
of violating the Nebraska law iu regard
to patent right notes, as the law require
such notes to state on tbe face that they
were given for a patent right. The pen
alty is fine or six months imprison
ment, or both. Hair gave bonds for bis
future appearance.
Cmtly Chinese Dead Felti.
Great indeed are the expenses entailed
on tbe living by the dead. Ia no land
can the loss of a kinsman be more seri
ously fult. To begin with, there are
heavy funeral expenses. The body must
be dressed in fino new clothes, and
another good suit must bo burnt, as also
his boots and shoes, most of his ward
robe, Lis bed and beddicg. and tli
things most essential to his comfort when
living, for ho is supposed o require all
these in the unseen world; and though
paper representations are nscfni later,
tbe real articles are needed for the orig
nal outfit. Then a handsome coffin
essential, and tbe priests mnst be largely
paid for funeral services at the bouse of
tho-deceascd, and again for their services
in ascertaining the lucky day for bnriul
while a professor of fung shni must
also be paid to choose the exact spot
where they may safely preparo the grave
so that tho ileml may be shielded Irom
the evil influences which proceed from
the north, and encompassed by all the
good which breathes from the south.
From the tenth to the seventeenth day
after death tho priests, whether Taolis
or Buddhist, hold services in the house
to protect the living from tbe inroad
of hosts of spirits who are supposed
to
crowd in, in the wake of their
now friend, and as all relatives
and friends of the family must be outer
tamed as well as the priests, this is an
other heavy item of-expense Iu short,
many families are often permanently im
poverished by the drain,, to which they
are thus subjected, and which, in the
form of masses for the departed and
offerings at his grave or before his
tablet, are certain to recnr again and
again, lo omit them would be to incur
the anger of the spiteful dead, who are
now in a position to avenge themselves
on tne living by inflicting all manner o
sickness and suffering. Besides, if tho
priests know that there is any possibility'
of extracting money from tbe family by
playing on their feelings, they pretend
to have bad revelations from the spirit
world showing the unfortunate dead to
be tortured ul purgatory, and that the
only moans by which he can be extri
cated is by a fresh course of costly ser
vices in the bouBe. The price to be paid
for those is fixed at the bfgaest sum
whioh they judge it possible te extraot
Buy $101U, and, though the family may
remonstrate and ondeavor to mako a bet
ier bargain, it generally ends iu their
raising every possible coin, and even sell
ing their jewels to procure tbe necessary
sum which shall free their dead from
suffering and alsosocnre bis protection
and good will. Tlie sums thus expended
in connection with the worship of the
lead are almost incredible. I heard a
oilculation once made by one well en
tilled to know what bo spoke of, to the
efijet that fully S30,000,OUO is annually
expended in China at tho three great
festivals in honor of the deed; whilo, in
addition to the abovo, by calculating the
average expenditure of each family at
$1.50 a year, be computed that fully
$150,000,000 is annually spent in quiet-
ng the spirits.
UEFYINO A HATTLEHNAKE. A working
party on a railroad m North Carolina is
mude up of mountaineers and Georgians
One of tho latter performed a foolhardy
feat tbe other day that made tbe blood of
tho unaccustomed spectators run cold
They were at work clearing a ay ihe
thick underbrush in advance, of tlie en
ginecrs, when some one shouted " 'Ware
of rattlesnakes 1" Ho saw ouo of these
reptiles about four feet long aud five or
six inches in diameter, lying just ahead.
J no ueorgiau cut a short stick with a
forkod end, and creeping ur to the snake.
ho deftly pinned it to the earth by push
ing the forked end on either side of its
neck. Then, seizing its tail in bis right
hand, be ran his left down the snake's
body aud grasped it firmly just back of
the head: he held it up at arm s length
and called on the others to "look at tho
vurmint's mouth." It was anything but
a pleasant sight, and most of tho spec
tators were horrified. After holding it a
few minutes for general inspection, be
suddonly swung the snako ovor his bend
with the right bund, letting go the bold
of tho left, aud dashed it with great force
against a rock, killing it instantly. It
was a cool and dexterous feut, but very

Bvnyan Not a Gipsy. "Was Bunyau
gipsy?" is a controversy that seems
about to riso in the Daily News, and bis
called forth a letter from Mr. Thomas
Banyan, chief warder of tho Tower of
London, full of tho most appalling
erudition on the subject. Tho Bunyans
ore not gipsies; they are ono of the "first
families of lioxburghsuiro, and, though
they did not come over with tho con
queror, they came ovor very soon after
him. The original isunyan, whose name
was perhaps Bnuyano, was an Italian
mason who came over and helped to
build Melroso abbey iu 1130; bo "settled
near Melrose, and Melrose is full of
Buuyan8. Tbe chief warder goes on to
say that tho younger sons no doubt wont

and, moreover, the sturdy independence
of Bunyau shows at once bo could not

Tub Ejwlisk SncuiE Law. Among
tho acts passed at the recent session of
tho English parliament was one repeal-
,ng tho old law with reg.ird to suicides,
nder which all the goods and effects of
thfc'deceusod were forfeited to tho crown.
With such severity did the common law
regard the suicide that bis property was
not only lost to bim, but formerly an ig
nominous burial followed tho crime, and
u was interred in tho highway at the in
tersection of the crossroads, with a stake
riven trough bis bod v. All the legal
penalties once attaching to the act are
new formerly repealed. In point of fact
the penalties had been eluded for many
years by the verdict of "temporary in
sanity," which it had become customary
for the coroner's jury to return in such
ases, tbe law not applying wucro the
suicido was mentally responsible.

Fiulayton wat to ttrook by hit demeanor that
the began to wonder what he bad been doing,
an uncomfortable tutpicion which frequently
occurred to ber, tliongb it originated entirely
in ber naturally exacting and jealous disposi
tion.
Next morning Mr. Fiolayton had to start
very early for the city to keep an appointment,
and took hit departure with remarkable
alacrity, at though glad to escape from tut
wife'a presence. , That ludy bad arrived at the
firm conviction, at tho result of cloae observa
tion and watcbfulnott tince hit return the n re-
ceiling evening, that her lord wat oppressed by
tome guilty secret. Hue knew the outward and
visible aliens of butinoti worries, and felt sure
that the cause of bit present nuoaainesa was
troubled conscience arising from some teriout
misdemeanor. o doubt the demon of J eat
ousy holped her to arrivo at this conclusion
but it ia certain that for tome reason or other
Mr. Finlaysun did not appear to regard tlie
home coming nf hit wifo on thlt occasion with
unmixed aatiaf action.
The morning t pott did not arrivo until after
lie had lull, anu consequently .Mrs. rinlayton
assumed the wifely function of opening her
husband's letters. It teemed as though thero
was nothing in the correspondence to satisfy
the uneasy curiosity which prompted her to
examine every letter with increased attention
Uut when the came to tho lait ot the batch a
blue, oflicial-lookiug envelope, which she bad
put aside at eminently uninteresting she nas
seized with mild mystification. It wat a fir
mat communication from the director of tho
Lost ProiKirty otllco, at Scotland yard, stating
tust a pair or neld-irlastet bearing the name
and address of Mr. liuiaTson, bad beon found
in a public, conveyance tho day before, and
wmud be restored on payment oi a small per
centago upon tho declared value.
What struck Mrs, 1- inlavaon as stranco upon
reading this intimation was that bor husband's
field glasses stood at the present moment on
tho mantelshelf in bis dressiug-room. Hhe bad
by chaneo noticed them just before, but to
make tare she immediately went up stairs to
satisfy herself upon tho point. Tho classes
were beyond a doubt in their accustomed place.
vvitu vague curiosity .Mrs. riulavson took them
out of the caso, insido which wat glued one of
ber busbaud'a visiting cards, inscribed with his
name and address. She knew thev were tlie
only glassea he possessed, and consequently
tliey must bo tlio lileuticat ones referred to in
the communication from tho police.
A lew moments' roiiectinn suggested the
probablo explanation of wh.it had happened
with regard to them. Kvideutly they had been
claimed at the Lost Property oflice after tho
police bad dispatched to her husband a formal
utlmation of their recovery. Tho serious
question was, what bad bor husband wanted to
take the ulasset to Liverpool for, and whv hail
lie mode no mention or ii is singular good luck
in recovering a valuable article left iu the cub?
The obvious ausnur seemed to bo that bo had
not gone to Liverpool at all, but had attended
somo race meeting, under the pretence of being
away on business.
l.io idea camo to Mrs. Iinlayson liko a revo
ution, aud she resolved to tut tho matter to
tho bottom. For her morning drivo sho went
to Scotland yard, whore sho oht-tinoil a con
tiruiutiou of her theory us to what had taken
ilaco concerning tho classes. Thev were
brought in early in tho morning by tho driver
nf a hansom cab, who bad just taken a faro to
King s Cross station to catch the special train
for Uoueaster races. The owner's name and
address being found inside tlie caso, au oilli-ial
notice was sent off according to custom; but
later in the ilay a but, apparently a clerk, came
who said that Mr. Finluvson bad telegraphed
to him to inquire for the glosses at HcotlHinl
yard, and, if necessary, to pay tho tinder's fee.
As the application wot evidently buna lido, tho
glasses wero given up.
.Mrs. l-iuluyson did not know whether to be
elated or dismayed by tho result of these in
luiries, for while there was a sort of crim
satisfaction in finding her surmises wero cor
rect, the information thus acquired suggested
alur i ing iiiiposturo and dwelt on the part of
nor iiusoaiid.
It looked as though bo wero accustomed to
spend the time which she innocently thought
io devoted exclusively to business in a more
agreeablo but less profitable manner. lint
even supposing this to be tho case, what was
his reason for his concealing the fact? She
did not object to bis going to a raco meeting
occasionally, anil slio bad even accompanied

household. Mrs. Fiulayaon made her in
quriet guardedly, but was met by a titnilar
spirit of caution.
It toon became evident that, whatever the
man know or auspoctod of bit niastur'a pro
ceedings, lie wat not going to reveal anything
He did not deny, bowovor, that Mr. Fiulayaon
had beon away from borne a good deal during
bit wifo't absenco, and hit marked reserve
served to coutlrm bit mistress's suspicions.
'Your master loft early yesterday morning,
did be not. Himmonds?" said Mrs. Finlavson
What time did be leaver"
"He left the house shortly after half-pasl
six, ma am. repuea tno man sulkily.
-Hid be leave iu a cab?"
''Ho hailed one at the end of tbe square,
wat tounding my whistle on the doorstep wben
master hurried past me and said he could not
wait."
Poor Mrs. Finlayton't heart tank ou hearing
tlilt. These apparently trilling details fitted
in exactly with tlie cabin an s evidenco.
"Hi did your master take bit field glasses
with bim?" inquired Mrs. Finlavson, iu des
peration.
"I don't know, ma'am," replied the man
with strange deliberation, which belied bit
words, ,
Mrs. Fiulsyson asked nothing further, being
entirely convinced, not only of her husband'a
deceit but also that the man Simmonda waa bit
abbntor and accomplice'. Hhe began to reflect
seriously bow the should act in the picsent

both her temper and ber ttrongmindecluess.
Sho thought mora of ber wretchedness than of
venting ber righteous anger or indignation
npon ber ohVuding spouse. To add to ber
tribulation she wat troubled by self-upbraid'
ing thoughts, which accused her of having
linbitiisily presumed upon ber husband a easy
good nature, and of having probably by that
means alienated his anectiont from ber. This
bitter reflection materially increased ber nn
happiness, though it inclined her to forbear
ance and forgivenoss.
When ber husband returned in the evening
he found bor in teara. the picture of misery
and despair. Ho looked startled and uneasy
at the tight nf her distress, and nervously in
quired wimt ailed licr.
"Oh! Matthew, how ran you ask?" the ex
claimed, shrinking from bit embrace. "1
know the truth about yesterday. You have
boen deceiving me for a long timo."
'My love, 1 havo acted with tho best inten
tions," be answered eagerly. "I only wished
to spare von your brother's disgrace. Heaven
knows I have boen worried out of my lifo over
that wretched business, and was afraid 1
should not be able to avert a criminal prosecu
tion. However, I shipped him oft" to America
yesterday, and hoped you would never know
anything of tho matter.
"What! my brother, Hubert?" exclaimed
Mrs. Finlavson with a start.
'Yes. Evor since I put bim into our Liver

Mrs. Finluvson was silent for a moment, ren-
derod speechless by tho intensity of ber emo
tion. A humiliating souso of her own mean
ness and ingratitude caused a flush nf shame to
mount to lu-r cheek. She could not, however,
restrain herself from saving:
I had an idea Matthew, until now. that you
might liavu gone to Uoueaster yesterday."
Not I," replied her husband in evident sur
prise, "llut by Jove! ho added, rising and

To preserve eggs with salieviic acid the fol
lowing method it recommended: Dissolve a
tabh spoonfu! ot the acid in a gallon of boiling
water. Of course, if a greater quantity of
ater is required the acid must be increased in
proportion. When the solution is cold tt is
p"urul over the eggs, which are packed in a
an keg or barnl. A few small boards placed
on the top of the eggs will prevent tl.em fro n
ri-i 'g. The top of tho vessel must be covered
witn a cloth to keep out dust. Eggs so treated
bavo been found to keep for month. They
