Though one of the most nervous singers) that ever went before an audience, Brignoli in his way was one of the most conscien tious. He refused to sinij if he did not feel that his voice was in a condition to do jus tice to the song and to himself. Ho wag firm believer in homoepathy, and was never without two small vials, one containing bryonia and the other spongia, which he used alternately. His body servant, Bar bagelata, usually administered the drug. On one occasion it happened that Bai-ba-gdata gave him a larger quantity of bryo nia than he had asked for; but, like the faithful servant that he was, he informed his master of the mistake. Brignoli was furious. He thought he was a dead man. Be raved and stormed and swore as only he could swear. Barbagelata, thinking to re lieve his mind, swallowed the entire con tents of the phial. "lou see, tsiguor Brignoli, there Is no harm in the medicine," he said. "Ah, my Godl" cried Brignoli, forgetting his own danger at once, "you are a dead man. w bat nave you done?" All the doctors in the neighborhood were tent for and all had to testify that the drug was harmless before Brignoli would believe that Barbagelata could survive. New York Tribune. How Milk Is Condensed. When condensed milk was first intro duced 30 years ago, the idea was laughed at. The Inventor carried the entire daily sup ply for New York city in a 10-quart pail, delivering it personally to hiB patrons. Ho died worth 7,000,000, made out of the busi ness, which has grown to be a gigantic in dustry. The processes employed are very simple, the fresh milk being put into a great copper tank with a steam jacket. While it is being heated, sugar is added, and the mixture is then drawn oil into a vacuum tank, where evaporation is pro duced by heat. The vacuum tank will hold perhaps 0,000 quarts. It has a gloss window at the top, through which the ope rator In charge looks from time to time. He can tell by the appearance of the milk when the time has arrived to shut off the X m, and this must be done just at the ' ght moment else the batch will be spoiled. Next the condensed milk is drawn into 40 quart cans, which nre set in very cold spring water, where "they are made to revolve rapidly by a mechanical contrivance, in or der that their contents may cool evenly. San Francisco Examiner. Mice That Subsist on Soorpions. Among the queer forms of animal life that inhabit Deulth valley is a mouse that has acquired such a taste for scorpions that they form its entire bill of fare. The scor pion carries its formidable armament in the end of its slender, elongaged abdomen in the shape of an exceedingly venomous, hooked sting. When disturbed, it elevates this in the air and goes in search of its dis turber. But it is comparatively slow In its motions, while mice are proverbial for their quickness the world over. The mouse learned many generations ago where the scorpion carries its weapon, and when he meets it he leaps at the uplifted abdomen, takes off the sting at a single bite and pro ceeds to make a meal of his helpless prey. It is supposed to be the only animal thai relishes scorpions. Sports Afield. A WASHINGTON SCANDAL. Senator Stewart Objects to Joining Colonel Breckinridge In Coventry. The venerable Senator William SI. Stew art of Nevada is the latest shining mark In publio life for the shafts of social scan dal, but the senator objects to joining Colo nel Breckinridge in Coventry and re plies vigorously to his accusers. One would think that Senator Stewart is old enough and dignified enough to escape the wiles of designing women, but if the senator's version of tho caso bo true ho is the viotim of a conspiracy as deliberate and heartless as that which iinbittorcd Simon Cam eron's old ago or the lawsuit that gave Bon Hill such unpleasant notorloty short ly beforo ho retired from the senate. Tho case against Sonntor Stewart, brlofly put, is just this: Charles L. Glasscock, a resident of Wnshinatnn of uncertain nntn edents and rat her dubious reputation, has brought suit for divorce from bis wife, naming Stowart as corespondent. Glass cock oliarges tho Novada sonator with alienating his wifo's affections and admits that it would take a good many pieces of tho senator's silver to heal his wounds and repair his honor. Senator Stewart denounces the whole affair as a conspiracy to extort blackmail, He says: "My first meeting with this woman was when she camo to mo with a pitiful tale about her poverty and asked for money. She sulci that she was without fuel at her homo, while her children wore sufforing from tho cold. I pitied her and gave her $5. Later she sent her little girl to mo with a noto saying that two of her children wero ill with typhoid fovor, and sho had no monoy with which to buy them medicine. I gave the little girl somo mon ey for hor. ''From time to time she besought me to aid her, always-telling mo some pitiful tale of sufforing and distress. Finally t received a note from her which I thought threatening in tone, and I paid no atten tion to It. She called at tho capital to see me, and I told her that I regarded her note as threatening, and that if she want ed any more charity Bho would have to ap ply to Mrs. Stowart for it. From that time on I received similar letters from the woman, and these letters nre on file at the courthouso with the papers in the caso and In duo time will bo made public They will show the womnn's true character. She wrote me that I had more to lose than sho had and said that in view of the exposures in tho Breckinridge case the peo ple would not believe any denials. "I havo had this woman's chnraeter bunted up. Sho came to my office time and timo ngain and tried to get in the room with mo while hor husband was waiting bolow. She brought hor little girl with her. Tho plan was for hor to force ber way into the room, have the lit- Oh. it was but a dream I had While the musician played! And here the sky, and here the glad Old ocean kissed the glade And here the laughing ripples ran. And here the roses grew That threw a kiss to every man That voyaged with the crew. Our silken sails in lazy folds Drooped in the breathless breeze. As o'er a field of marigolds Our eyes swam o'er the seas; While here the eddies lisped and parted Around the island's rim. And up from out the underworld We saw the mermen swim. And It was dawn and middle day And midnightfor the moon On silver rounds across the bay Had olimbed the skies of June And here the glowing, glorious king Of day ruled o'er his realm. With stars of midnight glitteriag About his diadem. The sea gull reeled on languid wing In circles round the mast, We heard the songs the sirens sing As we went sailing past. And up and down the golden sands A thousand fairy throngs Flung at us from their flashing hands The echoes of their songs. Oh, it was but a dream I had While the musician played! For here the sky and here the glad Old ocean kissed the glade And here the laughing ripples ran. And here the roses grew That threw a kiss to every man That voyaged with the crew.

Dr. Harrisse, like most men. was fond of a pretty face, and when he caught one glimpse of Lucille's as the wind blew her veil aside on the homeward trirj of the Malta he wished he was her cousin or the stout ship surgeon who dared offer her his arm for a promenade. There was something almost familiar in the face too. Where had he met her? At what german or reception, in the salons of the best society or in the wards of some hos pital? Or was it only a trick of imagina tion? Had he waltzed with her at some seaside hop or tatcn her cut at c: state dinner or wedding breakfast? Dr. Harrisse was a bold man in his way. The few days on the Malta had hung like lead on his hands, there being but a handful of cabin passengers, and many of those without their sea legs. He was a man quick to think, but somewhat forgetful. His eyes met Lucille's. A smile of recognition illumined her face. He bowed confidently and advanced to ward her. I am happy to meet yon again." he aid nnblushingly. "Perhaps you find it as anil aboard as 1 dor If you are at your wits' end for amusement, as I am, I'm sorry for you," she said. "My poor aunt has not been able so far to lift her head from the pil low. Who the deuce do I know with the appendage of an aunt?' Harrisse men tally considered. "However, it doesn't signify if she is only amusing and the aunt is not an ogre." The ship s surgeon, Dr. Johns, con sulted his watch. "I'll be obliged to deliver you to the tender mercies of Dr. Harrisse, Miss Lindsay," he said as he hurried away. "You see I am lame still," she pres ently remarked. "Is it possible?" he returned, feeling as if he was groping in the dark. Had one of his acquaintances suffered an ac cident which had escaped his memory? She took it for granted that he was fa miliar with the circumstances. A mis step might expose him. "But doubtless it will wear off in time," he hazarded. "I fear not. You don't realize that the accident happened six years ago. I used it too soon. I must ride, you know, at that time or die. It was weak, and I got another fall and broke it again." "I am sincerely sorry to hear it," said Dr. Harrisse. Was it possible that he had known this blooming creature six years and had neg lected to cultivate her? Now he would learn by experience and make the most of the present. "Is this your first visit abroad?" "Yes. I have been away five years. I call Europe my schoolroom. I didn't know anything when I left America ex cept riding, you know. I was a perfect dunce. I have studied the arts and lan guages. I can sing and speak to you in five tongues." "With the tongues of men and angels, Fve no doubt. I can paint yon a picture that will not be half bad. Have I not used my opportunities? "I would to heaven I had used mine half so well." And then the interesting subject was allowed to drop. But Lucille and Dr. Harrisse had thousand other things to discuss. He delighted in a woman who dared to dis agree with him. They found that they had just missed each other at Inter- lachen; that he had only been prevented by a chance from joining the party with which she had made the ascent of Mount Blanc. They had mutual friends abroad, but still the great enigma, where he had known her in America, remained un solved. But he troubled himself very little bout it just now. He was drifting with the tide. He was passing through a new phase of existence. He had believed himself invincible, and, behold, he had been conquered by the "touch of hand turn of head." It was absurd perhaps for a man of his years to be so easily en chanted. He rather longed for the end of the voyage in order to discover if it was only the glamour of a pretty face and a sweet manner that infatuated him. He assured himself that it would. It seemed to Dr. Harrisse about this time that Dr. Johns was always joining them, that he had a weakness himself for Miss Lindsay, and Harrisse smiled, thinking how futile it was. "You remember Captain Hamertonr asked Dr. Johns on one of these occv dons, when the talk had somehow drift ed upon love aud marriage. "Oh, certainly," said Harrisse, wish ing Captain Kamerton and Dr. Johns were in the Red Kit, figuratively speak ing. "1 remember bim an ancient mar iner or somebody, eh?" aside, detaining her. r,Dr. Johns will De gone presently. Let us see the evening star come out together on the last night at sea," 'And I suppose he married her and lived happily ever after," said Harrisse, having carried his point and turning to Dr. Johns. No, she wouldn't marry him, but when he died he left her a fortune, and she left the profession." "And the Hamertons were of the May flower stock." "Do you know can you guess, Lucille can you guess who my love is?' "I was never good at enigmas, a little indistinctly, Dr. Harrisse, do you remember when you first met me?" "It seems to me that I have known yon always," he evaded. "I thought that you remembered when I first saw you here." "Could I ever forget you, Lucille?" "It seems so," smiling faintly. "But I have a confession to make." "So have I." "You will believe that I have deceived you." "If this be deception, let me be deceived forever." She smiled faintly. Here Dr. Johns joined them again. When they parted the next morning, he said: "I shall see you, if I may, at the first available moment in the week. If any thing prevents, I shall write." Sitting down to dine the following day with his bosom friend, he said: "Tom, you know everthiug and every body; can you toll me where I met a Miss Lucille Lindsay?" "She was the person Captain Hamer ton wanted to marry. You remember old Hamerton?" "Yes." "Forty years her senior. He tempted her with jewels as Faust tempted Mar guerite with kindness and luxury, but although she was only a poor little circus rider she wouldn't have him.

There is more lost in life from putting off from to-day till to-morrow what might be done on the instant than from any other cause. Fortune and fame have been thus wrecked, and in minor things it will not do to delay or trine. A man hobbling on crutches for the rest of his life, caused by sprain, would have been a well, sound man, out of misery, if he had used Bt. Jacobs Oil when the mishap occurred. It is never too soon to get it ; never too late to use it. The great remedy for pain never tarries; it will do its work in ten minutes if it is al lowed to do so. Treat pain as vou would a mosquito knock it out as soon as it bites. Hypnotism In a Dentlat's Offloe. Early in March I felt equal to a trial for anaesthetizing dentine for excavating, and then made the discovery that continuous suggestion makes it possible to keep a pa tient hypnotized and the dentine wholly or partially anaesthetized for the full prepara tion of a cavity during the light sleep of the first and second degrees. I am aot aware that this has ever been made success ful before. The hypnosis and the anaesthesia were maintained by a constant repetition of the words: "Sleep, sleep. You are resting; you ire not suffering; you are not dreading it: vou do not care for it. Sleep, sleep," and so on continuously so long as the conditio is desired. This is practically a continual n hypnotizing to offset the continual wak ing caused by the cut of the instrument. Sometimes the hypnosis will wear out In spite of continual suggestion, especially if the operator's attention is too wholly ab sorbed in the operation and his suggestions become weak. In such a case I stop and hypnotize again. I have hypnotized as many as six times at one sitting. If the sitting is long and the hypnosis deep, the patient is likely to get tired, and I have found it is better to wake them up at intervals for rest or suggest a ready change of position, but the waking is much better. By making this conservative use of hypno tism the patient in every Instance will feel rested and stronger at the close of the sit ting than before and will improve in cour age and quiet as the sittings succeed each other, and in many cases the need of hyp nosis will cease to exist, and the patient will Bubmit to the operation in the wakeful stats without shrinking. Thomas Huh brown, D. M. D., in Dental Review. Borne most excruciating pain comes from derangement of the kidneys. This is the testimony Senator Henry C. Nelson of New York as to the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters in such cases: "On the 27th of February, 1883, 1 was taken with a violent pain in the region of the ki-ineys. I suffered such agony that I could hardly stand up. As soon as possible I applied two illcock's Porous Plaster, one over each kidney, and lay down. In au hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had vanished, and I was well. I wore the plasters for a day or two as a precau tion, and then removed them. I have been using Allcock's Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years, and have al ways found them the quickest and best remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic affections.

One day he met Dr. Johns coming away from her presence. He had an air of suppressed excitement about him. It was a year since they had parted on the Malta. "The follow is almost hand some," thought Harrisse, "and he is in love with Lucille." He acted upon his determination to call, but Miss Lindsay was engaged with headache and begged Dr. Harrisse would excuse her.

The Tribune has found out somehow that there are in the world 600,000,000 of i fully olad peoplo, 70v,000,000 of partly clad people and 50,000,000 of naked people. We ' K u- .. l i i t any other reason. They do not ask ot her peo ple to go naked, and the other people have no business to ask them to wear things. There are lots of respectable men and wom en among the naked millions who mind their own affairs. We do not suppose that the men of the Niger and Congo would be willing to live in this world if they had to wear coats, vests, trousers, plug hata and leather boots, or that the women would find life tolerable if dressed up in gowns, bonnets, shawls, hoopsklrts and things. Most of the nude aud semlnude people of our race are in Africa, and they don't want us to bother them. Most of the clothed and semlclad people are in Asia, Europe and America, and they ought to be willing to let their African brethren enjoy the sun shine. Yet the people who wear clothes are perpetually urging the naked people to buy and wear them, it is impudence.

The ancient custom of whirling the teacup and telling fortunes by the dregs, teeing a kiss here, a ring there, clear sky, or tears, is now known as a part of the old divination which even the more en lightened of the heathen ridiculed. The notion of disaster with 18 at table has been exploded long ago; the idea that Friday is a day of ill luck, that any of God's days can be days of ill luck, ranks one adhering to it as among the low and ignorant. That one must not trim one's nails on Sunday, lest one do something one is ashamed of before the next Sunday; that the scissors dropping into the floor, in stead of upon it, announce a coming guest; that the rocking of an empty chair gives spiritual warnings; that the baying of a dog at night, the breaking of a looking glass, the putting on of an other's crape, all prophesy death the be lief in these 'and kindred superstitions and the expression or exercise of such belief gives one a low caste, and is no longer to be Indulged in with safety by those ambitious of social correctness ana elegance.
