It costs the United States abont sixty cents a month to take care of a dead sol dier who lost his life in the service of the Onion. , The sundry civil bill passed by congress appropriated $100,000 for ex penses of the national cemeteries daring the fiscal year. In addition to this there was the sum of $76,000 set aside for sal aries of superintendents of these burying grounds, and there were also some odds and ends, amounting to several thousand dollars, for supplying headstones where they were lacking, and so forth. The government takes charge of all these cemeteries, which are under the direct control of the quartermaster gen eral of the army. There are eighty-two of them in all, including an aggregate of 827,000 burials. The smallest of the burying grounds is at Ball's Bluff, where twenty-five Federal warriors are in terred, only one of them identified. The next smallest is the old battle ground on Seventh street in this city. It would be much cheaper to remove the bodies rest ing at both these places to other loca tions, but sentiment accords to them a claim to remain where they fell in brave fight . So, although only forty-three are buried at " the battle ground, a superin tendent is maintained there in charge at a salary of sixty dollars a month and with a house free for his occupancy. The superintendents, as decreed ' by law, are all disabled veterans, none' others being elegible for the positions, and their pay . is, according to the size of the cemeteries they have charge of, sixty, sixty-five, eventy and seventy-five dollars a month. Thus theyare divided into four classes Washington Star. An Old Cure for Diphtheria. The most successful cure for diphtheria ss one of the old woman remedies left over from the last century. Medical sci ence can t tell why it is good, but the fact remains that it cures as many people a , drugs do. All the paraphernalia needed is a basin, some hot water and a good sited funnel. The basin must be filled three-quarters full with very hot water as hot as can be secured boiling. if possible. The patient takes the basin in his lap ana places the open end of the funnel in the water. Then he blows through the moutn of it.

AN ACCOUNT OF A MARRIAGE AMONG A WANDERING PEOPLE. Sow the Redoulns Celebrate an Engage . me-nt How the Bride Was Dressed. Wedded Without' Having Seen Her Pa tare Lord A Simple Feast. A Bedouin wedding, which 1 lately had the occasion to witness, took place in Ramleh, a seaside resort near Alexan dria, where many houses have a Bedouin ghafir, who pitches his tent near his master's house, and lives there with his i family and cattle, if he has any. I The bridegroom was the son of a friend's ghafir. Previous to the engage ment the father had obtained three days' leave on the plea of his going down to Alexandria for the choice of a daugh ter-in-law. On the evening of the third day several shots fired successively an nounced to the native Bedouins the gha fir's return and the happy result of his mission. The wedding was fixed for that day week. Groups of Bedouins hastened to an swer to the -invitation, and after some talking and shouting the men soon formed a ring and began clapping hands, the body keeping time to the movements of the hands by going upward and down ward. Now and then one of the fellows wailed forth a Bedouin song, while the others chorused. The women sat chat ting before the tent and occasionally filled the air with the shrill sound of the ziraleet. No refreshment was offered, and their sole eclairage was the moon, whose silvery light gave a weird aspect to the whole scene. After an hour's amusement the guests retired. The next evening the firing brought forth all the company of the preceding night. This time the great attraction was two dancing women, very pictur esquely dressed, and their faces covered with a soft black muslin. They entered the ring formed by the men, each of them holding a long staff an adjunct to the various movements of their figures. They went round and round, shaking their hips and leaning at different in tervals on their staffs, while the clapping of hands redoubled in whichever part of the ring the women approached. , 1 observed a young enthusiast take a handful of sand from where one of the women had trodden and kiss . it re peatedly. 1 noticed that the bridegroom was absent, and, asking for the cause, was informed that he was too bashful to appear. Two hours later the company dispersed to begin afresh at intervals during the short engagement. THE WEDDING. At last the eventful morning dawned. A new tent had been pitched for the yonng conple. while, in that of the old ones several cauldrons full of rice and water were boiling. When the rice, was done some oil was poured over it, and then very large wooden bowls were brought forward to receive the contents of the cauldrons. This formed the whole menu of the wedding breakfast, and was attended to by the bridegroom's mother, aided by some other matrons. The ghafir and the young people had gone to fetch the bride They had taken with them one of the ghafir's camels, which they had gaily decorated with red and bine cloth, and erected a canopy on its back to receive the bride. A large procession was formed, headed by horsemen and other Bedouins armed with' guns, which they fired frequently. The bride, completely hidden from sight by the curtains of the canopy, and fol lowed by the women, brought up tho rear. They went all over Ramleh, stop ping before every friend s tent to dance, tire and sing.' At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon the merry party arrived at the bridegroom's place. The latter had re mained at home. The father, who was holding the cam el's bridle, handed it over to his wife, who led the animal seven times around the bridal tent, each time accompanied by shots, which are the chief feature in a a Bedouin wedding. Finally the camel stopped before the entrance of the tent, and the bride was carried in by her mother-in-law THE BRIDE. 1 was curious to see her face, and, as I was asked to go in. 1 gladly accepted. The tent had two compartments and was quite devoid of furniture,' except some rugs and straw mattings, on one of which the bride sat surrounded by other women. She was a girl of fourteen, with regular features, beautiful black eyes and tatooed chin a most prevalent fashion among Bedouin women. She wore a long, dark red silk chemise, caught up at the waist with a deep sash. On her head she wore a dark 'blue veil, tied' with a red silk handkerchief. , beneath which very tine plaits of jet black hair came down in two bandeaux over her temples. After exchanging a few complimentary words with her, I withdrew, glad to escape the stifling atmosphere of the tent. A sheik had been called to perform the marriage contract, which took place between tho parents of both parties The, new couple were not present at the ceremony. The ghafir handed over to his sou's father-in-law 50 on condition that if later on the young wife should ask to be divorced, the money was to come back to its first owner; and if, on the contrary, the husband claimed a separation, t!e sum would re;sain with his father-in -law. .... During that time the guests had sat over their frugal meal, of. which they partook in groups of fonr or five persona around each wooden bowl. . Their fingers spared them the use of forks and spoons. While they were stiU occupied with ;their repast the bridegroom stole to the nuptial tent, where he saw his wife for the first time. .Half an hour afterward J mo uuisy party oroae up ana quiet reigned r-Loudon Queen. i ' ' ' ' . j.

San Francisco Argonaut THE LAND OF INVERTED ORDER. Queer Freaks of Nature Seen in Anr tralia and Vicinity. In the following it is proposed to prove that Australia can bo termed, "The Land of Inverted Order." In the Antipodean wilds of. that new South Pacific repuW lie everything has pome remarkable characteristic peculiarity. Instead of the leaves having their flat sides turned to the ground they stand edgewise. The opossum of America is the only species of paunched animal known to the world outside of Australia. On the Australian continent there are at least 110 species having that distinguishing peculiarity. ' . They have been arranged into five tribes, according to the food they eat. The root eaters (wombats), the fruit eat ers (phalangers). the grass eaters (kan garoos), the insect eaters and the fish eaters (native cats and rats). Of the wombats there are four species, all of which burrow in the ground. Two other very curious animals are found in Australia that are unknown in anv other nart of t.h wnrlil Th ooa urn I the echidna and the ornithorhynchus. I This latter is a species of beast shaped like a beaver, but having web feet and a bill like a duck. Then there is a flying mouse, about; half the size of our com mon mouse and bf a bright red color. It has a very long, furry tail, which is used as a rudder and looks much like a feather when fully expanded. ' The trees are always in full leaf, but shed their bark every year, which fact alone would be sufficient to make the Antipodean continent a wonderland. The leaves of nearly all the trees are highly aromatic, but the native flowers, though of most brilliant tint, have no fragrance whatever. In writing of the backward order of things in Australia, Mr. M. W. Ullathorne says: Australia is the antipode of the en tire world. In that country a rising barometer indicates rain, and a falling barometer fair weather. The swans are blank and the eagles white: the mole is oviparo.ts and has a duck's beak: the dogs have a wolfs head, a fox's tail, and never bark. They also have a bird with a tongue like a broom, and a fish which has part of the body belonging to the genus Kaia and part to the genus Squale. Many winged serpents are found there and fish with large feathery wings. The emu is a bird as large as an ostrich, but instead of feathers has hair. ' One bird has a note like a bell, another cries like a child, while a third laughs as though his sides would split. St. Louis Re public. Hawthorne. " , Ancestry and local surroundings, men tal gifts and mental defects, unite to make- Hawthorne the greatest master of the preternatural, the magician of the spell of supernatural awe. From every side come the elements which produce the effect of unsubstantiality his power of pensive brooding, the brown twilight color which wraps his figures in a strange, hazy atmosphere, the coldness of his analysis, the self possession of his style, the indefiniteness of his touch, the inder terminateness of his end. His heroes and heroines have little warmth; they scarcely talk like ordinary men and women; they move self consciously; they speak constrainedly, as though there is something present which reads their thoughts, notes their gestures, registers their actions. The human interest is never so over powering as to break through the film of tho atmosphere. A master of the by play of suggestion, his hints meet us at every turn. His subtle mind and pic torial imagination give ghostly signifi cance to the commonest objects. He works out the central idea in marvelous detail, never presenting it nakedly, but always giving it concrete shape, exhibits it from fresh points of view, offers it in new combination, till the reader ends by feeling that he is himself haunted by the impalpable, inevitable presence of Hawthorne's thought. Edinburgh Re view. ' ' Cause of White Hair After liurnins. ' Says Dr. Leonard, in explaining the cause of the growth of white hair after burns or abrasions of the scalp: "The burn or inflammatory action has ex tended deep enough to destroy the top of the papilla, but not enough to implicate the base, and hence a white hair is the result. If we represent the papilla in the follicle diagrammatically by the let ter A, then that portion above the cross bar in the letter will represent . the color forming part of the papilla: that below, the hair forming portion." It is very remarkable that every burn or abrasion of the scalp resulting in the growth of white hair should be so ac curately graduated as to just take off the top of the papilla so remarkable, in fact, that we venture to doubt it and to set forth a different view of the color producing process in the hair.

Lord Chesterfield. A City Victim. - It is not always the countrymen who are victimized by unscrupulous confidence men. - I lately became acquainted with the case of a young married lady who has re sided in this city all her life, but whose knowledge of its ways was not sufficient to warn her of its rascality. Her husband's business compels him to be away from New York for several months at a time. Duriutr his recent absence she was visited by a vvery gentlemanly appearing perron, who persuaded the servant to allow him into the parlor by the statement that he had called on important business. When the lady of the house came down he whispered to her in an impressively mysterious way that he was a private de tective, and that in the course of bis pro fession he had gained possession of some facts about her during her husband's ab sence which would distress that gentleman very much. The rascal then detailed the particulars of .his story, which, however false, was cleverly constructed and showed that he had made himself in some measure acquaintedwith the friendships and the social visits of his victim. Of course she should have had the fellow arrested at once. But she was thoroughly frightened at his manner and horrified by what he said. She hurriedly gave him all the money she had at the time, and not until he had gone did she realize the complete folly of her act. New York Recorder. A Sew Electric Foe; Signal. A fog signal has been invented by Mr. Norman Staniland, of Bath; England. The apparatus for carrying and exploding the cartridges is fixed on the locomotive and is adapted to be worked by the compressed air or vacuum of the brake reservoirs. An outer fixed cylinder has a smaller cylinder sliding into it, this latter having a tube fixed diametrically across it. The com pressed air can only escape to the atmos phere through this cylinder and lube. The compressed air first' forces acartiidge from the magazine into the tube, thus closing egress of the compressed air. The inner cylinder is then forced along till the cart ridge in the tube is in a safe position for firing. In moving up the two needles have been forced into the cartridge. ' An electrical contact wheel is suspended from the locomotive. When this comes on a rail fixed for the purpose an electrical circuit is closed and a spark sent between the two needles. The cartridge is exploded, allowing the compressed air to escape, and the tube is pulled back by a spring, to re peat the operation.' The moving parts are simple and the working is free from shocks. The electrical apparatus consists of a bat tery and a small sparking coil carried on tho engine, New York Telegram. " A brother of Mark Twain is an attorney in Keokuk, the old home of the humorist.
