.. Accidental Snooting.
Father Remmington, of this city, met
with an accident a little after 6 o'clock
this morning, that might have proved
quite serious. His grandson, a boy of
seventeen -years, had been trying to
shoot a squirrel that had been bothering
the chickens, when', the pistol prema
turely exploded and the ball passing
through the wall of the house, entered
the old gentleman's thigh about an inch
to the left of the medium line, passing
oat about the same point opposite. : The
ball did not strike the bone nor any of
the large blood vessels and Dr. Eshel
man who dressed the wound, anticipates
no serious results unless blood poisoning
should set in.- At last report the patient
was resting as well as could be expected.
Luncheon.
The home of Mrs. George P. Morgan
was, on Wednesday last, the scene of one
of the most enjoyable events in the an
nals of the- Ladies' Aid society of the
Congregational church. The occasion of
the event being the near departure of
one of their'loved members, Mrs. Drew.
It was planned as a complete surprise to
her, and after spending an hour or so in
the agreeable way which the ladies of
Aid Society know so well, Mrs. -Drew
was invited by Mrs. . Curtis to visit the
dining room, where, before her astonish
ed eyes, appeared two long tables, very
artistically arranged by Mrs. K. F. Gib
ons, extending the whole length of the
large dining room. Before each guest
was a lovely button-hole bouquet, sup
plied by Mrs. Marden. Juat before the
guests were seated one of the members
stepped forward and presented " Mrs.
Drew with a beautiful decorated souve
nir album, on' the pages of which were
written - words. of love and remem
brance by the members,- and if any one
had peered in the window at that timej
he would have seen more than 'one pafr
of eyes moistened by the thought of the
breaking of theties- which severed one
loved member from the rest. With a re
gretful good, bye to each other, and to
their perfect hostess, the ladies departed,
the following being present : Mrs. Isa
bella Gray, Mrs. S. K. Brooks, Mrs. C
Donnell, Mrs. W. S. Myers, Mrs. Drew,

Telegraphic flashes.
Secretary Blaine-appeared before the
senate commitee on commerce yesterday
and made a strong argument opposing
the pending resolution authorizing the
landing of the French' cable on the
shores of Virginia and South Carolina.
His objection was because . the French
cable company, co-operating with the
Brazilian government, had an absolute
monopoly of the cable privileges between
the United States and Brazil, and if the
resolution passed, the negotiations look
ing to the procurement ' of a concession
to the 'American cable company to enter
Brazil would come to naught. The sec
retary appeared to be In excellent health,
and made his argument with spirit and
emphasis.:, '
The delegates to Minneapolis from
New i York include Messrs. Hiacock,
Piatt, Depew and Miller, "the big four."
In Ohio, the fight for delegates to Min
neapolis between the friends of Foraker
and Sherman was settled by an arrange
ment to nominate McKinley, Foraker,
Bushnell and Hahn, thus dividing
evenly. In- Alabama two republican
conventions (split) were held, and two
sets of delegates chosen. . One set is in
structed for Harrison, and the other . set
is uninstructed. r .

'. ' Bow Ancient Dyes Were Secured.
. 'Two kinds of boring sea snails sup
plied in ancient times the most famous
of all dyes, known as Tyrian pnrple,
which was considered too splendid to be
worn by any but kings and nobles. One
pound of-wool dyed with it was worth
$175, the process by which it was ex
tracted being very . tedious and six
pounds-of dye liquor being required for
staining a pound of wool The liquor
was procured by placing the very .small
whelks .in a mortar and crushing them.
To this the animals extracted from the
larger shells were added, as well as cer
tain proportions of urine and water in
which the snails had been allowed to
putrefy. In the mixture thus com
pounded the cloth or wool to be dyed
was 6oaked. being afterward exposed to
light. Chemists say that by this proc
ess . there was effected a transformation
of uric acid into purpura te of ammonia,
termed --for short "murexide," because
one of the two species of snails used was
the murex. The other species was what
is known as the purpura
. The . murex and purpura were mixed
in the process in' the proportion of two
to one. -. Fabrics thus dyed VaA a very
surprising and beautiful effect of color,
presenting metallic1 green reflections
from one point of . view and ' in others
showing brown and purple tints. Chem
ists for some time imagined that the
iridescence of the feathers of humming
birds and peacocks was caused by a sub
stance of the nature of murexide, but it
is known now that these brilliant hues
are occasioned by a structure of the
feathers which' breaks up the light.
Murexide is now obtained from guano
as well as from mollusks. Interview in
Washington Star. :
Reckless Waste of Flowers.
The extravagant use . of ' flowers" in
fashionable circles is almost reckless.
Evidently the tender feeling of the late
Lord Lytton toward the lovely blossoms
has little counterpart. "What," said
he, "have . the flowers done that they
should be consigned to graves and
vaults?" : And, . .respecting his wishes,
Lady Lytton permitted not the smallest
rosebud nor tiniest violet to be placed in
his coffin. - -
Costly and beautiful boxes and bas
kets of flowers are sent to sick friends,
to be carefully banished from the sick
room and -waste their, sweetness unno
ticed' and unappreciated anywhere; at
every feast and function flowers are
everywhere, and are often glanced at
-only to estimate their cost; some esthet
ic hostesses, m lieu-of bowls and vases
scattered through the rooms, strew the
flowers . loosely about. without water to
revive .f their drooping beads, and in
consequence they quickly fade, and die.
One even went so far as to toss them on
the divans and - throw them over the
rugs for seated and trampling guests to
bruise 7 out their delicate fragrance.
Could.anything be more barbarous?. -To
real flower lovers this wasteful profu
sion . approaches a sin. Her' Point of
-View in New Y.ork Times. ' .
' i" ,Th Scorpion's Wonderful Ear. .'; '
I have studied the habits of the scor
pion for many years, ' and have often
noticed how very sensitive scorpions are
tor the?, most delicate ' sound, musical
or otherwise.. - Under ?the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike appendages,,
which are the antennas (pectinatae). It is
pretty well settled by physiologists and
entomologists that in . insects the an
tennas represent ' the -organs of. hearing.
These - delicate structures - are. easily
affected by the vibrations of sound, and
there can be- no doubt .whatever .that
they are also affected . by sounds quite
inaudible to the human ear. "
The slightest vibration of. the at
mosphere, from' any cause whatever, at
once puts in motion the delicate struct
ures which- compose the -atennaa, to
which organs . insects owe the power of
protecting themselves against danger,
as well as the means of recognizing the
approach of one another. London Spec

What May Be Read from Kails. -
" A person of broad finger nails is of
gentle nature, timid and bashful. Those
whose nails grow into the flesh at the
points or sides are given to luxury" A
white mark on the nail bespeaks misfor
tune. Persons with very pale nails are
subject to much infirmity of the flesh
and persecution by neighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambitious
and quarrelsome. . -Lovers of knowledge
and liberal sentiment have round nails.
Indolent people have generally fleshy
nails. Small nails indicate Littleness of
mind, obstinacy' and conceit. Melan
choly persons are distinguished by their
pale or lead ' colored nails and choleric,
martial. men. delighting in war, havered
and spotted nails. Worcester Light.
The Average. Life Is Thirty-eight Tears.
The arinual mortality of the entire
human race amounts, roughly speaking.
to 83,000,000 persons.: This makes the
average deaths per. day over 91,000, be
ing at the rate of 8,730 - an hour, or
63 people every minute of the day and4
night the year round. A fourth of the
race die before-completing their eighth
year, and one-half before the end of the
seventeenth, year, but the average dura
tion of life is about thirty-eight yeacs.
