Cibrario. belonging to one of tbe mot-t ancient families of Turin, while at tempting to climb the peak of Itoc ciamelone. iu the Maritime Alps, let! his way. and on the following mornicj; a search party found his body, terribly crushed and bruised, at the bottom ol a deep crevasse. . Count Cibrario, the - unfortunate young man's father, who was at Turin and knew nothing of his son's expedi tion to the Rocciamelone. on the nihl of the accident aroused the rest of the family, announcing, with tears thai Livio was dead. He had seen him dis tinctly, he said, blood flowing from hit battered head, and had heard these words spoken in a voice of terrible anguish: "Father, I slipped down a precipice and broke my head, and I am dead, quite dead." The other members of the family tried in vain to persuade the poor count that the ghastly vision was nothing but a nightmare, and the bereaved father continued in a state of anxiety border ing upon distraction till the morning, when the official confirmation of the terrible accident reached him. This case of telegraphy, or whatever name may be given to similar phenom ena, is considered all the more remarka able, as Count Cibrario is a very quiet, matter-of-fact person, and has never suffered from disorders of the nervous system or dabbled in spiritualism. ODDITIES OF DIET. Different Article of Food Consid ered Edible by tbe People of Various Nations. Among-the various nations there have been great differences as to articles con sidered edible, and, of course, among such an could be procured. The. Tar tars. Marco Polo says, ate horses, cam els, dogs and drank mares milk. The Scythjans also, according to Herodotus, drank mares' milk. In China birds' nests, rats and snails are eaten.' The edible birds nests are found in the Nico bars, a cluster of islands in the Bay of Bengal. These nests, built by the Nic obar swallows, form one of the princir j si exports of the islands. The Greer. landers depend largely on seals.. The ancient Germans, according to Tacitus, ate wild apples,- flesh and cheese. In Abyssinia the natives cut steak from tLe live cow; accord in ft to Bruce, ar.d ate the meat warm with . the natural heat, says Lippincott's. Among the Egyptians near Elephan tine the crocodile was an article of food. Ihe Egyptians thought wheat and bar lf y poor food ; they ate principally spelt and zea. Tme priestsate beef, geese, and took wine, but not fish. The Egyp tians did not eat beans or raise them. They did not eat the head of any crea ture. They ate honey and raisins. Among them no cattle were killed ex cept for sacrifice. They ate sheep and goats, and. swine's flesh only when of fered to Bucchus and Luna. They had no vines, but made a liquor from bar ley. They ate fish fresh and salted, or dried in tie sun; also quail and ducks. EXPENSIVE POPULARITY. Indiana. Singer Who Resides Chicago Has a. Costly Prom ise to Fulfill. la One of the best known singers of Chi cago came from a city of 25,000 popula tion in Indiana, says the Chicago Jour nal. - He had lived in the Hoosier town un til after he was of age, and was a great social as well as church favorite. Uis ienor voice was soft and tender, and no funeral of any prominent citizen was held without his presence. Often, when he made calls, the older women of the city would make him promise that he would sing at their funerals. He al ways promised. The tenor came to Chicago five years ago, and by hard study made his way to front But now his promises are beginning to count. About once every two months he gets a telegram announcing .the death of some old friend in the Indiana city- one at whose funeral he promised to sing. So the tenor packs his valise and goes So far he has always paid his own ex penses, but he hopes some day that some wealthy resident of the Hoosier place will remember him in a last will and testament. . Sailors' I.ove of Animals. An incident illustrating the sailors' attachment for nnimats recently was reported in the London Times, Tbe item was as follows: "As Commander Lewis Blackburn, ot the cruiser Ulen heim, was leaving. the hulk Itoyal Ade Jaiae, in Chatham dock yards, on tbe night of November 24, a ga'zeHe which he had recentlynroughtfrom abroad ran to meet him. and while fondly rub bing against him fell overheard. Com mander Blackburn, who was in full uni form, promptly plunged into the basin although the risk was great, the night being intensely dark and there being chains between the Adelaide and other ships.
