3'car of Insanity -I.04 of Kelt-Control.
Sturvy Sulnlde.
You ennnot I magi no tho misery of pro
longed conflncment in a cnscmito of tbo
fortress under what are known on dungeon
conditions (kartsernoi polozlienle). My caso-
rnato was sometimes cold, generally damn,
and always gloomy. Day after day, week
after week, and month after month, I lay
there In soliuiilo, hearing no sound savo that
of the high pitched, melancholy bells of tho
fortress cathedral, which slowly chimed the
quarter hours, and which always seemed to
mo to half articulate tho words, "Tee zdals
scedesh eo seedeo tec." (Hero thou Host Ho
here still). I had absolutely nothing to do
except to pace my cell from corner to corner
and think. For a long titno I used to talk to
myself In a whisper; to rcjnt softly every
thing in tho shape of llteraturo that I could
remember, and to comioso 8eochus, which,
tinder certain imagined conditions, I would
deliver; but I finally ceased to havo energy
enough to do even this, and used to sit for
hours in u sort of tupor, in which, so far as
I can now remember, I was not conscious of
thinking at all.
WEAK, MENTALLY AND niVSICALLT.
JUeioro tno end of tno iirst year 1 grow so
weak mentally and physically that I began
to forget words. I knew what ideas I de
sired to express, but somo of tho words that
I needed hod gono from mo, and it was with
xbo greatest Ullllculty that I could recover
them. It seemed sometimes as if my own
language were a strango ono to mo, or one
"which, from long disuse, I had forgotten.
I greatly feared insanity, and my appro
tension was increased by the fact that two
or throe of my comrades in cells on tho same
corridor were either In.wno or subject to hal
'lucinatlons; and I was often roused at night
-and thrown into a violent chill of nervous
excitement by their hysterical wocping, their
cries to tho guard to como and tako away
;omobody, or something, which they ira
agined thoy saw, or their groans nnd en
treaties when, in cases of violent delirium,
thoy were strapped to their IknIs by tho
, gendarmes. My inability to so what was
'happening in the cells from which theso
groans, cries and sounds of violcnco camo
gave full play, of course, to my imagina
tion, and thus increased my nervous excite
ment, until I was on tho verge of hysteric
anyself.
Bevorul times, when I feared thnt I was
losing all tolf control, I summoned tho fort
ress surgeon, or tho "fcldsher," who mcroly
gave mo a doHO of bromide of potassium and
told mo that I must not oxcito myself so;
that nothing serious had happoued; that two
'or three of the prisoners wero sick and deliri
ous; but that thoro was nothing to be
. alarmed about. As tho fort reas contained no
hospital, insiino and delirious patients wero
'trcaUsl iu their cells, and woro rarely ro
.movod to an asylum unless thoy wore niani
'festly incurable, or the caro of them became
''burdensome. Tho Direct of tho eternal still
lucsx, solitude, and luck of occuiuttion on tho
mil! was greatly heightened by tho want of
projier cxerciso and nourishment for tho
hody. "Accused" prisoners awaiting trial
in tho Trubutskol bastion wero allowed to
havo money in tho hands of tho "siuatritel,"
or warden, and could direct its expenditure
tor white bread, vegetables, tea, sugar, etc.,
to make up tho deficiencies of tho prison ra
tion; but wo, tho "condemned," had to livo
upon black ryo bread, soup which it was
often impassible to cat on account of tho
spoiled condition of tho moat from which it
luul been utado, and a small quantity of
"kasha," or U-irloy, boiled with a littlo fat
and served without seasoning, and sometimes
only half cooked.
ATTACKED UV SCVnVY.
'Such food, iu connection with tho damp,
"heavy nir of tho casemate and tho lack of
proper oxorcUe, cnused ilerangenient of tho
dlgcstivo organs, and tlui was soon followed
by moro or less pronounced symptoms of
curvy. Madame Lok leva, who was iu tho
penal servitude section with mo, suffered
from scurvy to such an extent that hor teeth
bocumu looso and her gums greatly swollen,
and sho could not tmutlcate tho prison bread
without first soaking it iu warm water.

primarily to other causes and made it almost
insupHrtablo. I never seriously meditated
suicide it always seemed to mo a cowardly
thing to escaH sulTerlng by taking ono's own
Jifo but I diil speculate upon the iKwslblllty
of suicide, and wondered how I could kill
myself iu a casemate where thoro was abso
lutely nothing that could I hi used as uu 1m
plomont of (lf-ilwtructiou.
Onco I went so far us to see if I could hang
myself from the Mimll cylindrical hot air
pipe which projected two or tlnvo Inches into
my coll from tho faro of tho brick oven. I
did not really Intend to take my life, but I
felt a morbid curiosity to know whether or
Jiot I could do it in that way. As soon as I
throw my weight on tho plie, It pulled Out
tho moHonry, making, as it fell to tho lloor, a
noUo which uttractul tho attention of tho
guard iu tho corridor. I was forthwith re
moved to auothci cell, and I never again
tried n similar exvriineiit. They say that
jxxir Goldenberg Mieivoded in committing
suicido in tho fortress, but I cannot imagine
liow ho uccomplishetl iu I became satisfied
Unit I could not kill myself in my casemate
in any other way than by biting into an
artery or dashing my head against tho wall,
and I ultimately became so w eak that I doubt
very much whether I could have fractured
my skull by tho latter method. Georgo Ken

THE BUFFALO QUESTION.
A Solution Which Minulit He Adopted at
Onco A .Mnnltotm Herd.
Tlicrc is no question in Taxidermist
Richardson's opinion that tho buffalo in
now well nigh extinct on the plains,
Thero are a few In Yellowstone park pro'
tected by the government, but they nro
likelv to bo killed at anytime. In Texns
a herd of nlxntt tliirtj is owned by ono
-ranchman; several other hinall bunches
may Ikj found, but the days when they
rambled at large over tho country havo
been numbered. Unless some means of
protecting them ia adopted within ten
years the American bison must become
an extinct Bjiocicw. In Central park Di
rector Conklin litis several gtiecitiictis of
buffalo, but tho cow is growing old nnd
nuothnr ono has not leeii secured. The
buffalo will not breed in captivity unless,
like other domestic animals, it has abun
dant room for feeding nnd exercise. In
Central park the animals are confined in
narrow stalls because the space at tho
disposal of tho manager is so cramped.
There is a practical solution of tho buf
falo question, Mr. Richardson thinks,
which, if adopted at once, may prevent
tho extinction of tho animal. Tho buf
faloes aro easily domesticated, and if ac
customed from birth to domestic sur
roundings, they become quite as easy to
control as ordinary domestic cattle. In
tho northwest, whero tho winters aro
long and tho thermometer sinks below
zero at tho slightest provocation, buffalo
sulwist without nny discomfort, while tho
winters there are generally fatal to
domestic cattlo unless housed and looked
after with the greatest care.
"In Manitoba, " said Mr. Richardson,
"thero is a herd of about fifty buffaloes
owned by S. L. Bedson. Ernest E.
Thompson, who is assisting mo in the
museum, lias written an interesting ac
count of them in u recent pamphlet on
the "Mammals of Manitoba.' A portion
of this herd are half breeds, crossed with
common cattle, another portion aro three
quarters bred, and tho rest aro puro
blood. It may bo a question whether
tho puro breed will continue itself, but it
certainly could lxs maintained if looked
after. This herd has developed from
five buffalo calves, brought by somo In
dinns from Winniiieg in 1878. It re
quires no caro lieyond what is necessary
to keep tho different animals from wan
dering or being stolen or shot. Tho buf
fnloes nro as hardy as in their wild state.
Mr. lliompson saw them iato m Janu
ary last year, when thoy wero nblo to dig
down in tho snow and iind grass enough
to keep them fnt. Duriuir n blizzard
they would lio down in a group, with
their backs to tho wind, nnd let tho snow
drift over them. Tho snow and their
woolly coats kept them jwrfectly com
fortable. In January, 1881, ono of tho
cows calved in tho open prairio, whero
tho thermometer registered 118 (legs, bo
low zero, and both cow and calf survived
and did not appear to stiller.
''It seems to mo that this is an import
ant question for tho farmers of tho north
west, nnd tho national government ought
to take measures for tho encouragement
of tho raising of buffalo stock. An ordi
nary cowhido is worth $2, but it is uso
less as n robe, while nu nverago builulo
hide is wortli if 10 and, as n robe, is al
most indispensablo in tho northern cli
mate. Tho butriilo sheds its woolly hair
onco n year. This wool is etisily gath
ered, and it works up well into a course
yarn. Ono animal will yield ten to
twelvo pounds of raw wool. At one
time thero wero fnctories for tho manu
facture of buffalo wool, but thoy havo
disappeared with tho buffalo. Tho wool
of tho hybrid nniinnl becomes darker nnd
finer, nnd tho buffalo hump disappears in
tho mixed breed. Tho uniinnl itself bo
conies more docile, though retaining its
hardihood, nnd is a better milker than
the puro buffalo. This cross breeding
nfTords a wide opportunity for stock
raisers." Now York Tribune.

Ernst von Hesso Wnrtegg in Tho Century.
"I first bognn diving in 1BG3," said Capt.
Antnony iv imams, ino famous English diver.
"1 was n wrecker then, and was raising
sunken ship oil' tho coast of Cornwall. I had
working for mo a diver who seemed a very
lazy, careless sort of a fellow. 1 was paying
him by tho day, and onco, after being under
water for a long time, ho came up and re
ported very littlo progress in his work. I was
angry and expressed myself strongly, lio
retorted with: "Try it yourself if you can
oo nny tetter.'
" 'AH right,' said I, Mot mo have your div-
ing dress and I will try it myself.' Ho
thought I was only joking, but I wasn't. Ho
doffed the dress, I put it on and down I went.
I discharged him when I came up and have
been doing my own diving ever since.
"Did you over see a diving dress? No?
Then I will put mino on nnd givoyou an idea
of one," nnd tho captain retired to his state
room, whence ho presently emerged in full
Hiving costume, except tho heavy cast iron
helmet, which several of tho comiMiny raised
irom tno deck nnd placed upon him, thus
making his outfit complete. Tho dress is
really two dresses, ono within tho other, each
I of India rubber. Tho stocklucs. tmnts and
snirt are an made together as ono garment,
which tho diver enters at tho neck, feet first.
Tho hands aro left bare, tho wristbands of
tho rubber shirt sleeves tightly compressing
tho wrists. There is a copiwr breast plate,
bearing upon its outer convex surfaco small
screws, which aro adjusted through holes in
tho neck of tho shirt", which by means of
nuts fastened upon the screws, is hold so
lirmly In place as to render tho entiro dress.
from tho nock downward, absolutely air and
water tight. Fitting with equal closeness
to this breast plate is tho helmet mentioned
above, it completely encloses tho head, and
is supplied with threo glasses ono in front
nnd one at each sido to enablo tho diver to
look in any direction. A pair of very thick
leather shoes, nmdo to lace up tho front, and
supplied with heavy leaden solos, complotos
"Xou soo," said tho captain, when his
helmet had boon removed, nfter everybody
had had ample tlmo to criticiso his appear
ance in it, "it takes about fifteen minutes to
put thoso togs on, and when the diver is
rigged in them all but tho helmet thero nro
placed across uis shoulders ropes sustaining
two leaden weight, one hanging at his back,
tho other at his breast. He then goes down a
ladder inte the wuter up to his armpits, and
then the holmo is placed on him, tho glass in
front is screwed in place, and when every
thing is mado ready ho is made owaro of tho
lact by a blow on tho top of tho helmot Ho
then goes down by means of n ropo previously
lowered, hand under hand, to tho bottom of
tho sea. Sometimes, in very strong curronts
it is necessary to muko tho weights extraor
dinarily heavy in order to hold tho diver
down, notwithstanding tho fact that tho
dress alono weiglis nearly 200 pounds, and
yet I do not feel tho weight of it down
among tho fishes nny moro than I do that of
an ordinary suit of clothes out of tho water.
It was invented in Switzerland by a nativo
of that country named Bauer, who spent a
small competency in having it patented and
in trying to bring it into uso, but he died a
disappointed, heart broken pauper, leaving
others to reap tho benefit of his invention."
"Can you breathe as freely in your diving
dress as you can out of itf
"Yes, indeed. When ten or twelvo fath
oms under water my breathing is ns wholly
dovoid of offort as it is when I am walklnir
about on' dry lnnd You know that by
means of an air pump, worked by two men,
tho divor is supplied with nir. Through a
hoso this air passes into tho back of his hel
met, and near its placo of entrance is a
spring vnlvo for its cscuc. This valvo can
bo controlled by tho divor, but ho usually
sets it beforo going into tho water, aud sel
dom disturbs it afterward. Tho pressuro of
tho air being greater than that of tho water,
a surplus or tho former readily escartes.
When this vnlvo is not sufficient, tho diver
can opeu iu his breastplate n similar spring
vnlvo, intended only for such nn omorgeucy.
He can also regulate tho amount of air
pumped to him by signnls upon tho nir hoso
to tho men engaged iu pumping. Ono pull
ujkmi tho hoso means moro nir; two pulls,
less air, aid two pulls and ,a shako, "I want
to como up." Thoso signnls on the air hoso
nro generally used by all divers, but each
ono of us has his own private codo of signals
on tho life line, which is always fastened to
tho diver's wnist, and by means of which ho
is drawn up out of water. Theso sienals

under tho circumstances. He then retired to
an adjoining room for consultation, return

"Whero is ymir clientf asked the judge,
"He has gone," quietly replied the young
lawyer.
"Gone! Why, what do you mean, sirT
"Why, your honor told mo to give him th

A ItnniHiice that Didn't I'nn Out.
Her father was a millionaire, whoso life
had been devoted to caudle making. He was
practical naturally, hut all the poetry of the
family wus found in her. She was beloved
by another millionaire's sou, and when he
proxsed to her sho declared that he must do
something for her.
"Dearest, what can 1 do!"
"Become a ixxir artist."
"I couldn't bo any other kind of an artist."
"I mean you must pretend to be a poor
artist. Pa does not know you. You must
come and make love to mo and I will fall in
love with you. Pa will object und make a
row. Wo will elopo and get married, and
when it is all over we'll tell him, and it will
bo delightful."
So ho becaino a poor artist and took a poor
studio, aud daubed on canvas and pretended
to paint pictures. And there was another
millionaire's daughter who began to come to
his studio and sit for her picture.
Ho forgot all about tho romantic maiden,
and when the romantic maiden camo one
night in peasant costume, as a sweot surprise,
to run away with him, she found thnt ho was
married to the other girl aud had gone off
on his honeymoon.
Sho thinks that romances nro all moon

Til givo you an idea of how theso fellows
work,'' ho said. "They generally mako two
or threo plates from which different bills aro
struck off. Ono of thujplateti is likely to be
a trillo short or long. Tho publio becomes
aware of this, und bases judgment ot its
genuineness by measuring a suspicious bill
with one knowu to be good. Well, these
fellows will then spring a bill on tho town
exactly right in longth, und everything goes
on serenely. They nro u cute lot, I tell you,
and have many schemes to get rid of their
stuff. Tho fellow who does tho shoving novor
carries more than ono bill with him at a
time. As soon as ho gets rid of it ho hands
tho chango ho receives to u confederate on
tho outside and receives (mother bill When
a party is suspected of trying to shove coun
terfeit money he should never lie nrosted on
tho spot, but should be watched until he
meets his confederate on tho outside; then
you'll get the bet man ot the two, uud most
likely the prlncivil. Women uro used some
times to shove tho stuff, but they are not
reliable, and most counterfeiters steer clear
of them iu their work." Chicago News.
