back from a he grave. josiah JSodfish's Queer Scheme to Save Himself from Beiuj Buried Alive From the Chicago Herald. I was quite certain that I had heard ot cld Uncle Josiah Bodfish’s death and 1 uria', and when I met him coming out of a lav - yer's office and looking rather more bollir rrent than usual it gave mo a bit of a Kt; i t aud “creepy” feeling up and dowr tny spine. But it was Josiah, sure as coni be, uji 1 there was nothing ghostly in 1 i n>- pearanoe. I asked him how he canse to lie still extant in such an irregular way and ho told me all about it. "So you thought I was snuli'ed ou. did you' That’s a good one on you lut, then, I don’t know’s I can blame y< u, soj a’ tny own folks ’lowed I was a cada •r. i’vo got u lawsuit with ’em aismt it. The, had mo taken up by a constable for distilling the imace, and that’s what’s IV la u’ ultout. I'm nut on boil now. I>’s a .i-culiar case, mnl if I had a mind to ii ke. the Soopreme Court I could knock \ n, out on tlw question whether a man who has uoen buried can he legally prosecuted. You know thorn spells I have. When I get one I’m liable to 1 plump out o’ niy senses for hours, and I’m a little nervous about ’em sometimes. If anyliody tells you it isn’t nothin’ but whisky, you call hint ii liar, and I’ll back you up. y ou kuow I’m not intemperate and you never sawino take anything between drinks in vour life. ‘•Mehbe you’ve noticed that mo and the old woman don’t hitch very well. Yes, I thought so. Some folks have a habit o’ no ticing other follts’ doin’s. Well, it’s all owin’to Deacon Sliderback takin’ too gol darned much interest in the spiritual wel fare of my family. My old woman’s been so pious I've been a little fearsome that she might get too anxious to have me join the heaven ly choir and plant me if I happened to have a real bad spell and not come to as spry as common.” I suggested to Uncle Josiah that he couldn’t De buried without a physician’s cer titieate that he was dead. “That’s another point,” he replied. “Dr. Pilbolus don’t like me enough to hurt since I put up a little job on him, and I kinder suspected he’d play a practical joke on me if he got a chance in a professional way. I don’t lielieve the authorities would want a certificate anyway if they knew Pilbolus hail anything to do with the case. They’d consider t hat reasonable ground to suppose that the patient was ripe for the cold and silent tomb. If you don’t want to lie slammed into a coffin and sent kiting to glory before your time, don’t you have Pilbolus. lie’s a quack, sure. I’d been thinkin’ over what might happen, and I had a talk with the undertaker, who does all my burying, and we fixed the thing up between ns. Had a telephone put in the family vault aud all that sort of thing, you know. Go in' to have the whole racket patented next week. “Well, it seems I got fuller had a spell last Saturday night, and the next thing I knew 1 woke up in the dark feeling mighty queer. Smelt like a funeral —timer-roses and dead leaves aud carbolic acid, you know. I thought I’d get up and see who was dead, but, the first break I made I bumped my head against something hard. Then I felt around and found I was boxed iu, and I concluded it was my own funeral I felt. So I just kicked the lid off, sat up in the coffin, fished a match out of my vest pocket and took a look around. I recog nized the place by the inscriptions to the memories of my first throe wives and a maiden aunt, and it made mo feci sort of blue to think how near I had come to be ing reunited with the whole gang at one lick. “You can imagine how a man would feel to find himself stowed away on the top shelf of a tomb in such company, and read his t>wn epitaph ou the plate by the light of a brimstone match. I felt in iny coat-tail pocket and found A FLASK OF BRANDY, which showed that the undertaker was a man of his word and partially restored my confidence in human nature. I was power fully relieved to find that I was not yet in heaven with my sainted late female rela tives, and with devout gratitude I emptied the flask aud returded thanks to a merciful Providence, vowing that I would make a total wreck of that Pilbolus as soon as ever 1 should get out. I felt sorry, though, that 1 hadn't told the umiertaserto fill in the chinks between my remains and the cotlln with sandwiches. Then I climbed down, after ripping the cofiin-plate off and putting it in my pocket as evidence. I no ticed that 1 was in my stocking-feet, and tiiat tiio old woman had put on the remains of a pair of hose ail worn out at the heels. I s'pose she thought because tile binds of the late lamented were down when his toes wore turned up that the holes wouldn’t be noticed. Tiiat’s the kind of woman she is. “1 found the telephone, rung up the ol' fieo and told ’em to send the sexton to let mo out. Then I says, ‘Hello, Central.’ ‘Hollo,’ says Central. ‘Connect the late Josiah Botllish, tomb 36, with his widow, number 1 001,’ suvs I.” Uncle Josh did not mean that ho had gone ,Solomon ouo better; the number of his telephone was 1.001. “The line was switched on, and I was just goin' to send a doleful sound from the tomb to comfort my sorrowing family and save ’em the trouble of goin’ to a medium to find out how 1 was enjoyin’ the climate of the sweet by and by, when I thought I heurd A FAMILIAR VOICE. Brushing a spray of withered smilax from my left ear I listened and heard Deacon Sliderback say, a.-, plain as could be: ‘The Lord givoth and the Lord taketh uwny, .Sis ter Bodlish, and everything is for the best.' She allowed it was, ami 1 couldn’t detect anything but the cheerfulness kind of resig nation in her voice. Then the deacon said: ‘Brother Josiah had lias faults, Hister limb fish.’ Then 1 heard her say she should and I thought the hilarity was u little previous, ‘I suppose that it was drink that killed him’, said the deacon, and she al lowed it was, anil went ou with a whole lot of stuff, winding up with: ‘Thank good ness there won’t De any more piuk snakes with blue tails in those shoes over by the corner.’ "I stopped to finish what there was in the bottom of the flask, and then I heurd the deacon say: ‘Now, that the snakes huve been driven from those shoes, Sister Bod fish, may I hope to step into them some day r S :ee way of proposing, that was. "ell, that settled it. I just groaned through the telephone liko an insulted ghost. The soxton came along then and let n.e out, and I lit out for homo on a jump, when I walked into the purlor, where the Ran was burning low, dressed up in my Is st black coat, split up the back by the man "ho laid me out, aud lotoed tiiat coffin plate into the old woman's lap. right whore the deacon could read it, you bol tliero was n circus. .Some folks mi;;nt call it a dia tlirhauco of the peace. I put on those shoes and introduced the deacon to’em, snakes und all. That's ivliat the lawsuit is about. I’m going to lick blazes out of Pil boluN when I see him, and 1 s’poso that'll make more la win’ for me. But I'll get a divorce and a puluut mi my premature burial outfit, and then I guess I’ll bo tquare,” OUR PATIENTS TO PASTEUR. Aa Far as Known They Have All Es caped Hydrophobia. From I lie Ncu> York World. It has ulreudy 1 >cc:i stated tliut Miss Della Bentoliir, n handsome girl 20 years old und living with her parents in Beverly, N. J., 'liesl there a week ago m the agonies of hy drophobia. Bho was bitten last .March at oew Albany, N. J.. by a lurge bulldog. Miss Lentcliff returned home very much nlurmod and suffered so much mentally in brooding over the affair that she ' fell info a gradual decline. The ailment alter, "aid developed symptoms that Dr. Cunie. of Beverly, diagnosed us typhoid fevrr- J hen i.lood pawning showed itself. The uaticut refused all food und later all the sympt >ms of hydrophobia were presented, oho nr tde sounds lik - the bal king of a dog. At ot , r times she emitted hissing sounds, the w 11-known symptoms of the dreaded disea. >. During theso spells she would froth att,> mouth and leap about in lied. On \\ :dueclay th se convulsions became worse an 1 the girl died. The bite was in the back 0- the shoulder. l o ascertain whether or not the cure of hydrophobia had made any real progress of late years, a reporter called on Dr. Hermann M. Biggs, the instructor at the Carnegie Laboratory. Dr. Biggs went to Baris with the Newark children to visit Pasteur a little over a.year ago. While there he became greatly interested in the physician’s theo ries and after much trouble was admitted to Pasteur’s laboratory and became a zealous student. He has since continued his experiments, aud with Dr. Valentine Mott now stands at the head of the profession m the specialtv of treating cases of h ydrophobia. At this time, how ever, he is not a zealous disciple of Pasteur. tV bile admitting that some cures have seem ingly been effected, still ho says the tests are only in an exjierimental stute, and much of the faith he lmd at first has been shaken. “Two cases,” said Dr. Biggs, “that might be called positive cures, although not treated by me, came under my observation. The first was that of Mrs. John B. Ellis, of Bartow-on-tho-Sound, over a year ago. Mrs. Ellis was bitten by a pet collie dog that afterwards died in convulsions. No symptoms of hvdrophobia presented them selves, but still Mrs. Ellis became very much alarmed. At the solicitation of friends she at last concluded to go to Paris and be treated by Pasteur.” Dr. Biggs was of the opinion that the lady returned homo cured. To ascertain more (ully about the case the reporter called at Mr. Ellis’ office, at No. 1 .‘JO Front street. His secretary said that Mrs. Ellis went to Paris soon after she was bitten. “In case,” he continued, “any alarming symptoms showed themselves the family physician ac companied Mrs. Ellis. “Arriving in Paris, she at once entered the hospital and Pasteur ix-gan his treat ment. For two weeks she was daily inocu lated and then pronounced cured. Mrs. Elfis stayed several weeks longer abroad before she returned home. “Since then she has enjoyed perfect health and at present is spending the summer at South Hampton. Mrs. Eilis, however, will never forget her terrible experience while being treated. She says it all seems to her now like a hideous nightmare. All Pasteur’s patients were at the time treated in one ward. There could be met persons from all parts of the world—Russians, Poles. French, Germans, Arabs anil Americans. The scum of the population of largo cities as well as persons of high rank entered together and awaited their turn for inoculation. Others, who were badly afflicted with the disiase, made the surroundings hideous with their cries. It would take a very great induce ment to make Mrs Eilis again undertake the trip.” Returning to Dr. Biggs the reporter was told of the second case. Last June a little boy, named Charles Treadwell, of Mineola, L. 1., was bitten by a dog which evidently had rabies. “He was placed under my care,” said the doctor, “but for prudential reasons I sent him to Pasteur, lie remained abroad two weeks, received treatment every day anil returned home. Since then he has bezn perfectly well aud has shown no signs of disease.” Continuing, the doctor said: “Pasteur’s theories in public and professional opinion have had many ups and downs. At first they were hailed with delight, and Pasteur was proclaimed a saviour of mankind. Then opinion reacted and every - I xxly lost faith in the doctor. Now comes the report of the British Commission which, by stat ing that they believe Pasteur has dis covered a method by which animals can bo protected from the infection of rabie6, again installs Pasteur in a high place. But that report has not changed my ideas at all. I consider that report as coming from the commission's secretary, Mr. Victor Hossley, alone. Over a year ago, while iu London, I dined with Mr. Hossley, and he convinced mo he was then prejudiced in Pasteur’s favor. His report, therefore, must be taken with allowances." “What is Pasteur’s method of treatment at present ?” “His method now is such that I would not wish him to try it on me. He can first try it on the dog. Bat this is his treatment: For small bites through the clothing, the first day lie gives three inoculations with medullas Iff, 11 and 10 days old. The second day three inoculations with medullas 9, 7 and 8 days old. The third day three inocu lations, 6, 5 and 4 days old. From then until the ten days he gives one inoculation a day, the medulla varying in strength as lie sees fit. His intensive treatment, applied to persons bitten on the head and face or when patients have arrived late, is as already told, with intervals of two to four days for four, five, or even six weeks. Among the persons inoculated by this intensive method there have been nine deaths from a form of rabies hitherto almost unknown in a human hiring, namely, piralytic rabies. Dr. Valentino Mott has told me that in his inoculations death was almost invariably followed after subdural injections of the virus. So far as the results obtained go they show that there is sonic lieculiar nerve poison that Pasteur is ex ix'rimentmg with. This poison is probably t hat of rabies, and when attenuated and used for inoculation in a prescribed man ner, grants a certain degree of insuscepti bility to the strongest virus.” “If such is the case, doctor, what are poo ple to dot” “Let them do as the British Commission state in their report: ‘lf the protection by inoculation should prove permanent the dis ease might lie suppressed by thus inoculat ing all dogs, but it js not supposed that such inoculation would lie voluntarily adopted by all owners of dogs, or even could lx' en forced on them. Police regulations would suffice if they could bo rigidly enforced. But to make t hem effective it would bo nec essary, (1) that they should order the de struction, under certain conditions, of all dogs having no owner or wan dering in either town or country (2.) That the keeping of useless dogs should bo discouraged hv taxation or other means. (3.) That the bringing of dogs from countries in whicli rabies is prevalent should be forbidden or subject to quarantine. (4.) That in districts or countries where rabies is prevalent muzzles should bo compulsory, and dogs out of <lx>rs, if not muzzled or led, should he taken by the police as sus jiected.’ There nre examples sufficient to prove that by these or similar regulations rabies, and consequently hydrophobia, could lie in this country stamped out or reduced to an mnnunt far loss than has hitherto been known. If it is not thus reduced it may Ixi accepted as certain that a largo number of persons will every year require treatment.” Ho was "Connoctod With the Road.” From the Syi anise Courier. “I havo met with queer characters In my day,” remarked a conductor on one of tho city roods last evening. “All sorts of ex cuses are given, anil all old fakes are worked to get a ride.

AUGUST 4, 1887. BARBER WISDOM. Points from An Observer Who Has Shaved His Fellows for Thirty Years. From the New York Sun. ‘•lt is not true that peachy-cheeked boys aro the easiest to shave,” said one of the officers of the Barbers’ Union, who has worked at his trade over thirty years. “Tlie easiest men to shave arc fat men. The fatter a man is the less work it is for a barber to shave him. It is not the size of a man’s face so much or the strength of his beard as the chance u barber has to get at it. When a tnan is thin and the bones of his face stick out at angles a liarber lyust lxi careful or ho will run his razor through The skin by trying to cut too long and wide a stroke. With a thin man he must go along a little at a time, while on a fat man he takes a heavy razor with a wide edge and mows the beard off. “Boys are not easy to shave well. The hair on their face has no strength, and the razor glides over it without taking it off, or the barber leaves patches which ho doesn’t notice. The sharper a razor is the worse it is to shave fuzz with it. It takes some time for the fuzz to toughen, and until it toughens and has some resistance to it the barber is bothered in shaving. It is not so much the strength of the beard that causes trouble in shaving as it is the tenderness of the skin. The skin of boys and young men is more tender than the skin of older men. That makes the barber take more care to avoid cutting through. A tough beard on a tough face is not so bad as an easy beard on a tender face. “Red beards are worst. I do not mean auburn beards (I have an auburn beard my self), but those red beards that grow out like wire and have thin skin under them. There are black beards that are as tough as those wiry ml ones, but a man with a tough black lieard usually has a tough skin, and you can mow the hair oif him, while rod bearded men have cranky skins. It is bet ter to have the same 1 larbcr slut vo you, on account of the peculiarities of hair and skin that every man has. The hair of the face does not grow in an even grain, and nobar ber who shaves you the first time will take it just right. If you have a tough skin, im proper shaving will not matter so much, but if your skin is tender, little pimples will break out where the razor went the wrong way. Then, a barber becomes acquainted with the soft and hard spots of your face and makes allowances. It is better hi have a fairly gooil barber shave you steadily than to change around among the best. “Curly hair is easier to cut than straight hair because it is softer. The softer and finer hair is the less work it is to cut it. Most people think that curly hair is hal'd to cut, but that depends on the toughness of it. Somi> hair is so tough that it blunts the scis sors. The oftener hair is cut, the hurder it is to cut it. Black or red hairis the hardest to cut, as the hair is stronger. Fair, curly hair is easiest. It is a great deal with hair cutting as with shaving. The barber who knows about, you will give you 1 letter satisfaction than the liarber who doesn’t. “There is one thing about barbers that I have often wondered over. There are more bald barbers in proportion than there are bald meai in any other business. I do not know why barbers become bald. Perhaps it is worry, or, more likely, it is thought. Barbers are great thinkers. Their toil at shaving or cutting hair is, to a certain ex tent, mechanical, and it leaves the mind free. That may account for the number of bald barbers, but 1 have never been able quite to explain it. Barbers used to wear their hair long, and take great care in hav ing each lock oiled and carefully curled, but only some of the old-time barliers do that now. The new barbers have become dun dies, and wear their hair short. They are too careful about their personal appearance. “Preachers take more care of their hair than anybody elso, and none of them wear longhair. They havoall kinds of beards and huir, just as other men, but they ar range their hair and beards differently. Now, there isn’t any man that I would rather have shaved than Henry Ward Beecher. He hod a nice, fat, easy face. ButTnlmage —well, he’s too thin in the face, and his lower jaw is not smooth enough. There are angles in the jawbones, and I’d be afraid to scrape the skin off one of them. Catholic priests are seldom bqld, especially the priests who have their tonsures shaved. That pre serves the hair on top of the head. Protest ant preachers usually wear long hair. Asa class their hair is longest. “Doctors are careful of their hair, but many of them grow bald or gray. I havo a theory that graym-ss is caused by the loss of lime and iron in the system, and doctors must lose their lime and iron quicker than preachers. Some doctors think it helps them in their practice if they grow gray young. “Brokers build a lot on their personal ap liearanee, but they do not (jay sufficient at tention to their hair. They put it off on their barbers instead of looking after their huir themselves. A man must brush his hair often if he wants it to look right. A broker goes to a barber shop in the morning to be shaved, and has his hair brushed then in stead of looking after it himself. “Newspaper men take less care of their hair than men in nny other business. They wear it cut short to save them the time and trouble of brushing it. Men who work on newspapers are a short-haired race. “Storekeepers, except in tho dry goods line, do not wear short hair. The further up in the store you get the longer is the hair worn. The clerks and salesmen have short, Rpruce hair, while the heads of the firms could tickle their noses with their back hair. “Bartenders and actors are among tho men who travel on their jiersoual appear nine, but they do not impart sufficient indi viduality to their hair. They give the whole care of their head over to some bar ber who possibly is not competent for the task. A man should take an interest in his own hair. It is something to be thought over and to bo made something of. A man should try different arrangements of his hair and beard to see which are most be coming, and should consult with his barber as he dots with his physician. A barbor cannot do what’s licet for a man unless the man takes a personal interest in it. The owner of the hair should supply the fullest information to the barber, who then can act witli intelligence.” Harvey’s Equipment. From the Ilaltiniurc Sun. Oscar J. Harvey, whose horse-claim ex ploits have brought him some notoriety, iui well as twelve years at Albany, had many accomplishments. He was an art critic, an elocutionist, a lawyer, an expert penman and a “mild Republican.” Ilia voice was soft und gentle. He talked like a confidence man through a key hole. lie was fond of perfumery und devoted to Florida water. In his desk, which has just Iteen cleaned out, n variety of articles were found, fromasix shcxiter to a tmg ot sachet powder. Evory style of pen, from the smooth goose quill anil Hie soft stub to the stiff Falcon, was found, showing that Harvey knew how to equip himself ill the business of iinUating signatures. There wore thirteen kinds of pens in all. There wore six different kinds of ink---blaek. violet, blue and three mixed inks, which puzzled the experts who cxamimsl them. As for stationery, every sort and shade was found in his well stocked mahogany dmk. If it became nec essary for “W. \V. Wynn" to write to the treasury about the delay in his claim*, Hur vey took up a sheet of Irish linen paper and wrote from his room in the Third Auditor’s office a stiff, yet judicious epistle from Phil adelphia. If an affidavit from a liogus horse claimant was required, Harvey took Up a sheet of old-fashioned blue pajs-r and made in quaint characters the statement of Widow Hroie-on that she was the mother of Charles Bronson, who lost n horse in the scccml battle of Bull Run. He was well equipped in nil minor details for his swind ling operations.
