Ghosts are said to ho frightening a Rhode Island hamlet to dsath. There is also a namiet up in Son* Carolina that has rather a ghostly and frightened-to-death appear auoe. W ho’s the wheezy journeyman fiddler in this red Injun ghost dance, anyhow ! He’s responsible for all this misery. S me fiddlers arc onough to set r.ny mortal crazy at the first seance. Humorist Shillaber, famous as “Mrs. Partington," is dead. Ho kept the world merry wnen he lived, aud now that he is dead bis old readers are sad. He died near Boston Tuesday last. Thanksgiving was a well-developed aud very well-finisaed day. No distressing casualties wore reported except one base ball game botween unripe experts and the isu.,l carnage attending such sanguinary conflicts. Senator Daniel of Virginia Is accredited with tno statohn it that “if the democracy can handle the tariff aud the currency well it can elect any good candidate in 189.3.” In the vernacular of Oracle Dana, "that goes without saying.” Bircball’s widow has gone to England. She sfciil believes him innocent. It is well that she can, if it’s any satisfaction to her. Nevertheless the authorities choked him off, au4 Canada’s satisfied. And then there's Biroliall himself—lie unit a-kickin’. New E iglaud descendants of the pilgrim fathers are to erect a statue to their ances tors at Delfthaven, Holland, in honor of their departure for this land of liberty and protective tariff. In th-.se days there was no prohibitory tariff to keep them out. There are 115 women on the world’s fair commission. By the time they can get ir bonnots off and their hair properly i'uoothed, preparatory to entering a moat , and then got their drapery so arranged as to sit dawn , it’s about time to adjourn. Postofflees are to be established on the Transatlantic liners for the distribution it mail. Now the passengers can add to the rthouox diversions of au ocean voyuge the ir delight of staggering up tj the post cu.ice five or six times a day. But they will not get any letters. Judging D m the returns, it appears that the most lawless and benighted people in the mountain pastures of Kentucky are republicans. No wonder teat the intelligent people of the stato turn out 80,000 democratic majority to suppress s-ch an ignorant mob. Hearing of the continuous grind of news paper work, Mr. Gladstone has presented Foot Eugene Field with an ax with a Latin inscription and u wbolo lot of rust on it. It is ono that the grand old mau has fre quently used to chop down trees. Now Mr. Field will have an ax to grind. Buenos Ayres is said to be in trouble. Several credit houses have closed. There was such a tumult on the bourse that the police were called upon to quell the dis turbance. Another dispatch says that President Pellegrini has issued a decree suppre-sing the publication of the official bourse quotation of the premium on gold and obliging bill discounters to quote paper exchange on Europe. Baring’s difficulties seem likely to swamp somobody vet. Still there is little, if auything, to be gained bv suppressing the truth. WUI They Heed the Warning? Reed. Mo Kir lev. Lodge and the rest of th republican leaders of tbe House who have returned to Washington say that the disastrous d-feat which thoir party suffered in the November elections will not cause them to change in the least the c nurse which they marked out at tbs beginning at the present congress. McKialey says that the pe Die will approve his tariff when they get a better understanding of It, and Rood and Lolge insist that the Senate shall go right ahead and pass tbe force bill. They propose also to pass an apoortion-nent bill by which, in all probability, they will endeavor to get some advantages for their party. They are not, h iwaver, in as happy a frame of mind as they pretend to be. They recognize that they have been severely con demned by the people, and they are trying to hide their real feelings by claiming that the overwhelming defeat of their party does not mean that there has been a permanent change in the polit cal sentiment of the country, and, he ice, hasn't much signifi cance. They say t tat the dom ter its, hav ing such a large majority in tbe next House, will m .nage so badly that the people will be disgusted, and will send a majority of re publicans to the H >use in tbe Fifty-third congress. They even go so far a3 to assert that if the de nocrats obstruct legislation this winter the President will call an extra session iu the spring, and that the respon sibility for such a session will rest upon the democrats. All this sort of talk means nothing. The republicans during the remainder of this congress will not be as aggressive a id over bearing as they have bee l. Although they will not admit it, they have bee i taught a lesson, and although they may make a show of passing the force bill, they will take good care not to do so. Too President may urge the passage of that bill, and tbe republican leaders may insist that It shall be passed, but they will see to it that it does not reaoh a vote. The republicans will,of course, attempt to paean apportionment bill,based upon Supt. Porter’s census, but it is far from certain that they will succeed in doing so. Unless they offer a very fair bill, the democrats will oppose it, because it is notorious that the census is incorrect. New York had her population enumerated by the police, and found nearly 300,000 more people than Supt. Porter’s census give* her, and Balti more, aLo, not satisfied with tbe work of the federal enumer ators, had her population enumerated by her police. Her police found many thousands more people than Supt. Porter’s enumerators. Indeed, in all parts of the country there is complaint about the incor rectness of the census. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, deolares that he believes that 300,000 people were missed in his state, and Senator Vance, of North Carolina, says that his state has been cheated oat of at least 150,000 of her population. It is somewhat remarkable that in demo cratic strongholds Supt. Porter’s census shows the population to be much less than it Is believed to be. Commenting on this condition of affairs. Senator Vance says that it looks as if there was a conspir acy to reduce the democratic representation in congress and iu the elect trial college. In the face of so much evidence that the census Is incorrect it would be manifestly unjust for this congress to pas3 au appor tionment bill, and the democrats will pro test against auv such bill, notwithstanding the threat<f republicans about au extra session of congress iu the spring. If the democrats do what they ought to, and what the country will sustain them in doing, they will demand that another enumera tion shall be made. IVbat is wanted is a a correct enumeration, and the whole eoun try will sustain a demand for it. Notwithstanding the assertion of the re publican leaders that they will not heed tbe warning they received Nov. 4, it is quite certain that they will not carry things with such a hig i hand as they have been doing. They are not so foolish as to treat tbe warn ing with contemptuous indifference. When a man voluntarily attempts to starve himself just to show people that ho can go hungry, he really deserves to suffer all the consequences. One thing is certain: Though he may a little cheap notoriety he assuredly cannot got fat that way. Sued, the Italian amateur cadaver in JNew York, is rapidly makingroom in the world for another man. From be has re duced his weight to 121 X pounds within twenty days. But he gets the notoriety he craves. Regarded as a freak, he gets all sorts of cranky propositions through the mail. One came from two simple sisters who offered to play the piano for him. Only think of a man starving to slow music. He says he intends to visit a music hall at the expiration of forty-six days und allow the public to see him eat. If he doesn’t ride all the way some stray dog along the route is likely to devour him for a bone. Col. B. Bill is to take a whack at the giddy old bucks on the Sioux reservation, at the head of the Nebraska state troops, of which he is commandant, wo are told. CoL Bill can plug an ludiau at long range with the next man, and the red cusses know that soma So they are not likoly to monkey with the colonel much if he turns out with blood in both eyes. Since these ludians are just spoiling for a tight and have no fash ionable clothes to wear iu the hauats of civilization, why not let Col. Bill take them to Africa, where the climate is comfortable, a id let them fight it out with the black citi zens who are fond of a round-up? Now that unfortunate Ray Hamilton’s adventurous "wife” is again at large we may expect to hear soon that some othe.- equally susceptible and foolish gudgeon has been hooked and landed. That any person claiming an iota of selt-respect could sign a petition for the pardon of such a creature is almost incredible. Yet it was done. Thus she gained freedom. Such a w man is capable of incalculable harm and should have been kept confined as long as possible for the good of the public. Now she will immediately proceed to grasp for Hamil ton’s estate, but it is unlikely that she caa get any of it. Tuesday morning the two Brazilian war ships, Aquidabau and Guaaabara, cast anchor in New York harbor. They were saluted by the Dolphin and Yorktowu of the United States navy. They come to bring to the President a medal from the President of Brazil, in acknowledgment of our national friendliness in recognizing the new republic. Such visitors are always cordially welcomed to the “Land of the Free.” Chicago has a sensational new romance called “The IVorld’i Fair Committee; or After the Lake Front” It is now running iu serial form in a large syndicate of papers all over the country. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1890. Ingalle and the Alliance. The Kansas alliance is hostile to John James Ingalls, senator from that state. The majority of the legislature of Kansas are aliiancemen. They were elected with tbe understanding that they would permit Senator Ingalls to retire to private life. It seems that tbe alliance looks upon him as a monopolist and an agnostic. But Senator Ingalls is a very smart man, and he doesn’t want to be retired. He has an idea that he is peculiarly fitted for shining in the Senate, and it must be ad mitted that he shines there with a good dial of brilliancy. A dispatch was published tbe other day which c interne I the statement that Mr. Polk, president of the National Farmers’ Alliance, was working for Mr. Ingalls', re election, aud that the Kansas alliance felt that President Polk was meddling with matters w.dch did not come within the ra ige of his legitimate duties. Is it not a little remarkable that these alliance bosses should be sticking their fingers in every pie* In this state Dr. Ma cuue, it is alleged, traveled all the way from Washington to assist CoL Livingston and other state alliance bosses to elect Mr. Calhoun senator. Very properly t.ho alliance men of the legidat re sat down uponMacune, Livingston, and others, and th9y are not in quite as high favor with the alliance of the state es they were before they undertook to boss the aliiancemen of the legislature. The first thing the alliance bo ses aim to do is to gat offices for tiiemselvos, and the next is to say who shall have the offices they cannot get, or do not want. Alliance men will begin to think after awhile that the mam object of these leaders is to ad vance their own fortunes. It may be that President Polk will be able to break the alliance ranks in Kansas and open the way for John James Ingalls’ return to the Senate. If he does it is within the bounds of probability that President Polk will bo invited to retire to the shades of obscurity. The rank and file of the alliance are slow to act, but if they feel they are being imposed upon by those in whom they trust, forbearance will cease to be oae of the virtues woich com mand their respeot. English physicians who have visited Dr. Koch at Bsrlin write to a Birmingham papar to say that “3omo cases of phthisis and of lupus vulgaris have unquestionably improved under the treatment, but with respset to tho latter we have seen nothing that might not be due to the relatively favorable hygienic conditions under which they were placed. Other cases up to the present have derived no marked benefit, but it must be remembered that the first case of phthisis was injected as recently as Sept. 15 last, and the great majority of cases much later. It is not improper to caution the public that the proceeding is not without risk, and though the danger i3 not unavoid able, it U certain that an iudisorimma e ap plication of the method would be followed by many deplorahie aud fatal accidents.” This is the reason assigned by Dr. K >ch for not immediately making public his discov ery. It seems to be quite sufficient. With all the glaring inaccuracies of the oeusus that have been exposed still uncorrected, it does not seem pos sible that even a republican congress can have the audacity to attempt a reapportionment of congressional repre sentation. Should such an outrage bo at tempted it would drive damocrat io local legislators to gerrymandering iu self-de fense. If for no other reason than to obviate this the republicans should refrain from such action until the census is cor rected. Hon. William T. Crawford, democratic congressman-elect from the Ninth district of N .rth Carolina, has entered the law class at the North Carolina University, and hopes to complete the course before entering congress. He is said to be a young gantle maa of dec.ded ability and oue of the best stamp speakers in the state. Mr. Crawford was elected to congress by a large majority in a republican district over Mr. Ewart, the present member. That’s the sort of a man that really deserves to get on iu tLe world. Aud he generally does. Black Candidate Langston is making an other contest in the Second congressional district of Virginia, just for what money he can filch from the national treasury by it. Ho probably knows, as well as anybody else, that he has no earthly chance of get ting the seat. Nevertheless, he expects to get a handsome sum as expenses of the contest So long as this practice is allowed contests will be instituted upon the flimsiest pretexts. Something shou,d be done to stop that sort of robbery. German newspapers are loudly protesting against the exorbitant fees that physicians are demanding for treatment by the K.ich method. There should be some legal method of stopping such overcharges. Because a man chances to be dying by inches, physi cians should not be allowed to take advantage of that circumstance to extort irom him all that he has. That is tantamount to high way robbery. It u virtually the road agent’s demand of "your money or your life,” put in another way. Lymph from Berlin has been applied by a physiclau at Kansas City with good results. About half a drachm was injected into the shoulder-blade of a patient far advanced iu consumption. Almost immediate improve ment was visible. Withiu a few minutes the patient was greatly relieved. How much of this was duo really to imagination, and what part is attributable to actually beneficial effects, cau only be surmised. But, as the treatment is to be continued, we shall see how it culminates. Queen Emma is to be regent in Holland until the y mug Princess Wilhelm jj, who is now but 10 years old, comes of age. She is affianced to the Crown Prince of Bel gium. When they are married the two kingdoms will tnus be united, very much to the disgust of Germany, France, aud England. But Germany looks upon the prospect least kindly of any. Pennsylvania republicans are standing by the Senator Don. All over the stato they are declaring for Cameron. Whether he has dumped in another bar’l or they are giving him the worth of his money, already c attributed, can only be conjectured. But he is accredited with chipping in SIOO,OOO for the last campaign, aud he has not got anything for it yet. One of the Smiths is a forger. Knowing that he belonged to a large family, however, ue went in for a big pile. He got $300,000 in New York. But the queerest part of it is that a man with all that cash was con vioted in forty-five minutes. What’s the use of having lots of money aud relatives anyhow* PARSON AL. Jonathan 11. Green, the once famous “re , formed gambler/’ diet last Saturday at Hamil j ton, 0., age-1 88. PhOF Bryce says thst tbe present is sn age 1 of iliioon'ent, not of and epreision, much Isas of j despair, but of unrest. Cora M. Stockton has written a room on Senator Ingalls, and Democratic scoffers say j hi* defeat is now assured. Mr. Moody Is gros ing much stouter than he was, aud a good deal of silver has crept Into his hair. The Jladq- ese dk Lanza is reputed to be one of the best dressed literary women in the country. Gen.

Mme. Adam, the noted woman editor and author, is graceful an l fascinating at 54. She has a large fvrtime and an immense capacity for work. She dresses simply and in the best of taste. Dom Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil, is trans lating “The Arabian Nights” into Portuguese. Tbe renowned Spanish fencer, Baron San Malato, has returns Ito Paris from America. One result will be the issue of 100 photographs if attitudes of <1 dense a :ii attack in fencing for wnich the Baron has posed. Lord Tennyson has left Aldworth, his summer house, situated on the Blockdown Hills, with the object of wintering in the more (tenia! climate of the Isle of Wright, as has been his custom for some years. John Randolph of Roanoke lies buried ill the famous Hollywood cemetery at Richmond. In the same inclosure are the graves of James Monroe and John Tyior and of A. P. Hill and Pickett, tile noted confederate leaders. Locke Richardson, who is now in this coun try for a short time, after a four years' tour around the world, n,ll soon revisit England, die lias engaged to give a course of bhakepear ean readings in the University of Oxford. La3t Wednesday Ben Butler began his 73d year. He returned t > Boston from his western trip in capital shape. Tie greatest ca3e he has now on hand is the appeal to tw taken ia the in terest of Schwab, the anarchist, to the United States supreme court Alphonse Karr, the novelist, whose death at St. Raphael, on tho Mediterranean, has re cently been chronicled, was an enthusiastic florist and horticulturist. Over his door he had written. "Alphonse Karr, Gardner,” and for the last forty years he had almost ceased to write. Many of his experiences as a horti culturist were embodied in his Voyage autour lie mon Jardin. When President Harrison, the Rev. David Swing and Dr. John Trembly of Ohio were students in Miami College, Oxford, 0., Prof. Stoddard’s rain gauge was poured full of water one night, in a storm, greatly to tbe astonfsn ment of that ins ructor next day. The Chicago Times declares that while the other two con spirators here named stood guard, the grandson of “Tippecanoe" was on the roof executing this little project. Before the task was finished there was an alarm, ad Swingi and Trembly fled, whi e Mr. Harrison, so the story goes, flat tened himself against a chimney and stayed there until morning. BRIGHT BITo.

From the Philadelphia Record (Deni.\ It would be wretched fata isrn to admit the possibility of luck; but the Tennesseean who, having sold his farm for cash, sat down to count the biUs and saw them blown into the fire by a gust of wind from an open door, and vanish into smoke, will bo hard to convert from the opinion that there must be such a thing as hard luck. Ask for Van Houten’s Cocoa—Take no other.— Adv. How Mosea Picked Up a Bear Trap. I had just eaten dinner with a Mississippi planter, says the New York cun, and we sat on the veranda smoking, when a colored man came up, pulled off his bat. and said: “Majah. lze dun heard somebody shoutin ober b t de lower o'n crib.” •‘Sound like game?” ‘He do, sah. Reckon It dun hurt his fee!- iD’a” "Very well, William: I’ll go down there pretty soon.” I didn't ask what it was, and the major didn t explain for some time. By and by after we had thrown our cigars away, he saiu: The niggers have been stealing my co’n, and last night I Set a bear trap, william thinks we ve got some game, and we might walk down that way. ’’ The crib was half a mile from the house. As we got near it wj heard a shout, and a little later caught sight of a colored man sitting on the ground at the door. His right leg was fast in the bear trap. "Good evening,” saluted the major as we came up. “Good evenin’, Maj. Busb.” "Fine weather for cotton." "Mighty fine, majah. Has yo’ dun got freu ploughin’ outf” “Not quite. How’s crops on the other side or the bayou. ” ‘Only tolable. Majah—only tolable. Bin moas too wet wid us ober dar!” ”Any talk about election?” “Jess a leetle bit.

What’s that on y--ur leg, Moses?” ’On mv leg? On which leg, Maiah?” “On the right.” “Ob. yes. I’d dun forgot all about it. I step ped iu it down ia de woods, an’ was bringing it up to de house.” •’That is very kind. We will take it off.” It touk both of us to spring the jaws, and the man’s leg seemed to have been cut to tho bone. He scrambled up, however, picked up a stick for a cane, and sail: •’Much obleeged, majah. When Rhall I cum?” About Monday next, Moses.” erry well. Reckon I’ll go home an' make all ready. Got and eve. in’, all.” We replied to his salutation, and he hobbled off into the woods, trying hard to whistle aud seem at ease ‘‘Will he come?” I asked of the major. “Not next Monday. He was in that trap twelve hours, and he won't do a stroke of wore for three long months.” He Married Liberally. A remarkable series of “marriages for money” recently took place in a New England state. The other day a well dressed, finely appearing couple, with marriage license duly made out says the New York P.ett, pres sited themselves belore a minister in atypical Connecticut coun try town. They wore strainers, but they answered all questions so satisfactorily, and they seemed so well matched in even- way that the good man felt a glow of satisfaction in making them one. At the close of the cere mony, while the minister’s worthy wife was congratulating the blushing bride, the bride groom handed the minister a brand new twenty dollar bill, with the remark that he desired to pay a fee of $5. The clergyman, feeling thankful that the do nation was only last woei and that he was for tunately in funds, guilelessly took the bill, re turning to the newly married man sls from his own pocket. Then bride and groom entered their trim buggy and drove rapidly away. Ap parently they were much in love Indeed and very desirous of getting tightly fastened, for they went Straightway to the next town, calle 1 ou the minister of the place, and were wed again. The bridegroom again left a S2O bill and again received sls in change. This performance was kept up till live different clergymen had been visited aud five different wedding ceremonies ha I been performed. Then the strange and much married con pie vanished mysteriously. They haven’t been seen since. There are five Connecticut ministers who would like to see them exceedingly. Each of these reverend gen tlemen has a now counterfeit s.’o bill, for wnich he paid Just sls in good, hard cash. It is safe to say ttiat in the future they will all look with suspicion on engaging strangers who want to pay $5 we iding fees out of new S2J bills. Silence In Valhalla. A*. IF., in the Academy.

And Baldur must die. For Loki was subtle as a! ways, And stronger than might Is his craft; It slumbereth never. In darkness or light. The sun hath grown cold In the heavens. The arrow is sped: A gray pall it hath fallen upon U3 Now Baldur is dead. It availeth us little that Loki Lies bound and is pain, For naugnt can bring back the departed— Our grief is in yain. But tbe Norns they have told us all things; The time diaweth nigh When the doom that was spoken it falleth; Tuere ariseth a cry. From the earth—the gods do not hearken, All silent their breath. As calmly they gaze from Valhalla, Awaiting tbeir death. They Gradually Parted “Yes, love, I will be brave, but it is so hard." “I know, dearest, but it must be; fate de crees it." In an emphatic splutter: “I ha ate fa-ate." "There, there! but my girlie doesn’t hate her boy?" “O, no, uo, no, no, no, no! How can you ever say it?” i Prolonged silence; two shadows bleDd as one) alleges Judge. "Well, the sad words must be said; goo—" “O. no, don’t say them; they are too cruel.” “What shall I say, sweet?" “Say— say—O, I can’t bear it!" "There: let us both be brave. Time may separate us, but, dear, eternity will unite us forever.” “O, how good and grand you are!" With an endeavor at a lighter mood: "There you've sajd the first half, now I’ll say the other -by." ‘ That's a good—by—girlie." * ‘Oh, you cute old darliug!" (Si’euce and shadows as bafore.) “By, love ” "By, pet." “By." "B-by.” (Both together); “B—y.” And is this their last sad parting? Ah, what reient ess fate could separate two such loving, young, brave hearts? No. sympathetic reader, it is not their last; it is their first and only, so far. since their engage ment six hours previous at 9p. m. And “relent less fate” is the necessity her "cute old darling" feels of getting home in time to change his dress suit, take a nap, and get down to the office at 7:30 to earn the daily fraction of hi3 $9 75 per week. One 7 rial Was Enough.^ "When the Kansas Pacific was first opened,” said B. W. Vedder, a locomotive engineer, to the Globe-Item crat, the Indians were very hostile, and there was constant fear that they would wreck the trains. That they did not is due to t heir ignorance of the iron horse and of the best methods of destroying it. “One of my firemen had an experience with the Cheyennes that he will never forget. He was on the road near Fort Wallace, when he saw that the Indians had cut the telegraph wire, and knew that he must look out for squalls. They were never satisfied with simply cutting the wire, bat chopped it into inch pieces with their tomahawks to effectually stop the mysterious messages. "As the train came near a large patch of sun flowers which grew on both sides of the track over 100 Indians rose up, stretched a strong rope across the track, braced themselves, and pr -pared to receive the shock of the locomotive. As was afterward learned, they had taken raw hide strijie, braided them together, and, witli a force of fifty at each end of the rope, thought that they would be able to stop the train. The instant the locomotive struck the rope the air was full of Indians. They were thrown in all directions. Some were .jerked clean across the the train, and more than a dozen were killed or seriously injured. This was the last attempt made lor years to stop the trains."

An isolited mountain called Jebel Naiba. about 25.000 feet high, situated near Bona, Algeria, it found to be rapidly decreasing in night, a considerable ca - ity having already formed around its entire Lase. The whole mass or tne gigantic peak is • vidently sinking into the earth s ciust. Evidence adduced almost within the very limits of Bona show that a similar phenomenon had taken place theie pro! ably centuries before. Lake Fezarra, a body of water of some thousands of acres in extent, lying between the mountains and tbe city, did not exist in the time of tho Roman empire, and recent investigations seem to have settled the fact that it now covers what was once a large fortified Roman city. Wucn strong southwest winds blow tor days in suc csssi n, towers and walls may be seen far out in the deepest part of the lake. Growing abundantly on the plains of Texas is a curious plant known among the stockmen as the “loco” plant or “crazy” weed, and sometimes, it is-a.d. the “Devil s cattle.” It is a small plant, with glaucus foliage, minute blood red flowers, aud a single, oval shaped seed vessel. It p issrsses a strong, but not disa gree&ble, odor, and, it is claimed, has a strange eliect on cattle, producing a latitude and weakness wnich lasts for several day*, and causes often al>o partial or even total blind ness. Strangely enough, it is said that cattle at first reject the plant, but finally contract an apparent fondness for it, a habit of whicn it is almost impossible to hr ak them. It is some times used by the cowboys themselves in place of tobacco, alt hough, it is said, m cases of .veak heart its use has caused death.

It is an Interesting sight, one that will well re pay any one for the time lost in waiting for the novel event to take place. When preparing for the chauge the spider stops eating for several days aud makes hie preliminary arranga ments by fastening himself by a short thread of web to one of the main lines of his snare; this to hold him firmly while he proceeds to un dress. First the skin cracks all around the thorax, being held only by the fore part. Next the abdomen is uncovered, and then comes the struggle to free the legs. He works aud kicks vigorously, seeming to have a very hard time of it. Fifteen minutes of continued perseve rance. however, brings him out of big old dress, the struggle causing him to appear limp and lifeless for some time after It is finished. Gradually he comes back to life, brighter and more beautiful than before the trying ordeal was begun. The British admiralty, it is stated, has given orders for two of the new gunboats now build ing to be fitted with captive balloons. The prac tical advantages of the balloon were demonstra ted du.ing the recent maneuvers of tbe French fleet in the Mediterranean. The Formidable, one of tbe most powerful of French battle -hips is furnished with one of these balloons. When the vessel is steaming it is towed Letu and, being at tached with block and tackle to the deck. It can therefore be drawn down and manned, and, on the connection with th 9 deck being severed’ it ascends, but is sti 1 he and captive by a rope made of silk f -r lightness, fixed on one of the military tops. This con ectioa with the military top is always maintained The balloon on toe Formidable has 11,000 cubic feet of hy drogen gas and ascends 150 feet or so. The French officers report that objects t wenty-five miles distant cau be seen from th ■ balloon, whereas from ti e deck the horizon line is not more than eight miles distant, bays the Wash ington S ar: “One other feature brought out by the t ials was that au observer in tbe balloon was üble to follow the movements of the sub marine boat Gymnote without losing sight of it for a single instant, although it was a very considerable distance heiow the water level.” A medical man, whose practice is around the lower end of the park, in New York, in what is known as the apartment house district, re marked that he believed the general tendency to stoutness, which is Bhown by w unen who have lived iu flats, was due to their lack of ex ercise. “I have many patients now," the old doet r said,“who were with me when thev were little more than girls, and 1 have noticed that nearly all of those who have lived continu ally in flats during the past five or six years have grown unusually st ut, and are constantly complaining of the discomforts of increased weight. There is no doubt that the life of the average woman in a flat is an indolent one. She has no space to move about in: tbe elevator carries her up and down sta rs, and the whole tondency of flat life is toward inertia. Again, the apart ments are usually so small that they do not afford any real opportumrie3 for work even to women who are naturally industrious. In a house a certain amount of activity is necessary at all times, and there is an endless amount of climbing up and down stairs, looking after rooms on various floors, and so on, which keeps a wopian young, supple and vigorous. This is particularly the case if the house is anew one and its tenant is just settling down. Everybody knows that it takes thirty years for a woman to get settled in a house of her own." The Romans deemed It an ill omen to meet certain animals while on the way to have the marriage ceremony pronounced. A hare, dog, cat, lizard or serpent were extremely unlucky animals io meet upon such occasions. A wolf, toad, ox or horse were lucky. In Greene the groom is sprinkled with water on leaving home to meet bis future bride. The bride must visit the oven in company with her father and mother, if she would have a happy married life. In France, during the middle ages, a ring woven from straw, or one made of horse-shoe nails, was placed on the bride's-finger at the conclusion of the marriage rite. The coup e also stood in a ring five or six feet in di ameter made of mistletoe straw. In China a girl who is partaking of the last nreal she is to eat in her father’s house previous to her mar ria :e, sits at the table with her father and brothers only, but she must not eat over one half of tle bowl of rics set before her, otherwise her departure will be followed by continued scarcity m the domicile sho is leaving, in Scotland it was formerly particularly ominous to meet a funeral while on the nay to be joined in wedlock. The bride or groom was a r;ain to die soon, as the sex of the person being taken to tbe graveyard was male or femaie. The Swedish bride seeks to catch a glimpse of the groom before he sees her, hoping thereby to gain the future ma tery. She also places her foot before his while the ceremony is being performed and sits down first. While tbe words are being said she stands near the groom, so that In the future no one will come b tween them. In Brittany if the wife hopes to rule she roust take care that the ring, when placed unon her finger, shall slip at once to its place without stopping at the large second joint In Russia the bride must not eat of the wedding cake unless she wishes to lose her husband’s love. If a dog belonging to the family of the bride shoul i howl on the dav of the wedding, or the day previous to the event, lie must be shot by the father of the bride and no one else. and. besi es taat, with a bul let made from a silver rupee.
