A Propeslltoa Not Aamllted.

Mr. Kosson (Rep.% of Iowa, argued that the

cremation.
During the last twenty-five years 2,000,000 of
hnrnan bedies have been buried within the
limits of the London postal circle, and the peo¬
ple are changing their minds regarding crema¬
tion, regarding it with increased favor.
THE MOUTH.
The month is the frankest featnre of the
human face. It cannot in the least conceal its
leading and characteristic sensations. We can
neither hide ill temper with it, n or conceal a
good disposition. Wo may affect what we
please, but affectation will not help us.
COLLECTION OF CURIOS.
A company ha* recently been formed in San
francinco, with a capital of $26,000, having for
its object tho collection and sale of curios from
the petrified forests of Arizona. The region in
question is rich in clialoedony, amethysts, jas¬
per, oornclian, agate, and other stones, and
abounds in rare geological specimens andlndian
antiquities.
LEMON AM A HEALTH PRESERVER.
At thi* season of the year a lemon is worth
untold gold as a health preserver. The way to
get the better of a bilious system without blue
pills or quinine is to take the juice of two or
three lemons in Just ensngh water to make it
pleasant to drink without sugar, before going
to bed. In the morning, before breakfast,
repeat the dose.
W ITH HER FEET.
Ann E. Leak, an armless woman, was mar
ried abont ten years ago to Wro. Thompson, a
steamship engineer. The couple went to Aui_
tralia, and made a great deal of money in con.
nection with the show business. Mrs. Thornp
son can crochet, knit, sew ami write, using her
feet as well as most people who perform such
work with their hands.
BOR IE A< III.
Recent experiments in London have demon¬
strated tho antiseptic properties of boric acid
in a most astonishing manner. A sheep ex¬
perimented upon with boric acid was eaten by
a party of gentlemen two months after it was
killed, and the flavor was found to be that of
pure, tender mutton. Not the slightest trace
of putrescence was observed.
PROLIFIC.
We find the following in the Scots Magazine
March, 1755: “There was lately presented to
tlie empress of Russia a laboring man who had
two wivet, the first of whom brought him four
times four children at a birth, seven times
throe, and ten times two. The second wife
once brought forth three children, and the
other six time* two. The whole number of
children by the two wires amount to seventy
two.”

POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.
Tli'- bill reducing the rate of postage on tran
aient newspapers when sent by others than
llio publishers, to one cent for each four oun¬
ces or fractional part thereof, has become a
law. This reduction is equal to one-half, as
the law heretofore exacted one cent for two
ounces. It is not a difficult matter to discern
the fiugers of tlio blanket sheet publishers in
this matter, as one cent will now pay the post¬
age on a newspaper “big as a bed quilt.” For¬
eign postage remains unchanged.

Approaching it cautiowly he scooped it np in
his hat, and found to hie horrorthathe had an
ugly looking fish or aaunal, with a body like a
piece of liver, a heed with a bill like a bird, and
large eyes. Its tail was diamond shaped, and
from its body projected ten tentadesor feelers,
which were covered with snekers. The longest
tentacle was ten inches long. The whole fish
was abont twelve inchsa in length. Mr. Stry¬
ker kept th» fish several days and then took it
to Defiance, where many persons have viewed
It. It was pronounced to be a veritable devil
fish.
A WANDERING TURTI-E.
In the eummer of 1840 A. R. Warner, of
Guilford, fonnd in the Unadilla Valley a large
turtle. The shell showed the marks where in¬
itials had been cut in, but the initials of only
one person and the date could be made ont—
“E. B. J., 1835.” Mr. Warner cut “A. R. W.,
1840,” in the shell, and released the tnrtle. In
1880 the turtle was discovered in the same lo¬
cality by some boys. The “E. R. J., 1835,” and
A. R. W., 1840,” were still distinct. In addi¬
tion were “H. J. H., 1870,” “E. B., 1875,” and
“B. B., 1880.” The turtle was again turned
loose. A few days ago it was found again in
the field where it was seen in 1840 by Mr. War¬
ner. No additional carvings were on the shell.
The turtle was no larger than it was forty years
ago, showing that it must have been fully
grown at that time.
AN ANCIENT TRAPPER.
Up a tributary of the Pen-1 d’Orctile river on
which is situated Thompson’s Falls, is a
Frenchman named Baptiste Duehame. He is
103 years of age, and first saw a railway car
last fall when a train crossed the Coriacan dc
file, over which is the highest wooden bridge
in the world. This man has a half-blood
daughter at Corville 70 years old, of whom he
' always speaks as “my baby.” Dueharne was a
] member of Col. Ashley’s expedition in 1802,
and trapped tor the company all that season.
After that he trapped and sold furs to both the
Hudson Bay and American Fur Companies
1 nc ascended the Yellowstone in 1804, and saw
the geysers, but like the other trappers who
' saw portions of the wanderful scenery of the
j park, he was more interested in furs than in
! scenery, and never told any capable writer of

OUR CURRENCY.
It is an astonishing fact that the south
adopted baked beans and codfish balls before
sho took the nimble penny into her good
graces. The latter still remains under the ban,
and is not likely to be regarded with favor for
some time to come. New Orleans is making an
effort to get the penny started in circulation in
time for the exposition. While the south con¬
tinues to resist the introduction of a smaller
coin than the nickel there is an increasing de¬
mand at the north for the coinage of half
eents. Nearly every country hut aura has a
•mailer coinage. The French centime is only
one-fifth of one cent, the Portuguese rci only
one-tenth, and the Chinese cash or sen, even
of less value. Many small articles in this coud
try are sold at the rate of two or more for a
cent, but when a customer does not want as
much sb a cent’s worth he feels the inconveni¬
ence and injustice of being compelled to buy
more than he wants simply because the ftov
ernmt nt has failed to provide us with small
coins. There iB room for reform in this direc¬
tion.
TELEGRAPHING WITH TEETH AND
EYELIDS.
J. T. Norris, of Springfield, 0., the detect¬
ive, does a trick that probably no other man in
the country can imitate. He takes a silver
coin, usually a dollar, and places it on his
tongns between his teeth. With his tongue he
strikes it against his teeth with the sound of a
telegraphing instrument, tbe opening and
closing of tho circuit being exactly imitated.
Norris used to be an operator, and by means of
tho coin can telegraph words so distinctly that
any telegrapher can easily read the message.
In this manner he telegraphed fifty words a
minute. A Republican reporter wrote out a
message on a Western Union blank, and hand
! cd it to tho detective. The two operatives in
charge at the Southern took down the words as
fast os Norris produced them with the coin.
Mr. Norris can stand up before a telephone,
and in this novel manner telegraph a message
which any telegrapher can read with facility.
But tho most wonderful thing is to see him tele¬
graph with his eyelids. The dots and dashes
■»f the telegraphic alphabet he indicates by
more or less rapid opening or shutting of the
eyelid*. In this manner he can converse with
an expert without uttering a word.
