DECREASE OF DRUNKENNESS.
What a Hospital Attendant lias Noticed
Treatment of .Jimjani Cases.
“It is my belief," said a gentleman
who for the past six years lias been in
attendance six nights out <>[ the seven in
every week at the Chambers street hos
pital, “that drunkenness is on the de-j
crease. TJiere is enough of it left,
gmxlness knows, but there is surely less j
than there used to he. Out of the I
dispensary patients who five years ago j
used to come here to be treated, it seemed j
to rue nearly half of them were suffering j
from alcoholism of one kind or another. J
They sat in a row on the benches, wait
ing their turn, and nearly every night
one or more of them leaped into i 1i> I
middle of the room with the jimjams, |
and uttered a whoop that would send the j
rest (lying out of reach. That was so j
common then we thought nothing of it. !
Sow it rarely happens. I haven t seen I
a. jimjani ease here this long time. 1 '
don't believe it is too much to say that j
we do not get half the alcohol oases we :
need to. It certainly isn't because the j
whisky is better. It is because therein j
less of it drunk. It must be. The j

France was iuta state of intense excite-
j meat a few days ago, liecause Le Gaulois

“Hotbeds of flirtation,’’ expresses a
very usual opinion of co-educational
schools. As a matter of fact it is curious
to note the wide differences in the rela
tion of the sexes that exist in different
institutions. There may be or may not
be schools where the students flirt; there
The remains of the Emperor Napoleon I i cer tainly are schools where it is not at all
j unusual for them to fall in love, contract
i engagements and in due time get mar

I paired off to make life's journey together
after passing the preliminary barriers of
differential and integral calculas in com
pany, and I am bound to add that these
marriages, so far as I have been informed
of them, have turned out most excel
lently well. The mingled rivalry and
have been stolen by sacrilegious hands,
and scattered to the four winds.

Figaro immediately replied that the

view with Gen. Surnpt, governor of the
Invalides. He has guarded the tomb of
the Emperor for the past nine years and
declares the story false in every detail.

“Yet with the decrea e in the number

patients who have been cared for here, j
Yve have now turned our twentieth thou- i
sand for the year 1887, and there are
nearly three months of the year leit. j
Tins is several hundred more than we 1
treated in all last year. Last year the
total number treated was 19,837; the
year before that 18,182. In 188-t
almost doubled over the number treated
in 1882. In 1882 we treated i».(JGO, and
in 1884 10,080. It is not increase of
population, of course, which lias done
this; it is increase in the popularity of
the hospital. It has become kr. -wn that
surgical cases, to which this hospital is
devoted, arc treated instantly. When a
jnc.ii is hurt and brought here, he will
(in T a surgeon ready for him and will
receive immediate attention.
“As to the jimjani cases I was speak-
jpg .C)Jr. we only treat them temporarily,
an ' then, if they are bad, send them off
to B ilevue. We of course have to send
to of At hospitals all cases requiring long
nursing and attendance—that is, when
the patient is able to be moved. Our
accommodations are limited here, and
we would be swamped otherwise, and
have no room or time to accommodate
those who are hurt and must be attended
to at once. When a jimjam case turns
up we have a mixture which we give,
and if that fails and the patient is really
in for it, we get him quiet and then send
him where they are prepared to handle
such cases. It very often happens that a
man will come in shaking all over, and
with the horrors after him, and thinking
lie is right on the verge, when he isn't.
Yve give him some of the mixture, and
teil him to come back for more if he gets
afrui 1 again that they are coming on.
In many cases they do not come back for
more than the second dose, anti that gen
erally titles them over that particular
time. But, as I said, we don’t see more
than half the number of these cases we
used to. If it isn’t temperance it is stale
beer. But I think there is much less
crazy drinking than there used to be.”—

before robbers could enter the crypt
they must have overthrown a marble bal
ustrade an>l broken two bronze doors.
The cover of the coffin is porphyry, and
weighs 24.000 pounds. It is fastened by
bronze hinges, and to raise this immense
block at least fifteen workmen would be
obliged to labor for days, not with simple
tools, but with .complicated scaffolding,
pulleys, ropes and the like. Since Napo
leon was buried in the Invalides not a
workman has entered the crypt. Even
during the Commune not an attempt was
made to violate the emperor’s tomb.
Napoleon’s ashes repose on the hanks of
the Seine, in the midst of the French
people he so much loved.”
After this interview the French nation
was satislied that since May 7, 1801,
when the body of the emperor was placed
in the marble sarcophagus, in the presence
of Napoleon HI, Prince Jerome and the
dignitaries of state, “not a workman had
entered the crypt.”
Two Pickpockets Meet.
An Englishman dressed in the height
of fashion descended from a street car in
Paris and inquired of a gentleman just
passing the way to the Pantheon. “I
am going there myself,” was the re
sponse, “and shall be happy to show you
the sights.' ’ His service was gladly ac
cepted. Having done the Pantheon, the
Englishman Invited liis French guide to
settle accounts by accepting a lunch at
the nearest cafe. Having eaten and
drank his fill, the Frenchman took his
departure and the Englishman called for
the waiter to settle liis account. The
reckoning made, he put his hand into his
pocket and uttered a terrible cry, screwed
up a grimace yet more terrible, jumped
tip and upset half a dozen chairs and two
tables, and, brushing past the guests and
waiters, all dumb with astonishment, ran
out into the street anti cried at the top of
Ms voice: “Stop, thief!” Thanks to the
extraordinary development of his legs, lie
overtook his guide and grabbed him.
Police enough liad already been attracted
to the spot, and they both were taken to
the station. There a most amusing dis
covery was made. The French guide, it
is true, had the Englishman’s purse in lii$
pocket, but his own was gone, and that
was found in the Englishman’s pocket.
The two polite friends had been picking
each other’s pocket.—Chicago Herald.
The belief of the French was sadly
shaken when Le Gaulois, not willing to
be accused of hoaxing the public, an
nounced the existence of documents
proving its statement. A personage who
had a conspicuous role in the adminis
tration sent this journal ihe duplicate of
these 217 important documents. From
these it is discovered that Napoleon III
appointed a secret commission, charged
with accounting for the absence of tho
ashes of Napoleon I, at the moment of
opening the coffin in the chapel St.
Jerome, and that Mareclial Vaillant pre
sented to Napoleon III, April 27, 1801, a
report proving the absence of the ashes!
The Gaulois added that the original copy
of tills confidential ‘affair was placed in
the hands of the grand chancellor of the
Legion of Honor, but, as the archives of
the chancellerie were burnt during the
Commune, no one had heard of the mys
terious documents.
While these searches are made, I re
member a conversation I liad some time
ago with a friend of Emperor Napoleon
III. Said he: “When the emperor’s re
mains shall be removed from Chisel hurst
to Farnborough, you will hear something
very curious with reference to the ashes
of Napoleon I.” Then lie told me a long
history, pledging me to secrecy until the
proper time should come for the revela
tion of these facts.
“During the last two years of his
reign,” said my infonSafft, “Napoleon
III became a fervent disciple of spiritual
ism. When he lirst thought of war with
Prussia, he went incognito to the Invalides
every day and there invoked the spirit of
the great conqueror. When he took
command of his troops. b° wished to have
some tangible relic of liis hero beside him,
something that would compel the spirit
of the Napoleon to answer his call. By
stealth, at night, the ashes of Napoleon
were taken from the Invalides, placed in
a portable box, and Gen. Fleury and I
were the only ones who knew that the
conqueror of Jena accompanied liis
nephew in all the battles of the Franco-
Prussian war. One of the causes of the
disaster at Sedan was the fact that in
moving the emperor’s baggage the fetich
had gone astray. Disheartened because
of this calamity, Napoleon surrendered at
once. Afterwards it was found that the
box, so dear to Napoleon III, liad passed
the Belgian f rentier, and from there was
sent to England. 1 know it was the em
peror's wisli that tliis fetich should be
buried beside him, and feel confident that
Napoleon I now lies at Chiselliurst. ”—

Such cases as these are not, however,
typical. A great majority of the co-edu
cational colleges are more after the pat
tern of Boston university where, as one
might expect, perhaps, from the non
marrying reputation of the Hub, no at
tachment, no especially intimate inter
course. not the faintest suspicion of a
flirtation between students and opposite
sexes has been known since the founda
tion of the school. The after fortune of
every student is accurately known
through the full records kept by the
graduating classes, and a year or two
ago, when I last gave my attention to the
matter, ihe only marriage that had
within the annals of the colleges taken
place between ex-students, was that of a
daughter of the late Bishop Gilbert
Haven, whose acquaintance with the
man who became her husband was
formed after her successful graduation.

Wood Stews 1 i Northern Siberia.
We have all had our sympathies aroused
by statements that the natives of north
ern Siberia are often during famines
compelled to resort to wood for food.
Now, the fact is that careless observers
have simply been imposed upon or they
have junq>ed at conclusions without car
ing or perhaps being able to make inqui
ries, and because they thought that a
statement of these views would make a
heartrending page for their books, and by
inference show what a distressing time
they themselves must have had among
such surroundings. Wood in a certain
form is a most common and constant
article of diet on the’Lena river, all along
the north coast and in the immediate
neighborhood of Yakutsk—in fact, wher
ever the Yakut resides. North of Ver-
choyansk. except in a few sheltered val
leys, it may be said there is no other
wood than the larch, and for miles soul!
of the tree limit absolutely no other.
The natives eat it because they like it.
Even when fish are plentiful, it usually
forms part of the evening meal, as the
many cleanly stripped larch, logs near
every hut testify. They know by experi
ence that the fact of their eating wood
arouses the sympathies of strangers, and
shrewdly use it to excite pity and to ob
tain a gift of tea and tobacco. They
scrape olf the thick layers immediately
under the bark of a log, and chopping it
fine, mix it with snow. It is then boiled
in a kettle. Sometimes a little fish roe is
mixed with it, and farther south cow’s
milk or butter. I have often seen it eaten j
without anything additional, though, as
in the present instance, there was ap
parently enough other food on hand.—

The Bridge of Love.
The female barber, with a pair of
tweezers, removes every outlying hair
from the region of the lady's eyebrows.
It is the ambition of every Persian woman
that her eyebrows shall meet, or at least
appear to do so. So attractive are eye
brows that meet that they are called the
“bridge of love.” The first care, then,
of the Persian beauty is with a little pencil
of antimony to unite her eyebrows, and
then she proceeds to make them, appear
of unnatural thickness. Her eyelashfcj-
are penciled, too, in a manner not un
known to our countrywomen.—Pail Mall

Our Indians Not Dying Out.
The Indians who still live on reserva
tions in the state of New York are in
creasing in number. The popular im
pression that our Indians are dying out
seems to be incorrect so far as it relates
to Indians who have abandoned migra
tory life and become partly or wholly
civilized. The Cherokees of the Indian
territory have nearly doubled in number
since 1S10, and the remnant of the Six
Nations, now settled on farms in Canada,

The Air of Colorado.
All the resorts in Colorado known to
me where one can obtain the comforts of
life essential to improvement are at an
altitude of several thousand feet, and
this fact or some oilier unexplained cause
seems to create a necessity requiring
those who improve or recover there to
continue their residence in order to main
tain their improvement, I cannot claim
that this theory has been proven, but it
is sufficiently believed to demand consid
eration. So many invalids have been
Sent to Colorado only to die, being be
yond the possibility of recovery any
where, that I think additional knowl
edge from careful observation of results
is essential to the formation of a satisfac
tory opinion in regard to the effects upon
those seriously diseased.
For those slightly diseased, or with a
delicacy arising from hereditary tenden
cy, Colorado seemingly ought to be one
of the best resorts. It has one marked
advantage in having its mountain resorts
;md high altitudes for summer within a
few hours from Denver. The air of Col
orado is exceptionally fine and bracing
both in summer and winter, and very
comfortable places to reside may be
found for both seasons. For such as
have seated throat or lung disease life
may be prolonged and made more com
fortable. if the case be not already too
serious for such a result to be attained
anywhere; but beyond that Colorado
Joes not, so far as I can loam, offer any
reasonable hope.—William Smith Brown

Even this figure is independent of the

ruled by the emperor of China, therefore,
exceeds 400,000,000, and still displays a
tendency to Increase.
As the population of India exceeds
250,000.000, the Indians and Chinese to

that “man believes” tliis and that.
There are many races of men, but some
of the foremost among them, e. g., the
French and the Arabs, scarcely increase
at all, while a few. e. g., the Ottomans,
slightly decline. If the process now go
ing on continues for another century, the
world will belong in the main to four
races, or rather peoples—the Teutons,
most of whom will speak English; the
Slavs, the Chinese, and the natives of
India. It is quite possible, however,
that they may quarrel, and giat their
march toward the mastery of the planet,
which else will belong to them like a
cheese to mites, may be seriously checked.

One of the Late Pastimes.
One of the most interesting of the so-
called “pastimes,” which have of late
been introduced into the home circle
under the name of art, is that of model
ing in wax. It is not only interesting
jukI amusing; it is instructive. A pound
of wax will keep a large family quiet and
busy for a whole evening, and aside from
the often curious results of the two or
three hours' work, there has been gained
an idea of anatomy which the workers
were quite unaware of. It is easier to
model a head, such as it is, in wax, than
to make a drawing; the light and shade
is made with every pressure and there is
nothing fiat, so that it is a more prolific
medium than charcoal and paper. At
first the amateur produces a rather
archaic object, but during the evening,
after he has had a little facility added to
his hand, he will discover that he has
been more of an observer than he was
conscious of. He will also glance up
from liis work and look at some member
of the family to locate the ear, or eye, or
chin, and so by degrees he constructs a
really good head and in a week’s time is
able 10 obtain a likeness of some mem
ber 1 >f the family. So. little by little, the
arts are creeping into the shop and home.
It is by this medium we shall be able to
add more interest to the higher and more
complete arts and the observer who has
handled ihe wax at home will be better
An Invention for Windmills.
Windmills are a very ancient inven
tion, but are not of much practical value
in a country where fuel is cheap, from
the extreme irregularity of the wind
upon which they depend. It is hoped
that a remedy for this defect has been
found by the Due De Feltre in the trans
formation of the surplus energy of windy
weather by causing it to drive a dynamo,
thus converting it into electricity, with
which he charges batteries of storage
cells. These in turn can be utilized to
drive the machinery in time of calm.
Any such plan is, of course, attended by
a very large waste of power, but when
the original quantity is so enormous as it
is in a gale of wind, waste is a matter of
very little moment. Before the world is
many generations older more attention
will have to be given to the question of
yoking the great forces of nature to our
machinery and utilizing the enormous
energy of the winds, waves and tides,
not to mention water power and the di
rect radiation from the sun. Our store
of coal will doubtless last for many a
long day to come, but we ought not to
forget that we are a race of spendthrifts,
living on our capital, and that we must
not miss any opportunity of economizing
the limited resources of our estate.—

Advice to Invalids.
I think that no medical man should
send a patient to any place with which
he is not personally familiar. He ought
to know just what hotels are in good
sanitary condition, and the many littles
that make up such a mighty muckle to
liis sick client, who, in default of such
qualified advice, is quite as likely to come
back to a home under ground ?.s to gain
substantial benefit. There is sufficient
evidence now that Florida, and, indeed,
any damp, warm country, is not a fit
place for consumptives. What I have
said before is worth repeating here:
Discovery of an Old Norse War Sliip.
No object so thoroughly fascinated me
in a visit to Norway and Sweden during
the summer of 1882 as the splendid ex- j
ample of ancient shipping discovered i
shortly before at Gokstad, on one of the j
peninsulas of southern Norway. The
length from stem to stern over all is
78 feet, the keel alone measuring GO feet.
The breadth of beam is 16 1-2 feet, and
the depth, about 4 feet. Oak alone was
used in the construction, the body being
unpainted, while the stem and stem posts
were decorated. The planks were laid
on over the frame timbers in our lap-
streak style, each overlaj»ping the one
below r it, and were fastened together with
iron bolts riveted and clinched upon the
inside—“clinker built, ” as we now call
it. The planking was lashed to the
frames by means of projections, with
wicker like cords or withes, made from
the roots of trees: and the seams were
calked with hair of cattle spun into a
cord of three strands, and this was not
driven into the crevices, but laid in when
the planking was put together.
From this method of construction, as
well as from the character of the relics
found and the use of the vessel as a
means of sepulture, Mr. Nicolaysen infers
that it was built during the later iron
age, or between A. D. 700 ancl 1000.—
