CONCERNING SUDDEN DEATHS.
AS A HAIR GROOMER.
BEET SUGAR.
it* Growing Frequency Attributed to the
Excitement ol Modern Life.
Perhaps sudden death may be one of
i he penalties which we have to pay for
a highly advanced civilization. The
feverish excitement, the incessant effort
necessary to support existence, which is
to many men a sea that has no ha\en, a
struggle that knows no lull, must inevit
ably tell, one may reasonably suppose, on
the heart's action, if a man escapes the
ordinary forms of nervous derangement.
Sudden death, whether the result of
morbid agencies so subtle that they evade
diagnosis, or so insidious that the\ an
ticipate prognosis by suddenly and unex
pectedly terminating life, is becoming so
common that it forms one of the distinct
ive features of modern pathology. The
form in which it commonly appears now
may be said to be the result of obscure
cardiac affections, and it was compara
tively more rare, both in ancient times
and among our forefathers, compared
with its present frequency.
During the earlier and even the me
dueval centuries of the Christian era, sud
den death was regarded with especial
horror, and in the litany of the Anglican
church is represented as heading the list
of the most terrible calamities incident to
humanity In pagan antiquity, on the
other hand, a sudden death was held
to be the crown of the blessings that
heaven could bestow on man. Ihe
‘Greeks represented Death as a pleasing,
gentlo being, while their conceptions of
an after life were gloomy.
Socrates regarded death as “an indiffer
ent accident.’ Much depends on the
circumstances under which death piesents
itself, as well as the state of man s con
science and the condition of his worldly
affairs. As years roll on death becomes
less and less dreaded. Aged people gen
erally leave life without regret. Julius
Caesar is said to have wished for sudden
death, but he said so just before he was
slain, and when the mission of his life
bad been accomplished. Charles II could
apologize to his courtiers for being such
an “unconscionable time in dying. . Vol-
taire, and Hume, and Rousseau weighed
pros and cons for sudden death, and
affected to sum up in its favor, but such
a subject is sorry matter either for epi
gram or rhetoric.
In nine cases out of ten death Is a
great calamity. It finds men unprepared;
it deprives them of the alleviations which
rob the summons of many of its terrors,
it often entails embarrassment and mis
ery by cutting off all opportunity of
making testatory arrangements, thereby
bequeathing a direful legacy of feud and
estrangement to families who might have
lived in harmony.
The moral, and a very practical one it
is, is that the increasing frequency of
sudden deaths is to be regarded with
alarm, softened by a hope that med
ical science may be able to arrest its
progress, and that a proper regard for
their domestic responsibilities will induce
sensible men not to continue to defer the
proper arrangement of their affairs which
ten seconds may make too late.
The three men whose lives, tempera
ments and habits were peculiarly t} pic;tl
of the times in which we live were un
doubtedly Lord Macaulay, William Make
peace Thackeray and Charles Dickens.
These three men, renowned writers, and
each a master of his art, all died com
paratively young, and all died suddenly,
and the first two of heart disease. Death
came upon them, not with slow and
measured steps, but without note of
warning. Apparently there was a pain-
* less passing from time into eternity.
Look at the work these men did. Ma
caulay had already won high reputation
for prose and poetry at the age of 23. and
the famous article on Milton, which at
once won him a reputation as a essayist,
that his subsequent performances in that
line merely confirmed, was published be
fore he was 25 years old.
Macaulay for over thirty years had
three fives, as it were. lie was a politi
cian, he was a man of letters, he was a
man of society ; a great debater and a
good working official; a distinguished
and voluminous author; a diner out
whose company was sought for his con
versation by all who could obtain it.
Hard brain work in parliament and in a
man’s library is scarcely compatible with
grand dinners and breakfasts which,
with delicacies of food and wine, were al
most as baii as the dinners.
Thackeray and Dickens suffered greatly
from the same cause. They were free
livers; they loved society. These two
did an immense quantity of literary
work. Thackeray scarcely fell off in
point of execution, hardly in construc
tion, to the last. “Denis Duval,” a
story which he left incomplete, promised
to be as good as any of its predecessors
except “Vanity Fair,” which is its au
thor’s best work. Dickens was far more
successful in his latter work. “Our Mu
tual Friend'' is a performance more am
bitious than able, with a heavy, involved
plot; and the half of “Edwin Drood”
that has been published is not good
enough to make any reader wish for
more of it. Dickens overworked himself
until paralysis gave him warning, un
happily not heeded, and the end came
suddenly.
A very elegant writer, in a beautifully
written essay entitled “Erroneous No-
• tions of Death Reproved,” observes; “In
particular it is thought that this final
event passes with some dreadful visita
tion of unknown agony over the depart
ing sufferer. It is imagined that there is
some strange and mysterious reluctance
in the spirit to leave the body; that it
struggles long to retain its hold, and is at
last torn with violence from its mortal
tenement, aSid, in fine, that this conflict
between the soul and the body greatly
adds to the pangs of the dissolution. But
it may be justly presumed from what
usually appears that there is no particu
lar nor acute suffering, not more than iB
Often experienced during life, nay, rather
that there is less, because the very powers
of suffering are enfeebled, the very capa
cities of paiu are nearly exhausted.”
Death is to be regarded rather as &
sleep than a conflict of our faculties; it is
repose—the body’s repose after the busy
and- toilsome day of life.— 4 **
now One Woman Earns a Livelihood.
Care of the Haii^-Trlmming.
The names of the occupations which
refined women in reduced circumstances
are seeking nowadays are legion. The
field of type writing, stenography and
telegraphy has leng been crowded by
women who have to earn their own liv
ing and the living of families, and who
cannot do manual labor. Places as pri
vate secretaries, all sorts of clerkships in
shops and business offices, “traveling
agencies,” editorships, employments bj
the score have been added to that which
twenty five years ago was almost the
only occupation in which a refined
woman thrown upon her own resources
could encage—that of teaching children.
There are women now who even write
for the papers, and have attained fame
as reporters, tramping about town at all
hours and in all sorts of weather. A re-
nooter was introduced by a friend, the
other day, to a lady who was earning a
very comfortable livelihood as a hair
groomer.
“I’m not a hairdresser,” she said, ‘1 m
a hair groomer. I don't do up hair at
all. I only comb the hair and give it
that general attention which every
woman’s hair demands two or three
times a week. There are lots of women
in the citv who are in this business and
who would scorn to call themselves pro
fessional hairdressers.
She was an elderly lady, tall and slen
der and dressed neatly and with excel
lent taste in black. Her manners were
gentle and refined. • Her face had that
dark, quiet look seen on the faces of in
valids or of women who had a good deal
of suffering. She was living in a le-
spectable boarding house. _ ,,
“I was cornered and I had to do it,
she said. “I had to earn my living sud
denly, and the only way I could think of
to do so at my age was to care for
women 's hair. My mother was for years
an invalid. She had beautiful hair, and
it used to soothe and quiet her to have
me comb her hair and stroke it softly.
In this wav 1 learned to care for the hair,
especially that of nervous women. There
are a great many women, of course, of
the so called upper classes who can’t
afford to keep maids and yet who want
their hair cared for regularly. They
don’t like to have professional .hair
dressers around them, either. It is to
such women I look for my patronage.
“What do I do to the hair? Well,
first I rub it dry with a soft and then
with a hard brush. I don’t put a lot of
water and ‘cleaning stuff upon the hair
at first as some do, but after I have the
dandruff all out, I wet the hair with a
simple solution which I know to be effec
tive and not deleterious; then I rub and
brash the hair dry’ again. Next comes
the trimming. 1 pull out the gray hairs
one by one. taking care to pull them so
that the scalp is not lacerated, and the
hair cells themselves destroyed. There
is a great art in pulling out hairs. You
must pull them in the direction in which
they he in the scalp just as you would a
sliver of wood from your hand, in the
direction in which it entered. Men or
women can’t pull out their gray hairs
themselves, for it is utterly impossible
for them to see that they are pulling the
hairs out on the proper slant. Of course,
you know that people are very touchy on
the subject of gray hairs in their heads.
It makes a woman have the blues for a
week when her first gray hairs come.
Now, when gray hairs are the result of
age I never meddle with them; the only
thing to do is to let them come. But
they are often the result of sickness
or some other little trouble, and it is
then often possible to prevent their com
ing. Baldness is to be doctored in just
the same way. I can never cure, though,
aud nobody can cure the baldness of peo
ple, like accountants and others, accus
tomed tc work all day with the glare and
heat of gaslights or electric lights beating
down upon their heads. In then- cases
the hair cells have been literally burnt
out.
“Well, finally, I trim the hair. I cut
each individual hair separately so as to
make it even with the others. When
the hair is gathered up in the hand and
cut square across in a lump, as it were,
with the scissors, the straggling hairs are
not reached. The result is only to make
the hair shorter and quite as uneven as
before. Then 1 part the hair simply and
do it up plainly. As 1 told you, if
women want their hair done up in any
of the fancy styles they mustn’t come
to me.
“How much does it pay me? Well, I
generally- think I ought to get $1, at
least, each time I visit a lady’s house. If
a lady lives a great way up town and it
takes' me all the afternoon or morning to
go up aud see her, I want more money, of
course. And, on the conn-ary, when two
or three patrons live near each other,
why, I can moderate the price a little to
each one. It is a humble way of. getting
a living, I know, but it is respectable,
and I shall stick to it.”—New York fc>un.
A Description of the Process of Its Slak
ing Throughout.
When the beets are dumped into the
bins they pass from the farmer and are
ready to start on their way to sugar-
dom. Beneath each bin is a concrete
ditch, and into this ditch the beets fall
through adjustable traps. A stream
of water is constantly flowing through
the ditches in the direction of th'e fac
tory. and it takes the beets to the south
end of the main building and empties
them into a cistern, in which is work-
in" a large screw that extends to the
second floor, from which they
pass into a large, drum shaped, iron
cylinder, called the “wash barrel,”
where the beets are thoroughly
cleaned. When cleaned they are
thrown from the “wash bar
rel” into a hopper from which they
pass into an endless elevator, which
runs to the top floor, where the beets
are discharged into a large hopper.
Then • they pass into a “cage,” which
will hold 1,000 pounds of beets, and
when this weight is indicated the cage
empties its load into the cutter. The
cage and its indicator enable the fac
tory people to closely estimate the
amount of raw material used each day
in the manufacture of sugar. It is
also a check on every department. It
will show any error that may arise in
the receiving or shipping department.
The slicer or cutter is a round iron
shaft with steel knives, capable of
slicing 400 tons of beets every twenty-
four liours, which runs down to the
floor below. The lower end of the
slicer opens into a wooden trough
about two feet square, on the bottom
of which is an endless belt. As the
sliced beets fall from the cutter into
this trough the belt takes them along
as fast as they descend. Placed on
this floor and ranged alongside the
trough is a battery of twelve diffusion
tanks, into which the sliced beets are
next passed and diluted under a water
pressure of eighty pounds. By this
pressure the sugar and salts, amount
ing to 90 percent., are released in
liquid form, leaving only 10 per cent,
of pulp to represent all the solid mat
ter contained in the sugar beet of com
merce. From the diffusion tanks the
liquid sugar is then passed into the
heater. Each tank is emptied every
five minutes. In the heater the liquid
is subjected to 75 degs. F. for some
time, when it is again sent onward to
the carbonization tank, where it is put
through a clarifying process by lime
and lime gas.
From the carbonization tank it is
pumped into the presses, through
which it is run three times under tre
mendous pressure, every particle of
lime being retained in the presses,,
while the liquid sugar is conveyed to
the quadruple evaporator, probably
the heaviest pieces of machinery used
in the whole process of sugar making.
After going through the evaporation
process it is delivered to the vacuum
pans at the top of the building, where
it is crystallized. Underneath the
vacuum pans are placed very large
square receivers, into which it is al
lowed to fall when crystallization has
taken place; these receivers have re
volving screws which form the bot
tom, and are kept constantly in mo
tion to keep the sugar- -from caking.
From the receivers it again descends
to the centrifugal machines, where it
is purged of the molasses and finally
emptied into sacks on the lower floor
and loaded on the railroad cars for
shipment to the refinery.—San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Tlie Women of Coots Rica.
The little delays at the various wayside
stations afford excellent opportunities of
observing the different types of Costa
Ricans; for side by side with the traveled
gentleman, attired with scrupulous re
gard to the fashions of this last quarter
of the Nineteenth century, stand the
barefooted men of the peon class, in
nearfy every case more than decently
garbed, but with the silken scarf about
the waist and the huge machete which
are the insignia of their rank in life. These
groups are always picturesque, for the
costume of the women alone is sufficient
to add a charm to the rapid succession
of pictures ever passing in affluence of
color and form before the eyes of the ob
servant traveler.
These women, even small girls, wear
full starched skirts that touch the
ground, only displaying their small bare
feet as the folds sway in the motion of
walking. From living so much in the
open air and from the amount of exer
cise taken, they nearly all glory in splen :
didly developed chests, which, with their
rounded arms, are fully displayed by
the low, much befrilled waists worn
by them all, differing only in the matter
of more or less adornment. Still, over
their shoulders they dispose the folds of
a silk or woolen scarf, or a bright colored
handkerchief, which usually only reveals
the full throat and the graceful curve of
the arm and shoulder.
While referring to the beauty of the
peon women it must be added that their
pleasing appearance lasts only with the
years of their first youth. Whether the
exercise and the open air together pro
duce a too early maturity, and in conse
quence a too early decay, it is hard to
say—the result is there all the same.
Side by side with the young and hand
some daughter, the picture of bloom
ing health, stands the mother—a worn
and wrinkled crone- the two pictures of
“She;” and looking from one to the
other the heart is moved with the same
compassion with which poor Holly gazed
upon the awful remains of that imperial
loveliness that bad wrought such havoc
with his middle aged affections. Costa

Leprosy is said to be spreading at an

A Tank for Drinking Water.
Many methods are suggested to keep
drinking water cool, but I think the fol
lowing will be found to possess advan
tages over the box system. Procure a
ten gallon jar and an empty salt barrel,
which can be had for the asking, put suf
ficient dry, well tamped sawdust in the
barrel, so that when the jar is placed
therein it will protrude about one inch
above the barrel. Fill in around the jar
with sawdust and tamp as before, leav
ing a space of about two inches to be
filled out with cement nicely smoothed
off and sloped, in order that any drip
ping water will be carried over the edge
of the barrel, and your cooler is com
pleted in about one-twentieth of the
time required to make a box, and far
more handy.—Cor. Boston Budget.
Petroleum Deposits of Peru.
Behind Tumbez are the petroleum de
posits of Peru, which have been known
to the natives ever since the times of the
Incas, but they were ignorant of the
character or value of the oil. A Yankee
by the name of Larkin, from western
New York, went down there to sell kero
sene, and recognized in the material
which the Indians used for lubricating
and coloring purposes the same article he
was peddling. Attempts have been made
to utilize the deposits, which are very
extensive, but so far they have not been
successful in producing a burning fluid
that is either safe or agreeable.-—Win.
Eleroy Curtis in American Magazine.
Rewards of Authors.
. Some recent items in the newspapers
suggest a comparison of prices paid
for various sorts of literary work a
decade back and at the present time.
If the paragraphers are to be trusted—
and in this instance we think they are
—Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett sold
the right of serial publication of her
new novel to The Ledger story paper
of New York for the enormous sum of
$15,000, with the privilege of selling
it in book form in any fashion she
chooses. Certainly this passion for
fiction by the most successful writers,
which the publishers are showing just
now, is a glorious thing for those who
have been fortunate enough to secure
this desirable reputation; and the bid
ding for these books among enterpris
ing proprietors of periodicals lias made
the market value absurdly high; it
takes a long purse to compete for these
stories in these days. But this active
rivalry has been a great gain to lesser
lights as well, we fancy—at all events
among magazine writers.
Ten years ago $10 fora printed page
of 1,000 words was considered high
pdy by the majority of workers in this
field, and now unknown authors,
whose MSS. are accepted, receive sel
dom less than $15, and frequently $20,
per 1,000 words from anv of the great
magazines. Some of the best short
stories ever printed were bought for
$S0 less than ten years back. Now it
is safe to say $200 is the average
among those whose names arc known
to magazine readers, while $150 is a
low estimate for the average story of
even an unknown author, and still the
supply is scant.
Of course for tales by famous
writers, whose names “help sell,” $500
is not too small a sum. Short poems,
not many years ago, were paid for by
$5 and $10 checks, where now the
writers expect $30 and $50, and get
them, too. The reason is not far to
seek—the demand is greater, and the
magazines, because of their enormous
sale, are able to pay liberally. But
has the pay increased for other kinds
of literary work? Ten per cent, on
the retail price of books has been the
average copyright for many years, and
it is scarcely, if at all, higher than
that today; the rate of compensation
for newspaper work and for the
weekly press (except when a great
name is paid for) has certainly not in
creased; in many of the offices we
know of it has been diminished, and
surely the literary hack is now no bet
ter off thnq he ever was. To be suc
cessful, therefore, at least from a
worldly point of view, an author must
produce something striking to get the

Miles of Rose Plantations.
The railroad companies in Lower Hun
gary are successfully making use of the
Provence rose for hedges by the sides of
the railways to protect the ■ tracks from
drifting snow. The writer, in imagina
tion. pictures the scene of a “summer’s,
journey gladdened by the glory of roses,
shining to the right and left of a swiftly
gliding steam chariot, while the sur
rounding atmosphere i3 fraught with
faintly subtle scents which superinduce
a soft languor in the fortunate traveler.”
Between Tatar Bazar and Adrianople
the horseman following the post road on
a sultry June day rides mile after mile
through enormous rose plantations blaz
ing with scarlet and crimson, and giving
out odors well nigh as overpowering as
that of the attar distilled from their gor
geous blossoms. In those fields of queen
flowers he may gaze to his fill cn “the
Damask rose, whose rare mixture doth
disclose beauties pencils cannot feign.”
The uncounted millions of roses grown
in Roumelia are not merely turned to ac
count by the rose farmers for sale to the
preparers of that powerful essence which,
inclosed in long, slender, carefully stop
pered bottles lettered with gold, is still
so popular throughout the east, although
it has quite gone out of fashion in this
country. Many tons’ weight of their
leaves, gathered and packed while they
are freshly f;d!en. are converted into rose
jam, one of the exquisite conserves
which, under the generic name of “dul-
ebatz,” are so admirably confected in

toothsome refection offered to tlie casual

Harper’s Weekly - has a well-established
place, as the leading illustrated newspaper in
America. The fairness of its editorial com-

Will of an Eccentric Doctor.
A curious custom was that which was
observed quite recently in the parish
church of St. Ives Hants. On a table in
the church at the chancel steps were
placed six Bibles, and near them a box
and three dice. Six boys and six girls,
solemnly watched ovc-r by the vicar, Rev.
E. Tottenham, and a crowd of parishion-
er s, threw dice each three times to see
which should have the six Bibles. Three
went to the hoys and three to the girls.
Tlie highest throw was made by the
smallest girl, 37.
This remarkable custom dates from
1678, when Dr. Robert Wylde bequeathed
$2,500. of which the yearly interest was
to be spent in buying six Bibles, not to
cost more than seven shillings and six
pence each, to be cast for by dice on the
communion table every year by six boys
and six girls of the town. A piece of
ground was bought with the money, and
is now known as Bible Orchard. The
legacy also provided for the payment of
ten shillings each year to the vicar for
preaching a sermon commending the ex
cellency, perfection and divine authority
of the holy Scriptures. The will of the
eccentric doctor was exactly -obseived,
and for more than two hundred years
dice were regularly cast upon the com
munion table. Lately a taole erected on
the chancel steps was substituted, the
bishop of the diocese having considered
that the communion table was not for
throwing dice.—Boston Transcript.
Harper’s Bazar will continue to main
tain its reputation as an unequalled family
journal. Its art illustrations are of the high
est order, its literature is of the choicest kind,
and its Fashion and Household departments
of the most practical and economical charac
ter. Its pattern-sheet- supplements and fash
ion-plates alone will save its readers ten times
tlie cost of subscription, and its articles on
decorative art, social etiquette, housekeeping,
cookery, etc., make it indispensable to every

a strong ty pe only a trifle heavier than
the naked wood. It is also claimed that
the coating of copper which is applied to
the letter has the effect of making it as
strong as oue of type metal, and so serv

galvanizing process is simple, for the
type is placed in the ordinary galvano-
plastic bath, but it» not explained just
how the operation » confined to the jj°P
of the letter.—New York Mail and Ex
