I The start was made at Vienna, where I Zeitung had been living for some time, and after the dwarf had placed himself inside and fastened himself in two j lusty porters carried him off to the staj tion, having been paid beforehand a fee of sixty cents each. They gave the box in charge to the stationmaster to be shipped to Madrid by express. According to Zeitung, the journey was an uninteresting one and without incident, but when he got to the Spanisli capital Ids troubles began. ! The Madrid stationmaster evidently had a poor knowledge as to the fragility of glass, for he turned the box over and over, and at last came to the conclusion that its contents ought to be investigated. His aids, therefore, opened it and dragged out the dwarf more dead than alive from the shaking he had receive.L It would have puzzled a man less full of expedients how to further punish Zeitung, but the stationmaster solved the problem by having him arrested for trying to swindle the railroad companies out of their fares. The dwarf's defense was that he was traveling in this manner on a bet of three thousand francs, the terms of the wager being that he was to get to Madrid without a cent in his pocket. Three hundred francs, however, were found concealed in his shoes. The real . reason for his traveling in this remark- | able manner was that he might save j railroad fare and also get a good advertisement for the engagement in Madrid,

for which he was billed.

HIGHLY MAGNETIZED.

tYhat Happened to a Family from Drinking Impregnated Water. A remarkable story comes from the upper Yakima country, Washington. Twa> years ago Peter Stromshadt located on a piece of land near what is now known as llorax Springs, his family consisting of his wife and two children. A few days after his settlement Stromshadt discovered a spring close to the shack ho had built, the water of which was strongly impregnated with Iron, hut not unpalatabble. Stromstadt dug and deepened the spring, and since July, ISOS, the family has used the water for all domestic purposes. One night recently a heavy electric storm passed over the cascades, ae, companied by vivid displays of lightning. The following day Mrs. Stromstadt, while kindling a fire In the stove, found it almost impossible to separate the stove lifter from her hand. Her husband, hearing her scream, ran to her assistance, when, to his surprise, he found that he, too, experienced great difficulty in detaching any article of iron with which his hands came in contact. breakfast was finally prepared and the family sat down to the meal. The children, girls of five or seven years, respectively, drank their milk from tin cups, and upon raising the cups to theii mouths found themselves unable to detach the cups from their lips. Stromstadt, who is an intelligent immigrant fpom Sweden, was nonplussed, and, while unable to account for the wondcrful occurrence, nevertheless laughed at his wife's excited declarations that the family was bewitched. A member of the Portland, Ore., academy < f science, to whom the ciroum.slunec was related, says that the Stromstadt family has become saturate.1 whit iron, which was rendered magn -tic by the passage of electricity from the clouds to the earth during the recent electric storm. Stromstadt himself takes the matter philosophically, and ashl*. from the laeonceniencu of having Ids head decorated with a fringe of knives, forks and teaspoons, which are attached to him, is inclined to regard the occurrence lightly.

Opium In Prixoxi

Twenty per cent, of the inmates of the state prison at Charlestown, Mass., pro habltunl '’piitm-enters, and Warden bridges says that it is next to impossible to prevent the smuggling of this drug into the prison. For one man found in his cell under the influence of liquor, twenty are found stupefied with opium. The warden showed a visitor the other day a little paper package, not largor than the unshnrpcned end of a lead pencil, which contained a fine powder. "There is enough opium there,” said he, "to satisfy several men, and yet how are we going to detect it when baked in the center of a cake?” The prisoners are allowed to receive presents of fruit and cake. One of the confirmed opiumeaters is always well supplied with the

in thin plaits down tha bock of the neck. This is regarded as a sign of maidenhood. After marriage the plaits are cut off and not allowed to be worn

again.

In Suva and Levuka the women generally wear a blouse-shaped pinafore of thin white cotton, but in their homes or in the interior districts they are content with the sulu, a kind of loin-cloth made from the bark of the native mulberry tree and wrapped two or three times around the body. The manufacture of thLs cloth, called tappa, is one of the leading industries in Fiji, the hark being beaten with wooden mallets into thin sheets, which arc joined together as required. When taking part in the meke-meke, or native dance, the girls wears a short, thick petticoat of dried grass, adorned with black and yellow tappa streamers, the bislios remaining bare from the waist upward. The hair is decorated with flowers and frequently frizzed and plaited in a fashion somewhat resembling that depicted in Assyrian sculptures. Most of the chiefs and their wives are extremely particular concerning the clothing of their offspring, the girls usually wearing white cot Pm pinafores, or blouses, over a colored petticoat. The families of the higher class of chiefs possess a somewhat aristocratic cast of features. This is especially noticeable in the descendants of King Thakombau. Among these is his granddaughter, Princess Ada, who possesses many of the intellectual characteristics of the deceased monarch. Her attire, as becomes a member of the Fijian royal family, is somewhat more elaborate than that generally worn, and consists of a thin silk bodice of some light color, edged with ornamented ribbon, and a calico petticoat over a pair of loose calico trousers—a costume admirably adapted to the Fijian climate. Shoes and stockings arc discarded by Fijians of all classes, save on special occasions, and during the hot summer months many of the European residents feel tempted to go aud do likewise.

I“rtv»t(* Who Are Competent Win Slioul-<l«r-Strai>* In Two Year*. The number of men who enter the army with a view to secure promotion, outside of those who have relatives in the service, is limited to a much smaller number than is generally supposed, says Harper’s Weekly. The enactment of the law allowing enlisted men of any grade to apply for examination for a commission removed all incentive for applicants to strive for the lower noncommissioned grades, a most serious defect in the law. It is In keeping with the legislation advocated by Mr. Proctor during his term of office, relative to the gradual elimination 1 of the old soldier, and his replacement by a better class of young men, who were to be secured by holding out as a bait promotion from the ranks. The large number applying for examination at present would naturally lead to the supoosition that Mr. Proo- | ior's object was surely being accomplished, but such I-? not the fact. The enlisted force of the army is today composed of no better men than it ' was ten or twelve years ago; in fact, a ] comparison results favorably to'the old j soldier. The men who arc now being | examined for promotion do not in any | sense represent the great body of en- , listed men of our service. They in reality represent a class conJ sistingof about onc-twentieth of the enlisted force, who have nothing in common with the other nineteen-twen- ] tietlis, and who are fully alive to the advantages they possess over the West Point graduate in securing their shoulder-straps in one-half the time required by the cadet to consummate his high ambition. The enlisted men of the aruq', especially the old soldiers, look upon these men as a favored class—and favored they are in many ways during their preparatory two years' service. The soldier reasons, and justly, that if the four years of preparation at West Point are necessary to fully equip the cadet for the requirements of his position as an officer, it is presumption to suppose that a man of ordinary intelligence can, in two years, in addition to his duties of a soldier, fit himself for the accomplishment of the work required of the graduate. Possessed of the finest military college in the world, which has been the alma mater of the greatest soldiers of modern.times, it should be the aim of the United States to supply the commissioned officers of our army from that source, restricting promotion from the ranks to extreme eases in recognition of extraordinary acts of conspicuous bravery on the battlefield, or other distinguishing feature of the soldier’s service.

HIS FARM SLID AWAY.

Small

The H^markahle Mimortuue of a

K.xnrh Owner In California.

On the slope of the mountains on a branch of Elk creek one homesteader at least has lost his home and is now wondering whether the government will allow him, under the circumstances, to file another claim, says the San Francisco Examiner. Mr. Donohoe, county surveyor of Mendocino county, who lately returned from establishing some boundary lines near

there, says:

“Some time since Fred Houx filed on a piece of land on a mesa on the south side of the stream and erected a cabin and made other improvements thereon. It has been his habit of late to make occasional trips to town, and It was during one of the late rains that he made his last trip. High water prevented his return and probably saved his life. Last winter was unusually severe, the rainfall being over fifty inches. The soil was thoroughly soaked and is of such nature that large patches frequently become loosened and slide down the mountain. “Mr. Houx as soon as possible returned to his claim, and when about a quarter of a mile from homo the horse he was riding became very restless, and it was with difficulty he could urge it forward. The animal finally stopped and commenced to tremble violently. On looking up Mr. Houx saw his cabin coming down the slope, and felt as though he, too, were going with it. The man described the sensation as though one were on a ship at

sea.

‘■‘lie immediately turned his horse back and raced for tinner land. Arriving at a safe distance, he looked back and saw the whole mountain slope moving down into the valley. At first the ground moved very slowly, like a glacier, but it constantly gathered speed and dashed over a precipice with a loud roar into the creek below. completelv damming it. the stream being entirely dry below the dam for some hours. ‘‘The house, three cows and several sheep were completely buried in the debris. The slide was altout a quarter of a mile square and stripped the slope of soil.”

MERITS OF THE RAISIN.

It Has Great Nutritious as ^Voll as Medic-

inal Properties-

As the grape cure has made its way into modern methods of dealing with disease—hundreds filling the German establishments where this return to nature is practiced—many a patient who has found himself made over by the treatment has added to it a use of the dried grape or raisin. Fruit of all sorts is becoming more and more a part of the regular food supply, and a growing constituency- of people announce themselves as believers In a diet of fruit and nuts. Leaving these extremists out of the question, it is certain that health increases for whoever substitutes fruit, both fresh and dried, for a large part of the ordinary diet in dailyuse. One of our best literary workers has found that a bunch of good raisins, with a slice of bread or a crisp cracker or two, make a lunch that not only is satisfying, hut leaves the brain clear for the afternoon’s work. Even in the days of our forefathers the Muscatel raisins, so called, ]>crhaps, from the Muscat grape brought by the Moors from their African home into Spain, were credited with a special recuperative force and known as “raysons of the sun.” They were part of the equipage of a last illness. Saffron water and these “raysons of the sun” were side by side on the neat little table which held also the big l.ible reserved for solemn occasions, all three reminding the sufferer that he or she had done with the

ordinary fare of mortal life.

Hut there need he no such somber association with the raisin of to-day, our

What to Do with the Urn* Ileccmlns a Question of tin Day. The ancients setttled this question by placing the cinerary urn either In its own receptacle dedicated to the gods or in a “columbarium," which was a kind of stone cupboard with many partitions. Such modern nations as the Hindoos and Japanese, who largely follow the practice of cremation, place the few relies left by the tlaraes in a vessel of pottery and deposit it either temporarily or for good in their temples. Sometimes the selected ashes, after reposing in the solemn spot, are thrown into a holy river, such as the Jumna or the Ganges, and in this way no embarrassment arises. The custom s<*ems universal < f desiring to preserve some little portion of the scanty fragments left by the fire. With the Hindoos a whitened l>one or two suffices, but the Greeks gathered up all and placed it in somewhat larger vessels than the vases or boxes used in India and Japan. Every scholar recollects the touching passage in Sophocles, where Orestes, disguised, brings back to his royal sister the funeral urn supposed to contain his own remains. It may be doubted, In spite of the reverence paid to the classic morals, whether what Sophocles writes was high dramatic art. lie makes Orestes relate a long-winded and utterly fitlsc story of how he himself was smashed to pieces in a chariot race, and then he lets the lady go into passionate ami eloquent grief through a hundred lovely iambic lines, shedding tears as much wasted as the water from a rainspout. Still, the Greeks evidently found much that was graceful and tender in the “two handfuls of white dkst’shut in a little urn,” and they lavished art upon the receptacles and knew where to put them. With us, however, if the fashion spreads there really must be some arrangement. In a large family—through a long lapse of years, visited, perhaps, by recurrent influenza—the collection of departed relatives committed to all sorts of urns, vases and jars might become a real inconvenience. Even if a special cabinet were nevised, with separate shelves for aunts, uncles, moth-ers-in-law, and so on, the difficulty at times of letting the house or leaving it for another would be likely to prove extreme. Besides, there would alwaj-s be this danger, which has just befallen France, of losing an ancestor or kinsman in transit; nor do we know by what rule parliament itself could decide how to conciliate the value which a lover might put upon the remnants of his mistress, or a residuary legatee upon the ashes of the millionaire who had enriched him, with the comparative Indifference that railway companies and common carriers would be inclined to show- toward such goods. Clearly there would have to be a tariff, but in drawing up that tariff what puzzling questions might arise! How could we estimate the respective prices of aunts, cousins and second cousins, or draw- a pecuniary distinction between the remains of a second, third or fourth husband of a widow? If, as has been said, the ministers of various denominations have declined to find a place of deposit for these Interesting memorials, the difficulty w-iU really press for solution as the practice of cremation extends, and it must be borne in mind, although new- grief might find a certain mournful pleasure in having its lost ones ornamenting the residence in exquisite porcelain of Sevres or Satsuma, still this feeling wears off, and many people might be glad to have a better place for all that was mortal of an uncle or a grandfather than the parlor mantelpiece or the Chippendale whatnot.

The largest river of any age of which there is any evidence in the world, according to a remarkable geological discovery reported to the Royal society of Canada recently, was a great preglacial river jn northern Canada.
