i Everyone who has had a good taste of life upon the border and groat plains knows the peculiar pathos of a j burial there. Poets and writers of romance have done some of their most pathetic work in telling of deaths among the pioneers on the borderland of civilization and of the lonely graves there, hundreds of miles from any comi munity or heme. But there have been ■ some circumstances connected with interments in the west, as known to the ' cowboys of twenty-live years ago, that ! was so unexpected as to be highly : humorous. One of the first funerals to i occur at Grrat Bend. Kan., says the Philadelphia Times, possessed unprecedented circumstances enough to make j it humorous, if t!ie unexpected is an ati tribute of humor. I An old and somewhat disliked man, j Henry Turley, had been confined to his | bed several weeks by a disease which baffled the skill of the would-be physicians who attended him. He seemed to grow steadily worse and his death was hourly expected. Then the cold weather, which had continued for nearly a month, was broken by a few spring-like days. The citizens of the little settlement took Turley’s case In hand and decided that as his deatli was certain to occur in a few days at most, it was better to take advantage of the mild weather and dig a grave for lum tlian to await his death and the probable return of cold weather, when grave-digging would bo extremely difficult. The grave was accordingly dug. Turley was so full of wrath at having his grave prepared in advance that he rose from his bed and the same day left town in disgust. It appeared that he had been shamming all the time in order to obtain free victuals and care. Regrets were expressed that he had not been buried without waiting for the usual preliminary of death. The pleasant weather was soon followed by a severe storm of snow and sleet. During the first night of the blizzard a bibulously inclined attorney, Godfrey by name, being, as was his wont, in an advanced state of intoxication, lay out all night in the snow. Two days later he died from the effects of his freezing. IIis relatives were telegraphed for and responded that they would come immediately. The storm increased in violence, and, lasting nearly a week, blocked the avenues of travel in every direction.

A low days after Godfrey's death nearly the entire male population of the settlement congregated at the combined post office, saloon, grocery, etc., to swap stories, eat crackers and imbibe whisky. When all hands were pretty well warmed up, the subject of Turley’s shameful deception and unoccupied grave was freely discussed It was decided that such a good grave ought not to be wasted, and that in order to make use of it, Godfrey's remains should be speedily interred in it. This met the approval of all present, and, with the rude coffin in one wagon, and as many as could crowd into another, and a number of horsemen at either side, the funeral cortege started in falling snow. Several times on the way a dog belonging to a member of the party started a jackrabbit and each time the horsemen assisted in the chase. The further the procession got from the starting point the more the mourners jumped from the wagon and aided the horsemen and dog in chasing the rabbit. The grave was reached and found to be partially filled with snow. Then another attorney, who differed but little from the ouo in the coffin except that the latter was dead, proposed, as there was no minister of the gospel present, to do his best to deliver a funeral oration. He hud hardly got more than well started when some one shouted that the dog had started another rabbit. Away went horsemen, footmen, orator, mourners and all in pursuit of the rabbit and dog, leaving teams, coffin and corpse to take care of themselves. The chase was long and exciting, as the dog, while always seeming about to get the rabbit, failed to do it. Left to themselves, the team got tired of standing in the storm ami ran away toward home. When the crowd straggled back the snow had filled the grave and obliterated the wagon tracks. As the cemetery -consisted of only that one grave and had no other marks to distinguish it from the rest of the prairie, they were by no means certain of its location in the snow. So they trudged off home in the snow, and arrived to find the teams were there before them. The “tailboard” was out of the impromptu hoarse, and the coffin had disappeared. It was not recovered till the snow had partially melted, more than a week later. Then the relatives arrived and took the body east with them. There is a little world of pathos in the simple story of the first burial at Lawrence, Kan. Moses Pomeroy arrived from Illinois in 1854 and set bravely to work to make a home for a dear one left behind. By dint of much labor bo improved his homestead considerably, and erected a tiny but comfortable house. Then, full of high hopes for the future, he wrote for ins waiting sweetheart to come. Tho journey, mostly by stage" and wagon, was a long one, and when she arrived the girl found that her lover had expired the day before. The day after the girl's arrival the body- of her lover was borne to the tomb. The rude coffin had been taken to the grave in advance. Laid on a bed of fragrant prairie flowers, the body was carried in a lumber wagon to the cemetery. The head of the dead man rested in the lap of the living girl, who shielded tho form as well as possible from all jar that came from the passage of the springless wagon over the unworked roads.

SUUHfcS UF MUWIAN WHtalVO, ritiable Condition of Shabby GeotUlty Soon at th* National Capital. Washington has more than its share of ‘ ‘the cankers of a calm world and a long peace.” Some are reduced gen- : tlemen, who Just manage to keep their heads above water and maintain a depreeating front in their club and society. They are too lazy to work, says the Washington Post, and have long since run through with what little they ; have had in a brief splurge, and are | now getting more shabby genteel and . seedy looking every day. They retain, ' however, the debounair air of men of wealth and In-ar themselves bravely, J but oh, the pinching and struggling to ' keep up appearances! Oh, the sickening ordeal of having to face tho lodg-ing-house keeper, and, worst of all, tho washerwoman! Oh, the mortification of belonging to a club, and being unable to do more than sit in it, and stay there, to be marked by the servants as a poor devil who never by any chaneo is ablo to reciprocate hospitality or order anything, to have club dues amounting np with no prospect but through a loan to meet them; to have the cold shoulder shown by the very men ivho helped him to run through his money, and who now give him a cool noil instead of both outstretched hands. This is the pity of it, yet there are men who endure it rather than leave Washington. Such is the upas tree effect of the life here on them. Lower down in the social strata you find in these eddies of the stream of humanity, the hotel corridors, regular habitues, shabby genteel, social, political and business failures, lobbyists, promoters, hangers-on of official magnates, men dismissed from the army and navy, cheap sporting “gents,” all with red noses to a man. Everyone of them has seen better days, and they all retain even at their shabbiest stage the manners of their prosperous years, but they are tainted with an element of fawning, and, sadder still, with a forced gayety and familiarity, painful to see and endure. Hero is an ex-metnber of congress, shorn of his previous importance and plumage, an exile and “back number" from his former district, who has turned claim agent, or is charitably supposed to be practicing law, while sinking down lower and lower every day. Here is a once prosperous business man who seems to have taken a contract or made a wager to drink up all the w hisky in town. There a poor wretch who has spent the best years of his life in office, has lost his place and Is now one of the procession of hotel corridor ghosts. There some brokendown politician, who has been hanging on here for years and has filed applications enough for office to start a paper mill. The hotel corridors are havens of rest for these poor, harmless, heartbroken “cankers of a calm world and a long peace.” A MAN'S LAUGH. An InclJent Which Goes to Drove That It Never C t)an£,oftIf the Bertillon system of identification had a phonographic record of the laughs of criminals it would probably Vie as near i>er feet as nn identification system can be. Tho fact that man comes into the world wailing has been regarded as a sort of prophecy of the truth that as a rule the sorrows of life outnumber the joys when all the returns art* in, but an optimist might see an opposite significance in the fact that a man's laugh remains the same through all tho changing years. When tho cares of manhood succeed to the happy-go-lucky days of boyhood, says the Chicago Tribune, this laugh of his may be called into use, as it were, very little, but when it is put into operation It is the same old laugh and every boyhood friend would know it instantly. An old soldier who fought through the war with Fred Hartwiek, who drives a mail collector’s wagon on the North side, happened to be in Chicago for a week not long since. He heard that Mr. Hart wick was on Postmaster Heslng's staff and went to the federal building to find him. He took his station at a point past which all the carriers filed to report for duty and as Hartwiek came along some one pointed him out. Without disclosing his own Identity the veteran approached and began asking Hartwiek if he remembered various incidents in the history of that regiment during the war. Of course he did, and they soon fell into conversation, organizing a kind of camp-fire meeting between themselves. One member of the regiment was in business in New Orleans, another was in a bank down in the state, several were farming, one was the local manager for one of the big commercial agencies in one of the large cities, and so on. Several times Hartwiek asked his old companlon-at-arms his name, but the latter only smiled and went on with the conversation. Finally, when it became necessary for them to separate, as Hartwiek was obliged to go out on his run, the man laughed as he said: “Well. Fred, I never thought you’d forget me after what we went through together.” “The minute he laughed,” said Mr. Hartwiek, in relating the incident, “1 knew just who he was and all about him, but I hadn't seen him for thirty years, and he had changed so I couldn't have told him from Adgm. His laugh had grown older, too, of course, but it was the same old laugh.” How a Hall's signal Was Obeyed. One day recently while a New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio freight train was approaching Meadville at a rapid rate of speed, a most remarkable thing occurred. A brakoinan, who was riding on the engine, happened to look back and saw what he supposed was the conductor's arm waving frantically for down brakes. lie notified the engineer, and an emergency stop was made, after which mi investigation revealed the fact that what he took to be the conductor’s signal was only the tail of a big Texas steer that had in some manner protruded through a hole in the side of the «ar, and xvas waving with the wind. This is perhaps the first true story of a bull signaling a train to stop.

vs in c. is ns New Proreas by W hli h Silk r»n Ha Produced from Wood. A process has been discovered by which a material closely resembling nilk may be manufactured from wood. Even now women are walking about the streets of European cities In tho most elaborate gowns of silk in the manufacture of which the worm had no part. In fact, the silkworm has lost its occupation. The palm for this valuable discovery in chemical science must go to Switzerland, fora native of Zurich, Dr. Lehner by name, is the inventor of the process, says the New York World. Some years ago be liegan to make observations on tho habits and physical characteristics of the silkworm and became deeply interested in the subject. He discovered the chemical action which took place in the worm in producing its cocoon, nr.d at odd times sought to counterfeit the work of nature. So convinced did he become of the feasibility of bis ideas that be soon abandoned all other work and devoted his time to this single study, in which he has achieved a signal triumph. In the process of manufacturing tho new fabric the principal ingredients used are sprucewood pulp, cotton or jute waste, etc., combined with a large quantity of alcohol. The use of the substantial or solid materials mentipned creates a market for what was hitherto of no use whatever, being burned in factory furnaces to get it out of the way. Spruce sawdust now has a market value, for this as well as the other materials are digested by a chemical process In which alcohol plays an important part. The material thus digested Is so much like tho cocoon spun by the silkworm that when the two are placed side by side in a finished state it takes an expert to determine which is which. The artificial material at one state is In a liquid condition and of a density about equal to the ordinary sirup of commerce. When in this state a machine of Dr. Lchner's Invention, which may bo called an artificial silkworm, comes into play. This machine, which Is very simple in conotruction, requiring so little attention that It can bo kept at work with about as much labor as Is devoted to a twenty-four-hour clock, performs exactly the same mechanical work that a silkworm does. It draws from the liquid a continuous unbroken thread of even diameter and unlimited length. As this thread Is spun another portion of the machine takes it np and twists it into any desired thickness of j'arn with regularity. Thus tho fabric can be made of any desired weight or thickness, so that it will be seasonable at all times. This artificial silk has been spun in Bradford, England, and worked up into a large variety of fabrics. In the dyeing, weaving, and finishing of these no special treatment has been found necessary. It has been dyed in all imaginable shades and colors, and Giving to the peculiar qualities of the material it takes a dye more readily and gives a more brilliant effect than tho natural article. In texture it is the equal of the best of Chinese and Italian silks, being soft and silken to the touch. It is expected that it will be used largely in combination with natural silk and cotton for producing brocaded effects. These latter have been so expensive lately ns to be out of reach of all but the fattest purses. The new invention will greatly reduce the cost.

It is a remarkable specimen, not only because of its great size but because of three inscriptions on its shell, which show that it is nearing the century mark and has been quite a traveler. The first inscription was dated “St. Augustine, Fla* 1821,” and reads: #•••. * : On Oct. 20, 18?0, Spain ceded I ; Florida to the Fnited States. ! !

DISCOVERY

Many years ago Dr. R. V Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalid, Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y ., co ™‘ ! pounded this ni dicine of vegetable mgrediI cuts which had an especial eflect upon the ‘ stomach and liver, rousing the organs to , healthful activity as well ;.s purifying and ! enriching the blood. By such means the I stomach and the nerves are supplied with I pure blood; they will not do duty without it i any more than a locomotive can run withi out coal. You can not get a lasting cure of Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, bv taking artificially dig .-sled foods or pepsin—the stomach must do its own work in its own way. Do not put your nerves to sleep with socalled celery mixtures, it is better to go to the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve cells on tlie food they require. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Affections, such as sleeplessness and weak, nervous feelings are completely cured by the " Discovery. ” It puts on healthy ilesb, brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the

HE QUESTIONED THE CAPTAIN. A New York Traveler Violates Salt Water Etiquette Only Once. “Once, on an ocean steamer," said a traveler to a New York Sun writer, “we hud a heated shaft bearing or something of that sort, so that the engines stopped for five or six hours. I had often read and heard about hotv the captain' was the great mogul aboard ship - , how about all things pertaining to the affairs of the ship he held aloof and must not be approached by tho passengers, and that it was a sort of violation of the unwritten rules of the sea for a passenger to ask the captain anything. And there may be some reason in all this. If one passenger might ask him forty might, and surely the commander of the ship ought not to be unnecessarily disturbed by useless questions. Wo had been lying there three or four hours xvaiting. There was no danger whatever, but it was a delay and an incident of interest, and, of course, all the passengers talked about nothing else. The common information was that the delay was due to a heated bearing. “I was standing on the upper deck by the door to tho main companionway leading to the deck below. The captain came along the upper deck from the after part of the ship and went below by that companion way. He must pass within a foot of me. and, under the i-ircuinstances, it did not seem Bke a violently unreasonable breach of salt water etiquette to ask him what was the matter, which I did. A passenger who stood on tho other side of tl.e doorway looked at me with the amused smile of an older traveler.

SOWED BY THE WIND.

IJot7 Nature Has Provided for tho DDtrlbution of Nome Heeds. Frof. F. V. Coville, of the agricultural department, lectured recently on the “Natural Distribution of Seeds.” He said, reports the Washington Post, there is a distribution of seed caused by the wind, and he cites the common silver mnple seed, wliich falls so tliick in this city late in tho spring. The tvings attached to this seed permit its wide dispensation by the wind as it falls from the tree. Another variety of natural distribution was shown in the Russian thistle, which is light and takes the form of a tumble weed, passing sometimes at the rate of a hundred miles a day over the wind-swept plains, and planting itself wherever it lodges. The milk weed was displayed as a fine specimen of the variety of seeds spread by the wind. This seed is so light the atmosphere will carry it for many miles from its mother plant. Water is an important factor in nature’s distribution, and he exldblu.d seed which are supported on the surface of the water until they mature sufficiently, when they arc broken from a substance like cork, which supports them, and sink to plant themselves in tiie bed of a stream many miles away from the plant which sheds them. Mistletoe, tho. speaker explained, is spread by the seed sticking to the bill of birds when they endeavor to eat it, and it is subsequently deposited by them in their efforts to free their bill on the limb of a tree, where it matures. One of the most remarkable provisions of nature was displayed by tho speaker in the common witch hazel, which develops in a capsule that opens as the weather grows warm and tho seed within it pops out, shooting as far as fifty and seventy-five feet away from the parent tree, spreading the plant in the most remarkable way.

The captain said nothing; he simplypassed on, to all outward appearances quite unconscious of my question or even my presence.” WEDDED BY ELECTRICITY.

From Alpha to Onu-i-a the Affair Was Hun hj- Chained 1.1 );ht ning. At a wedding in one of the mideast cities, just before the entrance of the bride, the room burst into a flood of light from the numerous multi-colored el 'ctrie lamps hidden among the decorations. The entrance of the bridal couple was signalized by the automat i: ringing of electrical bells and playing of electrical musical instrum -nts. I firing the wedding breakfast, after the first course, the light faded, and then suddenly there glowed illumihutions from a swarm of electric lamps, iiidd n among the masses of flowers, glowing from the hearts of jellies and from translucent vases it seemed as if t lie genii of the lower world wore every-

where at work.

lu this magical entertainment it folhmib ili.it the bride iiorsolf must not l)e left out. In her hair gleamed an untwinkling star, and, at the first toast, two serpents slowly uncoiled themselves- altogether too suggestingly— from the bottle standing before the happy couple. Coffee was prepared in view of tho company by an electric heater, and congratulatory speeches were applauded rapturously be an electric kettle-dram placed under the table. Upon the dispersion of the company the electric current set off a novel pyrotechnic display. Horres and Earthquakes. It is a well-known fact, says the Mascot, that horses can hear sounds that are not perceptible to the human ear. For days previous to the great earthquake in the Riviera the horses of that locality showed every symptom of fear, which continued without change of character, unless it was in the direction of [greater frenzy, till the fury of the great convulsion broke forth.
