THE KAST. A UuiosTOWfr (Pa,) dispatch says: "The worst fear touching the fate of the men who -were imprisoned in the coal mine at Youngstown, four miles from this plaoe, by the explosion of fire-damp which took place there at 4 o'clock last evening has been fully confirmed. Six of the miners were taken out last evening soon after the disaster; two of them were dead and two of the other four are so seriously injured that there is no hope of their recovery. This left from fourteen to eighteen men supposed to be still imprisoned in the mine. The exact number is not certainly known. The work of reaching these men was continued industriously throughout the whole night, and by this morning the dead bodies of twelve of them had been brought out and delivered to their friends and relatives at the mouth of the pit. This makes fourteen dead in all, and, together with the four injured, accounts for eighteen, or the whole number supposed to be in the mine. The scenes at the mouth of the pit as the disfigured bodies of the dead were brought to the surface and given into the hands of the wives and relatives was distressing in the extreme, and vividly recalled to mind the piteous wails of the bereaved families who waited at the opening of the Leisenring mine last February for the bodies which they knew were coming lifeless to them from the uncompassionate bowels of the earth. It was a sad spectacle, indeed, and moved to tears many of hundreds who had been drawn to the place by the news cf the disaster.

Medical College Stories, "When I was at the University of several years ago," said a youthful looking physician, MI had been working very hard from the beginning of the session until some time in February, when my eyes commenced to give me a great deal of trouble, and my physician forbade my studying at night until they should get better. Having nothing to do at night, and being a perfect owl, I thought I could not spend the earlier part of my nights better than to improve my knowledge of human anatomy in the dissecting-room. The anatomical rooms at the university are about 200 yards from any house in which people live, and were ohly open during the afternoon. I explained my position to the professor of anatomy and obtained his consent to work there alone at night. He said at the same time that he did not consider it a very cheerful place to enjoys one's self alone, and that I was the first student who had ever worked there at night. Then the janitor assured me that he had often gone to the dissecting-room in the morning and found some of the subjects moved from their position of the previous afternoon; and although he had been janitor to the dissecting-room for more that fifteen years he could not be induced to go there along at night. "I said, however, that I was determined to do the work, if I had to tie the subjects to the table to keep them from going away. So I bought a lamp and sent it over by the janitor. I worked on for a week or so without being disturbed by any post-mortem liveliness on the part of the subjects, and realy liked the idea of working apart from a horde of noisy medical students and the unwelcomed interruptions of the demonstrator. And, I could work much more satisfactorily, too; I could stop when I felt like it, and sit down and study. I learned a great deal of anatomy in 'that way, and my subsequent courses in New York were much easier for that night work. "One night I had gone to the room about 8 o'clock and worked on until 11, when it commenced to rain furiously, I had no umbrella, and. had to wait until the storm was over or get wet. I did not care to risk the latter, and took

up my 'Gray's Anatomy to while away

tne time, x reaa until x was iirea, ana it seemed to be raining harder than ever. Then, for the first time, the janitor's stories occurred to me. I cat and thought about them until I almost had an attack of the horrors, and then tried to forget them by reading more anatomy. Several times I was on the point of going home in spite of the rain, but I knew that my room-mate would insist that I had been frightened into taking water. Finally, about 1 o'clock, my nerves had become strung to the highest pitch, and I started whenever a rat ran across the floor. I was really uncomfortable, and was just thinking that I would go to my room at any rate, when suddenly something struck the window behind me with terrific force, and seemed determined to remove glass, sash, and all to get at me. The whole English language cannot express how thoroughly frightened I was. "The window was immediately behind me, quite small, and about five feet from the floor. I was sitting on a high stool, close to the table, with my book propped against a subject; between me and the opposite wall were four or five tables, on each of which was a subject How I managed to get from my position behind that table to the opposite side of the room I have never been able to determine. At any rate, when I recovered my equilibrium I las standing behind the table across the room, holding a large cartilage knife in my hand. But the window was still rattling a furious rate, and I was certain that I could distinguish something white moving rapidly over it. I stood dumfounded, with my eyes abso1 u tely h an ging out on my cheeks. Finally, and it seemed fully a century,

the white object began to move more slowly, and then disappeared, with a gliding motion from the window. I hurled my knife at it as it passed away, breaking the window. The next morning a large snowy owl was found near by. The great bird had vainly sought refuge from the storm, attracted by the lights in the dissecting-room. "Although I was terribly frightened that time, I never felt the least hesitation about going into the room afterward. Now go on with your story." UI do not know whether my experience was more frightful than yours or not. At any rate I am satisfied with it

LI took my first course of medicine at

Medical College, in the winter of 1876-77. I was a green country boy of eighteen, and had never regarded the dissecting-room as a good place for spending the night. But our room was open until 10 o'clock at night, and my time to work was from 8 until 10. For the first three weeks I did not mind it at all, or at least very little, for I always had company. But on a certain memorable night there was not another man in the room after 9. The other students had agreed to go away and leave me alone. At first I thought seriously of going with them, but it seemed so silly to run away from dead men that I stayed. I regretted afterward that I did not go. "The peculiar feeling which yon describe came over me, and I had begun to wish for a dog or anything else to keep me company, when I heard a noise, and, looking up hastily,I saw something which almost took my breath away. Within ten feet of me was a table upon which was a subject, covered with the usual sheet, and that sheet was moving as though the subject was determined to get up and come after me. There was no mistake about it; the sheet was moving or being moved at a very lively rate. I could almost feel the hair trying to get out of my head. I looked at it and the motion continued. I could not have moved if my life had depended upon it The dead body seemed to be having a regular convulsion under

that cloth, and finally one foot seemed to get out and then the other. My lower jaw seemed to hang down to my waist and I was in an agony of terror. Then the head got out from under the sheet That horrified me into strength and, seizing a leg-bone, I threw it with all the force that I could command at that moving, covering. Then the motive power in the shape of four or five rats jumped to the floor and ran off. But I did not go into that room again at night for a year, and I could scarcely look at a sheet for two months without feeling an almost uncontrollable impulse to run." Those stories reminded me of an ex perience which a student at the Albany Medical College had some six years ago. He was well known as a man of great nerve, and some of the students, desirous of testing him, made a wager that he could not sit all night in the room with a corpse, with his back toward it, only looking at it every half hour. When he did look at it he was to remove the sheet and record the exact appearance of the countenance. He readily agreed to settle the dispute, and in a few days one of the students came to him and said that a stranger had died in one of the hotels, and that he could try his experiment there, tie was to go on duty at 8:30 at night, and was on hand at the appointed time. He made his first examination of the face and saw that it was in a state of perfect repose. He then took his seat, with his back to the body, and read until 9 o'clock, when he noticed what he thought he had at first overlooked that there was a slightly drawn expression of the countenance. This was recorded and he resumed his reading. At 9 :30 he uncovered the face and was astonished to see that the lips were slightly parted and that he could just see the teeth between them. This was also recorded, and he sat down and tried to read, but could think of nothing: except the parted lips. At 10 o'clock he was a good deal excited when he got up to make his observations; his hand trembled as he drew back the cover from the face, and he was horrified to find that one band had moved from its position, that the eyes were half open and thrown back, and that there was a ghastly grin on the face. He tried to detect any movement of the face, but had not the nerve to watch. When he sat down he imagined he heard a movement behind him, but could not look around. He longed for 10 :B0 o'clock, and yet felt that he could not uncover that terrible object again. The half-hour seemed to come all too quickly, and with a fierce determination he looked toward the table and saw that the body had moved. Almost fainting with terror, 3nd yet

nerved by the remembrance of his promise, he drew away the sheet

Great drops of prespiration stood out on his forehead as he saw that the

corpse had raised itself to its elbows,

the hands clinched, tne grin more nor-

rible than before, and the eyes wide

open and staring wildly across the room. Although almost paralyzed with fear, he faithfully recorded what he saw, but he could not look longer; it was too terrible. Then he sat down, and for half an hour his blood was chilled by hearing regular movements behind him. He would have given worlds to look around, and could only restrain himself with the greatest difficulty. Eleven o'clock came finally, and with a great effort he arose to perform his duty; as he turned around he saw the body slowly glide from the table toward him Though terrified beyond expression, and almost crazed with fright, he either became the brave man that he had always been or was driven to desperation, for he seized a chair and made for the "subject," which gave a yell and rushed to the door just as the other students burst in and congratulated him on his wonderrul nerve. He at once saw that he had been the victim of a practical joke and was himself again in a few minutes. They had paid an actor of some note to simulate the corpse, and he almost spoiled the fun by sneezing. Philadelphia Press.

A Simple fiemedy. A correspondent writes us as follows "You published not' long since some very fine articles on dyspepsia, etc. 1 would like to suggest a good substitute for pills, tonics and liver-regulators, used so much by in-door people (who eat but little and have but little appetite for what they do eat), as well as by many others, who suffer from constipation. "It is simply coarse wheat-bran. Onecan easily determine by experiment how much he should use. I have found a half tea-cupful a day to be my own proper quantity. I mix two teaspoonfuls of sugar with the bran, moisten it well with cold water, and eat it raw I find it quite palatable. "Without further change in the diet, constipation will disappear within a day or two, the appetite improve within a week, and, within two weeks, one will find himself after dinner some day with a headache on hand, caused by overeating a shame in one old enough to know that he who has an appetite has something to control. The action of the bran is mechanical. There has not yet been time for any radical improve- -ment of the digestive organs." The above suggestions are well so far as they go. The bran will relieve constipation in all ordinary cases. This is what gave the old Graham bread its valua But the whole wheat-flour introduced within the last few years, we think in most cases, will be found an improvement on both. It is an improvement on the Graham bread, from the method of grinding and from the careful selection of wheat It is an improvement on the white flour plus bran from the great fineness of the bran, thus less liable to cause acidity, and from its comprising that portion of the wheat always bolted out from white flour on which largely the brain and nervous system depends. The whole wheat-flour not only relieves constipation, in many cases, but helps to cure dyspepsia, by nourishing those nerve centres whose vigorous condition is essential to the action of all

the organs. But it must not be forgotten that dyspepsia has many forms and many causes, and each should have its own peculiar treatment Every form, however, requires the removal of the cause as the sine qua noru Youth 9 Com- -

panxoru An Indian's Honesty An exchange tells a story of an "Indian's Honesty" which carries with it an excellent lesson. The native, or uneducated Indian, you know, was addicted to the use of tobacco; but now that we have the Carlisle Indian School, and the the government is furnishing so many helps to enlighten the red v man, with the growth of knowledge all 4 such vices must dissapear, and the In- ; dian become the good citizen all who read this are aiming to be. Well, an old Indian once asked a white man to give him some tobacco for his pipe. The man gave him a loose handful from his pocket The next day he came back and asked for the white' man. "For," said he, "I found a quarter of a dollar among the tobacco." "Why don't you keep.it?" asked bystander, "I ve got a good man ar d a bad 2ian here," said the Indian, pointing to his breast, and the good man say, 'it is not mine; give it back to the owner. The bad man say, 'Never mind, yon got it and it is your. own now The good man say, 'No, no! yon must not keep it' So I don't know what to do, and I think to go to. sleep, bnt the good and bad man keep talking all night, and, trouble me; now I bring the money back and I feel good.1 And the writer goes on to say that . "like the old Indian, we have all a good and a bad man within. The bad man is Temptation, the good man is Conscience, and they keep talking for and against things that we do every day." I have no need to ask you if the bad man or the good man wins, little bright eyes as you read this for yours is the task to put Temptation far away, but do not you meet every day some one whoHis listening to the bad instead of the good ' man within ? The Fate of Russian Balers. The church of SS. Peter and Paul is the burial place of the Emperors, and a solemn place it is. The larger white tomb of Alexander IL is regarded with veneration and surrounded witlv emblems of grief; they call him their martyr emperor and honor him as tho ' emancipator of the serfs. Next lies his father, Nicholas L, who poisoned himself. By his side is the body of his eldest brother, who, having married a Polish lady for love, abdicated the throne, which he had forfeited by mar- 1 rying beneath him. But the abdica tion could not save him; he disappeared, and his death was considered necessary to avoid a revolution. Our guide, continuing the sad history, said: "Here lies Paul, who was suffocated; there is the body of Peter IIL, who was assassinated; there is the tomb of Annie, who was exiled to Siberia and died of a broken heart, and next lies her son, who was stabbed. We looked at the gilded magnificence of the church and the calm of the beautiful marble tombs, and shuddered with horror at the recitaL SU Petersburg Cor, Hartford Times.
