SOMEWHAT STRANGE. ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS OF EVEUY-DAY LIFE. <Jueer Episodes and Thrilling Adven tures Which Show tJiat Truth Is Stranger than Fiction. MANY a medical mun could of alarming conditions resulting from im proper attempts at hypnotizing by the unskilled amateur. One such case has quite recently been reported by uu English doctor. An amateur at a fritnd s house volunteered to hypnotize another visitor, and after two trials succeeded so well that the subject became extremely < excited, lost the power of speech, and then passed into the condition of cata lepsy; subsequently ho hud severe con vulsions. lie had simply been hypno tized by being made to look at a diamond ring, and afterwards the sight of any thing glistening threw him into a state of violent excitement. The floor of the room in which the physician discovered him was covered with cushions, as he frequently threw himself from the sofa onto the floor, and was in a condition of grave hysteria with maniacal excite ment. He was treated with full doses of sedatives, chloral, sulphoual, bromides and morphine, but at first showed no improvement. After ten days the con vulsive attacks were replaced by periods during which he sang persistently; he would sing every song he knew without stopping. After a fortnight of this ho had a high temperature for several days, and altogether was very ill for three weeks. Such cases are not so uncoiiv mou as is generally supposed. "IT is a singular thing," says a phy sician, "that a man does not hear his own voice exclusively through his ears. The prevalence of throat deafness is a proof to the layman of the connection between the ears and throat, and this inability to hear one's self speak just as others hear us is unother instance. In some people this peculiarity is very marked, and in my case, if I speak into a phonograph and let the machine grind out the sounds again, I don't recognize the voice at all. In regard to singing, the varying ability to hear one's self with the ears plugged up with cotton makes itself evident, for while one member of a chorus will only hear the blended harmony, or discord, another will hear little beyond his or her own voice, and make occasional bail breaks in consequence. I know a man who used to sing a very fair baritone, but whose voice is now only adupted I to the weakest falsetto. Yet he doosn't j realize the change, and I believe he j ▼ honestly thinks lie sings as well us ever. | This apparent impossibility ma}' he a I dispensation of Providence to prevent j men with exceptionally ugly voices being I driven to suicide." THE story of a heroic engineer on a Pennsylvania excursion train which ur rived recently ut Cincinnati, Ohio, five hours late hus been made public. The engine was a three-wheeler and said not to have been in good condition. How ever this may be, some sixty miles east of Columbia one of the drivers broke. The train was ruuning forty miles an hour, and the broken bar at once knocked the engine cab into kindling wood. It broke one six-foot driving wheel right in two, and finally it turned its brokou end into the boiler and lot loose the scalding steam in two volumes. The accident destroyed Engineer Murt Winters' ap pliances for communicating with the pneumatic brakes und he could not stop the train. The engine wobbled to and fro and threatened to leave the track. Then the engineer became a hero. Scrambling over the tender with a mon key wrench in his hand Winters climbed down under the first car at the imminent peril of his life and set the pneumatic brakes. The train came to a stop and nobody was hurt. A REMARKABLE surgical operation was performed on a chicken owned by Eman uel Price, of No. 3 Paul street, a few days ago, and the little chic-a-biddy still lives, says the Auburn (N. Y.) Bulletin. The crop of the chicken became stopped up, and the bird Buffered great pain. George Jacobs was called in to see what was the matter, lie has quite a local reputation as a chicken doctor in that neighborhood. After an examination he decided to cut the chicken's crop open, and from it was extracted one and one half pints of straw, gravel, paper, corn, chips, glass, hair, etc. The crop was thoroughly cleaned and sewed up again. In a few hours the chick had recovered sufficiently to out a hearty meal, and in a day or so was around again. It has en tirely recovered, and to-day is as well, apparently, as ever. It was quite sur prising that a hen could stow away such an amount of rubbish in its crop and still live. IMPELLED by the great outcry against loquacious barbers, a Bt. Louis barber recently hired a deaf aud dumb assis tant. But the scheme didn't work. "Though the man was an excellent work muu," says the barber, "in less than a week ho found his razor almost as inac tive as his tongue. lie had evidently been through the same experience in other cities, for he very philosophically offered to work at less than scule wages, and did so. I kept him about three months and then dropped him, for no fault except that he could not work up a regular patrons' trude. When all other chairs were occupied some one would go to him, and he picked up considerable outsiders' business. But the way every day customers left the chair for others convinced me that the average man ex pects to be entertained while beiug shaved, and kicks when he isn't. Deaf mutes seem to inuke excellent busebull players, but ure not phunomeuul suc cesses in barber shops." MR. J. M. VKRHOKFK, a member of Peary's Greenland expedition, made quito a sensHtiou in Arctic waters. In Bie first place, he startled the whole population of Godhavn by taking a swim in the icy waters of the harbor. Of courso the water was colder than the stormy Atlantic off Cape Cod in mid winter, but that made no difference. Verhoeff was going to have a swim, and he had it. Then his bunk was too luxu rious. He preferred the soft side of a board, and all the rest of the way he slept on u board with one thickness of blanket over him. Then, when the Kite was ramming her way through the ice, the young man thought nothing of run ning alongside,jumping from floe to floe, uud when the distance betweon ice cakes was too great, plunging in and swimming ucross the gap. lie is hardened to that sort of thing, and Peary has probably booked him for the long sledge journey next spring. LAST Juno a furious cyclone passed over the northern part of Monroe County, Ivy., demolishing everything in its path. Near Mount Herman the barn of Sam McPhorson was literally torn to pieces. Seventy days afteward some laborers were removing the debris when, to their astonishment, they found a hen that hud been penned in by the fulling timbers, HO that she had 110 uventie of escape. When the timbers were removed she jumped out and pounced upon the first thing edible that came in sight. On making a calculation it was found that she had been confined in her narrow prison for just seventy days. During this time-she had laid an egg and hatched a chicken which had died. IT is not necessary to join an Africun expedition in order to taste the delights and dangers of exploration and wild beast encounters. The umbitious young man might join a railroad building gang. While such a gang was pushing the con struction of the Florida and Western Railroad through the swumps near T&lla hasse an enormous panther leaped frfon a tree upon one of the inen named Mc- Williauis. The rest of the gang fled. McWilliams tried to defend himself with his shovel, but the panther killed liirn | and mangled him beyond recognition, j Work 011 the road was suspended, as the | men refused to work any more. AT the summit of the ascent at the corner of Gibson and Monroe streets, in Princeton, Md., is an attractive and pe culiar echo. A cluster of plum trees, a barn and two dwellings stand on the left, while on the right stands a barn and a dwelling. The sidewalk is paved with plank and some two hundred feet from the summit of the hill a footman of a quiet evening can hear three, four and often five echoes of his footsteps. Loud clapping of the hands produces a half dozen pleasant reflections of the sound. AN Italian fruit vender in New York has a fancy for wasps, and on almost any day nearly a hundred of these insects can be seen flying around or sucking the fruits and candies ou the stand. They are not all harmlessly engaged, however, as many settle on his hands and face and sting him. His face and hands bear wit ness to his bad treatment by his pets. He says ho has to sacrifice something for his little friends, so ho docs not minu. TIIK sporting citizens of Houston, Tex., to the number of 5,000 turned out a few days ago to witness a goat race. There were sixty-three entries, big books were made 011 the event, and hundreds of dollars in pools were sold. The mayor and other city and county officials offici ated as starters and judges. Some of the goats made 200 yards in 32 seconds in harness. MB. SANFORD and Mr. Carroll went fishing for tarpon at Daytonia, Florida, a short time ago, and hooked a fine tarpon about ten o'clock in the morning. The fish towed the boat around the hay in front of the town until after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Then the fishermen succeeded in shooting' it. It weighed seventy-five pounds. WILLIAM OHKRMAN, a fisherman, while drawing a pond in Rariton Bay, N. J., the other morning, hauled up an immense stingaree. After ho had thrown the fish into the boat it made a leap and struck him on the leg, near the knee, nearly severing it. lie fainted from loss of blood, and at last accounts was in a dan gerous condition. PROBABLY the smallest locomotive ever constructed has just been made by Win. Jacobs, a machinist of Mecklenberg towhship, Pa. It weighs but one and one quarter pounds, and is a portion of an eight-day clock. Around the dial is a miniature railwuy track, and on this the tiny locomotive moves every five min utes. THIS is California's banner year for fruit, and what seems to bo the inevit able reverse of the medal is shown in Spain. It is said that this season's crop of Malaga grapes will be only GOO,(XX) barrels, or about twenty-live per cent, below last year's crop. Thoroughfares of Paris. Paris contains about 4,000 streets, ave nues and boulevards. We have them from forty feet to three miles long, and some are at least 240 feet wide. There are no fewer than 178 streets which ure not more than 3,500 feet long, and if my readers would realize what that distance is let them measure it off on their own account. Everybody who has been in Paris knows what the grand boulevards are between the Madeleine and Place Pastille. Well, the whole length of the great boulevards—their nurnes are Madeleine, Capucines, 1 tali ens, Mont martre, Poissonnierc, Bonne-Nouvellc, Saint-Denis, Saint Martin, Place do la Kepublique (205 yards), Temples, Filles du-Calvairo and Bcaumarchais, but they connect directly with each other—is only 4,750 yards. They scarcely equal in length the Rue Vaugirurd, which in itself is equivalent to one-seventh of the circumference of Paris. This circumference is formed by the fortifications. Between the outer houses and the ramparts runs an interior boulevard which is about twenty miles long. This iinmonse circle is cut up in to nineteen almost equal parts, each bearing a particular name. They are the Boulevards Massena, Kellermann, dour dan, Bruno, Lefovre, Victor, Murat, Suchet, Lannes, Gouvion-Saint-Cyr, Berthier, Bessieres, Ney, Mucdonuld, Serurier, Mortier, Davout, Soult and Poniatowski. The longest is the Boule vard Serurier, in the nineteenth arron dissement; the shortest is the Boulevard Bessieres, in the seventeenth arron dissement. In Paris 178 thoroughfares exceed five furlongs in length; two of these are more than two and a half miles long, and these are the Avenue de la Kepublique and the liue de Vaugirurd. The five next longest are: Kuo de Charenton, 3,413 yards; Avenue Daumesnil, 3,823 yards; Quai d'Orsay, 3,28() yards; liue des Pyrenees, 3,200 yards, and the Boulevard St. Ger main, 3,250 yards. Twenty-three streets exceed a mile and a quarter in length, aud their names are: liucs d'Alesia, de Belleville, de Crimee, des Fourneaux, de la Gluciere, de Grenelle, de Lafayette, Lecourbe, Marcadet, Ordener, de liivoli, Faubourg tft. lionore, Saint Maur andde l'Unlvorsite; Avenues de Versailles, de Villiers and Victor Hugo, and Boule vards llaussniann, Malsherbes, .Massena, Ney, Periere, Serurier and Voltuire. — [Chicago Herald. Sorghum Molasses. The process of making sorghum mo lasses is as follows: When the seed is ripo the stalks are stripped of the leaves and cut and topped, the sccdhcads being cut off with a root of the stalk attached. The stalks are then run through a pair of rollers to squeeze out tho juice. This is strained and run into vats or barrels, in which it is treated with lime to remove tho surplus gummy matter and thosicid ity, which will prevent tho syrup from keeping us it should. The lime is mixed in the form of a thin, smooth liquid known as milk of limo. This is strained from all lumps and is gradually stirred into tho juice, which is closely watched to observe the change of the color. The juice changes from a green to a clear amber, but the most accurate test is by the use of litmus paper. The blue lit mus is used, and as the lime neutralizes the acidity the paper turns purple in | color. The juice is then neutrul—that ; is, neither un acid nor alkaline. It is , now boiled in a shallow tank or evapor j ator as rapidly as possible. It is not 1 really boiled, but is brought to the boii- I ing heat and kept there, while the gum I and other impurities are separated in the form of a thick scum. This is skimmed off, and the skimming is repeated until no more scum rises. The juice is then boiled as rapidly as possible until it is thick enough, which is a mutter of experience, or may be known by the weight of the syrup, which should weigh twelve pounds to the gallon. The syrun is then run into shai*)w pans to cool, and is then 1 barreled for sale or keeping.—[New York Times. FACTS ABOUT CITRON. An Agricultural Industry of the Future—How It is Prepared. The cultivation of the citron is a grow ing industry in California and Florida, and the time is likely to arrive before many years when the largo demand for the fruit in this country will be supplied by domestic production. The fruit affords a very delicious con diment, and, therefore, there is interest in a description of its preparation for mar ket, which the Department of Agricul ture has published for the instruction of growers in the United States. Of course it is the thick rind only that is utilized. To begin with, tlio fruit is cut in halves and placed in casks filled with a strong solution of brine. In this sliape it is delivered by the growers at the manufactory. The first process to which it is then subjected is the separation of the pulp from the rind. This is done by women, who, seated around a largo vessel, take out the fruit, skilfully gouge out the in side with a few rapid inotious of the fore finger and thumb, and throwing this aside, place the rinds unbroken in a ves sel alongside. The rinds are next car ried to big casks filled with fresh cold water, in which they remain immersed for two or three days, the object being to rid them of the suit they have ab sorbed. The rinds, upon being taken out of the casks, are boiled in a copper cauldron to make them tender and to extract from them the last trace of salt. This pro cess performed, the peel is sufficiently soft to absorb the sugar readily from the syrup in which they arc next put. This is the most important part of the operation. It requires eight days, be cause the absorption of the sugar must be very slow in order to be thorough. Euch batch of rinds must be soaked in eight syrups of different strengths. The first day they are put into a great earthen jar containing a weak solution of syrup; the next duy they have a stronger solution poured upon them, and so on to the eighth day, at the end of which they are ready for a second boiling. This is done for un hour in a copper vessel filled with sirup of extra strength, over a slow, coke fire. Taken off the fire the vessel is carried to a big wooden trough, over which is spread a coarse, wire netting. The con tents are poured upon this,and the sirup permitted to drain off thorn. Now it is considered that the peel has taken up as much sugar as is necessary. Next comes the final process, which is the candying of the surfaco of the peel with a layer of sugar crystals. To ef fect this, a quantity of crystallized sugar is dissolved in water, and in the solution the peels are again boiled. A few min utes suffice fortius operation, the water evaporating and the sugar forming its natural crystals over the rinds. Once more the luttor are dried on the wire netting, whereupon the product is fin ished. Last of all, the cundied peel is carried to the packing room in shallow baskets, and put up carefully by women in boxes for shipment.—[Washington Star. The Trolley System. This is how electricity is applied to street cars by the trolley system: The current of electricity is led from the gen erating machine at the station to the cur through a wire placed above the ground. The elements of the system consist of a generating station, line, car, motor and return circuit. At the generating sta tion an engine and boiler furnish power to drive a large dynamo. The current generated is conducted by a wire to a line which is strung on posts, and runs above and parallel with the track. The car to obtuin the current makes continual contact with this overhead line by means of a trolley, this current pussing down by wires to a motor which is connected with the axles of tin; cur. After passing through this motor the current pusses into the wheels of the car and thence into the .track, aud us the latter is con nected near the generating station with the other pole ot the dynamo, a complete circuit is thus formed. In addition to the track connection as a return for the current the earth is used as much as it is employed in telegraphy, the track being connected at intervuls with lurgo plates buried in the ground. The circuit is further aided by connecting the rails of the track with copper wires to keep up the continuous electric current.—{De troit Free IVess. The Japanese Potters, There is very little difference in the actual process of the most improved methods of manufacture in any part of Europe. The Japanese possess u greater variety of materials, a marvelous knowl edge in their use and combination, dis tinct originality ami a greater sense of the picturesque, which must account for the attractiveness of their pottery, for their methods of working the clay are exceedingly primitive. They use the common Hying wheel, with working disk twelve or fiftoen inches abovo ouch other; these ure uuited so as to turn out vases six and seven feet in hoight. A skilled workman with these implements makes bowls three feet in diameter or the delicate ware known as "egg-shell porcelain." In this, as in any urt, the secret of success does not seem to lie in having the greatest array of the most nearly perfect tools, but in knowing how to make the best use of the rudest ones. —[Philadelphia Record.

How's Your Liver If sluggish and painful, invig orate it to healthy action by taking Hood's Barsaparilla "German Syrup" The majority of well-read phys icians now believe that Consump tion is a germ disease.

A Germ The phlegm that is coughed up is those Disease. parts of the lungs which have been gnawed off and destroyed. These little bacilli, as the germs are called, are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are very much alive just the same, and enter the body in our food, in the air we breathe, and through the pores of the skin. Thence they get into the blood and finally arrive at the lungs where they fasten and increase with frightful rapidity.

ANOTHER SWINDLE BQUBLCHBD The Elderrub'iihlag Company oftbtcagu t'omM to Oliof. The hot-bed of swindlers and wild cat schemes, Chicago, has furnished the latest victim to Uncle Mam's postal authorities. This time It is the Elder Publishing Company, and the instrument of its downfall was a green country boy named Jarad (Heaven forgive his parents) Housel. of Three Rivers, Mich. Jared paid #SO for his title of "General Munager of the Elder Publishing Company for Three Rivera." and #5.25 for four samples of IT cent books. Being un able to sell the cheap literature, he wrote to the company demanding a return of his money. In reply he re ceived a letter admonishing him to "put on the armor of self-reliance and press forward and make a name that would be remembered with honor." Instead of doing this he put on his fighting clothes and made such a row for the swindling company that its projectors were landed in jail. He was but one of several thousand victims. Besides the scheme they worked on Housel. the "company" had another. In reply to their advertisements for agents they received from 300 to 500 answers per day. A circular would be mailed to each applicant telling him or her to furnish not less than eight references, with sixteen 2-cent stamps to cover the cost of corres pondence with such references. If the applicants for agencies gave no evidence in their letters of special greenness and qualities, the smooth swindlers, without having written the references at all, would wait a few days and then inform the would be agent that "after investigation they had decided to not appoint him;" and they were just fourteen 2-cent stamps ahead on that one "sucker." But, if the applicant appeared to he a tit subject—and hundreds of them were—then the fun began, and he was plucked unmercifully. The scheme was ingenious, but its successful working depended upon the carelessness with which the fool killer attended to liis business.. And it came to grief. It will not he long, however, before another takes its place. She Chattered. It was on a street car. Two ladj friends were chattering away as only ladies can. "Oh!
