The Beauties of Bermuda as a
Winter Resort.
Many Americans Sprml th Inclement
Kt-amin Among the Fruit and
llowrn of the Iellfbt
ful Islamls.
W. C. iYhitnev, ex-consul to ISermuda,
said at the Palmer house the other day,
according- to the Chicaro Inter (Wan:
"At this season of the year many
Americans are visiting the Hermuda
islands. The hotel at Hamilton is
crowded, and several people from Chi
cago are spending the winter in the
I term ut las. Although an Knjrlish pos
session the IJermuda islands are es
sentially American in the tastes and re
quirements of the populace anil com
mercial pursuits. Situated seven hun
dred miles from New York, they pre
sent to the American tourist a delight
ful haven far out at sea, where he can
recuperate in the pure and exhilarating
ocean air.
''The existence of these little islands,
three hundred and sixty-five in nimlnT,
a mere speck as they appear almost in
midocean, has puzzled many geologists.
The largest island in the group is only
thirteen miles in length, yet it has a
large population and produces all kinds
of semi-tropical fruits anil flowers
abundantly. Much of the soil is planted
in onions, which are our principal prod
uct for export. The United States is
a ready market for lis, and our rela
tions with this country are exceedingly
pleasant.
"The formation of the Hermuda is
lands is calcareous, lieing a disintegra
tion of shells and coral reefs. It is
probable that some time, centuries ago,
perhaps, the whole muss was produced
by a volcanic upheaval of the ocean
bed. This theory is supported by the
great Walsingham caves, which lead for
miles under the liottom of the ocean,
and the stalactites suspended f nun the
roof are of volcanic formation.
"Aside from the native and white
population I.ermuda has two regiments
of English soldiers at the forts who
garrison the islands. A notable point
of interest is a dry dock capable of
taking the largest man-of-war in the
English navy. This immense structure
was built in Kngland and towed the en
tire distance to Itermuda bv seven ves
sels. "Curious as it may seem, there is not
a well or drop of fresh water to lie ol
tained on the islands. All the houses
are made from a soft white stone, which
is carved into square blocks. Even the
roofs are of this material. La rye caves
are constructed and rain is caught and
conveyed to tanks built in each house
for its reception. This rain water is
use I for all purposes, and enough is se
cured in the rainy season to last all
summer.
"There is not a spot in the world
where the ocean is so transparent as
around the lVrmudas. Objects on the
lmttoiu can be seen thirty feet Wlow
the surface, and thousands of deep sea
fish in all their varied phases are no
ticeable, the whole picture forming a
grand aquarium mvon which the eye
can rest for hours without fear of sa
tiety." PICTURE ON A COFFIN LID.
The Terrlrylnif Sight Which Confronted
an Ktutterii i I rave liiKgcr.
James t'lareback, about fortv-five
years of aye. was recently engaged at
llcrrington Corners, ten miles from El
iriira. X. V.. in resurrecting the remains
of Mrs. M. C. Herring-ton in order to
bury them in another place. The bo!y
had liecn under ground for thirty-five
years, and in digging for it Clareback
struck a great deal of water. He
reached the remnants of the outer lox
surrounding the eofiin. ami when he
pulled them out of the way he was
greatly astonished to see what appeared
to be Mrs. llcrrington "s liody, apparent
ly undisturbed and so lifelike as to con
vey to his mind the belief that a living,
breathiny woman was ln-fore him.
"I tell you I was scared." said Clare
back to a Xew York Sun correspondent,
"and I nearly fell over in a faint in the
yrave. When I made an examination,
however, 1 discovered that it was not
the lnxly I saw before me, but an exact
photoyraph of it on the top of the cof
fin lid. I then raised the coffin and
opened it. With the exception of the
head, it contained only a few crumbling1
lxinos. The head, however, was per
fectly preserved. The liones were cov
ered with llesh which had petrified, the
whole Iwiny as hard as a stone, while
the hair had yrown to an unusual
length and was very abundant."
The coffin lid was exhibited to a num
ber of people. It was made of cedar
and contained an exact and perfectly
clear representation of the deceased
woman as she appeared when she died
thirty-live years ayo. Just how to ac
count for this no one knows, but in lieu
of any lielter explanation that made by
the grave-digger is accepted. It, is to
the effect that water tlowiny Ihroiiyh
the yrave must have raised the lody so
that it was pressed ayainst the eotlin
lid and the action of the yases arisiny
from the laaly, in conjunction with the
nature of the wood, forced the picture
to appear as it did on the outer side of
the coffin lid.
ANOTHER IDOL SHATTERED.

Countess Cuiecioli. Lvrou's inamorato,
has her reputation for beauty sadly im
pugned by the author of "Cossipof the
Century." That literary icomv-last
says that several people who had known
the countess told him that she was any
thing but beautiful. " hie assured me,"
he says, "that hereomplexioii reminded
him of boiled pork (!) and an
other asserted that her figure was ab
solutely shapeless; that she was not
beautiful, anil that so far from possess
ing any grace or eleyance of style, she
had the appearance of a short bolster
with astrmy round its mid. lie. Worse
than this, it seems that Ctiiccioli wad
dled like a duck: her feet, which were
as large and fiat as Mine, de St net's
immortalized by her enemy. Napoleon,
when he descrilied her as 'standing1 on
her 'grand pi.nl de Stael' aiding in
the sngyestion of this simile. As for
her manners, they were far from re
fined." The Stoical Chinee.
A suryeon who has had opportunity
to observe the Chinese under operations
says "as a stoical race they ln-at the In
dians " They object to ana-stlies'ia. and
subiirt to amputation of limbs without
an outcry. They have no fear of death,
and prefer to suicide by opium rather
than to live in a helpless, crippled condi
tion, a burden on their friends. So a sur
geon's Inst efforts in their liehaif often
come to nought. Their wounds heal
quickly, which is attributed to their
cleanliness and diet (mainly vegeta
rian). Their tissues, under the surgeon's
knife, sewn more dense and elastic, or
less flabby than the llesh of a Caucasian.
A clergyman in Minneapolis was
lately called upon to ofiiciate at a
wetldiny. After the service was per
formed the happy groom called him to
one side and asked "what hii charges
were." The minister replied that tie
was not in the habit of makiny a
charge. "Well," replied the groom" "I
Will call anil see you later." The hap
py groom called the next week and
presented the reverend gvntleuiau with
a dozen sticks of chewing g-tuu.
A Woman's Back.
It is the mainspring of her
life.
What can she do, where can
she go, so lon as that deadly
backache saps every particle of
her strength and ambition?
She cannot walk, she cannot
stand; hey housework. is a bur
den; the hours behind the
counter or in the factory are
crushing; she is miserable.
The cause is some derange
ment of the uterus or womb.
The backache is the sure symptom.

Christ if 11 rccorils, suppostil to have lx-en
irretrievably lost. They are three in
ntitiilx-r. One of them Wars the title:
-The Revelation of Peter. It is a
prophetic I m m ilc. resembliii"; the Apoc
alypse of St. John ami was quoted as a
sa retl "Scripture" by the -rcat Chris
tian t-acher, Clement, of Alexandria,
in the se'oiid ti-uturj' after Christ. It
iu supposed to have been written by the
Ajoslle Peter. Another is: "Theios-H-lof
P. ter, a narrative of the life of
Christ, similar to those of the four tJos
pcls. and -on tain in f some curious varia

by the ecclesiastical authorities, but
aflci ward stigmatized as ajrnstic. It,
too. is siipiiMcd to have In-eii written
by St, Pct-r. The third codex contains
considerable fragments of the IsHik of
Knoch. a prophetic Ion. k which was of
hio-h authority unions the early Chris
tians, but the orijriii of which is; uncer
tain. The ascription of it to the Old
Testament patriarch "w ho walke.1 with

the '"los-lic-l of St. Peter" has appeared
already at Cambridge university. lrof.

A MOUSE IN HER HAT.
Itut Mir Was Not l-'rigliteued So Much
wa the Clerk.
A recent San Francis dispatch
says: One day this week a lady went to
a 1'ourth street store to make some
purchasi-s. She enafred a 3'ounjr clerk
iu conversation conecrninj various
articles. While talking to her the
clerk' chanced to look at her hat. It
111 iv.l slightly. Then he looked arain,
and airain the feminine heat I (Tear was
perceived t le in motion. The younjr
manturnisl pale and his tmio-ue did
cleave to the rof of Ids mouth. Like
one suircriiijr with nightmare, he
wanted to scream, but could not. All
the time the lady's hat kepi movinjr in
a iM-culiar way. The j.iuujf man kept
his jraze on the hat for some reason
unknown to himself he could not do
otherwise. Presently lie saw one side
of the hat raise up; then a pair of
sharp, bright eyes jhitiiI out. The
next instant out from under the hat
jumpl a mouse. It landed upon the
pale younyf ch rk's shoulder and In- ran
into the str-et yelling like a Comanche.
"IVh- w hat was that!" screamed the
lady.
"It was a mouse, and he juuied out
of v.. ir hat." answere.1 the pale y.iuiij.'

A law That l.oaea .Mors to a Natiou
1 l.a.i Is I'llit.-.l by It.
When the gain of what is termed a
w hole nation under arms is estimated,
the -x:io-rcration of the .,hi.mi
phra-x-;, hides the nakedness of the fact
that larfre iiumlx-rs 1 if jntin men are
lost to their country by the means to
which lli.-y resort to-.-ape military serv-i-e.
u I taly and eriiiany.says t he 1'ort
niirht ly K.'view. thsi- may b counU-d
by l-ri ns; in France men are les:,
numerous. In-caii:- nn-n are more
wedded to the native soil, and take to
service in., re jrayly and iu.re naturally,
but in Italy an t (erm.iiiy thousand:.
lliM-k t imiuirratit ships, tlius i ho. isin;
life Ion;? self-expatriation, and t-verj
ycur, as the military and liseal burden:
jrow heavier, will lads j?o away by
prefi-reiiee to lauds where, however
hard In- the work, the dreaded voice of
the drill sergeant cannot reach them,
and they can "call their souls their
own."
Patriotism is a fine quality, no doubt,
but it docs not accord with the chill
ami supercilious apathy which harae-tcriy-s
the general temper and teachino;
of this aj.'e. and a yount? man may Ik
pardi med if he deem that his country'
is less a mother worthy of love than a
cruel and unworthy stepmother, when
she demands three ol the fairot years
of his iife lo be spent in a barrack yard
an.l wrinirs his ears till the hl.xul drops
from them or Ix-ats him als.ut the head
w ith the butt of a musket Ix-cause he
docs not hold his chin hij?h enoujrh or
shift his feet quickly enough.
A Villainous Itusinrsa.
One of the most prosperous intfusiries
in Paris is the sale and disposal of horse
flesh for food. There are in the city of
Paris lsy sli.iis for the sale of horse
flesh, and iu the course of this year
more than '-.'!, ikhi horses.;! mules and
27.1 donkeys have Wen kilh-d and eaten
by the Parisians. The most singular
point aVmut this t raffle is that the price
of the lh-sh is equal to thai of rood Int-f,
JU cents a ound. It is only fair, how
ever, to add that two-thirds of this
meat has been converted into sausatres,
so that it is more than possible that the
consumers are ijrnorant of the source of
their toothsome dish. It is now easy to
understand how it is that (rood horses
are so scarce in the Paris llacrcs; at 'JO
cents a pound a fat horse would be
worth more when he was dead than
alive.
THE STUDIO.
Bakrett Pkowmxo, son of two
famous J et.s, wrote verses of promise
w hen he was live years old, and John
Kuskin said he should tie a great poet,
lie is a painter iustead.
Tin: monument to the late emperor of
Russia at Moscow will lie completed
within a few months and uexfVprin)? it
will be dedicated- It has been for seven
years in course of erection.
Mks. IIki.kn Elizabeth Kino, of
Cleveland, has Urn Copying1, to be ex
hibited by the state of Ohio at the
world's fair, Huntington's portrait of
tien. Sherman, which belonfrs to the
national government and hauirs in the
war department at Washino-ton.
Tiie illuminat ion of W hittier's cen
tennial hymn, done iu by Miss
Annie I-vvis Wriley, of Pennsylvania,
will hold a place in the Woman's build

letter from Whittier in regard to the
hymn will probably W phved with it.
Hereditary luitue ir.
It is a fai t well established by stu
di nts of heredity that children araap.
to inherit not only the physical, mii
taJ and moral traits of their parents,
but to lie influenced by their ajre as
well. Children born of very youiif?
fathers and mothers never attain so
visri.rous a "-row th of mind or body as
those of older men and women, w hile
children of old people are born old
one of the most surprisinp cases in
inc. ii.-al history is that of Marguerite
Crihsowita, who diod in 176U, u-.'ed one
hundred and vijhl years. When niuety
fnur she was married to a man ajre,
one hundred and five. Three children
came of this union, but they had jrray
