SOMEWHAT STRANGE. ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS OF EVKRY-DAY LIFE. Queer Episodes and Thrilling Adven tures Which Show that Truth is Stranger than Fiction. WHILE flying South a flock of wild geese were attracted by a number of tame ones sporting 011 Lake Keuka, near Ilammondsport, N. Y., and halting in their flight descended and joined forces with their domestic congeners. The owner of the tame fowls, a farmer named Purdy, on seeing the wild geese alight, seized his gun, and creeping down to the lake shore, attempted to get a shot at the visitors. Before he could reach a point near enough to fire, the wild flock rose from the water and took wing. A moment later, to Purdy's great surprise, his own flock also rose and, following swiftly in the wake of the strangers, were soon lost to sight. A few days afterward the farmer noticed another flock of geese flying, curiously enough, northward, but was delighted to see when on reaching the shores of the lake that they gracefully settled down on its placid bosom. This time he took extra pains to conceal his approach, and on gaining a point within easy gunshot he blazed away and was overjoyed, for the moment, to discover that he had killed one of the flock, and had wounded another. His joy was of short duration, however, for to his wonderment the rest of the geese, although greatly disturbed by the shots, quickly paddled ashore and j went screeching ii single file toward : Purdy's front yard. It was the return of the prodigals after a week's absence, ■ and Purdy had killed :iud wounded the finest of the lot. ONE of the visitors to the Brazilian gunboat Aquidaban out in the North River at New York was Dr. J. Dias Ribeiro of the Brazilian line of steamers. On the little finger of his left hand he wore a gold ring. Around the edge of it was a small gold snake with an emerald and a diamond, one in either eye. One of the visitors to the gunboat asked Dr. Ribeiro if it was a Brazilian ring. "It is the badge of my profession," he answered. "Nearly every professional man in Brazil wears a distinctive ring, so that if you should see a number of men clinging to a strap in a street car you could tell their profession at a glance. Of course the artisans have no class ring. The emerald is the stone that physicians wear. Though frequent.y they substi tute diamonds for it. Druggists wear a ring of the same shape, but use topaz stones in the snake's eyes. The lawyers wear a white stone in their rings, au em blem of purity, I suppose. Artists have samphire rings, and engineers, public officials, and all proscssional men, as a rule, wear the distinctive ring of their profession. Our medical course in Brazil requires eight years, and your medical colleges here have courses from three to four years. Notwithstanding the longer course in Brazil, however, the most pop ular physicians in Rio are Americans. You would probably be surprised to see how well known by name some of your promineut New York physicians arc there." "THERE is one of the best tobacco drummers in the country," remarked a gentleman in Kansas City as an elderly looking man with a long gray beard in company with a young woman passed up Wyandotte street. The gentleman walked arm in arm with his companion and no one would have noticed any thing peculiar about him until lie came to a crossing and then his companion spoke to him, his step faltered, his foot was put out as if afraid to advance. His eyes were turned straight ahead aud never sought the ground. They were sightless. The man was Mr. James Harrison, of Richmond, Ya., and the woman was his daughter. Mr. Harrison travels for a tobacco factory and is re garded as one of the best drummers on the road. For more than twenty years he has made the rounds with two daughters. Fiist one of them grew up from girl to woman and was married. The second ouc then took her place and has since beeuhis constant companion. She goes about with from store to store, bolus him with his samples at the train and the ho tels, attends to tickets and baggage—in short does everything that a tender lov ing woman could do for the blind. She is his eyes. The two are known in every city in the country. THE Richmond (Va.) State has the following strango story: "The Trappist monastery, situated in Kentucky, is the home of the monks upon whom the in junction of perpetual silence is placed. The stories that sift through to tiie out side world, with more or less romantic detail concerning the individual monks of La Trappe, are many. There is one told of a brother at Gethscmaue, which is old, but full of dramatic suggestion. He was a soldier of Napoleon, so it was said, and after the Emperor's first abdi cation, took the cowl of the 'Brown Brothers,' and ultimately came to Gethsc maue. Forty years he lived in silence, hearing nothing of the world's history, but with one item of curiosity left un quenched. When he came to die, and was lifted from his hard couch and laid upon the harder floor, strewed with straw, when all followers ot the order must meet extremes, the abbott, as is customary, told bin. lie was at liberty to ask any question lie desired. 'What became of the Emperor?' the old man asked prompt!}', and then, for the first time, learned Napoleon's late, long years after the restless clay had become dust." IT is not often that a convict is pos sessed of a fortune of SBO,OOO, but one lias just died at Stillwater (Minn.) leav ing that amount to a fellow-convict. Six years ago Walter Williams became en gaged to Miss Mathilde Kittlcson, of Winona County, and two days before the day set for the wedding he borrowed SSOO of her ar.d ran away. In anger and disappointment she had him traced and arrested at Rushford, but repented of her harshness and married him iri jail to save him from punishment. lie was soon released, but committed a forgery and was sent to Stillwater for a term of years. At the prison he met Edgar Wilson, a life convict, the son of wealthy parents. Wilson and Williams became firm friends. The latter was employed in the cook room, and often smuggled the best food to Wilson. Williams was released ou a pardon, and AVilson died in prison, leaving Williams all his prop erty, valued at SBO,OOO, in remembrance of ids kinduess while they were in prison together. "\V. D. BLANTON, convicted of horse theft and granted a new trial, was re manded to jail at Stephenville, Tex. One day, while Perkins, acting jailer in the absence of Sheriff Shands, was feed ing the prisoners, Blanton, who had con cealed himself in the run-around and provided himself with a loose stove leg, made a break for liberty, running Per kins down the stairs. Perkins fell as he ran and yelled out: "Look out, Blanton is coming 1" Mrs. Shands, wife of the Sheriff, who resides below, called to her daughters to run and lock the doors, while she gathered the Winchester, threw a cartride in it, and drew it upon Ihe prisoner, who cried out: "Mrs. Shands, don't get excited." She replied: "You are the only one excited, hold up," and he held up, and was marched back. ON Ilelvellyn, in the county of Cum berland, England, a monument has just, been erected to the memories of a man and a dog. The man was killed in 1805 by falling from one of the high crags on the ridge that joins Standing Edge to the summit. This dog, a little yellow, rough-haired terrier, was his compauion, and was found watching over the re mains three months afterward. She had given birth to puppies that were found dead by her side, it is believed that she maintained life by bits of (anion j sheep not unfrequently found on the I hills. The accident was probably caused j by a false step during a hail storm, as the man, Charles Gough, was returning to I Wj thburu, where he lodged, from a fish ing excursion in Patterdale. The dog | died a few years afterward. "THAT gold ring," said the owner of j it, in New York, "is made of African 1 gold, and came to me from a trader on j the gold coast of West Africa, who got it somehow while trading with one of the tribes. There is very delicate fancy work on it. Yet it was all done by the native African workmen with the rude tools that have been in use among them from time immemorial, and which con sist of sharp-pointed pieces ol iron or steel. It is encircled, as you see, with the signs of the Zodiac, like some other ancient rings found there, and it is be lieved that they got these signs from Egypt many ages ago. The probability is that it was a magical ring, used by the priests of the tribe in the worship of Mumbo-Jumbo." WIIIEE cleaning out an old well on his premises Adolphe Berthalot, a French restaurant-keeper of Marengo, lowa, re- ; cently discovered a tin tobacco-box con j tabling a necklace of diamonds set in I gold, two ruby and pearl lings and six i pairs of gold bracelets, the whole valued at SI,BOO. From the appearance of the box aud the jewelry they must have lain j in the well for a good many years. The clasp of the necklace bears the initials K. M. and the date October 8, 1801. The stones, though small, are of the first I water and are the work of a first-class ; lapidary. Berthalot turned over his • find to the city authorities to be held for | identification, failing which the articles | will become his property. THE fact that a horse at full trot if ; sometimes, at all events, entirely in the air without any of its feet touching the ground, has been proven by an instanta | neons photograph taken by M. Otten | hcim, vice-president of the Versailles Photographic Society. The picture 1 shows the horse trotting in a dog cart | with a single occupant, and the shad | ows on the ground clearly demonstrate that all its feet are in the air. The legs, both fore and hind, are spread, the right | fore and left hind legs being advanced, ' | while the left fore and right hind legs J are pointing backwards. The left fore leg ! is a little bent at the knee. J ONONDAGA, the premier sire of Milton j Young's McGrathiana farm, was in 1884 ! deprived of his sight, the reason given for the mutilation being the horse's uu ! governable temper, which made him un ! safe to his kind as well as to his attcn ! dants. And now the story comes from ' Kentucky that the original operation, | which consisted of puncturing each eye ' ball with a needle, could not have been a complete one, as after all these years i the horse's sight has been returned to him! The case as quoted by the Ken tuckians is without a parallel in the his tory of the horse any where. AN Indian who was killed recently at Camp Independence, Inyo County, Cal., was a Piute ''medicine man" known as , Charley. The manner of his taking off was having his throat cut from car to | ear, and his head smashed with a stone. The deed was done by two of his fellow bucks in accordance with the Piute law, j which says the doctor who loses three patients must die. These Indian mur ders, says the Inyo Index, are becom ing more common, and enly passing j notice seems to be paid to them by the . local authorities. | THE imperial court at Lcipsic, which is now the supreme tribunal in Germany, has just given judgment in a case which j has been proceeding for nearly 200 years, i It is a suit which was commenced early i in the last century by the Free Hanse Town of Lubeck against the govern ment of Mecklenburg with the object of obtaining a declaration that the said town has the sole privilege of free navigation and fishery in several rivers | and lakes. Lubeck's claim is founded on a charter of the Emperor Barbarossa. ! WHILE dredging on the o3*ster beds near New London, Conn., an oysterman | brought up something which at first looked like a lifeless sea-serpent covered ! with immense scales, hut on examination it turned out to be a strip of hose, seven feet long and three inches in diameter, ' completely hidden by the bivalves j which had become fastened to it. By actual count there were over 1,000 o) rs ters on that piece of hose. Light Without Fire. To obtain a light instantly, without the use of matches and without the dan , ger of setting things on fire is, according to the Mining and Scientific Pre£*,an easy • matter. Take a long vial of the clearest glas, put into it a piece of phosphorus i about the size of a pea. Upon this pour J some pure olive oil heated to the boiling j point, the bottle to be filled one-third 1 full; then cork tightly. To use the light | remove the cork, allow the air to enter and then re-cork. The whole empty ; space in the bottle will become lumiuous and the light obtained will be a good one. As soon as the light becomes dim its power can be increased by opening ! the bottle and allowing a fresh supply of air to enter. In very cold weather it is ; sometimes necessary to heat the vial bc | tween the hands to increase the fluidity of the oil, and one bottle will last all winter. This ingenious contrivance may I lie carried in the pocket, and is used by wutchmea of Paris in all magazines where 1 explosives or inflammable materials are i stored. The Potato Disease. I In Denmark, some interesting and perhaps very valuable researches into the 1 potato disease have been made by Pro fessor J. L. Jeiison. He finds that the ; disease consists of a fungus, whose | spores are carried by the wind, and ; which first attacks the foliage of the plants, and spreads to the tubers in • about seven days. It reaches the tubers j by spores washed from the stem and fo j ifagc by rains. Considering these facts I it was thought that the tubers might be j protected by moulding the soil into a broad ridge, three or four inches high ] and ten or twelve inches wide, after the lirst weediug, and a further earthing up on one side only—causiug the plants to bend so that the spores would fall away from the ridges—within seven days after the appearance of the disease on the fo liage. Some 150 farmers are said to have experimented in this way, with these astouishing results: Where no moulding or earthing up was done the percentage of diseased potatoes was thirty-four; where the moulding was imperfect, twelve; and where the moulding was perfect, ouly oue. Infection during harvest was prevented by allowing the tubers to remain in the ground for a month after the withering of the tops.— [Trenton (N. .].) American. TERRORS OF A VOLCANO. A Graphic Description of a Great Volcanic Eruption. Some idea of the terror of volcanoes may be gathered from an accouut of an eruption in one of the Hawaiian Islands, when the crater was filled from 500 to 00 J feet deep with molten lava, the im mense weight of which broke through the subterranean passage of twenty seven miles and reached the sen, forty miles distant, in two days, flowing for three weeks and heating the water twenty miles distant. Hocks melted like wax in its path; forests crackled and blazed before its fervent licut; the works of man were to it but as a scroll in the flames. Imagine Niagara's stream, above the brink of the lulls, with its dashing, whirling, madly-raging waters, hurrying on to their plunge, instantaneously con verted into fire—a gory-hued river of fused minerals; volumes of hissing steam arising; smoke curling upward from 10,000 vents, which gave utterance to the many deep-toned mutterings and sullen, confined clamoring*; gases deto nating and shrieking as they burst from their hot prison house; the heavens lurid with flames; the atmosphere dark and oppressive; the horizon murky with vapors and gleaming with the reflected contest. Such was the sceue as the fiery cata raot, lenpiug a precipice of fifty feet, poured its flood upon the ocean. The old line of coast, a mass of compact, un durated lava, whitened, cracked and fell. The waters recoiled aud sent forth a tempest of spray; they foamed and lashed around and over the melted rock; they boiled with the heat, aud the roar of the conflicting agencies'grew fiercer and louder. The reports of the ex plod - ing gases were distinctly heard twenty live miles distant, and were likened to a whole broadside of heavy artillery. Streaks of the intensest light glanced like lightning in all directions; tho out skirts of the burning lava as it fell, cooled by the shock, were shivered into millions of fragments and scattered by the strong wind in sparkling showers far into the country. Six weeks later at the base of the hills the water continued scalding hot and sent forth clouds of steam at every wash of tho waves. Origin of the Y. M. C. A. Organizations of Christian young men existed in Great Britain and Ireland more tha i 200 years ago aud extended into Germany and Switzerland; and in 1710 Cotton Mather addressed kindred socie ties in New England under the title of "Young Men Associated." There were similar associations in some German cities between 18:14 and 1842, and a larger movement in 1840, from which originates the German association of the present day. The modern English speaking associations began a meeting of clerks in a London mercantile house in 1844, organized by George Williams, one of the clerks, which grew into the first Young Men's Christian Association. It was soon imitated in different cities of Great Britain, and in December, 1871, an association of the London model was formed in Montreal and shortly after one was formed in Boston. Associations multiplied rapidly throughout the Uni ted States until their growth was re tarded by the late civil war. In 1880 a new period of growth begau, and there was, in 1870, ten years later, in the Uni ted States and Canada about 700 asso ciations with a membership of nearly 100,000. —[New Orleans Times-Demo crat. Luminous Crustaceans. The Indian Marine Survey steamer In vestigator, which left Bombay on Octo ber 18, has on her way to the working ground dredged with great success. The naturalist on board has made the interesting and—from a biological point of view—-important discovery that some deep-sea crustaceans are highly lumin ous, thus furnishing what is believed to he the first proof that the source of light in the dark abysses of the ocean is the self-luminosity of the animal inhabi tants. A large prawn lying in a bucket of sea-water on deck was observed to be shining brightly, and, being seized, emitted copious clouds of phosphores cence from the orifice of the genital glands. By the light of this luminous secretion Mr. Alcoek was able, though otherwise in perfect darkness, to see the details of the interior of the bucket, and his own bauds, as well as the position and shape of the animals in the bucket. After the removal of the animals the water remained luminous for some time. Other crustaceans were al so luminous, but to a less extent.—[Lon don Timcs's Calcutta Correspondence. Medical Vegetables. Spinach has a direct effect upon the kidneys. Beets and turnips are excellent appe tizers. Tomatoes act upon the liver and as paragus purges the blood. Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in their effects upon the system. Common dandelion used as greens is excellent for kidney troubles. Celery acts admirably upon the nerv ous system, aud is a cure for rheumatism and neuralgia. A soup made from onions is regarded by the French as an excellent restorative in debility of the digestive organs. Red onions are an excellent diuretic, and the white ones are recommended to be eaten raw as a remedy for insomnia. Onions, garlic, leeks, olives and shal lots possess medicinal virtue of a very marked character, stimulating the mus culatory system, and the consequent in crease in the saliva aud the gastric juice promoting digestion. NOT SO VERY TAKING. "Do 3*ou know, Jimson, that I quite admire that young man who is calling on your daughter. He is quite a taking fellow." b "Excuse me, my friend, but I quite except to your conclusion. From my experience with him 1 should say it was quite impossible for him to take a hint." —[Boston Courier, Automatic Cont rlv ncvs. When Houdiu, having acquired a comfortable fortune, retired into private life, he built a handsome villa and amused himself by introducing various curious inventions*into his place and the grounds attached to it. The garden gate was situated some 400 yards from the house. A visitor had only to raise a diminutive brass knccker and let it fall upon the forehead of a fantastic face—making but a faint sound—when a large bell was set in motion in the villa. At the same timo the gate swung open automatically, the plate bearing the name "Robert Houdiu" disappeared, ! and another took its place on which was engraved the word "Entrez." When the postman delivered the letters ho had brought he was instructed to drop them through a slit in the gate into the receptacle provided lor this purpose. The box, directly this was done, started of itn own accord on its journey to the front door of the house by meaus of a miniature elevated railway. He also invented a contrivance by which, while lying in bed, he could feed his horse in a stable fifty yards from thtf villa, for on touching a small button there was put in motion an apparatus that caused the exact portion of oats required for the animal's meal to fall into the manger from the granary above. By another curious piece of mechanism a littlo bench that stood beside a ravine in a remote part of the grounds was so con i struoted that immediately any person | sat down upon it the macbino automati cally traversed a narrow bridge that spanned the gorge, and having de posited the occupant on the other sido the bench returned to its original posi tion.

It is an error, says Bradstreet's, *o suppose that eggs have no considerable use except for food. They are em ployed in calico printing, in photogra phy, in gilding, in clarifying various liquors, and in bookbinding. A large business has sprun ' up in the prepara tion of photographic paper with salted albumen, and one establishment alone is said to have used more than 2,000,000 eggs in six months for this purpose. Many attempts have been made to find a vegetable or animal substitute for al bumen, but in vain.

Its makers believe in the j Remedy. Isn't it worth a ! trial ? Isn't any trial prefer ! able to catarrh ? 1 After all, the mild agencies are the best. Perhaps they work more slowly, but they work surely. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are an active agency but quiet and mild. They're sugar-coated, easy to take, never shock nor derange the system and half their pow er is in the mild way in which their work is done. Small est, cheapest, easiest to take. One a dose.
