HE WENT TO THE CIRCUS.
LODDKK RK.MiY TO LICK TliK
SHOW K.M'El'T TIIK KLKI'IIANT.
That peculiar form of insanity which
is forever cropping out in some absurd
or serious maimer throughout the world
made its appearance some years ago
among tho mouutaius of North Carolina,
where it seizid upon George Louder.
His mania was an iiH-ahsorhiiig yearning
for a black broadcloth suit of clothes aud
and a plug hat. At night ho would lie
awake uud imagine how he would look
at camp meeting ; how the men would
envy and the gills mlinire him. He was
very puur, hut to deeply rooted had this
desire become that he actually stinted
himself in every way possible in his
efforts to save enough money to buy the
coveted articles. Ho weut barefooted,
with the inevitable "gallus" fastened rear
and front with pieces of stick ; ho even
deprived himself of tobacco.
At last the happy hour came when he
invested 87") in au outfit. The next
Sunday, and regularly thereafter, be ap
peared at every gathering in the country,
aud, being naturally a silent man, posed
in statuesque loneliness for the admira
tion of the crowd. But all this happi
ness was doomed when the
circus arrived. He was on hand early,
as usual, and stood around until the
crowd began to enter, when he followed.
It was his first circus. The elephant
stood immediately before him. He was
dumbfounded, but, unlike Jake Dye,
who remarked under similar circum
stances, "That's enough, I want to go
home," he continued to stand and look
in mute admiration, until his attention
was attracted elsewhere, but only for a
short time, when he returned to gaze
upon tho elephant.
While thus occupied a "gust ' came
down the mountains accompanied by
dicnching rain. Such was its force that
the tent collapsed and general consterna
tion prevailed. The elephant shook the
chaius about his feet, the tiger roared,
and everybody rushed for safety. Louder,
being a powerful man, made his way to
the side of the canvas followed by a
crowd. Without hesitation he drew a
knife and cut a slit, through which he
undertook to jump. Unfortunately it
was only large enough for his head,
which he thrust through, dropping his
precious hat outside. The loss of the
hat aud fear of the wild beasts behind
fairly crazed him. With another slash
at the canvas he made a second effort,
when to his horror he was seized by the
coat tails which were immediately torn
off aud he was himself dragged back.
Again lisiug, another effort was made
when his trousers were caught and he
wu-i pushed out to find himself in "dish
abiliiy." The suu had again cone out and the
alarm was subsiding when George win
discovered. In his right hand he held a
large flint rock, aud he was cursing in
the most violent manner. Now Geor
was never known to swear before, and
one of his fiicnds approached him.
Iu the name of common sense, George,
what is the matter?" he asked.
"Matter? II 1! Hit cost me sevin-
ty-uve ceuts to git in (liar, u hit cost
me seventy fivedollars to git out'n tliar,

IN A SERPENT'S COILS.
THE I'KRII. OF A WOMAN WHO WAS KX
HlWTINi; A BOA CONSTKK TOU.
From itie llnlyoke Iie'iiiue-rat.
At about 8 o'clock last night, when
the tent nan Dllcd with spectators, Mrs.
Wallace mounted the platform and took
from the box the fifteen foot l:a con
strictor. She twiued it around her neck
and body and then petted it as though it
was a kitten. After handling the reptile
for several minutes it began to get away
and opened its enormous mouth. The
spots on its body grew darker :'nd its
skill glistened in an unusual manner. In
its movements it became more lively, and
it was with difficulty that the charmer
could keep it around her neck. It uttered
a low, humming sound as it swung its
head I rem side to side. 1 Ins noise grew
faster and louder uutil it broke out into
lilt! appalling hiss of file king of reptiles.
The audience, who up to this time were
enchanted with the scene, drew away
from the platform, while they kept their
eyes fixed on the brave woman, who en
deavored to pacify the snake by drawing
her bands in rapid succession over its
body. The snake, instead of quieting
under efforts, seemed to increase in anger.
Its skin kept shining with a peculiar hue
and the hiss was prolonged uutil it could
be heard across the street. Tho snake
turned its head on the charmer, aud its
eyes flashed as it suddenly swung itself
around her neck and the coils began to
tighten. The woman uttered a scream.
Her husband, who had been watching
every movement, told her to choke it.
As soon as the woman heard her hus
band's voice she became remarkably cool,
and while the coils of the serpent were
slowly but surely choking her to death,
she quietly moved her hands down the
body of the snake. The snake saw the
movement and opened its jaws, but at
the same moment the woman had clutched
it aruuud the neck. With both hands
she squeezed it, aud then the coils be
gan to relax. While holding the neck
with one hand she removed the coils with
the other. When the suake was put
back into the box and a large coil of iron
cable thrown on top, the audience
breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Wallace said that he bought the
snake three months ago in New York
city from a dealer. Last year the same
snake crushed a woman to death while
she was handling it in a New York
museum. It is about to shed its skin,
and is apt to be ugly during this time of
the year.
RELIEF BY PRAYER.
One of the very commonest things
which God dues is that of answering
prayer. There is njthiug especially re
markable about it really, for why should
not God do as he has promised? Aud
why should he not reply to those who
properly speak to him ? But we some
times see instances where prayer is an
s Wired in a more couspieuous manner
than it is ordinarily, and it attracts cur
special attention. I will relate an exam
pie of this kind, iu the hope that it muy
prove to be an encouragement to faint
hearted Christians.
Some years ago there was a Christian
woman in one of the New England cities
who was a missionary, and her experience
was as follows . "Once, being out of
money aud provisions, I asked my dear
heavenly Father to give me my daily
bread. In less than au hour one who
was uearly a stranger handed me three
dollars. Several tiuioi when from home
and nearly out uf money, my wants have
beeu met iu answer to prayer ; and in
every instance the persons giving me the
mouey knew nothing of my special needs.
Once, when house-rent became due and
had no money, I asked the Lord and a
person called aud paid a debt amounting
to more than was needed. One morning
I read this promise : 'He shall give tbee
the desire of thy heart.' Feeling the
special need of couusel and advice I asked
the Lord to send to me Rut. Heury
lie-Win of Brooklyn, N. Y., from whom
we had not heard for many mouths. He
came that day on the noon train.
Uue latter cold night two years ago
last winter a widow lady liviug iu Con
nictiftlt, being- ery dinlittil, ariiae
the midnight hour and asked God to
send help. That same bight a cousin of
hers living in Louisiana, from whom she
had not heard fur many years was
exercised in luiud that be cuuld not
sleep, aud he arose and asked God to
help the suffering poor. While praying
he thought of his cousin, though not
supposing her to be needy. Yet bis iin
pressions became such that at daybreak
he rode several miles ou horseback to
bauk and scut her a check for fifty dol
lars.
Now these are a few specimens of the
niauncr iu which our heavenly Father
answers prayer for the needed relief of
bis childrcu. And tbey suggested the
very uatural question, Why should we
be so backward about applying to God
for all the help we need, especially when
it is not in our own power to help our
selves with provisions already at hand 1

LIFE IN THE SEVERED HEAD.
TIIESIKVIVAL OK COXSrlol'SNESS A FT Kit
HKCAI'ITATIoS l'HOVIiN.
A volume has just been published at
Paris in which Dr. Paul Loye, under
the title of "La Mort par la Decapita
tion," studies the question as to whether,
after decapitation, consciousness survives
for a thort time in the severed head and
physical Buffering is felt in both parts of
the executed body.
Everytime a head falls under the
sword or executions 's ax, says lr. Loye,
the imagination of the spectators has iu
the physiognomy of the victim, looked
for proofs of the survival of will and con
seiousuess. The eyes turned, which was
a sign of pain; the lips moved, which
showed that they wanted to speak; the
mouth opened, in order to bite, in a kind
of fury, There is not a movement of the
face which has Hut been interpreted ui a
mark of the continuation of feeling.
And ever siucc the guillotine mowed
down the heads of multitudes during the
reign of terror, scientists have stood
round the scaffold, biding all their hu
mane faculties vanish, and concentrating
their whole iutellect on the one question,
Does consciousness remain alter the
victim's head is severed from the bodyV
Iu connecti u with his belief Dr. Loye
quotes a terrible story told by M. Petit-
grand about an Anamite who was bc-
eaded by the sword in 1875 at Saigon:
"The place of the execution was the
Plain of Tombs, a vast sandy tract, serv
ing as cemetery to tho Auamites and
Chinese. Four Anamite pirates, taken
with their arms in their hands, were to
be beheaded. The chief of the band, a
man in the prime of life, energetic, mus
cular, brave without boasting, and firm to
the very last, had attracted my special at
tention, aud I decided to make my ob
servations only. Without losing sight of
him for a single moment I exchanged a
few words iu a loud voice with the officer
in charge, and noticed that the patient
was also looking at me with the liveliest
attention. The preparations having been
completed, I took my stand at the dis
tance of about two yards from hiiu. He
knelt down, but before bending his head
he exchaugtd a rapid look with me.
"His head fell down at the distance of
about a yard and a quarter from where I
stood. It did not roll in the usual way,
but stood with the surface of the wound
resting on the sand, a position by which
the heiuoirhage accidentally reduced to a
minimum. At this moment I was terror
stricken at the eyes of the doomed man
fixed frankly on my eyis. Not daring
to believe in a conscious manifestation,
I went quickly to one side of the head
lying at my feet, and I found that the
eyes followed me. Then I returned to
my first position; still the eyes went with
me for a short distance aud then quittid
me quite suddeuly. The face expressed
at that moment a conscious agony, the
'ony of a person iu a state of acute
iphyxiu. The mouth opened violently
as it to take in a 1 Tenth of air, and the
head, thrown off its equilibrium by th
motion, rolled over. This contraction of
the maxillary muscles was the last sign
of life. Since the moment of decapita
tion from fifteen to twenty seconds had
passed. "
THE SULTAN'S WIVES.
How many wives does he maintain ?
Well, there are between two and three
hundred ladies in the harem, but only
those who are mulhers really hold the
rank of wives. In the sultan's harem
though, as in every other Turkish hanui
fur that matter, there is always one who
is the favorite. She is virtually the sul
taua, and she generally manages to keep
the head of the household pretty well to
herself. Turkish women aru not much
different from any oilier women in their
leanings toward monopoly us regard the
possession of a man. There are many
women in the imperial harem who have
never exchanged ten words with tho
sultan.
The harems are mostly recruited from
Georgia ind Cireussia. Dealers gu iuto
these districts and purchase the girls
from their parents at piices ranging from
a few hundred to thousands of dollars.
The price entirely depends upon the ap
pearance of the article. Tho poorer look
iug girls are kept at home to supply the
home demand. The Georgian or Cir
cassian young man who wants a wife
gets his mother or some other female
relative, in whose judgment he has con
fidetice, to 'elect a wi('e for him from the
local harems, and he pays for her
sheep, in goats, or in asses, as his means
will allow. Recently, I have been tuld,
the installment plan of paying for a wife
has been introduced with great success in
Cireassia. It enables a young man
secure an article of better quality than if
he hud to pay value down.
The bet. looking girls, however,
go to tho brokers or dealers. Money
talks in Georgia and Cireassia just
loudly as in London or New York. The
girls thus purchased are handled with
great care, and are disposed of at profits
ranging from 200 to 300 per cent, in the
market) of Constantinople, Smyrna, and
other large cities. Cor. N. . Itcrald,

"Glove which are sold as kid are often
made of huiuau skin," said Dr. Mark 1 .
Nanlyz, the Greek pbysii ian, of No. T 1 1
Piue street yesterday. ''The skin on
the breast," continued the physician, "is
soft and pliable, and may be used in the
making of gloves. Winn people buy
gloves they never stop to question about
(he material of which they are made.
The shopkeeper himself may be iu ignor
ance, and the purchaser has no moans of
ascertaining whether the iiio,erial is
human skin or nut. The fact is the
tanning of human skin it extensively
carried on in Fiance and Switzerland.
The product is maniifactuiing into
gloves, and these arc imported into this
couiltijf. Thus you see a person may be
wearing part of a distant relatives' body
and not know it."
Then the doctor drew from a drawer
a brand new pair of black L'V.'ei.
There," he said, "is a fine article made
from the skin of child. As the hide of
the kid compares with that uf a goat, so,
of course, does the skin of a child com
pare with that of an adult, und it is
much sougH for in France for glove
purpose s."i
"The skin on a man's back makes
good sole leather," said the doctor.
Nature has protected mans spine by a
skin that is much heavier than that on
other parts of the body. Here is a piece
of well-tanued skin from the calf of a
man's leg." And the doctor displayed a
bit of white leather, strong and thick.
In a museum in Belgium are the
dies of six members of unc family.
They were all buried in a tan yard, and
when they were exhumed, years ul'ter-
wards, the skin, flesh and even toe bones
were well preserved,so thoroughly tanned
were all the parts. The specimens are
iu a better state of preservation than are
the Egyptian mummies.
