Ecientiflc Experiments Give Rise to-Absurd Stories.

The'popular notion ,that the eyes o.the dead sometimes retain complete Im-ages of scenes that have been cnactetbefore them at tho moment of deathlifts received fancied confirmation in

i l a t c years by experiment, and ther! are some who, from reading carejes^ o.| exaggerated accounts of these cxperij-incnts, might got an Impression thatscience had placed upon this notion the

j*kttfll> of approval. Tho following note! from tho Lancet (London) gives us theI very small mofllcnm of truth that is the' basis of all such stories. It says:

'JUiu'.er tlie title of ''in Dead Byes,' an•enn..,' contemporary recently made a

statement which carries Ita own confutajlon with It. It la to the effect that aphysician ami enthusiastic photographcr, being desirous of testing the amountof truth In tho theory that dead eyesretain complete Images, had carefullyexamined the eyes of hundreds of deadpeople, and, though he had never seenanything like a distinct picture mirror-ed he had certainly distinctly tracedboth letters and objects on the iris ofthe eye, nnd that when the photographictest was applied these images became

j visible. In one case a capital letter of'peculiar forui wua shown which could,be traced to a testament, held hi theI bauds shortly before death. In another| case a numeral r/as distinctly pictured,i which was,traced *x> a clock face In tharoom. Th

a Cadet at 22 and a BTalor Genteral Five Yearn Later.

Seven brevets and promotions, nil foi"gallantoml meritorious service" in thejfield, all won In the space of two years,(Is the unique record established byBlajor'General Wesley Merrltt, soon tobe, In all probability, tho United Statesmilitary governor In the Philippines.Six times he was rewarded thus forbravery In particular engagements, andonce for Ills service during the critirtcampaign.

Merritt was In the thick of It His cav-alry command distinguished Itself byIta gallant work on ground as unsuit-able for the operations of mountedtroops tin any tbat could well" be select-ed. It charged through woods- andearthworks, capture'd a'Stiattery of artil-lery and carried evcrytlrtng before itMcrrltt'a bravery was s^gain rewarded,thia time n, .j. ongaaior generalship inthe United States army, dating i'r0wMarch 13. 1805. - .

In the days succeeding this conflictMerrttt's command was in almost dailycolluion with the forces of the enemydown to April .19, when Lee surrender-ed the remnant of bis defeated army.Gen. Merrltt was one of those presentat that memorable conference In Me-

ed from the war a major general at 27;It was in the battle of Bevcrley Ford

that Merrltt made his mark. The en-gagement, known as the battle of Bov- j Lean's house which marked "the prac-1erly Ford, Is recognized by military j tical end of the attempt to disrupt tho !writers as the most conspicuous cavnl-j Union. Ho received the'exceptionalry engagement of the war. The num- i honor of a brevet major generalship,

United States army, "for gallant andmeritorious service during: the cam-paign ending with tho surrender ofi theArmy of Northern Virginia."' This wasone of the rare Instances In which a

.division commander was rewarded'for["services during an entire campaign. Atthe same time be was appointed to amajor generalship of volunteers, wltb

from April 1, 1805.

At the battle of Gettysburg, his nextbig light, Merrltt performed servicewhich was not fully appreciated untillater. Ills command got Into the fighton the third day, the day after Plck-ett's charge" and engaged the extremeConfederate left hear Round Top. Hewas facing a superior force, but hokept It so busy that when Lee sentword to Ix>ngstreet to move forwardand back up 1'iekett Longstreet repliedtbat the Yankee cavalry was givinghim all that he could attend to, andthat he was uitablo to help I'lckett.Considering the mighty results thathung on small chances that day, It Isdifficult to say how great Merrltt'n ser-vice to the country really was. It didnot go unrewarded, for Merrltt wa»breveted major from July 1, 1803, "forgalant and meritorious conduct."

On the ilth of May, 18(M, Sherldai.was only slsc miles from Ulchmond,when he was opposed by Stuart's cav-alry. The later believed that the safe-ty of their capital was at stake andfought like demons. Sheridan usuallyknow how his battles were coming out,but he waa anxious on that day, andfor a tluio tho Issue hung In tbe bal-ance. Then u great cheer rose on tholeft of the Union line, and Merrltt's.and Wilson's divisions (lushed forwardIn u subro charge that swept the Con1

federates off tho field and carried theday for Little 1'hll. That action madeMerrltt a brevet lieutenant colonel. j

SQT We had the pleasure of hearingan excellent sermon by Rev. T. II.Athey, last Sunday evening. His textwas PsalinB cxix.ll,— ''Thy word haveI bid lu mine heart, that I might sinnot against tbco." Ills division waslike this : Tho very bo«t thing in thoworld,— God's word ; the best place toput it,— tho bcart ; the very best reasonfor so doing,— that I might not sinagainst God. It was an earnest andultquent argument for learning the realspirit of the Bible,— tho lovo that bindsGod and man,— the governing impulsethat is above and boyoud law, that Im-pels obedience without fear.

That School House. .ME. EDITOE :—Tho Board of Educa-

tion think that wo ought to have moreschool room. Doubtless we should ; butwhat about our ability to carry a largeindebtedness ?, It seems to me the bulkof the tax-payers are fully loaded upnow. The proposed addition they esti-mate will cost $4000; according to thoplan shown we, f would say it wouldbe nearer $6000. Now,'.can't we getrelief for less money ? While the Boardare probably doing the bust they can,yet a tew suggestions might, withoutcasting any reflections, help them outof the present difficulty.

First, build a S100Q house near FiratRoad and Thirteenth Street, then Oil U.That will relieve the primary rooms inthe Central.

Second, sift out of the Central schoolthose scholars who are dodging iu fromthe borders, who ought to attend theoutside schools.

Third, raise the grade a little in theborcer schools.

Fourth, move tbe most advancedclaes in the first story in the Central,up stairs. We think that will bring atleast some relief where needed, for thereis no question but tbe teachers downstairs are tbe hardest worked of any intho district, and for the good of all con-cerned ought to have relief.

J6@f Two of the city papers have re-cently made quite a spread over a pros-pective water company in Hammonton,and many of our-peoplo have expressedtheir surprise. That's just the way, —we have to "go away from home tolearn the news.1' We have made someinquiries among those who ought toknow, and cannot learn that there isanything new in that line,— nothingbut what we have published monthsago. In fact, those who have beenmost active in tbe matter,— have donetbe most work to bring the questionbefore the people,— are not in lavor offorming a water company, or giving afranchise to any association or corpora-tion ; they think that the town shouldown its water supply, and run it.Judging from the experience of citiesand towns, a good water system would,after a few years, pay interest on itscost, and installments of the principalas they become duo,— leaving • a freesupply for flro purposes. We presumethe subject will be again iotroduced attown meeting on the eighth of Marchnext.

You who keep a tabby cat as an or-nament and as a plaything,. have no:<Iea of the immense assistance whichthe government finds the tabby cat in•aring for tho government's stores.

A few years *ngo everything in thejovernment storehouses wns^destroy-?d by rats, and mice, and it looked asJiougli not even tho steel shells wouldbe secure from their ravages. A gen-tleman who had a useful cat at homesuggested that the storehouses be sup-plied with a corporal's guard of cats,to protect the government's goods.

His suggestion was adopted, and now(he army storehouses of the UnitedStnTes are officially supplied with catsto protect the property.

Tho storehouses of tlie United StatesArmy Building of New York have fourbandsome cats, which were recently

I ihrlsteued with Spanish names.' Thechief of the guard Is Queen Isabella.She Is a splendid mouser and an ad-mirable mother. At present she hassix children, but as yet the government.!has not appointed them to the armystorehouse positions, and It Is probable |lhar Her Majesty's offspring will bedropped Into a pull of water in a few'lays. ' •

Queen Isabella's assistants are Wey-'er and Blanco. Weyler is 15 years oldand has a fierce growth of whiskers.

Effle did not make quite a full con-fe^slon at that-time; not .until later,wlren they had drawn nearer together.

The exact words of 'his reply noteven to'ncr mother did elie repeat, butthey caused tears of repentance anOof gladness to flow in abandonmentfrom her heart.

As time wore on, when they tooktheir dally drives, the spectacle of thequiet-faced man and the now blooming, happy young wife caused muchtalk, arid much wonderment, that fo?

An Apparently Simple Order MixedHim Up Badly.

Clothing the Immature In a little briefauthority and responsibility Is Ire-quently attended with results the re-verso of impressive, as hi the case ofone of TJncle Sam's youthful naval offl-cers, concerning whom the BostonGlobe furnishes the following:

While the Philadelphia was lying atthe Brooklyn navy yard a young ensign•was placed in command of the deck. It•happened that only one Item remainedon the list of the morning's duties, andthat was to sweep decks at seven bells.

• It was not a very martial commandto give, but as the time approached, the

j officer of the deck waxed nervous. Haimagined that the eyes of all bandswere on bun, and tbat tbo safety of theship depended upon his giving the or-der In Oie proper voice. At three min-utes of seven bells be again scannedthe order book. It read, "Seven bells:Pipe sweepers."

It was plain enough, and the youngofficer took his stand uear the main-mast, and called out in a -very weakvoice, "BoVn's mate!"

The man addressed sprang to his footwltb finger touching cap. "Ay, ay, Blr,"ho replied.

Qlunclng hastily around, the scaredofficer muttered hoarsely, "Swipe peep-ers!"

It was an entirely new order to theboatswain's mate. He touched his capInquiringly. The ensign, more con-fused than over, stammered doupcr.ntcly:

"Peep uwlpcrB, my man."Tho words were overheard, and the

laugh which followed proved the laststraw. The ensign drew himself up,and with withering scorn exclaimed:

"Swoop plpero, and be quick about U,tool"

This time bin order wan obeyed, tbogrinning boatswain's mate having fath-omed )>ln meaning.

CANDY EATING. •

Game Important Truths Abon-t TJiInAU-Importnnt Subject, •

To the average child there are twodelights so great that the sophisticatedman or woman of the world1 can hardlycomprehend the bliss th'ey cause. One!a to eat Ice cream; the other, to' catcandy. .Ono woman confesses , thatt?hen she was a small girl, and wastold that heaven was a place of abso-lute bliss, she Instantly decided in herOwn mind that In that place therewould be galjon freezersnf_tce creamalways standing openyind^tbat thfttrees would bear on the/r branches, anddrop upon the grbuniWjelow, thousands:of candies. •

It is a pity that an article wtfose/wlseiise gives so much pleasure and Jlvorlcflso little harm as does good^candyshould have been1, abused until It has

7become an evil. Some parents feelthat to teep their childreji In healththey must forbid them to eat'candy atany time, while other parents permit Itto be devoured In such quantitlca\tb'<it-'their Ignorance can be theircuse for the sin of allowing such indul-gence. Dentists and physicians unite'in the opinion that pure candy, catcuin proper quantities and at propertimes, can do a well child oo haun.Good candy may be now procured frommany dealers, the purify of whose bon-bons has Justly won for them reputa-tion. Let the mother buy these ran-dies and portion them out to her littleones, a few at a time, and always rightafter a substantial meal. One mothercalls licr boys and-girls to her roon»every day after their, simple but beailjr,noonday dinner and gives to each afew simple candles, such as cream pep-permints, chocolate creams and nmplecreams. Nut bonbons are never allow-ed. The children are satisfied with th'lsmethod of taking their goodfos, andteeth and digestion arc,not impairedby the practice. Of course If n cliild !»not well the candy Is not allowed, forthis mother believes more In diet'thanJn drugs.

One morning, In the beat of last sum-mer, I was riding In a street car. wheua father entered, carrying In his armsn pale, wasted girl of 3 years of age.The mother followed. Had the chlld'Beyes been closed she would have lookedas'lf she were already dead Instead Ofdying of mlrnsmus. In one blrdllkoclaw of a band she clutched a brightpink cocoannt cake. When the fathersat down she dropped her heavy beadto his shoulder and lifted the pink ntro-clty to her bloodless lips, where It slow-ly but steadily disappeared. The tiredmother sighed anxiously.

"She ain't ate a bite for breakfastthis day," she complained 'to her hus-band.

"Oh, well," was tlie hopeful rcplf,"she'll be all right when It gets coolerweather."

"By which time she will be In an-other world." said I. to my Indignantself, "and she is hurried there by thosewho would saerlflce all to savelife."—Harper's Bazar.

fho usual thing tpld him Is: "Get a littie salt and put It on the tall of the birdand you can catch him.'" Of course, the"child and this others look at ea<;ij othferand think it a huge Joke. Although thismay be the caso In most parts of theearth, It Is nota Joke at Laysan Island.

Laysan Island, situated, as ft Is—logitude 171 degrees west, latitude 25degrees and 47 minutes north—Is a low,long Island, two miles by two and ahalf In width,'with the highest altitude29 feet above the sea. On first approachone sees large, flocks of birds, whichmako a black streak In the air, abovethe island. This Is surrounded by reefs.The harbor Is on the southwest side.The Island itself Is only a largo bankof sand, with a lagoon In the center.This is some three miles la circumfer-ence. There arc ten buildings upon It,including a lighthouse. There Is alsoa railroad a mile and a quarter long,which Is used for carrying guano to thewarehouse.

Among the many things of Interestwhich may be'mentioned are, first, thebirds, of which there are millions.Among the sea birds found there arethegoonie (white and black), the booby,the man-of-war hawlr, the tropic bird,the petrel, five or six species of themutton bird, the coyllo and other varie-ties.

Among the strange things that maybe told of on this little spot are theland birds,,'found fn no place on eartiexcept 6n; Eajsan Island. They are' thewingless or walking birds, sucb as theLaysan canary, miller bird, love bird,and the Laysan duclr..—Pacific Com-mercial Advertiser.
