HE CAME BACK.
Julies Carie Refused to Be Buried Alive— He Rose Again.
Jules Carle of Junean is 78 years old, but vigorous and well preserved. Twenty- six years ago he was living in New West- minster, B.C. One morning, as he sat in a restaurant awaiting his ordered break- faat, he suddenly divd—at least there was every physical evidence of death—a _ vic- tim of heart disease. He was laid out for burial and his friends kept the usual vigil over his body.
All the time he was keenly conscious of what went on about him ard could realize his fate in store for him and yet was as helpless as if he had been really dead. In the afternoon of the next day his friends bore him in eaduess to the graveyard. He suffered untold agonies lying in the coffin, with the lid fastened down. He tried in vain to move or make a noise to indicate that he was alive. ‘he trance held him a deathlike prisoner. Finally he could feel himself being lowered into the grave. As the first clod of earth struck the lid of the coffin he began feeling warm blood puls- ing from his heart. All at once he could move his hands. He struck the coffin lid and called out for help. The alarmed pallbearers stopped shoveling dirt into the grave. He called again. The majority of those present beat a hasty retreat, alarmed over the iact thas the dead had come to life.
One courageous friend unscrewed the lid of the coffin and helped him out. He never felt better in his life, and ran about exercising his benumbed limbs. The peo- ple believed they had witnessed a miracle. He returned to town and entered the res- taurant, hungry for supper, aud when the cook a d servants saw him come in wrap- ped iu his shrond they rushed out throngh windows and Coors shaking with fright.— Chicago Times.
How Small Yankeedom Is Anyway!
From out of the British isles has come many a ludicrous commentary on affairs American, The Star of Bethlehem, a reli- gious paper, published at Leeds, is the lat- est candidate in the field of blundering journalism. Here is what it says with reference to the recent industrial disturb- ances:
‘‘A big revolution is now going on in the United States vf America and there is little doubt that the governme ut will be defeat- ed. The dictator, Debs, has been driven from his palace and he and his mistress are now hiding in the mountains, The great- est trouble has been experienced in the capital of Chicago, where Grover Cleve- land has obtained complete control. The railroad at that place tas been torn up and thrown into the Mississipi river, and the stock yards has been raised to the ground.”
Mistakes of Keformers,
When we speak of ‘‘financiers” we do not necessarily mean “capitalists.” One of the most glaring errors of the advocates of labor interests is to confound the capit} alist with the bondholder - and money changer. Those who would serve the maeses—the laboring class—should learn that they must do so with the assistance of, not in opposition to, the capital that em- ploys; and employing eapital suffers as greatly from the rapacity of the money lender as does the laborer himself. It is against the ‘‘professional financier,” or money broker, and his pliant tools, the susceptible scribblers and legislators, that we would warn our readers, not against the employing capitalist—the owner of mill, or mine, or factory—who, equally with his humblest employe, is being crushed to death beneath the golden chariot.—Blue and Gray.
Electrolysis in Irom Buildings.
The erection of immense iron structures and the enlarged use of iron for outdoor construction is attracting the attention of engineers and scientists, because of the electrolytic effects on the iron. Paints generally do not preserve the iron, and probably the best coating is made from a solution of asphalt snd bisulphide of car- bon. Sir W. Thompson advises that metal structures be connected by wires with a

But, bifore calling an indignation meeting, the average senti- mentalist is advised to go and see the house. It will probably make him panse in his undertaking. Anything more unlike what one would naturally expect of an artist's house could not be imagined, It is the color of gray plaster, awkwardly constructed, rambling, and unpardonably commonplace, There is no exayyeration in saying that it passeth the pe ofeven architectural ugliness.

As it is, one can easily imagine an ennobled soap boiler walking through the grounds, and dwelling with a smug complavency on its substantial well-to-do appearance. | Of course the honse has associations | enough, sentimental and otherwise. Land- seer bought itin 1825, when he was 23 years old, and lived in it till his death at the age of 71. In those days it was a little farmhouse with six rooms, and, perhaps, a great deal prettier than itis now. Init he painted, probably, not far short of 100 pictures. With the standing exception of Sir Joshua Reynolds’ house in Lei- cester square, it has received within its walls more distinguished visitors than any other artist’s house in Lon- don. But these associations seem, some- how, to lose their force when one in con- fronted with its hideousness. As for the inside, the rooms are large and siry and nicely arranged. The studio is cn the ground floor, forming an entire wing by itself, with two large side windows, but no skylight. In it Sir Edwin painted for nearly fifty years, clad for the most part in a gray tweed suit and wearing a wide green shade on his eyes. There has been a good deal of talk about painted panels which Sir Edwin was said to have perpe- trated. One in particular the queen is re- ported to have greatly admired. I asked old William Pedder, Sir Edwin’s gardener and attendant, about it,
“Well, sir,” was bis answer, ‘“‘all I can say is that I was ‘ere when the queen came, and that’s the door as she eame in —
I looked, expecting to find minature ‘“‘Monarchs of the Glen” painted all over it, but there was only a streak or two of whitewash visible. It was just such a door as an average man with a moderate list of acquaintances sees about 5,000 times a year. But, then, there is no limit to the immagination of e hardened journ alist.
‘‘Would you mind showing me the rus- ticseaton which Sir Edwin oarved his name?” I inquired,
“Inever ‘eard tell of no such thing, sir,” said the honest Pedder, shocked at the mere idea that his late master could ever have played such pranks without his knowledge.
