This Is what occurred a ? the result of th "Diamond Wedding , " relates the New Yor Herald : The ceremonial formed an epoch I New Yoik's social affairs. Until tint time xwoy luck In 1853 , this city had had no rec ord of so splendid a marriage. Never hai there assembled so great a crowd In this city to assist at any smllar function. Th ° noun papers at the time contained columns of ilc tcrlp'Jons of the services , great lists of name of distinguished parsons who were prcyint long catalogues of ths wedding presents ilccoiously numbered and credited to th \arlous wedding guests. Poems were writ ten In honor of the decision , nnd even n satlio was published by n well known poet which nearly led to n challenge , and dli tVart n suit for libel.

This vviu the only blur upon flic se renity of thn happiness of this International man-Inge , for Don IXnlmn desired that his Immento estates should go to his own child Instead of to comparative strangers of his own blood. The end came to this Ame-rlco- Hlsptnlan romnnco when Don Kstnban's widow was Informed that under the Spanish law a widow without children could not In herit by right of dower. The Spinlard's rel atives then proceeded to dcprlvo her of nil htr possessions. The diamonds which Don Hstalnn had given her , and which had made her wedding so notable , were heirlooms and wf > r < restored to the family.

A Conductor HI-IVVIMMI < lu Air All\e anil ( hiniirdi llolovi. It Is po $ lble , and even probable , that the electrical conditions of the atmosphere have au Important bearing on bodily health. As ovdlence of this , says the London Lancet , maybe - bo Instanced that tendency to heidache , Irri tability and general malaise experienced bj many persons Just previous to a thunder storm. Among the conditions that pred'sposc to sunstroke In India there has been noticed that peculiar condition of the air "In which the hairs of a hoiso's tall repel each other. In which the hair ? of the head stand on end , In which a man exposed to Its Influence become : ! lirltable , headachy nnd restless without ItnjW- Ing exactly what Is the matter with him. " Various observers have remarked that a thun der slorm Is often preceded by an Increased frequency of cases of heat apoplexy. Whethci UilH phenomenon be strictly attributable to electrical condition ? , to the heat , to some al teration In the resplrablllty of the air , or to other causes , It Is dlfllcult to determine. As to the soutco of atmospheric electricity theie aie many hypotheses , but little positive knowledge. The problem of the thunder cloud still awaits solution ; yet this would seem only to lequlrea series of well arranged laboratory experiments on a yufllclently extensive esalo. In the meantime , Ita \ safe to say that the elecU ideation of the air Is In i-ome way con- nontmlilih Hm lirnRnnnn nfqtor. . Whatever be the determining cause , the air before a thunder storm becomes charged with elec tricity , and a charge of opposite sign Is In duced upon the earth ; in other words , the dif ference of potential between the earth and the air goes on Incieasing. The body of a man Eta-uliug on the earth's surface , and having , therefoie , the earth's potential , may be re- Raided as a discharging point doing Its bsst to effect the restoration of electric equilibrium between the earth and the air In Us vicinity. This process will continue until , e'ther ' by a Meady discharge or by the disruptive dls- chaige of the thundei storm , tension Is re- 1'oved nnd equilibrium la effectually restored The man has really been suffering from an ac celerated rate of electrical discharge. Now , If hl body be icgarded as a connection between earth and air , it Is to bo re.nembarcd that the d'ffcrencs of potential between the two Utter , and therefore between the head and feet of the man. Is subject to various sudden and ex tensive fluctuations. A potential difference at one moment of 100 volt'J or less may , In a few minutes , rise to the sumo numb ° r of thousands. ExperimentIng - Ing In tlie Isle of Anan , Lord Kelvin found the difference of potential between the earth and an Insulated burning match at a height of nine feet to vary from 200 to 100 volts , and "during bree/cs fiom the east nnd northeast It went up to 1,000 volts. " He points out that the gradu il variations minute after minute through so wide s range us three or four to one , and no * infrequently rising to twenty time-1 me oidlnaiy minimum , must have been luo to positive- electrified masse ? of air within a few hundred feet of the place of observa tion , wafted along with the gentle winds of Ive feet , or ten feet , or fifteen feet a sjcond. " If , therefore , the body bo subjected to such vailntlons of potential as occur In fine weather between the earth nnd the electrified masses of all , of which Loid Kelvin speaks , nuth more formidable must bo the conditions that c\l3t between the earth nnd tha heavily charged , thunder : loud. 1 ho animal body , accustomed as It IBS become to Its electrlc-il environment , and Ittlo pjnsltlvo to the slighter fluctuation ! ' . of loten'lal , nuy , nevertheless , bo seriously In- luenced by the severer manlfsstatlons of the hundrr Htorm. Questions of this kind ial some Interesting pointy In connection with ho therapeutic use of the so-called electros - s atlc bath This consists , .is Is well known , of the Pimple placing of the Insulated l uy n connection with one or the other polo of ho stale machine Not that under the a ; condltUns the electilclty Is Btilctly "static" or at rest ; the body of the patient la tra versed by a current at very high potential , vhlili compl3tc3 Its circuit through the air t Is Mated that with a fourplateHoltz ma chine the Insulated body was brought to a lotentlal of 30.000 volts , the current pausing jelng about 1-40,000 of an ampere. Tor this iiocednro there are claimed well-determined > hysologli\ ! l effects , such as Increased ac- lon of the skin ; an Influence on blood pres- ur ? , an shown by sphygmographlc tracings ; n Increase' In the- frequency and the depth f the respirations , as well as Increased cx- retlon of urea nnd phosphates.

The following strange story was told a PHtsbLrg Post reporter by a Fort Wayne brakcman who Is employed on the eastern division : "It was on a light enclns which was being haulcl over the Union Pacific read from D n- ver to Omaha. My posl'ion was that of brakeman - man , and nu It was a wet , nasty night and I did not care to expose myself any more than was necessary , I sneak3d into the cab of the dead engine and tried to keep myself as warm as I could v\J'h the aid of an old olanket I found In the engineer's chest , which I wrapped about me and laid down on the bunk. About th ? time that 1 got comfortably fixed and was doling , with my eyes half closed , I was startled by a loud , long , pierc ing call for brakes. I knew eld Billy Ounkan , the engineer , would never have let out such a blast as that unless In the preseno ? of great danger. Hastily throwing off the old blank't , I Jumped up and peered through the darkness. Wo were running along about thlrty-flvo miles on hour , and right ahead of us I was startlsd to perceive another train approaching nt a higher rate of speed. There was riot much chance to jump , ns It was in fernally dark , and I knew there wjs a high cliff close to the track at that place I was about to drop on my knees and pray for for giveness for my past s'ns ' when I luckily thought that the firebox would bs a good , safe place In which to weather ths collision , and In an Instant I had jumped through the fire door. "I landed on some- clinkers which iiad been left on the grate bars , and had just got on my Knees when there came an awful crash , such as I had never heard In my life before , and I felt the old mogul going first up and then down , and the sickening sensa tions of those few seconds were paralyzing. I was tumbled about pretty roughly , and had the skin knocked off my legs and my head cut , but nothing could crusu me , for I was In an Iron safe that was well built , although It was never Intended for a life preserver. I though once , however , that It was all up with me , for I felt the old boiler collapsing under the weight of loaded cars that were piling on top of It.After awhile everything was still , and , knowing that the worst was over , unless the debris took fire and roasted me olive , I made an effort to crawl out , but could not do so , as car trucks , and frames ne > rc piled high above the wreck. I thought It was a month till the wrecking train came , and then I began to cry out like a madman and Implore help They must have thought that 1 was lying under the engine with my legs flushed , for they gave all their attention to me , and after a while they got the trucks cleared away , and who did I see but big Barney , the wreekmaster , crawling between two cor sills , with a bottle of whisky In his hand. Before he got out to where I was I reached out and grabbed the bottle , and you should have ween the look on his face when ho perceived mo safe and sound and getting away with good whisky. It was sometime before they got mo out , and beyond the bruises already mentioned I was as sound as before thewreck. . Poor old Billy , the erj- glnccr , waa killed , as was also the fireman of the other engine , and two tramps , who were on a car next to the light engine , were crushed to a jelly. The firebox saved my life , and I never heard of another man hav ing sc.ved his bacon In the same manner. " Tlip riiMtcNt Time in Cnllfornlii , IB NOT offered by the Burlington route.

"People generally think the man who starts a new town has n snap , " remarked General Passenger Agent Whitney of the Oreat North ern tc the St. Paul Pioneer Press man "They assume- that somebody favored with a largo confldsnce bump of good fortune ilccid's to make a town , nits back In his chilr , finol.cs good clrars and wears 'hot rocks , ' and the town Is made. On the contrary , n man who trier to build a town nnd a s'ttlement suc ceeds only after n struggle more Intends than the average rltl7.cn Is capabl * of in- during , often surpassing the limits of the avenge citizen's Imagination Without hav ing the Immigration bump lmnicnsl > ly devel oped you never need cttempt to establish a colony or start a town. " Mr. Whitney Illuitrntcd nil this v.lth a racy account of the cstablls > liml > nt of Chi nook by 1) . It. McQInnls , secretary of the ConmitrcUI club , who gained for hlm'clf by accomplishing his laudable purpo % the euphonious scbrlaiiet of "Dook of Chinook " As traveling passenger agent of the Great Northern , In 1880 , Mr McQInnls spent much tlmo "hustling" In the Milk river valley , Mont. Shortly afterward he was nnde ad vertising agent. About this time the road wan extended from Devil's lake Into Mon tana through the Milk river valley to Great Falls and Helena. Ho conceived the Idea of bullllnt ; up n town In the valley , b3cnuse he thought It was a good country. Why he thought so he did not nnd elocs net yet ex actly know. " A sort of boomer's Instinct In spired him to boom that desolate waste full of coyotes' bowls nnd red men's shrieks and convert It Into a "metropolln" of trade and commerce Hit" scheme was his own. No ono elpa want d It. He could not get rid of It. Finally JIsc'i effo'ts vers crowned with succesy. After advertising Chinook thrcJ months all through the east the town was divided off Into lots , held by a townslte company , which give quit claim deeds to the settlers. Some tlmo during the latter pirt of Fell- luary people began to Hock there from the cast , first In partUs of two and three , and afterward In squads. The gtmblfrs , of course , took po"3csslon ard fleeced the set tlers to the second cuticle of their skin 33 fast ns they cnme The country looked wild and the Indians w r ? wicked. The fcttlers fied In droves. The special settlement agent whom Mac placed in charge "stood In" with the gamblers and everything went wrong ilde up. All this time the father of Chinook sat s'Tencly In bis offlc' in St. Paul congratu latlng himself upon his success One day he received the following telegram from the company's i\pcnt 'Tor heaven's sake do something. Settlers going as fast as come. " Ho took the next train for Chi nook. General Manager Allan Manvel met him at the union depot nnd to encourage him , inlel' "If you can keep the p = ople and think business warrarta It we will build a magnificat dppot there Immed'ntely. ' " On the morning of larcb 12 the wlrds blew fiercer than usual at Chinook and the black clouds overhead scattered a dismal rain on the murky scene Mac beheld ns he got oil the train. He walked up the hill to th point he bad selected for a 5500,000 city hall aid the first sound he heard was the jell of a drunken man and ths click cf poker chip ? lily special agent was Inside playing faro It was a crisis InUc's life. Walking boldly Into the gambllr lint , he said : "Here , you'll ttoj ) this or walk over my ilewel bodyi. Quit night here ar I'll hove eiery one of you'arre od nnd the depot will be built Eomewhcro else" The gamblers packed up and most of them left town. Mac's experience at the train was as try ing ns that in the gambling hell. When the train came In half n dozen settlers and their families tumbled off , dragging after them their earthly possessions. They btood Ir resolutely on the platform , while the sharp drlz/lc cut their cheeks , gazing sulUnly at the apparently barren hills , covered with dty grass. As soon as their eyes lighted on the Ind'an ' tepees across the river they groaiud with disappointment. On" burly fellow flopped Into the station and .said to the ajjent : "Seo here , mister , what's the price of a ticket back to Sugar Click , Injlanny ? " "What ! Do you want to go uack S3 soin ? " "Too durn dry. Ef I could git hold uv that feller McQInnls , vv'io callol this dathed desert a paradise , I'd skin him alive , be gosh. " Mac heaid this remark and stepped fo-- ward. After much sollcitat'on he InduceJ the party to wait Igng enough to see the country. The next day he drove them around and "did the jolly. " Finally , after much grief and deliberation , houses began to arise , and at the end of two months the depot which Mr. Manvel built was earning $3,000 a month. This last s'ason 1,000 care of cattle were shipped out of Chinook , the population of which Is nearly 1,000. The town ha * a good newspaper nnd all modern conveniences , and gives the railroad company at least $200,000 .t 'jear.

Dyspepsia U not cnly one of the most com mon diseases , but It Is alto one of thv nio.st common causes for the loss of hair , says a medical Journal. Nature Is veiy careful to guard and protect and supply the vital organs with the proper amount of nutri ment , but when she cpnnot command n suffi cient quantity cf blood supply for all the or gans she very naturally cuts off the supply of parts the least vital , like thr > hair and nails , so that the most Important organs , like the heart , lungs , etc. , may bo better nourished and perform their work more satisfactorily. In case ? of severe fevers one can readily nee how nature economizes. If one will examine a hair very closely from the beard or head It will bo seen that It gives somewhat of a his- toiy of an Individual ( luring1 the time It vsas growing. It will be observed that It shows attenuated places , .showing that at tome period of Its growth the blood supply was deficient from overwork , anxiety or under feeding. Speaking of dyspepsia being one of the most comrocm causes of ale pecia I will jiiUI that a very common causeof 1 .Indigestion Is Ir regularity of meal hoars. The human system seems to form habits d vid It performs Its functions In a gieati measure In accordance with the habits formed. This seems to be- particularly so In roffVU to eating , and you might say drinking , ten. Your stomach gets Into the habit of accepting your meals at a certain hour every c&y , and at that hour It Is ready for It. If you , however , take meals at Irregular hours youi-tnke your stomach by surprise * and It doeunnot know when to ex pect a meal and It It , "ot In that state of readiness for promptmnd perfect performance of Its work. Be metro careful about what you eat , when you eat Itnanil you will have less dyspepyla and fewer bilfl heads. CoiiHiilinlloii Frcp.

An authority on th ? subject of sleeping garment ! * , says the New York Sun , declare1- that probably not moie than 50 per cent of the men In the United States wear nigh1 shirts ; but the women throughout the coun try , almost wlthou' exception , wear night gowns. The p'rcentnge of men wealing night shirts ly greatest In cities nnd smallest In the country. It Is sild tint In this city , counting all the men , probably about 75 pci cent w ar night shlits ; It will be seen , there fore , that there must bo parts of th" countiy- In which the proportionate number of night shirt weiiers Is small. The percentage of men weiring bleeping guments Is , however , now steadily Increasing most rapidly In the cities , but It ly Inc-easlng steadily and with a pretty even distribution throughout the country. Obviously , there are many employments of men that would practically preclude the wearing of night shirts A soldier in time of war would Inrdly wear a night shirt when h went to bed , although the English nre said to have fought In pajamas lu Africa ; nor would a sailor , who might be- awakened at any moment by a call for all hands They might go to bed with all their clothes on , erIn In uml rclotheM alone , which last condition dcscvibes the sleeping custom of hundreds of thousands of men everywhere. "There are plenty of men In comfortable circumstances , " a haberdasher said , "who go to b.d In unde-clo lies Instead or w earing sleeping garments because they prefer to ; there nre otners wno no so simply uecauyo that lu the way to which they ar ? accus tomed , for the habit of wearing night shirts , " thhaberdaiher argued , "Is an acquired habit , just as fie tcs e for certain fruits or vegetables might bo an acqilired taste. The grat fact remains that thp night shirt IB still a luxuiy , and one which , at former pricey , niiny denied themsclv-s. With night shirts a' $1 apiec ? there1 were imny who found the co t of the article an Important consideration , nnd p cfen d to spend the money for something else , with night shirts at 50 cents apiece , made possible by the re duced cost of materials and the advanced methods of manufac lire , th 10 Is a growing demand for them from nil parts. Ther" Is one wholesale house In New York City , probably the only one In ths country , that Is engaged in the manufacture and sale of sleeping garments exclusively ; It makes them cf nil sorts , for men , women and chil dren , and In great variety , 1's mail's bleeping garments alona number over 400 In Its catalogue. Thei are , of course , not 409 dif ferent styles , pajamas , for example , are all of practically the same fashion , and , while th're Is nor made a summer night shli t which Is cut rather low In the neck and with out a collar , night shirts gen rally are sub- stu tlally alike in shape ; but there ai ? 400 Blejplng garmentK vaiylng In the kind and quality of the materials used , In style cf finish and trliiiulng ) , In colors and b'zes ' , anl ranging In retail prlco from 50 cents to $100 each. The sale of pajamas Is Increasing , but the Increase Is slow. The pi Ice , no doubt , has eomtthlng to do with this. The lowest priced pajamas sell at about $1.25 at retail ; they run from that up to about $15. They arc mode of various materials , In cotton , wcol anl silk , and finished In a varl ty of styles. Of men's sleeping garments no hi the proportion of night shirts to pajamas Is about ten to one. one.Night bhlrts are- made of about a doren dlffer nt materials Including niii'lln , cambilc , nainsooks , lawns , Madras , cheviots , baleens , white * , colored nnd figured , flannels , llnni and bilk. Muslin night shirts sell at retail at 50 cents to $1.50 , sateen at $1.25 to $5 , silk at $5 to almost any pi Ice. They are sold regularly up as high as $ JO , and such goods are kept constantly on hand by the manufac turer. Occasionally a night fahlrt Is t-old as high as $100 , but puch sales are e.\ceptlonal. Mortal e sold at $50 , but Miles at that pi Ice are very rare. Ten dollars Is about the pop ular pi Ice for n Bilk night elilrt , and first- class retailers of men's furnishing goods carry shirts up to that price regularly In stock. Abovtv that Is in the region of fancy prices. Some of the nuoro expensive night shirts are. . most elaborately embroidered on the finest materials. Usually they aio bought for wedding outfits. Fifty per cent of the night shlits sold ar ; of muslin. Ninety per cent of all ore more or leeu elaboiately trimmed The colored sat eens ore pink and blue. All the icst of the cotton fabrics used are white , but e-ven the low-priced goods are trimmed ; many of them with fancy woven trimming , blue erred red , rawed on to the garment. Silks aie hold In colors ; pink , blue > and white ( plain ) aie preferred , but other colors can be had , and a few night shirts of figured silks are sold , iinur MAKI.NO vrATisMA\ . i\-o\ fl-nor llnlt'H1 Mil ll ll IT of IVl'll- Ex-Governor Boles sold several car loads of fine steers In Chicago a few days ago and In response to a general demand to know how he fed steers ho hau written a letter to the Breeders' Gazette. The steers averaged ] , 400 pounds and were 197 In number. Ho wns paid $390 a hundred. Ho bought the steers In southern Minnesota In March , 1894 , They were a mixed lot , coming 2 and 3 years of age. They then averaged 800 pounds. The ex-governor says these animals were fed a small ration of corn each day after their purchase until turned on liberal pasture , where they ran with out grain until the following fall or lafct winter , when they wcr again fed mixed feed of hay , straw and corn fodder with a limited amount of corn during the last month or six weeks. The 1st of lam Septem ber he commenced feeding corn fotld.-r In limited supply while- the animals were still on pasture. About the middle of September he commenced snapping corn , running It through a corn crueller and feeding the cattle what they would eat , they still being on pas ture , This theexgovernor continued until the ICth of October , when the animals were taken into tha yards and fed on crushed corn until sold. They wire In full feed about sixty days , thirty of which were In the pas ture and thirty In theyards. . In other wordn , the ex-governor took care of his steera and fed them just about an any other nl l" would feed utecrg. Hoyden Bros. ' ajl. U on page 9.

T.'io electric arc light , with Its Intense steady brilliancy , bays the Literary Digest , Is now so famllhr an object that few stop to think how wonderful a thing It really Is Here is light enough to Illumine many square yards nearly ns well as diylight docs , pro ceeding from the points of two little cirbon lods as largo ns one's finger. What Is the state of the carbon In tint small t pot ? Prof. S P. Thompson , In n recent Cantor lecture before the Scc'ety of Arts In London , tells us that It has actmlly melted there , something that was until recently thought Impossible. Moreover , he says that when the light hls'es the liquid carbon U really boiling. The facts that lead him to thetc conclusion : . ! are quoted below from the report of his lectu-e that ap pears In Indiibtilcs and Iron : "Captain Abney had found the whits surface of the luminous crater to be always of an equal degree of whiteness , which obviously means that it Is always of an equal degree of temperature. The only thing that could ac count for there being a fixed temp ° ature for the cratci surface was the fact that caibon l * > at the surface in a stale of volatlll/atlon- that the carbon lo evaporat'ng ' off fiom the positive carbon Into the arc 01 name At that surface jou necessarily must have the tem- peratuie at which carbon evapoiates , Just as you cannot luve the surface cf Ices under or dlnary conditions either hotter or colder than the temperature which Is taken as iero of the Centigrade cale. My present view of the ; physical state of the arc ciatcr Is that the solid carbon bslovv Is covered with a layei 01 film of liquid carbon , just boiling or evaporat ing off. "When hlpslng takes place , a new state of things Is sot up. If you watch n short , \i\ss \ \ Ing arc , you will se ° a column of light con centntlng Itself on a narrow spot , and the spot keeps moving about , and Is very un stable In position as well as In the amount of light it gives , out. The contracted spot fiom which light seems to start pits deeper Into the caibon. Mrs. Ayrton made the ob ° erva- tlon that the crater siirfac- , after the aie has been hissing , Is found to bo literally honey combed. When the arc Is hissing- you can sec little bit' erupted out , nnd the hissing seems to bo comparable to the hlft'lng which takes place in water just when It Is beginning to boll. If you have tome water being heated In such a way that there Is not more than n certain quantity of heat given off from the surface , you have the water evaporating quietly , but you cannot get more than a cer tain quantity of heat given off per square inch nf top sm face of the water in that quiet way- It you force mora than a ceitaln quantity of heat to pass off per top square Inch of the water , you find the water bcglnit to break up inUinally , and you have bubbles foimed below the surface ; the nurfnee breaks up , the bubbles are thrown out , nnd you have a nolby phenomenon. I think 011 will find there Is exactly the same kind of dlffoience between the blient arc and the hiding arc , ns bctwcei. quiet evaporation and noisy boiling. Theic Is a sort nf decrepitation , au the solid par ticles were being toin asunder to make way for something coming out , when the arc Is hissing.
