" Jef Joslyn , In New York Journal. "THE TYPICAL AMERICAN. " TIic lutcrcstiii-x Subject DIciiKhcd in a Lecture by tlic ICcv. Dr. Newman. Omaha Republican. The lecture by the Rev. Dr. Newman at the Congregational church was lis tened to by a good sized audience. His subject , which was "The Typical American , " was well defined and splen didly presented , his ideas all being beautifully illustrated and his language rich and exactwhile the entire discourse could have been understood by the merest school child. The statement that "selfishness'un derlies all energy. " was backed by strong statements of facts going to prove in this case that emigration was , to a large extent , and the greater portion was , all the prompting of selfish mo tives , which was not disapproved by tiie lecturer unless carried to extremes. With the general character of the emi gration llowing into this country , he had no reason to iind fault , when age , intelligence , physical wealth and worth were considered. . .The speaker welcomed the foreigner , because our country was established by foreigners ; because , by the framers o this government , the foreigner was wel comed , and , by the form of our govern ment , we were on record as the friend of the foreigner and thereby committed ourselves to him ; but while the foreigner was welcome , he had a duty to perform which devolved upon him as soon as his foot touched our soil , which duty waste to adopt the American idea , to live for the government as he would that the government should live for him. Speaking of the typical American the speaker said there were seven attributes which characterized him. 1. That he lived and acted with the sole and only idea that this is a govern ment of the people , for the people and by the people. After a short discussion , the speaker said that in framing the constitution of the United States , the fathers had exhausted the right of revo lution. "We might have insurrections . and rebellions but an amendment to the fundamental law of this country would work any revolution which the people might demand. 2. That this government is not main tained by physical but by moral force. He cited the facts that , though our gov ernment contained over 50,000,000 people ple , we are governed by an army of less than 25,000 armed men and by a navy that is the laughing stock of the world not a gattling gun , but a clear conscience and a developed brain for the American. 3. That , out of the citizen , the nation must grow. Hence it is not only nec essary to educate but to morally edu cate all classes ; and he loudly disap proved taking the bible from the school I room. 4. That there is 10 such thing as union of church and' state. As Franklin said , the state is not ir religious , but non-religious. The speak er deplored the idea which prompted the Roman priests and others in au thority in that church. While he would protect the rights as a church to the last , yet , they are too bold in regard to the matter of the church being above the state. G That the Sabbath is peculiarl } an American institution. That honest toil for six days and a consecration of the seventh should be the watchward of the people , and inasmuch as our nation must stand on its intelligence and morals , that no less could be asked. 7 That it is not so much as to how long the nation would last as to what is its mission , China , with its 4,000 years. England with her 1,000 , and the United States with her 100 , was a fair illustra tion of his idea. Every nation on the face of the earth , as fast as a change was made , modeled after the United States , Under the stars and stripes the three sons of Noah looked each other in the face , and from above their father viewed them , while all at once could say : "We are free to think , free to act , and free to speak. " A Wonderful Resurrection. New Yor.i Sun. Jn the London Lancet , of September Cth , is recorded a case of resuscitation after apparent death by hanging , so re markable as to be worth } * of notice and discussion outside of purely professional circles. The case is reported by Dr. Ernest W. White , senior assistant medical officer to the Kent lunatic asylum at Chart- ham , near Canterbury. The patient was a woman , 53 years old , afflicted with that form of insanity known as melancholia. She had tried to kill her self before admission into the asylum , and made several attempts to take her life after being received into the insti tution. Finally she succeeded in escap ing the watchfulness of the attendants who had frustrated her previous efforts at self-destruction , and hid herself in a V bathroom , where she was found hang ing to a ladder by a cord formed of portions of * her dress , eight minutes after she had been seen alive by auothei patient. When cut down she was apparently quite dead. Animation was so com pletely suspended that there was nc symptom which enabled the medical men present to distinguish her condition from that of real death. This is the raarkable feature of the case. So far as the doctors could sec the woman was dead. The skin was ashy pale , the sur face temperature very low , the lips were livid and the eyes dilated and insensi ble to the action of light ; there was no pulse at the wrist or temples ; no defi nite heart beat could be detected even by the stethoscope ; respiration had ab solutely ceased , and unconsciousness was complete. Even the application oi galvanism failed to contract the mus cles. If the woman had been a crimi nal who had suffered the extreme penal ty of the law the physicians would doubtless have been justified by the symptoms in pronouncing her dead ; yet she is alive to-day , and not only well physically but fast recovering from all mental derangement. Dr. White and his assistants wisely refused to act upon appearances. They gave their patient the benefit of the doubt in their minds , although that doubt was very slight. Resort was had to artificial respiration according to what is known in medicine as the Sil vester method. The movements were performed slowly only ten times a minute but about ten minutes after they were begun an exceedingly feeble attempt at natural respiration was noted , and very weak pulsations of the heart were perceived by the aid of the stethoscope. Ten minutes is a long time to wait for the first signs of return ing life , and it is to be feared that in many cases of apparent death , espe cially by drowning , the measures neces sary for resuscitation are not continued long enough to rekindle the smoldering spark of life that remains in the body. There can hardly be too much patience or perseverance. In this case artificial respiration was steadily maintained for two hours before the natural breathing was sufficiently established to dispense with assistance in this way. If it had been abandoned earlier the woman would probably have died , notwith standing her partial restoration to sen sibility. We need not follow the treatment in detail. The patient became perfectly conscious about eleven hours after the act of strangulation , and in the course of a fortnight was in good bodily health. She lost her melancholy illusions and became cheerful , looking back at her attempt at suicide with horror. For two days from the time of hanging , however , her memory was a complete blank. This extraordinary case is interesting in several aspects. The complete sim ulation of death suggests a possibility that physicians may sometimes them selves 'be deceived" to the fact of death , especially careless practitioners or those of comparativelj1- limited infer mation. We have already referred to the lesson which it teaches of the need of steadfast and hopeful perseverance in efforts to restore those who have apparently lost their lives by strangu lation or drowning. It would appear that artificial respiration is more useful and effective when the movements are performed slowly than when they exceed ten a minute. This is an impor tant point for those to remember who are called upon to render first aid to the injured. Finally , this remarkable occurence may well lead to speculation as to the many stories which have been published of the restoration to life of men who have apparently suffered death by hanging on the gallows. It is probable that fully seven min utes had elapsed between the moment of the act of suspension and the time when the women was cut down. Who 3an say that similar measures might not have brought about a resusciation if she had been hanging twice as long ? A.nd might not a strong man possess Lhe potential ability to recover , with like assistance , from the effects of stran gulation lasting half an hour ? Who 3an now assert , with confidence , that a 3onvict with a neck unbroken cut down ifter hanging thirty minuts , and turned jver to friends having all the resources af modern medical science at command , might not be called back to existence in this world ? Such an event is improbable enough , ive know ; but we do not see how it can be pronounced physically impossible , in view of the facts to which we have Irawn attention. Patience Greater Than Job's. I suppose Job's patience was - wonderful ful for a man ; but it was nothing to that of women. What would Job have done had he been compelled to sit in the house and sew , and knit ? , and nurse the children , and see that hundreds of different things were attended to during the day , and hear children cry , and fret , and complain ? Or how would he have stood it if , like some poor woman , ho had been obliged to rear a family of ten or twelve children without any help , spending months , years all the prime ol life in washing , scouring , scrubbing , mending , cooking , and nursing children ; fastened to the house and his offspring from morning till night , and from night till morning ; sick or well , in storm or sunshine , his nights often rendered mis erable by watching over his children ? How could he have stood all this , and in addition to all other troubles the curses and even violence of a drunken com panion ? He would soon have tired of unrewarded labor and undeserved blame. For , after all , though Job endured his boils and losses very well for a short time , they did not endure long enough to test the strength of his patience. Woman tests her patience by a whole life of trials , and she does not grumble at her burdens. We are honestly of the opinion that woman has more patience than Job ; and instead of saying , * ' The patience of Job , " we should say , " The patience of woman. " Exchange.

In 1572 a magnificent star of the firsl magnitude suddenly appeared , effacing by its brilliancy the moat beautifiil atan in the sky. It remained for eighteei months and disappeared. Astrologers said that this appearance was the same as that to the magi at th ( birth of Jesus Christ , and conclndet from it that the last judgment was near. Tliirty-two years later another new stai appeared. From the day of its appear ance , the 10th of October , 1604 , accord ing to Arago , it was white ; it surpassed stars of the first magnitude in bright ness , also Mars , Jupiter , and Saturn , which were near it. Many compared ii to Venus. Those who had seen the stai in 1572 found that the new one exceeded Venus in brightness. It did not appeal to become fainter in the second half o ) the mouth of October ; on the 9th ol November the twilight which effaced Jupiter did not prevent this star from being visible. On the IGth of Novem ber Kepler perceived it for the last time , but at Turin , when it appeared in the east , at the end of December and at the beginning of January , its light was fainter. On the 20th of March , 1605 , it was smaller in appearance than Saturn , but it exceeded in brightness the stars of the third magnitude. On the 21st ol April it seemed eqiial to the shining star of the third magnitude. It diminished imperceptibly ; on the 8th of October it was still seen , but with difficulty on ac count of the twilight. In March , 1606 , it had become completely invisible. These appearances , like all extraordi nary phenomena , excited terror and awakened ideas , not to be stifled , of the conflagration of the world , the fall of the stars , and the end of time. One of the most memorable predictions is that of 1588 , announced in emphatic Latin verse , of which the following is a trans lation : After 1,500 years , dating from the concep tion of the Virgin , this eighty-eighth year will be strange and full of dread ; it will bring with it sad destinies. If , in this terrible year , the perverbo world does not fall into dust , if the earth and seas are not annihilated , all the em pires of the world will be overthrown , and af- lliction will oppress the human , race. This prediction was later renewed in favor or disfavor of the seventeenth cent ury , and the Mcrcure de Franco an nounced the greatest revolution for the year 1788. It then passed for having been found in the tomb of Begiomon- tauus. Authors did not think how right they were to describe this memorable epoch under the title of revolution. But while considering these predic tions , the list of which would be longer than at first imagined , we cannot help relating the curious mystifications worked in 1524 by the German astrolo ger Stofiler. According to him , on the 20th of February of that year , the con junction of the planets must produce a universal deluge. Astrologers gave faith to it like the common herd ; the sinister news soon traversed the world , and they prepared themselves to see the universe pass from time into eternity. "All the provinces of Gaul"says an au thor of that period , "were in strange fright and doubt of a universal inunda tion , and such that our fathers had not seen , or was known by historians or others , by means of which men and women were in great fear. And many removed from their low dwelling-places and found higher spots , and made pro vision of meal and other matters , and had processions and general and public prayers , that it might please God to have pity on His people. " Fear seized on a great many minds. Those who lived near the sea or rivers left their abodes , and sold , at immense losses , doubtless to unbelievers , their properties and goods. At Toulouse , another Noah constructed a ship to serve as an ark to his family and friends , and probably , also , to a few couples of ani mals. This was not the only case. Ac cording to the account of the historian Bodin , " There were many infidels who made arks to save themselves , although God's promise and oath , never again to drown man by a deluge , was preached to them. " Many and many a time the prediction was given out , and it always found the same number of believers , al though each time the event gave it a positive denial. In 1584 the fear caused by an announcement of this kind was so great that the churches were unable to contain those who sought refuge in them. A great number made their wills without reflecting that it was useless if all the world was to perish ; and others gave their goods to the priests , in the hope that their prayers would delay this day of judgment. SMALLER PARAGRAPHS. The old question of a speedier means > f official killing than the blade or the loose is again discussed in England. Fhe Lancet not only thinks that de- japitation does not cause instant death , ind that hanging is torturingly slow , jut that neither prussic acid nor elec- ; ricity would be quick enough in fatal jffect. Higher literary circles in London are nuch amused by the controversy be tween Herbert Spencer and Fred- jrick Harrison. The latter de- lies the originality of Spencer's of and describes > ystem philosophy , scribes it as drawn from Comte. It is singular to observe that a philosopher ) f Spencer's standing declares himself gnorant of Comte. A western paper recently made ex- juses for the shortcomings of a particu- ar issue by claiming that a part of its 'editorial " ab corpse" was necessarily sent. The mistake was pointed out by i friend and the next week the follow- ng appeared : "The error was simply i typographical one. Of course anyone ivith a spoonful of brains would know ; hat we meant 'editorial core. ' " A party or artists who have been trav- jling in Alaska declare the Greek jhurch at Sitka to be the most beautiful louse of worship in America. It is milt on the plan of a Greek cross , and lie interior is a mass of gold and silver > f the magnificence of which a writer says he can give no idea. The walls ire hung with pictures of royalty and : he priesthood , sent by a Russian prin- ; ess who took this temple under her patronage. "Snack , " the luncheon that colored 'aunties" in Virginia sell through car vindows while the train is stopping at i station , is thus described : "A non- lescript looking package of meat , cake ind bread tied together with , strings of red , white and blue jtirn.gn The meal portion was a half of a chicken fried in Hour. Then there was a number oi pieces of fried wheat bread , a generous slice of cold hoe cake and a large piece of plain cake. " B'ood heat is set down on a Faharn- licit thermometer at ninety-eight de grees , but more careful investigation has shown that the temperature of a healthy person is between 102 and 103. One-half a degree either way indicates an abnormal condition , while one de gree below would make a doctor shake his head ominously. When a fevei sends the temperature up to 106 or 107 it depends entirely on the amount ol fuel on hand how long the fire will con tinue to burn. The largest dredging machine in the world has been iinisned and will be used on the Sacramento and San Joaquin swamp lauds in California. It has been named Thor , and modeled after the best dredges now in use on the Isthmus canal , cutting out a channel and build ing a levee at the same time. The Thor is 101 feet long and 61 feet wide , and has 34 iron buckets , with a capacity of one and a half cubic yards each , which can be filled and emptied four teen times per minute. A Wonderful Cup. Baron Charles de Rothschild , ol Frankfort-on-the-Main , purchased , not long ago , for the enormous sum of 800,000 francs ( $160,000) ) a silver-gilt cup by the celebrated Jammitzer , which is said to be a marvelous work of art. This sum , according to the Chronigue des Aries , is , as far as it knows , the largest price ever paid in modern times for a single object of art. The work is the center piece of a table service. The foot is composed of a rock entirely cov ered with grasses and field flowers , on which desport themselves beetles , little lizards , locusts and snails. From this rises the figure of a woman , emblemat izing the earth , and bending in eloquent pose as she supports on her head and her hands a tall chalice , decorated Avith grotesques and topped by a cover , which terminates in a vase in the form of a baluster , from which springs a bunch of leaves and flowers. The silver gilt of which the cup is made has ornaments in opaque and translucent enamels. The goldsraithery of the sixteenth century is said to offer nothing more finished in execution , and which , though open to criticism , possibly forms the standpoints both of taste and style , has its weak nesses counterbalanced by the wonder ful perfection of all its details. The story of Baron Rothschild's ac quisition of the work is quite curious. It formed part of the estate of the late Nuremberg banker , Merkel , who died in 1873 , and whoso heirs , by common ac cord , agreed to loan it , together -with Albert Durer's portrait of Holchucher , to the German Museum at Nuremberg , of which Jammitzer's chef d'anivrc be came one of the greatest treasures. In deed the public , during the years it was on exhibition , thought it belonged to the museum. It was so arranged that the work could not be taken avray with out-joint consent of the heirs and a Min isterial authorization. Some months ago the celebrated art work disappeared from the galleries , to the great astonish ment and consternation of the Nurem- bergers and the country in general. After a while it leaked out that a Frank fort dealer in art objects , the agent of Baron Rothschild , had appeared with the necessary papers from the family and the Director of the Museum .had been obliged to deliver to him the cup. The whole affair was conducted -with great secrecy , and it is certain that had it been knovm that the object was for sale the Directors of the Nuremberg Museum , as well as many oth ers , would have competed with the pres ent purchaser for its possession. A Merry Heart. "I'd rather be poor and merry , " says a writer , "than inherit the wealth of the Indies with a discontented spirit. ' A merry heart , a cheerful spirit , from which laughter wells up as naturally as bubble the springs of Saratoga , are worth all the money-bags and mortgages in the city. The man who laughs is n doc tor with a diploma indorsed by the s-jhool of nature ; his face does more good in a sick-room than a pound of pow ders or a gallon of bitter draughts. If things go right he laughs because he is pleased ; if they go wrong he laughs be cause it is better and cheaper than cry ing. People are always glad to see him , and their hands instinctively go half way to meet his grasp , wliile they turn involuntarily from the clammy dyspep tic who speaks on the groaning. He laughs you out of your faults , while you never dream of being offended with him , and you never know what a pleasant world you.are living in until he points out the sunny streaks on its pathway. Who can help loving the whole-souled , genial laugher ? Not the buffoon , nor the man who classes noise with niirth , but the cheery , contented man of sense and mind ! A good-natured laugh is the key to all breasts. The truth is that the people like to be laughed at in a genial sort of way. If you are making yourself ridiculous you want to be told of it in a pleasing manner , not sneered at. And it is astonishing how frankly the laughing population can talk without treading on the toes of their neighbors. Why will the people put on long faces , when it is so much easier and pleasanter to laugh ? Tears come to us unsought and unbidden. The wisest art in life is to cultivate smiles , and to find the flowers where others shrink away for fear of thorns. Good Imperishable. Says a recent writer : "I remember , not long ago , seeing some larkspur and lady'B slipper in the midst of a sterile- looking field. Upon inquiring how these garden flowers came there , I heard that many years ago there was an old house there , but it had been gone more than sixty years. Yet , notwithstanding that field had been reaped and sowed , plowed and postured , season after season , for so many years , these simple little flowers lived on , a memento of innocent child hood , blooming out of the most squalid poverty. Evil has the same immortal ity. H the children's hands had sown thistles , they would have remained as long. _ as Food. Eggs arc an article of cheap and nu tritious food which wo do not find oi farmers' tables in the quantity economy demands. They are very convenient t < take to market , and this is the tlLspo sition which too many farmers make o : them. They probably do not fully com prehend how valuable eggs arc as food that , like milk , an egg is o coinplch food in itself , containing everything necessary for the development of a per feet animal , as is manifest from the facl that a chick is formed from it. It uconii a mystery how muscles , bones , feathers , and everything that a chick requires fo ] its perfect development are made from the yolk and white of an egg ; but sucl is the fact , and it shows how complete i food an egg is. It is also easily digest ed , if not damaged in cooking. A ravi or soft-boiled egg is always as easily as < similated as is milk , and can be catci with impunity by children mid invtdids , The average egg weighs a thousanc" grains , and is worth more as food thai : so much beefsteak. Indeed there is nc more concentrated and nourishing foot than eggs. The albumen , oil and saline matter are , as in milk , in the right pro portion for sustaining animal life. Wliei : eggs bring no more than 20 cent. per dozen , it is much better economy tc find a market for them in the family than at the store. Two or three boiled eggs , with the addition of a slice or hvc of toast , will make a breakfast sufficient for a man and good enough for a King. An ordinary hen's egg weighs from out and a half to two ounces , a duck's eg from two to three ounces , the egg of n sea-gull and the turkey from three tc four ounces , and the egg of a goose from four to six ounces. The solid mattei and the oil in the duck's egg exceed those in a hen's egg by about one-fourth. According to Dr. Edward Smith , in his treatise on "Food' ' , "an egg weighing an ounce and three-quarters consists oi 120 grains of carbon and 18J grains ol uitrocren , or 15.25 per cent , of carbon " and 2"U.L nitrogen. A writer in the iS'cv- entijlc Farmer estimates that the value of one pound of eggs , as food for sus taining the active forces of the body , is to the value of one pound of lean beef as 1,584 is to 900. As a flesh producer one pound of eggs is about equal to one pound of beef. A hen may be calcu lated to consume one bushel of corn yearly , and to lay ten dozen , or fifteen pounds of eggs. This is equivalent to saying that three and one-tenth pounds of corn will produce , when fed to a lion , five-sixths of a pound of eggs. But live- sixths of a pound of pork requires about five pounds of corn for its production. When eggs are one shilling per dozen and pork five-pence per pound we have a bushel of corn fed , producing ten shill ings' worth of eggs and four shillings , worth of pork. Judging from these facts eggs must be economical in their production and in their eating , and es pecially fit for the laboring man in re placing meat. Provisioncr. The Woman of the Future. The Long Branch correspondent oi the Albany Journal writes : There are two facts which strike one with immense force this season on first arriving at the most popular of our watering place and these are : First , the number ol tall , well-grown young women that the present age has developed ; and , second , the size of hats they wear. Usually they are fair as well as large , and they look like a revival of the Scandinavian goddesses as if all at once our earth was being peopled again by mighty Brunhelds and lovely Sidurthas instead of the slim , sallow type we have been accustomed to associate with the born American. The immense hats , which have wide , indented or turned-up brims , enhance this blooming style of beauty , and ren ders it all the more conspicuous. A lit tle more of dignity , a little more of re pose , and they could quite icalize the poet's ideal of daughters of the gods divinely tall and most divinely fair. But their too abrupt movements and the loud talking the silly talking and "tit tering" in which nearly all the girls in dulge destroy the illusion. These young women come from good , well-to- do families ; they are the representatives of the present , and particularly of the incoming generation of the women of America , and as such are to be congrat ulated on being a great improvement , physically , on those that have gone be fore them. Their fine development speaks well for what improved methods more air. better and more nutritious food , and more intelligent aims are do ing for them. No more slate pencils , no more theories in regard to food , no more moonlight reveries and morbid longings the healthy modern girl is the most practical , the most unromantic of mor tals , and her dinner is as important a fact to her as it is to any Alderman on Lord Mayor's day. She is not ashamed to eat , and she shows the results of good living and exercise , both of mind and body. From such young women as these in the present day it is easy to tell what the women of the futiu'e will be perfect realizations of the ideals of the poets and romancers no mere bundle of nerves , but gorgeous creatures , capa ble of ruling the kingdom that is pre paring for them. Productive Dakota. St. Paul Herald. "Speakin' of productive soil , " said the man from Dakota , "the half has never been told. A few weeks ago my wife said : 'Why , John , I b'lieve you've took to growiii' agin. ' I measured my self , an' I hope Gabriel'll miss me at the final roundup if I hadn't grown six inches in two weeks.
