One of the victims of tlie Atlantic City-meadows railroad-horror is Fran cis A. Morrell, who lives withi his fath er at Bast Orange, N. J. lie is 35 years old, unmarried, and was, prior to the accident, connected with the law office of his brother-in-law, George Clymer, in Ifewark. The remarkable feature of the case is the fact that, while slowly returning* to his normal physical condition, his mental .condition--is such thiat be re calls nothing of .the accidesit. When spoken to upon the subject of the collision lie denies any recollection of it, or that he was in it, and attributes the pain in his head to neuralgia. He was taken out of the wreck at a point almost under one of the locomo tives. He reads the newspapers, en ters earnestly and intelligently' auto a, conversation, and seems as clear-mind ed as axxY one else, except oil j&ie sofb ject of the accident When Morrell was taken to Atlantic City Sanitarium after the accident it was found' that be was practically scalped on the left side of his head, his ear was torn off with the scalp, atnd the ,skin from the left side of his face almost around to the point of his jaw. Hi® left shoulder blade -was badly fractured and the bones of his shoulder wem broken. His left arm was badly injured, his legs were a mass of bruised and lacerated flesh, and he was crushed about the Ifrwer -part of the trunk of his body so badly as to cause severe internal injuries, which make hia restoration -to almost normal physical condition little short of marvelous. His external wounds are nearly all healed, except where his ear was torn. Owing to the remarkable recovery from his physical wounds, the doctors now. entertain the hope that what is now a blank to ihim may return to his memory and his recovery be complete. His conversation with members of the family is often sfharp and bright. In 'many instances, however, the in tervention of a few hours 'time will apparently obliterate from his memory all.trace of the conversation, and he will deny that it took place or that certain things were done. On the other hand, matters which it was not be lieved he could well remember he re called with ease, two, three, or four days after their, occurrence. In fact, he understands and talks well about everything except the accident and anything pertaining to it, and while he listens with interest to anything said about it, he declares earnestly that he knows nothing of it, and that it never happened, in spite of his fright ful tell-tale injuries.—Philadelphia Tel egraph. A SHELL IN THE SHOVEL. 'PIUS. Short Story of the Civil War Told toy an Old Soldier. "Whenever. I see a pile of shovels stacked upon the sidewalk in front of a hard ware store," said an old sol dier, "it makes me think of a pile of shovels I saw once stacked up at the end of a traverse in an earthwork at the time -of the civil war. There were siege guns and mortara of one size and another in batteries scattered along these works—in the particular battery that I speak of there were two 100-pound rilled gums. There was a traverse between the two guns, and one on the outer side of each, a trav erse, you understand, being a short ridge of eoirth running back from the line in front, and at right angles with lit ,to protect the gun and the gunners from a lateral fire. This pile of shovels lay at the end of one of the outer teav 'erses, to the left of the-piece that I worked on. There were six or eight men on the gun. "A shell that came .over from a Con federate mortar battery dropped square on that pile of shovels and ex ploded the instant it struck. Our own gun bad just been fired, and the men were all standing scattered around, to the rear of the gun carriage, none of them far away from the shovel pile, and all of them right in open range, not protected, as some of them, any way, would have been a minute earlier by standing over on the other side of the gun, and the gun and the gun car riage between them and the shovels. "The air was tilled with smoke, and fragments and splinters of shell and shovels were flying in all directions. There wasn't a man but what expected to have his head knocked off by a piece of shell, oir to be cut in two by a shovel blade, or at least to have the handle of a shovel stuck through him. But the fragments of shell jail flew past, the shovels all came d^wn, and the smoke cleared away, and nobody, had even a scratch. Then the men ail laughed and went to loading the 100 pounder again." Venus' Long Day. If the observers Flagstaff are right in their conclusions that Mer cury and Venus make but one revolu tion on their axis during, their journey round the sun, so thiat each day is a year long, these planets cannot be in habited by people constituted like those on the earth. It has been supposed that Venus at least was very similar to the earth in its phenomena and characteristics, and might be peopled by much of the same kind of beings but as Venus' period of rotation is nearly the same as that of the earth it must have six months of uninter rupted sunshine and six of continuous night—conditions whidh, in the case of the moon, have b.een accepted as imply ing unbearable heat during the day and unendurable cold during the night. The Flagstaff observers have the best opportunity for Observing this difficult planet that has yet been given to as tronomers, and their conclusions are, therefore, most likely to be correct but it may be noted that Schroter and the two Cassinis have all calculated its revolution to be accomplished in about twenty-three hours and twenty ome minutes. The phenomena on which their calculations are based, •however, were confessedly few and un certain, and if they were incorrectly, traced the conclusions drawn from them are necessarily worthless.—Phila delphia Ledger.

We ate In the midst of an exiting political campaign the great cities are stirred by monster demonstrations. The great orators hold forth every night in halls, wigwams, and tents. Po litical leaders are busy, figuring out the result in advance of the election. Thou sands of men in the eifcfploy of the na tional committees are- ascertaining1 as near as possible how each .oity ward, how- each branch of organized, labpr, how. each city will vote. One thing n® man, no set of merij no' campaign com mittee, no political party can-tell in a'dvance, that is, how the farmers of the country will vote. The one great question to-day is: How do the farm ers feel about it? We mention this only to illustrate a point in practical business matters. Agricultural workers are learning their power in politics. They can make or unmake state legislatures. They do it by imitating the methods- of labor in cities, by working together. They do not need local unions. They can tb-ork in our grand intellectual union for their common good. They have done it in demanding legislation. They are doing it now in a way that makes leaders tremble. They will act more intelligently and united in the future. They -find other things, than politics -to call for their decision.: They produce what the world needs. ,TH,ey are study ing new methods of'giving'the fruit of their labors to the world. -Recently an army of 100,000 men marched through Chicago's streets celebrating the twen ty-fifth anniversary of the great fire. The farmers have for years fed a much greater army not only fed, but made rich, presented with grain elevators, private banks, fine houses, costly lux uries. the old-time, ever-present army of middlemen. But there is a revolt against dividing profits with this army between the farm and the world's big markets. This independent action began with this pioneer farmer's commission house. It is assuming proportions which make the easy money-makers (professional shippers) at the stations over a dozen states tributary to Chicago tremble. The question: "What are the farmers going to do bothers not politicians alone, but all those who have been getting something for nothing. Farm ers are going to ship their own grain —not a few or a hundred, but. an army of thousands. They know how, they have tried it,. it pays. That is one question answered by farmers! Se'e what a few farmers say who have tried shipping: Rock Valley, Iowa Sept. 29, 1896.— Messrs. H. H.

It May Be Superseded by One of Llsrbter Color. It would apppear from one of our trade organs that tailors are becoming & little anxious about the prospects of the black coat of civilization, They fear it is in danger of being supersed ed by a garment of lighter "hue, if not of variegated pattern. ^Perhaps, .if they were to give, .Voice .fo» the deepet apprehensions, tthejr would say that there was more at S^ake than the black coat. There can, at' any rate, be little doubt, whether the tailors are willing to admit it or not, that-'with, the fate of* the black coat is bound up that of the black waistcoat. Whether the two have been lovely and pleasant in their lives is a matter of opinion, but we feel sure that in death they would not be divided. We mean no disrespect to the vest in describing it as a parasite of the coat. It is an humble dependent, which has only found its way into so ciety under -the wing of its influential patron, to whom it adheres with a sin gle-breasted fidelity rewarded on the other side by an attachment which is rarely broken save for a short period during the summer months. The trousers, it is true, are connected with' the upper garments by no such feudal tie but their own opinion is complete, and, except in very hot weather, indossuluble. Hence, the far sighted tailors no doubt perceive clear ly enough that if the black coat goes we shall be within measurable dis tance of the "tweed suit" Nor are there wanting those 'who would do their best to accelerate the catastro phe. Animated by the restless spirit of the age, its impatience of sobriety and its thirst for change and color in cos tume, as in life, there is a school of so-called reformers who are endeavor ing to urge the wearers of black coats to revolt. Let them give free play, ex plain their anarchistic.counselors, to "their taste, in checks and stripes," and they will be able to cut afar more picturesque figure at a far smaller an nual outlay. With the outlay, of course, the public is not concerned, though that matter, doubtless, is not without its interest for the tailors but we own to some uneasiness at the idea of the entire community indulging its multifarious taste in checks and stripes in a headlong pursuit of the picturesque. ,We have all of us, indeed, seen the experiment tried under very favorable circumstances, but with little more than dubious results, by tbese little bands of vocal and'1 instrumental art ists, generally six or eight in number, who are usually to be met with at race meetings or on the sands of popular seaside resorts at this time of the yeaj.. These pioneers of dress reform have entirely discarded the black coat, preferring one of gayer color, with no ticeable-elongated tails, and the free dom with which they indulge their taste in checks and stripes may almost be said to border upon license. Yet the effect, even with the addition of an open shirt collar of Elizabethan pro portions, a corked face ..and a banjo, cannot be described as entirely pictur esque.—London Telegraph. MASTER OP THE! WHIP. Tlie Performances of an Artist in the Whiplash Line. An. Austro-Hungarian named Piski slug has created a sensation in Vienna toy his wonderful performances with the whip. The first thing he does is to take a long-lashed, stout-handled whip in each hand, and, with orchestral ac companiment, proceed to crack or snap them at a terrific rate. The sound made by his whips in this manner is graduated from a noise like a rifle re port to the soft click of a billiard ball. It makes a curio U9 sort of music, and serves to show low he can regulate the force of each, stroke. More inter est is evinced when he seizes a vicicus looking whip with an abnormally long lash. It is provided with a very heavy handle of medium length.- This is his favorite toy, and what he can do with it is leally wonderful. He first gives the idea of what fearful force may lie- in a whiplash in the hands of an expert A large frame, over which is stretched a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the stage. This is marked with dots of red paint. The man with the whip steps up, and, swinging the lash around his head, lets fly at the eaif skin. With every blow he actual ly pulls a piece out of the leather, leav ing a clean-cut hole. These pieces are distributed among the audience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. After this he takes a frame,with three shelves. On these there are a dozen or more of medium sized apples lying very close together and provided with large numbers. Any one in the audience may desig nate which apple he wishes struck, and the unerring lash snatches it out like a flash. A still more difficult feat is the snapping of coins from a nar row-necked bottle. A piece of silver about the size of a half-crown is put over the cork of a bottle, which stands on the edge of a. table. The whip art ist, without appearing to take any sort of aim,' sends the' long lash Whizzing through the air and picks oft the coin without jarring the bottle, much less breaking it—London Tid-Bits. The Coflee-EatiAg Habit. The coffee-eating habit is on the in crease, and it is probably the worst that can be found, says a well-known physician. Coffee, when boiled and taken as a beverage, is not only unin jurious. but beneficial, unless taken in very gEeat quantity, but when eaten as roasted is productive of a' train of ills that finally result in complete physical and mental prostration. I have had a number of cases of the kind, and they are as difficult to cure as those arising from the ORium habit. The trouble is more prevalent among young girls than any one elese. They eat parched coffee without any definite object, just as they eat soapstone slate pencils, with much more disas trous results. The coffee-eater be comes weak and. emaciated, the com plexion is muddy and sallow, the appe tite poor, digestion ruined and nerves all unstrung.. Coffee will give a few minutes of exhileration, followed with great weakness. The victims nearly die when deprived of the accustomed stimulant.—Washington Star, A Big Difference.
