KisslnK in Church. WorBliippers at tho German Baptist Churuli on Fourteenth street, between First and Second avenues, were treated to a sen- sation yesterday morning. In tlio middle of the service a tall, slender, sallow-faced man of about 30 years rose in a pew in the centre aisle, clasiierl a young lady who sat next him by the waist, drew her face to his, and frantically embraced her. They were tho only occupants of that jiew. Other members uf the congregation looked on amazed and inactive. The young lady screamed, but tho man, not relaxing his grasp in the least, sent forth a succession of earsplilting shouts. The pastor, Uev. G. A. Bchulte, who had suspended his sermon at tho first outcry, left the pulpit and came down tho aislu. When he tried to take the young man out of the pew he found he had a big contract on his bands. Others came to his assistance, and the lady was released. She immediately fainted from excitement and terror. The pastor walked tne youug man up and down the aisle, exhorting him in sooth- ing tones to calm himself. This treatment was unsuccessful, the man becoming more violent each moment. He was taken to tho Seventeenth precinct station house on a stretcher, but when he got there it took several policemen to hold him down. He was evidently dangerously insane, and was sent to Bellevue hospital, where the sur- geons consigntd him to a padded cell. Dr. Hchiilte, pastor of the church, says the young man has been a regular attend- ant there for several years. Ho is Cor- nelius Uondrickson, a clerk out of employ- ment, living w'th a relative at No. 138 Essex street. His mind has been affected for a number of years, softening of the brain having resulted from an old sick- ness. He was hitherto mild and harmless in his demeanor. Ho was from home all Christmas Day and attended the Christmas night service at tho church. Nothing out of the way was then observable in his con- duct. â€" New York Star. After They Found Out. A Detroiter who was driving out on the Holden road the other day came to a spot where the snow was badly drifted on each side of the track just as a woman driving a horse and " pung " entered tho other end f the cut. As tliey both held to the road their horses soon came head on and stopped. " Why didn't you turn out ?" shouted tho man. " Why didn't you ?" replied tho woman. " I've got seven miles to drive, but I'll stay here all winter before I'll turn out !" " And I've got five dozen eggs here, and I'll let them freeze as hard ns rocks before I'll give an inch !" The man dropped the lines, lighted a cigar and leaned back on liis seat. Tho woman dropped her lines, liglited her pipe and wrapired the old buffalo robo around her feet. Thus they sat for eight minutes, when tho man grew impatient and called : " What's tho price of hogs out your way ?" " Oh, you've got all the pork you want ill your sleigh," she repliecf. " I'm glad I'm a widower !" " And I'm glad I'm a widder !" " Eh ? Are you a widow ?" " Sartin, an(l I own 2'2.'> acres of tho beat land in Greenfield. 80 you are a â- widower '!" " Yefl'm. Madam, pray excuse me. I'll cheerfully turn out." " Oil, don't mention it. I'm perfectly willing to haul into the snowbank." " Ah ! mivdain, allow nie to hope that you will overlook myâ€" â€" " " Oh, certainly. Fine weather ut rather cold. Good-bye." " Good-bye madam. Wish you a' safe journey." â€" Detroit free Press.

EbiToiiiAi, writers in various parts of the country are making the mistake of calling the recent Clianeeller of the English Exchequer Lord Cliurch'll.

The much-vaunted Montreal slide is 1,000 feet long, the one at Saratoga 1,000 f'lot, while the Tuxedo slide is over -1,000 feet from top to bottom, and the tobogganers go down the mile in half a minute. One man has broken his leg on it, too. The dilliculty of sighting ritles in the dark in warfare has been ingeniously overcome by the use of luminous paint. A small luminous head ia clipi>ed on to the rifle over tho fore sight and another over the rear sight when used at night in reply to an enemy's fire, forming two luminous sights. Tho English War Oflico autl'.ori- ties have had some of ^1 esc bights under trial for the past six mouths, and have now given their first order for some. Not many years ago tho seeds of the cotton boll were thrown away. Now olive oil is made or it that the chemists cannot tell frjm the best Italiai' product, save by ilie freezing test. Oil cake is made from the refuse, and the husk is employed as fuel in the aljovo pro- cesses. Even til', ashes are made into the finest quality of toilet soap. If cotton isn't king, it is royally connected. It is high time to settle the year's out- standing accounts. Ho is a wise man who opens the new year free of debt.

If men would live within their incomes tho United States and the prisons would see fewer of despair- ing faces. TiiK usefulness of asphalt paper appears to be demonstrated by its constantly multi- plying applications. In thin sheets it is found aiiniirably adapted for wrapping silks or other fabrics that need protection from moisture, also for lining cases, packing boxes for pianos, etc., and, rolled up into pipes, for conveying water. Asphalt tubes are but one-fifth the weight of iron, will not rust, and are quite tough and strong ; they are simply sheets of paper of a peculiar quality dipped in molted asphalt and then rolled upon a cylinder. MxoAOAscAB, until quite recently a bar- barous country, whose dusky inhabitants displayed a taste for cannibalism and human saerifioes, is progressing with giant strides in the acquisition of what wo aro pleased to term civilization. Queen Ranavalo, having been given to understand that every resixjctable nation possesses a national debt, has just caused a Malagenc loan of 93,000,000 to be floated at Paris, mortgaging the Customs revenue of six of her principal ports as security for the pay- ment of tho interest. The French aro clever people, for it appears that of tho $3,000,000, «2,000,000 aro to bo handed over to M. Grovy's Government in payment of tho war inilemnity ; another half a million will probably bo retained by the Paris financiers as comniiasiou and exixsnsea in- cidental to tho issue of the loan, and tho National Treasury of Madagascar will obtain the balance â€" that is, if any remains. An intoi'osting account is given by Mr. Hicliards, superiiitondent of tho motive power of tho Boston & Providence Rail- road, of a visit made '^y him to tlio famous Krupp steel works at Essen. He saw a, 10-ton crucible steel casting being poured, and an enormous 70-ton steel casting being very gradually cooled, tho outside being warmed with coke fires until tho inside has partly solidified, when tho block is hammered into shape to form the main piece of an immense gun. The enormous array of furnaces in which tho crucibles are heated and the perfect manner in which such a large number of men â€" in some cases as many as HOO â€" all lift their 80-pouiid crucibles out of tho furnaces and pour them into tho mould in rapid succes- sion is described as a wonderful sight. The scrupulous care liestowed upon the minutest detail was a noticeable feature about tlioi! manipulation of steel. If, after extended trials, a certain practice or proportion of ingrediciits has been found to give the best results, that practice is absolutely and exactly adhered to, nothing in the whole range of tho vast operations of tho establishment boing left to mere possibilities.

A Gooil Story RevHiiiped. "A country parson," in encountering a storm the past season in the voyage across the Atlantic, was reminded of the follow- ing: A clergyman was so unfortuuatc as to Ix caught in a severe gale in tho voyage „..i. The water was exceedingly rough and the ship iwrsistently buried her nose in the sea. The rilling was constant, and at last the good man got thoroughly friglitencd. He believed they were destined for a •â- atery grave. He asked the captain if he could not have prayers. The captain took him by the arm and lo<l him down to the fore- castle, where tho tars were singing and swearing. 'â-  There," said he, " when you hear them swearing you may know there is no danger." Ho went back feeling better ; but the storm increased his alarm. Disconsolate and unassisted, ho managed to stagger to the forecastle again. The ancieut mariners were swearing as ever. " Mary," ho said, as ho crawled into his berth, to his sympa- thetic wife, after tacking acroas a wet deck, " Mary, thank God thry're nikrmg yrt." â€" Harper' J^laijaiine for January, Wanted Th«ni at the Old I'rire. .\ very aged man from the southern por- tion of tho county stepijed into the county clerk's ofHco on Saturday for the purpose of getting a license to marry forthosixth time in his checkered career.

A Kunawny Train on a Down tirade â€" Two Miles fer Minute. Win. Tillie, one of the men who were on board tho train which met with the recent thrilling accident on the Canadian Pacific Railway, gives a graphic account of the disaster. Station Fields is at tho bottom of Kicking Horse Pass grade. The track here ascends the mountain in a grade of fout and one-half feet to the hundred for eight miles. Hector Station is at the top of tho gv.ide. Tho steepest part of the grade is about '.wo miles from the top, where it is uii inch to a foot. Each train hag two engines, a aniall one going before and a large one behind. The large engine behind prevents any car becoming detached and rushing down the mountain side. As a further precaution there are, in the stot'iK^st part of tiie road, two miles apart, safety switches, wlii.h are loft oi>cn, so that should any cars break loose they run off on to the switch, which slo|K's gradually up in tho opposite direc- tion. It was fouiul necessary to divide t' u train, and tho sec<nd section, comixjsed of tho second-class car aud the baggage car, was being hauled to the top of tlie moun- tain when the coupling broke. There was no engine behind them and they went tearing down the mountain side at a fear- ful siieed that was constantly increasing. It was very early in the morning and not yet daylight. There were about twenty passengers in the car. " It went througli us like an electric shock," said Mr. Tillie, " when we felt that the train was de- tached, and every i>er8on on )x>ard sup- Sosed that his end had come. The con- uctor and brakemen in a second were at the brakes, but unfortunately fur us the air-brakes were frozen .stiff and tho other brakes would not catch. It is impossible to describe the scene. There was hanlly time to realize the awfulncss of the danger which threatened us. Fear seemed to freeze every pulse. There was not a single cry or shout or any expression of emotion. The pace was terrific. It was like a flash of lightning. I can compare it to nothing else. One or two tried to rise, but the speed was so great that they could not stir otT their seats. They seemed drawn lo the seats, as a piece of steel to a huge magnet. Only one voice was heard to whisjK'r, in a tone of absolute despair, "hang on," and each cluii),, to his seat as a drowning man clings to a straw. The cars were swaying from side to side with a motion that felt like that of a cradle. It seemed an age, but it was in reality not a minute, from the time that the cars broke loose till they reached the switch upon which we had lain all night. Two miles in one minute I When we reached the switch it was half closed by the snow. Our car ran off on tho switch, but the baggage car kept right on the main line. There was a • crack ! ' we felt ourselves in mid-air, and then we were lying stunned and wounded in a mass of debrit at the bottom of the hill among the rocks and stumps. It was not yet day- light, and darkness added to the horrors of our condition. The car was smashed to atoms." Every jxirson on board was more or less hurt, but only two died as a result of their injariea. The Carpet Worm. A correspondent of the Philadelphia 7'r«ii says : " Last year I noticed iuquirics innumerable for protection against the buffalo moth or carjxit worm. .Mthougli my neighbors have suffered from its invasion to tho extent of ruined carpets, clothing, etc., I have never, during my twenty years of house- keeping, had a moth of any description, and attribute my immunity entirely to the use of turpentine. After each of my car|x>ts is well swept, it is at once gone over with the following mix- ture : To three (juarts of pure, coKl water, add three tablesp<x)nfuls of turpentine. In this thoroughly saturate a sponge, B<iuceze about two-thirds dry, and go over each breadth separately and in all the corners. As soon as the water becomes soiled take a fresh supply. You will be surprised to see how beautifully it will clean vour carpets, besides being one of the best disinfectants. My father, an eminent physician, had this always practiced in his family, and we were never troubled with fevers any more than with moths." oioK^rrioN, I« It A»*i«ted by Chewing Gum and Sleep- Ins Art«r Healjl ? The physiology of digestion, says a writer in "Science," has been so thoroughly investigated of late years that it would seem that there could be very little oppor- tunity for differenco of opinion on most of its leading principles, and yet wo find that authorities aro on some points very much at variance. We are tola that nothing can be more prejudicial than the habit of chew- ing gum, supiKised to be so common among ho<il children. The salivary glands aro unnaturally excite<l, and ixjur forth bo much saliva in the act that when food is masticated they are not able to resjRijd as fully us is necessary for the proper insaliva- tion of the food. We are also informed that food should not be eaten just before retir- ing ; that thoroughly refreshing sleep re<juires perfect repose of all the organs, and that, if we go to sleep with a more or less full stomach, sleep will be disturbed and unsatisfactory. The authorities of Amherst College evidently do not agree with these views. In the instructions which they give to their students to guide them in their gymnastic exercisj-s, after sjiocifying the kind and amount of physical exercise, they recouimciid sleeping for half an hour after dii.ncr and supiwr.if jxissible, and if bleepless ut uight from brain work to eat a few graham crackers before retiring, to draw the excess of blood from the brain to tho stomach. In reference to the prac'iije of chewing gum. this statement is mau-*: Chewing gum daily before eating and between meals increases tho flow of saliva, ai.d so aids the digestion of fat mak- ing foods. It also directly stimulates the "ecretiau of tho digestive juices of the stot .ach. and It Wiwii't Tooth rowder. I] was told yesterday a rather amUBo story at the exiiense of Mark Twain- and the same story is already a standing joke in society. Not long ago the humorist was travelling in tho country, aud stopped one evening at a house presided over by an elderly woman. Ho was bIiowii to a room somewhat bare of ornament and furniture, yet slept until morning. When morning came and he rose he became mindful of the fact that, although he bad provided himself with a tooth brush, he had forgotten his tooth jwwder. He consoled himself with the thought that there must be tooth powder lying soniowhcre about. After a brief search he discovered something in a small box on the mantel which certainly resembled tooth jxjwder. At any rate he used it vigorously on his teeth, and found it satisfactory. When ho got down stairs he apologiztKl to this hostess for iioing her tooth powder. She ap|>cared surprised. •' %\Tiat tooth powder?" she inquired, blandly. " It was on the mantel," Mark replie<{. " On the mantel?" sh*> repeated. 'â-  Yes. ill a small box. It was cxceUent," he declared. " Good gracious ! " she ejacu- lated. " that wasn't tooth powder ! " " What I was it ? " asked Mark, now slightly alarmed. Why, that was auntie!" said she. It seems that " auntie " had been cremated. â€" Itivhenter }'o$t. Ho Understood. " But, father," she protested as the old mau ceased speaking, " you do not seem to understand the case." " Oh, but I do. Yor shall never marry William, even if ho is my confidential clerk." " Father, you " " That ia all, Helen â€" say no more." Four days later she wrote him from Toronto, saying : " Will and I arrived here safely, and were married at once. We have 800,000 of your money. Is all forgiven, or shall we settle dowr here ?" Ho telegraphed his forgiveness. â€" iV. 1' H'dK Street Neict. \ Prcroelouft 'Wl.iilnin.
