Why EWES @Es ARE BEAUTIFUL.-
Chateaubriand give fancitul but an
agreeable reason for the fict that jew
ish women are SO much handsomer
than the men of their nation. He says
Jewesses have escaped the curse which
alightcd upon their fathers, husbands
and sons. Not a Jewess was 10 be
seen among the crowd of priests and
rabble who insultcd the son Of God,
scourced him, crowned him with thorns
and subjected him TO the infamy and
agony of the cross. The women Of
,Judea believed in the Savior, and as
sisted and 500 he'd him under affllction
a woman of Bethany poured on his
head precious ointment, which she kept
In vase Of alabaster. A sinner anoint-
ed his feet with perfumed oil and wiped
dhem with her hair. Christ on his part
extended mercy tc the Jewesses. He
raised from the dead the son Of the
widow of Main, and Martha's brother
Lazarus. He cured Siman's mothes-in-
law. and the woman who touched the
hem Of his garment. To the Samali-
tan woman he was a spring of living
water, and compassionate judge to
the adulter, IS. The daught rs Of .Je-
rusalem pit over him the holy w">

brought balm and spices, and weeping
sought him in the sepulchre. "Woman,

At The sound of ki- gGice, Mary's eyes

NAPoLEoN's LAST VILLA Paris
correspondent tells the FLOWING
strange story, truth of which, he says,
may be relied on: The Able Viguali,
ConfeSsor to the Emperor Napoleon at
St Helena, carried about with him,
sewn up in bis garments, the last will
and testament of the fallen monarch,
Ia which be declared excluded from
the succession to his throne the two
sons of the King Of Holland, as pun
ishment for their fathers treason.
This will, which has for a long time
renamed hushed in grim repose, has at
last fallen into the hands Of Jorome,
who threatened to give it publicity,
and demanded from his nephew a high
price for his discr, ton, He has it is
said, sold 1t to the Emperor, by whom
it was destroyed Had it, however,
bc en- made public, It would have fallen
still born upon the world. We are now

The ANNUALAMoUNT OF HEAT.-It
is remarka ble fact that countries ly-
ing within the same degrees of latitude
differ greatly in the ranges Of their tenn
perature. On the west coast of Eu-
rope the winters are comparatively
warm and the summers equally cool,
while on the eastern coast of America
the reverse of this is true Thus in
countries lying l6O further north in
western Europe than New York, the
average temperature in January is 800
and thpt of July Goa range of only
thirty degrees. In New York the range
Of variation often amounts to nearly
100 degrees.
In January last, the thermometer in
New York stood from 90 to 70 degrees
below zero, for some days; while it
ranged flom % to 9S degrees above it,
for some days last week. But although
the ranges of temperature dlff-r great
ly in diff rent countries, the actual
amount of heat, annually, is according
to the position Of the counIrIe in re-
lation to the poles and the equator
In Europe, by long observation, il
has been found that the mean tempera-
ture Of a place remains nearly the
same. The winter may be unusually
cold, and the sumner unusually hot,
while the mean temperature has not
varied one degree very cold winter
is generally succeeded by very warm
summer, and rice rersa. This has al
SO been found to be the case with our
own climate-;he relative distribution
Of heat over summer and winter un.
dergoes compare lively small variations
A cold winter is generally succeeded
by a warm summer. We have noticed
"A exception, and on'y one to this rule;
that was the summer of 1886, which
was wet and cold, and succeeded a We
ry long and cold winter. This was ac-
counted for by three very large dark
spots on the suns disk, which were
seen distinctly with the naked eye for

To MAKE Ivory VERY Sort AND
TRANsPARENT.-Ivory may be render
ed scft and transp aren't as follows:
Small pieces Of ivory are laid in
strong phosphoric a,id until they be-
come transparent, then rinced in wa
ter and dried in pure linen. When
dry it is translucent an / hard, but soft
ems as it it is dipped in warm water or
mi k. The time of immersion in the
acid differs with different pieces of
ivory. If certain parts are to retain
their original character, they are cover
ed with a varnish before immersion.
The acid probably acts by forming an
acid phosphate which constitutes three
fourths Of ivory The process ofhard-
ening ivory which has become friable
by aye, so that it will be restored to
is original state of hardness, consists
