Written by George Alfred Townsend. the ra-
ciest and best of newspaper correspondents. Has
more Information in the same compass and for
the same money than any other book before the
public. Its descriptions oflite, customs and laws
of Europe and this country, with its comparis-
ons, make it the most desirable book of the day.
Its description of the State Ceremonies of Napo-
leon, Queen Victoria, and the President, alone
are worth more than the price ofthe book while
the different systems of Finance and Education
compared, make the work invaluable. 1t is a
book not for day, but for years. No library is
complete without 1t. The authors descriptive
powers here have been fully brought into play,
and the result is volume for interest and fas-
cination Of style which exceeds any now before
the people.

Horrors Of New York Quarantine
How the Emigrant Dead are Buried.

Charges of the most revolving nature
have been brought against Health Officer
Swinburne, in charge of the quarantine at
New York. Pre-eminent among these, says
the New York Sun, is one which, if true,
puts the boosted civilization of the age to
the blush 1t was in effect that the bodies
of the emigrants who died in the quaran-
tine ship had not only been buried without
coffins, but had actually been thrown into
their graves like dogs, and in some in
stances, when the holes, or so-called graves,
were not deep enough to contain the
corpses, the monsters entrusted with the
execution of this hellish Job would crush
them into their last resting place by dint of
stamping on them with their feet They
denied the dead coffin, in order to steal
the fee of five dollars allowed by the state
for that purpose. How long this infamous
state of affairs has continued at quarantine
it is impossible to tell The information
was first impaired several weeks ago to q
member of assembly from Kings county,
under very peculiar circumstances lie
procured friend situation under Doctor
Swinburne about a yearago. Atew months
later the assemblyman met his friend IN
the street and said:
'sWhat'e the matter? Have you been
discharged by DR.. SwinburneY
''No," replied the other, 81 left Of my
own accord. 1. ~
'sWhy?" asked the Assemblyman.
'Don't ask me. 1t makes me shudder
even to think of it. Ihave heard Of demons
of death, but had to go to quarantine to
see them. Before [ went there had
heard that they robbed the poor emigrants
who died there. That was bad enough,
l. al thot
we took the dead bodies to the Staten
Island shore; that we pitched them into
holes, and were ordered to stamp on them,
so as to get them in. Isn't that horrible? !?
I would like to take you there some day.
You could then see for yourself You
won't find two feet of sod over them, said
the late employee on board the quarantine
ship. From the Assemblyman's own lips
our reporter learned that this was nothing
when compared to other things he had
been told by this man. s.#a a-i '-

Remarkable Rims.

There are, sometimes, real showers of
very unreal rain. 1t is stated by an old
writer that in Lapand and Finmark, about
a century ago, mice of a peculiar kind were
known to fall from the sky and that such an
event was sure to be followed by good
year for foxes. A shower of frogs fell near
Toulouse, in 1904 A prodigious number
Of black insects, about an inch il length
descended in a snow storm at PakrOtf, Rus
sia, in 1897. On OCCASION, iii Norway,
the peasants were astonished ut finding a
shower of rats pelting down on their heads.
Showers of fish nave been numerous.
AT Stanstead, IN Kent. in 1866, pasture
field was found one morning covered plen-
tifully with fish although there is neither
sea nor river, lake nor fish pond near. At
Allahabad, in 1889 an English officer saw
good smart down-poar Of fish, and soon
after thousands of small dead fish were
found upon the ground. Scotland has had
many of these showers of fish, as in Ross
shire, In 1929 when quantities of herring
fry covered the ground; at Islay, In 1880,
when large number of herrings we're
found strewn over field after a heavy gus
ty rain; at Wick, much more recently,
when herrings was found in large quanti-
ties, in field half mile from the beach.
In all these, and numerous other cases,
when liberal allowance has been made for
exaggeration. the remainder can be ex-
planned by well understood causes.
Stray wind blowing from a sea or river; q
waterspout licking up the fish out of the
water; whirlwind sending them hither
and thither-ali these are intelligible. The
rat shower in Norway was an extraordinary
one. Thousands of rats were taking their
annual excursion from hiily region to the
lowlands, when whirlwind overlook them,
whisxed them up. and deposited them in a
field at some edistance-dOubtless much TO
the astonishment of snch rats as came
down alive. The so-called showers of
blood have had their days of terror and
marvel, and have disappeared. Not tat
any one ever saw such a shower actually
fall, but red spots have occasionally been
seen on walls and stones much to the pop
ular dismay. Swammerdam, the natural
ist told the people of Hague, two centuries
ago, that these red spots were connected
with some phenomena of insect life, but
they would not believe him, and insisted
that the spots were real blood, and were
portents of evil times to come Other
naturalists have since confirmed the scien-
tific ODiOiOn.

Sharks are ugly customers to deal with
in the water, and they make short work of
most kinds of fish, when hungry But tur-
ties, though excellent eating, are not read
lily caught, even by sharks. The following
is an account Of a fight between shark
and a turtle:
One day, while lying at anchor, and
whistling for a breeze, the steward rushed
In with the strange announcement that
shark and turtle were engaged In fight
alongside. Doubtful and amazed at the
account of so unusual and so unequal a
combat, we all rushed on deck, and there,
sure enough, we saw an immense shark,
and turtle of venerable antiquity, if one
might Judge by his size, and the profusiOn
of barnacles and other parasites with which
he was decorated.
Without respect for his age, and Quak er-
like habits, the shark made furious charges
at poor turtle, who opposed the dangerous
Jaws of the enemy with the full front OF his
back, on which no impression could be
made. On one occasion the turtle did not
turn quite sharp enough, which cost him
the graater part of one unlucky fipper
Indignant at the perversion of such ar
aldermanic banquet to the voracious apd
indiscriminating appetite of shark, our
skipper intervened with a harpoon, but
with such ill-judged aim, that it fell butt
end foremost, instead of at the point,
whereupon. in our disappointment, we
would gladly have pitched him after il. It
however, answered the purpose of soaring
away tn shark for few moments, which
the turtle made the most of to scuttle OF TO
the bottom, where he was safe from the at
tackS of his raYenous admirer.

How We Breathe.

Mrs. Walter c. Lyman, in a lecture in
New York recently, said:
Few persons know how to b, eathe so as
to promote perfect and thorough purifica-
ton of the blood, and still fewer suspect
that the want or lack Of proper breathing
is the principal cause Of the inactivity of
the liver. Men breathe more naturally
than women having greater freedom of
action. and taking more regular bodily ex-
ercise, their mode OF dress also giving them
greater expansion of the thoracic and alb
dominal yiscera. Hence fewer men than
women suffer from lung end liver com
plants. The lungs contain six hundred
millions OF air cells, composed of the most
delicate tissues which shrink and expand
according to the action of heat and cold,
exercise or rest, thus making a sudden
change from an over-heated atmosphere to
sharp cold, dangerous and certainly a
trying experiment. Women, as a general
thing, breathe only with the thoracic mus
cles, allowing the lower and larger por-
tiops of the lungs to collapse and harden,
and thus weakening their power of resist
ance. This breathing power may be restor>
ed even at an advanced age, by judicious
muscular exercise and by admi,ting to the
pulmonary system the largest amount pos
sible of fresh air.
