The London Spectator attempts to ac-
count for the horror-greater than the
horror of death-with which people re-
gard the possible destruction of the earth,
as predicted for next August. in the re-
port recently published in the Swiss
Times. OF Geneva. The principal cause
of this horror, it thinks, is the "abrupt
inaignifoance to which 80 much Of our
past lives" would be reduced by such a
simultaneous evaporation" Most men
''look upon DEATH" it says, "with q
certain sonse of personal dignity, rs ono
OF the solemn acts of life which deserves
little attention and respectful defer
ence from those aronnd-of which they
would be defrauded if they were to
share in universal and momentary
death." It is pleasant to be hssured
that the anticipated comet is fiction,
and that Professor Plantamour, to whom
the prediction was asoribed. not only
denies that he ever made it, but does
not "profess comets" at all, those atten-
uated astronomical phenomena not COM
ing within his special department.

WHY RAILROAD ACCIDENTS Don't HAP
PEN IN GERMANY.-That most railway
accidents, and especially those which
arc the result Of collision, can be avoid
ed by proper care and foresight. is un-
deniable. This is shown by the compa-
rative exemption from accident which
some railroads in Germany, conducted
on proper principles, enjoy. It is said
that in Germany an accident has never
occurred even from the breaking of rails.
The New York Ecening Post says that
not person in that country hns lost his
life or been mutilated from this cause in
all the thirty or more years that steam
carriages- have been running on iron
ways The reason is plain. It is deter
iron will resist. on the average, the beat
ing of wheels. and then the law requires
the railroad companies to put down rails
periodically. whether those in use exhi-
bit signs of weakness or not. While
this involves expense, it is 80 managed
as to be gradually distributed over Pc
riod of years, small part Of the road
being renewed each year until the whole
is completed within the given time.
Here, on the contrary, upon many rail
road lines, little attention is given TO tho
selection of rails and less to their renew
ais at certain periods. Few companies
incur the exponee of substituting steel
for iron rails, though the former are
more durable. In like manner the same
false economy in oil that wonld give in
creased security to tho public is one of
tho chief causes of the frightful perils
Of railway travelling.

Paper houses arc one Of the novelties
OF the times. They are said to be as
warm and durable as houses built in the
ordinary way, and much cheaper. The
frame, doors and floor arc of wood; tho
paper with which the frame is covered
on the outside is heavy and compact
and made more substantial by being
covered with mineral paint or cement
The inside walls and ceilings are covered
with another kind of paper. II this sort
OF house Joan be rendered fre-proof, it
may become popular.

The Strasbourgers will not be conci-
lated. The old love for tho French
language survives every attempt which
is made to extinguish it. The last effort
of the kind consisted of an edct by the
Governor that the language Of the plays
at tho theatres should be invariably Ger
man. AT this, the people openly mur-
mured and rebelled, and at last COM
promise had to be resoTteti &c, tc the
effect that once week the French may
be employed, but on oil other nights tho
German only. These being the best
terms they could get. tho people are said
to sullenly submit. but declare they
will only attond the French performance.
and let the Germans play to empty
benches.

made 10 very famous by wouldsbe Aeir,
is in 1smr shire. and there is fery
ourioj story about custb,n OF alms-
giving which prevailed t6eFe. When
Lady Mabella, ifwife 81 Sir Roger de
Tiehbprne, knight in the tinte OF Henry
III, was lying on her death bed, she be.
sought her loving huuband, as her last
request, that he would grant her the
means Of leaving behind her charitable
bsquest In dole of bread, to be dis
tributed to all who Bhohlde apply for It
annually on the Feast Of the Annuncia.
-tjon pf .ths Blessed Virgin Mary. Sir
Roger, her husband, readily acceded to
her request,by~ promising the produce
OF as much land as she pould go over in
THO vicinity OF tho park, while certain
brand or billet was burning. supposipg
that, from her long infirmity-for she
had been bed-ridden some years-shg
would be able to go round a small
portion only OF his property. The
venerable dame. however. ordered her
attendants to convey her to the corner
Of the park, where, being deposited on
tho ground, she seemed TO receive, q

age might end, she crawled nronnd

which was the scene of Mabella's extra
ordinary feat retains tho name Of
"Crawls" to this day. It is situated
near the entrance OF tho park, and con-
tains an area OF twentythree acres.
Her task completed. she was conveyed
back to her chamber. where she pre-
dicted prosperity 10 the house so long as
the annual dole existed, and the loss OF
tue family name when it ceased. Then
she died. Up to 1876 the custom con-
tiuued, when, on account Of the objec-
tionnl character Of tho crowds who
came for the donations, and pilfered the
country road. it was given up. Singu-
larly enough, the family name WAS pre-
