A DEATHS HEAD AND CROssBoNRs ought

MARVELLOUS FREAKS OF LIGHTNING. -
During tremendous shower which pass

Framingham and Lowell Railroad in the

upon the platform in the midst of the

nounced dead by nearly all present, a
lady of the neiguborhood placed herself
at bis side and commenced rubbing his
body briskly. This she continued to do
for several moments, and until medical
assistance could be procured For some
thirty minutes Mr.. Parmenter was
speechless, but at the time of writing he

WHAT TO Do.-A writer in house
hold weekly gives some excellent advice
to women who want work and its wages.
In describing the vain and weary search
Of the traveller for clearly, simple, and
palatable meals along railroad lines, he
suggests that good bousekeepers who
need emplo, ment sbould keep neat
eating houses where such meals could
be fonnd We wish that somebody
would accept this suggestion, and make
something of it. A pleasant, airy room,
free from flies, where plain dinner OF
good materials, nicely cooked, could be
got. would be a very haven Of delight TO
the public, and a golden nest-epg to its
proprietor. Let there be no attempt to
serve diabolical pastries and horrid
messes with French names no human
being in his right senses ever eats such
things. Such a dining-room anywhere,
would make more money in a month
than a poor governess or mill-w oi.. r
sees in year. To women who know
how TO cook and who are sensible enough
to do IT, II they want TO, we commend
this idea.-ErcLdrqe.

STARVED THEM-A most astonishing
case of cruelty to animals was lately in
vestigated at Rottingdean England. by
the Society for the Prevention, &c. Miss
Mary Elizabeth Chan:rell, person Of
property, had a mania for collecting
cats and dogs, so that she had under b,r
roof no fewer than thirty of the former
and for'y-three Of the latter. Last
Spring she left her home and quadrupeds
in charge of couple of servant girls !;
bnt she forgot to leave any money for
victualling the menagerie and the girls.
The latter, as the tradesmcn refused
credit, took their leave, and the unfor-
tunate pets were shut up without food,
in consequence of which some of them
were forced to kill and cat their compan-
ions. The magistrate fined their neglect
'ul mistress for her culpable neglect,
and explained to her that those who
keep cats and dogs must make suitable
provisions for their maintenance.

A Cry OF WOMEN. In the central
part of the capital city of Bandkok, in
Siam, reside about nine thousand wo-
men, among whom no man but the king
may enter. The inhabitants of this
inner city are the thousand women Of
the royal harem, and some eight thou
sand more, who are soldiers, artiicers
and slaves. This little world is ruled by
women as magistrates, who administer
the laws of the kingdom. There is no
appeal from their decisions. II dis
turhance arises, it is suppressed by a
force of 500 Amazons, trained from
infancy to the use of sword and spear.
Meanwhile the slave women carry on "A
variety of manufactures, or go outside
the walls to till the fields The women
of higher birth are sealed" to the
king; the slave women may marry, but
their husbands dwell outside the walls.
The children, if BOYS, are banished from
the city of women at SIX years old only
the girls remain. All the oriental dis
tinctions of rank are scrupulously OBJ
served within this strange realm except
that the magistrates are chosen for per-
sonal character and wisdom.

VENrILATION. Whatever renders the
blood impure tends to originate and
foster consumption; and whatev Ell
makes the air impure makes the blood
impure for it is the air we breathe which
purifies the blood. This is no theory,
hut fact as we'll known as is the effect
of sunshine. 1t is precisely the same as
in the instance of the use of water for
purifying purposes II the water which
we use to wash our clothing be foul and
dirty, it is impossible to wash the cloth
ing clean, and just SO, il the air we
breathe be impure, it is impossible for
it to abstract the impurities from the
blood. Air and water are similar in sew
eral relations thus it is the nature of
still water to become impure, and Elk
actly the same is the fact with still air.
Running water also purifies itself; so
with AIR in motion-dratts of air are self
purifiers therefore it is that the air of
close room must inevitably become i'm
pure, and thus close, unventilated apart
ments are breeding consumption con-
stantly. That all rooms should have a
current OF air passing through them. is
simple sanitary necessity which could
not be too strongly insisted upon.

The Bridge Of Signs.

The famous Bridge Of Signs In Venice.
connects the palace with the public
prison. The latter was erected in 1880,
and the bridge in 1891. A single arch
supports the structure, which connects
the second story Of the palace with the
second story of the prison. II Is simply
a corridor divided by a partition into
two narrow halls, through one OF which
political prisoners were conducted to
imprisonment, while the common crimi
mails passed through tina other. Extern
ally the Bridge of Signs has no particular

riety from its name and from The pre-
