pressure Of 80 pounds to the square Dch and that
100 900 cubic feet of pure air an hour Is supplied by the

petey in the caissOn. A careful analysis shows the
amount carbonic acid in the atmosphere to be less
than onerd OF per The effect OF the pressure
is produce pain in the limbs, often very severe but
seldom Of long duration. There have been four of
partial paralysis and of $50 men employed three have
died. one from ceIebro spinal meningitis, another on
Monday from congestion OF the lungs and the third yes
terday from Brghts disease of the kidneys. The men

FEBRUARY.-This was one Of the
two months (January and February
which were added to the calendar by
Nums Pompilius, when extending by
these the number of months In the
year to twelve. The practice Of religious
expiaton aud publication which occur
red in the beginning Of this month
gave it its name Of February, from
Februare-to purify.
The signs Of the Zodiac connected
with this month are appropriately A
quarius aud Pisces, for chilly rains and
floods prevail; but spring hides under
the dark sods, and nature prepares to
break the bonds Of ice when this fast
ening month shall have passed.

This is Candlemas or Ground Hog
Day. In its ecclesiastical sense means
the feast of the Purifcation of the
Virgin Mary. 1t is festival very
strictly kept by the Roman Catholic
church, there being procession with
many lighted candles, aud those re-
quired for. the service of the ensuing
year being also on that occasion con-
secrated; hence the name Candlemas
day. 1t was formerly a ceremony in
the English church, but by an order
of Council was prohibited in England
in 1884. In Scotland, the prognostica-
ton is expressed in the following dis
itch:
"If Candlemas be fair and clear,
There'll be twa winters in the year"
Hence the popular superstition con-
cerning the Ground Hog.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE MAILs.-By a
recent decision of the Post Office De-
partment the law regarding sending
newspapers by mail has been moro
clearly defined than it has heretofore
stood. No name or memorandum can
be made on newspaper inside of
the wrapper on which the address is
written. 1t is barely permissible to
mark the article with pen or pencil.
More than this subjects the paper to
letter postage, aud the violator to a fine
No printed card, handbil or advertise
ment, no written notice, letter, or slip of
any kind whatsoever must be folded in
the paper. To do any of these things
is to violate the law. Printed slips
pasted on the outside or folded in pa
pers or periodicals, soliciting notices, are
also violations of the law. Senders of
transient papers can send bundles of
printed matter by weight, or transient
postage charges, but must not send any
written mater in such bundles. 1t will
