A CASE OF CRuELTY.-Col. Freeman
tie of the Coldstream guards has fur
nished to the London Times cores
pondence between himself and the
Secretary of the Dublin and Glasgow
Steam Packet Company which curiously
illustrates the rigid adherence OF the
ordinary English official to regulations,
and his incapacity to discover any cir
cumstances which might sanction any
deviation from them. Corporal Sinclair

consumption was refused admittance IN
to the cabin of one of the Glasgow and
Dublin steamers, on the ground that 1t
wa. AGAINST the rules of the company to
allow a cabin passage to non commits
stoned officers or private soldiers so long
as they wear the Queens uniform, al
though no objection is made to admit
persons of the lowest grade in civilian
dress. So the unfortunate man was
obliged to take q steerage passage, the
discomforts Of which greatly aggravated
the malady from which he was suffering;
In reply to a remonstrance from Coione'
Freemantle against this inhumanity, the
Secretary of the company says that
Corperal Sinclair was informed that II
be would cover his uniform with civil
ian overcoat he could obtain a cabin
passage. But as the corporal possessed
no such garment, the permission was OF
little avail. and he became victim to
red tape. The absurdity of the whole
thing becomes apparent when it is con-
sidered that the shabbiest civilian IN
could have obtained on this oc,
casion what was denied to a brave and
veteran.

A Tidal WuyC.

The researches of the United States
Signal Office have just been rewarded by
a beautiful and highly important meteo--
| rological discovery. On the coast Of
England from time immemorial the phe-
nomenon of the great November atmos-
pheric wave has been the speculation of
scientists and seamen, but Sir John Her
schel and others have supposed that it
was peculiar and confined to England
and Western Europe, which it reaches
from the South Atlantic, and over which
it rolls its long continued undulations
from October to January, constituting
an important element in the phenomenal
character of European Winter. On the
10Th of November similar atmospheric
wave began to break over the shores OF
Oregon and British Columbia, as shown
Y the weather kilograms. BY the even
ing of the 18th it had spread over nearly
all Of the Pacific States and Territories,
Nevada and Utah, and at midnight was
pouring through the passes of the Rocky
Mountains. On Thursday, the 14th, it
descended upon Colorado, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Indian Territory. On
Friday morning it extended in unbrokcn
magnitude and magnificence from Ore
gon and Washington Territory eastward
through the great trough or depression
of the Rocky Mo ntain backbone in
Idaho and Montana and stretched thence
to the Lower Missouri and Lower Missis-
sippi valleys and over the western shores
of the Mexican Gulf. This discovery
will enable meteorologists to anticipate
by many days the approach of winter, as
it advances from the Pacific coast east
ward in the great current of westerly
winds 1t serves to clear up the old
mystery of American Winter storms,
showing that they originate in the Rocky
Mountains, upon whose cold and loftiest
SUBMITS in Nevada, Utah, Colorado I'd
Southern Wyoming the vapor- laden AIR
of this wave, coming over the warm
Pacific, is now seen to be condensed IN
the overwhelming SHOWS of the forty
first parallel. As this vast aerial wave is
probably, like the English wave, con-
tinuea in successive unGulations for two
or three months, it may assist in explain
ing the comparatively high temperature
and light precipitation i'll Winter along
Paget Sound and eastward.

A Humorous Firc.lnclicni.

The fire, says n Boston paper, wa
prolific in amusing incidents, ever
during its moments OF supremcst horror
and the ludicrous went cheek by jow
with the serious to far greater extent
than il is possible TO conceive by those
who kept themselves aolt from The
scene. Not the least laughablc of the
incidents to which we aluie was that in
which middle-aged lady played inn
portant parts, She was somewhat on
the shady side of forty, tall, thin and
bony of aspect. Her sandy hair was
screwed up into numberless rigid curls
on either side of her face, and crunched
bonnet fluttered defantly down her back
and was only prevented from falling of
by the ribbons by which it was tied
rounG her neck. Her rusty black dress
had been evidently hurried on at a mo-
ment's warming. us il was hnttoned aud

sympathy. 'Will nobody put out a
hand to save the poor thing ?' she EN-,
plored in almost frantic accents. "Oh,
dear oh, dearl Ny little darling will
be burnt to death ~ Even the most
hardened felt for the agony that seemed
to be urging the poor woman to mad
ness. Firemen stopped their work to
ask her where her "Clara" was, and
several crowded around her with proilers
of assistance if she would only be ex.
plicit. But not coherent explanation
could be gained from her. She contin-
ued to wiring her hands and to moan,
CLARA, Clara my poor Clara" " In the
n thrill of terror went through
the multitude at the idea that some
human creature was in deadly peril Of
being burned to death, and no intelli-
gence of her whereabouts was to be
gained from the half-demcnted woman
before them, who rocked to and fro.

to pick her darling up, the ung:ateful

Five. Minutes Chat With Young Girls.

And now, girls, says Dio Lewis, let us
return to your dress. In previous chat
l spoke OF one feature of your dress
which | venture to say must be changed
before You can have clear head, good
digestion, and a healthy liver.
| wish now to speak of the dress of
the middle of the body. Every one OF
us lives in proportion to our breathing
If we breathe strong, we live strong; il
our breath is weak our life is weak; the
quantity of air We take into our lungs is
the measure of our life.
Now, go with me to the bail room.
Here we are. Notice that couple: the
are dancing. Watch them. When they
stop observe their breathing. There,
he has taken one deep breath, filling all
the lower part of his lungs, and now his
breathing is quiet. But notice her
breathing. See how the upper part of
her chest works up and down. Watch
her ten minutes. That painting and
pumping will go on.
What do you suppose is the reason for
this difference? Do you suppose the
Creator made a woman's lungs so def
CLcHt III SlAe tuit sue Ids w WOIh luil
way to get her breath? Among young
children there is no difference in the
breathing of boys and girls. If we visit
a farm where persons of both sexes are
engaged in outdoor labor, with the same
freedom of dress, we shall not find the
women breathing in that peculiar way.
No, the working and pumping of that
chest are owing to her dress. The low
er part of the lungs is the large part.
There is where most of the breathing
should be done. There is where the
man does most of his breathing. But
she has so squeezed and contracted the
lower part of her lungs that very little
breath can get down there, so that the
small upper end is compelled to do most
of her breathing. 1t is that little upper
end which is working away so hard I'M
der her ribs now. When lady dances,
luns, or goes up stairs, she suffers
humping of the heart and labored
not because the original con-
stitution Of her breathing apparatus was
faulty, but because she so congresses
the lower, larger part OF her lungs, that
she is like person who has but a single
lung to breath with. There is a lack of
breathing room and of course the breath
ing is labored.
With knife on .corset string, every
should cry out, "Give me liberty
n give me deathr'
Perfect freedom for lungs, heart, liver
md stomach is indispensable to good
circulation and digestion
Without such freedom, living is not
living, but dying.

Scenes Among the Germans.

writer from Dresden, in the Chicago
Inter- ocean, says that the forced service
in the army is the main cause of the
great emigration, and so great has il
been this scason--over OO0-that
soldiers have been detailed to gather the
crops, and dwellings, are absolutely not
to be found, muslin and frame tents
being throHn up In Berlin to accom-
modate the incoming population, who
are giving up their little homes with the
firm intention, as soon as they can get
passage, of finding others in country
where they imagine no want exists.
In Germany the child of but few
years Of age Is set to labor, either in
carrying the universal korb basket,
suited to their size, upon their back,
dragging their wagons through the
streets, or working in the field. The
korb holds about one and half bushels,
and il is girls or women always who
carry them, either unloading coal boats,
| for which IL y receive five pfenings for
two full baskets (about one and a quarter
cents, or bringing them to market filed
with produce, and many times have |
seen iull-laden one placed upon the
rounded back Of an old woman by II
burly man, who walked 10y her side
laughing and talking while she toiled
along with her heavy load.
Women almost invariably make the
mortar and carry it to the builders. They
drag about the streets coal or other mat
ter in wagons holding nearly a ton, upon
one side of the tongue themselves with
n strap over the shoulder and upon the
other dog. They dig and rlow in the
fields, at times harnessed with an OK.
They break the coal in pieces and carry
it up to the houses and assist in saving
wood, which is done on standard three
feet high, one at either end of the saw,
while the man splits it ready for them
to deliver.
The peasantry are uncouth in their
appearance, and rough in their manner,
paying little attention to the graces of
life, and yet have n delight in flowers
and music, which has no lack Of food
in this land of beautiful art. Their diet
is simple. consisting mainly of black
bread, made sour purposely, sausage,
and coffee or beer. Fresh meat they
have but seldom, and the workman
seems to thrive on his lump of bread
and cheese and potatoes, which he eats
at least five times day, and washes
down with the beer made ut home,
brewery beer being too expensive for
his daily use. They have, after all their
haryests, feast, to which all neighbors
resort, gayly dancing the evening away.
In one of our country walks we innocent
" walked into n stable where the women
as usual, were threshing, and the men
idling about, as it was not their work.
A fine was demanded from us as from
others for the entertainment which was
to follow. just now the potatoes are
all gathered and merry makinss are fill
ing the country round. THAR pleasures
are simple, but their life is hard, with
no prospect of change, and America, the
heaven for women and children, and
field of future prosperity for men, is
Ionged for, and every exertion made to
reach it.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CASTING METALS

IMPROVEMENTS IN CASTING METALS
The invention OF Mr.. w. Sellers, Of
Pbiladelphia, Pa, relates to a novel me-
thod of discharging the molten metal
from the furnace or crucible in which 1t
has been melted, and of casting or trans
ferring the same into moulds, or into an
other furnace or clucible, without pierre
ing anv part of the earth or bed of the
furnace, or removing the crucible from
The furnace in which it has been heated,
and without exposing the molten metal
during its transit to the action OF the air,
thereby avoiding the oxidizing effect OF
the air thereon, and preventing the con-
veyance of air along with the metal into
the mould. In carrying out this lnven.
ton the transfer Of the metal is effected
through pipe or conduit by the agency
of atmospheric pressure, one end OF the
said pipe or conduit dipping down below
the surface of the molten metal IN the
furnace or crucible, whilst the other end
is in direct communication with the
mould. so that on exhausting, or parti-
ally exhaus.iug, the air from the interior
of the mould, or group Of moulds, the
molten metal will flow freely therein, be-
ing forced along the pipe or conduit by
the pressure of the atmosphere upon the
surface of the metal in the furnace or
crucible.

I" Make No Mistakes"

A ilrst-rate story is told of very prom.
inent man, who lived in Detroit forty
years ago, and who at that time owned
more steamboat stock than any man in
the Western country, besides other wealth
to large amount.
Like many of the pioneers who acquired
great riches, he was very ignorant in all
that books taught, but his learning is
more like wisdom, and, in common with
many who have lived and passed away,
but left their mark behind them, he knew
what tree would make shingles by looking
at it.
lie had, at the time of our story, Just
completed a splendid new warehouse at
Buffalo, and wanting suitable clerk to
take charge OF it, he advertised for one in
the papers. The next morning early, a
candidate for the position presented him
self, rather too flashy young man in
appearance, bnt the following cosversa-
| tion occurred:
Young man, when you make mistake
in any of your books, how do you correct
itf"
The young man explained, in very
profuse manner, how he should proceed
to make it all right.
"a good way, 10 doubt, TO do it., re-
piled the Old man, "but | shan't want
you
Very soon another asprant put in an
appearance. A similar question was asked
him, and in long and eloquent manner
he pointed out the remedy in all such
cases.
All the reply WIS; "Young man,
shan't want You"
Some three or four others dropped in
during the day, and to each one the same
question was put, and they all had some
smart way of covering up errors in their
books.
The old gentleman was entirely ignor-
ant himself of the art of bookkeeping,
but lie had wisdom in all things, which is
more than a match for learning.
Just at the close Of the day plainly
dressed man with bright eye and brisk
step called for the situation.
Take seat, sir" said the old gentle
MAN, II want to ask you one question.
When you make false entry on your
books, how do you go to work to correct
itw
Turning upon hi questoner cold,
sharp look, the yea lg man replied 81
don't make that kind of mistakes, sir"
"Ah my dear sir, you are just the man
| have been looking for all day." and in a
few moments after, the man who corrected
his blunders by not making them, was in
stalled in the office.
