Where We Live.

Insignificant as is the spot we inbabit
the zone Of life-the area which not only
all that live and breathe and move inhab.
it, but in which all vegetation is contained
is still more limited. From the sub.
marine forest in the lowest depths Of the
sea, to the highest altitude to which the
condor scars, above the perpetual snow, is
but twelve miles--six miles Of air above
us, six miles Of water beneath--everything
that has vitality is confined. If the sala-
mander lives in the central fire, the excep-
ton is so small as scarcely to be worth
mentioning. The air presses upon the
earth with force equal to thirty-three
feet of water; and upon every human
body with weight Of fifteen tons, which
only does not squash US fat as pancakes
because the air surrounds us on all sides,
including our insides, and thereby the
weight is balanced. To most Of US, Ma
ture is one vast mirage, suggesting infinite
decisions and even to the learned many
things still remain to be cleared up by
slow-moying science in future ages. Who
would imagine upon the face Of the mat
ter, for instance, that, in an airless world,
mot sound could ever be heard? On the
contrary, in still and silent space, one
would conceive that we might hear a pin
drop from the moon. Hawksby demon
strated the contrary of this in a memora-
Bile experiment before the Royal Society,
one hundred and eighty years ago. He
placed clock under the receiver Of an
air-pump, in such way that the striking
Of the clapper would continue after the
air had been exhausted; while the receiy-
er was full Of air the sound was quite aud
ible; when it was empty, all was silent.
Again, when the air was introduced, there
was a feeble sound, growing in intensity
as the air grew denser At the top Of
Mount Blanc, the report Of pistol Is no
louder than that Of common cracker let
of at the level Of the sea. aAbove two
miles" says Mr.. Glaisher, who, as every
body knows, is an seronaut of considerable
experience, "all noise ceases. | never
encountered a silence more complete aud
solemn than in the heights Of the atmos,
phere-in these chilling solitudes to which
no terrestrial sound reaches" On the
other hand clouds absolutely facilitate the
transmission Of sound. Above great
city, to a height of from 1000 to $500
feet, there Is always noise, aimmense,
colossal aud indescribable. The whistle
Of q steam engine is heard at 10, 900 feet
the noise Of train at $500, says NJ,
Flammarion but Mr.. Glaisher testified ts
having heard this latter when $4,000 feet
up in the air; the barking Of dog and
the report Of a gun rise each 70 5000 feet

ing Of q cock, the tolling es bell, to s ,00(

Funeral. in Vienna.

A fashionable funeral in Vienna is thus
described by Mr.. Fulton, in letter to the
Baltimore American All funerals here
are very much alike, but we to-day wit
messed what is regarded as first-class
funeral. First came two mounted outrid-I
ers on black horses, with black cloth swal-
lowtail coats, trimmed with silver lace,
epaulets on their shoulders and swords at
their sides. They each carried in their
hands black poles, about six feet in length,
on the tops of which were large silver
lanterns, with light burning within.
The trappings Of the horses were heavily
covered with black trimmings, presenting
a. very sombre aspect. They wore black
chapeaus, also trimmed with silver lace.
Next came the hearse, not much different
from the most elegant of our city hearses,
but more ponderous, and drawn by six
solemn black horses, similaly arrayed as
those Of the outriders, they being almost
covered with mourning harness. The two
foremost horses Of the six drawing the
hearse also had postillions mounted upon
them, wearing the same funeral uniform
as the outriders. Two men, similarly
arrayed, occupied the drivers seat, and
on the sides of the hearse twelve more of
these graue-looking gentlemen marched
along with large silver-gilt candlesticks in
their hands, with candles burning. Eight
carriages followed, horses, and everything
else, Of the blacklist black, and driver and
foo'man upon each, wearing the funeral
garb. These men make business Of
burials, and take charge Of everything,
keeping carriages and horses that are not
used for any other purpose The extent
of the display they make is governed en-
tirely by the amount paid. Sometimes the
body Is carried to the grave on the should
ers Of the same men in the same uniform,
with the same candles and other para
phernalia Of death.

Ghings sbroad.
The Msn-Eatsrs of Hindoostan.

India suffers from a trouble which is Of
sufficient importance to have been recent
ly made the text Of debate in the Eng
lish Parliament. II is the destruction Of
human life by wild beasts. There are in
HindOostan vast tracts Of jungle inhabited
by tigers and other beasts of prey. Be-
tween these and the cultivated sections
there is a debateable land, peopled sparsely,
in manner similar to our Western border.
When deer are scarce or wary in the jun
gle the famished tigers appear as maraud-
ers among the border settlements, and
this causes the trouble, for the tigers are
man-eaters, and will devour the settler
himself as quickly as his goat or buffalo.
Since the Indian mutiny there has been
general disarmament ofthe natives through
out the peninsula, and this depriving the
Hindoo Of his weapons Of defence leaves
him an easy prey. The destruction of life
by wild beasts is appalling, no less than
13,400 human beings having been killed
by them during the six years preceding
1870, whilst the annual destruction of life
from this cause throughout India is esti-
mated at ten thousand. In 1869, one
tigress stopped the travel on a public road
for several weeks and killed 127 persons
Another tiger roamed in Nayduala during
1867, 1868 and 1869, killing 1OS people,
having repeatedly attacked large parties
and killed four or five at n time, and hay
ing, the week before it was shot, killed
seven persons. This destruction of life is
not the only injury, for it is calculated that
these beasts destroy an enormous number
of cattle. In Madras the proportion is
sixty head Of cattle to one human being
killed. The losses from these ravages are
estimated at FIVE millions of dollars year.
There is, besides, an additional loss through
the abandonment of extended districts
from the flight of the frightened people.
There is report of single tigress, in
Central India, which destroyed thirteen
villages and caused 250 square miles of
territory to be thrown out of cultivation.
To prevent these disasters rewards are
offered and special sums are placed on the
head of particular beasts, 300 rupees, about
$3.50 being the maximum. There is a
suspicion that the certainty of these re-
wards being offered, sometimes leads the
natives to permit tiger to pursue his
ravenous course longer than would other
wise be the case. In the debate which
occurred in the House of Lords, the Duke
of Argyll promised that the Government
would devote its immediate attention to the
subject with view of providing some
means of checking this horrible slaughter.

A correspondent Of the symeuse Stoa.
dord, as the result Of an interview with 4
well-informed lumbernan of Michigan.
supplies the following particulars ofa littls
known region and class of workmen -
"The tract from which the lumber is main.
" taken, called the pineries, il some eirhs
miles in width by one hundred and fifty
miles in length, unrolieved, as general
thing, by anything like civilization, apart
from that which is directly identified with
the lumber interest This tract embraces
two respectable lakes--the Muskegon and
Pleasant. A slight idea Of the enormous
amount Of lumber taken from this tract
may be found BY gIancing at the amount ii
supplies the Chicago market alone, which
in 1859 was one hundred and fifty millions
of feet, and in 1872 over two hundred
millions Of feet
A camping party Of lumberman num-
bers from forty to sixty, who are paid
upon an average, s25 per month, with
board and lodging, the wages of saw-miII
men ranging higher. The villages which
have sprung up, as result Of the lumber
traffic, are universally strangers to morali-
ty, as the inhabitants are strangers 70 one
another. II would be natural to suppose
that these men, employed in the laborious
work Of getting out this lumber, were the
most hardy Of Americas yeomanry, but as
matter Of fact fully two-thirds Of them
are persons delicately reared, who have en-
braced this calling not from choice, but to
escape the penalties for the commission Of
various crimes and misdemeanors.
To all such, save murdercrs, the Michi-
gan pineries is a city Of refuge, more i'm
pregnable than the walls Of bastile. Ifa
criminal is tracked to this stronghold, as
frequently is the case, resistance to the
officers is not dreamed Of, because entirely
unnecessary. 30 ample are the lumber
mems facilities for concealment, and SO
perfect their system Of secrecy, that it
must be a sagacious detective who can
make 1t necessary for them to put forth
more than an ordinary effort to screen
fugitive from capture As place of re-
fuge for criminals, it might be hoped that
the pineries would become less secure as
the timber was cut out, were it not that,
unfortunately, spontaneous growth Of
every variety Of scrub tree springs up in
space of time that is truly marvellous, and
50 dense as to make the prospect of
entrapping fugitive more hopeless than
ever

A Japanese Hotel.


In imagining a Japanese hotel, good
reader, please dismiss all architectural
ideas derived from the Continental or
Fifth Avenue. Our hotels at japan, out
wardly at least, are wooden structures, two
stories high, and often but one. Their
roofs are usually thatched, though the
city caravsnsaries are tiled. They are
entirely open on the front, ground floor,
and about six feet from the sill or threshold
rises platform about a foot and half
high, upon which the proprietor may be
seated on his heels behind railing ten
inches high, busy with his account book.
If it is in winter, he is engaged in the ab-
sorbing occupation of all Japanese trades
men at that time Of year-warming his
hands over a charcoal FIRE in q small bra
zier. The kitchen is usually just next to
this front room, often separated from the
street only by latticed partition In
evolving japanese kitchen out Of his or
her imagination the reader must cast away
the rising conception Of Bridget's realm.
Blissful, indeed, is the thought as we en-
ter the Japanese hotel that neither the
typical servant girl nor the American hotel
clerk is to be found here. The landlord
comes to meet us, and, falling on his hands
and knees, bows his head to the aoor.
One or two of the pretty girls out Of the
bevy usually seen in Japanese hotels assist
US and take our traps. Welcomes, inyi-
tations, and plenty Of fun greet US As We
sit down to take off our shoes, as all good
Japanese do, and as filthy foreigners don't,
who tramp on the mats with muddy boots.
We stand unshod and are led BY the
laughing girls along the smooth corridors,
across an arched bridge which spans an
open space in which is rockery, garden,
and pond, stocked with goldfish, turtles,
and marine plants. The room which our
fair guides choose for us is at the rear end
Of the house, overlooking the grand scene-
ry for which Kanozan is Justly famous
over the empire. Ninety-nine valleys are
said to be visible from the mountain top
on which the hotel is situated, and We
suspect that the multinlication hv f~n

Chinese Women.

Mrs. Baldwin, missionary to China,
gives some interesting facts in regard to
the women Of that country. She says
girls have no choice of their husbands; the
young girl is sold by her parents at the
highest price they can obtain for her.
After they are married, if he chooses he
can be divorced from her for talking too
much; if he becomes poor or gets tired Of
her, he sells her again. In the coolest
weather the large-footed women are not
allowed to wear stockings, and cannot dress
in any other color than black or blue.
The manner in which they make their feet
small is by binding the four toes under the
foot, which they keep bound up for about
eleven years, when the foot becomes dead.
l have walked through the streets when
the women would brush against my dtess
so as to see my feet, so that they could
tell to what class belonged. would say
to them, 81 will show you my feet, but
do not pull my clothes, as it is rude"
When would expose my feet to them
they would exclaim why, have you no
real ladies in America ?" And the only
way that could make them believe that
we had was by telling them that the women
read books like the men, which utterly
astounded them, as the real Chinese is
brought up in the utmost ignorance, and
they only marry in the rich families, be-
cause they know and do so little, and need
SO much waiting upon that it takes rich
husband to support them. If you ask a
Chinese woman how many children she
has, she will give you only the number of
boys. She has to be asked the second
time how many girls she has, as they are
thought so little of that in many cases
they are killed as soon as born. A large
footed woman told me once that her first
child was little girl, and she described to
me how she loved the little one. aMy
husband went out" she said, ''and brought
in tub of water. begged him to spare
its life, but he took the little one and put
its head in the water, and held it there
until it was dead. My second babe was
daughter, and it was served the same as
the first the third child was boy; he lived
until he was about four years old, when
the gods got angry and killed him. Then
my husband died, and If eat anything
that is nice, and If | wear good clothes,
my relatives become angry, and treat me
harshly." Even in our Christian churches
in China the women are not allowed in
the same room with the men, but are
partitioned off in lattice-work room.

EATING WHEN ExHAUsTED.--When the
strength or nerve power is already worn
out or used up, the digestion of food only
makes fresh demand upon it, and If It
be unable to meet the demand, the food is
only burden upon it, producing mischief.
Our bodies have been compared to steam
engines, the food being the fuel and the
steam produced the nerve power. The
analogy holds good to certain extent.
If, when the steam is low, because the fire
is low, you pile in too fast, quantity of
coal you put out your fire, and if you have
depended upon steam power to fan your
fires, that is also extinguished. Beyond
this comparison fails. You may clean
out your furnaces and begin again, but
in the body the consequences Of this over
loading are dangerous and sometimes fatal.
No cause Of cholera is more common than
eating freely when exhausted. The rule
should be to rest for time, and take some
simple reffeshment, cup or part of a
cup Of tea, little broth, or even pieco
Of bread, anything simple and in small
amount, just to stimulate the stomach
slightly and begin to restore its power.
After rest, moderate quantity viii be re-
freshiug. Never eat full meal when you
are exhausted. Take first small quanti-
ty of anything single which may be handy
and rest Then sitter time proper food
will be a blessing, not burden.
