the marvellous arctic light is shining,
and glorifes all that it Eliminates. But
where the grandeur and the beauty are
greatest, there the solitude is most ap-
palling, and nowhere on the earth does
man feel his weakness and insignificance
so much as here, amid the awful desoIa-
ton. Once the schooner's voyages saw
the rare 'now-goose of Spitzbergen.
They had ascended a ledge of rocks,
eight hundred feet above the sea-Ievel :;
slowly they made their ascent to the
steep brow Of the crags, and found
themselves near the edge of a deep
blue lake, the surface of which was as
smooth as a mirror. On it were repos-
ing a number of large geese, pure
white, resting Undisturbed in the awful
solitude. At sight of the intruders they
rose and flew toward them, making for
the open sea. Very soon after this, the
schooner had to begin her homeward
voyage; symptoms of the arctic winter
which proud man must not dare to
brave, which hunts him out of the ice
kingdom as merciIessly as he hunts its
furred and feathered creatures, had set
in. So the ship heade homeward, and
one day late in September she sailed up
the Humber, with a garland hanging
from the masthead, in true whaler
fashion. Spectator.

A Novel Phase of the Show Business

In the days when Louis Philippe was
doing all he )uld to secure popularity
there used to be story of a Partisan
pamin who offered for a trifie to show
the king to party of travelling English
and to get him to sing the "Marsell-
Iaise." The young citizen accomplished
his purpose by bringing his party under
the windows of the Tuileries and shout
ina, Z" VlUe Lc ROi," wherenPon a little
crowd soon assembled; the king came
on the balcony to acknowledge the 10y
aItv of his subjects the gamln then
struck up the Marsaillaise, " the crowd
ioined. and finally the king himself IN
toned q verse. Mr.. Cook, if what We
read be true. is happy enough to be able
to tnrD the pope to good account III
much the same way. A party Of Eng
Iish tourists under Mr.. Cooks charge
lately, it is said, visited Rome, and
among other interesting ruins were en-
abIed to see the pope. An audiance oi
his holiness was procured for the eXcur-
sionists; each person was spoken to gra.
ciously, and the whole party were
blessed in common and in Latin. This
is quite a new development Of the sys-
TEN of tourists tickets. II we can have
for a moderate sum 80 many days "l
foreign travel, including hotel charges
and an interview with the pope, or "lti
the temporal sovereign of country
the temptation to all of US who love the
great Will become irresistible. One Is
curious to know how the system would
work in case of rivalry. Suppose
competitor who could sell tickets IN
cluding an interview with King Victor
Emanuel which would prove the more
attractive, pope or king? We may eau
tiou our readers who are planning
visit to the Philadelphia exhibition not
to pay any additional charge for inter
views with President Grant. These
sbouId 90 for nothing in the price Of
tbo ticket. On certain days Of each
week the president is q free; there is
no charge for seeing and speaking to
him. But kings and Popes are differ
ent. and ought to count III the value of

How Paris is Painted.

1t would astOnish some OF our old
house painters of Baltimore if they
could witness the manner in which the
painters of Paris climb over the fronts
of those six and seven-story houses, and
paint them from roof to door sill with
out the use of ladder, scafold or any
other wooden continuance either for
themselves or their paint pots. One
man, without any assistance, can paint
the entire front of one of these tall
houses in two or three days. Directly
opposite our quarters a six-stOTy build
ing, fronting about eight feet, is under
going a complete renovation, and the
painting of the entire walls has been
accomplished by two youths, apparently
not over nineteen years of age. They
are each provided with rope about an
inch in diameter, extending from the
apex of the roof to the pavement, on
which knots, one foot apart, are made
throughout its entire length. By means
of an apparatus with straps, clamps and
hooks, to which is appended beard on
which they sit, and stirrups to rest the
feet i'll, which are strapped to their legs,
they move up and down the rope with
great rapidity and apparent ease. They
move the clamps from knot to knot, and
without changing the position of the
rope, are enabled to PAINT about six feet
on either side of them. Their smaller
bushes are stuckin little loops appended
to the seat, and the paint-Pot is suspen-
ded by a smaller rope, on which it is
fastened by a spring of some kind, and
is raised or lowered with ease as they
may desire it. Long practice has given
them great agility, and they seem to
move up and down and pirouette and
oscillate along the front with a great
deal more ease than if they were on
ladders. They use brushes for most of
their painting nearly double the size of
those used in America, and make rapid
progress with the work. HOuse-paint-
ing in Paris is a very extensive business,
as periodical renovation of the houses
is rendered imperative by law, no one
being allowed to disfgure a neighbor-
hood by presenting stained and disfg-
ured walls. The houses being all of
soft cream-colored sandstone, many of
the finer structures, instead of being
painted, are redressed by the stOne-cut-
ter, and come out, after undergoing the
process of scraping and scrubbing as if
fresh from the quarry. In alluding to
the amount of work these lads perform
in day, it should be understood that
they commence work at six o'clock in
the morning and stop at seven o'clock
in the evening, twelve hours being a
days work among the mechanics in
Paris Cor. -RnLtfallOrR American

Of Interest to Cofee-Drinkers.

a late NUMBER OF the New YORK Even
ing Post contains long a carefully
written article on the coffee crop abroad
and the probably advance in the price
of the stimulating berry. From the
article we learn that the crop of this
year will probably be inadequate to
supply the constantly increasing de-
mand, the supplies on hand being
smaller than they have been, in this
month, for years before. The crop in
Brazil is much better than it was at first
reported to be; but planters there made
so much from the sale of last years
crop that they have evinced an inten-
tion of holding back the supplies this
year, and waiting for an advance in
price.
From the same article we learn that
the consumption of coffee in this coun
try has largely increased since 1869.
During the first six months of the
present year the distribution for con-
sumption at the six ports of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Mo-
bile, and New Orleans, was n, ,438 tons.
Observation has shown that Rio coffee
is actually preferred by the working
classes on account of its stronger and
more pungent taste, their palates fail
ing to detect the delicate favor of Java
or Mocha.
In conclusion the article say:
''On one point all importers and large
dealers in coffee agree, and that is the
deleterious character of almost all adul-
terations. Pure ground coffee can very
rarely be purchased, and the compost
tions sold under that name are generally
injurious to health. If it is necessary
to economic in this direction, the gen.
uine should be bought in the berry, in
lesser quantities.
EXCESSIVE USE OF WATER.-In the
manufactures of all kinds, water (very
often iced) is placed within easy reach
of every person, male or female, and the
effect of this constant invitation is seen
in the drinking of what the physicians
must regard as unreasonable amounts.
The food is thereby diluted, and the
stomach is oftentimes chilled below the
temperature of the blood, and by re-
peated drafts may be kept IN this condi-
tion. The processof digestion is il this
way seriously interfered with. A GER
tain amount 60 to 100 OuEces) of water
is required daily for the nutrition of an
average adult but of this total re-
quirement % to 80 ounces are contained
in the so-called solid food, leaving about
sixty ounces to be supplied in some form
of liquid, as tea, coffee, and water. If
this amount is greatly exceeded, it forces
additional and needless work on the or
gsns of excretion.-EIchGnge.
In view of the present high price of
nickel, DR.. Percy, the eminent metaIlur-
gist, proposes to substitute manganese
for it in the preparation of German
silver, and maintains that it is impossi-
bic for the most experienced manipula-
tor to determine the difference, except
chemically. A further article on this
subject, in the Chemical News, indicates
the best method of obtaining manganese
sufficiently pure for the purpose, as also
for refining it and it IS there suggested
that there is nothing to prevent Ture
metal being obtained in large quantity

Pecuniary Value of Eyes, Feet and
Hands.

By dilligent inquiry or acurate inves-
tigatiOn, one may make a very satisfac-
tory estimate of what man is worth,
deprived of some of his senses and shorn
of all his fair proportions. The loss Of
both feet, for example, secures the I'M
fortunate fellow $40 per month. The
loss of both hands and the sight of both
eyes will bring in S25 per month. But
these terrible evidences of patriotic
ardor must have been received between
the 4th of July, 1864, and the Sd of
of June, 1872. To those who, between
March 3, 1865, and June 3, 1872, lost
one hand and one foot, $50 per month
is given, and to those who, between
June 6, 1866, and June 3, 1872, lost the
same members, S15 per month is allowed
So that in some respects, it IS seen, the
ruling prices of hands and feet decline
A man totally and permanently disabled
in both hands between June 6, 1866,
and June 3, 1872, can have S25 per
month. A one-eyed man, who was un-
lucky enough during the same period to
lose the sight of his other eye so as to
require regularly the personal all and
attendance of another person, also can
have S25 per month. And if in the
period last specified a soldier or other
person in the service of the United
States became permanently disabled in
both feet, in one hand and one foot, or
in any other way so as to have become
incapacitated for the performance of
manual labor, but not so totally helpless
as to require the personal aid and at
tentiOn, regularly of any other person, it
is obligatory on the government to pay
him $40 per month, while $15 per month
is giveE to all other persons totally an
and pi rmanently disabled in the same
period, in one hand OF one foot, or other
wise so that their inability to perform
manual labor would be naturally con-
sidered equivalent to the loss of one of
those useful, if not wholly essential
members. After June 4, 1872, the loss
of the sight of both eyes, the loss of the
sight of one eye when that of the other
had been previously lost, the loss of
both hands and both feet, will serve to
give the injured party $31. % per month.
The permanent disabelingof both hands,
or both feet, so that the person is
obliged to have the regular assistance
of another, Will yield the same sum. If
one hand and one foot is gone, or so
impaired as to prevent manual labor,
$24 is given. If one hand OF one foot
is lost, or so badly hurt as to prevent
manual labor, which would be consider
ed, equivalent to the loss of a hand or
foot, S18 per month is allowed. A per-
son who has lost a leg above the knee
so that he cannot use an artificial limb,
can receive $24 per month. The loss of
hearing of both ears is considered to be
worth S13 per month. The pension for
temporary disability is, while it lasts,
at the same rate as provided for per
manent disability.
