The Altitude at Which Men Can Live.

A CONTRIBUTOR to Chambers Journal
gives the following facts relating to the
altitude at which men can live: "In
July, 1872, he and Mr. Coxwen assembled
in balloon to the enormous height of
3S, 900 feet. Previous to the start Mr..
Glashier's pulse stood at rs beats min
ute, CoxwelPs at "a. At $4,000 feet the
pulse of the former was at "a, that of the
latter at 100. At 10000 feet Cashiers
hands and lips were quite blue, but not
his face. At $1,000 feet he heard his
heart beating, and his breathing became
oppressed; at $4,000 feet he became
senseless, Notwithstanding which the
aeronaut, in the interest of science, went
up another 5000 feet, till he could no
longer use his hands, and had to pull the
strings of the valve with his teeth.
AerOnauts who have to make no exer-
lions have, of course, a great advantage
over members of the Alpine Club, and
those who trust their legs; even at 13, 900
feet these climbers feel very uncom-
Portable, more so in the Alps, it seems,
than elsewhere At the Monastery of St.
Bernard, S,117 feet high, the monks
become asthmatic, and are compelled
frequently to descend into the Valley of
the Rhone for-anything but a breath of
fresh air; and, at the end of ten years
service, are obliged to give up their high
living, and come down to their usual
level. At the same time, in South
America there are towns, such as Potosi,
placed as high as the top of Mont Blanc
the inhabitants of which feel no incon-
venience. The highest inhabited spot in
the world is, however, the Buddhist
Cloister of Hanle, in Thibet, where
twenty lone priests live at an altitude of
10000 feet. The brothers Schlagintweit,
when they explored the glaciers of the
lbi-Gamin in the same country, encamped
at $1,000 feet, the highest altitude at
which European ever passed the night.
Even at the top of Mont Blanc, Prof
Tyndal's guides found it very unpleasant
to do this, though the professor himself
did not confess to feeling so bad as they.
The highest mountain in the world is
Mount Everest (Himalaya), 29,O03 feet,
and the condor has been seen 'winging
the blue air. 500 feet higher The air,
by-the-by, is not blue, or else, as De
Saussure pointed out, the distant noun
tains which are covered with snow would
appear blue also;' it's apparent color
being due to the reflection of light.
What light can do, and does, is marvel
GUS; and not the least is it's power of
attraction to humanity" ..5~

JUDGMENT OF Observation-Disclosures
Thomas, the distinguished founder and
conductor of the famous "Thomas Or
chestra," New York, ought to know as
well as any one the opinions entertained
by musicians respecting musical instru-
ments. He declares that they generally
agree with him in regarding the MASON
& HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS as much the
best instruments of this class in the
world. 1t is not, therefore, surprising
that they are now largely exported to
Europe, commanding higher prices there
than the instruments of their best makers.

have been made by these villainous con-

A Short History of Pennsylvania.

DEFORE it was taken possession Of by
kD the Europeans the territory now call
ed Pennsylvania was occupied by various
tribes of Indians of which the chief were
the Delawares, Six Nations, and Shaw
nees. et
In 1861 King Charles the Second granted
Pennsylvania to William Penn and gave it
the present name.
In 176O the second State constitution
was adopted
The Delawares, SO called by the whites
from the river on whose banks they were
first met, and where they chiefly resided,
were the most numerous nation in the
province. They called themselves Lenni
Lenape, or the original people. They
were also sometimes known by the name of
Algonquins.
The Shawnees, portion of different
nation, were settled near Wyoming, and
some of them on the Ohio below Pitts
burg.
The celebrated Five Nations seemed
originally to have owned northwestern
Pennsylvania. The onopdagos, Cayugas,
Oneidas, senecas and Mohawks first COM
posed this remarkable and powerful con-
federacy. To this were subsequently, ad-
dcd the Tuscaroras after which they were
called the Six Nations,
On the oath of October, 1852, William
Penn arrived at his new province in the
Welcome. He first landed at New Castle,
in the present State of Delaware. AT
this time Delaware also belonged to Penn,
by grant Of the Duke of York, the kings
brother, but did not long continue connect
ed with Pennsylvania.
In 1867 the southern line of the State
was finally run and settled by Mason and
Dixon. af
In September, 1774, the first Congress
met at Carpenters Hall, in Philadelphia.

SnOOzer Sprinkles the Street.

A PHILADELPHIA man living on
IN Spruce street went home one night
recently filed up to the collar with benzine.
Feeling rather swarm for the season."
Mr.. Snoozer, for it was Snoozer, took off
his coat and boots, put on his slippers, and
getting the garden hose went out to sprink-
le the street, so as to make things cool
around there. Now, it takes a quick,
discerning, calculating eye and steady
hand to properly manipulate hose in the
daytime At night the difficulties are
multiplied. But Mr.. Snoozer's mind was
simply on the subject of sprinkling. He
gave the hydrant wrench several twists, and
had on full head. After few crackles
and spirits, steady stream was let fly right
on the boots and white linen pants of
man with a red rosebud ON the left lapel of
his coat, who was coming up from call
in Fourth street. The man stopped sud-
denly in surprise, and SnOozer, noticing
the nishap, in the true spirit of thorough
bred gentleman, advanced to render an
apology, when the nozzle was turned
quarter of an inch to the larboard, and
poured stream right against the stran-
gers immaculate bosom. The latter might
have got red-hot at this treatment, and
showed fight, were it not impossible to do
so under the cooling influence brought to
bear, and to avoid further disaster, the
rosebud and linen pants popped around
the corner into an alley. Aa'
Mr.. Snoozer was then proceeding quietly
to cool off the bricks of the pavement,
when gentleman, with two ladies, two
shawls, and one sore boil on his arm, walk
ed up from Vine-street beer garden. To
prevent another catastrophe, the hoseman
turned the squirting apparatus toward the
open street, without the least intention of
pouring about four gallons of river water
down the backs of lady and gentleman
who were riding by in tilted-top car
riage. The gentleman, in words usually
expressed in print in dashes, told of his
displeasure, and uttered threats against
Snoozer's life. Mr.. Snoozer said it was
purely accidental, that he was willing to
take it all back-that there was no sense
in crying over spilled water While he
thus engaged in an explanation, he was
perfectly oblivious of the nozzle in his
hand. He was as innocent as an unborn
babe of knowing that stream, running at
the rate of forty knots an hour, was sailing
through the open window of second.story
bedroom in the adjoining house, where
man and his wife were sleeping. He never
dreamed of such thing until female
shrieks we're heard and a man in white
raiment appeared at the window and fired
off seven shots from revolver.
Then Mr.. Snoozer concluded he would
shut off steam But he had mislaid the
wrench. He, however, kept the gathering
mob at bay until his wife rushed out, haul
ed him into the house, and prevented riot
and bloodshed. No arrests.

old lady who had bought the dc 6ege in the

Before l could get breath to reply, the
man who had purchased the two cents
worth of snuff made his appearance.
"Sir,' said he, with dignity, "the snuff
you sold me this morning is villainous
black pepper, and my wife has nigh killed
herself with taking it Sir, her nose is
nigh as large as turkeys egg, and grow
ing larger every moment"

l sprang over the counter, nearly knock
ing down cousin Harry in the doorway, and
never stopped until was safe on the sofa
by the side of sympathizing cousin Jennie.
Harry told me afterward that my days
shop-keeping cost him fifty dollars, beside
losing forever the custom of the two pretty
girls who had brought the butter; and
highly offending the old de bege woman and
her red-haired daughter, Sally, including
the illustrious Sam Jackson.
