THE ORIGIN OF FOUNDING AsYLUMs. 1t
is SAID that ST. Vincent de Paul came to found
the present hospice for foundllngs from az in
cident which occurred one day while walking
through Paris. He saw beggar detormlng
the members Of an infant for the purpose oil
inspiring pity, when this man OF Zeal rushed
forward aud took the suffering child away from
him and carried it to his niece, by whom 1t was
uursed. This was the first touudllng, and 1t
gave to its savior the idea with which his name
is Connected; hence arose the asyums In France,
and especially 10 Paris, devoted to the cause OF
unfortunate babes. Yet the first effect OF the
asylum which he established in Paris was not
10 accordance with the object for which Ii was
designed, for when it became generally known
that such 20 establishment existed 10 the capt.
tai, infants arrived from all quarters OF France,
when transport was less expeditions and com-
modous than now, and tie result Was, owing
to lengthy journeys, inadequate or improper
food, aud exposure, that his hosplce was turn
ed into sepulcher Nccker athrms that nine
out of ten died within two weeks after their ar
rival. The project of st. Vincent de Paul at
first met with an enthusiastic support from the
well-todc people of his parish, but IN course
of time the enthusiasm cooled, the founder s
hands were empty, and his touudhngs suffered
for want of care aud nourishment. At this
juDcure he preached Que Of the most eloquent
sermons of his life, in which he made his hear
ers, who had promised aid in behalf Of aban-
doued children, responsible for their death.
This appeal had the desired effect; means were
promptly furnished, and the work Of charity
was continued. The institution DOW occupies a
handsome site behind the Pantheon, fronting
the Rue Enter. 1t forms group of build
ings, situated Oh high ground, in the midst OF
courts and gardens. 1t Was here the tour was
first introduced

How Gas is MADE.-It must interest us to
know the process Of making al article so ex.
tensively used n our cities, and we publish a
sort of gas catechi-m, which conveys great
deal of important light to the juvenile mind on
this subject:
"How do they make gas 2''
First, they put about two bushels of bitumi
nous coal in long air.tight retort: This retort
is heated red hot when the gas bursts out Of it.,
as you see it burst out OF Jumps Of soft coal when
on the paror fire. The gas passes through pipes.
A ton Of coal will make ten thousand Gu bic feet
of gas. The gas, ss it leaves the coal, Is very
impure.
How do they purify t?'
First, while hot it is run oh into another
building; then it is forced through long, perpen-
dlculsr pipes surrounded with cold water. This
cooS the gas, when great deal of tar condenses
from it, and runs down to the bottom Of the per.
pendicular steam boiler, half full of WOOD laid
crosswise. Then ten thousand streams of cold
water are spurted through the boiler. Through
the mist and rain, and between the wet sticks of
wood, the gas passes, coming out washed and
ceansed. The ammonia condenses, joins the
water, and falls to the bottom.
What ne1tT
Well, next the gas is purified. It is passed
through watts of lime and oxide of iron, which
take out the carbonic acid and ammonia
What neXtW
The gas is now pure. It is passed through the
big station meter, then through the mains and
pipes, till it reaches the gas jets in our room.
Then it burns, while you all scold because it
don't burn better.

THE HEBREW PASSOVER. yesterday even
ing at sunset the Hebrew Feast Of Passover was
commenced and will continue eight days. The
feast is held 10 commcmoration of the deliver
ance from bondage of the Israelites 10 Egypt.
and is one of the greatest holidays of the He
brew year. Many customs, transmitted through
ages, are still adhered to by Israelites and prac-
tced during Passover. Among them is that Of
eating only uulcavened bread from the first to
the eighth day. This is to bring to mind that
the hosts Of Israel bauished by Pharaoh car
ried with them the bread which had not yet fer
mented and baked it unleavened 10 the desert
1t is also customary to eat bitter herbs either
the root or stem of the horseradish as a re-
minder OF the bitter and trying time of 1sraeps
bondage
ln almost al well-reguiated Hebrew house
holds, on the first night of the feast the family
gather around the board; the senior member
reads the history of Israels persecution from
the tune of Abraham all eat unleavened bread
aud drink of wine; and the home service ends
with the singing of the song OF Solomon. Dur
ing the service child ia made to ask: "Why
do we eat unleavened bread tonight and leav-
cned bread on other nights?" Whereupon the
senior replies by recitipg the chapter commenc-
ing Slaves were We to Pharaoh 10 Egypt, but
the Lord our God came n His might and gave
release" Among orthodox Hebrews-and
there are mauy iu the congregations denomi
mated reformed" who observe the orthodox
rites-it is customary at the family service to
have a glass Of wine, plate, &C., and chair
in addition to one for each person present.
This and the opening of the door during the
service is done that the Prophet Isaiah might
return. When all have left the table the plate
aid chair are LETT updlsturbed and the glass of
wine is covered with piece Of unleaveued
bread.

UNHAPPY CoNDITIoN-Th n. 7. World
comments editorially upon the unhappy con-
ditiou of Hindoo lover, who appeared before
magistrate, Mr.. Dosabhoy Framgee, con-
planning that whenever he approached to pay
those delicate attentions peculiar to lovers the
lady proceeded to bite him. He could stand
being "shook," but to be ''chawed' up was
too much for good nature. Mr.. Dosabhoy, who
appears to have been himself one of the
% hoys,' expressed a willingness to release
the young man from his engagement; but alas !!
he had paid sixty five rupees, which the bitter
would no restore, and so the unfortunate lover
was compelled to marry her. The World then
draws veil over the picture; over the coolng
and billing; the young wife seized with glow
of affection in the middle watches of the night,
and proceeding to take whack at her lord s
nose, or his ear, or anything handy. With a
deep feeling the writer Institutes comp.rlson
between couuubial bliss 10 the Uuted States, ,as
described by the poet
'"'Oh, there's not 10 this world happier life
Than to sit by the stove-ppo aud tickle your
10 kiss her warm lips in your moments Of
glee,
Aud twist the cat tail when she jumps on your
knee"
aud the state of that poor Hiudoo. Zone
woman, said he, with good teeth would be
Suhcent to break up an entire camp meeting. .
