Prussia in l849, and in Hanover in
1850. In all these cases the facts were
chronicled as having occurred at the
time, but they we're not supposed to have
any relation mutually. But when these
phenomena were more clesely observed
by men of science more accurate de.
tails were given. Thus, it was found
that in the little town of Przemysl, in
Galicia all the jackdaws took fight from
the streets into the country on the 26th
Of September, 1872, and that cholera
broke out there two days afterward. On
the 10th of November these birds re-
tine, and by that time the last case of
the disease had been recorded. The
same results had been observed in South
ern Germany last year. Both Municl
and Nuremberg were visited by this epi-
demic in the autumn, and in these towns
it was observed not merely that the
larger birds fed from the environs into
the open country, but that sparrows and
swallows deserted the town. 1t was a
repetition of the article in every sailors
creed-that rats desert a sinking ship.
The inhabitants of Nuremberg looked
with joy for the return of the sparrows,
who seemed to have arrived as soon as
the danger disappeared. Foreign physi-
clans seem to think the state of the at
mosphere when the poison is in the air
has direct effect upon the birds, who
instinctively fly from it. But the whole
phenomenon seems capable of much
more simple solution 1t is well known
thing that during the getting in of the
harvest, sparrows and the kind of birds
that are found in the neighborhood of
towns fly of to the fields. This may be
tested much nearer home than Germany
or Western Prussia. When the harvest
has been reaped they would naturally
return to the shelter of streets and
houses. Even swallows, though they do
not seek the corn fields for grain, find
the insects which they feed upon in the
fields, and these birds also return to
their town quarters to reassemble for
their winter fight. The simple people
of Nuremburg: and Bavaria probably
accepted as an omen an event which
happened to be coincdent with the arri-
val of the dreadful epidemic, but which,
in fact, was of annual occurrence and
had no real connection with it.

Madame vIardot's Tooth.

Madame Pauline Viardot, the ever.to
aforementioned creatrix of Fides, in
Meyerbeer's Prophete, had one of hel
incisive teeth in her upper jaw longer
than the rest of her pearly jewels, which
somewhat damaged the beautiful expires
sion of her physiognomy. A few even
ings before the production of the Proph.
etc, during one of the general rehearsals
of that opera, Meyerbeer went into her
room in the theater, and advised heI
that he could not consent to let her sing
Fides."
How so2' exclaimed the artist, stu
pefed at such dreadful revelation.

beautiful head to Herr Mulkeistrom. M.

a magic dexterity removed at once the

verance, privation and economy. NJ.
Maxine du Camp contends that there is
not city in the world where the people
work more than in Paris, in spite Of the
100000 idlers on the boulevards, the 1870
concert cafes, the 238 public halls, the
$4,000 wine shops, and the 1926 billiard
boards. The workmen here are paid
once fortnight, on the Saturday. The
week that follows is invariably dull one
in the shops, since the majority of men
pay their devotions to st. Lundi until
their pockets become empty, and they
are forced to return to the bench to re-
plenish them. This is fact which
should be borne in mind by those who
indulge in invidious comparisons be-
tween the French ouvrier and the Eng
lish workman.

rne working People of Paris.

Some interesting details about the
denizens of Paris, says the correspond
ent of the London Era, are furnished by
thai in5efatigable explorer, NJ. Maxine
Du Camp. 1t appears then, that even
in this gay city there are no less thsn
sl6, 900 working people; one half of these
are women-a fact that proves that the
fair sex of Paris are not lazy. The rag
picking profession has fallen off since
the Comhiune, and nov numbers only
5000. There are seven large houses
whose commerce consists entirely in the
purchase and sale OF old postage stamps.
We have also 81 dealers ia false hair,
and ll5S bsrbers and hairdressers, who
in 1872 sold no less than 10000 kilo-
grammes of chignons-a kllogramme is
eaaal 70 two pounds. This article of
modern toiiette,R ssys the writer, =" is
becoming so difficult TO ind
that agents have been sent out
to China to buy up the tails Of
the poor" OF flower makers there are
5000, and owing to the Imperial rage for
yiolets, the number Of that political en-
blem sold last year ross 70 giZ mi lions.
The employers or patrons hgure at oS,-
600, and some idea of their honorabllity
may be gathered from the fact that there
we're only 1862 bankruptcies and lnsol-
vencies last year. Among the so-called
liberal professions are 1878 learned and
literary men; 942O sculptors, painters
and actors-of the latter 2O5s are ladies.
A touching fact among this sea OF hg-
ures is that, whereas the literary gentle
men have only 800 domestics, they sup
port by the work of their brain no less
than 225s persons, chiefly parents. Of
doctors we have lZ26. Fhich is about

Air Cures.

A correspondent of the Chicago Post
and Mail writes: THE air cures of the
Alps are an important element among
the attractions of Switzerland. You
find them scattered through the country
at different attitudes to accommodate
all invalids. The healing virtues seem
to reside between the elevations of two
and six thousand feet for the majority.
Some constitutions gain benefit at still
greater attitudes, even up to 5000 feet
After heightened sojourn on the nights
the return to the ordinary level must be
made by degrees. The hotel here at
Frohn Alps, which is an air, milk and
whey cure combined, is full of Swiss
Germans. Their capacity for eating, or
rather drinking, is quite marvellous
They begin the day at six o'clock
with from one to three large glasses
of milk warm from the COW or
goat. At eight comes the usual Swiss
breakfast of bread, butter, coffee and
honey; dinner at noon, coffee and bread
at four, warm milk again at six, hearty
supper at half-past seven, and between
nine and ten you see many finishing off
with a night-cap of wine or beer. Oh,
for their livers and digestive organs
The life in the open air, which is the
important part of the cure, may account
for this constant imbibing The Swiss
aud many German doctors have great
faith in the curative powers of this
mountain air so near the glaciers. 1t is
particularly beneficial for nervous dis
eases, worn.out brain workers, weakened
constitutions, and for those who are suf-
fering from poverty Of blood and pull
monary difficulties. The more climbing
the patient can do, according to his
strength, the more rapid is his improve
