Snow Avalanches.

A Nevada newspaper speaking of the
avalanches of snow which have been 50
destructive of life and property this win
ter says: Fa
The purely sliding avalanches, or snow
slides, are such as occur in dry or merely
moist snow, while rolling avalanches take
place when the snow is wet or sufficient
ly moist to form into balls by rolling.
The avalanches that occurred in Virginia
City were ofthe genuine rolling descrip-
tion-the kind most dreaded and .most
destructive in the valleys of the Alps.
A very small beginning when the snow
is in the proper condition may end in
destructive avalanche. A ball of snow
10 larger than mans head started high
up on the side of Mount Davidson might
have swept away several houses at the
foot of the mountain. The fearful force
of the avalanche was shown here when
one broke into house and killed two
men and buried five persons, who were
rescued with much difficulty. sAfurther
illustration of the terrible force and de-
structive powers of the avalanche is to
be found in the fact that twenty-eight
Cinnamon were killed by one that fell
near Genoa. sHl -'st. 1et ~ ~
As we have said, small ball Of snow
started high up on the slope of Mount
Davidson would result in a genuine ava
lanche.r In rolling a distance of fifty
yards in the moist snow the small ball of
snow would become four or five feet in
diameter, when it would burst, and each
piece of it would an instant after form a
ball of large size; these in turn would
explode as soon as they had acquired a
certain weight and velocity, and a mo-
ment after there would be hundreds and
thousands of these balls in motion, all
bounding down the steep side of the
mountain. While hundreds of these are
exploding or just forming, other hun
dreds are of full size, and are picking
up rocks, dirt and all manner of rubbish,
which become involved in the grand
downward rush. Towards the lower part
of their course the balls become 10 nu-
merous that they bound and clash togeth-
ef 80 often that they arc broken before
they, acquire any great size, and the
whole avalanche Is then plunging, slid
| ing mass of snow. The avalanche which
Knocked two houses to pieces and buried
five persons started but few hundred
yards above where the houses stood. 1t
started at bunch of rocks which pro-
jected fifteen or twenty feet above the
general surface of the slope of the noun
tain. On these rocks the snow had fall
en- and, accumulated to the depth of
about three feets hanging in places as snow
is seen TO do on the caves of house.
From one of these rocks fell bunch of
snow, which began to roll down the hill,
and the resultwasa destructive avalanche.
.Dpubtless the avalanche which killed
two men started in much the same way.

COlOring for Wearing Fabrics.

The fact that number of cases have
occurred in which colored wooden gar
ments, worn next the skin, have pro-
duced peculiar kind of poisoning, has
been much discussed by ,the German
press. 1t appears that violet gray wool
en- stockings, after having been worn
less than six hours, caused redness of
the skin and permanent pustules, in
connection witk feverish symptoms and
constipation. The same results followed
after the stockings had been treated with
boiling water. Similar symptoms were
produced by gray woolen shirts next the
skin, and by the red binding of others.
The opinion of DR.. Hagar, of Berlin, is
that the analine colors are, as rule,
poisonous in their action upon the skin,
as, he asserts, has also been established
in regard to coraline. He recommends,
therefore, that woolen garments colored
with analine dyes should not be worn
next the skin, and suggests, as a test,
that a portion of the wool be heated to
boiling in test tube, with so per cent.
of alcohol, and if the latter acquires a
red, violet, or violet blue tint, the color
ing matter is suspicious.
RoCHEFoRT is evidently insane. Twice
recently he endeavored to commit sui.
eide, failing which he has married. The
third attempt is usually successful.

A Free and Easy Watering Place.

Berek is on the French ooast,a short
distance from Boulogne. The fish
women set the fashion, and the wealth..
est visitors easily follow it. A single
thin garment, falling from the neck to a
little below the knee, and pair OF gay
sly-worked slippers, constitute the entire
costume at Berek. Stockings are un-
known, or, at least, if any lady appears
with stockings she is recognized as a
newcomer. 1t may require twenty-four
hours for her prudery to wear off at
the end of that time she will appear in
as scanty dress as the rest. About
half of them, indeed, dispense even with
the slippers, and one sees groups play
ing croquet, the gentlemen clad in
snowy linen and wearing red or blue
caps, and the ladies in hats and short,
bright-colored skirts, but neither en-
numbered by shoes or stockings. Often
times, however, the wind blows the dry
sand for miles over the beach, and to
prevent this from getting into the eyes,
glasses or spectacles with wire-gauze
frames are worn, which on young and
fair faces have dron effect. One would
think also that the same sand would
sting the Gly-white ankles and calves
which are SO freely exposed, but if so the
effect is not severe enough to induce
their owners to don the stockings.-

The Battle OF the Colleges.

Peace hath her victories. The latest
in New Jersey, where, for month past,
an lnternecine and intercollegiate war
has impended between Rutgers and
Princeton Colleges on account of a can
non which "went off +" between two days
in company with some Rutgers students,
from the Princeton campus to the campus
OF Rutgers. On either side the senior
and the sophomore ragged, the junior
girded himself for battle, and the fresh
man wrote home to his parents and his
girl, telling them in the deadest possible
language that there was gore in the near
future into which he should rush red
handed, and inclosing photographs for
distribution in case he should fall in the
struggle. Into this sulphurous atmos-
phere the faculties of both institutions
plunged, reckless of the sophomore's
rage and the sanguinary temper of the
freshman, and introduced series of reso-
luhons. They calmly traced the history
of the gun, and on both sides agreed it
should be restored unspiked, unbu'sted,
and unslung. The resolutions were ac-
cepted, grim-visaged war has smoothed
his wrinkled front, and the fierce COM
batants, instead of mounting barbed
steeds to fright the souls of fearful adj
versaries, are to-day capering nimbly III
the recitation rooms to the insinuating
solicitations of the Professor of Greek.
So the white dove of peace returns to

Oar COlOred Cadet.

The only colored cadet now at the
Point is " Flipper." Of the third-class,
and all concede he is getting along finely,
though there are those who believe he
will never graduate. They say no colored
cadet will be allowed to graduate here ;
that he may get as far as the tirst-class,
but there he will be slaughtered. L
do not believe there are any grounds for
such an opinion. The officers are gen
tlemen, so are the professors. They be-
heve merit should be rewarded wherever
found, and nearly all of them speak well
of clipper" He has a light, coffee
colored complexion, and minds his own
business, and he does not intrude his
company upon the other cadets. He
studies hard, and his position of forty
six in his class of eighty-five members
proves what metal he is made of. There
are many old heads here who believe he
will graduate with honor. He is from
Georgia. James Smith, the other colored
cadet from South Carolina, about whom
there was so much talk, and who was
sent home for incompetency, was a dull
scholar, and although he was given
three chances TO retrieve himself where
other cadets get only two, he failed each
time. His particular weakness was
chemistry.-NeecX York IIales.

A Foolish Ambition.

A Paris correspondent writes Since
/ have been residing abroad have come
to the conclusion that an operatic career
is the last one to be chosen by any young
girl, unless she be the possessor of a
perfectly phenomenal voice. The crop
Of weak-throated or harsh toned sopranos
is a superabundant and an Improbable
one. If young girl really wants to go
on the stage (and Punch'S advice to those
about to marry-namely, "Don't !'-is
the best to give and follow on such
occasions), the regular boards offer for
her much fairer opportunity for ulti-
mate success and profit than do those
of the lyric drama. But because Patti
and Nilsson, by dint of actual genius
and great personal beauty, have man
aged ~ achieve great success without
great pl ysical power, every girl who can
trill a ballad or lead choir fancies that
she is born to queen it on the operatic
stage, and to gain thousands nightly by
means of her voice-that is, if she can
only come to Europe to study. Forth
with she comes abroad to gain, il ninety
nine cases out of hundred, only the
disheartening knowledge that all the
musical centers of Europe are crowded
with wouldbe prima-donnas that the
supply far exceeds the demand, and that
her time and money have been alike
thrown away.

Peculiar PeOnle.

4 Boston letter to an Eastern news
paper relates that upon one Of the fash
ionable South End squares of that city
there has lived in swell-front, four
story brick house, until very lately, a
woman who has hired for her servant her
own sister. The latter was treated i'll all
respects as menia, and though the
woman and her husband, having no chill
dren, dined alone when there was no
company in the house, they never per-
mitted the sister to sit with them. Not
only this, but the sister-servant was kept
at work from early till late, and there
was no such thing as leisure for her, or
a particle of the consideration due from
one so nearly related to her Finally
the woman moved out of town, and the
sister determined to find an easier place.
Accordingly she engaged to go to sum-
mer resort as pastry cook III q fashion
able boarding-h house. Now it has trans
pired that her sister and former mistress
has engaged board for the warm season
not only at this very resort, but also at
the very house where her sister is to fur
nish the daily pies and puddings.

ScaIdS and RprnS.

HATS Journal Of Health gives the
following advice on the treatment of
scalds and burns "0n the instant of
the accident, plunge the part under cold
water. This relieves the pain in sec
ond, and allows the hands to become
composed. If the part cannot be kept
under water, cover it with dry -four, an
inch deep or more. Ia many instances
nothing more is needed after the -four
simply let it remain until it falls off,
when new skin will be found under
In severer cases, while the part injured
is under water, simmer a leek or two in
an earthen vessel, with half their bulk of
hogs lard, until the leeks are soft, then
strain through a muslin rag. This makes
a greenish colored eminent, which,
when cool, spread thickly on a linen
cloth and apply If to the injured part.
If there are blisters, let out the water.
When the part becomes feverish and I'M
comfortable, renew The ointment, and a
rapid, painless cure will be the result, If
the patient, il the meanwhile, lives ex-
clusively ON fruits, coarse bread, and
other light, loosening diet"

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands
who die annually, large proportion are
destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard
either on the part of the sufferer, or his
parents, of the simplest laws of nature.
Such being the case-and figures cannot
misrepresenH .facts-the conclusion is
that were the causes of intemperanoe, its
kindred vices, and disregard of natu-
raj laws, removed, the average length of
the human lifetime would be extended
proportionately. What agent most rap
idly, harmleSsly and certainly will
eradicate these vices, or the tendency to
them, is the question which has been as
thoroughly and persistently agitated as
has the search for the Philosophers
stone. The discovery has been made by
DIR. Joseph Walker, whose widely known
VINEGAR BrTrERs arc accomplishing
wonders which the old fogy doctors
never dreamed of. Try them and judge
for yourself, as thousands are doing all
over the country.
