this it has large landed estate which eventually
will be valuable. The money that has been bor-

Russian and GERMAN Customs.

There Is a custom, more or less OBJ
served, in Russia, once year, at Easter
tide. After fasting the whole forty days
of Lent, which the Russian processes to
do, he naturally halls with no small
amount of pleasure the day succeeding
that abstemious period. and ''goes i'm
for a few Ratires. He gets up early in
the morning, and, putting a colored egg
in his pocket and a pleasing smile on his
face, sallies forth. He offers the egg to
the first person he meets, who accepts
it, and gives him another in return, and
then the two exchange kisses, On this
day, the Russian is privileged to stop
any one, and offer him or her the eX-
change of an egg with the festal greet
ing; and so a young, good-lOOking fell
low has a good days work before him.
1t is a remarkable fact (and yet, why
should it be?) that two persons of the
same sex rarely happen TO meet on such
a day? 1t is the custom in Germany for
a man who is engaged to girl to salute,
upon making his adieu for the evening,
the whole of the family, beginning with
the mother. Thus, in family circle
embracing half dozen girls, each
having a lover, no less than forty-eight
kisses would have to be given on the oc-
casion of a united meeting; and when
We consider that each lover would give
his own sweetheart ten times as many
kisses as he gave her sisters, the grand
total would outnumber a hundred.

Organisms In the Atmosphere.

A brief record of the studies of Mr..
c. III. Blackley on the connection
between the pollen of grasses and hay
asthma is given in the Quarterly Journal
Of Microscopic Science. The observations
were continued from April to the end
of July. By means of slip of glass
coated with a non-dying liquid, and ex-
posed horizontally, the quantity of
pollen grains present in the air of a
meadow at the breathing level was daily
estimated. The greatest number was
obtained June %, when $50 grains settled
upon surface of a square centimetrr
in twenty-four hours. Sudden diminu-
tions i'm the quantity of pollen were Oc-
casioned by rain, together with a fall in
the temperature. BY the use of kite
strata of atmosphere were examined to
the height of 1000 feet. Pollen was
found to be much more abundant i'm the
upper levels than at the breathing level
the proportion being 10 to l. Fungoid
spores were found in the air in large
quantities. In one experiment. the spores
of cryptogam were too numerous at
the height of i 900 feet to be counted,
but were reckened at rough estimate
to be not less than 30-40,0 900 to the
square inch. By series of experiments
it was proved that these organisms
travel considerable distances through
the air.

Senrfmeutality.

Seftimentality is an element of dis
integration in every work of art into
which it is permitted to enter. If the
books of the Bible had not been free
from it, they would not have lasted till
this day. No piece of sentimental
writing has come down to us from the
far past; and no work of literary or
other art of our own day, no matter how
wide its present vogue, can exist long if
it has this poison in its blood. 1t is
truth that lives, not falsehoOd. We may
look with keen regret upon the fading
away of regulations dear to us; We may
deprecate the lessening acceptance, both
with ourselves and others, of some con-
temporaneous book which had lesson
for us-that once held us by a charm
not altogether sentimental; but the law
is inexorable. The instances which will
occur to the reader of works i'm which
there is the sentimental quality, but
which still have held their own quite
well, and promise a longer life than is
consistent with the foregoing remarks
these apparent exceptions may possibly
prove the rule, for it may be in spite of
their sentimentality, and by reason of
other vital and overpowering qualities,
that they retain the consideration of
mankind. The poison, then, is mere
surface matter-it has not entered the
blood.-iScribRer for Noremter.

MahOmet's Tomb.

A wealthy Arabian merchant has
furnished German journal some inter-
esting information about Mecca. The
Grand Sheriff, he saws, is richer than
his master, the Sultan: he speaks
French, and has French dishes at his
table, and eats on the finest china, but
never uses a knife, fork or spoon. The
furniture of his house is made in the
European style, and comes from Con-
stantinople. Life in Mecca during the
pilgrim season., when there are about
l0O, 900 pilgrims in town, is much more
expensive than at other times; beef is
Sd. pound and bread is 12sd. pound.
The streets are lighted up with pc
troleum, and the expense of lighting is
borne not by the municipality (Which,
however, provides the lantern), but by
each householder. The streets are all
paved, and many of the houses are
seven stories high. There is Postoffice
in the town, which sends letters once a
day to the harbor of Djeddah. Letters
are brought to the houses 10 which they
are addressed, and it is customary to
give the postman plaster (3d) for his
trouble. There is also a photographer
in the town; but no Christian books
are to be found in the booksellers shops
as their sale is not permitted.

Veneered Didmonds.-The enterpris-

"Tne body is of crystal, which is the
hardest and best substance that could
possibly be used for the purpose. Then,
after the crystals are cut in proper
shape, they are put into galvanic
battery. which coats them over with a
liquid, that is made of diamonds which
are too small to be cut and the chip
pings and cuttings that are taken off
of diamonds during the process of
shaping them. Thus all of the small
particles of diamonds that have here
tOfOre been comparatively worthless,
can now, since this great discovery, be
used to produce diamond liquid.n

Writing of the Paris Grand Opera, a
correspondent saws: Louis Philippe 5
Government restored the opera to the
Fine Arts Ministry, and endeavored to
give its managers fair play-that Is, paid
them their grants and allowed them to
carry on their administration as they
thought best; but Napoleon ILL.,, with
his propensity to initiate the proceed
should be included anew among depart
ments of the imperial household. and
for some years the Academy of Music
became focus of jobbery, corruption,
quarrels, and tumults such as had never
been seen or heard of before. Count
Walewski was the chief author of this
state of things. As amiable a man as
he was an intrepid partisan, the Count
absolutely lacked the power to say no
when pretty face besought him; but
he had wit enough to turn this weak
ness to account for political ends, and
while he was Minister of the Household
he bestowed operatie appointments much
as other ministers did State offices, in
recompense for party services. Any
Senator or Deputy who despatched him
a winsome singer with letter of recon-
mendation was sure to obtain an en-
gagement for his protegee, and the con-
sequence v as that the opera soon had a
company three or four times greater
than it required. Comely young ladies
drew fine salaries without ever singing !;
tenors and baritones innumerable were
in the same case, having been recon-
mended by the young ladies or their
political friends: and the orchestra was
filled with undisciplined fiddlers, whom
it was impossible to punish or even re-
buke, because they piled their bow
sticks under the patronage of divers
loyal gentlemen who voted straight at
the Luxembourg or the Palais Bourbon.
So long as Count Walewski remained in
office no harm came of this disorder, for
the Count had a tact all his own for al
laying the fiercest disputes with a little
joke and compliment; but when he
was succeeded by that gruff old soldier,
Marshal Valiant, the least jOcular of
men, the opera became wholly unman-
ageable, and the Emperor ended it by
impatiently cutting it adrift from his
household and decreeing that it should
be governed again by the Fine Arts
Ministers, who, however, received in
structions to meddle with the manager
as little as possible.

Merrily drop the sands.
While the golden hours 80 gaily pass,
Amid rose, and bly,. and soft green grass;
Wherefore 30 eager to turn the glass.
Oh dimpled baby hands?
Glittering, flashing downward,
In the glow Of the April sun.
All sweet white fingers, and sky-blue eyes,
And cheeks as rosy as western skies;
'Tis pity in Youths first Paradise
That the sands SO swiftly rum
Stealing forever downward,
Gray tinging their virgin gold.
Pulses still quiver, and hearts still beat,
But the road grows hard for the tired feet;
Surely the sky had more warmth and heat,
And the sands showed brighter Of old!
Dropping dresrily downward.
The evening is well nigh DER.
The brightest and best the river have crossed
The bolt is shot and the venture lost;
The bark on the last long wave is tossed,
The glass needs TO turn no more.

Defense Of the Eighteenth Century

Philosophy was once supposed to be
the strong point of the eighteenth CEN
tury, but in our time il has been uni
formly represented "a its opprobrium.
Yet we think that a very little refiec-
ton will show the former opinion to be
nearer the mark. The eighteenth CEN
tury has been reproached with want of
reverence, and there is no necessity to
defend the sc0ffing tone in which its
broad conclusions were stated during
its closing decades, and more especially
in France. But long before Frenchmen
began TO mock, Englishmen had begun
TO inquire; and the short memory of
the nineteenth century, which has al
most forgotten even the scandal excited
by the publication of Essays and Rerie,cs,
and has transferred its curiosity to the
mere contemporaneous vagaries of
Bishop Colenso or the benign Phila-
delphism of Dean Stanley, are doubtless
quite oblivious, if they ever knew, that
more tLan hundred years since a
bishop of Peterborough sought, in the
words of Hallam. to establish systemat-
ically the principles of moral right in
dependently of revelation, and that it
was another prelate, the better known
Warburton, of Gloucester, who affirmed
for the first time that the State must
consider religion in reference, not to
revelation, but to expediency; and
should lend its favor to creeds, not ac-
cording to what it considers their truth,
but solely out of regard to their public
utility. The nineteenth century is
often pleased to remember that it re-
pealed the Test Act, admitted Roman
Garha1ia- inf pariianant an1 fhrQW
open the doors OF the legislature even
TO Jews But it is obvious that the
course thus adopted was but the appli-
firmly grasped and boldly propounded
by its predecessor. "Al England"
wrote Hume in 1749, on his return from
Italy, sis in feTment on account of
DIR. Middleton's Free Inquiry" and, a
few years later, the publication of
Black The Confessional, which
was i'm effect an attack on the subscrip-
ton of creeds and articles, excited
perfect commotion, though by no means
one of general hostility. The matter
was brought before the House of Com
mons by means of petition drawn up
against the articles and signed by 200
clergymen. The observation Of Gibbon
concerning the Thirty-nine Articles,
(which more subscribe 10 than read and
more read than understand" is familiar
TO everybody. But it is not, perhaps,
so widely known that they were de-
nounced in equally vigorous, if less
epigrammatic, language, by persons
considered orthodox, in Parliament
itself, at the same epoch. So promi-

Iron Columns in Buiidings.-By a re-
cent invention, the principle of the
fire. proof safe is applied to the fOrma-
ton of iron pillars or columns in archi-
lecture. As in the case of the common
iron pillar in use, a solid cast-irOn col
umn sustains the whole weight of the
superstructure, but, in this improved
arrangement, there is outside of the
solid column thin cast-irOn shell, and
the space intervening between the
outer shell and the inner column is
filed with plaster-Of-Paris, the nom
conducting properties of which are well
known. No weight is allowed to rest
on the outer shell or the nOn-cOnductOr
that is used as filling, their only mis-
sion being to protect from the effects
of heat the real support of the building
the inner column. The plan is to
have these columns surmOunted by an
iron I girder, which is inclOsed in a
fire proof casting of a similar nature,
and the junction between the pillar
and the girder is so formed that only
the protected portion of the one
touches the protected portion of the
other, while the casing forms a tight
joint, thus making the fire-prOOf armOr
complete. The simplicity and effici-
ency of this plan are obvious. These
columns, it is stated, are intended to
take the place of the ordinary iron
columns in ornamental fronts of build
Ings, as well as the interior of large
warehouses where such supports are
needed.

Accordip1 to Winkler there are A

According to Winkler there are at
present four aluminium manufactures,
which produce 35 cwt. per annum. OF
this quantity 20 cwt. goes to France
and Is to England. Aluminium Is also
made in Berlin. The price for a num-
Der of years has been S12 to S15 per
pound. 1t is not probable that it will
be produced cheaper than that. This
fact, with its uuchangeability and
lightness, being three times lighter
than copper, four times lighter than
silver, and seven or eight times lighter
than gold, renders it excellently adap-
ted TO coin. especially as it Is easily
coined.
