the Andes, not a sound is audible; not the
hum of an insect, nor the chirp of bird
nor the roar of the puma, nor the music OF
running waters. Mid.ocean is never so
silent. You can almost hear the globe
turning on its axis. There was a time
when the monarch deigned to speak, and
spoke with voice of thunder, for the
lava on its sides is an evidence of volcanic
activity.
But ever since the morning stars sang
together over mans creation Chimborazo
has sat in sullen silence, satisfied to look
from his throne of clouds DER half the
world" There is something very sugges-
tive in this silence of Chimborazo. 1t was
once full of noise and fury, it is now a
completed mountain, and thunders no
more. The reason we are SO noisy
is that we are full of wants, we are
unfinished characters. Had we perfect
fullncss of all things, the beatitude of be-
ing without a want, we should lapse into
the eternal silence of God.
Cotopaxi Qs,SS0 fceU is slumbering

rumbling thunders, and cloud of smoke
rises from the crater at the top. Some
times at night this smoky column looks
like pillar of fire. Imagine Vesuvius
on the summit of Mount Blanc, and you
have the altitude of Cotopaxi-most beau
tiful and most terrible of volcanoes.
From the summit of Antisania, another
of these lordly mountains, higher than
Cotopaxi, enormous streams of hardened
lava descended-the testimony of terrible
commissions and eruptions in earlier ages
One of these lava streams is ten miles
long and 500 feet deep!-with an average
slope of fifteen degrees. "Itis magniti-

Baggage.Smashing.

The manner in which travellers baggage
is handled at most of our railway stations
is disgrace to the railway system of
which we boast so much and in general so
justly. 1t will fill any impartial specta-
tor with Indignation to stand near the
baggage room in almost any depot in this
and other cities as train is being made
up or unloaded, and witness the reckless if
not Intentionally destructive way in which
trunks, large and small, without respect
to character, condition or contents, are
thrown from car to platform, or from
truck to car, or from store room to truck,
with waste of muscular power in giving
them the customary height and velocity
such as is rarely exhibited by laborers in
any other calling. If the baggage-han
oilers were paid by their companies &C
cording to the number of trunks which
they dashed to pieces or damaged, they
could hardly show more zeal and success
full devotion to that end than they do now.
So common is this abuse in the handling
OF passengers property that the long-suf.
fering American has accepted il as inevi
table, and tries to make the best of it by
jocular remarks. The newspapers also at
frequent intervals contain humorous allu-
sions to the evil. One praises the skill
with which an accomplished baggage-man
will crack open trunk at a single throw.
Another tells about the CONSERVATION and
grief of baggage hurler on finding
among the arrivals a trunk made of boiler
iron, heavily riveted and iron-bound,
bearing the defiant inscription, s.SAels
stand It," Another announces forth
coming tournament of baggage smashers,
at which prize offered by trunk makers

Daily Habits of Victor EmmanueI.

A gentleman who signs himself "Fer-
ruccio" has seen fit to supply the French
public with some details concerning the
daily life of the King of Italy. 1t would
appear that His Majesty is all early riser,
generally getting up at five O'Clock in the
morning, when he takes a cup of black
coffee and a stroll in the garden. At
eight, on Thursdays and Sundays, the
King presides over the Council of Minis
tiers, the council usually lasting an hour.
Aftcrward, Victor Emmanuel grants the
audiences he may have promised. At
twelve one is glad to learn that His Maj
esty breakfasts, though but lightly" his
only serious repast' being supper.
At state banquets it is we'll known that
the King never touches mouthful, but
sits immovable, with his two hands on the
hilt Of his sword, talking to his neighbor,
who is thus condemned to lose his own
dinner as we'll; but the charm of His Maj
esty's conversation and the exquisite
urbanity of his manner are held to be am
pie compensation for SO slight an incon.
venience.
Victor Emmanuel has gradually accus-
toned himself to pass the greater part of
the winter in Rome; but he seldom occu-
pies the Quirinal According to the Sig
nor {" Ferruccio," he had not been long in
that palace before he discovered a trap
door in his bedroom. 1t communicated
with vast gallery, in which the King
and his attendants walked for twenty min
utcs without finding N outlet. Itseemed,
however, to lead toward the castle of St.
Angelo. His Majesty declined to inves-
tigate the matter, and ordered the trap
door to be bricked up. Soon afterward he
discovered secret door in the wall, which
communicated with narrow staircase
leading up to the roof. 1t, too, was
bricked up, but since this second discov-
cry we are informed that whenever His
Majesty sleeps at the Quirinal two huge
black dogs also sleep at the foot of the
royal bed. These faithful servitors have
taken to heart Mr.. Carlylc's admonitions
against vocality,' and have learned that
silence is the eternal duty of dogs. They
obey no one but the King, never bark,
and would strangle, without any parley-
ing, the first person who entered the room.

Bottled Bumble.BeeS.

No man can tell when boy of nine or
ten years is going to break out in new
spot. A Cass farm lad, who has been
noted for his quiet dcmeanor and steady
ways, all at once took a notion to hunt
humble bees. He armed himself with a
wide-mouthed bottle and tramped over
lots and fields and entrappcd many a luck
less singer. After securing them he had
no further pleasure except to see them
crawl up and down the sides of the bottle
and whack their stingers into each other.
He was out early yesterday morning, gath
ering in the bees while they were be-
numbed, and when he entered the house
for breakfast he had about thirty great,
overgrown, wicked-looking humble bees.
They were packed into the bottle heads
and tails and other ways, and the father,
catching sight of them, spoke up:
''See here, boy, don't want any more
of this fooling around after bees. After
breakfast you heave that bottle out doors,
and don't bring another bee around this
house,.
The boy placed the bottle behind the
dining-rOom stove. There was a gentle
fire, and the bottle had no cork. The
family had got through with the first cup Of
coffee, when they heard something going ::
"Jing-ring-ding- ong-long
The fire warmed the bees up, and they
left the bottle to warm the family up. 1t
was business affair, and the bees went
in to do their best. The boy slid out at
the first alarm, but the old folks tlourished
their napkins until sliding out would
have done no good. The old gent got a
sting on his left ear and another on his
head at the same second, while the old
lady was punctured in the shoulder and
yelled Murdcr!' with all her might.
" Maui maui EMP shouted the old
gent, waving the butter dish around and
getting another needle into his neck.
Police! Pollce!' squealcd the old
lady, diving under the table as big bee
settled on the lobe of her ear.
1t was very even fight for a while, but
then the man got down cellar, and the
woman flew for a bedroom, the ones
deep bass voice shouting: "Gimme the
camphor, Betsyv' and the other squeak
ing out IF you love me 60 for doc
tort"
No one knows what became of the boy.
He is reported as missing. Seated under
the swaying head of some stunted thorn
tree on the commons, he looks longingly
toward home, but he realizes that his re-
ception will be red-hot.-Detron Free

An Episode in New Jersey Central.

There is weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth among the unlucky in
vestors in the so-called coal stocks which
have lately been so severely depressed in
Wall street. Among the victims is a wild
ow, who has heretofore felt herself rich
beyond the possibility of want. Her hus-
band was shrewd real-estate owner, who
left at his decease, two years ago, hand
cligibly situated. 1t has been his favorite
all time, and that fluctuations in value
would regulate themselves, and the proba-
bility of increase equaled the possibility
of decrease. However, his fortune was
left absolutely to the widow In an evil
hour she listened to the advice of rela-
tive, who argued that the decline in real
estate was so great and a future decline so
inevitable it would be good policy
to sell her property with view of buying
other real estate when the market touched
bottom. She accepted this advice and
converted the property into cash and
mortgages. Then she sold the mortgages
to the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and after while invested nearly $2OO, 900
in coal-stocks, which then were paying
dividends regularly, and were accounted
gilt-edge. Over one half of this amount
was invested in New Jersey Central at 105.
Now it is selling at 28112, and the others
at discount of thirty to forty per cent
below cost, The widow is in despair
Her advisers are legion in number, and
she lately sought an entire stranger Through
a friend "a bank President placed
the stock in his hands, to dispose of or
hold, as he thought best. She is at least
$150, 900 poorer to-day than she was three
months ago.-N. Y. Cor. Chicago Tribune.

Care Of LOoking-Glasses.

Perhaps some readers have wondered
why looking glasses sometimes get so dull
and dim that 10 washing or rubbing will
make them clear. The dimncss is caused
10y heat. A looking glass or mirror, sub
jcctcd to the sunshine several hours a day.
or to the hot air from a furnace, register
OF stove, or to the heat of a gaslight or
kerosene lamp, will soon become ruined.
At first some portion of the glass looks
dim and misty, then more cloudy, and,
finally, spotted or speckled with black !;
for the heat has caused the coating of
quicksilver to expand and loosen its hold
upon the back of the glass, till, after a
time, particles fall entirely away, and the
glass, once beautificd by fair reflections, is
rendered unsightly and unattractive for
ever.
Oil paintings are often seriously injured
by the same cause. Much of the blame
laid upon the careless mixing Of colors-
especially those used by modern artists
rightly belongs to those who hang the
pictures. Care is taken to place them in
good light" still greater pains should be
taken to secure them from heat. If, dur
ing some portion of the day, the sun
shines directly upon these paintings, or
heat rises constantly toward them from
stove Or furnace, the canvas gradually
takes on dull appearance, and soon pre-
sents IN array of cracks that fills us with
dismay; if they are not speedily removed
to more favorable position, portions of
the outer coat may peel off, and the ruin is
complete.

An Astonishing Egg Story.

1t is very we'll. known that John w.
Corning is Sergeant-a farms of the Now
York State Senate. Last winter he at
tended the session of the Legislature for
the first time, and though almost con-
tinually absent from home, he, with the
assistance of his accomplished wife, dis
covered a new and wonderful process for
producing chickens from eggs without
artificial heat or the kindly ministrations
of the parent hen. Mrs. Corning, know
ing well Johns Partially for toothsome
cakes, and the many dishes of which eggs
form part, prepared to greet him with a
good dinner every time he came home.
In order to carry out her designs, it be-
came necessary to have fresh eggs, and
therefore during the fall a large quantity
was packed away in salt, and carefully
placed in dry part of the cellar. From
time to time during the winter the eggs
were taken out and used. The long con
clavc of the Senate, without holiday,
just before its adjournment, kept John
some time from home, and it was resolved
to keep the rest of the eggs until he came
to stay, there being no fatted calf in the
neighborhood. Finally he came, and
with him news of final adjournment of
the session. The eggs were then brought
forth, but on examination it was found
that nature had been at work in the salt,
and had made some advance toward incuba-
ton, quite enough to render the eggs unfit
for culinary purposes. AS the season then
was becoming quite warm and house
cleaning was in order, the debris which
had accumulated during the winter, in
Guiding the eggs which were left, were
sent away and deposited on the east side
of highway running out of the village,
between the canal and creek bridges
Here, amid coal ashes, the contents of
straw beds and other accumulations the
eggs were left and thought no more of for
the time being. But there was life in that
mass, as will be seen. Close adjoining
this place of deposit Mr.. Tappenden, who
lives at the south end of the canal bridge,
milks his cows, and one morning while
SO engaged heard a chicken crying, the
cry coming from the rubbish. On going
there he found little fellow calling for
his dough, which he took home and fed.
A few mornings after he found
several more, and for a week there
after went regularly to the place
and carried away newly-hatched chick
ems, until he had procured a large
brood, nearly all of them doing we'll.
There was mystery about the case, and
only last week the real truth came to
light. Mr.. Tappenden has now a fine
flock of spring chickens, and he told the
writer that he expected to take the
premium at the fair next week on artificial
Matching, though he said the honor proper
ly belonged toJohn w. Corning.-Roches.

Utilizing the Motion Of the Sea.

For the last two centuries attention has
been directed toward those natural cle-
ments of power which might be derived
from the rise and fall of the tide. Thco-
retically this would afford a source of pow
er which would be limitiess, but practical
ly it has never gone further than the en-
crossing of such tidal motors on paper. OF
late this subject of utilizing the natural
movement of water has been renewed with
the idea Of making the rolls and oscilla-
tons of the ship caused by the ocean swell
as the means of propclling the vessel. On
the occasion of the passage of vessel
from England to Australia, voyage ex-
tending over some 1900 hours, ship
made l ,764 ,0S9 beam oscillations or rolls,
and 1,O41 1877 fore-and-aft oscillations or
pitches. A Mr.. Tower, of England, de-
scribcs a machine, with the object Of stor-
ing this immense and constant power,
which is to impart propulsion to the YES
sci. BY the natural rise and fall of the
vessel air is compressed into cylinders,
which, as reservoirs of power, are to be
called upon for mechanical use. The in
ventor supposcs that the long swell in the
tropics would give at every impulse pow
er equal to thirty horse power, and that
the average Atlantic wave was as much as
2OO-horse power, while a heavy head sea
would represent GO0-horse. powcr.-PAila.

WitchCraft In France.

At Montbrison, France, not long ago,
the magistrates were called upon to adj
judge somewhat singular case. Jean
Marie Baron, aged thirty seven, well-to-
do farmer of Poncins, had for three or four
years entertained the hallucination that
some of his neighbors, jealous of his pros
perity, had combined to injure him by
witchcraft. His cows fell sick, his wheat
withered, and he himself had singular fits
Of depression and dependency at the sight
Of Objectionable persons. He consulted
several doctors, even going to Lyons for
treatment, but as they all derided his
story, he resolved to put in practice the
remedy suggested by q village crone-
namely, to draw blood from each of his
prosecutors. Accordingly he armed him
self with number Of stout pins with glass
heads, hid himself near the parish door on
procession day, when the whole commu-
nifty would naturally gather there, and
falling suddenly upon his victims planted
pin in each with remarkable vehemence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynaud and Miss Jeanette
Badieu complained to the police Of the as
sault. Baron declared with an air Of hap
piness that he was guilty; that he bore no
ill-will to the complainants; but that he
had to do what he had done.

again and carry it to the fruit room. He
will hear the frdit creak and bruise by be-
ing pressed one against another. A
basket, pail or tub is the only proper re-
ceptacle for holding valuable fruit when
it is desirable that it should not be
bruised.
When plucking large pears we employ
a grape-plucker, which consists of COM
bined shears and pliers. The instrument
is taken il one hand as if it were pair
of shears. The stem of the fruit is then
cut with the small blade secured to the end
of one of the jaws; and as the stem is cut
in two the jaws of the pliers close on the
stem and hold the pear, apple, or bunch
of grapes. 1t is a capital little device for
plucking fruit. Such FUCKERS can be OBJ
