Hoo the TutIeries We're Named.

1t has been somewhat of surprise to
psychologists and antiquaries that in the
excavations of the new Avenue de
POpera so few buried historical records
of the past should have been brought to
light. Here and there few louis dor of
recent date have been found, but
positively no treasure of any absolute
value or interest has been discovered.
On the Champs de Mars and the
Trocadero, notwithstanding the primi-
tive condition of the ground, no remains
whatever of early human work have
been brought to light; but to make up
for this loss, the engineers have come
across most valuable qusrries of building
stone and gravel, sufficient alone to sup
ply the enormous requirements of the
building.
The other day, however, in excavating
the new carriageway which passes before
the facade of the Tuileries, the work
men came upon some remains of the
kilns in which for centuries had been
manufactured the tiles for which Paris
has so long been famous If any doubt
can remain as TO how the palace Of the
Tuileries obtained its name it is COM
pletely dissipated by this discovery of
the remains of the tile kilns (tuiteries)
from the fact of whose existence the
property took its name.
1t is as far back as the thirteenth
century that the tile kilns were es-
tablished on the spot, then outside the
city walls. At the commencement of
the sixteenth century the mother of
Francis l., the Duchess d'Angouleme,
having found the royal residence at the
Palais DIES Tournelles ION the site of the
present Place des Vosges) somewhat
distasteful to her, resided at the house
of M. de Melville, built on the site of
the present palace of the Tuileries.
Charmed with the spot, Francis l.
purchased it, and in 1864 Catherine de
Medici, having determined to abandon
the old palace of the Tournelles,
charged Philibert de pOrme with con-
structing for her another residence on
the site of the "Maison des Tuileries."
From this time, then, the palace of the
Tuileries rose, stone by stone, and began
to take place in French history. There
as each monarch succeeded to the throne,
the court passed some portion of their
time. During the reign of Louis Kill,
there existed in the gardens of the
Tuileries restaurant, kept by one
Renard, and there, during the difficulties
of the civil war of the Fronde, met
great numberof the principal personages
Of the insurrection.
1t was in this same house occupied by
Renard that, towards the end of the year
l640, the famous painter, Nicholas
Poussin, ever in search of that retire
ment and seclusion from the busy and to
HIM distasteful life of Paris, was ia
stalled by the orders of Louis XIII,
and there he remained until his final
return to his favorite and congenial
adopted fatherland, Italv

der, when he wakes up in the early
morn and finds he's gone to bed in his
boots and stove-pipe hat, and recollects
that it was lodge meeting that made

A YOUNG man who married a woman
with seven sisters, and went to live in

sadly asked a neighbor whether it was
better to cut your strawberry beds bias

the purpose of clothing is simply tomake
the wearer as happy and all the other
women as unhappy as possible.
A WRITER in the Baltimore Bee is of

EAvenir des Femmes criticises women
as beings who delight in discomfort.
They have invested, it says, dresses too
scant for easy walking, long trains to be
stepped upon, collars that do not admit
the head to be turned, pockets too low
to be reached by the hand, high heels
that cause them to trip, and big knots in
their dresses which prevent them from
sitting.
WHEN a Newark lover leaves the house
of his adored one at late hour in the
evening, and walks musingly homeward
beneath the twinkling stars, his fond
fancy pictures her, clothed III white

with her unbound hair tossed about her
sleeping face, and angels bending over
her couch whispering heavenly dreams.
Perhaps at that very moment though she
is in the pantry, gnawing hungrily on
ham bone.

Scientific Notes.

A Frenchman, who has given the SUBJ
ject careful study, proposes by means of
flexible tubes, suitably buoyed, to make
use of the springs of water which in
many places rise from the bottom of the
ocean, as watering places for ships.
The new Bonita engine promises to be
very valuable improvement in locomo-
tive manufacture. 1t is claimed that it
will render feasible the use of hard coal
in place of soft, saving of $3.50 per
ton; will prevent the escape of sparks
or cinders; and will consume rs per
cent. of the fuel instead of about so per
cent, as is the case in the ordinary loco
motive. An arrangement providing for
the easy escape of exhaust steam is also
included, thus doing away with resist
ance of ten to fifteen horse power. The
engine has been tried on the Boston end
of the New York and New England
road and works well.
A distinguished English physician
has discovered new proof of the healthy
influence of sunlight. He received from
India, on ivory points. some of the poison
Of the cobra. The glass bottle in which
it was contained, was exposed to the
sunlight, some of the points being wrap
ped up in paper. He found that on such
of the points as had been exposed to the
sunlight the poison had become inert,
hi 10 iph boI haa ii
up, it still retained its fatal activity.
From this he argues that sunlight might
in the same way neutralize the poison of
small pox, scarlet and typhoid fevers.
The sum by comparison of all obser-
vations from the days of Hipparchus to
the last transit of Venus only amounts
to the reasonably sure conclusion that
the suns parallax is not less than 8.S
deg. and not more than 8. 9 deg. But
this possible valuation makes difference
in distance from the earth of 100000
miles. The great aim of astronomers is
to reduce this margin of uncertainty as
much as possible. An unusually fortunate
occasion for attempting this occurs in
September of this year, when Mars is
not only in opposition, but also at its
aphelion (nearest point of its orbit to
the sun), while the earth its at its aphe-
lion (farthest point of its orbit from the
sun). Such concurrence of fortunate
circumstances will not occur again in a
long term of years, and both England
and America will take advantage of it.

Much has been said of the antipathy
of certain persons for cats; Mr.. Warner,
in his eulogy of his Calvin (Scri6ner for
June), shows the antipathy of cat for
certain persons:
On the whole, his life was not only a
successful one, but happy one. He
never had but one fear, so far as | know !;
he had a mortal and a reasonable terror
of plumbers. He would never stay in
the house when they were here. No
coaxing could quiet him. Of course he
didn't share our fear about their charges,
but he must have had some dreadful ex-
perience with them in that portion of his
life which is unknown to us. A plumber
was to him the devil, and Ihave no doubt
that, lit his scheme, plumbers were fore
ordained to do him mischief.

A treasure IRAN StOtef IN ANS6tNs
Strange disappearance are by no
means uncommon in these days; but one
of these mysteries which, according to a
correspondent of one of the German pa
pers, has lately occurred in Russia, is
only startling. An express train in that
country, carrying six million of rubles,
not only failed the other day to reach its
destination, but has altogether disap-
peared, without leaving the slightest
traces affording clue as to what has be-
come of it. That the train should be
stopped and the money taken is con-
ceivable; but that the thieves should
actually carry off not only rubles, but
engine, tender, vans, carriages, and all,
is 80 uncanny" an incident as to raise
ground for suspicion that the powers of
darkness have been at work. At any
rate, the story is most uncomfortable
one, and it is to be hoped new horror
is not about to be added to railway trav-
cling by the total disappearance of trains.
1t may be imagined how painful a SEN
sation would be created if the Flying
Dutchman or some other fast and
famous train was never seen or heard of
again after leaving London. Such ca.
tastrophe would be if possible, even
worse than a collision.

Cossacks liza fhe Russian Army.

lLondoR Daily News Gslatz Correspondence
The Cossack is not very savory
gentleman, and Galatz is fine place
for taking the edge of ones sensibili-
ties regarding the smells and we can
get to windward of the Cossack we wish
to inspect, which is more than we can
do in regard to the Galatz drains
Friend Cossack is q little chap, about
five feet five, even on his high heels, but
at once sturdy and wiry. His weather.
beaten face is shrewd, knowing and
merry. His eyes are small, but keen /;
his mouth large, and between it and his
pug nose--rather redder than the rest of
his facets tuft or wisp Of straw-colored
mustache. His long, thick, straight
hair matches his mustsche, in color, and
is cut sheer round by the nape of his
neck. He wears round oilskin peak
less shake with knowing cock to the
right, to maintain which angle there is
strap around his chubby chin.
Below the neck the Cossack is all
boots and great-coat exteriorly. The
great-coat, which is of thick, gray
blanketing, comes down below his
knees; his boots come up to them. He
is more armed than any man of his inches
in Europe, is our little Cossack friend
and could afford to lose weapon or two
and yet be an averagely dangerous Gus
toner. Weapon number one is the long,
black, fagless lance, with its venomous
head that seems itching to make day
light through somebody. He carries
carbine, slung in an oilcloth cover, on
his back, the stock downward. In his
belt is long and well-made revolver in
leather case, and from the belt hangs
curved sword with no guard over its hilt.
Through the chinks in his great-coat
are visible glimpses of sheepskin under
coat with the hair worn inside (to-day,
at noon, the thermometer was over
seventy in the sun). His whip COM
pletes his personal appurtenances; he
wears no spurs. He rides cooked up on
high saddle, with a leather band
strapped over it, a wiry little rat of a
pony, with no middle-piece to speak OF,
with eve neck and gaunt, projecting
head, with ragged TANKS, loose hooks,
limp fetlocks, shelly feet and general
aspect of knackerism-the sort of animal,
in fine, for which costermonger would
think twice before he offered "three
quid" for it at the northern Tattersall's
on the outskirts of the Metropolitan
cattle market on Friday afternoon.
But the screw is of indomitable game
ness and toughness--lives where most
other horses would starve-is fresh when
most other horses are knocked up--and
lie fit to carry its rider across Europe, as
Cossack ponies have done before to-day.

An AsCf,st Warming
utica Observer. |

The insanity of DR.. J. G. Aver of Low.
ell affords terrible warning to adver-
tisers. He was man engaged in the
manufacture of apill, not differing from
a hundred other pills which may be
obtained at any drug store. In an I'M
guarded moment he made up his mind
that he would advertise, not in the
picayune style of the common dealer,
but in comprehensive sort of way, by
which he could reach every possible pur-
chaser of pills. He started with the idea
of devoting half of his profits each year
to advertising. The result might have
been foreseen. He accumulated money
so rapidly that he did not know what to
do with it. When he had rolled together
fifteen millions dollars and had vainly
striven to. find some outlet to his ever
increasing profits, his mind gave way
under the absorbing cares of his vast
business, and he is now patient at an
asylum for the insane. How easily this
calamity might have been averted If
he had stuck to the conservative methods
of many of our merchants and RETAINED
from advertising, he might have been
passing quietly through bankruptcy now
instead of being loaded down with his
uncounted millions. 1t is dangerous
experiment for man who does not want
to become rich to advertise. Or if he
advertises at all he must grudgingly
and at long intervals, lest his profits
should grow out of proportion to his re-
quirements, and he should find himself
burdened with wealth. Advertising,
conducted on the principle of devotiDg
half the profits of business to it, is, we
repeat, dangerous experiment. 1t pre-
cipitates fortune upon the advertiser so
suddenly that the chances are even that
he will not know what to do with his
money. The multitudinous pleasures of
bankruptcy, insolvency and shining
around" for the wherewithal to meet a
note are permanently denied to the man
who advertises. There never was in
Europe or America a great advertiser
who did not accumulate great fortune.
Let those who desire to live unburdened
by the cares of wealth take warning.
