ANENALCUEE. A

Lewenhoeck saw hundreds of animalcule
in the space of grain of sand, and he says
ten thousand but it is now suspected that
he saw the ultimate motions of the atoms
of gas and not organized beings. A drop
of water contains hundreds, all in extreme
activity, swimming or crawling with free
dom and purpose. They appear to subsist
on the atoms of the infusion, and some
prey on others. Some have the form of
flying dragons, with all their parts; others
are like polype; some like worms; others
with many legs, like insects; while others
have machinery of wheels, which turn,
create vorteYes, and apparently enable
them to collect food. Some are like plants,
with branches, each terminated with ON
animalcule, and the trunk and branches
alternately draw in and spread. Others are
like hydatids, and have their generations in
the skin. And all appear to be hermaphro-
dites. Many animalcule have the power of
resurrection, and, after being dry grains
for years, revive again on being put IN
drop of water and this may be repeated
ten or twelve times if they are kept in
sand, however dry. Animalcules are not to
be found in all fluids. None are to be
found in wines, or any other fermented
liquor which has net passed into the state
of vinegar, or which has not become COM
pletely vapid; neither are they to be found
in distilled or spring water. If paste made
with flour and water is suffered to go sour,
without being mouldy, the surface will soon
be covered with an infinite number of mi
mute living beings, which, from their gen
eral similarity to that animal have been
called cells.

day.s In Adrian, Mich, a sixteen-year old

ment, where she had been one of the gay
est of the party, and laughingly, in. the
presence Of her escort, ate an orange in
which she had put strychnine. Her BROTH

through the head. Mrs. Snyder, in Keno

carefully lowered herself with rope into
the water and was drowned. The cause of

honorable in his prosperity. AS book
keeper for an insurance company, he had
been paid for perjury, and when the money
was gone he found himself possessed of
character SO bad that he could not get en-
ployment. A more touching excuse for
wishing to die was given by vagatond
boy in New Orleans, who had lost both
legs in railroad disaster, and had become
convinced that. 'this world amt no place

JAPAT~sE CURRENCY

The national currency paper money now
in use in Japan WAS engraved and printed
in New York city. Japanese artists pre-
pared the designs, and had them re-drawn
by our Best American artists; F. 0. G.
barley among the number. The illustra-
tions consist of scenes in japanese life and
history. The work was performed under
the supervision of Japanes commissioners
appointed for the purpose. They were
shrewd enough to get one side of the note
engraved and printed at one establishment,
and the other side by another, SO that they
had check on the number printed No
expense was spared to make. the notes as
perfect as possible; and they are superior
in design and execution to our own notes.
the same plan was adopted as that used
with cur own national currency = the
general design being the same for all the
banKs-in Japan, the only variations being
in the titles of the branches.

The difference between crocodile and
an alligator is thus set forth by one who
evidently knows whereof ne speaks: II
know the alligator as I know buffalo, and
the Nile saurian is no more like the South
American alligator than subsidized, bar
gain-hunting missionary is like a sincere
Christian. The reptiles before US were
from fifteen to eighteen feet long, sandy
yellow in color, not at all black, thicker
and shorter in the head than the alligator,
and SO supple and liths as to turn them
selves almost double when alarmed, with
the ease of an acrobat. The alligator
when turning moves the whole body. The
Nile crocodile is always dangerous anta8o-
mist. The alligator in the Southern swamps
is, at best, sport for convalescents and
BOYS in Florida Even in his native ele-
ment the alligator will flee at the approach
of man, whereas l am told by the native
hunters that in the water the crocodile in
variably attacks deeming himself its
mightiest inhabitant.

p
of.making pretense of carrying out the
wishes of Mr.. A. T.,Stewart in the mat
ter. Mr., Stewart's plans were clearly
understood by the public at the time the
hotel was commenced. He announced
his intention of erecting hotel and
fitting it up for the purpose of providing
a comfortable home for the better class
of working women and a place where
ladies travelling alone would be securely
protected and would find all the
comforts of first-class hotel without it's
annoyances. 1t was, not intended to be a
paying institution. The object was to
benefit the women of New York by pro-
viding place that would afford homes
for many hundreds of the most deserving
who had no families of their own with
whom to reside Such an institution
would have been, productive of much
good, by removing 50 great number of
the better class Of working women from
the temptations that surround them in
the ooardlhS-hQuses Qt, great city. 1t
also would have afforded a great deal Of
comfort to ladies who visit the Mctrop-
oils unaccompanied by male escorts. 1t
was the intention that all such who were
willing to pay for good accommodations
should find here all the comforts Of
home without any of the restraints and
endorsements that the lone female en-
counters at the regular hotels. Judge
Hilton having succeeded to Mr. Stewards
vast estates finds it more to his taste to
make the Women's Hotel paying insti-
tuition, and having the legal right to do
So he exercises it and pronounces Mr.
Stewards scheme a failure. This isabout
all there is to the affair.

A ROMANTIC story is told of Martin Mix, Of
Northfeld, and Ellen Manough, Of Middle
bury, W., who recently got married after a
long separation. Many years ago, they
quarrelIed and broke their engagement.
Martin went,to sea, dug gold in Australia
and California, served in the Union Army
during the war, worked on the Pacific Rail-
road, was captured by Indians while travel
ing to the Black Hills, but escaped and re-
turned to Vermont. Ellen had long since
forgiven her recreant lover, and, having
advertised in vain for his return, devoted
her time to saving silver dollars, 800 Of
which found their way into one of her old
stockings. Now the two are one, and the
past is forgotten.

attracted to the handsome residence being
erected by General Heath.
In the abstraction of the moment Mrs.
Creager pulled the wrong line, and the
horse, deprived of sight, turned off tie mar
row and unguafded bridge, pulling the We.
hicle and its living freight in his descent to

san SrEFANO, which has lately been
elevated from the. humble position of a
country resort in the neighborhood of
Constantinople, to one of historical inter
est by reason of its Russian occupancy
and the negotiation Of the Russo Turkish
Treaty, is said to be the fattest and ugli-
est locality upon the Marmora. 1t had
only been known in small way hereto
fore as place of resort during the
months of August and September for sea
bathing and quail shooting. 1t has now
become famous. The Treaty of San Ste
fano marks an epoch in the history of
the old world-the abrogation of old
boundaries-the creation of a new map of
Europe. Many rich Greeks and Arme-
mans own handsome villas in and about
the little town. and take great pains to
manifest their aversion to Turkish dOmi-
nation by extending the most cordial hos
pitality to the Russian officers and sol
diers now quartered there.
