CUSHING ON THE CIMBEIA.
New YORK, May IA Newburyport,
Mass, special reports Caleb Gushing as say
ing that there is reason to believe that the
Cimbria is not intended as privateer,
as Russia is a party to the declarations of
the Congress Of Paris which bound the par
ties in the case of any future war not to au-
thorize the fitting out of privateers.

nation in Europe that has a right to inter

Crenlated.

Few female minds would possess the
fortitude to write such will as was left
by Mrs. Ben Pitman, the wife of the
author of a photographic system, who
died recently in Cincinnati. This lady,
who was herself skilled Photographed
and lecturer on the art, introduced in
to her last will and testament clause as
follows
Inasmuch as I have long conceived it to be
the most sensible mode of disposing of my
body, desire my remains to be forwarded to
DIR. LIE Moyne, to be cremated in the furnace
built by him for that purpose at Washington,
Pa.
In obedience to this request the hug-
band of the deceased proceeded TO the
place of cremation, where the remains
were reduced to ashes and urned. There
were no religious observances of any
kind, and the process of cremation was
performed in the simplest manner pos
sible. The LIE Moyne furnace is the
one in which the body of the late Baron
de Palm was incinerated some months

The Origin of MeteOrites.

This is subject which has long been
discussed by mineralogists, who are
much divided on that question. Prof.
Tschermak, after prolonged study, comes
to the conclusion that the active agent in
the process is volcanic He points out
that the bolides which fall to the earth
are angular in form that they have no
concentric structure even in their inte-
rior that their external crust is not an
original characteristic and that they are
evidently fragmentary. Examination of
the crust has shown that during the lat
ter stages of the flight disruption of the
meteorite itself frequently takes place.
From much evidence of this character,
Prof. Tschermak has been confirmed in
his views. He argues that the finding OF
hydrogen in meteoric iron is proof that
permanent gases, and perhaps vapors.
which are the great agents in transmit
ting volcanic energy, have played a part
In the formation OF meteorites and al
though we may never have the pos
sibility of obtaining direct evidence of
the volcanic activity which is supposed
to have hurled these mysterious masses
of stone and metal into space, yet such
proof as the violent gaseous upheavals on
the solar surface, the action OF our ter
restrial volcanoes, and the stupendous
eruptive phenomena of which the lunar
craters tell the history, lend powerful
support to any theory assuming that
meteorites owe their formation to vol
canic agency.

What Constitutes Baggage I

The RailsOay Age devotes a page to
setting forth the law as regards the care
of baggage, the following being a sum-
mary of the conclusions reached:
1. That baggage is wearing apparel and such
other articles as are carried for the travellers
use or instruction. not articles of trade or for
peeuniary profit.
2. That a reasonable amount of money car
ried for travelling expenses is baggage.
8. That a charge for baggage cannot be
made in addition to the price for the ticket
unless it exceeds the prescribed or reasonable
weight.
4. That check must be given for each par
eel of baggage received by the company.
s. That notice, limiting the liability of
the company for the loss of baggage, pub
lished on the back Of the passenger ticket, or
baggage check, is insufficient to be of legal
effect.
g. That the carrier is responsible for the loss
Of or injury to, baggage, not occasioned by the
act of God or the public enemy.

The Modern Giant.

This is rare sport when we'll managed.
A large sheet should be strained across
an open door; folding doors are better
for this game, as they give larger space
for action. The room in which the
spectators are seated should be dark
ened; but in the room back of the cur
tain, where the giant exhibits, should be
placed on the floor bright lamp or can
die, with a reflector either of polished
tin or looking-glass. Any one stand
ing between the light and curtain ap-
pears immense in all his proportions, as
his reflection is cast upon the sheet.
Let the person acting as the giant first
open his hands and spread his fingers
wide, and let them appear at the bottom
of the curtain, and gradually rise till
the shadow of his whole body is exhib-
ted between the lights and the curtain.
He will appear to rise from the cellar.
Then let him Jump over the light, to the
rear of the reflector, and it will seem as
if he jumped upward through the cell
ing.
Many amusing scenes can be thus
contrived. Articles of furniture, etc.,
can be drawn down from above, by sim.
ply passing them over the light. Dolls
can be used with great effect. The giant
can appear to swallow them, or destroy
the pigmy race. Care should be taken
to keep the profile on the screen as dis
tinct as possible. Some call this game
The Man in the Moon. "-The Anae75-

Christmas Kindness.

One Of the tenderest acts of kindness
perpetrated by the churches at Christ
mas time is to feed poor children on
candy, bought at Is cents pound, and
when the little cherubs die with their
stomachs full of marble dust-tendered
to them by economical pastors as sugar,
and eaten by the innocent lambs with all
the simple faith and exuberant appetite
of their age-they will go aloft, carry
ing with them, as it were, their own

that child had vanished. While they
were looking in amazement, the giant
again raised his arm beckoningly. AS he
did so there came fresh cry-another
child had been taken. The whole thing
now was plain-the children disappeared
whenever the giant, on hearing their
complaining wishes, signaled for them.
The next morning his huge shape could
be seen more distinctly sitting on the
rock, and whenever he beckoned child
went. The white-haired Lutheran min
lister, just as the sun was setting, came
in front of the crowd and said
"Let us each tonight by our bedside
pray that the children may be forgiven
and restored to us.
This prayer was answered. Early the
next morning, some who were watching
raised cry, saying that the children
were coming back. In a long procession
the little people were seen winding down
the valley. Their fathers and mothers
and all the inhabitants ran to meet them.
They were astonished to see how meek
the returning children were.
"Oh, let us get back to our work in
helping you" cried out hubbub of
boys and girls voices.
No sooner had they neared the houses
than the boys rushed into the gardens,
and, snatching up spades, began to dig
while the girls, darling into the dwell
ings Instantly, were busy sweeping,
busting, and polishing.
The explanation they all gave was
this: While we were kept inside the
mountain we were not allowed to do
anything at all, and, oh, it was SO hard !!
The good giant said that we could not
have play without work ALSO"
All looked toward the rock, but the
figure of the giant was no longer to be
seen. The boys and girls were much the
better for his visit. -Chatrchnodae.
