lemy Philadelphus, and the contracting
parties are Patma, son Of PehelkhOus,

great particularly the amount of dowry

ions made in case of repudistion. Then

payment ofthe mothers pin-money

Life Everywhere.
From the Cruise Of the Challenger. "

from the Cfulee Vi tue CuaAeu8ct. Ifr
The most prominent and remarkable
biographical result Of the recent investi-
cations is the final establishment of the
fact that the distribution Of living beings
has no depth limit; but that animals of
all the marine invertebratc classes, and
probably fishes also, exis; over the
whole floor Of the ocean, and some OF
the most interesting problems which
are now before us have reference TO the
nature and distribution Of the deep sea
fauna and to its relations with the
fauna Of shallower water, and with
the fauna Of past periods in the earths
history. The fauna at great depths was
found to be remarkably uniform. Spe
cies of many familiar genera, and
nearly allied to those found in shallow
water, were taken in the deepest hauls,
so that it would seem that the enor-
nous pressure, the utter darkness, and
the difference in the chemical and ply
steal conditions of tire water, and in the
proportions of the contained gases, de-
bending upon such extreme conditions,
do not influence animal life TO any
great extent.

b Colts AND STEERs.-As soon rs a colt
is born let the kind-hearted owner Of his
mother appear to him and aid him in
his first search for the maternal fluid
which is to nourish his young life; let
him see him every day, and hear moth
ing but the kindest notes of the human
voice. Having little halter ready for
him, and tie him kindly near his dam;
release him when necessary; accustom
him to the use of it. Let the children
handle and caress him day by day, call
ing him such pet names as t, cir fancy
and affection may suggest. This is the
way the Arabs break their colts. They
educate them. They never need break

cate them as they grow, and there will
be no more need of breaking them
than there is of calling upon Rarey to

Dangers of Ether.

A Paris correspondent says: Gas eau
ton to medical men, must give an in
cident of the past few days, although it
is of the most painful nature imaginable.
A young lady of eighteen, remarkably
beautiful, belonging to family of rich
merchants of Lyons, had to undergo
surgical operation. The surgeon said
that it was necessary to give her ether.
The sack was prepared, and the young
lady had been inhaling it for moment,
when light was brought near the pa
tient In an instant the ether was ignited
and the sack exploded. The doctor was
himself seriously burned, but the young
lady was in lamentable condition Her
nose was taken off completely, and one
side Of the upper jaw was laid bare. It
is needless to say that she is horribly dis
figured for life. No one could describe
the despair of the family, and perhaps it
would have been better had the poor girl
died from the effects of this dreadful ac-
cident. It is rumored that the doctor
has committed suicide.
