A Big Find.

Ezelot, a French soldier, was walking
through the Paris railway station with
two comrades, when they noticed on the
floor packet wrapped in newspaper.
They kicked it along before them for
some distance, and when Ezelot was get.
ting into the train, going home OH short
leave, one of his comrades, picking ND
the packet, thrust it into the canvas for
age bag slung at his side, Ezelot going
on his way without having perceived the
little pleasantly.
Arrived at Neuilly, where his parents
lived his mother emptying the forage
bag, discovered the bundle, and, think
ing it was a packet of newspapers, put it
on table in the kitchen. There it re-
NAMED for four or five days, till mar
ried sister, calling in and seeing the
packet, was moved by unwonted curios-
ity. Opening it she discovered docu-
ments representing the EGG, 900, the loss
of which M. Pages rich man of Paris,
had advertised throughout Europe. The
European papers are not, however, read
at Neuilly. The soldier and his parents,
not knowing what else to do, followed
the provincial Frenchman's instinct and
had recourse to the MARIE. That func-
tionary, communicating with Paris,
speedily brought down NJ. Pages, who,
gratefully paving the promised reward OF
81 900, went off with his oddly recovered
treasure

Protection Against Lightning.

A correspondent writing to the Journal
Of 7sicgraphy argues that the connec-
ton of lightning rods with the ground
should be enlarged in the proportion
that the rod is better conductor than
the ground. This would require an
enormous expansion of the rod under
ground, but We have long been convinced
that this is the point Mt which lightning
rods generally fail to protect. The same
writer says: after thirty years observa-
ton, have never known of q case where
the occupants of house were injured
when the building was fitted with gas or
water pipes. The buildings are sometimes
set on fire by the electricity passing from
the rod, or metal roof to the gas or
water pipes, but without injury to any
person below the highest point to which
these pipes extend" He adds in con-
clusion: "Gas and water pipes are the
best lightning rods ever erected, because
they are i'll perfect electric connection
with the earth" We may add-lightning
rods should, when possible, he connected
with gas and water tubes. If neither are
used in the building, the connection
should be made with the mains in the
street, if in city where gas mains are
laid. An extensive ground connection is
the point to be gained to insure safety -

Rats I'm India.

A captain in the army, holding an ar
pointment in the Bengal Staff Corps,
was staying with his wife and young child
in the same station. The father-a right
brave man he was, who had been wound
ed not great while before by some hill
savage-wanted to bring up his son to
be hardy and fearless, like himself,

tie one in room to sleep by itself. But
they soon noticed scratches and strange
marks on the young child's hands, which,
getting worse, made them call in doc
tor. This gentleman's advise was en-
couraging; he said:
eff you don't want your child to lose
his hands you had better keep him away
from the rats, for they have been biting
him."

An old painter in India, whose word

lining of some grain bins was eaten

great care was taken never to leave any

How Famous Writers Work.

LII Is curious TO recall the manner In
which "The Great" seek inspiration
and how they work.
NJ. Alexandra Dumas, fills, is morn
ing worker the dawn finds him already
up. He salutes her with genial coun-
tenance. His habitual good humor
proves that his health and his mental
faculties are in complete equilibrium.
He is hungry Immediately on rising and
attacks good plate of soup with the
eagerness of rustic. After that he
seats himself before a large secretary
and writes until noon-in negligent
dress, rs you may suppose. NJ. lie Comte
de Button, before entering his study, al
ways put on his court dress, did not for
get his sword, and did not deign, except
in lace cuffs, to occupy himself with the
humble animals whose history he was
writing.
There are few coats more threadbare
than those of the master of all. 1 have
named M. Victor Hugo. M. Hugo is
also an early riser, but he does not live
on soup. Before noon he lives only on
his thoughts. He writes great deal
and his heart is in the work. In his long
walks he prepares the work of the NOR
row, and as his memory is prOdigiOus he
has only to write out what his faithful
memory dictates. He has often related
to his friends that in his youth, during a
rainy winter, he was occupied with his
place of exercise, under shelter, the
Passage du Saumon.
The first act, a marvellous commence
ment, full of passion, poetry, and fire,
was the work of two afternoons spent in
promenading in the passage of dingy
shops, where We're sold, side by side,
stockings, straw mattings, and butchers
caps.
Lamartine, another early riser, COM
posed his most beautiful verses on horse
back. That was habit worthy of an
aristocratio poet, lover of the open air
and OF heaven, who, not possessing the
Pegasus of heroic days, gave wings to an
English saddle horse. Byron showed
this sportive taste, probably because he
had club foot.
The poet, beloved of lovers, Musset,
adored the reveries of evening. But it
was not under blue heaven, by the splen-
dor of the stars, that he evoked the muse
of night, whose voice still vibrates in
young hearts. 1t was in the glare of
candles, at the angle Of table redeemed
by overlooking cups.

Archibald Forbes.

Mr.. Forbes, the English war-corres-
pondent, began his literary life by writ
ing from the barracks when private in
the Royal Dragons. He never had any
practical journalistic experience until he
went out as a correspondent for the Lon
don advocate in the Franco German
war. He tells an amusing story of his
experience with this paper.

said, until Paris was surrounded, then
a message came Withdrawing me, the
editor writing that the movement seemed
reduced to the environment of Paris, and
that he had correspondent in Paris.
That struck me as being good. The
correspondent in Paris couldn't get out,
and couldn't send any news out either.

collected to the Times, was received very

How to Travel Like Lightning.

An imaginative man proposes the fol-
lowing plan by which he holds it possible
to transport freight and passengers by
rail from New York to San Francisco in
ten hours. What the freight or passen-
gers would be good for when delivered
he does not pretend to say. The plan is
this: "a fair rate of speed for q railway
train is forty miles an hour. The dis
lance from New York to San Francisco
is, roughly, three thousand miles. 1
would divide this distance into thirty
parts, with stations Mt every 100 miles.
First track, not differing greatly from
the ordinary railroad track, should be
laid for hundred miles, and it is only
necessary to study rapid transit accord
ing to my plan over this section of the
road to understand how the whole system
would work. Over the first track of 100
miles, and running over cannon balls
upon the track, is another, say 80 miles
long, on which, in turn, is another, 80
miles long, and so on till on the whole
system the freight and passenger train
runs, it being of any desired and practi-
cable strength. Suppose it is required
to go from A to B, n distance of 100 miles,
the stable track over which all the
others run is, of course, 100 miles long,
and the first movable track upon it Is 80
miles long. Let the first movable track
be drawn by a stationary engine the 10
remaining 10 miles, whereby one of its
extremities will reach B, and let us say
that it takes fifteen minutes forit tomove
through the ten miles. In the meantime
the track eighty miles long which runs
on the track ninety miles long will have
been advanced ten miles by the motion
of the ninety mile track, and will itself
(either by means OF stationary engine
or locomotive) have advanced ten miles
on its own hook. so that in all it will have
gone twenty miles in the fifteen minutes,
and its extremity will reach B ut the
same time that b is reached by the
ninety mile track. So with the seventy,
the sixty, the fifty tracks, and up to the
passenger and freight trains, which will
reach B as soon as the ninety mile track
reaches B-that is to say, in fifteen min
utes, at the end of which it will have
travelled about 100 miles. Perhaps the
following statement will make the mat
ter clearer. Let us call the ninety mile
track A, the eighty mile track Il, and so
on. A is drawn ten miles, carrying with
it b for the same distance. But b has
a motion of it's own and travels over ten
miles ON its own account. 1t has there
fore gone 20 miles. G, with ten mile
motion of its own over B, which draws
it along, has gone 80 miles; ID, 40; Il, 80;
+, 60; G., 20; II, 80; /, 80; j (Which is
the passenger and freight train), 100
miles, and all in fifteen minutes. The
whole system of tracks need not be more
than four or five feet in height. With
sufficient power the scheme is practical

There is nothing 80 handy in a house
as an abundance of large, roomy closets;
but because they are handy and extreme.
ly useful they are apt to be abused.
There are many things which, as a mat
ter of course, are always put into closet.
OF which the articles of outward wearing
apparel make large part. There are
always things which ought not to go
into the closet, 1. e., a closet adjoining or
closely connected with living or Sleep
ing room. OF such are all soiled under
garments, the wash clothes, which
should be put into large bag for the
purpose, or roomy basket, and then
placed III the Mushroom or some other
well-aired room at some distance from
the family. Having thus excluded one
OF the fertile sources of bad oders in
closets, the next point is to see that the
closets are properly ventilated. Il mat
ters not how clean the clothing in the
closet may be. Any garment after be-
ing worn for while will absorb more or
less of the exhalations which arise from
the body, and thus contain an amount of
foreign-it may be hurtful-matter
which free circulation of pure air can
soon remove; but if this is excluded, as
in many close closets, the effluvia in
creases, aud the clothes closets and ad-
joining rooms in time possess an odor
that any acute sense of smell will readily
detect. Every closet in daily use in
which the night clothes are hung by day
and the day clothing by night, should
have an airing as well as the bed. II
the closet can be large enough to admit
Of window-and it is in some cases
an ample provision for sunlight and the
circulation of pure air is provided in the
window, which should be left open for a
short time each day. In the case of
small closets a ventilatOr could be put
over the door or even in it. In many
cases such precautions for pure clothing
are not practicable, and the next-best
thing is, to see that the door of the
closet is left open for half hour or so
each day at that time when the windows
are thrown up and the large room is
purified with fresh airfrom out of doors.
In this way, first, by keeping out clothes
intended for the wash, and second, daily
changing of the air, the closets may be
kept comparatively pure.
