How Time Passes In Paris.

You may talk about the marVels OF
rheumatic clocks, the convenience OF
monster omnibuses, the rapldlty OF
communication between one quarter OF
2 aris and another, but it is no use Try
ing to show that the Parislans nave no
time to spare, and that they are never
in a hurry. They have so mucn time
that they don't know what to 40 WIN
it. They waste their time like chlia
wastes his gayety, or a rich man ms
gold. They sluander it looking, at the
stars in heaven, or the waters flowing
under bridge. Did ever any one cal
culate the time spent by the farlslan

When dog barks ct cat, when tWo
sparrows make love TO each other ON a

children who amuse themselves by

is that they have taken their amuse

Change In the Frog.

Nowhere in the aninai kingdom is
there so favorable an opportunity for
peeping into natures workshop as in
the mctamorphoses of the frog. This
animal is worm when it comes from
the egg, and remains such the first four
days of its life, having neither eyes nor
ears, nostrils nor respiratory organs.
1t crawls. 1t breathes through its skin.
After a while a neck is grooved into the
flesh. Its soft lips are hardened into a
horny beak. The different organs, one
after another, bud out; then pair OF
branching gills, and last long and
timber tail. The worm has become a
fish. Three or four days more elapse
and the gills sink back into the body,
while in their place others come, much
more complex, arranged in vascular
tufts, ll2 in each. But they, too, have
their day and are absorbed, together
with their framework of bone and car.

different breathing apparatus, the initial

Dynastic Trees In China.

The Chinese are accustomed to as
Sociate the fortunes of their reigning
families with the lives of trees, and
each dynasty has special tree dedi-
Gated to it. The duration of the
dynasty is held to be indissolubly
bound up with the existence of the tree,
and inspection is frequently made Of the
latter in order to ascertain from its con-
dition the prospect before the sovereign;
The appearance of the tree is expected
to furnish incontestable proof of the
true state of the empire. 1t is impossi-
bic to assign an origin to this super
stition, which is of great. antiquity;
but, to 60 no further back than the
fifteenth century, Yungloh, the third of
the Ming rulers, planted q fir tree,
which endured until the overthrow $50
wears afterward of his descendants by
the Manchus. The story is told that
Hwan-Tsung, the last Ming emperor,
hung himself on this very tree. after
having killed his wives and children,
rather than submit to the victorious
Manchu general, Taitsong. This tree,
known rs tine wry-necked fir, was then
chained up by the order of Chuntch,
the first emperor of the existing I'M
perial line, and although fallen to the
ground, its remains with the chan
around them are still shown. AS if in
revenge for the unfortunate Mings, the
popular fancy has evolved another
superstition out Of Chuntche's act, and
it now passes as q current belief that II
the chain were to be removed from the
fallen trunk some terrible catastrophe
would happen to the Manchus.
The Using dynasty is also not without
its own peculiar tree, which was
planted by Chuntche in the courtyard
of temple at Tan-chessu, near Pekin.
So long as this tree exists. so long, it is
asserted, will the Manchus remain su-
preme; and there are those who con-
tend that the future before the ruler
may be OWNED from its condition
The latest accounts are that this tree
which is of the white-nut species, and
which has already attained the respect
able age of two centuries and a quarter
-sh )ws most striking signs Of renewed
vitality, and rs this h,ppens to coincidt
with The state of the Chinese empire
popular credulity is being so far con-
tirmed.

Nay, greenest bays may wave on brows tha

And worlds applauding passeth as dream.
Should choose love to fill mine empty heart
With soft, strong sweetness, as in days ol
old?

Should 1 choose lite with long succeeding
years?
Nay, earth's long life is longer time fol

When tired, tyrant nature holds its sway
Over the busy brain and toiling hand.

Speaking in language OF the unknown land,
So would choose from the treasure infinite.

An Indian Game.

When not on the warpath, or engaged
in hunt ing, Western Indians spend
much of their time in various games or
contests of skill. Ofthese contests one
the most popular is flying the arrow, a
snort to which the Indians Of all tribes
devote considerable time and atten-
tion.
When this game is proposed, each OF
those who wish to join in it lays on the
ground something of small value, such
rs pipe, quiver of arrows, a bow,
spear, tobacco pouch, or knife, and
when ali have been collected, the value
of the whole makes prize well worth
trying for.
Then bows are carefully examined, a
dozen of the best arrows in the quivcl
selected, and the first of the competitors
steps out in front Of tie rest and pre-.
pares to shoot, not at q mark but
straight up into the mir. His object Is
to have as many arrows in the mir rs
possible at the same time; and he who
can send up the greatest number. be-
fore the first touches the ground, win:
the game and all the prizes.
But few of the most expert OF the In
dian bowmen have been known to pu
more than ten arrows into the air n
once, and to do even this requires extra
ordinary skill and strength. The ar
rows, ten or twelve in number, are hel'
in the hand that orasps the Dow,and tn
rapidity with which each is fitted t
the string and sent upward is trul
wonderful l.-Harper's Young People.

The Fate of the Jeannette.

Grave apprehensions for the safety OF
the Jeanette exist in official circles as
well as among those who from ex.
perience are qualified to speak UNDER
stardingly of the dangers with which a
winters sojourn in the Arctic IS ex-
tended. A Federal officer, who is in a
rosition to be well informed on the
subject, asserts with an alarming posi-
tiveness that the Jeanette will never
come back. He says that the unfortu-
nate vessel was LAST seen steering directly
for a vast field, and by whalers who
deemed their only chance for safety to
be in moving as rapidly as possible IN
an opposite direction. The ice-field
was at that time offWrangel land and
directly in the path of current which
in winter flows northward, and II the
Jeannette is frozen in as reported, she
would inevitably be carried northward
and out of reach of all succor by the
fatal current. Capt. Douglass, a govern
ment coast pilot. indulges the hope that
the ice-feld which inclosed the j eannette
has probably grounded on the east shore
OF Alaska, in which case the crew may
be able to reach the shore, If not too DIS
tant, but that the vessel would ineVlta-
bly be ground to pieces when the field
breaks up. Where this occurs the huge
blocks of ice are forced upward and
over q vessel, completely covering and
crushing her by the tremendous
pressure, not leaving a place large
enous h to identify her by. The ice will
begin to break up about the latter part
of July next. ,.o:,,s

which is to attract the crowds from the

almostnaturally, at least in regard to one,

Life Among the New York Tenements.

The interval between the close of
working hours and nightfall afford the
hest opportunity for learning some
thing of the crowded condition of the
tenement district. Beginning shortly
after six o'clock, IN apparently endless
procession-o laboring mem nnd women
and children is moving along the SIDE
walk on either side of every street.
Making due allowance for those who
are Fastening toward the East river
ferries, it is almost impossible to be-
lieve that nearly all of these per ons
find room in which to sleep and take
their meals without going further than
they can walk, going to their work and
returning; but within an hour this flood
of humanity has subsidized, and the num-
ber of persons on the sidewalks is no
greater than at other hours OF the day.
The vast number have found shelter in
rooms opening from the dark halls that
lead up through four and five stories. OF
the great tenements. Then the WIN
dows, row upon row, begin 10 pe
lighted up, and tenement house life is
shown in another aspect. A talr ldea
of the swarms of persons housed in this
district may be gained by waking
through the streets, then entering one
of the rear houses and going to the rear
from which countless rear windows may
be seen lighted ,and remembering that tor
each light there is a household. From
such a point of view the observer looks
down upon an apparently bound less
pile of bricks, hollow within, and filled
from cellar to root with humanity; and
the wonder grows upon him that the
vitiated air rising from the nossrils o.
so many breathers does not befoul the
atmosphere to the very clouds, SO that
birds attempting to fly across shall tai
suffocated, as they are said to fall into
the sulphurpus craters OF slumoerlns
volcanoes. That 80 many persons sleep
tier upon tier, through the night, anc
have strength to make their way ?u1 gu
when morning comes, seems almost like

Care of Clothing.

The care of clothing, to be easy, must
be habitual. The hardest part is in
forming the habit, and this cannot too
early in lite be formed. Most children
love to make mud pies and play in the
dirt generally, and give little heed to
keeping themselves clean: TEis IS all
we'll enough at times, and they should
be indulged in their mud pies provided
they are dressed for the work. But it
is tpoor folksy" in the last degree to
allow a child to play in the dirt with
nice clothes on, or 10 permit q young
person to dress appropriately while at
work. 1t is vastly easier to change a
good coat for poor one than it ls to
restore in it's prestine condition a soiled
coat. It is vastly easier to put on a
pair of overalls than it is to sponge
thoroughly pair of pantaloons. But
the worst of it is that those who neg lect
to change the coat and put on the over,
alls neglect also the sponglng ana
cleansing processes, and let dust gather
and spots remain. A clothes brush, a
wisp broom, a bottle Of ammonia, a
sponge, hand brush, cake Of erasiVe
soap. a vial OF alcohol, should form part
of the furnishings of every toilet. After
all dust has Deen removed from cloth
ing srots may be taken out OF black
cloth with the hand brush dipped in q
mixture of equal parts OF ammonia,
alcohol and water. This will brighten
as we'll as cleanse. Benzine is useful in
removing grease spots. Spots of grease
NAV be removed from colored silks by
putting on them raw starch made into
paste with water. Dust IS best re-
moved from silk by a soft flannel, from
velvet with q brush made specially to1
the purpose. If hats and bonnets when
taken from the head are brushed and
put away in boxes and covered up, in
stead of being laid down anywhere, they
will last fresh q long tine. Shawls anc
