The Crown Jewels OF France.

While some irrepressible Republic
cans are agita ting for the erasure of the
fiowe r-de-luce from all public buildings
in France, Others are no less eagerly
urging upon the French Government the
imperative necessity of turning the
crown jewels into money. As emblems
of royalty, these precious gems are re-
garded by all true Democrats with
Ioathing and detestation. So, M. Ben
jamin Raspail, supported by twen,y-four
deputies Of the political persuasion pro-
fessed by himself, has brought forward
motion to the National Assembly;
verbally identical with that submitted
to the French Legislature in 1871 by
Herve De Saisy proposing that the re-
gala collected by the former tyrsnt of
France be sold by public auction for
the benefit of the nat onal exchequer.
A commission has been appointed by the
chamber to report upon the question
thus raised, and it is considered proba-
BILE that NJ. Raspail's motion will be
adopted. with certain notifications,
rendered inevitable by the circum-
stances that some of the jew els are so
admirably set as to be works of art.
worthy of preservation in the National
Museum, while others, like the famous
Regent" diamond, are of such enor-
NOUS intrinsic value that in all proba-
bility no purchaser could be found for
them. Large sums, however, might ur-
questionably be realized by the sale of
many rare and beautiful gems which
are not comprehended in either of the
above categorie: ;, and which cannot but
be deemed state superfuities under a
Democratic Republican regime.

These Impossible Things.

. Strange stories come from India of
che feats performed by native memor-
izer named BUM, whose magnetic power
would appear to be found quite ire
sistible by the lower animals. upon
which he exclusively exerts it. He
gives seances, to which the public are
invited to bring all manner of ferocious
and untamable wild beasts, and, like the
Ancient Mariner, holds them with his
glittering eye. In a few seconds they
subside into a condition of cataleptic
stiffness, from which they can only be
revived by certain "passes" which he
solemnly executes with his right hand.
An account of one of these seances states
that snake, in state of violent irri
menagerie proprietor, inclosed in a
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and kissing
fiercely. Buni bent over the cage and
fixed mis- eye upon its occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's
restless head. In less than a minute
the snake stretched itself out, stifened,
and lay apparently dead. Buni took it
up, and thrust several needles into its
body, but it gave no sign of life. A
few passes" then restored it to it's
former activity. Subsequently savage
dog, held in leash by its owner, was
brought in, and, at Buni's command,
let loose upon him. As it was rushing
toward him, bristling with fury, he
raised his hand, and, in second, the
fierce brute dropped upon its belly as
though stricken by lightning. it
seemed absolutely paralyzed by some
unknown agency, and was unable to
move a muscle until released from the
magnetizer's spell by a majestic wave of
his hand,

The Atmosphere and Yellow Foever.8

During the yellow fever epidemic of
1879, Mr.. William Van Sloolin, G. E.,
of New Orleans, made chemical analy-
sis of the air from September to No
vember "a, and found, according to DR..
Clendinning, of Fort Lee, N. J., series
of extraordinary variations in the
amount of free and albuminoid ammo
MIA to the million of cubic feet of at
mosphere. These correspond very
curiously with the progress and fuctua-
tions of the epidemic. For instance,
on September 8, the analysis showed
1862 grains of free and 350'56 grains
of albuminoid ammonia to each 1,000,-
600 of cubic feet of air. On September
10 the albuminoid ammonia stood at
the extraordinary figure of 40o'75 grains,
This was its biggest point, and, with
many fluctuations from day 10 day, it
gradually declined as the epidemic wore
Quits fury, until on November "a the
amount was only 1925 grains. The
curve of the free ammonia was less
regular, but the decline had general
correspondence with that of albuminoid,
until on November "a the amount had
fallen to % 81 grains. The amount of
ozone showed a similar variation from
half grain per 100 cubic feet Of air
on September IS, to seven grains on Oc-
tober %, from which it appeared that
the increase of ozone was accompanied
by constant decrease of ammoniacal
products. The fuctuation of both from
day to day and week to week, as the
wave of the epidemic rose and fell, was
very striking. -g {.

Niagara Falls in the Winter.


"I like to cone to these places out ct
the season." the sad passenger remarked.
F" The very quiet is quieter than 1t Is
anywhere else. There is subdued air
about the hackmen that impresses me
like the brown. dead leaves and the
hushed repose of the woods in winter.
You walk UP and down the long deserted
corridor in the hotel, and no arnbushed
portet Jumps cut upon you with w1sp
broom in one hand and place fof
dollar in the other. There is no cheer
full sound of music and of dancing feet
in the eventide. The dancers and the
musicians are gone. The leader OF the
band is up in Buffalo saving away in an
orchestra, the Polish Count has renewed
his stand behind the third chair in a
Cleveland barber shop. Niagara IS
pleasant to me in the winter time. L
like to see ballroom wearing the sack
cloth of Lent. like to wander through
Vanity Fair when the erewd is gone, the
lights turned down, and the garlands
withered. l feel a sorrowfdl pleasure
in standing in the theater when the
stage is deserted and the chairs, and
boxes emptied. When the murdered
king has got up from the trampled
sward and the blood stained daisies,
hung his gemmed crown of glittering
brilliants on nail, given his purple
robe and puissant sceptre to the prop
erty nan, and gone home to rub taliow
ON his nose and doctor cold III his
head; when the stricken queen, full OF
the death that she drank ffom the
poisoned chalice, has gone home to put
on calico wrapper and hush the fret

A Bad Girl to Marry.

A bad daughter, says an exchange,
seldom makes good wife. If girl is
ill-tempered at home, snarls at her
parents, snaps at brothers and sisters,
and shirks" her ordinary duties, the
chances are ten to one that when she
gets home of her own she will make it
wretched. There are girls who fancy
themselves SO far superior to their
parents that the mere privilege of en-
joying their society in the house ought
to be all the old people should have the
assurance 10 ask. While their mothers
are busy with domestic duties they sit
in the easiest chairs, or lie on the softest
sofas. feeding on cheap aud trashy
novels, and cherish the notion that
they are very literary individuals. The
household drudgery is too coarse for
such fine ladies as they are. Girls of
this sort are generally very anxious to
he married, that they may escape the
disagreeab of a home where they
are held more or less under subsection.
A caller who doesn't have chance to
see how they behave ss:daughters, may
lie excused for fancying them lovely
and lovable beings; but one who does
Gee it is foolish if he commits himself
by Offering marriage to girl of this
sort. If she will not assist her mother
in the domestic lab ,rs, is she not
likely to be equally s'othful and ill
tempered when she marries? If she
now thinks herself too fine to work, is
it'safe to expect that her views as to
that matter would radically change if
she became a wife?

What the Whale Looks Like.

A man who has never seen whale
can have little idea of its helplessness
on land. 1t is as awkward as locomo-
tite in mill pond, The back of the
Stanton-street whale shone like polished
ebony. Its sides were lighter. while its
immense belly was ike Egyptian ivory,
with massive wrinkles below the Jaws,
running back at least twenty Feet. The
mouth yawned like the vault of raw
ished saving bank. and it's sculptured
tail embodied the outlines Of the fukes
on White Star propeller: The flesh
was hard as tulcapized rubber, and great
livic spots on the side showed where
wounds had brought the blood to the
surface. The captain explained to the
visitors that the whale was not so large
as he was before they cut him open and
removed the contents of his internal
revenue department. eve found ten
bushels of herrings in him." said the
captain, "but no boots, nor watches, nor
pawnbrokers' tickets The eyes are
small and placed far back in the head,
so as to leave room for the whales coun-
t. nance. His head forms quarter of
his whole body. A few hairs sprout
fro m his nose, like the chin whiskers on
a Chinaman. If he had fur like seal
the market would be ruined. Whales
breathe through TIE tops of their heads,
and the water they spout out prevents
friction, consequently they mover snore
when sleeping. If they did, thunder
would be at 2 discount. The. tail is
forked, flexible and formidable, and with
it the whale is able to prevent sharks
and flies from disturbing the slumber of
his young Whales never laugh even
when in school. Authorities on whale
culture say that it's skin is affected with
the cr,tstuceah cyanaus or whale louise,
consequently when he itches he has to
scratch himself against icebergs and
ships. The stomach is bulkheaded into
from three to six water-tight COM
partments, so that he does not sink
when absent-minded, and sailors and
fish do not get mixed when swallowed.
AS rule their teeth are scarce, but they
carry $500 worth of whalebone in their
mouths These bones terminate in kind
of scrubbing-brush fringe, which strains
food, and in foggy weather prevents
whales from swallowing sharks and
steamboats, and other things that might
derange their liver and spoil the quality
of their oil. The flesh of whale is red,
substat ;ial and vigorous, but it is not so
delicate as venison nor SO palatable as
woodcock, but it will 60 further in a
clearinghouse if the weather is warm.

Mistress and Servant.

There must be new relation between
mistress and servant, based on mutual
concession and mutual respect. The
mistress must abate that petty tyranny
which seeks to control the servant, body
and soul, by day and by night, as if the
fact of wages paid constituted an in.
visible yoke of bondage, like the collar
of Gurth, the swine-herd.
For certain sum the maid agrees to
render certain services, which can not
be 90 explicitly stated. When those
are done, her time ought to be consid-
cred her own; and it should be the
duty and pleasure of her mistress to
teach her to spend it wisely, if she does
not know how. With this understand
ing almost any servant could be stimu-
lated to great thoroughness and quick
ness in her work. And the mistress
should labor to make them understand
that their interests are allied to hers,
nor hostile to nor separated from them.
That any of these reforms should be
accomplished, it is nece sary that the
term Of service should be of certain
fxity of tenure. 1t would tend to be-
come so under better conditions, and if
housework were no longer felt to be the
lowest form of labor. But one remedy
which might be Immediately applied is
the Irish system of discharge papers.
Each servant, on leaving a place, re-
ceives paper stating when the service
was entered upon, and when ended,
with the cause of dismissal or resigna-
tion. Each new employer demands to
see them, and the unwillingness of serv-
ants to produce folio of these pages
noticeably binders their fugacious ten
dency. An unusual number of eds
charges" shuts any well-kepta and
desirable house against their possessor.
The conditions of household service
call for the best thought of the best
women. And they can not feel that
their duty is discharged until there
grows out Of the ruins of the old tyran-
ny, on the one haud, and the old SER
Witty on the other, new relation of
mutual beueft, which, in many cases,
shall deserve the noble name of friend

Another Extinct Race that Never Elk.
listed.

One of Mark Twain's best points was
made when he described the Indians of
Cooper's novelS as an extinct race that
never existed. Now Professor Stephen
son, of the Hayden surveying party in
New Mexico, is charged by Chicago
paper with giving similar report of
the Aztecs. He says they are myth,
and that the tribes known as the Cliff
dwellers are to be credited with all the
romance attached to the Aztec name.
New Mexicois full of their buried towns
and cities. During his summers work
in New Mexico, Professor Stephenson
made number of valuable collections,
including skeletons and remains of ex
tinct animals. Among his trophies are
TWO gods of Egyptian character, with
finely cut features, outstretched wings,
and traces of paint on their faces. The
Professor brought away specimens of
pottery bearing close resemblance to
that unearthed in The ruins of the Old
World, and also secured the secret of its
manufacture from the Indians, who still
make it in New Mexico.

Railroad Crossings.

Mr.. James Torrance, of Troy, N. Y,
proposes the following method of abol-
ishing the danger attending the present
style of railway crossing: He would
use for such crossings a Iail of special
form, rolled in one piece Of the usual
length, with q groove wide enough for
the fange of the car wheel to run in !;
the grove to be wedge-shaped and widest
at the top, with plain sides, SO as not TO
catch the feet of men and animals. In
this way he would get rid of the usual
trap between the planking and the
rails. Such grooved rail could easily
be kept clear of snow an ice; and the
extra cost of rolling would be nothing,
he thinks, compared with its advantage
in doing away with the risk to life and
limb attending the present style of cross
ings.
Time is money, and money is always
an object in a newspaI er Office. Long
winded bores should stick pin just

preparing for the night, thought she
saw the eye of full-!ength portrait of
Washington wink. She had heard of
burglars hiding behind pictures, but
she did not scream and faint. She took
IF her diamonds and openings drawer,
as if to put them in it, took out re-
volver and instantly fred six shots into
the head of the portrait, and the ser
wants rushed in and found there Was no
burglar there, and the $2,3 0 picture
was spoiled for nothing. Presence of
mind and c"olness don't want to be ac-
companied by too much agination.
