curious Parfsian Henri Delaage, died re- gently at the age of fifty-seven. He was the author of several strange and mystic books For nearly forty years he lived in the same room in hotel in the Rue Duphot. His daily life never varied. About noon he would breakfast on cup of coffee and cigar, read the papers, and loaf until dinner time. He was the close friend of the jour nalist Henri de Pene, at whose table his place was laid every night After dinner he used to fit from theater to theater. collecting all the greenroom gossip he could fnd At mid night he communicated the results of his har- vest to De Pene, accompanied him to his door, and then went to bed himself De- laage's sole occupation in life was to be acquainted with everybody he knew the history of every noted parsonage in all the spheres of the Parisian world. It used to be reported that after the Revolution of 1S48 he had a fortune of 60, GOO francs, which he con- verted into twenty-franc pieces and placed in a box. When he needed louisa rare phenomenon-he took one from this pile. Delaage was the grandson of the famous chemist Chaptal, founder of the college of that name

nature demands. It is very pretty, but it is
 as unlike the camping out of Kit Carson as
 MT. Wemmick's Walworth castle was to a
 dungeon keep, or as Marie Antoinette's farm
 yard play at Trianon resembled agriculture
 on clay soil in a wet year. Yet in unex- plored Surrey, in the Welsh mountains, by the wild hords of West Scotland-in a score of places-there are spots almost as tangled as any in America Here camping out might be followed to perfection. Far away from the sights and sounds which e77aali has eaten into the brain surrounded by occupations widely different from any which have dis tracted the campers for half the year, they will be busied with work strange, and there fore cheery, feast on trout from the burn, on snipe spitted round the fire and on muir fowl which has fallen on the misty Ben, over which the sun rises so lazily. The air is full of sweet odors and pleasant echoes. The eye will see sights such as it never sees under homelier skies; and as the houseless men lie O nights under the stars, they may mark that strange movement which seizes alJ~ living things just before dawn, and feel the cool breeze blowing over the weird like woods just before the sun gilds the mountain tops, or resolves the blurred landscape of darkness into it's component elements.

DISCOVERIES IN ICE.


 There is a widespread notion that water is purified by freezing, and that ice is pure even though it may come from ponds and lakes whose waters are impure Lately, however, this idea has been attacked, and it has already been shown to be without good foundation. Dr. Ephraim Cutter, of New York, has been making microscopical exami- 1 nations of ice and his finds" are reported in the last Scteatitc AnuesTca1e. They are es- pecially interesting at this season when 90 1 much ice is used.
 Dr. Cutters experiments were directed to- wards showing that ice may collect impuri- ties both from the water on which 1t forms and from the air. In his first experiment. he used piece of ice said to be from Maine and weighing thirty or forty pounds In this ice hs discovered no less than ffty-fve different kinds of stuff which nobody would care about swallowing. Thirty three of the ob. jects belong to fresh water and twenty two to air as medium of communication. Among them were yeast, bacteria, difaugia, yeast vegetating filaments n1ycelial filaments of rcd water fungus, egg of bryozoa, eggs of entom- astracca, hair of plants, wool, etc., etc. In the second experiment he found thirty eight different objects, twenty of which arc aquat- ic, and the rest come by means of air. His seventh experiment has 8 peculiar interest for people in this vicinity, for the ice he used came from New Haven, and he found it quite free from forms of life.
 The pictures published in connection with Dr. Cutters article are rather startling. There are eight of them and they show an unpleas- ant variety or worms, etc., found in ice. And accompanying the cuts are such cheering ex- plantations as this: 'Pelomyxa. This means mud mucus' It is an animal classed with the rhizopod or root-footed protoplasmic ami. malls. They are very greedy, and eat muck mud or dirt The color in this case is dark amber, and may be mistaken for deeaying vegetable matter. The writer regards them with suspicion, as contributing when dead and decaying to cause the cucumber and fish oil taste that sometimes occurs in hydrant drinking waters, notably the Cochituate."
 It appears from what Dr. Gutter says that he has not yet finished his experiments with ice. Considering the discoveries already made he says "So far as it goes, the exami- nation favors the cooling of drinking water by indirect contact with ice as & cooling agent, or by setting the filtered water in re- frigerator. How far the things named ara in- furious has not yet been settled. It is prob lem that may well attract the attention of those interested in the department of public medicine, though there is no doubt that drinking water is more potable without them.'' We should say so.

What French Women Are Wearing.
 

Parisian milliners and dressmakers have to make heavy cali upon their inventive facul- ties in the month of July, when their fair customers are trottlng down to Trouville, to Dieppe, or elsewhere, in search of pleasure and health. The style of feminine attire entirely from that approved of for Paris. Walking costumes, morning dresses, all the various changes indispensable to Paris ienne when at the seaside, must be novel, original and striking, something quite out of the common run, no matter how ugly, pro- vided they be sufficiently eccentric in pattern and make.
 This year lady who aims at being unim- peachable on the score of fashion will be dressed somewhat after the following man. ner. She will wear on her head colored cambric hat or bonnet, supported by whale bone, and bearing strong family likeness to battered umbrella, weather beaten by long use. The rest of her person will be arrayed in what Is called Ln robe c ina0ges or the pic ture book dress.
 Some ladies will exhibit little boys and girls dancing around upon their backs others will have groups of children eating cakes on their skirts, or vulgar little urch1ns putting out their tongues on their sleeves, or otherwise improperly conducting themselves on their founces and frills.
 There will be shepherds and shepherdesses for those who are more poetical in their
 
 sailors to meet the requirements of others, little devils and imps performing variety of antics for such as have preference for the diabolical, and so on, until a party of ladies with different partialities would, setting aside whatever personal charms they may possess, be really interesting and attractive study to the seaside lounger.
 A costume one hears of as destined to ere ate a great sensation is the Jardin d. Aeclima tion dress, which is thickly covered with minute elephants dogs, camels, etc., all artistically grouped and represented in the most natural attitude.
 Most of these costumes are made in linen, cambric or some such light material A lady who applies to her coutu,fere for one made in some heavier stuff is told that her choice lies, as far as pattern is concerned, be- tween the mattress design and the Louis Quinze curtain model.

The rate of interest on money is very low, and some think that it is likely to continue so for several years at least. If it does there is no reason why good real estate should not in- crease in value. AS the Hartford Cowunt says: 'The intelligent capitalist can easily find such property which will return an in terest of six or eight per cent. net, exclusive of taxes and repairs, with reasonable cer- tainty of steady increase in value. We do not look for real estate boom like that preceding the last panic, but steady rise in value will be witnessed until the returns come m ore nearly to the level of the interest on other forms of safe and permanent invest ment."

People in New York city are complaining about not getting water enough, and by way of reply Commissioner Thompson says that from the first of January to the first of July of this year the aqueduct has delivered in the city little over 95 1000, ,OoO gallons of water per day, which is it's utmost capacity, while during the same time the supply in the Gro. ton valley has been so abundant that with every reservoir and lake filled to high water mark and the aqueduct running full, an aver. age surplus of 5oo, GOO, ,ooo gallons per day has been running over the dam into the Hudson river. With the present aqueduct, therefore, they have been able to get into the city only one-sixth of the supply which might have been had for the past six months if there were sufficient storage and aqueduct capacity to retain it and bring it to the city. He then goes on to say: Any assertions or expres- sions of opinion that the aqueduct is not allowed to bring in all the water which can be passed through it, or that all the water received Is not distributed to the people for use, or that any of it is held back or misap. piled by the department are based on ignor- ance or wilful misrepresentation.
