Comets are not unfreqnently credite0
with the possession of infinite capaci-
ties for working good or evil to the
human race, and few men are prepared
to declare upon affidavit that comet
is unable either to produce a fine
vintage or to consume II world. But
in few instances only a celestial body
of this class has been known to bring
about the perenptory dismissal of a
couple Of cabinet ministers, yet the
Shanghai Celestial Empire gives pub
licity to the following strange story,
1t would appear that the first person
in Pekin who caught sight of the
great comet that became visible in the
Chinese capital last October was the
minister of foreign affairs, Li-hong-
tsang. AS his eXcellency, towards
midnight, was strolling homeward
from the palace, where he had been re-
ceived in late audience by his imperial
master, the comet suddenly met his
eye. He at once hurried back to in
form the emperor that divine envoy,
the bearer of evil tidings, had just
appeared in the heavens. This alarm
ing announcement caused his majesty
to culver visibly from head to foot.and
to send for the court astologers without
an instant's loss of time These saga
cious functionaries, upon being asked
by their sovereign, what this lumi-
nous apparition in the sky might
portend?" replied that it was unques-
tionably intended to convey to his
majesty a strong sense of the dis
approval with which the gods regarded
the ministers of justice and public
worship. This explanation of the
celestial phenomenon recommending
itself to the emperor, lie forthwith
gave orders that two DEGREES, sentenc-
ing the obnoxious ministers to be dis
missed from their offices and banished
to remote provinces, should DO pre-
pared for his signature. BY dawn of
the day the comets mission had been
fulfilled, and the object of divine dis
pleasure were on their way to exile,
little dreaming to whom, or rather to
what, they were indebted for so sudden
reverse of fortune.

The Massachusetts ref0ruatory
prison for women is not simply penal
institution for punishment, but Is
meant to reclaim the women sent
there. The discipline is peculiar to
itself. The prisoner is informed on
her entrance that upon her own be-
hayior depends advancement, The
first four weeks she passes By herself,
seeing only such officers Of the lnstitu-
ton as have occasion to visit her. At
the end Of that time she is regularly
entered as Il first division prisoner,
unless she has been in the prison
before, in which case her probationary
term is doubled She is promoted
when she has gained certain number
of credit marks. For each week of
perfect conduct in labor and study ten
marks are allowed, and for each
offense a mark is lost. AS soon as she
is entered in this division she is set to
work in the laundry, the scWing-room
the kitchen or at brush making, these
occupations being frequently changed,
so that they may not grow monoto-
nous, and she is obliged to attend
school one hour each day. When the
requisite number Of marks is gained
the prisoner is advanced to the second
division, where another record card is
given her, and she is informed that
upon gaining the requisite number OF
credits she will be promoted to the
third division. Her work and study
continue through all the divisions, but
she has Il room that is a tritlc larger,
and is allowed a short recreation daily,
unless by some misconduct she for
feits the right. Upon reaching the
third division her room is still larger,
and the time for reaching the fourth
is less than that required for reaching
any of the others. When she is in
this final division she has room
little better furnished, with few
ornamental trihes allowed. She eats
from table on which is Il cloth, and
is occasionally allowed something
besides the usual prison fare, a cup Of
tea being considered the greatest
luxury.

The London Times Paris correspond
ent contributes some very interesting
information upon the subject of The
instruction of women in the indus
trial arts as it has been developed In
France. The first school for such
instruction was started in very small
way in 1862, and now they are in
operation all over France, teaching
special trades to young women, 1t is
stated that in one Of these which has
been ID existence but eleven years no
less than 1000 women have received
thorough instruction in trades, such as
millinery, dress-making, needlework,
wood-engraving, porcelain painting,
designing, etc. There are four general
classes that the pupil can attend-the
first for a general education, the
second f"' commercial training. the
third ~. Industrial art education, and
the fourth for teaching trades, and
workshops are attached to all the
schools in which the scholars may
learn many of the branches of indus
try hitherto pursued by men alone.
Notwithstanding her many political
and financial mistakes in some depart
ments of social economy, France is
making astonishing progress; in none

A few years ago, associations known
as Bands of Mercy were formed in
England, the object Of which was to
inculcate and promote kindness to
animals. They have achieved great
success, especially in teaching children
to show Kindness to the dumb

at the head of the organization. More
recently, organizations Of the same
character have been formed in this
country, especially in Massachusetts,,
and some Of the most prominent men

A curious Illustration of the advance
which has been made in the healing
art since the days when BARRIERS pulled
teeth, occurred recently. A young lad
was driving with his mother in a close
carriage through the streets of New
York city, when an express wagon
came dashing down cross street, and
before the driver could pull up his
horses the pole had struck through the
window of the coach, and by one of
those extraordinary accidents which
occasionally occur, to verify the adage
that truth is stranger than felton,"
had wrenched out two of the boys
front teeth, without doing him any
more serious injury. One tooth hung
by thread to the gum; the other dis
appeared. The carriage drove to the
nearest doctors, who sent its Occu-
pants to a dentists; and he put back
the tooth in its place, fastened it in
with splints, nature received it, and it
is now in as sound and good condi-
ton as any other tooth in the boys
head. A great search was made for
the missing tooth, which the dentist
would have restored in like manner,
but it was not to be found.

King Humbert, of Italy, drives MIN
self about in a T-cart, like any other
quiet gentleman in Rome. When his
carriage gets blocked, as it frequently
does in the narrower streets, he takes
it more patiently than the foreigners
do, who admire the way in which he
sits and mods and laughs to acquaint-
ances in the crowd. Both the king
and queen of Italy are extremely
simple in their appearance in public.
When the now car of Russia and his
wife were last in Rome they were
always surrounded by guards. Hum
bert and Marguerite went to call upon
the Russian royalties, driven in a
simple Victoria, and such was the
modesty of their equipage that they
could scarcely get through the guards.
