A Terrible Religion.

Baron Pallet contributes to the Paris
Figaro astrange history, under the title
Of "An Hour amongst the Dead" I" The
dead, in this case, are living women
who regard themselves as dead to the
world" They are, in fact, the little
known order of the Barefooted Clares.
These ladies possess a cloister in Paris,
in which there are eighteen nuns, and
a few lay-sisters who act as their ser
wants. Fourteen of the present staff
of nuns are under twenty-three years
of age. The reason of this, according
to Baron Pallet, is terrible enough to
Justify the intervention of the state.
The rule of the Clares is so excessively
severe that nearly all the professed in
mates die young. They wear a rough
wooden dress, with a rope as girdle;
they go barefooted on the cold stone
flooring; they never warm themselves
at fire-even the kitchen fire is plac-
ed beyond their access; they eat meat
only once a year-on Christmas day;
they sleep on narrow board; they
must spend ten hours every day upon
their knees; they are only allowed to
speak to one another on rare occasions;
they live entirely on aims. The alb
bess, through grating, assured him
that more than one of her nuns,
through cultivation of this grace of 81
lence, had actually lost the power of
forming a sentence. We doubt if Mr..
Carlyle himself would have approved
of so prodigious development of the
axiom that Speech is silver, silence
is golden" The Baron does not seem
to have suspected that the abbess
might be chatting the credulous man of
the world. When these ladies were Gin
the world" they probably had more
than enough idle and purposeless chat
ter, for they were all members of aris-
tocratic families, and have thus passed
from one extreme to the other. Each
inmate is only allowed to be visited by
ner parents once in the year, and the
interview must take place at the iron
grating where the Baron learned the
letails which he publishes. When a
lun dies she is buried by her sister
auns. The Baron regrets that ply
sician of repute cannot undertake the
autopsy of one of the deceased Clares,
Is he thinks the results would be prof
table to science.

A Gigantic Enterprise.

The East ana West India Docks
company of London has boldly en-
barked in a gigantic enterprise, for
which some commercial prophets pre-
dict a failure. This is the construc-
ton of docks at Tilbury, on the
Thames, opposite Gravesend, of such
magnitude that the Globe says: "On
the whole, this dock extension
promises to be the most remarkable that
even London has ever witnessed, and
will leave all other ports in the world
far behind" They will have a tidal
basin with depth of forty-three feet,
and the largest vessels afloat will go
in and out without regard to the tide.
The contracts call for four dry docks
with total length of 1880 feet, float
ing derrick with lifting capacity of
100 tons, special wharves and abbatoirs
for the cattle traffic, $4,000 lineal feet
of quay berths, from forty to fifty
miles of permanent railroad tracks
and large hotel for the accommoda-
ton of passengers. "Tilbury is GER
tainly at o considerable distance from
London" says the Globe, "but with

NJ. Charles Montigny, Of Brussels,
has noticed that not only does the
aurora borealis increase the scintil-
lation of stars-as other observers
have noted-but that magnetic dis
turbances produce the same effect even
when accompanied by no visible auro-
ra. The influence is strongest for stars
in the north.
Recently one man was taken very

handling poisoned hides. There is no
reason why hides should not convey
serious and fatal diseases, like clothing
Some years ago." says the Scientific

New York died from the effects of a
bite or sting of a fly which inhabited
the loft where his hides were stored"
There are reports from several parts
of Sweden of hitherto unknown and
very destructive kind of caterpillar
which is giving great deal of trouble
to the farmers and anxiety to the
whole population. 1t is gray-brown,
with deep gray stripes; its appearance
is most common after rain. It's work
on the crops has been SO serious as
to demand the assistance of the gov
ernment.
The opinion is said to be gaining
ground among metallurgists. that
whatever mechanical strength is de-
sirable, an alloy is preferable to pure
metal. One of the greatest obstruc-
tions to the mechanical value Of iron
is its tendency to crysta lie, the result
being the same whether the article be
monster gun or ships cable. But
this tendency of iron to crystalline
may be prevented by the almixture OF
other metals.
Prof. Proctor asserts that the moon
has grown old six times as fast as the
earth, comparison of the masses and
radiating surfaces of the two bodies
making it evident that the earth's
internal heat was originally sufficient
to last six times as long as the moons
supply. On the very moderate as
sumption, therefore, that only twelve
millions of years have passed since the
earth and the moon were a. the same
stage of planetary life, this astrono-
mer shows us that sixty millions of
years must elapse before the earth
will have reached the stage of life
through which the moon is now pass
ing.

APersiStent "ShadOW."

A detective recently said to a New
York reporter: "a man hired to shad-
ow party, or a shadow, as we call
him, gets about s. day and expenses,
and is paid for the time he works. a
shadow is expected to watch man
from the time he gets up in the morn
ing till he goes to bed. If it happens
that party must be shadowed night
and day it requires two men to watch
him. A shadow must watch his man
closely without himself being seen or
allowing the party to find out that he
is being shadowed. l meet the shad-
ow, for instance, and tell him that he
must keep his eyes on certain man
whom 1 designate by brushing on the
shoulder with my handkerchief. Then
l enter place, and as the man comes
out pretend to see bug on his shoul-
der and brush it off. Then l 60 away,
knowing that until give the word
that man will never be out of the sight
of my shadow. The shadow takes
him to dinner and back to his place of
business. Then to his supper, and
then down town in the evening. Then
it is that his hardest work begins. He
may have to suddenly hire hack at
big expense and follow the man out on
a carousing expedition. He finally
takes him home at night, secures a
cover and catches little sleep himself.
The securing Of a cover is sometimes
the most difficult part of the work, for
your man may live in an aristocratic
locality where there are no rooms for

to sleep night after night in coal

that every year along about the hoi-

you should prescribe conditions is
laughable. Perhaps you want to
force one of your abominable mixtures
down us. You are chief of the mixed
drinkers, and won't agree to your
conditions"

and brandy" said the Judge, who
would willingly have taken the oil to
get the brandy. -.-..

The Phantom Ship.

The anchors weighed, the harbor past,
Away! away! the ship flies fast.
The shippers wife is at his side,
In fear she scans tho darkening tide.
Pear no." quuth he; "thou'rt safe with me
Though the fiend himself should sail the seal!
And merrily no! the breczes blow
Over the sea the ship doth go.
The sen grew black, the wind blew high;
GA ship ship?" the sailors cry;
Down sank the blood-red sun in flame,
But nearer still the vessel came,
She had no sails, no oars, no crew!
But nearer, nearer still she flew.
One lone, dark man on deck they see,
They can hear HIM laughing moekingly.
The skipper stood with frozen stare,
His men were white with Wild despair;
The tempest shrieked, the sea was flame
And nearer still the strange ship came.
Down knelt the shippers wife and prayed
"God of the sailors, send us aid"
Each stony sailor bent his knee:
"Save US, o Lord! we cry to Thee"
Hurrah! Hurrah! the spell is DONE
The phantom ship is gone, Is gone
The winds are fair, and fair the tide;
The Shippers wife is at his side.
He holds her hand, he cannot speak,
A tear rolls down his rugged cheek;
And merrily ho! Ihe breezes blow.
Over the sea the ship doth go.

Somatime think you viii be glad to know
That once kept you fondly in my heart
And that your hearts true home was really

Some hour, when you have clipped away from

And idly fall 10 dreaming of the past,
And sadly think of ali your life has missed.
You will remember my true heart at last.
Or it may come to pass, some dreary night,
After day that has been hard to bear,
When you are weary, heart-sick and forlorn,
And there is none to comfort nor TO care,
That you viii close your tired eyes, to dream
OF tender kisses falling soft and hight,
OF restlul touches smoothing back your hair,
And sweet words spoken for your heartt

Oh! then you will remember, and be glad

And that your hearts true home was really
