----1-< fSF - JEWS OF WAZAN MOROCCO.

Our presence caused grest excitement, the people pressing round our little cav alcade, and those who could not get near running on ahead and taking up d good position where we were likely to pass. Our guard were so violent in their efforts to clear a passage for us, that was glad when they turned down a narrow court, and motioning us to dismount, showed us through a low door into succession of open pdtiOs, round which the houses of the Jews were built Generally the melhd, or quarter where they live, is far dirtier than any other part of town; here it was the re- verse, and the well-to-do appearance of the grown-up people, and pretty laugh ing faces of the children, show that in Wazan, at all events the ancient race is not subject to persecution. Some of them could speak few words of Span ish, and the inmates of several houses into which we looked saluted us with :: "Buenos dias, senores.' 1 have al ways noticed how glad the Jews in Morocco are to see one, and particularly in Fez and Mequinez, after having been scowled at by the true believers as We rode along with our guard, it has been a relief to turn in to the melha and be greeted by the smiles and welcome of these persecuted Israelites. It is most difficult to form any correct estimate of the population of a Moorish town. Wazan, should say, was certainly under 10 ,000, of which the Jews num- Der probably about 600.-[ Blackwood's Magazine.

MRS. TATUM'S PLAN.

"Are you going to have some new carpets, Mrs. Tatum?" asked plump little Mrs. Wells, as she met her old friend in an upholstery establishment.
 "Only one. I've been making q pur- chase of little home, since l saw you," said Mrs. Tatum, "and find my par Tor carpet won't fit."
 "Indeed, Well, l am glad you have bought place at last" said Mrs. Wells.
 ''So am I, I was real disappointed when we failed to secure the Weldon place, last spring"
 "The story about a flaw in the title was correct then?"
 "Oh, yes. Tom found it out by mere accident, just as was about clos ing the purchase. Of course We didn't want it, then, so we've gone on renting all summer"
 "Iave you secured pleasant house, this time?" asked Mrs. Wells.
 "Nery pleasant, We think
 "Whcre is it?"
 "No. 54 Oak street"

 "Why, what do you know about it?' asked Mrs. Tatum, quickly.
 "No. 54 Oak street is where we lived last year"
 "So you did, l remember now. l called on you there, and that was what made the house seem so familiar when looked over it. Is there anything wrong, Nary"

 "Well, what was it, Nary"
 'It was the next door neighbor, Mrs. Gordon l dare say she lives there yet for they own the property, and wouldn't be likely to leave it."
 'Yes, Gordon is the name on the next door-plate. Ours is the corner house."
 "Yes. Well, I'm not given to gossip Martha, but couldn't stand her! And that is why l got away"
 "But what is the trouble? Come, now Mary, I'm not gossip either still want to know all about this. Fore warned is fore-armed, you know"
 'I can tell you, but don't see what good it will do now, as you have really taken the house. In the first place she is the worst borrower you ever saw.

When to Battle.
From the London Lancet.


If the weather be chilly, it says, or there be
cold wind so that the body may be rapidly cooled
at the surface while undressing it is not safe to
battle. Under such conditions the further chill
of immersion in cold water will take place at the
moment when the reaction consequent upon the
chill Of exposure by undressing ought to occur,
and this second chill will not only delay or alto
gether prevent the reaction, but convert the
bath from a mere stimulant to a depressant.
ending in the abstraction of large amount of
animal heat and congestion of the internal Or
gans and nerve centers. The actual tempera-
ture Of the water does not affect the question so
much as it's relative temperature as compared
with that of the surrounding air. The aim must
be to avoid two chills; first from the air. and
second. from the water and to make sure that
the body Is in such a condition as to secure q
quick reaction on emerging from the water,
without relying too much on the possible effect
of friction by rubbing. 1t will be obvious. there
fore, that both weather and wind must be care
fully considered before bathing Is begun, and
that the state Of the organism as regards fatigue
and the force OF the circulation should also be
considered, not merely as regards the general
habit, but the special condition when a bath is
to be taken. These precautions are eminently
needfhl in the case of the young or weakly.

A new horse stealing swindle is being worked
in Texas. Two fellows watch the columns Of
the newspapers for estray notices. As soon as
they learn that ranchman has taken up an
animal one Of them visits the place, examines
the horse minutely, and says it isn't his. The
other pal, being posted by the first, then goes
to the guileless ranchman and describes the
animal he has lost, which description tallies
so exactly with the one the ranchman has taken
up that he thinks the stranger must be the
owner, and gives 1t up without further proof
Then the supposed owner talks about the dis
lance to his home, ETC., and, finally. Offers to
sell 1t ct about half its value. The unsuspecting
ranchman often bites ct at this opportunity,
and, after he has gloated over his bargain for .
few days, the real owner; comes along. proves
his property, and leaves thevictim where Joseph

Effect of the Night Air.

The Westminster Recie,c quotes from Miss
Nightingale some very sensible remarks on the
subject Of night air. Her accomplishments as a
scholar and her experience as a nurse give
great weight to her views on this important
subject. She says the dread of night air is an
extraordinary fallacy. What air can we breathe
at night but night air? Our only choice lies be-
tween pure night air from without or foul night
air from within. It is unaccountable that most
people prefer the latter. What would they say
If it is proved to be true that One-half of the
diseases that we suffer from are occasioned by
people sleeping with their windows shut? An
open window during most nights of the year
can never hurt any one. In great cities night
air Is often the purest and best that can be OBJ
tanned during the twenty -four hours. There
tore in town it would be better, If either must
be done, to shut the windows during the day
than during the night for the sake of the sick
The absence of the smoke and the quiet of
the streets make the night the best time for
airing the patients. physician considered as
mate, asserts that the air in London is never so
pure as after 10 o'clock at night. An immense
amount OF fresh air is required for healthy res
piration. The average respiration Of man Is
estimated at twenty-four cubic inches, and the
ute is twenty. Therefore. four hundred cubic
feet OF air pass through the lungs Of an ordinary
man In twenty-fOur hours And vet knowing
this fact, we shut up our house and go to sleep
without thought for the supply Of the life
giving oxygen, as necessary for the well-being
OF the delicate tissues of the lungs as food for
the renewal OF the tissues Of the body. If we
had to buy pure air as we do precious stones we
should soon appreciate its worth. Because it is
as free as air" we are unwilling to take the
pains and care to regulate our windows for its
judtcious supply, and carelessly breathe tainted
atmosphere. which brings disease and thou

Has Vulcan Left the Skies!

From the New York Sun.
1t seems, from the report Of the astronomers
who went to the South Pacific ocean to observe
the total eclipse of the sun on May 6, that there
is no planet Vulcan after all.
The story Of this supposed planet is very
curious. Many years ago LIE Verrier. the
famous French astronomer, after it had become
certain on account of Irregularities in the
motions of the outer members of the solar
system that there must be another planet be-
yond Uranus, figured out the spot where this
planet should be, and then sent word to the
men who handled the big telescopes Of Europe
that if they would look in that spot they would
see new world. They looked, and 10! the
round green disk of the planet Neptune slowly
sailed into the field of view. Applying similar
methods of research LIE Verrier afterward an
nounced that there must exist between Mercury,
the lnHermOst known planet. and the sun one or
more unknown planets which produced other
wise inexplicable perturbations in the motions
OF the other planets. 1t has been generally
supposed that these perturbatiOns were caused
by meteOrfc matter gathered in dense streams
around the sum- but some have ALWAYS MAIN
tanned that planet must exist there, and in
1852 French amateur observer announced that
he had seen it. It was called Vulcan, a very
appropriate name, considering that it must face
the nerce rays OF the sun at exceedingly close
quarters.
During the total eclipse of 1878 two American
observers, Prof Watson, of Ann Harbor, who
has since dice, and Prof Swift, of Rochester, be-
Ieved that they also had seen the long-sought
Vulcan. In fact, they saw two supposed planets
close to the sun, SO that the new Vulcan, it ap-
peared had brother. There have been three
total solar eclipes since 1873 which had been
observed by parties of astronomers sent to vari-
GUS parts of the world for the purpose. but, al
though on each occasion careful watch was kept
for Vulcan and his brother planet. not glimpse
has been caught of them. The May eclipse was
very long one, the longest since 1868, and on
this account it offered unusual facilities for the
search for intra-Mercurial planets, but none
were seen.
1t seems probable therefore, that some mis-
take was made in 1878, although it is still not
impossible that one or more planets do exist
close to the sun, and their presence was de-
tected in 1873 on account OF their being In ex-
ceptiOnally favorable positions In their orbits.
On the whole, however, 1t Is likely that astrono-
mers will conclude that the modern Vulcan Of
the solar system is as mythical as his ancient
namesake.
