A Mohammedan FIopeme,t.

y singular case of murder is reported To
have occurred the other day at Habiganj,
in Assam. a respectable MOhammedan, it
appears, eloped with the wife of u Muni-
puri gentleman of ASsampara. The ag-
grieved husband, on becoming acquainted
with the circumstances of the affair, pro-
ceeded Immediately TO the Mohammcdan
and demanded the instant restoration of his
spouse, but on an explanation from the Sc
ducer he was induced to return with pres
ent of Rs300 instead of his wife This dubi-
Gus transaction came to the knowledge of
the husbands fellow villagers, and they,
acting under stronger sense of wrong than
appears to have actuated the husband, pro-
ceeded in n body to the Mohammendans
residence and murdered him The murder
in due course was reported to the police,
who, on investigating the matter, found
| that the Mmipurees, some 200 in number,
were anxious TO take upon themselves the
| responsibility of the crime. They stated
| that they all killed the man; that no one
| took more prominent part than another,
and that they were all equally guilty. I'm
der the circumstances the police had no al
tentative but to arrest the whole body of
villagers, and the case is now under inves-
tigation. A Bengalee paper, i'll narrating
the above circumstances, says "What a
strange unity. We are afraid in Bengalee
village the Queens evidence would have
been forthcoming as soon as the investiga-
ton began. But in a whole army of NUM-
purees not single man could be found out
as Queens evidence" Alas for the de-
generacy of the Bengalees-I London Globe.

HUNTING THE WREN.-An old custom
called the Hunting of the Wren is still OBJ
served in the Isle of Man. A fairy who
exerted baleful influence over the island
was pursued by Il knight, and only escaped
in the moment of extreme hazard by as
suming the form of a wren. In conse-
quence of this, on the specific anniversary
the islanders devoted their energies to the
extirpation. Of the fairy, and wrens were
pursued, pelted and fired at without mercy.
The feathers were preserved with religious
care the belief being that they had pc
culiar charm in preserving their possessors
from shipwreck. Any fisherman who pro-
ceeded to sea without such safeguard was
considered exceedingly foolhardy. At
the present time, on the NOR
row of Christmas day, groups of boys
proceed from door to door, carrying wren
suspended in the center of two hoops,
which are decorated with everSreens and
ribbons. The boys pluck the feathers
from the unfortunate bird, and give one to
each literally disposed householder sing
ing meanwhile rhyme.

Color OF PURE WATER-The ingenuity
of Herr Victor has enabled him to de-
termine that the color of water, when per-
fectly pure, is a shade between blue and
green. His method of reaching this con-
clusion The Painter describes as follows
Taking two glass tubes, forty millimeters
| in diameter and about 1.5 meters i'll length,
| he connected them by means of rubber
tubing, forming tube about seven and
one-half meters long, both ends of this
| tube being fixed in glass plates and fitted
| with metal sockets, provided with brass
nozzles for filling the tube. The tube was
now placed in perfectly horizontal posi-
ton, and covered with black cloth upon
looking through the empty tube the field
of vision appears colorless, as the cloth and
the metal sockets prevent the glass from
exerting any influence; as soon, however,
as the tube is filled with distilled water an
intense bluish-green color is observed.
