Jared Peace, the historian of Enfield, says the interest in the last election was not near as great as when he was young, and cites the following illustration: George Killom and his son Timothy were politically opposed to each other, and when the son came before the board to be admitted as an elector, the father objected and brought the attending midwife before the board to prove that the son was born at such 8 time of the day that twenty one years would not elapse till nearly an hour after the time of closing the polls, and thus deprived the son of voting.

WASHING THS AIR.
How the Atmosphere of London Is Puri.
fled by 4 Rainfall.

How the Atmosphere of London Is Puri
fed by Rainfall.
Those who complain of rainy weather
do not realize that not only does the
earth need washing. but also the air
which we breathe so many times day.
The effect of rain upon the air and the
contents of rain have been made a sub
ject OF examination by the M4teorologi-
cal Council of London during the as
two years. Three stations were used
for collecting the rainfall--One at St.
Bartholomew Hospital, another ut
Upper Hamilton Terrace, in the north
west portion of London. and Il third at
Hackney. 1t was found that the city
rain contained twice as much impurity
Is that which fell at the suburban
stations. and the impurities gathered at
all the stations were in the same proper
ton. The chief Impurities were found
to be SulphateS and chlorides, and it
was d ;scOvered that the rain caught at
ST. Bartholomew was always cOntami-
mated with SCOT and diSagreeable to the
taste. The summer rain is more impure
than that of winter. and in the mixture
of London rain and SCOT trace of
arsenic is found. In summer the rain
was shown to contain a larger quantity
of sulphates than chlordeS. which was
supposed to be owing to the decompoSi-
ton of animal and vegetable matter
during the warm months. After the
rain has b,2n falling for some time the
impurities are found to diminish, and
the satisfaction with which we breathe
in the washed air after a good rainfall
is an evidence that our senses bear
spontaneous testimony to its purifica-
ton.
1t has been supposed that London
rain is acid, but experiments indicate
that such is not the ease. except when
the rain is collected in az open vessel
and left exposed for some time. Under
such circIm stances the water VIII
always become acid, since the acid is
washed ont of the SCOT. which exists to
such great extent in the air OF London.

crow-baits are ridden in and another
bull Is brought from tb2 corral. The
same scenes recur, the horses are
always killed, but the men are seldom
injured. Four bulls are usually dis
posed of each Sunday afternoon before
the appetite for blood is satiated.
This cruel sport in Mexico is in its
dccadcnce. 1t grew ont OF the lack OF
other en- ertainment. Until two Fears
ago there was no horse-racing in Mex
leo. and this class of sport is unknown
outside of the capital. The young mea
are not allowed to visit the girls. are
not permitted to walk with them in the
parks. and have. in short. no amuSe-
ments but billiards, cOck-fg hting and
buII-baiting. The exodus of foreigners
into the Republic will break many Of
the barriers down. While the Grin
Cos" as foreigners are called. generally
conform to the customs of the country,
they refuse to accept all of them and
the Mexican people are gradually tend
ing toward a more modern civilization.

| forget just what court he was Judge

he had paid out twenty-five dollars in

through. He vowed by his badness
that he wouldn't pay out another red
cent, and we encouraged him as hard Us
we could.
When we went up to the hotel the
landlord gave lis Il big room with three
beds in il. \ big negro brought the
trunks up. and when he was ready to

miles away, and the complainant was

1t took the two of us to hold the Judge
down on his back during his first par

said:

We sat on the Judge again for about

he handed over the amount and was
pronounced sane.-DetrOH Free Press.

PUBLIC HOSPITALITY.


The Lesson Taught by the People OF Be.
niShted India.
The people of India shame Us by some
of their customs. There is not. Sc far
rs we are aware. a single place Oh any
American road where respectable trav
clers. much less trampS, are provided
with food free of cost. We draw line
at watering-tcoughs. The Indian goes
much further. A writer SAYS: The
waySide hospitality is a peculiar feature
noticeable in Indian travelling in the
summer months, which. as an act OF
love and charity, deserves commenda-
ton.
This institution is no reSpectOr of
persons or castles. and beasts of burden.
and even the de ,pised dogs. are included
ia it with genuine fraternity. On the
high roads of travel. all through the
country. there are cottages built at in
tecvals by the hospitality of individual
persons and rich men of the loc 'e>,
where tired passengers are rested and
refreshed.
.'Elch cottage has hired host. who
Is Brahmin or other hgh-caSte per
son. and it is his duty to ask the paS>er-
by to walk in and be rested. ANY one NAV
come in and be entertained with soaked
peas, molasses and cold water free of
charge.
''Often an old couple, retired from
the world. spend their evening days and
whole savings in such acts of charity.
Large tubs full of water are placed ont
side the cottage for cattle and other
beasts. ''-Youtt's Companion.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, January 23.-Mr.
Pierre LOrillard has been travelling through
the South in the beautiful Mann bOudoir
car, tie Adeline Patti, which he leases for
SlOJ per day. His wife and party of
friends accompanied him. Last night, in
coming up the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad, he had his car attached to the
engine to escape the smoke. As the train
neared sharp curve in the road, going at
the rate of twenty miles an hour, two little
boys were seen on the track frantically
waving their hats. The engineer succeeded
in stopping the train at the edge of gap,
the bridge over which had been flOated off
by a swollen stream. The boys had stood
there for four hours in the cold. y cOllec-
ton was taken up for the little heroes, and
the millionaire Lorillard passed out five
dollars.

Agreement.

NEW YORK, January 20.
B. F. Butler has begun suit in the United
States Circuit Court against Stephen b.
Elkins, 10 compel the latter to make a
deed conveying to the former 100000
acres of land, being a part of the Mora
grant in New Mexico. About February
LIST, 1884, Butler agreed to purchase the
land at seventy-fve cents an acre provid-
ed the title was clear. He sent o. ID.
Borker to New Mexico, who examined the
titles and found part of them to be clear
and the balance clouded. Butler offered
SIS, 900 for the land despite these obJec-
tons, which proposition was accepted by
Elkins. Several deeGs were drawn, but
all of these instruments were objection
able to one or the other OF the princi-
pals. Butler asks that the Court compel
Elkins to make out a proper deed, and
meanwhile the defendant is enjOined and
restrained from disposing of any of the
property mentioned.
