SOME notion of the fearful effects of
such an epidemic rs the smallpox in Mon
troal upon the business and financial in
tcrcsts ola city may be obtained from the
fact that the Canadian metropolis will
probably need 50, 900, 900 during the COM
inc winter on account of smallpox. Bust
ness is almost destroyed for the time be-
ing. aud many of the laboring classes are
preparing to leave the city for New Eng
land. Such q pesiilcncc gives a city a
worse setback in every material way than
almost any other calamity which can visit
a modern town,
The way the authorities and the people
of Montreal have permitted the smallpox to
nirn IN that city for the past three months
is absolutely wicked and a disgrace 10 an
American city The disease has cost the
city hundreds of lives and millions OF
,%lollars. More than that, it has held the
c4niaeion until the cold weather has come,
aud it wild probably spread all through the
H'minion and all over the soribern states
Of our republic There has been an igno-
pnce and bigotry displayed by a portion
Of the people, and a want Of frmness and
intelligence on the part of the authorities,

ous Asiatie town thaa p city Of America.

In the other settlements, in towns net

aud flowers sot all in rows. The houses
ARE real Dutch houses, clean and
straight. Mademoiselle, who has spent
years in Holland and Austria and Eng
land, points out the various nation
alitics Of the residents unerringly by
their homes and their habits.
There is something touching to me, -
said my friend, ito see in tn. New World
how the people try TO keep n remem-
brancc of the old homestoads. The
Dutch built us near like their forefathers
"a possible; the English have their great
houses, and the Germans their garden
flowers, and through all the years Of
change following the settlement OF the
country these differences have been
maintained. These Dutch hamlets have,
too, the more vivid green and the pecul-
lar high colors OF Amsterdam, the
trees, even, are not like other trees they
have beer trimmed and fed and cul-
tiyated-the whole aspect is one Of
thrift, and the descendants of the
knickerbockers are prouder of their
queer homes and ancient vines than 81
any modern landscape garden.

TuE governor of Oregon has called the
Legislature Of that state in extra session
for the purpose of electinga United States
senator to succeed Mr.. Slater, whose term
has expired, but it is still doubtful whether
even this will secure a senator. The Re
publicans are divided into numerous fac
tions, none of which is strong enough to
elect its i%ayorite. \ rich mar by the
name of Soloman Hirsch is the caucus
candidate. Bnt even the people Of the
Pacific coast are becoming tired of pluto
cratic senators, and Hirsch's nomination
produced a bolt. The divisions which
existed last winter haye not been healed
and now the Democrats, who constitute n
large and aggressive minority in both
houses, threaten to absent themselves OF
O to vote, 50 that the Republicans may
fight the matter out between themselves.
This promises TO go into history as one
Of the most stubborn senatorial contests
engaged in since the caucus system be-
came powerful.

one sometimes sees a drunken man
pitched violently from a horse, and
when the bystanders rush to find him
dead, they are astonished to discover
hat he has been little injured. In his
"Sorambles Among the High Alps, -
Leslie Stephen tells the story of a
guide who, while drunk, fell over a
precipice so deep that a fall over it
seemed almost certain death, and who
yet sustained little injury. Stephen ac-
cordingly gives his readers the advice
either not TO fall over a precipice, or to
get thoroughly drunk before doing so.
The reason of this immunity is that
the nerve centers are so much paralyzed
in the drunken man as not to be af-
fected by the shock Of the fall, which,
in a sober man, would have acted upon
them so violently as to stop the heart,
arrest the circulation, and cause instant
death.

PENSION OFFICE RoMANcEs.

\ good many romantic stories are com
ing ont of the pension office sayoring of
cunning fraud. One of the latest is that
two families have been recently united
through conflicting applications. In one
case a Connecticut widow applied for a
pension and the records showed that the
man on whose account she claimed it was
himself drawing the pension through the
California agency. When informed of it
she asked his address. declaring that she
had mourned him as dead for twenty
years. Another case of a similar charac-
ter revcrscs the tale, the supposed widow
having drawn the pension of the husband
who had disappeared. When he applied
the facts can't out. In this last case the
man had applied in 1868, but had not
been heard of again until recently, the
alleged widow having in the meantime
applied and proved her claim.
The probability is that a very large
fraud is at the bottom of these pension
Office romanccs, 1t has from time to time
been discovered that information as to
pensions, back pay and bounty, has been
given out in the Washington offices,
where the records show that no applica-
ton has been made, or where the appli-
cant has not been heard from for many
years, the data being furnished whereon
to base a successful bogus claim. The
bogus claimant is usually the tool of some
swindling claim agent, who is the confed-
crate outside. These agents make the
testimony fit the case, and usually do so
with comparative impunity. as the real
claimant rarely turns up. The Connect
cut soldier drawing his pension in Califor-
mia is not usually detected, unless a widow
or the same soldier turns up somewhere
else with a claim.
There are a good many such roman
ces' on file in the second auditor Office.
Some are more extraordinary than those
given out at the pension office. A widow
conflicting with her husband dead by
ahidaviD is a mild case. They involve
such startling factors as two or three
mothers OF the same soldier, several only
sisters, two fathers, etc. A romance of a
soldier who died, leaving a couple of
widows, three mothers and two fathers to
mourn his loss and scramble for his back
pay, bounty and pension and, to add to
the departmental dilemma, suddenly
comes to life and puts in his own personal
application is one too strong for the sec
ond auditors office.

There has recently been brought for
ward n simple and ingenious appliance
for indicating the depth OF shoals in ex
ploring rivers or shallow lakes. 1t CON
sists of n long sounding-rod, ten
feet long or more, hanging yer
tically over the boats side, and turn
ing freely on a horizontal center. This
center is in the middle of a dial marked
with feet and inches. In passing over
a shoal the n end of the rod drags on
the bottom and the other points out on
the dial the depth in feet and inches.
Moreover, after n little experience, by
noting the Jars of the rod a fair idea
can be got of the character of the
bottom.

a Curiosity In Engineering.

A little curiosity in engineering has
been constructed by an ingenious clock
maker, d. A. Buck. This is in all
probability the smallest steam-engine in
the world, for it is almost microscopic
in its Dimensions. The whole machine
weighs only about n gram, or fifteen
grains, and is entirely covered by an
ordinary thimble. The stroke OF the
piston is a little over two millimeters,
OF one-twelfth inch, and its diameter is
something less than a millimeter and a
half. Nevertheless it is built up of 40
distinct pieces, fastened together by
tifty-two screws, and three drops Of
water suffice to fill the boiler and set
the toy mechanism in motion.

Tho curious blankets for which there
is such a rage nowadays are made at
Aguas Calientes, at Saltillo, and other
old Mexican cities. They are woven on
a hand loom, which is stretched from
one tree to another. These looms are
exceedingly primitive, although they
are run by Il foot-treadle which is an
improvement on the looms used by the
New Mexican Indians. The shuttle and
needle are both of wood, and the
threads are held together more firmly
by the insertion OF small sticks Of
different lengths. Tho Indians show
great skill in the blending of colors in
these blanket. Many of them are ex-
ceedingly rich and handsome, and
there is little inharmony in the shades,
These blankets arc very expensive, and
are the proper thing nowadays for
portieres to be used in halls, libraries
and studios. The Navajo is the principal
blanket making New Mexican tribe.

THE PRISONER OF rHs n.srrLg.
Secrecy the Ono An Important nn,llof
Passing the sentinels


The Gentleman Ma azintl
Inder the ancient monarchy in France
secrecy was the one all-important mat
ter whenever prisoners of state were
concerned. To them the Bastile was as
silent as the grave so long as they were
inside its walls. The orders Tor I'M
%prisonment were iven by lctires de
cachet. and these were scrutinizcd with
the greatest care. The lettre de carhct
was, in fact. a letter signed with the
king seal, and containing an order
from him, but the orders that have como
most frequently I o our noti-e were
orders for imprisonment.
Those that related to the Bastile had
TO be signed arst by the king, afterward
by a minister. Al the bottom OF the
order the governor signed a
receipt. And in nearly every
case, before the arrival of the
prisoner. the governor had already
received instructions to enter in the
register his name, the cause Tor his ar
rest. and by whose order tho arrest had
been made. { Mess these preliminary
rules had been observed entrance into
the castle was forbidden.
To effect the arrest either force or
cunning hdo lut ihtdllN usually I'll
ployed, for it was above all things nee
essary to avoid publicity. An officer
touched the shoulder of the man whom
he was about TO make prisoner with a
white wand, and ordered him in the
kings name to follow. Resistance was
not often shown, for all knew that it
would be Intellectual. A carriage was
kept in readiness, or when that was not
possible the first vehicle that could be
found was seized-again in the kings
name-and into that the prisoner was
made to enter, two or three officers sit
ting beside him.
Before opening the gates of the Bias.
tile the first sentinel cried, "l,ui vivef'
The chief escort answered, 'Grdre du
roi. A subaltern of the guard inside
the castle demanded to see the lettre de
cachet. Then he allowed the gates to
be opened, and a bell was tolled to warn
the officers inside. The kings lieuten-
ant and the captain in command of the
gates received the prisoner in due form
as he alighted from his carriage.
DE EenneYille-who was a political
prisoner in bastile during the latter
years of the reign of Louis XIV. and
who has left us a long though not al
ways a trustworthy account of his I'M
prisonment and of his sufferings-says:
"At last we reached the dreaded spot.
On entering, as soon rs the sentinels
saw us. they put their caps before their
faces. | have since learned that they
observe this strange custom because it
is forbidden them to look at the faces of
the prisoners.

by the invisible creatures in the air.
Cooking the fruit expels these, and, as
they can not pass through cotton bat
