A Great Wash Day

lPar,s Cor. Boston Transcript
We have just had mi-careme such
as Paris has not witnessed for several
years. Turing the afternoon the boule.
wards were 80 thronged by sight-seekers
that one could only move at small
space. The mi-eareme is the great fete
of the washermen and washerwomen.
Some of your readers may ask what men
have TO do with the wash-tub In
France they have much to do with it,
Here men claim their right to wash and
scrub, iust as women claim their right
TO vote and TO shoot their enemies.
Both sexes batter your linen TO pieces,
burn it with sulphuric acid, and grind
off your buttons in perfect amity. But
on the mi-careme there is not man nor
a woman who would eondescend to look
at wash.tub. In the world of soap
and soda it is the day of days. Then
you must expect to see your buxom
laundress attired as a much decollete

About ? o'clock on Sunday afternoon
the citizens in the neighborhood of the
precincts of Plum valley were enlivened
by the strains of music by the fireman S
band, under the leadership of | TO-
fessor Gushing. They were discoursing
airs on the occasion of the funeral serv-
ices of one Chin Choo, an aged China
man who had died and who was about
to he laid away by his fellow heathens
in good style. Shortly after the strains
of music had died away the procession
came down into Second South, fled
right TO Main street, up block and east
and north TO the southeast corner of
the city cemetery.
In the lead of the procession were
some of the dignitaries of the Use Zip
company in carriages, then tramped a
number of hag-bearers, with colorS of
red, white, black, green, yellow and
pink, yariously distributed an in all
manners of jagged and unseemly shapes.

The New Star In AndrOmeda

There is one counterpart and only one, in
astronomical history to the recent phenome-
non Of the nebula in Andromeda. That is the
compact uebula or cluster of stars in the con-
s,ellAtion Scorpio, which WAS discovered by
Messier about 1850. 1t was called by him a
nehula without stars, but Sir William
Herschel found il to be = rich condensed mass
Of stars Of the fourteenth magnitude. In
most telescopes it appears simply asa pale
cometsry- looking object. and remained so up
to 1889. May 2l OF that year there WAS found
by Auwers bright seventh magnitude star,
which appeared 50 suddenly that Auwers was
certain that nothing of the kind was visible
three DAYS previous. The same phenomenon
Was discovered independently in England BY
Pogson. May %. He wa startled to find this
star. and from his description it appears to
have been somew hat fainter than when Auwers
found it. BY June 10, 1859, this stellar OBJ
iect had entirely disappeared, and the nebula
resumed its usual diffused appearance. The
phenomenon which has now been discovered
in the nebuls OF Andromeda appears to be an
exact repetition of this earlier oue-especsl-
ly ss in both cases the nebula presents to the
spectroscope a continuous spectrum-that is
to say, such a spectrum as light coming from
solid incandescent matter shows, here being
nothing gaseous about il. Since 1859 the
nebula in Scorpio has been closely watched,
and Mr.. Chandler. of Harvard College Oh.
servatory, has observed it with special refer.
ence to the rediscovery of this star. but i,
never has appeared. Boston Advertiser,

The fatal explosion of gas in the Otto
Colliery near Branchdale, Penn, does not
appear to be directly due to anybody
carelessness. The mine was considered a
safe one. The place where the explosive
gas collected had been examined only a
short time before the disaster occurred,
and the men who were killed or injured
had no reason to suppose they would en-
counter danger when they approached the
spot with their naked lamps. But should
they have been allowed to carry unpro-
tected lampsp Possibly the coroner will
say that they should not There are
lamps which do not cause explosions, and

sciences OF the owners may well reproach
them for not having provided safety lights
