have its coinage continued, while SO
much remains idle, and there seems to
be no scarcity Of currency" At about

the President, one of our leading mer-

Never Omen the Car Window.

1t is uncomfortable travelling in the
sweltering heat, anyway, but doubly
SO when, through every open window,
the smoke, and heat, and cinders are
pouring in. Old travellers realize this,
and keep their windows closed, for
they know that each car is well pro-
vided with ventilation from the top.
There is really no need of an open
window, and no open window in dusty,
hot weather can add to ones comfort.
But people who travel little do not re-
alize this. They feel hot and stifed,
and up goes the window. The wind at
first feels grateful, but soon the cloth
ing. lace, neck, and hands are filed
full of dust, and the eyes of cinders.
But it is not so much the one who
opens the window who suffers as those
who sit seat or two behind. They
are the ones who get the benefit of all
the SCOT and dust. Courteous persons
will think much of the comfort and
discomfort which they occasion others.
We wish every traveller would make
it his or her golden rule to heed the
injunction. Would that coaches might
be invented with windows to raise when
the train is standing still, and to shut
down in spite of everything when the
train is in motion, We have suffered
more discomfort from the thoughtless-
ness of inexperienced travellers, or the
recklesspess of others just seat or
two ahead of us, than from any other
thing connected with railroad travel.
The popularity of parlor cars is chiefly
attributable to the fact that In them
the windows are generally kept closed.
Persons of means prefer to pay the
extra fare to be rid of the unnecessary
smoke and dust of the common coaches.
1t seems impossible to regulate the
thing. We have often watched it. The
conductors and brakemen may close
every window and explain the reason,
but when the next station is reached in
will come some excited woman or YER
dant man, about to travel ten miles,
who will hoist window almost before
taking a seat. You may feel provoked
and look daggers at the offender, but
it does no good. The innocent-minded
person has done nothing but raise a
window, and can't suspect that you
have taken umbrage at that. The only
way is to pay your money and take
your choice of o parlor coach, if there
be one on the train, or silently and
good-paturedly as possible bear the
smoke and dust which fellow-travelers
let in upon you.-Michigan Christian

East Indin TnttieS.

In India they have way of making
screen called "tattie," which is de-
scribed in the Christian at Work as a
large curved or sloping screen, which
Is accurately fitted into each door or
window facing the west, the prevailing
direction from which the wind blows
in India. 1t is made of the roots of
the "khuskhus" grass, which singularly
combines strength and porosity with
the most delicious and refreshing fra
GRANGE. These screens are about an
inch in thickness, and during the hot
and dry west winds are saturated from
outside with water, which Immediately
commences evaporating, and, as evapo-
ration always produces cold, the wind,
which in the veranda would raise the
thermometer to 100 deg, passes into
the house at 70 or so deg, laden with
a delicious fragrance. While tatties
are in working order all other cooling
appliances are unnecessary. In the
neighborhood of Gwalior and Jhansi
there is another form of tattie. A
small, creeping, thorny variety of the
Der (Lizyphus iujuba) is largely found
In the lungles. This is collected and
dried, and at the proper time the whole
west veranda is inclosed with thorny
walls nine or ten inches thick, and,
these being saturated from tie outside,
all doors are thrown open and de-
lghtful temperature is secured. Tat
ties are of no use during the easterly
wind, which ushers in and accompanies
the rains; laden with moisture, it is a
damp wind, and therefore retards
evaporation. For our own country,
the sweet grass used in so many forms
in the Indian goods sold at Mount Des-
ert would produce precisely the same
effect as "khuskhus" grass, and it is
surprising that no one has yet thought
of its application.

The Russian National hymn, sim
pie but noble strain, we'll known in
England, was composed by General
Alexis Lwoff. The melody, without
possessing any of tho characteristics
peculiar to Russian popular music, Is
eminently fitted for its purpose, and
has, like the Austrian National Air,
been frequently used as a hymn-tune.
In his Memoirs" General Lwoff thus
relates the history of its composition :
In 1888, l accompanied the Emperor
Nicholas to Prussia and Austria. On
our return to Russia, was informed
by Count de Benkendorff that our
sovereign, regretting that we Russians
had no national hymn, requested me to
try and write such composition. The
problem struck me as extremely diff
cult and serious. Recollecting the i'm
posing British hymn, God save the
King" the French hymn, SO full of
with its touching music, felt and COM
pretended the necessity of producing
something vigorous, grand, moving,
and national, fit to be heard in a church,
in the ranks of the army, or in the
midst of popular gathering, and with
III the reach Of every one, from the
scholar to the person of no educa-
ton at all. One evening, on returning
home very late, composed and wrote
down the melody of the hymn. The
next day, called on Jouvosky to ask
him for the words; but he was not a
musician, and could not adapt them to
the finale in the minor key of the first
cadence of the melody. L Informed
Benkendorff that the hymn was ready.
The Emperor said he would hear it,
and on the Odd of November, 1888.
came to the Chapel of the Imperial
Choristers. / had summoned the
whole body of the latter, aud backed
them up with two full bands. The
Emperor had the hymn repeated several
times, then sung without accompani-
ment, and then performed by all the
executants combined. He said to me
in French, 1T is superb and there and
then ordered the Minister of War to
have the hymn adopted for the whole
army. The decree was promulgated
on the 9TH of December, and the hymn
was heard publicly for the first time on
the 18th Of December, 1888, at Mos
cow"
The Emperor presented the composer
with gold snuff box set with diamonds,
as a testimony of his satisfaction, and
ordered that the words, God protect
the Gar" should be introduced in the
armorial bearings of the Lwoff family.
Lwoff died in 1870, having suffered for
many years from a very distressing
affection of his organs of hearing

The Moon and the Weather.

Superstitions concerning the effect of
the moon on the earth are very COM
mon, but are wholly without foundation
in reality. The relation of the moon
to the earth is simply that of a satellite,
whose attraction has an important in
huence on the earth's motion in its
orbit, and on the shifting level of its
oceans, causing the tides. 1t might be
supposed that if the moon can attract
the water upon the surface of the earth
she can also attract its atmosphere, and
thus, through movement of the air
currents, have perceptible influence
upon the weather. But investigation
shows that as the aerial mass is in no
way confined In estuaries or CULTS, its
tide caused by external attraction must
be slight. So far as can be indicated by
the barometer it is too small to be worth
reckoning, being less than .001 of an
inch. The idea that the position of the
new moon concerns the weather Is ut
terly without reason. The nearly hori-
zontal crescent which is said to foretell
dry month is always seen when the
plane of the moons orbit is so situated
with regard to the earth as to carry
the moon past conjunction above the
sun, and the vertical crescent, which is
cahled wet moon because it pours the
water out-appears when the luminary
passes conjunction below the sun. In
neither case can there be anything to
affect the moisture of the atmosphere.
1t is true that many people will say
that they have observed this sign and
~never knew it to fail, but the fact with
L g.
that condolences which prove the sign
are noticed and remembered, while
those which do not are overlooked and
forgotten. Any one who will take the
trouble to write down the condition at
every lunation will find that the show
ing for the sign is very doubtful at the
end of the year. At Munich, Germany,
observations were taken for over twenty
years of the condition of the moon on
every rainy day. The sum of these
gave the larger proportion of rainy
days in the last half of the lunation. or
during the waning moon. But similar
observations made at Montpelier,
France, showed a directly opposite re-
suit, so that nothing can be said to be
proved by either series of observations.
A very generally received idea is that
changes in the weather usually coincide
with the changes of the moon. But at
Vienna series of observations gave
100 new moons with 5S changes of
weather; 100 full moons with 90
changes of weather; and 100 changes
of each quarter, 63 changes. The re-
suit might be supposed to indicate that
the new moon brings the fewest

Near Enough TO Begin On.

1t was Maine girl of whom the story
is told that she refused to marry a most
devoted lover until he should have
amassed a fortune of $4,000. After
some expostulation he accepted the de-
cree and went to work. About three
months after this the avaricious young
lady, meeting her lover, asked: "Well,
Charlie, how are you getting along?"
"Oh, very we'll indeed" Charley re-
turned cheerfully. "Pve got $1S saved. 4"
The young lady blushed and looked
down at her walking boots, and stabbed
the inoffensive earth with the point of
her parasol. 81 guess said she, faint

changes Of weather, which is directly
contrary to tradition. Another OBJ
server by counting two days on each
side of the day of new moon, found six
new moons out of seven bring changes
of weather. But IT must be remem-
bered that in the tickle climate of the
temperate zone, if we were to take
any five days of the month for observa-
ton, we should find ma ority of them
bring change. Another belief that the
moon disperses, or, as sailors say, "eats"
the clouds, can be defended, as the full
moon reflects a very little solar heat
which may have sufficient power to ex-
pand vapor and dissipate clouds. The
traditions concerning the time of the
moon to SOW garden seed, to kill pork,
to cut timber, and the like, are founded
neither on fact nor rational theory of
any kind, and need only be tested to
show their entire absurdity.--Inter

the law they have no right to these
children. They do not know that the
sole legal right to the children rests
