STRANGE FREAKS or ELECTRICITY.
Singular Phenomena Of the New Zealand
Eruptions-A Purxiing Affair.

Singular Phenomena Of the New Zealand
Eruptions-A Puzziing Anair.
Among the many extraordinary ma
tural phenomena attending the recent
eruption of Mount Tarawera, one which
appears to me not the least singular has
been PASSED over in compai alive silence
and without exciting comment SO far as
l am aware, among the scientific or un-
scientific public. During the last week
those attending Mr.. Burton's interesting
lectures have heard there related one of
the strange and, 10 far, inexplicable cir
cumstances witnessed by Mr.. McRea
and Others of that devoted liItle band
to whom it must have seemed that hell
itself had opened to destroy them. l al.
lude to the fact of their being unable
to make water boil on that terrible
night, when earth itself appeared to be
in a state of ebullition. | give here the
narrative from Mr.. McRae's own lips
nd feel confident that few who have
read of IT,. magnificent courage and
presence of mind displayed by him
among those fearsome surroundings, and
none who have heard the plain, un-
vanished tale modestly related by HIM
self, will ascribe the circumstances as
due to the working of an overheated and
excited imagination.
Mr.. McRae says: II made George
Baker, the cook, put some water ON the
fire to make cocoa for the women, who
were cold and shivering, poor souls,
though holding up grandly. About
three quarters of an hour afterward he
met me in the passage and said to me:
Come here, SIR What is itT said

one did not excite my wonder very

stance to the Others at the time as being

Ralph Waldo Emcrson's Grandfather.

An anecdote has been preserved of Mr..
Haskins, Ralph Waldo Emerson's grand
father, which is worth relating for the
glimpse II affords Of his home life. One
day while the family were at dinner, the
distillery, which was separated by only a
thirty foot passage way from the house,
was discovered to be on fire. The large
group of children started at once and
eagerly from their places, but were in
stantly checked by their father, who, rap
ping upon the table to command atten-
ton, reyerently but briefly returned
thanks for the meal, saying, as was his
wont: "The Lord he praised for this and
all his mercies." Then, after short
pause, he added, Snow, boys, run." -

An Arithmetical Puzzle.

The sidewalk stroller Of the Chica
60 Journal submits the following
arithmetical puzzle: There were
three boys engaged in selling apples.
Two Of them had thirty apples each
and the third had sixty apples. or ex-
actly as many as the other two put
together. The first bog sold his ap>
Piles at two for one cent, and therefore
took il fifteen cents. The second
sold his apples at three for one cent,
and therefore took in ten cents. The
two together took in twenty-five cents.
But the third boy sold his sixty ap>
pies at five for two cents, and there
fore took in only twenty four cents.
How call this be accounted for? TO
sell five apples for two cents ought to
bring in as much as to sell two Of
them for one cent, and the other three
for another cent, but it seems that it
does not, if different people own the
two apples and the three | am still
bordering this perplexing situation,
and am hoip to discover some i'm
portant application Of it to my prl-
vate finances.

Wa SIN Dresses.

Among the most favored of material for
wash dresses are crinckled seersuckers, in
both broad and narrow stripes, that are
very cool and pleasant to wear. They need
only to be washed and shaken out when
soiled to be ready to put on again, as IRON
ing tlattens them and spoils their appear
ance.
Plaid and checked ginghams in the
prettiest colors are shown for morning
dresses. They are simply made with
either killed or plain skirts and pleated
Or Topped draperies that laundry easily.
A good model is dress with pattern of
red, blue and cream blocks a quarter of an
inch square, made with kilt skirt, drap-
cries and basque that are trimmed with
several rows of white linen braid.
A novelty this season is bingham that
immitates wool goods. 1t is checked
and spotted striped. with raised bourette
effects in colo-ed cotton. These are called
cashmere or bourette ginghams, and are
said to wash well.
Plain pink, blue and ecru chambrays are
shown in boxes, with deep and narrow
founcings embroidered in white. Wheels.
crescents, rings and English open work are
the designs.
There are cotton grenadines and lace
striped goods, Examines and open-meshed
canvas and nets, with embroideries and
laces to match. They are made I'D as
though they were silk, frequently mounted
on silk Innings. They can be had in olive,

Dlt now we have great demand for them.

very pleasant. Try one?"
