Mr.. John Aitken, well-known in
vostigator OF tho atmosphere, has re-
Gently made q series OF experiments on
tho number ofdust particles in ordinary
air. So far his results show that out
side air, after wet night, contained
521, 900 dust particles per cubic inch
outside air in fair weather contained
2,119,000 particles In the same space,
showing that rain Is great purifier OF
the atmosphere. Tho air of the room
was found to contain 30,31S,00 parti-
clcs in the same space; that near tho
ceiling containing Ss,3l6, 900 particles
por cubic inch. The air collected over
Bunson flame contained no less than
4S9, 100000 particles per cubic inch.
The numbers for n room were got with
gas burning in the room, and at a
height OF four feet from the floor.
These figures, though not absolute,
show how important is the influence OF
a gas jet on the air wo breathe, and tho
necessity for good ventilation in apart
ments. Mr.. Aitken remarks that there
seem to be as many dust particles in u
cubic inch OF air in n room at night
when gas is burning as there are inhab-
itants in Great Britain, and that in
three cubic inches of tho gases from n
Bunsen flame there are as many parti-
cles rs there are people in tho world

oueried whv General Meade had nj,

queried why General Meade had moi
ordered his center to make n counter
charge upon the Confederate lines on
Seminary Ridge after the repulse OF
Pickett's assault. THAT was an error,
a fatal error, on your side," said Long
street. when Pickett's ragged lines
fell back from that heroic assault, we
who stood on Seminary Ridge looked
long and anxiously at yourlines. Would
the army in blue mako general ad-
vancep That was the question that
thrilled all our hearts with anxiety.
Our lines were thinned by the three
days struggle. We could not have re-
sisted counter-attack. Had General
Meade ordered charge on our position
then firmly believe that the war would
have been ended on that day. Gcttys-
burg would have been the Appomattox
OF the war;"
Then the party drove and rode
through the DEVILS Den and tho Wheat
Field and Peach Orchard to the site
where stood during the battle the Rog-
ers house, where Miss Rogers baked
bread for the boys. There Generals
Longstreet, Sicklcs, Slocum and Carr
sat under tree which has grown on
the spot where another tree was liter
ally cut down by bullets. Some veter-
ans of the first Massachusetts ap-
preached, and one of them said to Long
street as he proiIered n glass: Were
going TO punch you, General" The
beverage was harmless and the toast
was friendly. The talk here turned
for time upon "reminiscences of Miss
Rogers. General Carr told how she
turned out loaves from her oven, which
the hungry soldiers dcvoured eagerly,
and General Slocum remembered that
during the height of the fray soldier
tottered into the yard and sank upon
the grass. Miss Rogers came out to
him. Are you tircd?" the girl asked.
"Yes, and hungry" family replied tho
soldier. Miss Rogers rushed into the
house and back again, bringing bread.
Here, eat" said she. The soldier an
swered not. She shook his shoulder,
and by the motion his face was turned
to her. II was that OF dead man. "

METHODIST NUNS.
The New Religious Order Established by
the General Conference.

the General Conference.
Methodist nuns are to be novelty in
feminine experience. They were Gre
ated by the Methodist General Confer
ence, after Il careful consideration of the
subject by the committee on missions.
The idea came from Rev. DIR. j. NJ.
Thoburn, to whom it was suggested by
an eX-Catholic priest who had become
. Methodist, and who strongly advo-
catod it. The committee reported
favorably, and the Conference inserted
in the discipline of the church section
regulating them. They are to be called
deaconesses, and they will be very SINH
lar to the nuns of the Roman Catholic
Church, except that they are not to
take VOWS of life service or of celibacy.
Every annual conference in which these
deaconesses are established will have u
board Of nine members to control this
kind of work. Nothing more definite
than that was done by the conference,
but DIR. Thoburn tells your correspond
| ent that the Methodist nuns will be
very likely to wear distinctive costumes,
| and live in houses by themselves. They
will minister to the poor and the sick,
care for orphans and do other work OF
charity. They will be required to serve
probation OF continual service for two
years before being made deaconesses,
and they will have to be at least twenty
five years of age 1t has long been
IA hobby OF Rev. DIR. Dix, of
the Trinity Episcopalian Church, to
have such duties performed by regular
orders OF women, and he succeeded,
several years ago, in forming an organ
ization OF Episcopalian nuns, but they
have not been formally indorsed by the
denomination, and so the Methodists are
| the first Protestant church in America
to attempt the recruiting and uniform
ing of religious sisters. DIR. Thoburn
says the first OF these deaconesses will
be very likely to be seen in Chicago
whore there is already an informal Or
ganization OF somewhat similar char
acter; but he believes that in all the largo
cities, within II year, there will be es-
tablished probationary classes. As two
years service will be required before
| any woman may become ueaconeSs,
there must ensue that amount OF delay,
but the work and costuming OF the de-
voices may begin at once.
"And what costumes will the deacon
csses wcarP" was asked OF nearly every
member OF the committee responsible
for their creation.
No definite answer could be obtained.
Indeed, the reverend gentlemen did not
seem TO have considered that question
particularly, although it will be quick
TO come TO the front when the order be-
comes really existent, Naturally, a
sober garb will be chosen, but how
nearly II will approach the Disagreement
deemed essential in tho Catholic church,
as II destructive agency OF feminine
pride, remains 10 bo eeNn.-M Y Cor.

the old settler.

Wanderlngs on the Sea.
A man attired in the picturesque cap
of the sailors OF the United States navy
was among the passengers who strolled
along the platform at the Union station.
There was an uneasiness in his man
ner as he inquired particularly about
the train for Washington that caused
him to attract especial attention. He
was so particular about not missing the
train that it was at first supposed that
he was on some secret mission to the
capital.
His anxiety, however, was soon ex-
planned. He was to meet his mother in
Washington. Each had thought that
the other had been dead for over
quarter of century.
When he was drawn into conversa-
ton. he spoke freely about life of ad-
venture. He was fine-looking man,
apparently not over forty-fve years of
age. and spoke with an intelligence
showing that he had been observant OF
all that he had seen in wears of travel
to almost every navigable portion of
the world

front piazza of Crestdale-the beauti-

fresh young voice, as the speaker hur-
ried close to the generous heater.
''Be careful, dear, you may burn your
coat" warned an older lady, while a
salwart young fellow, the picture OF
ruddy health, tenderly loosened the seal
wrap in question.
Placing the fair wearer in great
armchair he said:
There, Mademoiselle Jessie, be a
good girl-if you can. Now, sister
ours, what can l do for youP" turning
gallantly to the other lady.

pleasant rejoinder, 'look after those

Properly installing them in their do
main, the young gentleman made his
way back through the wide, chilly
rooms that interviewed, and joined the
ladies, who were fast making themselves

strated the elderly lady. "Here is a
