Among tEe Pennsylvania Dutch.

It is not generally known, even by people who have visited America, that there is in Pennsylvania, very near the cities of Phila- delphia and New York, 0 population of more than two million inhabitants which is ill many respects strangely like what its rural ancestors were in Germany more than two centuries ago. Some years since there were to be seen in Q shop in Philadelphia several large books Of Lutheran devotion ill the type and spelling of 1540, bound in deeply stamped white vellum, with heavy brass clasps. They did not look like limitations of old books they seemed to be the thing itself-but the date was recent. ''They arc for the Penn sylvania Dutch," said the bookseller. They would not believe that the Lord would hear them if they prayed to him out of Q modern looking book. And those books, as you see them, have been printed and bound in that style for nearly two hundred years for the Pennsylvania Dutch market just as they were printed for their ancestors during the reform atiOn.n
 There probably no more striking instance of conservatism to be found anywhere in Europe than this; but the spirit manifested by the worthy "Dutchmen" IS carried out by them consistently in everything else. Fol low thy father, good son, and live as thy father before thee has done,' is their golden rule of life. Firstly, they always speak among themselves q singular patois called Pennsylvania Dutch, from the word Deutsch. ''It belongs" says Dr. Bausman, minis edition of the poems of Dr. H. Harbaagh, Ito the south German dialects" and, while partaking of all, 'it is most closely allied to the Pfalzischn-that is, to the Rhine German of the Palatinate. In the valley of the Susque hanna, and beyond the Alleghany, it is much mingled with English. Farther in the west we find in it traces of Scottish, Irish, Swedish and French. It is specially remarkable in its having retained great numbers of old and curious German words, such as are now to be heard only in the remotest places of the ia therland.

Yarious Sorts of Ammunition.

There is some talk of the adoption of the quick firing guns, which are aimed from the shoulder, on board ship and in fortified pc sisions ashore where machine guns, properly so called, would not be available But it is not easy to guess where these positions are to be found, and must humbly presume again to call attention to the point which is to me moro obviously true than any other relating to arms that the danger in multiplying sorts of ammunition is one which ought never for a moment to be lost sight of either by the sol dier, the engineer, or the administrator.
 To put weapons carrying all sorts and sizes of ammunition into a given position Is to weaken, and not to strengthen it; and all peo- ple who have the welfare of their armies at heart should look, not only to the simpHfca- ton of arms, but as much as possible to the uniformity of ammunition, What is wanted is machine which will pump lead such as the soldiers carry, and rife which will throw lead such as the machine guns pump. Then you do something to ease your most troublesome and delicate organization in the Aeld-that of your transport-the danger of complicating and overlooking which it needs a soldier to comprehend--London Cor New York Times

Ventilation of Bedrooms.

DR.. Brown Sequard, who has been
preaching that bad ventilation of sleep
ing rooms and poor and monotonous
food are the great causes of phthisis,
treated of that disease at the last meet
ing of the Academy of Sciences in Paris,
taking many of his examples from Eng
land. Wherever population is dense,
and sleeping rooms ill-aired or over
crowded. consumption prevails. DR..
Bailey reported that in the Millbank
Prison there were, out Of one hundred
deaths, forty-fve from this disease.
According to the illustrious French
doctor room in which consumptive
person sleeps is reeking with contagious
germs, if the air he exhales is not
carried off
But how to get rid of it in ll-built
houses OF very cold weather, when it is
as dangerous to open windows as to
keep them shut? To meet this difficulty
DR.. Brown Sequard showed the Acad-
envy en- apparatus of his invention. A
reversed funnel, the shape of lamp
shade, is placed at the end of tube, so
arranged in its curves and angles that
when it is placed beside bed the re-
versed funnel will be above the sleeper
and draw up the air he breathes. The
other end runs into the chimney of the
room. If there is none it is TAX en-
through heating apparatus to an air
hole. The heat is great enough to burn
the disease germs.

Tea Drinking i'm Russia.

In Russia tea is drunk as beer is in
Germany or wine in France. 1t may be
called the national beverage, and there
are especial saloons or restaurants all
about, both here and in st. Petersburg,
for tea drinkers, both rich and poor.
The truly Russian restaurant is very diff
ferent from the European ones. The
walters are all attired in white from
head to foot, with large black purse
at the waist, and are always all men.
There is generally large barrel organ,
(which gives out the latest airs. 1t is
wonderful how much tea Russian will
drink. The writer entered one morn
ing one of these restaurants with a
young Russian. Tea was ordered, and
one glass followed another with the
Russian until he had drank seven. He
said he had often drank eleven, and
that fifteen were not too many for an old
hand. The tea is drunk alone or with
lemon, and the sugar eaten from the
hand. A peculiar kind of bread or roll
is eaten with it, Albany Journal.

harboring or aiding in any way the
fugitive under pain Of the vengeance OF
the society. The prescribed man can
not get any assistance in this country,

In conversation with Lee All Fook,
who is the head man of one of the
strongest of the highlander societies, he
smilingly admitted that murder was one
of the fine art in which his society ex
celled. He explained the method of
initiation and the penalties that followed
the breaking of any of the rules of the
order. The neophyte who is to be
initiated is taken before the great joss

members stated that it was his duty to
read great many American papers, and
he found greater prominence given in
them to historical and archaeological
