Dust Particles In the Air.

Mr John Aiken, q well known investi-
gator of the atmosphere, has recently
made series of experiments on the num-
Der of dust particles in ordinary air. So
far his results show that outside air, after
a wet night, contained 521 600 dust par
ticles 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 The air of
aroom was found to contain 80,31S, 600
particles in the same space; that near the
ceiling containing IS. 346. 600 particles per
cubic inch The air collected over
Bunsen flame contained no less than 1885,
100000 particles per cubic inch. The
numbers for room were got with gas
burning in the room, and at height of
four feet from the floor, These figures,
thought not absolute, show how important
is the influence of gas jet on the air we
breathe. and the necessity for good venti-
lation in apartments. Mr.. Aitken remarks
that there seem to be as many dust par
ticles in a cubic inch of air in a room at
night when gas is burning as there are
inhabitants in Great Britain, and that in
three cubic inches of the gases from a
Bunsen flame there are as many particles
as there are people in the world.-Cassell's

Warning to tho Fair Sex.

The ladies of the stage. perhaps even

known as 1.-The sex, they make corporal

powders and cosmetics ON other occasions.
Probably many of them go in for less in

let them beware, for they may suddenly
have to sacrifice to Venus on the other
side of the Styx.
Here Is tale for their ears. Frau
FROM, a German actress of excellent
reputation, died few days ago in Berlin
in a somewhat extraordinary manner. On
leaving her bath shs powdered herself
with some sort of veloutine Then she
cleaned her nails with the point of pair
of scissors. She stuck herself on finger,
and the perfumed powder got into the
slight wound Instantly the finger be-
gan 20 swell, and the doctors who were
called in were unable to stop the poison
Gus progress of the veloutine. The
finger was amputated. and then the hand
but nothing was Of any use, and the IN
fortunate woman died IN the most hor.

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his nusfset mods IN his hands
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier wcs passing fair,
And there was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
NNow, don't you go TIL oorne,'' he said,
land don't you make any notser'
So todding off to bis trundle bed
he dreamed Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
oh, the years ere many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch Of q little hand,
The slnie of q little face;
And they wonder, as waiting these long yeers
through,
In the dust Of that little chair
What has become Of our Little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there.
