Water Changed To Rlnod.

There is an animalcule, sometimes
called the englena sanguinea. or the
blood red englena. which multiplips g.
rapidly in some places that the surface
of the pool soo resembles a great clot Of
blood, TO the wonder Of those who see it
for the first time, and DO not suspect the
cause. The little creature seems to be
abundant all over the known world, and
Ehrenberg, a German naturalist. who
discovered and named it. suggested that
the first plague of Egypt, when the water
was apparently changed into blood, as
Narrated in the Bible, may have been
caused by a prodigious and miraculous
increase Of this little blood red infuso-
rian.
Within very recent times an apparent
change of water into blood has come to
the writer's notice in the White mount
aims, in northern New York, and in sew.
eral places in New Jersey. The phe-
nonenon Is not very rare. The creature
that causes this change has itself a pecu-
liar color habit according to its age. In
early youth and middle life its color Is a
vivid green; in maturity and old age it
assumes the crimson hue referred TO, and
often the same individual may be both
green and red as either color reaches the
surface during the body's movement,
each coming and going in a wave that
flows across the little creature, or a
minute spot may he rosy red in the gen.
eral green. or an emeral island may APP

The Study of Shorthand.

Nothing, in my judgment, surpasses
The study Of shorthand for mental train
ing. IL is, in its very essence, an &C,
auirement that lies far outside Of the
mental limits attainable by idiocy, and
the application Of its principles calls for
the constant exercise Of a greater and
steadier power of concentration than the
technicalities Of any other known accom-.
plishment. The fastest writer is habitu-
ally, on the average. rom six TO a dozen
words behind the speaker, and to carry
these in the mind. while at the same time
executing multifari0us stenographic in
tricacies upon the paper, is a feat which
can hardly be said, with truth, to lessen

A RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.
Curious Custom In the Tuscan Highlands
Saints Bones-viilage Lottery.

Saints Bones-yiilage Lottery.
In the Tuscan Highlands at the village
OF Cutipliano they keep high feast on the
Sth of August in memory of Saint Azure
iius and Saint Ireneus, whose bones lie
in state in the town church. The sacred
remains exhibited on the holiday are pre-
served in richly gilt shrines, with glass
front and sides. The skulls are bare / n
all their grinning hideousness; the rest
of the skeletons are happily hid in rich
costumes, the hands covered with silk
gloves and the feet with elegant stock.
ines.
After mass is over in the church and
the people have been blessed, a priest
standing at the altar holds up a reliquary
containing the bone Of a saint for the
alteration of the crowd. One by one the
men come up to the altar steps, devoutly
kiss the glass that cover the precious
bone, and drop a copper or two into the
brass tray which is carried by an attend
ant. After each oscillation the glass is
carefully wiped with a napkin and then
presented to the next in order.
The women come after the men. The
faith of these is apparently more lively.
They seem fully satisfied that by the act
of alteration they have committed them
selves to she effectual safeguard Of the
saint, and they turn away their faces
radiant with peace and contentment.
Here m a family group, a mother
leading a little girl by the hand with a
baby on her arm. II is touching to see the
earnestness with which the mother presses
the pouting lips of her infant against
the sacred charm and the joy with which
she broods over him when she has thus
secured his salvation; behind comes an
old woman, wrinkled, infirm, alore in
the world, but the weight Of her years
and trouble gems TO grow light when
she has secured the good will and inter-
cession of the saint.
So they come in q long succession OF
every age and condition, but all believ-
Ing and devout. Long after the service
v over the worshippers remain absorbed
u prayer. kneeling in different parts Of
the church, utterly lost to all that passes
around.
After leaving the church the Tuscans
repair to the village green, where o lot
terry is in progress, and every one, from
the gray head to the toddlng infant in
vests in a ticket. They are very super.
stitious about significant numbers. One
man chooses eight because his cat at
homo has that number of kittens, an
other t~wenty-nine because his son fell
and broke his leg on tina: day of the
month: still another fifteen because there
are that number of letters in the saints
name whom they celebrate.
Every one is in good humor while the
drawing takes place, and even if then
numbers are unsuccessful they leave with
the conviction hat it will surely CONS
up on the next feast day Foreign Letter.

when Buying Wearing Apparel.

II is astonishing to observe how few
people understand the common rules Of
measurement in purchasing wearing APP
parel. For instance, a man will buy q
coat that is a size too small or too
large. A ''size' smaller or a size
larger is what he probably needs, but he
does not know what a ''size" is. Well,
a .'size" in a coat is an inch, a size in
underwear is 2 inches, a size in a sock is
1 inch. in a collar 1-2 an inch, in a shirt
1-2 an inch, in shoes 10th an inch, pents

Owing to the increasing interest

and as readily understood as any
branch of mathematics. Many of
my former classes are now treating
from 20 to 80 patients daily, and won
derful results are following their
labors.
1t is profound science, and yet so
simpli6ed as to be compromised by
any person of ordinary intelligence.
The class are always prepared to be

The Washington critic., 1888-02-04
The Views of a Newspaper Man on
the Station Question.

rs. NJ" the very alert and entertaining
Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Star, speaks his mind about the
station question in some very sensible
words: An effort is being made in Con-
gress to compel the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company to remove their present
station in Washington, which is right in
the heart of the city and within q stones
throw Of the two principal thoroughfares,
to more remote location. 1t strikes me
that this is very foolish movement. The
custom now in all large cities is to have
the railroads entering their limits locate
their stations as near as possible to that
part Of the city where they will be most
convenient to the public.
This has ever been the policy of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in late
years; They spent millions to. get the
Broad and Market street location in Phila-
delphia, and what citizen of that place
would like to have it sent back to West
Philadelphia or put down at Broad and
Washington avenue or in Kensington?
The fight against the Pennsylvania Road
here is really made by the Baltimore and
Ohio Company, who have an old and
dilapidated depot which blocks up one of
the streets leading from the Capitol build
ing, and for that reason has to be removed.
They want Congress to place them in a
Union depot with the Pennsylvania COM
pany. To this the latter company object,
for the principal reason that their way of
running their business is so different from
that of the Baltimore and Ohio that to put
them in joint partnership in the matter of
depot accommodations would be handi-
cap on the Pennsylvania Road that would
tend to paralyze their business. The ten
dency now in cities having Union depots
is to do away with the system because of
the confusion and the increased liability
to have accidents.
The Pennsylvania Company's depot
here is very handsome structure, with
all the latest conveniences attached. Out
side of the Baltimore and Ohio people i
do not imagine that more than mere
fraction of the citizens here want it re-
moved. Before the Pennsylvania Com
pany got an entrance into the city the
Baltimore and Ohio had monopoly of
the railroad business, and the miserable
way in which they treated the travelling
public made the citizens of Washington
hail with joy the advent Of the Pennsyl-
vania Company.
1t was not long before the liberal and
progressive policy of the Pennsylvania
Company secured for them the great bulk
of the railroad business of the city, and
that position the company continues to
hold to the present time. am always
proud when ] hear praises for the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, because of
the fact that it is Philadelphia enter
prise.
