New YoRk, March 15.-The weather
this morning is again warm and bright.
The prospect is that there will be much
thawing. Great banks Of dirty snow arc
piled ON each side OF Broadway, and all
other avanues and streets. Gangs OF men
are still hard at work shoveling and cart
ing, but their task is stupendous one.
Railroads leading into the city arc all
moving and the business men from New
Jersey and Long Island and the upper
part Of the State reached New York this
morning for the first time since Saturday
Some of the surface cars are running.
Almost all the New Jersey towns within
fifteen miles OF New York now have some
sort Of railroad communication with this
city. This morning thousands OF business
men made their first appearance since Sat
urday. Over l,l00 were showed in at
Roseville, on the Delaware & Lackawanna
road, and hundreds were compelled 10
stay in the cars over twenty-four hours,
although their homes were within four
miles. The cold was intense and food
scanty, but no lives were lost at that point
The food supply is running very short in
these Jersey towns, and but little fresh
meat and no milk, eggs or vegetables can
be obtained at any price. The chances OF
getting relief from New York are small,
as the supply here Is decidedly short. The
iirst mail from Philadelphia and Baltimore
since Monday morning came in this after
noon.
The Erie road was the first 10 geta train in.
At q o'clock this morning the Chicago ex'
press, which has been showed in since
Monday at Monroe, came in, passengers
all we'll. The Pennsylvania hopes 10 get
a train through to Philadelphia today.
Business has once more been seriously
attempted, but the diiiiuties are still great.
The cross streets are still blocked with
huge drifts OF snow, and the street clean.
ing department has not yet turned lis at
tention TO them. An attempt rs beinG
made TO melt the snow by lighting great
bonfircs, but the effect is not perceptible
The sun is shining brightly and the siusl
is deep in many places.

about three miles south of this village,
were burned Wednesday night. The
buildings were each about 30 by 60 feet
in size and both were full of hay, the
amount being somewhere between 60 and
10 tons. The buildings and contents
were insured for $500 in the Vermont
Mutual through the agency of Mr.. FL
dredge. Mr.. Fisher was at Rutland atten-
ding the Breeders meeting. The neigh
bors could do nothing to stop the fire and
the buildings burned to the ground. As
to the origin of the fire nothing definite
can be said. 1t will be remembered that
another barn which stood near these
was destroyed by fire less than a year
ago.

The Babies of Japan.

The little baby is not offered its nat
ural nourishment for three days. Dur
ing this time the liquor of boiled rice
Is fed to it'll And it Is not tucked dain-
tily up in soft white blankets in it's
clean little bed, but set up in a small
tub and covered with coarse, dark COM
forts, The only relief it has during it's
infancy from this uncomfortable posi-
tion is when 1T is put on it's mothers
or some one else's back, inside their
clothes, and taken out for an airing. 1t
is claimed by the more enlightened now
that this constant sitting position, or
being crowded against some one, with
shoulders thrown forward and chest
pressed in, is one reason why almost all
Japanese are SO extremely narrow
chested. 1t is anything but pleasant to
see 2-year.old strapped on the back Of
a 4-year-old, with head (shaven, Of
course,) thrown way over to one side,
tho unhappy little victim fast asleep
with the hot sun streaming on it, end
flies feasting on the dirt which is al
most Invariably part Of a Japanese
baby'S face.

HIS Love anh Hers.

Together they sat on q woodland rock,
When the sun tipped the Western hills;
And q Iing-dove cooed for his absent mate,
AS he slipped from the ripping rills,
The youth with bold, determined look.
The girl 10 still by his side;
AS le told Of the fame he meant to achieve,
Before abe could be his bride.
He snid he would delve In the mines Of
famo,
He would strive on tho plains of life;
At last he would come with honor and
wealth,
And claim her then az his wife;
Tie sun fell asleep behind tho hills,
The night forgot the day;
An. the new moon looked like half
buried hope
AS she silently followed her way.
The youth arose as tho shadow foil,
But the girl still sat on the stone;
And oft the shadows will round her fall,
And mark her sitting alone;
For the youth will forget those words of
love,
Another will sit by his side;
But the maiden will wait as maiiens do,
For the man to claim his bride.

Germany's sepulchral Stoves.

The German houses are entirely
wanting in the comfortable warmth we
are accustomed to in America. Their
sepulchral, white procelain stoves,
twelve feet OF SO high, dispense almost
as little heat as cheer. Solemnly erect
ed in the corners Of the rooms they pre-
sent an aspect that (when one is ina
homesick mood) is remarkably dispirit-
ing, and often they produce the same
effect on on's spirits as would the near
neighborhood Of the monuments and
gravestones they so strongly resemble.
But the bed furnishing is as oppressive
ly warm as the heat Of the white, GHOST
ly stoves is insufficient. The great
elder down quilts that always form the
outside coverings, are as thick and
heavy as feather beds. Beside the
sWelterlng heat that these produce.
there cannot but be the suggestion that
very likely they may already have done
duty for several generations. But those
who have always lived in country Of
vulgar progress probably do not appreci-
ate the conditions Of living in q land
where .aristocratic conservatism pre-
walls Iti not at all likely that houses
in Germany will be warmed by steam
pipes or furnaces, or anything but their
colossal white stoves, for several hun
dred years yet.

SENSES or ANIMALS.
Interesting Experiments Made by Sir
John Lubbock.

at the Philosophical Institute. Edin-
burgh, Sir John Lubbock delivered a
lecture on ''Tlle Sense and Senses Of
Animals" In the course Of his re-
marks the lecturer said that every one
Would gratefully admit that the dog
was loyal and true and affectionate
friend. But, when they came to con-
sidcr the nature Of the animal, their
knowledge was, he said, very limited.
That arose from the fact that people
had tried rather to teach animals than
to learn from them. 1t had occurred
to him that some such method as that
which was followed in the case Of deaf
mutes might prove instructive il adapt
cd to the case Of dogs. lie had tried it
with black poodle belonging to him
self. He then went on to rotate several
experiments he had made with pieces
of cardboard with different words
marked on them. He had taken two
pieces of card, one black and the other
with the word "food' marked upon it.
! lie had put the latter on u saucer con-
! tanning some bread and milk, and the
black card OH an empty saucer The
dog was not allowed to eat imtil'he had
| brought the proper card to him. The
, experiment was repeated over again,
! and In about ten days the dog began to
| distinguish the card with the letters on
1t from the plain card. It took long
er time to make the dog realize the diff
ference between the different words.
In order to try and discover whether
the dog could distinguish colors, he pre-
pared six cards, making two of them
blue, two yellow and two orange. He
put ono Of each on the floor and tried to
get the dog to bring him card with
the same color rs the one which he
showed the dog in his hand. After try
ing this for three months he found that
his experiment in this direction was q
failure. From experiments which he
had made he had come to the conclu-
sion that aunts hand not the power Of
addressing each other. Ills impression
on the whole was that bees and ants
were not deaf, but they heard sounds
so shrill that they were beyond our
hearing. There was 10 doubt about
insects seeing. He then went on to re-
late several experiments he had made
with the view Of discovering whether
different insects could distinguish diff
ferent colors, and had any preference
for particular colors. The colors or OBJ
jects must, he said, present very diff
terent impression upon insects than OH
human beings.

A PECUbdIAR PEOPLE.
The Inhabitants Of fsalonil<a---Jews at
Heart, but Turks TO tho World.

Emthese days 1t is somewhat difficult
to find anywhere peculiar people who
are not public. property; about the Nor
mons Of America and the sayages Of
Central Africa we know as much, if
not more, than we know about our
selves; so thatit was with considerable
satisfaction thatI came across n pecu-
liar people who in many respects out

rs quaint as any to he found in Cen
tral Africa. Moreover, they live in
Europe, in the ancient city OF Salonika
and come Of the most ancient stock in
tho world namely, the Hebrew; they
Fare bound together by ties that none
dare break, they arc double faced
race, a race with two distinct religions,
u race which leads two distinct lives,
protesting openly to be followers Of
Mohammed, while in private they pro-
fess areligion Of their own, accepting
the old Hebrew traditions, yet boliev-
ing, in the first advent of their own
Messiah and living in daily expectation
Of his second coming.
The Turks call them '.Dunmehs,"
or "renegades," their jewish brethren
call them ''hypocrites, Willie they call
themselves Maimeenim, or ''true be-
lievers." For the sake Of simplicity
we Will call them Dunmehs, and wo

ligionists, ana in consequence they
have been compelled to exercise secrecy
in their acts and deeds, fact which
has rendered them a mysterious people
in the midst Of u busy mercantile
world. During recent stay at Salon
ika 1 set myself the task oi investigat-
ing this people.
Salonika may be termed New Jeru-
salem, as there are no less than 10000
of the seed Of Abraham within its
walls; almost all the business Of the
place is carried ON, by them; the quays
are gay with them in their Quaint cos
tunes, the men with their long robes
lined with fur over a tunic of stripped
cotton Sor silk. while the women arc
decked In the gayest color possible, and
adorn their heads with caps of green OF
red, closely bound over their foreheads.
and hanging down behind in a thick
trail embroidered with gold thread and
terminating in a fringe Of gold, while
around their necks hang strings of
pearls and other jewels. These Jews
of Salonlka are perhaps the most fervid
adherents of the quaint rabbinical doc
trines to be found anywhere nowadays.
During the days before the Passover
you may see jewish women at the
tombs outside the walls, in their long
red cloaks and white mantles round
their shoulders, wailing over their dead;
turbaned rabbls stand at the gate Of
Karamilla to conduct families, for a
consideration, to- the graves or their
relatives, there to. excite them to frency
by reading portions of Scripture, and
finally to drive them homo again like
sheep when the ceremony is over, with
lacerated arms and faces, uttering bit
ter walls.

Patron OF the Cosmeticians.

Never dio cosmeticlans flourish in
N. Y. as now. Alleged beautifying
establishments are more numerous than
the ills Of life. Circulars which allur-
ingly set forth the skill Of professional
beautiflers are blown q every breeze.
Their patrons are legion, as the white-
washed and frescoed faces Of many wo-
Imen prove. The natural flesh has been
covered as with layer of plaster, over
