sion. In Ceylon, 1900 miles away
a sound as of heavy guns was
heard. At Rodriguez, nearly 5000
miles away, it was distinctly heard
like the roar of disant artillery.
The sea wave caused by the up
heaval was perceived as far away
as the English Channel, while the
great atmospheric wave swept three
times from Krakatoa to the anti
podes and back again. Fully one
and one-eighth cubic miles of rock
were hurled into the air, some
fragments reaching height of
thirty-one miles, while an meal
culable vast cloud Of dust and
vapor filled the air at height of
from seventeen to twenty-three
miles. It is not difficult to believe
that enough of this dust and vapor
was waited to this side of the world
to produce the beautiful phenom-
ena that were the wonder and de-
light of every observer of the sun
sets.-N, Y, Tribune.

WOULD NOT KOW-TOW.

In the November American Mag.
azine Mr.. L. Mcintosh Ward, in his
article on the first American EN-
bassy to Peking, thus describes the
negotiations about an interview be-
tween the American Minister and
the Emperor. The Commissioners,
however, would discuss nothing but
the proposed audience with the EN-
peror. One of the Commissioners
stated that the Emperor himself
was desirous of comforting with Mr..
Ward, having been favorably i'm
pressed with what he had heard of
America and Americans, and wish
ing to see the first representative
of that nation who had visited his
Capital. The stumbling block in
the way of the audience was the
rite called the Kow-tow, which Mr..
Ward refused to perform. The Com
missioners requested Mr.. Ward to
kneel to the Emperor, and agreed
that the knocking of the head On
the ground would be dispensed with.
To this Mr.. Ward replied that while
he entertained the greatest respect
for the Emperor, and in that only
felt what the President himself had
expressed in the letter of which he
was the bearer, yet he wished to de-
clare that highly as he would regard
an audience and important as he
deemed it under the circumstances,
still he had never asked for an audi
ence, and the treaty said nothing
about it, and he could not kneel
when he came before the throne
he could only salute the Emperor
as he did his own ruler; that he
knelt only as an act of worship be-
fore God, and would do SO to no
man

An Ancient Turtle.

The Middletown Argus says that
many decades ago an eccentric in
dividual named w. D. Whitaker
owned and occupied an extensive
farm near Saugerties. Whittaker's s
old ways and peculiar habits were
the talk of the country side, and
they are still dilated upon by his
descendants. Michael Jerson now
resides in the old homestead. One
of the old gentleman's peculiarities
was to catch turtles and carve his
name and the date of their capture
on their shell. A day or two ago
Jerson saw turtle crawling feebly
across one of his lots. He picked
it up and discovered the following
inscription on it's back: "W. D.
Whitaker, Aug. 10, It'll"
Judging by the date the turtle is
over 1T years of age, and its ap-
pearance indicates that it has lived
long in the land. Its head and
neck are gray and wrinkled, and its
legs are covered with thick scales.
It's caudal appendage is entirely
worn away, and portions of its shell
are crumbling as though from age.
Mr.. Jerson's ancient find" has at
tracted q great deal of attention.

The Krakatoa Eruption.

The long-looked- d-for-report of the
scientific commission which inves-
tigated the great volcanic eruption
Of Krakatoa in 1883 has at last
made it's appearance, and it seems
strongly to confirm the theory that
the famous "red sunsets" of that
time were caused by the canopy OF
dust and steam thrown up by that
tremendous convulsion of Nature.
So great was the explosion Of the
burning mountain that the noise
was heard over one-thirteenth OF
the total surface of the earth. AT
Batavia, thirty miles away, build

CLEAN HANDS.

According to the fearful expert
ments of DR.. Foster of the Italian
Medical Gazette, there is no such
thing as the possibility of clean
hands on anybody. Washed with
soap and with carbolic acid, with
any and all the disinfectants in
common use, our hands still remain
scientifically unclean; that is to say
that preparation called sterilized
gelatine, destitute of living organ
isms, on being touched by the fin
gers thus washed and supposed to
be clean, Immediately develops liv-
ing organisms acquired from the
fingers. Butt the hands are washed
in dilute solution of bichloride of
mercury or corrosive sublimate, one
part to one thousand parts of water,
perfect cleanliness is attained, and
no living organisms will be devel-
oped by the touch of the fingers. 1t
is pitiful to think that we are really
SO palpably made Of the dust of the
earth; but it seems that we must
endure it, since corrosive sublimate
can hardly be made the adjunct of
our daily toilets, and if it were,
then the next time we shook hands,
or took up book, or went into the
street, we should but develop a
fresh crop of micro-organisms. The
fact is that these discoveries of
science show us, if they do nothing
else, how fearfully and wonderfully
we are made, and if we regarded
them seriously there is nothing we
could eat and nothing we could do
which would not make death seem
to hang imminent in the air. There
is one refuge for the unscientifc,
and that is in whistling the whole
matter down the wind, keeping
clean to the best of belief, and thus
taking care of ones's self, letting
the micro-organisms take care of
themselves.

THE COLORADO UTEs.

The negotiations of the Commits
sioners appointed for the purpose
of making treaty with the South
ern Utes, and in which they have
been successful, according to the
telegraph dispatches, removes from
Colorado its last tribe of Indians.
The new reservation is but a short
distance off and in country over
which this band has been accus-
toned to roam. 1t is not to them
a new home, and therefore does not
break up the attachments which the
Indians, more than any other peo-
pie, have so strongly to the places
of their childhood. The new res
ervation assigned them is just
across the Colorado line and in

VALUE OF A NOSE.
New York Noses Worth $4,000 q Year
Each.--$1O,OOO London Noses.

/ A New York gossip who smells
out the good things of Gotham for
the Albany Journal writes to that
paper:
A good nose is worth about SIS, 900
a year in New York, sometimes
more. Exterior style has nothing
to do with its value. 1t may be
semitic, pug, bottle or any other
shape, so long as its exterior works
are all right and have had good
educational training on tea, wines
and liquors, coffee or sugar. No
nose is so versatile that it knows all
these things, or even two or three
of them, nor does it need to.
The most valuable nose is the tea
nose. All the tea that comes here
from China, Japan and India has
to be sampled, tested, graded in
value down to a fraction of a cent,
and the expert who does this main
ly relies on his nose. Sometimes,
when he is a little in doubt, he
takes a sip of the infusion of tea
that he is sampling, holds it in his
mouth for moment, and then
elects it, but as rule he forms his
judgment entirely from the aroma
arising from the hot steaming leaves
lifted in spoon from the cup to
his nose. He never drinks the tea.
If he swallowed even small sips
from the many scores or even hun
dreds that are submitted to him
daily he would "break all up" in
three or four years, and have to go
off for long rest and recuperation
Of a disordered stomach and shat
tered nerves. This is known to be
fact, for a few years ago slipping
was practiced by the tasters, and
that demonstration ensued.
Another way of testing teas, still
resorted to by some of the oldest
and finest noses, was by crushing
the dry leaves in the hollow of the
hand, breathing into them until
they are heated and then shifting
the aroma they gave off. The old
timers who used to chew the leaves
and judge them in that way have
all passed out long ago, for that
was more injurious habit than
drinking the tea.
1t is by no means an uncommon
thing for the big importers to pay
as much as 800 to a high-class ex-
pert for grading the qualities of a
cargo of new-crop teas, work that
will be performed in two or three
hours. Few, if any, of these excep-
tional experts are salaried men.
When their talents are recognized
they are given partnerships, some
times sent out to China as resident
buyers, and wealth is practically
assured them. In London, it is
said, there are more Of them on
salary, but there they command as
high as $4,000 a year.

THE merry chimes of the Christ
mas bells, pealing high above the
grey wintry sky, sound like echoes
from an angels song-Glory to God
in the highest, peace on earth, good
will to men. Again the glad tidings
is shouted-Christ the child, is born
to-day. In humble homes, and
palatial halls alike, the time-hon-
ored festival Of the birthday of our
savior is celebrated. 1t is the sea-
son throughout the world for gift
giving and merry-making, and SO
often for the reunion Of the loved
members Of the old family circle,
who have drifted far from the home
of their childhood. All, but it
brings back to some only the sad
memories of those happy Christmas
days Of the long-ago, before their
lives were touched with care and
sorrow. Thoughts too deep for
tears come to US of the loved faces
laid to rest. In fancy we see the
little stockings as they used to hang
in the chimney corner on Christmas
eve fol- Santa Claus to fill. They
are gone-we are left-but the
world moves on. the same as in
those beautiful days. Christmas
comes again.
Young man, you who are far
from the old home door, and vet
blessed with a good mother, she
will think Of you on this Christmas
eve, and though far away from her
sheltering love and the counsel of
her voice, she will not forget you
nor cease to open up a prayer to
your Heavenly Father to guide you
and shield you from sin and temp
tation. AS she rocks to and fro in
the old arm chair the thought will
come to her, Oh, where is my boy
tonight. For the sake of that dear
mother-and your own-dash for
ever from your hand the intoxicat-
ing cup. You say, "Wine maketh
the heart glad" All, yes, it may
for awhile, but remember when you
drink it you peril your soul and
drift into a drunkard's grave.
Then the mothers heart is broken
the sweet songs she sang to you in
happy, innocent childhood will pass
into dirge.

VIRTUES OF HOT WATER,

The virtues Of hot water have
had a great development of late
years. People of fashion, whose
digestions have been impaired,
fancy that they still can eat half a
dozen courses at dinner if the water
they drink with them is only hot
enough. II must trouble you,"
they whisper to their hostess, ito
let it be very hot; merely warm
water, you know, has-ahem Ian
unpleasant effect" The water is,
therefore, brought as if for shaving
purpose, and generally cracks the
tumbler. The broken glass in ones
pantry which the butler used to at
tribute to "the cal" is now set down
to the guests who adopt this new
regime. Another purpose for which
it is used is to send people to sleep
at night. 1t is little inconvenient
to have to supply boiling water in
the small hours of the morning to
ones wakeful visitors, but to do
them justice, most of them bring
spirit lamps and kettles Of their
own. I have a private suspicion
(says James Payn, in the illustrated
London News) that they put some
thing in the water to induce SOM
nolency; but, as they bring this
with them also, that is not my bus
mess. The Russians have now dis
covered that hot water has a quiet.
ing effect upon prisoners who are
insubordinate-by means of short
hose specially made to resist the
heat, and attached to steam-pipe
nozzle, they squirt boiling water
upon the offenders, and at once
produce peace and quietness-by
parboiling. The proverbial phrase
of being ''in hot water" has, there
fore, not so much lost it's meaning
in Russia as obtained a precisely
contrary Specification. This will,
probably, form supplementary
chapter in the next edition of "The
Language Of Thought, and need
not, therefore, be enlarged upon

CHRISTMAS.

Breaking on the Twilight stiffness,
Listen to the Christmas chimes:
They have brought the same glad udings
More than eighteen hundred times
Peace on earth
Let the bells ring out the JOY OF the nations,
Jesus, the babe of the manger, is King:
He is the highest who once was the lowest,
Let all the children be joyful and sing,
"Peace and goodwill strife shall be stu,
The babe Of the manger is King.
Ring, ye bells! tits sweet to listen;
Sing, We friends, outside the door,
Echoes of the wondrous music
That was heard in days OF yore
Dress the house with holly,
Let the bright red berries shine.
While we celebrate the birth-night
OF our gracious Lord divine
Then pealed the bells more ! loud n7aan ana oeep'
The Wrong shall fall, the Right prevail;
With peace on earth, goodwill to men!
