June has passed, and if the latter portion
Of it is TO be considered prognostication Of
what the summer win be, God save the poor
who cannot get away, and must needs suffer
in the crowded tenement houses which 20 to
swell the death rate in extremes Of weather.
For several days during the heated term the
signal man on top Of the Equitable building
prodiefed q cold wave from the west Every
day it grew hotter. There is something irri-
tating in passing a thermometer marking 101
degs in the shade, and having some govern
ment official a hundred and fifty feet in the
air, with delightful breezes floating past him,
insisting that the highest record for the day
was only IS degs.
The death rate increased seriously dur
ing tine hot week, and when We consider that
those who inLabit the better class OF dwell
iugs were out Of town, and tho figures are
made largely from the poorer classes, we
may imagine possibly the sufferings Of those
who live in the tenemonts The unequal di-
vision Of wealth and its consequent, at least
apparent, injustice, is evident from tho fact
that during the hot week people were dying
in the overcrowded tenements. while hum

owners being in tho country.

Average of Chest Expansion.

The average of expansion for the 'nor-
NAL" man is three inches; that is, the
difference in chest circumference between
the completest expiration and the fullest
inspiration~S If it falls much below this
figure, life companies agree that the indi-
vidual is an unsafe risk for insurance, be-
cause he is not likely to live out his Eek
pectancy."
But systematic exercise will increase
the expansion considerably. have often
examined patients and applicants for in
surance whose expansion was over four
inches, and in few instances the expan-
sion has reached five inches. In most, If
not all cases of unusually large expansion
the individuals were either vocalists or
players on wind Instruments, or they had
taken special pains to develop their vital
capacity. Some years ago, when | first
made application for life insurance, my
chest expansion was four inches; and
this amount was lin few weeks) in

Some Allows of Gold.

A new alloy of gold and platinum, upon
which Mr. w c. Roberts Austen has
been engaged for some time, takes fire on
being thrown into water, and the gold is
released as black powder, differing from
ordinary gold in its property of readily
forming aurc hydride This abnormal
form of gold. which becomes normal me-
tallic gold on heating, is said to have been
long utilized by the Japanese. They OBJ
tain it from its alloy with copper, with
which they form ornamental metallic de-
signs upon knife handles, etc, and then
release the dark colored gold by pick
ling process. In this way, they have pro-
duced an appearance Of transparency in a
metallic representation of water, at o
place where in the design duck was re-
presented plunging half its body below
the surface of stream. -.Arkansaw Trav-

The Use of Henna.

The henna is an important article of an
eastern lady's toilet, particularly on fest
i've occasions; it is prepared from the
leaves of a medium sized tree and serves
to dye the feet of the women and children
red This henna, so indispensable to
eastern ladies, is used for two purposes
as remedy for boils, prickly heat, itching
and the like, and as an ointment for the
hands and feet. The leaves, resembling
those of the myrtle, are not efficacious i'll
used alone; they are dried, pulverized and
mixed with some lemon Juice and water.
stiff paste is made of this, which must
be exposed to the sun for several hours;
when used it is again softened with lemon
juice.
The lady who is about to undergo the
dyeing process is stretched out full length
on. her back and is not allowed to stir.
Inc paste is put on the sole Of TIE feet,
the toes included, about an inch thick
the upper part of Che feet is never dyed;
soft leaves are then applied as a covering
and the whole is tightly wrapped in linen.
The same process is gone through with
the palm of the hand and the fingers. To
keep the application in it's place she must
remain all night perfectly still without
moving; for no other parts but those
named must have the dye, and a smudge
on the back of the hand or on the finger
Joints is considered great Disagreement.
AL this time she is dreadfully leased
by the swarms of mosquitoes and flies,
but she dare not move to drive them
away. In the upper classes women slaves
have to watch all night by their mistress,
to keep these plaques off with fans until
the paste can be removed in the morning.
The same process must be gone through
three nights running, to obtain the de-
sired dark red tint; then it sticks for
about four weeks and resists all washing,

Betrothals in Bulgaria.

Often the Bulgarian peasant maiden
undergoes heightened tribulations, of
hope deferred and unkind dsappoint-
ments, between her betrothal and mar
riage. If her lover is poor and unable to
accumulate the stipulated price set upon
her head, and which must be paid before
she can become a bride, the wedding is
sometimes postponed for years. Some
times the parent of the prospective bride
is considerate father, and in case the
whole amount cannot be raised, accepts a
portion, and gives tine young couple time
to pay the balance by their united exer-
tions.
But quite as often the cruel parent"
will harken to no such compromise, and
no such loose, unbusinesslike settlement,

ter has to hoe and reap in her fathers

summer vacations last in some cases three
solid months and the migration includes
not merely the occupants of the brown
stone fronts, but vast multitudes of hard
working families, who dwell all summer
in a tent on the beach, or in those hives
of summer population by inland lakes or
beneath mountains. If this tendency
goes on developing for the next fifty years
as for the last fifty, it may not solve the
problem of scientific agriculture, but it
will certainly furnish some antidote to the
alleged evils of cities.-T w. Higginson
