The Arabs play marbles differently
from the American boys. OF course the
arrangement of the marbles to be shot
at can he varied in many ways; but tho
young Arabs shoot the marble in Il way
of their own and much more accurately
than the American lads. The left hand
Is laid fiat IN the ground with the fingers
closed together, and the marble is placed
in the groove between the middle finger
and forefinger, The f~oreffnger of the
right hand is then pressed firmly on the
end joint of the middle finger, and when
the middle finger is suddenly pushed
aside the forefinger of the right hand
slips u with more or less force and pro-
jects the marble very accurately in the
direction of the groove ON the left hand.

As long as our statute books declare
that death by hanging is the punishment
for murder, it behooves us as n sober
minded, not to say a civilized com
munity, to sec to it that this, like all
things, be done decently and in order. a
trades a trade the world around, and as
with vessels, some go TO honor and some
to dishonor, so with men; all sorts and
conditions are needed to make a sym
metric whole. Inexplicable as it may be,
the fact remains that certain men in all
times have been found to whom it was a
pleasure TO WELD the headsman's AK, to
apply the torch to the martyrs faggots,
to draw the bow string, to turn the but
ton, to adjust the Moose, to cut the rope,
to draw the bolt; yet in this great
country, 60. 600, 600 of people, with three
score Of independent sovereignties, with
hundreds of cities where criminals
abound, where murders are of daily oc-
Currence and hangings are common, there
is absolutely no regulated custom, still
less any law, making it the duty of any
specified individual to personally conduct
the awful ceremonies of judicial killing.

SO scarce is timber that in most sections
it is scrupulously preserved. For this
reason there arc few fences in the Coun-
try. The fences are made, too, in n way
peculiar to the country. They are of
nine foot slabs, two or three inches thick,
six or eight inches wide, and arc driven
three feet into the ground, leaving the
fence six feet in height. The tops are
squared off with n saw and the fence is
not only durable but slightly Moscow

PAX Chung Yang, the Corean minister
to the United States, and his secretaries
are somewhat dudish in their habits.
Several wagons were required to move
the trunks containing their apparel.
They change their costumes several times
a day. They own Il vast variety of very
tall hats, which are perforated Mt the top.
They wear their hats at the table, and
have n different kind of tilo for each

Fire From Steam Pipes.

1t still seems to be an unsettled ques-
ton whether wood can be ignited by the
heat of a steam pipe in contact with it.
1t is admitted, theoretically, that it is
impossible for wood to take fire at n
temperature of 212 dogs, or somewhat
higher, but it is well known that there
have boon q large number of cases of fire
reported as occurring from this cause, and
the evidence is very conflicting.-New

CHASE AS A REFoRMER.
His Accounts With the City Government
Show that He's Daisy"


A good deal has been said to the effect
that ii Mr.. Chase got into the board Of
trade and police commissioners he would
stick to the strict letter of the law, and
would frown down all attempts at obtain
ing any interest in contracts with the city.
Mr.. Chase was q member OF the old city
government, and he left record on the
books OF that defunct municipal concern.
Perhaps few pages from those musty
records may be of interest now, as show
ing how Mr.. Chase did his duty to the old
city.
Section 81 Of the old charter provided
as follows: "Nor shall the mayor or any
member Of the general council take any
interest whatever, in any form, manner or
shape, either directly or indirectly, in any
contract with such city, or be the beneii-
ciary OF any contract, by interest in as
signments, either for work or labor, or lor
goods or supplies OF any kind furnished.
This, OF course, would prevent council
man from specializing in the wages Of
police and frcmcn.

Typhoid Mortality in Chicago.

tant report demonstrating the unsatisfac.
tory character of hygiene in France. lie
finds that the deaths from typhoid fever
per 100 900 of population are G3 in Paris,
10 in Brussels, and II in Berlin and Lon
don. \ critique on this report, published
in a Lyons medical journal, points out
that, in addition to faulty hygiene, anti
quated methods Of treatment usual in
France may have something to an
swer for. Readers would be interested
in an explanation of the cause of the ty-
phoid mortality in Chicago. Even in
such a phenomenally healthy year as
1855 there were reported igG deaths
from typhoid fever in this city. On the
basis Of $50 600 poPula,ion-assumcd by
the health department this gives n NOR
tally Of 49, per 100, 600. or nearly one
fourth greater than the rate in Paris, and

The older men now living and the

recall how sombrs and stern and
gloomy we're the teachings Of the
Christian orthodoxy OF their youth. In
the race between Moses and Christ,
the church had been turned over to
the former, and the New Command
meut given by the Savior had besp
lost sight Of altogether amid the thun'
ders Of Sinai, The most repnisive
features of PhsrissiacAI Judaism had
been revised, and for the second time
in the history Of religion HlnDom
had become Ge-hennA. IL was this
terrible state Of theology that called
forth the protests OF William Ellery
Claiming, and which in the genera
tion after him gave birth to the broad
liberalizing Of Henry Ward Beecher
on the enc hand, and the rebellions
