II is stated in the official report that
7O2 persons died between the 14th and
18th ult at Bokhora, of heat; and the
figures, it expressly added, do not in
clude children. If this amazing CAL
amity be not due to any atmospheric
violence, as a Bad-i Simeon, for ex-
ample. it is probably unequsled in au-
thentic records But when we think
"f the agony, the horrible wretched-
ness in which the whole population
must have been living. it may well
seem that those who found escape in
death are not to be pitied.
The horror of heat il unknown to
US, or indeed to any part Of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are des-
perately trying sometimes. But to
the natives of Scinde, Central Asia,
the shores of the Persian Gulf, the
sun of Greece is but a trife. The
utter helplessness OF man under this
infection, adds horror to his sutferings
There is no hope and no resource
when the red-hot air penetrates to
those underground chambers in winch
the Summer is passed in Central Asia.
"The Inhabitants" We learn, are
shutting themselves up to escape
probably closing all the aperturss If
their subterranean abodss, except
those absolutely necessary for ventla-
ton. The air down below, under
such circumstances, cannot be i'm.
aginsd by one who has not touch of
experience. Houses of good class are
solidly constructed under ground,
with chambers aud doors and CORR.
dors; but the mass of the people in
habit big holes, rooted over, with no
kind Of permanent convenience.
Every Winter the frost and snow and
rain play mischief with these rough
pits. and the damage is not always,
not nften. repaired by the following
Summer.
Fancy thousands of Mongols in these
dens, pursuing their filthy habits in
semi-darknsss, suffering the awful tor
insnt of heat. children wailing, adults
raving, always in want of water and
generally Of food. in an atmos phere
beyond ccnceiving. = London Stan

Professor BrownSequard is re-
ported to have lately informed tbs
French Academy cf sciences that by
condensing the waterey vapor coming
from the human lungs he obtained a
po sonous liquid capable of producing
almost immediate death. The poison
is an alkalod (organic). and not a
microbe or series of microbes. He in
iected this liquid under the skin OF
cat and the effect was speedily mortal
without convulsions. DIR. Sequard
said it was fully proved that rsspired
air contains a volatile element far
more dangerous than tho carbonic
acid which is one of its constituents,
aud that the human breath contains a
highly poisonous agent This start
ling fact should be borne in mind by
the occupants Of crowded horse cars
and i'll ventilated apartments. .-Bos-

CT what are usually termed amuss-
inents, was never prsc.iced TO such an
extent In this country as at present.
Rowing, running, bicycling, walking,
canoeing, yachting, horseback riding
and base ball are the principle methods
If joining exercise to diversion. To
these perhaps should be added boxing,
although the latter exercise is mostly
confined To professionals or to those
who expect some day to become such.
Other things being equal, that form Of
exercise which requires the least ex-
ponditure of money and accomplishes
the mosi in the way Of physical de-
velopment without any moral deteri.
Grafton ought to be the most popular.
Rowing, for the most part, is confined
to clubs, although anybody can have
all tho benefits Of this exercise who is
living near the water, and can invest a
small sum in sklf dug-out or any
sort of craft which can be propelled
with oars or paddles. Only few,
outside Of the rowing clubs, take IL
this form of exercise, and inside of the
clubs it is generally carried to excess.
The crack oarsman is seldom heard OF
outside Of these organizations. He is a
great man in college boat-races, and
then drops back into obscurity. The
< nd II trimming that he has enjoyed is
not Of the all-round sort. Rowing
will never become national game,
because, from the nature OF things, IT
cannot become universal. The large
interior populations can never enjoy
this kind of exercise. The river, lake.
estuary and still water Of the harbor
will present advantages for few
thousands. For the rest, they must
seek some other methods OF diversion,
or discard them altogether That part
of the population who earn their daily
bread by manual labor have less occa.
sion to resort to any of the popular
methods Of physical exercise. But
they like diversion and will devote a
few hours to some game with as much
enthusiasm as if phys cal exercise
were something OF a novelty.
There was time when games Of
running had sumo claim to popularity,
but the enthusiasm for these subslded
into abort spuits, or what is called
'sprinting." The best man is the
one who can run hundred yards and
reach the goal first. There is no test
here Of endurance. Years ago few
W ute men trained themselves to run
races with Indians, and the former
generally won the victories. These
races were for distances Of ten miles
or more. They were tests OF sndur-
ance, speed and muscle. Fifty years
ago Yale student (Stannard) attracted
the attention Of tho whole country by
his swiftness OF feet and endurance.
He was pitted against the feetest
Indians. One of the races run on
Long Island attracted more attention
Mt the time than any horse race that
had ever been witnessed in the
country. Young men caught the
spirit of the times. There we're thou
sands of amateur races. There was
prospect that running might become
national game, as it was once with the
Greeks. But in few months the
enthusiasm for that form of athletic
sport subsided. 1t has never been
revived, except as far as mere sprint
ing goes. Trained Americans had
beaten the swiftest Indians and that

BERLIN'S CITY SHELTER.
Unique Germar Charity Which Might
Well BE Instituted Here

a Unique Germar Charity Which Might
Well BE Instituted Here.
Ono of the most noteworthy institu-
tions of Berlin is that known as the
''City Shelter" the like of which is
to be found in no other capital in the
world. 1t stands just outside Berlin,
was opened in October, 1887, and is
intended for the accommodation not
only of homeless individuals, but of
homeless families as well. 1t consists
OF one large three story building. and,
in the rear, twenty one-story barracks,
each of which is capable of accom-
modating from sixty to eighty per-
sons. The main building is intended
chiefly for poor families. Rents are
excessively high in Berlin, and it
often happens that an artisan or la
borer gets into arrears with his pay
ments. and finds himself elected with
his family into the street, having no
money in his pocket with which to
hire fresh rooms. His resource on
such an occasion is the ''City Shelter"
whittier he goes with his wife and
children and whatever household eff
fects he shall possess.
On their arrival the clothing they
wear and the furniture they have
brought with them are thoroughly dis
infected, and the members of the fami-
ly are sent to different parts of the
establishment, according to sex or
age. The husband is located in the
mems department.; the wife, the eldest
daughters and the smallest childrenE
are sent to that for women, while the
boys over six years of age are cared
for in rooms specially set apart for
them. The entire family are allowed
to remain in the shelter for eight
days, and are not only lodged, but are
provided also with good wholesome
food by the city. not a penny being
asked for from them in return. The
women, however, are expected to as
sist in the laundry and in keeping the
establishment scrupulously clean; the
men are allowed certain hours of ab-
sence, during which they may go in
search of work should they be out of
employment. while the boys get regu-
lar instruction in the school-rooms.
Should it be found that the husband
or father has honestly striven to obtain
work during the eight days, but has
failed, the family is allowed to remain
for still another such period. Even
then, if he should have obtained an en-
gagement which is not sufficiently re-
munerative to enable him to set up q
fresh home at once. the wife and chill
dren may remain still longer in the
shelter, and he may go there and sleep
at night. Even with all this the kind
ness of the city does not end. for when
at last the family leave they may be
presented with from fifteen to twenty
shilIings toward their preliminary
household expenses.-N. 7. Post
