The Millionaire Mother of a Socialist.
 One of the richest women in the world, the Duchess of Galliera, died in Paris. Her grace was the daughter and heiress of the Marquis de Brignole Sale, rich Genoese nohleman. She years ago mar ried the Duke de Galliera, who was very wealthy, but their fortune was enor- mously increased by judicious specula- tions. Some idea of the Duchess of Gal liera's riches and benevolence can be formed when it is said that her husband gave s1 100000 to the city of Genoa to enlarge the port, and the duchess e2, ,0OO,- 900 to build a new hospital-the most magnificent in Europe-to enlarge five streets and to restore churches and charitable institutions. She also pre- sented to her native city her palace, the celebrated Palace Rosso, with its superb collection of Vandyke and other pictures by the great masters. In Paris she en- dowed a museum of art, an orphanage and other charitable institutions, and she is well known also to have purchased back good deal of the Spanish estates of the Due de Montpensier, which she presented to him many years ago. The only son and heir of this lady, Signor Ferrari-he refuses the title of duke-is a well known socialist, whereas the duchess herself was an extreme Royalist. London Court Journal.

Superstition About Storms.

Caverns were supposed by the Rom
ans to be secure places of refuge during
thunder storms, and they believed that
lightning never penetrated more than
two yards into the earth. Acting on
this superstition, the Emperor Augustus
used to Withdraw into some deep vault
of the palace whenever tempest was
feared, and it is recorded by Suetonius
that he always wore skin OF seal around
his body as protection against light
ming. That both precautions are equally
unavailing needs scarcely to be men
toned.
Lightning has been known to strike
ten feet into the earth but not even
the marvellous accuracy of modern
science can determine ct what distance
from the surface safe retreat may be
found from the descending fuid and
even were this ascertained, the dangers
from ascending electric currents remain
the same. With regard to seal-skin, we
find that the Romans attached SO much
faith to them as non-conductors that
tents were made of them, beneath which
the timid used to take refuge.
1t is curious fact that in the neigh
borhood of Mount Cevennes, in the Ian
guedoc, where anciently some Roman
colonies were known to have existed.
the shepherds cherish similar super
stitution respecting the skins of serpents
These they carefully collect. and, hav-
ing covered their hats withal, believe
themselves secure against the danger Of
the storm. M. Labossiere is disposed
to see link Of interesting analogy be-
tween the legend which yet fingers in
the mind Of the peasant Of Cevennes,
and the more costly superstition held in
reference by his Latin ancestors.
The Emperors Of Japan retire into !
deep grotto during the tempests which
rage in such severity in their latitude;
but, not satisfied with the profundity Of
the excavation, or the strength Of the
stones of which it is built, they complete
their precautions by having q reservoir
of water sunk in their retreat. The
water is intended to extinguish the
lightning measure equally futile,
since many instances have been pre-
served in which the fluid has fallen upon
the water with the same destructive ef-
feet as upon land. New York Mail ana
