ferences of opinion between them officially
these differences were only Of such a eharac
ter as could honestly exist between men ii

nature. Any statement tending 70 create
contrary impression, he said, was untrue

The workers in the new charity are
active propagandists. They insist
continually upon the evils of indis-
criminate giving. They assail the
public with facts and figures, and the
churches with biblical quotations.
They assure the latter that bread in
discriminatory given is cast not upon
the waters" but into the bottomless
pit-that it is 'the bread by which
men die" They establish in each city
an office TO serve as n clearing house
of charities, and so endeavor to pre-
vent the overlapping of the relief
given by different agencies. Their
general view of the situation enables
them to devise new and needed forms
of benevolence, and 10 ascertain what
additional legislation can DO really
helpful.
1t is very satisfactory when the con-
illusions of one set of thinkers coin
eide with the conclusions of others
who have approached the same sub
iect from a different standpoint
When, therefore, the philanthropist,
trying TO think and work in accord
ance with the principles of enlight-
ened self sacrifice, finds himself
agreeing in theory and practice with
the economist whose guiding star has
been enlightened self interest, " there
is reason to congratulate them BOTH

shire, the van is in the form of a
gridiron, this being the symbol of the
cruel death of st. Lawrence, the ''pa-
tron saint" of the place.
The towers of town halls are fire.
quently furnished with five vanes, a
central one higher than the rest, and
n at each angle. Sometimes the in
itial letters of the four points are placed
midway between the vanes. We know
the market place of a small border
town, pebble paved, with a tall market
cros raised OF nine steps near the cen
ter of it. There is still n large square
stone among the pebbles, where bulls
used to be baited, tied to the ring upon
it There is still an annual procession
of men TO it on horseback, carrying
halberds, TO proclaim a fair. There is
still a bevy Of pleasant country women
clustered in It every Saturday, who
have brought butter and eggs for sale
from the distant farms among the hills
and moors. 1t is always cool, quiet
and gray, with the surrounding houses
looking down upon il pensively.
Among these houses, on the west side,
stands the town hall, with an arch
way running right through it for foot
passengers, and on top of the hall rises
a central tower, with the vanes all
pennon shaped
Curiously, in country residences,
the vane is generally placed in the
stable yard, either on the bell clock
turret or on the louvred ventilator.
AS these notes have raised our eyes
10 objects above the ordinary level, we
may notice the ornamental ridge with
which large steep roofs are generally
furnished, as they have an origin not
generally known. In early times our
predecessors placed turfs or clods on
the upper ridges of the slanting sides
of the rough roofs TO keep out the rain
at their junction. Out OF these humps
of earth clusters of flowers and weeds
grow freely. Accustomed TO the floral
outlines thus made, our moro recent
ancestors handed down their remem-
brance of these wind borne seedlings
in the conventional foliage of the or
namental clay ridge now in common
use. -Quiver.

Peculiar Snow Storms.

There is n record of black snow in
Walpole, N. H, but snow of this color
appears to be somewhat rare. There
Is little mystery about these peculiar
snow storms, however, since micro
scopic Investigations have from time
TO time proven them to be caused
by either portions of various minerals,
shells Of infusoria, or parts of plants
or insects. Infusorial shells and
aquatic plants of especial localities
have been identified after having
crossed the and been deposited
in dust storms, thus tracing the course
of The aerial currents. Gutenberg is
said to have found not less than 32O
different species of organisms in the
dust OF various showers, of which five
were of marine origin. Humboldt and
Lieut.. Maury have also treated largely
on this topic. The same general ex-
PLANTATION that accounts for these
showers applies also TO the fall of liv-
ing organisms which have been pre-
viously mentioned. There seems to
be little doubt that winds, whirlwinds
and waterspouts are the chief cause OF
these phenomena. The several fish
showers that have been recorded were
ali preceded or accompanied by heavy
rain or a violent wind, forming what
is termed on land n whirlwind or al
sea a waterspout-Cor. Globe-D Demo,

DR.. Pinel, of Paris, is said TO have
succeeded in hypnotizing several sub
jects by means of the photograph.
All the commands given through this
channel were, he declares, as readily
obeyed as those which he uttered di-
rectly, and suggestions of every posi-.
BILE sort were as effectually communi-
Gated through the medium of the
machine as if made viva voce. The
conclusion which he deduces from his
experiments is that the received theory
of a magnetic current passing from
the operator to the subject is entirely
baseless, and that the real cause of
the phenomena of hypnotism is ner-
vous arrangement on the part of those
