Another nephew of Marat lives at
Saint Nazaire, and his son, a bankers
clerk, is in Paris, together with his mar
ried sister. Other relatives Of Marat

Albertine Marat, who, rs well rs ST.

of Danton is now an inspector of the

To Protect Metal.

To protect metal from oxidation, pol
ished iron or steel, for instance, it is
requisite to exclude air and moisture
from the actual metallic surface. There.
fore polished tools are usually kept in
wrappings Of oilcloth and brown paper,
and thus protected they will preserve a
spotless face for an unlimited time.
When these metals come to be OF

American Gallantry.

The swinish ~propensities of the hu-
man race are confined TO no national
ity, sect or color. | have met with
them in England, France and Germany
quite as often rs in America. Indeed,
| am far from sure that, take him with
all his faults, the American has not a
larger share of the generous virtues
than the man of any other country. /
remember once returning from an ex-
tended tour abroad, during which ! had
seen women sickened with cigarette
smoke in close railway carriages stand
ing on the decks of the Rhine steamers
while their welded lords enjoyed the
scenery and the Baier-bier on the few
chair in sight, and wading through seas
Of mud at street crossings, while a gal
liant Gaul, perched on the only dry
spot, barred his head in Difference to
their sex as they passed by.
The day ! landed in New York rode
once down and up Broadway in an ON
nibus to see how the city had changed
in my absence. The street was in a
vile condition, as usual. Next me sat
an elderly woman of the middle class,
very plainly but respectfully clad. She
was evidently a visitor from out of
town; and when the stage stopped for
her to alight at her destination she
looked timidly this way and that, as II
fearful she might lose her footing on
the slippery stone pavements and be
run down in the crush of moving We
hicles.
In an instant a young man who had
been reading his newspaper sprang up,
alighted, held open the door and helped
the old woman down, escorted her to
the sidewalk in safety, ran after the
stage and caught it, jumped aboard
again and resumed his reading as II he
had done only the most natural thing
in the world. A thrill went through

Love Among snakes.

John Graffius, Of Bell township. was
out in the woods, half a mile from
home. when he discovered and extin-
guished the light of a black snake six
feet long. Tying a string to the rep
tiles tail lac dragged it home. The
next day his Vol went out to look at
the snake. and there by its side lay its
mate, a serpent fully three inches
longer than its dead mate. Ii seemed
to be in deep mental distress. and was
using all its blacksnake arts to awaken
its spouse from the sleep Of death, when
q blow on the head with a club sealed
its fate also. Thus il will be seen that

The English Channel Problem.

The English will not consent to a
tunnel under the channel, lest il might
serve as n path for an invading foe,
and objection is made to the proposed
bridge across the channel, not only be-
cause il would obstruct navigation, but
for the more serious reason that the
project Is impracticable. As n compro-
mise, NJ. Bunan V%arilla, n young
French engineer, who has already dis
tingulshed himself, proposes TO con
struct the tunnel to within half a mile

Praying by Machinery.

Praying by machinery is usual among
the inhabitants Of central Asia. A
large, hollow cylinder like a drum is
erected. and within it are inclosed the
prayers that any one may wish to offer,
written out neatly. The cylinder is
then made to revolve by wind or water
power, and every time that it goes
round the devotee imagines it TO be
equivalent to a verbal repetition Of all

the habit Of minute economies @! SELF
abnegation in little things. 1t is my
experience. for instance, that in sending
young man to do a days literary work
in another town, when his expenses arc
paid, he needs no instruction as to hay-
ing a comfortable lunch, giving the nee
essary time to it, and taking cab or
a carriage TO save time or avoid a wet
ting; whereas such duties have to be
Iaboroiusly impressed upon woman;
and. after all, she usually goes whole
day on cup of tea, and gets her feet
wet by walking where She should ride,
She is also less ready to meet an emer-
gcncy by independent action, not for
want OF readiness, but from long habits
of scIr-distrust. All these are draw
backs that must be cleared away if
women are to compete with men i'll what
has hitherto been mems sole work.
Whether it is best that they should SO
compete is not now the question; for the

The Proposed Drainage of the Great Vale,
of Mexico.

The Proposed Drainage of the Great Valley
of Mexico.
Tho drainage of the great valley Of
MeXico which has at last been def
nitcly undertaken, will be one Of the
most interesting works in the history of
engineering, whether we look at the
stupendous proportions of tho project,
or at the magnitude of the sanitary ad-
vantagcs which will accrue from its
completion. A sanitary engineer would
saw that the capacious valley in the
middle of which lies the City of Mex
leo, was, notwithstanding its fertile soil
and admirable climate, not intended by
nature for the habitation of teeming
population. 1t is deep cup-like de-
nression surrounded by a mountain ram
part and possessing nonatural outlet for
water or sewerage. Nevertheless, for
manv centuries, not only since the Span
ish conquest but in Aztec and the Still
remoter Toltec times. the valley has
been densely peopled. The result is
that the ground on which the large
cities stand reeks with corruption, and
the ad djacent stagnant lakes are clogged
with age-long accumulations of filth,
engendering the most dangerous mias'
matte and typhoidal conditions If the
masses of the Mexican people were not
in the habit of drinking pulche instead
of water, they would be continually
decimated, for it is impossible in the
City Of Mexico to procure pure drinking
water except by distillatiou Under the
Spanish Viceroys, an attempt was made
10 drain the valley and tunnel for
that purpose was driven through one OF
the rocky walls that hem it in. But
through some miscalculation of the con
structors, the opening was begun at toe
high a point and is now useless. The
new boring will be made at a level low
enough to effectively drain the lakes

kept looking sharply to right and left
a' every STEP lest some wild beast
should pounce down upon him from the
lnterlaced boughs overhead. or some
Venomous serpent dart out upon him
from the long grass in which he stood
"aist-deeP; nor did he ever feel quito
safe till he had left the last thicket n
good way behind.
Altogether, the Big Bayou was not at
all the Kind of place where one would
have expected to meet any one who had
anywhere else to go; and still less
could one have thought that a brisk
young officer of the British navy, set
ting foot on shore for the first time
after two months cruise, would turn
his back upon the breezy hills and
beautiful plantations to march straight
OIL into this dreary swamp.
This, however, was just what Lieu
tenant Alfred Marsden, of the
Britannia, had done; and here he was,
tramping through the gloomiest part of
the morass with his double -barreled
rifle on his shoulder and BLACK Sam"
the boldest and most skillful among tho
negro hunters Of the island, following
close at his heels.
This looks a likely place for big
snakes, Sam," said Marsden, glancing
keenly round him. 81 hope we shan't
meet with any of them"
NE hope meet dem berry much, sar,"
replied Sam, with broad grin,
"Why are you SO fond of snakes
then? | hate them like poison"
mo fond Of snake, sar, but berry
fond oh de Gubberment reward for
ebbery big snake killed. Five pound
big lump money for poor black man.
Ha! see derc"
The last words were spoken in whis-
per, while Sam, stepping in front of tho
Lieutenant made sign to him to re-
main perfectly still.
For some distance ahead of them the
long grass was crushed down into the
earth, as il some one had been dragging
log or coil Of rope through it; and
this kind of trail seemed to lead into a
thick bed of tall reeds on the edge Of
one of the deepest and gloomiest pools.
Snake, sar!" whispered Sam, with q
