WHY a Lobster Is Red.

In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent. of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster the iron is oxidized. This
effect is largely due also to the percent
age Of muriatic acid which exists natur-
ally in the shell. The chemical change
which takes place here is almost similar
to that which occurs in the burning of a
brick. In boiling lobster its coat ceases
to be living substance, and to certain
extent it takes new character 1t is as
a brick would be after burning. This
effect can also be produced by the sun,
but necessarily not SO rapidly, as the
heat of that luminary, although more
intense, is not concentrated sufficiently
to produce the result. The sun also ex-
ercises bleaching influence, which con-
sumes the oxide almost as fast as it is
formed, leaving the shell white or nearly
pure lime.-Washington Republic.

comparatively short. so as to show the

somewhat overbulky about ten years ago
has vanished entirely.

sissippi was convicted of embezzlement
and sentenced to five years in the peni-
tertiary.
Eyraud, while confessing that his
crime was deliberate, exonerates Gabrielle
Bompard, in whose room Gouffe was
murdered.
Sampson and Isaac Heidenheimer, two
wealthy citizens of Galveston, Tex, have

Twenty or thirty leading colored men

An effort is being made to secure the

overtake them.
Two men, who boarded the Northern
Pacific at North Yakima, WASH, robbed

An Hour,s Snooze

During cold weather some of the
paupers resort to some very odd tricks to
get into some house where they can
warm their chilled bodies by the gener-
GUS heat from fire or steam register.
The other Sunday, when it was quite
cold, a middle aged man of scraggy
beard, unkempt hair, wearing worn out
boots and seedy coat and ragged panta-
looms, and presenting a most repulsive
and dirty appearance, entered the door
of st. Johns Methodist church quietly,
and took seat near the rear part Of the
room. When the congregation struck
up hymn the miserable tramp joined
in the singing with apparently as good
time as auy of the choristers. 1t was at

PunS and PunSferS-

Both Hood and Hook-perhaps we
might add Person also-were punsters
by profession. But there are puns ex-
tant by unknown authors which either
might have felt pride in owning. A
Cambridge fellow, walking with a visi-
tor, met by chance the master of ST.
Johns on horseback. WHO is that?'
inquired the visitor. That replied the
other, sis st. Johns head on charger"
We are given instances of puns which
have only one defect, they are too witty
to be used. Thus ''the heir of the duke
of Penthievre died in 1854, ruined by an
attachment to an opera singer, Mile.
Mire." The wits of Paris made his
epitaph of five notes of music-"Mi re
Fami la''-"Mire has brought him there. g"

At the recent conference at Maynooth,
Ireland, the Roman Catholic prelates re-
solved that the time has arrived when
very decided action should be taken to
enforce their claims upon the government
on the subject of education.
Hypnotism has reached that point that
the French authorities think OF creating
q superior council of medical jurispru-
dence at the Ministry of Justice, to be
composed OF medical men and magis-
trates, who will be required to give opin-
ions as to the responsibility of criminals
in connection with the questions Of sug-
gestion and hypnotism and heredity.

Living in Paris.

Of living in Paris outside Of a hotel I
know but little, except that a gentleman
who has spent-a great deal of time here
and seen a good deal of society said to
me that in no city can one live SO abso-
lutely as he pleases as in Paris and still
be respectable and fashionable. 1t was
some time before New Workers took
kindly to modern flats, with their DOS
sible improvement and convenience.
High life of that kind was not to their

With gilded trappings around;

Which brings the beautiful day;
Softly as falls the shades Of night
Our cares to Danish away;

Noiselessly moving winged feet
Lightly they climb the garnet stair
Enter the cottager's door.

Enriching homes of the poor.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The signal of.
flee furnishes the following bulletin to
the press:
The temperature reports this morning
show that for the opening day of spring
the temperatures ARE the lowest known
from New Orleans, La, and Brownsville.
Tex. where freezing temperatures pre-.
vail, northward to keokuk and Des
Moines where temperature Of minus
8 degrees was reported.
The temperature over Louisiana, Ar.
kansas and Eastern Texas range from
4 degrees to 13 degrees lower than ever
before. The line Of lowest temperature
ever known for this period Of the year
has moved eastward about 200 miles
and severe frosts have already occurred
in Georgia. II is remarkable that the
first day Of spring shows along the gull
coast from Western Florida to Southern
Texas colder weather than has been
known for the entire winter. and similar
conditions will doubtless obtain for to.
night and Sunday from the northern
half OF Florida to Maryland and possibly
to Pennsylvania. The temperatures Of
scasonable warmth cannot bc looked tor
in the Atlantic States before Tuesday.
