ImpurIty of Melted Snow.

Writers in English papers have been
again pointing out the fallacy of the
very common idea that melted snow is
an ideally pure water. The reverse Of
this is true. So far from being pure,
snow is practically great purifier of
the atmosphere from floating particles
and noxious gases. These the flakes of
snow imprison or absorb as they fall,
and, as a matter of course, when the
snow melts it is loaded with this rub
Dish.

FRENCH NOTIONS OF AMERICA.

The notion that the United States is a
country principally inhabited by people
of Indian race still clings to a great
many Europeans, and even some of
those who are educated. The most
singular misapprehensions concerning
the Indians and the part of the country
they occupy are continually appearing
in the newspapers in Europe. A French
periodical called Science Pour Tous
(Science for AID, which declares it's
aim to be enlightenment of the public,
recently published the following alb
surd article:
''We have received some interesting
information concerning the incidents
which preceded the recent rising in
arms of the Indians in the west, and
one of the first engagements.
1.-THE Seated Bull, their chieftain,
having resolved to make known the
fact that the Indians had not received
their annuities and certain promised
munitions, betook himself to the capitol
at Washington.
''There he laid before the president
OF the Legislative body his complaints
of the governmental agents, who he de-
clared had stolen what was the Indians
due.
HE was informed that his declara-
tions would be taken under considera-
ton, and he departed. But the promise
having remained without performance,
the Seated Bull once more came to the
capitol.
"This time, in the midst of the assem-
blage, the Seated Bull did not utter a
word, but drew his tomahawlz and dealt
with il a terrible blow upon the marble
table which was before him. The table
was broken in two, and the chiefs
tomahawk buried itself in the floor be-
Meath
sit was the token of the chiefs declar-
alton of war.
'The Seated Bull then left the CAPT
,ol without anyone daring to lay hand
1pon him. Returning to his canoe,
which he had tied to one of the piers of
he great bridge across the Potomac
liver, he padded rapidly back to his
own territory"

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
A Case which yithstood All Tests to De-
fect Fraud.

a case Wnlcn sfitKlStoou AL Aeots " Oo-
tect Fraud.
My first acquaintance with the nara
tive dates from my boyhood says a
writer in Chambers Journal. About
the time of the occurrence heard it re-
lated by my father; and his authority
was the we1l-known Gen. Avitable,
lRunjeet Singh's right-hand man, who
was present at the facts. Those facts
are that certain ''joghee," (Hindu an
chorite) said to possess the power of
suspending at viii and resuming the
animation of his body, was sent for by
Runjeet Singh, and declining to obey
was brought by force into the tyrant's
presence and ordered to give under pain
of death practical proof of his sup
posed power. He submitted perforce.
He was put by his disciples through GER
tain processes, during which he became
perfectly unconscious: the pulse ceased,
his breath did not stain polished mir
ror, and a European doctor who was
present declared that the heart had
ceased to beat. To all appearances he
was as dead as Queen Anne.
In this state he was put in carefully
made box, the lid closed and sealed with
Runjeet Singh's own signet ring. The
box was buried in vault prepared in
an open plot of ground under the royal
window at Lahore, and the place was
guarded day and night by Runjeet's
own guards under Gen. Avitable's own
Sun and rain came and
grass sprung up, grew and withered on
= he s,,,.foaa ,1,a,- +l,e cr,.ava opd fha con-
tries went their rounds, and the joghee's
disciples and friends were all kept I'M
der careful surveillance, not to call it
After forty days, in
Runjeet Singh's own presence, the vault
was uncovered and the box extracted
from it with its seals intact. 1t was
opened and showed the joghee within
precisely as he had been placed. He
was taken out, dead still to all appear
ance, but the body incorrupt His dis
ciples were now brought to manipulate
the body in the manner which he had
taught them and which he had pub
licly explained before his burial. He
revived as he had said he would, and
was soon in as perfect health as when
he had suspended his life! He refused
Ill gifts and retired to his former re-
treat, but shortly afterward he and his
disciples disappeared. 1t was not safe
for such man to live in the jurisdiction
Of so inquisitive and arbitrary a ruler.
Runjeet Singh cared little for human
life, which was his toy or plaything. No
one who knows his historical character
will for moment admit that he would
ct himself be deceived or played upon
IN the matter on which he had set his
leart Each scene-the suspension of
life, the burial, the disinterment, the
'eviving = took place in the tyrant's
,wn presence and before hundreds of |
ipectators, in open daylight and with |
very precaution that absolute despotic
power could command. Runjeet cared |
title whether the man lived or died, SO
hat his own curiosity was gratified.
The guards under the palace windows
commanded by Avitable would be anX-
Gus solely to carry out Runjeet Singh's
wishes

THE WORLDS LARGE CITIES.

THERE are nearly $4,000 colored peo-
pie ia New York City.
1IlrrY thousand Americans con-
'ilRsly reside in London.
THERE are said to be 1,50O Chinese
laundres in New York City, earning
over SS3, 500, 900 annually.
The atmosphere of London is said to
be gradually becoming more and more
harmful to plant life, and tisattributed
in II large measure to the thick fogs.
The city gas-works of Berlin brought
81, 150, 900 clear profit into the treasury
during the last financial year, despite
the unusually heavy expenditures for
new gas house and conductors.
In 1881 Belfast had 20S,12 inhabi-
tants: Dublin, 349, ,662; Cork, S0,l 1874. In
1871 Belfast stood at 4,412, Dublin at
346, 326. The decrease of the one and
the increase of the other are femarka-
BILE.
PARIS can not hope to be a sea port.
Tho Coancil General of the Seine In
ferieuro has unanimously refused to as
sent to the scheme for rendering the
seine nayigable as far as Paris for sea-
going vessels.
LONDON has an area larger than New
York. Paris and Berlin all put together;
Berlin has an area of 20 square miles:
Paris is only a trife larger; New York
has an area of AZ square miles, and Lon
don has an area of 12l.
IT was recently found, taking the city
of Frankfort, which has a population of
l67, 900 and is one of the wealthiest for
It's population in Germany, that there
were 3j,3S7 self-supporting adults who
We're Gaming an annual income of less
than S2l6 u year.
UNDERGROUND London is far more
wonderful than underground Paris.
Take, for example, it's 5000 miles of
sewers, it's $4,000 miles of telegraph
wires, its $500 miles of water mains, its
1900 miles of gas pipes, all definitely
iXed. Yet not even these compare with
ne vast cellarage area beneath the feet
of the pedestrian.

To BE totally fashionable just at pres

elry In the shape of u heart. Beautiful
heart-shaped pins and rings are shown
composed of a turquoise surrounded by
pearls or diamonds.
PRETTY addition to a dressing-ta
is cut-glass candelabra. These come
in pairs of two branches each, or one Of
five branches is equally desirable. The
newest ones have gold and silver SOCK
cts for holding the candles.
CHRYsANTHEMUM lamps are all the rage
The prettiest are of cut glass, supported
by quite slender stem, and with the
shade of white or yellow silk, fringed
SO as to resemble the flower from which
they take their name.
Ox-cHAN bracelets are the newest
things that society girls have chosen by
which to announce that they are fet-
tered to bold laddie. They can be
made in gold, if one so desire, but the
most approved ones are of silver.
1T was sure to come, in light of GER
tain events-that is, the dancing fad.
The popularity which the various for
cign dancers in New York have achieved
and the evident desire of the public for
all descriptions of stage dancing has
brought it about.

A singular story comes from Green
point, N. Y. A large mansion in the
vicinity took fire, which originated in
the main chimney, and the flames were
spreading rapidly. A young man ran
to the duck pen and secured number
of the largest fowls. Then he took a
ladder, and mounting to the top of the
house went to the chimney, from which
danes and smokes were pouring, and
Foprcd the ducks one after another
nto the fiery shaft. This had the effect
# checking the flames and the fire was
,ubdued.
