Much interest has lately been mani
tested in "alumInum" on account of
recent discoveries of methods of
obtaining it pure. While it is lighter
than wood, is much stronger and more
durable than steel, and is undoubtedly
a highly superior metal to use IN stoves.
The Michigan Stove Company, makers
of the renowned Garland" stoves and
ranges, are now using aluminium in their
stove castings, and are the only firm
that is doing this. The Garland"
stoves have always been the best, and
the use of aluminium in their manufac-
ture will put them yet farther ahead of
competitors. The stoves of this
company are handled in this city by c..

EUROPE FR0STBOUND.

The bitterly cold wave reported this
week as sweeping over Europe is but an
intensifcation of the low temperature
that has prevailed there for several
weeks past. While the people of the
United States have experienced what is
thus far a third mild winter, broken
only by the big snow storm at the East
three weeks ago, and a moderate fall of
the mercury in the West, the whole of
Europe has suffered from unusual cold,
and is now at the mercy of Arctic tenn
peratures which have no parallel in the
last two or three centuries. The cause
of the proionged cold and deep snow is
undoubtedly the prevalence of east
and northeast winds. The icy blasts
from Russia and Siberia have been of
unusual duration, and they have swept
down on the plains of Germany, France
and Spain, and given them an almost
Arctic temperature. The prevailing
winds of Europe during the past few
weeks have been like our breezes from
Manitoba and beyond. Heavy snow
storms all over Germany, with the
thermometer far below our zero, the
water supply of Oxford and large part
of London cut off because of bursting
pipes; the rivers in France and England
are frozen over; wholesale destruction
of wines in the subterranean caves of
the former country; Lake Geneva a
mass of ice at the surface, and even the
southerly lands of Italy and SPAN, layed
by the waters of the Mediterranean,
thiclly covered with snow-;lll tins en-
tails intense physical suffering directly

Buried in Lacea.

Lace headGresses, or what were called
heads of lace, were very fashionable in
England in the reigns of Mary and
Anne, and the ladies of the court some
times paid very large sums for a fine
head of French or Flemish lace, but the
extravagance in this fragile article of
luxury was never carried to the same
ruinous extent as in France. 1t was,
however, profusely worn during what
may be called the lace epoch. and was
even coveted as an article of adornment
after death.
Mrs. Oldfeld, the celebrated actress,
left instructions that she should be laid
in her coffin arrayed in very fine head
dress of Brussels lace, in a shroud Of
Holland linen with lace tucker and ruff
des and pair of kid gloves. Yards of
the cOstliest point d'Angleterre and
Mechlin laces were wrapped around the
corpse of the beautiful Aurora Won
Konigsmarck before she was laid in her
grave at Quedlinburg, and many Of the
mummies found in the catacombs of
the Capuchin convent at Palermo are
swathed in the same costly funeral
robes.-Chambers' Journal

mace, pieces Of glass, some beetles, q

feathers on, and a number Of caterpil-

to take bath is recorded by NJ. g.
Lyell, Jr. He saw it ahght close to the

whole Of the body and the lower part Of
the hind legs were submerged, the two
fore legs alone retaining their hold on
the dry land After remaining in this
position for something like half a min

Mr.. Lyen says: During the morning
I noticed a number doing the same
thing. In one instance no less than foui
were to be seen within q space Of not
more than three yards, and, to make
sure that was not deceived, captured
several as they rose fir ON the water, and
found in each case the body and lower
edge of the hind wings quite wet. While
in the water the futtering of the wings,
SO noticeable at other times, was sus-
pended, and 80 intent were the but
terfies in the enjoyment of the cold
bath that they could hardly move, even
when actually touched by the net.
Apparently the heat Of the weather
drove them down to the water, as imme-
diately upon emerging they few up
again to the hillside. Butterflies are
often seen apparently sucking in the
moisture around the edge of the pools;
but they have never before been seen
actually to enter the water. ."-Victoria
