Tho Thiers Tracks.

A giant thief who was compelled to cross
a bed of clay was observed carefully cover
ing up his tracks with sand from bag
which he carried for the purpose.
"Why do you thatW he was asked by an
officer who was hiding near by.
Because" he answered, 81 scorn the
cheap potoriety Of present detection, caring

Twenty centuries afterward when some
degenerate workmen OF the period where
excavating for the penitentiary which with
great propriety was to be erected on the
spot, they found his tracks, the sand having
blown away and the clay hardened to stone.

1t was about II o'clock, on the elevated
road-and elsewhere.
At Twenty third street two pretty young
women in good clothes came aboard.
The morning rush was past, but still the
car was full of comfortable business men
studiously devoted to their newspapers.
Not seat was vacant, and not one was
offered. One Of the young women hitched
herself to a strap with an air of familiarity
with the process; the other looked on and
at the men with an expression of intellec-
tual curiosity, not unmixed with scorn.

A gentleman sitting on one of the cross
seats with his back to them now rose with
an amused expression, saying:

surrendered his seat, whereupon his visa

smiling thanks, were seated, the southern.

THE rrFrcrs or ALCOHOL.

Although the effects of alcohol are
familiar II is we'll TO recall them when we
would measure the strength Of the tendency
OF excessive indulgence TO become habit.
The action OF this stimulant on the average
human being is first to an him with
serene and delightful self-complacsncy. His
feelings and his faculties are for the moment
exalted into state of great activity and
buoyanoy, so that his language becomes en-
thusiastic and his conversation v,vacious II
not brilliant. Gradually, however, il the
indulgence be continued, the senses become
dulled, soft humming seems TO All the
pauseS of the conversation and to modify the
tones of the speaker, a filmy haze obscures
the vision, the head seems lighter than
usual, and the equilibrium is disturbed BY
and by objects appear double, or fit con
fusedly before the eyes; the exercise of
Judgment is suspended, the power of reti.
cence isannhilated and the victim of drink
throws forth all that is within him in un-
restrained communicativeness: he becomes
boisterous, ridiculous, and sinks at length
into a mere animal. Every person and
everything around him--the houses, trees,
even the earth itsef--seems drunken and
unstable, while in his own eyes he alone
seems sober, till at last the final stage is
reached, and he falls on the ground insen-
sible-dead drunk, MS it Is cslled--in apo
plectic state from which, after profound
slumber, he at last emerges exhausted, fever
ish, sick and giddy, with ringing ears and a
violent headache. .-Once-a- Week,

A LONG Mani Reduced.

The long Polar night will DO hence
forth more bearable to the 1000 inhab.
itants Of Hammerfest, In Norway, the
northernmost village OF Europe. Electric
light has been introduced into- every
house in the hamlet. The power is
brought from three small streams a short
distance from Hammerstein, whose cur
rents are so strong and swift that the
water does not freeze even in winter.
The people of the town have reason, in
deed, to be grateful to the inventor Of
the electric light. The long night begins
at Hammerstein en- November 19 and
lasts until January 23, so that the ar.
tificial illumination will be of service for
siSty-six days. On the other hand, il
will be practically useless and unneces-
sary from May 16 to July 26, during
which time the sun never ceases to shine.
Hammerstein lies in north latitude 10
degrees 30 minutes 10 seconds. At 67
degrees % minutes, north latitude, the
longest night lasts one month; at go
degrees, 81 minutes it lasts two months,
and at 73 degrees 40 minutes, three
months. The polar night is shortened
aud the polar day is heightened by the
rofraction of light. The inhabitants of
Hammerstein, in fact, have no real night
between March 80 and September 12.-

SMUT OF GRAIN.

According to German publications,
DR.. Oskar Brefeld, of Berlin, and Pro
fessor of Botany at Munster, has observed
that the minute plants constituting the
fungus disease of smut in grain send
their fugitive filaments into the substance
of the host supporting them. Therefore
the smut fungus, he explains, consists of
two portions, viz the threads Casually
colorless and consequently not easily
SEEM and the bodies known as spores,
which are minute and spherical aud in
mass constitute the smut, as seen by the
naked eye. These spores, when free
from the grain OF any other plant, arc
able to germinate and produce multitudes
OF sprout spores, which in time may re-
produce themselves. This discovery was
made by growing smut spores artiicially
in nutrient solutions and, it is SAID, up
sets the theory that smuts can live and
grow only on plants known to be in
tested by them.
DIR. Brefeld found that the form OF
the fungus so grown corresponded with
