A WORM-LlT SEA.

Venice Lying in a Bath of Glory When
 Night Falls on the Ocean.
 During the whole of the past year, as well as the last five months of 1889, the whole of the sea of Venice has been as one vast expanse of phosphorcscent waves whenever lashed to even the slightest extent by the winds. Formerly, says the New York Journal, this luminous appearance had been noticed only at intervals of about ten or fifteen years, then only from the beginning of sum- mer until about the end of harvest, and in places abounding with sea grass.
 Now every thing seems changed, the whole surface of the sea or gulf appear ing as sea of pale white fire as soon as darkness sets in on a windy night. In calm hooks the mere drawing of stick or cane back and forth through the water is sufficient to give the effect of an electric flash, the light dying out and again returning with the cbullitions of the water. A flask filled with the water emits no light until shaken vio- lently; the introduction of lead pencil or small stick, however, will cause the fluid to glow with greater intensity than any amount of shaking on the part of the experimenter.
 Strained through fine cloth the water loses all of it's peculiar proper ties, they having been imparted to the cloth, which now hickers and glows all over the entire surface like the spot where damp match has been scratched in the dark. After the aforementioned peculiarity was noticed scientists made examinations of cloths used in such operations and were rewarded for their pains by the discovery of the light-giv- ing midge, a minute worm or maggot, scarcely the One-seven-hundredth of an inch in length, each bow-shaped and very lively.
 Each of these little creatures is pro- vided with twenty-two mammil@ in- stead of feet, eleven on each side, and has eleven luminous rings around his tiny body. Persons living on the shores of the gulf say that when the waters sparkle more than usual it is a sure sign of a storm. -<a

unmarried and Erno,

There was one maiden lady who r. sided in Ulster County who was not al noyed by the term "old maid.'' Sl. rather gloried in it, according to writer in the Kingston Freeman. Ofte in conversation regarding the benefit and evils in matrimony, she was hear to say: Ut is risky at all events. I al free and comfortable, and intend to rt main so." As she was comedy, sh had admirers who had offered to he their hands, hearts and fortunes, so ST remained an old maid from inclinatio: and not as some malicious women wer heard to say because she couldn't hel herself" She was true to her prime. pies b the last. When on her bed, dul ing her last sickness, she sent for ; dealer in marble and gave him direc tions regarding the tombstone to b placed over her grave. Her orders wer, implicit, and after her death they wer. carried out conscientiously; and the tombstone that now marks the last rest ing place of the old maid in a cemcter not many miles from this city overlook ing a beautiful country village, contain after the name, date of birth and death the following terse but most emphatic inscriptions:

will the Philadelphia Quakere5S Receive
 the Trestment Here Described
 Like the Chinese, and in fact every other Asiatic race, the Japanese enter tain no respect for women, whom they regard as creatures Of inferior intelli- renee, resembling brutes in being, without soul. Thus it is almost i'm possible to bring any untraveled Jap inesc to comprehend the deference which the men of civilized nations pay to women. The latter, in his eyes, are solely fitted to act as the servants-nay, even as the slaves-of the stronger sex. seldom, if ever, is the wife permitted to it at table with her husband, no matter now high her rank may be, and when admitted to his presence she is forced oy etiquette to approach in the same manner as the domestics, namely, on III fours, with repeated prostratiOns.
 imagine a young and delicately lurturcd American girl, such as, for in- ,tance, the fair Qual1eress of Philadcl phia, who has always been accustomed % the most thorough deference and courtesy, thrown for the first time among a set of men such as the untrav- lied friends of her Japanese husband men who are devoid of every feeling. not alone of civilized respect for her sex, but even of the most elementary notions of civilized decency. Anybody who has lived among the Japanese, as nave, writes New York Tribune cor rcSpondent-not as mere tourist under .he tutelage Of an interpreter, but in lirect contact and understanding their .anguage-will bear me out when I as sert that it is impossible for a white woman to live among the natiy 4s in Japan without having every feeling o1 womanly respect and delicacy out -aged and, in course of time, complete ly blunted.

Oleonlarra-ino in Russia.

The Ministry of Imperial Property has prohibited the manufacture of oleo- margarine in Russia. The article will be allowed for sale only in exceptional cases, and then it will have to be kept in vessels painted a certain color, so that everybody can at once know what it is. A fine of five hundred rubles will be imposed on the merchant who sells oleomargarine for butter; at the repeti- tion of the Cffense> lis license will be ravOl-ed
