wild with fear plunged back uR the stair
way, closely followed by his wife, Mr..
Hirt secured the child, but when he
reached the head of the stairway again it
was mass of flames. They then kicked
the glass from a window and jumped to a
shed below. The mothers face, neck and

burned about the face, neck, and hand,

Perfumed Mfsts.

On certain parts of the coast OF
France, including the channel, mists
occasionally appear which are gener-
ally called "perfumed mists." They
come il The morning, especially dur
ing the spring, and, strangely enough,
only when the wind is in the north
east. Sometimes they only last for a
few minutes, at others they hang
about all day. They have character
istic smell, similar to that of q lime
kiln.
The origin of these mists is mys-
terry. In one district the inhabitants
thought the smell came from some
lime kilns some miles to the mort rtheast,
and they may have been right; but
that was not an explanation of the
phenomenon, because the smell from
those lime kilns could not have been
carried by a northeast wind to all the
other places where the mists we're seen
and the smell noticed.
In one of these places the northeast
wind comes from the sea, in another
it comes from overland; the smell
does not, therefore, necessarily come
from the ground. During the past
few weeks the northeast wind has beer
very prevalent and the mists frequent
The best explanation given is thai
the clustering northeast and east winds
sweep mp the dust, gases and germs'oi
the ground over which they pass ant
drive them toward the sea. WheI
this wind has continued for some tim,
it contains such a.quantity of these
things as to affect all our organs tina
is the cause of the complaints whicl
appear when the east wind blows, ant
it may be the cause of those ''per
fumed mists. "-Paris Petit Revue.

Barteffng for Furs.

The system of trading at all the
posts of the Hudson Bay Company is
entirely one Of barter. The standard
of value throughout all the territories
of the company is still las for cen-
turies past-the skin of the beaver, by
which the price of all other furs is
regulated. Any service rendered by
the Indian is paid for in skins, the
beaver skin being the unit of compu-
tation. To explain this system, let it
be assumed that four beavers are
equivalent in value to silver fox
skin, two martens to q beaver, twenty
muskrats to marten, and SO on. An
Indian wishing to purchase a blanket
or gun from the company would give
say three silver foxes or twenty beaver
skins, or zoe muskrats, or other furs,
according to their proper relative po.
sitions of worth in the tariff.
For q very evident reason the trap.
per price paid for furs is not fixed in
strict accordance with their intrinsic
value; il this were SO all the valuable

Blind Horses Smell Their Way.

The way in which blind horses can
go about without getting into more
difficulties than they ordinarily do is
very remarkable. They rarely, if
ever, hit their heads against a fence or
stone wall. They will sidle off when
they come near one. 1t appears from
careful observations, that it is neither
shade nor shelter which warns them of
the danger. On an absolutely sunless
and MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for, when
driving them, they will poke their
heads downward is search of water
fifty yards before they come to a
stream crossing the roadway. 1t can
not be au abnormally developed sense
Of hearing which leads them to do this,
for they will act alike though the
water be stagnant pool. Men who
have been blind for any great length
of time develop somewhat similar in.
stincts to blind horses. Chicago
