The Archduks Rainsr's collection of ten
thousand Egyptian pspyrus documents 1,
now on exhibition In Vienna. These doc
uments are written In eleven di6sfsnt Lam
gusges and have all bssn disdphsrsd and
scientifically arranged. They cover ps-
rlod Of 2, 500 years and are said to contain
evidence that printing from type was
known to the Egyptians as far back a. the
tenth century A. D. They were discovered
at El FAvoum several years ago.
Hitherto the English and Ansrioan Bible
societies have enjoyed the phvilsRs Of cir
culsting magazines and tracts and Of main
tanning travelling agents in Russia, but re-
Gently the various establishments ct Kief
and other large citiea In the dominions Of
the czar have been closed by the police, the
doors locked and sealed, and the employees
elected. Moreover, steps are now being
taken to put stop to the facilities which
the societies have hitherto enjoyed In the
exercise of their labors and In the extension
of the sphere of their operations.
Some interesting observations of oosmi-
cal nature are announced ss having been
made by n. Frye, the well known hydro
graphical engineer who, after long years of
patient study. has calculated the atmos-
pheric expansions and dspressions which
coincide with spring and nesp tides. he
declares that there have been cases In
which air WAS moved in waves 1873 yards
high, and In places where the bArometrical
pressure was seven tenths of an inch, Of
six and one-half miles, near the upper sur
face of the earth's atmosphere condensa-
ton and dilalations Of this magnitude being
frequent; the incandescent and auid mat
ter under the esrth's crust 10 found to act
In concert with the air and sea at the full
of the moon. This conclusion is based
upon the data of observations made stimuli
taneously at different and widely distant
geographical points, the fact bsing estab-
lIshed that the earth rises and falls like the
ocean and the atmosphere.
The recent demonstration In Budapest
In favor of the ecclesiastical policy Of the
government is said to have been one of the
rlost remarkable manifestations Of popular
feeling seen upon the continent In recent
times. There was an open air meeting OF
no less than 100. 600 persons without any
disturbance or disorder, and the crowds
marched through the town In procession
without the assistance or interference Of
the police authorities. Dsputstions num-
bering 70, 900 persons were present from
the provinces. Among the promoters were
members of the Hungarian aristocratic
families of Andrsssy. Szschspyi. zchy,
Palffy, Karofyi, Nopasa and others, and
the educated middle classes, together with
great proportion of the peasAntry, were
represented. There was no distinction OF
party or of religion. The enthusissm in
favor of the government reforms was unan-
imous, and Was accompanied by marked
display of loyalty to the king. The meet
ing was held to dispose Of all efforts that
have been made by the Ultramontane press
to represent the ecclesiastical policy Of the
government as unpopular and Of artificial
origin. In the Reichstsg Count Theodore
Andrassy handed the president the resolu-
tions adopted at the demonstration amid
the applause of the whole house.
The new French divorce lawis not work
Ing as we'll as It was expected to, according
to London Truth. which says: The divorce
law Is killing society. No woman with
husband worth keeping can now endure
the idea of letting another person Of her
sex who 10 at all attractive speak to him.
Enterprising and dowerlsss girls marry
any one at all who can introduce them to
rich men from among whom they can,
after skillful management and intrigue,
secure husbands. A girl with q great for
tune is pretty certain after marriage to
get discontented with her matrimonial lot.
and to look out for some one who suits her
fancy better. There can be no peace or
quietness under suoh circumstances. The
divorce suit Is cftsn preceded by an en-
gagement. Curiously enough, French
widows are not inclined to marry . second
time; but the divorces 10 nearly always In
haste to rsmarry. When children are
young they do not object to this. The
daughter of N. Barbe, the minister, who
received SOC, 900 francs from the Panama
company, repudiated her husband to take
another. When her little son heard Of her
second engagement he clapped his hands
for Joy, and cried: "How delightful
shall now have two pspas instead of one
to bring me cakes and take me to the cir
Gus" Given the French character, divorce
made easy seems to me an evil.
