GENERAL MISCELLANY.
Spontaneous Combustion,

Spontaneous combustion may be defined
as the ignition of inflammable substances
without the application of fire or without
obvious cause of increase of temperature
Occurrences of this sort, formerly consid-
cred as being very mysterious, are now ex-
planned by the well understood liability Of
certain substances to undergo chemical
changes which develop sufficient heat to
set them on fire. One of the great causes
of the spontaneous origin of fires in fac
tories, drug stores, etc. is the exposure OF
fixed oils When exposed to light and air,
these oils are disposed to oxidize. When
undergoing oXidization, they rapidly alb
sorb oxygen and give off carbonic acid gas
and hydrogen, which soon fires any in
flammable substance through which the
oil may be diffused
Fires of this character may be illustrated
by reference to cotton waste and tow,
mixed with oil, used in lubricating ma
chinery, and which, if allowed to accumu-
late in heaps is as dangerous as "A lighted
cigar in "a powder mill The larger the
heap of such rubbish the greater the dan
ger incurred, on account Of the extra liza
bility to accumulate heat. Packages Of
silks which have been charged oiled
to increase Weight-oftcn cause mysterious
railway, steamship and warehouse fires by
oxidation of the oils with which they
have been saturated. Fire in waste heaps
at coal mines is another form of spontane-
Gus combustion, the cause in this case to
be looked for in the oXidization of the iron
and sulphur particles found in the COAL

The Fashionable Woman Of I7O5.

That the ultra fashionable London WON
an has not materially changed in the course
of "a century, says London paper, seems
clearly proved by "a curious extract from
The Lady's Monthly Magazine of 1875,
which is written In the style of the Prov
cribs rs follows
Who shall describe woman of fashion,
Her value is only in her jewels.
She scckcth powders and paint, and with

homcly or cheaply purchased plcasoth her.
She cOnsidcrcth a piece of china ana

She girdcth not her body with modest

cate.
She maketh her house the resort of gam
blcrs. Her candles burn and give light to
evil doings.
Sho laycth her hands on the cards Yea
eagerly her hand dividcth the pool.
She makcth card purses and delivere h

She opcneth her mouth to utter evil

Fortune, birth and beauty might have
raised her above all others, but she is the
child Of folly.
Her conduct should therefore have made
her pattern for all women, and her works
would have praised her in the gates.

The Women OF Japan.

While japanese women do not have their
feet compressed and are not compelled t.

very little to say about their own dcstinics
They are expected to be womanly-kind
gentle, pretty Obedient and useful-but
from birth to burial they are subject to II

the women of the western world. The ex.
pericnce of woman in Japan is summed
up in the word obedience" They have
phrase here which describes the history of
all women. 1t is ''the three obcdicncrs"
obedience when unmarried to II father
obedience when married to husband
obedience when widowed to n son--and
when n woman dies she is forgotten
There are no shrincs or tablets erected
to the memory of the good mothers AID
wives and daughters of Japan for tho peo-

There are seven causes according to

Fidelity of Woman.

The obligation of fidelity will be as nat
ural to woman in the timo to como Us it
was in the old days because human nature
is stronger than any laws we may make to
change it., and the instructive feeling of
woman, like dog, is hdolity-hdelty ia
the man she loves, the man to whom she
has given herself. Education and modern
influences may modify for time the bent
of her life, and may cause some women to
break away and embark on other lines and
ways of living but the prodigals will re-
turn home, finding out the hollowness and
the impossibility of the career they pre-.
pared for themselves
From physical causes, women cannot
lead the same lives as mon, do what they
may, and as nature in her wisdom, has
placed such restrictions on them, they will
recognize, after II time their limitations,
and be content to admit that they have
been worsted in the unequal struggle

HEAVY rain storms last week in the prov

they all regarded her form as remarkably

good model for trying on gGrments in

THE six-story wool warehouse OF G. j.
Webb & Co. of Philadelphia was destroyed
by fire last week. Loss 500, 900; fully in

THE Pacific Hotel. the Jewish Synagogue
and the Crescent Hotel at Hot Springs,
Ark, were burned last week. The loss was
heavy; partially covered by insurance.
A SPECIAL train on the New York Cen
trail railroad, last week, drawn by engine

Six miners were instantly killed and sew

MICHAEL FRANCIS of Bismarck, N. D.,
forwarded last week to Mrs. Elizabeth B.
Custer, widow Of General George A. Custer,
q check for 81 800, which he found in the
street last February and has since retained,
not knowing what to do with it. The check
is payable to General Custer, is dated June
%, 1876, and is signed by B. L. Smith, as
sistant paymaster of the army. The check
bears no evidence of having been paid. 1t
is thought to be remittance on account of
salary from the war department TO General
Custer. The date of the check and the date
upon which General Custer was killed in
the massacre Of the Little Big Horn are
identical.
HoKE SMITH, secretary of the interior,
handed down decision, last week, by
which the state Of Illinois will come into
possession of more than 90 900 acres of land
in Lake county The value of this land at
moderate estimate is between So 900 900
and S4,000000. Should the courts uphold
the claims of the state, in accordance with
the views of Secretary Smith, hundreds of
prosperous farmers in Lake county will be
ruined Secretary Smith holds that a GER
tain United States survey of 1889 was in
valid and irregular He declares that the
fact that much of the land in question has
been patented to private individuals does
not annul the states right to proceed against
these individuals in the courts for possess
sion. Under this ruling the legal officers of
the state government will proceed against
the present holders of the land in the Illinois
court, unless some compromise shall be eff
fected. The land involved, which was
originally covered with water, now com
prises fine summer resort property along
the Fox river and contributory lakes, as
well as many improved farms.
