From the Boston Transcript.
A house at Chamounix, built on what
must assuredly be termed the most mod
ern principles of construction, is claimed
to possess, as its most remarkable feature,
a constant temperature, In addition to its
strength, durability, comfort and beauty.
The builder, NJ. Caron, first put up a frame
of steel water-tubing, allowing continuous
circulation of stream Of water, and
around this frame the house was put up,
the popularity being that all floors and
ceilings are crossed and recrossed by the
through the horizontal tubes first, that
through the vertical tubes until all have
been similarly treated. In summer, spring
water, fresh as is only the water Of the
snow.capped Alps, circuiates under pres
sure through the network Of tubes. cools
off the walls and. after having run it's
course, flows off considerably warmer than
when it entered. But in its course it has
absorbed much heat. which 1t carries
away. During the long and severe winter
the water. entering through the basement,
is first heated to nearly 100 degrees. and
then forced through the tubing. OF course,
much of the heat is left all over the house,
and at the outlet the temperature Of the
water Is about forty degrees, and the
speed of the circulation of water can be
regulated SO as to allow the fixing Of a
certain temperature for the house. which is
equal throughout The house measures
about 5000 cubic yards, and weighs 100
tons.

Cufthness Superstitions.

From the Scottish Review.
A method much in vogue at one time of
ascertaining whether a sickness would prove
fatal was to dig two holes in the ground,
one called the quick grave, the other the
dead hole. The sufferer was then placed
between the two, and the hole toward
which he turned indicated what would be
the outcome of his malady. Sometimes a
piece of rock was broken over ibe head of
a person whose last agonies were painful
alike to himself and to those who witnessed
sick man would thus be broken and his
relesse FASTENED. Windows and doors are
always thrown wide open In order that the
departing spirit may have free egress from
the he use, and escape from the evil ones
that hover around eager to enthrall his
soul
During the interval between death and
burial hens and cats were kept carefully
shut up; a person meeting these animals
at such juncture was doomed to blindness
in the future. Moreover, unless a stream
divided the two houses. farmers frequently
RETAINED from yoktng their oxen or horses
before the body Was laid under the turf
of truth" Many women preserved with
the greatest reverence their bridal attire
to cover them in the coffin. Bread and water
were placed in the chamber of death, for
during the night prior to the burial the
spirit of the departed one came to partake
Of them. Stillborn children and little ones
who had not been blessed by the minister
were buried before sunrise In this way
their admission to the land Of promise was
assured. Not to observe the practice was
to destine the souls Of these BARNS to wan
der homeless and oisconsolate.
The fate of the suicide is iamentabie. His
body cannot rest in the kirkyard, for it
would faint the souls of those who lie
therein; frequently he was buried in lone
dixie which separated two lairds estates,
and passers-by were expected to cast a
pebble a. the rude stone which marked the
place.
