Polish Jehus.

To drive slowly over cobblestones is
not a JOY, but to drive four Russian
horses at gallop over cobblestones was
something to make you bite your tongue
and to break your teeth and to shake
your very soul from its socket, | most
solemnly assure you it was anything
but simple drive to one fresh from the
asphalt of Paris. for, like Jehu, they
drove furiously. Their horses are all
wild, runaway beasts, and they drive
them at an uneven gallop resembling
the gait of our fire. engine horses at
home, except that ours go more slowly
Sometimes the horses fall down as
they drive across country, or stop only
for stone walls or moats. The carriages
must be built of iron. for the front
wheels drop few feet into burrow
every now and then, and at such times
an unwary American is liable to be
pitched over the coachman' head
Hold on with both hands shut your
eyes, and keep your tongue from be-
tween your teeth, would be my instruc-
lions to one about to "take drive in

suffering greatly at the hands Of the

This was meager enough, but the

"a savage landor got into St. Peters
burg yesterday, and the people of the

difficulty the beast, which came from
Tibet, was captured, taken to a re-
mote place and there dispatched. 1t is
said that this is the first animal of the
sort ever seen in Russia. How he reach

retrihed Water,

That beautiful transparent stone call
ed Tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their
grandest edifices, consists of the petri-
fed water of ponds in certain parts of
the country. This petritication may be
traced from its commencement to its
termination. In one part the water is
clear, in second it appears thicker and
stagnant, in a third quite black, and in
its last stage it is white like frost.
When the operation is complete a
stone thrown on its surface makes no
impression, and one may walk over it
without wetting ones shoes. The sub
stance thus produced is brittle and
transparent. and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper color
So much is this marble. which may be
cut into large slabs, looked upon as a
luxury that none but the king, his sons
and persons especially privileged are
permitted to take it.

such conditions, she says, delicate wo-
men can hardly exist while children

concludes as follows:
"Chief Justice Chambers has been

be person singularly devoid of imag-
nation if he never pictured to himself
the scenes being enacted in those bonn
barded villages-the exodus of panic
