The natives of New Guinea exchange

The Burmese bend low and say:
"Hib! Hib!"
The South Sea islanders rattle each

farewell.
The Cuban would consider his good

In the Philippines the parting bene-

The Russian form of parting saluta-

The Turk will solemnly cross his
hands upon his breast and make pro-

well.

HUNGRY SUpPLICANTS FED.
4 Chicago Hospital and Its singular
Method OF Dispensing
Charity.

Belief in the Divine principle that the
hungry shall be fed has led the sisters
of charity in certain Chicago hospital
to segregate one portion of their build
ing to the reception and comfort of pen
niless wanderers. While this section of
the hospital outwardly resembles
prison, it is comfortably furnished, and
those who enter its portals find hope
and encouragement to continue the bat
tie of life.
For years the sisters were annoyed by
the depredations committed upon their
premises by INDECENT characters. 1t was
this and their desire not to turn the
hungry away that induced them to pre-
pare their haven for the foodless. They
summoned n carpenter and informed
him what they required. His ingenuity
solved the problem, and after few
days work the dining-room for the pen
niless was completed.
The entrance is at the northern end
of the basement. 1t is found usually by
some mysterious sign which the last
applicant has left behind. The hungry
supplicant raps at the grated door, and
is surprised to see it slide back noise
lessly, as if in response to his magic
touch. He hears voice bid him Come
in" Somewhat awed by his quiet re-
ception, he enters the corridor, and
turns to his right. Half dozen steps
carry him to another grated door, which
opens into dimly lighted room. Reas-
sured by the jet of light, he shutiNs
forward and seats himself in an easy
chair at clean, iron-topped table, the
door of the room swinging to and snap
ping behind him. He is prisoner for
the time being, but n kindly voice of a
sweet-faced sister dispels the queer
feeling which came over him when he
observed the resemblance of his quar-
ters to prison.
A lift drops at the side from an upper
floor and the sister, who appears to be
ministering to his wants with mechan-
ical assistance, advises him to help him
self. He inspects the dishes as he trans
fers them to the table, and finds that
he has an excellent meal before him.
Feeling like lord, he sits down and dis
poses of the tempting food. The future
looks more roseate as he finishes ana
arises to replace the empty dishes in the
lift. He hears the door open again, and
passes out, lowly muttering his thanks
in an audible tone to his unseen bene-
factor as he returns to the sunlight

American Diamond DIS.

Occasionally small diamonds have
been found among the ridges of gravel
brought down from the north in the
age of the glaciers and scattered over
the states bordering on the great lakes
Prof. Hobbs, Of the University OF Wis
consin, thinks that these diamonds
came from some place in Canada, and
that by tracing back the lines of ad-
vance of the glaciers the original loca-
tion of the gems may be discovered.
An effort to carry out Prof. Hobbs sug-
gestion is to be made, and Prof. II. l..
Fairchild, of the University OF Roches-
ter; Prof. l. C. Russell, of the univer-
sity of Michigan; Prof. j. p. Iddings,
of the University of Chicago, and Prof.
o. c. Harrington, of the Field Column
bian museum, will cooperate by exam
ining, without charge, suspected gems
found by persons living near the gla-
cial moraines.-Youth's Companion.

The MnlariaI Mosquito.

Nature states that Maj. Ronald Ross,
the leader of the expedition to Sierra
Leone, found that in India the malaria
parasite is borne by the spotted-winged
mosquitoes and not by the common
brindled or gray mosquitoes, and his
recent cable message announced that
malaria on the west coast of Africa
is produced under the same conditions
as in India. There is evidence that the
malaria bearing species only breeds in
small isolated collections of water
which can be easily dissipated, but the
expedition has not yet had time to
verify this point,--Chicago Tribune.

Gently tested as to the percentage of

Thus, says the Mining and Scientific

claimed.

the committee, a tall, gaunt woman,
said aloud: "Well l thought l was

FREE EDUCATION.
Russian Mobiles Are Entitled to Thei r
Schooling at the Cost of the
Government.

The nobility of Russia in each and
every province, who form kind of
corporation in the eyes of the govern
ment with a marshal at its head, are to
be allowed to establish special board
ing houses or homes for those of their
children who attend the middle-class
schools, but quite separate from such
schools.
The government undertakes to pay
the full cost of establishing these in
stitutions, which will come under the
supreme control of the minister of pub
lie instruction, and in which the pu-
pills are to receive board, lodging,
clothes, linen, boots, schoolbooks, pc
cuniary assistance, and, If necessary,
personal help in doing their home les
sons after school hours. The govern
ment also engages to pay half the year
ly cost of supporting them. The prefer
ence in accepting boarders as we'll as
gratuitous maintenance will be given
to the children whose fathers hold any
official post in the corporation of their
class or in the zemstvos, or who have
formerly held such post for not less
period than nine years. The nobility are
also granted the right of founding
scholarships for their boys in the higher
and intermediary establishments of ed
ucation, for which the government like
wise provides half the necessary funds.
At the same time an annual sum of 1885,
$50 roubles will be paid out of the i'm
perial exchequer for the free educa-
ton of AIS boys in two of the new mil
itary cadet schools.
This curious piece of class legislation
will give the landed nobility of Russia
a far cheaper education for their chill
dren than any that is put in the way OF
the other antiquated social categories
into which the Russian population is
still divided.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Wave Clouds.

The atmospheric ocean surrounding
he earth is frequently disturbed by
gigantic waves, which are invisible ex-
cept when they carry parts of the air,
charged with moisture, up into colder
atmospheric stratum where sudden
condensation occurs. In this manner,
long, parallel lines of clouds sometimes
make their appearance at a great
height, marking the crests of ripple
Of air waves, running miles above our
