Unfeeling Chinese.

A typical scene in a ManchuIian vii
lage is thus described by correspond
Ont OF the London News:
''That afternoon we pulled up near
three shanties on a woodside, and a
gang Of Chinese all squabbling and
making noises like dogs growing over
bones, fought with one another to get
on a platform where a boiler was
chained. There was a scuffle. one
Chinese was pushed backward and
fell. His head hit the metal and
cracked like a nut He gave a wriggle
and died. The Russians who saw the
accident were affected. The Chinese
laughed. He lay for an hour In the
sun until undid his sleeping rug and
spread 1t over his face. He was soon
forgotten. A Chinese threw some hot
water over a growing dog and made
II howl At this there were shrieks OF
mirth.
"The engine pulled and groaned and
jerked the wagons into progress. The
last saw Of this spot was two China
men pitching mud at the same dog TO
keep it from shifting at the body OF the
dead"

The herdsman distinguishes cattle and

ants partially accomplish this result.

Franks of Nature.

A shower of a remarkable character
occurred in Sicily on April "a, 1871. On
he morning Of that day every exposed
place within an extensive district was
found covered with a gray water
which, being evaporated. left deposit
nearly a quarter Of an inch In thick
ness. 1t was determined that this solid
matter must have come from Mount
Etna. 1t is certain that vast quanti-
ties Of solid substances are constantly
afloat in the atmosphere. The sunsets
all over the world are redder to this
day on account Of the dust from the
mighty eruption in the strait Of Sunda
years ago, which has not yet entirely
settled.
