ta," which is a powerful appeal for justice
to Jews, written in the form OF tascinat-
ing and exciting novel dealing with the in
tr1cacies of Russian political intrigue.
Celia has run through 20 editions and
has been translated into German, French,
Russian, Dutch and hungarian, so that a
total of over 1000, 600 copies have been
circulated throughout Europe. Another
book, with the striking title Jesus Chris
tianity Interpreted by Jewess, was an
appeal to the churches of Europe on be-
half of prosecuted Jews. The German
emperor accepted copies of both these
books and expressed his pleasure at hay
ing read them. In addition to these books,
Miss Doree has written several manlfes-
toes in simple impressive language, which
have been circulated by millions among
the common people of all European coun-
tries. Just at present Miss Doree is busy
experimenting the distribution of mani
festo to European Christians, recalling
that Christmas is a time of peace and
good will towards all men, and pointing
out that the persecution of Jews is IN
compatible with the Christian idea of
Christmas. This manifesto is being dis
tributed by willing helpers at the doors
of churches in over 500 European cities.
The next step in the campaign will be
the delivery of addresses before public
meetings in the principal towns of Ger
many. The leading citizens of Hamburg,
Frankfort -on-M Main and other German
towns have invited Miss Doree to address
meetings arranged by them, promising
packed audiences in the largest halls at
their disposal. When Germany has been
covered, Miss Doree, who is a brilliant
linguist, will continue her oratorical cam
paign in other European countries.

Bloodhounds Not Ferocious,
From Chambers Journal.


1t is wholly mistake to suppose that
bloodhounds are averse to their work of
man tracking, or are in any sense feroci-
Gus. AS a matter of fact, indeed, they
have remarkable natural qualifications for
the work of man hunting, for not only have
they great speed, great seeming powers
and, unlike the foXhound, strong persever-
ance on an original line, but they have a
natural enjoyment of the pursuit of man.
Lord Cardigan suggests that this last lean
ing of theirs has been transmitted to them
through long line of criminal hunting
ancestors, and most people who have seen
bloodhounds frequently at work find it
hard to give more reasonable explana ton
of the zest they throw into the chase
Luckily, this Zest does not degenerate
into license, and although popular manuals
may tell US that the only chance for man
or beast hunted by them is to take to the
water-to start to jump three or four feet
off the waters edge, and to leap far and
fairly In it does not follow that they will
tear their prey limb from limb when he is
caught. No. The tracking once at an end,
they take little interest in the object Of it,
save to sniff him to assure themselves that
they have got the right man.

Then you've never stayed downtown to

They had found the shelter of the elevated

CHEMISTRY's DOMAIN.
The Likelihood That This Science is but
a Handmade of Electricity.

From Electricity.
A review of the facts leads us to the be-
lief that all forms of matter are ineXtri-
cably associated with static electricity;
that a modification in the physical confor-
nation of a mass of matter is due to cleo
trical changes which give rise TO many of
the effects familiar to laymen and scientists
alike. In addition, the chemical changes
which occur, in the form of violent reac-
tons or slow processes of decomposition.
are inherently electrical in character, and
in many instances, where scientific analysis
has paved the way might be anticipated in
a purely mathematical and electrical man
ner Chemistry, then, is becoming a sub
ject in which new atom IS taking the
place of the old. The atom of Dalton is
being replaced by center of electrical en-
ergy in a state of intense rotation and vi
bration.
In fact, instead of the old atom we are
face to face with an nffnitesimal planetary
system. That which has hitherto been re-
garded as merely matter now appears as
identical with electricity. We have Ram
say CroolSes, Van THoff and Arrhenius
the greatest chemists and electro-chemists
in the world, to point out on the scientific
horizon the new world of chemistry, toward
which the tide of thought is rapidly setting.
To consider a charge of electricity concen-
trated on a point of matter of the most
minute proportions is to realize that CEN
ter of electrical attraction has been created
to which the action of a pith ball to a
charged glass rod is light and delicate
as the down on butterfiy's wing. Charges
thus concentrated become centers of DOW
erful attractive forces, and the simplest eX-
periments in chemistry have thus far
strongly proven that chemical affinity and
valency, the last particularly are due to
just such a condition of Enthusiastically
associated with the atoms, This, then,
brings us back to our original question in
which we ask: Is chemistry a department
of electricity?

going to take that good advice of yours and
marry Helene"
James Grey took fresh grip on his glass,
and it was well that Mrs Ormesby did not
know how close her precious heirloom had
come to destruction He spoke as one in
a dream.
ITO the New Year happiness of the future
Mrs. Lynde! May it never wane"'
He was picking up his gloves and cane.
Mrs. Ormesby stepped to his side.
Helene told me of your kind interest in
her work. but. of course everything IS
changed now, and 1t was not necessary for
you to explain your plan for her future.
But / thank you Just the same. She will
rot return to the office if you can fill ner
place. My brother will assist us-and ]
prefer that she should not be seen again
in the offices with which her future hus-
band is connected. 1 feel sure you will
appreciate my feelings in the matter
Most assuredly." answered Mr.. Grey,
land / congratulate you upon your good
judgment"
He offered his hand to Helene and look
ed long and earnestly into her face. Some
thing he read in her eyes. perhaps the
tenderly happy light which illuminated even
his narrow viewpoint, told him that had
he spoken the day before. 1t would no,
have been different!

the light at the left hand for day time or
evening.
On the other. side is a moderate-sized
library table of walnut, strong and firm,
standing on four corner legs, with a deep
drawer for writing supplies in quantity.
The Table Cover.
The top of this is covered with brocade
in dull tones of several colors edged with a
wide metallic bronze braid, and on top are
writing utensils of silver, with capacious
paper holders, letter basket and all the
conveniences of well-appointed writing
table.
There is nothing else except a book rack
OF small, choice volumes and a small grow
ing fern in a silver jardiniere.
There is a light desk chair of walnut,
which can be pushed well under the table
when not in use, and so keep the passage
to the window clear.
An odd little walnut table, with sloping
top. What was called, 1 think, ''diction-
airy stand" when 1T was purchased in the
seventies fills the space between the writ
ing table and parlor door, and holds a
portfolio of interesting old prints. Its shelf
below bears an old silver basket a con-
venient receptacle for cards and invita-
tions.
A Nanon Persian rug all but fills the
space from the window seat to the end
book case, the only rug in the room.
l omitted to say that on the fourth side
of the room, over the writing table, a
Single smell runs tne WnOle- length, from
window book case to parlor door, at the
height of the highest on the other three
sides.
A China Border.
1t goes without saying that the shelves
at end of the room are filled with books,
except the top one, as is also the one shelf
running lengthwise on the cabinet side of
the room, but the top shelf on all four sides
is filled with collection of old blue china.
More interesting than valuable perhaps,
but not without it's choice bits either.
1t had been hard to find a fitting place for
its display until this happy thought was
put in execution, but nine-inch shelf can
hold good many pieces, and the green
background is perfect.
Over the shelves nothing is hung except
4 few blue china platters, large and small,
giving character to the shelf collection,
thus everything is high and out of the way,
yet easily reached for inspection or for
cleaning purposes.
Below the shelves on the two available
sides are hung many small pictures, tiny
engravings, colored prints, silhouette or
two, few miniatures, everything of spe-
cial interest, which needs to be closely eX-
amined to be appreciated.
The window has no room for long cur
tains, but valance of green corduroy
hangs at the top, cutting off the high light,
and giving finish, while a shade rolls up
and down to regulate the brightness Of the
southern sunshine.
When one first sees the little room there
is no appearance Of crowding, bYt it is sur
prising what number of books and pieces
of china are housed here, in this compact
way, and with such an attractive appear
ance; it is strictly room for one person,
or at most tete-a-tete, but thus used
quite charming.

Gliding Coaches.
From the London Chronicle.

A curious old proclamation was dated
November 10, 1861 ito repress the excessive
gliding of coaches and chariots, to the great
wasting and expense of gold. This no
doubt arose from the increasing popularity
of Hyde Park, where even the sober Eve
lyn seems to have noticed 1.-The innumerable
appearance of gallants and rich coaches"
The king, however, evaded his own procla-
nation by accepting directly afterwards a
magnificent coach, made in Paris at cost
of 1900 louis from de Grammont; and to
ride in this coach became so coveted a favor
that my lady Castlemaine fell out with sew
eral ladies of the court through her desire
for It, No wonder, after this. that ball
lad of the time sang:
OF all parts Of England Hyde Park hath the name
For coaches and horses and persons Of fame.
