According to L,'lnd\utrit Paritienru a laandryman in the vicinity of Paris baa discovered a very Ligeniooa method o( cleaning linen witboat soap. He ases no •oap or lye, nor chlorine, but replaces these «ab«tances by boiled potatoes, with which he rabs the lineQ. This carioas proces). it appears, is much superior to ihoae hitherto empbyed, and the worst soiled cotton. or silk, cleaned by this method, are made whiter thau they could be by the use of an An Klartric Storm, While off the banks of Newfoundland, (he White Star steamship Adriatic, re oently arrived in New York, encountered an electric storm. For three- juarters of an hour there was a very lively lime, which was not folly appreciated, however, until the storm bad passed over. There had been a heavy fog all the morning, with the wind from the south, and for some time be- fore the storm it had been raining. Sud- denly the air turned warm, and for three- quarters of an hour there was a remarkable display of lightning, with almost incessant thunder, which was peculiarly terrifying to the passengers. What startled the sailors most, however, was the auwonled warmth. It had been cold and raw all the morning, but as soon as the ship struck the storm the air was like a muKgy day in midsum- mer. An offi'.:er on Saturday said that it seemed as though a pail of hot water had been dashed ou the deck, aa the rain splashed up on bis hands. The vessel itself was not anected by the Sturm, but even the officers were apprehensive until it bad passed ever. m Result uf FiMt TraTeUlns. A correspondent uf the London Tinui, writing on the subject of the daily race between the two fast English trains to the north, says : " There is one paint of which I have seen no notice takenâ€" the increased wear and tear mentally and bodily of the driver and stoker on these special trains. A friend of one of the drivers told me that he saw a marked effect on his apparent health. The driver told him bis anxiety was greatly increased. On one occasion his stoker, who had gone along the engine to oil a valve, became paraly/ied with fear, so that be could not move forward or backwards. The driver had to leave his place and follow his stoker and seize his hand, and so they regained their standing plaoe. The distances run are so great and the pace so rapid that any oiling, etc., is done with increased risk. The force of the wind is 80 great that when the stoker creeps along the foot plate alongside the engine he has to hold by the rail like grim death, and has been carried off his feet." A .v£w rifle introdacei in the British army baa given some aatonisbing results, as, for instance, bitting a target 104 times out of 6'29 shots, at a distance of '2,800 yards, or aooietbing more than a mile and a half.

Taz native Hawaiiana are said to be disappearing very rapidly, and it will not be long before the race ia extinct. Their lantiuage ia atill quite generally spoken, bat as English is the langoage of the court the native dialect ia bound to fall into deca- dence. People who went to laugh at George Francis Train when be lectured in New York the other night for the benefit of the yellow fever aufferers felt the tears coming into their eyea while he i^tive bis reminia. cences of the epidemic in New Orleans, that carried jS his father, mother and three sisters. Pi'.ixcE.i.-i Sophie, the young sister of the German Emperor, and the prospective bride of Constantine, Duke of Sparta, the heir to the Greek throne, ia not pretty, but attractive.

TuE New York Tirrut says that " the farm wife haa been the drawer of water the hewer of woodâ€" in actual fact, very oftenâ€" and the aervant of all, even of the hired man . to cook, mend and waab for him, to wail npon him and to do all this at limea for several of them." She ia indeed a treasure, and cannot be too highly valued. PsoKEiwoB Dcss, in unveiling the bust of Hugh Miller in the Wallace monament, ex- pressed the conviction that the apprecia- tion of the grandeur of Miller's struggle against early hardships which character- ized his life ia more and more deepening, and so, too, in regard to his word as a literary m^n, a pablicisi and a man of science. A coMui.-t.-'ioN of the British Association which has for some time past been discuss- ing the matter of the liquor traffic among the native races has announced that in li^o Holland sent to Africa 1,09^,146 gallons of spirits and in 14d6 the city of Boston alone sent 737,650 gallons of rum.

Edwabd Pick, a celebrated English teacher of memory, baa arrived at New York, where he will enter the field against Prof. Loisette. Dr. Pick sayethal the way to remember anything is to have it im- preaa the mind strongly and pleasantly at first. We have our doubts about this. Many a man forgets an appointment to dioe with a friend, but no man ever yet forgot the date set for bis hanging. Bo,-,A Wiss, a yoang girl of Meridan, Miss., had 5 cents given her aa a joke for a birthday present. She bought a yard of calico with it and made a sanbonnet, which she sold tor -40 cents. This she invested in more calico, made it up, sold the garments and reinvested the capital until she had $10. With this she boaght potatoes, planted them, paid for the cultivation of her crop, for gathering and carting to town, and made $50 clean profit, KoBEKT GvBBETT, the onoe envied heir to the Baltimore A Ohio Railroad, ia dying of softening of the brain. His death is not far off, as the disease ia making switi pro. gresa. Six powerful attendants are re- quired to hold him when his violent attacks come, and then his blood-curdling shrieks frighten almost the whole village cf King wood, N. J. It is now well understood that the peculiar financial freaks by which he attracted the attention of the country a year or so ago were the operations of a diseased mind. CoFS'EE is a handy and harm less disinfec- tant. Experiments have been made in Paris to prove this. A quantity of meat was hung up in a closed room until decom- posed, and then a chafing-dish was intro- anced and 500 grammes of coffee thrown on the fire. In a tew minutes the room was completely disinfected. In another room sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia were developed, and ninety grammes of coffee destroyed the smell in about half a minute. It ia also stated that coffee des- troys the smell of musk, castoerum, and aasafoetida. It waa inJane. 1841, th»t the survivors of the Greely Arctic expedition were rescued and only now has Congress voted to those rescued men money-commutation of fuel and quarters and extra-duty pay.

A CABLK correspondent reports that hypnotism has. for the first time, become an instrument in the hands of French jnstice.

Howard, cf Chicago, who haa charge of one end of the pipe Una recently laid from Lima, C, to Chicago, says that it has not been officially deter- mined to extend the line to Milwaiikee, the consumption there not being great enough to warrant it. There ia so large a demand for fuel oil in Northern Michigan and Wis- consin mines that the companv intend to run a line of tank steamers to Dalatb, Ash- land and other lake porta. A .'i-iiTOB to the Valley of the Yosamits iu California, says that one important fact to be observed there, but which la never mentioned in the guidebooks and seldom in newspaper correspondence, is that the women visitors who explore the place to any extent do so on horseback and ride astride. The ateepa are so abrapt that a woman who attempts them perched un. naturally on one aide of a bi^aitt is sure to come to grief, and coming to grief on moan- tain trails where the precipices are a mile high ia a matter of life and death. Women must either leave the glories of the Yoae- mite unseen or they must emplov all the advantagea which nature haa given them. And really, when you come to think of it, why shouldn't women ride aalride aa well as men .' Id there any reason againat it except conventional custom ? If there ia any other reason, what is it ? Among the Plaina Indiana and other eqaeatrian peoples, women nde the same aa men, and never think of riding any other way. VlndtcatlDK Himself. " I hear you are going to marry again. Smith?'

Bamea, the evangelist, haa recently decided that Jehovah never intended the human race should make food of the animal kingdem, and has oegun a craaade against beef aalera. Rev. Walter Laidlaw, President of the Albany County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children at West Tiey, N.Y., IS a nephew of Rev. Dr. LaiJlaw, of this city. An illuatration of Western dash and daring is found in the fact that the recent session of the Kansas Methodist Protestant Conference was held in a village in which there was but one Methodist Protestant family and no church of their own, and yet it was well entertained. There ia a worthy office-bearer la St. A.ndrew'8 Church, Woolwich, who ia determined to teac^ the rising generation how to give. As he carries round the col- lection plate he supplies with pence the children who have not come prepared fur the occasion. The vicarage of Halifax, which is ii: the gift of the Crown, is now at the disposal of the Government. The income of the vicar of that famoua Yorkshire town is t:'2,0OO per annum, and he has in bis gift over thirty livings, averaging over iiSOO a year each. There is truth in the remark that a bag, if em^ity, hangs loosely by its siring, but the more there ia put in it the cloaer is the mouth drawn and the harder is it to get anything out. So, often, aa men have more means to give, it is more difiicalt to obtain money from them. â€" Christian In- â- {uircr. The Mendlog of Slarrlage. In an ideal state, when all the people were honorable, the marriage contract might perhaps be safely abandoned, and " unions of affection " aubatitnted lor it. Bat, aa things are, the outcome of the pr>po3ed change would probably be one from which every person of pure mind would shrink in abhorrence. If this battle has really got to be fought, it ia well that all who have regard for the sanctity of home life should te^ up their position without loss of time, nid follow Miss Chap- man in declaring that the State cannot afford, by giving too great facilities for divorce, t > relieve the few who make un- happv marriages at the e.xpense of the majority who make happy ones. It may well, however, institute such reforma of the marriage tie as she points out. In the matters of the guardianship of children, and of the conditions under which divorce is now granted, reason and common sense dictate that the woman should be given the same rights as the man. M.arriat;es for monev ahouM be regarded as " relics of savagerv." Children of both sexes should be brought up together, and fuller oppor- tunities given for young people to know one another before betrothal.
