The formation of hail through elec trical action, according to the new the ory of Sig. Marangoni, is a very inter esting, and even wonderful, process. The wind draws out a cloud into a long, narrow strip. In that form, owing to the great amount of surface exposed to the air, tho cloud evaporates very rap idly, and rapid evaporation produces intense cold. Dry particles of snow are then formed, and these, by friction with the water drops, quickly become charged with negative electricity. But the water-drops themselves carry positive electricity, and since negative attracts positive, a film of water is formed upon each snow particle and is instantly frozen into a layer of ice. At this thickness its outer surface re mains moist, the water not freezing bo rapidly there, whereupon the electrical charge changes from negative to posi- ive, and the particle is repelled by the water-drops and driven to the outer parts of the cloud. Here the increased cold covers it with snow again, and friction charges it anew with negative electricity. ltepulsion is now once more chancred for attraction, and the particle rushes back into the cloud, receiving upon its surface another film of water, which is turned into a second ice laver. Uhus, the growing hailstone darts zigzag through the cloud, piling up its alternate layers of snow and ice, until gravitation gains control and sends it, with a jingling crowd of its fellows. spinning to the ground. REPRODUCTION IN MICROBES Two Million Indlviduala From a 81ngl Specimen, The old line of pseudo scientists, the superstitious, self-styled "scholars" of the early part of this and the latter part of the eighteenth century, be' lieved that filth would breed microbes, oui, as ine aosuru idea 01 "spon taneous generation" has long since been exploded, it will not be discussed in this "note," which is solely intended to explain the manner ia which mt crobes multiply. There are several species of these minute creatures and they have various ways of reproducing their species, but the most common is what the investigators term "repro duction by fissure." If, with a strong microscope, we carefully watch a mi crobe for a short time we see a "con atnction" appearing on each side in the center of the body. This soon hhows itself in the shape of a line across, and then, all of a sudden, the adcrobe separates in the middle and Im'IkiIiI, we huve two in place of one Lueh of these rapidly increases in size until they are os large as the original when the miracle of the side spots and transverse line appears and in place of two tiiicrolM-a we have four. Ity thia wonderful plan of reproduction one increases to two, two to four, four to eight and eight to blxtcen until within the space of live hours we have two million wiggling individuals from a single specimen.

A Chaperon Gives Rome Interesting Ob- aervatlona Upon the Workings of the Tender Passion In Young Girls of To-Day. 'You see," said the chaperon of a quartette of lively girls at Long Branch, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, there are now three kinds of court ingthe antique, the progressive and the ephemeral. Odd, isn't it, wHere the heart is concerned? Both the an tique and the ephemeral kind are found among the old girls and boys and the debutantes, while the progressive sort is confined mostly to those who have been in society a half dozen sea sons or less. The antique is the kind which has for its password one life, one love. The ephemeral lends to the fancy of the hour without further reflection. The progressive is one with which we have to deal in answering the query: 'Where are the old favorities, and why are the younger set so popular?' "It is most natural that the matured bachelor and the rosebud should enjoy each other's society. This is epheme ral, no responsibility, no care: but the rosebud has a decided advantage over her courtly gallant; for, while she is. becoming skillful in the use of Cupid's weapons, he is losing time and ground and some day will awaken to the truth that he is growing old, bald and ridic ulous. "What does the young girl see in her old escort? Mostly attention, which is very flattering to her in her first season out. And the bachelor what does he Bee in her? lie is lonely. The women of his Bet have disappeared somewhere, and he is willing to buy candy, kiss lap dogs, do unything to be entertained and entertaining. In this capacity the bachelor is a most useful member of society. He has even been known to walk around with grandmamma and to carry the mar ried sister's baby and luggage to the train. "Progressive courtship is curious. When a young woman begins to enter tain serious thoughts of her future, whether in choosing a profession, a business or a husband, she rises above driftwood and marks a tree that will shelter her. Her time, also, is a con sideration. She cannot waste years dallying with an old beau, a perennial. "These perennials are many of them good souls, nice for escorts, but not up to date enough for ideal husbands. No t the marriageable women, tbos . who can preside with dignity over neat homes the belles, in short, of past seasons leave the ranks and form new ties. "When a young woman becomes in different to parties, likes distant friends, protracted visits and can't be located, keep a sharp lookout among the marriage notices. The out-of-town men secure most of the home prizes. The onlv chance for hotmj bachelors is to emulate the example of the girls that is, to go out of town, too, where they are Dot known as everlastings. "Suppose, however, that they can not give up the old favorites; suppose that there ia a great tugging at the heart when they think of losing them In such cases, if the men value their happiness and wish to wager on their chances, they truat become apecialihta In love and ply their skill increasingly aa the summer acaaon approaches. Good by, sweetheart!' If aald Idly, will be detected by no one more quickly than by tjic young lady herself, and the chance will be greatly in favor ol that London, Philadelphia or Haiti more man."

I selected such as met the requirements, which are that they must be bays and grays, fifteen hands high and upward, and from four to eight years old. These were passed upon by the gov ernment officials, and, if found satis factory, were accepted. They were purchased at a very low price, as the sellers had but little money, and were anxious to dispose of their stock. The animals bought are of fine class, and especially suited for cavalry purposes. The lowness of the cost of horses this year may be attributed to the small demand, which is insignificant when ompared with the supply. Never be fore during the fifteen years or so that have been inspecting horses for the government have I seen times so dull in the stock regions, or the stock deal ers so anxious to sell their animals at a small price. The small demand is, of course, due to the supplanting of horse cars by electric and cable railways, the shutting down of logging camps and lumber industries on I'uget sound, and the general dullness of trade. In Port land cars which would require thirty five hundred horses are operated bv cable and electricity. Then the freight cars operated on these steel railways have shut out trucks and delivery wagons on which a large number of horses were used." I He bPARhOW AND THE CLOCK. Strange Story Told at the Parla Poly, technic School. A French paper tells the following Rtrange story of a sparrow and the clock at the Polytechnic school of Paris: In 1819 the Swedish scientist, Ber- zclius, during his stay in PariB, went to the school to make some experi ments in physics and chemistry before the pupils. To show the necessity of air in the respiration ot animals he placed a sparrow under the receiver of the air pump and created a vacuum. At the moment when the bird was about to die for want of oxvircn, the ry of "Mercy! Mercy!" echoed from all ddeB of the amphitheater. Bcrzclius acquiesced In' the decision of hla hu mane audience and released the bird, which flew at once out of the hall. After that day a strange thing hap pened and kept on happening. Kvcry edncsdiiy and Sunday, at the moment when the great hand of tho clock was within 011c minute of ten, and would in ixty seconds mark the fatal hour of leaving tliti playground and entering ichool, an obstacle seemed to stop it, 1 in 1 the astonished doorkeeper noticed that this lust minute had an Inconceiv able length. The fact was noted again and again, nnd a watch wiih net to discover the misc. Then II was ascertained thut the happy delay was caused by a spar row which, at the prceihc aecond, hud lighted on the hand of the clock.

Home and family means as much to him as it does to the resident of any other city under the sun. The French mother is not only a cook par excellence, but a perfect type of housekeeper. By nature she is quick, and she accomplishes much more with less exertion than does her English sister. The education of her children is as a gospel to her. Her religious faith is strong, and she instills it into her children at the domestic board and at eventide. The parents live out of doors, but it is rare, indeed, that vou see children on the streets of Paris after reasonable hours. They are taught to find their chief amusement in the home; and everything is done by the French father and mother to see that tho home is attractive to their children. One of the most beautiful sights in the world is to see a well regulated French family, where you will find the atmosphere redolent with domesticity. THE PRICt OF A WIFE. Savages Flare a Varying Value Upon Their Chosen Helpmates. In the earliest times of purchase a woman was bartered for useful goods or for services rendered to her father. In tho latter vvuy Jacob purchased hachcl and her sister Leiih. This was a licctia marriage, where a man, as in Genesis, leaves his father and his mother and cleaves unto his wife and they become one flesh or kin the woman's. The price of a bride in Brit ish Columbia and Vancouver island varies from twenty to forty pounds sterling's worth of articles. In Oregon an Indian gives for a wife horses, blankctsor buffalo robes; in California, shell money or horses; in Africa, cat tle. A poor Danuira will sell a daughter for one cow; a richer Kalllr expects from three to thirty. With the lhuiyal, if nothing bo given, her family claim her children. In Uganda, where no marriage rccent'v existed, she may be obtained for ball a down needles, or a coat, or a pair of shoes. An ordinary price is a box of percussion caps. In other parts, a goat or a oonple of buck skins will buy a girl. Passing to Aslu, we find her price Is sometimes five to fifty rubles, or at others, a curtloud of wood or hay. A princess mttv be pur chased for three thousand rubles. In Tartury, a woman can la obtained for a few pounds of butter, or where a rich man gives twenty small oxen a poor man may succeed with a pig. In Fiji, her equivalent 1h a whale's tooth or a musket. These, and himilnr prici-a else where, are eloquent testimony to the little value a savage, set tin his wife, f - - II Hail lllle.
