Scientific men are now blowing bub- bles, perhaps not altogether as an amusement, but certain it is they get a. great deal of amusement out of it while arriving at scientific conclusâ€" ions. Someone has invented a double bubble pipe, by which two bubbles are blown at one time, one inside the other. The pipe is a little tin tube about six or seven inches long. slightly sloping; flhe larger end is surrounded by a sort of cup, which is just a. little shorter iihan,t~he central opening; they are con- nected by an air pamage through the pipestem. The lower end of the pipe- stem is about one-half inch in diameter, and the surrounding cup about one inch. The inner mbe'is just a little longer than the outer cup, so that when the bubbles are blown together, the inner one may be shaken off and float clear inside the larger one,w1hich still adheres to the outside cup, and may be blown still larger. It is apretty sight, but it takes patience to become an adept. But if you can't get these double bub~ ble pipesfor your party, just get com- mon clay ones. They do not cost much, and, if broken, no one need cry about litl \Ve pay 1 cent each or 19 cents per dozen. Some think that a tin born about eight inches long and about an inch and an eighth in diameter at the big end will make bubbles much bigger and make them much- quicker than any pipe. If you (have the horns faintly lured for an inch upward from the base they will be imiroved, for the irregu- larities_ will ho d the fluid in small quantities and the bubble will be easier to start and. better fed. Such horns can be made by the dozen at any tinâ€" sho for a few cents. strongest possible fluid for pro- bubbles is made in this way: Take the fourth of an ounce of white costiile ; cut it up into small pieces and boil three or four minutes in three- fourths of a but of water; when the soap is Incite and the water has cooled. ad thme-fourtihs of an ounce of gly- cerine. This makes enough of the mixture for a bubble party. It is bet- ter made the day before it is used and kept corked tightly; the bubbles are then such visions of glorious violet, rose. green. orange and blue as cannot be seen in any other way on this planet. These bubbles will last half amin- ute or more and one of the prettiest in the world is to toss them in- to the air like balls. All that is noâ€" cessary for this feat is a rough woolen mitten and a. little care. Don't lift the hand to meet the bubble in the air, but. on the contrary, sink ii: a. little as the bubble approaches, so that it Will settle on it in the gentlest pos- sible w ; then, gently again, toss it up and i. will rise time after time like a. balloon. A long table covered with an old blan- ket is a, fine thing for showing off bubbles , they can be formed from one end of it to the other and a prize can be offered for the blower who success- fully forms the greatest number of bub- bles through the whole 'ourney. \Vith a. fan. too, bubbles can kept in the air and a great variety of games in- vented with them. A fine chance for showing off a pretty figure this exerâ€" cise ives. Buibles can be blown to rest on the damp edge of cups. and they last long- or in this position than in any other. f thegeare put under a glass case, so as to quite protected from currents of air, the color in them will settle into regular rainbow. bands and the effect is most curious as well as bewildering- ly beautiful. GIRLS OF THE ANTIPODEES. The Burmese girl is, perhaps, the most charming and picturespuc. and the most happy of all Oriental women, not even excepting Japan, in which country we are led to believe they are very much advanced. The Burmese costume is invariably gay, and consists of a jacket of silk or cotton mailing to the hips, and a wide strip of bright-lined material which is wound about the waist and legs so as to have the appearance of a tight-fit- ting skirt, and is fastened with a twist in the front. Above the tight-sleeved jacket is generally worn a gorgeous silk shawl over one or both shoulders. They are exceedingly proud of their black hair, which they wear coiled up on top of their heads. adorned with bright or- chitin. they know no schoolâ€"days. as female education is considered quite superflu- onu. Kite-flying and dancing are their chief occupations. The dancing consists of numerous queer contortions of the body, and from constant practice from an early'age, they have great Supple- ness of body, and can twist themselves into aeemmgly impossible attitudes without any difficulty. At the age of thirteen the celebratâ€" ed ear-boring takes place, and after that it is time to think of marriage. A girl is free to choose her own husband, only ancient superstition decrees that she shall not marry a man born on a. cer- tain day of the week. Disaster is sup- posed to overwhelm the girl born on Sunday whose spouse is born on Wed- nesday, and that there shall be no un- certainty in the day of birth, a. child always has a name beginning With the letter of the day of the week on which she was born. _ Marriage is a social and not a relig~ ious ceremony in Burmah. The priest ignores women entirely. The wedding party assembles at the bride's home, the band plays; and the guests sit about on the floor, chattin , smoking,‘and_eat- ing sweetmeats, an after a time it is announced that the two young people who are mentioned by name are man and wife. This completes the formal- ity. The wife has equal rights With her husband in property, is, perhaps, his social superior. During the. first years of marriage be m t live With his mother-inâ€"law, and be p support her. The wife holds the purse and manages all household expenditures. A divorce is as easily obtained in Burmah as in Japan. Burmese girls marry Chinamen, but in this case they stipulate that they shall be treated as Burmese wives, and not as Chinese. The children of such unions are brought up, the boys as Chinâ€" ese, the girls as Burmese. GOLDEN SILENCE. Everyone knows that it is almost the easiest thing in the world to offend people. But how different it is to get them to forgive and forget! One does say so many ugly little things unthink- ingly when the temper is aroused. and the feelings of others are wounded. All the apologies in the world no not blot out bitter words. and the more we love the one who utters them, the harder it is to forget, atihough forgiveness may be granted a moment later. True friends always feel the little rift in theirfriendâ€" ship. and the peaceful harmony, once broken is never the same afterward. It is hard to learn to govern one's self, but if the old adage, “ Try. try again.” ever insured success in any undertaking. it Will do so here. To force unwilling lips into silence is a difficult thing to do. but it saves one much humiliation and regret afterward. HOME AND ABROAD RAPID FIRING, Comparison of British and Foreign Monu- lnln Artillery. An English officer on Indian service, who lately spent his holiday in the Alps with the special object of reporting on the comparatively efficiency of French and Italian batteries with regard to English, had no hesitation in deciding, says the Admiralty and Horse Guards Gazette, that in rapidity of fire and general smartness our men and moun- tain guns were ahead of both countries. There were some points of special ex- cellence about both corps, and with re- gard to the Italians one fact may be noted. The men were trained and ac- customed to carry the component parts of the gun themselves; but in accuracy of fire as well as rapidity, and with regard to the general. smartness of the men themselves, he would have had no doubt in putting our own mountain bat- -t.eries into competition with. either French or Italian. But the high stan- dard of merit attained with regard to accuracy relates entirely to stationary objects, and it is felt that the 'results attained at the ranges might be easily falsified on the field of battle against moving objects, and especially against the rapid movements of cavalry. At the present moment there is no place in India whire firing wt moving objects can be praciioed, and even in England it is only quite recently that the sun- pie moving target on a pair of rails has been esiublished at Okehampton. Even [here the target is never moved. at unyihing approaching the rate at which cavalry would charge, and, moreâ€" over the object fired at moves across the horizon instead of tounird the guns themselves, as would 'be the case With cavalry in real war. \VHERE COLORS COME FROM. Few peopleâ€"even artists themselves â€"-know where the colors used in the arts come from. It'is an interesting fact that one small paint box will often represent the four quarters of the globe, and all sorts of materials, ani- mal, vegetable and mmerul. The coch- anal insect. supplies the carmines and rich crimson, scarlet and purple lakes. Sepia is the inky 'luid discharged by the devilish cuttle fish.

Ia ma e from pure BETTER LETâ€"THEM PERISH INDIA’S DYING MILLIONS THE VIC- ' TIMS OF NATURE. ‘ ‘ So Some of England's Social Philosophers Argue With Regard to the l'laiguc and Famineâ€"New Theory About Great Epi- demlcs. It was inevitable, perhaps, that the double scourge which has turned all eyes of pity toward India, should also have revived public discussion of that pitiless topic, "the survival of the fit- tes ,” says a. London letter. It is a cold and relentless philosophyâ€"but no more so than nature herselfâ€"which is questioning the ultimate wisdom of ser- ious interference with the natural calâ€" amities which are devastatng the most populous sections of the British Empire. The debate which has begun in the Eng- lish press has been suggested by such obvious queries as these: What part do these great epidemiiw and periodical famines play in the economy of nature? 'Are they, after all, the unmitigated ev11 which they appear to be at close quar- tors? Was Damvin right or wrong in making these great natural visitations the basis of his thcdry of natural se- lectionâ€"a. theory which holds a most important place in the evolution of the human race? i . Cold logic, unsoftiened by any considâ€" erations of human sympathy, has led some debaters of these questions to con- clusions which are much more creditable to their heads than to their hearts. It is not, however, in any spirit of un- chariltableness that the discussion has gone on. Now that the popular heart has been touched, the outpouring of English gold for the benefit of the perishin‘g millions of fellow subjects of the Queen-Empress makes one of the SUBiL-IIVIEST SPEC'I‘ACLES in the history of humanitarianism. The English people are entitled therefore to discuss some of the deeper social ques- tions involved in the calamity without exposing themselves to the charge of shirking a duty of charity. The sub- ject has also been forced upon their attention in another way. The anti- Brilish press in Germany has recently attempted to hold the British authori- ties in India responsible both for the garages of the famine in the interior {and for the spread of the plague in i Bombay. These charges have been de- ,nicd with a good deal of heat and in- 'dignation. But the defenders of Brit- ish rule have proved too much. The Times, for instance. said a day or two ago upon the point: "It is due to British. rule and to .no- thing else that the famine has not made itself felt until so late a period, and A whisk broom is better than a. cloth that, notwithstanding an immense in_ for cleaning outside blinds and window .crease of um populmion’ it is now be_ sashes. lVben cleaning fresh water fish do not let it lie in water. for“ it is very apt to make it soft and flabby. 4 To test the freshness of eggs, drop them slowly into a lbwl of water, and if the small end comes to the top they are fresh. :When drying black stockings do not ing fought with snow.

A; small portion of this was by annexa~ tion.. but by far the larger part was within the old ares. Alt that rate of increase, as the Times observes. the day is not for distant when all the re- sources of the British Eznpire will not suffice to cope with a succession of bad seasons and a. failure of rains over an extended area. It is a. d further that the excellence of British ruleâ€"the unprecedented security to life which it has suppliedâ€"has chiefly contributed to this condition of overpopulation. In other words, British government in In- dia has been far too good. It has brought about an abnormal condition which only a great doub'le cataclysm of nature can set right. And now Great Britain and the charitable world at large are domg their utmmt to thwart nature in her necessary and inevitable prooess. - . This cold-blooded conclusion is shock- ing to every human sensibility, but howus it to be esmped ilmm., say the casuists. It is a view which may, haps, be adopted wiith equanimity w on it includes only the distant and ' soual millions of India, but how about it when it is applied to the teemingi ilhousands in the East End of London.- The plague, although it is far less serious in the number of victims which if has thus far_ claimed than its brother curse. the famine, just now obtains the larger smile of public attention. The reason is obvxousâ€"it is a. direct menace to the wozrldat large, and iits seat is in the coast city of Bombay, which is now a‘suburb of Europe, instead of being hidden in film unknown interior. The bacteriolong and other modern ene- mies of this once omnipotent destroyer. are rapidly bringing the resources of science to ear against him. Encourag- ing, but, I . premature, news of success on the Side of modern knowled c has already been sent out, but in the mean time a. historical study of the great scourge has suggested an inter- esting iheor . It is said in general terms that t e plnlgue is ‘ A= Dilile DISEASE. This, which a London writer says on the subject, is at all events interestin .: “The dirt question in relation to t e plague is one of the things that are still obscure. Roughly speaking, the laguve has ravaged Europe from the 9 inning of the Christian era, at inter- va 3 of 209 or 300 years. Ilt has thus had long intervals of quiescence. \Vas there no dirt then to promote its spread? \Vhy, of course there was plenty of it, but the plague came not; and the reas- on must have been that during these intervals some unkn- own conditions re- quisite for its propagation were absent. When I my that medical science still knows little that is essential about the plague I mean that it knows nothing about these mysterious conditions. There is the case of India, for instance. The figue is there now. \Vhy was it not t: re five years ago, when all the visible conditions, dirt included, were this same? It may be said that the plague is always simmering somewhere in the East, like cholera, and I agree. But why does it pimmen at some periods, and launch out on a career of devastation at others? "'As to the mysterious conditions, I know just as little as the most eminent bacteriologists, but I will hazard a guess as to one, which professional eti- quette in his case might not allow him to do. I fancy that the principle of vaccination has a wider application than is commonly suspected, and that whole peoples, and even races, after suf- fering from some virulent epidemic, be- come proof against it for a timeâ€"inoc- ulated, in fact. I have long suspected that this decrease in Smallpox may be due not only to vaccination, but also to its having burnt itself out to some ex~ tent in Europe; because when the infec- tion happens to be introduced into. some savage tribe, where ‘it was prevmusly unknown, iit rages with a fierceness to which the case-hardened European is a stranger. Now can it be that the plague in its successive outbreaks at ong intervals 1 [BURNS lTSlflLiF OUT for the time being, and that the races of mankind have to accumulate what I may will fuel for the gown to_fced 'up- on? This would be an mien-sting point to clear up, the more so that it llpplles, in some degree, to all. germ diseases. It is now 1330 years since the plague last raged in England. Judging from! historical record this would be rather a. short interval for its reappearance, shorter, that is to say, than the average; but it could be dun again.” This theory is unmapiud in part by sevâ€" eral high authorities on the subject.
