SCHOOL.
Among the pupils who attend
the Elish& Kent Kane public:
sol ool,Twenty-sixth and Jefferson
Slit... , is a small colored girl.
8�t. ••ppearance in the yard at
recess recently created somewhat
of a sensation among the other
%)u)ili, who held aloof from her.
The little girl stood nervously
clutching the iron railing of the
ie. ••. . ;Ind it was evident from
i • . • ••) •ted appearance that tale
1 • ,y ,alt ber p'Isition.
u..denly the door swung open
a tot with a wealth of
••'len hair, twisted into curls,
al pair of large blue eyes, and
.t face as radiant as a sunbeam,
ushed out. It was evident that
she was a 'favorite with the other
•children, for her appearance
changed the scene to one of the
liveliest animation.,
In a moment a ring was formed
and the girls whirled around to
Om music of sweet voices. Mean-
while, the colored child stood
silently alongside the fence, and
tears of disappointment coursed
down her cheeks. When the
game was ended, the tot with the
golden curls saw the child of color
-.evidently for the first time. With
innocence bornof a noble spirit,she
left her playmates and crossing
the yard to where the child stood
alone asked if she would like to
__..__-_. _ �_.--
"We don't want to play with
her;" protested one of the girls,
and her sentiment was echoed by
most of the others.
"Why?" asked the mediator, as
her big blue eyes expanded- with
surprise.
"'Cause she's black," was the
reply.
"But the black don't e9me off,"
persisted the other, as she touched
the hand of the colored girl, rub-
bed it, and then exposed the palm
of her hand to convince her play-
mates that such was the case.
"Well, we don't want to play
vli-th her,came the answer.
"Well, come with me, and we
will play," said the little heroine,
and calling her sister, who stood
hesitatingly with the group, the
three went off to 'another part of
the yard.
The other children felt ill at
ease and ,it wasn't long before the
little rebels deserted in ones and
twos and joined the sisters and
their colored companion. Now
the little colored girl, as they call
her, participates in all of the
games so dear to the hearts of
children.

LOOKING DOWN ON A
SNOWSTORM.
If there were no other diver-.
sion on Mount Washington, watch-
ing the intermittent extinction
and generation of the clouds
affords sufficient interest to occupy
much of the time. There are
"best days," for this, however,
as for other sights. The summit
of the mountian must be clear,
and the sun should shine brightly.
Then, if a snowstorm forms, say a
mile below, one of the most en-
chanting of all natural convulsions
delights the observer. The un-
substantial formations ' rival in
grandeur the solid mountains
themselves. Disturbed by the
warm air below them, and chill-
ed by the cold blasts above, the
great seas of vapor begin to roll
and pitch and tyumble, until a re-
gular tempest forms and sways
the whole. The billows form
.great swells and depressions.
They break angrily against the
rocky mountains, and their snowy
spray flies high in the air. Ris-
ing and falling, twisting and tang-
ling, they tell of the falling flakes
and blinding snowdust with which
the earth is being visited. The
more the • commotion the more
active is the fall of snow going on
below. How they toss and tum-
ble, and how magnificent are the
changes of light and shade I I
witnessed the finest show of this
nature, one afternoon about an
Hour before sunset. The great
orb seemed to sink into a sea of
saffron: yet shone with painful
brilliacy. Suddenly, upon the
cloud surface in front of my stand-
point, a mile below my feet, a
great mass of shining light appear-
ed. It was:as brilliant as the sun,
and of about the same color. It
was a 'sun-dog'—the image of the
sun reflected on the white bosom
of the snow storm. It remained
in sight for some time and was
caught by the camera. The snow
storm continued, and the sun de-
parted amid an attenaance of
clouds equal in glory to any
summer sunset 1ever saw. The
coloring upon the upper surface
of that raging snowstorm was
beyond the gift of the painter to
counterfeit.—From 'Mount Wash-
ington in Winter,' by +.dward L.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
INTERESTING PARAGRAPHS CULLED
FROM VARIOUS FIELDS.
Pasteur's Cure fur Rabies—The Lancet Re-
ports Two Well Authenticated Canes
of Cure—The Particulars of the Treat-
ntent—Scientific Notes.
Considerable discussion has been had
aiming Medical men, at home and abroad, as
to Pasteur's preventive method furhydropho-
bia, it being alleged as highly probable that
in many instances patients have undergone
treatment when the dog which had inflicted'
the bite was quite healthy, or, at least, not
suffering from rabies. But Dr. Tuwliuy,
medical officer of health, Leicester, Euglaud,
relates iu the Lancet the follok•ing record of
three eases treated at the Pasteur institute
last year, which places beyond all doubt that
the animal, at the time of iutlietiug the
injuries, was suffering from rabies:
On January 5, 1500. a stray (log came into
the borough of Leicester from the adjoining
suburbs, and on its way bit two school chil-
dren, a boy and a girl, on the face and hands,
the wounds upon each of the children's faces
being of a very extensive, lacerated charact-
er. This occurred outside the borough
bouudat•ies, and almost at the >atue time it
bit also a small terrier dog. l'ontiuuing its
course into the town, it bit a young man
severely on the hand, and shortly afterthis
it was killed. The patients were seen
by medical men and the wounds
cauterized, but not tyrtil after the lapse
of some little thud. In one .rase nearly
an hour elapsed. 1 mates all the patients 011
the following day, and, with the assistance
of Mr. Fraser, the veterinary inspector to
the corporation, made a post mortem exam-
ination of the dog. The pathological appear-
ances to the naked eye were practically nil,
but the stuntacli contained smite pieces of
straw and other debris. The curd and me-
elulla were removed: — - • -
On Saturday, the l lth, I took the three
patients to Paris (taking with me the cord
removed from the dog), arid ou Sunday
Morning they were seen by M. Pasteur,
and treatment commenced in the
usual nlauner. From the cord several
rabbits were inoculated, and before
the end of a week these succumbed to what
M. Pasteur declared to be rabies. The ratan
was kept under treatment fourteen days, but
the two children, owing to the severity of
the wounds, were kept for twenty-five clays
before being sent home. The small terrier
bitten by the dog was kept by ate under close
observation shut up, away from all other
animals, and on the fifteenth day from being
bitten it began to show signs of indisposition
(having in the interval beeu apparently in
good health) which soon declared itself as un-
doubtedly riibies, aed the animal succumbed
on the third day from the first onset of
the. -_.symptoms. Being kept. secluded and
alone, it showed but few signs of excite-
ment, but crawled about, refusing to eat or
respond when called to, paralysis of the low-
er jaw and hind limbs soon supervening. It
should be noted that the wound on its hind
leg was but a small one, not larger thait a
threepenny piece, and at the time of its death
was healed.
Here, then, we have Indisputable evideng�ep
that the animal which bit these three pati-
ents was suffering from rabies, and the
probabilities are, seeing how easily the sec-
ond dog was infected, that at least one or
other of the three would have developed
symptoms of hydrophobia if the treatment
for preveutiou had not been adopted. As
more than twelve months have now elapsed
since the occurrence, and all of them remain
in good health, we may conclude they have
now quite escaped from any untoward con-
sequences.
Scientific Notes.
Oue of the latest applications of electricity
is the blowing of church organs. Electric
motors have been introduced in old Trinity
church, St. Patrick's cathedral, and many
other New York church edifices and the
work done is found to be more satisfactory
and economical than that performed by men
or by water or gas motors.
A special kind of paper has been invented
which, it is alleged, is absolutely impervious
to water, and will even stand burning. The
waterproofingcan be carried out either after
the paper is made or during the operation of
making it, the latter being the better course.
The process is especially applicable to papers
for packing, and, for this purpose, will be of
great value.
The painter, Herr Gerhard, of Dusseldorf,
has invented, or re -invented, a new mode of
painting in which no oil is used, but casein
' and'wax. While painting, water is employ-
ed for rendering the mixture fluid. Over
the paint thus made oil paint can still be used
if desired. It is saidthat the old Egyptians
and Pompeiians, as well as modern painters
till Rubeue, and especially Albert Durer,
eniployed this method.
A bullet has just been patented, the base
of which, as well as the body, is covered by
an alloy, non -fusible at any temperature
which it is possible to generate in a gun bar-
rel. The necessity for such a bullet has been
caused by the introduction of nitrated or
smokeless powder, which generates such in-
tense heat that the base or head of the bullet
Is melted and consequently much ragged.
Accuracy of aim is thus much impaired.
A wonderful discovery has been attract-
ing the attention of scientists. .Y beam of
sunlight is made to pass through n prism, so
as to produce the solar spectrum or rainbow.
A disk, having slits or opening, cut in it, is
made to revolve and the colored light of the
rainbow is made to break through- it -ami fall
ou silk, wool or other material contained in
a glass vessel. As the colored light fallg upon
it sounds will be given by the ditl'erent
parts of the spectrum, and there will le sil-
ence in other parts. If the vessel coutains
red worsted and the green light flashes upon
it, loud sounds will be given. Only feeble
sounds will be heard when the red and blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and
other colors make no sound at all.

A month ago Mrs Frank Bauer,
of Canton, Ohio, gave birth to a
baby girl, for whom Mrs Bauer's
four-year-old son conceived an in-
tense dislike; because, as he said
he wanted a little brother. The
youngster has never missed an
opportunity to maltreat his little
sister, and on Monday the contin-
ued crying of the babe led the
mother to make an examination,
when she discovered that the
groat toe of the right foot had been
bitten off at the joint. The four-
year-old acknowledged his guilt.
There can be no general con-
tentment in Canada while the
system of Provincial subsidies
and public works continues.
There can be no general con-
tentment while we maintain
a tariff that has gradually
become identified with the
interests of a class rather than
with the interests of the country
as a whole, and which is char'ac-
ter'ized so largely by sectionalism.
If there is room for reform in our
customs !aws, how much ni,re
room is there for reform in the
administration of those laws.
Less vexation is caused by the
tariff itself than by the uncertain-
ties, the inequalities, the eecen-
tricities of its administration.—

A curious accident, and one
perhaps without a parallel, hap-
pened to a negro known as Jack
Walz, employed as a servant by
Rev. R. Mason at Jackson,• Mioh.
The negro was lying dozing be-
fore a wood fire and had just opens
ed b is mouth to gape, when a log
of wood suddenly snapped in two,
sending a shower of coals over the
hearth. One of these coals with
unerring aim fell directly in the
mouth of Walz,. and lodging in
the throat, just below the uvula,
completely closed the passage.
The unfortunate negro, unable
even to stream, sprang up and
rushed about the house in search
of water, which, on finding he
gulped down, and succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the coal. The uvula
was so badly burned, however,
that it had to be removed and
Walz will die.
A Valuable Acetal.

value to a price nearly equal to that of gold,
was originally discovered at two places in
South America—in Venezuela and at Barba -

chiefly t1•ont the Ural ;Mountains and the
United States. It is a most. ?morn! metal, be-
ing largely in demand in chemical

the great extension of the lat,'r has been
the cause of its recent doubling in price.
