The process of making putty is a very simple one. The principzl ingredients are raw linseed oil and whining. Marble dust is mixed with the whiting. and as it is much cheaper it reduces the cost 01 the putty. Parafine oils are used to a great extent instead of linseed, and as the former is the cheaper and inferior oil of the two the result is to make an inferlox- article. To knead it. it is put in a chaserâ€"an annu. lsr shaped trough from the centre of which rises a vertical shaft. From this shaft. two arms extend. cu the ends of which are heavy iron wheels that rest in the trough, \Vhen the shaft revolve the wheels chase each other argund the trough. The Whole- sale price of putty is about two cents a poun 1. it he says : “What though I am not knewu, I am working on the higher sense. Why should I expect the lower and vulgar crowd to understand me ‘2" And they did not. If a man paints pictures and gets money, Oh! they cm understand that, but not a. man that paints portraits because it is in him, and he must do it without any relation to profit or any lower life whatever. Mun who sing or sell their poems, We all under- stand them. They are on the market. Not that it is a discredit to them, but we inter- pret them because they are manufacturing things that bring money.

Measuring Genius. The great mass of what we call moml and useful men. practical men, and men of common same are very useful men; they are the warp and woof of society, but they are not capable of understanding the heroic. Now and ti envit appears in a. life. and we don't know where it came from. His father wasn’t like that: his mother wasn't like that. but here comes a heroic nature that is careless ot matter or physical oom- fort, or even of society eni it: proprieties audits penurious reward, but who has a. sense of beauty. It burns in him to de- velop it. For the sake of giving expression to that he is Willing to waste his whole like.

The cholera had been domg i's fell work during the night, and the number of cases incremed continu- ally. As there was not sufficient emp‘oyes to deal with the dltficulty, the more unpaâ€" tient portion of the crowd began to about, when the sound of aclariuet and other In- strumama was heardlplayiuga epiri'ei waltz. The musicians approached, end succeeded in making their way through the crowd, followed by a young couple in their Sunday best, who were come to as married before the mayor. The lady objr'cled somewhst when she was obliged to go int) the disin- fecting room like any ordinu‘y person. She feared for her white dress, which would be spoiled by the chlorine, and the gentleman complained as to his gloves, which were of a. somewhat uncertain color. As soon, how- ever, as they entered the sputmeut where the ceremony took place their gayety re- turned. A few minutes later they r3sp~ peered with smiling faces, and the muicione resumed their waltz air, and the doctors went to attend the dying.

Progression is not always easy outside, for the route is often impedded by other hendbsrrows and bearers waiting for their burden, so that in the sickle or lit-le narrow streets there is frequently a perfect block, ads.

S)met1mes, moreover, the sick person is upset and prolected upon the passer by, who move about calmly, paying little heed to the cholera pstients. There is a long procession of hand-barrows in the streets around the hospitals of Com nochia and Piedigroth. The bearers meet , at the street corners, and silently form in single file. “Then tired they calmly stop to rest, and even sit down on their} barrows, and then the parents, who from quently follow the bearcri as far as the door of the hospital, take advantage of thesel stoppages to encourage the sick ones. The spectacles seen on the way are generally of a. terrible character. The patients see funeral processions, terribly simple, with a ‘ hearse drawu by a pair of miserable jades, l which the driver is obliged to lash unmeroi- ‘ logy to make them move a little quicker- l l l i A correspondent M N¢ples sends an 80- cmlnt of the gpiso leg at Lpe_cholera.fl: _ How They Make Putty. Scenes at Naples The Spanish American. The Spanish American is an inveterate gamester, while many who have studied the social economy of Mexico have held that the financial emborrassments of that fine coun- try have been due no less to “pronuncia- mentos" than to the game of "manta." The Cuban, again is one of the most determined anl the best mannered of punters. Whether he gains or loses at cord playing or cook fighting, he rarely moves 9. muscle. and pockets handsful of gold doubloons. or sees the onriferons “out wheels" swept away from him, with equal imperturbsbility.

Destruction oia Swiss Glacier with By- namite. OJ'B of the youngest, as well as one of the most beautiful, glwisrs in the country is that which gives birth to the river Rhone, and the grandest sight in connection with the Rhone glacier is the supurh seracs or pinnacles of ice, which prove asource of un- ending attraction to travellers by the Forks. pats. As is well known, the second and third bands of the road almost hang over the glacier, and afiord a wonderful View of the stupendous ice fall, which, descending from precipitous rocks, is broken and twist- ed into fantastic pyramids. This sight, writes our Geneva correspondent, is certain- ly unique in that part of the Alps, but on- less active steps are taken to stop the de- struction now going on, it will soon be so no longer, It appears that some people have obtained permission~from whom it is not clean-to destroy these pinnacles by means of dynamite, in order that the huge blocks thus easily detached may be put on the St, Gothard railway, and so transported to Bile. where they are to be stored in im- mense wells for summer use. Should the destruction of the glacier be allowed to con- tinue the authorities will find to their cost that they have killed the goose that laid the golden eggs, for the chief nttration of that desolate region is the supurb ice pinnacles cf the great glsaier, and when they have disappeared travellers will turn their steps in other directlons.â€"[London News. Guides for Ghosts The Chinese hill-tribes b‘lieve that man has only three souls. and these are most satisfactorily disposed of. One appropriv ater at” conveniently remains in the grave, another takes up his szition at the ancestral board, and the third roams about unrestrained in the Spirit world, not neces- sarily upon earth. Many of the women are food, he in India, of givina their dead child a dog, or,â€"by dint of prayers and supplica tionsâ€"the departed soul of an old and experienced person as guide, that the in {ant Wanderer may not miss its way on the path t) the spirit world, For this reason it was that the Mongolisns sent slaves to ac- company their dead princes. The Chinese, however, have a. more humme idea. They believe that, since it is likely that the (land man will be unable to find his way safely to the land of spirits, and may as probably as not stray from the right path, the kings of the under-world would furnish him with a little devil to act the part of guide and eer- vant to the newly disembodied spirit on its journey. The Poles used to have a notion of a similar kindI though they, like the Chinese, did not display it in such an un- pleasant way for survivors.

The total rental of this speck in the ocean is £18 It is a. small island on the seaboard of Done- gal. and it is well known as the scene of the wreck of the Iris sOme few years back, when the htrdy islanders, at great risk of life and limb, succeeded in rescuing the passengers and‘crew of theill-fated steamer. The extreme length of the islet is three miles and the breadth one and a half miles. It is distant from the mainland about nine miles, and of all the desolate speuks of land it is the most uninviting. Sixteen families with the light- house keeper make up the entire popula- tion. There is no arable land, and the sur- face of the ground is formed of rocks. Some of the tenants have never sid any rent, and others are from ten to [teen years in arrears. A precarious livelihood is eirned at fishing during the summer months, but, owing to the stormy and dangerous nature of the coast in the winter, the islanders go to the mainland until the spring. as there is no fuel to be obtained on the islet. There is only one landing place, and it requires skill and care to run into it in satiety. So the attempt to collect $90 has cost the British navy thousands of pounds and fifty- two lives. \Vhenever you commend, add your rea- sons for so doing; it is this which distin- guishes the approbation ot a man of sense from the flnttery of sycophants and the ad- miration of fools. Surcasm always leaves its doubt and its depression. Human nature avenges itself by suspicion.
