At a sale in Paris the other day, a splendid" dish of rare old Rouen ware fetched £304. It was twenty inches in diameter, and was beautifully painted with Cupids and flowers. There are some very fine specimens of this china in the private apartments at Windsor Castle. In the town of Veroyonsk, Siberia, the thermometer ranges from fifty to eighty.six below zero. The residents never bathe. Their windows are made of ice. A clear piece is selected, about five or six inches-thick, mortised in- the window openings in blocks of two feet, and sometimes as large as four, and with wstfef is Ri<id& solid. The water Is as good as putty. When the window becomes dirty they scrape it off with a knife, ahd when it has been sraped thin, %y substitute a new pane.
