A natural curiosity died in Annapolis.
Md., Thursday evening. It was a child of
colored parentage, and when born had white
curly hair, resembling sheep’s wool. The
eyes were of a pinkish color and the com
plexion was snow white, with a slight tinge
of red on her cheeks. It very closely re
sembled a large wax doll which has been ex
hibited in a shop window and which the
mother of the child had frequently admired
and expressed an anxious desire to purchase
it, but was unable to do so. The physicians
pronounce it a remarkable case of lusus
untune.
The Democrats of Kansas have nominated
Mi ss Sarah A. Brown for State Superinten
dent of Public Instruction. This is anew
departure in politics, especially for the Dem
ociats, who have not, heretofore, favored
“ woman’s rights.” Miss Brown is at present
Superintendent of Schools for Douglass coun
ty. and is credited with having accomplished
a great deal more in that position than any
of her male predecessors. The Democratic
leaders of Kansas express the opinion that
Miss Brown's nomination will strengthen
theimState ticket by drawing votes from the
opposition.
The parish priest of Montanaro, a village
in Upper Italy, was very much in need of an
altar for his church, but could not induce
the male members of his flock to contribute
to that end. lie then resolved to experi
ment upon the softer natures of his female
pyrishoners. Ascending the pulpit after
high mass, one Sunday morning, he conclu
ded an eloquent sermon by exhorting the
women present to devote their hair to
the sacred purpose he had so frequently and
unsuccessfully recommended to the attention
of their natural protectors. So saying, he
produced from the bosom of his cassock a
pair of large sharp scissors, and retired to his
sacristy, impressively summoning matrons
and maidens alike to follow him thither.
No fewer than two hundred and twelve sub
mitted their locks to his pastoral shears, and
when the sacrifice had been accomplished the
female population of Montanaro found itself
as short of hair as a well worn blacking
brush.
A liquid fuel for steamships and locomo
tives is attracting the attention of scientific
people in Europe and Asia. It has been
tried with complete success on the Russian
steamer Czarowitz, the fastest mail boat on
the Caspian sea, and is to he adopted for the
locomotive on the Tiflis-Baku Railway and
other Asiatic lines. Its use has also been
suggested on the underground railways of
London. The fluid used is simply the re
fuse of petroleum oil. It is carried in an
iron tank, and being blown into a spray by
means of steam from the boiler of the engine
is ignited inside the furnace and burns with
a roaring sheet of flame. Such a mode of
combustion has several prominent advan
tages over tire usual coal fire. It requires
■no stoking and the flame can be manipulated
like a jet of gas. and the? steam pressure easy
kept up to a required degree. The Inst is a
valuable property for fast cruisers in time of
war or for blockade runners. Moreover,
there are no asl.es and the - moke is free from
-sulphur.
