The average length of life has greatly
increased with the advance of civilian
tion. Three or four centuries ago a man
of fifty year* was regarded a* ready for
the grave.

Belgium now has 133,090 voters; o
household suffrage would raise the num¬
ber to 900,000; giving tho suffrage to
all who can read and write would raise
it to 1,100,000, and universal suffrage
would mean 1,5( 0.000 voters.
John A. Cockerill avers in the Re¬
corder that “for any legitimate bust
oesa enterprise guaranteeing four per
cent, profit $100,000,000 can be raised
in New York City in twenty-four iiours

French marine architects have ex¬
pressed considerable surprise at the Eng¬
lish being able to budd so large aud fine
a battle ship as the Royal Sovereign iu
two years anti a half. They take from
five to ten years for their first-class bat¬
tle ships. *_
As an example of the extent to which
tipping prevails on the Continent, it is
interesting to learn that porters in Swiss
hotels are not only paid no wages but
themselves pay n rental to the innkeep¬
ers. They make their living, and a good
one, exclusively from the tips given them
by guests.
It is pretty certain that Corot, tho
French artist, did not paint more than
700 sketches, and yet there have been
12,000 examples of his work palmed
upon a picture-buying public, which has
only just began to learn that auction
catalogued pictures are not always what
they protend to be.
Tiic census figures as to population on
the color alignment show in 1890 a
white increase of 26.68 per cent; a total
colored increase, including Chinese,
Japanese and civilized Indiaus, as well
as persons of African descent, of 13.11
per cent. In the previous decade o{
1870— 80 the white increase was 29.22
per cent, the oolored 25.97.
Railroad men iu England agree with
Charles Francis Adams when he said that
tho safest place in which to spend au
hour or two, is on au express train ou
one of the main railways. Last year only
five passengers were killed on all the rail
ways of the Uuited Kingdom, while on
the streets of London alone, 147 deaths
and 5784 injuries resulted from accidents.
Says the Chicago Times: Let it once
be fully understood by legislators that
road laws which will not compel the
building of first-class roads are abomi¬
nations, and that their promoters are
public nuisances, and bills to “reform”
the supervisor system will no longer be
introduced in our legislatures. Abolish
the road supervisor system, not reform
it.
The singular name of the Democratic
candidate for Vice-President is attract¬
ing attention. According to the Balti¬
more 8un, it is pronounced in three syl
lablcs, “Ad-la-i,” aud is a Biblical name.
It means “the just,” or, n9 some have it,
“my ornament.” Adlai in the Bible
was the father of Shaphat, who was one
of King David’s officials and had charge
over the herds that were in the valleys.
He is mentioned iu First Chronicles,
xxvii., 29.
Dairy schools are now, and justly so
the American Farmer thinks, very pop
ular throughout the country. Young
men aud young women deciding to re¬
main on the farm should take advantage
of the educational advantages thus of¬
fered, aud be able, in a comprehensive
aud systematic way, to produce from the
dairy butter and cheese of most excel¬
lent quality, which will return a larger
revenue than that produced ia the old
slouchy way.
Professor Houston,in his recent Brook¬
lyn address, made live interesting pro¬
phecies on the future of electricity,
namely: That electricity would be pro¬
duced directly from coal; that the steam
sngine would be entirely replaced by
the electric motor; that aerial naviga¬
tion would be effected by electricity;
that electric light would be produced
without heat, and that electricity would
be applied to the curing of disease aud
the prolongation of life.
The Japanese are said, by the Sa
i
Francisco C louicle, to be greatly
enamored of colonization schemes ia this
country but it is probable that the Gov¬
ernment will not permit wholesale emi
gratiou for fear of the enforcement of
the contract labor law and the enactment
of an exclusion law. It i s only within
recent years that Japan has permitted her
subjects to go abroad, and if tho United
States show* any disposition to make
an
exclution law there will be an en 1 o£ all
iramgration from tho land of tho
ilikado.

Only a few years ago but two or three
advanced schools in this country were
open to students of both sexes; now 204
of the 365 colleges in the Uuited States
are co-educational.
During last year 3741 holies were cre¬

It is reported that the explorer Carlos
Frv has discovered a pass across the
Andes by which it will be possible to re¬
duce from thirty days to four or five the

taries of the Upper Amazon.
The decimaiists say that the twenty
four hour day is doomed. The day is
to consist of ten hours; the hour will be
divided into ten decades, each of which
will contain ten minutes, each minute
ten seconds and each second ten Hashes.
Upon this basis a clock has already been
constructed.
Canada has 75,768 industrial estab¬
lishments—au increase of fifty-one per
cent, in ten years. The capital invested
is $353,000,000, an increase of 114 por

four per cent.; wages $99,000,000, in¬

The proposal to supply horses with
false teeth, and thus protract their vigor
to greater age, is said by some dentists
to be practicable. Should it ever be¬
come popular, remarks the Boston Cul¬
tivator, the old saying about the impro¬
priety of looking a gift horse in the
mouth will have additional force.
The extent of the street railroad inter¬
est in the United States may be esti¬
mated from a recent report, which states
that there are 5783 miles of such road in
operation, having 32,505 cars and em
ploying 70,764 men. The total number
of passengers carried last year was
2,023,010,202, being 349,820 per mile
of road work and 62,237 per car.

The largest amount of iron tankage in
the oil country of Pennsylvania at any
one time was 43,000,000 barrel?, repre¬
senting an investment of not less than
$20,000,000 for labor and material, and
not including pipes and pumps to make
it available. Notwithstanding this ef
fort to find storage for all the oil pro¬
duced, a great deal of it flowed on the
ground and was lost.
The United States is known to be
somewhat of a railway country, but it is
not generally understood that it possesses
nearly one half of the total railway
mileage of the whole world. Consider
ing that more than four-fifths of the
present gigantic system of railways has
been constructed since the close of the
Civil War, this fact is the more signifi¬
cant. Tiie Uuited States has outstripped
other countries in many things, but more
than all in the matter of railways.
The Electrical Age contains a proposi
tion that the opening of the World’s
Fair be announced by the simultaneous
discharge of cannons in every city and
town of the United States by electricity.
By the co-operation of the telegraph
companies the loaded cannons could all
be connected iu electrical circuit, anil
when the President touches the button
there will be a simultaneous roar of
artillery from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the great lakes to the gulf.
The Boston Cultivator says: “War
and agriculture are naturally antagonistic.
There is a reason for this, especially since
gunpowder came iuto vogue as the great
destrustive war agency. Nitrates are an
important constituent of gunpowder.
Even the smokeless powders contain
them. Nitrates are the most important
element of plant food. Think how many
crops have grown poorly while war has
been wasting in useless smoke the ma¬
terial through whicb-they would have be¬
come thriving and prolific.”
A gentleman came ashore in North
America the other day who has been

he was born in the State of Maine, his
South American life and business shew
their eHects. “ Why do the, go out to
Chicago to hold the convention?” he
asked, “aud what's ail this nonsense
about having a world’s fair there? I
thought the place was pretty well burned
down. They can't have got it into
shape for people to be comfortable
there.” And he did not like it, ’ adds the

An element iu the Southern industrial

The Atlanta Journal admits that the
rising generation in the Indian Terri¬
tory have reached the front rank in the
march of civilizition, and are keeping
right up with the procession. The young
ladies of the female seminary at Tale

A striking fact about the Chinese u?(
of tea, which is told on the authority ol
a Chinese officer, is that it is employed
for preserving the bodie? of the dead.
A corpse placed in the centre of a che3t

He further asserts that tea which has
been employed in this capacity is often
exported for foreign consumption, the
boxes being marked in a way known only
to the natives.

The males are in the majority in the
United States. Ttie Cen3U3 Bureau has
recently completed its classification of
(he population by sex and nativity, aud
finds that iu 1890 there were in the
United States 32,067,880 males and 33,-
554,370 females. In the decade the in¬
crease of males wa3 25.66 per cent.,
while that of females wa? 24.02 per
cent. Of the 63,622,650 inhabitants
euumerated 53,372,703 were born in
the United States. The colored people,
including in that category Chinese,
Japanese,and civilized Indians,numbered
7,638,360.

“only known as “the famine district,”
one almost inevitably concludes, after
jven a slight examination, writes W. C.
Edgar iu the Forum, that other and

I the investigation is continued, the firmer
■ grows the impression that fundamentally
the system of communal ownership ol
j land The “mir” is responsible community for has the simply situation,
j or ex
hausted itself,and the thirty years which
have elapsed since the emancipation of
the serfs have been more than sufficient
to demonstrate that the entire foundation
upon which liussiaa agriculture is basel
is radically weak, and that the practical

failure.
The climate of the United States i;
much the same now that it was a hun

Bill Passes Both Houses.
A GOOD SHOWING FOR THE EIGHT MONTHS
SESSI N—BRIEF PROCEEDINGS OF
TnE TWO HOUSES.
Congress adjourned Friday. It has
been in session just eight months, less
two days. In that time it has made a
3 plendid record on account of the ma¬
jorities of the house and senate being of
different political parties. Othi r than
necessary legislation, little has been ac¬
complished in the way of new general
legislation.
THE HOUSE.
i Friday. —At noon the house resumed,
in committee of the whole, consideration
of the Durbarow world’s fair bill. The
bill was debated for an hour. Much o
the debate was foreign to the question
sioner pending, and referred to the coramis
of pensions. Precisely at 1 o’clock
the chairman of the committee of the
whole-stated that, under the order of the
hou-e. the committee must arise. II,mo*
arisen 1 ? the Durbarow bill was reported to
; the house. The pend ng amendment,
? nd j h ® on, y ‘ ne ’ was th e substitute of.
fered by Mr. DeArmond, . , of Missouri,
for the first section of , he bill . It pro .
vides that, if the World’s Columbian ex
position shall deposit at a mint < f
tlie U^cd States a sufficient quantity
J 01 delivered siiv'T bulliOD, it shall be coined and
lar to tne exposition in half-dol
coins, in an amount not exceeding
$5,000,000. It jected yeas, 80; nays,
139. The bill then passed, yeas, 131,
nnys, 83. On morion the vote by which
the bill passed wa? reconsidered and the
motion to reconsider laid upon the table.
This was done only after an ineffective
attempt was made by Mr. Baiiy.of Ttxu?,
to filibuster. Tho speaker appointed
Messrs. Fitch, Geissenhaincr, DeForest,
ltay and Harrner as members of the spe¬
cial committee to inquire into the execu¬
tion of election laws in New York. On
motion of Mr. Houck, of Ohio, the senate
joint resolution was passed authorizing
foreign exhibitors at the World’s fair to
bring into this country foreign laborers
to assist in preparing their exhibits. Mr.
Boatner, of Louisiana, submitted the
majority report on the Wa son charges,
and it was ordered printed ; so, also, were
the views <f the minority, signed by Mr.
Simpson, of Kansas. Mr. Grout, of Ver¬
mont, submitted his individual views.
The house then took a recess until 7 p. m.
The evening session of the house was
decidedly interesting. The galE ries were
crowded and the spectators -were well
paid for their attendance. Soon after
meeting at 7 o’clock, in the evening, the
conference report on the sundry civil bill
was brought in. In that bill as it passed
the senate wa9 a paragraph making a
small appropriation for the employment
of extra capitol poEcemen during the G
A. R. encampm- nt in September.
An amendment had been put on it in the
house providing that no company having
a government contract should employ
Pinkerton detectives, or any other armed
men to go from one state to another. The
conference committee cut this out as it
was Thjtet too sweeping in its character.
the hr>u c e passed the sundry civil
lid it came finin
The next hour was devoted to the pas¬
sage of unobjected-to bills. A
committee was appointed to notify the
president that the house wa? ready to
adjourn. That committee reported that
the president had no further communi¬
cations to make the senate. The resolu¬
tion to adjourn at 11 o’clock came over
and was passed. The transaction of
routine uninteresting business then went
on until 11 o’clock. The so.ene of the
evening was when Speaker Crisp at 11
o’clock declared the house adjourned
without day. As he rapped his gavel
and retired from the stand the corres¬
pondents in the press gallery to the num
her of nearly one hundred sang the
doxologv, followed immediately by the
tune of “He’s a jolly good fellow.”
THE SENATE.
Friday —In the senate, when the Dur
borow World’s fair bill came from the
house, it was read in full and the vice
president having declared that the bill
was open to amendment, Mr. Vest said
that if he cou d defeat it by any parlia¬
mentary tactics, he should do so very
cheerfully. Other members made a vig¬
orous kick aguinst the measure, while
good arguments were made for the bill
by Messrs. Hawley and Palmer. The
bill was finally ordered to its third read¬
ing and passed without division. After
another short executive session the house
joint resolution to pay the salaries of
officers and employes of congress for the
month of August, 1892, in advance,
was. laid before the senate, and Mr.
Butler offered an amendment to it,
requiring the session employes of
both houses (not on the annual
roll) to be paid their saiaries for the
whole month of August. The amend¬
ment was agreed to and the house j >int
resolution, as amended, was passed. The
8< nste then, at 4:05 ohock took a recess
till 8 o’clock p. m., to give time for the
enrolling of the world’s fair bill and the
sundry civil bill. The senate, at its
evening session, agreed to the confer¬
ence report on the sundry civil bill. At
10:20 o’clock the signature of the vice
president to the sundry civil bill was
offered. The joint resolution for final
adjournment at 11 o’clock was agreed to.
A committee was appointed to join a like
eammittee on the part of the house to
aait on the president and inform him
that the two houses were ready to ad¬
journ. At 11 o’clock tbe senate ad¬
journed sine die.
NOTES.
The $2,500,000 world’s fair bill went
through the house Friday by a larger ma¬
jority than any one had anticipated.
The vote was 131 to 83. It was immedi
ately sent to the senate and .pursed by that
body after brief debate. The preside t
signed the bid Friday night, and thus
the world’s fair comes out partially vic¬
torious.

A special of Saturday says: Although

victorious re-election upon their cheeks,
but many will bring with them sad tid
I 'eSing thdrfirs^and “ermsVahle
j statesmen. There were less than a bun
dred members in the capitol Saturday
morning. They went to P 5 ’ 0 ^ up the.r
books preparing to leave. Almost every
member of the house of both parties call- and
ed to bid Speaker Crisp goodby,
every mm thanked him for hi? fairness
and absolute impartiality. Even Tom
Re«d himself was one of the number
“G odbye, Mr. Sp> aker,” he said, when
he entered Speaker Crip’s room, “We
have no complaint to make. Indeed,
you are a pretty clever set of fellows,
after all.” The democratic in' mbers
overwhelmed the speaker with their cievi r
expressions and good wishe- 1 , a d almost
every one of them ad led: “Well, I am
for you against anybody all for speaker next
time.” Indeed, the bitterness of the
speakership contest died out m nths ago,
and the men who fought the Georgian
hardest are now among hi? mo»t enthusi¬
astic atlmirers and aelvocate?. If the
next house is democratic he will be the
unanimous choice of the democratic cau¬
cus for speaker.
Report of the Watson Liirestitf ating Com¬
mitter.
The Watson investigating committee
reported Friday. The report declares
that the committee has no hesitation in
declaring that the charges construed in
the sense in which they are made are
false and libelous under the s rictcst
legal definition of those terms; that the
evidence was overwhelming that there
was nothing to justify the imputation
made against Mr. Cobb. The facts, are,
the r. port will say, that three aud possi¬
bly four members appeared on the floor,
more or less under the influence of liquor,
but none iu the condition de¬
scribed in the charge. The com¬
mittee will report a res dutiou de
c aring that the charges made by Watson
are not true and constitute an unwar¬
ranted assault upon the houor and dig¬
nity of the house and have the unquali¬
fied disrpproval of the house. Mr.
Grout, republican, submitted a report
fully concurring in the linking of the
majority that Mr. Cobb was not iu a
state of intoxication while discussing the
Noyes-Rockwell election case, and saying
that tho charge that “drunken members
have reeled about the aisle” is wholly
unsupported by the truth. lie thinks
that in view of the facts brought out by
the investigati'n, Mr. Watson should
withdraw the offending statements, but
if, on the presentation of the matt r
to the house. Mr. Watson should
decliue to retract or modify the state¬
ments published in his book, then he
recommends the adoption of the resolu¬
tion reported by the majority. Repre¬
sentative Simpson, Farmers’ Alliance,
submitted a minority report dissenting
from the views of the majority an ex¬
onerating Watson. He quoted from Uie
testimony of the alliance members and
others before the committee in support of
his (Simpson’s) conteniion that Watson’s
charges had foundation in fact. The
report was not considered in the house.
It was simply offered and ordered print
id on account of adjournment. No for¬
mal action by the house will be taken
until next session.
Scotch Plan of Making the Eye Clear.
It was Houdin, the great French ma¬
gician, who method early of called training attention children to the
proper to develop in them quickness of so as
tion, and the of appreciating percep¬
power at a
glance the relations of objects in every
day life. In training the mind of lxisson,
it was the practice of M. Houdin to ac¬
company him to some business street,
and, placing the boy before a shop win¬
dow, allow him one glance at its con¬
tents. The boy upon being turned from
the window was asked to describe what
he had seen. In the earlier of these ob
jeet lessons it was a difficult matter tc
remember more than one article in a well
filled window, but by degrees the power
of oped perception became so acutely devel¬
that it became possible for him to
name not only the various goods shown,
but to describe their form, quality of the
fabric, and minute details as to color,
arrangement and general appearance of
the object.
At the Allen Glenn’s School, Glasgow 7 ,
Scotland, the principal has arranged an
appliance, resembling in principle the ex¬
periments of Houdin, which is used to
some purpose in encouraging sharp in¬
dividual effoit in observation and com¬
prehension pression. and This in verbal or consists pictorial ex¬
board is made appliance of a
that to revolve. On this
board are placed some articles, on one
Bide of which some letters dots and fig¬
ures are painted. At a signal the board
revolves, and the pupils must brace them¬
selves up to grasp the words, note the
figures, or count the dots. After gradu¬
ated preliminary exercises of this kind
the pupils are trained to catch a sentence,
run up a sum of several digits, or repre
sent on paper the various markings on the
board.
If a boy cannot make or procure a re¬
volving board, he can have all the benefit
of the trick by the assistance of another
boy, avIio turns slowly in his hands a
large ind wooden ball upon which the letters
figures are drawn. Other objects may
be substituted for the ball, and in a short
:imc the boy will be astonished at tho
result of his practice.
AN American irom Boston nas reacneu
Paris on a voyage around the w r orld “per¬
sonally conducted” by himself under en¬
tirely novel circumstances. His avowed
object is to complete the -whole trip with¬
out the expenditure of any money what¬
ever, and, according to his own statement,
he has already crossed the ocean and
visited England and Germany in accord¬
ance with the conditions of his self-im¬
posed task, which also contains the
stipulation that he must do no work on
the voyage. Needless to say that our
traveller’s rather unusual methods do not
meet with the approval of all the hotel
keepers whom he honors with his custom,
and in Berlin he underwent one month’s
imprisonment for failing to pay his bill,
The only wonder is that t nis unusual
kind of traveller does not spend most ol
his time in jail, but, needless to say, he
is gifted with an unlimited supply ol
what may be best described as “self-con¬
fidence,” and is a past-master in the pe¬
culiarly American art of “bluffing.” As
he himself puts , it, ,
a man is laugh I’ve got him!” and certainly
there a sublime assurance about his
system which must force a smile eveD
from his victims. Our circumnavigator
has, of course, not set himself any par¬
ticular route for his voyage, as he if
dependent with on “free what passes,” he and has to
be content can get in that
direction.
After much exhaustive and conscien¬
tious figuring a scientific man has dis¬
covered that the influence of waves and
storms upon the earth is so destructive
and remorseless that in about six million
years the entire surface of the earth will
be covered with water. If he thinks
this sort of yarn is going to scare anyone
he is very much mistaken. Long before
that time there will have been so many
improvements in the construction of
yachts aud houseboats that everyone
would rather live afloat than ashore.
Still better, the fishing season will then
