What a harvest of bones will lie gathered! It seems that the Atlanta people refused to worship God according to the dictates of their Mayor. Their independence is to 1 o commended. Mayors arc not elected to de cide religious questions. New Yorkers are talking of erecting a “soldiers'monument” to cost SIOO,OOO. It would be well for them to finish their pres ent undertakings in the monument lino be fore engaging in another. The Salvation Army lassies have de parted for Atlanta, but they failed to take the bass drum with them. What makes their failure worse is the sail fact that tho hole in the drum has been closed. Queen Kapiolani is on her way back to this country. She declares that she had a good deal of fan at the jubilee and only re grets that she was compelled to occupy a chased carriage in the grand jubilee proces won. A negro preacher in a South Georgia county asked his congregation, tho other day, for a short vacation. An old sister ob jected, giving as a reason “dat do debil neb ber takes no holt-relay, but Logit in hiswu’li e'vy minute.” At Louisville, the other day, a cow- walked into the millinery store of Mrs. Josephine Freer.tz. and four policeman had all they could do in putting her out. She doubtless followed the insticts of feminine nature and went in to obtain points on tho latest fash ions. Tho New York Tribune insists that the Southern press lias been very much “moved’’ by the captured flags episode. Yes, “moved” to laughter at the ridiculous failure of the Tribune and its allies to provoke the Houth ern people into giving serious attention to a matter about which they care but little. The tenth annua! meeting of the Ameri can Bar Association will be held at Saratoga Springs on Aug. IT, IS and 10. Thomas J. Semmos, of Ixiuisiana, the President, will deliver the opening address. Among the iiilien- to be rend will Li one by Henry lackson, Esq., of Atlanta, the subject being; “Indemnity the Essence of Insurance; Evil Consequences of legislation Qualifying this Principle.” It should be remembered that levi Bacon, th-- late financial clerk of flu- Interior Dtv pai tinent. was not appointed by the present administration. It should also be remoin bered that the lU-ptihlioau organs are not loud in their comments ujkhi Bacon’s “shortage." This is in keeping with the policy of the organs. They always make desperate attempts to conceal the misdeeds if Republican ofllee-holdei-s. Americans in London say that Mr. Blaine is a mystery. They claim that hesjiewls his time hobnobbing with the nobility, and that he shows but little interest in people of less note, including his American fellow citizens. There is no cause for wonder, llr. Blaine did not go all the way across the Atlantic to •how interest in common people, lie re serves that kind of thing for his political stock in trade when he is at home. It is not often that news comes from the tomb, but lien- is a bit from Fremont, 0., tbe resting place of the late Rutherford B. Hayes: He has, it seems, just pur chased a team of coal-black horses. They are described as “high-steppers.” The price is not made public, but it is undoretood that they cost a large sum. The interesting an- Bounoement is also mode tliut tho defunct statesman's chickens are doing exceedingly well. Gen. Wolseley, who wrote a review of Gen. Long's “Life of Gen. Lee,” which Was published in MacMillan's Magazine, and widely copied by tho American press, has written a letter to Gen. C. G. Dahlgrcen, of Mississippi, replying to some criticism* of the review by Gen. Sherman and attacks upon it by Jefferson Davis. The let ter deals courteously with Gen. Sherman and rather ■everely with Mr. Davis. It will hardly be forgotten, however, thut Gen. W'olseiev’s article was very severe upon Mr. Davis, and that the latter was justified in attacking it as he did. Middle Florida Railroads, j Everything is now progressing very fa i vorably for the projected railroad eonnec | tions between Thomasville, Ga., and Tal j lalißKi.ee and Monticello, Fla. There Is r.o icas.ui to doubt that the connections will j la l completed within n year. Mr. McLendon, I of Thoinasvillo, liad a conference with ! Genera! Manager Haines, of the Savannah. • Florida and Western railway yesterday, which was entirely satisfactory. The engineer of the Saavniuih, Florida imd Western railway will give his attention at once to the line from Thomasville to the Georgia State line, and so soon as the right of way is ob tained the contracts for grading will be lot. it can bo stated with considerable certainty that the letting of contracts will not be de layed beyond August 1. From the Georgia State line one branch will lie. built to Monticello and another to Tallahassee. According to the agreement these branches are to be graded by the nlmve named towns. Monticello has about $ IS,OOO already in bank to apply to the grading of her branch and Tallahassee has about $40,000 to lie used for a like purpose on her branch. Of course these sums will not he sufficient to do the work, but no ap prehension is felt that either of the towns will fail to perform her part of the agree merit. As soon as they are informed of tho routes of their respective lines they will see to it that the funds are forthcoming to do the grading. It may be that they are a little impatient at the delay, but it is beneficial to them lie cause it enables tho engineer to give a more thorough study of the country to be trav ersed, and so locate the lines as to impose ujkju them the least possible burden in the shape of the cost of grading. When the work is once begun it will doubtless be pushed forward vigorously. From present indications it can tie safely predicted that within twelve months trains will lie running from Thomasville to Monti eello and Tallahassee, and that ono of the finest sections of Florida, which has been, in a measure, overlooked by those who have sought homes in that .State, because it lacks the means of communicating quickly with the markets of the world, will have excellent railroad fa eilities, and will rival other and better known parts of the State in its attractions for settlors. It is not too much to say that the proposed roads will have tributary to them some of the choicest lands of Florida, and that Tallahassee and Monticello will soon b* numbered among the most prosper ous towns of the South. Drummers’ License Fees. The merchants in the great commercial cities who have paid a drummers’ tax in various towns in different parts of the coun try propose to got their money back if they can. The United States Supreme Court, re cently declared this tax to he unconstitu tional, anil tho merchants who have paid it are advised that they can recover ail they have ]uiid. The decision of the Supreme Court was rendered in a Tennessee case, and as it covers about all possible jioints, it looks as if the merchants had a chance of recovering a very handsome sum of money. Home idea of the amount collected from drummers throughout the entire country may he ob tained from the amount that has been collect e l in the District of Columbia. In ISBI it was $40,000, though the average in subsequent years was about SIO,OOO. Probably the whole amount would not fall far short of $1.50,000. When it is remembered that the tax was pretty generally imposed, and that it was collected for quite a number of years, it will besom that it is not a small sum that the merchants propose to make an effort to got. If suits are begun against all the small towns which have collected the tax n good many lawyers will have their business increase 1. It is doubtful, however, if a demand will be made upon any but the larger cities for a return of the tax. Signs of Improvement. To the careful observer, traveling on tho railroads of this Stats-, many changes fur tho better nre noticeable. Comfortable farm houses are being built, uml in many instances they are rendered attractive by well kept lawns and flower gardens. It is also noticeable tliut more attention is L-ing given to vegetable gardens. Better barns and other outbuildings nre L-ing erected which fact indicates that more care is being given to stock, and to protecting hay and grain from tho weather. These evidences of improvement in the country are gratifying. They show that the spirit of progress is not confined to the towns. The farmer, ns a rule, may not he very prosperous, but it is evident that he is not going backward or standing still. Tho numerous com fields which are to be seen from the ear window creates the impression that more corn has been planted this year than ever before. If this impression is cor rect the fanner is la-ginning to understand that diversified crops promise better results than the one crop system. He secs that the practice of buying all of his sup plies is ruinous, and lie is gradually abandoning it. When ho reaches the jxiiut of producing as much corn, wheat, bacon, etc., us will supply his own wanks he will be much more prosperous than he is at present. But cotton still remains tho chief, und, in too many instances, the sole reliance of tho farmer. The cotton crop along the rail roads looks well, and if it is as promising away from the lines of travel it will L> n good one. The point to which it is desired to call attention, however, is that the funn ing districts of the State show improvement und that all the progress is not in the towns. An ex-Confedcrate at Rio Grande City, Tex., writes to the Galveston .Voii-x sug gestlng that all ex-Confedi-mtes join in a petition to tlm Governors of tho Southern States to return to the Secretary of War at Washington “the smallest proofs in their possession of tho valor of our Southern armies against our Northern brethren with tbe compliments of the soldiers of the late Confederate States." Now, then, let us see how this proposition will be received by tho Republican organs. Here is another suggestion about the cap tured flags: The IVu’otfe, tile Washington organ of the veterans of the Mexican war, wants all the battleflags now in the posses sion of the Heen-tary of War to be buried in a sunken vault “at the capital of tho ua tion," and a suitable monumenterected over them dedicated to national reconciliation. Perhaps if the consent of Gen. Fail-child and the belligerents r, f the U. A. R., can be ob tained, Congress may lie induced to consider tho suggestion. It is said that when Itoscoe Conkling goes driving in Central Park, New York, be carries his law reports and briefs with him, gets Into a shady corner, and reads. Like many other Americans, he works while lie rests. TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JULY 5, 1887. A Chance for Patriotipm and Profit. The* cutting down of forests in the South by the owners of saw mills is opening up large tracts of cheap lands, which are gradually being turned into forms. The larger portion of these lands will produce cotton, corn, fruits and vegetables, and, where fertiliz'd, will make as good crops as Western lands. The mill men still hold large tracts from which the trees havo boon cut. It wpuld seem that it would not lie a bad plan for them to form a syndicate for the purpose of placing at least a portion of their holdings on tho market. Many in-ui in the North and West would avail themselves of thc opportunity thus afforded to secure homes in tho South, where tho climate permits out-of-door work the whole year, where crops are certain, and where the rigors of bleak winters may be escaped. Last year a well-to-do farmer from North ern Ohio came to this section of Georgia and leased a tract of land as an experiment His experience has been so satisfactory that ho has decided to soli his farm in Ohio and spend the remainder of bis days here. Ho also intends to try to induce a number of his neighbors in Ohio to follow his example. To the farmers and mechanics of the North and West the South must look for the in crease of iks white population. The un skilled immigrant from Europe cannot com pete with the negro in the lower kinds of labor, and therefore will not. forthe present at least, come South. To the Northern or Western man. however, who is looking for cheap lands, and who has the means to estab lish himself, the South offers inducements un equaled by those of nny other country in the world. For immigrants of this class tlig lands arc here, but there should be some organization, so that the lands may lie properly placed before those who would like to buy them. The Morning News knows of no men better able to form such an organization than the mill and lumber men of the South. They own the lands, for which they have no further use, and they Imve the capital and business training neces sary to make such an undertaking a success. This question is worthy of their considera tion. not only as a matter of patriotism, but as one of profit. Industrial Progress. The New York Timex publishes an extract from a letter written by a gentleman who is interested in an iron company at Anniston, Ala. It has a representative character, and will serve ns a safe commentary on South ern industrial affairs. There was never a period In the history of iron making at Anniston, the gentleman says, when the production was so large and uniform as during the past four months. There was a demand for all the iron that could be male, and several thousand tons ahead were sold. The shipments took every ear the railroads could supply, and not as many cars as were needed were furnished. At present, notwithstanding iron is selling at a low price, the two furnaces of the eoni )>auy are earning over $120,000 a year. Two new coke furnaces are being rapidly erected. On a yearly pro lu -' ioa o! 75,00) tons, which is 25,0)0 tons less than their estimated capacity, they will earn net $200,00), putting earnings on a basis of the lowest price for iron reached in tho Cincinnati market since ISOO. This would bring the minimum earning capacity of the entire property to over 12 per cent, a year. In such a business as the gentleman de scribes there is no fictitious boom. Tho company does not want to sell out, but is managing its property as an investment. This being true, the company's earnings furnish’ a fair illustration of Southern progress. It is doubtful if any other section of the country can make such an exhibit. Whenever there shall be the same progress in agriculture as there is in industrial affairs, the South’s prosperity will not only he as great, as could lie desired, but it will be permanent. The New York Tribune says that Senator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, has a great aversion to being made the subject of a newspaper interview. He says that what ever a public men wishes to say to the pub lic should be put over his own signature. Whenever a reporter attempts to mako in quiries of the Senator the replies are n long series of blanks. A New York reporter in treduced himself to tho Senator recently for the fifteenth time. “Have I met you be fore. I’’ 1 ’’ asked tho latter. “Certainly,” re plied the reporter, “I have met you a groat many times.” “Well, Ido not care to bo interviewed, and you must not quote me,” said the Senator. Just then Uriah Painter, the old Washington correspondent, came up and began asking the Senator questions about the interstate commerce law and its operations in Massachusetts. Painter’s inquiries were for his own per sonal benefit. The Senator, however, had seen him in conversation a few minutes be fore with the reporter, and conceived the idea that Painter was engaged in some kind of a scheme to draw him into a trap and secure an expression of his opinion for publication without his consent. It look Painter fifteen minutes to remove this im pression from the Senator’s mind. There is something wrong about the man who re fuses to talk with reporters. A correspondent sends tho Louisville Courier-Journal this interesting bit of gos sip about “Betty and tbe baby": “After months of ill-health the handsome young wife of Gen. Buckner is rapidly regaining strength. And the baby! The young Simon Bolivar is tho finest specimen of a Kentucky baby that could Ik- shown. He is 11 months old and weighs nearly thirty pounds. His placidity of temjier and tho cool way in which he receives compliments and flattery aro not excelled by Mrs, Clovelond herself. He revives homage nshis due, and if the baby is to bo the new element in )H)lities, then Simon Bolivar tho Second is the worthy standiusl bearer. His nurse was askc 1 .if he was frightened by the cheers which greeted Him when she carried him in the convention. Tho question wns retvivod almost as an indignity, and she answered proudly; ‘No, he liked it.’” No doubt Gen. Buckner rejoices in the jiosses sion of “IJotty and the Imby," for their in fluence is doing much to make him Gover nor of Kentucky. Tho last volume of the United States cen sus reports for the year ISBO was issued a few days ago. It is now almost tiin-- for the next census to lie taken. Some plan ought to lie devised by which the reports may be issued earlier. Perhaps the employ ment of a larger forco of compilers might accomplish the object. The statement is made that tbe number of eases of infanticide in Boston is alarming. The perpetrators should bo ferreted out and severely punished. Infanticide is a crime too heinous to be toicrutod. CURRENT COMMENT. They Have a Very Sickly Cast. From the Galveston Xews, ( Dent.) The Cincinnati Commercial Grzette has learned “from a number of Senator Sherman's I supporters in Cincinnati that more decisive ! measures must bo taken to promote his Presl j dential interests." It would seem so. They ; have at present a very sickly cast. They Must Have Blood. From *'m- Missouri Republican (Deni.) Republican forgery forced Mr. Jefferson Da vis to break the decorous silence he was main taining on the flag incident. He writes to plead for peaqe, but he might hive known tnat the Tuttles and Halsteads must have blood to drink to keep their consumptive, party alive. What tho Republican Party Needs. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, (Dem.) The Louisville Cnirier-Jonrnnl suggests that if the Republicans propose to make their presi dential fight on the flag issue the man they want is Sergeant Bates. "He li;ik carried th** flag everywhere.” it says, “and lie has brought it back. <>n the flag issue, pure and simple. Bates could g**t more votes North and South than any one else." The only objection that might Ih* urged to this is that Sergeant Bates is dead, but that is no objection in this case. In the present condition of the Republican party a dead candi date seems to be what it needs. “The Traffic in Sectional Hate.” From the New York Times (Pep.) “While those who fought and who have so much to forgive lead fn the pleasant ways of peaoe, how wicked appear the traffic in sec tional hate and the bctrayul of patriotic senti ment.” These words of'the President of the United States, combining the loftiest patriotism with a sober censure of recent intemperate utterances concerning the rescinded hattleflag order, “frenzied appeals to passion for unworthy purposes,” will confirm and extend the feel ing of confidence and respect which is enter tamed for him by a vast majority of the people of this country. They are the words of a man who conceives for patriots a nobler duty than the systematic treasuring up of the memories and the visible symbols of civil strife, a mop? useful occupation than the frequent and fiery irritation or principles which none dispute, ana which are nowhere more heartily and fully recognized than among those whose defeat established them forever.

From the New York Evening Sun. “Eggs begin to come from the South in January,” said a Dey street dealer, “and they run up just like shad and strawberries. \ few come from Texas. There is big money in the business there if it is developed. But it isn’t worked up yet. North Carolina starts in first. In about four weeks afterward we get some lroin Washington, which come from the Shen andoah Valley. Then comes the Eastern shore eggs.” "Which next?” • Pennsylvania, and then come Ohio. West Virginia and Kentucky. Ohio usually drops in a month after North Carolina, but this year she was even with her." "Which are next in the procession?” "Th** Far West and Southwest, by way of Kansas and St. Louis. Then lowa and Illinois. After them come Northern Indiana, Minnesota, Dakota, Northern lowa, and Michigan. We get some—not many from Dakota.” "How about New York?” "This State Ims so many large towns that most of her eggs are consumed in the interior markets. After they get through pickling, however, New York dealers send ns some fresh eggs in the summer. Canada comes next to the Far West. Foreign eggs have been barred out this season because prices have been better in England. They took very well where they could be sold for enough less to make it an ob ject for people to use them.” “Why are Southern eggs so much smaller?” “That is because they adhere so much to the game fowl down there. The difference is not only in .size, but in the quality of the meat. The Cochins, Plymouth Rocks, or any other North ern breeds afford altogether more nutri ment in their eggs than the Southern fowl. The best way to ship is in free cases, with patent di viding pastelxiards unless the shipper is a very skillful packer, when the best way is to send them in barrels packed in cut straw.” "Is much pnekiing done?” "There an* firms in New York State that pickle from 100 to 1.009 barrels, KJO to a barrel. lowa has single picklers that put away from 000 to 5,000 barrels, and so has Minnesota. Chi cago has refrigerators that can hold6o,ooocases. In this city the refrigerators are only used in cases of emergency. But talk about pickling eggs. Germany takes the lead. There are some vats in this country that hold 25.000 eggs, but one German pickier lias a vat that holds 500 barrels, or 420,000 eggs. He pickles yearly from 75.000 to 100,000 barrels of eggs, or from <3:3,000,- 000 to $4,000,000 eggs. Throe Sides to a Story. From Town Topics. HER VERSION. “Who is Ned?” Why I thought that you knew* We once were engaged for a year! Oh. but that was before I knew you— That was ages ago. my dear. “Over cordial!” Now, Hubby, for shame! Such nonsense! Yes. tnat was his wife— Demure little thing, and so tame - Men do make such blunders in life. Ned was such a good-hearted fellow; “Devoted!" of course lie was then; Oh. you need not frown and turn yellow, I could have had a dozen men. One thing I will say. however, He’s unhappy, that I can see; Poor fellow! he probably never Quite conquered his passion for me. “Too poor!* yes. hut proud as a lord. When you enme—well you know the rest— Dear, you said you would take mo abroad; Yes, of course I loved you the best. HIS version. “Ned. who is that overdressed lady You greeted so warmly to day? What is it you’re keeping so shady? What is she to you anyway?” “That, lady—the wife of a banker (Thought her toilet remarkable fine); By the way, you ought to thank her, She was once on old flame of mine. I offered my congratulations; Nothing more, to tell you the truth; Our affair, mere infatuation. In the days of my callow youth. Was she fond of me? Well, she said so. Did I love her? We spooned for a year; Why didn't we marry ? Why, you kuow I met you and loved you. my dear. Of course we all knew that he bought her— Youth and beauty exchanged for pelf— What? If you weren't a rich mans daughter? My dear! I loved you for yourself!” THE TRUE VERSION. 'Twas the old, old story, repeated, of two young hearts that once beat as one; Their twin aspirations defeated, and their young lives forever undone. You think so? Well, you're sadly mistaken; they each had—a something to sell; Now each fancies the other forsaken, and both, yes they both “married well.” Concluded It Was Necessary. From the Dakota Bell. A number of years ago, during the grass hopper raids in Dakota and other parts of the West. Elder Blodgett held a series of revival meetings iu a small place in the southeastern part of the Territory, where the settlement then was chiefly confined. He had preached a pow erful sermon and had induced about two-thirds of the congregation to come forward and indi cate their desire to unite with the church. Fear ing that some might not fully understand the new duties the step would involve, he began to explain what they must not do in the future. "You must stou lyin' an' cheatin' an’ Sab bath-breakin’," ho said, "an' if any of you've !>een stealin' you've got to stop that, too. An' there must 1k no more covetin’, or neighbor hood quarrelin'. and no swearin'—” "Elder,” said a grizzled old fellow who was kneeling in front of the pulpit, as he raised his head, "ye say we m(isn't swear no more?” "That'B it- ye musn't swear a tall.” “Can’t we cuss the 'hoppers?” “No. sir.” “Well, that lets me out, then!” and he rose and started back. • Me too!” put in a dozen others as they began to get up. “Hold on," shouted the elder, as the fruits of bis labor began to vanish, “come back an' I reckon ye can swear 'bout the'hoppers a little! Cuss ’em quietly when there ain't nobody 'round, an' then pray that they won t come next summer. This is the third year they’ve been here, an' I low myself it's 'bout time we backed up our prayers with a little something kinder strong!'' The Yellow-Headed Boy. From the Chicago Tribune. On a suburban train not long ago a beautiful little fellow- with long yellow curls attracted much attention from the passengers by his bright questions to his mother and bis ready re sponse to the advances of the admiring specta tors. "How old are you, my little man?" asked a very swell youth in a tall silk hat, silver headed cane, and a very high collar. The little chap cocked his head ou one side and looked his ques tioner over rather doubtfully, evidently as to what sort of fish, flesh or fowl it was, but finally responded: “Five yoes.” "All," replied ihe swell youth, “and when were you 5?” The little mail cocked his head on the other side and took a long look at the swell youth. The result of his examination didn’t appunr to be entirely favorable, for ho suddenly assumed a very dignified and n >n committal air and turned to look out of the window, remarking* ‘*<>n my birthday, of cou’se." When the passen gers burst into a laugh of genuine mirth it seemed to strike the little fellow a.-* fuuny too, and after a look around the car he added a shrill littl? laugh to the chorus, looked knowingly at the swell young man, und then looked out ot the window again. From the Country. From the Boston Transcript. There was an odd incident at one of the sea shore places one day last week. A couple of ladies, who do not. live in Boston, and whose unpretentious way of life had perhaps led them to fear that they might lie looked down upon by Boston people, had taken board at a hotel much patronized by Bostonians of an excellent sort. Walking uhout the corridor of the house on the first evening after their arrival, and ob serving with un inter *st natural in new-comers the people about them, they happened t * ob serve two ladies standing in the corridor not far away. It struck tin* younger of the two new comers. who is a little short-bighted, that th**sc two ladies whom she saw in the corridor wore quite shabby in appearance, bhe turned to her companion and whispered: "well, I guess we can hold up our heads with this s*rt of people." The elder seized her handkerchief in a vain attempt to smother a hearty heigh They had been looking at their own reflection in a biz mirror. Cooling Her Off. From the AV/r York Sun. “Teaching, to me," said an enthusiastic young schoolma’am. "is a holy calling. To sow in tin* young mind the seeds of future knowledge, and watch them as they grow and develop is a pleasure greater than I can tell. I never weary of my work. I think only of—” "1 am very Sorry,” Interrupted the young man to whom si p want liking, "that you arc so de voted to your profession. Miss Clara. I had ho)Kvl t hat some day I might nek you in fact, 1 called to-night to but 1 hardly care to go on, in the light or what you—" “You may go on, Mr .Smith,” said the young lady softly, * Tin a little too enthusiastic at tunes, perhaps.” ITEMS OF INTEREST. Postmaster Graff, of Carson, recently re ceived a letter with the request that he ’‘hand it to any person who has hog cholera in his family.” It has not yet been delivered. It is said that whenever the wind blows stead ily from the south on June 21 the following three months will be characterized by extreme heat and frequent" thunder showers, It blew from the south on June 21 this year. It is believed the tunnels of the Northern Pa dfic railroad in Montana, where caves have ob structed travel this winter, will never be safe until they are arched with solid masonry, which will be an enormously expensive under taking. The rapidity with which a railroad builds up a section of country is demonstrated in the fact that there are now eleven towns on the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley railroad in Southern California, not one of which existed three months ago. The Utica (Mich.) Sentinel of a recent date contains the following card of thanks: “Loa Green tenders thanks to her Aunt Lerieh for nine yards of white and four yards of blue cheese doth, also one and a half dozen buttons purchased in New York for her graduating dress.” Some time Sunday night thieves removed the corner-stone of the new bt. John's Church at Omaha thinking that there was a number of valuable coins in the box. But in this they were fooled. The box was removed from the stone early in the evening and taken to the col lege for safety. An unruly fellow who was arrested in Boston escaped from his captor and sought a hiding place in a narrow space between two dwellings, where he was subsequently discovered so tightly wedged in that it was necessary to knock a hole through the wall from one of the rooms in order to extricate him. The State Historical Society of Wisconsin, which has been assiduously accumulating rebel lion and slavery literature for a quarter of a century past, and which has the reputation of having one of the finest collections of Mu? kind in the United States, has just issued a catalogue of its treasures. This comprises 1,617 titles of books, pamphlets and manuscripts of every sort. A oila monster has been sent to the St. Louis Zoological garden from Denver. This monster is a fifteen-inch lizard that is found in the dark, deep, out-of-the way caves and canons of Mon tana, and is different, from almost every other animal known to the scientists, save the eyeless fish of the Mammoth Cave. Jt cannot live in the sunlight, and its breath is said to be deadly. The following extract from recent legislative proceedings in the State of Missouri would in dicate that statesmen out there are apt at rep artee: First member—l can furnish a hatful of opinions; yes, sir, a hatful because I do not think your hat is very large. (Loud laughter and applause.) Second member My lmt may not be very large, but it covers brains, notmusli. (Shrieksot laughter and uproarious applause.; South African jurymen are not always very wise. qA girl was tried at the Riverside Circuit Court for administering poison to the family which she served. The first verdict returned was ••murder." “Impossible.” said the Judge, "no one has l>een killed!" The jury went back and returned a verdict of “suicide." "But the girl is still alive!" expostulated the Judge. On this th<* jury gave it up and returned a ver dict of "not guilty.” This was the way a country blacksmith was seen removing that portion of an ax handle that remained fti the eye, the break being close to the iron. The wood could not be driven out. and. as nails had been driven in at the end, could not be bored out. He drove the bit of sharp edge into some moist earth, and then built a fire around the projecting part. The wood was soon charred so that it was easily removed. The moist earth so protected the tempered part of the ax that it sustained no injury. Wagons are daily passing through Cisco, Tex., from the east, laden with household plunder and children. Two of them showed inscriptions on the. wagon sheets in bold but rude letters, one of them bearing, ‘ln God We Trusted, Went West and Got Busted." The other, with more sentiment, says, "Last Fall We Came from Baekin Sack, Got Sorry, and Now go Rackin Back." Each wagon coining from Arkansas is followed by a large number of dogs, yearlings, and colts, show ing that the trip has been favor able to the increase of live stock as well as chil dren. TnE Medical Society of Rhode Island is in formed by Dr. Swarts, of Providence, as the re sult of the latter’s study and experiments on various devices for filtering water at the mouth of the faucet, that the lest of them can only cleanse the water of possible microbes, or dis ease germs, for a few hours after their first ap plication: that after this time it is impossible thoroughly to clean the filter, and it becomes a place of deposit and accumulation of the germs themselves, which are liable to propagate at the ordinary temperature of kitchens at a very rapid rate. Thus tne filter is worse than none. II*? concludes that the only safety in the matter of water is to use that which is known to be pure, or, if this cannot Ik? known with certainty, to use only water that has been boiled and cooled with pure ice. The ice bag for seasickness is recommended in a general way by a correspondent of the Boston Transcript, who made twenty-six round trips, or fifty two tours, and was always seasick until the last time he went. His explanation of the exception is: "I took a rubber bag w ith me, some twelve inches long and four inches wide, with an iron clamp to close the mouth of the bag, and filled it with small pieces of ice every morning (the steward brought me the ice in a bowl;, and applied it on the spine, at the base of the brain, down Vet ween my shoulders, for say half to three-quarters of ail hour; or rather I lav on it. pressing it against the spine. This will, no doubt, seem a very harsh treatment, but, on the contrary, it has a most soothing effect, so that frequently I fell asleep while under it. and afterward felt braced up and ‘splendid’ for the day, enjoying every hour and every meal. Ido not advise every one to use this treatment; not at all, for my application was given under medical advice.” Proorehsivis Japan, says a writer on the sub ject, owns seventeen of the twenty-three ob servatories found in Eastern Asia, the other six being owned by England, France and Corea. There are seventeen meteorological observa tories in Japan. Of these fifteen are owned by the government and two by private persons. Through a soecial arrangement made with for eign countries these observatories are allowed to have three free telegraphic communications each day with every other observatory in the world. This privilege is enjoyed alike by the government and the private observatories Now it looks rather strange, but is nevertheless a fact, that the great Chinese Empire does not possess a single observatory. Fortunately there is one at Shanghai, owned by French men, and two more at llong-Kong and Amoy, both owned by Englishmen. By main taining communication with these three obser vatories the Japanese weather bureau is able to predict weather with tolerable accuracy. But as all of them lie on the southern coast of China, there is no way of finding out what kind of weather they nave in the interior of China ex cept niter long delay. In Corea t here are three observatories, of which one is in charge of the Japanese government, and the other two are under European officials in tlio Corean custom house. A number of Interesting experiments have just boon made with such electrical machines as arc employed in industries, with a view of deter mining under what conditions they may become dangerous, says a writer in the London Times. Those have been conducted by M. I>*Arsonvn), who has already established the fact that what is truly dangerous where these irmch mosaic used is the extra current that occurs at the mo ment the current is broken, and in order to an nul this extra current he proposed to Interpose u series of voltameters containing acidulated water along tlu* conducting wire.
