Kidd’s long sought treasure. Kidd, however, ivas hanged in 1701. A treasure seeking fever has broken out at Chap¬ paqua. The Use of Perfume in Rattle. Perfume seems destined, observes the New York Tribune, to play an im portaut part in the wars of the future. In the sham fight which took place in the presence of the Emperor William the other day near Portsmouth, the advance of the attacking force was concealed by means of the newly-in vented smoke balls. Their success, however, must bo regarded as open to discussion. For the aroma of tlicir fumes was so powerful that the ad¬ vancing soldiers were compelled to keep one hand tightly clasped to their nose in order to avoid the danger of suffocation. This naturally impaired the efficacy of their rifle aud bayone practice. Since then it appears to have dawned upon the military au¬ thorities of the Old World that it might be preferable to asphyxiate the enemy, rafter than their own troops; .and a Viennese scientist has accord “gly invented a bomb, which, more tiCao gent than the celebrated stink-pots , J A tlic ancient Greeks, deprives of onsciousncss for the space of several hours every person who is unfortun¬ ate enough to be within 500 yards of . the spot where it explodes. The Weight of Dollar Bills. Do you know hew many one-dollar bills it takes to weigh as much ns a twenty-doliar gold piece? Driving out to White Bear recently ono of those walking compendiums of useful information sprung the above query, and the opinions that it elicited show a remarkable range. One member of the party, whose business it is to han¬ dle money in large sums, after pro¬ found thought suggested that the num¬ ber would be from 1000 to 1200. Others guessed down the line to 600, but no less than that number. After all had placed themselves on record, the compendium stated that the num¬ ber of bills was thirty or thirty-one, according to their condition as to dirt¬ iness and age.—[St. Paul Pioneer Press. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Tlravel is the royal road to learning, Innocence is ever and over credo. lont. The synonym of hue politeness is •olf-abnegation, It is generally honest people, not knaves, who make blunders. « Love, which is so limited in possi¬ bility, is yet infinite in desire. Those persons can least bear re¬ proof who are the most ready to give it. Scandal, like little cherubs, is all head and wings.—[M. M. Ballou, in Boston Cultivator. The poor hare a sauce unknown to the rich, and which money will not purchase—hunger. When love starts in business he takes a silent partner, Credulity, who supplies the working capital. Generosity is not to be measured by intrinsic values, but the spirit which dictates it. Tho richest gifts may yet be niggardly; the humblest, regal. Excessive evil or extreme good nat¬ urally wear themselves out. Reaction is a law of nature as certain as that of gravitation, and the power which has leached its acme will gradually sub¬ side, be it for weal or woe. Some Big Things. Tho notoriety and success of the Eiffel Tower have directed the atten¬ tion of an intelligent writer to some of the biggist things on earth, both in nature an science. He has compiled a long and elaborate catalogue of the world’s big things In a paper bristling with figures and statistics, from which we cull a few interesting items, omit¬ ting the intricate details. The largest theatre is the new Opera house in Paris. The largest sus¬ pension-bridge is that between New York city and Brooklyn. The long¬ est span of wire is used for a tele¬ graph in India over the River Kistnoh. The longest tunnel is that known as St. Gothard, between Lucerne and Milan. The largest library is the Bib liotheqne in PariB. The greatest pyramid is that of Cheops, one of the Memphis group. The largest monolith is the obelisk at Karnak. The largest bell in tho world is the great bell at Moscow, at the foot of the Kremlin. The greatest fortress, from a strategical point of view, is that of Gibraltar. The loftiest active volcano is the “Smoking Mountain” of Mexico. The largest cavern is the “Mammoth Cave” in Kentucky. The largesttrees are the mammoth trees of California. The largest desert is that of Sahara. The largest inland sea is the Caspian, and the largest body of fresh water on the surface of the globe is Lake Supe¬ rior. Alkali for Rabies. In the account prepared by Dr. Bright of Kentucky of his treatment of vnrious cases of hydrophobia he expresses the opinion that if the blood of tho person bitten is kept in an alkaline condition for several weeks the virus of rabies is by this means de¬ stroyed or rendered inert. It lias long been known that the ammonium alkali is an antidote to the virus of poisonous reptiles if injected into the circulation immediately after the infliction of the bite. It is remarked, however, that in tho cases of children it would be more convenient to administer the chloride or acetate of ammonia, owing to the pungency of the carbonate, some care being also required in keep¬ ing the latter without a loss of any of its virtues, on account of its great volatility. It is thought that after the first day or two it would not be neces¬ sary to exhibit tho remedy at shorter intervals than, say, every six hours for three or four weeks; this would, it is believed, sufficiently alkalize blood to neutralize or destroy the rabie poison. K An Oriental Anaesthetic. A curious anaesthetic used by the Chinese has recently been made known by Dr. U. Lambeth in bis third annual report of the Sooehow hospital. It is obtained by placing a frog in a jarof flour and irritating it by prodding it. Under these circum¬ stances it exudes a liquor which forms a paste with the flour. This paste dis¬ solved in water has well marked nna'sthctic properties, After the finger has been immersed in the liquid for a few minutes it can be cut to the bone without any pain being felt.— [Commercial Advertiser. One on the Judge. The jury brought in a verdict ol “not guilty.” The judge said admonishingly to the prisoner: “After this you ought to keep away from bad company.” “Yes, your honor, You will not see me again in a hitrry.”—[Chatter. Canada's Undbuovereil Country. Dr. Dawson of the Canadian Geo logical Survey say* that nearly a mil lion square miles in that country, or about one-eighth of the total area of this continent, are us yet practically unknown. The annual reports of the geological survey and interior depart¬ ment of Canada have a peculiar inter¬ est from the fact that they are to a considerable extent records of original discovery. The greater part of the Canadian northwest is well known only along its water courses, and some of the explorers of the scientific bu¬ reaus are now push-jog away from the rivers and lakes to map the regions lying between thcRi. In the large region embraced be¬ tween Great Fish 1 Iver on the north, Gicat Slave and JLthabaska lakes on the wcRt, Iteiudeer and Hatchet lakes on the south, and Hudson bay on the east, we find on the- maps a large num¬ ber of rivers and big and little lakes. It is a curious fact that all these rivers and lakes have a place on the maps on the authority of only ono man, Mr. Hearne, who wandered for three years through this region over 120 years ago. We may infer from the changes that Canadian explorers have been making in the maps of other regions, tha) these rivers and lakes will probably appear uuder a quite different aspect when modem exploration reaches them. The largest unexplored area in Can¬ ada is the interior of Labrador, almost three hundred thousand square miles, for mapping tbe larger part of which wc have scarcely any information at all except Eskimo reports; and yet, if these reports are in any degree trust¬ worthy, there are many interesting discoveries to be made in inner Labra¬ dor, including the big waterfalls of the Grand river, reputed to be tbe highest in the world, which no white man has yet v’-sjled. It will be a long lime before out own continent ceases to furnish freih geographical news. —[Commercial Advertiser. Chire«e Executions. The folloV?jyg is the manner in which execufwos in China arc fixed. In other courlpies the criminal knows beforehand the day of his death, and has time to prepare for his fate. Rut in China all ?s different. Had the He. brew proplir'.s lived in that country they would certainly have chosen an execution as tbe emblem of sudden destruction. At Pekin the vermilion pencil marks tij; death warrant, which is immediately handed to a courier, who instantly mounts a horse and rides off to his destination. 'The posts sup¬ ply fresh t.orsej, and he goes onward, sleeping and eating in his saddle, never halting by day er night, in suns nine or rain. After riding 700 miles lie reaches fioo-Chaw and delivers tho warrant to the Governor. Three messengers arc immediately dispatched, one to the district magis¬ trate who presides at the execution and who repaits at once to the place, a sec¬ ond to tlx? camp for an escort, and the third to the jail. The victims are bound, dragged before the image of the Lord of Hades, which is in the prison, aril pay their respects. They arc then placed in cages, carried on coolies’ b.’icks, and nt a rough trot the cortege sets out for the execution ground. The nerve and blade of one executioner is never trusted in Soo Cliovv to teke off' more than three or four heads. If there is a greater number of criminals assistants are em¬ ployed. There arc generally from fifty to one hundred executions per annum in Soo-Chow, where all the criminals of the Province of Klang Soo, with a population of 21,000,000, are executed. They are mostly pirates. — [New York Dispatch. California Figs. * A Shasta County (Cal.) correspon Mnt says: AU varieties of the white, Been, yellow, brown and black figf |fer planted in this northern end ol Bjjc fed Sacramento Valley are an unquali success. They all yield two crops per year and would bear the second year if permitted. The first profit¬ able crop is the fourth year, after which the yield increases rapidly. Tbe cuttings aro usually set in nursery row the first year and transplanted in into the orchard the second. The trees soon grow to a large size and yield heavy crops. No protection it given here to peach orchards, The figs are cured in the sun and could not be of bettev flavor. Most all our horticulturists consider the white Adriatic the most profitable variety. The brown Turkey is also held in high favor. The lowest tem¬ perature ever known here was twenty degrees above zero; this, couple! with the fact that the heavy frosti only come in December, January and Feb¬ ruary, combine to make this one of tin very best sections for fig culture. —[Picayune. LINCOLN’S MELANCHOLY.

Those acquainted with him from boyhood knew that early griefs tinged his whole life with sadness. His partner in the grocery business at Salem, waa “Unde" Billy Green, of customers Tallula, III., who used at night, when the while Liaooln were few, to hold tho grammar recited his lessons. It was to h's sympathetic ear Lincoln told the story of bis love for sweet Ann Rutlidge; and he, in return, offered what comfort ho could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly broke. “After Ann died ," says “Uncle’ Billv, “on stormy against nights, the roof, when Abe tbe would wind blew the rain set ttaar in tha grocery, bis elbows on bis knees, his face in his hands, and the tears ‘runnin’ through his fingers. ‘Abe I don't hated cry;’ to see him feel had, an’ Td say, and he’d look up an’ say, ‘I can't help it. Bill, the rain's a tailin’ on her.’ ” There are many who can sympathize with this overpowering grief, os they think of a lost loved one, when “the rain’s a failin’ on her.” What adds po nancy to the grief sometimes is the thorn t that the lost one might have been saved? Corona, Fortunate, L. I., indeed, builder, is William Johnson, of a who writes June 28, 1890: “Last February, on returning from church ono night, my daughter complained of gradually having extended a pain in her ankle. Tho pain until her entire limb was swollen and very painful to the touch. Wo called » physician, who after careful exam¬ ination, pronounced it disease of the kidneys of long standing. All we could do did not seem to benefit her until we tried Warner’s Safe Cure; from the first sho commenced to improve. When she commenced taking it ■be could not turn over in bed, and oould last move her hands a little, but to-day she Is os well as she ever was. I believe I owe the recovery of my daughter to its use." Useful Notes, Powdered borax mixed with a little powdered sugar and scattered about in spots will prove sure death to cockroaches and to ants, and if that is not handy, a fewdrops of spirits of turpentine sprinkled the here and there will be as effective in case of these nuisances as in the case of moths. To clean corsets, take out the steels at front and sides, then scrub them thor¬ oughly with tepid laiher of white castile soap, using a very small scrubbing brush. Do not lay them in water. When quite clean let cold water run on them freely from tho faucet, to rinse out the soap thoroughly. Dry them without ironing (after pulling lengthwise till they are straight and shapely) in n cool place. To piake tins shine, wash in hot soap¬ suds, dip a dampened cloth in fine sifted coal ashes, then polish with dry ashes. Common salt will clean and open a drain pipe. A few cups full should be placed in such pipes at least twice a month. Coffee and tea pots become discolored on the interior in a very short while. To prevent this—about every two weeks, put into them a teaspoonful of soda, and fill them two-thirds full of water; let boil two hours. Wash and rinse well before using. In this way they will always be sweet and clean. To remove ants from r. closet, the most efficacious method is to grease a tin-plate with lard, and place it on the closet floor under the shelves. The ants will seek the lard in preference to anything will else, and in a little while the plate be covered with them, when they can be de¬ stroyed and the plate returned fornnother capture. Buy fine copper wire by the pound for hanging pictures. It does not cost half what a twitted wiie or cord does and looks much better. Paste light mauilla paper over the back of the picture it frame not already protected, as effectually prevents dust from reaching the pictures. The Theatres of New York New York has twenty-eight which theatres; is the gross seating capacity of hundreds over 50,000 people. There are of concert, music and lecture halls all over the city; two-thirds of which are used every night. It is safe to estimate the total capacity of the various places of amusement in the metropolis at night 150,000. in the Over $75,000 aro spent every musical big city for theatrical and enter¬ tainment. The new Madison Square Garden is the largest place of amusement; next comes the Academy, where “The Old Homestead” is a peimanent attrac¬ tion, then the Metropolitan Opera House and Niblo’s, where the great spectacular production of “Nero” is to occur October 20th. __________ FITS stopped free by Dr. Kline’s Great Nerve Restorer.
