BITS OF INFORMATION. It was Dean Swift who said “Bread Is the staff of life.” The entire loss of the German armies in 1870-’7l was 53,000 men. Gunp owder is composed of potassio nitrate, charcoal and sulphur. Edwakd Young is the author of the line, “Death loves a shining mark.” The game of polo was introduced into the United States in 1876. The game originated among the British officers in India. The salary of the President is $50,000 a year ; Vice President, SB,OOO ; Cabinet officers, SB,OOO ; members of Congress, $5,000; Speaker of the House, SB,OOO. The custom of appointing men for pall-bearers comes from the Romans. Julius Caesar had magistrates for his pall-bearers. Augustus Caesar had Sen ators. Y irc how, an eminent German anato mist, Ims written a treatise on the well authenticated cases of human beings with tails, fie says an infant, born at Aldenburg, had a tail whose movements were under its control, though it was usually doubled up like a pig’s tail. The word “thoroughbred” does not mean an animal of pure blood, that is unmixed ; it is used to designate animals raised from the best blood, but origin ally derived from a mixture of races. A pure or full blood is an animal whose pedigree is clear, and which was bred without admixture from the same source, as a pure Clydesdale horse. A thorough bred may also be a pure blood, but not necessarily so. In the reign of George IT. the Rajah (or Prince) of Bengal, India, marched suddenly to Calcutta to drive the En glish from the country. As the attack was unexpected the English were de feated and 116 persons were taken pris oners. They were driven into a place about 18 feet square, and 15 or 16 feet high, with only two small grated win dows. This is what is known in history as the “Black Hole of Calcutta.” One hundred and twenty-three of the prison ers died in one night, suffocated in a few hours from confinement in this close, hot prison-hole, the oxygen of the air being soon consumed by so many lungs, and its place supplied by carbonic acid exhaled by the hot breath. The victims all died sleeping, because the carbonic aeitl gas, being a narcotic poison, pro duces drowsiness and death in those who inhale it. Of the twenty-three w r lio sur vived, the larger portion died of putrid fevers after they were liberated. The national anthem, “ The Star Spangled Banner,” was written by a Baltimorean, in Baltimore, and put in type by a Baltimore boy, in the office of the Baltimore American, on the night of the bombardment of Port Mc- Henry. Francis Scott Key, under the protection of a Jiag of truce, went on board the cartel-ship Menden to en deavor to procure the release of a friend of his, who had been captured by the British. For fear the intended attack upon the city would be divulged by him, Air. Key was detained a prisoner, and, during the conflict, the poem was com posed, notes of it being written upon the back of an old letter. When he was re leased he wrote out the song in full, and by the advice of his uncle, Judge Nich olson, had it sent to the printer. It was taken to the American office ; the men were all in the army, and to Mr. Samuel Sands, then an office-boy II years of age, and now tho veteran editor of the American Farmer, was the copy hand ed to be set up. He set it up, printed it and distributed it among the people. Set to music, it was first sung in a res taurant next to the Holliday Street The ater, by Charles Durang. It was re ceived with great enthusiasm, and was sung nightly for some timo afterward at the theater, and was soon adopted as the national anthem. Emblems of Mourning'. “I trust that black will not always remain an emblem of mourning in this country,” said a dealer in mourning goods, who is a scholar as well as a mer chant. “It is not a suitable emblem, but it implies an absence of light and a want of life which we certainly do not wish to convey as onr conception of the state our of departed friends. Mourning is supposed to be the outward visible sign of inward grief. The notion of a change, however, would not readily be received, for when one has to put on the habiliments of woe grief is too strong to be overcome by fashion.” “ What, other colors are used in mourning ?” “In Italy women grieve in white gar ments and men in brown. In China white is worn by both sexes. In Tur key, Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia, celestial blue is the tint chosen ; in Egypt yellowish brown, the hue of the dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is the emblem of mourning. All of these colors are symbols. White symbolizes purity, an attribute of our dead; the celestial blue that place of rest where happy souls are at peace ; the yellow, or dead leaf, tells that death is the end of all human hope, and that man falls as the autumn leaf ; and gray whispers of the grave to which all return. The Lyeians considered mourning for the dead an effeminate practice, and so when they grieved they put on women’s clothes as a symbol of weakness and as a shame to them for a lack of manli ness. The Thracians made a feast when one of their loved ones died, and every method of joy and delight were em ployed. This meant that the dead had passed from a state of misery into one of never-ending felicity. Black was in troduced as mourning by the Queen of Charles VIII. Before that the French Queens wore white mourning, and were known as the White Queens.” —New York Star. It is learned from a private report that on the southern seaboard of the Chinese province of Kwantnng are found wild silkworms which feed on the cam phor tree, and whose silk is utilized in a singular manner. When full grown, the caterpillar is cut open and the silk ex tracted in a form much resembling cat gut. This substance is subjected to a hardening process and made into fish lines. Thk coming holidays will be more generally observed than any for many years, and we would remind our readers that a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup will prove a moat accepta ble holiday present. “ Blode Up.” A young fellow having an odor of the stable about him, entered a Detroit photographer’s establishment and ex plained that he would like to have about one photograph taken, but on learning the price concluded to invest in a tin type. After taking his seat in the chair, he shut one eye, drew his mouth around to one side, stuck up his nose, and patiently waited for the operator, whose astonishment caused him to exclaim : “ Good gracious ! but you don’t want to look that way to get a picture. No body will know you from Sitting Bull.” “You go ahead,” was the reply. “ Do you want me to take such a phiz a3 that ?” “Ido.” The artist took it. It beat Sol Smith Russell all to pieces, and was highly satisfactory to the sitter, who paid for it and said : “ You see, I had a sort of object in this. Came here from Allegany County six mouths ago—engaged to a gal out there—found a gal here I like better —got to sever old ties—see ?” “But what has the'picture got to do with old ties?” asked the artist. “Lots—heaps ! I’ve writ to her that I was blode up here and disfigured for life. She’s awful proud. When she gets this and sees how the explosion wrecked me, slie‘ll hunt another lover quicker’n wink—see ? How do you like the plot? Just gaze on this picture and tell me that Mary Ann won’t send back my letters by first train !” He posted the picture. The letter was brief but explained it all. It said : “My ever des# girl—l enclose my picture that you may see how awful bad I was hurt, tho’ I know you will love me just the same.” “ Ever see that game worked afore ?” he asked of the artist as he licked the stamp on the letter. “ No—never did.” “ Course you never did. It’s mine. It struck me the other day while I was greasin’ a wagon, and I think it’s boss, iilode up—see ? Picture right here to prove it, and she’ll write back that she lias at last concluded to yield to her parents wishes and marry a young man out there who owns eleven steers, a hun dred sheep and an eighty-acre lot. ” The Des Moines (Iowa) Tri-Weekly Tribune says: “A Harrisburg, Pa., journal mentions that Mr, D. Bensinger, No. 4 Market Square, that city, was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of a violent at tack of rheumatism. Previous to the invention of the mule for spinning cotton few operators could spin it to 200 hanks to the pound, 840 yards making a hank. At the same time the natives of India were spinning cotton to a fineness of about 300 and 400 hanks. Since the introduction of the mule the Messrs. Houldsworth, of Manches ter, England, have succeeded in spin ning 700 hanks from a pound of cotton. Within a short time 10.000 hanks have been spun from a pound, but the thread was too fine to lie woven. The thread from this single pound of cotton reached ii length 4,770 miles. The finest cotton yarn is spun in England and made into lace in Fiance. It is useless to groan with rheumatism when a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil will cure it, as everybody knows. Columbus {Ohio) Daily Times. An Item for the Superstitions. A great deal has been said of the late President Garfield’s superstitious feel ing in regard to the number 42, and how be w r as always figuring out dates, etc.,' so as to sum up or make up that num ber. Here is a serious coincidence, which, perhaps, no one has noticed: James A. Garfield was: Born, November 19 Elected, November 2 Shot, July 2 Died, September 19 42 It will also be noticed that there are two 19’s and two 2’s in this series of dates. —Paterson Press.

There is in the public schools too much of this military drilling which forbids a tired and restless child to change its po sition and rest from a cruel It is sometimes absolute torture to a del icate child to maintain the stiffness and stillness enjoined by the foolish teacher. A moderate amount of freedom of move ment can not be productive of disturb ance to a well managed school. The teacher who thoroughly knows his busi ness and is born to his work is never an unreasoning martinet. —New York Tri bune.

It has been generally supposed that in England and Wales large farms were the rule, but recent statistics show up ward of 346.000 out of the total 473,638 holdings are of 50 acres each or under. •The farms above 1,000 acres number 506.

Tit* Best rroof of Merit ia uniform ancoess, and on this basis Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is without doubt outs of the greatest remedies in the land. Measuring by the Eye. A correspondent of the Boston Tran script suggests that children should be exercised in measuring by the eye. He says that veal’s ago, when Tie went to school in a little weather-beaten school house, the scholars had most exciting contests over the teacher’s favorite ex ercise of having them estimate with the eye the size and weight of different ob jects in the room. He would hold up his cane and have each scholar tell how long he thought it was, and it was a lucky child that could come within a half a foot of the right length. He would measure an urchin and th£n have the scholars try to reproduce the measure on the wall. He would mark off an inch, or a foot, or a yard, in some conspicuous place, and then see how near anybody could come to chalking the same length upon the blackboard. And it was astonishing how r wide astray one would go. The fact is, our eyes deceived us ridiculously, even upon the commonest things. At first thought which would you say was the taller, a 3-year-old child or a barrel of flour? And could anything but actual measurement convince you that the same child is half as high as a six-footer? There is an old saying that a child 2 years old is half as tall as fie ever will be, and after a few experiments in meas uring one can easily believe it, but not before. Almost Young Again. My raothes was fli cted a long lime with neuralgia, and a dull heavy inactive condi tion of the whole system; heecache, nervous prostration, and was almost helpless. No ohysicians or medlcinss did her any good. Three month* ago she began to use Hop Bitters with such good effect that she seems and feels young again, although over seventy years old. Too Troo, Too Ti*oo Man that is married to woman is of many days and full of trouble. In the morning he draws his salary, and in the evening behold it is all gone. It is a tale that is told, it vanisheth, and no one knowetli whither it goetli. He riseth up clothed in the chilly garments of the night and seeketh the somnolent paregoric wherewith to heal the colickry bowels of his infant offspring. He im itateth the horse or ox, and draweth the chariot of his posterity. He spendeth his shekels in the purchase of fine linen and purple to cover the bosom of his family, yet he himself is seen at the gates of the city with one suspender. He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down. There is hope of a tree when it is cut down that the tender roots thereof will sprout again, but man goeth to his home, and wliat is he they ? Yea, he is altogether wretched.—Nash ville Banner. Notice.

For echo of more than one the distance must be over one hundred feet. _ _ Poverty and Dutresa. That poverty which produces the greatest distress is not of the purse but of the blood. Deprived of its richness it becomes scant and watery, a condition termed anemia in medical writings. Given this condition, and scrofu lous swellings and sores, general and neiyous debility, loss of flekh and appetite, weak lungs, throat disease, spitting of blood and consump tion, are among the common results. If you are suffering from thin, poor blood employ Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery,” which enriches the blood and cures these grave affeo tious.

Peck said in a lecture : “If a large log of wood were iguited it might be a week before being entirely consumed. Split it up into cord wood, and pile it up loosely, and it would burn iu a coupie of hours. Again, split it up into kindling wood, pile it up loosely, and perhaps it would burn in less than an hour. Cut it up into shavings ana allow a strong wind to throw them in the air or in any way keep the chips comparatively well separated from each other, and the log would, perhaps, be consumed in two or three minutes ; or, finally, grind it up into a fine dust or powder, blow it in such manner that each practice is sur rounded by air, and it would burn in less tlian a second. jumcago later-ocean, j PERILS OF THE DEEP. “During my trip down the River Tagus, iti Spain.” said Captain Boyton to a representath - of this journal in a recent conversation by the sea shore, “ I had to ‘shoot’ 105 waterfalls, th„ largest being about eighty-live feet, and innumer able rapids.
