A PUZZLE IN PRONUNCIATION.
Set Before a Teachers’ Institute In Ver
mont and Left Unsolved.
The following rather curious piece
of composition was recently placed
upon the blackboard at a teach era in
stitute in Vermont, and a prize of a
Webster's Dictionary offered to any
person who could read it and pro
nounce every word correctly. The
book was not earned off, as 12 was
the lowest number of mistakes in
pronunciation made.
A sacrilegious son of Belial who
has suffered from bronchitis, having
exhausted his finances, in order to
make good the deficit, resolved to
ally himself to a comely, lenient and
docile young lady of the Malay or
Caucasian race. He aceordingly pur
chased a calliope and coral necklace
of a chameleon hue and securing
a suite of rooms at a principal hotel
lie engaged the head waiter as his
coadjutor. lie then dispatched a let
ter of ttie most unexceptional calig
raphy extant, inviting the young
lady to a matinee. She revolted at
the idea, refused to consider herself
sacrificable to his desires and sent a
polite note of refusal, on receiving
which he procured a carbine and
bowie knife, said that he would not
now forge fetters hymeneal with the
queen and went to an isolated spot,
severed his jugular vein and dis
charged the contents of the carbine
into his abdomen. The debris was
removed by the coroner.
The mistakes in pronunciation
were made on the following words,
Sacrilegious, Belial, bronchitis, ex
hausted, finances, deficit, comely,
lenient, docile, Malay, calliope, cham
eleon, suite, coadjutor, caligraphy,
matinee, sacrificable, carbine, hyme
neal, isolated, jugular and debris.—

Bank of .England Notes.
With the Bank of England the de
struction of its notes takes place
about once a week and at 7p. m. It
used to be done in tlie daytime, but
made such a smell that the neighbor
ing stockbrokers petitioned the gov
ernors to do it in the evening. The
notes are previously canceled by
punching a hole through the amount
(in figures) and tearing off the signa
ture of the chief cashier. The notes
are burned in a closed furnace, and
the only agency employed is shav
ings and bundles of wood. They
used to be burned in a cage, the re
sult of which was that once a week
the city was darkened with burned
fragments of notes. For future pur
poses of reference the notes are left
five years before being burned.
The number of notes coming into
tlie Bank of England every day is
about 50,000, and 350,000 are de
stroyed every week, or something
like 18,000,000 every year.
The stock of paid notes for five
years is about 77,745,000 in number,
and they fill 13,400 boxes, which if
placed side by side would reach
miles. If the notes were placed in a
pile, they would reach to a height of
51 miles, or if joined end to end
would form a ribbon 12,455 miles
long.—Chambers’ Journal.
Our Christtuas Trees.
The newspapers are frequently very
pathetic over the enormous destruc
tion of forests, caused by the annual
sales of Christmas trees. As trees
are in any form valuable only for the
pleasure which humanity can derive
from them, there seems to be no
more reason why they may not bo
sacrificed for this pleasure when com
paratively young as for floor boards
when they reach maturer years. The
satisfaction that thousands of young
folks receive from the Christmas tree
is a full compensation for its destruc
tion, and aside from this, as any one
knows who may have visited north
ern forests, the trees usually are far
too close together ever to form first
class timber. Spruce and firs may
be seen growing together as thick as
wheat in the grainfield, and to ex
pect timber from such closely grow
ing specimens is entirely out of the
question; hence the trees may be cut
from the young northern forests
without operating against full grown
forest trees eventually.—Meehan's
Monthly.
Victoria Paraphrased.
During one of Queen Victoria’s vis
its to the highlands of Scotland she
was riding down a glen on the estate
of the Earl of Dalhousi'e, when be
ing thirsty she drank from a spring
of crystal water which bubbled from
a grassy spot among the heather.
The rustic well is now covered by a
beautiful fountain, which bears the
following inscription:
Rest, stranger, on this lovely scene
And drink and pray for Scotland’s queen.
Victoria.
A great deal of amusement was
created by the following couplet pen
ciled below the above and supposed
to have been written by an English
tourist:
We'll pray for Queen Victoria here.
But go and drink her health in beer.
—London Truth.
The Moon’s Mission.
Some partisans of final causes have
imagined that the moon was given
to the earth to afford it light during
the night. But in this .case nature
would not have attained the end pro
posed, since we are often deprived at
the same time of the light of both
sun and moon. To have aocom
plished this end it would have been
sufficient to have placed the moon at
first in opposition to the sun and in
the plane of the elliptic at a distance
from the earth equal to the one bun
dreth part of the distance of the
earth from the sun, and to have im
pressed on the earth and moon par
allel velocities proportional to their
distances from the sun. In this cap-'
the moon, being constantly in oppo
sition to the sun, would have de
scribed round it an ellipse similar to
that of the earth. These two bodies
would then constancy succeed each
other, and as at this distance the
moon could not be eclipsed its light
would always replace that of the sun.

THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
An Erroneous Tlieory as to Its Potential
ity For Increasing.
Few people, even among professed
politicians, have much idea of the
wealth of the world or of the man
ner in which that wealth is grow
ing. Still fewer have any notion of
the potentiality of wealth to in
-oTv*a> . M. Jan net quotes the elab
oraie cal /illation of an ingenious au
thor to show that 100 francs, aceu
mutating at 5 per cent compound in
tercet for seven centuries, would be
sufficient to buy tlie whole surface
of the globe, both land and water, at
the rate of 1,000,000 francs (£40,000)
the hectare. The actual growth of
riches has not hitherto assumed such
inconvenient proportions.
M. Jannet cites various authorities
to show that the wealth of the
United Kingdom exceeds £10,000,-
000,000; that of France, £8,000,0u0,-
000; that of all Europe, £40,000,000,-
000; that of the United States. £14,-
000,000,000. If we place the wealth
of the rest of the world at £2(5,000,-
000,000 we shall arrive at an aggre
gate of £80,000,000,000. We should
have, we may add, to multiply this
vast sum, which according to M.
Jannets ingenious authority 100
francs accumulating at 5 per cent
compound interest for 700 years
would grow.
The figures we have given are so
vast that they convey 7 no appreciable
idea to tlie ordinary reader. It may
assist tlie apprehension if it be added
that France on the average pos
sesses more than £2OO, the United
Kingdom more than £250 for each
member of the population. Just 200
years ago Sir W, Petty estimated the
entire wealth of England at only
£250,000,000. Two centuries, there
fore, have increased it fortyfold.
But the chief additions to it have
been made in the last 50 years, and
we believe that we are not far wrong
in saying that the sum which is an
nually added to the capital of the
United Kingdom amounts to £200,-
000,000, or in other words is nearly
equal to its entire wealth at the
time of the revolution of IG3B.
Edinburgh Review.
An Early American Yacht.
Cleopatra’s Barge was launched in
December, 181 G. The yacht was
rigged as a brigantine and cost about
$50,000 even at that early day. She
measured 83 feet on the water line,
was 22 feet lli inches wide ana 11
feet 5J inches deep. Curiously
enough these dimensions and propor
tions are not very different from
those of the cup defender Mayflower
and her successors. Her tonnage was
10 H tons nearly—almost exactly that
of the Mayflower under the old rules
of measurement.
In spite of her owner’s love of sea
manship his taste in the matter of
decoration reems to have been, to
say the least, eccentric—one side of
the yacht was painted in horizontal
stripes of many colors, and the other
bore a similarly diversified device
after the manner of tlie herring bone
pattern. Her standing rigging was
made of ropes laid in different col
ored strands, huge false windows
were painted on the sides of her cab
in, and altogether she must have
been distinctly at variance with what
is considered “shipshape” at the pres
ent day. Nevertheless she was very
fast and beat the sailing frigate
United States, a crack ship of her
day, in an all day race at sea.—Har
per’s Weekly.
When He Did.
The benevolent person had put 5
cents into the bands of the tramp,
and feeling a kind of proprietary in
terest in linn thereafter proceeded to
question him a bit.
“Yuii’re a pretty hard citizen,
aren't you?” he asked.
“Rather difficult at times, sir,” re
plied the peripatetic frankly.
“I presume you steal when you get
a chance?”
“Only in very necessitous cases,
jfi, and then only in a small way.”
“And lie?”
“Yes, it’s part of our profession,
sir.”
“And use tobacco?”
“When I can get it, sir,”
The benevolent person began to he
sorry he had invested in such stock,
but he was going now to the bitter
end.
“Of course,” he went on, “you
drink too.”
The tramp hesitated for tlio first
time, as if in doubt, and looked at
the nickel in his hand.
•‘Well, yes, sir,” lie replied slowly,
“I drink two when I've got tlio
price, but under the present circum
stances 111 only drink one, unless
you”
But the benevolent person could
not stand it any longer, and he made
a rush for the visitor, which result
ed in a sudden disappearance.—De

Flying Machines.
No one has yet by any mental con
struction or any logical synthesis in
dicated any plan of mechanism by
which to navigate the air. Any
method of inventing that is not in
pursuance of a previously conceived
and clearly defined plan is as a hoy
at a blackboard, hoping by number
less trials to strike the solution by
chance.
In a flying apparatus it is proposed
to lift dead, imbuoyant avoirdupois
by some kind of mechanical beating
against the air, and necessarily the
dead weight must be on the under
side, and the beating or cleaving
mechanism on top.
This is made imperative by the law
of gravitation. This same principle
of beating or striking, in other forms
of application, is involved in all land
and water propulsion. This feature
that cleaves in the ocean of air must
do one or the other of two things: It
must either be applied to bearing on
a large surface moderately or it must
affect a smaller surface with greater
rapidity. —Pittsburg Dispatch.
A DETECTIVE SHOT.
lie Was Forced to Kill His Assailant, Wl:c
Was a Stranger,
Greenville, S. C., Oct. 24.—Detect
ive T. N. Haney, formerly chief of po
lice of Gain sville, Ga., but now in the
service of the Richmond and Danville
railroad, shot and killed James Bat on,
of Clifton, S. C., at the depot of the At
lanta and Carlolte Air Lin * railroad in
this city at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Detectives Haney and James Batson
were both passengers on the west bound
train, but being in separate coaches did
not see each other until the arrival ot
the train at this point. Batson, it is
said, was under the influence of whisky,
and as soon as he saw Haney began
abusing him. and drawing his pistol
leveled it at him several times. Haney
dodged him for several minutes and en
deavored to get away. He succeeded in
getting off the train and partially over
an embankment when Batson opened
fire upon him. shooting several times be
fore he returned the tire. He then shot
at Batson twice, both shots taking effect,
causing his death in four minutes.
After the shooting Haney surrendered
himself to tlie police and was lodged in
jail. He stated that he was, with several
assistants, looking for some criminals,
and entered the car where Batson was,
thinking he could find them. He had
never seen Batson before and had never
spoken to him until Batson began abus
ing him as described above. He think;
it a case of mistaken identity—that Bat
son took him for someone else.
Haney regrets the occurrence very
much; and says he expects a speedy trial
and acquittal, as it was undoubtedly a
clear case of self defense.
A VISITOR ASSAULTED.
Tiffany’s Detettives Almost Cause a Bint
at the World’s Fair.
Chicago, Oct. 24. —The treatment oi
a visitor by one of Tiffany & Company’s
detectives, in their pavilion at the fair
almost caused a riot in the Manufactur
ers’. building.
The visitor was standing in front of
the diamond exhibit when the detective,
without any more warning than to order
him to move on, grasped him by the
throat with both hauls from behind and,
throwing him backward, kept his grip
on the visitor’s throat until his tongue
stuck out.
The crowd protested against the as
sault, and started to rescue the visitor,
when tlie rest of tlie Tiffany detectives
10 in number, grabbed tlie visitors and
threatened to arrest them or put them
out of the pavilion.
Several Columbian guards came uj
at this point and restored order. They
took the assaulted man outside, and,
telling him there was no charge againsf
him, let him go, after the crowd had de
rnanded his release in a threatening man
ner. Nothing was done to the detec
tive.
An Exhibitor's Suicide.
Chicago, Oct. 24.—G. W. Clipp, in
charge of an exhibit at the fair from
British South Africa, committed suicide
at Thatcher Park, a suburb of this city,
by shooting himself in the head with a
revolver. No cause can be assigned for
tne act.
CLELELAND AT HOME.
An Ideal Country Life, Is That of the Pres
ident and His Family.
Washington, Oct. 24.—President and
Mrs. Cleveland are living more quietly
just now than lias ever before been pos
sible for them in this city 7 . Outside of
working hours, the White House sees
very 7 little of the president. Mrs. Cleve
land still keeps to her custom of either
driving in town with him every morn
ing or coming for him in the afternoon,
when they 7 extend their drive around the
country.
Those who have seen Mrs. Cleveland
lately say 7 that she never looked so hand
some. It is quite probable that the pres
idential family will remain in the coun
try for another month, at least, and, in
fact, the house will be kept in readiness
for occupancy at any' time during the
winter. Mrs. Cleveland is fond of walk
ing about the woods in company with
the babies, a pleasure not to be thought
of by her in the streets of the city.
A Veteran’s Decisive Refusal.
Cincinnati, Oct. 24. —Elizabeth Hoff
man, who had been convicted of making
a false claim for a pension, wai sen
tenced two years imprisonment at hard
la Dor in jail. Mrs. Weber is 53 years of
age, and when sentence was pronounced
sobbed piteously. When Assistant
United States Marshal Williams was. di
rected to conduct her to the jail, he re
fused, declaring that he would resign
rather than obey the order. He is a vet
eran, and said: “I am tired of this per
secution of old soldiers and decrepit
women, who have been victimized by
pension attorneys. Besides, I have too
much heart to take part in such a pro
ceeding.”
Corrigan’s Compliment’s to Satclll.
New York, Oct. 24.—The Rev. Father
Corrigan, of the Church of Our Lady of
Grace, Hoboken, will have a marble
statue of Mgr. Satolli, the delegate,
placed in his church. It will be un
veiled on Sunday, Nov. 12, and exten
sive preparations are being made for the
event. Mgr. Satolli is expected to be
present.
Warned by White Caps.
Buena Vista, 0., Oct. 24.—Rev. Mr.
Harrison, a young and energetic minis
ter, received a notice of warning in the
shape of a White Cap letter. Local op
tion recently carried here, since which
time a “club” with liquid attachments
has prospered, and Mr. Harrison has
fought this club.
A Family Fend Caused the Killing.
Birmingham, Oct. 24.—Saturday night
about 12 o’clock Henry H. Wood a
boiler maker, shot and killed his brother
in-law, W. H. Smith, at Lakeview.
Shortly afterwards Wood appeared at
the jail io give himself up. A family
feud seems to have been the cause of the
trouble. -
A Terrible Prediction.
The press is much given to indulg
ing in Cassandralike predictions of
impending evil. For instance, there
is an item going the rounds of the
press to the effect that there are
8,000,000 piano players in the United
States, and they can elect any man
president on whom they may unite.
What a terrible prediction! But it
is not likely to be realized. Yet
there are people who sit upon the
eggs of borrowed trouble until they
eventually hatch out the genuine
chickens. —Texas Siftings.
WON HIS CONSENT.
But She Had to Stoop to Stratagem to
Make Him Like Her Lover.
T saw you driving with George
last evening,” said the girl with the
yachting cap, “and I could scarcely
wait until morning to find out liow
you succeeded in evading your fa
lter, whom, by the way. I saw going
into that horrid little Mrs. Fliglitie’s
in oan hour later.”
“I didn't have to eva 7 e him,” re
plied the girl m the pink morning
gown. "He stood on tee front steps
and watched us off:”
“You don't say 7 so! Why, only a
couple of months ago he forbade
George the house.”
“Yes, dear, but that was before
Mrs. Flightie had reminded him that
he was still young enough to marry
again himself.”
“You don't mean”
“Yes, I do. It's lots of fun. Yon
ought to have heard papa pumping
me yesterday concerning a suitable
present for her. He evidently thought
of a diamond necklace.”
“But he won’t”
“Oh, no, dear. I told him that a
book of poems would be more suit
able.”
“I should really like to know how
y r ou managed it all. You are so
clever,” sighed the girl with the
yachting cap.
“Well, in the first place, I gave
George a few instructions. Then I
gave up society and told papa that I
intended to stay at home evenings
and amuse him. I bought him a pair
of slippers and took to singing old
songs to him after dinner, apparent
ly 7 oblivious to the fact that lie kept
fidgeting about and looking at his
watch and that he was wearing a
new tie almost every 7 day 7 .”
“I noticed tlie other day that lie had
on a buttonhole bouquet—that is gen
erally a serious sign for a widower.”
“Very true. Well, the other even
ing after Iliad been singing ‘Annie
Laurie,’ ‘Bonnie Doon’and ‘TheLand
o’ the Leal’ I went over and perched
my 7 self on the arm of his chair, and
carefully smoothing the hair away
from the bald spot on his head I said,
‘I have decided never to leave y 7 ou,
papa, but to devote my life to mak
ing happy y 7 our declining y T ears.’ ”
“Fancy talking about declining
years to a man with a pink necktie!”
“Yes. Well, he wriggled away
from me and mumbled something
about despising old maids. I assured
him that I did, too; still my duty
to him was of the first importance.
Then I told him that I had decided
that lie ought to go to church with
me every Sunday, as lie was growing
old.”
“You didn’t!”
“I did. He hummed and hawed
and finally 7 said, ‘By the way, what
has become of that y 7 oung fellow who
used to hang around y 7 ou so much?’
‘Oh, I never see him now,’ I replied.
‘You remember you forbade me to
have anything more to do with him,
so I’ -
“Why, Mabel Gotrocks!”
“It was all fair, dear. Then I said,
‘Besides, it is better so, papa, for 1
could never leave y T ou.’ He coughed
and muttered something about ‘not
minding that.’ Then I went on,
‘He’s evidently getting over his feel
ing for me, too, for I hear that he is
quite attentive to Mrs. Flightie. ’ ”
“Oh, Mabel, you”—
“I know, but I had to do it. That
made papa furious. He jumped up
and shrieked that he would slay the
man who had trifled with liis daugh
ter’s affections.”
“Oh, goodness!”
“Yes, and I replied that Mrs.
Flightie would make him a lovely
wife, and that I really did not care
for George after all. Then he
worked himself into a perfect fury
and finally commanded me to marry
George on pain of his eternal dis
pleasure.”
“You surely don’t mean it?”
“I do. I sent George a note say
ing that it was all right. He came.
Papa has taken him into partnership
and the wedding is set for Septem
ber.”
“But Mrs. Flightie and”
‘ ‘Oh! that is all right. She is going
to marry old Mr. Millions, but papa
does not know it yet.”—Chicago
Tribune.
The Earth’s Age.
A recent contribution of note to
the discussion of geological problems
is that by Dr. Clarence King, in
which he claims to have advanced
Lord Kelvin’s method of determin
ing the earth’s age to a further point
of importance. He discusses the ex
perimental investigations of Dr.
Barus on the effect of heat and pres
sure on certain rocks and particular
ly selects the case of diabase, which
has specific gravity approximately
equal to the average specific gravity
of the earth's crust. In the light of
all the new facts he then reconsiders
the probable fate of cooling of the
earth, rendering more precise the
conclusions arrived at by Kelvin.
As the result of his researches and
investigations, all of which, it is need
less to say, were conducted on the
widest plane and in the most thor
ough manner, Dr. King concludes
that the earth’s age probably does
not exceed some 24,000,000 of years,
notwithstanding the contiv ry opin
ion held by certain geologists.—New
York Sun.

At Bald Rock, GOrrrles from Fresno,
John Rose killed a grizzly bear which

for nearly 15 years and was called
“Bigfoot” by miners in that vicinity.
It is estimated that he has killed 1,000
sheep in his time and has had many
fights with Chinese sheep herders.
He carried scars to show it. for when
he was cut open seven bullets were
found in his carcass. They had been
fired into him in past years. He was
