Of 10') samples of “safety envelopes,” to prevent r fling in t e mails, which were submitted to the conference of postcffice inspire on at Washington, all were rejected. ...... ■ — A new company, in which Thomas A. Edison, * the in venter, ’ i, large y in terested, ha» been organized to m&nu facture dolls on a large scale. It will turn out 250,000 the first year. Not many people are aware that any one who feed* a sparrow in any part of New York State is liable to imprison ment for thirty days and to be fined fifty dollars. The law was potted in 1887. Professor Behrend, an English medi cal authority, . points . out that in a prac tice of thirty years, largely among He brew patients, ho has not met a single ease of phthisis in the members of that faith, . , , therr / immunity from , its . attacks , being undoubtedly due to the Hebrew method of examining and slaughtering tattle. The Russian naval manrauvres in the Black sc i narrowly escaped being o direct failure. Owing to the impossi liility of procuring effi-ient stokers thiee of the largest ironclads were pre¬ vented ftom leaving their moorings to take part in tlio affair. It is impossible to find Russians enough to fill theso places, while for various reasons the seivico is uot particularly inviting to foreigners. Klaiber, the. man who attempted to assaxsiuatc Prince William of Wurtem burg the other day, has been pro¬ nounced sane by physicians. And yet he belongs to an anarchist society, th# members of which are sworn “to kill hJI princes.” This is a variety of :an ity which the New York Commercial Adrtrfiser thinks should bn looked after by the hangman, yet it is doubtful that it it a veritable sanity, after all. Probably the smallest republic in th# xvorhl is the one which recently de dared its independence at Franeeville, one of the island* of the new Hebrides, and elected M. Cheviliiar 1 its presi dent. Tiie inhabitants consist of forty Europeans (inc'udiug a solitary Hag lnhman, , . a ratssioner), . , and , 500 black , , , workmen employed by a French com " paay. The new flag of the republic having been duly hoisted, tho French gunboat Saone lauded a detachment and minted tl»e flag. A test of metal railroad ties will soon be made iu Chicago. It ia predicted that metal tiei will be used before long on all railroad) In tho country. Beyond tbeir ttc’mical value, observes the New York WorUL these ties suggest tho pos- 1 sibiliiy that our American forests may be saved from total destruction. The greatest drain uj>ou our forests has been made in tho construction and repair oi railroad trucks. A wooden tie has only a short lease of usefulness and has to be replaced very frequently. The charges made with regard to the treatment of recruits ut J.-tf.rson Bar racks, Mo., have been investigated by an at my court of inquiry 1 and a re pert made to the Secretary of war. A number of the charges of cruelty against en’idel men wo.o proved to ha exaggerated, al thougn the cooking was found to be bad. A number of non-commissioned effi cers, it was discovered, had been running games of chance whereby ra ctuits lo)t a considerable pirtion of their earning). More desertipns occur from this post than any other. This is attributed to the fact that the post is so nciir a large city. M my men enlist in tho Eist merely for the sike of getting sent out West. Many chronic deserters from the artillery and infantry J enlist 4 and gc-i soDt to this cavalry just, where the chances of meeting their former off!-ers become very slight. In this way they m-iuage to desert, in many cases, for the third time. Tne latest scheme of foreign engineers is a bridge between England and France extending from Folkestom to Cape Grtsncz. _ . The undrrtakmg ... was soberly . , projio*d at a recent meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute at Paris. Should the bridge be built other great bridges would sink into complete insignificance eompsred with it. It would be thirty two miles long, and the plans, which the author of the enterprise has a ready prepare 1, contemplate a structure of a height from the foundations to the top of 600 feet, carried on 120 piers and containing 1,000,000 tons of steal. It* cost would be about $175 0 )0.000. With the enormous advance that the last doten year# have effected in molAi engineering it would hardly be safe to say that the project is not feasible. The English Channel is a “nawsty” body of water, as the Englishmen would say, for even travelers with pretty good sea legs, and the scheme of crossing it by rail has long been the dream of engi¬ neers. But these schemes have come from Fiance rather then from England. The tight little isle, observes tho Chi¬ cago Herald, is proud of its insular to¬ pography and hostile to the smallest break in it It never took kindly to the tunnel scheme, and it is not sur¬ prising to learn that it regards UK bridge enterprise with disfavor.

More than that, it shows that exports of liquor are also reduced fully twenty per eeut as compared with five or six years ago. Tile number of persons dealing in malt liquors exclusively has also fallen >>11 within the past two or three years, the reduction of these being fully forty per cent. The reduction in the number of dealers in liquors has been especially the marked in the south, In every one of southern states excepting Maryland, there has been a decrease. Jn Georgia there hits been a reduction of nearly forty per cent, and in Tennessee about twenty-five dealers per cent. The number of liquor retail, in the United States, wholesale and is about 180,000. Three years ago they numbered about 203,000.

There was a plaintive plead n g in his voice as he said to the last comer: “Sty, hadn’t you better send the rest up at onea? “They are all up now, sir,” replied the stowaway with repressed cheerfulness, and the officer gave a sigh of ! relief. When the vessel arrived at Que¬ bec the captain seat a dispatch ashore with the pilot boat to be forwarded to Montreal, asking that a detachment of the harbor police be at hand when the vessel came alongside, to arrest the men. The police were in readiness on the wharf, but the steamer stranded in midstream, and lighters had to be sent o<T fo relieve her of part of the cargo. Oae of the lighters was alongside when darkness came on, and the had to lie to until sunrise. When the lighter was fully loalel she drew to the wharf to discharge, but hardly was she moored when there was a movtmeot among some sacks and a stowaway leaped out and made a break for the wharf. An¬ other immediately sprang out from the other side, an l in another instant the whole deck of the lighter was alive w ith stowaways, running up the wharvei and leaping over the obstacles that came in their way.

A Joke That Turned Oat Well. “I will tell you how a youth fell into a soft snap and finally got to the head of a big concern,” said an old-timer the other day. “It was all the result of a joke and happened in this way: Myself un i a friend were one day accosted by a boy < f about 14. who said lie had just come from the coun'.ry an l was looking for work. I asked him whit he coull do, r.nd he replied that lie was xvilliag to do anything lor an honest dollar. 1 thought over everyone ot my acqnaint ai-.ces in butineis but was in doubt, feeling that none of them needjd a b iy. Finally I told the young man that I couldn’t think of any one to recommend him to. My companion, who was a wag uf the fir A water, here put in his oar and^aid: “ ‘Se; d him to—. He i) going to discharge las boy, aud I guess he’ll hire ym. Keep a stiff upper lip; tell him you won’t take no for an answer; that ym must have work and arc willing to work bird. II -'lt try to put you off, but don’t let him. If necessary, tell him I said ho wanted a boy.’ “My friend gave the boy his naim and the lad departed. When he was gone my friend informed tne that he felt sorry for deceiving him, as he wa) a bright and honest- appearing young fellow. I gave the matter little atten ticn. save to reprimand mj wagg-sh friend. “About ten years afterward my friend was sitting in the waiting-room at Par ker’s, when a young gentleman ap pronched Mm and said: 1 I believe your nama is—3” “ That’s my name’, said my friend; d)u t you vj tho advantage of roe; 1 don’t know yours.’ “ ‘U ° you remember telling a boy once about somebody who wanted help?’ ‘“I believe I do,’ said my friend, after some hesitation. ‘I wai speaking about it the other day. I lied to you, sir, I know, and have felt pretty sore for it since. “‘Oh, no; you didn’t lie,’ said the young man. ‘That is to say, did want to hire a boy. He hired me and now I’m his manager. Here is unv card. I shall be happy if I can repay you.’ “My friend showed me the card a few days later.
