In the little German village of Sege
berg there lives a humble shoemaker
named Ifonelach, who has collected
2,50!) different kinds of beetles, 1,890
being native and 1,178 foreign. Tliey are
all scientifically arranged and classified,
anil the collection is an exceedingly val¬
uable one from a scientific point of view.
Although lie is now eighty years of age,
Homelach is still an enthusiastic student
of b -etles, and he probably knows more
about the-e inserts than any rnau living.
F< w piople will accept the remarkable
view- i/ti opium smoking expressed by
Mr. J. G. Scott, the traveler, in his book
on Fonqun. He asserts that opium used „

fever fumes rise thick out of the marshes
and jungle. He says that it is only when
a man puts himself to sleep with a half
dozen or more pipes that it becomes a
<uma. The opium habit is very prevalent
among the French s ddiers in Indo¬
china.
Farm lands in England continue to de¬
crease in value so much in extent us lo
cause serious alarm over there, The
loans made on mortgages by large
moneyed institutions are above the value
of the estates, so that they cannot be
converted into cash, and the credit of
some of the institutions is in consequence
gradually though steadily being im
paired. Even the best property of that
kind is affected by the financial depres¬
sion. A very desirable estate near Castle
Howard was lately offered at auction,and
£7,000 w.is the best bill, although, seven
years ago, it sold for IT2,500. A singu¬
lar (act, ill,-if, notwithstanding flic
troubles in Ireland and the depreciation
of agricultural interests there, land in
certain of its districts is in more demand
than in the English counties. Some of
the local newspapers, indeed, declare
that the primary cause of ail the agrarian
disturbances of Ireland is due to the
overbidding for land. But there are so
many and so contradictory opinions eon
corning tho present adversities in Great
Britain that it is impossible to tell to
what they are attributable.

“Bteve" Brodie, an ex newsboy and pedes¬
trian, jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge
Friday afternoon, the 2 :d, and was taken
from the water uninjured. Shortly before 2
o'clock an ofien truck containing three men
drove upon tbe New York roadway of th.;
bridge and i aired the policeman stationed
there unnoticed. The truck was about 250
fc :t beyond the t w -r, at a point where the
bridge is fully 120 feet above the water, when
lirodie jumped to the roadway aud ran to¬
ward the side of the bridge. Only an instant
did ho stop to throw off his coat, and
clad, in a rod flannel shirt with boots,
hat and troufors on, he clirnl el over the low
iron lattice work which serves to protect the
roadway from the dizzy depth clambered below, down and
with the aginy of a < at,
and hung by Ins ann. from one oi the iron
ginler, which run along below the bridge.
The driver of the tru k and a policeman
rushed to the spot. They wi re too late to
accomplish anyth,ag. The policeman wildly
collared a printer named Waterman, who
had accompanied Brodie in the tiuck.

Thursday was the bi-centennial of the
porporation of Albany, N.Y.. as a city,
has in fact been in progress for three
'lays, but Thursday was the anniversary
and climax. Nobody went to bed that
night. The uproar that broke loose at
midnight when the bells announced the
arrival of the anniversary continued un
til daylight. Men.Oxiys and even women
went.up and down the principal streets
blowing horns and singing until morning
came. selves into Men marchingbands and.boys organised and went them- from
one part of the city to another, blowing
two or three horns together, and stopping
before hotels and private residences and
giving an impromptu serenade. Small
cannon kept up their salutes, and bon
fires lighted up the principal streets, and
the red fire’s glow was reflected from the
skies above until they paled in the gray
of approaching morning. All the noise
and enthusiasm that Albany may have had
