The rate of move* ment of the glaciers is variously esti* mated. The central part of a glacier moves more rapidly than the sides. The progress of the Greenland glaciers is in many cases at the rate of forty-seven feet a day in the centre, while at the £des it varies from ten to fifteen, Observations made on a typical Greenland glacier show that its breadth was 18,400 feet, depth 040 feet, and advance per day forty-seven feet during the summer sea¬ son. This would give about 200,000,- 000 cubic feet a year as the product of an average sized ice fjord, which, allow¬ ing five pounds a day to each person in the United States w r ould last over 100 years. This particular glacier, it will be seen, is very much larger than the great Muir Glacier of Alaska, whose annual output is some 5.100,000 cubic feet a year. Each glacier in Greenland, so far as any estimate has been made, gives birth each year to from ten to 100 icebergs. When these bergs have plunged into the Arctic Sea they are picked up by the Arctic current and begin their journey to the North Atlantic. But there are of them afloat; they crowd and rub against each other, and fre¬ quently they break into smaller masses. Many go aground in the Arctic basin, others get to the shores of Labrador, where from one end to the other they continually ground and float. Some dis¬ appear there, while others get safely past and reach the Grand Banks .—New York Sun. Anstralia's Drawbacks. “What inducement does Australia offer to a young American in search of a fortune?” was asked of J. H. Mulford, of Rockford, I!!., who is registered at the Sherman House on his return from the continent in the Southern Pacific. “None,” he answered promptly. “Don’t hesitate to advise ail young and old Americans who desire to make a living to be satisfied in the finest country God ever made. If a living can’t be made here it can't be made anywhere. Of course if a man has a situation ready for him there it might be ali right ior him to go there. But I doubt if even then he would suc¬ ceed. Very few Americans remain there who can get away. You see that the business men from Australia are English¬ men who were brought up in English ways, which are altogether too slow for men accustomed to the business methods of America. Moreover, business is at a standstill there. It has been growing worse for the past four years on account of the big drolights. Water is scarce, there beiug only a few rivers, and along their banks there have been this year floods which proved equally disastrous to the droughts. And if these two combi¬ nations were not enough, the labor ele¬ ment is getting restless again. Australia has the strongest labor organization in the world, and when a demand is made by the organization something has got to give way. Eight hours with a half holi¬ day on Saturday is in vogue throughout the colonies, but that is not enough, and the question of seven hours with a whole holiday on Saturday is being agi¬ tated. Many of the branches have de¬ clared for it, and it will only be a short time when the entire organization will declare for seven hours and all of Sat¬ urday. The purpose of doing so will be the hope of supplying work for the thousands of now idle men by lessening the productive power of those at present employed. No—tell young Americans in search of fortunes to stay where they are, or if they are bent on leaving this country to go anywhere but to Australia. I have just traveled all over that conti¬ nent, studying the situation carefully, and know whereof I speak .”—Chicago Post. When Bi|? Trousers Were the Rage. The old Saxon settlers of England de¬ lighted in vivid colors, and the Scandi¬ navian invaders, who came soberly suited in black, learned to surpass them iu gaiety of apparel. The Normans, in their turn, were remarkable for the vari- ety and splendor of their costumes. In the reign of Henry III., loppery reached its hei S ht ’ and men llaIf mined them - selves to be clothed iu the magnificent ani1 ““b stuir calM cln,h ot ,h ° Bald - erkins. In the reign of James T I., men wor * breeches of enormous breadth,and at an earlier date that fashion was even more extravagantly indulged. “Over the seats in the Parliament House,” says one au- thority, “there were certain holes, some two inches square, in the walls, in which were P laced Posts to uphold a scaffold round about the house within, for them to sit u P on who us2d the taring of "acks, great breeches stuffed with hair like wool which fashion being left the eighth year of Elizabeth, the scaffolds were taken down, and fiever since put up,” But, as we have seen, the fashion re- turned, and ever since men have alter- nated between loose and tight trousers. A Thrifty Bride. A peculiar marriage was quietly sol- emnized at St. Patrick's Church, New Haven, Conn., the other day. The con- fracting parties were Mrs. Grace Gadger, a widow aged forty years, and Thomas Corcoran, who will not be eligible to vote for several months. The bride did all the courting, and says that she simply married in order to have some one she *ould trust to help her in the small no- tion store that she has kept for several years. She says it was cheaper to get ^ ricd thuu to pay a clerk, ' _ ^ a * hin ^ t<m Persia’s Mineral Wealth. The mineral wealth of Persia has long been known to those acquainted with the literature bearing on the subject, but the real extent of its vast resources in this direction has only of late years been made apparent. In 1865 Dr. Polak, a German, after several years of careful study and investigation the in the country, stated iron, that wealth of that country in coal, and copper was unbounded, and that hardly any portion of the earth could vie with Persia in mineral richness. Many rich mines have been discovered since he wrote twenty five years ago. Dr. Polak says; “The unbounded wealth of the country in coal, iron, and copper in deposits only awaits exploration for order to set on foot a mighty industry which the industrious character and aptitude of the laboring class seem to of¬ fer every inducement. Scarcely any country of the earth can vie with Persia as to riches in metals, especially copper. Nearly every district has its copper mine; on the northern slope of the Elburz, near TeheraD, twenty such can be counted, and as many more in the environs of Kazvin. Lead is mined to such an extent that the demand for it in the country is amply supplied, and also a surplus left for export. The greater portion of the lead ore is found near Kerman. * * Coal, which generally lies exposed in vast seams, is not, up to now, mined, of owing de¬ to want of roads and the absence mand for industrial purposes. The seam upon the northern slope of the Elburz, near Teheran, appesrs already below Kaz- vin at the village of £ If, then shows itself in the Laar Valley, especially in a hollow of the latter called Divasia, and lastly makes itself visible near the small town of Ash, on the river Heras. Altogether the coal fo'mation is very abundantly represented.” Bean Soap. beans; Soak over nierht o^f one pint of parboil good dry fif¬ throw this water, teen minutes, and put to boil in plenty of cold water with half a pound slowly of till fat pork cut in slices.

It is as natural to a child to be happy os it is to a fish to swim. But for this they need a certain amount of “letting alone.” It is a great mistake for parents to hamper their children with foolish re¬ strictions. Do not fancy your boy is made of glass. Grant a reasonable re¬ quest, ami let him feel that when you re¬ fuse, it is for his own good. The young¬ est child needs some sort of agreeable physi¬ oc¬ cupation, and a certain amount of cal freedom. There is nothing more pain¬ ful to young people than to feel that life is one dull routine, and that “nothing ever happens,” as we once heard a discon¬ solate lad remark.

Dr. Leth- cby, from investigations he made, came to the conclusion that a certain amount of earthy salts (from 5 to 20 grains to the gallon) is necessary to render waiter in the highest degree wholesome for drink¬ ing. During the year ending June 30, 1890, 5,823, people were killed by railroads in the United States, and 26,800 carried, injured; 477,171,843 passengers were being so that the chances of each passenger killed are 1 to 1,523,133. the chances of being injured 1 to 220,024. On English roads the chances are only about a third as great. The Uae of Quinine. There is no questioning the fact anti-periodic that quinine is a valuable medicine as a tonic, and anti-pyretic, and that its discovery has greatly helped the cause of medicine. Still in a mu Jority of cases its use is not altogether satisfactory as it frequently deranges the sys¬ tem. producing headache, dizzy paralysis. feelings, con¬ It vulsions and Fometfmes even Bull was the endeavor of the eminent Dr. John of Louisville, Ky., to invent a substitute for quinine, something that would have all the good qualities of quinine, and yet be entirely free from its evil tendencies.
