G or gar, who wanted to vote at Lafayette, Ind., at the election in 1894, and was refused permission, and then appealed to the courts, only to be disappointed in the decision of the lower court and also on appeal, has again been rebuffed, her petition for a rehearing having been overruled, the court holding that the privilege of voting is enjoyed by males on ]y Ullder the present constitution of Indiana. A Boston man says he can change the climate of New England and the mal . itime provinces of Canada by building a dam acrogs the Strait of Belle blocking it nnd diverting the northern currents. The dam would have to be ten miles long and about two hundred feet high, and strong enough to resist the ocean. He thinks this could be done for $9,000,000, and that it would give the territory named a climate much like that of Southern New York and New Jersey. A few years since there was not a canning factory west of the Alleghany Mountains, hut now they dot the prairies and plantations of the Missis sippi basin, and are increasing year by year at a rapid rate. There has been a steady increase in the demand for canned goods.

In prosperous times the trade is a yast and profitable one, and is only in the first steps of its development. When is a man aged? The time honored limit fixed in many States, by the limitation of service on the bench or in other responsible positions, is the age of seventy But that tradi¬ tional limit of three-score years and ten has been judicially shortened four years by the Supreme Court of Geor gia t„ 111 ft,p tUe lanmiime language OI of the tne court COtm, “while the term aged, as applied to human i ,,,,,,,, l.i beings, is not, for tor all all mimoses purposes, susceptible of precise definition, and wbde it j g no t practicable to fix arbi trarily a period of life at which the condition of being aged may be said to have certainly begun, it is safe to hold that a man sixty-six years old is eu to exemption of his property from levy and sale under that this clause right of the constitution allowing to ‘every aged or infirm person.’ This is true, although the applicant may be ‘a hale and hearty man.’” The Chicago Times-Herald chroni¬ cles the news that Miss Emma Bay, of Cass County, Mich., has been com missioned by the Bachelor GirJs’ As pociationof that State to organize branches , , . _ Indiana. ihe Bachelor . m Girls’ Association was organized by tlie young women of Edwardsburg, a little hamlet of several hundred souls, and its outlined objects are to fit its members for higher positions in life than to he wives, driven by mar¬ riage into drudgery. The society was organized in September, 1890, and each member is pledged by solemn oath to remain single until she is twenty-five years old, when she may receive matrimonial propositions from well-educated young men of irre proachable character. Letters com mendatory of the society were re ceived in such numbers tbat action looking toward a national organization was determined upon. The vexed question of the extermi¬ nation of the Australian rabbit, which has hitherto constituted the chief problem that has confronted every antipodean administration, has at length received a satisfactory solution. There is no longer any necessity for invoking the services of great scientists such as the late Dr. Pasteur and Pro fessor Koch to devise means for their extermination, for the invention of the 0o j d _ gb5ra g e roon i8 on board ship has led to the bunnies being exported in a refrigerated condition to the omniver- ■ ous market of the mother country, Babbit pie is a favorite dish in the United Kingdom, and the rabbit which ; could not be successfully canned for transport and preservation is now j leaving Australia for England at each : a rate that soon ther ein not be a ~ - - “ 7 * - Lumbermen in the lower Missis sippi Valley are complaining, as one ol |nuch the "*>*«« Of the great flood, that of their lumber will be unht for ship ment because it has been under Water and is covered with silt.

Some time a g 0 his attention was called to the fact that both India and Japan have produced swords without that will losing cut their through e<V.. a gun barrel "kiia led him, according to Hirar Itn, to study old Jiiruiiv I’b HvU ’he subject of steel manufacture .hem to begin at Wayne a series ot experi¬ ments which soon resulted in tlie ojf pro¬ duction of a small quantity steel possessing a remarkable temper. From these few ounces of steel he Had one or two drills forged, and with these he was able to drill holes through fan or dinary file without damaging thje drills at all. He has not yet made any steel for sale, nor does his process, nt pres ent, always produce the desired re suits. As yet, therefore, he does no! though modern steelmakers Lave yet "can a good deal to learn before they produce a metal which will equal that made by the old Hindu manufacturers of weapons, yet the hope of inevitable doing so is by no means doomed to failure. Falling Walls at Fire*. Mr. Charles T. Hill contributes to Bt. Nicholas an article u “ The Perils of a Fireman’s Life,” in the course of which he says: There are several kinds of falling walls, and the fireman of experience knows them well, and what to expect from each, There is one kind that breaks first at the bottom an‘*l comes down almost straight, somewhat like a curtain. This makes a big noise, but is not very much to he dreaded. Then there is another that bulges or “buckles” in the middle at first, and makes a sort of curves as it descends. This is a little more serious than the first, and lias caused many fatalities. Then there is one that breaks at the bottom and comes straight out, reach¬ ing clear across the street, and remain¬ ing almost solid until it strikes; and, as an oid-time fireman once remarked: “That’s the kind you want to dodge.” This kind of “falling wall” has caused more of the deaths in the de¬ partment than any other danger the firemen have to contend with. It has killed horses as well as men. and de¬ stroyed apparatus; and it is so rapid in its descent, and covers so much space, that to escape it the men have to be quick indeed. Consideration of a Thief. At Budapest, Hungary, the other day, a carrier took a letter tb the sec retary of the Society of Arts, who, on opening it, found in it nothing but a green pawn ticket showing that 60 florins had been lent on a statuette in ivory and silver. With a dark present iment, the secretary ran to one of the exhibition rooms, and there k»n a pedes tal where the work of an 1’shia.n Hculp tor ought to have stood, l^e found a piece of paper on which s written, -• Has been purloined for; a day or two.” strange Himalayan Tribes.
