l'ho very low death rate in Chicago
is accounted for by one of the pioneera
o.i the theory that not even its leading
men are yet old enough to die.
The son recently born to Prince
Frederick Leopold of Prussia is the
iwen'y-fifth living prince of the royal
and imperial house of Hohenzollern.
There is little danger that Prussia or
Germany will ever be in want of an
lieir.
Here is another evidence that “there
were giants in those days.” Chevalier
Scrog, while exploring a cavern in
the Peak of Teueriffo, found a skull
which must have belonged to a man nt
least fifteen feet high. It contained
sixiy perfect (eeth of monstrous size.

is increasing in Australia and New

American harvesters Ilian usual are
being used in Kouinattia, Franco aud
Germany, with recent sales in Italy
and Spain.
The introduction of the German
trout into this country proves to be
very successful, announces the New
York Times. They grow rapidly and
attain great size. One was recently
caught which weighed nine aud a half
pounds and was twenty-seven and a
half inches long. The spawn was
planted in 1881.

rapid growing commerce of Mexico,”
laments the American Agriculturist,
“than the United States. Our prox¬
imity, out' reputation for smartness in
trade, yield to the commercial tact of
Europe. If we would compete hope¬
fully in Mexican trade, we must send
active canvassers, who speak the lan¬
guage of the country.”
The cause of llic great agricultural
distress in Austria is attributed to the
difficulty of obtaining prompt credit
by the farmers. The rate of interest
perpetually fluctuates, and is generally
too high to be met, not only by small
farmers, but also by those who hold
large landed estates, asserts the
American Agriculturist. “No farmer
can pay 12 per cent, interest,
aud keep a roof over his head.”
Fruit from South Africa has been
imported into England in excellent
condition. Peaches were received in
London a few days ago which sold at
the fancy price of $20 a dozen. One
dollar and sixty-five cents seems to the
San Francisco Chronicle like a big
mm to pay for a singlo peach, but
there arc plenty of men in England
who can afford tho luxury, even if it
is true that half the laborers in that
country who reach the age of sixty
years become paupers.
The vocabulary of electricity is daily
being augmented, and now it is pro¬
posed that as tho science of electricity
has no name of its own it shall bo
called “electrics.” The pair of words,
“electrics” and electrician would thus

mechanics and mechanician, mathem¬

ity performs two functions similar to
those which are separated in the case
of light aud optics, heat and thor-
motics, sound and acoustics.
The most powerful microscopes
render visible a point about one one-
hundred thousandth part of an inch
in diameter. There is reason for be¬
lieving that a single molecule is much
smaller even than that, One reason
for this has been deduced from the
soap bubble. Scientists, says Elec¬
tricity, have measured the thickness
of the envelope of soapy water enclos¬
ing the air of the bubble when it had
become so thin as to produce rainbow
tints. At the appearance of the shade
of violet it was one-fourtff the thick¬
ness of tho length of an ordinary
violet wave of light—one-sixty thou¬
sandths of an inch—thus making the
thickness equal to one-two hundred
and forty thousandths of an inch. As
the bubble continued to expand a
black patch formed adjacent to the
pipe from which the bubble was being
blown,and the thickness of such patch
has been found to be only one-fortieth
of the thickness of the violet section,
or about one-fifty millionth of an
inch. A.

Samuel Kimberly, United States
Consul General at Guatemaln, says
the labor question in Guatemala is in
a serious condition. The natives do
not care to work, except for their
present needs. They are honest in
one sense, and not in another; they
will not steal, but if they make a bar¬
gain with a man to work a week, and
they can make enough in three days
to cover their needs, they will drop
the job. This is one reason why
wages are so low. They do not care
to work a moment longer than is nec¬
essary to supply their daily wants.
A Philadelphia manufacturer of
musical instruments estimates that
there are over 10,000 regularly or.
ganized brass bands in Pennsylvania.
The majority of these are made up ol
twenty pieces, including two £ flat,
three B flat, three alto, two E flat
bass, one B flat bass, and one barytone
cornet, cornets, two trombones, two
B flat and one E flat clarionets, a pic¬
colo and two drums. The composition
of u village baud, however, is regu¬
lated according to no set standard,
and a band in the rural districts is any
number of men from five to twenty,
five, who can extract the semblance of
a tune from musical instruments, be
they drums or horns.
The Engineering ami Mining Jour¬
nal says: “Nothing moro forcibly
demonstrates the absurdity of our
barbarous system of weights and
measures than the compilation of
statistics. Wo have tons of 2240
pounds, of 2000 pounds and the metric
ton of 2204 1-2 pounds, or 1000 kilos,
to say nothing of the other special
tons used in certain industries. Wc
have ounces troy and avoirdupois,
and grains and grams, with innumer¬
able other weights. It is indeed high
time that alt civilized countries adopt
the single metric standard of weight*
nnd measures—in which case the
statistics compiled in one country will
bo available for comparison elsewhere
without necessitating the laborious
recalculation from one system into
the other.
One who visited the neighborhood
of Oneida, III., twenty-five years ago,
says that ho then found the farm ten¬
ant an unknown factor in the life of
the community; bnt now more than
one-half the owners of land there¬
abouts live in the villages or cities and
rent their farms to immigrants, mostly
Swedes. “The results of this landlord
and tenant system are beginning to
show themselves,” remarks the Spring-
field (Mass.) Republican, “in dying
orchards, falling fences, shabby build¬
ings and the conversion of dooryards
into barnyards. This case seems to be
representative of the situation in many
farming sections in Illinois, and no
doubt all over the West. It was in¬
tended that the last census should re¬
veal the extent to which the insidious
evil of landlordism in small and large
de^reo lias gained a hold in the United
States, and the figures will no doubt
be made public soon.”
The farmer finds it necessary to b*
something of a veterinarian, to care
for his animals when sick or well, an
entomologist, to know his friends and
his foes among the insects, a chemist,
to understand the nature of his soil
and of the fertilizers he needs to use,
a horticulturist, to kuow how to care
for his numerous varieties of fruits,
an artist, to establish in his mind the
ideal of perfection which he desires to
attain in the mating and breeding of
his stock, and a mechanic, that he may
learn how to judge of the merits and
handle intelligently all the labor-sav¬
ing machines that are offered for his
use, and a good salesman that he may
dispose of his products to the best ad¬
vantage. la it any wonder, asks the
Boston Cultivator, that there are but
few first-class farmers, capable in all
directions ? But there are a great
many good one, who fail in but little
of the above requirements. It is not
thought now that “the fool of the
family” should be made a farmer.

said, as sho seized my hand impulsively.

She gave them to me without opposi¬

that thrilled through and through me,
saying: “How can ho be silenced? Must

And Captain Fawcett’s face grew black
as he saw himself thus thrust aside.
I read the letters. The first, received

looked so libelous. Yet even in this
Cornelis had aoted with consummate
cunning, fears, I counting on Mr. Sarsfleld's
as presently found.
Now, when my good faith was proved
beyond admitted doubt to all except Fawcett, I wag
to a family conclave. I saw
poor Mr. Ban-field himself, weak and suf¬
fering, but still able to insist upon blind
submission ti- his persecutor's demand*.
I think Mr. Sarsfield would still have
spared Cornells Janssen sooner than mn
the risk of exposure.
Bather than agitate Mr. Sarsfield fur¬

He still hated me most cordially, bui
on grounds that were pardonable, aftei
all. Miss Bertram, I began to flatter my¬
self, decidedly preferred my society to
his, and I became, in consequence, more
devoted than ever.
It was evident that so long as Cornelil
was at large, and in a position to break
his promise or to renew his threats, Mr.
Sarsfield would know no peace of mind.
The truest kindness, in spite of his fears,
would be to oall his tormentor to strict
account for his crimes.
Happily Cornelis did not elude us long.

luo whole of these papers, with many
articles of a compromising character,
were found in Cornelis’ bed-room. I
handed them all over to Mr. Sarsfield
without examining them. The value he
set on them was my justification for this.
When, a few months later, I made Miss
Bertram my wife, I restored to her the
hairpin on which I had laid hands, ex¬
plaining why I had secured it. At the
same time I cleared up the few points
that had remained obscure in this ex¬

It was to implore the man to hold his

almost believed in her husband’s guilt.
She had confided her fears to Fawcett at
the end of the interview of which I
heard the commencement, who had be¬

first had been to shield Mrs. Sarsfield
