There is in Boston a Society for the
Preservation of Beautiful Places; and
it is suggested that it would be a good
idea for (lie society to persuade rail*
load companies to beautify the land
along their tracks.

In the wav of 1883 Bolivia took
iho part of Peru, and when it re¬
tailed disastrously suffered the samo
humiliation. It is now reported that
Chile, to detach Bolivia from her
natural ally, lias offered her the pro*
vinccs in dispute.
A Connecticut oyster farmer is
arming a thirty-two foot 4 ‘cruiser’'
with cannon and a search light that
will search for three miles to protect
his beds from ihe depredations of
pirates. Following the moral of that
story, comments the Boslou I ranscript,
ho mentis to give them the shells utul
kcop the oyster himself.
About $40,000,000 is paid every
year iu Germany for the creation and
preservation of forests; 20,000 luini
lies arc supported from them, while
something like 3,000,000 find employ¬
ment in the various wood industries
of the empire. The total revenue
from the forests amounts to $14,500,
000 and the current expenses are $8,-
500,000. _
In 1870 we produced a little more
than onc-fifih of the world’s supply of
lead; in 1880 the product of the
United States was equal to a third of
the world’s supply. The figures for
1892 are not at hand, but tlie proba¬
bilities me, states the Boston Cultiva¬
tor, that they will show a much
greater increase of production from
1888 to 1882 than those for the years
1870-88.
The Hawaiian Islands are not pros.'
perous, Icarus the Boston Cultivator,

bulk of its sugar from German beo^

In the opinion of the New York
Commercial Advertiser one of the most
interesting of scientific, ov rather an,
thrapological, discoveries is the fact
tliat among ad savage tribes the beau*
ties of the women are those who tie
part least widely from the best canons
Of the beautiful as recognized by the
instiledc Greeks. The obvious deduo
tiou from this fact, if it be established
that it is a fact, is that the laws of
beauty are fundamentally the saute
and that they are deeper than the
mere results of accidental circum
stance, The theme is one which ir,
were worth wliilo to have carefully
followed out and studied.
There lias been quite a revolution
Of late years in many countries in re ¬
gard to die connection between eating
and sleeping, and it is said that a rad¬
ical change is likely to take place be*
Coro long in the practice of a great
many families in England. The pop¬
ular idea is that eating at night is
highly-injurious to the constitution.
It is now recognized ibat nature con.,
tradicts this notion. Provided a man
Is hungry and his stomach is in proper
condition, the practice is not only tin
injurious but rather beneficial. To go
io bed on an empty stomach is apt to
drive sleep away altogether. Three
or fou* hours before bedtime a sub.
staniial dinner or supper should bo
taken every night by those who have
an inclination for it, and especially
tly delicate p rsonsor invalids. Por¬
sons invariably fee! drowsy after a
heavy meal, and on the otliei baini,
Wakefulness is often merely an indi¬
cation of hunger. The digestive or.
gans having finished with i:, the blood
flows once more to the head, bringing
With i consciousness. The prevalent
notion seems to be that the digestive
organs rest simultaneously with the
brain. Physiology does not support
this proposition. Innumerable cases
can unfortunately alwa >' s Le found of
men, women and ohildrcu complain
ing of sleeplessness solely occasioned
by°hlinger, immediately the satisfying bo followed of which by

Thiritia million people in Euglaud
ate said to be non-church goers. 1
Since 1831, it is said, over a million
Bibles have boon distributed among
the German troops under the direction
of the Emperor.
Maine granite is now sold in Scot
iuiid for less than Scotia granite, and
agricultural machinery made in the
United States is driving out similar
machinery made in Europe.
Cotton growing is contrasted with
fruit growing in Georgia by the
Southern Cultivator, in showing that
at Moreland, in that State, 25,000
acres of cotton produced a value this
year of $57,500, while 075 acres of
fruits, mostly peaches and grapes,
yielded $170,750.
A Railway Passengers’ Protective
Association, with an earl at its head,
lias recently been formed in England,
to look after the protection of those
who travel by rail. It will also guard
the rights of ticket holders, and in
general will seek to represent the trav¬
elling public in all disputes with vail
ways.
The fact that young men have little
chance in Canada as compared with
older men is said to be the chief refl
son why so many Canadian young
men leave for the States, ‘•Is not
something like this the fact on most
farms?” asks the Boston Cultivator.
“Does it not explain why the boys and
girls seek other work than the farm
provides as soon as they arc of legal
age, if not before. In the city the boy
can get. a place, earn money and be
able to spend some part of it at least
as lie pleases, Would it not be better
for fanners if they allowed their boys
at home the samo chance.”
Ernest Kohl, one of the leading civ¬
il engineers and railroad managers of
Germany, has made a careful compila'
tion of the railroad mileage of die
world and finds that the total is 375,
000 miles, and that between the years
1887 and 1889 the incieaso was 5.26
per cent. In Europe lie finds one
mile of railroad for every twenty"
seven miles of territory and 3.7 miles
for every ten thousand inhabitants.
In the United States the figures show
one mile of railroad for every 19 3
square miies of territory and twenty
six miles for every ton thousand in¬
habitants. The value of all the rnil
roads in the world is placed at $32,-
115,000,090.
The English press continues to be
tilled with the gloomiest pictures of
the condition of the English farmers.
Competition with cheap American
grain and meat is constantly becom¬
ing more hopeless, Wheat is now but
twenty-nine shillings a quarter (Ies9
than ninety-one cents a bushel) in
Loudon, where twenty years ago it
was fifiy-two shillings a quarter
($1.62 a bushel), The farmers
thought they could save themselves by
turning their wheat fields into pas¬
tures, which process has continued
until there are only 2,300,000 acres
sown to wheat iu England. Then
cheap meat from America, Australia
and South America came to take away
the profit on pastures, and it is esti¬
mated that the live stock of Great
Britain is worth from $50,000,000 to
$100,000,000 less today than it was a
year ago.
A correspondent of the North China
Daily News writing from Chinkiaug
uses this suggestive language: “Any
reader of history can see as plainly
as he reads this letter that the causes
which led to the downfall of the Ro¬
man empire are vigorously at work in
Ukiua today, and one of those causes
is omnipresent, abject, grinding pov¬
erty by the side of enormous wealth.
It has been said lkat tlie income of tlie
Taotai here is nearly three times as
much as that of the President of the
United States. Hundreds of Chinese
would be eager to accept the position
of coolie at the rate of four Mexican
dollars a month and keep themselves.
There are many poor wretches in this
badly governed empire who are in the
p«ition of the Arctic explorers when
the food became so scathe that they
were obliged to subsist on tlia leather
book covers. The true philanthropist
who considers the situation, the stress
of hunger and squalor to bo undergone
this winter by this patient, suffering
people, will feel bis heart sick, and if
he has the sun-pathos he will open
wide his purse, notwithstanding the
fact that his help will be but a drop iu
the bucket.”
Plays a Leading Part.
“You would call a blind man’s dog
an insignificant part of the great life
drama that is going on around us?”
“1 would.”
“And yet he plays a leading part.”
A Wonderful Collection of Coins.
The Philadelphia mint has a wonderful
collection of coins. Among other
curiosities it includes what is believed to
be the oldest piece of metal money ever
made, which was minted is in in Angina high relief, about
representing 700 B. C. The tortoise design crawling
a across
the face of the coin. It has no date.
Dates on coins were unknown up to 400
years ago. The very early coins bore
designs only on one face. Of all coins
that ever existed the smallest in value
wa 3 the “mite,” such as the widow in
the Bible dropped through the slot of
the poor box. The most valuable coin in
the collection described is a Chinese
piece worth $220. It is simply a rect¬
angular chunk of gold stamped gold with
Chinese characters. Lumps of are of
commonly used in China for currency
large denominations. A coin minted in
Egypt bears the head of Queen Arsinoe,
who was Cleopatra’s great-grandmother. great-great-great- Queer¬
great-great the coins those from Siam
est of all are
—irregular roundish lumps of that silver,
from the bigness of a walnut to of
half a buckshot. Modern coins, though
the mechanical processes greatly for improved, producing
them have been so are
far inferior artistically to those of
ancient times. In Babylon of old,which
fell before coining was invented, gold
and silver were weighed earliest out with scales
for use as money. The form of
money is still in use to-day in southern
Asia, che islands of the Pacific ocean and
parts of Africa, where cowrie shells are
the favorite negotiable medium. They
are usually quoted at about 100 for two
cents. Most of them are obtained from
the Maidive and Laccadive Islands in the
Arabian sea.—[Washington Star.
Habits Agunst Which Children
Should Be W arner.— Children should
be warned against the indiscriminate
fashion they have of putting everything doors.
in their mouths while out of
Biting at their gloves is a very common
trick, and even money is often held be¬
tween their teeth while making change.
People do not realize that their children
are constantly carrying things in their
mouths unless they begin to notice them
particularly in regard to it, and they will
then be astonished to see what a child prevail¬
ing habit it is. Give a young an
umbrella, a stick, a pencil to hold, and
the chances are that it will be in the month
within five minutesand when one considers
how many dangerous diseases can be, and
are, introduced into the system solely
through the mouth, it is easy to under¬
stand why one cannot be too careful.
Even rubbing the face with the fingers
in any way should always be stopped.
Many people have the habit of putting
the hands to the face for no reason what¬
ever, and they might unconsciously. easily carry germs
to the mouth Frequent
ablution is also a great preventive would doubtless of con¬
tagious diseases, and it
be a good plan if nurses saw to it that
the faces and hands of their little
charges were thoroughly washed when¬
ever they return from an outimr.
