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, since die United States now gets the bulk of its sugar from German beo^ -t and Cuban sugar plantations. Tbopi *ae“"t?nTted strongly auxipiqs for States, 1 with union with which commercial interests will al way. 4 be oJoso’v identified. 1 hose islands, too, arc important to us, an sojk lot ill io our commerce with Asia the Pacific ocean will bo larger that with Europe across the At tic. 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 \ye» Id sleep. 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. jlvslke y ol k »rut ft.
