Smith, a l*hila<lc!|ihiti philan thropist, has presented the Sanitarium 'Association of that city with $25,000, ac companied by the request that the sum be devoted to the purchase of a steam boat for transporting children to the out-of-town groves and resorts during the long, hot summer days of coming years. One of the latest achievement* of s< i encc, remarks the New York H'wZd, is the measurement of a snail’s pace. It has just been demonstrated that a snail can go a mile in I I days. Science should now attempt to discover how long it takes the average messenger boy to go ’the same distance in marble-playing 'season. I King Humbert, of Italy is reported to have said in a recent conversation that the best monarchy is the one in which the king is felt everywher, without be ing observed. “And the best republic?” he was asked. “It is that one,” was the reply, “where, as in America, the genius of the people has so deeply penetrated every fibre of the social fabric that no place remains for a king.” 1 The jailer of the Pueblo county jail, 'Colorado, permitted one of the prisoners to play the violin evenings. The other night the scraping began at an early hour, and ha* kept up continuously and vigorously until late, when it ceased. In the morning the jailer found that, under cover of the music, four prisoners uud sawed off a portion of a window casing, worked a big stone out of place and escaped. A prominent hotel steward in Chicago makes a goo I income by teaching wealthy but inexperienced epicures the art of dining. His methods are very agreeable. He dines with his patrons at fashionable restaurants, orders ami explains various dishes, interpreting the French mimes. When people wi-h to give little suppers, he teaches the servants, talks with the housewife, and even makes excursions to the markets, where he teaches tho best ways of selecting food. There are 400 Mormon Bishops in Utah, 2,423 Pr c-fx, '',••l7 Teachers, and 6,854 Deicons. Silt Lake City is di vided into ward . of i ight or nine blocks each, mid a Bishop is put ill charge of each ward. I udcr him there are two teachers, whose lui-im is to learn the employment mid income of every resident of the ward and report th? same to the Bishop. Then the Bishop i olhets the < tenth of ea h man's income mi l turns it i over to the church authorities.

Fora long time th ■ pre- nt pound has been regirdel a- an inconvenient unit of monetarv valui and nu n -ehemes have been propo-.-d to remedy the limit. The London ('h unber o Commerce has now under eousidei iti.m a plan miking the four shilling pie e the unit of value or dollar, mid dividing it into cents By this plan nearly all the existing coin-can be utilized without creating any con fu sion from having a double standard of unit value in fonu.

Louis Bnydcn, a blind man who died , at Worcester, Mass., the other day, had I his sense of touch so developed that he could tell the denomination of a bank note by feeling it, and in weeding a large garden he count always distinguish a young vegetable plant from a weed. Next year (1888) will bc’a peculiar one in this respect : That the last three nu merals w hich compose it will be the same figures, a circumstance which can only occur once in a century, or, more strictly speaking, once in every 111 years, as it will be 111 years before another “three of a kind ” (1999) will be reached. There is a colored man in a New York hospital who has a patch of light colored skin on his back. It was grafted there, behaving lost the original cuticle by fulling against a roller in a shoe factory, 'flic pieces wcrc.taken from the arms of n young medical student. At first the transplanted skin remained white, but it is said to be slowly turning black. An animal with the head and tad of an alligator, mid the back and claws of a tortoise, is on exhibition at the store of George Hulse, a Liverpool (England) im porter of turtles. It is called an alligator tortoi -e, and was captured by an Eng lish sailor in the swamps near New Oi lcans. The English naturalists have never seen anything like it before, and are trying to buy it for a public museum. How Cigars Are Made. The tobacco leaf is received at the factory in bales, mid the first process is to dampen or “blow” it for the strippers. The strippers arc usually girls, though boys are employed also. They receive the dampened tobacco leaves, and their business is to strip the leaves from the center stalk that runs through the middle of each leaf. This is done by hand, and requires some dexterity, which can only be acquaircd by practice. An expert stripper earns $1.25 a day, the less ex peri seventy-five cents and sl. The stalks are tin own into a heap at one side, to be sold to flic florists and gardeners for fumigating purposes, mid the leaves are made up into bundles, to be distributed among the cigarmakers at the various benches. Every day each cigannakcr receives a certain weight of tobacco leaves, out of which he must make a certain number of cigars. From eight to lifteen pounds a thousand, a cording to their size, is the weight of the ordinary siz.es, 'I he tools of a cigannakcr consist of a square cutting board, a sharp knife, like that used by shoemakers, and a pot of gum. Taking up some of the broken leaf in his left hand, he rolls it up with the right, cither up or down, according ns he has been taught. A Spanish cigar maker always rolls it down, while a German always rolls it up. This makes the tiller. The art of making the filler consists in milking the grain of the leaf all one way, and so as to run from the end of the cigar. Then the fire burns with the grain, and the cigar is said to smoke w ell. When a smoker has a cigar that won't draw, in all probability it was i made by a novice, and the filler was ar ranged, topsy-turvy, or against the gran. The filler being made, ordinary work men with ordinary cigars next put on a I binder, which is a large smooth leaf, to I envelop the filler, mid then put on the , wrapper, a narrow strip of smooth leaf i rolled round and round obliquely toward the top. and fastened there w ith a touch of gum. The Spanish workman making the lie-t quality of cigars puts the wrap per around the tiller, without n binder. When well made this proves to be the best cigar for smoking. Ago id work j man can make 1,0(10 cigars a week, , though it takes hard w ork to do it. The | pay is according to the quality of tho cigar, from $1 sto $35 per 1,000. When I the tillers are made in n mould, from $8 th sls per thousand is paid. Alter being ' made the cigars are taken to another bench, w here they are assorted accord ing to color, after w hich they me packed in boxes, branded, labeled and stamped, •md then they are ready lor the market.— Chirujo Tribune. How B.'eswax is Made. It is no mere extraneous sub-tanee which needs only to be collected lor use; it is a bit of organic home manufacture. If you examine the under surface of a cell budding worker you will find be neath the abdomen four pairs of white plates projecting from a- many pockets in the im a-ing rings of this pint of the body. These are the wax plates, made from the life blood of the worker. Ex amine now w ith a lens one of the hinder legs. You will find that the stoutest joints are very square shouldered at the hinge, and that the hinge is well over to one side, so that the shoulders form a pair ol .i ws, which open when the limb is bent, and close when it is straightened. The upper naw has a row of spines which bite ou a yl'.te on the lower jaw. With this apparatus, piercing it with these swines, ttie worker withdraw-, a wax plate from its pccket. transfers it to the front legs, and theme to the mouth, where it is laboriously masticated with a salivary secretion. Unless it under goes this process it lacks the ductility requisite for cell making. M'lrray't BEMESEO ROAD CART! J First Premium and Gold Medal 7 l\ New.

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure, Eightycarfl of careful experiment and pains taking research have resulted in the discovery of an infallible specific for the cure and pre vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy of the feathered tribe—Cholera. After the fullest and fairest tests possible, in which ♦•very claim for the remedy was fully substantiated, the remedy was placed upon the market, and everywhere a single trial has been all that was squired to prove it a complete success. Tho directions for its use arc plain and simple, and the cost of the remedy so small that the saving of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its effect is almost magical. If the remedy is i given as directed, the course of tho disease is i stopped at once. Given occasionally as u pre- ! there need be no fear of Cholera, I which annually kills more fowls than all other diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cor- j tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry , raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It will do all that is claimed for it. Read the fol lowing testimonial : STATE OF GEORGIA, Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887 To tho Public: Tho high character of the testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together with his well known reputation for truth and veracity, afford convincing evidence of the high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure ho is now offering upon the market. If I were en gaged in the business, I would procure a bot tle of his medicine, little doubting the success that would attend its administration. Yours truly, J. T. HENDERSON, Com’r of Agriculture.
