If as many cigarettes are. marie by
smokers themselves as by manufacturers
- ns is probably the cnse---sonic 2,400,-
000,001) of these “wicked little articles”
arc now consumed yearly in America.
That means n I rout 100 for- every male in
habitant, or sixty-eight for every man,
• woman rind child in the United States.
New York state, Virginia and North
Carolina have a monopoly of the manu
facture. Some 50,000,000 cigarettes not
included in the above figures have also
been imported from Europe.
The San Erancisco I'.r.i iiiinir says that
the steamship City of Sydney, which
recently arrived in that port, brought
SOO,OOO worth of Chinese girls to replen
ish the slave quarters of that city.
Though such importation is against the
Chinese restriction net, against the con
tract lalmr act, and against a still .older
law, their owners find no serious diffi
culty in landing these costly chattels. A
few dollars for witnesses, something
more for u lawyer, and $17.50 apiece
for court fec< will settle the matter.
in n lending editorial the London
remarks: “When an American
ilevotes himself to a tusk of practical
skill he is apt to he hard to beat, in it.
Americans have not so many outdoor
pursuits ns We have, but such ns they
have they take very seriously. They
have given us the lu st tishing-rods and
their skill in casting Ihe fly would put
our be t anglers on their mettle. They
can shoot and they can ride in their
own way ns well ns the best of us, ns
the ‘Wild West’ has shown. We can
hold our own in rowing, but they beat
us in sailing. T hey arc beginning to
compete with us in horse racing, and
in trotting matches they have no rivals.
They are nowhere besides us in cricket,
but their skill in base ball, a game
which has a science of its own, is
marvellous. ”
A t at Caprice.
t'ntsnre the favorite pets at present,
and this caprice dates from Luchon,
where Frenchwomen were varying little
kittens about during the late season.
They are now earn 'd about on a little

it is prophesied, occupy the inside of
the big muffs that an; about to appear,

In her pocket there is usually a tiny

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
Astronomical authority fixes the light
emitted by all tin- stars upon the Surface
of the globe as equal to one-tenth of
I the light of the full moon.
The famous gold and silver work
which gave Damascus a reputation
. throughout the world is said to havo
j fallen into drray. Fino goldsmith’s
work is no longer asked for, ami all that
Europe seems to require are cheap speci
mens of silver plated filagree work, such*
bracelets, brooches anil armlets.
The following is a list of the heaviest
1 hammers in Europe from an historical
point of view : Fr. Krupp, Essen, 1868,
forty tons; Terni Works, Italy, 1873,
fifty tons; Creusot, France, 1887, eighty
, tons; Cockerill, Belgium, 1885, one
( hundred tons; Fr. Krupp, Essen, 1886.
I one hundred and fifty tons. The last
is n w the heaviest steam hammer in
the world.
I'he carrying Capacity of a railway car
of t< n tons tins been figured on by sorne
! body, who gives this as n result: Wheat,
fit 6 bushels; corn, 400 bushels; pota
-1 toes, 430 bushels; apples, 370 bushels;
; oats, 680 bushels; lumber, 6000 feet;
butter, 20,000 pounds; flour, 90 barrels;
' whiskey, 60 barrels; wood, 6 cords;
| cattle, 18 to 20 head; hogs, 50 to 60
head, and sheep, 80 to 100.
Professor Gould has ascertained that
aerial telegraph wires on poles transmit
electricity at the rate of from 14,000 to
16,000 miles per second, and that the
velocity of transmission increases with
the distance between the wires and the
earth, or, in other words, with the height
i of suspension. Hubterrancan wires, like
submarine cables, transmit slowly.
Wheatstone s experiments in 1833 seemed
to show a velocity of 288,000 miles per
second, but this result has never been
confirmed.
The experiment of fishing with elec
tric lamps enclosed in glass globes as a
litre to the prey has not as yet provDl a
success. A vessel thus equipped re
cently made a cruise to the Isle of Man.
The lamps were sunk with the beam of
the net to the depth of forty or fifty
fathoms, the glass globe having been
three-eighths of an inch thick, but the
pressure of the water was too great fol
the glass, which broke, and the lights
went out. Experiments with stronger
glass arc to be made.
Powdered glass is largely taking the
place of sand in the manufacture of sand
paper. It is readily pulverized by heat
ing it red hot ami throwing it into
water, the finishing being done in ay
iron mortar. By the use of sieves of
different sized meshes, the powder is
separated into various grades. A strong
paper or muslin is tacked down and
covered with a strong of glue, the
surface covered with powdered glass,
and when the glue is dry the surplus
glass is shaken or brilshed off.
Why is it that a boat sailing before the
wind w ill not go as fast as one sailing with
the same wind on the quarter? It is
this, says a nautical authority: A boat
sailing before the wind can go no faster
than the wind that drives it. A boat
sailing with the wind on the quarter
has the force of the wind continually
pushing*it. That is, when the boat ac
quires a speed equal to that of the wind
the force still beam upon its sails; as
one walking across a current of air will
always feel it, but when walking with
that same velocity with the current will
feel no wind.
Two interesting physical experiments
are amusing French scientific men. In
the first a lighted candle is placed be
hind a bottle and the hitter is blown
upon with the breath at a distance of
about n foot. The meeting of the air
currents set in motion around the bot
tle quickly extinguishes the flume,
though extinction would bo impossible
if a flat board or sheet of cardboard
should be substituted for the bottle.
For the second experiment two bottles
are placed on a table with a space of
half an inch between them. The can
dle is set behind this space and from the
same distance as before, on the opposite
side, the breath is blow n smartly against
the flame. Not only will the latter con
tinue burning, but it will incline
slightly toward the operator as .if
through the effort of suction. This
phenomenon, analogous to the first, is
due to the fact that a portion of the aii
cannot pass between the bottles, and is
forced mound them and back toward
the experimenter.
The Cardinal's Hat.
The peculiar red hat worn by the car
dinals for a few moments when they re
ceive their titles, thesnnle asthe one that
ean be se> n suspended over the altar in
St. Patrick’s Cathedral, has arrived from
Homo for Cardinal Gibbons. The shape
of this hut is somewhat like a big Mexi
can sombrero, and it has a bunch of
thirteen tassels ranged in graduated
lines attached to the side. When the
cardinal gets his ring and titleone of
those hats is put on his head for n few
minutes by the pope, and then it
is taken off and never use.l again.
When the cardinal dies it is put at
the loot of his bier, and when he is
i Jmried it is susp Hided over the altar of
I his church until his successor is np
i pointed just asthe one that can now be
seen at tli ■ cathedrals. When Cardinal
Gjibons got bis title Irst year in Home
I the same hat was use I for himself and
I,he other cardinals created at the same
film'. The red hat that has just arrived
| heri is for his personal use. Another
hat was sent to Cardinal Tasehercau,for
me Archbishop of Quebec.--.V r York

A Monarch of the Mountains.
Fifty miles from the head of Com
mencement bay, the southeastern ex
. treinity of Puget sound, towers Mount
Ta. onia, the highest peak in the I’nited
States, with the single exception of
Mount St. Elias, in Alaska. Seen trom
the city of Tacoma, this is undoubtedly
the most imposing mountain upon the
continent. Even late in June the crests
of the Cascade range are white with
snow, giving them an appearance of as
great altitude as the mountain chains of
Colorado seen from the elevated
plateaus or valleys of that region, yet
th • Cascades seem to nestle at the very
feet of kingly Tacoma, ami are dwarfeii
to low lying hills by its siqx : ior height.

of an infallible specific for the cure and pre

fullest and fairest tests possible, in which < very

the remedy was placed upon the mar! t, ami
everywhere a single tri.d b n b< en all that was
required to prov< it a comph tb success, ihe
directions for its us* ai c plain and simpl •. and
the cost of the re med v s > small that the saving
of a single fowl wilf repay tin expense. Its
effect is almost magical. It the remedy in
given as directed, the course ot the disear-e is

Aentive. there need be no fear < f Cholera,
which annually kills more iowl-i than all other

To the Public: The high eharaeter of the
