It is asserted that it i» not »n unusual
thing for women who frequently go buck
and forth between Canada and the
United States, nlong the border of the
Ontario peninsula, to wear a smuggling
bag. The contrivance is suspended
from the waist, reaches within a few
inches of (he hem of the skirt, and will
hold almost as much as a furniture van.
It is claimed that a wild grapevine
growing near the bank of the Saw
hatchee Creek, near Blakely, Ga., is the
largest, known. It is twelve inches in
diameter. Then? is a grapevine that
would give it a close rub on a point in
the St. John’s River, near Tocoi, Fla.
It grows between the roots and twines
among the branches of a live oak, tiro
trunk of which measures eight yards in
circumference.
Three hundred thousand copies would
boa small figure for the number of pic
tures of Mrs. Cleveland sold since the
announcement of her betrothal to the
President. The fortunate possessors of
early negatives at Buffalo, Albany •anil
Seneca Falls, N, Y., had a monopoly of
the trade at first, charging $35 a hun
dred for the cabinets, the pictures re
tailing for 50 cents each. Notwith
standing tlic competition of the later
photographers the prices hold firm, and
the market is active ami growing.
Europe, outside of Russia, crowds
244,000,000 of people upon a surface
much smaller than that held by out
00,000,000, says a writer in I'mnk Ln
He'll. In all Europe, exclusive ol
Russia, the average of population to
the square mile is 100, and in the Uni
ted States it is 10. For every loaf ol
bread tint a num gets in Europe, there
is ten times ns much st ruggling as for a
loaf in this country. Bread is dear,
therefore, and humanity is cheap, in
Europe. Humanity is more highly
rated here, and bread is cheaper.

It is expected that, before long a prac
tical tost of one of the numerous har
nesses for the control of Niagara's power,
brought into existenc under the stimu
lus <xf a $ 100.000 prize, will receive a
practical test, which will demonstrate
its use or prove it a failure, and give
something further on which to base ar
guments that Niagnr.i contains no great
shakes of available power. An endless
chain, with feathering buckets, was the
invention of a Buffalo man. The rights
for Erie and Niagara counties he sold
for $115,000. A stock company with
$1,000,000 capital is to be formed if the
coming test proves successful.
The wheat reserves of Europe in 1887
arc smaller than in any of the lust five
years, especially so on the continent.
Great. Britain will need to import next
year about 140.000.000 bushels wheat,
France, Holland and Belgium 20.000,-
000 each, Italy 18,000,000, Germany
10,000,000. The Dominion of ('amid i,
with a deficient wheat crop in Ontario
anil Quebec, will require all the surplus
of Manitoba. Besides this country,
Russia, Austria, Hungary. Roumaui:i,
British India, Australia, Egypt, Chili
and the Argentine Republic will each
have an export surplus of wh at to >cll
in the markets of the world.
Western towns which have n Ixtom
can appreciate the power ot the press.
The people of Tu -on, Arizona, Im.
R,OOO copies of their local paper nvry
month for the • purpose of sending ft
abroad, and in addition pay it S2OO a
month for special “write-ups. ’ The
town of Lamar, Col., recently paid the
local paper $1,500 for a “wtite up," ami
the citizens of Fort Scott, Kansas, have
just spent $7,000 in advertising the
town. Hutchinson, K ms.is, claims to
give its local paper a botni- ol - SIO,OOO
a year for remaining nlix. ami kicking,
while Newton, K n -. ays its pip, r
$15,000 a yeir. I’here is nothing at all
improjier in this, us the money is paid
for legitimate advertising. On the con
trary, it is very creditable to the citi
zens of those towns that they thus en
courage their local papers and at the
same time benefit themselves.

most influential parents ar: those
who know how to share the enjoyments
of their children.
We blame Fortuno for not visiting

lies nt our own doors in doing nothing

Experience is a good school, but it
keeps Us too long, and the tuition bills
are too costly for a fellow who is in a
hurry for a diploma.
A moderate understanding, with dili

go much farther than a more lively

Though years bring with them wis

seldom ever learn, namely, the manage

is under the dominion of hope.
Kind words produce their own image
in men’s souls, and a beautiful itn ige it

They shame him out of his unkind feel

Harem Life in Turkey.
The principal diversions of harem fife
consist in the visits of friends and of a
pernicious class of trading women, who
hawk about articles of dress and gew
gaws from one house to another retail
ing the latest gossip and scandal with
their wares, and assisting the ladies t«
get into all manner of scrapes. Wise
women who tell fortunes by cards and
incantations are also in great demand,
and their vaticinations arc as a rule be
lieved in by the ladies with much the
same delightful and blind confidence as
is given by fanners’ daughters to the
mysterious prophecies of the gypsies.
Now and then condign punishment
awaits these hags, as in the case of the
notorious Ayosha, who, several year?
ago, was called for one night, hustled
into a carriage under pretense of visiting
a great harem, and has never since been
heard of. But as a rule, their sorceries,
evil eyesand charms are perfectly harm
less, and when there is nothing better
to do they are called in to beguile tho
heavy hours. Nor must the men singers
be left out in tlie catalogue of delights
of tlie harem—a delight, nevertheless,
which is but sparingly indulged in, and
tan only be enjoyed to the full when the
harem’s lord is away.— l.omhm Saturday

A Museum of Religion.
Parisians who, in these latter days, nt
least, are not remarkable for the depth
or fervor of their religious feelings, are
about to have u museum of religious.
The founder of this remarkable nnd in
teresting institution is u M. Guimet.
Tlie building is in the Grieco-Roman
style of Architecture, and with its pil
lared porticoes, its rotundo, its columns,
nnd its caryatides, looks like an ancient
temple. It is situated near tlie Trocadcro,
at a corner of the Avenue d’Jena. The
edifice has been constructed after designs
which Were taken from tlie last mosaics
discovered at Pompeii. Tho religions
of Greece and Rome are most strongly
represented, alid in tlie northern gallery
is an atrium which is to contain the
altar of a pagan divinity copied from an
original model. In the lateral galleries
will be exhibited objects appertaining
to tho religions of Egyp’, India and
China. In a garden attached to the
building there is to be placed a large
conservatory and a pond containing
plantsconsecrated to religious uses. It
is stilted tint the museum will be opened
to tho public in a few weeks. — London

An African Nero.
King .Tn Jn, of Opobo, who has lately
been arrested by the British authorities
on the West Coast, is a monarch who
i bolioves in a vigorous system of gover-
I Inent. Ho is said to have lately be
headed 150 of his subjects to encourage
the remainder and to warn them that it
was advisable to obey his orders. How
ever, as fliis act was probably sanc
tioned by the constitution of Opobo,
he was not deposed on account
of it. He might have gone on be
heading the Opobo nobles with im
punity. or nt any rate til! tho next ris
ing; but tlie West African Nero came
to grief when he began to interfere with
the palm-oil traders. He had agreed to
allow free access to these merchants;
whereas, it is alleged, ho secretly in
stituted his well-drilled people not to
<ell oil to anybody but his own agents.
But the King's attempt at n •‘corner” in
oil was promptly suppressed by the Con
sul. nnd now liedaiiiguishe's in a British
dungeon, to the great relief of his wives,

AVo take pleasure in calling your
attention to a remedy so long needed
in carrying children safely through
the critical stage of teething. It is an
incalculable blessing to mother and
child. If you are disturbed at night
tvith a sick, fretful, teething child, use
Pitts’ Carminative, it will give instant
relief, and regulate the bowels, and
make teething safe and easy. It will
cure Dysentery and Diarrho ■■». Pitt
Carminative is an instant relief for
colic of infants. It will promote di
gestion, give tone and energy to the
stomach and bowels. The sick, puny,
suffering child will soon become the
fat and frolicing joy of the household.
It is very pleasant to tjie taste and
only costs 25 cents jer bottle. Sold
by druggists.
