Mr. W. B. Tcgetmeier, who is a great
- puthority on pigeons, says that in spite
of the nonsense written about flying by
instinct, all practical men know that a
bird tlies by sight, and he has lost some
of .the best birds he ever owned by
trying to fly them across London fogs.
A New York writer says thaxthe two
principal causes which have led to de—
f Cline in matrimony among' fashionable
circles in .\‘cw York are the "increased
comforts and diminished expense of
bachelor life and the over-worship to
which we have accustomed our women.“
Tho largest single store building in
America. a structure of seven stories in
height. with a floor area aggregating
seven and a quarter acres,,will soon be
under way in St. Louis. The princrpal
front is designed to be 270 feet long. and
to rise to the height of 125 feet above
the pavement. The building will cost
not. less than $000,000.
,1 case of poisoning by nutmeg is re-
corded in theéflritish .llaliml Jou null. in
which one nutmeg had been eaten by a
’paticnt as acure for diarrlnra. It caused
him to become giddy, stupid and very
drowsy all next day. 'l‘hcnarcotic proper~
ties of these seeds, as of others of the
same natural order. do not appear :to be
generally kritiwwfrl seem worthy of in~
vestigation.
In the exhibition recently opened at
Havre there is an interesting collection of
specimens of poisonous fishes. Some are
poisonous when eaten ; others are merely
venomous. Among the first are many
Spareids, a Tctrodon, and many Hopes.
which are abundant near the l‘npc of
Good Hope. ‘ In the Japan Sea is found
a very peculiar 'I‘etrodon, which is somc~
times used as a means ofsuicide. It brings
on sensations like those produced by inor~
phia, and then death.
A Western writer plainly sets the limits
’to girlhood and dares to say when a wo~
man is an “old maid.“ She says: The
longevity of girlhood. according to the
ethics of society, has increased in the last
dozen or fifteen years. A girl is not an
“old rnaiv " now until she is past thirty.
Once she was an “old maid“ at twenty-
' five. the is a girl now for five years be
yond that age. It is even deemed not.
only possible but probable that some man
will find her fair and lovable after that
advanced age and she marry.

paper attacks is to be a Christian. The

Artists usually spend their vacation in
a most unique manner. since their search
for the picturesque leads them into un-
tried ways, and results in new discoveries,
‘An artist writes ho:uc“from n nook in
North Scotia that he has found tint
ocencry, interesting people and new man»
rim of livingLfor an expense. which is'
certainly intinitcsnnrl. To be sure, he
lives chiefly'on fish, but he. has the novel
pleasure of seeing on a bridge in thr
evening a gay dance by Acadian youthS
and maidenS, and of observing many
picturesque customs.

Mrr-A. \V. Franks has presented to the
British Museum a most. remarkable coin
lately received from India. It 'lS e
decadrachm of the Bactriau series, the
first. evermet with, and bears on the ob-
verse a man charging with his lance an
elephant, holdinga thunderbolt and a
spear; in the field is a monogram, com—
posed of the letters A B. The obverse
records some victory of the Greeks over
the barbarians, and the reverse may be a
representation of Alexander the Great.
The coin evidently comes from the dis-
trict of the Oxus, and was struck about
the middle of the second comm-LB. C.
Two interesting bits of information
‘relative to Colombia, the little Central
American republic, are made‘ public.
The first states that “the Government of
Colombia is authorized to grant a re-
ward of 010,000 in silver to every one
who discovers a 'new mercantile article
of export. Under this law Senor Rafael
Vanega has filed two éclaims, one for the
discovery and employiuent of a valuable
medicinal plant: the second for the dis-
oorery that wild cocoa trees exist in
profusion in the virgin forest: which
stretch from the waters of the Ariar-l
down to the River Guayaboro. If inves-
tigation should‘prove the correctness of
this statement, it will throw million: 0'
dollars annually into Colombia and place
I valuable article within the reach of
irony who are now deprived of the use
1 of it owing todthe price." The second
I: says that “a newspaper at Bogota

In a pamphlet‘issued lately by the
United States Hydrographic Ofliee.
Lieutenant Underwood says that. min-
eral oils are not so effective for use at
sea as vegetable or animal. A compara-
tively small amount of the right kind of
oil. say two quarts per hour, properly
used, is sufficient, he asserts, to prevent
much damage, both to vessels and to
small boats, in heavyseas. The great-
est result from oil is obtained in deep
water. In a surf, or where water is
breaking ona bar, the effect is not so (‘th
tain; but even in this case oil may be of
benefit, and its use is recommended by
Lieutenant Underwood. IIe advises
that, when an attempt is about to be
made to board a wreck, the approaching
vessel should use the oil after running as
close as possible under the lee of the
wreck. . The wreck will soon drift into
the oil, and then a boat may be sent along-
side of her. ‘ '
The bleak, inhospitable shore of La—
brador. which is not designed for white
habitation, has frequently been the thea-
tre of dcstitution and suffering to the
helpless ones who there are compelled to
abide; therefore the distressing story of
starvation that has come to us, says the
(‘ultimtor, unveils a condition of things
that has frequently‘bcforc borrowed the
public mind. Fishing is the sole indus-
try of its people, and for nrnrly every
other necessary they have to depend upon
the irregular visits of provision-bearing
consting vessels. The supply of food,
outside of that. which the sea affords, is
never great, and delay in the arrival of
the supply vessels invariably occasions
suffering. The last terrible report of
famine is pitiful in the t‘xlfv'llh‘dllltl there
can be no doubt.if the reports be correct,
that unless relief comes immediately, the
settlement will be converted into a silent
habitation of the dead.
#—
Some singular statements have been
made concerning the effect produced by
differcnt trades and industrial oceupa~
lions upon the general health. Among
these facu are those contributed by Pro
fessor IIcsse, of Leipsic, who points out
the deplorable Condition of the tt‘cth of
bakers, and who also asserts that he is
frequently able to indicate“ the occupa-
tion of persons by the condition of their
teeth. In the case of bakers the caries
is soft and rapidly progressive. ‘ The
principal parts attacked are the labial
and buccal surfaces of the. teeth. cotu~
mcnciug at the cervix and rapidly cx~
tending to the grinding surface ~thc ap~
proximal surfaces not seeming to be at
tacked moré than in other trades. “‘l‘ro
fcssor llessc believes that the disease is
owing,r to the inhalation of flour dust, the
caries being caused by the action of an
acid which is formed in the presence or
fermentnble cartmhydmtcs.
It is asserted, says the (‘incinnnti
(‘onwtrrciul-Gorilla, “ that the averagt
turn of human life in civilised and
Christian countries is materially inert-as
jug. and we have no doubt. that better
and more sensible attention to diet is
one important reason for this desirable
effect. The increased consumption of
fruit deserves to be considered as a gov-
erning cause for this gratifying fact.
No wonder, then, that fruit and vegcta
'(ble growing, and the preservation or
both by canning, have become of pro
digious consequence in the country. For
example, it is reckoned that. the produo
tion of these commodities will equal a
rnilliou caScs in the State of Californit
alone, while in all portions of tilt
land the comparative increase is great, it
not so very remarkable in ratio._ In fact
the distance between the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts, and the expense 0!
transportation necessitated thereby, will
ever prevent the former from fully
supplying the latter, so that fruit raising
is likely to remain a profitable business
on this side. There is no good reason
why our farmers should not. club to
gether in neighborhoods, and do their
own canning, both of vegetables and
fruits. California‘s fruit product is un-
questionably very fine, but so long as tht
freight on a carload thereof from San
Francisco and vicinity to Chicago re
mains at $250, there is no reason why
home producers should desist from
doing all the fruit business they can.
As population increases the home do
*maud will also increase; and if even but
one good crop of peaches be realized in
a five-year period, the producer will
ascertain that the resultant profits per
decade will at least equal those of any
cereal he may attempt to raise.

A Mother‘s Retort.
An American mother, traveling in
France, altered a halfsfare ticket for her
son, who lacked several months of the
fulbfaru age. The collector looked
suspiciously at. the child and at her.
“Your son, is be under seven, madame l"
“He is, monsieur.“ “Your son is very
large for his age, madame.” “He is,

man, exasperated at the American‘s cool-
ness. “Oui,‘m’onseiur, that may be,"
retorted the mother calmly. “He is not

A GREAT RAILROAD DEAL.
A~ Syndicate “in Control of the
Baltimore and (Mia Road.
The Oflicial Statement of th

' The announcement that a powerful syudL
cute of bankers has obtained control of the
Baltimore arr-l Ohio Railroad makes public
the most important railroad ‘ teal” tliathas
been consummated in many years, and lifts
the financial cloud which has rested upon the
stock market for some months. By this new
arrangement the Baltimore and Ohio road
passed into the hands of capitalists friendly
to the Pennsylvania Railroad, and upon
terms which remove it as a disturbing
factor in the trunk~lino situation, and
make it really a part of a railroad combinm
tion that. on em more miles of territory than
any other system in the world. The onicial
annouuxernent of the deal, issued from the
oilin- of llrexel, Morgan A“, (30., the New

"A pn-lr‘mumry contract has been executed
today between the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
