BUOKI’NGHAM palace has received its new coat Of paint, and will be creamc» white till winter comes. A WORLD’S record' in swimming on the back 100 yards in '77 1- 5 seconds was made recently by C. Martin in a race in England. ATOM PAINE exhibition is to be held in December in a London chapel, of all places. It is true the chapel is Moncure D. Conway’s. BREST will probably be soon made once more the starting point of French steamers for New York. Nearly a. day will be saved thereby in the voyage. THE bishop of Carlisle boasts that he “can sew a button on better than any woman.” The late bishop of Worces- ter learned to knit, so as to be able to take up his wife’s dropped stitches when she grew old. DONATELLO’ s famous altar in the church of St. Anthony at Padua' is to be reconstructed according to the original plan, making use of the fragments and bronze figures belonging to it, which are now scattered all over the church. AT Delphi a fourth Greek hymn has been discovered by the French. It is in honor of Dionysius, belongs to the fourth' century before Christ, being thus earlier than the other hymns, and has no musical notation. It contains much historical information. , A RAILROAD across ' Arabia, from Ismailia on the Suez canal to the head of the Persian gulf, following as near- ly as possible the thirteenth degree of latitude for nearly a thousand miles, is now under consideration. The engi- neering difficulties are not serious. MILITARY. DURING the days when armor was heaviest the cavalry was the slow mov- ing army of the service, all movements requiring celerity being- executed by infantry. HOT shot as well as chain and grape shot, when first employed, were de- clared to be inventions Of the devil, and not to be sanctioned among civilized nations. IN the fourteenth century the slaugh- ter of women and children after a town or castle had been taken by storm was one of the most common occurrences Of war. CLEARCHUS, the Spartan, laid down as one of the maxims of war the state- ment that a soldier ought to fear his own general more than he did the whole hostile army. DURING the war between Richard I. of England and Philip Augustus Of France, prisoners on both sides were blinded as a means of intimidating the besieged party. CHEVALIER BAYARD made by his ransoms during the course of his mili- tary, career more than four thousand pounds, a sum equivalent to nearly ten times that amount nowadays. . i . “—“"- l , FOREIGN. _ - l ARLES has a Roman theater in better state of preservation than ‘the one at Orange, and intends to hold open-air performances in it in summer and to become the French Bayreuth. BRUGES in Belgium is to be made a seaport again by means of a ship canal cut through to Heyst on the North sea, for which the chamber of representa- tives has just voted the money. LIVERPOOL has just received the gift of one hundred and eight acres Of land at Wavertree. one of its suburbs, for a recreation ground for children. The giver refuses to have his name made known. ON the borders Of BuSsiau Turkestan and Siberia the Dungans have risen in revolt against the Chinese; the rebels are encouraged by the reports of the defeat of the Chinese by the Japanese, which have now reached them. PRINCESS - PAULINE METTERNICH, niece of the famous ambassador to Paris and the more famous Princess Pauline, his wife, has just made her first appearance as a violinist at a char- ity concert at M‘arie'nbad. She is only fifteen years old. R'AILROADS. THE eleven large roads west of Chi- cago now have an aggregate mileage of sixty-three thousand nine hundred and nine miles. ANDREW CARNEGIE has aroused Brit- ish wrath by saying that’it would pay England to burn up her railroad equip- ment and replace it with American models. THE express companies doing busi- ness in Minnesota evidently intend to contest the law recently passed in that state declaring such companies com- mon carriers and placing them under the supervision of the state railroad commission. SOME of the European railway com- panies have introduced the practice of recovering their soiled cotton waste by the use of sodium and silicate, being able in that way to renew the value a dozen times instead of two or three, as in the usual employment of caustic soda. WEALTH. CHICHGO‘S rich people returned to the assessors of last year $2,000 worth of diamonds and $74 worth Of Silverware. MASSACHUSETTS is one of the richest states, having a valuation of real and personal property amounting to $1, 584, - _ 756, 802. ONLY 27 per cent. of the capital of this country is owned by men holding be- tween $100, 000 worth and $1, 000. 000 worth of property. VIRGINIA is not so wealthy as before the war, at least in the estimate of the. first families, but still has a valuation of $318,331,441. ' BETWEEN 1850 and 1860 the wealth of this country increased 126.5 per cent.; in the next decade, between 1860 and 1870, it had increased 85.5 per cent. ' INDUSTRIAL PO.INTS :l’ —-:i" A COMPANY with $1000, 000 capital has been organized at Juarez“, Mexico, to work the cOal lands adjacent to that city. AROOSTOOK county, Me. ., one of the biggest potato-growing districts in the east, will put about 6,000,000 bushels of potatoes on the maiket this season. A COMPANY producing only one form of one part of a bicycle, the jointless rim, covers two acres of ground with its works at Birmingham, England. THERE is a little village named Mark- nenkirchen in Saxony where every working person—men, w omen and chil- dren—is engaged in the manufacture Of violins. THE Brewers’ Journal states that English syndicates have $91,000,000 in- vested in American breweries, the divi- dend on which, at 9 per cent., last year was $8,190,000, and was paid in gold. SOME idea of the quantity of salmon in the Columbia river, or at least of the quantity taken out, may be formed from the fact that some of -the big can- neries there are now putting up in cans an average of ten tons of the fish every day. CHESHIRE cheese threatens to become a thing of the past. For four years the price has been steadily falling and is now half what it was in 1891. Dealers tell the farmers that the change is. likely to be permanent and advise them to turn to butter-making. ENGLAND’S wheat area was dimin- ished by 510,000 acres, or over 26 per cent., last year, while at the same time the number of pigs was increased 500,- 000, or 21 per cent. ' It is evident that the country cannot produce its own breadstufis. but no reason has yet been .found for the turn toward pork. ANIMAL SUPERSTITIONS. To KILL a martin in all folklore is considered unlucky. IN all lands ravens and crows have been considered birds of evil omen. IN South Italy there is a belief that the chameleon takes no food but air. THE natives of India believe that ele- phants have a religion and form Of wore ship. A HUNDRED years ago all naturalists taught that the pelican fed its young with its ,Own blood. A GREAT many country people believe that the screeching of the owl indicates impending calamity. IN the mountains of Italy there is a superstition that young vipers eat up their own mothers. IN England it is believed that hedge- hogs foresee and by their uneasy actions foretell a coming storm. IN Dalmatia it is an exceedingly aus- picious omen for a cat to sneeze when a bride enters her new home. GERMAN children in the mountains of Silesia devoutly believe that beetles are both deaf and blind. IMPERSONAL MENTION. AMAN who has been an inmate of the Allegan county (Mich.) poorhouse for forty-seven years died there recent- ly at the‘ age of seventy-three years. AT Diss, in Norfolk, a husband and wife, who had lived to be ninety—three together, died within a few hours of each other recently and were buried together. A WOMAN with apparently lots. of time of little value, in Ransom, Mich, has just completed the sewing of an even seventeen thousand little bits of cloth into a patchwork quilt. THERE was a wedding in St. Clair county, Mich., a few days ago in which the groom was making his second ven- ture in matrimony while the bride was making her sixth.‘ n A NEW YORK musical and theatrical manager, whenever brilliant business ideas attack him upon the street, steps into an office and telegraphs the same to himself, finding the dispatch at his ofiice a little later. A memorandum, he fears, he might lose or forget. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. A LUMBER schooner owned in Bangor is manned by the three sons Of the cap- tain. THEY have found out in California that peach stones burn as well as coal and give out more heat. They sell at the rate of three dollars a ton. NEW YORK and Massachusetts have each been represented in the cabinet twenty-eight times. Pennsylvania fol- lows with twenty-five representations. THE rate of transmission on Atlantic cables is eighteen words of five letters each per minute. With the “duplex” this rate of transmission is nearly doubled. THE British Official who has charge of the money affairs says that all the gold in the world could be stored in a rOom twenty-four feet square and tWenty feet deep. ARISTOTLE believed that gray-eyed people had keener sight than those with blue, black or brown eyes. .The science of later years has demOnstrated that this idea was fallacious. SPORTS AND ATHLETICS. ON her last trip the Lucania, in order to save the tide at the Mersey bar, broke the record between Queenstown and Liverpool, making the two hundred and forty miles in ten hours. BIRMINGHAM bookmakers have lost so much money during the last two racing seasons that they have decided to discontinue place betting and to pay only for first horses.’ AUSTRIA has just put a stop to pool rooms; bookmaking is to be allowed only on the racecourses. The reason for the action is the shameless way in which agencies have been swindling the public. THE revival of the Olympic game at Athens next summer ought to be a suc- cess, judging from the elaborate prep- - arations. The ancient stadion,- of course, is being reconstructed, the am- phitheater buildings being in marble, and some four thousand guests from all parts of the world have been in« vited. I THE PRODUCTS OF GENIUS. A TORONTO man —hasiuvented an oven, iug. fresh air is constantly circulating. Meats baked in. it have a delicious flavor. - A TRICYCLE, for printing advertise, ments on sidewalks, is in use in Paris. The back wheels have broad rims, and these contain the types, which are an- tomatically inked. A NEW method of spoiling natural scenery for advertising purposes has been devised in Switzerland. Large white and yellow letters, placed on the bottom of the lake of Geneva, are made visible on the surface by refraction. AT a recent meeting Of the Balloon society in England Mr. Hiram Maxim referred to the flying machine, and‘said his experiments were at a standstill, not from any want Of faith in the proj- ect, but for want of time. AN artificial larynx has been invent- ed by Prof. Stuart, of the University of Sydney, and tried with success on a man who: had lost his voice. The mechanism can be regulated so as to make the voice SOprano, tenor, con- tralto, or bass, at will. PETER COOPER HEWITT, the wealthy son of one of New York’s most famous mayors, is a prominent club man and a society leader, but he passes most of his time in perfecting ingenious labor- saving devices. His latest invention is a machine which has greatly simpli- fied glue-making. PERSONALS FROM EUROPE. PROF. HUXLEY’S widow has recently been granted a pension of £200. PRINCE HENRY of Prussia’s year’s leave of absence is to be devoted to the study of constitutional history. DURING the year ended September 3 Kaiser Wilhelm was away from Berlin one hundred and ninety-five days. This is four days better than last year. QUEEN MARIE of Hanover, widow of George V. and mother of the duke of Cumberland, has. lost the sight of one eye and may lose the other; she is seventy«seven years Old. (Anna Gould) gave a grand country fete at the castle of Rochecotte, Indre- et- Loire, France, recently. Four thou- sand persons dined and danced in the park. MR. MARINEsco-BRAGADIR, the Ron- manian manufacturer of alcohol, paid dollars taxes to the government, and is said to be the largest individual tax- payer in the world. PRINCE HOHENLOHE, the chancellor of Germany, is the possessor Of a large estate in Russsia, which was inherited by his wife. Alexander III. ordered all foreigners holding real estate in Russia to sell it or become Russians. The present czar has made an exception in favor of Hohenlohe, although most of the property which he Owned has been sold. ——-.——— COMMERCIAL_ PICKINGS. ' THE treasury department has decided that the appraised value of goods is the value of the goods in the foreign port of exportation at the time of shipment. ABOVE Mannheim the Rhine is to be made navigable as far as Strassburg. As a canal will be inadequate, impor- tant changes must be made in the river bed. IT is estimated that thirty per cent. of the iron manufactured by Tennessee is sold outside of the southern states. It is said to be the favorite iron with pipe, plow and stovemakers in the east and north. , _ OUR consul at Frankfort, Germany, reports that the beet sugar product of all European countries this year is esti- mated at 3,015,000 tons, against 4,730,000 tons for the previous year, which was an abnormal yield.

SIDI MUSTAPHA, eldest son of the hey of Tunis, died recently of diabetes at the age of fifty- -nine. LORENGULA is reported to be alive, this time by Father Andre, a Catholic missionary at Bonoma, on the Zambesi, who says that the Matabele king is with some thousands of his people' in the Manika country near the Kafuc river. LILIUOKALANI, the deposed queen of Haw aii, had a good many curious char- acteristics, one of the most pronounced of which was a perfect passion fer the collection of rope knots made by sailors of different nationalities who visited her domain. SULTAN MOHAMMED AGHA KHAN of Poona is indignant with the earl of Dunmore for maliguing his grandfather. In a book on the Pamirs the earl says he granted free passes to Heaven by letters addressed to “My Brother Gabriel.” This, the sultan says, is not true, yet the earl persistently refuses to suppress the statement. ROD AND GUN. YORK county (Me) farmers are tell- ing of a snow-white deer that has been seen in that region several times of late. AN eighty-year-old fisherman of Amesbury, Mass, caught a lobster four feet long and weighing twenty-five pounds at Salisbury Beach a few days ago BLACK bears are reported to be much more numerous than usual in the Dis- mal Swamp region this fall. They are doing much damage among the crops and stock on farms thereabout. , ENGLISH ideas of sport. “Her maj- esty’ s buckhounds are expected to commence forest hunting early' in Oc- tober.
