“TH E EVE NIN ”G Sci-A z E Tris CURRENT COMMENT. .——....__._ " Japan has ordered fifty locomctl c. from one manufactory in Philadel- phia. This is preparing for businc: . ' .not war. ‘ ’The recent magazine inquiry as 1.. why men do not marry has no applica- tion to the case of Mr. Bates, of C:1i-' rago, who married five wives on r. ’ salary of $60 a month. — The ~flnanciers who were said last :year to be concerning the gold of the 'world, must seem discouraged when they lock over the list of new gold‘ 5-; :ri-kes. “The success of the beat sugar experi- ‘ments in this country will end the ex- tortion of the sugar trust as well as .‘keep at home $100,000,000 a year in cash. Both, results will be a big . .achievement. . u 'The world’s product of gold in 1873 ‘was $90,200,000 and of silver $81,000,— ‘000; itOftai $171,200,000. The world’s 'pro‘dnCt rot gold alone last year was $220,000,009, andthis year will be about $250,000,000. Next year it will‘not im- _,probably reach $300,000,000. "‘The factsthat have come out since the strike have convinced the public that the miners are not paid honest, stair prices for their labor, and, in ad— dition, were cheated out of much they sun by defective weighing and the «company stores. Such facts have brought public sympathy to the tworkers. .It..is:str.ange that while this country ‘is so 'far advanced in electric rail- ways it should be behind Europe in “.the pneumatic tube system of trans— mitting messages and small packages. Some of the large cities of Europe, :such as London, Liverpool, Birming- Iiiam, Paris and Berlin, have been pro- wfll-ed with pnuematic tubes for mess— ‘sages for forty years, and they carry an immense business. An article in a gastronomic maga- .zine is devoted to thoughts on carving. Tithe main idea is that boys of a :_’proper size should be carefully school- ed in carving. Few men are skilled .Lin :the art, though all are compelled to practice it. To the expert, carving is merely a pleasant automatic exercise. j“_What shall we say,” remarks the “Writer, “of that wonderful being who can carve and tell a good story at the same time?” Little can be expected of him except that he is extremely ;;scarce. 5 ”The trial and conviction of “Jack” O’Neil, of Shelburne Falls, Mass, for robbery and murder of Mrs. McCloud. .are exciting wide-spread immughout the whole of New England. IOiNeil was a perfect type of the vil- _ ilage hoodlum. He was never known to ‘work when he could help it, living mainly on the earnings of his mother, a hard. working washer-woman, and :spending most of his time in the vil- T'lage saloons. Every village unfortu- nately, can furnish examples of such worthless nejerrdo-wells. They form :‘the refuse slag of the population, which not only fails to respond to civ- ‘flizing influences, but which goes - largely to the making of criminals and ' paupers. ’ IRussia, according to the recent cen- s-sus returns, has a population close to none hundred and thirty millions, about equal to that of any other three Euro- ,pean States. Half a century ago its ,people numbered very nearly what -ours do now; that is they have just wiloubled in that period. Their advance in Civilization in that interval has .been rapid and it is in some particu- Llars superiorto that of some of our :Southern or Western States, no "White Caps, unpunished murderers nor lynchings being tolerated among 'athem ' It has a long journey .-.before it yet to .reach the high- er .levels of civilization and put its inhabitants. on apar with those of .Franceior. Germany;ibut it is on the :ro-ad, and making on the whole satis- 1faetory progress. After the United ‘.States it is the progressive and vital nation in the world to-day, and with the amplest possibilities of power and expansion before it. f‘General Booth Tucker’s project f0! f..he.deportation of the labor of the con- .gested.~districts to an agricultural reg- .i-on, where each of the emigrants shall Hoe transformed from a dependent upon relief to a landowner, will be worth a dozen. times the .half million that it ';"will cost, provided that it be carried 230 a successful conclusion.

In rough outline, the plan riprogcses the purchase 0158.000 acres 01 «cheap land and its subdivision into «ten-acre tracts, which in the course of aims, and bypayment of $750 by in- Lstallments of $1, will become the prOp- ierty of the settlers. .T‘he settlers, be- ;ng of the poorest class, will have to ,:be provided with food, clothing and .h‘nols for a year,tin addition to the cost of transportation.

Here’s what one of them says, only one, but remember, there are others: Mrs. A. M. Bedford,27 Stuart avenue, Norwalk, says: 4 “Several members of my family have 'used the California Ca- tarrh Cu re,which was obtained at Plais- ted’sdrug store, and we all think that it is a' fine medicine.- I find it very good to clear the head, and my daugh— ter Grace has found it is invaluable in curing headaches, from which she has suffered for a long time, never having found anything that benefited her as this has done. My husband has also used it for catarrh in the head and throat, and we are all willing to speak a good word for C. C.

Nado, director of a Parisian thea- 2291‘, had a silver watch which, though dear at 30 francs, had in the course of Lts service saved its owner a snug for- tune. He was rich, and was known to be so throughout the theatrical world and his opportunities of making small loans to impoverished actors were quite unrivaled. The artist would state his case, and the great man would listen sympathetically. “A11,” he would say, “that is sad, very sad Would I could help 'you, but I've just made some heavy payments, and hay- en’t ten francs about me. But hold, my friend, here is this watch. Take it. Truly it is not much, but it is all [ have.” Generally, of course, the of— fer was not accepted; but if by chance [t was, M. Nado continued: “And bring me the pawn ticket to-morrow. I’ll re- deem it.“ As no pawnbroker in Paris [would lend more than 5 francs on it, IM. Nado always recovered it without Iserious outlay, and it was ready for .the same service» over again.——Philo- Idelphia Record. it H.- -. «2 How Peasants Broke a Drought. In the village of Apraximo, in the IOrel district of Russia, the peasants laddressed the Volost (the ‘oldest land ,owner, who is made chief of reason of [his age), asking what should be done :to break the long spell of drought, no 'rain having fallen for many weeks. 'The Volost called a meting of all the peasants of the district and advised them in the meeting to resort to an old lcustom, dating back to the days of iCzar Ivan, the terrible. This prop- osition was carried out, and the next day all the women of the village were [compelled to take a bath in the stream running by, while the men had to sing litanies to soften the heart of the Deity. Curiously enough, rain setin on the following day, and the old cus- tom will hereafter have a large num- ber of believers—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Bright Mé'n \vith Ri'c'h Wives. Those who remember the time when ‘ Whitelaw- Reid and John Hay used to dine together night after night at a little cheap French restaurant on Fourth avenue, New York, must real- ize that a great change has taken place In the last quarter of a century—from the days of 850 table d’hote dinners to grand banquets given to royalty. This change has been due to two causes, the first—highly creditable to them—- ‘mental ability; the second, rich wives. Without the combination of these two the personal successes they have made would have been impossible. The Walling-”Prisons of Texas. Texas, according to those who have lriven through the “State, has some iueer ways. The climate is said to be :he hottest, coldest, wettest and driest in all the country. Convicts work on the roads in this State. Following the chain gang is a wagon conveying a big cage, in which aloodhdunds are kept in the daytime The dogs, of course, are used to track escaped prisoners. At night the brutes are turned out and the convicts sleep 1n the cage. The chain gang proges- sions are seen on the roads summer ind winter.—Toledo Blade. ”/W has ’ _ \ !
