Tbua they succeeded theater. in founding Franco-Russia- n Franco-Russia- n newspaper, all of thetu of which the equivocal euterpriae simpletons become the inevitable vic tims. Tbe public of republican Pari applauds pieces in honor of tbe Czar, manifest enthusiasm on behalf of Holy Russia, and gives way to a sort of pious imbecility as regards everything that U closely or remotely connected with the alliarve. Thus the Prench nation, in its own estimation the wittiest in the world, hut condescended to delight in idiotic tirades or babyish anecdotes like the following. During tbe exhibition of 1689, when it became alnios: impossible to get a cab, a gentleman stopped the jehn of one of these vehicles, suying: "Coachman, wiA yon drive mo to the exhibition?' "No; my ho se is tired." "Coachman, I will give you ten francs." "No." "Twenty fra ics." "No." "A hundred .ranca." "No." "Coachman, I am a Russian." "Ah! in this rase all right Jump in, sir.

Each of the segments is ten cleft, so that when the leaf is folded, as in the bud, there are eighty layers. The liber of these leaves is finely plaited, and each hat consists of a single piece of work. The plaiting of the hats is a slow and tiresome process. Coarse hats may lie finished in two or three days, but the fine one takes as many The work is begun at the months. crown and finished at the brim. The hat is made on a block, which is placed on the knees, and has to be constantly pressed with the breast. , About 200,000 dozens of these hats are made every year.

Dr. Haughton, calculating from the observed thickness of the rocks down to the miocene tertiary, and assuming a period of 8,616 years for each foot deposited on the ocean bed, finds, for tho age of the stratified rocks, a period of 1,536,750,000 years. Assuming the rate of denudation, however, as ten times greater in ancient times than at present, d and adding for the period since the miocene tertiary, he arrives at a final Dr. Croll result of 200,000,000 years. doubts the validity of Professor Hangh-ton'- 8 assumptions, especially the total thickness he assumes, namely, 177,200 miles.

An enthusiast on the subject states that each head of clover is composed of about sixty distinct fljwer tubes, and each of these contain sugar not to exceed the part of a grain. The proboscis of the honey bee must, therefore, be inserted into 600 clover tubes before one grain of sugar can be obtained. There are 7,000 grains in a pound, and as honey contains three-fourtof its weight of dry sugar each pound of clover honey would represent the insertion of its proboscis into 2,500,-00- 0 clover heads. New York Telegram. aVooriahins down town bank Till bit u president had been the int of the yoang man 'a father, and, withoo thinking of the consequence, be offered to do anything in his power to advancer ' the interest of the eon of hia old friend. The young man had "a bntiisnaa acherae" in hia head and he wanted credit at the bank until hia expected remittaneea arrived. The bank president told him that he might draw np to $1,000. The checks came in promptly for large and small amount until the young man's overdrawn account amounted to The hard beaded cashier then I1.15U. went to the president and suggested that the bank ought to hare some collateral He frankly admitted that he had no confidence in either tbe young man's scheme or hia intentions. The president saw the force of hia cashier's suggestion, but, still chary of offending his old friend's son, he wrote a personal letter to tbe young man, saying: Mr Dear Vorno Frissd U haa been a pleasure for me to aeoomuiodat you with small hue of credit at tha bank. Sufficient lime, however, haa elapsed. I think, to enable you to realise on your own resource, and I trust that you are now able to make a settlement. In fact, 1 am constrained to aay that you most either make your account good or cease drawing checks on tha bank. The young man was not thin skinned, and this letter did not offend him He smiled as he read the closing sentence, and stepping into the office of a friendly broker, be penned the following note: ept my cordial thanks Respected for your kindness. Of tha two alternatives that you suggest I am obliged to accept the Utter. I shall ceaas drawing checks on your bank. With kindest regards, ate. Sik-Acc- The kind hearted bank president was somewhat nonplussed by this reply, bed he showed the note to hia cashier. That practical functionary looked over his gold rimmed glasses at hia superior and said: "Umph! well, that ia pretty slick. But you have got rid of him cheaper than I thought you would." New York Timea Why Eels Are Objectionable. Inasmuch aa eels must go to sea in order to propagate their species, they are found not to multiply at all when placed in ponds that are landlocked, although in such places they will grow rapidly and be healthy. It costs so little to purchase young ones by the quantity that this is no obstacle to the usefulness of stocking inland waters with these fish. They have many very important advantages from the economic point of view, inasmuch as they will feed on anything dead or alive, will thrive in water clear or muddy and at any temperature, and require no looking out for. However, in rivers like the Susquehanna, where gill nets are used, eels are very undesirable. It is not unusual upon hauling the nets in that stream and in others farther south to find that the catch has been entirely eaten up by myriads of the squirming robbers.which have left little besides heads and backbones. It has been found advantageous by the fish commission to plant eels in the upper great lakes and in the Missis sippi They have also been introduced very successfully in California. New York Sun. Carved Trunks Get Straight. Possibly the greatest manifestation of growth power that could be referred to is in the power of many trees to curve their trnnks when partly blown over, though they may have had them straight for a quarter of a century. This curious subject is yet in its infancy as a branch of study, but so far the curving has been noticed more in connection with palms and coniferous trees. A trunk may be, say twenty or thirty feet high and a foot thick, and as straight as a gun barrel. Should it, from any cause, become tilted in a few years the whole trunk from the ground to the summit will be found curved like a bow. It was at one time thought that plants grew toward the light, and we come to believe that "as the twig is bent the tree is inclined," but it now seems that "grew" is not here an active verb the mass off oliage that which was grown as well as that which is growing is really lifted lifted by some power in nature so far entirely unknown to vegetable biology. Thomas Meehan in Philadelphia Ledger. We are fully equipped with the latest pattern machinery and new material to do you justice on prices as well Destructive Scarecrow. Since the corn canning shops commenced operations in Maine the fanners have found a brand new defense against crows. They corral whole basketfuls of ' the disdarded tin scraps and next day hundreds of poles toss and flaunt a dazzling array of adornments in the eye of the sun. This will scare crows, horses and cows, and when travelers find themselves in the gutter with the carriage cn top, they at once understand that a tin field is in view. Lewiston Journal.

New and Harmless Antiseptic. A new antiseptic agent called micrc-cidin-e, which is composed of 75 per cent, of naphthol of sodum and 85 per cent, of naphthol and phenyl compounds, has been tried in France. It is a white powder, soluble in three parts of water. The solution, which is cheap, is said to be a very effective antiseptic, without being poisonous or caustic or injurious to instruments or linen. Its antiseptic properties are inferior to those of corro-6i7- e sublimate or naphthol, but surpass those of carbolic and boracic acids ten aud twenty times respectively. The solution has given excellent results in dressing wound a New York Telegram. A Mew Hay Rake. A westerner has invented a hay rake which he thinks will avoid some of the defects of those now in use. It is a combination of the sulky and revolving rakes. There are the wooden teeth of the revolving rake hanging under and revolving round the axle. The proper motion is given by means of a hinged back. The idea is a sulky rake which will not gather dirt and rubbish, and will drop the hay in the windrow without dragging it several feet or yards beyond. New York Journal |
