their temerity.
1t is stated, in connection with Mr.. Dela-
nos modified instructions to revenue officers
in regard to the produce brokers' tax and
farmers who sell their own crops, that reso-
luton will be introduced shortly in Congress,
with view to obtain more satisfactory con-
struction of the law. Commissioner Delano

Some of the high-born English guests who
lately accepted the hospitality of the Ficeroy

One ''infdcl" of distinction inquired of his at
tcndant if the Viccroy had not directed that
all the "nccessities" Of the guests should be
supplied. Being answered in the affirmative,
the modest man said: Gambling is a necessi-
ty with me- am bankrupt, and would thank
you to furnish the necessary funds to go on
and yin again."
in his last lecture in New York, DR.. Dore-
mus converted some ''laughing (. IS" into

challenged any one to deny that the primitive
condition of the world, and Of the sister plan
cts, was gaseous. The structure OF the crust
of the globe is oxygen and metals, and when
they arc combined. heat is evolved. The blood
in our arteries is largely composed of wa er.
When the elements originally combined, the
imponderable powers were evolved. This is
the conclusion of science. All the substances
OF this world, in their combination, light and
heat. were evolved, and, thanks to the discov-
cry of the prism, we now know that metals,
such as iron and magnesium, are now burning
in the sun.
