him, and several of his light spars

his course rejoicing, loading and
firing his revolver. Finally he
reached quarantine, and came to
anchor just as his flying jib-b boom
went by the board. He was then
so near the other shipping that
they dared not fire on him no
longer, and the police boat, the
custom house boat and the health
boat all boarded him, together
with the captain of the port, who,
with more vigor than politeness,
wanted to know, "Why in - he

evidence of the lunacy which they

WAGES IN EURoPE.-After read,
ing such statements as the follow
ing, the wonder is, not that emf,
grafton is not more rapid, but
that SO many people in European
countries manage to scrape enough
money together with which to
seek more profitable fields of labor
"Sixty cents day is considered
good wages for working man in
any of the European countries,
except Great Britain, where the
wages are somewhat higher. In
the Tyrol silk region and in Italy,
they often do not get more than
ten cents. In the country in Ger
many ten cents is the common
pay. Women there often get but
five cents. In Sweden, men eften
work from four o'clock in the
morning till nine in the evening,
and do not get any more. During
the late war many poor women in
Berlin were hired to knit stockings
for the soldiers for five cents.
The profits of the poor who keep
petty shops, sell trinkets in the
streets or act as suffers, do not
average more than three or four
cents. BARRIERS in Berlin, since
the raising of their prices, get
five cents for hair cutting and two
and a half cents for shaving.
Servants at hotels get from three
to eight dollars q month. Ser
want girls in private families often
get but ten dollars a year. Some
times these classes cannot get
work at any price"

To CATCH RATs.-A new manner
of catching rats is exciting great
interest. A barrel is filed half
full of water. A layer of powder
ed cork is laid on its surface, and
over this q layer of corn meal is
sifted. A chair and a box or two
are placed unobtrusiyely in the
neighborhood, whereby the rat
gains the edge of the barrel. He
sees nothing but the meal. He
has no innate ideas which teach
him to beware of the treacherous
foundation upon which that tempt.
ing surface rests. He shifts, he
leaps and goes gently down to his
watery grave. If any of his
friends see him disappear from the
edge of the barrel they hasten &c
get their share of the probabie
plumber, and are In turn taken In
by hospitable death. The plan
seems effective as against the rats
but is calculated to destroy theiI
confidence in human nature.

We find in the medical Record

We find in the Medical Record"
an account of cure in a case of
hydrophobia. A little girl was
bitten by e mad dog, who tore out
Of her right cheek 3 piece the size
of silver dollar, and also bit her
right arm and leg. She was treat
ed by Immediately cauterizing the
wound with q saturated solution Of
carbolic acid, aud keeping it wet
constantly with q weaker solution
OF the same, while two drops Of
liquor ammonia fortis was given
her every two hours in water.
Three days afterward the wound
Was cauterized q second time with
nitrate OF silver and the dose OF
ammonia increased to three drops.
This treatment was continued nm
til August eth, the wound not be-
ing allowed to be dry . single mo-
ment during the whole period, and
it WAS healed without leaving G
scar. As two years hsve since
elapsed without symptoms Of the
poison, it is believed the patient il
entirely out of danger.

Brown SUGAR DIRrY.-But it
surprised us to see your cores
pondent's recommendation to use
6roacsa sugar in the preparation of
food. I queried whether she had
ever seen the process of manufac-
ture and refining of sugar. Does
she know that brown sugar means,
simply and solely, moist and dirty
sugar? Does she comprehend the
quality of sugar? Does she CON-
prehend the quality and nature
of the dirt which constitutes its
BROWNIES? Does she know that
pure loaf, crushed or graduated
sugar, is not only perfectly free
from dirt and is incapable OF
adulteration, but is much cheaper,
pound by pound, even at the slight
additional price charged for it,
than brown sugar of any grade,
because you buy no dirt or moist
ure, but pure saccharine matter?
Does she know that the notion
that brown sugars are sweeter
than white is a pure fancy, and
that the contrary is true? 1 sup
pose we are each and all destined
to eat a peck of dirt sooner or
later but there is dirt-and dirt
and save us from the dirt that
makes brown sugar brown.-Cor.

A rural Kentucky paper, of the
Bourbon persuasion, in speaking
of a successful agricultural fair
lately held by the colored people
of the county, at which nearly
two hundred thousand dollars was
distributed as premiums, naively
adds: "The whites felt too poor
to attempt a fair this year"
Whereupon the Pittsbulg Com
mercial observes that "the uncon-
scious flavor of satire which ad,
heres in this remark is absolutely
delicious. Here is a people whom
that paper and others of its class
have always despised and con,
demned as being of an inferior or

energy, enterprise and thrift, to

VANDERBILT ON WEARS THE MAT
TER.-Commodore Vanderbilt, in
conversation with a press reporter,
is reported to have said:
"Pll tell you what's the matter.
People undertake to do about four
times as much business as they
can legitimately undertake, There
are great many worthless rail
roads started in this country,
without any means to carry them
through. Respectable banking
houses in New York make them
selves agents for the sale of the
bonds of the railroads in question,
and give kind of moral guaran-
tee of their genuineness. The
bonds soon reach Europe, and the
markets of the commercial cen
tres, from the character of the in
dorsers, are soon flooded with
them. These worthless roads
prejudice the commercial credit OF
our country abroad. Building
railroads from nowhere to nowhere
at public expense is not a legiti.
mate undertaking. 1 might make
illusions to Texas, Midland and
other new railroads, but I am q
friend of the iron roads and like
to see them stretching to every
corner of the United States. They
help to develop our commerce and
civilization, and ought to he en-
couraged. All ] have to say is
when railroads are to be built
don't victimise the public to build
them. When have some money
I buy railroad stock or something
else, but don't buy On credit;
pay for what I get. People WhC
live too much On credit generally
get brought up with q round turn
in the long run. The Wall-stree
averages ruin many q man there
and is like faro. Mistrust will b
engendered till we as a nation d.
our business on q more solid basi
and pay as We go"

er is preparing 4 plan for n column
1000 feet high to be constructed en-
tirely Of Iron, in opan work, from the
summit OF which the grounds Of the
centennial exposition are to be Hum
mated by means OF n vast and magnitl-
cen Drummond light. 1t will be- the
Hottest structure In the world, though
possessing, probably, but little archi-
tectural beauty. The tallest thing of
the kind now In existence Il said to be
the iron open-work central spire Of the
cathedral in Rouen, France, which Is
spoken Of as a peculiarly unsightly ar
ticle. 1t WIS erected a few years ago
to replace the beautiful spire destroyed
many years previously by lightning
and though the builders were deter
mined to make it a few feet higher
than the celebrated Strasbourg cattle
dral, their work Is pronounced as pos
itiyely hidesus as that of their prede-
cessors was stately and superb. Pro-
baby the next highest work OF mans
hands, allowing st. Peters at Rome to
be unequalled, are two chimneys OF
chemical works In Glasgow, though
each of these fall somewhat short Of
500 feet.
