Mrs. NYE. of Iowa, can get supper
split kindlinps. wash the dishes, milk
the COWS, and feed the hogs while her
five boys and two girls are playing a
game of croQuet.
BAzArSE will live in London, and has
taken the apartment, on King street, st.
James, that we're once occupied by Ma
poleon III, in the days when he was
called Prince Louis.
THE other day, when a coroner's jury
in Topeka, Kansas, found q dead man
in a ditch they weren't three minutes
coming to the conclusion that he had
been frozen to death.
Mrs. CHASE, of Ohio, was arrested the
first time she appeared with her trous-
ers on, and now she's going to mortgage
her farm and see whether this is a free
country or a monarchy.
THE winter style of hat for gentle
men is made with such a stiff crown
that If he goes home drunk and is
struck on the head with a poker, he
merely thinks he grhzed the hall lamp
when passing.
WHEN a man is made up wholly of
the dove, without the least grain of the
serpent IN his composition, he becomes
ridiculous in many circumstances of life
and very often discreeits his best ac-
tions.-Addisoa
QUEEN VICTORIA has determined to
pay the debts of the Prince of Wales.
They amornt to 100000, or So, 900, 900.
She is to pay them in three instruments
OF 92OO, 600 each. The first instalment
has already been paid.
PRoF. TYNDALL is very much dis
turbed by a remark of the Oshkosh
Evening Dumb Bell, to the effect that
the professOr'is an infidel of the most
dangerous type. He says he had ex-
pected something better than that from
the loftier intellects of America.
THE white tulle veil mania RACES
among the ladies at Long Branch, par
ticularly among those who ride up and
down in front of the hotels When the
evening trains arrive. White tulle
wells are the best things we know to
tone down powdered and inartistically
painted face.
WHEN you make a mustard plaster
use no water whatever, but mix the
mustard with the white of an egg, and
the result will be plaster that will
"draw" perfectly, but will not produce
a blister even upon the skin of an iu-
FAINT, no matter how long it is allowed
to remain upon that part.
THERE is something classic in the con.
duct of a Toronto gentleman. His two
sons were drowned in the yacht Foam,
near Niagara, and, unable to bear the
thought that the public gaze should be
allowed to rest upon an article fraught
with so much misery to him, he bought
the craft and burned IL to the water
edge.
The modest department of those
who are truly wise, when contrasted
with the amusing air of the young and
ignorant, may be compared to the differ
ent appearances of wheat, while its ear
is empty, holds up its head proudly,
bat as soon as it is filed with grain,
herds mOdestly down, and withdraws
from observation.
BIsNARoK is said to be q rollicking,
overbearing man. His wife, children,
and friends stand in awe of him. He
eats old sausages and black bread for
breakfast, swallows an enormous din
ner, washed down with large goblets of
Burgundy. He smokes, works, and
talks perpetually. He is funny when
pleased, very formidable, very rash,
and very independent.
CHIdNoN is dead. The great deity of
the feminine toilet is no more. Paris
has given it up for the sake Of economy.
1t was very costly. Every year there
was taken into Paris ITO, 900 pounds of
human hair IN raw" or unWorked
state--worth $3.50, 900, and to be made
into chignons. Now all that money can
be spent in some other nonsense.
ONE Of the most interesting features
~ hhazE - Dali
apparatus, an invention of the engineer
LighthRll, This is able to furnish 8. 900
gallons of fresh water daily, at q tenn
perature of fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
The process is simple. Steam, drawn
from the great boilers, is aerated, fill
tered, and passed into the vacuum cham
byr. By a special process the air is
withdrawn, and the heat of the con-
densed steam rushes ont to restore
equilibrium of temperature, and leaves
the vater fresh ana cool.
The project to construct a tunnel be.
tween France and England is assuming
practical phase. The capitalists and
engineers embarked in this gigantic en-.
Cerprise demand concession of thirty
years instead of the ninety-nine USUALLY
accorded to railway companies, an ash
Tor neither guarantee nor grant. Furth
er, they are ready to advance a sum OF
four millions for preliminary investiga
lions. The project in question consists
in the immerging of duct on the Eng
lish and French coasts, and the boring
of two long galleries from each side.
KRUPP's steel gun, intended for the
Austrian government, has been tested
by government commission, who, after
three days experiments, were highly
satisfied with it. They propose e
hrupp's agent that half the guns re
CURED be cast at Essens, but that Herr
hrupp should divulge the process o.
manufacture so that the other half could
be cast in Austria. The agent. how
ever, said that the secret could not b,
revealed under any circumstances. III
competent military circles it is believed
that the guns cannot be made without
krupp's assistance.
BRAQUEr, the aeronaut of Bordeaur
was about to make his three hundred
and thirty first ascension on Monday
August 10, at Royan (Charente- Inferi.
eure), when, by some accident. the or.
der to "let go" was given too soon.
The balloon, in rising, came in contact
with ladder, and the jerk dislodged
Braquet, who was seated on his trapeze.
He, however, caught the salvage rope.
and by almost superhuman efforts had
nearly gained the car, when the cord
broke and he fell from height of three
hundred yards. The body was horribly
shattered when it was picked up, and
life was, OF course, extinct.
THE aliases will have TO be revised
again. Mont Blanc is no longer the
monarch of the European mountains.
He must bow his "bald and awful
head before Mount Elburz on the
northern or European side of the Can
oasian watershed. The height of Mont
Blanc is vRriously estimated at from
IS, 732 70 10, 7S4 feet, but his rival
Mount Elburz, which has just been as.
cended by some members of the En-
glish Alpine club, is found to be IS
526 feet high. To shape, the mountain
is described as G hattened dome like an
inverted teacup, and although it has all
the Alpine characteristics of snow fields,
ice-lakes, and glaciers, it can be climbed
without much difficulty BY experienced
mountaineers
