The Cheaper + is.

Sets of black marten, OF, rs known
by many, Alaska sable, says fashion
journal, range ia price from S13 to $50 /;
bands for trimming from 81 upward.
In reference to this fur we would eau
tion our readers against the purchase of
black marten, except from the most re-
liable and responsible furriers, as the
skins, unless thoroughly deodorized,
are apt to breed worms in the pelt for
their own destruction, beside being
more than ordinarily attractive to
moths.
Sets of black beaver sell at from S24
upward. This is a very beautiful,
glossy, and serviceable fur, and we pre-
dict for it an increase of favor. Bands
for trimming sell at from 81 to IS per
yard.
Sets OF lynx can be bought at from
SIS to $40. Bands for trimming sell at
from 81 to S4 per yard. Muffs of black
monkey skin, of long and coarse but
glossy and beautiful coat, sell at from
$40 to S12; boas at the same price.

begin rs low as S18 set. Ermine is
still liked by many for evening wear
and is bought largely at its now reduced
price. The purest and whitest sets O
ermine are cold for $50. Large gar
ments of this fur are chosen for even

The Potato for Food.

The potato is one of the most i'm
portant and valuable of the esculent
vegetables. When examined by the
microscope the tissue of the potato is
found to consist of mass of cells, be-
tween and within which is an albumin
Gus liquor. Each cell also contains
about ten or twelve starch grains.
Potatoes have been repeatedly sub
jected to chemical examinations, and
the result is as follows: Water, 1873 /;
carbon, 1916; hydrogen, 1,3; oxygen,
10 Z; nitrogen, 0.3; ashes, 90.
From this we perceive that the pro-
portion of nitrogen contained in the
potato is very small, but it is still
smaller in potatoes that have been kept
for some time. From these statements
it follows, that if nitrogenized princi-
pies alone contribute to the nutrition
of the body, the nutritive power of the
potato must be very low. A horse may
be kept alive by feeding it with pota-
toes, observes Liebeg, but life thus sup.
piled is gradual starvation the ami
NAL increases neither in size noi
strength, and sinks under every exer'
tion.
II we assume that all the nitrogen
lied principles of the potato are ali
mentary, it follows that good beef il
about 1914 times as nutritive as the
potato. We may, therefore, estimate
one pound of good beef as being equal
in nutritive power, to ten and hal
pounds OF potatoes.

Investment with Positive Return.

No financial securities yet offered in the
market have become 70 readily and generally
popular as the first mortgage premium bonds
of the Industrial Exhibition Company of New
York, and there exists many patent reasons
for this marked preference. In the first place
the bonds are placed at the attainable price
of $40 each, and the return of the principal is
assured beyond contingency; further, the
holder of each bond participates in every
quarterly Premium Drawing until it is re-
deemed-principal and interest. The pre-
miums range as high as 800, 600 for single
bond. The next Premium Drawing will be
held on the 7th Of December next, at Steinway
Hall, New York. The character of the gen
tlemen who have the management OF this
great enterprise in hand, is Of itself ample
assurance that the plan will be carried through
to successful consummation, and that the in
terests OF the bondholders will be most faith
fully guarded.

A Remarkable Adventure.

A son of DIR. W. Fl, Eldridge, of Bos-
ton, suddenly disappeared aud was not
heard from for five weeks. The boy
says that on the evening of October 10,
as he was leaving the apethecary store
on Bunker Hill street, where he was en-
ployed, he was approached by man,
who informed him thata fire was raging
in the vicinity of Chelsea bridge, and
asked him to go down and see it.
Arriving at the bridge no fire was to pe
seen, and when just on the point of re-
turning he was seized around the neck
by the man, who choked him until he
became unconscious, robbed him, and
then threw him over the railing into
the waters of the Mystic. The chill
which the plunge into the river gave to
his system restored him so that he was
able to attempt to save himself. The
tide was running out, and he, being q
skillful swimmer, kept from drowning
and foated down the stream until op-
posite East Boston, where friendly
spar which was floating in the water
came near to him, and gaining this he
hoated out to sea. He subsequently
became unconscious, and when he raj
lied again he was out of sight of land,
still clinging to the log. After remain
ing in the water nineteen hours he was
rescued by brig bound for Greenland,
and as he did not care to visit that
country ne was placed on board an
English steamer, the name of which he
stated was the Norman, and carried to
Liverpool. He improved the first
opportunity to return home in the
steamer Smyrna.

An Aged Couple Seek ing for a Divorce.

The following brief storyis contained
in late number of the Des Moines
(Iowa) Register. {.
"Seventy-six years ago there was
born in New York gentleman, now a
from the capital city. Forty-five years
ago he was married and lived happily
at least, so far as is known-with his
wife until about six weeks since. Then
they had their first quarrel. Children
have been born to them and grown up
under their own roof. Grandchildren
have played on their knees as old age
has come upon them. Just what the
cause of that first quarrel was we have
not learned, nor do we care to learn.
1t is enough for the purpose of the his
torian that they quarreled, and so bit
terly that they both took steps for a
legal divorce. The long years of peace
were all forgotten, and in wrath they
proposed to sever the lives that had
been one for nearly half a century.
Now, childish as this appears, it is
true, and Des Moines man, an old
friend of all parties, was sent for to
prepare formal articles for the separa-
ton. He went to the residence of the
belligerent antedilHvians about ten
days since, but instead of drafting ar
ticles for divorce, he played the role
of peacemaker so well that the war was
abandoned, and now the old folks use
one pillow again. A case almost as
strange now awaits commencement in q
lawyers Office in Des Moines. The
wife is ffty-eight and the husband
sixty-oue. They quarreled about pan
of milk. The wife started to carry it
down cellar, but before reaching the
foot of the stairs returned for some
purpose, placing the pan on one of the
steps. The husband had occasion to
descend the stairs before the pan was
removed, tipped it over, spilled the
milk, aud came back swearingly wrath
full. That milk pan outweighed the
memory of thirty three years of peace
full wedlock, and for the past six weeks,
safely locked in an attorneys safe, has
been laying the application for a di-
vorce. The lawyer doesn't wish to be
a party to the suit, nor does he want
the divorce to be granted, and is with
holding the application for the purpose
of effecting settlement OF tho Difficult
ties between the irate twain.S

The North Pole.

What a weird attraction that frozen
wilderness called the Pole, lying away
up north, far from any mans ken, ex-
ercises on the mind of humanity |!
Brave men and gallant ships sail away
up into the distant latitudes in search
of the unknown and apparently un-
movable. Some disappear and leave
no trace. Others leave only their
bones to bleach amid the frozen SHOWS
as landmarks of endeavor; but human
energy will not be checked by these
silent monitors. There is something
so very heroic in this exploration of in
hospitable seas and wildernesses of ice
that one cannot repress glow of enthu-
siasm at the announcement of new
expedition. This time it is England
sails in to confront, and, if possible,
overcome the dangers and difficulties
that lie in the path of navigators seek
ing to reach the Pole. Two steamers
will be fitted out by the British govern.
ment. They will be commanded by
Captain Markham, of the royal navy,
and leave England in May on theil
dangerous expedition.

From the Earth.

M. Gautier, in his recent work on
chemistry, estimates that there are an
nually extracted from the bowels of
the earth, and consumed, 10000, 900
tons of coal, containing, on all average,
seventy-fve per cent. of carbon-9S,
100000 tons of carbon being, therefore,
annually transformed into 356, ,OOO 900
tons of oarbonic acid and assuming,
as moderate calcula tion, that the re-
mairing cases of combustion-wood,
oils, etc.-represent the fifth of the
preceding quantity, it follows that
manufactures, navigation and domestic
economy pour into the atmosphere the
prodigious quantity OF 427, ZOO, 900 tons
of carbonic acid year. In the vol
canic regions of the globe carbonic
acid escapes from craters and assures
in actual torrents, producing mass OF
gas ten times greater than the preced.
| ing.
