The Bank of England clips every light
sovereign that comes into the bank.
Three thousand are weighed in an hour
with one machine. Last year the bank
weighed coin to the amount of $l15, $780,
600, and rejected $4,20O,OOO, or about
thirty-six per cent, as being light gold.
For this amount the bank paid the full
value, making deduction for the def
cheney of weight, which is generally about
six or eight cents per light sovereign.
Mr.. Hodgson, M. p, bank director,
says that in box of five thousand
sovereigns the number which will be
found to have turned the point of light
weight will generally be about eight, if
they have not been disturbed, and he
adds: "You are aware that the SOW
ereign which is in your pocket at eight
o'clock in the morning is not the same
sovereign at twelve o'clock at night"
After this rather alarming announce
ment it is satisfactory to find Mr.. Hodg-
son stating also that the charge for light
weight on the eight deficient sovereigns
would be about four cents per coin, max
ing only thirty-two cents on the box of
twenty-five thousand dollars SO that ait
really amounts to nothing"

THE DOUBLE HARVEST

The farmer sat at his kitchen door,
Smoking his MONDAY pipe,
And over the fields his eyes were cast,
Where grain so golden,
Nodded away
Through the summer day,
With shadow and sunshine hard at play.
Down by the gate the farmer saw
(And he chuckled low In glee)
Two, two whispering together there.
$50 !" said the farmer, 4 see
II guess Alright,
And their skies are bright,
Therell be harvesting soon with main and
might"
The weeks went by, and the old barn groaned
With the might OF harvest store
But the farmer laughed, for well he knew
There remained one harvest more,
Since Cupid had sown,
With grain Of his own,
A crop that love must harvest alone.
The farmer sat at his kitchen door
When the evening meal was done,
And he laid kiss on his daughters brow,
And welcomed his newborn son
And the harvest-tme,
With wedding-bells chime,
Sank its days into merry rhyme.

THERE is gigantic ice-house in Brus-
sells, Belgium, whose roof covers an area
of one thousand six hundred square
metres. The walls are double and filled
with moss and sawdust. There are nine
separate ice-chambers, each of one thou
sand cubic metres capacity. The tenn
perature never exceeds thirty-six and
one-half degrees Fahrenheit. There are
galleries set apart for the storing ofmeat
in hot weather, capable of hanging two
thousand quarters, and having them per-
fectly isolated. A million of tons of ice
have been stored in the building at one
time.

THE great telescope recently erected
in the Paris Observatory is to be COM
pletely overshadowed in size and power
by the instrument now in course of con-
struction for the new Observatory in
Vienna. This is the largest yet at
tempted, and is being made in Dublin.
The length will be thirty-two feet; the
object glass will have an aperture of over
twenty-six inches, and the great base
casting, weighing eight tons, will form
chamber twelve feet long, eight feet high,
and four and half wide. The tube will
be entirely of steel, and all the axles will
have their friction relieved by anti
friction apparatus. 1t is expected that
the instrument will be completed by the
autumn of 1878. 1t took six years to
build the Paris reflector, which cost
about $4,000.

THE destruction of Virginia City by
fire has brought out discussion on the
great value of trees, planted along the
public streets, as sure protection from
disastrous confagrations. 1t is argued
that they serve to prevent the passage of
burning debris through the air, the en-
bers being caught in the upper branches
and falling harmlessly to the ground. 1t
is asserted that destructive fires have
frequently been averted in Sacramento
by the belts of trees that extend along
the public thoroughfarcs of that city.

Nothing Wasted.

Few things so well symbolic the eco
nomical habits of contine ntll Europe,
and especially France, as the pot az feU.
This is an iron pot kept constantly sim.
mering upon the fire, into which is put
from Gay to day all the wholesome rem
nants of food which in this country are
thrown away. Ourpeople, i'll their mag
niticent way of doing things, never stop
to consider how much nutriment adheres
even to well-picked bones of porter-house
steaks, mutton chops, ribs of beef, legs
of mutton, etc. All these, and many
things beside, are put into the pot az
teu water, seasoning and fragrant herbs
are added as required, and the constant
simmering-a solvent for even the tough
est of Texan beef-extracts every parti-
Gle of marrow even, and the bones come
out as clean and white as if they had
been bleached for years N the sun.
Among the common people more than
half the nutriment of the day comes from
pot al .feu, and if any member of the
family comes home at an unusual hour
hungry, it affords at al times q meal ut
once warm and wholesome. This ex-
plains how, as Hugh McCulluch tells us,
the forty millions of France could live
on what the forty millions of America
throw away, and when we consider the
wretched cookery that prevails in this
country, it is not too much TO affirm that
they could live twice as we'll as do our
farmers and day laborerS.

BucIu Helmbold in an Insane Asylum.

4 Philadelphia dispatch says "Mr.
Henry L. Helmbold, the former proprie-
tor of many patent medicines, and who
kept large house on Broadway, has
been sent to an insane asylum in this
city. He recently returned from Eu-
rope, and has been temporarily stopping
here. In conversation with reporter
he told wonderful tales of what he pro-
posed to do i'll the future, and, for a man
whose business has been wrecked, spoke
profoundly confident. On Wednesday
last two physicians examined him and
pronounced him insane. They then
made affidavit before an Alderman, re.
citing the result of the examination, and
yesterday Mr.. Helmbold was removed to
DIR. kirkbride's asYlum.

Mirth Changed TO Mourning.

A dispatch from Minneapolis, Mimi,
says Barnum's hippodrome exhib-
tied here to immense crowds to-day.
Over 10000 people were present. At
about the middle of the afternoon enter
tainment, Manager Whitaker read a
dispatch announcing the discovery of
Grimwood's body on the Michigan
beach. The vast multitude was hushed
as if by death during the reading, and at
its close the excitement knew no bounds.
Among the actors and attaches, more
especially, the sad intelligence of the
certain loss of the young journalist and
their comrade, Donaldson, the grief was
most poignant. 1t was some time before
the performance could be continued, and
strange as it may be, the very next act
was one in which Miss Taylor, the
young lady to whom the ill-fated
aeronaut was engaged, was one of the
principal riders, and was obliged to APP
pear. In fact, her relation to Donald
son was not known by many in the audi
ence, but her tear-stained cheek was
plainly visible to all. The utmost sad

Few people are aware of the CONNER
cial Importance Of perfumes, and OF the
extent to which their manufacture is now
carried on. The fower-harvest of the
district of the Var, in the southeast of
France, includes no less than 1,475,0 900
pounds of orange blossoms, $50, 200
pounds of roses, 100, 900 pounds of jas
mine, $4,000 pounds of violets, $4,000
pounds of acacia, 30, 900 pounds of ger
aniums, "a, 900 pounds of tuberose, and
5000 pounds of jonquil. A well-known
perfume manufacturer at Cannes uses
annually 10000 pounds of rose leaves
alone, and other perfume-laden flowers
in proportion.

The steamship Dakota.

The new Williams & Guion steamship
Dakota, sister ship to the Montana, of
which extended mention has been made
in these columns, arrived at this port on
Saturday, on her first voyage from Liver
pool. She is of the same peculiar, and
withal handsome model as the Montana,
325 feet long, 45 feet beam, and 30 feet
depth of hold. The Dakota can steam
sixteen knots an hour, and has accom-
modation for so cabin and ], 800 steer
age passengers. She is commanded by
Capt. Forsyth, and sails hence on the
10Th inst. U
The Dakota made her initial trip
across the Atlantic in less than nine
days, and did not steam at full speed.
Three days out she passed an immense
iceberg.-N. Y. EUening Mail.

OK the British railways last year there
were 211 passengers killed and 1881 in
juued. The passenger journeys during
the year numbered 4S0,000,0 900, giving
an average of 100000 day, so that,
when we remember that II of the deaths
were caused 10y the carelessness of the
individuals, the relative mortality is not
great. 1t is curious that precisely the
same number of persons-211-were
killed in the streets of London during
the same interval.

THE Paris Foundli ng Hospital has set
up novel claim lately. One of it's pro-
teges, whose mother was dead, and
whose father had abandoned it, inherited
a fortune from relative of the mother.
At once the father claimed the custody
of the child, the mothers relatives
claimed it, and the hospital claimed the
right to hold the child and administer
the fortune, but the law gave the child
to guardian chosen by the relatives of
the mother.

and of imposing and beautiful

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and intelli-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
is To be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wyoming is excellent and
ahundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Severa. of the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making Of
needed, permanent Improvements;
which debts are represented 10y
county bonds redepmable in from ten
tn twenty years md are consequently
not hurdensOme.
With the opening mp to settlement
of Northern Wyoming the tide of i'm.
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, as ii formerly has into Califor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given to our mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing. will give occupation to a
large population and add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climates
healthfulne~s, fertility variety. and
abundance Of natural riches, and the
lncaiion on the line of the great
