prayers were then offered. 1t seems fitting
that on the occurrence of the hundredth
anniversary Of our existence as nation, a
grateful acknowledgement should be
made to Almighty God for the pro.
lection and bounties which he has
vouchsafed TO our beloved country.
/, therefore, invite the good people of the
United States on the approaching 4th day
of July, in addition to the usual observances
with which they are accustomed to greet
the return of the day, to further in such
manner and at such time as in their re.
spective localities and religious associa-
tions may be most convenient, to mark its
recurrence by some public religious and
devout thanksgiving to Almighty God for
the blessings which have been bestowed
upon us as Nation during the century
OF our existence, and humbly invoke con-
tinuancc of his favor and of his protection.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal OF the United
States to be affixed.

JOsephine's Granddaughter.

The granddaughter of Josephine lies
dead in Sweden. The lady whom we
knew as the Queen Dowager of Sweden,
and whose death was noticed the other
day, was the daughter of Eugene, the
son of Josephine, and adopted son of the
great Napoleon. She was born in the
splendor of imperial days, and became
the bride of Bernadotte's son. Two of
her sons became Kings. One of them is
now on the throne. 1t is strange, as
showing how time avenges everything,
that while the blood of Napoleon is on
no throne in Europe, the blood of Jo-
sephine, who was divorced because she
could not bear Napoleon children, has
become royal strain, and will probably
continue. 1t was the dream of the great
conqueror's life to found royal line.
His descendants are outside of the royal
circle, while the descendants of his dis
carded wife reign still and bid fair to
reign for generations.

Weight OF English Rolling Stock.

The Edinburgh Review, in an elaborate
article on Railway Profits and Losses"
gives some curious figures illustrating
the increasing weight of the working
plan of English railways. In cases of
collision it was found that old carriages
suffered most. AS trains became longer,
therefore, and speed more rapid, it was
necessary to make carriages larger and
heavier, and experience has proved that
increase of weight means decrease of
tare. Of the carriages now used on the
Metropolitan line, the first, second and
third-class carriages weigh respectively
l5, 14.76 and 14.26 tons, and seat 48, GA
and 80 passengers. The weight of the
locomotive engine has also steadily ad-
vanced. In the Liverpool and Manches-
ter competition of 1929, the Rocket
which won the prize, weighed 4 tons 5
cwt., and its tender 3 tons cwt. Five
years later the Atlas, six-wheel engine
on the same railway, weighed la tons
in working order, At first rails weigh
ing thirty.fve pounds to the yard were
deemed adequate; but rs these could not
bear nine ton engine they were re-
placed by new rails weighing sixty-six
pounds per yard. In 1880 seven-ton en-
gines were deemed heavy, in 1910 fifteen
ton engines, in 1850 twenty-five. ton en-
gines, and 1860 thirty-fve- ton engines.
Now there are good engines OH the Con-
tinent that weigh, exclusive of tenders,
forty-fve tons. Mr.. Meyers twelve
wheeled engine, exhibited at Vienna in
1862, weighed sixty tons. There was a
weight OF ten tons to each pair of
wheels, and the tractive force was esti-
mated at $4,000 pounds, equal to the
draught of 1890 tons exclusive ofengine,
on level, $40 ton on an incline of to 40:
or 155 tons on one of | to IL. At the
speed of 8S6 feet per minute the effect of
this engine corresponds to 5S7 horse
power.

CamerOn's Travel.
[London Standard.I

London Standard.I
At meeting of the members of the
Anthropological Institute of Great
Britain and Ireland, Colonel Lane Fox,
President, in the chair, held in the Thea
ter of the Society of Mines, Jermyn
street, st. James, Lieutenant Cameron,
@. b., Royal Navy, read paper on the
subject of the Anthropology of Central
Africa.
The distinguished traveller said that,
owing to ages of Mohammedan immi-
grafton, the pure type of the negro did
not at present exist on the east coast of
Africa, from which they had been driven
inland. In Madagascar there were many
tribes, some who wore their hair
down their backs to their waist, some
who had strong bark woven through
their wool, and others again who sported
wigs. He then proceeded to give rapid
description of the characteristics and
manners of the various tribes along his
route, by many of which he was warmly
welcomed, and by others very coldly in
deed. In describing the dress of the
ladies in various of these nations the
lecturer caused considerable amusement
among his audience. There were ladies,
he said, in the interior somewhat scantily,
albeit picturesquely clothed, who wore
their hair divided by four partings, each
woven into plait and all wound round
the head, the ends being adorned with
beads and polished steel extinguishers, 30
as to form coronet; others who wore
tattooing knives in their hair, and
adorned or disfgured their faces with
paint, and again those among the lower
classes who perforated the upper lip
and inserted stone, which made the lip
protrude like ducks bill. Besides
these, there were ladies who sported
leather head dresses-the most hideous
ever invented, the likenesses to which,
when he left England, were, he believed,
called chignons. Laughter. In describ-
ing the industries and manufactures of
the great Continent, he stated that the
natives in some places ground their corn
with the trunks of trees; and the pottery
ware manufactured strongly reminded
him of specimens dug up in the ruins OF
Pompeii and Herculaneum. In his travels
he came to country where the iron
trade was in fourishing condition,
there being many foundries about fifty
feet long by thirty feet wide, where they
frequently got one hundred and fifty
pounds to two hundred pounds of metal
in single smelling. Here he had seen
pieces Of iron worked simply by the
hammer and nodded into various shapes,
including the human form, as completely
finished as if manipulated by the most
skillful English artisan. Among the
fetish men whom he met the priests were
for the most part clever ventriloquists.
an art which they put to very profitable
purpose, as was shown by the answers OF
their idols, which were favorable ol
otherwise according to the value of the
offerings.
At the conclusion of the lecture there
was brief conversation, in which the
Duke of Argyll, Mr.. Charles Hamilton
Sir John Lubbock, M. p, Mr.. Consul
Hartley and others took part, and the
proceedings terminated with a cordial
vote of thanks to Lieutenant Cameron.

GENERAL NOTES.

A SPECIAL train on the Anderson
branch of the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad, South Carolina, was wrecked
on broken trestle, and the engineer,
conductor, fireman and two train hands,
the only persons on the train, were
killed.
AN English writer says that in the
case of fire in buildings containing
horses, if the harness be merely put on,
however loosely, the horses will quit the
place without difficulty. A knowledge
of this may be the means of saving many
valuable animal.
In five States the law of hanging has
been abolished. These are, with the
dates of their abolition, as follows !:
Michigan, 1876; Rhode Island, 1852 ;
Wisconsin, 1858; Iowa, 1872; Maine,
1876.
A FARMER at Whitehall, Michigan,
named Jenson, committed suicide by
burning himself in log heap. 1t seems
he had frequently threatened to commit
suicide. On being missed from his home,
search was made, when the charred re-
mains of q human being were discovered
in a log heap. About forty feet from the
log heap they found jug and bottle,
also pair of socks. Appearances indi'
cate that he threw powder over the log
heap, poured the kerosene oil over his
body, chained himself to log and fired
the whole.
THE London Times Berlin special re-
ports that Austria has ordered the con-
centration of 158, 900 regular troops and
10000 of the landwehr in the eastern
and southeastern provinces for the au
tumn drill. The correspondent Of the
Moscow Gazette telegraphs to that paper
from Cettinje that the Turks in Bosnia
have uafurled the green flag for a holy
war against the Christians. 1t is stated
that Servia will send an envoy to Con
stantinople to propose disarmament and
peace, in return for the concession o1
territory. A Vienna special to the Daily
News asserts that Nicsics has been pro
visioned, and that the Turkish army hal
received six months arrears of pay.

Masculine and Feminine.

A proof of how much more appear
ances weigh in this foolish world than
facts may be found in the relative tradi-
tional estimate of the owl and the goose.
The former bird, merely from looking
grave and solemn, and keeping himself a
little retired from public view, has been
credited with unlimited sagacity, and
made the chosen companion of the very
Goddess of Wisdom. As no ministry
fifty years ago would have dared to give
a bishopric to Sidney Smith, simply be-
cause he was too witty, so no old Athe-
nian imagined that Pallas would have
preferred in her temple the society of a
lively and satirical bird, like the goose,
to the dull and gloomy-minded owl.
But the goose is really clever creature,
and proves it in hundred ways; while
the owl, like Lord Burleigh, merely mods
his head in solemn sort, and is accepted
as wise on his own showing. The great
difference between masculine and fem
inine folly has been said to be that stu
pid man generally retains enough sense
to conceal his stupidity under the cloak
of silence, while stupid woman chat
ters the more the more ignorant she may

the world. The man sometimes inspires
his neighbor, and always his wife, with
the conviction that there is matchless
wisdom hidden behind his reserve, which
he buttons close round him as the shabby
genteel do great coat to hide the alb
sence of shirt. The woman invariably
reveals her folly to everybody, and gets
no credit for the under. current of prac-
tical sense which sometimes runs be-
meath. The owl is in this respect de-
cidedly of the masculine order of mind,
while the goose goes about cackling and
screeching with her neck outstretched,
so that she looks supremely ridiculous
and idiotic, while all the time she is not
only sensible enough, but has the rare
merit of a strong dash of humor in her
composition. Since she saved the
Roman capital she has been known to
display all the domestic virtues, and as
many public ones as she has been per-
mitted to exercise. But no; experience
avails nothing against prejudice. She
has contrived to get herself classed
among the shrieking sisterhood," and
her claims are thrust aside with derisiOn.

DIR. ScnESCh sPrLMoNIC SYRUP SEA WEED Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines have un-
doubtedly performed more cures Of Consumption
than any other remedy known to the American pub
lie. They compounded of vegetable ingredients,
and contain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies advertised as
cures for Consumption, probably con tain opium,
which is IA somewhat dangerous drug in all cases,
and If taken freely 10y ptive patients IL must
do great injury; for its tendency Is to conine the
morbid matter in the SYSTEM which, Of course, must
make cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
Is warranted not to contain particle Of opium: 1t
is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs liver, stomach, and blood and
thus correct all morbid secretons and expel all the
diseased matter from the body. These the only
means by which Consumption can be cured and as

The Action Of Frost on Vegetable
Tissue.

The way in which frost acts in destroy
ing vegetable tissue, and consequently
vegetable life, is yet open to discussion.
When the liquid in the structure freezes,
it will of course follow the law common
in such cases and expand, disrupting the
tissues to the destruction of life. The
enigma with most persons is how vegeta-
bic matter can get through our winters
after the sap has been thoroughly frozen,
in the face of this law. But it is prob.
able that the sap does not freeze in
these cases. A Mr.. Piflard publishes
some experiments, in an English paper,
made with the juice of cabbage leaf:
Some juice was mixed with water and
put in bottle, and in another bottle
pure water. Both were exposed to be
given in low temperature. The cabbage
water resisted congelatioD while the
mere water froze. II thus appears that
plants resist frost through their juices,
and that the power of resistance Is a
chemical act not vital one merely un-
less, indeed, life itself be but mode of
chemical action.
