A $50, 900 HALL Is to be erected at
Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn. The
hall is dedicated to the work of training
missionaries for Africa. Twelve thou
sand dollars were subscribed in England.
An Englishman says: "The attrac-
parents, as a rule, consists of graceful
movement of the body, small feet and
well shaped hands; sometimes fascin-
ating expression belonging to irregular
features and facility for conversation
which makes you forget they do not be-
long to the Phryne ideal. They dress
better than any other ladies in the
world"
PRINCE NIKITA, of Montenegro, has
declined to command the Bosnian insur-
gents out of kindly consideration for
Austria. Austrias situation with refer
ence 10 the Russo Turkish question is by
no means an exhilarating enc. Her
provinces along the Bosnian border,
Croatia and Sclavonia, are brimful of
Sclaves, ready at any favorable opportu-
nifty to rush cut and help their brethren.
Should the prince of Montenegro become
the responsible head of general revolt
Austrian subjects would soon be fight
ing against the porte, thus placing the
government in the position of an alder
and abetter of the Sclavic revolt
A FEW days since q man in Newport,
Il. l., while opening quahaugs. found in
one of them black, lustrous substance,
about the size of and resembling the
button from lady's boot. He took it
TO two or more jewellers, who pronounced |
it to be worthless but not discouraged, |
he took it to another, who wrote to |
prominent jewellers of New York, de-
scribing it, and in reply he was requested |
to forward it by mail for inspection. |
This was done, and the result is check |
for $40 has been received for it. 1t |
proved %o be "black pearl" and its
value would have been considerably |
greater but for its being scratched by
the knife in opening the quahaug shell.
The methods recommended for the |
cure of sleeplessness are numberless.
Those suffering from habitual wakeful- |
ness had better store their minds with
remedies, and try one after another,
until something efectual is discovered.
For what will help one person may be
useless to another. One curious method
suggested for inducing sleep is for the
patient to close his ewes and try to think
he is attentively watching stream of
air entering and leaving the nostrils.
When the stream seems to be visible,
sleep infallibly comes. Another plan
is simply to breathe slowly and
quietly for few moments. 1t is worth
a trial. The sleepless person should take
deep, slow inspirations, initiating the
breathing of quiet sleeper
THE total number of paving oranges is
reported at 1854, not including Ala
bama, Oregon, Arizona, Montana and
Canada. Up to the issuing of Mr.. Kel-
ley's report, in 1875, there had been is
sued in the United States q, 300 char
tiers, which, plus eight hundred and
last year, makes a total of
25, 175, leaving 1854 oranges, or about
Two in every five dead, consolidated or
delinquent. This is pretty heavy rate
Of mortality, but not excessive when we
remember how many oranges. especially
in the northwest, were organized when
there was not sufficient territory and
