Virginia's Curious Liquor-Tax Law.

The Richmond Va. liquor dealers are
threatening to test the constitutionality
of the Moffett Bell-Punch law. This law
is one of the curiosities of American leg
islation. To collect liquor tax q ma
chine resembling gas meter, combined
with a registering dial, like that used on
some of the New York street-cars, has
been invented by Senator. 1t is to be
put up in every bar-room, and for every
drink sold the barkeeper is required to
work lever which operates the hands on
the dial. When liquor is sold by measure
in quantities of less than five gallons the
lever is to be pulled once for every half
pint The machines are to be locked and
the key kept by the tax collector, who is
to make his rounds among the saloons
once month and gather in the harvest.
Heavy penalties are imposed for failing
to wo-k the register and for tampering
with it. The tax on glass of whisky is
2. cents; on glass of beer, l cent
The lawmakers expect great things from
this bill. If only 100000 gallons OF
whisky are registered by the punch the
revenue derived will be over 81 200, 900,
which, with the revenue from other sour
ces would enable the State to meet its
current expenses and pay the interest on
! its debt.-NeU York Tribune.

The Curse Of Alcohol.

Only few years ago j. X. Mortimer
was an actor in this city. He was hand
some, talented, and enjoyed popularity
equal to that now held by Montague of
Wallack's, Thorne of the Union Square.
or Coghlm of the Fifth Avenue. 1t was
then supposed that he would reach the
highest rank in his profession. He be-
came drunkard, but for while man.
ayers endured his Irregularities because
of his effectiveness with the public. He
went to California, and we soon heard of
him as performer in concert saloons.
The latest of him is the following descrip-
ton from the San Francisco Chronicle :
"a seedy, bloated man, who looked as il
he was draining the cup of bitterness to
the dregs, staggered up to the lunch
counter of saloon in Kearny street and
begged for plate of soup. IN give
it to you, said the saloon man, but you
mustn come cumming round here. The
fellow devoured the soup ravenously
and then begged for some meat. No
you've eaten your soup, now get out.
only a little Bit pleaded the man.
We'll, here, take this, and he of the
lunch eounter handed over well-polishet
ham bone. With a wolfish look at the
bottles behind the bar the man shufflet
out. "-NeaU York Sun.

Blue Glass and Fish.

Prof. H. ID. Butler, the Superintendent
of the New York Aquarium, has placed
blue-glass sides in some of the tanks con-
tanning the lower order of animals and
vegetable life. The object sought was
to ascertain whether any curative or
beneficial results would follow. The blue
glass has now been in position for several
weeks, and Mr.. Butler says that, from
what he has himself observed, it has bene-
flied the creatures very materially; that
it diffuses and softens the rays of sun
light and conveys a mild color to the
water similar to the natural light beneath
the surface of the ocean. A marked pc
culiarity was that when the anemones
began to bloom or expand their tentacles
they invariably leaned towards the side
of the tank having the blue glass, and
the hermit crabs and other shell fish were
oftener found next the colored side of the
tank, and against the glass, than any.
where else. SO soon as the new tanks
are completed, Mr.. Coup proposes to
continue this interesting experiment on q
much larger scale, and with some of the
rare tropical fishes daily expected. -Ne,t

Effects ON the United States Of War II
Europe.

The exports of Russian wheat are 35,-
600, 600 bushels year, and the exports
of Turkish wheat to Great Britain alone
were $500, 600 bushels last year. In the
event of war, this export would be large
ly arrested, and the exports of this coun-
try correspondingly increased. The
other produce and provision exports of
this country would be likewise stimula-
ted, and so would the manufacture of all
munitions of war. The people of this
country would have to- pay q higher
price for everything for which the for
eign demand increased, and what was
gained in the above exports would be
lost in cotton, petroleum and many minor
products for which, in time of war, there
would be less call. All the leading mar.
kets would become demoralized, and
speculation, which is now fairly giving
way before the spirit of economy and
hard work, would be reinstated as the
c',ief motive of business. The financial
effects would be more uniformly in oul
favor, although the demand for American
investments would be largely offset by
the sale of American securities on the
other side by those who wanted to inves
in the new loans that will be offered
The movement of goid to this country
would be probably increased by war
and this would have favorable infiuenc,
on the resumption of specie payment
by the United States.

A Modern PrOphet.

A singular book, entitled "Armaged-
don," made its appearance in the Ohio
valley and that vicinity several years be-
fore the war of the rebellion began, and
created considerable interest by the dis
thickness of its prophecies concerning
affairs in the United States and else
where. Strange to say, it's predictions
as to the extinction of slavery and its at
tendant events were wonderfully fulfilled,
and the readers of the volume have ever
since been deeply impressed by its wis
dom and prescience. Among other
things foretold by this obscure prophet
was the present impending European
war; He said it was to begin in April,
1877, and the prediction is that Russia
will succeed. An Ohio paper adds:
His idea of the return of the Jews to
Palestine is, too, quite remarkable.
Much dispute has existed in theological
circles as to whether literal return
would ever occur, or whether the scrip
tural illusions were simply metaphorical.
But it has been known that of late there
has been reviving interest among the
Jews on the subject of the return, and
large numbers have gathered near Jeru-
salem. If, now, they have arranged with
Russia for the freedom of the land, Pal.
estine will again be occupied by the
Israelitish people. If 80, it will be very
suggestive OF other prophesied events.

A Duel at Aspinwall.

During the voyage of the steamer Co
Ion from New York two of her passen-
gers had discussion Mt table which led
to high words and at last to challenge.
The surgeon of the steamer was selected
rs referee, and on arrival at Aspinwall,
on the 25th, although it was the Sab
bath day, the parties adjourned to the
suburb Boca Grande to fight it out. The
combatants were placed at twenty PAGES,
the word was given, and both fired. AS
neither was injured it was decided that
they should try it again. On the sec
ond fire one threw up his arms, put his
hands to his forehead, and in an instant,
before he reeled and fell, the crimson
gushed forth and streamed down over
his pale and excited features, and his an
tagonist rushed forward in an agony of
fear, lest he had murdered fellow-be-
ing for the paltry excuse of few hated
words The referee and others gath
cred around in breathless anxiety, and
it seemed as though the tragedy had
ended fatally for one of the actors AS
soon as possible an examination was
made, and it was discovered that the
fallen man held in the convulsive grasp
of his right hand a sponge saturated
with carmine ink ! 1t was then found
that the bullets had been extracted from
the cartridges of the pistols by those
who had them in charge, but one of the
parties was not in the secret, and tor
the moment supposed he had "killed
his man. Panama Star and Herald

The Culture OF Family Ties.

Hannah Snowden, writing in the
"Home and Society" department OF
Scribner for May about her experience
in keeping house for the summer in the
country, says:
One idea had in having country
home was to gather in all the children
of our families. Brothers and sisters
grow up together united; They hnally
marry and separate. Then their chill
dren, from being apart, know but little
of one another, and the strong family
feeling that existed among the parents
finds no place among the offspring.
Then. too, petty iealousies spring up,
which can only be avoided by mutual
intercourse. i hoped to make my home
common ground for all my nephews and
nieces. of whom there were about twen-
ty. These children, as in all large fam
lies. were differently situated in life.
/ wished to bind them together by com
mon pursuits and amusements, so that
their future lives might be influenced

Ring Sickness.

This is not dissimilar from sea sick
ness +; it requires long experience in a
ring to overcome the nausea consequent
upon going round and round in one di-
rection. One of the most difficult things
for circus rider to overcome is this
sickness. Clowns and ringmasters suffer
from it greatly, at first, from merely see
ing the horses go round and round but
even after years of experience, ring
master Whose principal business in the
ring is to keep the horses up to certain
gait, and not merely to give cues to the
CLOWN, if horse balks or gets behind
time, and he is obliged to keep close
upon him, is very likely to suffer from a
pronounced fit of sickness at the stom-
ach after he leaves the ring. Scientific

There is no article of food more whole.
some and nutritious than that supplied
by eggs. There is difference in their
flavor and quality, owing to the differ
ence in the diet of the birds +; yet there
are no eggs of winged creatures that are
unfit for nourishing the human body.
Their chemical composition is nearly the
same, for the white and yelk are almost
invariably present and these consist, in
the first case, of albumen and water.
Eggs require for digestion about as
much time as mutton-that is, from
three to four hours. They are most
readily digested when boiled until
the white becomes partially CONSOLE
dated.
An ordinary hens egg weighs from
one and half to two ounces duck 8
egg from two to three ounces the egg
of the sea-gull and the turkey from three
to four ounces and the egg of the goose
from four to six ounces. The solid mat
ter aud the oil in the ducks egg exceed
those in hens egg by about one
fourth. According to DR.. Edward
Smith, in his treatise on Foods" an

cent. of carbon, and 2 per cent. of nitro
gen. A writer of the Scientific Farmer
estimates that the value of one pound of
eggs as food for sustaining the active
forces of the body is to the value of one
pound of lean beef as ,5S4 to 900. AS a
hesh-producer, one pound of eggs is
about equal to one pound of beef. A
hen may be calculated to consume one
bushel of corn yearly, and to lay twelve
dozen or eighteen pounds of eggs. This
is equivalent to saying that three and
one-tenth pounds of corn will produce,
when fed to hen, one pound of eggs.
A pound of pork, on the contrary,
requires about five and one-third
pounds OF corn for its production.
When eggs are twenty-four cents a
dozen, and pork ten cents pound,
