Who They Are.

The Miridites, whom the Turks are
now fighting, are tribe of Albanian
Christians, of Greek extraction, and liv-
ing near Greece. They have always
been turbulent and troublesome to the
Turks, though at times would make
common cause with their rulers, and
then would furnish among the best and
bravest soldiers to be found in the Otto
man army During the Greek revolu-
ton of 1929 they we're disposed to side
with their congeners in race and religion,
but ill-feeling born of chronic quarrels
between the Greekish tribes led to their
offers of assistance being repealed. At

A Mans Fight With a Panther.

Savage animals are not yet extinct in
Vermont, as Thomas Peggington, OF
East Richford, found to his cost a few
mornings ago. He was on his way to
his sugar orchard, in company with his
dog, when he suddenly came face to face
with huge panther. The dog was torn
to pieces in twinkling, and the beast
then turned his attention to Mr.. Peg
gington, who, though unarmed, kept his
presence of mind, and avoided the Great
ure's first spring by falling on his face.
The second time he was caught by the
shoulder, and d desperate struggle fol-
lowed, both rolling over and over on the
ground, and finally falling over preci-
pice twenty feet high, which ended the
combat. Mr.. Peggington lay uncon-
scious for several hours until found by
his friends, and he is so severely injured
that his recovery is doubtful. The
panther has not been seen since the
fray, but it is thought he was badly hurt
by the fall, and a party OF hunters are
looking for him.-SprjnQfe5d Repu6-

Human Hair.

The trade in human hair continues to
increase at Marseilles, and it has now
became staple article Of commerce in
that city. Six or seven years ago the
annual quantity imported did not exceed
sixteen tons, but it had increased in 1873
to fifty and in 1875 to eighty tons. It
was thought that this total would never
be exceeded, but the returns for 1876
have already falsified the prediction, as
during the past year ninety-two tons
were registered as having arrived at
Marseilles. Formerly all the hair i'm
ported into Marseilles came from Italy,
but that country has been unable to meet
the increasing demand, and brisk
trade has been opened with the extreme
East. Thus Of the ninety-two tons i'm
ported last year forty-three came from
Italy, while China supplied thirty-six
Turkey five, and Japan three tons, the re-
mainder being made up of importations
from Egypt, India, Germany, Belgium,
Spain and Algeria The total quantity
of hair imported into France last year is
estimated at 1872 tons, value, 100000.

Superstition,

A panacea, or g cure-all, is one of the myths
of the age of superstition. DR.. r. V. Pierce
does not recommend any one or even his whole
list of standard remedies as adequate to cure
every disease. For severe lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and chronic lung diseases, he
believes his Golden Medical Discoyeryis unsur-
passed. but it will not cure you if your lungs are
half wasted by consumption. The Discovery
not only exercises potent influence over pull
monary affections by reason of its pectoral
properties but possesses also the most valuable
Alternative, or blood-cleansing properties, and is
therefore a sovereign remedy in blood and skin
affections. But while it will cure serofulous
and other ulcers or sores. blotches, pimples and
eruptions, it will not crre cancer, nor does its
manufacturer claim any such merit for it as is
done by proprietors of other blood-cleansing
medicines, who dishonesty try to deceive the al
fiicted into the belief thatther preparations will
accomplish impossibilities. Byreason of its real
intrinsic merit it has a sale SURPRISING that of
any other blood and cough medicine.

The seWing-Maclline Monopoly Burst.

The patent on the Batehelder needle
plate for sewing machines has expired,
and is now common property. This is
the last of the patents held by three OF
the largest and best-known sewing-ma-
chine companies combined. These COM
panies have, by royalties exacted from
other companies, controlled the business.
The only patent now remaining in force
relates simply to the minor details of
construction.
The expiration of these patents will
undoubtedly work very important
changes in the sewing machine trade,
and.reduce the enormous prices which
have hitherto prevailed.
For many years outside companies
have paid royalties of from S. to So on
each machine manufactured by them.
One company is said to have paid as
high as $4,000 per annum in royalties
for term of ten years, and at this out
lay their profits were still enormous. It
is fact of special interest to poor seam
stresses that the margin of profit in the
sewing machine business has been so
enormous as to allow manufacturers.
agents and canyassers a joint profit of
400 to 500 per cent The officers of
leading companies have admitted that
the first cost Of the $50 and $40 machines
is only $11 to $15 apiece. The canvasser
rarely makes less than 500 on every ma
chine sold. The amount of money re-
ceived by the middle-men is, therefore,
enormous, as the annual sales reach hun
dreds of thousands in this country and
in Europe. The manufacturers say that
their share is only about 80 per cent,
and that large portion of this is con-
sumed i'll the maintenance of their large
establishments, in taxes, and in the un-
ending litigation which the protection of
their patents necessitates. Some idea of
the immense proportions of the sewing
machine business may be gathered from
the fact that one company last year sold
over $50, 200 machines, and has about
$12, 100000 invested in it's business.
Another company has about $8,000,000
invested, and some others do not fall far
behind these large figures. A great re-
duction in the price of machines is to
Immediately ensue. It is expected now
that the prices of machines will be COM
paratively so reasonable that the compa-
MES will not think it worth while to sell
on installments, nor will the poorer pub
lie find it beyond their reach topurchase
them outright.

Salt of the Sea.

Scientific men in all ages have been
puzzled to assign plausible reasons for
the saltishness of sea water. Two-thirds
of the globe may be said to be covered by
the sea; and, therefore, taking an average
depth at 1000 yards, and that this body
Of water contains 81 per cent. Of salt, we
have consequently existing in the sea no
less than so, 900, 600, 900, 900 tons of salt
Were all this water to be dried up. then
we should have deposit of dry salt over
the entire bottom of the seas equal to
$50 yards in thickness. Were it all taken
from the sea and spread equally over the
whole surface Of the dry land, it would
make a covering 900 feet in depth.

Insanity Among Negroes.

Until recently insanity was almost I'M

that the few which occurred were sent to

struggle for a livelihood and Intoxicating
liquors of the worst quality are at the
