A Town OF DwARFS.-A writer il
London Times describes the effect of ex-
cessive intermarriage on the inhabitants
of Protes, little province Of Santander,
Spain. Until eighteen or nineteen years
ago, the village was quite shut off from
the rest of the world. Its inhabitants,
from their eyerrecurring iutermarriages,
had become quite race of dwarfs. On
market days the priests might be seen,
with long black coats and high black
hats, riding in to purchase the simple
provision for the weeks consumption =
men of little intelligence and no learning
sprung from the lowest ranks. About
eighteen years ago the Galician
laborers or Gallegos, from the mines Of
Galicia, svarmed into the town for lodg-
ings, ETC., and since their colonization
the population has increased in strength
stature, education, intellect and morality.
Their intellects, also, have improved
intellects which had been stunted, dwarf
ted and ruined by their frequent inter
marriages.

THE EGYPTIAN ARMY.-MeClellan
says in Scribney that when one of the
Khedive's American officers had been
some months in Egypt the khediye sent
for him one day and asked what was the
worst thing he had observed in regard
to the army. He replied that it was
that the regiments were commanded by
civilians. The Khedive said, esNo,
there's a coi~nel for every regiment.
eyes," said the American; "but each
colonel, chief OF battalion, and captain,
has private clerk, who controls every
thing relating to the pay, rations, and
clothing of the men, and whoever does
that really commands" "You are right, %
said the Khedive, "but how would you
correct this2" s'By requiring that the
colonies should have sergeants as their
clerks; the chief of the battalions cor
porals, and captains private soldiers;
and also requiring that the soldiers
should supervise and do much of the
real work themselves" ''That means
that the army should learn reading and
writing and arithmetic!'' "That is ex-
actly what am coming at, your High
ness" The Khedlye reflected for a
moment, and then at once wrote an Or
der to the Minister of War, requiring
from that moment no person in the ar
my (either officer or soldier) should be
promoted until he was master of reading,
writing and arithmetic. The eonse-
quence was that the whole army imme-
diately became a school.

The AGE OF RoGAs.-At the first
meeting session of the Liverpool Geolog-
ical Society, the retiring president de-
hvered the annual address. The subject
was an interesting one, being a calcula-
ton of the amount of solid matter re-
moved annually from the surface of Eng
land and Wales in solution in rain or
river water. The result of the calcula-
tions, which were Of an elaborate nature
showed that it would take thirteen thou
sand years to move in this manner one
foot in depth OF solid matter over the en-
tire surface of England and Wales. This
calculation was compared with others.
AS throwing light upon the age of sedi-
mentary deposits, the calculations taken
together with the amount of matter an
nually brought down in river water in
the form of mud, are extremely interest
ing, and the president deduced from
them that the minimum amount of time
which must have elapsed since the first
sedimentary rocks we know of were laid
down, is, in round numbers, five hun
dred million years, thus supporting the
views of Lyell, Hutton and other geolo-
pists as to the immense age of the world.

PAINT FARM TooIs THIS WINTER. -
The Colonial Farmer urges farmers to
paint up their machines, tools and i'm
plements this winter and thereby not
only have them all ready when wanted
in the spring. but actually add
to their value and durability. 1t says,
with much truth, that millions of dollars
are lost annually in the United States,
by neglect to paint farm wagons, plows,
harrows, sc. These things, if well
painted and kept under cover when not
in use, will last three times as long as
they Will when not repainted after two
or three years use. Any farmer can
paint these things. All that is needed
is Venetian red and Iinseed oil, half raw
and half boiled, then wash the imple-
ment to be painted, thoroughly, and
proceed to apply the paint.

ADVENTURES OF A MAsoUERADE1

ADVENTURES OF A MAsQUERADER.-
Mr.. Duffey, of Oakland, CAL, went to a
masquerade ball recently in the charac-
ter of a giraffe. His costume created
much amusement, especially at the sup
per table, where he remarked that he
must drink three bottles of champagne in
order to wet his throat all the way
down. On his way home at an early
hour in the morning he was extremely
fatigued, and lying down under tree
box fell fast asleep. A timorous police
man seeing the strange figure from dis
tance, aud concluding rathe r
rather hastily that a tiger or some other
wild animal had escaped from the men
agerie that was exhibiting in the next
block, fred four shots at the recumbent
giraffe, one of which perforated the pad
ding, and is now imbedded in Mr.. Duf-
fey. The NeeOs-Letter, speaking on the
authority of the wounded Duffey, an
nounses that in future he will be sent
home from fancy balls in a push-cart or
O furniture wagon.

AOOURAGEOUs WOMAN.

Courage that will vanquish two thieves
and conpell them to restore their plum
der is not often found in so low lati-
tude as q kitchen. 4 servant in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Close OF Pittsburgh achieved
this signal success recently. The FAM
ily had gone ont for the day, and the
servant found herself face to face with a
burly rascal on the porch She asked
him what he wanted, and, he answered
that it was none of hef business. She
then ordered him away, and he retorted
that he wouldn't go until he was ready.
The girl became frightened, and slip
ping in the hall door, closed it in the
mans face, locked it and put the key in
her pocket. She had been in the house
only minute or two when she heard
noise up stairs, which she thought was
coal falling from a CRATE. She ran up
stairs and saw thief rummaging among
the bureau drawers. She did not cry
out, but crept down the staircase very
softly. Remembering that in another
room there was q revolver belonging to
Mr.. Close, she went in aud got it, and
then walked down into the hall to await
the coming of the thief The latter hav-
ing heard her. came down with his hands
and pockets full of jewelry, and was as
tonished to find himself confronted by
the brave girl, with the cooked revol-
yer,in her hands. She ordered him to
drop his plunder. He refused, but the
girl, trembling, and cryiag with excite
ment, yet evidently determined, told
him she would tell him three times, and
then If he didn't obey her she would GER
tainly shoot him. The man again hes
itated for few moments, but before
waiting to be told the third time, capit--
ulated and laid down his plunder. The
girl then threw him the door key and
ordered him to- go, which he did with
out loss of time, his partner outside
having already evinced the better part
of valor and run away. -

A RACE OF MEN WITH TAILS RE.
PORTED.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

SAAS =
A Wesleyan Missionary, Rev. Geo.
Brown, has returned in safety from an
exploration of twenty months on the IN
known coasts of New Britain and New
ireland. He crossed the latter island,
which he found well populated. No
white man was ever seen inland before,
perienced in getting the natives to go
any distance from their villages, as they
are so often at war with one another.
Plenty of proofs of cannibalism were
here. One of the party, on going into
one house, to light his pipe, saw wo-
man roasting the leg of man who was
killed the day before" The exploring
party was interested in the curious le-
gend of the tribe of ''taiIed men" which
is met with in many uncivilized coun-
tries but they did not, unfortunately,
succeed in getting any further than sec
ond hand testimony. ''The natives" it
is stated, ''of Blanche Bay, New Britain,
affirm positively the existance of q race
of men with tails at place called Kali,
and deny Indignantly that they are monk
eys, asking if monkeys could fight with
spears, plant yams, make houses, etc. But
it is significantly added that the interest
ing race dwell in the interior of the coun-
try "where no white person has ever
penetrated. "Mr. Cockerell, naturalist,
who accompanied the expedition, had
special opportunities of research. He
was detained for some time as hostage
in New Britain, and was engaged in
''collecting" upon New Ireland for five
months. He found the natives very
friendly. but he does not otherwise give
them a good character. 'They are all
dreadful cannibals, and there is strange
custom in New ireland which requires
that chiefs daughter shall be kept i'll
cage within her fathers house until
she is of q marriageable age. The cage
scarcely gives her room to move, and
she cannot leave it during any part of
tne uiy, tHouSu Sn0 IL aiIo"eu TO Jake a

When a chief dies his body is wrapped
up and placed in tree, and the poor
people are put in canoes in the sea to
float away. The natives have large plan
tations, and work about two days in the
week. They live chiefly on bananas,
cocoanuts, and pork, but they also in
dulge in human flesh"
