A WORLD WIDE REPUTATIoN-Dr. r. Y.

treatment OF Chronic Diseases resulting in
q professional business far exceeding his in

We clip the following from the Buffalo
Express:
A branch OF tho Worlds Dispcnsary
Medical Association" is to be established in
London, Eng, Il step which the continually
increasing European business OF the Dispcn-
sary has been found to warrant, and next

great metropolis named, to superntend tho
organization of the new institution. This
gentleman has been for some four wears as
sociated with DR.. Pierce IN position of re-
sponsibility. and is well qualified for tho
duty now entrusted to him. Heretofore
the foreign business of the Worlds Dispen-
eary has been transacted through the agency
or prominent druggists, but it has assumed
such proportions as 80 require more direct

The annual report of the general land Of
fee shows that during the past fiscal year
., S33. 600 acres OF public lands were dis
posed Of; z, 4Sj, 900 surveyed, i'll additionto
1Gi. .59i 900 previously SURVEYED. The to-
tai number Of acres Of the public domain
still unsurycycd IS l,OSl, 600, 900. Dis
posals were made as follows: Homestead
entries. ), 200, Goa acres; timber culture en-
tries, 2.7ji. .00t; cash entries. 632, 900;
grants 10 railroads, 2IS, 900; swamp lands,
patented to states, -, 600; other grants to
states. IS6, 600 acres. The amount SIR
vcved the last fiscal year exceeds by 49,
o0H acres the total surveyed the previous
year, while the report shows falling off OF
77a, O0J acres In cash sales, state selections,
scrip locations and land patent d for rail-
road grants. The increase in area taken up
by settlers under the homestead and timber
culture laws has been sufficient not only to
cOunterbalance this falling of, but to make
the aggregate dispossls for the year greater
by 637, coo acres than for the previous year.
The increase in homestead entries was ST.
900 acres, in timber culture entries, S96.-
900. Owing to the existing laws for the
disposal Of public lands for homestead and
timber culture it is shown that during the
last year. with larger disposal of land.
there were received from all sources ST.
sS3, 900. less by SI39, 900 than the amount
received the previous year. Large depOs-
It's of coal and iron exist in the public lands
in Alabama, far removed from the means
of transportation, and it is suggested that
they be disposed Of ON the same terms IA
agricultural lands.

y Monster SERPENT.

F. One of the most intrepid wild beast tanlers
in Europe, Karolyi, Magyar of colossal
stature and extraordinary physical strength.
has recently fallen q victim to a dread con
tingencv OF his perilous profession. lie
was performing before a crowded audience
at Madrid, the other day, one Of his most
sensational feais, which consisted in allow
ing a huge boa constructor, over twenty feet
in length, TO cnfold his body in its trc-
Inendous coils, when suddenly a piercing
CIV escaped him, which was greeted by the
public with round of applause, under the
sunpos;tion that its utter5nce constituted n
part Of the performance. II proved, how
ever, to be the outcome of a strong mans
death agony. The gigantic snake bad tight
ened its coils a2d crushed poor kGrolyi's
life oIt OF him with ono terrific squeeze.
As his head fell back and his eyes became
fixed in a CLASSY state. the plaudits died
away and were succeeded by the stiffness
of utter CONSERVATION. The snake ana lis
lifeless victim swayed for a second or two
of incxprcssible horror, and then topplcd
over on the boards Of the stage; but the
boa did not in the least rciinquish his grip
upon the corpse. which remained for more
than an hour imprisoned in its bidcouS
thraldom, nobody daring TO approach the
liihe monster, Of whose powers such ap-
pallng proof had been given. A; length

Extensive Zee Farm.

Near the village of Beeton. Ontario,
Canada, there is . bee farm which is prob
ably one of the most extensive and sue
cessfnl things of the kind in the world. il
consists of four bee-yards situated at the
angle of square mile OF country. The
current year, so far, has proved favorable
for honey III. D. \. Jones, the owner,
had at the end Of July, already secured %,
900 lbs OF honey from go stocks Of bees.
The hives used are oblong pine wood boxes.
with cubic capacity of 3,240 in. the in
side measure being i5xlSxl2. The pro-
prietor expects total yield for the year of
20, 900 lbs. of honey from his l9,000, 900
little workers, in which case he would net
between S7,GOO and $40, 600 for the years
product, without taking into account the
sale Of swarms or OF queen bees. This
statement which we find in an exchange, as
to the present being good year foE honey
does not afree with some statements made
on the subject.
