plete list of all American newspapers, and all
the leading newspapers of the world. Such
is its claim, and there is no apparent reason
to doubt its correctness. The volume is a
large one, and each page has blank column
that changes may be noted. 1t will prove a
very useful book in all publishing houses, and
desirable ready reference work for all news
paper men.

latter is a series of letters written from Paris,

CRIMES IN FRANCE.

a singular and interesting table of sta
tistics has just been published in Paris.
This budget of French crime has been
brought out, and the political economy Of
punishment supplied with fresh install.
ment of facts and figures. a criminal
budget extending over five years supplies
us with rough average from which we
may make our own deductions. The Chan.
cellor of this criminal exchequer points to
his budget with pride, and, like other
dealers in figures and tables, is anxious to
show that there is no cause for alarm or
dependency. The population of France
may be roughly stated at about 81, 600, 600,
and the annual average crop murders is
about 200, of infanticides about 100, and
of unjustifiable homicides about 1913. 1t is
curious to find how very little variation
there is in the annual harvest of crime.
Thus, in the gravest charge, 230 was the
greatest return of murders, and 1875 the
least, and there is the same equality Of
proportion in the other categories. The
return gives emphasis TO this fact as ex
planning the singular circumstance that IL
the course of five years there was almost
the same number OF capital sentences car
ried out. AT the last census the popula
ton OF Great Britain amounted to SO, 500,
600, but the number of murders was by nc
means so uniform. 1t would be a consola
ton for Frenchman to know that only
one in a million of his fellow countrymeI
is guillotined, were it not that extenuat
ing circumstances" leave wide margin o.
doubt London News.

LIGHTNING Typos. 49, The following is
from the San Francisco Bulletin of June
18th
In the composing. rooms of the Bulletin
there are at present quartet Of printers
whose equal in rapidity and correctness it
would be difficult to find These men are
w. G. Armstrong, q. Torres, r. Collins
and J. c. Collins. The latter two are
brothers. The four men can set type at
the average rate Of ! 500 ems of solid non
pareil per hour. j. c. Collins, who is re-
garded as one of the most rapid type-setters
in the country, has set as high as SIS ems
of solid minion in Is minutes. The copy"
used was reprint. 1t would be very diff
cult, perhaps to get such rapid work with
manuscripts as ''copy." Copy has been
known to be presented to the craft of
which it would be difficult to set 200 ems
an hour The quartet in question feel so
confident of their superiority over their
fellow craftsmen that they have issued a
challenge to friendly contest at the case
1t will be soon enough for any lightning
typo to talk business with the quartet
named when he is sure he can turn out
1900 ems or more of solid nonpareil in an
hour.

NO DIPLOMA.

In Sheffield well-known witch-doctor
was recently brought up before the Coro-
ner to explain how he treated a patient
who had died under his hands. The doc
tor was of middle stature, with ruddy face
and hands, closely shaven drab hair, and
commonplace look. He felt quite at his
ease, and the following dialogue ensued
What is your name?"
My name is Mr.. Brearly."
Your name is not Mister, is it
eyes, it is. Mister John Brearly is my
name"
Who are you?"
"a doctor"
"To what college do you belong"
''To no college"
"What trade were you brought up to 2"
81 have doctored eight years
and was brought up to nothing else"
"Whst did you do to the deceased"
81 put my hand on his breast, and told
him his chest was full of water and his
heart was in the wrong place. gave him
small bottle to take, and box of pills
"What did the bottle contain"
Nothing but oil of juniper. The pills
were anti-bilious."
What are they composed of p

bilious is made of. buy EN- of Doctor
Gowarth"
You say the deceased had water on the
chest what did you do to him."
II put plaster on his breast, and telled
him to keep it on"
Ibid you think his lungs were affected ?"
Eyes, and drowned with water"
eve shall have the man opened. and
see if you placed his heart in the right
place.
"Well, if his heart has gone back out of
its place, it's nothing to me. l told him
to be gentle with it, l have a thousand
patients, and they bide good deal of
looking after. don't charge anything for
fee, only for MISUNDERSTANDING Cd,

your gig last night Were you much
hurt"
sob, no, only had three ribs broken. I
set 'em myself this morning and plastered
them up. / once fell down three stories
and had my shoulder broken, and set
that myself.
The learned doctor made his cross at the
examination, not being able to write,
when the inquest adjourned for post
norton examination. 1t is singular that
in country having such stringent laws
such an ignorant quack should be permitted
| to kill off deluded patients al infnitun,.
| This fellow was as well known in Sheffield
as DR.. Faustus or DR.. Syntax, and drove
his gig.

THE FREE eERmAN CITIES.

A very fair idea of the issues involved in
Prince Bismark's latest raid upon the Ger
man free ports may he gathered from an
inquiry into the relative prosperity of
those places which are still enjoying the
advantages of free trade and those which
are included in the German zollverein.
Taking Bremen for an example, it will be
found that, whereas in that contented lit
tie place the prices for foreign products
rule at pretty much the same rate as they
burg, scarcely half an hour distant, are al
most strangers to the advantage of enjoy
ing articles not produced in Germany at
anything approaching reasonable price.
Cotton goods, sugar, tea and coffee are
there charged at nearly three times the
amount asked for them in the free town !;
such fruits as raisins, figs and almonds
the latter very important ingredient in
many German confection-are almost too
dear for common people to purchase !;
while tobacco, almost necessary to the
Teuton, is quadrupled in value directly it
enters the customs union. As result the
inhabitants of Oldenburg are almost uni
formly poor, while their brethren of Bre-
men are rich. operate performances and
other expensive delights, unknown in the
frst-named place, are common in the lat
ter. The unhappy people who have the
misfortune to be under imperial taxation
regard their more lucky neighbors with the
profoundest envy, and sorrowfully compare
their superior lot with their own. Very
naturally, those who boast the advantages,
therefore, of living in free town are anx-
ious that no step should be taken toward
depriving them of their good fortune. -

DIRECTORY Woes writertin Chicago
says a meet the directory canvasser in
my rounds and occasionally pluck few
interesting secrets out Of him. A weary,
wayworn wanderer he is at best, but this
year he is full of unspeakable trouble. It's
tough work, he remarked, swabbing the
perspiration from his brow, tough, tough
work to get people to give up. Give up
what 2 said. Give up anything, said
he. Why, do you know there are whole
rows of good families that try in every way
to dodge away from us, and when they
can't dodge US they go to the company and
almost 90 on their knees to have their ad-
dresses kept out What's the object p
quoth 1. Blest if l know said he but
l can tell you l have just been offered,
right here on Ohio street, by lady, $40
bill to keep her husbands address out of
the directory. Maybe the husbands in
debt, or they're afraid of their granger
cousins swarming in upon them at the
Conventions. Don't know, of course, all
the reasons, but know it's like drawing
eyeteeth to get name out of 'em. They
make me feel like personal tax man. I've
got to fish up neighbors all the time, and
poke into family secrets like detective. >"

ELECTRO DEPOSITION AS A SUBSTITUTE
FOR CAsTING.-We find, in London Nature,
an interesting reference to the process of
electro deposition lately referred to in this
department of the Journal, and which, in
the hands of an electro -metallurgical COM
pany of Brussels, promises to become a
practical substitute for casting in the pro-
duction of bronze statuary. Our contem-
porary confirms our previous statement
that this company had succeeded in pro-
ducing colossal statue of Van Eyck by
the deposition of copper electrically upon
the clay model. The same authority no.
tices a simple procedure by which the pro-
duction of bronzes on a small scale may
readily be carried out. Take any plaster
figure or group, boil in stearine, then coat
well with black lead, and place in the cop
per bath as in ordinary electrotyping.
Attach very weak battery, and deposit
very slowly thin coating of copper.
Then remove from the bath and bake in an
oven until the plaster model shakes out in
dust. There remains now only thin
copper shell of the model. Varnish this
on the outside, to prevent further deposit
ton there, and replace in the bath, with a
much stronger battery power. The copper
will now deposit on the inside, and when
the same becomes thick enough, the pro.
cess is finished. Il Engineering Journal

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-05-27

A tragic ending to an amusing incl
dent was witnessed few days ago at
Massegps, in. Italy. IA man with a
dancing bear arrived in the evening and
begged lodgings OF a farmer for himself
and his charge. The bear was 'accord-
ingly turned into the pigsty after the
pig had been removed to another shell
ter. In the middle Of, the night three
malefactors appeared on the scene, with
the intention OF stealing the farmers
pig. The resaltle can. easily be imagined.
The bear gave the men warm recep-
tion, promptly flooring the two who
ventured into the sty before they dis
covered the substitution of the animals.
The third .robber was petritied' with
fright at the fate Of his companions, but
managed to shout for help, and the
farmer and the bear-keoper were soon
on the spot. They found the first man
quite dead, the second dangerously
wounded, and it is believed the adven.
ture has destroyed the reason Of the
third.
