Fires and Insurance.

Mir. Edward Atkinson. president of the Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Co.,, of Boston, recently read before the Boston society of arts, paper upon "The relation between the architect and underwriter," on which occasion he slated the following important facts:
 The fire tax imposed upon the people of the United States is the heaviest tax to which they are subjected.
 It is more than equal to the cost of the largest standing army of any European nation.
 It is as causeless and as useless and as unfit as would be the existence of a standing army of an equal cost in the United States.
 The cost of fires during the past four years has been $327, 900 900, and the last year was above the average.
 The actual sum paid out by insurance companies in four years was $l7O,OO 900.
 The cost of sustaining insurance com panies is $50, ,O00, 900. and of fire depart ments is S25, ,OOO. 900.
 The whole business, credit and traffic of the country depend upon the integrity of insurance and upon its being main tained fully, amply, creditably and rightly paving the indemnity it as- sUmeS.
 MT. Atkinson says that the first step to remedy this enormous loss is for i'm sEance companies to say: Construct your buildings in such way and pro- tect them in such way, as will prevent these fires, or we will not insure you.

Pigs. A Statesman and a Jaguar.

Freed by pigs is not exactly the posi- ton to which we should expect to ma a colonial secretary-at least, not oIteh. But when Mir. Fowler, colonial secre- tary of the Honduras, was recently ex- ploring the interior of the colony, he was overtaken by a drove of peccarles. and had only time to take snap shot at the first of them and scramble llpsa tree, dropping his rifle in the perform ance, before the whole pack was around his perch, gnashing their teeth at nm, grunting, and sharpening their tusks against his tree Now the peccary IS not only fcrocious hut patient, "nd rather than let an object of its anger escape will wait about for days, so that the secretary had before him only two courses--either to remain where he was until he dropped'down among the swine from sheer exhaustion and hunger, or else to commit suicide by coming down to be eaten there and then.
 While he was in this dilemma, how, ever. what should come along-and looking out for a supper. too-but a | iaguar! Never was beast of prey so opportune, for the jaguar has particular | fondness for wild pork, and the pee
 carries know it, for no sooner dld they l see the great ruddy head thrust out I through the bushes than they boltec helter -skelter, forgetting, in their deslrs
 to save their own bacon, the meal the,
 were themselves leaving up the tree
 The iaguar was off after the swine witt
 admirable promptitude, and the secre
 tory. finding the coast clear, came down
 reaecting, as he walked toward tn
 camp, upon the admirable advancement
 of nature, who, having made peccarle
 to eat colonia, secretaries, provided als
 iaguars to eat the peccaries.-Lo'ado

Pearl Divers and Sharks.

The pearl divers of the Coromalend coast are not unfrequently attacked by Qround-sharks. As rule, shark will leave man with dark skin alone put when hungry, it rarely makes dlfer- ence between an European and a Hindu. Knowing this, the divers of whom | speak, frequently aym themselves with stout bamboo, in the shape of cross, with the extremities made sharp: With this four pointed dagger they will dare any shark to seize them; for, as the monster turns on his back and opens It's mouth for the bite, they dexterously thrust the bamboo cross between Its jaws. Great care is taken of the strength of the bamboo; the consequence IS that the shark, on closing its mouth to obtain the first taste of it's anticipated meal, drives the spikes well home between it's jaws. Fishermen say that once shark has a sturdy, well-pointed and placed bamboo cross fixed in it's distended mouth, no efforts of the creatsre's can rid it of the wood. Its efforts. are de- ycrised as being often furious and comic. The diver, as soon as he has irnpaled hls eremy, has to get out of the way as last as possible, for a blow from the tail oi an infuriated shark is no joke. As fo1 the comic side of the picture, 1t must be a ludicrous sight for little fishes to wit
 ness, to see their dreaded, but now i'm.

ImmensitY of Creation.

There are, according to the computa- tion of some astronomers, no less than 75,OOO, GOO ofsuns in this universe. The fixed stars are all suns, having. like our sun, numerous planets revolving around them. The solar system. or that to which we belong. has about thirty planets, primary and secondary, belong ing to it. The circular field of space which it occupies is in diameter 3,oOO.- 600, GOO of miles; and that which it con- trols much greater. That sun which Is nearest neighbor to ours is called Sirius, distant from our sun about 22,O00, ,OOO,- GOO miles. Now, if all the fixed stars are as distant from each other as Sirius is from our sun, if the solar system be the average magnitude of all the systems of the 75,000, 900 of suns, what imagination can grasp the immensity of creation? Every sin of 75,OOO, ,OOO controls field space of about 10, ,OOO, ,OO0, ,oOo of miles in diam eter. Who can survey plantation con- taining 75, ,000, 900 of circular fields, each of such vast extent? Such, however
 is one of the plantations of Him who
 has measured the waters in the hollow
 of His hand, and meted out heaven witl
 a span. and comprehended the dust o | the earth in a measure, weighed tn
 mountains in scales and the hills in

A Bird Poisoned by Nicotine.

Pick" 8 parroque. belonging to 8 New York Sun writer, has had numer- ous escapes from death. A hawk came cry near snatching him from the top of 8 weathercock, where he had gone to sleep. He escaped the claws of hun gry cat while asleep on gate post. He came within a hair of being caught in a closing door, and was once badly mangled while sleeping on rope near the wheel of dumb waiter. His mar rowest escape was in February, 1879. A meerschaum pipe had been removed from a white marble mantel, leaving behind it the amber stain of the nico- tine. The stain attracted the attention of the bird. He had barely touched his hy-ike tongue to it when he fell over on his back apparently dead. He was carried into the yard and rolled in the snow. Faint screams gave signs of life. He was then taken by the legs and swept through the air, forcing him to use his wings. "Appleton's American Encyclopedia said that tea was an antidote for nicotine poisoning. The mouth of Picks friend was filled with hot tea. He ground the bill of the bird between his teeth, forced it open, and wet his tongue with the decoction. The little fellow swallowed some of the tea and began to vomit. The tea was administered at regular intervals, and the drowsy bird was not allowed to close it's eyes Within two hours he became excessively angry and uttered passionate screams. From that hour, however, his life was safe. He rapidly recovered, and ever afterward avoided yellow stains. @ @A s

Picture of Loyal Indian Brave.

The Indian brave who has been taken in Deadwood and the United States courts for the past few days, and who attracts so much attention where ever he goes, is 8 United States soldier, and took an active part in the pursuit of the fugitive Cheyennes year ago. In the fight he had two horses shot under him and was himself wounded by bull let which passed through the flesh of his breast and left arm. The officers advised him to go to the rear. but. al though bleeding profusely, he stub bornly refused and fought to the end of the battle, slaughtering the Cheyennes like sheep when he once got among them. He is witness in the Provost case which comes before the court for trial today, and is altogether q fine specimen of his race. His costume con- sists of very wide legg .ngs of finest blue mackinaw, with broad fringe of white fur up the legs and trimmed with gold lace, beads and green cloth; over this a capacious mantle of the same dark blue material bordered with white fur. gold lace and braiding of many colored beads. On his feet he wears snow-whlte moe casins embroidered with beads of dozen hues, and rimless beaver or otter skin cap covers his raven-black hair. Standing around upon the street he IS a picturesque type of strange people doomed soon to extinction.-BtGcEH Hatts @. ID Pioneer.
