"A Connecticut farmer advises tn

voice, but for their many-eyed plumage
They are as easily raised as turkeys, ant
while the art decorative mania lasts
"there's millions in 'em.'
!, "A factory for extracting gold from
coin was discovered in Sacramento. By
means of galvanic batteries and chem
icals the pieces we're diminished in
weight without perceptibly altering theil
appearance, only about five per cent. Of

Francis Eppes, the last ofthe grand.
sons OF Thomas Jefferson, died May 80,
in Florida, at the age of eighty-one.
His father married Maria jefferson, the
Presidents youngest daughter, and he
was also related to the President through

respondence.
Mr.. Johns Hopkins, the founder of
the university in Baltimore bearing his
name, accumulated nine millions of
dollars. One day he said to his garden
er: "Next the hell of being utterly be-
reft OF money is the purgatory of pos
sessing q vast amount of it. I have q

.-Kev. Mr.. Brown, Wesleyan mis-
sionary of New Britain, seems to be the
right kind of man to send among the
cannibals, but his Government thinks
otherwise. The savages killed and ate
three or four Wesleyan missionaries,
Whereupon the Rev. Brown raised and
headed an expedition and slew sixty or
seventy of the cannibals. The British
Government has placed the fighting
preacher under surveillance, and or
dered an official inquiry into his conduct,
which may be looked upon as human,
but as wholly unchristianlike.
"A lady writes to the Detroit Free
Press that the masculine habit of irving
to conceal approaching badness is un-
worthy OF the sterner sex. At funeral
her attention was attracted to 'sfive or
SIX hairs-certainly not. seven crossing
and recrossing each other, as if wildly
endeavoring to conceal the shiny surface |
beneath. And then I begin to wonder,
If few flies should get into the intricate
lattice work composed of six hairs on |
the mans head who is sitting before me,
what the result would be.''
"A daily paper in the Hebrew Ian
guage is published in New York City
the Daily Jea0ish Gazette, ssthe only Jew
ish daily in the world" The Hebrew
type from which tits printedis very neat,
and the characters are clear; but the
language itself is not the Hebrew; it is
the German-Jewish dialect or iareon
used by the orthodox Jews of Germany
and Russia. Many of the Jews of Ger
many and Poland in New York are una
BILE to read any other language than that
thus peculiarly formed. Any one know
ing the Hebrew character and the Ger
man tongue can read the Gazette at
once.
The Duke of Wellington, whose life
was for years almost daily in peril on the
battlefield, was for years afraid to travel
by railroad, having conceived terror
Of locomotive engines from seeing Mr..
Huskisson killed by one. At length, in
lS43, he made his first journey, being
in attendance on the Queen, who her
self did not use them until 1912. The
injury done to the railroad cause bv the
death of Huskisson was in great measure
neutralized by the simultaneous news
hat Mr.. Stephenson's locomotive en-
zine carried the wounded man fifteen
niles in twenty-five minutes. To the

That the interior of the earth is the r.
