Initiated Air and Intemperance.

A working man writes to the Christian
Register concerning the connection OF
bad air and intemperance. He says that
working in large room in shoe factory,
with from fifty to hundred others, the
fumes of tobacco, mingling with the sick
ening smell of leather, he found it use
less to try to ventilate the room by the
windows. Every morning he lowered
them an inch, but in half an hour all
would be closed. The door had spring,
which prevented its being left open q
minute, and there was no way of secur-
ing fresh air. When he left his work at
night he felt so faint and ifeless that he
longed for a stimulant Many of the
men went at once to the nearest saloon,
when the days work was ended. The
men think it is hard work that makes
them feel so tired, but in reality it is the
breathing and rebreathing, hour after
hour, air which has been deprived of its
oxygen, and is loaded with poison. OF
course, Il-health is general among the
workmen, and it is not strange that the
fifty drink shops in the town are well
supported. 1t is much to be wished tina.
employers understood the importance Of
securing an abundant supply Of pure air
in their shops and factories. To do SO
would serve their interests, as the work.
men would perform their tasks with more
vigor and speed. There would also be
less time lost from drunkenness. Smok.
ing in the work should be prohib-
tied. No intelligent person will deny
that tobacco smoke in an unventilated
room is not only sickening to many per.
sons, but dangerous to all.

buted among the people before the proceedings

The Brush Electric Light Company, of Cleve-
land, Just completed o remarkable electric lighs
for the British Navy. 1t has 1O0,O 900 candle
illuminating powerfully times greater than
the ordinary electric lamp for street lighting
and is believed to be the largest and most
powerful light ever made with human hands.
1t is designed to be used i'll night attacks, and
to scrutinize the sea for torpedoes. A forty
horse power engine is required to produce the
light. The carbons used are two inches and a
half thick. The intensity of heat generated
between the carbon points is 10000 degrees,
one-ninetieth of the estimated heat of the sun.
1t is calculated that with an ordinary reflector
a beam Of light can be cast so powerful that a
person fifteen miles away can sec to read by it.

Two Women Welded.

The Boston Herald prints the follow
ing strange story from correspondent
at Dover, N. H, and it is given for
what it is worth. The writer vouches
for its truthfulness: Ten years ago two
persons were united in marriage by
congregational clergyman of this State.
The ceremony was performed in a small
town not many miles from this city.
They lived together as husband and wife
for more than nine years, having resided
in several different places, a part OF the
time in this place. A few months ago
the wife petitioned for divorce on the
ground that her husband was woman.
On examination it was found to be as she
had said. That she dressed in female
apparel when she first became acquainted
with her, but told her she was man.
It was proved that she was the divorced
wife of merchant of New York, and
had one child.

Destructive Earthquake.

Intelligence from Italy reports a terrible
earthquake in the Island of Ischia. Three
hundred houses were destroyed at Casa Mac
ciola and one street is in mass of ruins. One
hundred and twenty dead bodies have been re-
covered. Those of the population who were
not injured fled to the open country, and are
starving for lack of food. The soldiers are
helping in the recovery Of those that are living,
and have performed many brave deeds, and
have saved hundreds of women and children.
The wounded we're taken to Naples. The
scene of destruction is reported as narrowing
in the extreme. Many dead bodies are yet in
the ruins Fissures in the streets are fifty CEN
timeters wide.

George Crump, vice-Consul Of Great Britain,

10 England, saying that the mortality among
the swine In Illinois in 1880 was 70o,000, which
naturally enough created some CONSERVATION

country, and the matter was brought up IN the
House Of Commons for some action. What

The two-year-old child of James Coyle, g
New York coachman, died, and Coyle began .
protracted spree. While the baby was in the
casket, and just before it was removed to the
hearse, Coyle, who was in liquor, entered the
room and demanded money from his wife to
get more whisky. Upon her refusing to give
him the money, he threatened to kill her and
throw the corpse out Of the window. Lashing
himself into state of frenzy, he beat the face
of the dead child with his clenched fist. He
was subsequently arrested, and Justice Murray
committed him to the Island for six months in
default of 81 600 bail.

Rich People Of the Olden Times.

That we have some very rich people
in this country there is no doubt, but
where are they, asks the Cincinnati Star,
as compared with the Roman aristocrats
Vanderbilt may be able to give his check
for $50, 900, 600, but when Cyrus returned
from the conquest of Asia he was rated
at $500, ,OOO,O 900. Mrs. Astor may give
an entertainment at the expense of $685.
600, and Mrs. Mackay may give dinner
parties that cost $50, 1000, but festival
given by Ptolemy Philadelphus cost $2,:
239, 900. Alexander's daily meal, frugal
as it was, cost 81, 700; and money was OF
so little account to Claudius that he once
swallowed pearl thatwas worth $40, 600.
James Gordon Bennett has been known
to give many thousands of dollars to
people for whom he had acquired fancy,
but according to Tacitus, more than
$97, 200, 600 was given away in similar
manner by Nero. Queens of fashion in
New York and San Francisco have ap-
peared at balls wearing Jewels estimated
to have cost $500, 900, which pales into
insignificance when compared with the
alleged fact that Lolita Taulina wore
jewels valued at 81, ,662, 500, and that
when she wore these it was only on the
the occasion of plain citizens supper.
Over $50, 900 was spent in providing a
funeral for an eccentric New Yorker
who left directions how the money should
be spent, but the obsequies of Hephaes-
ton cost 81, 100000. Americans have
died and left millions to their sons who
have squandered it all in score of years,
but Antony 'got away with" $7S5, ,0O0,-
600, and Tiberus left the snug little sum
of $118, 900, 900, which Caligula squan-
dered, to the last penny, in less than
one year. The late lamented Sothern is
said to have spent $780, 900 in year in
good living, but it is said that Pegellus,
the singer, spent money at the rate OF
$40, 900 week. And then there was a
