TOPICS OF THE DAY.
OF the cotton-seed raised in the
United States last year about 2.s00, 600
tons was fed to stock or used as fertil-
izer as il came from the gin, while
from the balance of 10000 tons the oil
was extracted. The 2.sO0, 900 tons con-
tanned ss,o00.OOO gallons of oil, worth
$39, 200, 600 in a crude state and S62.-
700, 900 when refined. and this was en-
tireiy wasted. as the seed is worth more
either to feed or use on land after the
oil Is pressed out. Such is the calcula-
ton.
August Gottel, large owner Of Cali
fornian mines and partner in New
York banking firm, gave CSC, 900 to the
sufferers by the Vienna fire. Herr
Gcttel lives in quiet bachelor fashion
in Vienna, where his charities have been
on transatlantic scale, though he has
never made himself prominent. He
states that the presentsift Is a thank
offering for his preservation. He had
arranged TO 60 to the Ring theater on
the very night of the FIRE, but was pre-
vented at the last moment by an appar-
emily small accident.
IT,
Many coffee drinkers have undoubt-
eddy been disturbed by the widely pub
lished theories Of DR.. Book, Of Leipsic,
who pronounces coffee and tea to be
the chief causes Of nervousness and
peevishness 30 common in our time.
Upon this point, however. doctors dis
agree, and we find DIR. Henry Segur
arguing that the effects Of these bever.
ages are far from injurious. As remed-
ial agent he believes coffee to be OF
great value, while its use promotes di.
gestion and otherwise exerts healthful
influence upon the system. To confirm
this belief he points to the fact that
habitual coffee drinkers are generally
healthy, and live to good old age.
News from Accra, Africa, has con-
firmed the report which at first seemed
too atrocious for belief, of the massacre
of 200 young girls by the king Of
Ashautee. The dusky monarch who has
been guilty Of this crime is the brother
Of King Koffee Kalkalli, who was de-
Gated by Sir Garnet Wolsely, and
afterward detbroned. When the present
sovereign seemed to be threatening
Cape Coast Castle last summer re in
forcenents were forwarded to the
British governor from Sierra Leone;
whersupon the Ashantee king replied
by presenting to Queen Victoria his
royal golden AK. This was at first un-
derstood by some hasty commentators
as as insult or as sign of his strong
desire to cut of her head. But 1t was
soon known to DO as pacific an imple-
ment as Kcffee Kalkalli's royal UNI
brella, which is also among the queens
knick-knacks. The Ashantee kings raid
turned out to be directed against his
neighbors, the Fautis, for building ma
terial. he needed to repair one of the
red clay walls in his palace at Coomas-
sic. and accordingly he ordered to be
captured 200 girls, who should be muir
dered in order that their maiden blood
might moisten the clay and mix the
mortar. This ferocious mandate has
been carried out. 1t had seemed story
too horrible for credence until its
present confirmation.

the elements Is productive OF much rheumatism
among them, and they suffer considerably from
pains, the result Of cold, bruises, sprains,. &c.
ST. JACOBS OIL is a fayorite remedy with these
men, because'of the splendid service IL renders
them. Captain Schmidt Of Tompkinsville,
Staten Island, N. y, says that he has been q
great sufferer from rheumatism for many years.
He had severe rheumatic pains in nearly every
portion of his body, and suffered so that at times
he would be entirely unable 70 attend to eetiye
business. He said: / am quite well now, how
ever, and, as you see, / am able to work without
any trouble. / attribute my recovery entirely TO
ST. JACOBS OIL, for felt better as soon as com
menced to use that remedy; and whenever feel
anything like rheumatism coming ON, ! rub the
place with the OIL, and 1t always does what is
claimed for II. Finding ST. JACOBS OIL did me so
much good, got my family to use 1t whenever
they had any pains or colds, and II has done good
in every case when they have tried 1t. l. can
say that ST. JACOBS OIL Is mighty good rheu-
matte remedy, and don't intend to be withoutit"

!. s. black fer ske Neck.
There il great fancy for black lace
and hills Of black. lisse for the
neck and wrists. and these are found to
be convenient, economical and also be-
coming 10 many. The double ruffs Of
black Sranish lace laid in four plait-
Sngs two of which are turned each
wsy. are greatly in favor with young
ladies'. A cluster of knotted loops Of
marrow moirs or satin ribbon is the
most stylish fastening at the throat for
such rufus. Other ladies have . double
or triple frill Of black crepe lisse with
purl edges basted inside the standing
collar of the dress. and add similar frills
10 the sleeves. Spanish lace is also
basted in as . standing frill, or 10
allowed to fall over high standing
collar. The Spanish lace fichus and
the 1ne barbes and fichus Of real black
thread lace that have been laid aside for
several seasons are now worn again
with dresses that are low pointed at the
throat. and these have nothing white
added inside. A brooch or lace pin
iastens them, and velvet dog-collar or
slender Venetian chain with q pendant,

In one or two strands, will then be

Venetian Women.
: Being almost wholly uneducated the
Venetian lady, says correspondent, ID
naturally an inveterate gossip. Her
tongue wags eternally, and can only
wag about the small talk Of her native
town. for all beyond is an unknown
world to her. Every afternoon she
goes to reception Of friend, when
she herself is not receiving. At these
receptions there are twenty OF thirty
women and one or two men. Each
fresh arrival is handed round to be
kissed by all the ladies, and when O
visitor goes those who remain pick her
70 pieces as crows do car
rion. Strangers--and in this they
include even Italians who are mot
venetians they regard with distrust
and dislike. They appear to be on
friendly terms with them, but behind
their backs they sneer and ieer at
them. No matter how long they may
have resided here, the line OF demarka-
tion is kept up. As the Venetian
ladies talk patois among themselves,
and many of them are unable to talk
anything else, they never get over q
feeling of awkwardness and constraint
when with those whose language is the
purer italian. When not either at
home or visiting the ladies are seated
on the piazza of st. Marc, where they
meet the men Of their acquaintance
and interchange notes.

False Eyes.

Most people are under the impress
sion that the artificial eye is in the
form of globe, and that to have it in
serted it is necessary that the entire
eyeball should be removed. But this is
not the case. In very few instances is
the eyeball completely destroyed, and
to cut it out to make room for false
eye would be an operation equally dan.
gerous as useless. The artificial eye is
merely thin shell OF silica that
can be inserted under the
eyelids by the individual himself. 1t
is held in position by the contraction
of the lids, and is moved about by the
optic muscles pretty much in the same
manner as the natural eye No dis
agreeable sensation is felt by the weaver,
and. as far as appearance goes, it would
be difficult to detect anything out of
the common, to such degree of per-
fection has the manufacture reached.
There is great difficulty in match
ing e5 es, as the contraction and dila-
tion of the pupil when exposed to sun
light or on entering q room, causes the
eye, of course, to assume darker hue
than it really has, owing to the differ
ence in the density of the pupil. The
only way in which this can be remedied
is to have the artificial eye several
shades darker in color than the natural
eye, a d this is invariably the practice.
The first thing a man, after getting
IN artificial eye does, is to ask every
friend what they thought of it; whether
it matched in color and size his other
one, and so forth, and the friend, glad
to have q chance of airing an opinion,
after slight examination declares the
color wrong and probably the eye
misfit in every way. The purchaser then
comes running back to the chop and
storms and RACES until he is assured
| taat it is owing to natural phe-
nomenon that his eye assumed a
slight change in size and color in
! the open air, and so on. A comical
side OF the picture is when the party
who is anxious to remedy his defect
Games attended by, say his family and a
few others these collect around him,
and each perhaps selects a particular
eye from the case and declares that 1t
is just the thing. The argument wakes
hot and heavy and the inevitable con-
clusion is that the unfortunate man is
compelled to go away with an eye un-
suitable in many respects. and which he
is only too ready to come back and
change few days later.
While ON the subject of eyes, it may
be said there is scarcely anything more
absurd than the practice usually cur
rent OF going to Europe for ophthalmic
advice whenever it is required. Amer
lean oculists have long since earned for
themselves worldwide reputation by
their wonderful skill in treating this
disease, and besides understand the
peculiar phases which are the product
of different climate far better than
their European compeers could posi-
bly do
