tional debt about one-tenth, although she
has several times been engaged in costly

Russia have done the worst, the increase In
Russia's obligations being something like

So great would be the profits derived from
a cotton picking machine, that it is said the
cotton planters could essily offer reward
of a million dollars for the invention Of such
a machine. Numerous efforts have been
made by inventors, but up to this time with
| out success. The cotton gin was the inven-
| ton of Yankee schoolmaster in the South,
and 1t would not be surprising IL some one
| of the Yankee school teachers In the South
now would invent the much desired cotton
picker. The cotton gin was mine of wealth
to the South, though it added very little, II
anything, to the fortune of the inventor;
and successful cotton picker would doubt
less prove of equal value to that region. A
fortune awaits the lucky man who will
evolve 1t from his Cincinnati Times
Star.
At the Sanitary Congress In England, the
other day, the Hon. F. A. Russell said that
1t was found that at height about equal to
that of the upper rooms in high house
dryer climate prevailed thar over levels,
and with a daily range siUTS. IA greater,
and much less cold 3. oldest and on
foggy nights than dow, Glow. The prac-
tical conclusions seemed to be that invalids
and delicate persons should generally be
placed in high, sheltered situations, In the
hi CHEST rooms Of house, and by no means
on ground floor; that every house ought
to be built on arches, or thoroughly ven
tilated below, and raised on piers above the
ground level; that no house or cottage which
was not ventilated underneath, with damp
proof walls, should be considered habitable,
and that In the country no house should be
considered habitable of which the floor was
on feVel with or below the ground.
A cultured and Sne appearing woman, the
wife of a well-kE&wn citizen o. Albany,
and still in the thirties, has been creating a
good deal Of talk among the merchants Of
that city b--her eccentricities. She is in the
habit of going to the leading dry-goods,
carpet, and furniture stores, carefully eX-
amining the stocks, and making arrange
ments for extensive purchases Of goods, but
not asking for their delivery until paid for.
She also visited the Delevan House, and bar
gained for a suite Of rooms, which she was
to refurnish in an expensive style. In like
manner she arranged with livery stable for
the care of several horses. AS no goods
have been delivered and no steps taken to
complete her singular bargains, no harm has
been done except to occupy the time OF
many people for nothing. The lady is IN
telligent ia her conversation, and indicates
ample knowledge of business affairs.
The only sign of mental weakness is her
eccentricity in shopping.
Monaco has been uncommonly silent for

glad to see the scandal suppressed, and the
English Government has taken similar
position, so that the moral responsibility for
the existence of the institution now rests on
France. 1t is argued then that, as French
citizens are protesting against 1t, It's days
are numbered, and that It is not entirely
improbable that overtures have been made by
the Monaco gamblers to the Prince of Mon
tenegro for permission to transfer their
houses to Dulcigno.
It is stated that in case Of the death of the
present Pope, whose health is precarious,
his successors likely to be Cardinal Vladi-.
mir Czacki. He is by birth Pole, but by
lineage Hungarian of noble family. Pope
Leo is his patron. Great things have been
prophesied of this Cardinal while he is pa
pabilis in every qualification except that of
being an italian. This. of course, does not
to be an italian has grown into an almost
necessary qualification to the Papacy. He
has been actively engaged in church affairs
at Rome from a very early age, was Rp-
pointed to take charge OF the ecclesiastical
department by the late Secretary Of State
Antonelli, and served with distinction under
the Cardinal Secretaries Simeoni. Franchi
and Nina. The English Cardinal, Newman,
II he had the luck to be an Italian, would
prove formidable competitor to Czacki.
But in the presence Of the feeling now ex-
listing against England throughout the Latin
races of Europe, the chances of DIR. New
man are slim. England gave but one Pope
to Rome--the man who delivered over Ire
land to the conquering lust Of the Norman
English.
NJ. PurvIlle, in CaaSseries SctentJttquss,
discussing the subject of putrescent organic
matter in water, argues that the danger
pertaining to such matter does not arise
from it's constituting, as has been superb
ciaiiy supposed, an organic poison-the
phenomenon being, In fact, far more COM
plex. The researches of M. Purville lead
him to conclude, on the whole, that the Or
ganic matter in suspension, or in solution,
creates in the water a peculiar medium,
suitable for the development Of exceedingly
small beings of the genus vibrio, so that 1t
Is no longer water merelY-it is
rather 9 world Of microscopic ami
mails and plants, which are born,
live, and increase with bewildering rapidly.
