Mo9o lake. os1fFo.tyr4.

The density Of the water Is re.La---.-
BILE, being just the reverse of thaa #
Lake Tahoe, in which the l.
of drowned person never returns to
the surface. A paper says that for b:t-
terness and promiscuous meannass the
waters of Lake Mono surpas3 those OF
the Dead Sea. They contain so much
alkali that on a windy day the lake IS a
regular tub OF soapsuds. The writer has
seen wall of lather five feet high along
the whole Of that shore against which
the waves were beating. Occasionally
the wind would take up bunch CT
lather as big as q bushel basket and
carry it several hundred feet inland. So
buoyant are the waters Of the lake that
quite party CT men may navigate them
on raft made Of four or five dry cot
tonwood poles. Out in the lake are
islands Of rock Qava-like concretions),
through which streams Of water boil up.
The water of these springs is like that
of the lake, but in one place is large
spring OF fresh water. This is near the
northwest corner of the lake, and at
point where there is a depth Of eight
or ten feet of water. It is a SORT of
fountain. A column OF fresh water,
some three feet in diameter, is projected
upward with such force that it raises to
the height of at least two feet above the
level of the lake in the form Of a mound
or knoll. and makes arippling noise that
can be heard a considerable distance.
But for the fact that this fountain has a
depth Of eight or ten feet to contend
against, it would probably rise to con
siderable height in the air.

A NEW PIECE OF SzRArEGE.

David Swing, in the alliance, tells
how bride reformed her profane hus-
band. She invited her bridesmaids, four
in number, to a quiet dinner. as they
knew of the profane habits of the groom,
and also of his good qualities, they en-
tered gladly into the proposed comedy.
The plan was that all these beautiful
women should use profane words at the
table, as the hot coffee or hot weather
OR slow servants might afford opportu-
nifty. It was bold plan, but it is said
to have cured the wicked husband for
when his elegant wife applied a profane
term to the biscuit, and q fair guest
made a like remark Of the coffee, and
still another applied profane expletive
to the movements Of a servant, the hus-
band absolutely cried with remorse that
he had ever used such an outrageous
form of speech. Prof. Swing thinks
that "while such cure cannot be JUS
titled, because it kills the ladies without
curing the masculine offender, yet the
story itself May serve to show that man
as an animal that swears is a mournful
curiosity"

It may reasonably be considered that
the present cheap letter postage would
not have been established but for the
newspapers, which have created such
constant use of the mails. The United
States ought not to be behind Canada.
The 10000 or more advertisers in

JERKED lBEEN.

A great trade in dried OF jerked beef
is being carried on in South America.
Thousands Of tons are exported yearly
from Montevideo, Rosario, and ether
parts of Uruguay and the Argentine Re
public. In certain OF the saladeros or
factories upward Of 1000 cattle are
killed daily in the season, one man be-
ing usually the executioner OF the
whole, and dispatching them by pune
turing the spinal cord at the back Of
the head. The animals are cut up and
the flesh piled in great heaps with lay
ers of salt, by seni-naled savaSes, half
Basque, half Indian, who have pecuI-
lar knack of causing the flesh to debach
itself in flakes from the bone by giving
it stroke with their broad, cutlGss-Iike
knives. Wonderful quiclzness and dex-
terity are exhibited in every depart
ment of the process, but the whole is
said to form one Of the most dis9ustio 6
spectacles imaginable. Mixed with
black beans and farina, OF cassava meal,
ierked beef becomes the staple food of
the lower orders throughout the coasts
of South and Central America.

FoST4GE or NEWsPAPERs.

There are now over 11,000 papers
printed in the United States. In view
OF the fact that the press is an educa-
tional agent, it has been suggested that
the Government could not do better
than to allow publishers to send their
papers free of postage and as many
copies as they are willing TO tax them
selves with in order to secure new sub
scribers, and the result will be be-
nefcent to the the Postofice Departmen.
and the public. In Canada publishers
are allowed to mail their editions free
Of any postal charges, because the
authorities recognize the Importance Of
newspapers as public educators, and
wish to further so benefcent an in
stitution by every means in their power.
An article in the AGENTS Herald shows
that the newspaper, beside being a
great boon to the masses as an educator,
IS also a great factor in the matter Of
dollars and cents to the Postofice
Department. It can be safely said that
a very large proportion Of letters
written are in reply to advertisements.
An advertiser says he received in an
swer to his advertisements no less than
$40, 900 letters in the course Of q few
months. The postage stamps upon
these letters cost $1,000. Allowing
these letters can be carried for cents
each, as the postal department admits,
the profits to the postofice from these
advertisements was S2,4OO. Frequently
there are 1,900 letters sent in reply to
an advertisement OF o single inch. The
profit is in fact more than 1 cent per
letter, for, postal facilities having to be
maintained at any cost, the publishing

The American visitor to Brighton is in
variably disappointed, because he expects
beauties and diversions that only the COM
bination of half dozen metropolises and

derful thing about Brighton is its being

lines of stono and brick residences rising
almost from the brink of the sea and ex-
tending inland over the hill of Surrey.
The resident population IS now 250,000,

Mrs. Bancroft, the actress, visited re-
Gently one OF the most celebrated dentists

aristocratic jaws, to have her teeth exam

ness Of the expert, she asked what his
charge was, but he refused to say until he
had completed what was but an inspection
and some cleaning. This done, he said
his charge was $3.50. The artistic protested
and offered 500, which, she said, was al
the money she had with her. She added
that she had brought so much because she
was told the charge would be exorbitant
and provided herself with q sum expected
to meet the highest figure. She declares
that the fashionable dentist took the 500
and, clapping his back to the door, would
not allow her to leave until she had signed
note for the rest. The case is TO be
