A writer in Lippincott's says, with
emphasis: 1.-THE economy of French
cooking is something to opon American
eyes. Not a drop Of the water in which
vegetables are boiled ever drains away
wasted, but with Dash of milk and q
little pork fat or butter is made good

schools teach this art ofeconony in util.
izstion of material, they will even be
even more useful than at present.

The newest story from the mines in
New .s.Mexico is from socorro, where
they tell of miner whose Bible fell
over precipice while he was doing.
He descended into the canon to recover
the book, and found it lying open on q
piece Of rich quartz that lad been dis
lodged by the fall. His eye fell on the
seventh chapter of St. Matthew. The
miner read, "Ask, and it shall be given
unto you; seek, and you shall find" He
searched and speedily found lodge
over two feet IN width that assays-so
the story goes--S225 ton. Tho story
teller adds that that part of tho country
has since been overrun by prospectors
with Bibles in their hands.
Last year 10000 persons were arrest.
ed in Paris. and only 5000 women were
included in this sum total. The list of
professions and occupations is very mis-
cellaneous. Among the arrested were
5000 .ocksmiths. and the police had 10
tale charge of GG0 cabmen. Tho night
men form a heavy item in this bill, .l0O
of them having been under arrest in
1882. The figure 90 speakes well for
the general good conduct of the various
officials employed in the postottice. In
the higher walks OF life 81 stock bro Ike rs
and "a men of letters, Nhis
term including journalists) are noted as
having been in trouble. In the total
number Of prisoners charged with crime
or misdeineaner there were 3,29l for.
efgners. To this figure Belgium contrib
uted $50. Italy 759, Germany 379, Swllz-
erland 315, England l2G. The contingent
from the little state of Luxemburg
reached tile high figure os275.
Tho bisd population of Wisconsin is
estimated at sixty-six per square nile
or 3,595,000 for tho state. Zach bird is
assumed TO eat fifty insects day, or {,
600 for the Summer. Hence all the birds
will consume 2l,3S4, 100000 insects a
year. Add to this amount the work
which these birds do i'll their southern
homes and we have low estimate OF
the influence they exert over insect life.
Multiply these figures by forty-e,ght,
for the states aud territories, nnd we
arrive a, the conclusion not only that
or bird population is pretty large, but
also that, without it, our bug populat ton
would soon be 30 large that it would eat
