Stopping Engines by Electricity.

Among the various uses to which
electricity may lie put there is one of a
very simple and practical ture which
promises TO effect great saving of
property and life if brought into gen.
eral operation. The inventor of this
new contrivance is Mr.. Tate. But. to
speak correctly, it is rather an applica-
ton of existing electric power than
new discovery. Simply, the contrivance
is an arrangement for the immediate
stoppage o. a steam engine by merely
pressing 4 button simil ir to those by
VIII oh electric bells or fire. alarms are
sounded. This button may be placed
at any distance from The engine upon
which it acts; and Mr. Tate proposes
that number of such buttons should
be dispersed throughout the factory
or elsewhere where the apparatus is in
use. In factories accidents occur al
most daily through the impossibiIity of
stopping machinery on the instant.
Such accidents, will, it seems. be read
lily avoided by this method of instan-
taneously stopping the engine from any
part OF the build NJ in which it works.
The principle of the contrivance de-
ponds on the action of AL elect.o-mae-
net upon the stop-valye of The engine.

TOYS That Cost Millions.

An experienced toy dealer says the
annual production of toysin this country
amounts to at least 81, 00O,O 900 in value
and the importation to $4,000, 600. These
figure. do not include the large quantity
Of costly goods handled by toy dealers
for the holiday season, such as albums,
fancy glass ornaments, toilet sets, etc.,
but, counting in this class of articles, one
house in this city is said to do business
of over 81, 500, 900 per annum, and there
are many Others that do almost as much.
Some of the houses deal largely in dolls,
and it is the one toy that every little girl
in the land must have. and, indeed,
there are but few little girls that are sat
isfied with one doll; they must have a
family. One house exhibits at least one
hundred kinds of dolls of all sizes and
styles
Many wonders are among the mechan-
ical toys, and the banks are very good.
A sprawling little frog will kick penny
down the throat of big frog near, and a
Jolly bootblack sits on his box balancing
the penny you may give him until it is
lost to sight. Then there is the "shOot
the hat" bank, and there is the elephant
that mods the head when you wag his tail.
These are perfectly modelled after the
famous Jumbo. Dolls houses ars fur
nished with all the paraphernalia neces-
sary, one of the handsomest houses being
the DOLLS Villa" a folding toy which,
when set up, represents large house,
with roof, cornice, and chimney, and
doors that will open and shut. A pretty
lawn is before it, with four little figures
playing lawn tennis, a girl in a tent,
man going to the house, a fountain, trees
and shrubbery. The whole thing can be
taken down in few moments and packed
away in little flat box.
A big toy for dollar is the "circus"
Three horses gallop around the ring, a
girl turns sOmersaults through hoop on
one of the horses, very funny clown on
the second horse and gallant equestrian
in surprising feats on the third. Other
effective large dollar toys, are the men,
agerie, a stable with a cart and three
horses in its stalls, and grocery store,
with fine STOCK of goods. A new edi-
ton of Noah's ark is made of iron and is
on wheels. Iron animals peep through
the open windows, and in the keel is the
money bank. A coal dump cart with
horse attached, is of malleable iron. A
tug-boat, with two canal boats attached
to it, is of iron and may be used as a saw
ings bank.-N Y. Cor. Newdrk Adre, tiser.

cost the snug little sum of $1,000. 000,-

of the fences is often greater than that

According to the existing Russian
law apostasy from the State religion
entails severer penalties than theft or
murder. A Russian subject who aban-
dons the orthodox faith for any other
whatever is deprived of his children,
his estate is handed over to guardians
appointed by the state, and he himself
is liable to prosecution by the Holy
Synod until he abjures. The GOlOS re-
marks that this severity defeats its own
object, and advises that this antiquated
legislation should be abolished in favor
of full religious tolerance and liberty
of conscience, after the example of
Western Europe.
In order to know how many people
die every year one has only to examine
the statistics of the world population.

America, sc, 900, 900; Oceanica, $780,

give total of l, 400. 100000. Allowing

AGE life of thirty-nine years, it is found
that every year 35, l35, 000 people die

Reer In the FatherIand.

While the taste for beer seems to be
gradually giving way in England before
the growing attractions of more ardent
spirituous drinks, the robust appetite of
the German continues with undated
Zeal to patronize the malt liquor to which
he has so long been addicted. The sta
tistics of the empire.show that last year
the consumption of beer within the
fatherland amounted to no less than
$4,000. 600 gallons. Of this amount
about 24,0O0,000 were consumed in
Baden, 7O,OOO,OOO in Wurtemburg, and
265,OOO,000 in Bavaria; the rest being
provided for Prussia and the smaller
states, by 1000 breweries which are
there established. The taxes on these
places of business amounted, one way and
another, to about 1850, 900, besides some
10000 levied on exports of beer. The
proportion in which various nationalities
in the empire indulge in their favorite
drink is by no means uniform. Thus
the general average is about eighty
quarts year for each individual, and in
the Kingdom of Prussia the average is
rather less than this. In Alsace-Lorraine
it descends as low as fifty quarts. But
every Badener drinks on an average
about 10 quarts, or nearly pint day,
and every Bavarian at least 200. 1t is
necessary, to arrive at fair estimate of
what this means, to deduct from the total
consumers in the kingdom many of those
who, living in the Palatinate, drink wine
rather than beer. When this abatement
is made and allowance also given for the
women, who are not great topers, and
such children as are not yet nurtured
upon malt liquor, it will be seen that the
adult male native of Bavaria who drinks
beer at all regularly has to account dur
ing the twelve months for something not
far short of a gallon day.-London
Globe.

The B-.t Remedy for Chapped Hands

Is Hegeman's Camphor Ice. 1t should be
rubbed upon the part affected. If the hands
are badly chapped, apply every night and pro-
tect the hands by wearing an old pair of kid
gloves. Hegeman's is the best and most pop
ular of all the camphor ices made. Hege-
mans Camphor Ice is also cure for sore lips,
chapped face and sunburn. 1t is compounded
with glycerine, which renders it more emoi-
lent than any other csmphor ice, and it will
face after shaving.
Be sure to ask for Hegeman's formerly
made by Hegeman Il Co., New York, and now
made by the Metropolitan Med. Co., of New
Haven, Conn, and do not he put off with any
other compound, which may become rancid,
and do you more harm than good. Hegemau's
Csmphor Ice never fails.
