everything else, and it would
not be many years before he

it secondary to what they con-

A discovery which was Just
made at Alleppo is likely to
cause considerable surprise in
military circles, for, according
to the Turkish gazette of that
place, a party of engineers while
making excavations beneath the
citadel of the town, have come
upon "a large wrought-iron
breech loading cannon, which
must have been buried for at
least $50 years. That the weap-
on should be n breach loader is
in itself sufficiently astonishing,
but the most extraordinary part
of the affair is, that the breech
mechanism is almost exactly
similar to that which has for so
many years been fitted by Krup,.
of Eas0n, to the artillery of the
German army. The gun bears
the name of its maker, Halebii
Mustapha, Osia, and is in fairly
good preservation.

The Nomenclature of Storms.

Prof. w. II. Brewer, of the
Sheffield Scientific School, New
Haven, Coun., says: "Most
people have the idea that the
word cyclone expresses some
thing much more terrible in the
way of a wind-storm than either
the words whirlwind or tornado
whereas the reverse is the case.
A cyclone extends over a wide
circuit and need not be violent
enough to canse any serious
damage throughout the larger
part of it's path. We generally
have two or three cyclones a
month, but hardly ever a lorna
de. The wind storms that are
of such common occurrence in
the West, and sometimes visit
this section, doing so much dam
age to property and life, are not
cyclones at all, although usually
a part of one. The tornado has
a narrow path and the cyclone
a wide one. The old English
word is whirlwind. Some forty
years ago meterologists in this
country, adopted the Spanish
word tornado as a synonym for
it. Tornado soon found its way
into the American dictionaries,
but has never yet appeared in
the English dictionaries. Late
ly the word cyclone has come to
be applied to these violent and
destructive storms, and owing
to its acceptance by the news
papers, has been popularized.
But it is, nevertheless, an i'm
proper use of the word, and
should therefore be discouraged
by the press.D

A Question That Admits of Doubt.

Few OF our readers, perhaps,
appreciate the extent to which
English capitalists are acquir
ing land in the South. One
purchase in Texas, one in Flori.
da and one in Mississippi, ng.
gregate more land than is con-
tanned in the State of Alabama,
and this is only three out of
many purchases. Whether this
is destined to be an advantage
to the South or otherwise, is a
question that admits of con-
siderable doubt. Vast landed
estates are not in harmony with
modern American ideas, but as
our land is for sale, we see moth
ing to keep any one with money
from buying it.-Montgomery

The Public Debt.
[Aberdeen Examiner.

The Treasury statement shows
a reduction in the public debt
for the month of May of s4 $780,.
476. The decrease in the debt
from June 30th, 1882, to May
3lst,. 1883, amounted to S119,
725,05l.
The debt on May 31st amount
ed to a total of S1,SS7, ,057,471, of
which $517, 1887, ,S95 is repre-
sented by legal tender notes,
fraction currency and gold and
silver certificates that bear no
interest and circulate as cur
rency.
This leaves an actual debt
as no one cares to retire or OBJ

National banks of $1,369 Sl9,-

The entire bonded debt of
the country can be easily paid
within the next ten or twelve
years if the revenues Of the
Government are kept up to the
present standard and the ma
tional banks permit the redemp
ton of the bonds upon which
they are founded. 1t would be
far better policy however, to ex.
tend the period of payment to
twenty or thirty years, and ma
terially reduce the burdens of

FarIy Rising.

This, in a general sense, Is to
be encouraged, though just
what is early rising has not yet
been determined, though one
has fxed on seven o'clock In
the summer and eight o'clock in
the winter. If we should fol-
low the example of the birds
and the domestic animals, we
should improve on this custom.
The birds cease their joyous
carole ut about sunset and are
quiet, recommending their prais-
es as soon as four O'Clock in the
morning in the summer, taking
their morning meal later. Now,
If the young should follow their
example of early rest, 1t is more
than probable that they would
rise with the lark and the sun,
and be joyous and healthy,
other things being favorable.
But 1t must not be supposed
that all can safely rise at the
same hour, with no regard to
varying circumstances. II one
can retire early, it is we'll to do
so, uEquestionably; but If not,
then a certain amount of sleep
should be obtained, enough to
fully satisfy the demands of ma
ture, since, during the sleeping
hours, most important changes
occur in the animal economy,
the blood being consolidated,
transposed into the living tis'
sues Of the body. And let it be
remembered that this Ia affect
ed the most favorably during
the night, in darkness. 1t is
also true that growing children
need a great deal ofsleep, which
they must have or they will not
thrive. tits absolutely cruel to
call them regularly out of a
sound sleep an hour before they
have the amount of sleep de-
manded. If it is expected that
such should rise early-which
ordinarily is desirable--early
retiring is a necessary condition.
But If It is ascertained, on a
fair trial, that q growing child
has not slept enough, on being
called early for a given time,
good .sepse dictates that more
system. Th6 same Il fue D

Snakes and Wild Beasts in India

AS many as 10000 deaths oc.
cur annually in India from snake
bites, and since 1870 from 100,
900 to 100000 have perished in
this way. India possesses more
deadly snakes than any other
country, and bite of the cobra,
is often fatal within half an
hour. In the year 1880, 2I2,776
serpents of all kinds were de.
stroyed, and rewards, amount.
ing in all to 1868 rupees, we're
paid to their destroyers. In the
northwest provinces and in
Dude a body of KanJars has
been formed for the specia, pur-
pose of killing off the venemoas
reptiles of those district. The
men receive two rnhees per
month, aud if a man is so fortu.
nate as to destroy more than
twenty snakes during that peri
cd, he is paid the equivalent
of about three pence per
heat for all in excess of that
number. In 1881, wild beasts
caused the death of 1851 per.
sons, as against 2,S10 in 1880,
and the number of animals kill.

enormous. The leopards are,
perhaps, the farmers worst foes,
