Miscellaneous Notes.
The Africans do not believe in long
winded essays, even in their diplomatic
treaties. The extradition treaty be-
tween the King of Ethiopia and the
Khedive of Egypt is as follows, and en-
braces every criminal case: His Ma
jesty the Negoosa Negust and his High
ness the Khedive engage to deliver
up, one to the other, any criminal OF
criminals who may have fled to escape
punishment from the dominions of the
one to the dominions Of the other"
The announcement that the Chilean
Government has declared a war of ex-
termination against the monarch of vul-
tures-the e~andor-and offers SIS for
every candor killed, justities some re-
marks as to the possibility of the Chilean
Government realizing its purpose. The
candor has, indeed, been declared IAN
enemy to the republic" and candor-
hunting has become a highly lucrative
business: but when one takes into con-
sideration the astounding powers of the
bird and its wonderful habits, one finds
it hard to believe that the Government
can ever succeed in destroying the species
at any price.
In the German Empire, seventeen
years ago, there were 300 towns, with
populations Of between 5000 and 90

modations. In the year 1880, the num-
Der of such town was only 1872. OF
towns having populations of between
1000 and 5000, there arein the empire
1875, of which only 46s had any rail
way accommodation seventeen years
ago. BY 1880 the number of towns so
provided had risen to 932.
The Philadelphia Ledger says of
street car conductors who assist women
passengers with their baskets, bundles
and v~alises: "This is true of the con-
d%uctors, with rare exceptions. They
are especially careful to assist women
passengers, without regard to station
in life, and there can be no better test
of courteous attention."
Sheridan having said of the recent re-
view of the Pennsylvania militia that it
was the finest he had seen since the dis
bandment of the Army of the Potomac,
the Philadelphia Bulletin says: "Penn-
sylyanla, under General Hartranft's fos-
tering guidance, has built her militia
system up to a point of excellence that
is not surpassed, if it is eaualed, any,
where in this country. The national
guard has been unified in all particulars,
and welded into an organization. which
may safely be depended on for any
emergency which it may have to con-
front"
Co-education at Cornell university is
summed up as follows in a circular re-
Gently issued by that institution:
young women bear the strain of men
tai work quite as well as young men,
and there is no more sickness among
them; moreover, q large percentage of
them complete the course and graduate.
and the average of scholarship among
them is higher than young men. This
fact does not necessarily imply mental
superiority; it results, doubtless, from
the greater regularity with which they
apply themselves to their tasks" This
is indicative that the average girl".

Cyclonia is the name of an Indian
baby, and it is no minmomer. She was
born during the frightful cyclone in
Jamaica two years ago, which swept
away villages and forests. The house
in which the mother lay was demol-
ished-all except the four walls and
ceiling of the room in which she was.
Destruction relgned all about her, and
any other part of the premises. But
the mother and her newborn babe
We're saved. They named the little one
"Cyclonia," and she is strong and
healthy enough to raise one at slight
provocation.
