Ths Great Geysers.

In the number Of springs ana noted
geysers, the Yellowstone National
Park and New Zealand far exceed Ice
land, in which 1.-THE Great Geyser''
and "Stokhrn are the only two promi-
nent spouters. As to the number Of
springs in New Zealand, there are no
definite data, but they appear to be
numerous. In the Yellowstone Park
over 2,OO0 springs have been enum-
Grated and mapped, and among them
are seventy-One geysers, Of which
twenty are known to spout to a height
of not less that fifty feet. OF course,
in each of the three countries there are
hot springs outside Of the areas here
indicated; and il these are taken into
account, the American localities will
exceed the others, especially If the
California and Nevada springs are
counted. However, leaving the latter
out Of cOnnt, we find that in the ad-
jacent country both north and south
Of the Park there are springs on the
the same north and south line with the
geyser-basins of Firehole River; and if
they are considered as q part Of the
same system, the length of the line Of
thermal activity is about two hundred
miles.
As to the heights to which the gey-
sors throw the columns of water, there
is probably but little difference be-
tween the three regions, although the
Yellowstone Park has, perhaps, a
greater number which erupt regularly
to q height of one hundred feet or
more. The records of the New Tea
land geysers are, however, somewhat
deficient as to data on this point

stoves n
Tho United States use more stoves
than all the rest OF the world put to-
gether. There are 5000, 900 Of them
in use here, costing the possessors
perhaps $3.50, 100000. They range in
size from little toy affairs, which could
be carried upstairs, one under each
arm, by an ordinary man, up to colossal
stoves intended for summer hotels and
woodworking districts, which will do
the cooking for q hundred persons.
The price is calculated by their weight.
The founders sell them at rates rang
ing from 5 to 8 cents a pound, and the
retailers at about SO per cent. advance
on these figures. One stove lasts on
an averahe about five years. Some
large founders show nearly 500 kinds.
Many also make stationary and Balti-
more heaters, wrought-irOn and sta
tionary ranges, and gas and vapor
stoves, but these are not considered as
part of the trade. The chief producing
places are Troy, Albany, Cincinnati,
Buffalo, st. Louis, Louisville, Phila-
delphia, and Cleveland. The largest
foundries are two in Albany, one in
Troy, one in Buffalo, and one in st.
Louis. Each of them make from $780,
900 to $750,000 worth Of stoves an
nually. Stoves are exported to each
and all of the foreign countries with
which we have trade Of any kind.
When foreign manufacturers under
take to make a stove, they invariably
steal an American pattern in prefer
to devising a new one.

Girls Wanted.

Miss Ellen Ellsworth, of Rochester,
Pa, has run a millinery establishment
for a number of years, and has always
been able to get girls to work for her,
when every one else failed. The
reason of this vas that she has not
the power of speech, and consequently
could never scold her employees. The
other day some Of the girls got to cut
ting up, and Miss Ellsworth, losing all
control of herself, Numbered out, to
the establishment of everyone, the
words, "Oh, damn those girls!" When
she discovered that she could talk,
she made up for all the time that she
had lost and nearly talkedthe poor girls
to death. Now it is just as hard for
her to get girls a. any one else, and
there is a little sign in her window that
tells plainly that the madame has re-
gained her speech. 1t reads: "Girls
Wanted"

The new Upright Pianos of Mason & Ham
lin are highly praised by good judges. They
possess a refinement of musical tone which
charms the connoisseur and all who hear 1t.
This is owing largely to the new system of
their construction. The great experience of
Mason 4 Hamlin in their org>a business, with
the aid of their large corps of superior
musical and mechanical experts, has enabled
them, after several years of expensive exper-
iments, to produce a piano which bids fair to
do more for their reputation than even their
famous organs have accomplished. Their
chief Improvement consists in securing the
strings by metallic ~fastenings, instead of pins
held by friction, which renders it easy to put
the three strings of each tone exactly in
unison, n thereby produce tones of won
derful sweetness and purity. Messrs. Mason
& Hamlin have made 10000 cabinet organs.
They can hardly hope to reach this number OF
pianos, but We doubt not their new "uprights"

The fact that at the recent Reichstag

considerable surprise and uneasiness in

fact is properly recognized the better.
II Is also certain that purely repressive
measures will fail utterly of their in

Not long since it was all the rage for
ladiesto wear bugs, spiders, lizards, and
all sorts Of creeping things, made of
metal, on their hats and clothing.
The latest thing in the way of fash
ionable f~oolishness is to wear an arti-
fetal life-sized lobster on the hat. The
time will come when a young man
won't dare to drive a horse along the
street for fear it will run away, on ac-
count Of some homely-looking reptile
reptile OF gigantic insect roosting on
a lsdy's hat, aud innocent little chill

bad enough to see lobster in a restau-
rant window, but it is going altogether
too far when the ladies begin to trim
their hats with them.

"When he chews tobacco the juice don't

and he has another advantage-he don't

For the improved Carboline.

THERE is a boy in Putnam County,
Tennessee, a son Of Jefferson Lee, 10
years of age, who, owing to the peculiar
nature Of his skin, has never been
known to sweat a drop of perspiration
in his life. Another phenomenal feat
ure connected with the boy is that he
has only four teeth, and had those
when born, having neither cut nor had
any since his birth. He is very much
affected by the seasons. In the sum-
mer he gets exceedingly warm, and is
compelled, in order to live at all, to
keep his head and body wet with cold
water, and falls off to almost a skel-
eton; but when winter comes, and
cold weather sets in, he is enabled to
dispense with his bath and grows fat.
He is said to be a sprightly boy, with
plenty Of sense.
