 sively to white children, and this action has
 made almost as much disturbance as similar
 action would make in southern city. One deeply offended citizen is reported as saying: 'T served during the war of the rebellion and did my part in aiding to free the slaves of the
 South, but had no nation then, nor have I
 any intention now, of having my children
 commiDele with colored children in the same
 class room. There are schools especially es
 tablishsd in this city, taught by colored
 teachers, at which all the grades are taught
 for these people. and it is wrong to admit them to the white schools. If there ars not | enough colored schools let rs build more." The manufacturers of condensed milk at a factory in Montgomery, New York, could not | understand how it was that the product of l their shop was regularly returned by dealers | as worthless. They took all sorts of pains with the manufacture, and the milk was bought from the honsst farmers of the vicin- ity. Yet the condensed milk wouldn't sell and the factory had to be shut up. A chem ist was set to work experimenting. After finding that there was nothing wrong in the RAONOSo WYE milk in hand The result of his invsstigs- tiens in this field was to prove that in sev- eraI of the cans sent to the factory the con tents had been diluted with five or six quarts of water, to which had been added 8 mix ture of borax and saltpetre to conceal the di- lution.
 Some light is thrown upon the question whether or not hanging Is pain full by the sx- perience of a laborer in England several years ago. A number of men were one day discussing an execution which had just taken place at Liverpool, when ore of them ex- pressed 8 desire to learn what hanging was like. His companions were ready to gratify him, and he was soon swinging from beam in the barn where they had gathered. But they left him too long in this situation, and when at last they let him down he sank to the floor to all appearances stone dead, However, after a long interval he began to revive, to their great relief, and at length he sat up and stared wildly about him. Then one of his companions asked: "Well, Tom, how do you like hanging?" s'Hey, man," answered Tom, with Q stutter, ''hanging's nothing; it's coming te life again that's ter rible.'
 A Berlin paper publishes the following in- teresting figures concerning the proportions of wounds received in different parts of the body by soldiers engaged in the great Euro. pean wars: Crimean war-33.2l5 French wounded; in the head, 16 60 per cent; in the trunk, 16. 10; in the upper extrsuities, 31. 40; in the lower extremities, 95- 50. English wounded, 1895, of whom there were wound ed in the head 21. 50 per cent; the trunk, 15 30; the upper extremisies, 297 70; lower extremities, 8. 5e. Prussiau- Danish war Prussians wounded, 1868; in the head, 15 80; the trunk 16 80; the upper extrsmities, 30 so; lower extremities, 36 60. Danes wounded-2, 46s; in the head, 14.69; trunk 16 30; upper extremities. 33 4s; lower ex- tremities, 35 70. Austro Prussian war Prussians wounded, 5 TAI; in the head, 8 so; trunk, 16 90; upper extremities, 25; lower extremities, 49 30. Franco-German war French wounded, Il, AS; in the head, 12 70; trunk, %. 40; upper extremities, 30 20; lower extremities, 27.4O. Germans wounded, 2l,- 079; in the hsad, 12 50; trunk, 16, 10; upper extremities, 30 70; lower extremities, 4o.7O. The comparatively small number of wounds upon the head is possibly in some measure accounted for by the fact that feE so injured lived long enough to receive medical care. The grand average from these statistics shows of wounds in the head, 14.65 per cent in the trunk, IT; in the upper ex- tremities, 30.19; in the lower sxsremitieR, 36 95
