FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS;

The longest verse in the Bible is Es
ther viii, 9.
The late Baron Rothschild had diff
ferent kind Of soup for every day in the
year.
In Eastern Asia, fish is found with
eyes in halves, like some eyeglasses, for
near and far sight
The Japanese pipe is the smallest
known, only supplying the smoker with
one or two whiffs. The Dutch pipe is
the largest.
The cataracts of the Nile are due to
granite veins, which the river, while
working way through the sandstone,
had been unable to destroy or remove.
A very brilliant light is obtained in
China from candles-only Of late years
imported into Europe made OF wax sup
piled by insects specially reared through
Chinese ingenuity.
The despised milkweed can be used to
advantage at the present time. It's seed
yields finer oil than linseed, its gum is
as good as India rubber and its floss re-
sembles Irish poplin when spun.
King Louis XI., of France, ordered
that an astrologer should be thrown out
Of window at a given signal, but be-
fore his orders were executed said: "You
pretend to be such wise man, and know
SO perfectly the fate Of others, inform
me little what will be your own and
how long you have to live" The as
trologer answered promptly II know
my destiny, and am sure I shall die three
days before your majesty" 1t is hardly
necessary to say that his life was spared.
London Nature tells Of canary that
had been greatly annoyed by the hard
ness of the bits of cracker thrown into
its cage One day it lifted piece Of
cracker and, taking it to the water
trough, dropped it in and then stirred it
about with its beak until it was in con-
dition to be eaten. 1t now puts very
hard substances which it deems eatable
into the water. 1t endeavors to soften
sweets in the same way, but finding that
the sweets became gradually smaller, it
hastily abstracted it, and has never since
put anything of that nature into the
water.
An engine said to be the smallest in
the world has been made by watch
maker now connected with a watch
manufacturing company. AS described,
the engine is of the upright pattern and
is made of steel and gold. It rests on
twenty-fve-cent gold piece and can be
worked either by steam or compressed
air. The cylinder is little less than a
sixteenth of an inch in diameter. with
little less than three thirty Of an
inch stroke. The balance wheel is
third of an inch in diameter, and makes
something like |, 1000 revolutions min
ute. The wristpan is sapphire cut for
the purpose.
The most perfect artificial eyes are
made in Thuringia, Germany, and have
more natural appearance than any
others. The iris is covered with silver
and the blood vessels with gold, and
when properly inserted they will move
almost as readily as their natural com
panion. Of course much depends upon
the condition Of socket and the state Of
the muscles as left by the surgeon The
greatest trouble is the matching of the
eyes. Eyes wear out, their life being
about year or little over The salt
and alkaline solutions of the tear ducts
have an effect on the surface of the glass,
and eventually roughen it, 50 that new
eve is necessary.

A Rare Affection

J. Fl. Pooley, M. D., describes in the
Popular Science Monthly rare and
strange affection known among medical
men as e bloody sweat He says:
This rare affection, which has always
excited in high degree the interest and
attention of medical observers, consists
essentially Of hemorrhage from the un-
broken surface of the skin. But, mas
much as it takes place from the network
of small vessels which surround the
sweat-glands, and makes its appearance
through the opening of the sweat-ducts,
it is not inappropriately, after all, named
"bloody sweat"
The discharge is generally intermit-
tent, or at least remittent, and paroxys-
NAL in its nature, the intervals varying
from few hours to months. Sometimes
it is pure blood which coagulates in
crusts or gouts upon the surface, some
times it is so intermixed with serum or
the perspiratory fluid as to be merely
more or less deeply colored bloody
liquid.
Its extent varies extremely; it may
make its appearance over the whole or
nearly the whole surface of the body,
but more commonly it is con
fined to some selected regions. gen
orally those in which the skin is thin
and delicate. It most frequently appears
as more or less copious and continued
oozing from the surface, which, when
wiped away, rapidly or slowly reappears
from numerous minute or indistinguish-
able points, but it has been seen to spring
up in distinct jet from the surface.
It is often associated with eruptiohs
upon the skin. but quite as often there is
nothing Of the kind. Every age and
both sexes have furnished examples of it,
though it is most common in females,
and especially in nervous and hysterical
women. Bloody sweat may be produced
by overwhlming mental emotions, and
marks the acme Of such perturbing pas
sions as terror, anguish, despair, etc.

A Florida Feast.

We Gull the following from Florida
letter to the San Francisco Ctronicze:
we say good night to Aunt Katy and
drive on. The sky is peculiar to Florida
on such night-a steel blue, with thous-
ands Of tiny, feecv clouds like daisies
fecking its bosom, and under which the
moon looks and laughs like beautiful
face through brides white vail. We
pass through lane, on the right of
which we see glimpses of water through
clumps of young oak, and come presently
to the jackson orange tree. All the
Jacksons are out on the porch Of the lit
tie brown house father, mother and
babies and there hang the clustered or
anges, from three to four thousand On
that grand old tree. Oldl Well, per
haps twenty years have roughened its
bark; and after jackson is dead, and his
children, and his children's children,
somebody will pluck the golden fruit
from those same limbs, for ithas seventy
five years yet in which to reach its prime.
Jackson comes up, and with bis hands
full of silver goes back with baskets and
ladder, and presently we are pairing and
eating the luscious fruit
Perhaps de ladies would like some
sugar cane, jackson says, pocketing his
money ITS got it wid ten jints, five
cents stick" OF course we are all
clamorous for sugar-cane, and keep the
gentlemen Of our party busy cutting the
big sticks into sections. Maybe you
don't know what feast we had on Or

British Victory In Egypt.

LONDON, March 20.-Gen. Graham
3:30p. m.
"We moved out from camp at 6l5 this
morning, leaving the Shropshire regiment to
guard 1t. On reaching the first hill at $50 a.
m. we found the enemy had retired and occu-
pied another hill mile and quarter distant.
After short halt the Berkshire regiment and
marines were ordered to clear the hill, the In
dian contingent and the Guards supporting
This was done very effectually, the enemy be-
ing driven from of the ridge and streaming
south towards ramoi were charged by
squadron of the Indian Lancers In the brush.
The ca valry then retired toward the Guards.
Many Of the enemy passed the Guards at the
foot Of the hill and made for the
hill at Hasheer. These were shelled by
the Royal Horse artillery, and while the
other parties were moving around the right
were engaged in the brush by the Fifth
Lancers. Meanwhile a zareba, with the four
entrenched posts on the hill commanding 1t, is
being formed. The advanced troops have all
returned to this position and will return to our
camp, leaving the East Surrey regiment with
two Krupp guns and four Gardners and water
tanks and signal appliances at the entrenched
position. Our killed are two officers and two
men Of the British and five Sepoys. The
wounded are two officers and twcnty-six men
of the British and one officer and ten men Of
the Indian contingent. The infantry behaved
with great steadiness. The number Of the
rebels is estimated at 1000. The rebel loss is
not known, but it is heavy. The engagement
lasted five hours. The Arabs carried of their
dead and wounded. To-day's fighting was no.
ticeably Of different character from that OF
any preceding engagement. The Arabs main

Garfield is greatly excited over a
wonderful cave which has been discovered in
that vicinity. Mr.. William Isherwood has a
claim at the foot of some converging hills near
that place, and few days sgo recommended
work at the foot Of an incline which was sew
enty feet deep. A heavy blast Of giant powder
was discharged, when instead of turning out
pile of rock and debris as was expected, the
blast seemed to penetrate through into the
very bowels of the mountain and echoes could
be heard reverberating in the rectsses of tho
immense cave which was opened to the view
Of the wonder-stricken workmen. 1t has not
yet been thoroughly explored, but is said to
contain rooms of immense magnitude, winding
galleries, and underground rivers and lakes.
Lying, as 1t does, at. the base of the hills in
which is located some Of the richest mines in
Central Colorado and apparently occupying
place where all the leads of these hills converge,
some believe that immense deposits Of vastly
rich carbonate ores win be found here, such as
the whole history of mining has never .chroni-
cled before.

SALT LAKE, Utah, March 19.-The
Church organ breaks silence tonight for the
first time, on The rumor Of the coming abroga-
tion Of polygamy at the spring conference
1t argues against 1t, but does not absolutely
deny IT, admitting at the same time that por-
tion of the Church fayors the step. 1t closes
a long editorial by saying: "The members OF
the Church who feel and talk favorably for the
abroga tion of these doctrinal points are the
reverse OF strong. They probably belong to a
class who believe in the fullness Of the gospel
as restored through Joseph Smith, and almost
wish they did not, or at lesst that It was not
true. They would like to do the will Of God pro-
viding 1t was strictly in accordance with their
own. They desire to adhere to the Church
because they cannot rid themselves OF the con-
viction that 1t is the power Of God unto saliva
tion, hut they would like Its doctrines and
ways to be more In conformity with those Of
the world that every species Of friction which
causes discomfort and temporal disadvantage
might be avoided. In fact, they are "conser-
vative Mormons." which is another term for
men who, II the church of Christ were man
ipulated by them, would doubtless adopt q
policy of giving up religious rights piecemeal,
until every distinguishing feature between the
saints and the world would disappear, and they
would be loved all over the earth because they
would be swallowed up by the world which
owes its own.
1t would result In another universal apos-
tacy, similar to that which took place shortly
subseq uent to the time Of Christ's earthly mis-
sion. But, coming back to the starting point,
all anticipation and predictions regarding the
reception OF revelations to the church are
necessarily premature. The faithful who seek
to know and do the will Of God will not be
shaken OF their purpose, neither will they
abandon their religious principles In whole or
in part under any kind Of pressure whatever.
They will hold to their integrity In the full ex-
pectation Of sooner or later beholding the sal
| vation Of God.

Moberly.Coleman.

On Tuesday WAS sconsummated mar
riagc, the details OF which are interest
ing, on account OF the unusual circum-
stances that cemcnted bond already
existing. Several years ago. Mr.. John
NJ. Moberly, n mature business man.
and person OF scdate and Inethodical
life. was smittcn by the quiet charms
and modest graces Of Miss Mamie +.
Coleman. then a mere girl with long
curls of beautiful brown hair. Tho
friendship formed ripened into the
deepest devotion, and MIR. Mobcrly
soon occupied tho position Of the
favored suitor Of Miss Coleman. Time
rolled on. and the ardent regard Of
the young people might never have
proved other than Platonic. had not
good fortune visited them by means OF
the Louisiana State Lottery In q
playful mood, they agreed to invest
three dollars in three-fifths Of ticket,
Miss Coleman paying one dollar,
with the expectation OF re-
ceiving one.third OF tho re-
turns. Two weeks later Mr. Moberly
IN whose name the ticket was made,
was startled at his desk at the Mercer
National Bank by the intelligence that
his ticket had drawn $4,000. He i'm
medintely went to New Orleans, secured
the money, and, with high sense Of
honor, sent Miss Coleman her portion,
$4,000. After two months longer OF
waiting, the devoted young people de-
termined to invest In lottery ticket
again; this tino in the lottery OF mntri-
mony, in which we are fully persuaded
they will both draw prizes.
Tho marriage was celebrated Tues
day last Mt 1890, at the residence of
tho brides father, Mr.. X. +. Coleman,
where most sumptuous feast was
served 10 tho few friends invited to
attend. The young couple loft on the
