BIG THINGS.
Some OF the Greatest and Most Remarks

bic Things on Earth.
The greatest wall in the world is the
Chinese wall, built by the first Emperor
Of the Tsin dynasty, about 220 B. e. a
a protection against the Tartars. Il
traverses the northern boundary q
China, and is carried over the highest
hills, through the deepest valleys,
across rivers and every other natural
obstacle. Its length is one thousand
two hundred and fifty miles.
Among the most remarkable natural
echoes is that of Eagles Nest on the
banks of Killarney, in Ireland, which
repeats bugle call until it seems to be
sounded from a hundred instruments,
and that of the banks of the Naha, be.
tween Bingen and Coblentzs which re.
peats a sound seventeen times.
The most remarkable artificial echo
known is that of the Castle of Simon.
eta, about two miles from Milan. II
is occasioned by the existence of two
| parallel walls of considerable length.
1t repeats the report of a pistol sixty
times. @
The most remarkable whirlpool is
the maelstrom Of the northwest coast
of Norway and southwest Of Mosken@-
sol, the most southerly of the Lofoden
Isles. TWAS once supposed to be I'M
fathomable, but the depth has been
shown not to exceed wenty fathoms.
The greatest cataract in the world il
that of Niagara. The Horseshoe fall
on the Canadian side, has a perpendic
ular descent of one hundred and fifty.
eight feet. The height of the Ameri
can fall is one hundred and sixty
seven feet. The Horseshoe fall, which
carries larger volume of water thar
the American fall is about six hundred
yards wide and extends from the Cana,
dian shore to Goat Island.
The biggest diamond in the world, il
indeed it be a diamond, is. the Bre-
ganza, which forms a. part of the Portu.
guese crown jewels. 1t weighs one
thousand eight hundred and sixty car.
ats. However, not a little doubt exists
Of its being diamond, as the Govern.
ment has never allowed it to be tested
1t was found in Brazil in 1741. q
The largest tested but uncut dia.
mond is the Nathan, belonging to the
Raiah of Nathan, in Borneo. It is OF
pure water, weighs three hundred and
fsixty-seyen carats, and sof pear shape
indented at the thick end. It was found
about.1760 at Landark, in Borneo. Ii
has been the cause of sanguinarJ

then weighed seven hundred and

TIE WASTE IN DRINK.
A Paper Read Before the Chicago PrOIii'
bitiOn Union.

A Paper Read Before the Chicago PROFIT.
bitiOn Union.
The Chicago Prohibition Union, at
its weekly meeting at the fremont
House last night, listened to paper by
Prof Mathews on ''The Economic
Aspects of the Waste in Liquor Drinks.
Prof Mathews said the consumption of
distilled spirits in 1884 amounted to 49,
600, 600 gallons. At the rate of 81
galloon the consumer paid for distilled
spirits $557, 500, 900 q year, which was
equal to $40 head for men, women
and children. To this sum must be-
added S316, 200, 900 paid for beer at the
rate of S18 per barrel. The amount
paid for boots, shoes and cotton goods
was 1920, 900, 000-that is, $64, 100000
less than that paid for liquor. The
expenditure for drinks in 1884 was
equal to the earnings of 9, 100000 oper-
atives working at wages of $3.50
year on an average, and to the product
of 1,750, 600 farmers, putting their av-
erage product at $481 year. The
drink waste was equal to the comfort

1t exceeded the total amount of munic-
ipal, State and Government taxes. The
speaker did not think that teaching
people on the subject of temperance
would have much effect, but something
might be done by teaching the ele-
ments of political economy in schools.
Properly presented, such a study
would lead to sentiment of indiyid-
ual economy, and in the course of time
an intelligent public opinion might be
formed that would produce the desired
result. In reply to a question. Mr..
Mathews said the proportion of the
various callings was about eight agri-
eulturalists to four persons engaged in
manufacture. two in transportation,
and two in professional aud personal.
services. The agricultural population
did not drink much. Many railroad
companies were a very powerful factor
in prohibition by requiring the pledge
of their employees either expressly or
implicitly. So the greater part of the
enormous amount paid for liquor came
from the laboring classes. = Chicago

To persons having fairly robust constl-

cold weather, our long New England winters
present excellent Opportunities for skating,
which is rightly considered prince among
outdoor amusements, combining sport with
exercise in such proportions as to afford
health and pleasure at the same time. An
agile skater on a good long stretch Of smooth
ice can outstrip the fastest horse and make

PosTAGE-STAMP PHOTOGRAPHS.

The "postage'etamp photograph" is tho

the peculiar merit OF these little pictures is
that they have the property OF transforming
rather plain woman Into "thing OF beauty"
on a mici oscopic scale, they are much sought
after by the gentler sex. Fostage-stamp photo.
graphs arc most unconscionable natterers.
They not only give delicacy and refinement
to coarse and homely features, but they en-.
nance the beauty Of y pretty face as well. AS
the name signifles these little examples OF the
photographers art are the exact size aud
shape OF an ordinary letter postage-stam amp.
Their edges are perforated, they have much
age on their reverse side and around the ng-
ure or head Is an ornamental border.
The idea is said to have originated in Eng.
land, where the suggestion was had from the
head of the Queen on the ha'penny STAN ps In
use there. Like all English frivollties, the
little pictures soon found their way to this
