GIGANTIC FLOWER" What would you

through the wood and coming upon a
flower that offered a fair jump for your
horse-in other words, was three or four
feet across and ten or twelve feet in circum-
ference? Well, this was the experience of
an acquaintance in Sumatra, where some of
the most remarkable creations of the floral
world are to be found. This flower was
about all there was to the plant; root,
stem and everything seeming to have been
sacrificed to make up the enormous flower,

How to 0ueu aIobs,

Fitz John Porter, in the October number
of the North American RericD, in view OF
recent strikes or riots, discusses the ques-
ton how mobs should be suppressed. he
says:
Mobs are towards at first Crime
always enervates. They only gain
courage as they find that those whose
duty it is to suppress them are them
selves towards. A mob is not to be
feared when it is first aroused. 1t is only
as its passion for carnage is whetted by the
taste for blood, or its greed for pillage is
gratihed that it becomes dangerous
Upon whomsoever devolves the duty OF
suppression, let this be his first effort
Check at the very beginning; allow nc
tumultuous gatherings; permit no delay
few stern, resolute words: if these be MOI
needed, then strike resolutely, boldly let
there be no hesitation if necessary, take
life at the outset. 1t will be more mercitul
to take one life than to suffer the mob to
take the lives of many.
Before the time shall come when it will
be necessary to use musket ball or bayonet,
the opportunity will be afforded to suppress
the riot; perhaps at the sacrifice of few
broken heads, or by the imprisonment OF
some of its leaders
In every large city, in fact every city
where police force is employed, per
feet drill should prepare policemen to meet
the exigencies arising from any tumultuous
assemblage of the people, SO that, at mo-
ments warning, these conservators of the
peace will be ready TO act, and to act I'M
derstandingly and promptly. 1t will be
found that a few determined policemen
placed in the field at moments notice,
will prove one of the best and most direct
methods of quelling a mob.
In the draft riot of 1863. after the mob
had full possession of the city of New York
for several days and the United States
troops had been called in with little or no
effect, and the State militia had failed, the
police of the city, by their bold, brave and
interchangeable action, quelled the riot and
prevented any further disorder. 1t was q
remarkable instance of what can be done
by q drilled organization"

than the one nearest her. But it must

Why MARRIAGES ARE FEwER.-Since the
advent of women into the circles of bust
ness where only men were to be found,
there has been complaint of decline in
the marriage rate. The philosophers have
not decided whether the two facts are coin
cidences. or stand to each other in the rela-
ton of cause and effect; but a lady clerk -
in the Treasury Department at Washing
ton throws a great light upon the discus
SION She says that when a girl is kept at
home, surrounded by girls, and hears of
the greatness of the masculine part of the
genus homo, only meeting him at picnics
and in the parlor, she conceives a rather
exalted idea of what he really is. But
when she comes out and meets men as they
really are, away from the gaslight's uncer-
tain glitter, her idol is rudely shattered.
They know the sex better than they did,
| and so the right man is harder to find.
This is important testimony. 1t bears di-
rectly on two or three social questions of
the day which pertain TO the elevation of
women. her emancipation" her rights,
and her duies.-[Providenc Journal.

A WORK OF PREHISTORIC BRAzILIANs.
The remarkable Brazilian hill of Pacoval
has been fully described for the first time
by Ladislaus Netto in publication of the
Natural Museum of Rio Janeiro. This
hill, entirely built by some ancient race of
men, stands on the margin of a lake in the
island of Maraio, and, although reduced
by erosion and weathering to fifth OF a
sixth of its original size, is still about 900
feet long, 800 wide and 20 high. In its
outlines-those of gigantic jabuti turtle
it shows analogies with the works of the
mound builders in the Mississippi BASIN
Its varied contents include stone imple-
ments of all kinds, idols, amulets, and a
vast quantity of earthenware, funeral urns,
vases, etc. Many of these are covered with
remarkably delicately painted or engraved
designs, some of them appearing to be
hieroglyphic signs, and having certain re-
semblances to the early Chinese, Egyptian
and Mexican writings. One inscription
seems to tell of long migrations-probabiy
from the Andes highlands down the Am
AEON valley

A GREAT PERUVIAN MINE.-Once a shep-
herd, caught out upon the hills by night,
built fire under the lee of pile of stones
that he had tossed together. The heat split
some of the stones, and in the morning the
man saw within one of the cracks piece
OF shining silver ore. That happened in
Peru and thus were discovered the mines
of the Cerro de Pasco, which have yielded
$400, 900 900. Henry Meiggs had his eyes
on these mines, and he made q contract
with the Peruvian Government to build q
railroad 125 miles long. from the sea-
port of Callao to the mines. He
was to receive s27 100000, but his
death cut short the, enterprise
Nevertheless, the heavy part of the work
was done by him and now an American
syndicate. of which Mayor Grace, of New
York, is at the head, has been formed to
finish the railroad and to work the mines
Michael Grace, who recently went TO Lima,
has obtained the necessary concession from
the Peruvian Government. Though the
mines have been worked since the days of
the shepherd. it is thought that the veins
of silver have barely been scratched, and
that scientific mining with modern ma
chinery will bring forth great quantities of
the precious metal.

RAILROAD BALLAST or SALr.-There is
vast ballast of rock salt in the Colorado
desert, near Idaho, and the Southern Pa-
cific Railroad in laying the track to the
salt mine, have been obliged to grade the
road for 200 feet with blocks of beautiful
Jumps of salt crystals. This is the first
instance of a railroad roadbed being laid
and ballasted with salt, of which we have
any knowledge. The sea that once rolled
over this place dried up ard left a vast bed
of salt about fifty miles in length. The

OF within our little cottage,
As the shadows gently fall.
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall.
Do we gather close together,
And in hushed, and tender tones
ASK each others fun forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.

1t will hold welcome true;
Opening wide its door of greeting
To the many, not the few.

With the needy day by day,
For our hearts do well remember
This was ever mothers way.

Or our tasks seem very long.
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right ali wrong,
We will gain anew fresh courage,
As we rise to proudly say
= Let Us do our duty brayely-
This was our dear mothers way
Thus we keep her memory precious,
While We never cease to pray:
That at last, when lcngthening shadows
Mark the evening of our day.

TIRE EARRING Our OF DATE.-Women
are beginning to abolish the earring as one
OF their personal adornments, although it
will take a long time to wholly Danish this
tayorite but baIbarous ornament. The
recent esthetic movement in dress which
introduced, among its absurdities, some
truly sensible ideas has much to do in edu-
eating women to better standard of taste
regarding personal adornments. The most
exclusively fashionable women do not now
wear earrings in the daytime, and only
those with jewels or rare stones in the
evening. Finally, they may be discarded
altogether, and the money spent for dia-
monds in this direction will be invested in
brooches, pendants or bracelets. Already
some of the famous actresses and leaders
in the fashion make point of not wearing
earrings. They say a pretty ear is dis
figured by them, and that more attention
is attracted to homely ones with these at
tached ornaments. There are several
women in Newport worth their millions,
who own superb diamonds, but not one set
in earrings, and they consider them dis
figuring, barbarous fashion.

Our PITCHER PLANTs.-The North Amer
lean pitcher plants, states W. Watson, OF
Kew. number only seven species. There
are six species of Sarracenia, all character
lied by the same trumpet-shaped leaves
growing in tufts, and in several species
attaining a length of q yard; and the
seventh kind of pitcher plant is the Oar.
lingtonia Californics, the top of which is
curved over, forming a sort of hood, and
having rather small aperture at each
side. While the .Sarracenias allure and
finally destroy insects in their pitchers
botanists do not yet know whether the en-
trapped insects furnish nourishment to the
plants. although il has been proven tina,
animal food is not essential to the plants
existence.

TIE TAILED MAN OF PARAGUAY.-If the
Ensayo RedicO, of Caracas. journal I'M
earthed by the Lancet, may be believed, the
seeming impossibility of tailed man need
no longer prove stumbling block to the
faith of would-be evolutionists. In the
last issue to hand of this print the follow
ing paragraph occurs There has Just been
an interesting discovery in Paraguay of a
tribe of Indians furnished with tails. One
day O number of workmen belonging to
Tacura Tayu were engaged in cutting grass,
when their mules were attacked bv Quay
acuga Indians and some of them killed.
The workInen pursued them, and succeeded
in capturing a little boy years old. He
was taken to Senior Francisco Golrochee at

had tail ten inches long The boy saws
that he has brother who has tail as long
as his own, and that all the tribe have tails y
There are clearly no half measures about
these tails, and il boys of have them ten
inches long there is so saying what may be
the length OF the tail of a full-grown man.

oo-,po.ing-Room Statistics of the Census


The tables prepared for the last United
States census respecting printing, although
both curious and valuable, have received
only little attention from the newspapers of
the day. Part Of this, no doubt, arose from
The fact that the volume was published
during the heat OF the last political CAM
paign, when all other subjects were
dwarted, but a part comes from the fact
that the results were not clear to many
writers, who had not been bred to the art
and were not in the habit OF Analysing
statistics. One of the tables which have
been least noticed is that showing the num-
Der OF pounds OF type used upon the news

tity of type regularly set. New York has
,2l274 pounds of type, or enough to fill
cases tor $1,000 compositors, her pro-
portion being one-fifth of the Union,
which has $3.50 S7S pounds. Five
States, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio and Iowa, have nearly one half Of all
the type and set one half Of the number OF
ems. pound of type sets IS ems; and
assuming that the average size is BREWER,
there are for each thousand set about 200
ems left in the cases. The largest average
set on dailieS was in Louisiana, 40 900 ems.
and the smallest in New Mexico % 900
ems, the average being 74,l57 The aver
age on weeklies was 81, 1877, the largest being
in the District of Columbia, 90 coo, while
in Wyoming it was the smallest, $1,000.
OF the long settled States, Alabama had the
smallest, $4,000. The total amount of type
set for one issue would make 2.785 duode-
elmo volumes, and that done on the dailies
in year would fill 10000 volumes to match
