fed Success.
An audience Of vast proportions assem-
bled at the Capitol Rink last night to wit
ness the grand carnival and tournament.
II was success from the beginning Of the
grand march to the break up and was 9
grand and imposing sight. Just think Of
two or three hundred skaters. all elegantly
and deliberately attired in costumes from
Puck up to Shakespeare. And TO
the beautiful music Of the band they
glided gaily and gracefully around the
arena, pretty girls and handsome men in

Of the rink deserve great praise for their
Efforts to afford the public amusements Of
this kind, and they are certainly reaping
the benefits Of their enterprise. Amore ex-

given but space prevents.

THE SILVER KING.

This play was sEain presented at the
0pra House, last night, large audience
being present. To characterize the drama
as "frstelass" or the company "a good one"
entirely fails to adequately cover the ground
in either case. The Silver KING pos
sesses merit of a high order, and
in several scenes the acting is dramatic in
the extreme, and the dialogue thrilling and
effective The company is one of the best
ever brought to this city, several Of them be-
ing metropolitan favorites, and these two
facts, added 20 the excellence and beauty Of
the scenery and the completeness of even
the smallest details renders the play one Of
the moet enjoyable witnessed here for long
time. 1t will be repeated at the afternoon
matinee, and also this evening, and those
Sho have not Witnessed it should not fail to
do so to-day. Tickets are on sale at BAu-

Edible Earth.

Many travellers have attcstcd. and it
may be verified in many colonies, says
the Science Monthly, that certain clayey
carths have been long used as food
Clay is composed af silica alumina and
water, colored by metallic oxides. Some
samples of edible earth are composed, as
tripoli is, of innumerablc microscopic
and tossili2ed shells of fresh water infu-
soria. How men came to have recourse
to such ailment may be without evi.
dence; but similar circumstances have
led to like results in countries remote
from each other. The Otomacs, a PEG.
pie of Southern America, take regularly
q pound or more per day of rich clay
which appcases hunger without injury.
Among the Indians on the borders Of
the Amazon clay forms part of their
food. even when other ailments abound.
Edible earth is found in Bolivia, and
one kind, which has given an agreeable
odor, is much esteemed by the Peruvi.
ans. The negroes of Jamaica have re-
course to it when other food fails: or
the other hand, the negroes of Guinea
transported to America, seek for an earth
like what they are accustomed to, and, in
its absence they consume the white pipe.
clay, to the injury of their health. In
the kingdom of Siam the women and
children are earth eaters; in Java (says
Labillardiere) they make q sort of cake
of ferruginous cay, which is eaten to
produce leanness. 1t is an object of
commerce in Anam and Tonquin. The
usage is widespread, existing in Guiana,
New Caledonia. Siberia, Terra del Fuego,
and among some descendants Of the old
navigators in Portugal. The Indians of
the Dutch colonies of Java and Sumatra
make peculiar preparation with edible
earth, reducing it to paste with water,
spreading it into thin plates, moisels of
which are gr,lled in a pan over a char
coal fire. These little slips, rolled up,
are like dried bark, Of warm gray or
ruddy color. They also make roughly
modelled figures like our gingerbread
men and sweetmeats. NJ Hekmeyer
showed at Amsterdam. in 1863 specimen.
of edible earth in its natural state and
prepared also few little figures,
limitations of fruits and fancy objects.
The flavor of these delicacies is empire
umatic, and the mild. slightly aromatic
sensation which follows the first taste
arises from the earth itself, to which no
condiment is added. The earthly origin
of the custom of making various alimen-
tary substances into human shapes is
obscure.

SELECT SIFTINGS.

1t appears that climate is regarded as
having SO much effect upon hearin that
English physicians sometimes seek to les
sen the deafness of patients by sending
them to the dry parts of New Zealand.
Among the remarkable stories which
Georgia has put forth recently is one to
the effect that jet black kitten turned
perfectly gray in few months from
grief occasionrd by having become sep
arated from number Of children.
The ancient Chinese legend relating to
ne origin of the tea plant tells us that
the first teabush sprang up from the spot
where Confucius had thrown his eye-lids,
which he had cut off in anger because
sleep had overtaken him when he had
vowed to keep awake.
The Prince of Wales eats clans direct
from the shell, which he holds in his
hand. The great Napoleon was passion
ately fond of shrimps. Charles Dickens,
when lecturing in Brooklyn, drank bot
tie of brandy and two bottles of cham
payne during the course of single even
ing.
The obliging OF all the inhabitants O.:
England to put out their fires and lights
at certain hours, upon the sounding OF
bell called the curfew, has been repre-
sented as mark of the servitude o.
English people, but this was law O.!
police which William the Conqueror had
previously established in Normandy.
The island of Britain was known to
the ancients several centuries before the
Christian era, and was visited by the
Phpnician and Carthaginian traders
who obtained from the natives several
commodities, such as skins lead and tin.
Tin was used with copper in forming
bronze, an article in extensive use among
the ancient oriental nations.
One writer describes the japanese bow
thus: "Seated on the mat in the ordinary
way, the hands are brought forward to .
natural distance in front Of the knee,
and placed with the palms upon the
floor, and with space between the hands
of about one foot. Then with an cas-.
rocking motion the body is carried for
ward until the face almost touches the
floor, when, after slight pause, the
head is again slowly lifted to its natural
position" Great care should be taken
not to raise the hips when carrying the
body forward.

Whence comes this epidemic of suicides and
murdersl Recent discussions have named
several causes. Hon c. II. Reeve, of Indiana
charges it to infidel teachings-holding that
hopelessness Of a future state cripples forti-
tude for bearing life's ills. Another declares
suffering from the universal business depres-
sion the cause. A third writer attributes it
to increasing insanity, physician thinks
much Of the tendency is inherited, while tenn
perance advocates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free thinkers have committed suicide, but
SO have orthodox churchmen Financial
straits have besct many, but the wealthy
have also taken their life
In anity and dissipation have preceded
suicides and family murders
One feature common to almost every such
crime challenges attention. Well nigh every
I report OF suicide and family murder mentions
the perpetra oor as having "for somo time
been subject to melancholy Whence comes
thisi ALI recognized medical authorities tell
us that the fire which consumes the brain is
always kindled by arrangements of digestion;
that good digestion is impossible without
pure blood, and pure blood is never known
when the liver and kidneys are out OF order.
Under such circumstances, a preventive
should be sought and for this Warmers safe
cure is sovereign-a fact conceded by the best
authorities in the land. and it is especially
commended by the celebrated Dr. Dio Lewis
