Tho Boring Of a Princess Ears.

A singular point of current history
has just been brought to light in Eng
land which shows that the late Burmese
war may be referred to the wearing of a
pair of earrings. The boring Of the ears
of a royal princess in Burmah is re-
garded as an event of as much i'm
portance as her coming of age would be
were she the heir to the English throne.
It is the occasion when she first assumes
the rank and state due to her.
King Theebaw, it is stated, when the
time approached for this ceremony in
the case of his eldest daughter, con-
ceived the idea of inviting all the
crowned heads of Europe to witness it,
and was eager to entertain them with
becoming magnificence. Hence he
made an enormous demand for duty
payments in advance on the Bombay
Burmah Trading company, an English
corporation. The company refused to
submit to this extortion, and the result
is matter of history. Youths Com
panion.

Granite Slab of Enormous Size.

To separate from the main ledge slab
of granite 354 feet long, to 4 feet thick
and II feet wide, is no ordinary feat to
accomplish. But this has been done ut
the Flynt Granite quarry, in Monson,
Mass, and by the means usual in quarries
for separating slabs or blocks from the
main ledge. A row Of wedges We're set,
several hundred in number, and the
workmen beginning at one end gently
and carefully tapped the wedges, moving
by degrees down the line, until the other
end of them was reached, when the same
operation was repeated.
In this manner, by careful and patient
application, aided by favorable condi-
tions of the weather, the slab of the above
phenomenal size was successfully sepa-
rated from the main rock. The value Of
this immense slab, if it could have been
transferred safely to one Of our large
cities, at not too great cost, would have
been several thousand dollars. and 1t
seemed almost sacrilegious that it was
necessary to cut it up into smaller blocks
for transportation and finally used for
ordinary building purposes.-Scientltlo

I'm and Down on Wall Street.

A speculator in four years has paFt
one firm IN Wall street the sum of $751;
900 in commissions. He was a wealthy
man when he went into the street with
a laudable but unwarrantable desire to
increase his patrimony by specializing
in stocks. Now, SO heavy have been his
losses that he would be satisfied If he
possessed the sum he has paid out in
commissions. As it is, he will cheer
fully accept a clerkship in the said firm,
who wish to avail themselves of his
numerous acquaintances to increase
their custom. If he had been contented
with handsome sufficiency for the day,
amounting really to superabundance,
he would now be in affluence instead OF
in the position of comparative destitu-
ton he is.
On the other hand, young clerk a
few years ago commenced to speculate
in the street with 5000, the savings of q
years abstinence from smoking, and
now is worth in real estate over 81 ,OO0,-
900 and several more in securities. In
Wall street spec~l:t;on, more than in
anything else, w''..t is game for one man
is ruin for anoJher.-New York Letter.

Where Everything Smells Of Feathers

Where Everything Smells Of Feathers
The great occupation of the people of
st. Kilda island is catching sea fowl.
From March to November the island is
covered with sea-fowl, and catching
these birds is the staple industry. Multi
tudes of solan geese cover the rocks;
there are myriads Of gulls, northern
divers, stormy petrels, black solemn cor
morants and simple guillemets, and, in
deed, almost every kind Of sea-bird. The
difficult work of climbing about the
rocks catching the birds is engaged in by
both men and women. Enormous num-
bers of fowls are sent off evory year.
Then a great deal is made out of feathers.
Referring to this subject, DR.. MacCul'
loch, in his account of the island, says;
The air is full of feathered animals, the
sea is covered with them, the houses are
ornamented by them, and the inhabitants
look as if they had all been tarred and
feathered, for their hair is full Of feathers
and their clothes are covered with
feathers. The women look like feathered
Mercuries, for their shoes are made OF
gannet's skin. Everything smells OF
feathers.-Pall Mall Gazette.

German Students Reduced to Straits.


M. A. Martha, who contributes a
paper on the German pauper students to
The Revue Scientifque, states that the
number is largely on the increase and is
causing much uneasiness to the uni
versity authorities, Professor Billroth in
particular having frequently drawn pub
lie attention to the danger with which
this large influx of starving students
menaces the universities and society.
AS examples Of the straits to which
these hapless h,mgerers after knowledge
are reduced, n. Martha quotes from a
Berlin paper the application made some
time ago to the municipality by 2 uni
versity student who asked to be; en-
ployeFas anight-sweeper, apost which,
however modest, would not interfere
With the prosecution of his studies. In
the Gallician and Hungarian universal
ties poor students sell matches, in the
streets, or, if they have a musical gift,
eke out an existence by singing or play
ing in the cafes and brasseries. Many
of them for want Of books and leisure
to study, never manage to pass the ex-
animation, and settle down at 80 to the
very humblest occupations, while not q
few take to evil courses and swell the
army of criminals.-Chicago Times.

Visitors at Niagara Falls.

Since Niagara falls and vicinity were
taken charge of by the state of New
York the number of visitors has greatly
increased. The freedom from extor-
tionate hackmen and hotel-keepers en-
chances the pleasure of the tourist, and
the wonderful cataract. with its rocks
bridges, whirlpools, and caves, can now
he seen by the visitors without danger of
highway robbery.
An attendant told me that the number
of people who find death at Niagara is
increasing yearly. Last summer and
fall fifteen people went over the falls.
Of these over half are thought to have
been suicides. The falls are constantly
changing their form. The immense
volume of water breaks off huge
powders from the ledge and pushes back
the falls just so much. The symmetry
Of the Horseshoe fall has been spoiled in
this way.-Cor. Chicago News.

Tho Appearance Of Library.

Let the durability and neatness OF your
bindings be the primary requisite: Orna-
,aent judiciously and sparingly rather
sllan carelessly or gaudily. The bibhog-
rapher, DR.. Dibdin, says on this point:
The general appearance of ones library
is by no means a matter of mere foppery
!: Indifference; it is a sort of cardinal
,,int to which the tasteful collector does
veil to attend. You have a right to con-
.,;der books as to their outsides with the
we of painter; because this does not
initiate against the proper use of tho
,Untents."
To bind a book well it should have
lmple time to dry after each process; it
thus becomes thoroughly and evenly
seasoned.
1t is false economy to bind up num-
her of volumes together, especially If
5iley are of different sizes, and upon diff
ierent subjects.
Keep your books dry, but not too
warm, and do not use newly bound books
near the fire.
Never pull books out of the shelves by
he head bands, or suffer them to stand
ong upon the fore-edge.
Books are not intended for card-racks
,r for receptacles of botanical specimens,
but should be treated gently; for books
are kind friends; we benefit by their ad-
vice, and they exact no confidences.-A.

The Sham Epilepsy OF Beggars.

Sham epilepsy is matter of careful
training among professional beggars and
criminals. It is common enough among
soldiers and prisoners. Stimulation IS
practiced with various objects, such as
escape from duty, avoidance Of labor, to
secure comfortable quarters in hospitals
and charitable institutions, to engage the
attention of crowd while confeder-
ate picks pockets aaA abstracts jewelry,
and to attract sympathy, and with it,
alms-that is, it can not deceive an acute
observer. The "frothing at the mouth"
and general convrlsions are easily imi-
tated by one who has noticed a genuine
case, but the paleness of the upper part
of the face, the absolute Inconsistencies
to painful impressions and the widening
of the pupils Of the eyes can not be
slammed.
The sham epileptic is careful not to
bite his tongue, and to fall where he will
not injure himself severely. He takes
occasion to have fit when he is being
observed by some one. A dash of cold
water when he is not expecting it, the
application Of a harmless, but painful,
current of electricity, or the English
police method of forcing the thumb nail
under that OF the imitator, will generally
show that consciousness is not abolished.
The violent commissions are usually simu.
lated; it would take an artist of a high
order of ability to sham the appearance
of epileptic vertigo. Besides, this would
not impress the bystanders like con-
yulsions.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

sponish yiceroys of Irish Blood.

When Spain held despotic sway over
South America, from Panama to Cape
Horn, some of her ablest viceroys and
bravcst and most brilliant soldiers were
of Irish blood, the men or their descend
ants who, after the disastrous Crom-
wcllian and Williamite war0, disdaineu
to take service under the conquerors,
and went in thousands to swell the
armies of Spain.-Chicago Herald.

Tho King OF surman In 1880.

A German itraFe}ar, DR.. ". ,Joegt, IN
1880, when On aasgur through RdErnoh,
had an audience with Theebaw. Dr..
Joest related at the time his experiences
in the columns of The Kolnische lei
tung, from which is taken the following
account of the personal appearance OF.
the king: 4Quel joli garcon!" were the
first words I whispered to my interpreter
not for translation Of course-and in
deed Theebaw was handsome youth.
According to the custom of the country
his hair was arranged in a big knot on
the top of his head, surrounded by a
marrow band of white muslin; his round
face, which was almost white, made a
very pleasant impressions; his eyes are
small and slightly almond-shaped, and
with his full lips and small mustache he
makes the impression of an indolent,
blase, perhaps rather sensual young
man. Cruelty is stamped on his features,
but not intemperance. -
Afterward, when through an opening
in his Jacket saw his bare chest, I per-
celyed ny the bronze cOlor OF Ills pouy
that his face was very much painted
and powdered. He wore close-ftting
Jacket of white satin, with long tight
sleeves, two rows of diamond bottoms,
and his insignia, also in diamonds. I'M
his ears and on his hands I perceived
the glitter of precious stones. A,silken
putho, in green and yellow stripes, COM
pleted, completed his apparel; his feet
and legs were bare. Now and then he
played with yak hair fan without
however, altering his position at all.
He neither smoked nor chewed. to-
bacco, and I must repeat that he inn
pressed me sympatheticaily; he is some
what stout for his age, being 81 years
old, but otherwise he is the best-looking
Burmese have seen.-Chicago Trib-

Extent OF the Cigarette business.

A wonderful amount of money is in
vested in the cigarette business in this
country. Apart from the great cost of
machinery, factories, material and labor,
the advertising expenses of such estab-
ishments are astonishing. One small
house, which has been in existence only
few years, spends over 100000 an
nuany in advertising. That house alone
sells 1,OOO,O cigarettes day. So much
for spending 100000 year in advertis-
ine,-Cor. Globc-Democrat.
