It's stockholders are it's workmep, it's clerks, it's managers. Each is qualified by entering some one of the branches of the business at the bottom and working for reg alar wages until, after mastering the details, he is promoted, and, when his services are found valuable, he is allotted a certain number of shares. These shares are inaIienable, and at the death of the helder they are sold to the highest bidder among the stockholders for the benefit of the widow and children.

Being be- liever in natural remedies, went to the Highland Springs for the mineral water, and used it with splendid results. The use of the water put me in excellent condition, and prize it very highly for its remedial qualities. Many others. to my knowl- edge, in past years, have used the water for var ious complaints with like benefit I had man named Davi Beecher at work for at the same time who afflicted with ugly on his ankle which finally spread the entire foot. He tried the best skill to be found with good results procured the spring water for him, anu he drank it and bathed his foot with it. The foot became en- tirely healed, and has remained since.

Dr. Bryce, the superintendent of ths Ala
 bama hospital for the insane, has been inves- tigating the question whether insanity is in- creasing among the negroes since their euan- eipatien, and concludes that there can be no doubt on this point. The whole number of insane negroes in the United States, by the census of 1850, was only 638 and in 1860 but 766. The returns for 1870 showed one | insane negro to every 3, 695, and in 1880 the | ratio had increased to one in every 1,096. At l this rate by 1890 the proportion would reach | one in every 800, or the same as among the | whites.
 Some light is thrown on the question of | lovely woman's capacity to administer public affairs by an occurrence in Madison county, | New York. The supervisors of the county l recently authorized the town treasurers to pay bounty of ten cents head for wood- ! chucks, the tails to be accepted as vouchers | After the redemption of these vouchers had 1 been going on briskly for some weeks one of | the treasurers had to be away few days and | left the treasury in charge of his wife. The | boys of the neighborhood saw their opportu- nity, and brought no less than fourteen hun dred tails to the treasurer in three days and got ten cents apiece for them. Whom the male treasurer got home he took look at the tails and found that they were all chipmunks' | tails.
 1 The mierophone is now being used in Ger
 many for the purpose of detecting loss of wa 1 ter through leakage in town mains. The ap- 1 paratus consists of steel rod, which IS placed upon the cock in the neighborhood of which the leak is suspected, and micro
 phone attached to the upper end ot the rod.
 A dry battery and telephone complete the I equipment. No sound is heard in the tele- phone if the cocks are closed and no leak oo- CUTS; but leak of even a few drops causes
 sufficient vibration in the pipe to affect the microphone and give audible sounds in the 1 telephone. At the recent meeting or gas
 and water engineers in Eisenach it was stated
 that the apparatus is so simple to handle I that with little practice ordinary workmen are able to detect and localize any leak.
