The Dead sea is AN old and decrepit
salt lake in very advanced stage OF
evaporation. It lies several feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, lust a.
the Caspian lies several feet below the
level of the BLACK sea; and as in both
cases the surface must once have been
continuous il is clear that the water oil
either sheet must have dried up to
very considerable extent. But while
the Caspian has shrunk only to eighty
Ave feet below the Black sea the Dead
sea has shrunk to tho enormous depth
of 1, v: feet below the Mediterranean.
very now and then some enterpris-
ing De Lesseps or other proposes TO dig
q canal from the Mediterranean to the
lead sea, and SO re-establish the old
high level. The effect OF this very rayo-
lutionary proceeding weuld be TO food

Gladstone Mt Dinner.
London letter.

Mr.. Gladstone, the late premier of
England, is a ready and eager talkcr at
a well-tilled dinner table. While he is
holding forth, the attentive butler fills
in succession the numerous glasses at
his right hand. When in the course of
dinner he feels inclined to drink, he
takes the glass nearest to his hand and
sips, regardless OF its particular con.
tents. Embarking once more in con.
yersation, and again returning to the
wine glasses, he will take up another
any, one that looks full and is at all
handy-and thus he proceeds through
the dinner, mixing his liquors in a
way that would be dangerous to an or
binary man, and is horrifying to the
well-regulated mind. But Mr.. Glad.
stone is never penny the worse or the
better for his refreshment. In the
glasses were filled with plain water of
different hues, no would sip them with

lAt"hiNah W. ~ NCf. New YORK sun.
Postum are pretty lean yet, but they
are fattening rapidly, and in month
the darkies will begin hunting for them.
Just above here, across the New York
state line, is the gap between the
Hayerstraw and the Ramapo mountains.
through which the Irie railway enters
the kamapo valley. There are lots OF
them in the mountains, and in the
idge woods, to tho southwest, they
also abound. On tho rugged sides OF

woods wherever they can pick up jobs,
and, as it costs them little or nothing to
live, they get along comfortably.
ON moonlight nights when the possum
arc fat the darkies are in the woods
hunting the animals, whose meat is sweet
to them. The 'possums run up the
trees, climb out on the limbs, twist
their tails around them and hang head
downward. They sleep that way when
they are in trim. i heir winter quar-
tiers are holes in the rocks or hollow
trees. They roll themselves up into
balls and live on their own tissues un
Til warm weather comes again. The
natives around here say that they eat
vegetables, fruit, crickets, and, when
they can find unsuspecting ones roost
ing low, chickens. The presence in the
woods of poSSum removes suspicion
from the darkies when the population
OF a hcnroost hereabouts is decreased.
Some of the darkies have dogs to hun,
the possum with, and guns with which
to shoot them. Others have not, ana
they are obliged to depend entirely On
traps Figure 4 deadfalls are used q
good deal. A big fiat stone is secured
1t is held up in slanting position by
sticks arranged like tie figure 4, an
baited with an apple. When q 'possun
nibbles the apple the arrangement 0.

the animal. The POSTUM is pinned to

Turning Of an Artificial Eye,
tChiclgo Times |

The turning of an artificial eye in the
head is not due to any improved mech
anism about the she'll, but simply to
the modern method of operating on the
genuine eye, In the old times it was
thought necessary to cut out the in ured
eye entirely, but now the smallest posi-.
bic portion is removed, and on the
stump, which continues to move with
the muscles, the artificial organ is fitted,
and moves with the action instead of
remaining fixed. The eyes themselves
have been little improved since their in
yention.

THE HAWAIIAN MISSION TO EUROPE.

The Philadelphia Ledger's" Wash
ington special of Jan. 9th, referring
to the Hawaiian Minister'S mission to
Europe, from which he recently re-
turned, says: With the approval of
President Cleveland, Minister Carter
went to Europe to induce Germany
and Spain to withdraw their Caroline
Island claims and to permit insular
independence throughout the entire
archipelago. Before Carriers arrival
in Europe, however, the dispute be-
tween Germany and Spain had been
settled and Prince Bismarck said it
was too late to consider the Hawaiian
proposition. Had it been earlier re-
ceived Bismarck said that Germany
would have assented to it. Minister
Carter returned to England and
sought the good Offices Of the British
Government to secure a surrender by
both Germany and Spain of their
claims to the Pacific islands, and
proposition was formally submitted to
both OF these governments, with the
approval OF England, France and the
United States. The negotiations were
defeated, however, by the death of
King Alfonso and the formation of n
new Cabinet under the present re-

DAMAGING the TREATY.

The advertiser, without any symp-
toms of shame, gives the intelligence
that its own charges of discrimina-
ton against American bottoms, by
some of our merchants, which this
paper showed to be unfounded, have
been seized upon to damage the
Treaty by its enemies in Congress.
However, our contemporary is not
likely to have the vandal gratiiica-
ton of seeing its weapon against
political opponents doing the damage
it might in other hands to the inter-
ests of this kingdom. There are so
far no very alarming developments
in the situation at Washington, not
withstanding the Misrepresentation
of the Honolulu merchants that have
gone forward from the office of q
professedly patriotic local paper.
