Iron Ocean Steamers.

The first iron vessel was launched in 1877, and is still in existence. But not till 1893 did the work seriously begin. At that time the Lloyd's began to build small iron steamers for short voyages.
 A certain amount of prejudice had to be overcome, for there were many doubts as to its strength and buoyancy. But it made its way, and the first successful iron steamer made Transatlantic voyage in 1943, the Great Britain, launched bv the Great Western Company. In those days the Great Britain was rated as an unusually large-sized ship. It was of 5000 tons burden, and was an iron screw steamer combining the new methods of propulsion and construction. The voyage was successful, and the ship is still in existence, and, till within few years at least, ran to Australia. Her success led
 to limitations in the English marine: and ln 1850 the 1nman Line was established between Liverpool and New York of iron screw steamers. It had no profit able mail contract, and was purely a commercial undertaking, but under skill ful management has been very success full. In the United States iron ship building has never taken root the way it has in England. Americans began early to build small iron steamers, and do now, but only for coasting lines. We only use iron in cases where we are en- tirely cut off from competition, or where we are driven to it, as 1t IS impossible to use wood for much of the coasting service.

Quick COunterfeitfng.

Italian counterfeiters beat the world in many specialties of their industry. At one of the monthly drawings of the Savona lottery one of the numbers, sold in an un- divided ticket, drew the capital prize of 490, 900 livres. The lucky holder was notified by registered mail, and two days after the drawing, man of the envied name presented the ticket, together with certified vouchers for identification. The bank cashed his claim, minus the usual small discount, and, after thanking all hands with the characteristic enthusiasm of fortune's sudden favorites the new Cresus sauntered away and took the next train, unfortunately, for parts unknown, for, on the following day, another man turned up with the genuine ticket, which only the closest scrutiny could distin- guish from the counterfeit. The execu- tion of that masterpiece, together with the forgery of various documents and off cial signatures, must have been accom- plished in something less than sixty hours. -Cincin'aats Enquirer.

Shakspere'S School.

In 14s2, Thomas Jolyffe, a priest, 6 native of Stratford, and member of the Guild, gave certain lands and tenements to the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross, to maintain priest fit to teach gramma, freely to all scholars.
 There is very little doubt that here, in his boyhood, Shakspere conned his tasks. The antique appearance of the school room is to a great extent gone, for in the laspe of time many of the old, character. istic features have passed away.
 Yet the room still looks hoary and ven- erable, and impressed me deeply. At the invitation of the Head Master, list ened for few minutes to the recitations in Greek of class of stout and sturdy English boys.
 The boys in Shakspere's school when visited it were lively fellows, full of fun, brimming over with spirits, and some what given to skylarking when the mas- ter's back was turned. Poor man! he seemed to have rather a hard time of it.. in his cndeavor to maintain a conversa- tion with me, and at the same time re- strain the exuberant feelings of his pupils. - St. Nicholas.

The Dakota Bad Lands."
THEY OWE THEIR ORIGIN TO THE BURN
 ING OF VAST COAL DEPOSITS.

The Bad Lands" of Dakota are said to owe their origin to the burning of the coal deposits that once existed there. They are. situated principally along the Cheyenne and Grand Rivers and the Little Missouri. They are from two or three miles to, say, twenty-five miles in width. In the long ago the valleys of these streams must have been filled with driftwood. Then followed period of drift, which buried the accumulation of wood under two or three hundred feet of sediment, sand and gravel. That buried wood in time became coal, the veins being in some instances twenty odd feet in depth.
 Either from spontaneous combustion or from electricity, fires were started i'd these veins, and they gradually burnen out, restoring in part the old water courses by means of the overflow from the accumulation of water in these newly formed basins. Looking upon them, here you see patches of slag, there great powders, showing unmistakable evidences of great heat, and on every hand scoria or burned clay, resembling broken brick. Where the fires were checked by the caving earth and the coal did not burn, mounds two or three hundred feet in height stands.
 And according to the best authority in parts of Wyoming the same process is now going on; vast fields are under mined by subterranean fires, and the blackened, smoking plain is filled with dissolution. Trappers say these fires have been in existence for long time, and the traditions of the Indians point to the same conclusion

A foot rule-Don't wear tight shoes.
Something AhoMt Cntnrrh.


 A great many people are afflicted with Ca- tarrh who do not know what ails them; and a great many more continue sufferers who might be cured.
 Thickening of the membrane which lines the nasal passages, thus making breathing difl- cult; a discharge from the nostrils, moro or less copious, watery or thick, according to the stage of the disease a sense of fullness in the head: constant inclination to spit; and, in advanced cases, dropping of intensely dis gusting matter into the throat, are few of the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
 Deafness, infiamed eyes, s,neuralgic paias, sore throat and a loss of sense of smell, are very often caused by Catarrh.
 All these u oubles are cured by Plso's Rome- dy for Catarrh, Relief is had immediately nfter beginning its usc, but it is important that 1t be continued without intormission until tho catarrhal virus Is expelled from tho system and healthy secretions replace tho diseased action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to expect cure in a short time of Q disease that has been progressing for months or years
 This question of timo is provided for in the putting up of Pisos Remedy for Catarrh. It is so concentrated that very small dose is directed. The quantity in one package is sui nclent TOT a long treatmont, consequently the expense is amere trifie, and there is no excuse for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness. A cold in the head is relieved by an applca- cation of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. Tho comfort to be got from 1t in this way is worth many times the cost
 The following letters are specimens of those received every day, testifying to the worth of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh:
 ALLEGHENY, Pa Sept, 28, 1885. Piso's Remedy for Catarrh is doing wonders for me- 1 believe it will cure any case of Ca tarrh, if used according to directions.

A Field of Corn on a Hot Day.

A grand sight is a field of corn on a hot day. remember being on train in Southern Illinois which, on account of Instructions on the line, had to lie upon siding for several hours. Noth- ing but corn was in sight over the great level plain. wandered among the i'm mense stalks, some at least fourteen feet high; heavy dew had fallen during the night, and the hot morning sun was now we'll up in the heavens. Crack after crack resounded like pistol shots. It was the corn bursting its coverings. I imagined could actually see it grow I know I felt it do so.

A King with an Appetfte.

Victor Emmanuel, among his other peculiarities, was tremendous eater, and preferred to take his meals in the strictest privacy and with the most entire freedom from restraint. Often, when he was only King of Piedmont, he would have all the dishes put on the table at once, and then send away all the ser wants. At such times, writes a Rome correspondent of the Providence Journal, he would eat with his elbows on the ta- ble, upsetting the salt on the cloth, that he might the more easily dip into it the little raw onions which he was so fond of, and which he used to nibble all through the dinner.
 The quantity that he could eat was amazing. On one of his hunting trips he and his companions stopped at the house of a countryman for the night. At SUD- per they had veal outlets. After the meal was over the king turned to the officer next him and asked him how many he supposed he the King had eaten. As his plate was bare, for he had been throw ing the bones to his dog, the officer, who had been watching the disappearance of the outlets with awe, thought that he might venture on bit of politeness, and replied 1.-Two or three" The King re- peated the question to the others in turn, and they all, out of respect, similarly un- derestimated his exploits, until he came to Savoyard, who had no regard for any thing but the truth, and replied prompt ly, "Your Majesty has eaten nine." The King laughingly admitted that he was right.
 It was about the same time that anoth- CT characteristic incident occurred. The King and one of his friends, Signor J., had taken shelter for the night in the hut of a countryman, who had not the re- motest idea of the identity of his illustri- ous guest. The King noticed that Sig nor J., who was sitting near the fire next the host, kept turning away his head. ''What is the matter with you2" asked the King, in French, which, by the way, he spoke like Parisian. 'I can't stand the smell of this man," said J., 'she smells like a wild beast" ''Bah!D said the King, "any of us would smell like that if we went for week without wash ing" "Oh, never" "Yes we would, I'll try it myself" So the King went to work conscientiously and never washed himself the least little bit in the world. At the end of five days J. came up to him and touching him respectfully on the elbow said: "Your Majesty has won your bet; and not at the end of week, but of five days" The king shouted with laughter, and was highly delighted with the whole adventure.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Remember this: However small you consider your possessions, there is some one who envies you them.
 Let us begin our heaven on earth, and being ourselves tempted, let us be pitiful and considerate and generous in judging others.
 There is no luck, but there is such a thing as hard work and the knowing how to make 1t answer for what others call "luck."
 The only talent that man under all cir cumstances has succeeded in handing down to his son is the ability to judge prime whisky.
 Look not mournfully into the past-it comes not back again; wisely improve the present-it is thine; go forth to meet the future without fear and with manly heart.
 When the man listening to his con- science wills and does the right, irrespec- tive of inclination as of consequence, then is the man free, the universe open before him. He is born from above.
 We pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that we can do, or any kindness we can show to any human being, let us do it now. Let us not defer or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again.
 Such are the vicissitudcs of the world, through all its parts, that day and night, labor and rest, hurry and re- tirement, endear each other. Such are the changes that keep the mind in action {; we desire, we pursue, we obtain, we are satisfied; we desire something else, and begin new pursuit.
