The EucaIyptus for Il ilers.

In their official report to Rear Ad-
miral Gnerardi. commandant of the
navy yard, board of naval engineers
stated they considered the use OF the
eucalyptus boiler scale preventive of
great advantage in iessening the deposit
@ scale and in rendering what is de-
posted soft and easily removable, pre-
venting as 1t does the scale from adher-
ing to the surface OF the boilers. The
test had been employed in the steam
ing boilers of the Richmond for over q
year, and the interior surfaces had been
kept free from scale without the of
scaling tools. L being only necessary to
wash the boilers out with a strong Jet Of
Hater from the steam hose. In dIstill-
ing boilers the deposit Of scale was also
!essened. Tie interior surfaces OF the
boilers, these officers reported, show no
sign Of pItJing or corrosI0n.

The Kind Czarina.
From the Lohdon pailv News.


During her stay at Gmunden, the
Czarina had an opportunity to do some
Thu z towards repairing an arbitrary
and unjust act committed by the late
Gen. Drenteln. When governor OF
kieif, he ordered a wealthy manufact-
urer named ll"ltzky, native of Rou-
melIa, to leave Russian territory within
lwentv-four hours, and all appeals, in
Guiding a petition to the Gar, only re-
suited u llnItZky being arrested in St.
Petersburg Tor several months, and
then brought penniess and homeless

learning the arrival at Gmunden ofthe
Empress o Russia, presented himself,
in evening dress, ami with lar-e port
folio of documents under his arm. IN
the Uaiting-room of the station, where,
suspected of being Nihili-t, he was
detained and carefully searched.

truth of his story having been ascer-

the Empress to band him iOur hundi ed

he had been the victim of crying in

Aduiterating French Mines.
From ,he london Times.


Since the great reduction III the
amount of wines produced in the Bor
deaux and Burgundy districts, the in
fenor wines of the central departments
OF France are being substituted 70
them, and chemistry is called in to In
crease their market value. "Plsster-
ing" consists in adding sulphate of
lime after the first fermentation, or
while the wine is in the vat; it is also
mixed with the grape-must. The gem
erai rule Is To give 90 grammes OF the
plaster To the hectolitre of wine, but
more usually 1t is thrown in without
weighing. The advantages of the sui
rhste OF lime are said TO be increased
fermentation and a brighter and more
permanent color in The wines, which
viii also keep much longer. TIE obiec
tons are that the hemical changes
render the wine Injurious to health, for
1t is said that the bitartrate of potash
contained in wine in its normal state,
when brought in contact with the
plaster" forms an acid sulphate of
potash, and there is preclpitated an in
soluble bitartrate of lime, varying ac-
cOrding to the degree OF alcohol. The
quantity of sulphate of pot
ash IN the wine is increased from
Il C ~ zen iOlu DN the dtllOn
OF the plaster" Moreover. in wine
treated IN this way, sulphuric acid is
found IN rec state, as well as sui Dhate
OF magnesia. The effects of the pra tice
on the health of the consumers of the
wine so treated We're discussed in the
Academy o Medicine. aud one of the
members, VI. Marty, has made report
on the subject. As lar back as 1851 the
doctors IN the department of Ayeyron
found that persons drinking ''plastered"
wines had an unquenchabe thirst
tcephalalgy) and an lnsupportable dry
ness of the throat; but different
authorities gave different estimates OF
the effect on health of the consumption
of tbese wines. Hygiene committees
reported they were harmless; chemists
said they were injurious to health, but
NJ. Marty appears TO settle the question
rom HYGIENE point of view. Ii is an
lncontestable tac}, he says, that ''plas-
tered" wines occasion functional
troubles and organic injuries; they act
as purgatives and caustics in certain
cases; but 1t appears that moderate
"piasterlng' is necessary to the utiliZa-
ton, preservation and transportation of
certain OF the poorer grades of wine,
and III such cases it is recommended
that the proportion of acid sulphate
should not exceed two grammes per
ltre. As a general conclusion the
Academy IS OF the unanimous opinion
that "plastering" wine is custom
detr mental TO uealth, and adyi,es that
the laws against ii be vigorously en-
tpYaal

i MAN at Wabasha, Mimi. has OBJ
tanned from Indignant citizens of the
place a severe whipping and a coat Of
tar and feathers, and from the press. of
the country a great deal of notoriety,
after which he disappeared, all because
he assaulted a merchant who asked
him to pay a bill. Now that the IN
dignant community has thus forcibIy
placed itself on record on the subject,
ofthe right of a merchant to respect
tul treatment when asking payment for
his goods, the important question as to
the payment of the bill arises. In the
general Indignation this phase of the
matter seems TO have been entirely
overlooked, and the thought arises
thas mayhap, in that wild, northwest

ment may have been considered a very
unimportantaud homeopathic feature,
of the question at issue. This indicates.
lively emotions, but very uncommer-
Cial training.

But the army Of persons carried by
the excursion barges is nothing in num-
bers TO the myriads who use the routes
OF steamers to get to the seaside. The
season at Coney Island extends over
fifteen weeks. The average number
WHO visit the island daily during the
season is $1,000, according to the state
ment of one of the oldest hotel keep
ers along the beach. The average
price OF an excursion ticket is 45 cents,
thus giving daily t tai 10 the trans
portauOn hines Of $4,000. A person, no
matter how poor, who succeeds in 90
ing TO the island alone or in a party
and conulveS 10 spend less than 70
cents per capita is worthy of the dis
tInctlon Of being the wonder and enig-
MA OF his age. At this low avera the
receipts of the landlords and thousand
and one penny-grabbers of the beach
wOuld be about S24, O0J. This gives a
grand total OF S3S.0UO a day. or S. 090,-
coo Tor the season, during ordinary
weather. The warmer the temperature
Is the higher the daily average.
The other resorts reached by Teersan
Hues Of steamers number about "A
dozen, but the principal OF these are
Rockaway and the beautl III Glen Island,
The daily average of the former is
about $4,000; that of the latter 5000.
The other resorts have in the neighbor-
hood OIL $50 persons visit them daily.
At per capita expenditure of 81 ~,
apportiQned to Coney Island, this
would give total expenditure Of 81

which are gwen by transportation
agents, 155. 600 persons daily leave the
shores of New York in search of cool
breezes and find them at cost of Sl67,-

\ Royal Heir Apparent's Escapade



BavarlaDs have generally some scan
dial or sensation to talk about, thanks
to the eccentrlcity and folly of their
princes. This time it is Prince Rupert,
of Rupprecht, the grandson of the pres
ent regent, whose name is in every
ones mouth at Munich. The young
prince, who is moi yet out OF bis teens,
has been for some time, it seems, en-
gagged in acquiring the reputation Of a
Don Juan, and his last escapade has re-
quilted in his beng compelled to reveal
his idertlty to the French police IN a
tfth-rate hotel in the Quarter Latin
Paris, where he had come utterly to the
end of his available resources. He had
been mysteriously missing for some
weeks from Munich, and it has come
ont that his companion on his Paris
trip was the pretty young wife of
tradesman Of the Bayarian capital, to
whom the Prince had made various I'M
possible promises. Possibly Prince
Rupert may not be acquainted with the
full details of the career of another
Prince who used to pay mysterious Wis
its to Paris. II he be ignorant Of
Prince "Citron's" premature and tragic
end, his parents and friends cannot
make him co2nizant Of il too soon.

The Mystery of the Com.



It wOulH be curious to know what
mystic meaning our 1orefathers at
tached to so simple an act as that Of
com bling the hair. Yet We learn from
old church history that the hair Of the
priest or bishop was thus combed Cever-
81 times during divine service by one Of
the inferior clergy. The comb IS men
toned as one of the essentials FOR
use during a high mass when
sung By bishop, and both in
English and foreign catheirals tn V
were reckonrd among the costly posses
sions Of the Church. Some were made
Of ivory, some were carved, others
gemmed with precious stones. Among
the combs specially known TO history
are those Of II. Neot. st. Dunstan and
Malachias. That of II. Thomas. the
martyr Of Canterbury, is still TO be seen
in the Church OF 81. Sepulchre, AT Thet-
ford, and that Of st. CGthbert at Dur
ham Cathedral.

II hardly seems possible, but is
vouched for on good authority, that any
one driving few miles in a certain
section Of Pennsylvania during haying

women driving two-horse mowers, and
seventeen others managing horse rakes.

improbable is that sensible young men,

the horse rakes to the nearest minis
