Thirty Millions a Year.

There is hardly a trade in the world
that has grown 80 RAPIDLY during the past
few years as the cloak trade" said a
manufacturer TO reporter "A few
years ago it was a trade almost entirely
unknown on this side OF the Atlantic.
In this country alone now there are
hundreds Of houses devoted to its inter-
est"
"Can you give me any figures as to its
progress2"
According to returns made at the last
census we find that the amount Of bust
ness transacted in the matter Of women 3
clothing footed up nearly $50, 900, 900,
and it is likely that the greater part Of
this was for outer garments. About two
thirds of this. or $40, 900. is credited
to New York, to Philadelphia, $2.500.-
900, Boston, $1,000. 900; Chicago,
l.500,0 900; Cincinnati and San Fran
cisco about 81. 900, 900 each. According
to the same returns the amount Of capi-
tai employed was about 81, 800, 900, now
it must be about $4,000. 900. New

School Hygiene in Australia.

1t is an interesting fact, especially in
view of certain comparisons nearer home
that it suggests, that in Australia the
subject of school hygiene has received
special attention for some years in the
state or public schools. The teachers are
particularly instructed to be careful
about the spread of infectious diseases.
and the public health law is sufficiently
stringent to secure the exclusion Of
scholars and teachers from houses in
which communicable diseases exist.
In the state schools of Victoria, now
for number of years, a system Of OBJ
ject lessons has been given, with view
to imparting elementary instruction bear
ing upon the health of the people; these
lessons generally include such subjects as
food. clothing, ventilation, cleanliness
and the prevention of infectious diseases
They have also been given at stated
times lessons for the treatment of snake
bite, for the resuscitation of the drowned
and for the first aid to the injured. The
department of education requires also
some elementary knowledge on the part
OF teachers upon the subjects of santa
ton and physiology. York Trib-

Electrical Detective Camera.

The relation Of electricity to crime,
which began with the invention Of bur-
glar alarm devices. has been extended
in the shape of an electrical detective
camera, invented by two Newark men.
Their idea is to have the device fixed in
the walls of banking houses behind the
tellers, and so arranged as to photograph
whoever stands at the teller's window, in
case the mans picture is wanted. The
little baton that does the work of open
ing the camera shutter, making the ex-
posture. dropping the plate and putting in
a new plate, will be under the teller s
desk, so that he can, without betraying
himself. instantly take the picture of any
one who excites his suspicion. This same
camera can be put up in police stations
in the same way, and as the prisoners
are brought in they can be photographed
without knowing it and having a chance
to distort their features when sitting for
the Rogues Gallery. = New York Sun.

On a recent cruise of the United States
man of war Michigan a sailor. who is a
Chicago man, attempted to throw an ex-
hausted quid of tobacco over the rail into
the water His aim was bad, and the
ouid fell on the deck. An officer OBJ
served it. He would not GLOW the sailor
TO touch it, but ordered the entire crew
to rig up gun tackle. The gun tackle
is hawser three and half inches thick
and weighs $500 pounds. Being seldom
if ever used. it was slowed away in the
hold and covered up. To get it on deck
and rig it up is a long, hard task. But
the gun tackle was rugged up, and the
commanding officer attached to it a silk
thread. lassoed the quid of tobacco, made
it fast, all hands gave long pull and a
strong pull, and the guild of tobacco was
hoisted overheard. Then the gun tackle
was taken down and slowed away in the

The Second Hand Book Trade,

One of the many peculiarites of the
second hand book trade is that the sales
are heavier on days of stormy weather
The business men find slow sales on in
clement days, and those of literary

subject, will drop into a second hand
book store and while away several hours
in looking over the stock. remember

eral volumes of books on line he was
collecting, and sold him SOS worth be-
