An interesting calculation has been
lately made by Professor Rogers, of
Washington. He tells us that the dy-
manic power OF single pound of good
steam coal is equivalent to the work of
man for one day; three tons of the same
coal will represent mans labor for
twenty years; and one square mile of a
seam of coal having depth of four feet
only will represent as much work as l.
coo, 600 men can perform in twenty years.
Such calculations as these may serve to
remind Us how very wasteful our meth
DDS of burning fuel must be, in spite of
all that has been done by engineers In
the wav of econony.-C Journal.

AN ODDsW AFTER SYsrEM.-Calcutta, in
its central parts, is supplied with water
from many miles up the Hooghly. 1t is
settled and filtered in large reservoirs,
aud seems, as it is pronounced to be fair
ly pure water. Very careful people boil
it; but the majority of the foreigners use
it freely as it comes from the hydrants.
1t is carried into upper floors in goat
skins. It looks queer to see coolies
sprinkling the streets from skins slung
over their shoulders. 1t is thus done
throughout the esplanade. In the busi-
ness street coolies sprinkle from large
movable hose; in outer parts from carts
which are filled with water by women
carriers.-Carter Harrison il Chicago
Mail.

DocrrNrsrs OF H1sroR,o.n INTEREST.

DOCUMENTS OF HIsToRICAL INTEREST.
The archives of the government are
kept in the library of the department of
state, and constitute vast collection of
precious documents. There are great
many of historical interest. The first
draft of the Z -tlaration of Independence
and Of the feueral constitution are here
preserved. Washington's commission as
commander in-chief of the American
army, and host of documents pertain
ing to the revolution and the early days
of the government are to be seen. The
letters and papers of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Madison and Monroe and some OF
the other presidents are preserved IN
large volumes, many of the manuscripts
appearing as Clean and distinct as If
written yesterday. Autograph letters
from kings aud queens, princes, states
men aud historical personages who have
f0urished during the past 100 years are
TO be found in these collections. Here
are the original copies of all laws enact
ed by congress, and of all the treaties
made by the United States with foreign
nations, from the first, with France,
1778, and the second, with Eugland--the
treaty OF peace, bearing The date Of Sept.
3, I7S3-down to those of recent years.
One treaty with Turkey is goigeously
embeliished with golden letters, bat the
unique treaty in tue collection is one with
Japan, which is contained in a costly
lacquered case covered with silk. The
quaint Japanese characters. covering
many pages of fine paper, are clearly and
boldly portrayed. The royal signature
appears at the top, and you read from the
bottom. The treaty was brought to
Washington by two officers of high rank,
who were charged with its safe delivery
on peril of their lives. One day they
triumphantly marched into the depart
ment of state bearing aloft on bamboo
poles aqueerly constructed box, in which
was the important document. Glad in
deed were they to have escaped the dis
astrous chances of land ard sea, and
when the royal agreement finally passed
into the hands of the secretary of state
they appeared greatly relieved, for their
heads were 10 longer in danger. Wash

The Dog Cure in the South.

A Mississippi practitioner who was
called to attend a gentleman who was
suffering from obstinate hiccough says:
| knew that he had large dog, SO l
took my mastiff along with NE. The
house consisted of one room, entered
by single door.
The house was crowded with ladies,
who had assembled partly out of SYM
pathy, partly from curiosity and part
ly from gossip. My patient was on a
low bed when I entered with my dog.
No sooner did my patients dog see
mine than be sprang for him, and a
tremendous fight ensued. The noise
of the dogs, the screaming of the ladies
aud the general confusion was indie
scribable.
When it was over the sick man was
missing, but was finally found under
the bed, and never had another spell
of hiccoughs as long as he lived.

The large amount of inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and
alum powders will be noted. This in the
phosphate powders is largely OF lime; In
the alum powders it is chiefly alum. 1t
will be gratifying to the public to observe
that the powder in most general use, the
Royal, is also the purest. In comparing
the first two powders on the list, for in
stance-the Royal and DR.. Prce's-the
inert matter in Prices is seen to be about
five in seven more than in the former, a
difference of II 81 per cent, the Royal
being purer than Prices by correspond
ing figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas produc-
ed by the powders indicates their
strength; and their true value may be as
certained by considering the amount OF
this gas in connection with their inert
matter or residuum as shown above.
The niger the percentage of gas and the
lower the percentage of residuum the
better the baking powder. These per-
centages, as found in some of the most
familiar nOU0ers are given as follows:

study of these figures will readily give
consumers a knowledge of the COMPARE
tive value of the different brands. TO
illustrate with the percentages given the
two powders before compared: the Royal
containing 11.8 parts of leavening gas to
10.5 in Prices, its excess of strength Is 1.3
in 1O.5, or 1874 per cent. Royal is there
fore 1874 per cent. stronger, as well as II
per cent. purer than Prices, etc. The rel

A number of people, some angry, some
roaring with laughter, were following an

was so energetic in her resistance, and
he so determined, that his turban and

nothing, but walked along firmly; she did
all the gesticulating, struggling and pro-

of escape, she chung, and he could not,

MONROE FOR CLEVELAND.
The Present Tariff Declared a Monster
of IniduitY.


Forsyth, GA, April 22.-The Democrats
of Monroe county met i'll the court house
yesterday morning persuant to previous
call.
The meeting was called to order at IL
o'clock by o. II. B. Bloodworth, and its OBJ
ject stated to be to elect delegates to the
Atlanta convention. These were chosen,
and among the resolutions adopted were the
following: 1--WE hold that the present pro
tective tariff is a monster of iniqulty,
equally immoral and unjust, and more
| cowardly and mean than highway rob-
berry,
We hold that the high tariff has ruined
| our foreign commerce, driven our merchant
marine from the high seas, and lowered the
prices Of our domestic products by forcing
them to pay more than equal rates OF ocean
| trelghts to foreign ship owners.
We emphatically and unequivocally en-
dorse the administration of President Cleve-
land for his wise craftsmanship, for his en-
larged patriotism for courage and vigilance
IN guarding the public treasury from the
hands of jobbers and plunderers, and for his
persistence in conducting the affairs of gov
ernment on strict business principles.
The position taken by Senator Colquit on
the Presidents message meets our sincere
appreciation, and we are willing to make
that speech and message the basis OF our
| national platform.
Resolved, That the delegates this day
chosen to represent the county of Monroe,
in the State Convention to be held in At
lanta on Wednesday, May 0, be and they
are hereby, instructed to vote for no man
as delegate to the St Louis Convention
who is not Cleveland Democrat" In
thorough and absolute accord with the
views of the President, as set out in the
message above referred to, and who will
not use his utmost endeavor to get such
principles incorporated into the national
Democratic nlatform

A NEWBERRY MYSTERY.
Strange Disturbances Drive a Family
From Their Home.
From the Metcberry Is. c. Observer.

From the NeUberry Is. c. Observer.
There has been quite a sensation on Ridge
road for some time at the residence Of Mr..
P. L. Wise. have investigated the matter
and the information have received is as
follows; On Thursday evening, March 30,
Mr.. Wise heard a noise coming from the
northwest similar to the noise that precedes
an earthquake. Just after the noise ceased
the building began to rock. The shock was
50 severe that it threw down portion of
the chimney and stove-piping and shook
pots off the stove; in fact everything was
shaken up pretty generally. After the
shock was over Mr.. Wise went down to his
father-in-laws, Mr. H. Baird, distant not
more than 100 yards. to see what damage
was done there. To his surprise Mr.. Baird
knew nothing of it.
On the night following Mr.. Wise and
family were absent from home About
dusk Mr.. Baird heard noise in the diree-
ton of Mr. Wises house and would have
gone up to see what it was if his wife had
not become 50 much frightened.
On Sabbath evening following Mrs.
Abram Long, neighbor, had come over to
visit Mrs. Wise. About supper time, with
out moments warning, something began
popping about over the floor with noise
similar to firecrackers, and a scent like sui
phur or burnt powder was noticed. They
all became so much frightened that they
went over to Mr. Longs and spent the night.
On Monday morning Mr.. Wise returned
home, at which time he made preparations
to move, and before he could get away the
same thing commenced its devilment again.
We know Mr.. Wise not TO be a very excita-
BILE man, but he says this was too much for
him, and he vacated the house at once.

At Pensacola Friday morning about 80
o'clock, burglar crawled through the back
window Of Sam Waugh's laundry, on Tar
ragona street, into the Chinaman's bed
room. The first intimation Sam had of the
intruder's presence was given by blow on
the head from a slung shot, he lying in bed
asleep at the time. He rose and grappled
with his assailant and drew pistol. The
weapon was held by both himself and the
burglar, and was discharged without doing
any harm. The burglar made q break for
the window, after getting away from Sam,
and just as he was going through, Sam
fired and missed him. the ball going through
the uplifted sash. Sam sustained several
Commissions Of the face and head, but was
not robbed. The burglar has not since been
heard from. His slung shot, consisting Of
piece Of lead tied to a piece of cotton
string, was found after the melee.
