looked complacently on a pair of finely
roasted chickens that were smoking on
the dinner-table: "why, my son, there

"Twol" replied young smartness;
"there are three. sir, and I'll prove it"
"Ihree!" replied the old gentleman,

THE SUPPLY of QUISINE.-It is a curl,
GUS fact that while 5be annual supply of
quinine for the whole world is about 6,
100000 ounces, the consumption of
this drug in the United States is more
than 300, GOO ounces, or nearly one
half the entire product. The price Of
quinine has been SO low for the last three
or four years that large plantations of
the cinchona tree have been up rooted in
Ceylen, and the tea plant is substituted.
Ceylcu produces a very large ra:t of all the
bark that is marketed, aud the exports
from that island declined more than one
third between 1885 aud IS87.-Ameri-

One of the most interesting features
of modern progress is tue Influence on
modes Of warfare exercised by scientific
discoveries. The bicycle has been until
lied in Germany for mounting troops,
and now we hear of an electric sword.
It will be seen at once that the lstter is
an essentially shocking weapon.
Strangely enough, it was Invented in
Shanghai. The warrior using such
sword has battery-c0ncealed at his
waist. Insulated wires run from the
battery to the sword. When the point
of the weapon touches an adversary the
latter is paraIyzed. The wielder of the
sword can be said to have an electric
charge.

me AmIr's WINE farry

1t is a general idea that the nations OF the
east are singularly temperate as compared
with those of the west This is not exactly
so, as many travellers well know. A native
historian thus describes little wine party
that was given by great eastern emperor
of the Sixteenth century.
"The amir said to Abd-u-Razzak: Shall
we drink little wineP Accordingly, much
wine was brought into the garden and fifty
goblets placed in the middle of small tent
The amir said: Let us drink fair measure
and fill the cups evenly, in order that there
may be no unfairness.' They began to get

senses at the seventh, when the servants car
ried him of. Bu-ala, the physician, dropped
his head at the fifth cup and was carried off.
khalil Daud drank ten; Suja Biruz nine, and
both were borne away. Bu-Nain drank
twelve and ran off; when the khwaja had
drunk twelve cups he made his obeisance and
said to the amir: If you give your slave any
more he will lose his respect to your majesty
as well as his own wits The amir laughed,
and went on drinking. He drank twenty
seven goblets; he then arose and called for a
basin of water and his praying carpet,
washed his face and recited the midday
prayers well the afternoon Ones and he
SO acquitted himself that YOU would not

DfsposinG Of Human Bottles.

DR.. George Hay, chemist, advances a
plan for the disposition of the dead bodies of
human beings. he advocates an economic
distribution Of the remains SO that they may
return to the elements as soon as possible, if
for no other purpose than to furnish a fertil-
izer. DIR. Hay would bulverize the body
with the aid of machinery. He says: 'The
machines might be SO contrfved as to break
the bones first in pieces of the size of a hens
egg. next into fragments of the size of a
marble, and the mangled and acerated mass
could next be reduced by means of chopping
machines and steam power to Iuince meat
At this stage, we have a Homogeneous mix
ture OF the entire body structures in the form
of pulpous mass of raw flesh AID bones.
''This mass shall now be dried thoroughly
by means of steam heatata temperature of
$50 dogs. Fahrenheit, or a pressure of thirty
pounds to the inch; because, firstly; we wish
to reduce the material to a condition con-
venient for handling, and, secondly, we
wish to disinfect it, as 10 infectious or con
tagious disease can retain its vitality at this
temperature Once in this condition it would
command good price for the purpose OF
manure Another method is by boiling in
close vsssels The oil, which would rise to
the top, my be drawn off to be converted
into soap or a lubricant The residue may
by various simple processes be converted
