machinery is out for a holiday. At War

works leaked into the river, and the resi-

II is stated that there are more ducks
in China than in all the world outside of
it. They are kept on every farm, on the
private roads, and on all the lakes, rivers
and smaller streams. There are many
boats on each of which as many as 1000
are kept. Their eggs constitute one of
the most important articles of food They
are Matched in establishments fitted up
for that purpose. Some of them turn
out as many as so 200 young ducks every
year. Sailed and smoked ducks are
sold i'll all the towns, and many Of them
are exported to the countries where
Cinnamon reside.
Great excitement prevails in North
Rose, n Y. a man named Mccarthy,
aged thirty, induced a girl named Daven-
port, only twelve years of age, to go to
an adjoining farmhouse and marry him.

every year for their fur is enormous At
the last fair of Irbit, which is market
for only part of the furs exported from
Siberia, no less than 3, $50 200 furs OF
squirrels were offered for sale. OF
these ,OlS 900 were killed in the for
ests of YeneSeisk, 400 900 i'll the
Altai mountains, 200 900 in Yakutsk and
300 goo in Transbaikalia. A consider
able number of the furs of squirrels
killed in the last two provinces are eX-
ported directly both to China and TO
Russia without passing through Irbit. 1t
is worthy of note that this year there was
Il considerable decrease i'll the furs of the
black squirrel. Only half q million of
these furs were brought to the fair, as
against more than million in 1887. OF
other furs there were II 200 blue fox,

New York will want more water soon.
A syndicate of capitalists offer to supply |
so 900 900 gallons daily to the lower por-
ton of the city at q cost not to exceed S75 |
per 900 600 gallons, and to have the |
system i'll operation i'll five years. The |
scheme is gigantic i'll its proportions. 1t |
includes Brooklyn, Jersey City, Eliza
beth, Newark, Paterson and several |
small New Jersey towns. The idea is to |
take the headwaters of the Passaic and |
its tributaries, pump into reservoirs in
the Orange mountains and distribute
from there to the various cities and
towns, carrying under the Hud-
son by tunnel. The water shed of |
the Passaic is nearly three times the size
of the CrotOn, and the distance from the
city is much less. The reservoir sites are
300 feet above tide water, which is con-
siderably higher than the Central Park
reservoir. The syndicate claims capac-
ity of 500 900 600 gallons daily for the
Passaic water shed and great superiority
for the water. 1t has secured also nearly
Or quite all the riparian and water rights
