Some Startling Stntistics
for. the Benefit OF Total
Abstafners.

A report on the inquiry into the con-

perance, prepared by DR.. Isambard
Owen, Secretary of the Investigation
Committee of the British Medical AS

for temperance people. Particulars

lowest average duration of life that of
the teetota er, and the highest that of
the moderate drinker, his average being
nearly eleven years longer. The habit

longer than the total abstainer.

Hardening Wood.

"The recently invented process" says
Iron, tby which wood is made to take
on some of the special characteristics of
metal has been turned to practical &C.
couat in Germany. By this process the
surface becomes so hard and smooth as
to be susceptible Of g high polish, and
may be trea; ed with burnisher of either
glass or porcelain, the appearance OF the
wood being then in every respect that of
polished metal, having, in fact, the SEM
blance of polished mirror, but with
this peculiar and advantageous differ
ence, namely, that, unlike metal, it is un-
affected by mo sture. 10 reach this re-
suit the wood ia steeped in a bath of
caustic alkali for two or three days to-
gether, according to its degree OF per-
meabiiity, at temperate of between
l., and ~ degrees Fahrenheit. II is
then placed in a second bath of hydro
sulphate of calcium to which a concen-
trated solution of sulphur is added. after
some twenty-four or thirty.six hours.
The third bath is one of acetate of lead,
at a temperature Of from ~ to 120 de-
grecs ahrenheit, and in this latter the
wood is allowed to remain from thirt! to
fifty hours. After being sub; ;ected to a
thorough drying it is IN condition for
beinp poll he'd with lead, TIN o" zinc, as
may he desired. finishing the process

Chinamen MatrimOnially Inclined.

Ever since pretty Mrs. Sim Quong
On's arrival in China town some weeks
ago, says Wong Chin Foo, the Chinese
Philosopher in the New York Sun, and
the subsequent fame aud general popu-
larity of her fortunate husband among
his own associates, the well-to.do New
York Cinnamon have been on the war
path for pretty wives. The bachelor
shopkeepers, with their tens of thou.
sands, and the a:lluent fan-tan players
have been sending Eomeward their spare
cash to bring over their wives. A few
days ago Mr.. Nong Hi Chong, of 10
Bowery, brought over his small footed
eighteen. year-old wife to grace his here
tofore lonely hearth, and for whom he
gave great dinner that afternoon with
the usual exchange of presents, and the
"koto," or bow, before the assembled
guests by the newly arrived woman.
And now the old Chinese millionaire
Yuet, of Chatham square, has sent home
q check of several thousand dollars to
bring his better half over to America to
spend their remaining days in New
York. 1t is only question of time
when all the Chinese merchants will
have regular Chinese families in this
city,

Bivouac OF the Unknown Dead.

One of the most touching features Of
the Arlington Cemetery, at Washington,
perhaps the most touching is the monu-
nent to the "UnknowD Dead" 1t is
only few steps from the site selected
for Sheridan's tomb, and around it lie
over two thousand soldiers who were
unidentified and who were only sun
known dead" 1t is sad and startling
fact that of the more than quarter of
million dead who sleep in the national
cemeteries of the country almost one half
are unknown" There are eighty-two
national cemeteries scattered through
the country. In these rest 334, 900 dead
soldiers. Of these 334, 600 graves, l4S,-
900 bear the sad words unknown"
This is especially true of those in the ex
treme Southern States. In Mississippi,
for instance, there are buried over 25,-
0O0, and of this number less than 5000
are identified. Another curious fact:
Did it ever occur to you that men who
gave their lives to prevent certain States
from seeding now sleep in the soil of
those States2 Anyway, it is a fact.
There are in Virginia II national ceme-
teries, which contain almost y, 600 dead,
of whom over one-half are unknown. Of
the 81 national cemeteries of the country
three -fourths are in the States which
were in sympathy with the Confederacy,
and of the 324, QUO dead who lie in
national cemeteries about 300, 600 lie in
Southern soil.--MilUaukee Sentinel.

Eccentric Russian Cars,

Paul, the mad Russian Car, had ror-
bidden round hats, which he regarded
as sign of liberalism, says Prince
Czartoryki's memoirs. If poor man,
with an old, round hat on his head,
showed himself in the crowd which
witnessed the parade, an aide-de camp
Immediately pursued the culprit, who
fed to avoid being bastinadoed at tine
first guardhouse. The chase was often
continued in the streets, to the great
amusement of the people, who hoped
the unhappy man would succeed in max
ing his escape. Lord VIII tworth, the
British ambassador, was obliged to have
hat of peculiar shape made for him, so
as to be able to walk about in the morn.
Ing without contravening the Emperor's
orders. Paul drove through the town
daily in a sledge or an open carriage, ac-
companied by one of his aides-de-c camp.
When he met carriage it stopped, the
coachman and footman had to take off
their caps, and the persons in the
carriage had to alight and make
a profound bow to the Emperor,
who observed whether it was
sufficiently respectful Sometimes wo-
men with their children trembling with
fright, were seen descending into the
snow in hard frost, or into the mud
during thaw, to accomplish this salu-
tation. Paul always thought that people
wished to slight him as they did when
he was Grand Duke; he liked every
where to meet with marks of fear and
submission. When people went out into
the streets in carriages or on foot, all
took care to avoid meeting. their Impc-
rial master; they fled at his approach
and went down a side street or hid under
a gateway. Another dangerous person
to meet was the terrible Archaroff, Grand
Master of Police, who also drove
through the town to see that
everything was being done according
to his orders. He prohibited rapid
driving in sledges, which is one of the
greatest pleasures of Russian; and
when he perceived a sledge which
seemed to go at forbidden pace he
ordered it to be seized, had the coach
man fogged, and then appropriated both
sledge and coachman to his ewn use for
any period he pleased, while the &C.
cupant of the sledge had to walk home.
This once happened to my brother. He
had driven out in sledge and met the
Emperor, upon which he at once jumped
to the ground. AS he passed, Paul cried
out to him: "You might have broken
your neck" On his return NJ. Archaroff
sent by the Emperor's orders for my
brothers horses and his sledge and used
them for a week, after which he re-
turned them.

A Skfpper Speaks About the Tides.

Ina little French cabaret on Fourth
avenue there were assembled few days
ago, says New York Telegram reporter,
a sea captain, a professor of physics in
one of the city colleges and a young
man who had spent most of his mature
years in travelling. The conversation
turned upon navigation and particularly
upon the phenomenon of tides. The
weather -bronzed skipper said that he
had found during the course of his
travels that in different parts of the
world the tides varied, and, while
aware of this fact, was unable to account
for it.
He had noticed that near the south
coast of the Bay of Fundy, in Nova
Scotia, the tide rose from sixty to
seventy FIVE feet; off Lshant, nearly fifty
feet; forty.tve feet between Jersey and
St. Mato, and in the lower part of I'm
gava Bay, which is on the north coast of
Labrador, the tide is reported as the
greatest at flood and ebb of any known
part of the world. 1t is claimed to have
8 vertical rise of 100 feet. On the north
shore of Hudson's Bay and straits it is
from twenty to thirty feet. In the Polar
Sea, north of North America and Siberia,
there is scarcely any tide, the maximum
being about twenty inches only. A
TeLrgraw reporter asked the professor for
an explanation of this phenomenon.
"Tne sun and muon," s..id the Pro-
fessor, combine to sweep around the
world two immense waves daily. Their
greatest heights are attained at full and
change OF the moon and during one half
of the year they occur at night and the
other half in the day time. In mid
ocean the greatest height is about twenty
feet, but when checked by the shore
they are piled up aud thus reach their
maximum. Inland seas and lakes are
not so much affected, because while one
part is at its highest in the ocean it is
compensated at ninety degrees distance
by the lowest tide. This mpeusatiou
is impossible in sels or lakes of small ex-
tent. Though man has succeeded in
calculatin the regular daily recurring
tides with the greatest accuracy, the
movements Of tidal waves arc as little
known as when Aristotle drowned him
Sc because unable to predict their COM
mr."

Satisfying Murdered Indians
Relatives.

If an Indian is killed-in quarrel his
relatives are usually appeased by pay
ment. I remember once fancy, over
bearing young Assinaboine buck came
into the Milk River Agency and bent
his bow and arrow on the agents pet
dog. The agent warned him if he shot
the dog he would kill the Indian. The
young buck shot his arrow, the agent
killed him. We expected to have some
trouble, bat the grief stricken father
came forward on behalf OF the relatives
and claimed that, in consideration of the
young man being such good buffalo
runner, the agent must pay for the loss
of such a person a red blanket, piece
of calico and four pounds of sugar. He
complied with their demands, but the
vengeful relatives thereafter adopted
him as their banker. The mother and
other relatives of the SLAIN young man
scarcely ever met the agent without en-
bracipg him, and with endearing epithets
begging for something more IN remem-
brance of the good buffalo runner
