LACROSSE PLAYERS COMING.

Iroquois Indians to Compose One of the
Teams.
The Montreal Witness, under the head
Indians for Australia" has the follow
ing interesting item. The game of
lacrosse borrowed from the Indians is
the national game of Canada. Its exer-
else is rather violent for permanent
institution in the tropics, but a match
between experts is an exhibition more
exciting even than baseball:
CDR. Foster, of Toronto, proposes to
take two lacrosse teams over to Australia
in the spring, stopping at Honolulu and
perhaps also playing in New Zealand by
the way. He is in negotiation with Big
John to see if he can organize a good team
of Iroquois Indians at Caughnawaga for
this tour and Big John is talking over
the matter with the best lacrosse players
of his tribe. Each member of the team
would be given two suits of clothes be-
sides monthly salary"

Sad Death of an American Naval officer

Sad Death of an American Naval Officer.
A sad event occurred at Shanghai on
January 6th on board the U SIS. Omaha.
The particulars are given by the North
China Daily News as follows: Chief
Engineer Edwin Wells, who had been in
perfectly good health, was a man very
we'll situated, and much liked by his
brother officers, bachelor and, as far as
known, with no troubles of any kind,
though he had appeared at times little
melancholy during the last few days.
went into Commander Reissinger's cabin
and borrowed his revolver, no one being
there at the time. After looking about
him on deck, he went out on the upper
grating on the starboard gangway, and
shot himself through the head, dying
instantly. Mr.. Wells was a native of
Pennsylvania and entered the u s. navy
in 1861, serving during the war. He was
beloved by his messmates, and his death
is a great shock to his brother officers.
An inquest was held on board the
Omaha, according to regulations, and
found that the deceased committed sui
eide during temporary insanity. No
cause was assigned for the insanity by
the Board of Inquest, but it was found
when the pOst-mOrtem was made that
the brain of the deceased was adhering
to the skull.

the statement that there are annually in Italy
nearly 800 LOCO cases of typhoid fever, of which

commonly used in abdominal disease. The ma

MILLIONS OF METEORITES.
An Estimate That 400, 100000 Enter the
Earth's Atmosphere Daily.

An Estimate That 40O,OOO.OOO Enter the
Earth's Atmosphere Daily.
J. N. Lockyer in Harper,s.i
Observations of falling-stars have been
used to determine roughly the average num-
ber of meteorites which attempt to pierce
the earth's atmosphere during each "a
hours. DR.. Schmidt, of Athens, from OBJ
servations made during II years, found that
the mean hourly number of luminous
meteors visible on q clear moonless night by
one observer was IA, taking the time Of OBJ
servation from midnight to A.. M.
1t has been further experimentally shown
that large group of observers who might
include the whole horizon in their obserya-
tions would see about six times as many
as are visible to one eye. Prot.
b. A. Newton and others have cal
culated that, making all proper cor
rections, the number which might be visible
over the whole earth would be a little
greater than 10000 times as many as could
be seen at one place. From this we gather
not less than 20,000,000 luminous meteors
fall upon our planet daily, each Of which in
dark clear night would present US with
the well-known phenomenon of shooting
star.
This number, however, by no means rep
resents the total number of minute meteor
lies that enter our atmosphere, because
manv entirely invisible to the naked eye are
often seen in telescopes. 1t has been calcu.
lated that the number OF meteorites, If these
were included, would be increased at least
twenty-lold; this would give US 400, 900, 900
OF meteorites falling in the earth's atmos-
phere daily.

A Stupid Discussion.

One of the most supid discussions imagin-
able is that of the question. els Marriage
Failure?" Ii would be just as profitable
and just as sensible to gravely debate the
question, rs Birth Failure?' or this, SIS Law
Fallure?" OF this, rs Society Failure%'
A good many people are unhappy in the mar
riage relation. True. What does that prove?
Why, simply that good many people have
made bad choice of a matrimonial partner
When men and women marry under the i'm
pulse OF fancy or from the whim of passion,
what could be expected? No marriage ever
was or could be a failure which was based on
mutual knowledge and respect and sanctioned
by love. But love alone is not enough-es-
pecially that bastard love which is born of
glancing eye, or weeks proximity, or a
sexual desire. Many marriages are brought
about by this humbug love:
This senior-junior, giant dwarf Dan Cupid;
Regent Of lOVe-rhymeS, lord of folded arms
The anointed sovereign Of sighs and groans:
Liege OF all loiterers and malcontents."
What, then, shall there be no more marriage?
Because there are abuses connected with il,
shall we discard matrimony? There are abuses
connected with everything human. The laws
are broken-shau we therefore abolish law:
Within the borders of civilization robbery and
murder are frequent, and whole classes live in
insecurity and pauperism. shall we therefore
conclude that civilization is failure?
Imperfection and abuse are good reasons for
dissatisfaction, and may well inspire efforts to-
ward amendment, but not sufficient reasons for
dissolving vilsOciety Only fools 20 from bad
TO worse, from civilization to anarchy.
BY common consent marriage is the strongest
and most sacred tie that binds men and women
together. Let no one assail it. Andas oftenas
anyone does,
Put in every honest hand a whip
To lash the rascal naked through the world"

A PLEASANT FRUIT.
Different Varieties Of Olives, the Enjoyment
of Which Denotes an Acnuirad Taafn


of Which Denotes an Acquired Taste.
The designation of ''Queen" has no refer
ence to size, only the variety, they being
round-the others oval-in shape. The olives
put up for table use by the Bordeaux bot
tiers are of several different varieties. The
large Spanish olives, known as the "Queen
Olives" are known to the trade as
"Padrones Sevillas. These. by the way, are
quite distinct variety from the other
varieties grown in Spain, known as "Man-
zanillas, " which are used for making oil, the
"Gordalles," having much more meat but
less oil. The smaller olives put up in
Bordeaux are principally of French growth
and are known as "Amelleaux,"
"Verdalles" and "Lucques," the latter
called here Crescent Olives" on
account of their shape, and are much
preferred to any other for table use. The
"Verdalles" have q strong, full flavor, and
are much used for sauces, to be served with
meats, while the "Amelleaux" have little
more oil and less flavor. There is also a
fourth variety, known as ''Picholies,"
similar to the "Amelleau1" in char
acter, but larger and longer. solve farcies"
are Amelleaux olives stuffed with anchoyies
and capers. As rule, the American trade
prefers the Queen Olives" on account of
their size and line appearance, the smaller
size being as large as the largest of other
varieties; but in Europe the smaller olives
are quite generally preferred on account of
their flavor and the finer quality of the
meat.

An Old Truth.

"Hitch your wagon to star, "says Emer.
son. The Sage of Concord means by this
quaint phrase that We should perform our
common, everyday duties from q high
motive. This will strike meaning and dignity
into trivial things 1t will wheel all the natural
and supernatural. forces on our side. 1t will
quadruple our power and comfort.
When ouly sailing vessels crossed the
Atlantic there was no way to work the pumps.
In case Of o leak, save by hand: there was no
force in steering but that which the sailors
arms supplied; there was no way OF warming
the cabin but by stove, which was comfort
less and dangerous See the difference now.
Under every table and in every S;ateroOm are
pipes from the great engine to preserve an
equal temperature. The pumps are worked in
the same way. aud the man at the wheel need
not struggle and call for help in u high sea, but
has only TO open al valve, which q cnild's hand
might control, and the vessel is steered by the
same power which drives it ferward-the giant
steam, Thus the one central force does all
these things, and better results are reached.
"Hitch your wagon to o star" Act under
the impulsion of Divine Power. What the
New England philosopher was seeking after in
this maxim. is but the old truth of Jesus and
of Paul: seek those things which are above"

EDUCATED, YET BRAINLESs.

The strange story whicn floats in from

of the Freeholders that they killed him in

porcine brain cavity was empty. "Time
was that when the brains were out, the man
would die, observed the immortal William
But it now appears-that is, if the Freehold
story be true one-that when the brains
are out a pig may live, and not only live,
but exhibit so many fine intellectual quail
ties as to endear himself to a wide circle of
distinguished and admiring humans.
What becomes of all the discussions
about the Transformation of phosphorus into

Intelligence, about the correspondence be-
tween cerebral organs and mental condi-
