Professor Lexis, of the university Of
Gottingen, has published work in
which he proves by statistics that the
German universities have twice as
many students as can possibly hope TO
make living by the respective profes-

The consequence is, he argues, large
annual increase of the learned aud
most dangerous proletarian class.

From the British board of trade re-

June, 1889, the number of vessels un-
der the British flag to which accidents
happened of various kinds, was z, 724,
involving the loss of 2, 534 lives. This
is melancholy record, but is less than
the average for ten years of about fifty
lives. There were 906 total losses, OF
which nearly one-third are reported as

by Hook you will by Croke." Hence
arose the idiom which is now so firmly
grated into the English tongue.

The ston. Age I'm pit..burr.

In Pittsburg's salad days wood was
regarded as good building material.
A big fire disposed of that idea. Then
bricks were used. Next, iron was re-
garded as the proper thing, and the
iron block in Fifth avenue, between
Wood and Market streets, is, with
many others, evidence of the Iron
city's iron age. But iron had its day
and Pittsburgers found stone and
brick combined more suited to their
growing desire for better building ma
terial. The evolution took on a still
better stage when natural gas made
architectural beauty more possible.
Today finds granite, marble and sand
stone, and the finest of brick the ac-
cepted materials Light colored gran
lite has the preference, as can be seen
at the intersection of Wood street and
Sixth avenue, and in other places.
This material has come to stay, and
the stone age has fairly set in for the
Iron city.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

part of June, when we had dropped
our anchor on our accustomed fishing
ground, said: Now, my darling,

John Strahan in the Glasgow Mail, on the

which was laborious in the extreme, dis
closed fresh scenes of verdure and tropical
splendor, winding along the sides OF deep
ravines, sometimes dragging ourselves
up the creepers and underground, we ulti-
mately attained an altitude OF about one
thousand feet above the sea, and then en-
tered the nutmeg country. Here we matted
and rested. The Rajah pulled some OF the
nutmegs, and explained how lar they were
from being ripe.
Having rested sufficiently, we again start

table-land, over which we Travelled ior
about another half an hour, when we
reached three houses erected IN the very
heart of the forest These were used by
the natives for drying the nutmegs. The
country was everywhere magnificent, and
the aroma of the spice laden air delicious.
Nutmeg and other equally valuable trees
were everywhere growing in great profu-
sion. The fruit of the nutmeg in appear
