 Charles Spacks, Milwaukee socialist, in the course of speech few weeks ago re- marked that any man who aecumulates over $10, ,000 should be made to divide" Soon afterward relative of his died in Belgium and left him $16,00O. He has not said any thing about dividing 1t.
 The legislature of Louisiana is tempted to renew the charter of the Louisiana lottery for fifty years by the offer of that gambling concern to assume the entire debt of the State, amounting to $12, 100000 in return for the privilege. This offer ought to teach the buyers of lottery tickets that the chances are very much against them.
 It is not in New England alone that farm lands are rapidly depreoiating in value. The State assessors in New York find general depreciation in this class of property through out all the counties in the State, and 1t is predicted that in few years the occupants are likely to become tenants, instead of owners, in consequence of the mortgage sales of their lands. The difficulty seems to be
  with those in the West.
 An interesting project is that of utilizing the power of the "Dalles of the St. Louia," a few miles west of Duluth. These consist of series of cascades some miles in length, ,over which the whole volume of the river precipi- tates itself, with @ total fall of more that 500 feet. A local engineer proposes with single dam on the St. Louis to run all the street cars in Duluth, to furnish all the electric lights needed and to supply large amount of power for other uses. There is room on the river for thirty or forty such dams.
 M. Topinard has been making statistical inquiry into the colors of the eyes and hair in France, and from his 180, 900 observations he deduces many interesting results, one of the most curious being that where the race is formed of a mixture et blondes and brunettes the hereditary blond coloring comes out in the eyes and the brunette element reaopears in the hair. To this tendency probably Is to be attributed the rarity of 8 combination of light hair with dark eyes. Several observers have asserted that the American people, who are -eminently mixed race, are becoming 6 dark-haired and blue-eyed nation, and If this be true such development must be ow- ing to the working of the law formulated by M. Topinsrd.
 Last year New York held 8 food exhibit under the auspices of the State government, and 1t was such a success that 1t will be re- peated the last week in August and the first week fin September this year. The object sought to be gained in these exhibits is that of educating the masses as to the quality of food that is daily consumed. No exhibit of any manufacturer will be given space that does not come up to the requirements. Each manufacturer must first state the character of goods to be displayed and the committee will then decide whether to grant the appli- cation or not. A novel feature of the exhibit will be the cooking department that will oc- cupy one of the buildings. Here manufac- turers will give practical demonstrations af to the merits of their goods. Cooking in al branches will be carried on. Practical leo lures will be given upon the art of cooking Anyone go disposed can learn how to make 6 good loaf of bread or mess of biscuits and the plain everyday dishes that the mass oi people have.
