 A colored school teacher at Atlanta, Geor- gia, was dismissed two or three years ago for refusing to march with his pupils in a pro- cession in honor of Jeff Davis. He has lately been appointed to a clerkship in the government service, the first colored man in Georgia appointed since President Harrison came into office.
 The Austrian bent wood furniture, which Is becoming popular, is made of ordinary red beach, which is very plantiful in Hun- gary. The timber Is sawed into strips from an inch and a half to two inches square, and these are turned into round rods They are placed In an air-tight case and exposed for fifteen minutes to the action of superheated steam, which makes them so pliab1e that they can be bent by hand to the iron pat terms, where they are secured and left to dry for several days, after which they are ready to be used in the manufacture of the furni- ture.
 In the last six months thirty-seven con- victs have been sent from the state prisons of New York to the asylum for insane crim- inals. There are now 3,737 convicts in the various prisons ot the state, and only 3,7s7 cells. Fifty more convicts will fill all the cells there are. In the meantime, the con- victs are kept locked up in absolute idlenesss some plotting desperate and murderous schemes, some sinking under diseases which necessarily follow close and unrelieved con- fnement, some dropping into imbecility, some fretting themselves into insanity. All this is because certain "friends of labor' had foolish and erroneous ideas.
 Ex-Governor Pillsbury, of Minnesota, is 8 firm believer in the principle of profit shar- ing. He says concerning 1t: We have prac- tioed profit-sharing in our flour mills, for nearly seven years. During four of the years ! we have paid substantial dividends to our ] men; during two we have paid none, and the seventh year is not quite completed. We have paid out over $150, ,000 in dividends to our men; and we do not think we are any the poorer for it. I do not think there is 6 better, mere faithful or more contented set of employees in the world; and there has never been the slightest kind of antagonism between our men and ourselves.

 A Baltimore company is experimenting with what it's officials are reported to believe will effect revolution in the s'transporta- tion of express matter and lighter freight" It has built two-mile circular track on which it has been making it's tests- The sys- tenn of propulsion is by means of the electric motor. A description of the arrangement says: "The overhead rail is the main feature, double-fanged wheel on the car and mo- tor catching upon it when the car is in mo- tion. Stations about twenty-five miles apart, it is believed, will be sufficient to furnish from dynamos all the electricity necessary for round trip" If the scheme prove suc- oessful, the projectors profess to be confident that people 1000 miles away, for instance, other end of the line.
 John D. Jennings, the Chicago millionaire who has just died, has made it practice for more than thirty years to give ninety-nine year leases for his land. His method of req soning was as follows: He never bought except in times of depression, or at bar- gain. He would thus secure at $100,000 lot worth, say, $130,000. He would then offer to lease this lot for ninety mine years, at rental of per cent. on $130,000, with ont A revalUation provided a fine building should be erected. The fact that the lease would be made valuable by the rise of the property simply meant to him that the lessee would be better able to pay the interest, which would be nine per cent. on his invest ment, and would continue ninety-n nine years with superb security. So he saw his leases sold at a profit of sometimes $75, ,000 with entire equanimity, because he calculated that he or his heirs would be drawing from eight to ten per cent. on the investment at time in the future when the rate of interest had fallen to figure very much lower.

ROCKS OF THE EARTH. How they Are F0rmed-Lime All Made
 Animals.

by Animals.
 Granite is the lowest rock in the earth's crust. It is the bedrock of the world, &C., eording to 8 writer in the Kansas City Times. It shows no evidence of animal or vegetable life. It is from two to ten times as thick as the united thicknesses of all the other rocks It is the parent rock from which all the other rocks have been either directly or indirectly derived.
 It is true that it does not contain lime, while imestones do contain that substance, but it furnishes the foundation for vegetable growth. Vegetable growth furnishes the foundation for animal growth, and animal growth brings lime into existence. 1t is claimed by scientists that all the lime in the world has, at some time, been portion of many different animals. and possibly of hu- man being also.
 The forces of nature are gradually levelling down the mountains and hills, and are as gradually and surely filling up the valleys and sslow places'' of the earth.
 Chemical changes are constantly going on in the rocks. The sudden contact of sub. stances in the interior of the earth that have great affinity or repulsion for one another is sometimes sufficient to cause volcanoes and earthquakes. As 8 rule, however, chemical changes are wrought silently and almost inn perceptibly.
 The oxygen from water is daily and hourly combining with iron and other substances in the earth, and forming oxides that appear as ochres, mineral paints, colored clay, etc.
 Attention is called to the agencies of ani- mals. Passively, as observed above, all ami nal increase the amount of lime and lime stone material by digestion, assimilation, e1- cretion and death.
 Some animals bring about rock changes as active agents. All borrowing animals bring materials from beneath the surface that change on exposure to the atmosphere and sunlight.
 Darwin decided, after years of observation, that earthworms constitute one of the princi- pal agencies in the disintegration of hard rock and the formation of soils and lighter clays. If angle or ss6lsh" worms were all destroyed it would indeed be great calam- ity. It is probable that they do more to preserve the fertility of the soil than does any other agency.
 Coral:reefs afford beautiful sample of the rock changes brought about by ani- mals.
 An example of the combined agency of wind, tides, waves, plants and animals is found in floating islands First, immense drifts of seaweeds are formed by the motion of the water. On these drifts great colonies of seabirds make their nests from year tc year. The eggshells and other excrements or the birds, together with tkeir remains when they die, in time form soil in which plants can grow.
 Some of these islands become heavy enough to settle to the bottom in shallow water, and form permanent land adapted for the home of men.

IT IS ESTIMATED that the number Of
women who voted for school committee in
the recent election in Boston was about
17,000-being about so per cent. of the
number registered. There was quite q
falling off also in the number of female
voters registered, as compared with the
number entitled 10 register 1t is stated
that the falling off occurred chiefly among
Roman Cathoiics-the clergy of that church
having used their influence against the par
tic;paiion of women in the elections How
ever this may be, the praise is due as well
to the women who declined to dabble in
public affairs as to those who sought to
influence them to such course. The fe.
male vote cast was heavy one, however,
and it has set the politicians Of both par
ties to thinking of the best means to get
the women on their side Once let it be
understood that the women intend to do
their full share of voting, and their vote
will become an important factor in popu-
lar elections. Possessing that much power,
it is natural to expect that it will become
an object Of the attention and the desire Of
each OF the political parties. The New
York Evening Post informs us that many
students of the subject have held that the
movement would ultimately be carried 10
success through being taken up as party
measure, and the same paper thinks that
it is at least possible that Massachusetts
will ultimately give woman the suffrage
because the Republican politicians have
become convinced that they can in that
way strengthen their party.

ing AS far down the street as Fosters

first intimation the residents Of the lower
portion of the street had of any moisture In
the vicinity was the appearance of solid

at work on a new house n block from the end
of the paving. They hastened down to get
their tools and lumber from the street, but
before they succeeded river OF water the
full width Of the street was rushing by.
Two feet back from the first advancing ripple
the food was six inches deep in the center of
the street, and at the sides it was overflow
ing the curbing and spreading over the side

ing the dry and dusty paving presented re-
markabe phenomenon. II continued TO run
for nearly three hours, and during the time
q much larger quantity Of water descended
the street than during the heavy rain on
Monday afternoon.

Terr,rle Death of n srowaway.

In the hold of the steamship Yemassee
says Charleston, S. c.. dispatch, the
dead body of James Duify,a bookbinder,
aged twenty-thrce, was found in an ad-
vanced state of decomposition and hor-
ribly mutilated, presumably by himself
in his death agonies, James Duffy,
John Dunn and George Scott, all young
men in their twenties, slowed them
selves away in the coal bunkers of the
Yemassee in New York in order to get
back to Charleston, which place they
left not long ago in search of work.
On the morning of the second day out
Scott and Dunn came trut of the bunkers
and were put to work, but Duffy re-
mained in hiding.
When found the body was entirely
nude and was swollen and purple. The
compartment was hot as an oven and in
his search for air Duffy had stretched
his head through the lattice about the
crank pit, where it became fastened.
Suifocating in the roasting atmosphere
the man must have gone mad. His
flesh was torn by his nails and his legs
and body were covered with contusions
