A little war cloud appears on the sky
in Europe in the rupture of diplomatic
relations between Servia and Bulgaria.
If general European war breaks out it
is expected to start just in this way.
Russia is believed to be at the bottom OF
this trouble. If it had not been for the
Vaccinations of the Car, the last wal
between Servia and Bulgaria, would not
have occurred, and that would have led
to general conflict if Bismarck had not
given the Car notice that interference
on his part would lead to trouble with
Germany and Austria and Italy. II

There seems to be little doubt in the
mind of the editor of Harpcr's Weekly
that Old Gabriel, the mission Indian who
died not long ago at Salinas, California,
was one hundred and fifty years old
His story, as handed down by the
Franciscan missionaries, shows that wheD
Father Junipero arrived in Monterey ir
1869, Gabriel was already grandfather
His long life was greatly due to lis
habits of personal cleanliness, which
were strict, and the regularity With
which he ate his simple meals. The
other Indians, however, attributed his
longevity to the fact that he was the first
of their number to be baptized by the
priest. Up to five or six years age
Gabricls faculties we're vel preserved
but later on they failed rapidly.

James D. Leary, Of raft fame, is going
to make another attempt to have a raft
towed to New York city from Nova
Scotia Work began in the early part
of last winter on the ice at Georgetown,
Nova Scotia, by building cribs. The
work is being carried out with vigor at
other places, and large number of men
are engaged. Learys plan differs ma.
terially from that of his former raft. This
tow will be made up of number of
cribs containing about 500 pieces of
piling each. Each crib has q strong
chain laid lengthwise in the GENRE of the
timbcrs, the whole being firmly secured
on the outside by binders of heavy wire
rigging When these are completed, a
number of these cribs sufficient to make
up the tow will be coupled together,
much as railroad train is. 1t is ex-
pected that the first raft will be ready
very shortly, when it will be towed to
New York CITY bv tug or two.

catches 400 pounds of catfish day which
he sells to dealers, who, in their turn
ship the meat to Northern hotels as bass

and fms to prevent identification. The
catfish is disgusting scavenger, the buz,

materially from the other fishes named,
in outward appearance, that no one should
be deceived.

n nearly all railroad accidents the

In nearly all railroad accidents the
common passenger cars are crushed, With
great fatality to life, while sleeping and
parlor cars of heavier construction
usually escape with slight injury. 1t is
in these last that officers of the road are
generally found. Probably the extra
weight of the sleeping and parlor cars
helps to crush in Others, but it does seem
to the american CuLtiUatOr as If common
cars should be strengthened ms far as pos.
siblc. If railroad officials were obliged
to ride on the class of cars they furnish
for common people, fewer accidents
would occur. A less harsh remedy would
be to assess extra heavy damages for loss
of life occasioncd by using cars especially
liable to breakage. The law limiting the
damage tor killing in railroad accidents
to $4,000 life should be repealed, or the
limit put good deal higher than it now
