What Allied the Noble Red Man.

She was romantic young lady who
who had been reading about the noble
red man. He was stalwart savage,
whose sombre visage indicated suffering
of some kind. She approached and
addressed him thus:
why droops the eagle eye of the
forest chief? Is he brooding over the
wrongs of his race? Does the memory
of the red warrior revert to the past,
when his proud ancestors roamed
through the mighty forests and enjoyed
the primeval glories of nature, now so
sadly marred by the az and pillow of the
whiteinvader?"
The answer of the forest chief with
the dropping eagle eye was a little
shocking to her refined sensibility.

P. 7. BARNUM is not popular with
the patriotic citizens of Canada There
is heavy duty on circus posters in the
Dominion, and Mr.. Barnum has been
under great expense in taking printed
matter across the border. He planned a
Canadian tour for 1886, and two years
before that date he sent tons of posters
to Canada and neglected to pay the duty.
The stuff lay uncalled for at the custom
house and was advertised for auction at
last. Barnum sent an agent to the
sale, who bought the bills at bargain.
The story leaked out, and now Phineas
T. is on the Dominion blacklist.

The Worlds Richest Nation.

Great Britain's claim to be the rich
est nation in the world, relatively speak
ing, must go undisputed' According to
the figures of Robert Giffin, the English
statesman, in 1885 the accumulated
wealth of Great Britain amounted to
100000, 100000, or e27O for each
person in the kingdom. Dividing the
total amount according to the wealth of
the three divisions of the kingdom the
residents of England would receive
e20S each, those in Scotland e242 and
Ireland 993. Gifin's figures make
Great Britain the richest per capita of
any nation in the world, France comes
second, with ESQ for each person, and
the United States third with EGO for
each inhabitant. The boast of the En-
glish iingo that his country has the
ships and the money is well substan-
tiated, but when it comes to question
of men she must fall back from the
front

BEN BUTLER was declared, by vote
recently taken by the Boston Record,
by big majority, to be the best-known
figure in Boston. A man who has seen
Ben Butler once will never forget him;
and a man who has never seen him will
know him the moment he puts his eyes
on him, as he has been carricatured so
much in the funny papers. 1t is said
nobody ever got Ben Butler into a cor
ner; he always finds hole to crawl out
He always drags himself along when
he walks, in a most undigniied kind of
shuttle; and he speaks in deep
gutteral tone, as if his voice came from
his stomach. When he reads, he places
paper directly before his eyes, and
mumbles out the contents in tone so
inarticulate it is almost impossible to
understand him. Ben has a good opin-
ion of himself, and takes care that this
opinion is we'll disseminated. People
used to think he was bad man, but
now there are few people who regard
him as wicked.

NEVER, probably, has the cross of the
Legion of Honor been more worthily
bestowed than IN the case of Marie
Therese, French Sister of Mercy, who
has just received it from the Governor
of Tonquin. She was wounded in the
trenches at Balaklava when she was but
twenty years old, and since then she
has been injured again and again on
battle fields in Mexico, Syria and
China while engaged in the a 1bulance
service of her country. Once she picked
up grenade that had fallen among
wounded soldiers and carried it to dis
lance, saving her patients, but suffering
severly herself from the explosion of
the missile.

In an entertainment given at vii
lage in Illinois, novel use of incan-
descent lamps was made. Several
young ladies gave a drill in military
costume. Their helmets were sur
mounted with three incandescent lights
with red, white, and blue globes. In
certain parts of the drill the lamps were
suddenly illuminated, and the effect
was striking The means by which
this was accomplished was extremely
simple. A converter was placed on the
outside of the building in which the hall
was located. The secondary wires ran
under the floor to brass plates about
three inches square, arranged in twos
on the stage floor. From the lamps on
the young ladies' helmets concealed
wires ran down to the little brass plates
in the heels of the shoes. After con-
Guiding series of evolutions each young
lady would come to a stand and plant
her heels firmly on the plate on the
stage. The lights would flash up and
contribute greatly to the general effect.

RIFLE bullets are now photographed
in their course by means of the electric
spark. The camera is taken into a
dark room, which the bullet is caused
to traverse. As it passes the camera it
is made TO interrupt an electric circuit
and produce spark, which eliminates
it for al instant and enables the i'm
preston to be taken. The wave of con-
densation in the air before the bullet
and the rarefaction behind it are visible
in the photograph, and can be studied
by experts, thus enabling the form of
ball or rife which minimizes the re-
sistance of the air to be selected.
