whitclaw Reid,s New Homo.

One hundred granite columns of enor-
nous size and highly polished have been
received at the Ophir farm, the home Of
Whitelaw Reid. They are to be used in
the construction of $4,000 portico for
his granite mansion, which is in the
course of erection. It is said that Mr..
Reid's residence will be almost as hand
some as that of the Rockefeller mansion
on the Hudson. The building is model
ed after the ancient German castles of
the Fourteenth century. 1t is built on
an elevation, and commands u fine view
of tho surrounding country. From the
castle tower Greenwich hurbor, Long
Island sound, Staten Island, and on a
clear day the spires and Brooklyn bridge
in New York can be seen.-New York

Ups and Downs in the Yeast Market,

Yeast is naturally a most unstable sort
of commodity, but its main characteristic
is that upon the very slightest provoca-
ton it will rise. During the past week,
however, it contradicted its usual meth
DDS and shrunk in most amazing way.
Saturday last it sold for 20 cents q
pound. Monday it was selling tor s
cents a pound, and yesterday tho price
rose again to 20 cents.
Investigation into the causes of this
extraordinary fuctuation in price reveals
the existence of hide bound, copper
botto,ned, double riveted trust which
absolutely controls tho price of yeast,
and holds it at a figure which pays the
members of the trust handsome profit.
A pound of yeast cut into squares and
wrapped in tin foil will make forty
cakes, which are sold by the manufact-
urers at 1 cent each, and retailed for 2.
The consumer of this yeast then pays 80
cents per pound. The profit is GS cents,
of which the retailer makes 40 and tho
manufacturer % cents. Compressed
yeast is made from whiskies, vinegars,
and Glow wines" and could be retailed
at Is cents pound, with a fair margin
of profit for manufacturer and retailer

A hug with Two Green lanterns.

Mr.. A. w. Habersham found on Ex-
change place beetle about one inch
long that has back of his eyes two spots
that give out Il dazzling phosphorescent
green light sufficient to illuminate his
surroundings for a distance of several
inches. When placed on his back he
rights himself with u spring and q snap
ping sound. 1t is hence inferred that he
belongs to the family "Elater." AS
such q beetle with lantern is not known
to be q resident of this country it is sup
posed that Mr.. Habersham's find is an
Immigrant from Brazil or some tropical
country where bugs that carry lanterns
are not uncommon Sun.

People going to Europe for the first
time are generally surprised at being
told they are entitled to take forty cubic
feet Of baggage without extra charge
1t sounds like great deal. but as a mat
ter of fact it doesn't amount to more
than two big trunks. For every ton of
baggage above the limit passengers on
ocean steamers are supposed to pay
twenty shillings charges, but the steam
ship companies are very liberal in the
matter and show no disposition, as a
rule, to be disobliging. Two trunks
each feet long by q feet high by feet
wide contain each twenty cubic feet and
would exhaust the baggage limit.-New

Odor from Insects.

It is we'll known that moths and but
terAies give off odors either from the
wings or the hinder end of the body.
Certain moths, as the parent of the COM
mon red and black s'bear" caterpillar,
and of the salt marsh caterpillar, have a
retractile organ, which, when thrust out,
throws off a strong odor, somewhat like
laudanum. The other evening we caught
a white female miller (Spilosoma virgin
ica), which, after rough handling, threw
off a very peculiar, strong odor, some
what reminding us of laudanum, and
which remained on the fingers for sew
eral hours. The moth did not dart out
the repugnatorial appendages found in
the other arctians.-New York Indepen-

The Saturday Half Holiday.

When the Saturday half holiday law
was enacted there were some pessimistic
persons who predicted that its operation
would not only injurc business, but
would lead to an increase in crime be.
cause Of the idleness of thousands Of
working people. Strange to say, the po-
lice records show q decreased percentage
of arrests since the law went into effect.
Although the observance of the day has
steadily increased, the disposition to
commit breaches of tho peace on the part
of the working people, who have been
thrown upon their own resources for self
amusement, has been curbed rather than
stimulated. 1t was the purpose of the
law to afford wage earners an opportu-
nifty to enjoy, on the threshold of the sa-
cred day of rest, a half days recreation
during the summer months. Two years
experience has proved that the men for
whose benefit the law was passed have
apparently spent their time in peaceable
excursions and pastimes. The public
parks in this city and in Brooklyn have
been crowded on Saturday afternoons as
they never were before, and the carry
ing capacity of excursion boats has been
tested to its utmost limit.
Bankers and brokers who were op-
posed to the innovation when the half
holiday law was proposed have not only
become reconciled to the new order of
things, but most of them now welcome
the holiday with undisguised pleasure.
In the down town business centers there
is growing tendency to make the whole
of Saturday holiday during the sum-
mer months. Many Wall street brokers
do not attempt to do any business on
Saturday, but take cheerful leave of
their offices on Friday night and dismiss
business cares from their minds until
Monday morning. This same spirit pre-
walls also among the dry goods dealers.
All of this goes to show that the Ameri-
can citizen is fully able to enjoy holi-
day when it is forced upon him by the
law.-New York Times.

A Large Hydraulic Rivetinr Plant.


An immense hydraulic riveting plant
the largest ever made-has been built
in London for an engineering company
in Holland, and is to be employed on
marine boilers. The riveter has gap 12
feet deep, closes its jaws with power of
200 tons, and is capable of closing rivets
up to 81 inches in diameter. A travel
ing crane, so feet high, is designed to
raise and manipulate boiler weighing
anything up to so tons. The crane is
operated by two engines, steam for
which and the powerful pumps giving
hydraulic power for the riveter's great
accumulator is supplied by two steel
boilers, each capable of doing duty equal
to about 100 indicated horse power

Workmen engaged in sinking an ar

Keen on of White Silcwalks.

If man wants to avoid being pros
trated by the heat he needs to be careful
how he walks over white sidewalk
with the sun OH it. In very hot weather
people wear white or very light clothing
because it repels the heat, while dark
clothes absorb it. It is just SO with
these white pavements. They never get
so hot as dark ones, and are easier on
the feet in consequence, but they refNt
the heat on the person who walks over
them. It is better to walk in the street
than on one of these white heat reflect
