Dimensions of the Colosseum,

The colosseum built by Titus, A. d. So,
is in shape an ellipse. Its external circum-
ference Is SIG yards, It's long diameter 205
yards, its short diameter ITO yards. The
arena is So by 9S yards, and the height OF
the gigan. &C mass is 1856 feet. Four stories
remain, the seats being in tiers, and cal
culation, made from careful measurements,
shows that there We're seats for $1,000 spec
tators, while 63, 600 more could have found
standing room, thus giving the place a
capacity of 10000. Only about one-third
of the original structure remains, for the
great building served Rome for ages as a
quarry, but gwen in its ruins it is one of the
most stupendous monuments of antiquity.
Its foundation would, in length, cover two
city blocks, while its width is equal to one
and one~half, and its height about that OF
the tallest Office building.-St. Louis Globe

Discharging His Engineer.

One day Potter Palmer went down into
the engine room of his hotel and in some
way got into dispute with the engineer.
Mr.. Palmer ended the matter by telling
his employe to go to the office and get his
salary and get out. Now, this engineer
had been in Mr.. palmer's employ fifteen
years and knew every pipe, wire and rope
in the big hotel. The manager of the
house, who, by the way, is now St. Louis
landlord, was greatly put out when the
faithful employe told him the "old man"
had 'fired" him. "Jim," said the mana
ger, 81 don't want you to go. We would
be in trouble for months if new man
took your place. Pll tell you what you do.
Go and shave off that mighty beard you
wear, dress up in your Sunday clothes and
go and strike the old man for your old
job"
An hour later Mr.. Palmer was ap-
preached by a smooth faced, neatly dressed
man, who courteously inquired if he need
ed the services of a first class engineer.
'That's just what do" was Mr.. Palmer's
reply. 'tThe man I've had has been dis
charged. He had been long time in the
place, but he got sassy AS your papers
are all right you can try the place" That
happened years ago, but Jim still holds
the fort. Mr.. Palmer has never regretted
that he "fred" that SASSY Jim" and hired
in his place the gentlemanly smooth faced
man who keeps everything in such perfect
running order.-Cor. ST. Louis Globe Dem

Japan Teas in the United States.

Japan has always found it's most gen
erous customer in the United States;
in England and the continental countries
the Chinese variety has maintained its
prominence, though of late the importa-
lions of black teas from India, Java and
Ceylon have been considerable. The CON
sequence has been that, great as the con-
sumption of japanese teas has been in this
country, the supply has been more than
adequate to all demands; prices have de
clined, and still the entire product of the
country has not been sold, even though
offered at less than the cost of production.
Lately, therefore, the japanese producers
have turned their attention to cultivation
of the varieties known to the Chinese trade
as Gunpowders, Oolongs, Imperials and
Congous, employing for the purpose skilled
Chinese to manage the processes, as a
means of widening their market.-Good

The Barn Owl.

The barn owl, when she has young,
brings to her nest mouse every twelve min
utes, and as she is actively employed both at
evening and dawn, as both male and female
hunt, forty mice a day is the lowest COM
putation we can make. How soft is the
p1umage of the owl; how noiseless her
flight! Watch her as she floats past the
ivy tod, down by the ricks, and silently
over the old wood. Then away over the
meadows, through the open door and out
of the loophole of the barn, round the
lichened tower, and along the course of the
brook.
Presently she returns to her four downy
young, with a mouse in one claw and a
mole in the other, soon to be ripped up,
torn and eaten by the greedy, swapping
imps The young are produced from April
to December, and not infrequently both
young and eggs are found in the same
nest. If you would see the midday siesta
of the owls, climb up into some hay NOW.
There in an angle of the beam you will
see their owlships, snoring and blinking
wide their great, round eyes. Their duet is
the most unearthly, ridiculous, grave, like
nothing else noise you ever heard.-Corn-

snails That Carry Lights,

Africa produces the largest snails, the
shell of the agate snail being eight inches
across, but the state Of Washington, and
possibly northern California, produces an
alblno--s pure white snail, known as Helix
fidelis-that is perhaps the most striking.
The slugs are not particularly aesthetic, yet
they are attractive, carrying their little
scalelike shell upon their backs, Limax
noctiluca, of the island of Teneriffe, carries
light in the form Of LUMINOUS pore,
while the eggs Of apother-Arion-are lu-
minous for the first fifteen days of their
existence.
One of the most singular of this group is
the onchidium, a bulky marine slug which
has many eyes over its surface and consti-
tutes the chief food of the singular fish
that goes looping along the shore.-Cor.

IF YOU KNEW.

Dear, if you knew what tears they shed,
Who live apart from homo and friend,
To pass my house, by pity led,
Your steps would tend.
And if you knew what jubilees
Begets, in sad souls, a friends glance.
You'd look up where my window is.
As if by chance.
And if you dreamed how friends smile
And nearness soothe heart that's sore,
You might be moved to stay awhile
Before my door.
Then if you guessed loved you, sweet,
And how my love is deep and wide,
Something might tempt your passing feet
To come inside.

GENERAL ITEMS.
Village Improvement.

There are already hundreds of
Village Improvement associations in
this country, and the movement is now
spreading more widely than ever.
How eau we organize such a society
in our town, where there is little in
terest in the subject ?" is frequent
question.
Experience shows that the best way
to begin this work is to call together
the people for a free lecture, setting
forth the aims and results of this move
ment, and then strike while the iron is
hot, by adopting a constitution and
appointing the proper officers.
The next question usually is, how to
raise the needful funds for this work.
| answer, enlist the ladies. MANY
efficient associations have been started
by them, and nearly all are Differed
byB them. Their aid Is essential
alike IL raising funds and in securing
general cooperation. | always
anticipate success in any town where
one or two earnest ladies start this
work.
The treasury may be replenished by
membership fees, large or small, ac-
cording to the liberality of the com
munity, by life memberships ranging
from $40 to $50 each, by fairs, lectures
concerts and other entertainments.
Large gifts for such public improve
ments are often made by wealthy
citizens, and by natives, now non
residents. MANY whom fortune has
favored are glad of such an opportu-
nifty to show their grateful remember
ance of the mother soil that bore them.
Many hundreds and thousands of
dollars come in such tilial gifts, and
often from unexpected sources.
Interest the youth of the town and
give them something to do in improv-
ing around their homes and by the
road-sides. Their membership fee,
when paid in work, often enriches the
treasury by its influence on parents

Better call Maryland's current pride

ringster will round up the symmetry
of his fractional hauteur with vision of
Yorktown, and of that earlier incident
when the noble youth would not dodge
categorical inquiry, giving bright
promise of civil general who would
never buy a vote or funk on the man
who wanted to know all about the

because they are cheap. Ladies purchasing
the "Favorite Fashion Journals" can rest

Permit a physician to thank you for
your timely and praiseworthy inter
position in behalf of DR.. Craigen in
this mornings issue.
DR.. Craigen certainly did heartless
and very foolish thing when he re-
opened a wound he had already dressed,
because the patient could not or would
not pay for the services rendered but
you are PROFESSIONALLY right in saying
that it must have been done in n
sudden tit of anger because he thought
himself imposed upon. If all the facts
could be known it would be found that
this supposed imposition was the
eliminating one of Il long series that
he has endured-as every physician
has to endure them-in silence, and
that it proved the straw TOO much.
But in any event the offence does
not merit the punishment sought to be-
inflicted on the doctor. If those who
are bounding him on to his utter ruin
are themselves immaculate, if they
never under any circumstances do
unjust or foolish things bring
cruel and railing accusations, based
on insufficient or false testimony-if
they never act or have acted under the
sudden impulse of passion or of a
sense of wrong sustained, then let them
hurl their anathemas at DR.. Craigen.
But as Cumberland is not known to
be prolific in sanctity not many, |
imagine. will be found competent to
act in the premises.
Otherwise, this persecution of a man
who has hitherto borne the character
of a good citizen will appear to an
impartial observer like boarded
vengeance, poured out to ''feed fat
some ancient grudge." MD.
