Sneed In Writing.

A rapid penman can write thirty words
in minute, says writer in the Chicago
Evening Journal. To do this he must
draw his quill through the space Of a
rod-sixteen and a-half feet. In forty
minutes his pen travels furlong, and
in five hours and a-third mile. We
make, on an average, sixteen curves of
the pen in writing each word. Writing
thirty words in minute, we must make
four hundred and lightweight to each
minute; in an hour twenty-eight thou
sand eight hundred; in day of only Ave
hours, one hundred and forty-four thou
sand; and in year Of three hundred
days, forty-three million two hundred
thousand. The man who made one mill
lion strokes of pen in month was not
at all remarkable. Many men make
four million. Here we have in the ag-
gregate mark, three hundred miles
long, to be traced on paper by each
writer in a year. In making each letter
of the ordinary alphabet, we must make
from three to seven strokes Of the pen
on an average, three and one-half to

world, Mr.. Pritchett in his recent pa
per on t"Smokiana," says nothing
from what we may term the smokers
point of view. He offers us pipes in
abundance, says the Chicago Evening
Journal, but we have hardly any infoi
nation about their probable or Gus
tomary contents. The Chinese, we are
told, smoke opium-a practice which
Mr.. Pritchett does not think injurious
to them in health. The Inhabitants OF
Zanzibar smoke wild hemp or bhang
With these exceptions, to which some
others might have been added, the to-
bacco leaf is the thing smoked. There
are many varieties of it, and we have
brief account of them, with their dis
tribution and their botanical names,
and with some pictures of the growing
plant. But beyond this Mr.. Pritchett
does not attempt to go. He writes OF
Dutch and German smokers and he has
word on French pipes.
But what kind of stuff these people
burn in their pipes is not 50 much as
limited at. The English traveller on the
continent will soon gain the informa-
ton for himself Go where he may,
he will find it simply impossible
to obtain what he will dignity with
| the name OF tobacco. The German
| and Dutch forms are better than the
italian and the French, but we
can saw no moro than this for them.
France we are inclined to put as tho
! lowest among civilized tobacco-consum
ing countries The hand of the Govern
ment makes itself felt all through. The
three kinds Of foreign tobacco whicl
are admitted into France are purchase,
on Government account, and they ar,
about equally bad. The native-grown
tobacco is wholly wanting in fragrance,
and it has the doubtful merit of being very
strong, or, as we should term it, very
rank. Care is further taken that no one
with capital at command shall be sui
fered to open tobacco shop.
The whole scheme works out as W.
might expect. There is small chance
anywhere, and only between bad an
worse 1t would, perhaps, do somethia
to reconcile the English working-ma'
to his lot in life if he had the means
comparing his position with that OF hi
fellow in France. The Englishman ha
not only higher wages and shorter hour
of work, but he can also purchase a
threepence an ounce kind OF Tobacco
by no means of the highest quality, BIT
nevertheless far superior to any whic
either French workman or Il Frcne
millionaire can hope for in his ow
country We do not know what valu

IN Educated Parrot That Got usrsri

Our next door neighbor, writes cor

amusing parrot which is always gettin

When she has done any thing for whicI

she promenades back and forth on tn

One morning hen strayed out of th'

~ her breakfast, when Poll marched II
o her and called out "Shoow in he

Ter own quarters, running as fast as SD

''Shoow at every step.
A few days later Poll extended he'

Here, with her usual curiosity, she wcnl
peering into every corner, till she CAM
to the old hen on her nest. The her
made dive for Polls yellow head, bu
missed it. Poll, thinking discretion tn,
better part of valor, turned to run, the
hen, with wings wide spread, following
close after.
AS she ran, Poll screamed in he'
shrillest tones: so Lord! o Lord!'
A member Of the family. who had
witnessed the performance, thought il
time to interfere in Polls behalf, as the
angry hen was gaining on her, He RAJ
out and STOPPING down held out hi
hands. Poll lost no time in travelling
to his shoulder. Then from her higi

down on her foe, screamed: Hello there

The frightened hen returned to he

a New RefrIserant.

Chloride OF methyl is useful as a
local refrigerator, but requires an ex-
pensiye apparatus to utilise it. DR..
Redard, of Geneva, has therefore
substituted chloride OF ethyl in pro-
ducing local anesthesia by refrigera-
tion. 1t is a colorless liquid of an
agreeable odor, and is contained in a
sealed tube OF glass. When the point
of the tube is broken of with pincers,
the liquid is allowed TO escape in a jet
directed on the part to be cooled.
The jet can be readily stopped by the
finger or little wax Each tube
holds 10 grammes OF the ethyl, a
quantity sufficient for most opera
tons. Dr. Redard has found it useful
in cases OF sciatiea, neuralgia, and
toothache. The new refrigerGnt is
likely to be serviceable in the laborn-
tory. II the Jet be directed on tube

THE cLovEN HooF.
Peculiar Mark Found Upon the Body of
Segress.


Segress.
Southern papers tell OF mystery
that is confronting the citizens of
Thibodeaux. La. and exciting the
superstitious beyond measure. Nam
Rhea, an old negress OF this place,
and reputed witch. died recently,
after u prolonged illness, and was
found after death to have one temple
marked with the image of a cloven
hoof Nam Rhea was believed by the
negroes TO have sold herself to his
Satanic majesty for money. and. in
decd. the old woman was always well
supplied with comforts and small
change from some revenue. which she
persistently refused to make public.
She lived solitary life. held little
communication with anyone, and had
been ill for some time before anyone
knew OF it. but upon learning her need
OF ministration the women of her race
flochled around about her and she died
surrounded by a crowd. whose pres
ence she was unable to resent. These
stayed about her. prepared the body
for burial. and are willing to swear
that it was not alone for a single mo-
ment from the time death ensued to
the finding of the mysterious mark on
her temple. The image appeared to
have been burned in with acid or trac-
ed with pencil dipped in caustic
which DR.. Osborne, who was with her
when she died. and declares she bore
no such mark then, says must have
been done after death.
The women. however who perform
ed the last Offices have all been exam
ined separately and cross-examined
carefully. but are mistaken and unani-
nous in their testimony that such {
thing was impossible of execution
without their knowledge The COM
munity is greatly divided in opinion
on the affair. many believing that the
negroes have either forsworn them
selves and are cognizant of the hand
that traced the mark. or must have
left the body for a time, when it was
done, while the more ignorant are con-
vinced that Nam Rhea's dark master
left his signature thus.

Proximity of stars.

Years ago it was supposed that Sir
ius was nearer the earth than any
other star, and its light requires over
three years to reach us. Now, how
ever Alphy Centauri, a comparative
ly insignificant star OF the southern
heavens, is known to be the nearest
neighbor, and Sirius is so far removed
that the human mind fails to grasp
thedistanee when expressed in miles.
The fact that light requires from sew
entesn TO twenty years to cross the
space between ur little earth and
this giant orb Is scarcely more easy to
comprehend. II one would appreci-
ate the maguiBcence OF this most bril-
liant OF suns. he should not think OF it
as near, but rather let his mind make
the vain attempt to follow a ray of
light thither. as it travels on, unweHr-
led, day and night, at the rate of1S6,-
600 miles a second for twenty years.

Ills Ranirod Cure.

A young doctor in Piscataquis coun-
ty has covered himself with glory by
introducing a startling and novel fea-
ture in medics says the Lewiston
Journal.
1t appears that woman in that
county got fish bone far enough down
in her throat to scare her into hys-
terics, but not far enough down to
feel entirely comfortable. The afore-
said young physician was nearest at
hand and was summoned in hurry.
He looked the patient over carefully
and wisely and started for the wood
shed. There was the handle OF bow
whip in a corner With this in hand
he made tracks for the patient To
the anxious husband he made known
that he was going to come the ramrod
act and shove that refractory bone
where it properly should go
The man objected, and so did the
woman, more enthusiastically
''In the first place said the former.
that handle is too large"
"'Oh. Wen fix that easily enough.
confidently predicted the doctor; "I'll
just saw that handle off up at this
ferrule."
But even this delicate concession did
not suit the scruples of that refractory
husband. I've heern tell OF duin'
that to a COW with a turnip stuck in
her gullet, but I'll be burned ef I'll let
you try it on my wife. Guess you'll
have to conjure up some other plan,
docln
But doc couldn't and another phys
ician was hunted up who removed the
bone without recourse to ramrods.

room with n bath, and two rooms for
his attendants. The Emperor's apart
ments are beautifully panelled, the
ceiling being adorned with paintings
on wood by a well-known artist. One
car is for the suite and another fur
nishes dining and smoking rooms. The
kitchen car has a large range, water

"Seventy-three miles an hourl"
That's what n Worcester, Mass, in
ventor claims is the speed which rid

it safe to laugh at this nlani Let us
see. Twenty miles an hour was deem
ed impossible only few years ago;
2 20 for the mile was scoffed at, as be-
ing beyound the range OF possibilities
few months ago, and yet these per-
tormances are now known to be very
much within the bounds of reason to-
day; Yet in spite OF these facts | i'm
agine it will be perfectly safe to risk a
very loud chuckle at the claim of sew
enty-threc miles an hour on any man

the machine, to my unmechanical
mind, is vague. and all can seem to
grasp IS that it is one big wheel with
two rims and the rider sits suspended
