Japan,s Father Damien.

: There is now Father Damien in
 Japan. He is French priest, says the London Daily News, named Testevuide, who first became interested in the lepers through the case of a poor Japanese woman, whom he tended when she was abandoned by her husband and was left,
 blind and miserable, in a species of hut above the wheel of an old rice mill
 Touched by the wretchedness of this woman, Father Testevuide hired a house near the village of Gotemba, some distance from Yokohama, at the foot of the Fujiyarue mountain, and converted it into 8 leper hospital. Since then he has established regular leper settlement on land between the mount aims of Hakone and Fujiyama. A for mer resident in Japan, a graduate of Cambridge University, to whom the de- voted missionary is personally known, sends us an account of the humble set clement and desires US to state for the benefit of those who are interested in work of this character that the founder of the settlement is Rev. G. Testevuide; French church, Yokohama, Japan.

Married Thirty-six Times.

A native Japanese paper mentions a case Of man, aged forty this year, liv- ing in the province Of Bizen, who has married and divorced thirty-five wives, and is now married to the thirty-sixth He was first married at eighteen, and the reason assigned for this extraordi- nary example of inconstancy is that he has a younger sister of extremely jeal- ous and rancorous disposition, who from the moment that bride enters the house institutes a system of perse- cution which soon drives the unhappy woman to ask her husband for a di- vorce. The husband is helpless to re- strain the vagaries of his sister, and can not turn her out, so the wretched business goes on year after year. The native chronicler adds a circumstance which is improbable even in the East. He says that in two cases the brides, ar irving at the door of their future home, changed color and, declaring that they recognized the house as one where they had already passed some months of most miserable wedlock, fed without further barley.

AN ENGINE ON A GOLD PIECE.
Smallest Force Generators on Record-A
 Three-DrOp Boiler.

Smallest Force Generators on Record A
 Three-DrOp Boiler.
 The smallest engine we have any rec ord of is that made by D. A. Buck, of Waterbury, Conn. The engine, boiler, governor and pumps all stand on a space 7-16 of an inch square and are about 5S of an inch high. The engine has 14S dis tinct parts, held together by 53 screws. Three drops of water fills the boiler to overfowing. The diameter of the cylin- der is 1-26 of an inch, the length of stroke 3-33 of an inch. The whole en- zine weighs but grains, not including base-plate.
 Levi Taylor, an ingenious mechanic of Indianola, Ia., has constructed an engine almost equal to the Waterbury wonder. This pygmy was on exhibi- ton at the Centennial at Philadelphia in 1876. It is built on Q twenty-five cent gold piece, the whole outft'weigh- ing but fraction over three grains.
 It must have been quite 8 contrast to the enormous Corliss engine when on exhibition in the same building. Tay- lor's engine, while not as small as that made by the Waterbury mechanic, is a wonder that will be better appreciated when the reader is informed that it would take 146 such engines to weigh one ounce avOirdupoiS.

Mrs. Edlson's Domestic Life.

Mrs Edison, wife of the inventor, is quite a fine musician, and she and her step-children constantly practice to- gether. Her home life is very simple and quiet one. Mrs. Edison has her houselzeeping-to which she gives her personal supervision-her music and her social duties, as well as intercourse with her husband and children, to oc- cupy her time. Her connection with her husbands work is shown by the close manner in which she follows his inventions, step by step, and in the in- terest with which she appreciates their discovery, improvements and compile tion. In appearance she is very youth Iui and charming. Her complexion is olive, her mouth firm, teeth good and eyes a shade darker than the hair, which is brown, abundant and wavy, and is worn parted over her forehead in a peculiarly becoming way. She dresses handsomely and well, and looks what she is-the simple, quiet wife of great and successful man,

4 "AARo.uPn MILLIONAIRE.
An Instance of the Hardships of Wealthy @ Men.


 Men.
 Can millionaire be ''hard up?'' I never supposed that such a thing was possible until the other day, says New York Star writer, when I met in lower Broadway 8 prominent gentleman whose wealth, expressed in Arabic fig ures, runs into seven numbers. This gentleman is resident of near by New England city, and is prominent in railway matters and well known for his charitable works. He carried a large valise, and when stopping to chat with him I casually asked if he was about to take a journey. He laughed, and told me that he was only going as far as the office of big trust company in the street, and added that the bag contained a lot of railroad and other bonds. ''The fact is,'' added he, 'I have to borrow some money. You see," he continued, ''some years ago built waterworl1s system in a new town up in Washington Territory. The plant was ample to supply place of five to ten thousand inhabitants and a good paying investment. Somehow, people crowded into that region so fast that, before knew where I stood, the place had grown from six or seven thousand souls to nearly twenty thousand. I have to enlarge the works to meet this existing demand and to provide for the fifty thousand inhabitants who will be there inside of two or three years. It costs heap of money to do so, and to tell you the truth, keeps me hard up for the time being" left my million aire friend trudging in the direction of the trust company with his securities and fell into reflection on the burdens and disadvantages of wealth.

i Monster Trap.

X few weeks ago European papers mentioned the apparently incredible fact that the fishermen cf the Lofroden islands on the west coast of Norway had entrapped end captured one thou sand whales. The report seemed found cd on some mistake of the cable-tele- graphist, but it now appears that the total number of the captured monsters was one thops2ad one hundred and twcnty-two. They were cetaceans of the variety k.Ekyn as "eaning whales from fifteen to twenty-five feet long, and had boon trapPel by following a shoal of herring through the narrow entrance of Q land-locked bay.

Butter at One Dollar q Pound.

Butter at one dollar a pound seems pret- ty high, but there is one grade brought to the Washington market which ''fetches'' that money. As may be surmised, how ever, the demand for such butter is linn tied. Only few families use it, chief among them being those of the many times millionaire Senators from Cali fornia, Stanford and Hearst. The but ter in question is a brand of peculiar excellence, made at Darlington, Pa. It is worked until it is uncommonly firm and dry. That it is worth one dollar pound, however, may well be doubted. Only twenty or thirty pounds a week are sold. There are other grades of gilt-edged butter that sell at sixty, fifty, forty-fve and forty cents respectively. The forty-cent grade is used at the White House and is very good. The fifty-cent and sixty-cent grades are made in Philadelphia from selected cream and are considered very fine arti- cles. The butter which is sold at the White House is from Elgin, III. Large quantities of the best butter sold in Washington come from the West. First-rate butter can be had there at thirty-fve cents and very good grade is quoted at twenty-five.

oEussia Disapproves of Emigration.

The Government. authorities of the Polish Lithuanian and Volhynian prov inces have enacted stringent measures for the prevention of emigration. The border guards have been reinforced by strong military detachInents, and orders have been given to them to intercept the emigrants and to send them back to the interior. But the push of emigra- tion is so strong among the peasants that nothing'can avail, Where twenty or thirty emigrants are caught and re- turned hundred others find means to escape the vigilance of the guards. There seems to be a settled conviction among the peasants and the mechanics of those provinces that there is no rest and no security for them in Russia, and that in Brazil they will find both. Two causes are assigned for the emigration fever-the interference of the Govern nent with the management of the Cath olic and the Protestant churches and the greed of landowners and of manufact- urers who oppress the laborers. All
 the Russian papers are full of accounts of emigration incidents and of sugges- tions to stem the tide of emigration.

No notes should circulate as money except
such as have the sanction, authority and guaran-

Is certificates, based upon gold and silver Of
value equal to the notes outstanding. Nor
should any distinction be made between gold
and silver. Both should be received at their
market value in the markets Of the world.
Their relative value varies from day to day, and
there is no power strong enough to establish
fixed ratio Of value except the concurrence Of
the chief nations Of the world. We coin both
