BARNUM's MAGNIFICENT MONUMENT.

DAM W vi . haNNIFiC hoNCMENI
Hon 2. Il. Barnum, who is better known
as the greatest Snowman in the whole
world, whose name is familiar in every
household on earth and known to the
people of Bridgeport as the father of this
city, is recuperating at his elegant home,
Marina, overlooking Long Island sound.
Madison Square Garden, New York city,
has been rebuilt and re-fitted with far
better accommodations than in former
years, yet the building is taxed to its ut
most capacity to accommodate the inn
mense crowds of people anxious to wit
ness the Greatest ON Earth with its thous-
ands of new attractions, secured at an
enormous outlay of time and money. His
partner and equal owner, James A. Bail
ey, who is in every way Snowman, is
constantly on hand during the entire sea-
son and, like Mr. Barnum, is more than
careful that the Greatest on Earth shall
not lose any of its gigantic proportions
nor the high standard it now sustains,
with its capital of $3,000,0O0, its daily
expenses of $1,000, employing 1900 peo-
pie and $50 horses. 1t would not seem
necessary that the great Snowman, in
his 8lst year, should be constantly with
the show, but might visit it at the princi-
pal cities, during its trip through the
East. this season. While at home, Mr.
Barnum must do something with the
money made by him and his Greatest
Show on Earth, which has completely
revolutionized the whole show business.
AS monument of his beneficence and
charitable character, he has presented to
the scientific and historical societies
magnificent building and lot on Main
street and has given orders to Architects
Longstaff & Hurd to complete it in as
short time as possible. The architect
ural style Of the building is pure Roman
esque and one that seems especially
adapted for such a building, affording
ample opportunity for artistic ornament
alton. The treatment of the great dome
at the angle of the streets is especially
good, the recessed balconies on either

THE CLIMATE.

One of the chief questions asked, and
often the. first is, "What yonr climate ?"
Well, many thingsl 1t is not perfect, but
probably as nearly so as YOU will find on
this earth. During the winter OF 1S90-91
we had no snow up to the first of Febru-
airy, and then only Al few days of cold and
a light coating OF snow. The coolest night
known the therm Jmeter stood at eighteen
degrees above zero.
The rainy season begins about the first
of December and is over by the
middle OF April. This is our winter and
during this time thu rains are no heavier
than in the month of April in the middle
states. Over half OF the days between
these dates are as warm and balmy as the
first OF June in most states north of
Mason and Dixon's line" Yards are
green, house plants bloom in the open
air, all kinds OF out doo- occupations are
pursued every day in the year. We
have no dangerous winds, no billiards.,
no sudden changes from heat to cold, and
heavy ,hunder is unknown.
There are no hot days in summer, the
average register of the thermometer being
about ffty-eight degrees, and showers are
frequent enough to render absolutely sure
the maturing of any crop that is planted.

Among other important canal projects,
one which OF late attracted considerable
local attention, is the plan for the water
connection of Pittsburg with Lake Erie.
The route has been several times sur
veyed, but the exact course which wonld
be most practical has not yet been fully
determined. The matter was recently
reported upon by a PENNSYLVANIA State
commission, and the cost OF such a car a
was put at 81. 900 900 Pittsbnrg is now

what 1t Costs Rich People to live.

Mr.! Ward McAllister's latest contri-
button to current literature undertakes
to tell what it costs to live in upper ten
dom. His figures are rather startling.
He tells us, for example, that
he knows of at least four men
in this country who spend annually
100000 year. This includes their
charities and the interest on the capital
invested in their town and country
houses. Then there are about thirty men
who spend from 100000 to $3.50, a
year, though Mr. McAllistcr tells us
these men are really no happier than
the man who lives on SG5, GOO, which Mr..
McAllister thinks about the right figure
to enable a man to maintain his cstab-
lishment in style and dispense elegant
hospitality. AS for the average fashion

Odd Fish.

A remarkable fish was recently
caught on the coast of England. It was
three-fourths of pound in weight. It's
head was like that of a pike, and from
the gills to the tail on each side was a
bright blue band. the tail fins were
also bright blue and a network Of
blue lines spread itself over the head
and part of the body The oldest fish,
ermen OF the place declared they had
never seen its equal before. The Ital-
ian consul at Belfast, who ives passin,,
thorough the town, purchased it with
the idea OF presenting it to the Belfast
museum.

There is a lawyer in this city who

Should callers be present talking con-
hdcntially on business matters, there is
sudden whizz and bang from side to

his visit in sudden aerial fight through
the open doorway. The visitor (the
human onc) is scared almost to death
on recognizing what made the noise.
But the lawyer is not He knows it is

aging for his dinner. And now he is
dashing impetuously back and forth in
gradually shortening chords in front Of
the two windows. Watch his tactics.
His presence has caused tho greatest
CONSERVATION among the big colony of
household flies baslsing in the sunny
window corners. There is panic
among them. They buzz loudly, dash
ing up and down in their frantic move
ments as their relentless enemy draws
nearer at each sweep of his fight. I'm
doubtedly the hornet is closely scan
ming the pack of flies in order to select
the plumpcst and largest among them
for his prey. There he goes with a
bump at the window. There is mo-
mentary struggle and one almost fam
cics he hears squeal. The hornet has
secured his dinner. In one wide cir
cling sweep Of his pinions he sails
proudly around the room and bears off
the fated fly to the neighboring mud or
paper, where Mrs. Crabro grimly awaits
her spouse's arrival. The lawyer in
formed the reporter that he often in

for neighborly visit, or else with
wicked feeling of spite against the poor
fat flies. He Gmuses himself for five
minutes just soaring them, and then
flies off without taking any prey. 1t
can generally be told, however, when
he is hungry. Then he comes in with
loud impetuous hum and 6ashcs straight
for the flies. Once by accident he was

found him in the morning flying around

a SOAP EATER.
The Remarkable Appetite Possessed by .
Connecticut Woman.


The Remarkable Appetite Possessed by .
Connecticut Woman,
should like to place on record, says
q correspondent of the Medical Record,
the history of the following case of q
mania for soap eating, which, believe,
deserves the coinage of the word sapes-
somania, or mania for eating soap.
Hrs J., aged twenty-nine, Of Dam
bury, Conn.,, consults me in reference
to an irritable stomach Of long stand
Ing. She gives the following details:
When about three years of age she first
enjoyed mouthful of bar sonp So
agreeable was the taste that she would
eat it whenever she could get it. :"
When aged five years her mother found
her, spoon in hand, eating soft soap
with keen relish. AS she grew in years
SO did her yearniDg for soap; her father
brought home to the other children
sweetmeats, but to equally satisfy her
a piece from common bar soap must be
given. Until she was eleven her sapes-
somania continued. When awake she
loved to handle it and smell of it and
eat of it. When asleep she dreamed of
soap. Often, to pacify her, a piece Of
soap was given to her to hold in her
hand to soothe her to sleep, when she
continued in her imagination still to
eat SOAP At eleven her stomach
burned her so that she stopped her
habit, but still continued to love to
handle and to think of eating the great
delicacy. When twenty three, or twelve
years after her last feast, an advertis-
ing agent left at her door a five-cent
bar of bathroom soup, which pleased
her so much that she ate it all in twen-
ty-four hours. Since then she has
eaten none, although there is always
the desire to do SO. To-day, did not her
stomach forbid, the yearning to ''eat
some more" would be irresistible.
Though she can no longer eat it she
still loves to handle it; she loves to use
plenty of it in her housewor,, and in
her bathroom. The smell of it is still
sweet to her nostrils, and the thick
suds she delights in reminds her of the
days gone by never to return. Strange
to say, she cares only for the coarse
bar soap; fancy soaps she never uses.
Personally she is of nervous tempera-
mcnt, yet evidently woman of much
self control. She asserts that her
mania is as strong to-day as it was
years ago, though she has tasted soap
but once in eighteen years. Despite
her statement, however, | believe she
is still eating the little amount of soap
which her irritable stomach will allow
her.

Tho EabIs of Persia.

The Babis Of Persia, whom the shah
has determined to exterminate and some
OF whom have recently been strangled
at fezd, are a heretical sect of Mo.
hammedans and are not very numerous
In Persia, but are greatly disliled by
the orthodox and have always been sub
1ected to persecution. They are follow
ers OF Mira Ali Mohammcd, who about
half century ago proclaimed himself
the Bab-ed-Din or "Gate of the Faith" "
and who was executed in 1850, after he
had excited a rebellion against the
shah. Besides their hetcrodoxy in reli-
gion the Babis advocate the doctrine of
community Of property.
