DISTRESS IN ENGLAND.
The Army Getting Rapidly Filled with Men Out of Work.

The Army Getting Rapidly Filled with X Men Out of Work.
 Nine-tenths of those who enlist in the British army are driven to do so by extreme want. It is the last resource against starvation or the workhouse, and they take the oath to defend her most gracious majesty and frustrate her enemies as the only means of securing food and shelter. The magnitude of the present distress in Great Britain may therefore be realized when the off cial returns show that recruiting for the army has not for many years past been so brisk as at the present moment; that all the cavalry regiments are over their strength, and that the line regi- ments are fast filling up. The supply is so great, indeed, that doctors and off cers are steadily rejecting the weakly lads they were glad enough to secure a few months ago and are picking out just the sturdiest of the applicants. The residuum sink back to the slums and join that other great army, the unem- ployed.
 The harvest of England's Christmas charity has failed to adequately relieve the multitude of destitute during the late bitter frost. Painful stories of patient suffering under the most distressing conditions are daily made known, and more than one cor oner's jury has of late returned a yer dict of death from destitution.

TO CURB BRITISH SWEARING.
An old Statute Against Profanity Put in
 Force in England.

An Old Statute Against Profanity Put in
 Force in England.
 Some time ago the suggestion was made in one of the London newspapers that a soclety should be formed to sup press the growing evil and scandal of street profanity. It was generally ad- mitted that English towns were dis gracefully preeminent in the matter of cursing and swearing in public places and that English street loafers pos sessed probably the foulest mouths in all christendom. The proposal came to nothing for various reasons, one of which was that it would be as unpopu- lar and dangerous to interfere with the English workmen's privilege to curse whenever he felt that way inclined as to meddle with his right to get drunk. 1t has been tardily discovered that the statute book actually contains an act passed in the reign of George II. ''for the suppression of profanity" and the law was put in force the other day at Wehbech. The act is delightfully."- com prehensive, the only defect being the absence of a schedule of oaths and an :appraisement of their comparative wickedness. Penalties are imposed ac- cording to the social position of offend CTS. The scale is one shilling per oath when uttered by a laborer, two shil- lings when the sinner is above labor CT and under the degree of a gen. tleman, and five shillings when spoken by anyone above the de- gree of a gentleman. The punishment is applicable whether the offense be committed in the public street or in mans own house, which seems some what restrictive of the liberty of the subject and opens possibilities of do- mestic complications. The Wehbech case, however, was perfectly simple. The prisoner uttered four wicked words in the public street, and, being a mere laborer, was ordered to pay shilling per oath and thirteen shillings costs.

SALTPS PRIMITIVE VILLAGERS.

Curious Conditions Prevailing in a Re-
 mote Corner of the Island Of Sardinia.
 Not long ago the inhabitants of the town of SaIti, in the island of Sardinia, petitioned the Italian government for g. separate municipal existence, it being a part of Budduso, which is forty miles away. A commission was sent to make inquiries, and this remarkable report was made:
 ''Salti has no town council, no police, no clergyman, no physician. It pos sesses no post office, no church or chap el, no school, no registrars office. On the maps of the kingdom, although it contains twelve hundred inhabitants, it is not marked, yet the state receives taxes from the people, but sends no tax collector to receive them. The tax payers journey sixty kilometres every eight weeks to pay taxes. Once year in May all the children born during the year are taken to Budduso and there baptized. The dead are buried in the most primitive manner and without any trace of religious rites. Marriages are conducted on the same system without any formality or ceremony and are declared later on to the registrar or parish priest, sometimes long after they have be en blessed with issue. Vaccina- ton and medicine are only known from hearsay. The children grow up with out schooling or instruction of any kind"

An Artist Who Couldn't Understand Vast
 ing Money ou Telescopes.
 One of the foreign artists at present st work at the fair grounds accepted an invitation the other day to inspect the art collection of Mir. Charles T. Yerkes, says the Chicago correspondence of Town Topics. This particular artist is by birth Hollander, and is an ardent ad- mirer of the Dutch school.
 After inspecting and adniring the contents of the art gallery in the cable railway magnate's Michigan avenue mansion. the artist told Mir. Yerkes of a magnificent picture that he knew of in Amsterdam, the price of which was unfortunately beyond the reach of any one man, but which he could not help thinking would prove magnificent ad- dition to the collection.
 "I do not know how rich a man you are, Mir. Yerkes,' he said, mournfully, "but O, if you could only buy that worky'
 Mir. Yerles asked the value of the picture, and the artist, with great deli cacy, declined to tell it to him in his own house, after receiving his hospi- tality, but said he would let hiHl know it at future day. On leaving the house the American friend in whose company he had made the visit asked the artist what the price of this wonderful picture really was
 ''Oh, fortune" was the reply, 'sev- eral fortunes-well, say two hundred thousand francs"
 "Why, man," said the other, "that's nothing. Yerkes could buy ten pictures like it and not feel it. Why, do you know he has just given away telescope costing five hundred thousand dollars?" 'Goot Got!'' exclaimed the artist in amazement, ''what will you crazy Americans do next? Fancy spending five hundred thousand dollars to look at the heavens, when for two hundred thousand francs you could buy picture like that to look at all the time!"

 Electricity for Deaf Mutes,

One of the recent medical applica- tions of electricity is in the treatment of deafness. The apparatus for this purpose comprises battery, a belt, an electrode supporter on the belt, and shaped to rest on the ear, and connec- tlons between the electrode and bat tery. This provides a convenient and efficient mode of receiving the current, which can be applied in finely graduated strength Superintendent Johnson. of the deaf and dumb institute at Indian apolis, is reported as having found in a series of experiments that the phono- graph concentrates the sound at the drum of the ear in such a way that many of the pupils, otherwise deaf, are thus enabled to hear. Out of fiftv-six boys and girls, says the New York Telegram, only three girls were unable to hear anything at all, while forty could hear music and twenty-six could distinguish spoken words.

Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive. It's plan of operation is this
 There is pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, g. which is immediately filed thus overbaancing the weight, 1. which is on the other end of lever 5, thus forcing open the gatc which suddenly relieves the canal of large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank; it therefore empties itself by a small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the | weight OYerbalances tank, and brings down the | lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, a hori- zonta shaft. The gate, Hume or bex can be made any height, width, or length desired The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
