Not Arrested.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 11.-There is
one man in Columbia who on Thurs
day had nerve enough to defy the
state. His name is w. b. Meetz, a sa-
1oonkeeper. Meetz was selling rice
beer in the state fair grounds and was
ordered by Gov. Til1man to close up
his booth and decamp. which he
refused to do. also warning the gov
ernor that the first man who crossed
his bar to arrest him would be filed
full of holes For time it looked as
if a riot would ensue, but wiser council
prevailed and the governor and his
state constables took their departure
and allowed Meetz to sell his rice beer
unmOleSted.

The Wild Monkeys of Europe.

The monkeys of Gibraltar rock are
said to enjoy the rare distinction of being
the only monkeys in Europe not kept in
captivity. How did they come therel
This question used to puzzle scientific
men. 1t was once thought they were
the descendants of some monkeys that
had been brought over from Africa
hundreds of years since, but now it is
agreed that they found footing in
Europe long, long before Spain as Spain
was ever heard of. Before the sea wore
away the land and made what is called
the strait of Gibraltar, Europe and
Africa were joined together, and animals
roamed from one spot to another as they
pleased.
When the time came, however, that
the strip of land was at last swallowed
up by the greedy ocean, the strong cur
rent prevented creatures that were not
at home in the water from crossing to
and fro as they were wont to do.
Among the unfortunates whose wander
ings were thus unexpectedly cut short
were many African monkeys, and the
rock monkeys of the present day-whose
numbers it may be addict are growing
less and less-are undoubted descend
ants of those prehistoric fellows. OF
course it follows that the Barbary apes
the monkeys living on the African side
of the strait-are the first cousins OF the
occupants of Glib"

Paramne Floors.

M. Burd, of Lyons, has stopped abso.
lutely the sweeping of floors in hospital
wards. He has the floors covered with
a coat of solution Of para6ne in petro-
leum, which makes them impermeable to
anything and gives them brown tint.
A single application lasts two years.
Thus prepared the floors stand very well
wiping every day with damp cloth,
molstened with some antiseptic solution.
The same process can be applied with
advantage to barracks, school rooms and
other places. In private dwellings, where
the floors are covered with carpet, there
should be substituted for the ordinary
sweeping the use of mechanical brushes,
which, instead of making the dust fly.

can be thrown into the fire, the great

mode of sweeping is especially requisite
in the lower stories of houses, since
microbean germs are found in greatest
numbers in the lower layers of the at
mosphere. They are ten times more
numerous in the center of Paris in the
vicinity of the Seine. than on higher
ground. In every house, considered
separately, the air of the upper stories

STARTLING are the official statistics that
have Just been published in Germany
concerning the number of suicides in
various armies of the old world, AMI
they are regarded by the Omaha Bee as
striking illustration of the unpopular
ity of obligatory military service. 1t
seems that in Austria the average rate
for the year is 13l per 100, 900 men. The
French come next, with ninety-two sui
cides per annum for each 100, 900 men.
The German government gives its rate
at sixty-eight, but these figures are gen.
orally believed TO be below the actual
number, as the impression prevails in
military circles throughout Europe that
the suicides in the German are more fire.
quent even than in that OF Austria.
ltaly's quota is given at forty Live, while
that of Russia does not exceed twenty,
figure that is obviously far below the
/ truth. Belgium gives its rate at twenty
| four, Spain at fourteen, and England at
twenty three, most of the suicides In
the British army occurring out IN lndla.
A remarkable fact is that, notwithstand
ing the majority of suicides are popu-
| larly believed to be attributable to
tyranny on the part of the officers, yet
it is precisely among the officers that the
largest number of self-inf1icted victims
is to be found. The favorite method OF
suicide is by shooting, either with a
rifle or a revolver Next comes drown
ing, and after that hanging, while of late
large number of officers and men have
taken their lives by throwing themselves
in front Of railway trains. 1t has also
been noted that, whereas the smallest
number of suicides takes place in the
winter, the largest number occurs in the
broiling hot months If July and August.

Shooting a Lion.

Then from behind the camel NeHe
came huge gray thing. 1t was the lion,
but too far for a certain shot. AS he
crouched with extended paws and ele-
waited back, his head near the ground,
and plaring at me in defiance. slowly
raised nv rifle for careful shot, for he
seemed upon the point of charging. But
as I did so he turned. and numbered OIL,
and the shot despatched to hasten his
movements only struck the sand. Then
began the chase My horse was out of
sight behind, but was soon in the sao-
die and away. Meantime the two mount
ed natives had taken up the chase, and
after running the lion for two miles, he
went to bay in a thicket OF mimosa trees.
Branishing their spears, and keeping at
respectful distance on their active little
horses, the men hurled at him what were
no doubt the most insulting and scornfuI
epithets. Fara came up as l was dis
mounting, just in time to hold my horse.
As | approached the clump of trees,
rifle in hand, it was a moment or two be-
fore could distinguish the lion; when l
did so he was crouching full length be-
hind manystemmed mimosa, facing
me, and evidently in charging mood, as
he was swaying his body and working
his tail from side to side with great i'm
petuosity. AS walked round outside
the clump to get thanking shot, he kept
turning and facing me. SO at last sat
down and fired twice at his head between
the stems; and reloading like lightning,
rested the rifle ON bush, and fired
once more. Upon receiving this shot, he
left his bush and came straight at me as
fast as possible, without giving me time
reload the right barrel. When he was
about five yards of, | gave him my last
barrel in the chest, and jumped aside,
and instantly everything was hidden in
cloud of dust My last shot had
broken his charge, and caused him to
swerve round. When the dust settled,

but badly hit; he was my lion now, aud,
running up to within easy range, | put
two bullets into his shoulder, which
finished him. Century.

IRISH MUSIC.
Its Effect on the Character of the
People.

Music is a language whose notes are
most touching in sorrow and most
mighty in anger The sublimest thoughts
that ever told the history of past long
dead; or, peering into the future, shaped
the doctrines of the unborn, found form
in the sweet rise and fall of musics ten
derest cadences. They were sung in
court and camp and hall; they sank into
the souls of peoples, stirring the brave,
praising the fair, soothing the sad. Now
they were solemn hymn OF praise to
God again they were a joyous melody
for society; and then they were mourn
full dirge over the departed dead. This
is true of the songs of Greece, or when
the Troubadours kindled chivalry by the
banks of the Rhone, or the more north
ern Ministries reused to war the unpeace-
full heart of the Vikings What music
was in Ireland ana amongst the Irish?
Thomas Davis wrote in one of his essays
in the Nation. Listen to his bold, noble
words:
''No enemy speaks slightingly of Irish
music and no friend need fear to boast
of it. 1t is without rival Its antique
war tunes, such as those of O'Byrne,
O'Donnel, Alestrom, and Brian Boru,
stream and crash upon the ear like the
warriors of a hundred glens meeting
and you are borne with then to battle,
and they and you charge and struggle
amid cries and battle-aXes and singing
arrows Did ever a wall make mans
marrow culver and fill his nostrils with
the breath of the grave, like the ululu
of the north or the wirrasthrue of Mum
ster2 Stately are their slow, and reck-
lessly splendid their quick marches, their
'Boyne Water and 'Sios agus sios
liom, their Michael Hoy, and Gallant
Tipperary.' The Irish jlgs and planxties
are not only the best dancing tunes, but
the finest quick marches in the world.
Some of them would cure paralytic and
make the marble-legged prince in the
Arabian Nights charge like a Pagan
Bealach boy. The hunter joins in every
leap and yelp of the Fox Chase; the
historian hears the moan of the pena
days in Drimidhu,' and sees the EN-
barkation of the Wild Geese in IimericR

breath does not come and go with

Alcohol and SparrOws.

The English spprrows have proved a
nuisance in the cotton country, for as
soon as the bolls open they pick out the
cotton and carry it off, and some planters
have lost, as they claim, hundreds Of
pounds in this way. There is one man,
however, in De Witt County that has
not lost much. When he found the
sparrows were committing depredations
he procured quantity of wheat, soaked
it in sweetened whiskey, and strewed it
along the rows. The sparrows found it,
and thought they had picnic. So they
had, but in fifteen or twenty minutes
there was the tipsiest lot of English
sparrows ever seen on the face of the
earth. They rolled about the ground,
falling on their sides and back and kick
ing their heels into the air like a parcel
of drunkards, all the while uttering the
most comical squeaks. They did not
have long to squeak, however. for the
boys gathered them up and threw them
into bags. The first day they gathered
two bushels of drunken sparrows. Three
or four days later the experiment was re-
peated with almost equal success, and
from time to time since. They made ex-
cellent potpie, but the survivors have
come to regard the plantation as hoo
dooed, as now very few come about it. -

Two North Poles.

1t can be properly said that there are
two north poles. The geographical
north pole Ohe place where all degrees
of longitude intersect and where there is
no latltude) and the north magnetic
pole, the latter being the needles attrac-
ton. The first mentioned or geographi-
eel pole is fixed and constant, but the
magnetic is constantly changing posi-
ton, and at the rate it is now travelling
will make a complete circuit of the geo
graphical pole about once in every $40
years. Observations on this point were
first made from the Greenwich observa-
tory in 1868, at which date the magnetic
pole was on that meridian. During the
last 235 years it has crossed the Atlantic
ocean and is now well on its journey
across the northern part of the American
continent. At the present time it is on
or near the southwestern shore of Boothia
peninsula, at about seventy-six degrees
north latitude.

Wind Power.

An interesting note in the Electrician
on wind power says mat some years ago
an attempt was MADE, under the auspices
of the Due de Feltre and NJ. |. Vigreux,
to drive the dynamos at the Pointe de
la Heve lighthouse by wind power. The
wind, however, as is its custom, blew
when and where 1t listed, and ended one
fine, or rather one stormy, day by over
throwing the ungainly apparatus in
stalled on the exposed headland. NJ.
Max de Nansouty, in abiding to this
attempt to harness the wind, suggests
that the next time a similar attempt is
made it would be as well to try the effect
of surrounding the atmospheric tur-
bines" by strong towers, and directing
the wind onto the vanes by noZzles in
much the same way as the water is
directed onto the buckets of Pelton
wheel. This idea of "canalising" air
currents is, it is said, actually engaging
the attention of windmill experts.
