4 Bull III Church.

A handsome bull created quite a
sensation in a Newark church, one Of
the largest and most fashionable in
the city, the other day by walking
into the main aisle and taking a view
of the services. 1t was one OF a drov"
that was being taken to the abatt0ir>.
and not caring to 60 in that direction
he chose his own path, much to the
annoyance of the drovers, and went
toward the more crowded portions Of
the city at rafting pace. Arriving
in front of large restaurant he took
it into his head to 90 in. and he went.
The guests and walters at once de-
cided to quit the place, and the bull
at his leisure sampled the food on the
various tables. The proprietor finally
summoned up courage to make a
demonstration. and the bull retired to
The street. He went on until he came
to the church, when he turned and
went in, marched half way up the
aisle aud stood looking about him.
The congregation covered in their
pews. until an elderly gentleman
walked firmly up behind the animal,
took him by his tail and pulled him
out of church. The bull did not OBJ
ject, and by the time he arrived at
the sidewalk the drovers put in an
appearance and took charge of him.

a Successful I.,rt-Ic Carriage.

A recent English invention is said
to come nearer to being the ideal elcc-
trio carriage that anything that has
hitherto appeared. The carriage,
which was recently tested in London,
with most satisfactory results, is in
appearance much like an ordinary
carriage, such as horses are used with,
except that the wheels are smaller
and are furnished with thick pr"u-
matte tires. The framework is slIt
Of woldless steel tubes. The front
pair 81 wheels are controlled by a
tangent screw, which is governed by
a small wheel at the driver side, en-
aiding him to steer the apparatus at
will. The motive power is electricity
which is carried in a series Of accu-
mulatOr cells fitted under the seats.
out OF sight and ont of the way. The
whole machine weighs about 1000
pounds and can make on q good road
speed Of some fifteen miles an hour.
it is said that it will run fifty miles
without being rccharsed and that this
operation is very quickly performed.

4 very curious temperance society
exists in the Siberian village OF Ash
lyka. Every year in September the
members meet in the church and
make solemn promise to abstain
from wine and spirits for a whole
year. They also sign an agreement
that any person breaking the pledge
shall pay fine of % rules to the
church and submit to be spat upon by
his more continent fellows. The most
peculiar feature Of the whole bust
ness, however, is that the members
on the one day OF the year when the
pledge expires allow themselves wine
and brandy during the few hours
which intervene before the pledge for
the ensuing year is made.

Crawfsh and Thunder.

Crawiish. it is said, shed their claws

The impulse, when suddenly alarmed.
is to throw off the heavy claws and

claws at once begin to grow again.

Egyptian Writing.

The Egyptians had tour separate
and distinct styles or forms of writing
the hieroglyphic, the hieratic, the en-
choral and the Coptic. The hero
glyphic was probably in use as early
as the year 1000 B. c., and at first
was made up entirely of pictures.
About the year 1000 B. C. the hieratic
form or style was introduced. In this
the picture hieroglyphics were greatly
simpliied, finally developing into
forms purely linear.

The usual amount Cor days work per man Is sixteen pairs. Of late the men have been making ten pairs. Now, under the new order, they will make but six pairs day, which they can turn out ins three or four hours. There has been no cut in the pay, as some of the afternoon papers yesterday said. It is lessening- of working time in this department. The following dispatch came from Boston last evening:
 Boston, Aug. 9.-AIl the rubber fac tories controlled by the rubber trust will shut down September 1 for two weeks or a month. These different plants employ in the neighborhood of 12,000 or 14,000 people. It is stated in some quarters that this is through lack of orders. though MT. Cutler of the Woonsocket Rubber company, says 1t is to give the employees vacation. Mr. Cutler adds:
 The prices of goods will be advanced the first of September, and we think that during September orders will be light and 1t will be good time to give our employees their annual vacation, as we are obliged to- do. ,

 Milwaukee. Aug. s.-The rebellion against the enforcement of sanitary laws bearing on smallpox cases still continues in this city. The seat of trouble Is the south side and particu- larly the Eleventh ward. The health officers and several aldermen last night ettempted to formulate some plan whereby the laws might be enforced.
 Assured of police protection the health van, with crew of six off- cers went to a house where a child was suffering from the disea e. Inside of ten minutes there was a mob Of 2.OoO people on the scene. There were loud cries and threats against the health department and a few stones were thrown. Before much damage could be done, however. squad of police ar rived. The health officers broke in the door and soon reappeared with the child, which was placed in the van. Guarded by an escort the van passed through the mob and started for the hospital pursued by the crowd. The patient was placed in the hospital be- fore the leaders reached there, but the rioters threatened to overturn the van. Stones were thrown and clubs brand ished. The police finally succeeded in getting the health officers and their conveyance safely back through the crowd.
 At a mass meeting held last night, attended by 5000 persons, inflammatory speeches were made against the health department and Commissioner Kemp Ster,
