The Working Days of Different
Nations forms the subject of some
interesting data given by Polish
s.atistician. Orthodox Russia, with
her numerous saints days and secur
lar holidays, naturally stands at the
head Of the list as the least laborious
of civilized nations.
The names of tho countries enum-
Grated, with the number of their sta
tutory working days, arc thus given:
Interior Russia, 2G7; Canada, 27S;
Scotland, 275; England, 219; Portu
gal, 2S3 Russian Poland. 2SS, Spain,

Belgium, Brazil and Luxembourg,

tenn berg, Switzerland, Denmark and
Norway, 302; Sweden, 30l, Prussia
and Ireland, 305; United States, SOC;
Holland, 30S, and Hungary, 312.
If these figures be approximately
correct, they are, to say the least Of
them, not littlo surprising. While
the orthodox Russian, who knows
his saints calendar by heart, is the
least laborious, the Hungarian car

dustry if he indulge in only one days

Tho Tale of the Telephone.

The first telephone that was ever
used was not electrical nor was it q
scientific Instrument in any sense OF
the term. A little more than so years
ago the employees of large manu-
factory beguiled their leisure hours
by kite flying. Kites large and small
went up daily, and the strife was to
see who could get the largest. The
twine which held them was the
thread spun and twisted by the la
dies of the village
One day to the tale Of the largest
kito was attached kitten, sewed III
a canvas bag, with netting over
the mouth to give it cir. When the
kite was at its greatest heiGht-2o0
feet or more-the mewing could be
distinctly heard by those holding tho
string. To the clearness of the at
mosphere was attributed the hearing
of the kittens voice. This is the first
account we remember of speaking
along a line. sheffield Telegraph.

a Luminous Tree.

One of the most remarkable Of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about II miles north Of Tusclrora.
1t is six or seven feet high, with
trunk which at its base is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist,
1t las numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry. It's truly wonderful char
acteristic is its luminosity, which is
so great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by its light.
Its foliage is extremely rank, and
its leaves resemble somewhat those
Of the aromatic bay tree in shape,
size and color. The luminous prop.
crty is due To gummy substance,
which can h. transferred to the hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer the
phosphorescent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to a parasitic
form. The Indians regard it with
fuperstition and will not come near
it even in daytime They give it u
name which means witch tree. -

Among Women.

There are much SAID about the grow
ing habit of intemperance among women
perhaps more than the facts would war
rant. If this habit exists 1t is owing to
the fact that women are often forced to
perform domestic and social duties un
der great suffering, and by partaking
of liquors for temporary relief or little
protractlon of strength, the habit be-
comes a necessity. If all ladies who
suffer with the complaints peculiar to
their sex. would take Dr.. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription, they would find
natures restorative, and tie evil results
of pernclous drugs and liquors would
be avoided. For all Gases of nervous
and general debility, seeplessness,
spasms. periodical pains, suppressions
and irregularities, it is the only medicine
so certain in curative action that it can
be guaranteed to benefit or cure or

"THE TORNADO n


 For two performances Saturday next 'sThe Tornado'' is the bill. The Chicago Record speaks of this realistic production as follows:
 A tornado behind the footlights and 8 mighty storm of applause from the gallery to the orchestra seats of Havlin's theater were atmospheric disturbances attendant b upon the introduction Of Lincoln J. Car ter's new scenic melodrama. Packed to the doors, the temperature of the house was suggestive of t'The Tornado," and probably for the first time this season the small boy with the palm leaf fan negotiated sale. With rushing, roaring tornado, uprooting trees and carrying away houses; with two vessels collidihg in mid ocean i; with green sea tossing a drowning man high on its great crests, and with a shad- owy corpse with golden hair lying on a dis secting table, there is enough to satisfy the most ardent admirer of the realistic. In five acts the principal characters are taken from little Wisconsin hamlet through almost every danger of land and sea. A dark alley in Chicago and the foot of Ran. dolph street viaduct, with ky-scraping buildings in the background, are bits of scenery. During the course of the play the author was called for vociferously. After a few moments a bearded man in his shirt sleeves stepped before the curtain, bowed and retired amid a storm of ap- plause. As melodrama with great stage properties, "The Tornado" promises suc-

Everything now goes to show that In a short time the Chattanooga Southern will be extended from Gadsden to connect with the East and West. The Chattanooga News has the following in regard to it:

 This morning MT. Eager said the sale would certainly take place on the above named date, and it was generally conceded that the bondholders would bs the pur- chasers and would extend the road some distance south.
