THE WHY OF 1T.

WHITE spots appear on the nails be-
cause the vascular tissue underneath is
attached to the substance of the nail,
but from some accidental cause, such
as a blow, occasionally becomes separ-
ated.
The day after heavy snowfall is
usually very clear because the snow in
falling brings down with it most OF
the dust and impurities of the air and
leaves the atmosphere exceedingly
pure.
A CLOSED room is bad for sleeping,
because air once breathed parts with q
sixth of its oxygen and contains an
equivalent amount of carbonic acid gas;
air breathed six time will not support
life.
PIERCING the flesh with even the
finest needle hurts because the nerves
are so thickly matted just under the
skin that not even the finest point can
be introduced without wounding one or
more.
THE ears of most defenseless animals
like the rabbit are turned backwards,
because these creatures are In con-
slant apprehension Of pursuit; hunting
animals have their ears turned for
ward.

Nano,eon and Home Production.

Napoleon forbade the use of cotton
or of foreign wood for the furniture of
the imperial palaces; he desired that
the people who were invited to the
drawing rooms at court should dress
only in silk, SO as to encourage the
Lyons manufactures. He declared
war on Indian cashmeres, but his
power was impotent against the tyr
amy of fashion and against routine.
The emperor threatened the empress
in vain that he would throw her CASH
mere si1awls into the fire. The empress
used to answer that as soon as they
could give her stuffs as light and warm
as the cashmere woolens she would be
very glad to wear them. The emperor
encouraged the manufacturers OF
French shawls, and commissioned Isa-
hey to make the designs of n magnif-
cent wooden stuff like cashmere, on
white ground, with which a shawl and
a dress were made. Marie Louise wore
them with some reluctance; these
stuffs had not the softness which they
have since acquired. The empress
used to complain with reason that her
dress "griped' whenever she went
near the fire.-Memoirs Baron de Me-
neval.

In.ects In Commences,


The Importance of insects to eona-
merce IL but little known or appre-
ciated among the people of the United
States, but in some parts OF South
America bugs have long been a con-
siderable article in trade. Their wings
are made into artificial flowers, and
some OF the more brilliant varieties are
worn as ornaments in ladies' hair.
While was in Rio Janeiro a couple of
years ago, says traveller, man told
me that he made an excellent living by
selling curious specimens of insects to
the strangers who visit that port. He
Kept twelve slaves constantly employed
in finding the bugs. The nearest APP
proach to this curious business in other
parts of the world is that of the trade
In f1reflies at Havana; the insect being
caught and carefully fed on sugar cane
Is used as an ornament for ladies'
dresses, and when tastefully arranged
gives to the dresses a very pleasing ap-
pearance. Being twice the size Of the
American FREELY, it is very brilliant at
night. The natives catch them on the
plantations and sell them to the city
bellies, some of whom carry them in
tiny silver cages attached to their
bracelets, making sparkling display
in the evening.-St. Louis Republic.

IRRIGATION.


Foreign Delegates Address tho National
Irrigation Convention.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 5.-The delegates
to the national irrigation congress re-
turned from their excursion to the
great agricultural and irrigation dis
tricts around Fort Collins, Greeley and
Boulder yesterday evening. delighted
with what they had seen. Last night
the delegates met at Broadway theater
to listen to addresses by the foreign
delegates.
The first speaker was Hon. j. Ra=
monde Ybarrola, of Mexico, who spoke
on Irrigation in Mexico and Inter
national relations" He said his gov
eminent possessed a large amount OF
arid lands and were equally interested
in the subject of irrigation with the
western states of the United States.
This means of watering agricultural
lands was not, however, in its infancy
in the republic of Mexico. The Aztecs
during the time of Cortez built
immense canals and viaducts for this
purpose which will stand until the end
of time. He believed in the govern
ment control of streams running
of its waters under federal jurisdiction
and Endorsed the resolution introduced
yesterday requesting congress to ap-
point an irrigation commission to con-
fer with like commissions from Mexico
and Canada regarding the distribution
of water from the Rio GraIidc and the
northwest.
Mr.. William Pearce, of Canada, ad-
dressed the congress on irrigation in
the Canadian northwest. Manitoba
and the Northwest" he said, 'are the
only portions of Canada where irriga-
ton is necessary for the cultivation of
crops. Here they have $4,000, 900 acres,
most of which lies at an elevation Of
1000 feet; and when irrigated will
produce great crops Of wheat, oats,
barley and hay and such fruits as ap-
Piles and grapes. The settlers of this
country at present do not believe in
irrigation and will have to be educated
70 it.

1T is said that the car of Russia will
soon undertake to construct water
way connecting the Baltic and Black
sea by way of the rivers Dwina and
Dnieper. The Russian fleet could thus
reach the Black sea, which, according
to treaty, it cannot now enter from the
Mediterranean. Another canal pro-
posed is the Bordeaux-Narbonne, across
southern France, between the Atlantic
and the Mediterranean. This would
be shortcut for ships and reduce the
strait of Gibraltar to insignifcance.
Both are great projects, either from
a military or a commercial point of
view.
