DEADLY DISEASE OF THE TIMES.

The Great Increase In the Number of
 Cases of Paresls.
 In connection with the cock-sure statement of Mir Howells, says the Medical Record, that the present race was never so healthy and strong as now. it is interesting to read the fol- lowing paragraph written by Dr. T. $. Clouston, superintendent of the Morningside asylum, Scotland. He says;
 "One terrible form of brain disease, with mental symptoms, is certainly in- creasing. That malady might be described as 8 breakdown of the great center of the mind and motion in the brain. It always goes on from bad to worse until 1t renders it's vlctim ut terly helpless in mind and body and kills him in few years. No cure and scarcely any mitigation of this latter day curse has yet been devised. It is q disease of cities, of restless lives, of active brains in their prime; sometimes of dissipation and debauchery, of life at high pressure commonly"
 During the past year the asylums of '%DbAHAlh AfIANtA AJg litNf ttStSs bllont DI England, 1, 400 cases, and those of Ire land, g. The asylum statistics of this country show an even greater number.
 In a single asylum in this state, for example, that of Ogdenburg, there were among 659 admissions 3i cases of general paresis. This would make the proportion of general paresis over per cent.
 Among seven state asyluns, to which 1,oi2 patients were admitted in 1890, there were 65 cases of general paresis, or a little over per cent. If 1 per cent. be the general ratio of this dis ease in the state of New York, then the total number of paretics among the l6,OO0 insane would be about 64O. Asa matter of fact, the number is greater. because the proportion of this disease is larger in the New York and Kings county asylums than in those of the state at large. But even if there were but 4,00O cases of general paresis among the 100000 insane people of this couu- try it would be the extraordinary evi- dence of the development of a disease which in the last century was certainly not known even if it did exist.

SUBMARINE MINING.
An Enterprise with som~ Novel Festui ea
 in New south Waless

An Enterprise with son~ Novel Fcatuies
 in New south Wales.
 It IS proposed Co carry into effect a project which aims at bringing fire m far below the lowest depths of Sydnsy harbor, New South Wales, the ceai which geologists had predicted would be found there, and which has actually been tested by diamond-drill borinfs. Transport, In a recent issue, contains Q very hattering account of the scheme now being fioated on the London mar ket from which the following par ticulars are obtained:
 Important coal fields have been do- veloped both north and south of Sydney-at Newcastle aud Bulli--b,t up to the present the intervening area has been left practically untouched although plainly shown on the govern ment geological maps of forty years ago. The unquestionable advantagen which would follow the opening o,' coal mines in the very heart of the capital of the colony have led to the formation of a company, and induce our contemporary to take a most sanguine view of the outlook. Sydney is an im- portant shipping port, where the lines of many steamship companies con verge, and the coal of the bed in ques- ton is in demand for bunker use and export.
 Tbe borings were made under the superintendence of the miners depart ment of New South Wales, partly on account of geological interests and partly with the very practical ulterior view of raising revenue. The scam was found within 90 feet of the depth predicted by the geologists, in bore hole 2,700 feet deep, For l,5OO feet the boriugs passed through a compact sandstone claimed to be impermeable to water. The seam itself is 10 feet inches thick, of which 6 feet is clean coal free from sand. The shafts to be sunk will be within 200 feet of deep water, SO that the situation will be unique, the saving on cost of trauspor- tation from the nearest mines now working being about I5 cents to St a ton. The parent company has secured O surface site of small extent, but has concessions over 400 acres below sEbAuA Nduu NaScIli anu lt ls expected that several other collieries will be started, for which there is said to be room.
 There IS nothing extraordinary in mining under water, as implied in the statements. This has been done on the Cornish coast and in the copper and iron mines of Michigan at Silver islet, Lake Superior, but the opening of great collieries in a large shipping port, with delivery from the shaft mouth directly into vessels alongside, is some thing which only the mines of Wash ington and British Columbia can rival It is also proposed to utilize the smaller coal, screened from the bunker coal, for large electric installation and also to make coke and establish local smelt- ing works

Story o, a California Pioneer.

At a recent gathering of California pioneers at Baltimore, one of the best stories was told by the secretary of the association, John l.. Stieff. He com. pared the spread" before them with the pork and beans which were served in'the mining camps twenty-one times a week, year in and year out, aud said the absence of women in California had taught him how to appreciate them. Nearly all the time he was there he had Co do. all his own cooking, wash ing and mending Part of the time he was in California he was merchandise ing and getting such prices as these for goods: Long shovels, SIG; checkered shirts, tS each; long boots, s32 a pair; copies of the Baltimore Sun of any date, Si each; flour, 50 cents pound, and picks, SIG each.

ODD BIBLES.

4 BIBLE printed in London in 1851 was niclSnamed the Bug Bible from the first verse of the ninctY.first Psalm be- ing translated: "So that thou shalt not nede to be afraid for any buggcs by nighte. The authorized version is: Thou shalt not Be afraid for the ter TOT by night"
 TIE Vinegar Bible. published in ox- ford by J. Baskett in 1717, gets its name because the headline of the twentieth chapter of Luke reads: "The parable of vinegar" instead of the vineyard. It has also from its numerous faults been punningly described as "a bas- kett full of printers errors"
 TIE Brooches Bible served as the regular family Bible in the reign of Elizabeth. The translation was made by the English reformers in exile at Geneva and was published in 1886. It gained its name because in Genesis, iii, T, Adam and Eve are spoken of as mak- ing themselves "breeches out of fig leaves"

NEW YoRKs NAME.
Not Sc Bad as tt Would Have Heen Had
 Works Old Names Survived.

Sorks old Names Survived
 Now that New YorlS's name Is under discussion, 1t Is well to be thankful that the contraction of old Works original Eurewic took place before the qualify ing New" was added, for if York is bad, New Eurewic would be mbearable, says the Sun. York's still earlier name of Eboracum would have gone no bet ter with New and her Celtic name of Caer Ebroc would have been even worse than any of the others with a third element prefixed. The syllable ''wic," which has almost disappeared in the contraction of Eurewic to York, is rather the Saxon vic, meaning an abid- ing place, than the Danish wick, mean ing station for ships, surely an ap- propriate suffix for so great seaport as the chief commercial city of the new world.
 New York is really no worse off, however, in the matter of it's name than good many other cities are or have been. York, with or without the New, is better than Midtown, which is no un- fair translation of Lutctia, the ancient Roman name for Paris, bestowed upon the city of the Parish because of its mud houses. London, by the way, takes its name from the fortified hill of the Britons where St. Pauls cathedral now stands. Dublin is name conceal ing two unattractive syllables meaning the black pool, and Liverpool is literal ly the pool of the living creatures, 80 called because wild fowl abouuded upon the waters of pool near the site of the city. Brussels is conjecturcd to mean either swamp or thicket, and Rome may be merely the early Latin equivalent of the crossroads from the fact that the local lines of travel met at the Forum. Berlin is coniecturcd to mean the short lake. Other guess CTS take it as the free and open place, the river island and the marshy spot.
 Names that are commonly accepted aS of but single word often contain phrase or whole sentence Constan- tinople and Valparaiso are familiar ex- amples. Pernambuco sounds well to English ears, but means the mouth of hell, Cairo, which has been mistaken by European ignorance for the name of the city, is really corruption of its descriptive title, so to speak. Fl Ka- hirah, the victorious. The true name of the city is Misr. Bombay is only the Portuguese Bono Bahia, good bay, a modest enough name for an oriental city, since the names of such usually mean q great deal that is pretcntious or splendid, Ispahan, for example, is the half of the world; Astrakhan, the city of the star; Bagdad, the garden of justice. Copenhagen is merely the merchants harbor. The concealed news" in foreign city names are legion, as Novgorod, Neustadt, Neuf. chatel, and even Naples.

carrylng molten. msral rIre Mlle..

Great pots of molten metal go daily slSimming along the Erie railroad from the Cleveland Rolling Mills company's central blast furnace to the Newburg mills as sedately as if this traffic was of long standing, says Q Cleveland letter. The plan is a perfect success. It takes just fifteen minutes for the metal. after it is poured into the big ladlc cars, to reach the mixer in the mills, some five miles away. Eight trips are made day, as follows: At GEO, SEQ and Ii:20 in the morning, at 2:10 and 4:1O o'clock in the afternoon, and three trains at night. These trips are made at R time when the tracks are practically cleared. Thus delays are avoided which would be expensive, for if long continued the metal would cool and thepurpose of the special delivery thus be defeated. At the rolling mills the car is raised on a hoist to the mixer, the ladle is tipped by machinery, and the liquid metal poured into the miHeu Relieved of their load, the cars amblc back to the furnace at their leisure, in time for the next trip. About 800 tons of the hot metal is thus carried every day over this long railroad route. The Cleveland Rolling Mills company has to pay pretty figure for the freightage 1t IS said, but there is economy in the operation.

After herdeath the country house and her flat in the Rue de la Beetle were searched without anything being found; she was not known to have any banker, and the authorities were com. ing to the conclusion that they were the victims of mystifcation, when. some one opened an old warming-pan. without handle, slowed away under a sink, and found the sum there in, gold, bank notes and bonds.

THE DOG NEVER SPOKE AGAIN.
And the Yentriloquist Received Three
 Hundred DoIlars tor Him.

Hundred Dollars for Him.
 There was once ventriloquist so poor that he was obliged to travel on foot from town to.town to save expense, n1uch after the manner of the gentle man of adventure in Grimm tales, says HarPer's Young People. One day he was joined on the road. by a dog as for. salSen as himself but who seemed de- sirOuS Of becoming his companion. They jOurncyed together to the next town and entered the tavern tired, hun Rry and penniless. Not being troubled with the incOnyenient refinement which comes from long line of gentle an oestors, the man had developed the quality known. as cheek, SO he and the dog sat down to eat supper for which they could not pay.
 The room was full of loungers and the stranger took Q conspicuous seat. What will you have?' asked the only waiter the place employed. and the order embraced nearly everything on the bill of fare.
 But I want something for my dog, too" he added. "AslS him what he will, have. The waiter muttered some- thing about "Whatcher giving us," so the stranger said: What don't you Ike to2 Well, Bruno, will you have beef or fish?"
 Beef every time" said Bruno, look iDg with mild brown eyes at the waiter
 "And,what do you drink?"
 Water, thank yOu," said Bruno.
 By this time the landlord and every one in the place were eager with sup pressed wonder and gathered about to bear the dog talk
 The veutriloquist fcigncdindiffercuce by eating with avidity, while the land lord was evidently considering some- thing. His cogtation resulted in his offering the stranger three hundred dollars for his wonderful talking dog. The ventriloquist appeared to hesitate a moment, then said, abruptly: "Yes, you may have him for three hundred dollars
 When the money was paid and the ventriloquist was about to leave he turned to the dog, patted him affection. ,tely, and said: "Good-by, old fellow; Fou'te been good friend 10 me"
 "You are no friend of mine" re- turned the dog, "to sell me to another master. As you were mean enough to,I serve me such trick I'll have revenge. llll never speak another word as long ss Hive. Thc ventriloquist then made of with all possible Haste.

4 Maine fishing schooner had the odd and unpleasant experience recently of continually filling it's nets with kind of fish that the fishermen didn't want. they were after mackerel and ran into school of whiting. useless fish about two feet long. The schooner had twenty-eight drag nets.out, and every one was filled almost to breaking with, the thousands of whiting. It was a whole nights work to clear the nets after each haul. After getting clear of the whiting the boat caught, in the course of whole days fishing, twenty five mackenel in it's twenty-eight nets.

Given pecuniary Satisfaction.

Two brothers named Habron were convicted at Manchester, England, some time ago of murdering a police man, and condemned to death. Doubts of their guilt having arisen they were reprieved. Before the expiration of their reprieve another man was arrest ed for the crime and confessed that he committed it. As result, the Habrons have been not 'pardoned,' as is the American procedure in similar cases, but released" and, in compensation for the laws blunder, have received ten thousand dollars from the treasury.

Musk-Flavoredl FIah.

An artificial must; factory has been established upon the Rhonc, in the canton of Geneva. Since it's opening fishermen have noticed that the fish especially the trout-talken within a couple of miles down the river have q very pronounced flavor of musk, the heads in particular being uneatable. As it is known that the essential oils of anise and lavender attract fishes, foxes, martens, etc, it is believed that the fishes may be similarly led by the odor to seek and eat the musk refuse.
