APRoPos of industrial schools, Dem

years for instruction in butter making.
And now that little kingdom Of only
about 100000 inhabitants exports
10o, 600, 900 pounds of butter per year,
an average of fifty pounds per inhab-
liant, Dairy products are almost the
only articles the supply Of which has
never yet run ahead of the demand.
There is always a market for good
butter, and Denmark has discovered
the fact.
THE City OF Mexico authorities who
were looking after counterfeiters
made some startling discoveries. 1t
was evident there was an organized
colony Of several hundred people scat
tered about the city making and circu-
lating the spurious coin. Thousands
of dollars had been successfully

Arrests OF members Of the band had
been made almost daily until there

If the Atlantic were lowered 1864
feet the distance from shore to shore
would be only half as great, or 1000
miles. If lowered little more than 3
miles-say 1860 feet-there would be
road of dry land from Newfoundland
to Ireland. This is the ridge on which
the great Atlantic cables are laid.
The Mediterranean is comparatively
shallow. A drying up of 666 feet would
leave three different seas, and Africa
would be Joined with Italy. The Brit

accounts for it's cEoppy waves.
example of the dependence of public
prosperity on agriculture. Not many
years ago the country appeared to be
crushed under a heavy debt incurred
by the extravagant system of borrow
ing and the Maori war. Instead of is
suing more bonds the people and
statesmen set themselves to develop
ing the agricultural resources of the
colony. The dairy and frozen meat in
dustries have reached great magni-
tude, and nowhere, says a recent re-
port, is the farmer more prosperous

IT is announced that horseflesh is
soon to be placed on sale in New York
as food in Paris for a good many years,
and although it does not seem to be
esteemed as luxury, it doubtless
serves a useful purpose in relieving
the hunger of the impecunious. for it
must be sold at lower price than
beef or mutton to secure customers.
We believe the medical testimony is
to the effect that horse flesh is not I'M
healthful if the animal is not diseased,
and the health department will prob
ably look after this, in case it comes
nto use as food.
INVESTIGATION goes to show, and ex-
periments on cadavers prove, that a
pistol or rifle ball detected from it's |
course Immediately resumes it's line of
flight after trimming" the object it is
una bic to pass directly through. In |
other words, a bullet turned from it's |
course by a rib or other bone passes
under the skin and flesh until it reaches
a point automatically directly oppo-
site to the point where it entered the
body and then passes out, resuming its
direct line Of flight. In case it's initial
velocity is far spent it remains imbed-
ded in the flesh opposite the spot where
At came in contact with the bone.
