FRANCoMANIACs who are always
telling us how much the politest peo-
pie have done for civilization can
score several points by contrasting the
mildness Of a recent scene in the
chamber of deputies with similar in
cidents in our own senate and house
of representatives. According to the
French newspapers, nothing worse
than liar" traitor, foul
beast, dog OF country
man" and duel occurred over the
debate upon the proposition to give
Marshal Canrobert a public funeral
That, however. was probably due to
the fact that the bell Of the presiding
officer was sounded so loudly and so
many deputies swore at. once that the
individual grace and pertinence Of
their remarks we're lost to the re-
porters

CONSUMPTION OF GLASS.
Great ouAati'iss of 10 Used IA Eso,

Great Quantities Of 10 Used IN Eisc-
tricai WORK.
The consumption Of glass in cleo
trical work Is very large. and OF late
years has led TO many innovations. Al
one time 10 was confined chiaHy 10
large disks used in fractional machines
the jars for telegraph batteries and
the iusulators Now II i extensively
employed for the Jars Of storeage bat
teries, switches. conduct tubing. the
bulbs OF incandescrnt lamps. the
globes Of arc lights and
many other purposes some Of
the storoage batteries OF modern
times are large enough for baths. and
i can readily b. conceived that the
glass must be well made for such work.
Not long ago the bulbs OF iucandss.
cent lamps were blown at the factories.
but now the lamp works buy them IN
barrels just like so many oranges.
and the nodded glass is said to answer
admirably. a recent novelty has
been the nodded bulbs on which some
pattern has been imprinted. The ef-
ieet Is very pretty. says the New York
Advertiser, and is cheaply obtained.
as hitherto this could only be obtained
by putting over the ordinary bulb a
case or shade Of nodded or cut glass.
which, OF course, lessened the light

lighting the globes remain much tho
same as when the lamps wore intro.

attempts are made TO use panes instead

The proposed consolidation OF the
Aston and the Lenox libraries in New
York will give that city one of the
largest collections Of books and man
uscripts in the world. The Aston
library contains 260,6l1 volumes and
the Lenox 1879 bound volumes and
700 valuable manuscripts. Allowing
for duplicates the consolidated library
will start in with about 300, 900 vol
umes. But what is still more i'm
portant is the magnificent fund there
will be to maintain it, The yearly
revenue OF the Aston library is $47,-
600 and OF the Lenox Sl6, 453. To
these will be added the income from
the g. 900, 900 Tilden trust fund With
this to draw from the managers should
be able to collect about all the books
and manuscripts that are worth col
lecting for library purposes. Within
a few years the New York library
will compare favorably with that Of
the British museum.

of the windows gave proof that one
occupant, at least, was keeping a
vigil
Nearer the bungalow, at short dis
tances from one another, were pitch
ed tents, like silent sentinels at their
post, keeping mute watch.
At the opening of one of these
stood the quiet figure of man of
strong, athletic build and military

that held Captain Gartshore's fancy
on this calm and peaceful night
He reviewed the events of the last
seven months in the minutest detail
from the lay that the steamship ar
rived in Bombay with his superior Of
ficer, Colonel Campbell, who return
ing from furlough, brought bride
and her most intimate school friend,
Helen Arundel.
Alec GartShore was a man who had
never believed in the strength of first
impressions, of love at first sight, but
there was witchcraft about Helen
that interested him from the start.
From the first they had been thrown
together. The colonel, with strong
affection for Alec, thought the best
kindness he could offer was the soci-
ETY. of his wife's dearest friends; and
since they had come to the jungle-a
small party, the colonel and his wife,
DIR. Blake, the army surgeon, and
wife. and Helen and Alec, with the
native servants-their intimacy was
still closer
Often Helen, in sweet voice, would
sing snatches of songs, in which Alec

paddles dipping into the water added
the refrain.
Upon Helen's arrival in India an
ayah had been secured for her, whose
duties were those of maid or duenna.

The scientific study of earthquakes
which has been going on for about
forty years, has led to the conclusion
that the greatest number of earth
quakes are caused by the action OF
the water on soft strata lying beneath
harder formations of rock, resulting
in the sudden settling of the surface.
Earthquakes in general occur near
the sea, and often originate under it.

Wages Here and There.

The following figures from the last
ing facts concerning the economical
situation Of Great Britain. About 30
600 persons i'm Great Britain have an
annual income of 81 900 and 100000
have an income OF S500. Titus ii would
appear that only one Englishman out
of every five is capable of supporting Il
family. 1t is to be borne in mind that
$500 Il year amounts to only S1.3T II
day. which is not very much for fam
lily of four persons. On the other hand
there are in the United Kingdom 49,
600 families having an income Of about
$1,000, and 5000 families with an in
come Of more than so, 900.
In the United States. according TO the
statistics compiled by Il. G.. Sherman
there are 100000 families. or about
100000 people, whose annual income
amounts to $1,000 and more than 10000
families having an income Of more than
So. 1000.
Taking into account the difference in
population between the United States
and Great Britain, 1t still will be evil
dent that not only can America boast
of greater number of rich people than
the United Kingdom, but that wealth
Is more equally distributed and less

Labor and Revenue.

Secretary Carlisle has informed Con-
gress that the revenues of the Govern
ment will exceed the expenditures by
the close Of this year to the extent of
SOD 100000. This is satisfactory in as
far as it should stop the necessity for
the issuing of further bonds. 1t is
hardly so satisfactory, however. when
we remember that it implies an in
crease in our customs revenue, which
implies larger imports Of foreign
goods, which implies Il smaller manu-
facture Of American goods. which i'm
