direction of his native commune, and
it is the duty of the next canton to for

Crime is very rare in the rural dis
tricts, and the offender is generally
found to be a foreigner-most often an
Italian .aborer in a fit of sudden rage.
Most of the villages employ an inhabi-
tant to act as policeman, though
times two or more villages will COM
bine to secure the services of one man
between them. In other ways the COM
mune endeavors to watch over the we'll
being of it's inhabitants-for instance,
at st. Moritz a law exists that no n
may venture on the ice of the lake until
the president has declared it safe. Some
of the laws are rather curious, and in
Appenzell dancing on Sunday is abso-
lutely forbidden, while at Weisen only
the pastor and the doctor are allowed
to ride, drive, or use a toboggan on
Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, and
Harvest Thanksgiving Day.

sheep, and finally by a refinement OF
evolutionary adaptation, for the deli
cate fat which o%verhangs the sleeps
kidney, Mr.. Taylor White sends to the
Zoologist an interesting account of the
actual facts which he has had the
best opportunity for studying. The
Ikea, he says, could not have deserted
it's berries, for to his knowledge, it is
only found above the forest line, where
berries do not grow. Its food consists
chiefly OF the lichen on stones. 1t did
not train itself, via to eat
live meat, but hit on the practice, in
all probability, by accident. Mr.. Tay-
Tor White was farming sheep on the
New Zealand mountains before the kea
had learned its bad habits. Suddenly
it began to be found that some Of the
sheep which had missed a shearing
and had long wool would die in the
night, and on skinning a small round
hole would appear far down the back,
the cause of which was unknown. One
day they discovered the kea in the act
Of committing it's felony, and thence
forward there was war. The kea is a
dull green bird of the parrot type,
known as Nestor notabilis, and it's
habit of sheep-killing and of seeking
out the kidney fat has always been
held up as one Of the most striking in
stances of rapid adaptation on record.
Mr. Taylor White, however, thinks that
the adaptation was occasioned by the
resemblance Of the long, and possibly
frozen wool to the lichen on which the
bird feeds; that it never touches the
kidney fat at all, but simply wants
blood.

Swiss Laws and Customs.

There is but very little poverty and
absolutely no starvation in Switzer-
land. Every Swiss is born a native Of
some one commune, and is in possess
Ion of papeN, to prove himself such. AS
long as he retains his health, he is able
to earn enough by honest work to keep
himself; but should he through ILL
health or old age be unable to earn his
own living, he considers it no disgrace
to accept assistance from the commune
that he helped to support during his
prime, and the m is bound to
provide for his wants. If anyone is
begging or destitute he is arrested and
his papers are examined; should they
prove to be in order he is kept for the

About a Watch.

The watch carried by the average
nan is composed of SO pieces, and it's
manufacture embraces more than
3,OCO distinct and separate operations.
some of the smallest screws are so
ninute that unaided eyes cannot dis
,lnguish them from steel filings or
'pecks or dirt. Under a powerful mag
llfy'ng glass a perfect screw is re-
vealed. The slit in the head is $1,000
u an inch wide. 1t takes 30S, 900 of
!hese screws to weigh a pound and a
pound is worth over 3O0f. The hair
spring is a strip of the finest steel about
, IL inches long, 1-10O of an inch
vide, and PILOT 600 of an inch thick. It
IS colled up in spiral form, and is finely
tempered. A ton of steel made up into
l~alr-sprlngs when in watches is worth
more than twelve and one-half times
he value Of the same metal in
pure gold. Ha%ir-springs weigh one
twentieth of a grain to the inch. One
mile OF wire weighs less than half a
pound. The balance gives five vibra-
lions every second, 300 every minute,
$4,000 every hour, $4,000 every day,
and 1%57,6SO,0 900 every year. At each vi
oration it rotates about one and one
fourth times, which makes 1877, 100 900
revolutions every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount of labor performed by
these tiny works, let us make a few
comparisons. Take, for illustrations, a
locomotive with six-foot driving
wheels. Let it's wheels be run until it
has given the anne number Of revolu-
ions that a watch does in one year and
hey will have covered a distance equal
10 % complete circuits of the earth.
All this a watch does without other
attention than winding once every "a
hours. No wonder that in the early
days of the century a watch was worth
it's weight in gold.

A Great Corporation.

The greatest corporation on earth is
The London and Northwestern Rail-
way Company of England. It has a
capital Of $685., 000, 900 and a revenue of
$500 an hour; has 1900 engines, and
employs $4,000 men. Everything is
made by the company-bridges, en-
gines, rails, carriages, wagons and an
innumerable lot of other things, even
the coal scuttles and wooden limbs for
the injured of it's staff. Repairs to the
permanent way cost $3.50, 900 a month.

Their Sons Meet.

The other day at McMinnyille, at the
meeting Of the Bimetallic league,
Samuel Brown, son of John Brown, of

William Booth, son of the sheriff who
hanged john Brown. AS is the Gus
tom of all conventions in Oregon,
every delegate does his best to get ac-
quainted with every other delegate,
and all delegates speak whether ac-
quainted or not. Several delegates
were going about introducing a rather
handsome man of 40 or thereabouts,
whom they called Mr.. Booth of Nc
Minnville. They would say Of him:
"Mr. Booth is the son of the sheriff
who hanged John Brown Of Osawa-
tonne at Harper's Ferry
All of which caused people to take
more than a common interest in Mr..
Booth. Finally Mr.. Booth was intro
iuced to a man of excellent appear
ance, whose name was Samuel Brown.
After the introduction Mr.. Booth and
Mr.. Brown chatted very pleasantly for
4 minute or two.
Mr.. Booth" said MI. Brown, was

When Children Gain Weight.

Some curious experiments have been
made at one of the royal philanthropic
institutions at Copenhagen. For seven
years back the seventy boys and girls
In the place have been carefully

the children gain in weight mostly In
autumn and in the early part of De-

Of April there is scarcely any growth
in weight. More remarkable still, there
is a diminution till the end of sum.

carry on communications with his
housekeeper entirely by correspond

his establishment that on no pretence
whatever might a female venture into
his presence. A gentleman died re-

extraordinary measures to avoid con-

that in death a female body should not
