Soldiers Beds.

The soldiers bed varies notably in the different European armies. According to Dr. Viry, the following are the prin- oipal varieties, in which, perhaps, we may see the reflection of national char aoteristics In England the bed is hard The soldier lies on thin mattress that rests on canvas stretched over frame. In Spain the soldier has only a straw bed, but he is allowed besides this pill low, two sheets, two blankets and 8 covered quilt, sometimes even a cover for the feet. It is almost sybaritic. In Germany and Austria he has a simple straw bed with one or two covers, neither sheet nor mattress. In Russia, until recently, the soldier slept with his clothes on on a camp bed, but now ordinary beds begin to be used-the re- suit of contact with more civilized countries After this it cannot be doubt ed that the French soldiers bed is the best of all. with its wooden or iron bed stead, a straw bed, a wool mattress, sheets, a brown woolen ooverlet and an extra quilt for cold weather. Thus the bed of the French soldier Is the soft. est of all soldiers beds, as that of the French peasant is acknowledged also to be the best of all European countries - British Medical Record.

His Last Meal.

Every day some fresh source of food supply is discovered, says The Stamp Collector. Adhesive stamps have not hitherto been regarded as nutritious. The ostrich prefers gold watches for a steady diet, and the travelling tinker s donkey has a reputation for consuming any clean linen that may be handy.
 A Hindoo paper, however, gives an account of a curious incident that CO., cured at the residency in a remote dis triot in Ceylon a little while ago. Mir. Pieris, the office assistant, placed on his table some judicial stamps to the value of about 900 rupees. While his attention was drawn to something else his pet goat was slowly but surely mak- ing a meal of the stamps. This was not discovered until the goat had swal- lowed some 50 rupees worth of stamps. Immediately the goats life was de manded as a penalty, and the stamps, afterward taken from it's stomach, were forwarded to the commissioners.

 The miners strike reached a terrible crisis near Hazelton, Penn, last Friday afternoon. A large body of strikers, the largor proportion of whom were Hunga- rlnns and Poles, were marching towards Lstimer with the determination of oom- polling the men It work at this place to quit work. Sheriff Martin, with seventy deputies, met them and read the riot act to thom, and demanded that they should stop. They treated him with ridlcule and, as he asserts, with some personal violence, and attempted to surround the deputies, when the order to fire was given. Nineteen of the mob were instantly killed and forty were injured. Of the injured, ten or moro have since died, making the total number of deaths at least thirty. The bloodshed Is to be much regretted, and many blame the sheriff for acting in too nasty manner, but he had duty to perform and he had to take extreme means at this time. The governor order cd a regiment of soldiers to the scene, and no further violence has been reported as yet. The proposition of the mine owners to pay 65 cents ton (miners de- mand 60 cents) has been accepted by a part of the strikers. Tho strike has al- ready cost the minors over $1O, ,OOO, 900 In wnRes.
