Losses by fires in the United States
and Canada during the month of April
are computed at upward of eight mill.
ion dollars, as against nearly eleven
millions in the corresponding month
of last year and twelve millions iu
April two years ago. In the United
States alone the losses by fire in the
past twenty three years are equal to
one.tenth of the entire present as,
sessed valuation of the property, real
and personal, Of all the States and
Territories. More than half the prop.
erty destroyed is covered by insur.
ance. This, however, only means that
the losses Of that extent are distri-
buted among others than the owners
and does not affect the fact that this
enormous volume of the products OF
human labor burned up every year il
a total loss to the country. 1t is sup
prising that human ingenuity has not
yet devised adequate means to avert
this destruction of wealth.

Grinding the Sabres.

"Tell you what putting the war
paint on our men-of-war makes me
think Of" said the old cavalryman,
who has seen service on the plains,
"and I'll bet you can't read my
thoughts for cent. Sabres were used
much more in the old days succeeding
the Civil War than they are now in
fighting the Indians. So don't laugh
when I tell you that our pail of war
paint, when we were ordered out to
round up o lot Of reds, was the grind
stone.
''It gave even us, or some of US
anyway, o kind of shivery feeling
when we sharpened the sabres, ready
for cutting in the charge. And as for
the women in the garrison, it always
started a weeping, especially over in
laundress row, the quarters of the mar
ried enlisted men, whose wives did
the washing for the garrison.
"When we cleaned our earbines and
revolvers it didn't seem to create such
feeling, for that work was done reg
ularly, whether we were preparing for
field service or not, and had to be done
when we were going out for target
practice. But a sword doesn't need
to be sharp unless it is meant to cut.
"It took three men to man the
grindstone, and there was at least one
grindstone for each troop. One man
turned the stone, another poured on
the water, and third held the sabre,
till it had On edge which would cut q
buffalo steak. At a post which was
large enough for regimental head
quarters, like Riley, when the Seventh
Cavalry garrisoned it, the work Of
grinding the sabres took several days.
Gradually, however, we outgrew the
use of the sabre, and in June, '76,
when Custer rode to his death in the
Little Big Horn, all the sabres OF the
Seventh were left behind at Abraham
Lincoln. New York Press.

An AVenging Oyster.

A peculiar case of death through
greed occurred at Pawtuxet not long
ago. The victim was wild duck and
the cause of death was an oyster,
which fastened to it's bill and drowned
it.
All day Sunday q large flock Of wild
ducks, probably numbering over a
thousand, lowered over the bay be-
tween Starve Goat Island and the
Rhode Island Yacht Club house, at
Pawtuxet, in search of food. Louis
Schultze, of Providence, who saw the
flock, noticed one of the number float
ing down The bay with the tide away
from the rest. Thinking that it had
been shot, he borrowed q boat from
Frederick H. Nichols, steward of the
yacht club, and rowed out to where
the duck hoated. Upon his approach
to the bird he discovered that it's head
was under water. When he pulled
the duck into the boat he found that
it's bill was held fast between the
shells of q large oyster. Evidently
the birdshadagone to the bottom for
food, and, seeing the oyster and an;
ticipating o dainty meal, had thrust
its bill into the open shell. The
oyster had then suddenly closed the
shells with such force as to crumble
the edge of its she'll against the ducks
bill, holding the duck until it drowned.
In it's struggles the bird must have
loosened the oyster from its bed and
succeeded in getting to the surface,
although too late to save itself. The
body of the bird was still warm when
found, showing that it had been dead
but a short time. After reaching
the warmth of the clubhouse, the
oyster relaxed its grip and fell off.
Several club members witnessed the
extraordinary spectacle. Providence

The Troy Press says: Camp life un-
der severe military discipline has its
advantages as we'll as discomforts. It
enforces regularity, always an adjunct
to good health. With plenty Of drill
ing, the ordinary military diet and
certain allotted hours for rest, the
soldier boys, if they take good care Of
themselves, will soon be of tougher
fibre and stronger muscle. Exposure
may be beneficial as well as blasting,
and labor and hard bed better for q
young man than soft job and soft
bed. Too many sons are too tender
ly reared for their own good, and a
few weeks OF months Of hardship may
inure to their lasting physical advan,
tage, and mental, too, if they are only
keen enough to learn the lessons OF
their experience. But camp life will
he helpful only to those who are
watchful to their own welfare and
carefully avoid exesses common to tho
thoughtless and vicious.

A Partisan Political Club.

For the first time Paris now has q
large political club, the new Grand
Cercle Republican. NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau, Senator and ex-Minister, is
the founder of the circle, which starts
with 1900 members. In spite Of this
promise Of prosperity, the club is
housed in single fiat, comprising q
reception salon, dining and smoking
rooms, the cuisine and large library.
It could, however, emulate the Ma
tional Liberal Club. cfLondon, which
is an organization of similar nature,
and has over six thousand members
and is housed in a palace. 1t is the
model for every such body. 1t is a
curious fact, by the way, that Paris is
the most domestic of oil the worlds
great capitals, and has not, as yet a
single clubhouse which could for a
moment compare with even the most
modest of such houses in New York.

The report of the Swedish and Nor.
wegian committees on the union be-
tween the two countries has been sub
mitted to the Swedish Riksdag and
the Norwegian Storthing. The ma
jority report of the Swedish commit
tee recommends the appointment Of q
common foreign Minister, who may be
either O Swede or o Norwegian, but is
not to be o member of the Riksdag
or the Storthing. It also advocates the
constitution of Council of State for
Foreign Affairs, to consist of at least
two Swedish and two Norwegian
Councillors. With regard to the
common Foreign Minister'S RESPONSE
bility, the report provides that he may
be impeached before a supreme ju-
dicial tribunal of the united kingdoms,
consisting of the six senior Judges of
the Supreme Courts of both countries,
twelve members of the Riksdag and
the same number of the Storthing. It
Is proposed, further, that diplomatic
and consular representation be COM
mon to both countries. The report Of
the majority of the Norwegian COM
mittee recommends that each country
contribute to the expenditure on &C
count of the Foreign Ministry in pro-
portion to its population, and that the
consular representation be common
to both countries for a period of ff-
teen years, after which each shall be
entitled to demand the dissolution of
the consular union. There is also a
Norwegian minority report, which
recommends a separate Foreign Min
lister and separate diplomatic and con
Bular representation for each of she
two countries,

Saws the Buffalo Commercial: It is

Says the Buffalo Commercial: It is
said that q number of Sheffield firms
have received information that the
feeling against England in Spain is so
intense that it is feared merchants
will repudiate their obligations to
English traders. This will not be "a
new way to pay old debts" in Spain,
This high-spirited race makes it a
point of honor to repudiate its debts
about once in twenty years.

Twas dry and dusty,

Now I'm glad and lustyt
And the earth looks CHEEKY.
Oh, the soaking,
Mirth-proyoking,
Laughter-making rain!
Soft and silky,
Mild and milky,
Grows my golden grain.
Listen to the laughter
That my leaves are making
When the winds come after
Kisses, softly shaking.
Oh, health-giving,
Breathing, living,
Heaven-pourlng rain!
Come, CareSS me,
Kiss me, bless me,
Once and once again!
Let your hearts DO singing,
Peal your p8ans, peoplesl
Set the Joy bells ringing
In the lofty steepIes;
Praises render
TO the Sender
OF the joyous rain
OF the living,
The life-glving,
OF the precious rainl
