INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Perfumes and essences made from
lemon, orange and bergamot long ago
made Sicily famous in the annals of the
perfumers.
The United States manufactures eN-
tensively perfumes from wintergreen,
sassafras and several other woods and
| herbs.
Perfumes are made from great va
riety of seeds, and by combining some
of these new perfumes are made, which
resemble none of those previously
known.
On the basis OF results Of previous ex
hibitions at Paris, it is assumed that
52,5sS.2SO people will pass through the
turnstiles, and it is possible that the
total number may reach 60,OOO,00O.
There will be a model American post
Office at the Paris exposition. Ar
rangements have been made with the
French postal authorities whereby
mails for Americans in Paris will be
sent directly to this office instead of
going through the regular channels.
The post office will be fitted up with
all of the modern postal appliances.
Work has begun on the renovation Of
the facade of the Cathedral of Milan.
An attempt will be made to remove
some OF the inconsistencies of style
due 20 the fact that four centuries were
taken in the completion OF the cathe-
dral. The plan adopted is that of
Giuseppe Brentano, who won the prize
over 1870 competitors.
Nine columns of the hypostyle hall
Of the temple of El-Karnak. at Thebes,
have fallen. The temple of El-Karnak
is one of the most magnificent temples
OF ancient architecture in the world.
The hall measures 10 by 800 feet. The
stone roof was originally supported by
134 columns, the tallest Of which was
nearly 10 feet high and 10 feet in di-
ameter. 1t was built by Setee I. of the
nineteenth Egyptian dynasty.

ENGLISH AFFAIRS.

London holds G3 per cent. of its po-
licemen for night duty.
There are, it is estimated, about 5000
doctors in London.
Manchester, England, has opened
lodging-houses under the contro! of the

A good English authority estimates

RAILROAD RUMBLE.

Some of the underground railroads
in London cost as high us $3,2G5 900 8
mile.
Officers of the street railroad com
pany in Denver estimate the daily nv
erage loss of the company, through
the competition of the bicycles, at
$500.
The railroads use 1,326,i74 cars. OF
which 1886 are assigned to the pas
senger service and 1.24s,S26 TO the
freight service. OF the total 43,753 are
used by the companies owning them
The Wagner-Pullman Palace car
combination is an important event in
the railroad world. The Pullman com
pany was organized I'm 1867 to operate
a service of sleeping and parlor cars
The company owns and controls about
800 cars, which are operated over 12l,-
6G2 miles of railway in the United
States, Canada, Mexico and in some
places in Europe.

that the railway will be used to es-

trolled by the american troops. Ths
engineering corps will build the
bridges, etc.
The work of cutting down the
grades on the Chicago division of the
Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road has been
begun and most of the heavy wors
will be completed by spring. The ger-
eral plan contemplates an Is foot

they are completed.

Actions and Words.

Here's a sentiment worthy to keep in your
mind,
As you travel through life. for It's true, you
will find;
That you're not so much valued by what
you may say,
As by what you may do in a practical way.
Tor unless you perform what you say you
can do,
Grave doubts will arise that you're honest
and true;
Remember, that actions speak louder than
words
Nor would I discourage the message that
cheers,
Or the prayer or the blessing Of sympathy's
tears;
They are always in order; they help In their
way
To hasten the dawn OF millennial day.
But little more gold sandwiched In with
your prayers
Would Danish more tears. and tighten more
cares;
Though your voice be as sweet as the song
of the birds.
Remember, that actions speak louder than
words.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.

Naval experts are indorsing strongly
the project of national naval reserve,
with four-year terms of service.
The navy yard at Charlestown, Mass,
is to have an immense water basin
where ships can connect with the Fitch
burg railway.
Officers on United States warships in
American harbors complain that Wis
tors are so numerous as to interiors
with regular duties on shipboard
Admiral Crowninshield believes the
government should maintain perma~
nent barracks on shore at the large
naval stations for the crews of vessels
in reserve and for new recruits which
increasing service requires.
AT the Charlestown (Mass.) navy yard
recently 100 workmen in the construr-
tion and repair department were dis
charged because the government allot-
ment for that department was $4,000
less than had been expected.
The appropriation made by congress
this year for naval construction is con-
sidered too meager by many naval eX-
perts, as the demand for reftting ships
for the Philippine service has used up
already nearly one-half the amount.

AFTER-DINNER TOPICS.

tFor after-dinner topics of conversati ton
the following questions have been voted a
prize. They are considered "sensib!y hu-
morous' and have just claim to that title,
though some of them are serious enough,
sometimes1
What advantage has the new woman
over the old?
Are heroes or heroines the more TO be
admired?
Is it an easy matter TO spot" an old
bachelor in crowd?
Does reading love stories make ladies
more inclined to flirt?
How would you cure man who stops
too much at his club?
When is an apology crime, and
whel is it merely blunder?
Is it better to marry for love or for
riches, or for compound of both?
When n man has offended a woman
should he admit being to blame or not :?
What means should be adopted to
bring u bashful man to the sticking
point?"
Why do old bachelors and old maids
give their preference to lodgings where
there are no children?
If husband be n few days absent
from home should he bring his wife Il
present on his return?
If u cross wife commences to scold
her husband is it good policy for him
to commence whstling?
Should the husband occasionally re-
main at home to look after the children
and leave his wife free to go to the the
ater?
Supposing you had few friends
whom you knew to be downcast, how
would you entertain them for an hour
so as to make them give good hearty
laugh?

BOGUS ANTIQUES.

In Birmingham there is flourishing
trade in antique armor made to-day.
China-labeled antique comes from
France, Holland and Germany, and the
false print is perhaps the commonest of
all forgeries.
The demand for examples of the work
of celebrated old engravers is so great
that several firms are engaged in repro
ducing them. Many are sold every day
as originals.
Forgers have attempted to copy an
tique silver plate, but their efforts are
usually amusing. There was once on
sale in Rome a great silver cup, said to
have come from secret excavations in
Sicily. 1t was ornamented with a cir
cular bas-relief of the Parthenon frioze.
In his innocence the forger had given
the frieze in its present ruined condi-
ton.

During the decade ended 1898 our
shipyards produced only $4,000 gross
tons of ocean steamships, while in the

Based on Bureau Veritas returns, the
worlds seagoing sail tonnage in the
last quarter of a century has decreased
from 14,1s5,S36 tons to S,G03,796 tons u
decrease of 40 per cent. The decrease
in the United States has been at the

The New York elevated railway sta

PLAYS FROM NOVELS.

Plays are now being given founded
on The Choir Invisible" The First
Violin" Vanity Fair" and The Tale
of Two Cities"
John Dryden once tried to make a
play from Millions paradise Lost"
and the awful result is one of the
things best forgotten.
Also it is ruInored that the stage
will soon see plays made from "Rich-
ard Carvel," "When Knighthood Was
in Flower" and David Harum."
1t was prophesied that "Trilby"
staged would be Il failure, whereas il
broughtin so much money that a rush
began to stage other novels, a rush
which still keeps up.
Successful plays have been made
from Stanley Weyman's novels, An
thony Hopes, Hardy's "Tess," Barrie's
Little Minister" Twain's "Pudd'n
Head Wilson" and others.
II is said big sum of money has
been paid for the stage rights to "Mr.
Dooley," though how play can be
made from these detached bits is hard
to see.
The fact that in modern days the
plays made from "Robert Elsmere"
ana THE Quick or the Dead" were
failures has not kept ambitious dra-
matists from trying TO put others on
the stage.

c. Oliver Iselin is credited with de-
claring that he will no longer undertake
to build or manage yacht TO defend the
Americas cup, and his retirement will
probably be followed by Nat Herreshoff,
designer of three of the defenders.
1t is reported that ex-President Har-
rison received from the government of
Venezuela for arguing the boundary
case, which has just been determined
in Paris, $3.50, ,O00--some say $25O,000.
Undoubtedly it was one of the largest
fees ever paid, because the interests
were enormous, and there were very
few men in the world who could have
undertaken the argument.
NJ. Santos-Dumont, member of the
Automobile and Aero clubs of Paris,
seems to have solved the problem of
steering balloons. He recently went up
at Vanguard and first directed his

though a southwest wind was blowing
at the time, and finally came down near
the Moulin, at Bagatelle, in the Bois de
