As tobacco is extremely dear, the Rus sian peasant makes a very good-looking cigar out of cabbage leaves and writing paper, the smoking of which makes him perfectly happy. Connecticut leads in longevity in this country. The majority of very old people are women. Among men, soldiers and farmers are the longest lived. A recent investigator found one hundred ministers who had passed the century limit, but he found only thirty doctors, ten law yers and ten actors. During the last 100 years the Eng lish race has multiplied fivefold, the Russian fourfold, the German two and a-half fold and the other Euro pean races in a smaller proportion; Italy having . nearly doubled and France and Spain having added only abouLfifty per. cent to their popula tion. An. -easy problem would be to find the length of time before the English race will rule the world. It is in the Pacific ocean that what is probably the deepest water on the surface ot-the globe has been found English scientific explorers dropped the Bounding line 4,575 fathoms, about five and one-fifth miles. The American steamer Tuscarora sound ed 4,600 fathoms east of Japan. Thus it would seem that the greatest heights of mountains and the maxi mum depths of the sea very nearly correspond. The tombs of Esther and Morde-1 cai are in a poor little shrine in Ilam adah, Persia. They are covered each by a wooden ark, on which are small pieces of pappr like labels, covered with Hebrew characters. 1 hey are placed there by the Hebrew pilgrims. All are under a small dome some fif ty feet high. The building is of red bricks, the walls much patched with mud ; the blue dome is of tiles. These tombs are heldsacred by all Hebrews in Persia, nnd thousands make pil grimages annually. Strange things have been done in recent years in the way of moving buildings and large masses of stone and brick, but none h ive been more curious than the moving of a brick factory chimney in Salem, Mass., a short time ago. The chimney was ninety feet nigh, and only six and one half feet at the base. By the aid of six workmen this clumsy structure -was lifted, moved a distance of one hundred feet; and safely deposited upon a new foundation. A sway of only three inches would have been enough to bring the whole mass down like so many bricks in a Buddenseck building. The load weighed 130 tons.

N.

In the vat a quantity of alum and ooppflr plates are added, and theinnocent cucumber or onion subjected to contact with these harm less ingredients for a term 'of trom three to nine hours. The pickles are then carefully washe 1, and are, ready for the palates of the public. One dealer said he discountenanced the use of copper plates, and said that he only used crystal of blue vitrol, a most appetizing adjunct; This high ly agreeable method of "greening" the pickles and poisoning Ihe public will not be further permitted by the health xffioefc ;: ' He prefers his pickles straight. - A;: -fc'-;-,.

The wearied man responded: "I feel discouraged." "Tut ! You mustn't give way to grief in that despairing way. You know what the poet sang: "Hope springs eternal in human breast.'' "Ah, yes! But it ain't for me. When a man's seen what I've seen hope ain't for him." "Bless my soul, what can have hap pened ?" "i n tell you. Mayhap it will give relief. You know how steady I ve been sitting up to Miss Hopsnood?" "Everybody knows you sat up to her like a sick kitten to a warm stove."

So I believed she was all right and wouldu't hear to a word contrary." "Thafs right Don't never listen to busybody talk." "That's what I was determined till to day. A person told me a little while ago that he saw Tom Mill escor ting Kate home from the matinee. That didn't worry me. I knew he was all right and thought everything of me. So I started up to call on her. It wasn't my night to pay my regular visits, but I wanted to go, just to show them I knew it was all right I met her ma at the gate. She said I'd bet ter not go in.

Something told rrie to keep a stiff upper lip and not be discouraged. And I determined I wouldn't. So I walked right into the parlor, and then " "What?"

Oat all Night in London. We, too, turn round, and proceed over Blackfriar's bridge. Alas ! what a sight is here! Huddled together out of the wind are quite a large num ber of midnight wanderers ; starved, cold, and helpless they appear. Some have sunk to their full length on the hard pavement at the foot of the bridgehead, and one we meet further on is a woman, with a piteous-looking baby face peeping from the folds of her tattered shawls. Others stand against the wall with hands in pock ets and shoulders raised, sheltering themselves from the cold blast which sweeps bo keenly over the river. The deeply recessed seats are crowded with wretched occupants, thronging together to obtain warmth and rest and slumber. , . . Over sixty poor wretches have thus been found on this bridge alone. They are of various trades and occu pations, and from all parts of the country; one has been a Hampshire laborer, another a Margate ostler, this man a Cambndgee stonemason, that woman a needle-worker from Dorsetshire. Mantel-makers, domes t'.o servants, governesses, chair-wo men, bricklayers, law writers, coop ers,' pianoforte makers, laborers of every description are found among tnem. Dome nave oeen sleeping out in the streets three nights, some five, some one. They object to go to the causual wards, because they allege that they cannot get out sufficiently early in the morning to find 'odd jobs of worR at tne docKs, coai wharves, markets, etc. Another reas on advanced is the objection to the bath. "I should not mind it if it were clean water, or I could have the first dip," said one, "but to go into the water after a lot of others faugh! I cannot stand it !" . On London bridge the same sad sight is presented, and numbers of men and women of all characters and employments, as just described, are to be found, crouching into the seats in search of rest and shelter. For some reason the bridges are favorite resorts of the sleeper-out Perhaps the sight of the silent river, with its rows of shining lamps, its shipping, and its far outlook, is more welcome to the wanderer than the stony streets. In any case, here they congregate, and as many as 150 poor wre ches have been found on London Bridge alone, Quiver. 8am Joneiiam.

In a San Francisco Chinese printing office the the manner of putting a newspaper on the press and printing is very primitive. The editor takes American newspapers to friends, from whom he gets a translation of the matter he needs, and after getting it written in Chinese in a manner satis factory to him he carefully writes it upon paper chemically prepared Upon the bed of the press, which is of. the style that went out of use with the last century, is a lithograph stone. -Upon this the paper is laid until the impres sion of the characters is left there. A large roller is inked and passed over the stone after it has been dampened with a tmt sponge, and nothing remains but to take the impression . upon the upon the newspaper to be. The Chi nese pressman" prints three papers every five minutes, five papers in the same time less than Benjamin Frank lin had a record for. The life of a Chinese journalist is a happy one. He is free from care and thought, . and allows all the work of theestablish ment to be done by the pressman. The Chinese compositor has not arrived. The Chinese editor, like the rest of his countrymen, is imitative. He does not depend on his brain for editorials, but translates them from all the con temporaneous American newspapers he can get There is no humorous department in the Chinese newspaper. The newspaper office has no exchanges scattered over the floor, and in nearly ah other things it differs from the American establishment The edito rial room is connected by a ladder with bunks on the loft above, where the managing editor sieeps, and next to it is, invariably, a room where an ODium bunk and a layout reside. Evi dences of domestic life are about' the place, pots, kettles and dishes taking up about as much room as the press. In all cases, no disposition is shown to elevate the position of the "printer" above his surroundings. If an editor finds that journalism does not pay, he gets a job washing dishes or chopping wood, and he does not tnuiK ne descended far either. has Cnueel Isisutd To-Day. ' OpposiU the harbor of Valparaiso sfands the island of J uan Fernandez, sacred to the memory of 'Robinson Crusoe "and his man Friday, wbb kept things tidy and listened to the tales his master told." There isn't a boy where the English tongue is spo ken who hasn t read a description of this island better told than I am able to give it, and it is only necessary to say thai Daniel Defoe, or whoever wrote the book, , must have studied the plaoe with great attention or had tne island created to suit the picture The little harbor is there, with its rocks and cores, just as it was when Robinson, went ashore; the cave is in good order still, and the cliffs up which he and Friday used to chase the. mountain goats. - The goats are there and the armadillos, the birds of wonderful plumage, and the crawfish among the rocks. Every boy in the United States who has read the story recently could go all over the place without a guide and could find every thing except Robinson himself and the faithful Friday. The island belongs to Chili and is leased to a cattle company, who have 20,000 or 30,000 head of cattle and as many more sheep grazing over the hills. There are about fifty or sixty inhabitants, ranchmen with their fam ilies, under charge of a Frenchman named Crawe, and beside the stock they raise a quantity of poultry and ship chickens and eggs, with some vegetables to the Valparaiso market. The timber on the island is said to be of an excellent quality, but is not much used. No one ever goes there without 'bringing away a cane or two as a memento, and the brush from which these canes are made is of very beautiful fiber and polishes welL Ex cursions go over frequently from Val paraiso, and the interest in Robinson Crusoe's experience is much stimula ted by those who come this way. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Decadence of Dancing. A Convention of Dancing Masters now in session in New Tork City is considering the vital interests of , the dancing community. It seems that the laws and proprieties of this form of social amusement need consulta tion and intellectual discussion, and we judge from the limited reports that appear that the industry , seeds stimulating in couneiL Our people do CwVMcYsb" Well cr so often as they did i:y years ago. ' The terpischorean. dalliance has settled into formal and occasional sets in the back parlor and the an nual hop. ; DonbUess it is the deca dence of dancing , that has brought the masters of the art together. They, are devising means to make the American people trip the light fantastic with something of the old time fever and persistency. We hope they may succeed. Oar fore fathers and foremothers went out and tripped it merrily on tha green and joined hands in a gallopade un der May-poles and "melancholy boughs." Why should we not imi tate them? We trust the dancing masters will frown upon the intro duction of the Can-can into the back parlor and stimulate a fresh desire in the breasts of oar sedate young ladies to kick up their hells in a good oM-fashioned jig. Baptised. At a negro baptizing in an Arkan- saw bayou, a rather small preacher conducted a rather large brother down into the water, but only partly succeeded in immersing him. "Look heah," said the large broth er, drawing himself op, "is dis all de baptizn' what T gwine to git?" "Ain't dis ernuff?" the preacher asked. "No.itainV , "Why so, sah?"

The New York "Sun" says that the French, who have made more experi ments in shipbuilding than any other nation, once built a vessel with iron frames, zinc plates for planking, and a wooden deck. It was launched at Nantes in 1852 by the builder, Mr. Gulbert She was a sloop. Her mas ter, Captain Johanue, took her out to Rio de Janeiro for a cargo of coffee. She was a good sea boat and carried a great cargo considering her size. But they never built another zinc boat She cost too much and did not wear as long as an iron one. - Starving Seven Days in a mine. Lebanon, Pa., Sept 8. The story oi a mruiing escape trom death by slow starvation came light here to-day, Clay ton Klick, nineteen years old. is a son of Henry Klick, a wealthy farmer, re siding m union 1 ownsnip, this county On Wednesday morning a week ago he took a walk through the Narrow Val ley to gather a fragrant herb known as Blue Mountain tea. That was the last seen of him uatil late last night, when he was hoisted out of the shaft of a de serted mire about 140 feet deep, more dead than alive. . . 4 Klick had not partaken of food since his disappearance. : He says that While walking along he suddenly found him self sinking in the ground and was hurl ed into a dark abyss, striking its. rocky sides several times before he found him self at the bottom. He landed on his feet, which were frightfully crushed, and his legs and body were bruised by the concussion. He lay there day after day in almost utter darkness, within a nar row space six feet square. He was un able to move and would have welcom ed death as a relief to his sufferings. All of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sun day and Monday the sorrowing father searched the hius for his lost boy. He believed that his son lay m one of the mine-holes, but he never expected to see him alive. While walking along the mountain he saw an open air hole near the edge of a hill, and when he shouted into the cavern he received an answer from yoimg Klick, who had just strength enough left to call out The neighbors were tummoned and ladders procured and spliced and by this means he was hauled to the surface, where he swooned away. He had be come so desperate that he had torn portions of his clothing into shreds and eaten them. He is terribly emaciated and it will require careful nursing to save his life. He feet and legs may have to be amputated and his other in juries are of a very serious character. He was to have been married to a country lass on Sunday and the wed ding will take place as soon as has suf ficiently recovered. Smoking and 'ourtlaii The Persian girls smoke incessant ly, and sweeten their breath at everv third whiff with a small lump of sugar. It is a mark of esteem to per mit a visitor to smoke out of the same pipe, and the Persian young man who goes courting need not take cigars with him nor leave the stumps on the front fence as he goes in, for if he prospers in his suit the maiden takes a whiff herself and then passes the pipe to him. If she" alternates whiffs she is in love, but if she gives him a whiff .only once in a while she is merely polite ; Even better Ihio this is the Creole habit of giving their lovers a sort of second hand benefit of . their smoke. This charming trick is performed by the maiden filling her mouth full of smoke and -passing it quietly and lovingly into the mouth of her admir er as she gives him a kiss. If he is gallant he will retain it but a moment and then-return it, in hopes of getting it back aga'n. This is a pretty trick, but it has its dangers. Ii the maiden chances to have the larger mouth the young man runs the risk of being filled unpleasantly full of smoke. Most young men are willing to take the chances. A Captured Devil Fisn. Immense crowds of people gather ed at the beach at Galveston, Texas, one day recently to see a devil fish that was captured on the previous day. Eor some days past a school of marine monsters had been seen disporting in the gulf a short distance from the shore, and all efforts to harpoon or capture them proved futile until one was caught in a fishtng seine. : Ropes were thrown around the monster, Jand, with horses, it was dragged ashore-.. It proved to be a specimen of a very rare fish, the "Oeybaloptera Vampyrus," also called devil fish and vampire of the ocean. Its weight was about two tons, and as it lay spread out on the beach dead, it -had every appearance of an enormous bat or vampire. It was fully sixteen feet wide from the extreme edges of the pectoral fins and fourteen feet long. . The mouth was four feet wide, and was protected on either side by formidable appendages resembling horns, with which it scooped in food. Comfort at Home. Put self last. Be prompt at every meal. Take little annoyances out of the way. When good comes to anyone rejoice. When anyone suffers, speak a word of sympathy, Tell neither of your own faults nor those of others. Have a place for every thing in its place. Hide your own troubles, but watch to help others out of theirs. Take hold of the knob and shut, not slam the door. If the door squeaks, apply the drop of oil at once. Never interrupt any conversation, but wait patiently your turn to speak.

Soldier and Servant Officials Cannot Enterta in tiuests) at Expense of Government. Judge Maynard, Second Comptrol ler of the Treasury, has ' decided an interesting point in considering an item of $400 in the accounts of Paymaster J Stevenson, U.S. W., for expenses in curred by Rear Admiral Jouett, of the U.S. 8. Tennessee, in entertaining the following officials at the New Or leans Exposition: Director General Burke and partyj Governor McEnery, of of La., Btaff and friends; Governor Bourne, of R I. staff and friends, the Mexican commissioner and party; Governor Cameron, of Virginia, staff, and friends. .The account was approv ed by Secretary Chandler. The Second comptroller says he can find no law for these expenditures, and that there is no statute or naval regulation which imposes on naval officers the duty of entertaining public officials at the ex pense of f he Government. Growing Opposition. The Western Union Telegraph Company applied to the courts at Little Rock, Ark., last week for an in junction to prevent the Arkansas Tel egraph Company from building a line along the Little Rock, Mississippi River and Texas Railway between Pine Bluff and Little Rock, claiming an exclusive contract with the rail road company. The injunction was denied, because at the last session of the Arkansas Legislature a telegraph latr was passed granting telegraph companies rights of the way on all railroads in the State of Arkansas. The Arkansas Telegraph Company is an exeension of the Baltimore and Ohio system to Little Rock, Hot Springs and other important placeS in this State. Material is on the ground and work will now be push ed forward rapidly. Little Rock will probably be connected wish the Bal-. timore and Ohio system by Sept. 20, and Hot Springs soon thereafter.

Cowhided by a woman, At St. Johns, Ont., Sunday Miss Priacilla Taylor, a farmer's daughter, of eighteen Bummervpretty and en- gave an extraordinary : piquancy to the scene at the door of the Metho dist church. She went to William Warner and accused him of defaming her character. Warner, a wealthy farmer of fifty, got no chance for re ply, as Miss Taylor quickly drew a cowhide from her dresi folds, and in presence of the congregation slashed Warner's face, each blow bruising or cutting the flesh. Warner was in a corner, and tried to grapple with Miss Taylor's whip hand, but failed. Some of the congregation finally in terfered, when Miss Taylor's big bro ther and her father in turn took a hand in and there was a lively row. Quiet was after some time restored, and Warner threatens an action against his Amazonian assailant. In New Orleans.
