A IMo; For Ssilt Mackerel.
An authority makes a plea for th
rather maligned salt mackerel. It is
indigestible, and consequently dis
liked, he asserts, because its prepara
tion und also the method of eating are
not understood. The first poiut to be ' ties
insisted upon is its thorough freshen-1 chemical change of saliva or malfor
thunder storms. Professor Cleveland
Abbe, the meteorologist, has lately in
vestigated the connection of these rain
gushes with the occurrence of light
ning, but the question is still left to
I be decided whether it is the rain which
brings about the formation of light
ning, or the lightning which causes
the gushes of rain. Further informa
tion on the subject is desired.

A tiirl Among Hie Siioiv-Sliovellir.
Among the many vehicles pressed
into service by the Street Cleaning
Department in removing the snow on
Thursday night has been a big doubla
sand cart, which was brought from
Coney Island by Mamie Hogan and
her young brother. The girl, who is
nineteen years old, drove the team
herself und helped to shovel the snow
into the v. agon. She and her brother
reached this city at 3 o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon, and at once went to
work. They stopped at 5 o'clock yes
terday morning, after carrying thirty
seven loads of snow, having earned
ir"2o.(S. After getting rid of the last
load the girl drove to a feed store,
stacked her wagon full of oats and
hay, and sent her brother home witii
the load, going home herself by train.
The girl drove a stage at Coney
Island last summer. She was be
lieved to be a man when she went to
work on Thursday, as, although she
was clad in woman's attire, she wore
a man's heavy overcoat over her dress,
while a hood concealed her long hair.

revolver, levelled it at the mm and
told him that she stood no nonsense
from any one.
The captain apologized and the girl
jumped on her cart and. drove away.
Once in the course of the night she
applied to the ticket man on the pier
for a larger shovel, saying that hers
was too small. Nov.- York Tribune.

P.jini in Poking some thirty years
r.i, writes a correspondent of the
Washington Post, I made a journey t
this creat rampart. I Fpeut 5veral
!ays on the top of the wall and iovrr
walking and climbing certainly twenty -th
e miles per day. The word climb
ing m n-ed purposely, for ihmt poi
ti-ns of the wall are exec o lingly steep.
If merelv mounting these section iva
exhausting, what must have been the
human toil in lifting all the materials
to the-e rugged hights, from oi'O to
io n) feet? It is true that the wall
runs utraighi up the steepest moun
tain side, follows their summits, ami
as abruptly descends into the deepeft
valleys and ravines, thus d, tying nil
rules of modern military and civil en
gineering. Long portion of the great
wall and towers are in ex client pres
ervation, considering the wear and
tear of 3'M years. Near tov.n5.and
rivers Home of the materials have lvon
rercoved for builditig and other pro
poses. In fact, the w rit r himself car
ried away several of the bricks, older
atirt mrre Morn than thu-e of tue Co:-iseum.
Karl McCartney, of the Pritish Ihn-
bacsv. who. in 17'.'2, visited and mea.-
urcd the wall, estimated that at that
time the cubic, yards of materials: utel
in ita construction exceeded in balk
all the maler1;TB of all the buildings oi
Groat Britain put together. The
writer also took measurement of the
wall, which averaged twenty-five foot
high and fifteen thick, the foundations
being of cut stone, laid in reguhar
courses, with mortar. :w hard so day
as the stone itself. The sides of tho
wall, the parapets and tiie towers are
constructed of burnt brick. The inner
portion of the wall is filled in with
earth and broken stone, well rammed
and compacted, while the top between
the parcpots, is paved with burnt btiol:
and stone. About every l!0'O feft
there is a tower, some thirty-live feet
high, forming apart of the wall itolf.
but projecting beyond and overlook
ing the face of the wall on either sad V
These towers evidently formed the
guard rooms or barracks for the sol
diers, and the stone staircases which
led from the top of the wall to the.
ground on the southern side, at wll
as the stone thresholds entering th
towers, were well worn by the f- et of
countless soldier , who, for many cen
turies, passed to and fro on guard.

Kingdom alone, tne value of them !-
jug about Sr00,00. Of the tot a?
tiumber of canaries sold bv IJri; ish
dealers 100,00!) at least are "made in
Germany." for it would seem thai iho
very air of Lngland is so enamoured
of freedom that while its native wild
birds are the finest singers in the?
world, German canaries far outmatch
English canaries for beauty and per
sistency of Pong. I have often heard
German canaries continue a ihnglo
trill for a minute and a quarter, and I
have been told of one whose triil
lasted for two minutes, and had et
least twenty changes of note in it.
This bird was sold for $30. Chioiiy
bred in the Tyrol, round the Hart-:
mountains and in Thuringia, by w eav
ers and shoe makers, the German bird,
are collected in August ami Septem
ber by the dealers, aud begin to ar
rive in England in October.
The. greater part of them come by
tho Harwich and Rotterdam steamers.
From Harwich they are taken to Lon
don, generally to tho "Prown Pear.''
in Leman street, Whitechapel, where
they are bought by dealers gathered
from all parts of the country. P.u
few of tho very best birds come t
England, and when they do it is gen
erally as birds of passage. In th'!
earlier part of the season tin usual r -tail
price is from $1-'J" to $2.oii per
bird, according to the quality of ihe
song, these prices rising lifty per
cent, by the end of the year. It i.
seldom that the finest songster is
thought to be worth more than tiiir. v
shillings by the commercial English
man, consequently the very fine birds
are either bought by German bird
keepers or pent to the United State .
where they readily make from $2' t
SI0 each. The average price for thn
birds iu Germany is live shillings per
pair. Good Wolds.
