A waterspout in AJcnsHg, Bossian Turkestan, June 2, overfloTred the river, destroyed seventy houses and drowned 10 pet-sons. ' A waterspout is a whirlwind which sucks up water at sea and water, fences, cattle, horses, ilc, on land. They sometimes have a circular motion-equal to five hundred miles an taour, with a goahead motion equal to one hundred, miles an hour. The moment they stop whirling the water sud denlyfalls to the "ground in the shape of oloudburst.- ' PETttOIiKVM OIL.

'.. j ST. HE UNA It I) UIf;.S. . The fumons St. Buriiarddogg are very care fully trained. A traveler who vidted some of the mouasteries of the monks of St. Bernard, a few years ago,found the monks teaching their dogs from the earliest stagos of pnppyhood. Not only is physical and mental training in cluded in this teaching, but spirit ija! culture is by no means neglected. At mealtime the dogs sit in a row, each with a tin dish before him containing his repast. Grace is mid by one of the mocks, the dogs sitting motionless with bowed heads. Not ono of them stirs until the "amen" is spoken. If a frisky pnppy attempts to sample his meal before grace is over, one of the older dogs growls and gently tugs his ear. SETTING A BROKEN NECK, The latest triumph of modern surgery is the repair of a Boston woman who had fallen sev enty fact and broken her neck.; The neck was broken just as the neck of culprits who are hanged on the gallows namely, by dislocation of the vertebrae.' Fortunately the spinal mar row was not injured, or the repairs could not have 'been made. Having chloroformed the poor woman, the surgeons had tho pleasure of hearing the bones and ligamenta srap as they I forced the displaced vertebra into proper posi tion. .The woman, on awaking, seemed to think that her head had come off and that it had been put on crooked. The operation sug gests a new field of experiment on the bodies of executed criminals. . " A NOTOU. HEN. A Gape Vtooent man haa constructed a sheet iron hen that promises to lay him a golden egg. . It is finished up to life, full size, cackles, clacks and looks with bn eye at a tints so naturally that it deceives the oldest hoc hawk in the country.

A terrible affair happened at the Lexington Fair Grounds,, where the lessees, Smith A Mer rill, constantly keop many trotting horses for various parties. A trainer, named Win. Kim ball, had in hand a stallion, Sherman's Ham- bletonian. and whipped him so severely that the horse threw the man, turned on him furi ously, and attempted to crush him by kneeling on him. Winging the mark with bis knees, the infuriated stallion began on the prostrate trainer with his teeth, and when driven off by the shouts and gestures of a negro boy, re turned to the attack, and before Kimball was finally released, a wrist and leg were broken, and the flesh was torn from bis breast and shoulder. He now lies in a painful condition, and his injuries are Quite serious. nEOUiaHITV OF HABIT. - One of the most difficult of 4 all the minor habits to acquire is that of regularity. It ranks with that of -ordor. : ' A place for . everything and everything ia itsj place is not more im portant than "a time Ibt everythiug and every thing on time." The" -natural inclination of most persons is to defer until the last possible moment, or to put off till another tims where this csn possibly be donei 'Yet habits oir regu larity contrii nte largely to the easa and com fort of life. A person can multiply jtia efficiency by it. We know persons-who have a multi tude or duties, 'and wlio'f'erforth a vast deal of work dily, who set apart certain hours; for given duties,, and trc there at the moment land attend rigidly to wliaf is in hand. This dons and other engagements are mst, each in order, and a vast deal . accomplished, not by strained ex'rtion but by regularity. ,TIIB PBCAN TREE. The peean tree is foui1 in a wild state in the Woods of various sections of the South and West. It grows to a very large size, and bears yearly many bushels of fine-flavored nuts. Though little or no at tention has been paid to these valuable trees, cultivation greatly im proves them, the nut growing much larger and improving in flavor. The pecan tree lives to a groat age,;ahd continues iong in bearing. There is no good reason why it should not be grown extensively all parts of the United GtHtoa. ' It fa well adapted to - almost any kind of soil, doing well even on rocky hills and waste land. There is' no' tout or fruit tree more valuable and requiring so little attention. In planting the trees the only pbjeot is to ob tain good fresh nuts, and of a good early variety, of large size, from which to grow the trees. If it is preferred to set out the plants, got liealtby trees of a good variety one or two years old. ' V. . THE TIMBER TRA0JS The value of the timber crop in this country is not generally appreciated. Last year the value of the timber crop proper was $700,000, 000 or more than the' value . of tho corn crop. This immense sum docs not include the wood used in cooperage, $54,000, 000, nor the bark consumed, in tanneries, il7.000.000. nir the wood used in the manufacture of ; matches t3, 000,000, nor the imnunso amount of wodd used in the construction and repairs of rail roads. The annual renewals of railroad track require about' 25,000,000 ties. " These ' figures give some idea of the Importance of the timber orop. It is the largest orop of the country And every year in this country, where tree f Trr : , , . . v; v ' : . i -. planting Is bos genera Uy ' practiced -Vi crop becomes lees, and j less-( in. lUwiaUUes,, ? sud there is a corresponding; rise in thr value ol timber in other sec Hons. .

Immigration to the 'United States during the , eleven months .ended Slay SI, 1885, fell oil 63,084 from a like period ending May 31, 1384, the totals being 454.20S Sand' 517,290 respect ively. About 85 per cent, of the immigrants came from Germany, 25 per cent, from the British Isles, 12 per cent from the Dominion of Canada, 8 per cent, from Sweden and Nor way, 3 per cent, from Itaiy, Z per cent, from Austria, and 14 per cent, from all other countries. Since the census -waB taken in June, 1U80, upwards, of 8,500,000 immigrants have settled in the "United State a popular tion larger than that of the entire State of Missouri, and equal to the aggregate of the nine least populous States in the Umon. The high-tide of immigration was 1 reached during, the fiscal year ended June; 30, 1S82, when the total reached 7b8,902.- The total, for the current fiscal year will be one-third Ilbs. Although' the absolute immigration .since June 30, 1830, has been greater in each year than in any single year preceding that date, the relative immigration to the United States was greatest in the five yea;a from Jury 1, 1849, to June 30, 1854 when oyer 1,900,000 im migrants were landed, a total equivalent to eight per cent, of the then population of the United States. ' Daring the current year, as for some years previous, the Dominion of Canada has sent, in proportion to its population, a greater number of immigrants than any other country. Du ring the last five years the .number of persons who .have settled in the United States from Canada is nearly equal to one-tenth of the' whols population of the Dominion. - Severed Persons aad Mach Property strayed by the Electric Flaid.

At Youiigitown, Ohio, lightning struck the residence of Abner Mead sker, killing his daughter Minnie, and seri ously injuring several other members of the fauitly. Three barns were also destroyed near yonngstown. At Newcoinerstpwn, Ohio, the storm was accompanied by a furious tornado which uprooted trees, blew down fences and did great damage to grain. George Brooks' .house in Grant, Clark county, Wis., was struck by lightning and his daughter Eflie, sixteen years of age, was killed, and another daughter named Cora was stunned. The house wa - burned to the ground, but Cora crawled from the burning timbers and was saved. The body of Erne was round almost totally destroyed.'

A Toaas; Wesoaa Bnrtod Anve. One of those ghastly stories of interment oeforelife has become extinct, which causes an involuntary shudder of horror to pass through the reader, is ourrent in Wheeling, West Virginia. The victim, so the story goes, was a young married, lady of 20 years. InHay of last year, three months after her marriage; the lady was taken violently ilL and, after lin gering for ten days; apparently died, There were certain peculiarities about the appearance of the supposed corpse, however, which caused a suspicion in the mind of the attending physi cian that his patient might be in a trance, but after keeping the body four days, with no signs of returning life, the remains were consigned to the grave, temporary interment being made in the family lot in an abandoned graveyard. A day or two ago the body was disinterred, prior to removal to another cemetery. To the surprise of the sexton the coffin lid showed signs of displacement, and on its being re moved the grave-digger was horrified to find the remains turned face downward, the bands filled with long tufts of hair torn from the head, and the face, neck and: bosom deeply scratched, while the' lining of the coffin had been torn into fragments in tbe desperate efforts of the entombed victiitt to escape from her terrible ! fate. Since the discovery the yonng husband haa been prostrated, and. his ifo is despaired of. i 5. The Appropriation Bltls.v The O. 8. House Committee on. Appropria tionr reported the Sundry Civil bill.

( ' "Do you know H. B. H. tho Xruke ot Edinburg?" demanped Miller one day of the officer of the deck. - " "No;" responded tho latter,, "I don't, do you ?" "Do I know H. R. EL tho Duke oi Edinbtirg? Well, I shonld t?ay I did." "Why, where did you get acquainted with him, Mr. Miller?" 'Where did 1 meet him ? well, I met him in Canadian waters, art' me and him was great friends' "I suppose you used to call "on him frequently?" 5". f- : ? Vfttf ' "Yes, I did; an' he never wouldn't let any of the marines bother me with ques tions as to where Twas a-goin' of.' ,Ono day he says to me, 'P.

Afterward when the ship,. which was tbo flag-ship, was in English -waters, a big lintish man-of-war novo m siarht early one evening, and the gnus fromtho English fleet riding at f nchor-fta'luted until the waters were covered with smoke. The old boatswain had seen tho ' flag of the new-comer, and euruiining that it was commanded by his quondam friend, the Duke of Edinbnrg, he Biid denly became very busy "piping the side," and evaded the questions of the officer of the deck in regard to his royal ' friend. The next day the Admiral paid liis respects to the Duke of Edinbnrg, and a day later the Duke camo to return the Admiral's visit. The drams beat tc quarters, and the marines were drawn up and presented arms. The Duke's face wore $ curious expression when he reached the cabin. Admiral,",said he, as he turned from side to side before bis host, ,'is there anything on my back, " any chalk or the like?" I - "No. sir," responded the Admiral.

Uyder, in a paper ou "Legislation Necessary for the Protection of : Ocean Lttdusjiies,' said that 85,000 men and over $30,000,000 of capital were em ployed in supplying table fish i to tho j market, while a large fleet of steamers and 'over two thousand men were em ployed in the menhaden fisheries. He gave a large number of interesting sta tistics tending to establish frw conclu sion, that there had been no decrease in the supply of fish for many years. His -figures showed that menhaden (which are regarded as the food supply of other. , valuable fish) are far from bein exter minated, and that with them as with -.' other food iishea, there sure neiaaons of great abundano and seasons of scarcity, and that up to the present time these seasons have net been affected by human Agency, although what are known as hook and line fishermen testify that their occupation and means Of livoiihood are Beriouslr impaired. ;: i Yet Irom his fexpb- , rienee Mr. Iiyder believed the facts tovV be that, -with tho exception of strfpedV - bass and lobsters, all kinds of gea fislt ' are as abundant sow m they were fiX.--: .
