THIS IJ'.iSU JALXTf.VO ('An,
There is no lack of road < in Ireland,
tud for tlio most part they tiro fairly
pood, though often extemely hilly.
The car is on the whole excellently snitod
to them, and undoubtedly liianooni, who
introduced them, is one of tlio greatest
benefactors of Ireland. Had tlio Irish
been more punctilious in paying their
debts, tlio Italian would have lmd hie
statue iu overy market town. I may arO
markin passing that ho was originally a
piotare dealer in Oionmel, who, having
soon the possibility of a foituuo in tlio
improvement of the communication®,
starttnl tho first of tlio cars from Clonmel
to Cahir in tlie " Waterloo year." Queer
stories avo told of how lie pushed his
enterprise, particularly by getting up
fictitious competition. The competition
was carried rather far, when one of his
drivers burst triumphantly into his
oftleo one day, liogging lialf-a-orown of
his honor to drink his honor's health,
since "he had just bruolt tlio heart of
the brown maro " in tlio opposition con
veyance by pushing her hard up the hill
of so-nud-so, tho mare being, of conrso
Rfanconi's own.
Tlio car, I repeat, is well adapted to
tlio country ; it is generally to be ob
tained on n few minutes' notion, mid tho
drivers in default of relays, will tako
their passenger incredible distances.
The man who drovo mo from Dunglow
brought mo on to Ardara from Glentios,
wh re wo had failed to find a clianga. I
expressed a fear that I might bo
"planted" at Ardara should wo bo
equally unfortunate there. "Hure, sir,"
said my friend, "and sooner than ye
shall bo bate I'll rowl yo oil to Carrick
myself, aye and to Rillybego to the back
of tliat" I may remark that the hills iu
somo places wore tremendous. Yot the
Irish oar has its obvious drawbacks. It
shakos you even with tolerable springs
on the smoothest roa ls, and where tho
roads are rough tho jolting is terrible,
ft exposes ono to tho wind and the
/reatlier, though much may bo gained
by sitting tlio loosidc. And, although
seated either for four or six bosides the
driver, it will hardly carry mora than
two people with comfort if tlioy have
any quantity of luggage. When two
share the expenses of a private car they
are cheap enough. I liavo found tho
ordinary charge for posting to bo BtL
per Irish rnilo ; while the drivers seem
generally to exoeot tho other 4J. In
deed, they make themselves so agreeable
that though tho "tip' 1 norois high it is
difficult to gi ndge it their. —Cor, London

Until lately most of the Rupply of
sugar in Denmark was imported. Now
the material for sugar is provided within
the bouudorias of the kingdom. Six
years ago tho Danes made 2,000,000
pounds of boot-root sugar, and four
years later tho figures rose to 8, GOO, 000
pounds. The production of 1883 ex
ceeded that of 1881 by fully 2,000,000
pounds.

The wife of the jailer, at Oconta, Wis.,
was left on guard and armed for the day
with a pistol, which ber son doubted she

a test by putting on a prisoner's costume
and whooping at her.
Thorc Is littlo of interest now to be

All the relios of hi 3 stay there were long

The fire engines in Italian cities are
still the same little hand pumps used in
the beginning of the eentmy; not a
single steam fire engine exists on the
peninsula, owing to the rarity of fires,
but a movement is now on foot to intro
duce steam engines according to the
American style.
Dr. Spitzka says the popular delusion
that the human eye has an inflnence
over insane people similar to that claimed
for the same organ over wild animals, is
one that is often ridiculed by the insane
themselves. He adds that whoever at
tempts to utilize the notion will recognize
its absurdity.
A dealer in cod-liver oil in marseiile3
advertises that his fish are caught in a
safe and quiet harbor, where marine
monsters cannot enter to frighten them
into diseases of the liver. "They live
there," he says, "in peace and comfort;
their livers are healthy, and this Is the
reason why my cod-liver oil is the best."
That the cars upon the rails of certain
railroads creep lias been a matter for com
plaint which every one has heard. It
will be greater news to many to know
that the rails on sleepers creep, too, in
the direction of greater traffic. On tho
St Louis bridge proper the rails have
been known to creep 260 feet in one year,
and on the bridge approach 400 feet
It is said that the sand used in tho
manufacture of mirrors is now used by a

baked in ovens at a very high tempera

It has been discovered by experiments
with dogs placed under the influence of
morphia even to coma, that the hypo
dermic injection of solution of thoino,
the active principle of tea, is an almost
instantaneous antidote, neutralizing the
effect of the narcotic, and reviving tho
animal, after the action of the heart has
become imperceptible. Cafeine possesses
similar properties, but is loss immediate
in its operation.
Fredericksburg, Virginia, lays claim
to the distinction of being the burial
place of Edward Heldon, a contempo
rary and one of the pall-bearers of the
immortal Shakespeare. A red sand
stone slab marked the grave in St.
George's churchyard until it was mis
placed by Bnrnsidc, who cut a road
through the burial ground and removed
the stone to the Masonic cemetery,
where it now lies under a locust tree.
It was in Fredericksburg that the
