Car builders report that it ds well, and is valuable for door- les, rails and some other parts of the teriors of cars. The beauty of white ; aud its adaptability to furniture nanufacture have gradually increased the demand for it to such an extent that {has enhanced its cost. 5A late Blue Book reveals the fac! t out of the 239,000 people, more or oy in Washington, about 27,000 are Government employes, This means, ex- plains the Boston Transcript, that there 27,000 people who get living salar that are paid to thém twice a month ust as regularly as the day comes gound. That meansa vast sam of ready money disbursed every month, and in- Qicates the highest ratio of general pros. perity in any capital under the sun. #+ The Engineering News finds projected pallroad construction in the United States to be forty per cent. less than last year, But the number of miles constructed last year was oaly about 4000; so the pros- pective construction for 1892 should be gnly 2460 miles. For 1890 the new con- Btruction was about 5700 miles; for 1559 muck the same, and for 1883, 7000 kiles. tal was about 13,000 miles. A drop f: m this figure to less than one-fifth of its amount is a fact of the first class.

A Western firm that manufactures an imitation article endear. ors to give it something of the genuine flavor by boiling a piece of maple wood in it. Some scientists, however say that the peculiar flavor of maple sugar is dae go the presence of impurities in the sap, and that if these impurities could be eliminated the sugar would taste exactly like pure loaf sagar. Thus gradually is aclence taking all the old time flavor out of life. Pretty soon it willbe giving us an improved buckwheat flour, with no more taste than a piece of chalk, the as with a oaly A romantic, yet possibly true, tale Is prioted by the Kansas City (Mo.) Times about General Sheridan and his boyhood friend, George Dinckley. The latter, it is alleged having been appointed a West Polot cadet, declined in order to let his [playmate £0 to the Military Academy in- stead, the young Philip being eager to se- pure the prize, and Binckley, later known as “Old Bink,” professing to be averse to a military carcer.

In New York State during 1801 the deaths by consumption wore 18,445, ns compared with 13,851 in 1800, This is equivelant to 109 deaths in 1000 deaths from all causes, a ratio decidedly lower than was observed during the last qain- quennium, The ratio has been known (in 1886) to arise to 1387 in a thousand deaths. rr nine men.

An illustration of this increase fis given in the statistical tables of the New York Board of Charities, which has just been reporte i to the State Legislature, The figures show that the number of ia. sane patients in New York asylums has increased from 0537, in 1880, to 16,647, in 1801.

Louis Republic the other day. “Jt is not because there Is any real scarcity in the supply of timber from which walnut lumber may bo made, bat from the fact that the craze for walnut furniture has died out entirely or nearly so. Oak, ash and maple have taken its place, principally oak. The craze for all sorts of furniture in the latter timber is causing a wholesale onslaught on the best timbers in the country, and has run the prices of first and second grades way up. A few years more of the craze for oak will exhaust the supply of best grades and then some other wood will become the fashion.” Bays the New York Sun: The mag: notic needle has been acting ln » very erratic manner recently In some parts of France and Beotland, where ita decli- nation now ls twenty to twenty.fve minutes greater than it was a fow months ago, though ne change has occurred In tho adjacent regions.

Several Towns Badly Damaged and Many Persons Injured, The earthquake which shook up northern and central California a few mornings since, was the heaviest and longest known there since the great earthquake of 1808, while the damage caused was far greater. Many persons were bruised, and there was large loss of property in Dizon, Winters, and acaville, thres towns of the Bacramento Valley, as fires followed the overturning of stoves and lamps. The shock occurred at twelve min- utes before three in the morning, and lasted forty-five seconds. It was especially disastrous in the three towns named, because of the insecure founda tion in that part of the yalley, The soll is rich alluvial bottom, doposite by the Bacra. mento River, but underlying it is quicksand This unstable foundation is proved by the road trains sometimes heavy damage in these towns, twenty miles away escaped almost une harmed, Vacaville was the oentre of the shock, Main street presenting next morning a plo. tare that beggared description. It was blocked with brick, lumber and tangled wires, There is not a brick building on the south wide of the street which was not mors or less wrecked, and some of them are a total loss. The vibrations were at first from southwest to northeast, and then changed suddenly to porth and south, Fronts of buildings tumbled {nto the streets, chimneys were twisted and torn as if struck by a Kansas tornado, and the entire population ran into the streets That there were no fatalities is little short of mar vellous, though there were a number of nak. row esos The fronts are out of Odd Fellows Hall, Masonic Hall, Chittenden's oocery store, Hacke's hardware store, mbo's cigar store, tAmes & Thomas's grocery store, and Joe Donovan's barber shop. Davig's butcher shop was a total loss, Will Patterson and Tom Rogers were sleeping in a rear room and were buried beneath brick and mortar, but escaped alive and almost unhurt, Ray Bene pett's saloon is also a total wreck. It wasa two-story brick, and threes young mea were sleeping in the upper story. The front and sides of the strao- ture fell outward, leaving the beds standing on the verge J. M. Miller's drug store, Howitt’s jewelry establishment, and Blum Brothers grocery were greatly damaged. The Flatt block, the finest In town, was almost totally destroyed, In this block were the Opera House, the Postof the Wells-Fargo flea, Crrstal Brothers I Sv gS. RR Madd's grocery, the Ea offices and McCabe's tin shop. The Brunswick House, a large two-story structure, J. W. Kennedy roprietor, suffered severely, almost every fach of plastering being shaken from the walls of the lower story. The total om in town is estimated at from $130,000 to §200,- oon, In Pleasant Valley, the shock was ter. rific, and not a chimney is standing in the eutire valley. The residence of General (Gates, about three miles from Vacaville, was totally demolished. The new Presbyterian church in Vacaville was damaged to the extent of $09, aad chim were from the Christian Church and adjoint buildings. J. A. Malone's frame bullding on Main street was turned and thrown three feet toward the north by the violence of the shock, His daughter had her arms badly injured. Bosines in Vacaville was almost suspended, men being engaged in clearing away the wreck. A temporary toffics was improvise1, Estimates from San Fran- cisco are that the total loss will be #1, 400, 000, In San Francisco the shock was severe, and the guests in the big hotels were badly frightened, but no damage occurred. In the eightetory Chronicle building the last form bad just been locked up when the shook came. The building swayed! like » pendulum, and the frightened printers ex- pected to see the celling drop, but nothing was even cracked, A severe shock of aake was also {elt at Stockton, Cal, at 2:5 in the mornin For a time ware almost panic strick- en, but no damage is reported.
