In tlio tcuiy years that have elapsed since tho close of tho Franco-Prussian war Europo has doubled her military strength. Although worth $35,000,000 at tho the time of his death, Loland Stanford borrowed money all his life, and said that ho could have profitably used wore. A remarkable disoovory has been mado at Carrog, near Llangollen, Wales. While a number of workmen wero carting Btonos from the bed of tho river Deo, they discovered the re innins of an ancient church, which was washed down by a heavy flood 800 years ago. The scientific investigors at Munich claim to have discovered that "ABiatio cholera' is essentially a poisoning with with nitric acid generated by Koch's comma bacilli." This is enteresting. If wo can't kill tho bacilli, perhaps something can be devised to neutralize the poisonous acid. Tho largest use of -!acards on record was prior to the Pal Election in 1889. General Boulangcr had 15,000 bill htickcrs, who put up 45,000 daily, in all '.100,000. In somo places, when they were torn down after the election, there were found sixty layers of bills alter nating with thoseof Boulanger's rival. Tho collection of postage stamps has brought into existence a pro fessional stamp repairer, who, fcr a small fee, doxteriously repairs muti lated stamps. His specialty is re storing the margin to envelopo stamps that have been cut to shape, and have thus lost much of their philatelio value. Mr. Dobbins writes to the Fittsbnrg Dispatch that tho very objectionable bit of slang, "the wind blew through his whiskers," is not American at all. In fact, it was first usod by an Eng lishman, one Dan Chaucer, who wrote tho "Canterbury Tales." In the tale of "Tho Shipmsn" occurs this remark able line, "With many a tempest had his beard been shaken." Tho Central Peruvian Railway across the Andes starts from sea level at Calluo. It crosses the Andes range to Oroya, 130 miles from the coast. At the seventh mile it is 700 foet above the level of tho sea. At the fiftieth milo tho elevation is about C000 feet and tho ascent is steady and rapid until it reaches its highest point at the lOGth mile, when tho height is 15.G05 feet. The originator of tho Concord grape is still living in Concord, Muss. He is Ephraim W. Bull, now eighty-seven years old, and ono of the promineut men of the historio town. He was a friend of Emerson and A loot t, and has been greatly honored by distinguished visitors to Concord, and by horticul turists at homo and abroad. In his garden at Concord he still shows the old mother vino of tho Concord grape w hich he developed from the seed of a native wild grape planted just fifty years ago. ' The conservative University of Vir ginia could not permit a woman to at tend its lectures, observes tho New York Telegram, but it did suffer Miss Caroliuo Preston Davis to stand its ex aminations in muthematics at the close of the year, and as she passed the whole course successfully the faculty bestowed on her tho certificate of ex cellence and made her practically tho first female graduate of the university. Dr. Thorutou gave to the graduating class the privilege of conveying to her the honorary "diploma and the boys . did it with a yell. Hays the New York Press : Four dis tinct invasions of tho frozen mysteries of tho Arctio region will be under way this year. Lieutenant Feary will en deavor to map tho northern coast of Greenland and to investigate the archipelago which lies beyond. If conditions favor ho may make a ven turesome dash on sledges across tho frozen sea toward the polo. The other American explorer, Gilder, will ex amine the movement of tho magnetic polo. Two avowed attempts to reach the North Pole will be made, one by Doctor Nanseu, of Norway, who pro poses to drift with the ice in a craft especially designed to resist pressure from floes, aud another by Mr. Jack sou, whose effort to cross the ice on sledges assumes that there is no open Polar Sea, and is supported by the Royal Geographioal Society. of Great Britain. Twolve different kinds of theology are preached in four languages in tho eight churches at Wahoo, Neb. Whaling in the Antarctio seas this season Is reported to bo a failure. Grampuses, seals and sea lions are nu merous, it is further stated. For some unexplained reason, states tho New York Tribune, more fires seem to break out on Sunday morning than at any other time of the week. The success of the three experiment farms in Manitoba, Assiniboia and British Columbia is causing Canadian farmers to urgo tho Government to establish a larger number. When people talk about bad times the Baltimore American thinks it would be well for them to remember that there is about seventeen hundred million dollars ($1,700,000,000) of de posits in American savings banks. Savings banks are pretty good financial thermometers for telling the real con dition of the country. The Cincinnati Times-Star exclaims : Chicago that succeeded in planning and executing an architectural and artistio and a mechanical triumph of which the most imaginative Roman poet in Rome's Augustan age could never have dreamod, will continue to bo talked about throughout the world and in places, too. whore all other American cities are unknown. Says the New York Independent : It is the native custom in Tinnovelly to marry with a necklace instead of a ring, and the Church of England mission aries there have consented to the change in the marriage service so that it shall read: "With this necklace I thee wed. " But with a delicious in sularity some of the Angelicans at home are protesting against the crime of the change. The new invention of M. Tnrpin, to whom the world is indebted for the discovery of molenite, the most power ful explosive in existence, seems des tined, if not to render war impossible, at any rate, to render the artillery now in existenoo altogether superflu ous. It consists of a very light gun and carriage drawn by two horses, and four charges can be fired within the space of fifteen minutes, each of which throws 25,000 bullets over a surface of 20,000 square yards. The range of the gun is about two miles. Connecticut is now added to the list of States where the practice of modi cine is regulated by law. Thero are now but nine States in tho Union where the practice of this profession is absolutely unrestricted by any rules whatever, and, the Boston Herald re grets to say, that Massachusetts is ono of tho delinquent States. The only equipment that is essential for the practice of medicine in Massachusetts is a signboard hung outside the phy sician's office, and even this is fre quently dispensed with. Massachu setts is the irregular practitioner's par adise. Where has the duster gone? asks the Philadelphia Press. It is still worn in the West. It still appears on longer lines of travel. Its manifest and sen sible convenience endears it to middle aged men. But on a short line like that between this city and New York the duster has disappeared as com pletely as last winter's snow-flakes. The clothing stores keep them on the back shelves. Few are sold. The big wholesale dealers do not sell a dozen where they once disposed of bales. In a few short years this convenient gar ment has been relegated to the country districts and the provinces. Yet iu cur climate, with our hot, dry sum mers, our abundant dust and long rail road journeys, the duster ought to have become a permanent article of clothing for all travelers. "Kyphosis bicyclistarnm" is an parently known in tho West as well as the East. "Why is it, asks the Chicago Journal, "that as soon as a young man learns tho useful and graceful art of bicycle riding he must forthwith attempt to undo tho work by whieh he was made in tli9 imago of his Maker and seek to transform him self into a hideous mesozoio dinosaur or some other uncanny creepiug thing? The head goes down, the back is humped, the arms assume the position of forelegs, and all that io wanting is a croak to pass for a broken-backed frog. There is no excuse for this abomination. An erect attitudo gives the rider a much better command of the wheel. It is merely a habit due to too much pernicious and unhealthy "soorohing." Woraou who ride wheels do not stoop, Out upon this frog squat, this hump-backed disease, "kyphosis bioyelintarum I" A DREAM. I dreamt that over the wlntor world The winter winds were sighing, And Into the orioles' empty nnst ' The flakes of snow were flying. The vines along the garden wall - With crystal lee were gloaming, And In the garden, dull and bare, Tho summer flowers were dreaming. Tho snow lay deep over withered grass, The skins were cold and gray, And slowly the dreary night came on To end the weary dny. I woke. High up In the orchard boughs A hundred birds were singing, And In the birch-trees' pleasant shade The orioles' nosts were swinging. Along the river, tall and green I saw the rushes growing, And daisy petals white as snow Among the grasses showing. The flowers held the sunshine bright, The breezes wore at play, And swiftly the dreamy night oame on To end the happy day. Angelina W. Wray, In Ilarper's Bazar. MIRE AND MATRIMONY, BI JAMES KOEL JOHNSON. T was "grind in' day" at Thompson's mill in Jim Creek, Lewis County, East Kentucky. The mill was a rival of Black burn's store, two miles above, as a gossip exchange for a large territory. out toward every housohold tho news of deaths, births, scandals, fights, courtships, marriages and other matters of moment. To-day alargo crowd had gathered, for a rumor was abroad that Big Tom Latimer and Polly Ann Rallin were Boon to got married in the face of her father's op position. Tho Rallin family -was the Icadin' one of the county, old Tom Rallin having a large farm several horses and "cow brutes" and, by all odds, the finest breed of cow dogs that ever volped at a tree in Lewis county Big Tim and Old Tom were at the mill, and as the latter was a man of hot temper, a fight between the men was hopefully anticipated. Big Tim was a handsome, good-natured fellow, who would ficbt only when necessity commended. He was standing fitting a stem into a new cob pipe when old Tom approached and said : "I beam you an' my gal wuz fixin' ter marry? "Wo ain't fixin', olo man," placidly returned Bier Tim. "Ye ain't?" hopefully questioned old Tom. "No ; wo are already fixed er haw, haw, haw ! The old man's fingers bunched them selves into hard hsts, and his eyes glittered like new dirk knives a-whirl- incr in the sunshine. "Fixed!" hissed old Tom, "fixed! You lazy, good-fer-nnthin' rascal, I'd hko ter know what you got ter marry on?" "I've got my dad's puncheon floor to marry on, ef we can't get ter stand up on yourn !"' returned Tim with a loud exasperating laugh. "You think ye'r terrible smart, don't ye?" said old Tom, curling his upper lip into a vicious snarl. "Yas, I am smart whar the hide's off, az my olo grandad uster say er haw, haw, haw, haw ! I'v course I'm er smart man, and am well awar' uv it, er I wouldn't have the) brass tor try tor marry in the big Rallin family ! A fool couldn't git a gal like yourn ter agree ter walk tho puncheon er muter mony with him. lie must be smart enough ter keep up the family credit Polly Ann ain't no ham eater, az my olo grandad uster say. She's some puukins herself, an' she knows er smart person like me, as Boon as her eyes runs over his face. I cum from a smart set of peoplo. Ono uv 'em an uncle served az road overseer in Magoffin County fer teu years, an' wuz jist on tho pint o' bein' 'loeted constable, when a gun went off in a patch o' bresh close to the road, whar he wuz passin' along, an' kille 1 him. My great grandad wuz also er smart man. Ho talked six different wimmen inter the notion o' being his wife. Ho waz awful smart ! At tho ago of ninety-six, he waz still smart. He waz peart enough ter set out on the fence, on nice warm days, an' watch his old woman chop off a hickory bush log. Oh, I tell ye, old man, I'm not ter be grinned at by them what has no teeth as my grandad used to say. I'm er smart feller, an' thar'll be no retri gradin' in the stock as long az any o' the Latimer blood iz iu er family er haw, haw, haw, haw !" The monumental impudence of Lati mer was actually fascinating to old Tom. While tho big, good humored fellow went rollicking on in the above style, it was impossible for Old Tom to keep his sober countenance. He tried his utmost to keep looking fierce, but ever and anon he would grin in Bpite of himself. At tbi conclusion of Tim's pedigree he paid : "Tim, I ain't got no time ter hear moro o' yer foolishness, I " "What ye in a hurry about? ye got lota o' time. Tho olo miller sed awhile ago that we couldn't pit our griudiu' till erbout dark, and (glancing up nt the buu) hit ain't moro nor two o'clock now. That bein' the case, we'd jist az veil put in the tiiuo n-gusin' az not. The fack iz, olo man, you're a mighty interesting olo fuller to tulk to. You may not believe me, but I consider you ter bo the only man iu this kentry, outside o' myself, what kuows how ter talk real smart talk tho only man whose traveled and collected food ter feed tho hog uv a man's intellectual nater an' make it srpjeel for more ! 1 like a man that I kin go to wheu the atomaoh uv mer mind is empty an' ail drawn up, au' git the bain an' gg u' knowledge that'll stuff me out an' send me off piekin the teeth o my judg ment with tho pine splinter uv good sense I You ro jist that sort nv er ole man, an its fer that reason az much az anything clso that has canned me ter conclude ter lay my matrimonial claim in your family, and " "Hay, Tim" "I'm er savin jest as fast az I can. olo man. Jist yon stan' back a few minutes, an' gimme full swing. Az I wua jist a goin' ter say, I feel that fer me ter marry in your family will be a mighty good jump for both sides it'll keep the best looks an' finest intellecks in tho county all bounded tergether. I know you think you can't bear to lose yer gal, but lemmo say, right hur, yon shant lose her. She can Btay right with you " "Oh, hush, Tim!" said the old man, grinning and turning away. "I see I can't get no sense outer you. But I want to tell ye now before you string out agin, that you can't have my gal. I'll die first. You know when I say anything I mean it. You are a good-natcred sort uv a cuss in fact too good-natered but you are not fit ter be a husband, and ye can't never hev a gal o' mine." nay, olo man, I want you ter list up an' tell me what you object ter me so strong fer?" "Wal, in the fust place, you haint got no boss." "Is that all?" "Noap ; you hain't got no cow?" "Anyth'ng else?" "Yes; ye ain't got no good coon dog." "What else?" "You won't never have noneT I won't have a son-in-law that has no boss. " "Wal, lookee hur, olo man, you've got all o' them things more than you'll ever need. Jist suppose you give me enough to qnalerfy me ter be come yer son-in-law? You've got moro stock than you need?" "I'd see you dead fust!" spoke tho old man fiercely, as he turned away. "I'm goin' tor have Polly Ann an' one of your beBt horses afore two weeks; I feel it in my bones!" shouted the big, jolly fellow, as the old man started off. "You won't," shrieked the old man, grinding his teeth, and viciously shak ing his fist. "You'll see, olo man. Hit won't do fer such fine stock as tho Rallins and Latimers not ter mix up in matermony cr haw, haw, haw, haw I"' . Late in the afternoon, about dark, old Tom's "turn o' corn" was ground aud he was just shouldering it up, ready to carry it out to his horse when Tim came up and, smiling, said : "Old man, let me carry out your turn, an' put it on your hoss. It's too heavy for you. I don't want ter soo ye kill yerself up, even if I am goin' ter marry yer gal an' inherit yer prop erty!" "You go to the d !" viciously spoke the old fellow between his teeth, as he slowly strained tho bag to his shoulder. "Wait jist a minite, olo man," spoke Tim, laughing, "my turn will be ready in a minite. I am going your road, and I'm shoro you'll want good company ! Besides it's an awful lonesome road." But tho old man was riding away aud ho didn't hear Tim's last words. "Confound that ar Tim !" the old fellow spoke to himself in amused vex ation. "He beats any feller I ever seed. He'd tickle a dog to hear him talk. If he only had a hoss I might give iu arter a while, but never, never, ever shall a gal o' mine throw herself away by marrying a feller what ain't got no hoss." Darkness was now filling the road and shutting out the view of all things. Suddenly an owl brawled out almost immediately in front at an an gle of the road. Simultaneously, the horse, being a spirited animal, leaped far to one side, and then, oh horrors, tho old fellow felt tho horse sinking rapidly into the ground. "My!" ho shouted, while ho at tempted to free himself from tho ani mal, he's jumped into that big miery hole." With these words he mado a desperate scramble to get away from the horse, but the frightened animal, sunk now to his body in tho slough, gave a floundering surge, fell to its side, catching the old fellow s leg, and rolling the bag of meal off on top of him. Both horse aud man were now securely fast, unable to move. The old fellow was almost delirious with fright. There he was, helplessly fast in the slough. And to add further to his terrors, it was turning colder every minute. Of course, in such a place, it was only a question of a few hours when he must perish. And such a death ! A man, in good health, to begin to die gradually without being able to summon a single humau being. His hands' and feet must first get numb. Gradually, slowly his blood must go from the surface, until, finally, it turns to ice in his heart ! He begau to pray, and the lips that never before had trembled in divine appeal now became fountains of beg ging exhortation. Soon he heard the sounds of n horse's hoofs. Then, like a lightning flash, broke on his soul the recollection that Tim Latimer was to follow him on the same road. He stopped praying and began to shout. "What's the mutter?" asked Tim, riding near. "Are ye repeutiu', ole ' man Js that what yer pruyin alioiit try in' ter git forgiveness for tho way ye been talkin' ter me? Bully for you, ole man ! I kno-.ved you waz goin' ter l!op up all right ! (iit on yer horne, ole man, I fergive ye. It's too cold to be repeutiu' down thur ! (lit up an' do yer prayin' au' shoutiu' while we ride along I" "Ah, God bless yo, Tim!" cried the old fellow, iu tones butweea a groan and a shout. "I'm hur in tho ole miery hole !" "Tho nation yon are !" shouted Tim. "Why, what got ye in tho notion ter git down iu such cr place az that ter pray? Wanted ter be az hnmblo az poss'ble, I reckon? Wal, tho Lord likes er humble sinner. But git up, now, ole man, hits er gittin' too cold io stay there." "Oh, Tim, can't ye understand? My horse is plum ter his breast in the mud I'm loyin' on her back, an' the sack flopped across me !" "Er haw, haw, haw, haw, haw, er wah haw-ah-wah!" roared Tim, "ef that don't beat anything az my olo grandad uster say ! Why, ole man, don't yon know that's no place ter be a layin' sich er night as this? I'm sur prised at a man o' your senso gittin down thar. You didn't appear so awful drunk when ye left the mill ! Hit must er flew ter yer hed awful quicK." "Oh, Tim," desperately spoke the old fellow, "hush yer foolishness now, an' git me outer here. I'll die here before much longer." "Of course ye will, ole man, an' that'll just be ter my hand ! I won't have no troublo then erbout gittin' yel gaL Whoop ! I knowed thar wuz some good luck waitin' ter rejuvernate my lovin' soul ! Wal, hit's er gittin' too cold for me ter stay hur enny longer. Good by, olo man!" "Oh. Tim, Tim, Tim!" shouted the old fellow, breaking into a cry, "please, for God's sake, Tim, don't go off on' leave me to die 1 I'll pay you ennything you ax ef you'll git me out." "Will ye give me Polly Ann?" "Yes, yes," eagerly spoke tho old fellow. "An' a hoss?" "Sartinly hurry up, Tim 1" "An' er cow?" "Course, course! hurry, Tim!" "An' er good brood sow an' rigs?" "Oh, Lordy mighty, yas I Hurry an' come, Tim !" "An' cr good coon dog?" "Yas, yas, yas! the best one I've got! Hurry!" "Whoop, whoopee!" screamed Tim, as ho leaped from his horse. He ran to a fence near by and got two rails. He soon had tho old man pried out of tho mud, and then tho two released the horse. Tim rode home with the old fellow. On the way he stopped at Parson Ado's and forced the latter to accompany him. An hour later he was the old man's son-in-law. Yankee Blade. Can Odors Cause Deafness I Everyone does not know that aro matic salts and very strong, pungent odors oro -injurious to the nerves of smell, and often produce serious, if not incurable difficulties. It is well understood that certain scents start the action of the secretory glands of the nose and throat, and often the eyes fill up with tears. Fre quent indulgence iu the use of such perfumes will soon overtax the secre tory organs and weaken them. Some day tho person observes that the hear ing is less acute than usual, and tho sense of smell seems defective. This is, of course accredited to a cold, aivl but little is thought of it. After a time, the entire head becomes affected, hearing and smell are almost, if not altogether lacking, and there are throat and lung complications which are likely to end in chronic, if not fatal illness. It has taken the medical world a great many years to discover that loss of hearing is almost invariably caused by somo disease of the throat or nose, or both. It is said that tho uso of smelling salts is one of the most proline- causes of deafness, operating by weakening the olfactory nerves, and through them the auditory system. All strong or pungent odors should be avoided as fur as possible, especially those which act upon tho secretory processes, and as the popular expression goes, "make the nose run." Yankee Rlade. The Kent is a Rose. An interesting ceremony took place at tho Lutheran Church at Mauheim, 1'enn., the other Sunday. It was tho payment of the annual rental for the ground on which tho church stands, aud is locally known as tho "feast ol roses." In 1772 Buron William Henry Ktiegel, tho founder of Manheim, donated the ground to tho Lutheran congregation, upon which Zion Church now stands. The Baron exacted for his laud "five shillings in cash and the annual rental of ono red rose in June, when the same shall be lawfully de manded. " That clause is in the deed of transfer, and for 120 years the red roso has been paid by tho congrega tion to some descendant of the Baron. At tho services Mrs. Elizabeth Boyer, of ilarrisburg, a great-granddaughter of Baron Kteigel, was tho representa tive of the landlord. On the altar, in a vase, was a huge red rose. An ollicitil of the church council made an address and formally tendered tho roso to Mrs. Boyer, who then signed a receipt for a year's rent of the property. New Orleans Picayune.

An electric alarm bell for use on trains, to supersede the unsatisfactory cord communication, has been success fully tried in Scotland.

The Central Society of Agriculture, of Heranlt, France, promises that a laboratory for agricultural analysis shall be annexed to tho chemical laboratory of the National School of Agriculture at Montpelier in order to deal with chemical manures, the use of which is becoming greater in that department. The Bibliotheqne Nationale of Paris has recently acquired a cameo of large size and finest workmanship, shewing a duel on horseback between a Sassa nid king and a Roman emperor. M. Bableon, the keeper of the department of coins, recognizes in the subject a traditional representation of the cap ture of Valerian on the field of battle by Sapor I. (A. D. 250). One of the most wonderful discov eries in science that have been mado within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lamp-black, colored Bilk or worsted, or other substances. A disk, having slits or openings cut in it, is made to re volve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On put ting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as tho flash ing beam is falling on the vessel. A few coast lines on the world's sur face remain undefined.

A Muscular Magistrate. Judge Coleman, of Butte, may not be a very large man, says tho Butto (Montana) Bystander, but when it comes to upholding the supreme power of the law he looks as large as an ele phant. At least so thinks Mr. Reski, a Hungarian who is reported to have killed a man or two before coming to America, aud, after spending eleven years in the penal institution of Hun gary, left his native country for his country's good. Mr. Reski's aesthetic taste not being suited by the cooking of the partner, Mr. Vago, he attempted to kill him. A warrant was sworn out, but the o ni cer failed to find Mr. Reski. Vago in formed Judge Coleman that Reski was gambling in the Combination. No officer being present at the time the judge concluded to make the arrest himself. Vao went out with him aud pointed out the man wanted and then skipped out. The judge called Reski outside and told him he had a warrant for his arrest. In response tho Hungarian pulled out a pistol, but before he could use it he re ceived a "habeas corpus" under the ear, was disarmed and marched up to court iu double-quick time. As they were going up the stairs which led to the court Reski pulled another pistol, a forty-four Ckdt's saying, "Me kill you now," attempted to shoot, hut again the judge was too tpiick for him, and, knocking him down, took the second gun away from him, and bennies giv ing him a good thumping, read him a lecture on the evils of attempting to obstruct the course of justice, alter whieh he was escorted to tho court room, his case set for trial aud then marched down to tho city jail. Upon being searched a belt of cartridges and an eight-inch dirk were taken from him, iu addition to the two pistols secured by the judge.
