Of tbese there are four, the fourth being the lowest, and one placed in it is deprived of shore leave for a period of three months. For some breach the executive officer of the United States ship Juniata found it necessary to place a man on the fourth class, who decided to try to obtain a mitigation of his sentence.

The Colossus of Rhodes was cast in over 100 pieces and fitted together. Traces of prehistoric city have been discovered not far from Zanzibar, in Africa. There are in the world 261 blind asylums and training schools, with 11,- 780 inmates. At the beginning of the Christian era the relative values of gold to silver were as one to nine. Quails whose combined weight is 100,000 pounds are sold every day in the Parisian market for food. All the ancient Egyptian paintings were executed according to a code of rules laid down by the paiesthood. The largest church in the world is St. Peter’s, in Rome; the smallest a church ten feet square in the Isle of Man. The wife of Mr. Vankieker, of Leeds, Canada, recently gave birth to four children—two girls and two boys —one of whom has three hands. We eat every year in this country about five and a half millions of oys- ters—raw, stewed, fried, roasted, pickled, scalloped and in a pate. Louis XVI. did not - behave with overwhelming dignity at his execution. On the contrary, he screamed for help, struggled with the executioners and begged for mercy. Most of the transportation in Ha- vana, Cuba, is furnished by little horses hitched to a Victoria. There are 3000 of those rigs in that city and but one horse car line. Soil in Egypt is tilled by exaetly the same kind of plow used there 5900 years ago. The furrows made are ex- tremely shallow and the clods are further broken up with a big woolen cudgel. Two basket mills at Dover, Del, are now turning out 9000 peach bas- kets per day The work is done with great ease, rapidity and precision. The fastest basket maker in the Dover mills makes from 250 to 300 baskets per day. He is paid one cent per bas- ket. In some of the London churches the old fashion of open-air pulpits has been revived. These pulpits are of stone, with heavy oak sounding-boards. Chairs are placed in the grounds of the church. The hyms are printed in hugh letters and hung from posts. These open-air services are well at- tended. During the Peninsular war the British Twelfth Royal Lancers Regi- ment plundered a convent. As a pen- ance the authorities ordered that the regimental band play three tunes, the Vesper Hymn, Spanish Chant and Russian National Anthem, as soon as last post, 10 o’clock p. m., is sounded every night for 100 years, What was at that time imposed as a punishment is now looked upon as an honor, so much so that it is never omitted. A farmer away down in Somerseb County, Maryland, finds that his straw is worth more than his wheat. He produced 630 bushels of wheat on thirty-three acres, or about nineteen bushels to the acre, which at the price ruling when the calculation was made indicated for the crop a value of $12 per acre. His straw weighed two tons per acre, and was worth $8 per ton, or $16 per acre. The aggregate value of the grain was $403; of the straw, $528. a The Venice of Siam, Bangkok is only one hundred years old, but it has over haif a million of inhabitants. It has grown very rap- idly, and is the largest town between Calcutta and Canton. «It is surrounded by walls and canals. The town proper is on the left bank of the Menam, but vast suburbs prolong Bangkok to the right bank. Canals traverse the city in all di- rections. It is only within the last few years that streets like those of Europe have been made along the river and in the vicinity. Nev rerthe- less, the transit through the city is by water. From a distance ‘‘The Venice of Siam’’—which is larger and more elab- orate than that of Italy—presents a most picturesque appearance. Vast pyramidal pagodas rise above the waters and the ships and the trees, em- bellished with mosaics which glitter like gold in the sun. Houses of European construction are built on terra firma near the port. The royal palace is one of these, and is a fine edifice in the Italian style. The native houses are nearly all sculptured and ornamented with pic- tures and leaves of gold. They wane the banks on both sides tas Mena. The legations and consulates which the French gunboats lie--are a little below Bang Kolem. Half the population of Bangkok counsists of Chinese. —— Pittsburg Dispatch. ———— Not Taking Any Chances. A certain judge in Chicago, who rather prides himself on his vast and varied knowledge of law, was com- pelled not long ago to listen to a case that had been appealed from a Justice t the Peace. The young practitioner who appeared for the appellant was long and tedious; he brought in all the elementary text-books and quote: the fundamental propositions o: law. At last, the judge thought it was time to make an effort to hurry him up. “Can’t we assume,’’ he said, blandly, ‘that the court knows a little law it- self?” “That's the very mistake I made in the lower court,” answered {he young man; ‘I don’t want to les 1v deleat me twice.’ —Argonant. — A tunnel under the don was proposed in tunnel was finished in asard.” He went. -off How Is It Used. A country *swn in one of our Mid- dle States, in which is a sectarian college, was startled by the suicide ot onc of the college students. He bad become a confirmed drunkard; and enfeebled in mind and body; conscious that his career in college was over, afraid to go home, in despair he sought death. His brother was sent for to take the dead boy home. He found the President of the cullege, and said to him: “My mother three years or more ago sent you her youngest son, her Benjamin. He was a healthy, honor- able toy, who, when he left home, had never touched a drop of liquor. There is nothing to carry back to her but this poor diseased body. Who has done this? Who is gui ty?” The venerable president was deep.y moved. ‘Not 1,” he said. ‘'‘The facu ty were interested in him. When he began to go astray they remon- strated with him. I pleaded with him. Every infiuence that we could exert was brought to bear. But he went down as if drawn by some invisible hand.” ‘Whose was this hand? As the dead boy was carried down th: street, a pretty young girl looked out of a window of her home, and saw thie hearse. She remembered how, nearly three years ago, vexed at his blindness to he: char.us and his eage*- ness for study, she had used al her little wiles to attract him; how she had succeeded: how mad he was in his admiraticn of her. There was a club in the college composed of students of free social habits. At their late suppers wines were used, and stikes were played for at their card tables. She had urged him to join the club, and had praised their manly” ways: their freedom from hoyish re-traints. ‘They wer men of the world; she never could care for any man who had not seen life.” He had jeined the club, and this was the result. : The s«illv, frivolous girl gave a sigh, and then laughed nervously. It was & pity! She had lost an admirer. But whc was to blame? Not she. She knew other men of the world who would not bz driven to suicide by a few glasses of liquor! She went on her foolish, cruel way. This is a true story. stripped of its worst details. In every coilege town there are young girls whose influence, unfortunately, is stronger over the students than that of their wisest and dearest friends. How do they use it? — Youth's Companion. So Say We All. Alphonse Karr, the gardener-poet, was present at a banquet given by the followers of Hahnemann, the founder of homwopathy. Toasts were given to the health of one medical celebrity after another by different members of the company, till av ...st the president remarked: “Monsieur Karr, you have not pro- posed the health of any cae.” The poet rose and replied modestly, “1 propose the beaith of the sick.” Bill Nye Observes.
