According to tho otllelal statement of the Auditors of tho World's Fair, tho net profits for the month of May and June aggregated 1,127,417.7S. The receipts from various sources since July 1 have been over 1,000,000, and tho floating debt has boon largely reduced since that date.

Be a companion to your husband if he is a wise man; and if he Is not, try and make him become your companion. Raise his standard; do not let him lower yours. Once in a while lot him have the last word; it will gratify him and be no particular loss to you. Anti cipate the discovery by your husband that your "only a women:" if you were not he would not care about you. Let him know more than you do once and a while: it keeps up his self-respect, in you will be none the worse for admit ting that you aro not infallible. The last legislature passed a law pro viding for the registration in the office -of the Register and Reoorder of all births and deaths in the respective counties of the Commonwealth. The township and borough assessors are to gather this information and for each birth and death reported to the Com missions are to receive five cents, to be paid out of the county funds. The clerk of the Orphan's Court is to be provided with suitable books in which such regis trations are to be recorded, and for every such registration la to reoeive five cents. Assessors who neglect to comply with the provisions of the law are to be fined 910 for every omission, and persons who refuse information to the Assessor are subject to a similar fine. Ex. Those who achieve most are not always accounted greatest by the people whose collective judgement make up publio opinion. Many a politician whose life is given up to trickery and whose days ftDd nights are snout in scheming, re ceives more praise than the unostenta tious individual whose honest work and genius make possible for mankind achievements lmiossible before. But for all that the world is gradually coming to a better appreciation of what really constitutes a great man. In the old days of kingly rule, when "the divine right" passed unquestioned, and the voice of the people was but an indibtlnct murmur that rarely reached so high as to disturb a throne, the popular hero, the great man, was the ruler, the muster whose bidding was imperative, whose right was tradition, and whose authority was that given by might. But with the spread of repub lican ideas, with the growth of the belief that it is the people who are masters, the world's ideas has . been changing, until it is now more nearly approximates that of the Great Teacher -who bade the greatest be a servant and tho chief minister.

The load which is produced bra dens jrowd of persons Is generally token at 80 to 100 pounds per square foot and ia con ddered to be the greatest uniformly dis tributed load for which a floor heed ba proportioned. That this value may ba largely exceeded in an actnal crowd was pointed oat by Professor W. C. Kernot f the Melbourno university, Australia, a a paper before the Victorian Institute A Engineers. In an actnal trial a clasa it students areraglna; IBS. 8 pounds each in weight were crowded In a lobby con taining 1,828 square feet, making an av wage floor load of 184.7 pounds. There waa still room to hare placed another man, which would have brought up the loading to 143.1 pounds per sqnare foot. Professor Kernot also quoted from 3toney, who plnced 68 Irish laborers traging 158 pounds each in weight in in empty ship deckhouse measuring 07 qnare feet floor area. This waa a load of 147.4 pounds par square foot. In an ther test, with 78 lalrarers crowded into a hnt 9 feet by 8 feet 8 Inches, Stonoy produced a load of 148 pounds per qnare foot and estimated that two or three more men could have been squeezed In. It appears from these experiments that while the figures ordinarily assumed of 80 to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor rect for spaces on which there is no eause to induce the collection of great crowds, larger figures, say 140 to 1.T0 pounds per square foot, should be used lor railway stations and platforms, en trances and exit to places of publio as semblies or of office buildings, bridge idewalks, pavements over vaulta and other places where dense crowds are likely to gather. Engineering News. A nsnhful Lord of Othsr Days. There was a young lover who was a sompound very rare of high rank and treat abilities, with sweetness, great modesty and shyness. - Most noble lords know their own value and behave ac cordingly. This noble lord, however, was modest. He thought himself so far so very far below the worth of the fonng lady whom he loved that he waa tfraid to speak. Some women do not anderstand this modesty. Believe me, ladies, 'tis a snre and certain sign of a noble character, because only a lofty oul can conceive the existence of a god less. We measure others, you see, by jursolves. It is also a snre sign of love, oecause such a man can only love a wo man whom he deeply respects. Encour ige this modesty, my daughters. Above ill, do not langh at it. This yonng man, iherefore, was afraid to speak, and the lelay, which is at first, I am told, pleas Jig and exciting, began to grow inonoto lous. One day they were playing cards for jioney, after the fashion of their gen oration. The lady won; the loser paid. "It is," he aald, "half a crown. I wish adeed it were a crown." "At least," replied the lady, "your srdshtp can give me a coronet." And behold a miracle! For his tongue was loosened, and his eyes glowed, and lis lips spake. They lived happy, one nay add, though it is an unusual ending jo a story, aver afterward. Walter Be tant In London Queen. The Oatrleh and IU Kit- I am rehearsing a few of the peculiarl Ae of the creature which have made it f interest ever since the daya of Job, ''which leaveth her eggs in the earth and tvarmeth them in the dust." It would tppear to be an evidence of cunning rather than stupidity for Mrs. Ostrich adopt this very simple method of in jubation. However, it has its disadvan ges, for while she is away getting a food dinner her enemy, the white necked srow, splea the unguarded nest. He mows he cannot break one of those nammoth eggs and devises a shrewd plan to help him. Taking a stone in his oeak he flies over the spot, calculates ,vith bird sagacity the necessary dis :ance and drops the stone. Flunk! An )gg is broken, and ha descends to his feast. This is said to be the same kind f a raven that fed the prophet Elijah. Sis wisdom seems almost of a supernat iral order. It is said that the cry of an Mtrich is like the roar of a lion, and the 3ottentota often run from it in fright intil they see the bird. Detroit Free t?re8a. A Bemarhabla Bdtad Tram Bombay.

Tobaeeo and Microbes. Dr. Tassinari haa published in the lalia Termale the result of an investl fation into the effects of tobacco amoke microbes. He finds that the smoke if the Cavour, Virginia and Tuscan ci purs and all black and chopped tobaccos ossesses a very pronounced bactericide lower, especially against the bacillus of tsiatio cholera. This microbiclde action nay in all probability be attributed to he products of nicotine. - In epidemics if cholera and typhus the use of tobacco nay be rather useful than hurtful.
