U.8.Cousul-General at Cairo, in which he says: \u2018The success which has attended the establishment of wills in the United Siates and otber countries in the neighborhood of cotton fields bas sug- 5 gested to capitalists the practicability of trying the experiment in Egypt of fabricating the native cutlon to clothe the people of the country.A company is forming with Koglish and local capital 10 establish at Cairo a factory of about 18,000 ring spindles and 500 loows of the newest and most approved make, and if the ven- lure prospers, it is proposed lo establish wills at Alexandria and other points.The Cuiro factory will be uvder English management, and will be equal in many respects, il is promised, to the most modern and best equipped factories in England.An authorizatios for the undertaking has been granted by the Egyptian government, and assurances have been given that every encourngement will be afforded the industry.The demand for cotion cloth in Egypt ie large and constantly increasing, while Cairo is 8 distributing point not only for Upper and Lower Egypt, but also for the supply of cotton goods io tbe adjacent countries.Egyptian cotton, both brown and white, is well known to be of excel lent quality and can be delivered in Cairo at a much lower price than in England; the rate of wages is also much lower.The Egyptian workmen are clever and easily taugh, and the supply of suitabie labor is ample.In addition to the cost of freight avd forwarding expenses on all goods coming into Egypt from Europe, there is a duty of about 8 per cent.ad valorem payable on all imported goods.These charges will he saved on the home made production, as well as the original ove per cent.paid on the cotton when it was shipped from Egypt.This saving.coupled with the suitability of the climate and the abundance of good labor, furnishes evidence of the practicability of the undertaking.The site of the factorv is in the immediate vicinity of the Nile, whence water for all purposes will be obtained, and the river can also be used for the conveyance of coal and cotton to the mill.A railway runs pear the factory, and a branch line of rails can be extended into the grounds, thus giving direct communication with ail the railways in the country.With the population of between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 people, in a climate where the garments of wool are worn but a few months in the year, the project theoretically has much to commend it; and wilh intelligent and prudent management this venture may be tbe precursor of a movement (hat will make the people of Egspt independent of England for their fabrice, for Manchester\u2019s looms now supply more than 90 per cent.of the textiles coming into the country.Tle enterprise should render its projectors a fair measure of protit and at the same time give the Egyptians the advaptage of saving in the cost of their clotsing, and illustrate for the benefit of otlier nations whether Egvpt offers a medium for the profitable employment of capital in cotton working.-~ ewe What 1s Wealth ?Does wealth consist in money, houses lands bank stocks, railroad bonds, ete., alone ?We think not.The young man startiog in

lere than three hours some twelve acres of territory were burned off.The haseball grand stand and bleachers, a large school house and engine house, 164 wocden buildiugs and 13 brick buildings were destroyed, and several hundred (ami- lies rendered Lowmeless, There could vot have been a betler placo to begiu a blaze.The seats in the centre field Liad heen torn down since last season and the only 25 cent seats remaining were hose occupying a lisngular position in the extreme right of ihe fleld.When tiese seats were completed there were left a great wany shavings and loose pieces of wood.As it bad not rained for some days this spot furnished excellent ammunition for a fire.The boys set the fire and getting scared ran away and the flames got a good start.The second of the series of games hetween the Bostons and the Baltimores had begun before some 3,500 spectators, but 2} innings had been played and the Baltimores were 10 take their turn at the bat in the last part of the third innings when the contest was interrupted by flames, which could be secn rising from the right of the field.The occupants of the bleachers feeling tbe warmth under them, jumped from their seats and tried lo extinguish the flames by tearing the rubbish and scattering it as best they could, but the blaze gathered head way.\u2018The fire department was slow in getting to work and the flames attacked the Louse outside the grounds on the east side and crawled along the fence.Fifteen minutes afler the fire was discovered the houses in the rear of the grounds were attacked and within an hour the whole fence in the right field side, all the seats on the bleachers, the grand stand and the ticket office with all the wooden styuctures contiguous had been destroyed.The fire had also burned through to Tremout street and then proceeding southerly had taken all the wooden dwellings on Burke, Coventry and Berlin streets within its grasp.Having practically consumed everything on the right band side of Tremont it leaped across to the other side of the thoroughfare and proceeded in the direction of Roxbury crossing.The northerly boundary of the fire was Benton street, and its lateral boundaries were Cabot street on one side, and the Providence railroad beyond the ball grounsls on the other.At six it bad reached as far as Walpole and Sterling streets, aod was burning as if not a drop of water had been put on it.Wheo the houses began to go before the flames the scene there beggared description.Children were grying for their mothers and mothers were wailing for their offspring, and it was greatly feared that some of the young oues were lust in the flames.A number of women fell in the street from exbaustion.and had to be carried into the various houses in the vicinity.Before 6 o'clock help had been summoned from all the cities and towns within a radius of ten miles of Boston, and al 6:15 the first out-of-town apparatus arrived.Soon afterwards control of the fire was achieved.A few win- utes after 6 o'clock à Woman was seen coming from a house on Cahot street with her clothes all on fire.She made a frantic rush frow the street towards the ropes when Patrolmen Green and Lewis caught her in their arms, rolled ber in the street, and she escaped with only a few slight burns.The cry was raised (bat five small children were in one of the burning buildings.They were rescued by Charles W.Eaton and a Mr.Gusick, of Brook.lie, who rushed into the building and brought them out.Michael Welsh entered his home to save some ef- ects, but the flames spread so rapidly that bis escape was completely cut off.He rushed to the roof of the building and when enveloped in flames jumped to the ground about 30 feet.He landed on his feet but was severely injured internally and was picked up io a semi-conscious condition and taken to the city hospital.He will probably recover.A pum- ber of firemun were slightly injured, and Chief Webber, who was badly injured was taken to the city lospit- al.At a special meeting of ihe Board of Aldermen this ufternoon iL was voted to request the trustees of the Johnstown flood fund 10 expend, through the Overseers of ihe Poor, the balance remaining in their hands for the relief of the sufferers by this conflagration.Tle luss is estimated at from $300,000 to $500,- 000, although one authority puts it at $1,000,000.Bright's

among Geologists,\u201d Professor Prest- wich, F.R S., read a paper on \u201cA Possible Cause for the Origin of the \u2018I'radition of the Flood,\u201d in which he treated the subject \u2018\u2018from a purely scientific standpoint.\u201d In the author described at considerable length the various phenomena which had come under his observation during long years of ge~graphical research in Europe and (be coaste vf the Mediterranean.Among these he speciully referred to having found the flints of the drift 10 be of two classes, one with bones of animals, carved, and interspersed with the remains of man, and the other, which he termed the rubble drift, containing the bones of animals of all ages and kinds in vast heaps, He cited the confirmatory opinions on this puiot of Prof.Geikie, F.R.S., a member of the Institute, and drew special attention Lo the geological surroundings of these strange deposits, and the manner in which the bones were found.He then referred to phenowena in regard to raised sea beaches, and the constant occurrence of **head,\u201d the large masses of lransported rock, loam and loess, covering the bigh plains in Hungary and Southern Russia, and the ossiferous breccias in various localities.From the circumstances attending these and their surroundings be said he bad been forced to the conclusion that their phenomena were \u2018only explicable upon the hypothesis of a widespread and short submerg- ance, followed by carly re-elevation, and this bypothesis satisfied all the important conditions of the problem,\u201d which forced one tu believe that there bad been a submergence of continental dimensions.\u2018The Age àf Man was forced to he divided into Palæn- lithic and Neolithic, and be considered rightly so.He concluded by suggesting that thus there seemed cause for the origin of the tradition of « flood.\u2014[ Bulletin of the Victoria Institute.\u2014- eee Roncador Reefs.We may or may not have given an

subject.Aas a result of his study of it, he feels convinced that the treat- went of typhoid by copious drinks way be recognized aa a definite method.In order that the treatment may be efficacious, the patient should drink at least five or six quarts of waler daily during the whole febrile period.\u2018There is wo contraindi.a- tion to this treatment ; feebleness of the beart, far from contraindicating the drinks, may become & special indication for them.The results are a progressive lowering of the fever, disappearance of the dryness of tbe mouth and tongue and pronounced seciation of all the nervous, circulatory, and renal phenomens.\u2018These results are due to the oxidation of toxines and refuse material, which are rendered soluble and eliw- inated.\u2018The oxidation is shown by the formation of great quantities of urea, and the elimination takes place by the skin and kidoeys fn the form of profuse sweating and abundant sweating and divresis.This diuresis re-establishies the integrity of the renal filter, and that results in the rapid d'sappearance of albuminuria.This method of treatment has no notable influence on the course or the duration of the disease.No unpleasant consequences bave been observed to result from the treatment, either during the fever, during convales cence, or afier recovery.The treatment, which is very acceptable to tue patient, is easily carried out, even in cases in which the nervous disturbances aie very decided.~[ New York Medical Journal.att.I buy my tobacco In large lois aoû can guarantee ualformitys \u2018Le

Cattle in England Ottawa, May 12.\u2014The Department of Agriculture has received the return announced by cable to bave been laid before the Imperial! Parliament, relating to the scheduling of Canadian catile.Among the new potable malter which this return coutaine ie a dispatch from tbe Earl of Aberdeen, daied on February 15th last, covering the Canadian case, as stated in \u2018the memorandum of Mr.Angers, the minister of agriculture, of January 24.The following extracts from His Excellency's despatch show bow close and accurate is his appreciation of the questions in issue : \u201c\u2018Noue of the observations made by the Minister of Agriculture ss sel forth in this minute are viherwice than interesting and important.There are, however, ove or two special points 10 which I would venture to invite your Lordship\u2019s particular altention.*Referriog to the laws relating to the importation and exportation of animals from Cana a, definition (a).the minister points out that it would be a mistake to assume that facilities exist for passing cattle from Western States of America into blanitoba and the North-West territories.Thies statement is of importance, because it is evident that the Board of Agriculture bave laid stress upon what they consider an opening for the importation, \u201cwithout the knuwledge of the Canadian authorities,\u201d of infecied cattle from the United Slates over the extensive frontier existing towards the West.\u201cWith regard to (b) the laws relating Lo the prevention of the introduction or spreading of disease tbere- io, your Lordship will observe (bat the statement of the Board of Agriculture as to their impression of cases of pleuro-pneumenia having come before the Canadian authorities during the last few years, ia declared by the Minister of Agriculture in Canada to be without foundation.\u2018Ta connection with (c) the general sanitarv condition of animals in Canada, it is a fact well worthy of consideration that the magnitude of the interest involved, and the consequent pecessity for the use of every possible precaution on the part of the Canadian Goverument to prevent the spread of disease in this country.strongly urging at the same time the priority of this interest, as compared ith the question of the export mar- et.\u201cAs illustrative of this contention I may remark that (he Canadian Government has expepded a vast smount of money and care upon the development of the dairy industry, and evidently with good effect.The chesse exports from Canada, which were in 1890 of the value of $9,372,- 212.bave risen to $13,407,470 in 1893 ; aud 1 is interesting and eatis- faciory to note that all but a small portion of this trade was with Great Britain.\u201d LORD RIPON FAVORS CANADA.These extracts from Lord Aberdeen\u2019s despatches are, in fact, a precis of ike Canadi:n contention.Another communication in this Imperial return contains information which is both new and interesting as bearing on tbe Canadian case.It is a communication from the Colonial office to the Board of Agriculture cou- taining important statements by the Marquis of Ripon, under date the 26th ult., that is a little more than two weeks ago, and yet it comes to us in the form of a printed Famperial return, after going the routine of the Imperial offices.\"The following is an extract referring to the opinion of the officers of the Board of Agriculture and their definitions of the disease which affected Canadian cattle slaughtered in England : \u2014 This opinion of the Board's offi- crs has been vigorously canvassed by the Dominion Government on two grounds.First, the admitted fact that these lesions present constant and uniform differences from those found in the lungs of animals suffering from pleuro-poeumonia in this case, and other European countries, in Asia and Australia.and, secondly, the absence of any proof that the disease, from which the Canadian avi- mals unquestionably suffered is contagious.\u2014 .\u201cThe experts of the Board bave, of course, unequalled oppor:unities of observing and distinguishing the post mortem appearances of this disease and if it were not that these admitted differences exist, bis Lordship would have no besitation in accepting their diagnosis, but the fact that such dit- ferences are ackoowledged appears to bis Lordship to raise a strong presumption sgainst the views of these officers, especially when they are not supported by sny evidence of the actual communication of disease by one animal 10 anotber.\u201d .+ * .*Notbing, moreover, bas been advanced to show that the disease in question bas been aciuaily communi- caled hy one animul to another, and in the face of the admitted differences in the lesions from those of pleuro- pneumonia, the presence of causes specially tending to develop sporadic lung diseases and the strung negative evidence produced by the Canadian Goveromeut, Lord Ripon has great difficulty in accepting tbe view that it is merely a type of contagious pieoro- pneumoois, and that it is not a die- ease due to the hardships and expoe- ure of the journey to this country.\u201d *He regrets, therefore, (bai the Board have uot fell themselves in a position to accept the recommendation in the letter from this department of the 15th alt, that the restriction should be removed on the reopening of the trade for the approaching season.\u201d These important statements byLord Ripon strongly support the Canadian case ; and they are, iu fact, a som- mary of \u2018he arguments contained in the report of Mr.Angers.Alaminum Boats and Sleds.Mr.Wellman's American polar expedition, which is now about to leave Norway for the Arctic sess, makes, according to the Industries, à new departure in Artic voyages.Both the boats ani sleigus with which the party is equipped are constructed of sluminum, and thereby copsiderably reduces the weight which the exploring parties will bave to carry.\u2018The bosts are three in nom- ber, and are built on the lines of the surf-boats of the United States Life Saving service.\u2018They sie of about the same capacity as those used by Sir E.Parry in the 1827 expedition, but, instead of weigLing 1,700 pounds, only weigh some 350 to 400 pounds apiece.The aluminum used bas a tensile strength of 54,000 pounds per square inch, and the sides of the boat are so hard that it is impossible to punclure them with repeated blows of the hammer.The sleighs are also made of aluminum, and consist of sheets of well tempered metal, weighing about 26 pounds each, with a carrying capacity of 1,000 pounds.Each sleigh, in adition is fitted with a watertight case of the same metal, weighing an additional 40 pounds, which has a sufficient displacement to carry the eleigh ang its entire load, so that they can run through slush, or be used as boats in open water without damage to the stores.Another novelty is the use of saccharine in the place of sugar asa swectening eubstance.Although a few ounces of saccharine may be the equivalent of two and a ba!f barrels of sugar, 60 far as sweetening power is concerned, it is certainly not its equivalent as a food stuff.\u2014[Scientific American.\u2014\u2014 The Sweet Tooth.In most cases, then.where we fiod considerable quantities of sugar conspicuously maesed in any part of a plant organism, the sweet juice is placed there on purpose to be eaten.In comparatively small masses, it is stored in flowers or elsewhere for the use of insects.In larger amouats, it is stored ip fruits.for the use of birds and wammals.And it is these conspicuous storehouses of native sugar that map in tbe first instance began to seize upon for his own purposes.Himself a desceodant of the fruit- eating monkeys, he bas always remained to a greet extent a fruit eater.In the tropics, to this day, he subsists largely upon plaintains, bananas, mangoes, breadfrnit, and cocoanuts, though ha also depends to no small degree upon spbterravean storehquses of starch or sugar, such as vams and swect potatoes.In temperate clim- atzs,on the other hand, he derives his food more from seeds than from fruits; wheat, rve, maize, barley, oats, rice aud millets, form the staple of his diet, while his principal suh- tesranean food, the potato,is starchy, nol sugary.Accordingly, bis inber- ited sweet tooth feels the need for sugar\u2014a need which he has endeavored from all time to satisfy, especially in youth, with dried fruits, figs, raisins, and other like devices.\u2014 [The Cornhill Magazine.Fat Wives at a Premium in Kaisarieh, The most striking feature of the missionary work at Kaisarieh is the education of the Armenian women, whose social position scems to be even more degraded than that of their Turkish sisters.With the native Armenians, as with the Turks, fleshiness adds much to the price of a wife.The wife of a missionary is to them an object both of wonderment and contempt.As she walks along the treet, they will whisper to one another : \u2018There goes a woman who knows ail her husband\u2019s business; and who can manage just as well as himself.\u201d This will generally be followed io an undertone by the expression, **Madaus satana,\u201d which means in common parlance a \u2018female devil,\u201d A! first it was a struggle to overcome this ignorant prejudice, and to get girls to come to the school free of charge ; now it ie hard to find room for them even whea they are asked to pay for their tuition.The costume of the Armenian women is generally of some bright-color- ed cloth, prettily trimmed.Her coiffure, always elaborate, sometimes includes a string of gold coins, eocir- cling the head, or s\u2018rung down the plait.A silver helt incloses the waist, and a necklace of coins calls attention to her pretty neck.When washing clothes by the stream, they frequently show a gold ring

a well settled country for over 60 miles, and many families will be without shelter or food, The Brooklyn Tabernacle fire, with its million dollar loss, is attributed to & badly insulated electric wire coming into contact with some inflamable waterial io the organ.Probably any evidence that would prove conclusively how the conflagration started lias been destroyed with the beilling.There is evident, however, among insurance men, an ioclinsiion to look will suspicion on the multiplicity of electric appliances with which modern ecclesiastical and other structures are supplied, when so-called mysterious fires occur.The end will doubtless be the adoption of very strict regulations in regard to wiring, failure to comply with which will involve a penalty in the shape of extra pre- wium.The pew force cannot be banished, as it is two valuable, and electric contractors would be doing their clients a service in co-operating in the work of devising and making general such rules as would reduce an evident risk tos minimum.\u2014[Montreal Gazette, The Michigan lumbermen are exercised over the collection of a duty of 20 per cent.by the Canadian Customs ofil- ciale upon boom sticks brought over from Michigan for the purpoee of enclosing Canadian logs to be towed to the saw mills of that slate.These lumbermen are fortunate to get off so cheaply.They are now taking about 500,000,000 feet of lamber annually from the forests of Qolarso across to Saginaw and other points on Lake Michigan witbout let or hindrance, to the serious prejadice of the saw milling industry of Ontario.They employ American laborers and American supplies in the work, and about the only advaniage any Canadian interest derives is the payment of stump- age dues to tbe Ontario Government.If the Federal Parliament instructed the Government to place s substantial export duty on logs, the consequeace would be greatly 16 the advaniage of tbe home industry.\u2014 Ibid.The New York Press charges that the Sugar trust paid $500,000 to se- eure tbe changes it needed in the Senate\u2019s tariff bill.It is to be remembered, of course, that the Press is » fighting Republican paper, of the extremest type, but against that fact is to be sei the other one that the tariff bill in its present shape gives the sugar men almost everything they wont.The Press\u2019s charge will make a sensaiivo, but really the most remarkable thing about it is that it should have been made at all.It is a striking evidence of the loss of pab- lic respect the U.S.Senate hss sustained, a loss made evident by the perusal of the criticisms of almost every leading paper in the Republic\u2014 Ibid.SMALLPOX IN CHiCAGO.\u2014A gentleman who arrived from Chicago this morning says that while there he learned from an official of the Board of Health that there were over 2500 cases of smallpox there when he left there two days ago, and that the disease was spreading rapidly.The mayor and civil authorities are taking every measure tocheck further spread.Vaccinativo has been made cowpul- sory by proclamation of the Mayor, «nd men are going from house to bouse vaccinating the inmates.For two hours a day work of this kind $75 a wonth is being paid.\u2018Ihe gentleman expressed great surprise that no steps were being taken in the province of Ontario towards protection.He came direct from à scour- age iufzcted city passing through Port Huron and the entire length of Ontario, was stopped or examined at no place, either by the Central Board of Health or Muicipal authorities.This is significant when it is remembered that the Montreal Healih off- cers have been relying on precautions Ontario was supposed to be aking.The only thing so far done, is that the Local Board of Health has made arrangements for a general vaccioa- tion.SHORTAGE OF VACCINE VIRUS.Cricago, May 18.\u2014A shorisge of vaccine virus is threatened and the local health authorities are alarmed at the outlook.\u2018This city is using

floating surmounting ove of the largest breweries in the city of *\u201cBrotberly Love\u201d a flag at half-mast.The cause of this was the fact tat the day previous two of tbe employees of the establishment had fallen into (be beer val and were drowned.The proprietors of this brewery, father and son, have been in the business for years, and amassed mn large fortune from those whom they have directly or indirectly rained in soul and body.We have stood at the door of the room where the beer is drawa from the retort in ite finished state, and kegged for shipment, making our observations.In (his room cups bang, eimilar to those at a water fountain, apd those employed can \u2018\u2018tap\u201d and drink whepever they feel inclined ; ouly this, 8 wan stands convenient to keep the score against each man, and this is deducted from his wages each Saturday night.It is astonishing to see how frequently these men \u201cap.\u201d And every \u201ctap\u201d is a stab at their vital powers, a robbing of their families.Nearly every man employed bere hears the mark of this indal- gence; nor is this Grm worse than others io the same business.Should they not bave put their flag at balf-mast long agn?The two referred to above are not the only ones destroyed in their wretched business.Year by year, directly or indirectly, oot only bodies but souls bave been drowned, not in beer vats, indeed, bat in the blackness and darkness of eternal woe.\u2018 Since welearned these facts, we have thought how appropriate io pat the flag at half-mast! Let them keep il so over the top of that building, so long as it continues to be a brewery.Put a a flag a} half-mast on every team that carries beer through the streets; on every train that bears it from the city; oo every keg and barrel going out from this \u2018\u2018distillery of death.Ave, let one float from every window of the establishment, and over the home of ita proprietors ; and let it be the black flag of disloyalty to God, to humanity, and to the best interests of the bome, the community, the state and the nation! Half-mast every flag that bas any connection with the odist.ir THE GRADUAL DEGRADATION OF THR DRINKER.To drink deeply\u2014to be drank\u2014is à sin ; this is not denied: At what point does the taking of strong drial become 8 sin?We suppose à man perfectly sober ; one glass excites him and lo some extent disturbs the state of sobriety, and eo far destroys it; another glass excites him still more ; a third fires his eye, loosens his tongue, inflames bis passions; a fourth increases ali this ; a fifth makes bim foolish and partially insane; a sixth makes bim savage, and a seventh or eighth makes him stapid\u2014 a senseless, degraded mass.But when does the ein begin?At the fret step towards complets intoxicæ- tion, or at the sixth, seventh, or eighth?Is not every step from the natural state of the system towards the state of stupid intoxication aa advance in sin and a yielding to the unwearied tempter of thesonl.\u2014[John Bright.A German doctor bas started a theory that most drunkards can be cured by a very simple and pleasant course of treatment\u2014namely by ent- ing apples at every meal.Apples, Dr.Tuplett maintains, if eaten in large quantities, possess qualities which entirely do away with (hecrav- | for drink.The doctors says that in many bad cases which bave come under his notice Le has been able to effect a care by this means, the patient gradually losing all his desire for alcohol.Good Lord, Good Devil.The opinions of some of our potiti- clans on the liquor question rewind us of the old colored man wbo was picked up in the street one night dead drank aod put in a dark cell io the lock-up.In the course of the night he waked up and began to cry at the top of his voice, \u2018Goud Lord!

is indebted for his information on this interesting subject, seen an entire council conducted signa, seven languages, including English, being represented.The most expert sign talker on the plains | is Lieutenant H.L.Scott, U.8.A.The system is surprisingly simple, so that any intelligent Can ac- : quire its rudiments with little diffi- | culty.The uplifted forefinger is a man.| Making a stroke across the forehead | and held up, the forefinger is a white man\u2014that is to say, a man who wears a hat.The hand making the motion as of combing out the hair is a woman.A stranger enters the | tepee.One of the chiefs present wag- | gles his Land on his wrist, signifying ! vacillation.That means \u2018Who are .you?\" If the newcomer is a Sioux, | he passes his hand across his throat.| That is the sign of the Siovz tribe, supposed by some to refer lo the practice of cutting the throats of enemies.The sign of the Cheyennes is the motion of cutting off a finger, referring to their practine of chopping off the fingers of enemies for necklaces.The Tonkowa were formerly cannibals, in allusion to which fact they hold up a finger to represent a man and then point the finger down the throat.Different tribes also have pictured symbols.That of the Delawares, some of whom have been driven out to the Indian Territory, is a turtle.The eastern tribes revere the turtle because it brought the world up from under the water.Originally the world was covered with water, all the people and animals being up in the sky.They sent messengers down to find land, but without success.Finally the turtle went, dived and brought up a piece of earth in its mouth, from which the dry land grew.\u2014-Washing- ton Star.A Blood Colored Rose.The so called \u2018\u2018blood rose\u201d is believed to be indigenous to a small area of country in Jefferson county, Fla.One thing is sure, it flourishes only in that latitude and is said to have had a supernatural origin near the center of its present habitat.The original bush, which grows on the Grant homestead, near the Aucella river, in the county and state mentioned above, is still stroug and vigorous and has leaves of a light glossy green.The petals of the flower curve slightly inward and are of the exact color of bright, healthy human blood.The odor of the flower is said to be pungent and sickening in a marked degree.One of the most peculiar facts concerning the flower is that the dew which drips from it is a bright pink color, a characteristic unknown in other flowers, no odds how brilliant the colors.In Jefferson county it is known as the \u2018Grant rose,\u201d and its origin is one of the mysteries of nature.Its entire habitat is only in an area five miles in diameter.\u2014St.Louis Globe- Democrat.The Factory Versus the School.Compulsory education must go hand in hand with child labor laws.The continuity and the endless repetition of the factory life stunt both body and mind.The labor may not be hard, the air may be as pure cs that of the schoolroom, but the weariness of the endless repetition of the mechanical action, the continual over and over of certain physical motions, giving no opportunity for change and variety, is very depressing and tends to dull and stupefy the mind of a growing child.The tendency of the school is to awaken the dormant faculties of the mind and stimulate the sluggish powers of the soul.The tendency of the factory is to dwarf the soul and reduce the human being to the level of the machine and a dangerous mr chine, because brutalized and de graded.\u2014Donahoe's Magazine.Chips From Monte Carlo.H.C.King, a prominent attorney of Chicago, has a collection of coins representing 40 different governments.His most rare treasures, however, are \u2018\u2018chips\u201d from the famous gambling resort at Monte Carlo.It costs, he says, $50 to \u2018\u2018get in,\u201d this measure being adopted to keep out the \u2018\u2018common herd.\u201d The chips mentioned are of various sizes, the largest being oblong in shape, about 2} by 14 inches and made of pure ivory, its value belng $200 at the \u2018\u2018bank.\u201d The $100 chips are made of the same material, though smaller, and the others range down in value to 20 cents, the latter being the smallest stake allowable.\u20148an Francisco Call.The Ruling Passion.A gambler, on his deathbed, having seriously taken leave of his phy- fician, who told him that he could not live beyond 8 o'clock next morning, exerted the small strength he had left to call the doctor back, which, having accomplished with difficulty, for he could hardly exceed a whisper, \u201cDoctor,\u201d said he, \u201cI'll bet you 5 guineas I live till 9.\u201d\u2014London Tit- Bits.An Old Colonial Horror, At Freehold, N.J, a negro was once executed in a manner that would have made the torturers of the middle ages blush with envy.An old document in the clerk's office at that place tells the tale: \u2018Therefore the court doth judge that thou, the said Cæsar, shall return to the place from whence thou camest, and from thence to the place of execution, where thy right hand shall be cut off and burned before thy eyes.Then thou shalt be hanged by the neck till thou art dead, dead, dead.Then thy body shall he cut down and burned to ashes in a fire kindled for that purpose, and may the Lord have mercy on thy soul.\u201d Mutilated, but Wiity.A soldier who was an inveterate joker and punster, having had his | nose, left cheek and a portion of his | chin carried away by a shot in the .battle of Shiloh, was asked by some ' of his comrades if they cculd do anything for him.\u201cBoys,\u201d said he, The vast facilities of J.C.Ayer & Co, of Lowell, Mass., enables them to pluce The Buperior Blood-purifier\u2014 Ayer\u2019s Sar-
