. T. j rT7T--; 1 GENERAL ITEMS. The annual waste by fire in the United States is somewhat over $1QO,OOQ,00, and it is computed that fully 90 per cent, of it is due to. causes tliat are easily avoid able. A cotton- fabric which has been patented in England lias the ap poa ranee and soft feel of chamois feather, and it fo guaranteed will not lose its special qualities when washed. " Louis Conlon of Montlncon, France, has probably the longest beard in the world. He is scarcely five feet m height; his beard measures seven feet, and -he wears iT around lus neck. Horton Bailey of Omaha is suing for divorce, and one of his allega tions is that his wife once hit him on the headiwKh a picture frame, in which was the motto, "God BJess, Our Home." The arrival of a Chinese lauudry lnan at Albany, Ga., has caused tihe greatest excitement among the colored" people, who threaten to cut short his life if he does not abVeviate his'stay in the place.. Some genius with a fancy for biandling babies has figured out that a piece of wood the size of a month old baby would be worn & down one-half-.in six months if addled as. m uch as the average baby. The young ladies .of the Wiscon sin, university are studying carpen try and they are gaining profici ency in., the mechanical depart ment a3- rapidly as in the more intellectual studies in .which they are engaged. The -roost successful electric beaks' is controlled by a dynamo on the locomotive. In case a train breaks in- two sections a separate motor automatically stops the train. " The system is made Ug of a serjes of magnets on each warn Under the terms of a will left by an Iowa man, the same gold watch, was left to. thirteen different persons.. He was not friendly with any of them, and he probably did it hoping they would fight each other, which they are doiDg in a lively manner. The total imports into this coun 1ry in 1789 aggregated $23,000,000 in value, against $733,5000,000 ior . t&a past, twelve months,. while the .exports were $20,000,000 and $723,500,000 respectively. Great Britain furnished the bulk of the imports and received most of the exports, the latter reaching $6,888, 978 in 1789, in comparison with $358,240,000 in 1888. The Boston Budget is authority ior the statement that shirts are being, made out of paper at a fac--tory in a New Jersey town. They are made of manilla paper, com bined with other properties, and are peculiarly adapted- for winter wear owing to the properties possessed by the paper as a non conductor of heat They have a warmth preserving power far out of proportion to their thickness and weight, and are said to wear and wash as well as linen. Saturday, lrom neon,, all the year round,, is a legal half-holiday - within the state of New York. No other state has as yet framed a simitar law, yet the majority of bussiness houses in every large city throughout the country volun tarily close their doors Saturday afternoons during - the summer months, and many of them during a part of the - spring and autum, and some throughout the entire year, and a very lavge proportion close' as hour or sa before six o'clock,:-on the first five week days, , We are acquainted with quite a ' number of persons who "get more papers now than I can read and do not want a local paper.' as long as they can borrow it from a. neighbor. These fellows always take a "family journal!' published jn New york or somewhere, con taining thrilling and blood curd ling romance such as make ' the young dispise, home and yearn for the day when they can break away from home restraint and go out in the far west and become 'bad men" and die with their boots on. Ex. Four years ago when the repub lican treasurer of the United States turned over the money in his keep ing to his successor he was found to be 2 cents short. The coins, however, were alterwaids found on the floor, where they had been dropped during the count. When the late democratic treasurer turned" over the funds in his charge, his accounts were found to be $35 short. It was not dishon esty, probably, but baa book keeping; but the incident serves to, show the dailereiiee in transact ing business under the two ad ministrations. The talk of giving Grover Cleve land the democratic nomination for the presidency in 1802, brings out the fact that the democratic party has never nominated for the presidency but one defeated can didate. That was Jackson. De feated in 1821, both before 'the people and the house of represen ta'ives, he was nominated in 182S and elected. Van Buren, defeat ed in 1840, was refused a renomi- nation in 1844. Cass, defeated in 1848, was refused a renomina- tion in 1852. Even Tilden, de feated in 1S76, as his friends claimed through fraud, and with the strongest claims on his party that a man could have, was re fused a renominatiou in 1SS0. REAL ESTATE BOOM. An ente'rprising real estate firm at Santa Clara county, Cal., adver tising as follows: "Methers. fath ers, husbands who intend to be come fathers! Look at this offer and weep foj joy. The owners nd proprietors of the town of Bethlehem, the garden spot of Santa Clara county, one lot on the. principal street of said town, just as soon as we can ascertain the the name of said child, and we don't care whether it is born in a manger or in the aii. We do know the offer is free for all, and open to any competitor. Those of you who are thinking seriously of having one will do well to grasp at this offer for every child is not born with asilver spoon in its mouth." Ex. No indeed!
