England and Germany lead the world
in the manufacture of beer. There are
27,050 breweries in England, which
made last year 990,000,000 gallons of
beer, while Germany has 25,092, which
produced 90,000,000 gallons in the same
period. Think of it !
The alarmist views as to the increase
of insanity, which have lately been forced
into prominence, are not countenanced
by the commissioners in lunacy of Eng
land. They state in their report that
the apparent increase is due almost
wholly to accumulations in the asylums
of the chronic insane.
An English statistician maintains that
the daily increase of wealth in the United
States is upward of $25,000,000, or about
$b38,000,000 a year, which is one-third
as much as the increase in wealth of the
whole of the rest of the world. Eng
land, whose increase in wealth is next to
our own, makes only a profit on air her
business of $300,000,000 a year, or but
a little over a third of our own.
Now York city has about completed
improvements which will prevent any
future water famine in the city by add
ing 10,000,000 gallons of water a day to
the Croton supply of 93,000.000. This
extra water supply comes from Rye lake,
which is fed exclusively by springs. The
new reservoir covers an area of 2G0 acres.
From this an iron pipe, four feet in
diameter, is laid a distanee of over
fifteen miles, connecting with the Cro
ton mains.
A Frenchman has sent a circular to all
his friends asking why they cultivate a
beard. Among the answers 9 stated,
'because I wish to avoid shaving;" 12
1 'because I do not wish to catch cold ;"
5 "because I wish to conceal bad teeth;"
1 "because I wish to conceal the length
of my nose;" G "because I am a soldier;"
21 "because I was a soldier;" 65 "be
cause my wife likes it;" 28 "because my
love likes it;" 15 answered that they
wore no beards.
Among the needs of Mexico, ex-Governor
Rice is quoted as sayins, are
"convenient and modern hotels upon the
system now so popular in the United
States. There is also needed machinery
for preparing the fibers of Mexico for the
manufacture of carpets, rope, matting,
and also paper. Thousands upon thou
sands of tons of fiber annually go to
waste in that country which could be
used here and in Europe for the manu
facture of paper. It is so abundant and
cheap that ere many years shall pass this
great industry will be one of the most
important, and furnish a large part of
the material for the entire world.
Many plucky engineers have crawled
down on the cowcatcher of their locomo
tfve as the machine was rushing along
at the rate of twenty miles an hour and
snatched a child or a baby from certain
destruction beneath the ponderous
wheels of the iron horse, but none has
yet or probably will ever have again the
experience of Christoval Mendoza, an en
gineer on the Mexican railroad. The
other day, as the train to Mexico was
ncaring Jalapa, he discovered an old
beggar, 101 years old, on the track. Tne
old fellow being deaf and imbecile paid
no attention to the shrieks of the
whistle, so Christoval climbed down on
the cowcatcher and snatched the old
fellow, almost mummied with fright, up
into a safe berth beside him, just as the
cruel monster was about to grind him
into a thousand fragments.
In an address delivered by Sir Rich
ard Temple on "Economic Science and
Statistics," before the British Association
at Montreal, it was stated that the pop
ulation of the British Empire consists of
39,000,000 Anglo-Saxons, 188,000,000
Hindoos, and 88,000,000 Mohamedans,
etc. a total of 315,000,000. The area
of the Empire and its dependencies i3
10,000,000 square miles. The annual rev
enue is: United Kingdom, 89,000,000;
India 74,000,000; colonies and depen
dencies. -10,000,000; total, 264,000,
000. The number of trained soldiers is
850,000, ot whom about 700,000 are of
the dominant race. In addition, there
are 560,000 policemen in the Empire.
The school attendance is : United King
dom, 2,250,000; Canada, 860,000; Aus
tralia, 611,000; India, 2,200,000; a
total, in the Empire, of 8,921,000 pupils.
Children usually demand sugar in large
quantities, and in some form it should
be given them. According to the Cul
tivator there are few more agreeable or
healthful forms In which to secure it
than in fruit, and especially in good,
sweet apples. An abundance of sweet
apples, ripe and luscious, should be had
in every household where there are chil
dren. Prepared in various ways they are
important in the dietary of the whole
family. They supply sugar in a pure
form. Baked with cream they are delici
ous. Few breakfast dishes are superior
to slices of sweet apples fried in butter.
Cut the slices across the apple, leaving
the skin on, and cutting out the core.
This dish will take the place of meats
for two or three days in the week. Few
fruits have in them as many elements for
the sustaining of life and health as the
apple. In some countries an almost ex
clusive diet for weeks is made of apples
prepared in various ways.
As it is generally known, the Domin
ion of Canada comprises the seven pro
vinces of Quebec, Ontario, British Col

The mistaken idea prevails in the United
States that the executive authority is
vested in the governor general. This is
not so, that functionary simply exercis
ing the authority of the queen, who is
he. self the direct ruler. The salary of
the governor general is $50,000 per year.
He has thirteen advisers, comprising a
cabinet, and known as the queen's privy
council of Canada. These men receive
salaries of $7,000 per year, and $1,000
extra lor each parliamentary session, ex
cepting the premier, who receives $8,000
and the additional $1,000 per session.
The total of these salaries is $155,000,
which, compared with the $100,000 paid
the President and his cabinet, flavors of
extravagance. The departments are of
justice, of finance, of agriculture, of
state, of war, of customs, of inland rev
enue, of the interior, of marine and fish
eries, and of the postoffice.
A natural curiosity that bids fair to
outrival the famous Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky has just been discovered on
the farm of John Davis, who resides six
mi.es east of Jacksboro, Campbell county,
Tenn. Only one chamber of 'the cave
has been explored thus far, and that only
partly, in which prehistoric mummies,
with sandals on their feet, in excellent
state of preservation, have been found,
some petrified, others preserved by the
salt of the cave. The walls of the cham
ber are decorated with paintings of ex
tinct or imaginary animals A large
stream abounds with blind fish. Mr.
Davis has captured a species of jackal
or red fox, and the cave seems to be full
of both animal and vegetable life.
Crickets as large as English sparrows hop
or leisurely walk off when alarmed, and
rats as large as jack rabbits run about in
semi-domesticated recognition. Foot
prints of exquisite mold are well defined
in the hardened mud, and miniature for
ests along the banks of the river are
clothed in snow-white foliage and sen
sitive flowers.
A rather ingenious expedient for eluding
the payment of octioi duty was hit upon
lately by certain enterprising individuals
in France. Cholera having made its
appearance at Cette, in the lierault, and
in the outljing villages, it occurred to
these persons to turn the circumstance to
their own advantage. They arrajed
themselves, aecordiug io the local pa
pers, in black, obtained a hearse and a
certain number of coffins, and went
backward and forward from the town
to the communes outside it. It chanced,
however, that the attention of the author
ities was attracted by the unusual num
ber of apparent interments that took
place during the night, and, upon in
quiries being made, it was found that
were these funerals all bona fide there
must have been more persons buried
from the environs of Cette than had
diea. This being an obvious impossi
bility the hearse was stopped by the
octroi officials, and the coffin in it was
opened, with the result that instead of a
corpse a quantity of alcohol was found,
as well as soap and other wares liable to
pay duty, all ol which were seized.
In the neighborhood of Amsterdam,
Holland, writes a correspondent of the
Garden, there are over 150 market gar
dens, in the greater portion of which
such kinds of vegetables as it is usual to
forward under glass are crown, while
some are devoted exclusively to Haricot
beans, cabbages and other things com
monly cultivated as field crops. The
Dutch market gardeners are a laborious,
pains-taking class, but, seldom journey
ing far from home, are wedded to old
ways, some of their appliances being of
a very primitive description. Thus, for
instance, the sashes of their frames are
glazed with small squares bedded in
lead, just like the old-fashioned case
ment windows, a fact which seems most
strange, seeing that that style of glazing
garden frames has for many years been
quite obsolete in Luiopean gardens gen
erally. The frames themselves are of a
rough description, being formed of thick
beards, being generally some eighty feet
long and divided into compartments at
need. Where ground is so valuable,
space is naturally economized as much
as posssible, there being but about one
and a half feet between each row of
frames. Each market garden is sur
rounded by hedges and divided into two
or several portions by screens or trans
verse hedges. In a level country like
Holland, where there arc but few natural
breaks to the fury of the winds, some
such kind of artificial protection is al
most indispensable, and especially where
a large number of glass frames arc em
ployed. One or more of these compart
ments are occupied by the dwelling
house, sheds, cellars for vegetables, and
frames; the remainder are devoted to
the various kinds of crops which may be
made a specialty of.
The demand for animals for exhibition
in Europe and in civilized America has
armed enterprizing hunters with net and
trap, and sent them far into the wilds of
unexplored Africa. The Soudan, a part
of that continent to which attention and
even anxiety are now directed, has long
been a hunting-ground for the providers
of the great dealers like Mr. Jamrach,
whose repository at East-end, London,
has been so frequently described. The
difficulty of catching some of tne animal3
is very great. A hippopotamus, for in
stance, may be netted ; but he is a very
big "fish" to land safe and
well, to send over hundreds of
miles of Soudan tracks, to ship sound
and in good condition and to land at a
European port after a sea voyage. The
cost of such an undertaking is very great
and not unf requently is incurred in vain.
Delicate animals torn from the steaming
swamps and reedy thickets in which they
delight are very apt, after all the pains
and risk of capturing them, to die upon
their enslavers' hands. Perhaps the king
of beasts is as handy as any of his sub
jects. At least he suffers less in captivity
than the majority of them, if we may ac
cept as proof " the frequent leonine
families which bring rejoicing to the
Zoological Gardens of London and
Dublin. So keen is the pursuit of
genuine wild beasts in the Soudan and
the regions adjoining that within a very
few years travelers have noted a re
markably falling-off in big game.
Between the sportsmen who go fully
equipped for slaughter from this and
othe. countries, the natives, now better
armed than formerly, and the snarers
who seek live specimens for Mr. Jam
rach and his brethren, the monarch of
desert and forest are having a hard time
of it just now, and have little to thank
steam for in bringing the white man
into the heart of their fastnesses.
A Fish-Eating Plant.
There is a little plant, common enough
in our ponds and known as the bladder
wort, wh'ch has suddenly sprung into
importance for breeders of carp. The
bladder-wort (genus Utricularia) is a root
less plant, and of still water, and usually
found floating half in and half out of the
water, the branching and stem-like leaves
forming the submerged float from which
rises the flower stem. To the leaves are
attached curiously insect-like bladders
filled with water, and varying in size in
the different species, reaching at times
a diameter of one-fifth of an inch.
It was formerly, and with much prob
ability, supposed that these bladders
served the purpose of floats; for until a
few years ago it was taken for granted
that air and not water filled them. It is
new known, however, that the bladders
serve a more useful purpose than merely
to keep the head of the plant above
water; they are the digestive organs of
the Utricularia, and at the same time are
so constituted as to form a very ingenious
but extremely simple trap for catching
food. It is into these bladders that
thousands of carp eggs find their un
witting way, together with many insects,
Crustacea, and other tiny objects, both
animate and inanimate.
It is only recently that the Utricularia
has been accused of destroying carp
eggs, but for nearly thirty years it has
been known as a receiver of small insects
and crustaceans, and it has been known
as an insect feeder for at least twenty
years.
The bladder is pear-shaped, with an
opening at " the small -end. Around the
mouth are antennavlike projections or
bristles, which, according to Darwin, are
for the purpose Of warding off and keep
ing out insects of too great size. The
mouth is closed by a valve which yields
readily to light pressure, but offers an
immovable barrier to the once captured
creature. The utmost strength compati
ble with such a structure has apparently
been attained. The valve is a thin and
transparent plate, and, by means of the
water behind it, is made to stand out a
bright spot, which Darwin thinks may
attract prey. Something certainly at
tracts the tiny denizens of the water, for
they swim up Jo the mouth and crawl
into the bladder by the readily yielding
door. As there is no seductive secretion
here, as in the case of many insect-destroying
plants, the great naturalist's sur
mise is probably correct.
Some of the insectivorous plants, on
catching their prey, at once pour out a
digestive fluid analogous to the gastric
juice of the human stomach, but with
the Utricularia it is not so. The insects
or other food when caught in the blad
der are merely captives, and swim about
in their confined quarters with eager ac
tivity in their endeavor to find an outlet,
until asphyxia for lack of oxygen comes
on. Even now the plant makes no effort
to digest the animal food, but waits pa
tiently until decay takes place, and the
animal matter is by putrefaction resolved
into fluids which the numerous papillae
lining the bladder can absorb.
Examination and repeated experiment
proved conclusively that the greedy lit
tle bladders were making sad havoc with
the fish, and in consequence carp breed
ers are bidden to open war vigorously
on Utricularia and all its species. It may
seem at a hasty glance that the small
bladders can hardly be" responsible for
any very extensive destruction of eggs
or small fish, but the doubters of the
ability of insignificant agents, acting to
gether, to produce stupendous effects
may be referred to the microscopic rhizo
pods or the earth worms, each in their
own way performing wonderful feats in
the way of earth building and earth pre
serving. Scientific American. .
Tired Eyes.
People speak about their eyes being
fatigued, meaning that the retina,
or seeing portion of the brain, is fatigued,
but such is not the case, as the retina
harldly ever gets tired. The fatigue is
in the inner and outer muscles attached
to the eyeball and the muscle of accom
modation, which surrounds the lens ol
the eye. When a near object is to be
looked at, this muscle relaxes and allows
the lens to thicken, increasing its refrac
tive power. The inner and outer mus
cles to which I referred are used in cov
ering the eye on the object to be looked
at, the inner one being especially used
when a near object is to be looked at. It
is in the three muscles mentioned that
the fatigue is lelt, and relief is secured i
temporarily by closing the eyes or gazing j
at far distant objects. The usual indica-1
tion of strain is a redness of the rim ol
the eyelid, betokening a congested state
of the inner surface, accompanied with
some pain. Rest is not the proper remed j
for a fatigued eye, but the use of glasses
of sufficent power to render unnecessary
so much effort to accommodate the cy(
to vision. Scientific American.

BIG AND LITTLE FEASTS.
Lark PutMIntr in Lonilou-Uead).
Cooked Viauda for f lie Poor.
Being bidden to one of London's civic
dinners, writes the correspondent of an
American paper, I partook of lark pud
ding. I do think it is a shame to put the
lark which "at Heaven's gate sings,"
into a pudding, but being put into a pud
ding the lark is exceedingly nice. I am
told that 'ark pudding is quite an exten
sive and doubly as rare as bird's nest
soup, and certainly tho unanimity with
which the guests, on the occasion I refer
to, called for it, bears out the suggestion.
Perhaps Dclmonico himself could not
have suggested a rarer menu than that
which tho Shipwright's laid before us.
Certainly it was a gorgeous affair, from
the soup to the iced pudding, and after
ward to the cigars (great fat fellows of
that deliciously loose and crumbly make
about the end that domestic workmen
cannot imitate). That is one way in
which Londoners the great corporations
and city guilds dine.
At the height of the banquet it must
have been 9 o'clock. From the majestic
Mansion House, which sees literally
hundreds of such dinners during every
every lord mayor's term, to the New
Cut, is but a short distance. Here, as in
all parts of London, there are served up
at 8 o'clock precisely, in the ham and
beef shops, huge dishos of boiled beef,
baked pork rnd pease pudding. It is
not too "much to say that 100,000
families in London take their evening
(and heartiest) meal from these shops,
carrying home the steaming viands in
hot basins, at a cost of from qne penny,
to say, ninepence each family ! (Two to
eighteen cents.) The meat, of course,
cannot be obtained for this smaller sum,
but a huge platter of pease pudding
may, and there is no dish more whole
some and sustaining. To the very poor
not to the poorest, poor creatures, for
they are unable to obtain even this cheap
food frequently the hot joints and hot
pudding served from 8 o'clock until mid
night, and the savory saveloys that are
taken steaming from the boiler, are a
great boon.
I have often gazed with admiration
Upon the deft manner in which these
meat shopkeepers ply their long knives.
They seem to be able to cut off a pound
of meat without, diminishing the joint.
And to do it again and again. I am
positive that I have seen them shave off
a slice of ham that was no thicker than
the paper on which these lines will be
printed.
Such as cannot muster enough money
to indulge in a steak-and-knidney pud
ding, which costs anywhere from four to
ten pence, according to how much steak
aud kidney there is in it, and of what
variety they are, can at all events find a
healthy. and cheap repast in the fried
fish shop. There is a great plenty in Eng
land, and at all seasons of the year, of a
fish called plaice. It is something like a
flounder and something like a sole, but
it is neither, and has a distinct flavor.
The fried fish shopkeeper cuts this plaice
in two, peppers, salts, and flours him.
and pops him into a gigantic vat. of boil
ing grease. In ten minutes he is done.
Scores of thousands, especially ia the
winter time, are nightly customers of the
fried fish shop. I have tried plaice so
cooked and have liked him very much.
The great, consideration about him, how
ever, is his cheapness. A satisfying por
tion of fried plaice, for one, can be ob
tained for a single penny, while if the
purchaser desires to expend more, he can
get at the same place a three-cornered
paper full of chipped potatoes for an
other penny four cents of our money in
all. Suppose that a man were landed in
New York with but twenty-five cents in
the world and hungry. How long could
he support life ou it? Certainly not more
than two days that is before he began
to starve. Twenty-five cents are a shil
ling and a half-penny of English money.
For a penny here a man may have a dish
of whelks (a toothsome shell-fish with
pepper and. vinegar), or two very large
and repulsive-looking oysters, or in the
winter time a cup of hot eel soup, or
meat or fruit pie, or a plate of mussels.
The Trnsmutation of Metals.
The Arabians no doubt derived their
ideas of the transmutation of metals into
gold and the belief in immunity from
death by the use of the philosopher's
stone from China. Among all the metals
with which the alchemist worked, mer
cury was pre-eminent, and this is stated
to be really the philosopher's stone, of
which Geber, Kalid and others spoke in
the times of the early caliphs? Iu China
it was employed excessively as a medi
cine. On nights when dew was falling,
sufficient was collected to mix with the
powder of cinnabar, and this was taken
until it led to a serious disturbance of
the bodily functions. In the ninth cen
tury an emperor, and in the tenth a
prime minister diei from the effects of
an overdose of mercury. Chinese medi
cal books say it takes 200 years to pro
duce cinnabar; in 300 years it becomes
lead ; in 500 years more it becomes silver,
and then by obtaining a transforming
substance called "vapor of harmony," it
becomes gold. This doctrine of the
transformation of mercury into other
metals is 2,000 years old in China.
The Antiquity of Advertising.
In all ages people seem to have needed
a reminder of their wants and the adver
tisement enabled the busy or the lazy to
supply them without extra trouble. We
find no mention of the peripatetic adver
tisements which now greet our eye3 on
street corners, in various outre and ridicu
lous garbs, but. perhaps thej may have
had their origin from -antiquity and tho
peripatetic philosophers, who studied
and discussed their learned theories
while perpetually perambulating tho
walks of tho gymnasium. Philadelphia
