FOREIGN GOSSIP. Cbtna has begun tbo uso of postal cards. A Berlin house is making cravats and scarfs of paper. The Castle of Simonctta, near Milan, reports an echo sixty times. The husband of tho Queen of Mad agascar Is some fifty years older than herself. King Theebaw has given up drink ing and now proposes t imprison and flog every drunkard in his realm. Bavaria has enacted a law forbid ding the marriage of couples who do not posseites sutlicient means to main tain themselves. Sir Walter Haleigh once asked Queen Elizabeth to smoke his pipe. She tried it once, and only onee. It is a signilicant fact that inside of a year she ordered his head to be cut off. A niagtiesian l'mestone found at the entrance of tho Tvne, in England, is reported to be so ilexible that thin layers three feet or more in length may bo bent in a circle while damp, retain ing that form on becoming dry. The cleaver with wh'cli the Earl of Essex's head was cut oil' in jvason of Queen Elizabeth's failure to reee e the ring in s-ason is still preserved in the Tower of London. It is a savage-'ook-ing in tniment, ami somewhat riitv with age. Count Spaiitiui. a friend of crema tion in Florence, had the a-h-s of his grandfather preserved in a beautiful urn. A tliritty servant help"d herself out of it to sprinkle the Hoor before hwceping up some tilth, and now the Count has less than half li s ancestor's ashes. In Nankin and Kai-f n children from six to twelve years nf a e are sold bv tens of thousands.

The EnglMi Po.t olliee D.-pnrt-nient is a big thing. In addition to carrying and delivering the mails prop er it does a general epres-age bus iness, operates all telegraph lines, takes care of the savin:' of the people. ii sures lives, and grants annuities. It d ies all these tilings and makes a handsome prolit out of them. The second thimble centenary has ju-t been cele! rated in Am-terdam.

The English were the lirst to adopt the new inven tion. Last year some one in England gent to Mr. Lahoucliere tl-ostim of ii.OiM) new sixpences for distribution among the children in the London hosp.tals and workhouses. The same person has this year sent to Mr. Lahoucliere H,000 Mxpeuces with a request that they be 'iven to children in the London work Houses, workhouse Inlirmaries and workhouse schools. In Persia, long ago, they had a cheerful and effectual manner of pun ishing criminals. For stealing, death was the penalty. Two young trees .were by main strength brought togeth er at their summits and then fastened together with cords. The culprit wis then brought out and his legs t ed w th ropes, w:i eh were again carried up and lixe.l to the tops of t.ie trees. The cords that forced the trees together were then cut. ami by the da-tic ty and power of the spring t ie body of the tV.ef was torn asmder, and thus left to hang div tied on each epiuute tree. - LIFE IN THE NAVY YARD. 1luiitH Scones luiim Oreat.'r flirt til' the liny oniceri' Keluviit 'oil. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, 1 ke most mil t.uy and naval pests and reserva tions, is a 1 ttle world of ilseif. When . . . i i ... t one pn-scs through tlie squami pan m the city that 1 es a'.out its walls and enters 'the great g;;i -. where the sol emn mar lies with gleaming bayonets keep guard n'ght and day. he is in an other atmosphere. The hum of traffic from the tw n c:t'e sounds far away. Before him is a broad street Wretch ng down to the river, where men-of-war are lying. There are trees and green gra s. ships being repa'red and ships being demolished, mar lies walking postlind .-a lors iiiov.ng about w.th the peculiar rolling gait which distin gu shes the seafaring man. A drive way leads up a little hill to the left, to the" commandant's hou.se. Before the house stands a:i orderly ilk white gloves and above his head a Hag limits from the top of a lofty pole. About half wav down the main street, in a bu ld ing" of yellow br ck, is the offices of the commandant, where all the headquar ters business of the "Naval Station of Hew York" is transacted. Here alois the office of the capta n of the yard and one or two other functionaries. Other buildings, mostly of yellow brick, scat tered about the yard are machine-shops, sail-lofts, store-houses, etc. There are two immense wooden structures, under one of which is the unlinishi d frigate New York, and under the other the old Colossus, now being demolished. In this, the chief naval station of the Un. ted States, there is always plenty of work to lie done, for ships-of-war are always being littcd out for sea. or come in to'o out of commission or to be re paired. For each particular work there is a department. There are the departments of steam engineering, pro visions and clothing, navigation, ord nance, etc. At an early hour in the morning the sound of the hammer and the saw beg ns to be heard, the ma chinery starts up, the workmen and . i.,rL-u arrive, the. officers in chanre of he different departments enter their i llices, ami until four o clock in the ai-i..i-mw,ii the business of the vard is it full blast. Imagine the business of a great ship-vard combined with tin supply of provisions, the manufactur ing and supply of clothing for severa ti.iwin,l T,i, n" nnil officers, the makinc ,.f sail.! mm'., soars, engines, flairs Is. the simnlvinL' of ordnauci and the thousand and' one things that are used aboard a man-of-war from s p-llow-cae to a carpet or kn.te an fork. Add to this the work of the onv .na-ter'i department, where tho 'ac counts of all the receipts and disburse ments consequent on such a varied bus iness and the separate accounts of of libers ami men and civil employes are kept, and we will get some idea' of the work at the Navy Yard. 1'hen there is the care of millions of dollars' worth of Government property and the sale of condemned property to bo taken into consideration. Over at the Cob Dock the old line-of-battle ship Vermont is moored. She Is the receiv ing ship where men aro enlisted and kept until they are transferred to some sea-going ship. The officers stationed on the Vermont are generally those who havo just come back from some long cruise and are sent here to get a little ret and recuperate. From early in the morning until noon the officers are kept busy with the routine work of the snip, with drilling the men. shipping recruits, etc. From one o'clock unt.l the dmner hour, at i:'M o'clock, the ward-room is de serted and the curtains are drawn be fore the doors of the officers' state rooms. Some studying for examination for iironiotioti; the cound of a guitar proclaims that one is cultivating his musical abilities; another may be at tend'ng to his cor:espondenec or in dulging in general literature. A por t'o i of this lime, too, is consumed bv the officers in reading up on matters pertaining to their profession, for American naval officers are justly proud of their reputation as the best-informed set of naval ollicers in the world in mat ters pertaining to their profession, and strive honestly to deserve it. It is possible that some of the ollicers may have their afternoon broken in upon bv an order to take a draft of men to N'orfolk, Newport or Boston, or by an order to attend a general court-martial. At 5:.'10 the ollicers all meet at the dinner table in the ward-room. Other ollicers from some ship lying at the yard or a civilian friend or two may be present at this time and when the smoke of post-prandial cigarettes in n gles with the aroma of black coffee what stories art-told of "strange adven tures hupped by hind and sea:' Then the thunders of Mobile Bay awake anew, the Corean tiger-Hag goes down in defeat once more, and all the storms that blow off llatteras and the Horn are loosed ag iin. There are stories of Arctic explorations too. and the re hearsing of many an old legend handed down from the time of Hull, Paul Jones or Decatur, and heard nowhere except on a man-of-war. The stranger at that board, seeing the spirit which animates h:s hosts, will go away satisfied that America may suiclv commit her pride of I lie past and hopes of the Yutiire to the ollicers of whom they are ex amples. The evenings the ollicers have to themselves until ten o'clock, when the lights are put out and sleep and silence reign over the great ship. A'. Y. Tribune. THE USES OF GLUCOSE. Muile From Alniont Anything ami III AlmoHt everything. At the request of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue of tho United States a conmi'ttee of the National Academy of Sciences was appointed, consisting of professors of University of Philadelphia, Yale College, Colum bia College, Harvard College, and John Ilonkins Lnivers tv. lue purpose , , s . being to c cntilically investigate the villous products known as glucose, grape sugar, maltose, etc. The com ni ttee found that glucose is jnatlc from many things besides starch and potatoes, such as "from leaves, straw, rags, chips, twigs residues from brew eries, distiller.es," etc. The following, wh'ch we take from their report, Iid'. to what use gli:cose is put: Both glucose mid grape sugar liud extensive apj-1 cation for a great vari ety of purposes ns substitutes for cane sugar or for barley. The mo t geir ral purposes lor wn:cii giueo.se or Marco siiL'ar is used are: 1. For the manufacture of table svrup. This consists of a nearly or o'uite colorless elm o-e, with a sullic cut addition of cane sugar from the sugar rehnei v to g ve it the llavor and ap pearance of a hiirhlv reiuu d molasses The oiiantilv ot cane s nip added varies from two percent, up to thirty three l er cent. . As a substitute for barley malt in the brewing ot ale or hecr. lms is reallv a siibst tution of Ind an corn for harlev, but it constitutes a very imper fect 'subsume, as the corn, by the treatment employed in extra -ting its starch for conversion into glucose, is eoiiiuletelv deprived of all the n tro irenous bo'dies and mineral salts which V . . 1 IT .

It oriiTUiallV coniaineti. ncncu, me L'lucose alone, which is simply trans formed starch, is substituted for the entire barley grain, with its great van ety of valuable constituents. this is not true, however, of the maltose pro duced from the entire corn by the ac tion of the malt. J his material cmv tains all the soluble constituents of the corn, together with the addit onal sub. stances which are rendered soluble by the action of the diastase of the malt. ;(. As a substitute for cane sugar in confectionery. 4. For the adulteration of cane sugar, to which it is added to the extent of twenty or more per cent. 5. As a substitute for cane sugar in canning fruits and in the manufacture of frirt jellies. o. For the manufacture of artificial honey. This is neatly put up in glass jars containing a small piece ot honey eomn. 7. In the manufacture ot vinegar. 8. In the manufacturing ot liquor coloring, used in mixing liquors and making art.ncial liquors. y. Other more limited applications: In the nianufactuie of wine; ly the baker in making cakes; in conkinir: in the preparation of sauces; as an addi :imi to some canned meats, espce.ally corned beef; in the preparation of eliewini' tobacco; in the manufacture of printers' rollers, and in tie- uianu facture of some kinds of inks. The demand for giuco-e and grape Miear for these purpose is extern variable, and depends on the relative prices of corn and the articles for which this kind of siijjar is subst tilted, cnecullv snsrar-hoiisc svrup and bailey. - -V.., ti'jiiti' rr i'jqi '. .
