Last week we went up to the Coliseum at Minneapolis to hear Theodore Thomas1 or chestra, the Wagner trio and Christine Nils on. The Coliseum is a large rink just out of Minneapolis on the road between that city and St. Paul. It can seat 4JD00 people comfortably, but the management like to wedge 4,500 people in there on a warm day and then watch the perspiration trickle out through the clapboard on tho outride. On the closing after noon, during the matinee performance, the building was struck by lightning and a hole knocked out of the Corinthian duplex that surmounts the oblique portcullis on the off side. The' reader will see at once the location of the bolt. The lightning struck the flag staff, ran down the leg of a man who was repairing the electric light, took a chew of his tobacco, turned his boot wrong side out and induced him to change his sock, toyed with a chilblain, wrenched out a soft corn and roguishly put it in his ear, then ran down the electric light wire, a part of it fill ing an engagement in the Coliseum and the balance following the wire to the depot, where it made double-pointed toothpicks of a pole fifty feet high. All this was done very Lriefly. Those who have seen lightning toy with a cottonwood tree know that the fluid makes a specialty of it at once and in a brief manner. The lightning in this case broke the glass in the skylight, and deposited the broken f rag ments on a half-dozen parquette chairs that were empty because the speculators who owned them couldn't get but $50 apiece, and were waiting for a man to mortgage his resi dence and sell a team. He couldn't make the transfer in time for a matinee, so the seats were vacant when th lightning struck. The immediate and previous fluid then shot athwart the auditorium in the direction of the platform, where it nearly frightened to death a large chorus of children. Women fainted, ticket speculators fell $2 on desirable seats, and strong men coughed up a clove. The scene beggared description. I intended to have said that before, but forgot it. Theodore Thomas drew a full breath, and Christine Nilsson drew her salary. Two thousand strong men thought of their wasted lives, and 2,000 women felt for their back hair to see if it was still there. I say, there fore, without successful contradiction, that the scene beggared description. A World la Pawn. Federal Australian. . The idea of the whole globe being hypo the- 1 . 1 . .11.' A J 1 ... a catea Dy countless minions oi aeoiors to calculable number of creditors is a very startling one, when it is abruptly and nakedly presented. And it is difficult to imagine so vast an estate in liquidation, or to conjecture to what bankruptcy court the creditors would prove their debts, or who would be the official assignees to collect and distribute the assets. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the whole world is in pawn, and that its balance sheet shows U3 an aggregate of liabilities which is absolutely appalling. They have been summed up in The Fortnightly Review by ilr. A. J. Wilson, an experienced writer on financial subjects, aud the total is the stupendous sum of 5,394,000,000 an amount which, if represented in sovereigns, it would take a man 172 years to count, at the rate of a sovereign a minute, without a moment's cessation from beginning to end. To defray the interest on this enormous debt requires 200,000,000 per annum, which Mr. Wilson represents to be fully equal to the entire earnings of 8,000,000 of people; and -did each individual in these 8,000,000 sup port a family of three persons only beside him self, the interest upon these debts would im ply the absorption of the entire support of a population equal to that of. the united Kingdom." Of course, a calculation of this kind takes no account of the debts owing by municipali ties, counties, cities, railway, canal, gas, water, insurance and other public companies. But these would assume still vaster propor tions, for the capital sunk in railways alone is 4,000,000,000, and this is of course a debt owing to bond and shareholders; while the local debts state and city in the Lmted States amount to 175,030,000. The mother country is the greatest pawnbroker in the world, and draws 230,000,000 per annum from the nations and colonies indebted to her. Mr. Wilson is of opinion that the time has arrived when a stop should be put to this system of mortgaging the future to meet the expenditure of the present, and when Eng land, more particularly, should begin to ex tinguish her existing liabilities. But his ad vice is not likely to attract much attention. Nations are just as improvident as individu als, and not one of them has ever been de terred from rushing into a war of ambition or aggrandizement by considerations of the burdens it was entailing on posterity; and the United States is the only one which has taken prompt measures to extricate itself from a national debt. Value or American Locomotives. "Gath" in New York Tribune. A friend said to me at Long Branch that there were 33,000 locomotives in the Union, end that they were worth not less than $10, 000 apiece, and more nearly $15,000, and that we had facilities here for turning out twenty new locomotives a day, and that the locomo tive factories in general were running strong even now. If the above figures be correct the locomotives in the United States ha cost not far from $400,000,000, a sum of money which would have frightened the soul of James K. Polk when fighting the Mexican war for during that war his gizzard was greatly agitated for fear he would bankrupt the na tion, and with unseemly haste he ordered a treaty to be bought, begged or stolen, so the war Could be stopped.

HE WAS NOT A KICKER, Bus He Had an Objection to Make Concerning: the'soop, Merchant Traveler. Ben Ridgely, a Louisville, Ky., newspaper man, who, for the first twenty years of his life, had been accustomed to feed in sr on champagne and diamond back terrapin, has for the past twenty years been having a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match with the usual boarding-house spread, and is still alive but weak. One day, early in the spring, he went to his landlady with a complaint. ''Madam," he said, with a detni-se mi-quaver in his voice, and a piece of wetness in each eye about as big as a buckshot, "haven't been a pretty good boarder for the two years I have been with your "Why, Mr. Ridgely, of course you have, Only yesterday a lady asked me how long you had been a member of the Young Men's Christian association." replied the lady in surprise. "Yes, and when you gave us eggs with feathers on, did I ever kickf "Wha-what's that?" stammered the woman, thrown off her balance by the sud denness of the blow. "And did I ever insist on your clipping their wings f "Sir, I don't" "And didn't I keep right on, even though you let the butter wear its hair banged, when you knew I hated bangs f "Mr. Ridgely, this is going too " "And did I complain, when I found a but ton in my pie, because there wasn't any but tonhole in the flap "Sir, I won't stand this any " "And did I report you to the Society of Prevention of Crueltv when I picked that poor, helpless cockroach out of the biscuit f "Shut up, you " "Yes, and when I found a minnow in the milk, did I ask you whether you milked your cow with a fishing pole or a seme ' Wha wha wha " "Don't mention it, madam.

Death to Prairie Doge and Ante. (Leadville Cor. Dallas Herald. Some three years ago, while making a trip across the continental divide, I stopped for dinner at a road-side tavern, situated in a creek valley; close at hand was a prairie dog town, numbering over 500 inhabitants. Not long since, I had occasion to stop at the same house, and saw that the small level prairie, once occupied by prairie dogs, had been inclose plowed, and was then cov ered with a luxuriant crop of grass. Seeing no signs of the little beasts, upon asking what had become of them, I was told they had been-exterminated in the following way: Balls of cotton or rags were saturated with bi-sulphide of carbon an impure preparation will do and is cheap pushed far down into the holes, and the holes firmly packed with earth. Bi-sulphide of carbon being an ex tremely volatile fluid, quickly evaporates and forms a heavy gas, which occupies every chamber and gallery of the animal s dwelling. This gas is as promptly fatal to animal life as the fumes of burning sulphur or carbolic acid gas. My informant also destroyed in a similar way several colonies of large ants, of the same species as those found in Texas. He built a fire close to the ant-bed, shoveled the earth forming the ant-hill into the fire, so as to burn up the ants contained in it with their young, then scraped the surface of the ground clean, and waited a while to give the ants a chance to clear the tunnels from any earth that may have dropped into them. A ball of cotton saturated with bi-sulphide of carbon w as placed in the center of the bed, covered over with a tin vessel large enough to embrace the greater number, if not all the outlets, and earth was packed about the tin, so as to exclude air. Next day the tin was removed. He showed me the sites of several beds in his yard where the ants had been killed in this manner. Since then, while in Colorado Springs, I was told this plan has been successfully used in California for a number of years; it was used for the exter mination of gophers, yellow-jackets, and all ether burrowing animals and insects. Chased by a Spider. Gentleman's Magazine. The king of the spiders on the pampas is not a Jiygale, but a Lycosa of extraor dinary feize, light pray m color, with a black ring around its middle. It is active and swift, and irritable to such a degree that one can scarcely help thinking that in this species nature has overshot her mark. When a person passes near one, say within three or lour yards of its lurking-place, it starts up and gives chase, and will often follow for a distance of thirty or forty yards. I came once very nearly being bit ten by one of these savage creatures. Rid ing at an easy trot over the dry grass, I suddenly observed a spider pursuing me, leaping swiftly along and keeping up with my beast I aimed a blow with my whip, and the point of the lash struck the ground close to it, when it instantly leaped upon and ran up the lash, and was actually within three or four inches of my hand when I flung the whip from me. The gauchos have a very quaint ballad which tells that the city of Cordova was once in vaded by an army of monstrous spiders, and that the townspeople went out, with beating drums and flags flying, to repel the invasion, and after firing several vol leys they were forced to turn and fly for their lives. I have no daubt that a sudden increase of the man-chasing spiders, in a year exceptionally favorable to them, sug gested this fable to some rhyming satirist of the town. That Husband or ITIlne. New York Sun. A woman hastily entered a Harlem lager beer saloon and demanded of the proprietor: "Has my husband been in here?" "I don't know him. Is he a tall man?" "Yes " "Red-headed?" "Yes, and red complected." "Full beard?" "Yes." "Wear a slouch hat?" "Yes." "He was here not five minutes ago. He came in, drank a lemonade, and then walked down the street." "Drank what?" "Lemonade." "Wrong mi!" she said, shooting herself out of the door. THE TB0TJBLE 8AFELT 0VEE. Stomach trouble is serious huafnaaa while It lasts; but what a blessed relief to have It depart! Mrs. F.

Breaking Bridges by Vibration. )n answer to the question, "Is it true that the marching of a body of soldiers, in regular military step, has been known to cause the falling of a bridge?" The Manufacturer and Builder has the fol lowing: The statement is substantiated by the strongest kind of evidence. We believe that it is a rule observed by marching armies, when they cross a bridge, to stop the music, break step and open column, lest the measured cadence of a condensed body of men should cause the bridge to vibrate so greatly as to endanger its stability or to cause it to fall. Numerous instances of accidents caused by the neglect of this rule are re corded. For example, the Broughton bridge, near Manchester, gave way be neath the measured tread of only sixty men who were marching over it. A chain bridge, crossing the River Dor dogne near Bordeaux, about the year 1850, gave way from a similar cause. The terrible disaster which befell a battalion of French troops a few years since while in the act of crossing the sus pension bridge at Angiers, in France, is one of the most convincing evidences of the extreme danger from the cause here named. The facts, as recorded, are as follows: "Reiterated warnings were given to the troops to break into sections, as is usually done. But the rain was falling heavily, and in the hurry of the moment, the orders were disregarded. The bridge, which was only 12 years old, and which had been repaired the year before at a cost of $7,000, fell, and 280 dead bodies were found, besides many who were wounded." A bridge, or similar structure, may be crowded with people going and coming, with cavalry or with cattle, with in finitely less danger than with the far less weight of a body of men going over it in regular marching order. In the latter case the structure is set into vibration, which every step that is taken adds to, until the swing becomes so violent1 that it may overcome its powers of re sistance and cause it to give way at its weakest point. In the former case a multitude of vibrations are set up in the structure, but being irregular that is, non-synchronous one is neutralized by another and no effect is produced. It has often been noted as a singular fact that large trees have been uprooted by wind storms of no unusual violence, which have withstood much more violent gales. An explanation of this mystery which appears to us to be very plausi ble, may be found in the facts above de tailed. The wind in powerful gales fre quently comes in gusts, which cause the tree to swing, and if these gusts happen to be so timed as to coincide with the natural swing of the tree each successive impulse swings it more powerfully, until at length it is uprooted by a wind which, had it blown steadily, would have done it no damage. Cornell's SInmmr Speaks. Chicago News. President White was slowly unwrap ping the Egyptian mummy recently ac quired by Cornell university. "Oh, could we but know what those sightless eyes have seen, what those time-dried ears have heard:' "Or what that silent tongue, has said," put in a sophomore. "Yes," continued President White, "I should like to know how this grim visi tor from the dingy past worked out his livelihood. Oh, could those palsied lips but speak the words that were perhaps struggling for utterance the moment he gave up his spirit!" "Perhaps we might get them out with aeorkscrew," suggested a freshman. "Nonsense," remarked the president. "But all scientific, experiments are nonsense until they succeed," said a member of the faculty. "True!" "Let us try." The students had no trouble in finding corkscrews. The first jerk brought out the words "your honor." "Ah, this reference to honor shows that he died in a chivalric cause," said the president. "Perhaps he was addressing his king, whose honor he had valiantly defended to the death," said the stroke-oar of the ancient history class. "Perhaps. Let's draw once more." The corkscrew was applied again and again, and a number of words. ex humed. When spread out on the table in the order of their discovery these words were: "Your honor, the defense asks another continuance." matrimonial Intelligence. Texas Sif tings.

There is some mysterious trouble that is attacking nearly every one in the land with more or less violence. It seems to steal into the body like a thief in the night. Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by its symptoms. It is, indeed, a modern mystery. Like those severe and vague maladies that attack horses and prostrate nearly all the animals in the land, this subtle trouble seems to menace mankind. Many of the victims have pains about the chest and fides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A strange, sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite Is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load upon the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation is felt at the pit of the stomach, which food does not satisfy. The eyes grow sunken, the hands and feet feel clammy at one time and burn intensely at others. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is at tended with a erevish-colored expectora tion. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does net seem to afford any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable, ana gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in the head when rising up sud denly. The bowels become costive, and then, again, outflux intensely; the skin is dry Kind hot at times; the blood grows thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sed iment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweet ish taste; this is often attended with pal pitation of the heart, The vision becomes Impaired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of prostration and great weak ness. Most of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one third of our population have this -disorder in some of its varied forms, while medical men have almost wholly mistaken its na ture. Some have treated it for one com- Elaint: some for another, but nearly all ave failed to reach the seat of the disor der. Indeed, many physicians are afflicted with it themselves. The experience of Dr. A. G. Richards, residing at 408 Tremont street, Boston, is thus described by him self: "I had all those peculiar and painful symptoms which I nave found afflicting so many of my patients, and which had so often baffled me. I knew all the commonly established remedies would be unavailing for I had tried them often in the past. 1 therefore determined to strike out in a new path. To my intense satisfaction I found that I was improving. The dull, stupid feeling departed and I began to en joy life once more. My appetite returned. My sleep was refreshing. The color of my face, which had been a sickly yellow, grad ually assumed the pink tinge of health. In the course of three weeks I felt like a new man and know that it was wholly owing to the wonderful efficacy of Warner's Tip pecanoe The Best, which was all the med icine I took." Doctors and scientists often exhaust their hkill and the patient dies. They try everything that has been used by, or is known to the profession, and then fail. Even if they save the life it is often after great and prolonged agony. Where all this can be avoided by precaution and care, how insane a thing it is to endure such suffering! With a pure and palatable preparation within reach, to neglect its use is simply inexcusable. Retrospective. Ju ty.
