The importation of American flour Into tho United' Kingdom so far this year lias largely exceeded last year's receipts. Tho first book containing musical characters was issued in 1-105 from the press of tho celebrated "Wvnkcn do Worde." It is said that not less than two million pounds of dried sago leaves are used annually in tho United States for Turious purposes. Mrs. Flora, tho wifo of a morchant nt Sand Hill, Ky., walked up to Tom Miller a few days ago and tilled his mouth full of dough with her list. Susan Cooley, of Analomink, Pa., nroso in her sleep, climbed upon the cowcatcher of a Philadelphia & Erie engine, and took a ton-milo ride at thirty miles an hour before she awoke. A now substitute for cloth or leather for use in tho bookbinding in dustries is a substance made by pre paring liboiw of linen, cotton, wool, -wood and such materials with a solu tion of albumen and glycerine. This is ttaid to be absolutely,, water-proof. T7io Sau Francisco Alia boasts that the voting citizens of that city come from sixty different political divisions of the world, Egypt being about the only country not represented. The "American" party certainly stands a poor chanco in a city where there are 23,3-18 citizens of foreign nationality mid 25,2:!6 born in the United States. To sharpen razors, says tho Elec trical Review, place in water to which lias been added one-twentieth of its -weight of hydrochloric acid, removing after one-half hour, wipe and rub upon i hone. Tho acid acts like a whetstone nnd corrodes the wholo surface uni formly. Tho process never injures good blades, and often improves bad ones. , At Kirkwood station, N. .1., re cently, Frank Hesse, colored, twonty "throo years old, jumped from the At lantic City express, which just then wis making forty-live miles an hour, ilo lauded squarely on his head in a dry ditoh; rolled over, got up and walked to Camden. "His head was' slightly cut," says an awe-struck re porter, "and ono log was bruised, but othorwiso ho was uninjured," At Montieollo, Flu., n day or two go Dr. G. B. Glover extracted from tho back of n negro man named Kiah Hall a piece of knife-blade two inches long wliich had been placed there four jpars ago by a colored man named James Miller. Kiah had not the re motest idea that ho was carrying cold Btool in his body, and wont to tho doe tor with the idea that a boil was devel oping. He was mad when ho found that he had boon taking care of Jim 31illor's knife-blade for four years. A Georgia mule fell into an old well thirty feet deep. Ilo took his po sition in a sitting posture and was tho unwilling "monarch of all hu sur veyed" until his excited owner sum moned a posse to his aid. A rope was tied around the body of the mule and ho was drawn to tho top of tho well. Tho rope broke and tho mule again -wont to tho other end of the well. A ocond attempt was successful. Ho Jeapod to his feet and commenced feed ing on grass as though nothing had liappcucd. Dooly County can boast of tho tall est man as well as the smallest woman in Georgia. Sam Casou stands in his stocking foot seven feet and two Inches') nnd there is room enough for several mom inches. Casou is so slim that ho Imrdly casts a shadow, but ho can got overground about as fast as a locomo tive. Mrs. A. Hall has a daughter, Annn, that was born in 1872; conse quently she is tlfteen years old, yet is only thirty inches in height. She goes about her household duties liko a little lady, but, being so small, she is not re quired to do much. She is about the smallest woman in tho world. ANECDOTES OF KRUPP. Home of tin K(riiu; lVoiilhirltlt-H of the Valium tiuii-MulUM'. Tho following stories of the late Herr Krupp are curious: "It was a standing order to all those who surrounded or approached him that the word 'Death' was never to be mentioned or referred to in conversation within the precincts of his great establishment. Some years ago a relative of his wife came to stay with htm, and was taken suddenly ill and died. When Krupp hoard of it ho lied immediately to tho neighboring town of Dusseldorf, and would not re turn until after his relative had been July buried. This very naturally led to a scene with his wife, the result "being that they separated. Mrs. Krupp vent to llvo at Dresden, and not oven the entreaties of their son prevailed on llerr Krupp to see her before ho died. Tho same stnbboriinom was shown by Iiiin when his son Fritz, who contested tho parliamentary borough (Ksson) at tho last general election in the interest of tho Government, was defeated by tlio Ultra' or 'Clerical party.' Herr Krupp issued an edict that no employe should tako into his cottage or read the local papers of tho Ultramontane party. A few days after this udiet a poor workman being found wrapping up hU MulUrbroil in a sheet of the journal wan iustaijtly dismissed. "'-A'. J", Post. SUMNER'S STRENGTH. Tlio Itctnurknliln l'liyntcnl Power of llm I'll mo us Senator. Mr. Sumner stood six feet two inch s high without his shoes, and ho was so well built that his height was only no ticeable when he was near a person of ordinary size. But there was a man ner about him, a frco swing of the arm, a stride, a poso of ids shaggy head, a sway of hi 4 broad shoulders that gavo to those who knew him best the idea that he was of heroic size. Then, too, there was something in tho intent look of his deep-set oyc, his corrugated brow, tho frown born of intense thought, nnd his largo head, made to seem yet larger by its crown of thick, henvy, longish gray hair, all of which gavo tho idea of physical greatness; but with Iiia frequent smile tho sot frown passed, his wholo appearance changed, and his faco beamed liko a dark lantern suddenly lighted. His smilo effected a wonderful transforma tion in his whole appearance, and it set up a peculiar sympathy between himself and its recipient. For ono of his sedentary habits, ho had extraordinary strength, and yet ho was not an athlete. While in Wash ington his only exercise was walking, and as lie believed it was tho pace rather than tho distance that tells, when opportunity ofTercd ho would go at a rate that amazed beholders. Some poi sons attempting to join and keep up with him only succeeded by taking an occasional hop, skip and jump, such as children practice when walking with their parents. Up to the time of his in juries ho walked much in Washington, for, as ho said, ho could outwalk omnibuses, and give them long odds. Ho was hardly aware of his enormous strength, it was so seldom called into exercise. His books were packed in largo boxes at the end of each session and sent from his rooms to tho Capitol, only to bo roturnod at the beginning of tho next session. These boxes weighed nearly live hundred pounds each, and werodiilicult to handle in passages and stairways, and so were accompanied by four men. Once whon ho was liv ing at Kev. Dr. Sampson's, ono of these heavy boxes got stuck in tho stairway. It could bo extricated without damage to the walls only by lifting it over the banister. Tho four men failed to apply their strength to the most advantage, for they gob in each other's way, and thus failed to mo'vo the box. The Sen ator, hatted and gloved, ready to go out. caino down tho stairs. "Why don't you liftit over tho rail?" said he. "How can wo?" answered one. "You have no idea of its weight." "Iyot mo try," said tho Senator, and, leaning over the rail, ho seized tho rope bucket at tho end of tho box and lifted tho latter elear of its entangle ments by ono suro pull, splitting his glove, however, across tho back. Tho men were amazed; and he, a little embarrassed, said: "I didn't mean to lift it, only to try its weight;" and then went back for fresh gloves. Cosmopol itan. DRESS WELL, NOT GAUDY. Why Kvery Woniiin Should Arrity IIirnlf In N t'U I mill TiiHty (iiiriiM-nU. "The day will soon come," says a well-known leader of fashion, "when it will no longer bo a slur on a good wo man, old or young, to say she thinks a good deal of dress; she attaches enor mous importance to (esthetics." While it remains a good motive to give others pleasure and spare them disagreeable shocks, the rule must hold good in every department of life. "Tho day will soon conio when it shall ben recog nized duty to conceal what is oll'onsivo, when slight deformities of limb and skin shall be avowedly disguised by art and great and startling deformities shall cease to disgrace our public streets. It is one of the duties of life to grease the wheels on which we drive as far as ever that is consistent with other du tied, and most people must judge for themselves how far that is. "It is as easy to dress well as ill, since dress we must. Absolute uncon sciousness as to how she looks is im possible to any woman, since every eye tells her unbidden; therefore, inditl'er ence to appearance is inculcated. It is natural to wish to please in all ways by kindness and a pleasant manner or, at least, not to displease. How deli cately Goldsmith distinguishes his two types of innocent and admirable wo manhood! DltVerently lovely, 'Olivia was often afflicted from too groat a de sire to please; Sophie even repressed excellence from her fears to offend' 'one vanquished by a single blow, the other by efforts successfully repeated.' "Very beautiful women are seldom vain. They are so used to their own beauty that they do not think much about it, any more than a man thinks much about his rank or profession when not engaged in ids duties. The vain woman is the one who has been un fairly disparaged. Undue self-con-sclousness is the revolt against injustice and liko all revolts is disagreeable. Woro all women acknowledged to have each her points, personal as well as mental, and allowed to cultivate them in a sensible and simple spirit, there would bo loss envy and malice, lc.s vanity and wasted time, and more in nocent pleasure throughout life. Hut a pretty woman who leaves her mind uncultivated her mind and heart for the sake of tier body, that is the illus tration of the 'jewel of gold in the swinu's MioittP' "Dry Good Chroni cle.

GREAT TELESCOPES. U'liy They Are of Mori- Service to Science Thnii Smull Initruini-ritn. It Is frankly to be admitted that for ordinary work enormous instruments nre not advantageous; those of moder ate dimensions will do far more easily and rapidly tho work for wliich they aru capable. It would bo poor econo my to shoot squirrels with liftcen-ineh cannon. Observers with smaller in strument, if they have sharp eyes and use them faithfully, can always lmn enough to do and do it well. But the groat telescope has two advantages which arc decisive. In tlio first place, it collects more light, and so makes it possible to use higher magnifying pow ers, and thus virtually to draw nearer to tho object studied than wo can with tho smaller one; and, in tho next place, in consequence of what is known as diffraction," the image of a luminous point made by a large lens Ms smaller and sharper than that made by a small one. The smaller the telescope tho larger are the so-called "spurious disks" of a star, so that in the case of i close double star, for instance, where our nine-inch telescope shows only an oval disk, the twenty-three inch shows two line distinctly separated points. It is true that tlio atmospheric disturb ances, which always prevail to a great er or less extent, very seriously affect tho "seeing" with largo instruments. I'ho "power of tho prince of tlte air," winch is to an astronomer tlio very typo of tho "total depravity of an inanimate things," on nine clear nights out of ten deprives a great telescope of much of its just superior ity, so that on an ordinary night ft good observer with an aperture of twolve or fifteen inches can make out all that can be fairly seen with twenty-four or thirty inches at tho same time. And yet tho writer lias continually verilir 1 in his experience the observation ol Mr. Clark, who said: "You can always see with a largo telescope every thing shown by a smaller one a little better if tho seeing is bad; immensely better if it is good." Hut when a really good night comes, as once iu a while it does, then to a grout telescope heaven opens, now worlds appear, old illusions are dissipated, and observations and meas urements before beyond tho loach ol human skill become possible, easy and accurate. In fact, tho rensonablcss of wanting still largor telescopes is iden tically tho same as that of wanting a telescope at all. Of course, it is im possible to predict what discoveries will bo made with tho great Lick tele- scope wnen it is erected on us moun tain of privilege very likely none. It is not possible now to go out at night. as some seem to think, and pick up "discoveries" as one would gather llowers iu a forest. But wo may be suro of this, that it will collect data, with micrometer, camera and spectro scope, which will remove many old difficulties, will clear up doubt-, will actually advance our knowledge, and, what is still more important, will pre pare tho way and hew the steps for still higher climbing toward the stars.

If thore is any tiling that disgusts the tall corn and silo editor more than an other, it is newspaper humor. Every tune ho reads a pun, lit! loses ins cud, and once when lie clipped a funny poem and printed it in his department thinking it was a "Song of tlio Farm er," ho kicked down his manger and was off his feed for a week. One day. he came into tho office iu high good humor. He had an egg in Ids pocket as big as a turnip, a ttock of millet thirteen feet long--the boys had worked over two hours splicing it and a bottle of sorghum that killed all the cockroaches iu tho office. "I'll give you something for your funny column," said tho old man. graciously, "something that you won't be ashamed to have people read." "You needn't credit it," lie went on, as he scratched across the paper with a quill pen that sounded like a creak ing wairon troinir down lull, and that (lowed ink liko an artesian. "Just put it rii'htin with vourown: thank heaven my reputation doesn't depend on these thines. There she is. and she s a corker." And tlio ever gloomy hu morist road: "No." said Mr. Fuss- budget, savagely, "Matilda can't have a new dross, limes are hard, and l m roiiiL' to have a tariff for revenue, dress or no dress." "Well," said his wife, "so wo think Matilda is go ing to have a tear if Iter have a new dress, too." There was a mo meiit of embarrassing silence, which was broken bv tho mIo editor: "See? Tear if her have a new; put it in: that'll catch 'em."

A Ncwly-DIncovrreil Affliction of Itnllr.mil Isinplojes. At a recent meeting of the Society of Physicians of tlio Cluiritc Hospitil in Berlin, Thomson exhibited a patient whoso case lie described as ono of railway brain," a neurosis resem bling in many respects the condition droadv well known under the name of "railway spine." A healthy rail way employe, aged thirty, without history of alcliolisin, or of any predis posing neurotic condition, by tlio sud den motion of his train was thrown violently against tlio side of a car, striking his head. Ho sustained no wound, nnd at tho time of injury con sciousness was preserved. Soino hours afterwards, however, ho was suddenly sciz-d with syncope, with mental terror, lost all senso of loca tion, could not recognize tlio simplest familiar object, and described what ho saw erroneously; his ono objective symptom was absolute atiiuUhe- ia of the eutiro body. On the fourth day after his injury ho had violent headaches, a pulse rate of forty-four, nnd in addition to the cutaneous ana3sthcsia, loss of ol factory and tasto sensations, with diffi cult hearing. On tlio liftli day tho psychic symptoms suddenly ceased, ho could remember nothing which had happened, and had no explanation for ids condition. The patient subsequently becamo very melancholic, complaining of in somnia, headache, spinal pain, weari ness and failure of appetite; no solva tions of terror or disordered dreams were prcsont. The objective symp toms remaining were well-marked cranial and spinal hyponu-dhesia; fail ure to distinguish between white and colors; los- of smell and taste, and im paired hearing; numbness, and at times paresis and spasms of the region supplied bv the facial nerve wero also present. Ilo was discharged from tho hosDital as improved, but two mouths afterward his condition was unchanged; ho was unable to work on account of headache and weakness. Thomson's diagnosis was "railway brain," a condition of profound disturbance of cerebral func tions from shock. Tho increase in mechanical appli ances, and the immense extension of railways, afford abundant opportunities for observation of nervous shock, both iu its fatal and milder forms. Whilo post-mortem demonstration of hem orrhage and structural leslonsexplains tlio course of these cases when fatal, it is evident that wo must rely up m tho continuod observation of surviving patients to dotorniino the development of lesions which will illustrate tho pathology of this condition. Tho pos sibility of tho production of degenera tive changes in nervous matter, and cerebral conditions causing permanent mental impairment, is an interesting question for neurologists, and, iu its medico-legal aspects, for tho corpora tion whoso property may cause such injuries, to their patrons and employes. .Ucilical iVcws.

The tract of land whieh lies between Brazil and French Guiana, and which was a no-man's laud, has been de clared by its inhabitants an independ ent country. Tho Republic of Counanl. as it is called, is 2-1,000 miles in ex tent, tlio coast lino is 187 miles long anil tho population 700 persons, one half of whom dwell at Coiinani. tlio capital, in tliirty-fivo houses. Th bulk of these are descendants of Maroons, or slave refugees from Bra zil, but I learn from M. Boi-sd. iho agent of tlio new-Hedged republic in France, that their svinpathios aro en tirely French. In 18S:i they begged to be annexed to France, but tho French Government declined, in observance of a treaty entered into with Brazil iu 18 11 which declared Counani neutral soil. Hopulseil, but not ballled, tho na tives unanimously set up a republic, with a French journalist, M. Jules Gros, at lis head. Tho other members of the (i iverumont aro likewise Frenchmen, living iu Franco, and tho French language is renderod official in the new-born Slate.

Tho prob'e a of dressing economical ly is one that most women have- U solve. Allhoii-h good dress is not neces sarily cxpeus vo, yet it takes money to bo wisely economical. Some one says- that a lady should choose first tho be coming, then tho good, and last the fashionable in dress, considering her age, station .-fid "points." It is well, from the point of economy, to decide upon a certain stylo of dress and ad hero to it.. When a limited range of becoming colors has been fixed upon, it is much easier to combire tlio two old dresses into ono and to use up odds and ends successfully. A few people affect a permanent style copied from somo old picture; se oral good dresses may then last for years without need of change. But tho greater number of women who "stud- economy dress in black, which is cheap, becoming, liked by most gen tlomeii, and sanctioned bv these artists in inexpensive living the French." Every one has hoard of the English lady "who always dressed in rich black velvet and antique lace and yet spent less tlian her neighbors. She accom plished this miracle by having three volvot dresses of different degrees of nowness, and buying one every live years. A certain Now York lady al ways wore black silk, declaring it was cheaper and more satisfactory than any other dress. Old ladies should certainly adopt a permanent, subdued style of dres-". Unhealthy dress Is al ways extravagant. II -avy skirts, light waists and L mis Qiiinzo boots bring expensive doctors' bills. It. is an economy to have a few dresses that will meet all emergencies; there aro less to be kept iu order and made over. A real lady would be satisfied with a few tilings, good of their kind. Hand sonic lace, a fine iowol of cameo, an In dia shawl will last a life-time and bo an economy iu tlio cud. Wash dresses are by no means eco nomical unless a laundry is kept in tho house. Black wraps, and bonnets to go with all one's drosses, save trouble and expense. Ono ought not to save on shoes, gloves and corsets, as they should always be well cut and in good condition. Tho beauty of a gown depends not upon its price, but on its cut and color; uaslmicre is one of tlio prettiest as well as ono of the cheapest materials, and comes in tlio most beautiful colors. Whether or not a general s 1 3 1 o of dress has been decided upon, the economist will al ways buy with judgment. She will consider what she has and what she needs, often planning one dress to answer for several occasion8. Sho will avoid novelties as loo noticeable for her limited and long-enduring wardrobe, and follow only the gen eral direction of fashion's dictates. Sho will understand all tho secrets of "bargains." "reinnanis," and buying at the end of a season when goods are "reduced," but sho will never buy any thing merely be causo it is "eh'cap" or beeau-e tlio salesman assures her it is just what she wants. She always gets gooil materials, knowing they cost lo.-s in tho end, and gives preference to lhoo noted for their durability, as Scotch cheviots and India silks. Sho will prefer French underwear with its deli cate hand-wrought cowing and em broidery to garments loaded with Hamburg edging and cheap lace, and sho will know that antique laces last twice as long and are twice as hand some as the modern article. B -fore buying a color to place near her face, our prudent woman will lest its ef fect upon her hand and draw her con clusions; if a vivid green makes her hand pale and sallow, it will have a similar elleet upon her face. Of course, tho woman who can make lior own clothes saves a great deal; materials aro choap, but making is not. Many ladies make their own summer dresses, but omploy a dres maker for handsomo costumes; in this case it is economy to select a thorough ly good workwoman, even if some what expensive, but to sco thai she does not choose wasteful fashions or recklessly squander her material. A well cut and made garment wears longer and is always a satisfaction. Tlio tailor suits of the present day aro wonderfully suitable and economical for street wear. An old suit for a bad day saves the better one, and an ol I black silk is a treasure. It is hard to tell just when a dre.-s slum d bo "made over" experience only can decide A thrifty young woman of niv ac quaintaiico novcr has a dress which can not bo washed; her wool dresses conio from tho wash-tub "as good, as new." Velvet waists and pretty neck arrangements and hand kerchiefs freshen up old skirts. The old things should bo usod in preference to buying now ones. Aprons save dresses; a jersoy substituted for the dress waist under a wrap is economy and so is tho combination of an old skirt and fresh waist undor a long gar ment for theater wear. Iu fact 0001101113 has a thousand lit tle tricks to save. Have sovoral pairs of shoes on hand and the same of gloves, giving preference to the usual tan color. If you can make your own bonnots, always buy the best velvet and wear It several seasons with a lit tle change. Expensive niching which can not bo washed is more extravagant tnaii tlnu lace. Do not wear whilo k rts on the stroot. Ono need not fear being "known" by a dross, pro vided it is, good. By all means koop your wardroba in first rate repair, leaving no holo or rip unmeiidud A. Jf.
