Within the last five hundred years the height of the English aristoc racy has considerably Increased. Chauneey SL Depew recently re ceived a couple of handsome blue China ruses from tho French Government in recognition ot bis connection wuu tne Barlholdi statue celebration, and as a graceful compliment for his services as orator on that occasion. They are ex quisite specimens of workmanship. "One of the drollest of recent tilings," writes a London correspond ent, "is a statement by G. F. Watts that many years ago he lent one of his paintings seven feet high with two life size figures of young Saxons doing sentry duty on a clisT, and not only had it not been returned, but he is un able to remember whom he lent it to," While Mrs. Shepherd, daughter of William IL Vanderbilt, was in San Francisco she dined at a fancy Chinese restaurant, l5ml 3 nest soup, sharks' n3 and emperor's tea were some of the high-priced dainties which were especially relished. She bought all the tea of that brand the restauranteur had, the price being seven dollars a pound. The famous English "bone-setter," Mr. llutton, who died recently, had no learning. He neither "walked tho hospitals" nor ever learned the names of all the crevices in the human skele ton. If he had had all the bones of the 'human body thrown down before him he would have been at great pains to arrange them in order. Yet trained men sent patients with dislocations to him. -p. X. Fain, of Carrollton, Ga- has hi his possession the inaugural address delivered by ex-President Polk, Novem ber 14. 1839, after his election to the gubernatorial chair of Tennessee. The address is handsomely printed on a piece of white silk, eighteen by eight een inches, and was presented to Captain Farm's grandfather, and will fco doubl pass through the hands of many generations to come, as It is a relie worth preserving. The address is considered as one of the ablest ever delivered by the distinguished ex-President. Minneapolis thinks that it has the fastest typesetter in the country. Ilia name is Miln and he came from Sioux -City, lie is known as the "Missouri Hirer Rusher," but his experience, un til very recently, was confined wholly to country newspapers. He was put oa a ease and worked seven successive nights, pasting up a string of 101,00') ems. This is an average of 14,428 ems per night. The work was on straight matter. He can set 2,000 ems per hour with comparative ease. Composition of Rails. Ik is stated that the average composi tion of rails manufactured at the five well-known German establishments of Horde, Krnpp, Wikowitz. Phoenix and Reschitza, is a3 follows: Carbon, 0.31; manganese, 0.33, silicium, 0.08: phos phorus, 0.09; sulphur, 0.01; and copper, 0. 14. But the composition of rails from the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean railroad, and which are said to have proved better in . respect to wear than the above, averaged as follows: Carbon, 0.83; manganese, 0.69; silicium, 0.15; phosphorus nearly 0.05, and sulphur. 0.05. It further appears that although on German railroads the rolling stock is lighter, and the speed of the trains ... -slower than characterize French rail roads, yet, with equivalent conditions in respect to track, the difference in the wear of the rails is ascertained to be as much as 1 to 1.5, in favor of those man ufactured in France. N. T. fSun. A CABINET-MAKER'S LUCK. Some men are born rich, tome ac quire riches and others have riches thrust upon them. To the latter for tunate class belongs Mr. Charles A. Johnson, who resides at 375 W. Ohio street, Chicago, and who was the lucky holder of one-tenth of ticket No. 13,646 which drew the first capital prize of 1150,000 in the October 11th Drawing of The Louisiana State Lot tery Com -any. A Traveler reporter, hearing ' of his good fortune, called upon Mr. John son to congratulate him and hear from Li own lips the story of his profitable investment. He found Mr. Johnson a very intelligent young Swede, twenty-seven years of age, a cabinet-maker by occupation, who six years ago came to America and found employment at his trade in Chicago. Being of sober, frugal and industrious habits, bis Wages were Fufficient to maintain him comfort ably, but would not permit of much to be laid aside for a rainy day. Hav ing three times before purchased tickets in the lottery and drawn noth ing, his joyful surprise may be imag ined when he found tbat his last investment of one dollar bad brought him a return of $15,000. The money " was received by Mr. Johnson through the American Express company on October 21, ju.st ten days after the drawing, and is now deposited to hie credit in one of the banks of the city. When questioned regarding the use to which be would put his fortune, Mr. Johnson said : "I shall remain in Chicago and at once build a comfort fcble. b furnish it elegantly, and marry the young lady to whom I have for some urne been betrothed. For the present I shall continue at my trade, and later I may engage in busi ness for myself." Mr. Johnson is pleased with the promptness with - which the Lottery Company forwarded the amount of his prize, and especially is he delighted that be can now marry and maintain in comfort the lady of Lis choice. He is a sensible as Well as & fortunate young man, and will, with out doubt, make good use of his sud denly acquired. wealtli!V Arkansaw Zravxr. Svv. 5. r THE LIMEKILN CLU3.

Charles Dickens was a very little and a very sickly boy. but he had al ways the belief that this circumstance had brought to him the inestimable advante of having greatly inclined him to reading. When money troubles came upon his parents, the poor little fellow was taken away from school and kept for some time at an occupation the most distasteful to him, with every surrounding that could jar on sensitive and refined feelings. But the great hardship, and the one which he felt most ac My, was the want of the companionship of boys of his own age. A few years later on, we read in "Mr. Forster's Life" a school-fellow's de scription of Charles Dickens: "A healthy-looking boy. small but well built, with a more than usual flow of spirits, inclining to harmless fun, seldom or never, I think, to mischief. He usuallj held his head more erect than lads ordinarily do, and there was general smartness about him." This is also avery good personal de scription of the man. I have never heard him refer in any way to his own childish days, excepting in one in stance, when he would tell the story of how, when he lived at Chatham, he and his father often passed Gad's Hill in their walks, and what an admiration he had for the brick house, with its beautiful old cedar trees, and how it seemed to him to be larger and finer than any other house; and how his father would tell him that if he were to be very persevering, and were to work hard, he might perhaps some day come to live in it. I have heard him tell this story over and overagain, when he had become the possessor of the very place w hich had taken such a hold upon his child ish affection. Beyond, this I can not recall a single instance of any allusion being made by him to his own early childhood. He had a wonderful at traction for children, and a quick per ception of their character and dispo sition; a most winning and easy way with them, full of fun, but also of a graver sympathy with their many small troubles and "perplexities, which made them recognize a friend ia him itonee Golden Days. mr MISCELLANEOUS.

A leaf of the giant water lily (Vic toria regia) has been known to meas ure 24 feet 9 Inches in circumference, its weight being nearly I I pounds. One of the flowers was 4 feet 2 inches in circumference, with petals 9 inches In length and weighed 8J pounds. How fast does a snail really travelP We speak ot a "snail's pace," but what idea does the expression convey to us beyond the general one of extreme slow ness? Some one of an Inquiring turn of mind has recently determined by measurement that the proverbial "pace" is precisely a mile in fourteen days. "Yes," said Miss Breezy, of Chi cago, "it is a pleasure to dine at the V abashes. Mr. Wabash is naturally hospitable, and, aside from the general excellence, every thing is served in a way that Is positiya'y delightful to a pei-sou of culturcu tastes. And her soups are delicious. Why, do you know," went on the young lady, "that last evening I was served to soup three times, and could easily hare gone one more," N. T. Sun. A little lad who is aeeustomed to sav his jnavers every night Las made it his especial petition for a week past to ask for "pleasant weathsr." As .nay be understood, the daily responses have not been very encouraging to him, and when he got to this point In his little prayer last night he stopped short, opened his eyes and asked his waiting mother in plaintive voice: "Mamma, do you thiuk God will say Chestnut,' if 1 ask for that pleasant weather again?" Providence Journal. The wearing of men's clothes in public places by women has been com mon enough in Paris to daw the at tention of the prefect of police, who has published the law bearing on the case. It prohibits women from appearing in men's attire in other than carnival days without authorization from the police.

So long as there is no demand for the creation of the office of photographer general of the navy with jventeen assistants with the rank and pay of commodores, the new departure w ill be a good thing.

An old clergyman firmly believed this who had received a call to a small church in the eastern part of this State from his much larger parish in Massa chusetts. A delegation from the church was sent to urge him to accept the call. He asked them what the salary was. They replied that it was about $00 per year, nut mat tne people were very generous and were continually bring ing in things to the minister. "Well," said he, 'l don t wish to offend j ou, but 1 must positively decline. And now let me give you a bit of mv ex perience: In my j-ounger days I re ceived a call to a 'small parish where, as in the case with your people, they were very liberal. It was their custom to always give the minister a ball of butter when they churned and a quarter of veal when thev slaughtered. I ac cepted the calL Things went along as they represented during the first year. After that there began to be a falling ofl in their donations until I toon re ceived hardly any thing. I began to make inquiries. One of my parish ioners tola me I gave fierfect s.itisf ac tion, but the people haa begun to Taiso their calves.' And. it has been my ex perience," continued the old minister. that donating parishioners soon begin How American floods Ar Carried Across tho Canadian) Una. Quite a thriving smuggling business 9 done by boatmen on the river, and at least three Fort Erie boatmen make their living this way. while there- are dozens of others who carry contraband goods occasionally. Two Fort Erie fish ermen, who were drowned last winter, had their boat loaded with five hun dred pounds of coal, which caused the craft to capsize on the ice-floe when a break-up occurred on the lake. The penalty for smuggling into Canada is heavy, and there are some queer- wrinkles in the law. For in stance, the informant gets a lir-je per centage of the proceeds of a seizure. Then, if a pertn should smuggle a small amount of goods while entering the larger part, the whole is subject to peizure. When Root & Routine's confi dential clerk, Erp, embezzled svveral thousand dollars, he built a line house over the river in Fort Erie aud furnished it in excellent style. He entered his household goods on the free list as having been used several months, but afterward smuggled over several lace window curtains. A Fort Erie woman, who got into Mrs. Erp'a confidence, in formed the officers, and every thing in the house was seized. The informant got a large part of the furniture, and has some of. it now in her house in the village. The seizure so broke up Erp that he returned to Buffalo and gave up all he liad left on condition that he would not le criminally prosecuted. A veteran boatman said to-day: "Smuggling is going .on all the time along the Niagara river front. It is mostly from this side into Canada. Small boats are used, and every even ing dozens of parcels are carried over. Fort Erie people get. seven-eighths of their supplies from Buffalo, and seven eighths of this pays no duty. They bring the goods down to the water front and leave them with -some boat house keeper or friend and give some boatman over the river a tip to ferry them across. They'll do it for twenty five cents and deliver tho goods after dark. The Canadian officers are hon est enough, but they have got too much to watch and can notcovcrevery point. "I ferried over four young fellows one night who each had a new suit of clothes. People save fifty per cent., on some things' and then they can't get what they want over in Canada. Poor coffee costs forty cents a pound, when just as good can be got in Buffalo f ir twenty-five cents. - Tea is the same way. You can not get a decent pair of shoes in Fort Erie. Housekeepers go to the city, order ten or twelve dollars worth of goods to be delivered at a cer tain place along the river, and during the night the goods are transferred across. Buffalo Cor. Chicago Kews. Tim Costly Waterway Which Ts to t'nits tha North Sea anil tha Ualtio. "It has been the dream of German statesmen for years past to open water communication between the North Sua and tho Baltic. Thosa two bodies oi water form a portion of the northerly boundary of the German Empire, ou: between them stands the Kingdom of Duvmark. There is already communi cation between tho two seas by way of ne E'der river and the Kiel canal, and rdso by way of the Strecknllz canal," which furnishes an outlet from the Elbe river into the B.ver Trave, and thence into the Baltic, But a broader, thorter and deeper avenue of connec tion was needed than these efford. Tlds is to be furnished by the North Sua and Baltio canal, the work on which was formally begun a short time a?o. The new canal, which Is to run throu ;h the province of Sehleswlg H dstein, will ba about 65 miles long. 197 feet wide at the surfaco of the wa ter, 85 feet wide at thu bottom, and to be of an averaue deen of 23 feet at mean high water. The cost of con struct ion Is estimated at 156.000,00) marks, or about $38,000,000. Trussla pays alxnit a third of the expense of the work, tho remainder being borne by the rest of the Empire. Tho canal. therefore, will be broad enough to readily permit the passing of one ves sel by another, and be deep enough to float the largest war vessel yot con- Structed. It is estimated that the work will bo completed in about seven year. The labor of construction will bo greatly lessened by the fact that for a portion ot its length the projected canal will pa through one eaual al ready built. The latter will bo simply widened and deepened. The whole work will be under the supervision of the Government, D.iring peace tho canal will be open to the ships of all nations. It will shorten the route between any of the B -Uisli, Fiench or American ports and any point on tne JJaitie tea by about 240 miles, which means a saving of lime of about three dnys for a sailing vessel, and twenty or twenty-two hours for a steauK-r. Tho expect ation ia that the toll wnich will be exacted of trad ing vessels will pay the expense of maintaining the canal, not including Interest on the InveHmen. This tax. which will ineludo pilotage, towage. lighterago and othrr expenses of that class, is to be at the rate of about eighteen cents a ton. The entire rev enue from tlds source, it is anticipated. will reach a total of about $1,100,000 a year. An inducement for using this waterway, aside from the shortening of the distance between the two oceans which it will bring about, will be tho 'reatcr safety which w 11 be nssured. the ron'e around the D.mmark capes through the Skager B -.ck and the Sou-id being more than ordiuai-ilr perilous at certain seasons. Of course tho primary purpose of the canal will be military, not commercial Germany's two greatest naval stations are Wilhemsh.-tve t and Ki -L The for mer is on the North S a, and the latter n tho Btltie. Tho canal will shorten the distance between these points about 425 or 450 miles. It will render :he voyngj between them alsi much -afer than it is at present in case of war. Under existing conditions a power like Great Britain or France, iiher of which is stronger than Ger many on the water, might be able, by b'ckadinr the Bound between Sweden and Denmark, to prevent all co-operation between a German fleet on the Baltic Sea a- d another on the North. When the canal Is fi tish -d a block ader will ran a risk of being attacked by the united fleets simultaneously. The or.lv drawback to the canal from a mil itary point of l "W is the possibility of SU freezing sj thickly as to render It impassable for about three months out of every twelve. S'.

Foul dusts In rooms can not be got rid of by any amount of sweeping and rariwt-hcaiing. Iho only thing that w II remove and replace, it U a current of comparatively pure air from the out- ;ilv l'.M-ept in very cold weather there fhotdd always be two open win dows in each room, on opposite sides. 'IX wo should fullow that advice," the Imrrilied reader will exclaim, "vre should all catch a fatal cold. Don't I remember a dozen colds I got by being exposed to a sudden draught? Only a few nights ago, when I occupied a seat near the door of a theater, the door was left open during the intermis sion, and the draught, though pleasant enough gave me a bad cold. Sio. thank you. No draughts for me!" This logic seems good, yet it is utter sophis try. As a metaphysician would say, the draught was only the occasion, not the cause, of the cold. The real cause was the foul, hot air in the theater, which demoralized your skin and re laxed - its blood vessels, so that they were unable to react siuldeniy ami en dure the healthful, cool air from ths ntPMt. Iu other words, it was not the ht that gave you a cold, but the .. .-..-II transition from hot to cold air. Such a transition always is injurious to the skin, whether it be from hot to cold or from cold to hot air. But if you are not overheated a current of cold air is never injurious. As one of the greatest authorities on hygiene, Prof. Reel am remarks: "Draughts are not injurious unless we are in a glow. To healthy pei-sons they can not possibly do so much harm as the stagnant air in a close room. The fear of draughts ia entirely groundless, though it affects most people in a manner which is simply ludicrous." It is high timo to acquit draughts of the charge of being tho cause of our colds and to convict the true culprit, the injurious hot-house at mosphere in our looms. Why do peo ple on river excursions or on ocean steamers, where they are exposed to terrible draughts, never "catch colds?" Simply because their skins are not pre viously broiled" in hot-houses. 2'hc Epoch. l I Wl v aS? CamclUn Improws snd presnrs ths eoaplexlni.

Schleswig-llolfttcin, Baden and Hesse, it appears that tho danger from lightning in these parts (unlike the cae of other nrts of German r) has been decreasing of lato years. Soft roofed houses aro fired about seven times oftencr than those with hard roofs. Windmills are struck 62 times, and church and cluck towers S3 times oftrmer than ordinary houses with hard roofs. Tho marshy regions in Schles-wig-Holstoin are the most dangerous; and the land about inlets of the east coast the safest. With liko conditions, the relative danger decrease the more houses are grouped together. In Baden the danger varies moro than in any part of Germany (aliout Heidelberg it is 24. and in Waldshut 265 per million houses). In H 'SAO, tho low plain of the middle Rhine is the most dangerous pnrt. In tho fifteen years 18C8 83, there were killed by lightning for every million men in Frutsia 4.4, in Baden S.8, in France 3.1 and in S.veden 8.0. Iho geological nature of the ground, and especially its capacity- for wafer, hus important influence. Thus caling the danger on llnio 1, that for san I is 8. whilo for loam it ia 22. This is partly why moat of South Germany and Aits' ria is less dangerous tha'i North Germany. There are four fac tors affecti g tho lightning danger to building; two physical uticqn il fre quency of storms and geological char acter; and two social variaLle popu lation and mode of building.
