The schooner Halcyon has been seized at Victoria, B. 0., by the customs au thorities for an alleged infraction of the ouatom laws of Canada. The offense charged was that of lying In the harbor on the weit coast of Vancouver Island without entering at the customs. In an Interview President Manvel of ' the Santa Fe at San Diego is reported to have said : "The company has no inten tion of extending its lines from Los An geles to San Francisco. I don't know why they didn't do it In the first place, but it is out of the quetition now." Three Mexicans have been arrested at Tia Juana who were making; a profita ble business of robbing Chinese. The Mexicans would agree to pilot the Mon golians across the line, and after a sale distance from Mexican authority they were stood up and robbed of every cent they had. The killing of Police Officer William F. Jordan at Butte, Mont., by burglars has aroused the people. Frequent hold ups, burglariea and robberies have tended to intensity the feeling, and a vigilance coram'ttee Will probably be or ganized.

Alexander Henry, Inventor of tho cel ebrated Martin-Henry rille. used exclu sively in the British army, is a Scotch man by birth, and last month celebrated his 74th birthday. President Tuttle of Walmsh College has retired from service after holding of fice thirty ynars. He has been on duty all of that time except two months, a record not easily paralleled. The late Senator Barbour of Virginia left the bulk of his property, valued at foO.OOO, to his sister-in-law, Miss KUen Daingerlleld, who has Iteen appointed administratrix of the esUte. Mrs. Langtry won I20.IXX) at the Ascot rat es, l or years she hai looked upon the gold enn as an almost certain source of Income, "her choice of horses in the race being generally fortunate. Marie (Weill Is only the pen name of the writer whose works have won the approval of Queen Victoria. She is a daughter of the late Dr. Charles Mackay, and her name is Marion Mackay. Pierre Millet, the brother of Jean Francois Millet, is living in Boston, lie Is a sculptor of great anility, but, like his brother, is retiring and modest to an unusual degree, and shrinks from noto riety. Minister T. Jefferson Coolldge lives at Coolidge Neck. Manchester, Mans., when lie is at home in summer. I'-ornelnis Vauderbilt succeeds him tliere this sea son, having taken a lease of Coolidge Neck, The Cologne Ua:rlle says that the con dition of the mad King of Bavaria is now merely vegetative; that he is unable to distinguish persons in his familiar en touragr, and that his attendants have the greatest diiliculty in getting him to take food. M t..lua. f-,ll.l.. I,a nnno..n,l the eyes of the Paris correspondent of the London Xeut, "is white-haired, hale, of a straight carmine and a direct man ner. He strikes one as a man of intel lect nal as well as business tastes and pursuits." When the little ten-year-old Crown Prince of Germany marched at the head of his regiment during tho recnt mili tary review at Potsdam no one applauded him more heartily than tlie little Uueen of Holland, who stood atone of the pal ace windows. King Oitcar of Sweden is a man of tall and spare figure, with white hair and tieard. lie enjoys excellent health. When the King visited President Carnot at the Elysee he wore the medal granted him by the French government for throwing himself belore two horses that were running away with a carriage tilled with ladies. The death of General K. 8. Protitch, one of the Regents of Servia, has al ready been mentioned. When King Milan abdicated in March, 1880, he read his declaration before his Council of Ministers, knelt before his son and took the oath of allegiance. This example was loliowed by the three Regents, whom he appointed. Uencrai Protitch had twice been Minister ot War, and was a great favorite in the army. His age was OX THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. The Chair In Which Thomas Jefferson Sat While Writing the Declara tion of Independence. The citizens of St. Joseph, Mo., oppose the removal of the house in which Jesse James was killod to the World's Fair for exhibition. The Board of World's Fair Managers Vi X cuiiajM wis in una vapviiuuu tuuiuuv w of the $3 10,000 appropriated to it by the last Legislature. The chair In which Thomas Jefferson sat while writing the Declaration of In dependence is now owned by the Philo sophical Society, Philadelphia. It id re ported that this interesting relic will be exhibited at the World's Fair, South Burmah and the East Indies in tend to have a worthy exhibit at the exposition. The Chamber of Commerce of Kurrachee has appointed JehangirH. Kathari, a prominent wealthy merchant of Kurrachee, special commissioner to develop an exhibit for the fair. The High School of San Diego, Cal., will give a grand Fourth of July ceiebra tion and devote the proceeds toward making a complete collection of San Diego ti eh for exhibition at the World's Fair. The specimens will be preserved in alcohol and properly labeled, etc. The exhibit will be a competitive one. Chief Ives, who is in Europe in the interest of the fine arts department of the World's Fair, 1ms written that the French and American artists in Paris are all agog with enthusiasm for the fair. The American artists are hard at work, and their section of tbe exhibit will be unexpectedly large and of the highest order. It is probable that a number of genu ine Astrakhan sheep, the finest speci mens living, will be exhibited at the World's Fair. A dozen of them have re cently arrived in this country from Per sia, having been purchased there by United States Minister Beale for Secre tary Rusk of the Department of Agri culture, who intends to try the experi ment ot raising the species in this coun try. They are to be taken to Southern California, and if they prosper, will be taken to the fair next summer. IiliYOl THE ROCKIES Building and Loan Associations of . the United States. THE MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN Great Drought In Northern Mexico and Portions of Texas Chicago River Swollen. Harvest hands command $3 a day and ineir "Keep" in Kansas this year. The Cleveland street car strikers have refused the compromise proposition. Cut-worms are proving very destruct ive to tobacco in Henry county, Tenn. The population of the town of Okar- the, Oklahoma, grew 1,500 in one uLjht recently. The Louisiana Legislature has re pealed the law creating the board of flour inspectors. (ireat trouble Is experienced in ven tilating the St. Clair tunnel, which was opened last year. A leather trust has been Incorporated In New Jersey. It will deal in all kinds of goods made from leather. Building and loan associations of the United Statei are trying to perfect a na tional organization at Chicago. Because ot the enactment of the sepa rate coach law, tiie negroes of Kentucky propose to boycott tne railways. About 1,000 negroes in and around Nashville, Tenn.. are makinir readv to emigrate to Oklahoma in the fall. Immigrants to the number of 02.242 arrived in this country during May, in may, leui, tne number was BO,tm. The Missouri crop bulletin reports a very good condition and yield in har vested grain, but with light acreage. The great drought in Northern Mexico an t portions of Texas still continues. and there is much Buffering in conse quence. The defalcation of Treasurer Dahn of tbe Buffalo National Savings Bank will probably reach between 2J0,000 and 3OO,0JO. The English party composing the syn dicate wtiich owns the Black Hills tin mines near Rapid City are to visit the property; The Sugar Trust has agreed to give the wholesale grocers who maintain fixed prices a rebate of one-eighth of a cent per pound. It has leen estimated by a high au thority that the country will have as much wheat to export this year as it had last year. Iron has been discovered st Mulhall, Kan., by a man digging a well, who, when down some seventy feet, struck iron. A shaft is being sunk. The elevator men at Chicago have wired to their country correspondents to stop shipping corn there till after July 15th, as it is coming in Buch bad condi tion it will not grade. Senator Gallinger is at the head of a movement to establish government san itariums in the South. When these are established his plan is to assist con sumptives to emigrate thither. The New York State census shows thnt there are about 4,000 Indians living on the several reservations in that State who Btill maintain their tribal systems, subject to State jurisdiction. A clergyman of Indianapolis, Ind.. has entered upon a vigorous crusade against church fairs, grab bags, rattles and all other schemes to raise funds for church purposes in illegitimate ways. An eight-foot tunnel, extending four miles out into Lake Michigan, has just been completed at Chicago. It will sup ply to the city 130,000,000 gallons of wa ter per day, and has cost over $1,000,000. The Broadway cable line in New York City will be operated in October. Nearly 5,000 horses are to be displaced. The total cost of the new road is $5,000,000. Cotton drive rope Is used to prevent noise. The Chicago river is swollen to such an extent that nearly 1,500 houses in Ravenswood, a suburb of Chicago, were surrounded by water. The main sewers in Chicago are clogged and basements flooded. Following are the newly elected di rectors of the Nicaraguan Mail, Steam and Navigation Company: Albert O. Cheney, Samuel 0 Miller, Louis Chable, Warner Miller and George W. Davis, all of New York. There is a law on the Kansas statute book which provides for the delivery of all letters for girls under 1ft and boys under 21 years of age to their parents and guardians, but it would take the militia to enforce it. The Lkhthonee Board has arranged for a series of experiments on Staten Island, N. Y.. of a new magnesium light, which is reported to have devel oped wonderful illuminating powers at recent observations in Germany. Owing largely to the po lution of its water by sewage, there were l,997deathe from typhoid lever in Chicago last year, that being the highest known rate for a iireat city and more than five times as many as in New York. In the Senate the other day Stewart offered as a substitute for his free coin age bill one providing that the owner of silver bullion may depoeit the Bame at any mint of the United States, to be coined for his benefit, the coins to be legal tender for all debts and dues. Foreign Bilver, coin or bullion, is ex cluded, and the silver act of 1800 repealed. CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS. Resolution Requesting the Secretary of State to Inquire Into the Arrest of Dr. Thomas Gallagher. Camlnettl has hones that he will yet succeed in having his hydraulic mines bill passed before this session of Con gress adjourns. The Secretary of the Treasury is pre paring for transmission to Congress plans and estimates for the Han Francisco postofhee. He thinks a building to be in keeping with th size and importance of a city like San Francisco should cost not less than 5,0J0,0O0 or 0,000,000. The Committee on the Columbian Ex position decided to report favorably a bill In aid of the fair substantially the same as that agreed on by the House Committee, providing for 10,000,000 sou venir half-dollars. It includes, however, an amendment providing the fair shall be closed on Sunday. Representative Cumraings' bill, equal izing the pay of letter carriers, has been favorably reported from the Committee on PoHtoflices and Post Roads. I he lull fixes the pay of letter carriers in all free- delivery districts at fOOJ for the first year, (800 for the second, 1 1,000 lor the third and fourth and thereafter $1,200. McAleer of Pennsylvania introduced In the House a resolution requesting the Secretary of State to inquire into the cause of arrest and imprisonment of Dr. Thomas Gallagher in England. The res olution states that it was thought he was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life through political prejudice, which existed against Irish persons in England. He was sentenced in 1883, nine days alter bis arrival in England. The r evo lution was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. ' '' The action of the House in rejecting the first two conference reports presented this session on the regular annual appro priation bills has given rise to much un favorable comment among Senators. There is no doubt that it has seriously Jeopardized the prospects of an early ad mrnment of Congress. Bad blood has been engendered on both Bides, and cer tain Senators stated recently that Con gress would remain in session until elec tion day if the House persisted in main taining its position. McMillan declared the House would remain in session all summer before accepting amendments increasing the appropriation. The Sen atorial programme is to sit it out in quiet dignity, but some members of the House threaten in that case that the House will refuse to pass any resolution extending the appropriations for the support of the government beyond July 20 next. Uf course, no one believes either House will psoceed to such extremity, but the talk shows the strength of tbe feeling. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. A Colored Girl Carries Off the Second Honors at the Graduating Exer cises of a High School. Boston schools will teach shorthand. Chicago University is rounding up a big herd of instructors. Tliere are about 9,000 school children in New York unprovided with school ac commodations. The School Board of Council Bluffs has appropriated money to purchase flags lor all tne schools. The prescribed course of medical in struction in the Mexican National Uni versity is seven years. President Low of Columbia College, New York, will make an effort to stop hazing at that institution. The conmon-school childrenof Athens are taught ancient and modern Greek, trench and sometimes linglisb.. Mrs. Hiram Kelly of Chicago has given $50,000 for one of the proposed buildings for women at the Chicago University. At the graduating exercises of the high school at Jacksonville, III., the second honors were carried off by a colored girl. The school Board of St. Paul has de cided to make no distinction of sex in the matter of teachers' salaries, women receiving the same as men for the same work. i Forty-two women have lust received the degree of Doctor of Medicine at the fort eth annual commencement of the Woman's Medical College at Philadel phia. There are at present 123,000 colleges and schools in India for men, with 3,626,300 students, but there are only to he found a few hundred schools of low vernacular standards and half a dozen colleges for women, with 294,261 stu dents. - Miss Adelina M. Iveson, one of the first graduates of the first normal school in Massachusetts, and probably the first professionally trained teacher to enter the work in the public schools of Cam bridge, finished a term of fifty years this month as a teacher in the Wash ington school, Cambridge, and a dozen citizens, headed by Governor Russell and Andrew P. Peabody, are arranging a fitting testimonial to marx tne event. It is, we suppose, quite in accordance with the tendency of mankind to be al ways in extremes, which philosophers have deplored, that we have now alighted upon a time when in many a university athletics have usurped the place of honor, and the highest ambi tion of the average student is to get a place in some team of players or rowers Alas for the day . which has seen the amusements of the playground raised to the dignity of a profession, and col lege "nines" or other numbers furnish ing choice material for the trade of the gambler. But there is some reason to hope that the pendulum, having Bwnng to the farthest limit of its arc, is now on the return. Toronto Qlobe. s Drought in Poltava Destroying Cattle and Crops. THE COLD THROUGHOUT GERMANY. Considerable Attention Attracted to the Water-power Possibilities of the Rhine Other News. The London "season'' thin vnar is lut ing voteu pretty much of a failure. That M. Pasteur has discovered a cure for epilepsy is a rumor now current in aurupe. A Parisian horticulturist claims to have succeeded in forcing the growth of vioieis uy electricity. Between Paris and Berlin mail matter is now transmitted in thirty-five min utes by the pneumatic process. A rumor is gaining strength In Ire land that Charles 8. Parnell, the Irish leader, was poisoned. There is a rumor that Gladstone in tends to take refuice in the House of Lords after the general elections. The house at Youghal, Ireland, for merly occupied by Sir Walter Raleigh, the great adventurer, was recently sold for $6,260. The Spanish government has offered England better terms for a commercial treaty, and negotiations will soon be re sumed in Madrid. It is said that the new German army bill will increase Emperor William's forces by 63,000 men and add 60,000,000 marks to the budget. Thirty thousand Mauser rifles and 150 tons of cartridges are being shipped from Hamburg to Peking, consigned to the Chinese government. , The cold throughout Germany is phe nomenal for this season. Potatoes and early vegetable crops are being badly damaged by night frosts. Should Gladstone win the English elections a Russian newspaper thinks he would allow the Czar's fleet to blockade German and Austrian ports. At Seraing, China, the contract for iron work for a large Chinese iron works has been taken out of the hands of Eng lish firms and givey to Belgians. Drought in Poltava, South Russia, is destroying cattle and crops, and the peo ple kneel around priests and elevated images in the fields and pray for rain. The story is published at Paris of an alleged plot to kidnap M. Deblier, "Jionsieur ae rans," in order to delay the execution of Ravachol. the An archist, After a long consideration of the mat ter the Italian government has decided that 6V millimeters is the best size for the bore of the new rifles for use in that country. In a battle in Matto Grosso, Brazil, between the revolutionists and the gov ernment forces it is Btated that 1,000 men were xiuea, but neither side ob tained a victory. An attempt was lately made to culti vate oysters in the Baltic. Last sum mer 50,000 were transplanted from the North Sea, but the experiment has proved a failure. Buffalo Bill's Wild West ehow exhib ited at Windsor before Queen Victoria and crowds of aristocratic personages. The Queen seemed to be delighted with everything she saw. Prof. Tyndall predicts that the first loyalist blood shed in Ulster for the sake of Archbishop Walsh and Timothy Healy will rouse a feeling of evil that will sweep Gladstone's Irish policy to perdition. The government of Baden will found a museum for history and archaeology in Rome, where special privileges have been obtained from the Pope to examine the archives of the Vatican. Liverpool will, it is expected, pub licly inaugurate the completion of her great water scheme next month. The city will have a sunply of 50,000,000 gal lons a day from Vyrnwy, Wales. The Empress of Germany has re quested the Minister of Public Instruc tion to prevent the admission to the art museumB of Berlin of young girls unless under the guidance of teachers or par ents. Bessie Bell Wood has brought suit against the Duke of Manchester at Lon don for money that she says she loaned him before he reached the ducal dignity. The Duke, in answer to the suit, denies that he owet. anything to Bessie. Russia's claim to Pameer, "The Roof of the World," has alarmed China, and a large force of Chinese troops has al ready been sent to the frontier to pre vent aggression, and, if need be, to take the offensive against the soldiers of the Czar. Messrs. Yarrow have undertaken to build a stern-wheel gunboat in thirty six days for the French to use against the natives of Dnhomey. The boat is 100 feet long, draws eighteen inches, tnd has a carry iug capacity equal to 400 troops. Captain Borup, a military attache of the United States Legation at Paris, is charged with making photographs of various defenses in France, which had been loaned him, and selling them to Germany and Italy. Borup says he does not know the man who makes the charge and who professes to be intimate with him. The newspapers are ex remely bitter toward the Captain, but he seems satisfied that he can establish I bis innocence. ( WELL FORMED CHILDREN. ftcti and Conclusion, lirawn from an la veatlf atlun of til. Schools. The common school teacher finds perfectly healthy children are a rarity. Seldom will 10 percent, of herclassof fifty be found free from any physical defect whatever and with true devel opment for their ago. Of these it must be regretfully admitted that the smallest number are Americans. The best formed school children and the healthiest are the Germans and Bohe mians, the next of Irish parentage. Nowhere, as in the south and west of Ireland, where children run free of are all the year round, hatless, shoo less, living on the coarsest, plainest food, and yet with some measure of school restrictions, can such specimens of perfect physical beauty in form and face be found. Glance over any school room, with its upturned faces inquisi tively questioning tbe thought of tho observer, and but few really fine fea tured children are to be found after the age of 10 is passed. When a handsome face, answering all the laws that govern beauty, is dis covered, it 13 invariably synonymous with good health in its possessor, and all too often of foreign parentage or birth. For these two defects, the want of good health and good looks and the added one of grace, in the ma jority of public school children, one is naturally led to think of a cause, but instead of one there are many. The primary one may be found in the fol lowing remarks of Francis Willard: "Women's everlasting befrilled, bedi zened and Ixlragged style of dress is today doing more harm to children un born, born and dying than all other causes that compel public attention." Class recitations where pupils stand are now in most schools done away with, and this is fortunate, since pu pils were sometimes kept an uncon scionably longtime on the floor, result ing in evilsbue dreads to think of, and unfortunate in that the children have all the session long no change of po sition. But the teacher who insists on having her frouW-i . ;uj, uneasy little, fellows stand foru half hour has much to answer for, as well as one who ar gues strongly on the abolition of the recess. One cannot but be sympathetic with the teacher. If she does not keep her pupils like so many trained dum mies she is a poor disciplinarian and subject to dismissal. If her class does not know every date from Adam to Harrison, and the location of all cross road towns from Siberia to Patagonia, she is not keeping up that modern bugbear, the"coursooi study." Dr. Anderson gives a list of the most common physical defects found in pupils in the'public schools. They are summarised as: Head Droops forward; carried a little to one side; chin raised too high. Shoulders Round, sloping, stoop ing and uneven ; one lower than the other. Thorax One side better developed than the other; the diameter at the base too short Upper Back Right shoulder blade too promiaeutin right handed people. Spine Bonds too far forward from between the shoulders. Waist Too narrow; abdominal muscles weak. Hips Thrown too far forward. Arms Forearm better developed than the upper arm. Leg Better developed than thigh. Thigh Inside and back poorly de veloped. Any -person entering the examining; room of a gymnasium for boys would be astonished at the large number that have one or even more of these defects, and with girls this is found almost uni versal. While with boys indulging in frequent play there will be found good muscular development of the lower limb.s, the trunk, that part hold ing the vital organs, will but occa sionally be found perfect on exami nation. As every one knows, poor circulation is a common fault, and can be remedied by exercise properly taken. Boston Herald. Industrial Associations in F ranee. There are in France 877 associatipns of employers, 891 of workingmen and 597 of farmers. The workingmen's associations, which were formerly po litical organizations, have become for the most part purdy mutual benefit societies of late years. The agricult ural societies do not agitate political ly like our grangers. They are to a large extent co-operative and techni cal. The Farmer's association near Fontainebleau, for instance, owns a slaughter house at which every mem ber has his cattle killed at very low prices. This and other similar co-operative devices of the French farmers' associations show that the French peasant is not so stupid and helpless as he is generally supposed to be. Tradesman. f Big Railroad Business. The London and Northwestern Railway company has a capital of 105.600,000, an annual revenue of 10,300,000, and an annual 'expendi ture of 5,300,000.
