the foreign sentiment in regard to an ; international bimetallic congress, and • it is generally understood that he went at the request of-the then president elect. I Senator Wolcott was born at Long ! Meadows, Mass., March 26, 1848. Al- j though only 13 when the war broke out, 1 he enlisted before it was all over. After i a brief service he studied at Yale for a short time, was graduated from Harvard i Law school and soon appeared in public life in Colorado as a district attorney. Ho became a most successful lawyer. A few years later saw him a wealthy mine owner and the leading, financier of the state. This is his second term as senator. Bank President Spalding. Here is a picture of Charles Warren Spalding, who has recently attained unpleasant notoriety as the man who wrecked the Chicago Globo Savings bank.

FACTS IN A FEW LINES. An average of 26,000 letters are post ed without addreHses in England every year. In England and Wales 14 per cent of j males'and per cent of females die of consumption. Bootblack's in Paris are licensed; de not run tlio streets; few stands; no boys —mostly old men. Atthedeathof Queen Elizabeth 8,004 dresses were in her wardrobe, of which two only were of silk. Manchester gets tlte credit of being i the corporation which is most active in suppressing the smoke nuisance. The proposal to reduce the speed of ; the Canadian line of fast Atlantic steamships does not meet, with favor in Great ; Britain. The piles of old London bridge, driven ! 800 years before, were found to be in good condition when the new bridge was erected. It has been decided in the court of queen’s bench that Wales is a district of England. Consequently a child born in , Wales must be English by birth. “Shut your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly” is a Russian savant’s recipe against seasickness. He says it is infal- , lible. At any rate it is inexpensive. And now it is claimed that the jawbones of civilized peopfes are gradually | becoming attenuated, chiefly owing to the prolonged use of knives and forks. A natural born subjeef of her majesty is a child born of British parents in any ; part of the world. A child born in England of a German father and English : mother is English by birth. Dice were developed from knuckle bones. Ingenious men filed sthooth the rounded esids, making two faces at top and two at bottom, and set numbers on each. Thus a die had no sides. Youths grow rapidly from their fox-.r teeuth to their eighteenth year and ■ then more slowly until they are 21 or 22, when th. y.cease to grow in stature, I but not in bulk if well fed and healthily lodged. Upto the beginning of the.,fou rteen tt ’ century the poj es of Rome were contented with a single crown. In 1803 ths first double one was assumed,' and in 1864 the present tiara, or triple one, was adopted. The cost of building the .presaut Loni don bridge was $12,800,000. It was ■ opened cm the Ist of August, 1831, by • King William IV Quet u Adelaide. i The first stone was laid by the Duke of ! York on the 12th of June, 1825.

It would appear that Madagascar, under the new influences, is rapidly falling back into its old ways. It is reported that six members of a trading caravan (among them were three Englishmen) were massacred on their way from the capital to Ambohipiami. The properties of coal in the production of gas were known by the ancients and practically used by that wonderful people the Chinese, but it was not until 1792 that a gasometer and an apparatus for the manufacture were erected by the inventor, Mr, W.
