A vast Wme of superior fire clay has been discovered near Vincennes, Ind. A young seal, when in distress, utters a sound very much like that of a child. Skeletons and warlike relics have been found in a well at Sturgeon, Missouri. Tea will kill the bacilli of cholera in an hour. Rut the bacilli no not tackle tea. Fully 25 per cent, of all the champagne that is made is lost by the bursting bottles. To escape a whipping an cloven-year-old lad in Watertown. If. Y., committed suicide. Butter with a flavor of wine is produced bv a farmer in Chautauqua, N. Y. He "feeds his cows on grapes. Hard coal loses 8 per cent, in bulk per annum, when exposed to the weather. Soft coal loses 12 pet' cent. r It is an artist's sugestioi that a landscape rather than a single figure picture or portrait should rest on an easel. Wichita, Kan., has a cooking club whose members are taught seven ways to make a potato salad and ten ways to make custard. Conversation overheard between two women; “My dear, how old are you?” “Do you know, dear, that is' the only secret I was ever able to keep.” Somebody has invented a cradle which rocks itself and plays baby tunes at the same time. This will be a great help to poor, persecuted, overworked fathers. Pittsburg now claims the largest glass flattening oven in the world. This new oven will take a shoot 75 inches by 111 inches, or in narrow glass one of 30 inches by 131 inches. The.

Milwaukee is likely to be the next city in which the insurance rates will be raised. Within three months Milwaukee has had more large fires and sustained greater loss therefrom than during several years previous. The most terrific explosions on record were those at the eruption at the volcano of Ki akato'i in August, 1883. The furthest point at which this eruption was heard was the island of Rodriguez, 2,90S miles southwest. Chicago probably thinks all good fellers John D. Rockefeller is the best. If Chicago can work up a philanthropic rce be 1 veen the Rockefellers and Armours, there’s no telling how much money she might make out of it. New York burglars arc not looking for the nephews of the Bismarck* in the attic rooms of old-fashioobd houses over junk-shops. If Colonel Von Puttkcmer had explained who he was, no doubt tim burglar would have let him off easier. At present, it is stated, there are about 3,500,000 milch cows in the British isles, and the average cow yields some four hundred gallons ‘ of milk during the course o: a year. Altogether some 1,400,000,000 gallons are produced in the United Kingdom annually. Chicken raising is a profitable and important Kansas industry. Five, tons of poultry wore shipped or. onetrain from Newton for Denver or. Christmas woe 1 .;, and another town, -in Nemaha county, sends two carloads of poultry every mouth to San Francisco. What is said to bo the largest; gas holder in the world has just been completed for the gas company at East Greenwich. England. The holder is 300 feet in diameter, and when fully inflated is 180 feet high. The floating vessel of the holder weighs 1,300 tons, and. the capacity of the arrangement is 12,000,000 cubic feet. A Massachusetts court’s sentence of a burglar to a half century’s imprisonment is. not as hard , as it seems, for in all probability tile man will never serve half of hidden tence. A much harder sentence was pronounced upon a murderer recently by a German court —fourteen years at hard labor, and at the end of that time to be executed. In Germany murderers are rarely pardoned.
