FACTS IN FEW LINKS

The fashionable age now for marriage Is from twenty-seven to thirtytwo for women, from thirty to fortyfive for men. The redaction works at Canso, Nova Scotia, handled 1,300 tons of dogfish last year and produced therefrom 9.000 gallons of fish oil, besides 200 tons of fish scrap, which makes a good fertilizer. Mr. Beville Stanier of Feplow Hall, Shropshire, England, who bought the Hawkins collection of British birds re cently, sold the Sheffield specimen of the great auk which it contained for $2,000. The colonial secretary of the Bahamas states In his report of the islands for 1903-00 that no complaint of error or delay has been received, by the telegraph department for fourteen years. The cultivation of rubber is now being taught in the schools of west Africa. Every village is obliged to plant a certain number of acres in rubber trees. In the Kongo state 12,500,000 rubber trees have been planted. A farmer at Winburg, Orange River Colony, alleges that In his district alone 24,000 sheep are stolen annually by the natives. On this basis he calculates that 300,000 sheep are stolen throughout the colony every year. The first secretary of the Chinese legation in St. Petersburg remarked the other day that the Chinese government has a stronger hold on its people than the Russian has on its own and that the Chinese people are less cultivated and more oppressed. The oldest Christian structure in Ireland is a remarkable building, evidently very ancient, but wonderfully well preserved, at Dingle, tn County Kerry. It is known as "the oratory of Gallerus" and has stood practically uninjured for more than 1,000 years. Jerusalem now has a summer resort at Ramalah. which is situated several hundred feet higher and commands a view of the Mediterranean. A new hotel has been built there for Europeans by an Arab. Most of the work of construction was done by women, whose wages are 11 cents a day. The public will be surprised to learn that the Englishman apparently hasn't absolute freedom In the choice of the name of his own child. An unfortunate father, registering his baby girl, told the registrar the name was Coralle, and he was astonished when he met a refusal on the ground that there is no such name as Coralie. He was com pelled to choose another name. The youngest lawyer that ever ap peared before the supreme court of the United States the other day argued in favor of the constitutionality of the North Carolina statute prohibiting the running of "bucket shops" In that state.

Franz Josef, the emperor of Austria, has a fad for collecting menu cards, and as bis stock is contributed to by other monarchs it is a truly wonderful one.

Although the population of the Unit ed Kingdom increased by 2,000,000 during the last six years, there has been a decline of nearly 2,500,000 barrels In tDe consumption ofbeer.

It Is proposed by a German engineer to use balloons for railway purposes. A stationary balloon is fixed to a slide running along a single steel rail. This rail is carried up the side of a steep mountain. The balloon is moored by a steel cable to the rail at a height of about thirty-five feet above the ground. The conductor can cause the balloon to ascend or descend at will. The lifting power is furnished by hydrogen gas, and the descent Is caused by water pressure poured into a large tank at the upper end of the road. H. G. Wells, the popular author, has had a varied career. His father was professional bowler for Kent for many years and the only man. who has ever bowled five wickets with successive balls in a first class match. This Is a subject for justifiable' boasting with his talented son. H. G. Wells works In a room that is fitted with electric apparatus for light and heat. Swift was his chief source of inspiration when a youth. Sterne is the most profitable English master. In his opinion, for a novelist to study, and as a thinker Schopenhauer has Impressed him more profoundly than any other. Were Five Accessions. Fountain City, Ind., Jan. 7.

The police made 4,430 arrests of which 1,493 were for intoxication. Terre Haute, in the past, has boasted of the larger number of arrests and the larger number number of persons sent to the penitentiary per capita than from other cities in the state, but since the state authorities and newspapers outside Terre Haute have been calling attention to the signifi cance of the large number of arrests and of the arrest of fugitives from oth-: er cities, Terre Haute is not "putting that foot forward" as promptly as it formerly did.

There is a Paris newspaper which is an organ for beggars. One of the advertisements of business opportunities offers "good situation in a very popular winter resort for a or armed man or preferably a man with no arms. References given and required. Cash deposit also required." PITH AND POINT. Many a good man eats with his knife. Private life is like a secret there is no such thing. The hardest critics are usually those who can't do very much themselves. A ten dollar a day man never earns the money In the opinion of the man who draws only $1. There are times when we all envy a baby who can give vent to its feelings by throwing Itself on Its back and klckiQg and screaming. There may be nothing In luck, but not having any seems to represent many a minus quantity. It Is hard work to find fault with some - people,-because they actually thrust their faults upon you until they amount to an. inundation.

It has today eijht patrons, proud young fellows, who are office boys, messengers and the like throughout New York, and there is room for fix more. For these six vacancies there are so many applications that at the outset it Is realized that a larger establishment must be found, and for such a place there is a search being made. There Is nothing of charity alnjut tho establishment. Each one pays according to his means, and that gives him the privilege of having his own room, his own possessions, with only the restrictions of good conduct and good order to continue him on the hotel register. Miss Froudfoot is the niece of th late Mrs. Mary Laidlaw, who during her life devoted much of her means to the helping of boys. She established the Eighth Ward mission, . where the youngsters were educated and trained, and after her death Miss Proudfoot continued the work. Each year there come from orphanages and asylums an army of boys to New York. These range from twelve to fourteen years of age, and they go to work at a wage, that would not average more than $3, if that. Tbej must live somewhere, and usually they go to a corner of a tenement room. This kind of boys are welcomed at the Boys' hotel. Each is expected to put a certain amount into the household fund, and It does not matter bow small It is. He is allowed to keep enough of his wages to cover necessary expense and a UtUe In addition for incidentals. Autumn Appreciation-.
