INTERESTING FACTS PRESENTED IN BRIEF AND POPULAR FORM

A

View of th« Proposed Bride® Across the Engllftli Channel as It Will Appear After Completion Japan'" Cnrioo* Dwarf Tree*. Tbeaccompanying cu^arepriut fromLfl Nature, represents a view of J-he bridge acrosa the English channel as it will appear after completion.

&s£e*>is.

THK ENGLISH CHANNEL BRIDGE. The proposed bridge will start from near Folkestone, in England, and cross to a point near the port of Arnbleteusc, on the French coast. The total length will be about twen-ty-four miles. The piers, of which there will be about 125, will be of solid masonry, and will be builfc near tbe shore in caissons, and then floated out into the channel and sunk in their projxn' places. They will project GO feet above low water, and on them will rest the steel cylindrical columns, 120 feet in height, which support the superstructure of the bridge, making a clear height of 180 feetabove tbo water, and allowing ample room for vessels with the highest masts to pass freely beneath. The construction and placing of each pier is estimated to take about a year, although, of course, an indefinite number can bo constructed at the samo time.

The length of the span will vary, but the widest will consist alternately of 900 and 1,500 feet, each span of the bridge (as shown in the engraving) renting upon two piers. The narrowest span will be 300 feet. Over a million tons of inotal will be used in the work, and the cost is estimated at from $175, 000,000 to 1200,000,000. About ten years will be required to complete it.

The commercial and political importance of this bridge, which would give Great Britain direct and unbroken railroad communication with all parts of the eastern hemisphere,.can hardly lo overestimated. Mr, Gladstone ia reported to have said that "by either the tunnel or tho bridge the peace of the world is assured."

Wasted Power.

Investigation recently made in a number of largo manufacturing concerns, to determine what amount of tho power developed by steam was used and how much was wasted, have brought out somo astonishing facts. In one establishment the per cent, wasted was 65 and in another 73 while in another eleventwelfths of the 00 horse power, indicated as developed by the engine, was wasted in friction and useless work, leaving ouly five horse power to be utilized in manufacturing purposes. The cost of fuel is a sorious item in most kinds of manufacturing, and Stationary Engineer, therefore, suggests that it would bo well worth the timo of the owners bo start a little) investigation as to what becomes of the power they pay for. It is also thought that these facte furnish at least a partial explanation, so far as concerns manufacturing by steam, of the statistical chestnut, which may bo correct in the main, that out of every hundred men engaging in business but three are successful.

To Fasten Letter* on »la*n.

For fastening glass letters, figures, etc., on glass (show windows), so that they, even when submerged in water for several days, will uot become detached, use an India rubber cement. The best for this purpose, says The Jewelers' Circular, consists of one part India rubber, three parts mastic and fifty ports chloroform. Let the mixture stand for several days in low temperature, to dissolve the cement. It must be applied very rapidly, as it becomes thick vefy soon.

Solution for Removing Ink or Bust. A solution for easily removing ink and rust status, bearing tho trade name of "encrivoir," is said by a pharmaceutical journal to consist of ten parts each of tartaric acid alum and distilled water.

Japanese Dwarf Trees.

In one corner of the lah Faris exposition was a remarkable exhibit from Tokio, consisting of plants two feet in height or less, and growing in porcelain vases. Those were miniature and jwrfectly proportioned trees of various species, some of them, according to the labels, Iwing 100 and 150 years old. Those dwarfs nro the results of careful culture and training. At an early age they are planted in small pots, and the upward growth is interrupted continually and is forced to grow horizontally, spirally, and oven downwards, being secured in thee© uuuatural positions by strings and sticks which become very numerous in course of time.

Among these curious plants on exhibition in Paris may be inentioued an SO-yoar-old maple which is 90 inches high a 10-year-old, 13 inchtw, and a group of rotinosporas 80 years old and 8 to 12 inches high. If allowed to grow freely, they would have attained a height of about 10 feet Some of tbe pines were 150 years old, and the oldest was bat 34 inches high.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Annie Laurie—She Was a Beat Person is Scotland. Nearly everybody who sings has snng or certainly they have heard sung that beautiful ballad of "Annie Laurie." It is doubly interesting to any one who has spent a few days in the region which the song has made immortal, and especially to one who has enjoyed the hospitality of the Laurie family at the Terregles tarm, in Maxweilton, near Dumfries. Annie Laurie was no myth. About 200 years ago Sir Robert Laurie, of Maxwellton, on the opposite side of the River Jtith, from Dumfries, Scotland, quaintly wrote in his family register these words: "At the pleasure of the Almighty God, my daughter, Annie Laurie, was bora on 16th day of December, 1682, about 6 o'clock in the morning, and was baptized by Mr. George Hunter, of Glencairne." Annie's mother was Jean Riddle, to whom Robert was married "Upon the 27th day of July, 1674, at the True Kirk, Edinburgh, by Mr. Annane," as was also recorded by her father himself. Posterity owes to Mr. William Douglas, of Fiugland, in Kirkcudbrightshire (who wooed but did not win the capricious Annie), the song of "Bonuie Annie Laurie," wherein he celebrated the beauty and transcendent perfection of the maid of Maxweilton.

Poetic justice would have required that Annie shoul have rewarded with her band the jxKit lover, who was determined to make her name immortal but, as it transpired, she 1 (referred another and a richer suitor, Mr. Alexander Ferguson, of Craigdarroch, and him she married. The William Douglas named is supposed to be the original of the song, "Willie was a Wanton Wag," and it is related of him that, after having been refused by Annie Laurie, he married Miss Elizabeth Clerk, of Glenboig, in Galloway, by whom he had a family of four sons and two daughters. Thus it is while the song of "Annie Laurie" lives from age to age the names of all concerned with the original of it survive in the recital of the romantic incidents connccted with its composition. The air of "Annie Laurie" familiar to our ears in these days is the composition of Lady John •Scott, authoress of both words and music of many songs which have become popular in Scotland. Her maiden name was Alicia Anne Spottisvvoode. She married in 1830 Lord John Douglas Scott, a son of the Duke of Buccleuch.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Stanley's Career.

In 1868 Stanley went to Abyssinia with tho British army. In 1870 he started to "find Livingston," anil found him on Nov. 10, 1871, at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika he returned to England in July, 1873. In November, 1874, he started to explore the lake regions of equatorial Africa he explored the Victoria Nyauza in February, 1875, and ftnwn the Congo to the Atlantic coast, hapflg Crossed Africa, in August, 1877. In 187& Stanley went back to Africa under tho auspices of the International African association to continue his exploration of the Congo river. He founded Leopoldvillo on Stauley pool, put steamers on the river and explored much of tho country. In 1882 he returned to Europe on sick leave in 1883 he went back to the Congo, and in 188-1 returned again to Europe, when the Congo Free State was fftunded, with Leopold, king of Belgium, as its sovereign. In 1887 Stanley went to relieve Emin Pasha. Ho went by way of Zanzibar to the Congo, and left Bolombo, nearly 800 miles up the river, on May 11, 1887, marching eastward. He made many discoveries, underwent much danger and many hardships, and at last found Erniu Pasha. After marching and countermarching thousands of miles horeached Bagnmoyo, near Zanzibar, oh Dec. 4. There Emin got hurt. Stanley is now on his way to Cairo, Egypt, where he will spend the winter. He said in a speech at Zanzibar that he should devote the rest of his life to Africa.

Named of Lakes.

The names of the great lakes of America are generally of Indian origin. The early discoverers of Ontario called it "St. Louis," and afterwards the early French called it "Lake Frontenac," alter the governor. The English, when they'first claimed'dominion, called it "Katarak^ui, or Ontario Mitchell called it ^CataiWau^aud Pownali tho same, but-the namoWOtiwri£" waajthw-oile always used. Huron yrtu§ nained^from fchedndiau tribe oil its shores when ,first discovered. From Homans, 1707, and De Mile, 1729, it received the alias of "MiahiRiin Hennepin, 1608, and Coxe, 1721, calfcd"It "Huron," or "Karegnondi Washington's journal, 1743, calls it "Quatogbi, or Huron." Lake Michigan, persistently called at first "Illinois," was called "Michigan" first by Seuer in 1744, since which time it has been generally known by that name. Champlain, the first topographer of Lake Superior, called it "Grand Lac." Tho wonderful Jesuit map called it "Tracy, or Superior." Coxe and Sener called it by an alias after the Sioux, or, as they were then called, Nadoussians, on its shores. Lake Erie received its name from theErieson its banks, nnd uniformly retained the name. The Eries were known as the Cat nation therefore some early writers call it "Felis" and "Du Chat." Sener called it "Cadaragua." Washington's journal, Mitchell and Pownali called It "Okswego."

The Ronetta Stone.

The key to tho interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics was first given through tho means of ho Rosetta stone, which was discovered in 1799, by M. Boussard, a French ofllccr of engineers during the French occupation of Egypt, iu an excavation made at Fort St. Julian, near Rosetta, on the Bolbitic branch of tho Nile, about four miles above tho mouth. Tho "stone" is a trilingual inscription in hieroglyphic, Roman and Greek. It is a black balsait, about 3 feet 7 inches in length and 2 feet 6 inches in width. It contains in its present state about one-third of tho hieroglyphics, and nearly all the Roman and Greek parts, tho upper part and portion of the side having been broken away.

The contents are a decree in honor of Ptolemy Epiphanes by tbe priests of Egypt, assembled in a synod at Memphis, on account of his remission of arrears of taxes and dues owed by the sacerdotal body. It was set up B. C. 195. and it is tbe only one of tbe numerous examples ordered to be placed which has been brought to lijjhfc. The stone was delivered up to tbe British on tbe capitulation of Alexander, and was taken to England in 1802 and placed in the British Museum.

A HALF HOUR'S PLEASANT READING FOR BOYS AND GIRL^I^

A Pretty Story in Which I* Told tlie History of the Bo»e of England—An Illustrated Account of the Cake and the

Slice. A lady writing for the special entertainment of "Our Little Men and Women" gives a pleasing account of the Rose of England. She says

In early times England was called "Albion," a word which means white because of its white cliffs. But the rose did not become the national flower of England until many years after the country was called Albion.

When Henry VI was king, a great trouble arose in the land. He was a good man, so good that he has been called the "saintly Henry." He belonged to the Lancaster branch of the royal family. And the other branch, which was the House of York, wished for the throne themselves.

The leaders of these two families met one day in the Temple Gardens at London, and disputed together. The leader of the House of York plucked a white rose from a rose bush and called upon all his friends to do the same. The leader of the House of Lancaster then plucked a red rose and asked the friends of that house to pluck a red rose also. So in the great wars that followed between these two branches of the royal family, those of the House of Lancaster woro the red rose for a badge, and those of the E use of York wore the white rose. These W.U are called in history the "Wars of the Roses." They lasted thirty years, and very many men were killed. Then a prince of the House of Lancaster married Elizabeth of York, and this marriage put an end to the wars.

There is a pretty story that, at the time of this marriage, a rosebush in Wiltshire, which had always borne white roses, put out roses of mingled white and red. However true that may be, there is a rose which grows in English gardens of mixed petals, white and red, and which is called the York and Lancaster rose.

And so the two roses have ever since been united in one, and make the double rose, which is called the Tudor rose, It is carved upen royal palaces and tombs.

This prince of the House of Lancaster who married Elizabeth of York was Henry VII. Ho built a beautiful chapel at Westminster Abbey, in which he and his wife were buried. There may be seen tho rose carved all over its walls and on its doors, and also upon the monument under which they lie.

How to Study Natural History. A writer in Wide Awake suggests to youthful readers desirous of studying natural history that they begin with their own dog—if they have one. Study his face note the things which you say to him at which he is alert note the occurrences in which he seems to have thought, reflected, reasoued and planned. Remember, however, that these domestic creatures, which are made much of and treated with consideration, are found to manifest the most intelligence.

Miss Mitford, who was fond of animals, and had a great many'greyhounds and otter dogs, tells interesting things about their ways. Her ''Dash"ffi|Ud sit gravely while having his picture tafen, and occasionally would rise and peep at it, as if to see how it was getting on, but in a stealthy way, as if afraid of being thought intrusive or impatient that it took so long? and she wrote about the dog who knew when it was Saturday on that day he was allowed to go with bis master to the beach, and that was the only day on which he refrained from going np to her room in the morning, clearly through fear that if he did so he might be left behind. She said that Landseer's "Neptune," a. Newfoundland, would, while being painted, maintain his posture as long as his master kept his palette in his hand, however long that might be, but the moment it £*as laid down he would be off, and would sit no more that day. What think you of the "brains" of these dogs?

Awful Story.

There was once an awful little girl who had an "awful" to everything. She lived in an awful house, in an awful village, which was an awful distance from every other awful place. She went to an awful school, where she bad an awful teacher, who gave her awful lessons out of awful books. Every day she was so awful hungry that she ate an awful amotmt of food, so that she looked awful healthy. Her hat was awful small, and her feet were awful large. When she took an awful walk die climbed awful bills, and when she got awful tired shfe sat down under an awful tree to rest herself. In summer she was awful hot, and in winter awful cold. When it didn't rain there was an awful drought, and when tbe awful drought was over there was an awful rain. If this little girl doesn't get rid of this vulgar way of saying "awful" about everything, I am afraid sbe will come to an awful end.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

A New and Fascinating Nerve Tonic and the Danger Attending Its Abase. Antipyrine is a recent addition to the numier of those drugs which, properly used, are _f benefit in combating the various ills of he flesh, but which are capable of being perrerted into a curse to humanity. And now, just as it is beaming well known as a tonic of gentle and soothing influence upon overstrained nerves, a note of warning is sounded against its abuse, which places it on the list with morphine, chloral, cocaine and similar seductive drugs. Its victims are already found, especially among society women, whose nerves, strung up to a high pitch by the overwhelming demands of a winter season of gayety, seize eagerly upon anything that will afford relief from the headaches and other disorders arising from prolonged fatigue and overtired nerves. So pleasing is the effect, that it is soon used for every trifling ill feeling, until the patient finds herself unable to live without it, and the fascinating "antipyrine habit" is formed. Properly used as a nerve tonic, its effects are admirable, but abused, the victim becomes even more hopelessly entangled than the -morphine or cocaine victim. The effects vary with the dose. In large doses it produces complete relaxation with loss of reflex action. In moderate doses, continued, it induces convulsions. As a stimulant its effect i3 much like that of quiuine.

Causes and Symptoms of Influenza. Of the causes of influenza one of London's most eminent doctors says that it is difficult Ut give any decided opinion. Predisposition, of course, has much to do with it. A person is just as liable to be affected with it if his employment be indoors as if it were out of floors. The majority of authorities consider that1it has no connection with atmospheric conditions, although it is decidedly most prevalent dbring violent changes of temperature and in foggy, damp weather. Yet, strange to say, it also prevails in countrios where hot, dry weather is the rule, as in Egypt and other tropical climates. Little is known of the exciting causes. It is believed to be contagious, yet quite often the surgeons, nurses and room mates of a patient remain wholly unaffected.

The symptoms in the e*rly stages, according to this physician, very closely resemble those of ah ordinary cold or nasal catarrh. It begins with a decided chill, general uneasiness, alternating chills and heats and considerable fever. The pulse is variable, it may be full or moderately accelerated, from ninety to one hundred beats a minute, or it may be small and weak. The mucous membrane and respiratory organs are Orst affected, but the digestive organs frequently suffer also. Just as in the ordina.% cold in the head, there are the uncontroluiblo teal's, the running from tho nose, followed by sore throat, difficulty of swallowing, hoarseness, cough, burning, tickling sensation in the throat, nervous depression, with paiued expression of the face. The first and most liable persons to bo affected by influenza are women, meu come next in order of predisposition and children last. Weakly and nervous people are especially liable, and it is a curious fact that sometimes, when there is quite ait epidemic, children seem to be exempt. The mortality is slight, recovery being almost always certain. It may prove fatal to aged and delicate persons and young children. Vigorous age bears it well, but of course it is a most depressing and troublesome disorder.

The main points of the treatment are quiet, rest in bed, warmth, mild diaphoretics, good nursing, nourishment and then tonics. That is .to say, the. ordinary treatment for mild 'fev'fers.

The Nutmeg in Medieitie.

Br. J. O. Shoemaker tells in The Medical Bulletin of valuable medicinal properties of the nutmeg. It is useful in the treatment of summer diarrhoea, many cases yielding readily to doses of half a drachm administered in milk. Insomnia is said to be effectually relieved by it, when opium has failed and chloral is objectionable. In delirium tremens it can bo employed with safety and benefit when any other sedative would be dangerous.

Powdered nutmeg may be administered in doees of from two to ten grains for children, and from ten grains to two drachms for adults. Larger doses havo produced profound coma, lasting for hours.'

The Digestibility or Boiled Milk. Though the importance of sterilizing milk for bottle fed infants in cities has been proven beyond a doubt, the process seems to have some disadvantages. According to experiments and analysis made by Dr. Rod wits much less nitrogenous material is abstracted from boiled than from unboiled milk, and an infant must need a larger quantity of sterilized tban of raw milk.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Customary Usages in Entertaining a Small Theatre Party. For »theatre party of young people there is no very strict, formal etiquette to be observed. The entertainer can either assemble the guests at his or her own bouse, or may distribute tickets and meet the guests at the theatre. It is usual to give a dinner before the entertainment or a supper afterward. The theatre party preceded by a dinner is an elaborate and costly affair, indulged in only by the fortunate few, while the theatre party with an after supper is more of a popular institution, being less formal, less troublesome and less expensive.

In this instance, when tbe party is given by a gentleman, it is in accordance with social etiquette forto call upon his anticipated guests and deliver invitations in person. After receiving an acceptance he leaves tickets, and the party meets at the theatre. If the invited guests do not keep carriages, the host may send them if be chooses, but this is not strict etiquette. In some instances a private omnibus is sent out to collect tho guests. After the amusement comes the supper, usually at a fashionable restaurant.

If tbe party is given by a lady the invitations are issued by informal notes in her own name,Bn!^ a dinner in her own home usually precedes the public entertainment. After the theatre die may invite her guests to a restaurant for light refreshment or to her own residence, where a dainty supper awaits tban. Party calls in tbe usnal manner follow this form of hospitality.

Use fill Point*.

Avoid using tbe prefixes "mias" or "mister" witboat the person's name. Only aa degree of intimacy makee it permissible to address a young lady as "in— Locy," "Miss Mary," etc., except when it is necessary to distinguish her from an elder sister.

A gentleman should not wear svercoat or ovarehoes into a drawing room, however brief ids calL

huuee Your Own Bread.

There is more of the element that we call happiness arising from the use of good bread than is credited to that source. If your husband's love can grow for you and for his home under the infliction of bad bread, then he is a great man, much greater than men in general

If you expect your children to be obedient, sweet and respectful in their accents and behavior, with sour bread fermenting in their little stomachs, you will be disappointed, unless they are very near to their angel state.

Two hours' service during the week in your kitchen, malang bread, if you will give it your whole heart and hands, will yield you a better return than many hours spent in borrowing trouble and looking on the dark side of life, and trying to think that the very darkest side is always turned toward you. Just try the experiment of working in flour, of watching the dough rise, of molding it into the symmetical small loaves, of peeping into the oven to see the rich brown laid over them, of the sight of the loaves when, done, and, better still, of the husband's exclamation, "Oh I what delicious bread!" and then eee if you do not feel .rewarded, even before you taste the snowy loaf. It will not hurt your hands to make bread, and it will cheer your heart.—New York Mail and Express.
