Out of 100,000 people who cross th$ Atlantic from New York to Liverpool

the loss of life is not as great; as among j

100,000 who travel between New York and Pittsburgh by rail. It was Wanamaker himself who once wrote an advertisement reading : " We have striped women's stockings at 15 cents a pair." This was the beginning of a great man's business career. M. Quesnat de Beaubepaire, the new French procurer general, is 42 years old, ambitions and active. He entered the profession in 1866, and in 1870 he entered a corps of mobiles as a volunteer. The British divorce returns for thirty years, ending in 1887, show that there were 10,561 petitions for divorce or dissolution of marriage, of which 7,321 were successful. The increase since 1881 is gradual. Superintendent Ireland says that while some of the vicious dogs in the 'Philadelphia Kennel Club show were ugly when men attempted to pat them, the touch of a woman's hand was welcomed by the most savage brute.WOiLIam H. Harrison, a Haddonfield, N. J., grocer, dreamed a night or two ago that money was concealed in an ancient house near the store. He investigated and found $1.50 in continental currency tiack of an old mantelpiece. In the town of Bessbrook, Ireland, where John G. Bicbardson employs 3,000 people in the manufacture of Irish linen, no liquor has been sold for forty years, and as a result there is neither policeman, prison, pawnshop, nor pauper in the town. Soke 250 residents of the town of Somerville, Mass., are petitioning the railroad commissioners to have the blowing c f locomotive whistles at various crossings stopped. The railroad is willing, bnt under the law has no authority to take the initiative. The Constitution says that a negro .who was giving evidence in a Georgia conrt was reminded by the judge that li was to tell the whole truth, "Well,

Fifty years or more ago P. T. Barnum was the editor of a paper in Danbury, Conn. He ont and slashed the corrupt officials so savagely that he was arrested and Lodged in jail. The other day the old jail was torn down, and the public in appreciation of the old editor, had a handsome cane made from one of the rafters and presented to Barnum as a memento of the period. A novel branch of learning has been introduced into the higher grades of thp public schools of New Haven. It cob sists of a bulletin board, upon which ar j pasted each day clippings of important home and foreign news taken from the newspapers. Special attention is given to matters brought op in connection with the study of history or geography. The pupils take a great interest in the "bulletin,'' and vie with one another in bringing the greatest number of iten i which are suitable to be pasted. M I. II An exchange tells us that Georga Brancroft is very particular to removo his gloves before shaking hands,, whether at a simple "call" or a ohanci meeting on the street. Victor Hugi would never kiss a lady's gloved hand, and if the hand were offered with the glove on the aged poet very coolly unfastened the glove and found the desired place. Ladies knowing his adherence to the tenets of a past generation took the precaution, when going to pay their respects to the poet, to wear loose gauntlet gloves. Me. Wanamaker loses no time during these frequent railway journeys between Philadelphia and Washington. He and his private secretary, Mr. Jones, always occupy a state-room shut off from the rest of the car. A sachel full of mail is brought along when they leave on Saturday afternoon, and during the three hours' run to Philadelphia replies are dictated. When they start back on Monday morning Mr. Wanamaker spends some time in looking over the newspapers, which he does not see on Sunday, and then he plunges again into the endless task of answering his mail. A day or two ago several men from the electric light station dug a hole for an electric light pole opposite one of tlie finest residences on Summer street, in Maiden, says the Boston Journal. The owner in the meantime secured a man and told him to go up into the woods and dig the first tree he could find, and hurry back and plant it where the hole for the electric pole was. Before the men commenced to raise the electric pole the owner of the residence invited them to come into his cellar and take a drink, which they all did. There the owner detained them long enough to allow the man sent for the tree to come back and plant it. The others did not dare to remove the tree, so they put the pole into their wagon and drove off.

bow It Haip'iiml That Uo ISecume a J. W. Watson, of New York, contributes this interesting reminiscence of Artemus Ward to the North American Review. About thirty years ago there was a paper published in this city by several brothers named Stephens, call Vanity Fair, having for contributors such men as Thackeray, Fitz-James O'Brien, Getfrge Arnold, Henry Stanley, and, in fact, all the literary talent of the countty, with ediVrs such as Charles G. Leland, Henry Glapp.and Frank Wood; and yet it was plain that the public did not want it, and it was about to give up the ghost, when the puplishers consulted me as to what they should do. My advice was to get an editor who was well known for his comic proclivities, and advertise him as connected with the paper, and I declared that there were only two men in the whole country that filled the bill John G. Saxe and Arte-

! mus Ward, whose real name I did not

then know, I knew that Saxe could not be had, as he was a candidate for Governor of Vermont ; therefore the publishers empowered me to correspond with Artemus and offer him $30 per week and traveling expenses to come to New York as the new editor. The response was immediate acceptance, and $25 and two weeks' salary were forwarded he afterward told me the offer was a godsend, as he was getting but $10 a week on the Cleveland Plaindealer, as a reporter and in a few days Browne arrived in New York and assumed the chair. The paper languished on for a few months, and then went the way of all funy papers. One day, when this had happened, I was walking up Broadway and regretting the result, for I had become very much "attached to Browne. He was talking about going back to Cleveland and resuming his old position, when I suggested to him that he try lecturing. At tliis he laughed, declaring himself totally unfit, not being able to speak in public at all, and having no subject. I insisted, and gave him, as a subject, "Ghosts," New York at the time being very much exercised over a foolish humbug got up in the newspapers and called " The Twenty-seventh Street Ghost." Before we parted Artemus had promised to write such a lecture and to meet a knot of literary and artist friends the next evening at Pf all's, on Broadway, near Bleeker street, a noted restaurant and resort of Bohemians, and read what he had written. He came with about half his effort, and for three-quarters of an hour the party was literally, ,in an uproar. He called it "A Lect.ure About Ghosts," and no

; small part of the fun was that there was

not a word about ghosts in it. The next day he finished it, and then the question was to bring it out. I knew an actor, and sometimes manager, by the name of De Waldeu, then part of the old Wallack company, who had soma money, and I managed to get him interested. He took Niblo's saloon, now the dining-room of the Metripolitan Hotel, for one night, with the privilege of six. The first night, with the help of the press, who were all friends of Artemus, was a triumph, and he ran the week, clearing for himself and his manager, $4,200. From that time Lis lecturing was a grand success, and, while Artemus was more than liberal, he saved money, or, rather, he made it oo fast that he could not help its accumulating in his his hands. He died worth almost 100,000, of which he left the income to his aged mother, and, after her death, to found an asvlum for old and disabled printers, to which craft he originally belonged. Best Trees for Windbreaks. Discard evergreens with tendency to lose their lower branches, or become defoliated by disease. Balsam fir is proverbially an open grower, under the most favorable conditions. Hemlock spruce whips badly with the wind so much in many situations as to present a thin and open head. Here are two native trees, beautiful when young, and presumably well adapted for windbreaks, owing to their nothern habitat, but they should be rejected. White pines, as a rule, are not compact in growth, but are hardy, rapid in development and eminently handsome. They are superior to Austrian and Scotch pines, owing to comparative exemption from the fungal diseases which are destroying the latter in many localities. Although in favor of our own native trees as a rule, the remarkable success of Norway Spruce placets it at the head of the list for windbreak. The red pine (Pinus resinosa) when better known may prove one of the most valuable trees for screens, but more experience with it is advisable. Deciduous trees for the purpose are undesirable. In winter, when protection is most needed, the cold northwesters whistle through their rare branches to the detriment of house, orchard, and stock. European larch, a prominent forest tree abroad, is practically useless here, for although a member of the coniferto it is deciduous. Too much stress is laid on the views and

expeaiences of our transatlantic foresters; we must think and aet on our own responsibility, and according to our needs. New York Tribune.

A Powerful Warship. In reply to numerous inquiries in regard to the size and armament of war vessels of the United States, it can be said that the largest and most powerful war vessel now building for the United States navy is the armored battJe-sliip Maine. Her dimensions are: Lengh, 310 feet; extreme breadth, 57 feet, mean draught, 21 feet 6 inches. The "displacement" of the Maine will be 6,648 tons, and her mean indicated horse-power designated at 9,000. She will be propelled by twin screws, the engines being of the tripple-expansion type. The thickness of her armor will be eleven iuches. The batttery of the Maine will consist of four ten-inch breech-loading rifles and six six-inch breech-loading rifles, besides which they will carry a secondary battery made up of rapidfiring guns, Hotchkiss revolving cannon, and gattlings. With a speed of from nineteen to twenty knots per hour, and armed with one of the most effective typos of guns in the world, she will be,

when completed me of the most powerwarships afloat. The Baltimore and Newark cruisers are 815 feet in length, but they cannot be compared with the Maine as fighting ships. The armored battle-ship, Texas, will carry two twelve-inch lilies, but in her whole make-up ahe is not as strong as the Maine. The coast defence vessel will carry the heaviest gun afloat, but in dimensions she U not &s large as the. Maine. How a ttirl Beads a Kovel. The average girl does not read for the purpose of gathering information, but simply to put in the tima, or for the sake of the excitement afforded by the story. Strange as it may seem the average woman likes to have her heart torn, her passions aroused, and the fountain of her tears broken up. She doesn't care specially for gore, but of tears she never grows tired. Not long since a well dressed school girl of not more than sixteen summers took a front seat in the front row of the

parquet in the opera house, and at once opened a paper book novel, the flashy outside of which suggested flashy contents. Turning to her girl companion she said : "When the good part comes let me know," and then she went on with her story, iaying no attention whatever to tho stage. Whenever her companion laughed out loud she would ask her what it was. take a peep at the stage, and go on with her reading. Occasionally her face showed signs of scornful feelings, then a smile of satisfaction played around her mouth, and ever and anon a dainty handkerchief cleared her mist-dimmed eyes. Bang! went a gun on the stage. "Wow," screeched the girl, jumping to her fet, clutching at her companion, and almost falling over the rope into the orchestra. The audience roared and the comedian came out and bowed his thanks. The girl put away her book, readjusted her hat, pulled her wrap around her shoulders, and suggested to the other that they go home. "But I want to see the play out," she said. 0, there ain't nothing in it. Let's go home and read the story; it's a dandy." -You go and I'll stay." "Yes, but papa wouldn't like it; besides, I'm afraid to go alone.' "Well, if I must I must;,1' and she went reluctantly. Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette. Whose Ofcl Bald-Headed Grandfather Are You? A 4-year-old miss created a good deal of consternation, not unmixed with amusement, in a small social circle up town. She had been on a visit to her grandfather, and while there, was in the habit of playing with him as he lay, half asleep, on the sofa. One day as her chubby lingers glided caressingly over the old gentleman's scant locks, he murmured, drowsily, in reply to some infantile remark: "Yes. I'm your poor old bald-headed grandfather." One evening not long afterward, a young-old bachelor was making a call on the family, toward a certain member of which, only 18 and decidedly pretty, heincliued with very tetder feelings. Into the pleasant circle where the bachelor sat flashing bright nothings of so ciety talk entered the 4-yea:r-old. Unseen by the gentleman sh sauntered around the room inspecting him, and gazed with especial interest on his polished scalp which gleamed in the light of the chandelier. Suddenly, with j. burst of ingenuous sociability, she said : "Whose poor old bald-headed grandfather are you?" 'Exchange. Just From Iowa. A tall man, with a weather-beaten face and long red chin whiskers, and wearing a battered slouch hat, reddish boots, and a heavy gray overcoat, was observed by our reporter, pa.cing nervously up and down in front of a prominent bar-room of Lamont street. Beckoning our reporter to come forward, he whispered: "Straager, kin Itrustyo? Upon being answered in the affirmative, he again inquired: "What's in them bottles?" "Oh, whisky, brandy, anything you want." "Da'st I go in there?" "Why, certainly." Bound at the back door? "No, just walk in and call for what you want." Extending his right hand, he exclaimed: " Parch) er, I am jest from Iowa, and haven't had a square drink in seven years.

A "Copper Syndic )ten Sufferer Report has it that B iron Alphonse de Rothcliild has lost about 3,000,000 sterling over the breakdown of the copper syndicate. He can view the loss with comparative equnimity, for he has managed to considerably ir crease the paltry 10,000,000 which he inherited from his father. Altogether the Roth 3clrilds are worth something over 100,000,000, and there is a family compact in existence bv which thev are bound to stand by one another. It is reported among those who should know that

nothing but the streuuous exertion of the personal influence of Alfred de Rothschild prevented the English branch of the family firm from following the lead of Baron Alphonse. London Life. Much Obliged. "Madam," said the Woodward avenue grocer to a lady who drove up in a carriage yesterday, "On the 22d of January last you called ard inquired if we had

Are American ITomea Cleverer Then Hen i Junius; Henri Bpowne(with the e) is of the opinion thai; women arts cleverer than men. In his opinion th character of a man may, l ike-the character of a people, be judged by his own estimation of a woman. Tl.e lower he is in the scale of humanity, the 183 he amounts to as an individual, the jxtorer is apt to be his opinion oi her. An inferior man is apt to speak of women patronizingly, if not slightingly, as members of the softer or weaker sex Ho admits that their hearts and intentions are good, intimating that their minds and acts will not oear scrutinizing. Bat a man of intellect and insight, capable of understanding and sympathizing with women, will seldom accept ueh judgment. Ho is qualified to appreciate them mentally; to eee that they ar often cleverer than himself ; and that their instincts are correcter, their perceptions clearer, their intelligence (pucker. This seems to be true, surely, of American women, who Lave many advantages that women of other nationalities do not have. They ate treated with far more consideration and chivalry and held in much higher regard than their trans-Atl&ntia sister. Europeans think they are spoiled by their brothers, husbands, fathers; but Uiey show their spoiling in very creditable ways in individuality, in independence, in poise of iMiture. A common foreign criticism is that they are superior to their countrymen, particularly in agieeableness, in the faculty of boiniy inteiesting, in whatever thing pertaias to manners and &0'.;ial culture. The reason may be fc:iat they have opportunities for development and improvement denied to cur men, who are immersed in business to the exclusion of everything else. Tl.e money that these make they lavish on wives and daughters, who are thus enabled to travel, to increase their knowledge and experience, to perfect the graces and enhance nheir personal charm. In this land, where w oman is not only respected, but honored and revered as she is nowhere else, she is rarely, ii ever, dull albeit the same may not be said of men. She is clever by right of birth and by reason of her sex clever by inheritance, by association, by custom, by recognition and by preferment. Man really -concedes this, whatever his assumption, by engaging hex, when he has fsdlen into difficulties from which he cannot extricata himself, as his deliverer. Indeed, sha is altogether tco clever to be a man, even if she could. Cleverness is her inborn prerogative. Detroit Free Press. Death to tho Carpet Bug. Where carpe ts are used end only taken up once a year at "house-clean-in g,w the conditions are very favorable for the carpet bu2;'s increase, particularly where the house-cleaning is hurriedly ar.d carelessly done When a house has once become infested nothing but the most energetic .measures will completely rid it of the pest, and in complete riddance is the only hope, as in a very few individuals will so increase as to do great damage. At house-cleaning time, then, as many rooms should be ba red at once as possible, and the housekeeper should go carefully over the rooms, removing all dust, and with a hand-atomizer charged with benzine should pu;ff the liquid into all the floor cracks and under the base-boards until everv crevice has been reached. The carpels themselves, after thorough beating, should be lightly sprayed with the same substance, which will quickly evaporate, leaving n3 odor after a short time. The inflammability pf benzine should be remembered, however, and no light-

brought near it. This done, before re- j

laying the carpets, it will be well to pour into the cracks with a moderately, thick mixture of plaster of pans and water, which soon sets and lills them with

a solid substance into which the insects ; will not enter. Tlaen lay around the borders oi the room a width of tarred

roofing-paper and afterward relay the carpets. This thorough treatment should answer in the very wo:rst cases, and in a lioufse so cleaned the insect will probably not regain a foothold during the ensiung year. Cloth-covered fumitpre which may have also become infested should be steamed or also treated with benzine, and chests or drawers hi which infested clothing has been stored shoidd bo thoroughly sprayed. Another method, of treatment consists in Laying a damp cloth, (an old isowel or a folded sheet will do) smoothly over the suspected part of the carpet, and ironing it with a hot iron. Tho steam thus generated "will pass through the carpet and kill ad the insects immediately beneath. If not too laborious, an entire room could be treated to advantage in this way. Good Housekeeping.

A Plutocrat's CoiJe. With no more than $i!,00G twenty j'ears ago John D. Rockefeller lias built a fortune of at least $100,000,000. His clivi lends amount to $500,000 a month, or $16,666. 66 every day. !leing a man of simple tastes anl small personal expenditures, he is called upon to do considerable thinking to properly invest the gold that ilows night and day, year in and year out, into his bursting treasury. He holds, to use a. judicial expression,

that so long as a man is in health it is his j duty to accumulate properly. No mat- I

ter if he has more money than he knows what to do with, he should remain in business and get as much more as his capacity and opportunities will permit. But he shculd spend it wisely and for the benefit of those who are in need of it. He should bui ld churches, educate young mer. for the ministry and rear colleges. Moreover, he should be a friend to the poor, bub in no case should he retire o:i a fortune, no matter how magnificent, as long as he is in health, vad thus permit some other man to take die place God intended him to occupy. Such, in brief, is the moral and fiuancial code of one of the richest men in the world. Ohio State Journal
