THK Church of Kngland Bible Society
sas just celebrated its eighty-sixth
Mrthda.v, and issued a French version
the New Testament in which there
ire exactly eighty-six errors.
IT is rumored in Europet hat Bismarck
IK resolved upon actiopposition to the
government, of his successor, in the in
erest of the Germany which he created,
ind by way of revenging himself for his
lownfall.
TEN million young white fish from
he Government hatchory have been
alaced in Lake Superior this season
ind 15,01)0,000 more are to follow. About
1,000,000 of the whole deposit will prob
tbly survive, maturing in four years.
THK gold product, of the United States
in 1889 was of the value of S^.'.S'iO.OOO,
ind the silver product $40,750,000, or to
gether about $70,000,000. During1 thft

CIIICAOO, Cincinnati and half a dozen
»ther northern cities are setting up in
tho manufacture of artificial ice, and it
is predicted that within five years more
than half the ice used in the north will
be made that way. The artificial is
surer, better, easier handled and can bo
xiado at loss cost.
COUNT AIMK, of Yeddo, a young Ja
panese of noble birth, was recently
baptized at Ellsdorf, Germany, and re
aounced his name, title and nationality.
Ho will now assume the title of Herr
,"!urt. The reason assigned for this is
hat he was in love with a young wom
»n, who induced him to make the
ihango.
THK average weight, of the mala adult
Is 1150 pounds of women about 110
pounds. The average height of the
American is about 5 feet 9 inches. The
tverago bight of all English speaking
nations is about the same as above of
women, 5 feet 4 inches. One inch of
height adds two poundsof weight on the
iverage, especially from 5 feet 2 up to
the general average.
GOVKUNOK Bn KM I of Kentucky,
luggests a remedy for the lawlessness
which threatens the courts of justices in
two counties of the State, lie says the
presence of State troops would afford
jnly temporary relief, and recommends
legislative authority for the local organ
ization of law-abiding citizens. There is
assurance that good citizens would act if
empowered to do so.
I* a letter to the Independence Beige,
Stanley describes the dwarf tribe of the
forest. He says they are the oldest ar
istocracy in the world, with institutions
iating back fifty centuries. They are
ruled by a Queen, a beautiful, charming
little woman, who was exceptionally
kind to Stanley and his comrades. The
dwarfs are of olive complexion, remark
ably intelligent, ingenious artificers in
iron and ivory, and probably the only
monogamous race in Africa.
THK case of Mrs. Bloomer is a singu
lar example of persistency and false
hood. That, lady has several times
written to the newspapers declaring
that she did not invent the female
trousers that bear her name. Yet the
Celebration of her golden wedding
causes the old statement to be repeated
from one end of the land to another. It
is always to be the case that a lie will
travel seven leagues while tbe truth is
putting on its bo.ds.
PHOK. TVM.AI.1, has described various
ways of producing artificial rainbows by
means of electric light and artificial
mist, the bows themselves being almost,
If not wholly, circular in form. l)r.
Fleming and others recently witnessed
a natural rainbow of circular form from
the summit of Glydr-Vach, Wales.
Standing on the pinnacle and looking
Into the valley where lies tho lakelet,
Idyn Idwal, the spectators saw their
shadows projected on the mist, and sur
rounding the head of oach were two con
Centric rainbows, completely circular.
ATTENTION has recently been called to
or.e of the greatest novelties in the con
struction of street railroads. Glass
Jluckill
leepers, introduced by Mr. Lindsay
and Mr. W. Siemen, of Dresden,
have been tried with such satisfaction
that it is now proposed to make broad,
longitudinal sleepers of glass, having a
groove in the upper surface, and so com
bining in themselves the functions of
both sleepers and rails. This would do
away with the necessity for separate
iron rails, with their fastenings and
other complication#.

THK credit of originating the idea ol
Arbor Day is due to Hon. ,1. Sterling
Morton, who introduced it when he was
Governor of Nebraska, nineteen years
ago. Since then it has become anestab
lished institution in that State, and
millions of trees are now flourishing in
w hat was once a treeless region. Thirty
eight other States and Territories are
said to have adopted the idea and put it
into practice, to a greater or less extent,
some by means of legal enactment and
others through individual and local en
terprises, and the idea is still slowly
growing.
EDITOR COWI.ES, late of the leveland
Ijeader, was the victim of a singular in
firmity of hearing. For example, he
never heard the song of a bird in his
life. A whole room full of canaries
might be in full song, and yet he could
rot hear a note, but the rustle of each
wing would be plainly audible to him.
He could hear all tbe vowels, but there
were many consonants which he never
beard. He could hear a man whisper,
but could fiot hear him whistle. The
upper notes of a musical instrument
were as nothing to him, but the lower
notes could be heard without diffi

laws ar.d without license or super

send into and sell in the other States
any intoxicating liquors in cases or
kegs or even in single bottles or flasks,
despite any legislation of those States
on the subject and although his own
