Not a few have shot away all the amunitlon they can get at them. Last week another child in Ascension died from the effects of swallowing con centeated lye. A colored woman Ilying on Claiborne street procured some lye from a neighbor's in a cup, for scrub. bing purposes and one of the two little orphan boys left in her care by their father, probably mistaking the lye for condensed milk, took up the cup unob served and drank a portion of the con tents.

Parties 3- from the upper country also report the * worms in Grimes and Walker counties.

Meie . InteretinW %tatistl;te from the Publie lirhlee of Bateon. [Boston Transoript, July 7.1 The garowth of children has been made the subject of very ingenious and original researches through some 25,000 measurements of the children in the public schools of this city, by Prof. Bowditoh, of the Harvard Medical School, and published by the State Board of Health. Prof. Bowdltch's fig ures and tables appear to be the most thoroughgoing and valuable as a basis for scientific deduction in existence. His own summary of the most impor tant results he has obtained is as fol lows: "The growth of children takes place in such a way that until the age of 11 or 12 years boys are both taller and heavier than girls of the same age, but at this period of life girls begin to grow very rapidly, and for the next two or three years surpass boys of the same age in both height and weight. Boys then ac quire and retain a size superior to that of girls, who have now nearly completed their full growth. Children born of American born parents are in Massa chusetts taller and heavier than chil dren of foreign born parents, a supe riority which seems to depend partly on the greater average comfort in which such children live and grow up, and partly upon differences of race or stock. Pupils of American ,parentage at the publio Latin school and other higher schools are (apparently for the same reasons) superior in height and weight to the generality of boys of American arentage in the publio schools, and to English boys of the non-laboring class attending public schools and universi ties, the superiority in weight being, as a rule, more marked than that in height." ---... *4.----... flank of England I1otes. Few persons who handle Bank of England notes ever think of the amount of labor and ingenuity that is expended on their production. These notes are made from pure white linen cuttings only, never from rages that have been worn. They have been manufactured for nearly 200 years at the same spot Laverstoke, in Hampshire, and by the same family, the Portals, who are de soended from some French Protestant refugees. go carefully is the paper pre pared that even the number of dips Into the pulp made by each workman is registered on a dial by machinery, and the sheets are carefully counted aud booked to each person through whose hands they pass. The printing is done by a most curious process in Mr. Coe's department within the bank building. There is an elaborate arrangement for securing that no note shall be exactly like any other in existence. Con sequently there never was a duplicate of a Bank of England note, except by forgery. Aecording to the City Press the stock of bank notes for seven years is about 91,000,000 In number, and they fill 18,000 boxes. **--~~---- - The Turklih Leaderm. Gen. Kimball who has been with the Turkish army in Asia, says that the regular Turkish soldiers fought very bravely and with skill during the battle, and also during the retreat. Capable officers are greatly needed. The Circas. slans and Kurds were wonderfully brave when the enemy was out of sight. They would ride up and down furiously through the camp, gnash their teeth and make their boast of what they would do to the enemy. But when the bullets began to whistle they were worthless; they ran this way and that, shooting into the air, and early in the battle fled to the rear. Not so, however, the regular Turkish soldier. He does not boast, and fights hard to the very last. In this very battle he gave a fine testimony to his merit. He entered the battle field e ut- ring with keen hunger, every man being on quarter rations; and yet he fought stoutly throughout the day, and beat off the Cossacks in retreat. .... .64. ....- --- 10040.--- FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
