But man is simple in this respect compared with the carp. That remarkable fish moves no fewer than 4,386 bones and muscles every time it breathes. It. has 4,320 veins, to say nothing of its 99 musclea. The typhoon of the Orient is nn own sister of the West India cy clone. It is generated in the low lat itudes, late in the summer or early in the autumn, at the western edge of the Pacific, not far from the Phil ippines. It begins its career by mov ing westward, but in time returns to the coast of China and Japan. Brock, in Holland, is far famed as the “neatest town in the world." This town is so fastidious that until a few years ago horses were not allowed in the streets, for reasons of cleanliness, and the entire town is as scrupuously kept as a man-of-war. It contains 2,700 inhabitants, and its main indus try is the making of Edam cheese. About, all that a Chinese gentleman wants to practice the profession of medicine is to declare himself a doc tor. and go to work curing or killing people, as the ease may Imp, at the rate of about two cents per visit. If a patient persists in dying in spite of the drugs ami incantattons presented by his Celestial physician it is no fault ol the doctor. William Churchill, the English war correspondent, says that after can ful study of many nations he has concluded that the distinguishing characteristic of English-speaking people as compared with other white races is that they wash, and wash at regular intervals. "Englaml and America." he says, ‘‘are divided by an ocean of salt, water, but they are united by a bathtub of soap and fresh water.” After nearly 30 years of constant effort, and the expenditure ot nearly 5500,000, scientists have succeeded in accurately measuring the earth. They have learned that its diameter through the equator is 7,926 miles; its height from pole to pole 7,399 miles. The earth, therefore, is flat tened at the poles. And while that fact, has long been asserted, the act ual measurement lias removed the question from the domain of doubt. The cross of the Legion of Honor was recently bestowed on Mme. ( lenience Royer, u French scientist. Mme Royer is a Breton and was born in Nantes seventy years ugo. She studied for a time in Englaml and afterward founded a school for girls at Lausanne. The cross, studded with brilliants, was the gift of the stuff <>f a French daily paper and was pinned to her corsage by M. Leygues, the minister of public instruction. In the vicinity of Odessa are what are called “limans,” vast sheets of water, which were originally con nected with the sea, but through gradual silting up of sand have been isolated ami are now extensive salt water lakes. By means of evapora tion the waters in these lakes have become concentrated, and have been proved to be of so much therapeutic value that the “liman cure,” ns it is culled, is rapidly growing in popular favor. Counterfeiters who were preparing to flood San Francisco with false coin during the rush of the Christmas holidays were discovered in a curious way. A workman busied high up on the new post office building noticed two men in a building some distance away, who kept coming to the win dow to scrutinize carefully some ob ject in their hands The workingman leaped to the conclusion that they were counterfeiters ami the event proved him right. It is said that any one who is for tunate enough to lx* the guest of Mme. Christine Nilsson is likely to become deeply interested in one par ticular room in the house, and that he or she, as the ease mav be. is fre quently to be found closely scanning the wall paper of this apartment. This is entirely composed of the receipted bills of the prima donna, which let in a flood of light on the enormous expense necessarily incur red by great artists. This winter, for the first time in the history of Dakota state or ter ritory, the Sioux Indians at Rosebud are allowing cattlemen to graze herds on the reservation on payment of a stipulated price.
