Last year 545 iron ships were added to the British merchant navy, the greatest aumber built in any previous year having been 503 in 1864. During the year 1S78, the Coroner of Btorey county, Nevada, held filly-one in quests. Of these twenty-one were the re sults of mining accidents.

"John,' asVed a doctor of the apothe cary's boy, "did Sirs. Green get the medi cine X ordered?" "I gueaa so," replied John, "for I saw crape on the door-knob this morning." The Chaplain of the Maine Ilouse of Representatives astonished his hearers the other day by praying that the Lord would encourage them "to stop speaking when they got through." In British Guiana the authorities have determined to adopt corporal punishment as a part of the sentence in all eases of razor cutting, which is a favorite mode of revenge among the negroes of Burbndoes. In Japan the 4th of July is now a gen eral holiday, lwcr.use on that day was fought the decisive battle of Uneyo, in the contest which resulted in the establish ment of the temporal power of the Mi kado.

When it was as certained that the advertiser was in the habit of coming home and lcating his wife, the number of jtersons who wanted to be treated as "one of the family" were very small. The woods which are heavier than wa ter are Dutch liox, Indian cedar, i bony, lignnmviUe, mahogany, heart of oak, pom egranate, vine. Lignum vit.e is one-third heavier, pomegranate rather more. On the other hand, cork, lmving a specific gravity of .24 and jmplnr of 33, are the lightest woody products. It is promised that a school of design for wonum shall be opened in Florence in connection with theAcademy of A rts. This is the first time such a project has lieen thought of, for drawing has not hitherto formed part of woman's education in Ita ly, and, indeed, among educated women, it is quite a rare accomplishment. Some matches are made without Riil phur, thus avoiding the offensive smell of that materia!. A German tomjxsition for this purpose consists of phosphorus, 4 parts; water, ten; line glue, six; redocher or red lead, five, smalt, two. The ingredi ent?, in the order named, arc incorporated " with the liquified glue to form a paste. An apprentice in a Dan bury drug store got a very good idea of business, says the News man by descending In a sitting pos ture from a step ladder uja a glass ves sel of colored liquid and eight fancy toilet acts. He is at work in a tun-hark mill now. He says it isn't such a nice business as drugs, but he can move around with more confidence. The Postal law of the Uuitcd States is one of the wonders of the age. By it a large bundle will be carried at an insignif icant rate provided it is left open so that the poat-ofuce officials can rummage it. But place slip of paper in it, with a few written words, and the rate jumps prodig iously. A heavy printed circular is sent from one end of the country to the other in as open envelope for one cent, but the letter cs tslf ttsxi cf-f4per costs three cents. England continues to be more and more dotted with munificent rural abodes. During the past quarter of a century mil ikns have been expended iu building and restoring. A recent numltcr of the Lon- lion jiiinuer tli'wcnixw uiu rcnaoniiauuu of Doxford Hall, the seat of the Master of the Northumberland fox hounds. It is of wlute stone and stands on a terrace, partly belted by trees, and situated in a pastoral district, with the sea in the distance on one hand and the Cheviot Hills on tkc other. Already a large house, recent additions have quadrupled it. On the south front a conservatory, fernery, and orchid house have been erected ltfore threeof the draw ing room windows. On the west front is a billiard room, with a bow window, and additionally lighted by the open timbered roof. This apartment is approached by a corridor 40 feet by 11). On the east front is a one-storied wing of kitchens, built with open limbered roofs and furnished with hydraulic ranges, and adjoining these are a dairy, dairy m-ullrry, game larder, plucking room, and bakery. A corridor leads thence to more offices, over which twenty additional ledrooni9 have leen built, and iK'voud this again are laundries replete with every lalxjr-t-aviug conveni ence. The pn-niis are entirely gaslit, and elalorate precautions are taken against sewage gas. The stables are splendid, and have stalls for twenty horses. For eigh teen months one hundred men have Itccn employed daily on the works. All tliis palatial splendor is for an untitled gentle man of the not uncommon name of Browne. A fortune of $12,000,000 may turn upon a bit of yellow archuient found in a rub bih heap. A Nova Scotia journal says that the agent employed by the heirs of the Hyde estate to go to England has written encouraging reports. He has met the directors of the Bank of England, where the money is deposited. 1 lyde was formerly in Annaiiolis, having been sent out by the Imperial Government. He had one daughter Imrn iu Nova Scotia. The money in question was left to her after lie died. An intimation was sent to this country many years ago, asking for the heirs. " The family of the Hydes in United States took the matter up and decided that the real heirs were in Nova Scotia. The missing link up to a recent period was proof that the original Hyde was the one who held the imperial commission and went to Annapolis. There was no commission cf his to be. found. A few years ago an old trunk was sold at auction and bought by a woman for twenty-five cents. She subsequently broke it up for kindling wood, and in the lining found a parchment document, which she deemed so pretty with the seals attached that she put it away as worthy of preservation. Subsequently she happened to mention the incident to a friend. It proved to be the missing document. In planting trees cut mutilated roofj smooth and remove dense masses of fibres; at the same time shorten back the brandi es and remove all superfluous ones. Pre fer low-headed trees to tall stems. Do not put any manure in contact with the roots, but place them in mellow, freshly plowed soil. Spread the roots well, work in the soil thoroughly, and tread it down firmly, and the trees will need no staking. Trees that are received from the nurseries shrivelled, should be buried root and branch for a week or so. Drainage is all inqvortaut where the land is at all reten tive of moisture, though it can leaceoiu ilished after the trees are set. The whole and should be prepared by plow and suli-soiler. The distance to plant will dc jend ujKin the habit of the variety, rang ing from twenty to forty feet. Dave the ground all ready, and marked with stakes, and set the trees as soon as they can be had. The large hall you enter on arriving at Sandringhara, the Prince of Wales's place is fitted up as a diuing-room, with a pian oforte, easy chairs, an 1 two large writing tables, at one of which the Irince usually writes his letters on his return from shoot ing. Behind the piano is a quantity of toys for the children to amuse themselves with at "the children's hour," alter tea. Here, at 5 o'clock, the tea table is placed in the centre of the hall, and is pies.ded over by the Princess in the loveliest of tea gowns. It is a pretty sight to sec her surrounded by her three little girls, who look like tiny fairies, and who run alout to put papa's letters in the large pillar Iost box at one end of the hall. There are generally four or five large dogs to add to th circle. In this same hall the balls take place. The floor is excellent, and the music is in a gallery up stairs. The Corrugated Metal Company of East Berlin on a recent pay-day plac ed a $3 gold piece in the envelope of each em ploye. One of the persons thus paid thought to surprise his wife, and dropped the coin within a dxrwny through which he knew she would shortly pass. But the family cat preceded her mistress through the entrance, and caught up the bright coin w ithin her teeth. In tossing it alout playfully and biting it, pussy accidently swallowed the treasure. Various sugges tions have been made to the owner of the cat for the recovery of the money, but none seem practicable. The village butch er offers $ 2.0) for her. Her owner says she is not for sale. The discover of platinum mirrors, Mr. Dode, has discovered a process for cover ing iron with platinum. The iron is first coated with a prejeration of lead and cop per. It is th-n ready for the platinum composition, which is thus made: Ten parts of platinum are converted into chlo ride, mixed, with five parts of ether, and permitted to evajKrate in the open air. The residue is ineorjiorated in 20 parts of borate of lead, 11 parts red lead, some oil of lavandcr, and 50 parts of amyle alco hol. Into this mixture the article to be coated is dipped, then allowed to dry in the air, and finally heated to a moderate temperature. The Salt Lake Tribune speaking of the Ontario silver mine in Utah, said to lie the richet in America, having turned out more bullion during the past two years than any mine iu California, Nevada or Arizona: "Perhaps in no country in the world can Ik- found such another mine, so regular and so rich. The lowest assay from the 500-foot level is $130; and the ore breast (which averages three feet) goes from that figure to $300 jkt ton. For four months the average battery sample was $110 jkt ton. It is estimated that the ore in sight at present will run the mill two j-cars. There is at the mill now 3,000 tons." Experiments made in Germany show that out of 2,-jOO school Imivs, C7 were un able to distinguish between colors; Imt that out of girls, only one was "eol- or-b!ind.' A curious explanation a of fered for the fact tliat the proportion of color blindness wax gree-tor among .Jewish than Christian ehildr.-n. The sense of sight, it was said, was less developed among the ancients than it w to-tlay, and since the Jews have preserved a greater purity of race and blood than any other people, an inferiority of isioii might reasonably be expected. It is not, however, true, that such inferiority, on an average, exists. Look out lor the low wet places in your grain-fields when the thaw begins, and se if a few ypadesful of earth would ot let the water out. Such trifling at tcul'o.i we have known to pay a bushel of wheat for a shovelful of earth certainly percentage of profit enough to satisfy the ino-st miserly, to say nothing of the laziest. The latter are the greatest usurers. New Zealand has a mile of rail mar! for every 434 inhabitants; the United States has one mile for every 530 inhabitants. Tlu r" is now in process of construction in New Zealand 350 miles of new road, which when completed, will give that tolony 1.3U3 miles of railroad. There are also Eiojectcd 323 more miles, which, if uilt, will give a total of 2,331 miles. Popular Errors. To think that the more a man cats the : fatter and stronger he w ill Kvome. To believe that the more hours children tmly the faster they will learn. To conclude, if exercise is "good, the more violent it is tlic more good is done. To imagine that ' every hour taken from sleep is an hour i gained. To acton the presumption thattho smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep in. To argue that wnaieer remedy causes one to feel immediately better, is good for the system, without re gard to more ulterior e fleets. To eat without an appetite or to continue to eat after it has leeu satisfied merely to gratify the taste. To eat a hearty upicr for the pleasure exjcricnccd during the brief time it is passing down the thioat, at the ex pense of a whole night of disturbed sleep and & weary waking in the morning. Thoroughbred vs. Common Sheep. A farmer who is supjtoscd to own as good common sheep as anybody, says the Live Stock Journal, sheared his flock, find after weighing iu the lleece,found that each sheep averaged two and a half pounds. Say that wool is worth 20 cents per iund, the profits from each sheen will be 50 cts. Take now an estimate ot fleeces of the thoroughbred Merino and Cotswold, which will not average less than eight jiounds per head the net profits on each sheep, $1.00 of $1.10 in favor of the thorough bred will-command a higher marketable value. Now it costs the same to raise the thoroughbred as the common sheep; the mutton of ononis as good as the other; the profits of the wool of the thorough bred is three times greater than from the common. Every farmer owning a flock of sheep should make it convenient to purchase a thoroughbred ram to improve the quantity and yield of his wool; such an investment will pay Malarial Toison. Dr. Goodall, of Bennington, Yt, in a paper recently read, says: Some of the most fatal epidemics of typhoid fever that ever visited England were traced to milk, the joison lieing conveyed in it to the nonsusecting communities by the milk men. The ash pits of the dairy farms were situated so near the water supply that it became contaminated with sewer age, and two persons having died on one of these farms of typhoid fever, the sewer age from the ash pit contained the germs of the disease, the water thus contaminat ed was used to wash the pans, and possi bly to adulterate the milk, thus one of the most essential and wholesome articles of diet became the medium for the diffusion of a most dreaded disease. Slaughter houses, unless the greatest precautions are observed, are prolific in the production of animal miasm of a very virulent character. An illustration of the effects of animal miasm was recent ly seen in a neighboring State. A large tomb containing thousauds of dead lodies was so foul from tlwir decomposition that ventilators were put in the vaut ; imme diately the neighlsirhood was flooded with the most horrid smells, putrid dis eases of various kinds pervaded the once healty section for several seasons, until the cause was discovered and removed, when immediately the epidemic of dis ease ceased. The practice of leaving dead sheep, lamls, calves, dogs and other animals on the surface of the earth is very pernicious. The dangers of stagnant water, and the so called dry mill onds in hot weather, are patent to all. Wells without covers are dangerous, bushels of leaves finding access thereto, and many small animals aid in impregnating the water with disease producing elements. The fact of the increased prevalence of diptheria in our own country of late may very likely le due, in part at least, to the more artificial mode of treating children, its more common victims. For it is a shameful fact, that as a result of modern fashion few children now, among all class es, have proper clothing or covering for their limbs, and a still smaller number take their , food with strict regularity, al staining from it Ixtween meals as well as from candies, raisins, nut3 and other in jurious and indigestible trash, as they should. The disease once produced by any of the alove causes may spread by contagion, infection or inoculation. Contagion is the-.t or process of transmitting a dis ease from one person to another by direct or indirect con-infection is that which in fects or causes the communicated disease. Inoculation is, to communicate a disease to a person by inserting infectious matter in hi skin or flesh. Domestic. lving Cake. Three-quarters of a pound of butter, one and a quarter pounds of su gar, one nutmeg, six eggs and cup milk; flour to make an ordinary batter. Pumpkin Butter. First stew pumpkin, then take molasses and pumpkin equal parts, and stew for an hour; season with cinnamon. Cup Cake. One cup of white sugar, one-half cup of butter, two eggs, two cups of flour, one teasponful cream tartar, half teaspoonful soda, half cup of milk. Beat the butter and sugar together and the eggs separately. Pumpkin Pies. Cut the pumpkin in small pieces, stew with one tea cup of wa ter until soft and dry as possible. Put through a colander. Take 8 eggs, 2 ta blesj)oonsful of pumpkin, 1J cups of su gar, 1 cup of milk; flavor with cinnamon, allspice and ginger. Put in a pan lined with pastry and bake. Apple Jelly. Core, and cut out all bad spots from the apples, then add a very little water, and stew as for apple sauce; when done put into a bag and hang up to drain; when cool enough squeeze gently; be careful not to get the pulp through. To a pint of juice add a jxund of sugar; boil 20 minutes and it is done. Dried Celery and Parsley. If you ev?r use celery, wash the leaves, stalks, roots, and trimmings, and put them in a cool oven to dry thoroughly; then grate the roots and rub the leaves and stalks through a sieve, and put all into a tighly corked bottle or tin can with close cover; this mattes a most delicious seasoning for soups, stews, and stuffing. When you use parsley, save every bit of the leaf, stalk or root, you do not need, and treat them in the same way as the celery. BememlK-r in using parsley that the root has even a stronger flavor than the leaves, and docs not waste a bit. A Secret Worth Knowing by House keepers. A sort of trade-secret among up holsterers, it is saitl, is this recijte for rid ding furniture of moths : A set of furni ture that seemed to be alive with the lar va, and from which hundreds of these ests had leeu picked and brushed, was set into a room by itself. Three gallons of Itcnzinu was purchased, at 30 cents a gallon, retail. Using a small watering lot, with a fine rose-sprinkler, the whole upholstery was saturated through and through with the Knizine. Besult: Ev ery moth, larva, and egg wa? killed. The benzine dried out in a few hours, and its entire odor disappeared ia three or four days. Not the slightest harm hapiened to the varnish, or wood, or fabric, or hair btufiing. That was mouths ago, and not a sign of a moth has since appeared. The carpets were also well sprinkled all round the sides of the room, with equally good effect. For furs, flannels indeed, all woolen articles containing moths, lx?n zine is most valualle. Put theiuiu abox, 6prinkle them with lcuzine, ciose the lox tightly, and in a day or two the pests will be exterminated, and the benzine will all evaporate on qxoung. . In uting benzine grtit care should lie jrkn that no fire is .near by, as t!k: fctuflrm fluid or y) form, is very inHammable. The Good OldViines. There is a great deal ofnonsvus.- ta.'ked alxuit the good old tini"s. Every city, town, or village in lh l.oid has its croak ers, who s.-e nothing b;it disaster in the future, hard times in 1 1 iffa resent, and good times in the past. The Adrian Times tells of one of lh-se complaining ' iddh iduals who was growling ubout the present low price of wheat. A well known Michigan citizen gives a little of his experience in the good old times of forty years ago. He lived where Burr Oak now stands, and wanting to get some ' barrels of salt, he put soma thirty bushels ' of wheat in his wagon, anil started for i Adrian, eight miles away. As he could not get cash there lie went on to l'almyra mills and sold his wheat for fifty cents a bushel. Going back to Adrian, he paid $3 for two banels of salt, ami got back to Burr Oak after being five days gone, be ing delayed by the execrable roads. This is a fair sample of the good old times, and it must lc admitted the' do not flat ter themselves by comparison with the times we have at present.
