Mr. James Wright, second vice presi dent of the Initial! line, Hays that when the end of 192 conies at least 100,000 people will have K-tt for Europe from all porta of this country during the year. Half of them will sail during the fifteen weeks of the season, from April to Angu.-t. Sum.' travelers will carry UuTid.eilri of doll. ;.rs ia their pocketbooks to rpend where others carry thousands. Nine-tenths of those hundreds ami thou sands will 1 transferred to foreign own em lx-f ore the tourists return. Even the money spent for p.ussage and during the voya -s must be counted in that winch bids go. nlby to tins land or liiK-rty, for the great Nteauiship compa nies are, with -one exception, foreign coijk. rat ions. Including tips and fees these corporations will take an average of :! from each passenger for the round trip. The majority willwiy less, hut there will lie enough rich men who who pay a good deal more to bring the mean amount up to that ligure. The money which each tourist carries with him is harder to estimate. A for eign exchange clerk said that the letters of eivdit issued by them to European travelers average about C0O. or $3,000 each; but this is above the ordinary fig ( lire, and of course this in many cases covers a party of four or five. Eight hundred dollars is estimated as the aver age amount taken by each passenger in the cabin. This makes the total average expenditure of the average European traveler $900. When this is multiplied by the estimated total of these travelers the result is astounding. It is $JW5,000,Ot)0. Ninety-six millions of dollars carried from America to Europe iu a single year by travelers alone! If this were saved for a few years Uncle Sam might buy a good slice of Europe and bring it over here for exhibition purposes. New York Press. Lenten ORerings. The Lenten offerings of the Snnday school children of the Protestant Epiaeo pal chnrch thronghout the United States Urns far received in behalf of the gener al board of missions are largely in excess of those for the same period in 1891. In the two weeks immediately succeeding Easter 1,137 Sunday schools sent in $0, 699, and it is believed a total of 100,000 will have been received when all of the 4,000 schools in the country shall have been heard from. This is double the sum donated last year. The Lenten Sunday school offering is a feature of the work of the board uf missions. Just before Lent this year the board sent a package of folding paste board savings bunks to each Sunday school superintendent for distribution among his pupils for the reception of the children's savings during the fasting sea son. No sooner had Easter passed than the little banks began to arrive at the offices of the board in the Bible House. The twenty-five young women in Bish op Leonard's school in Reno, Nev., sent $250. One school sent in 5,000 pennies and another 10,000 pennies. It will be July before all the returns will have been received. New York Herald. Macaulay's Birthplace. Rothley Temple, Lord Macaula5T's birthplace, is for sale by public auction. It is an old manor house, some six miles from Leicester, and there the historian was born at the end of the year 1800. It cannot be said that Rothley Temple de rived more than nominal luster from the association, for Macaulay left Leices tershire before he had left infancy, and Birchin Lfine, in the city, was the home of his earliest childhood. Instead of a manorial park he had Drapers' gar dens for a playground, until he went to live in the old High street at Clapham. The Leicestershire manor, however, has many historical interests besides this one, and a Thirteenth century chapel of the Knights Templars is attached to the estate. It is a wealthy manor, too, for 000 acres produce 2,000 of annual reiit: j and, moreover, it is at the headquarters of the famous Qnorn Hunt, and in the heart of some famous scenery. London Star. Cost of an Epidemic Dr. Thresh, the medical officer for the county of Essex, having obtained full returns of the late epidemic of influenza, estimates tliat no less than 540 persons died under the immediate attack, and that no fewer than 1,400 deaths occurred in the county from its direct or indirect influence. The monetary loss for the ' two months during which the epidemic prevailed he states at no less than 50. 000, on the basis of the loss of wages of adults calculated at twelve shillings a week. He adds: "I am, however, afraid that had the county suffered rrom an epidemic among cattle, causing in the time the same number of deaths and in dicating the same pecuniary loss, the alarm produced would have been greater and more permanent." British Medical Journal. A 1 00,000 Pound Chip of a Rock. A stone quarry company of Bedford, Ind., has shipped the largest single block of stone ever quarried and shipped in the United States. The block w.is 12 feet 8 inches long, 6 feet 3 inches high iind 6 feet 3 inches wide, containing 500 cubic feet, and weighed 100,000 pounds. The car on which it was shipped had to be ordered specially for it, and was th'? car that was built for the purpose of transporting the thirty-foot c.ir.no j s-:-.it by the government to the Paciiis cai .1 few months since. The stone is p i f- 'ct. not having a flaw or defect. Inli;iiii.;-.-lis Journal. A Telephone in Every Room.

CATCHING MENHADEN OFF THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. How Hrhooli of Flh Are Pursued. itf tur'd und Mtowrri Aboard An Ac-o.n-modntliiK Meailier of tho FUrfiy Tri!c Which Can Ite L'sed in 3Iiiiiy Way. Pitching his voice high the lookout at he masthead of tho menhaden eteaim-r hhouts out gleefully: "A sclio!! A school!" and immediately all is bustle and excitement on board. "As this is a new experience to you. sir, von Khali have a seat with ine in my boat." 'Thank you, captain; I am only txj eager to see the fun." The crews now take their places in the seine boats, while two of the party, known as drivers, go out in advance in little thirteen foot boats to learn the direction iu which tho school is moving, and to mark out its size. Tho jolly cap tain a true type of the traditional Cape Codder, square built, sturdy, genial, his face bronzed by years of exposure to sunshine and sea breezes and very intel ligent withai takes his place at the in side Imav oar in one of the seine boats, and the male a corresponding position in tho other, and by the time they reach the school the drivers describe the move ments of the fish. They now begin throwing out the neiiie, each boat going in an opposite di rection around the school, the drivers iu the meantime splashing the water to keep the fish from escaping. Soon the boats meet, and all hands now pull at the purse line, the net and cork line. The steamer is brought alongside, and after the fish are driven well together the net is fastened to the steamer's side and they are baled into the hold by means of a large dip net run by a don key engine. The next thing on the programme is to prepare the menhaden for salting, to be used as bait for which there is great demand. This is a simple process, but to me its novelty invests it with partic ular interest. The head of the fish is taken in the left hand of the workman, and with a peculiarly shaped knife held in the right hand he" cuts a slice, longi tudinally, from each side of the Inxly, leaving the head and vertebne to be thrown away or occasionally to be pressed for oil. The slivers are salted and packed in barrels. This opening act of the day's drama ended. Captain Williams invites me t. accompany him into the cabin, and tht jolly skipper there entertains me with some interesting points about the fishery. "It's queer how many different names the menhaden is known by," observe the skipper. "Fact is, it has more ali ases than a veteran criminal more nick names than there were colors to Joseph's coat. Besides the more common name of menhaden it is known as pogy, bony fish, mossbunker. hardhead, whitefish, bunker, oldwife, bugfish, cheboy, ell wife, alewife, fatback, greentail, wife and yellowtail shad. It's about as long as the common sea herring, but is deep er and more robust looking. Its aver age length is from twelve to fifteen inches. 1 hardly need tell you that it is valuable as a bait fish, it excelling all others as such; that as a food resource it is thought to have great qualtities; that its chief value is as a fetilizer and and that it is also valuable for the oil .and scrap produced by cooking and pressing them. "For illustration, here are some min utes I made in my memorandum book in regard to what was done in the year 1880. which was a fair representative sea son. That year the total weight of the catch was 576,000 pounds equivalent to about 700,000,000 menhaden in number. Pretty big army, eh? Quantity of oil pro duced, 2,0tiG.oU3 gallons, and of guano G8,y)4 tons, having a total value of :j&,034.Gl. Capital invested in steamers, etc., and their outfit and in factories ,362,841. As compared with previous vears, however, the yield of oil was small." "About how long, captain, does the catching season last?" "Well, you see. as soon as the men haden make their appearance in the spring, vessels start in pursuit of 'em and continue capturing 'em till they dis appear in the fall. From the menhaden oil and guano factories along the south ern coast of New England, New York and New Jersey shores, the fleets of steam and sail vessels begin their cruises early in May, chasing the fish along tli shores and in the sounds, wherever they can be found. The vessels seldom cruise more'n ten or fifteen miles from land. The total area of the ground is estimated at 5,350 square geographical miles. "The average steamer is about the size of this one. That is to say, some 70 tons measurement, 90 feet long, 17 feet beam, 7 feet depth of hold and seven feet draft aft and costs 10,000. It costs not far from $1 ,000 a month for wages, fuel and provisions to run it. Like this boat, they are screw steamers and are rigged with one mast for'ard. which is fitted with a crane for taking in the catch. The men's quarters are in the for' castle. The fish are stored in bulk in the hold. The engine house, as you see, is astern the main hatch, with coal bunkers open ing on deck each side. All of 'eui have fitted to the bulwarks on either side, near the stern, cranes for the boats, and towing chocks are set in the deck on either quarter aft. The hold or tank for storing the fish is water tight. There are some steamers engaged in the fishery which are more'n 150 feet long, carrying from twenty-seven to thirty men, and cost $30,000 aui upward. Most of the steamers carry four seine boats. "Since steamers have come into vogue the factories have greatly increased their facilities for handling large catch es. The first factory could work up only a few hundred barrels a day, while now the big factories take from 3.000 to 5,000 barrels daily." New York Herald. The paper for Bank of England notes is made from new cuttings of white linens, never from linen that has been worn or soiled. ChallaKiK a Critical JouroalUt. A very slight and jmlito criticism in dulged in at th expense of a cavalry of ficer who was riding aliout a week ago at the h"i-s show has assumed the pro portions of a serious event. The officer in question Kent a letter to the writer saying tliat lie could uiiler-ta;id the criticising the horsemanship of j.K-kys and grooms, but th.-t lie had no bi i:.t s to pas any remarks on that of "g--i!'! men or oilicers." He forbade t!; jour nalist to mention his name, and wound up by adding tliat his sole right was that of the stronger and that he would prove it if the offense were repealed. The journalist in a second paragraph re marked that he did not think he had acted improperly in criticising the per formances of horsemen who rode iu public place to which admission was olc tained by payment, and, referring to tin letter, said he could not believe that it "had been penned by a French olfic er, and was convinced that it was a forgery. Thereupon the cavalry officer n.-nt two of his friends to tho journalist with a hostile message, and 111 the duel that followed he wounded him in the arm. He thus proved that he was "Le plus fort." But the affair is creating a gn at sensation, the prevailing opinion being that the argument employe I by the ofu cer was, to say the least, utterly illogi cal iu fact, this unlucky episode has brought once more on the tapis the vexed question of the expediency of military men displaying their prowess at races and horse shows. Paris Cor London Telegraph. Will Live in a ;1:iks Mouse. At the city of Dinard, in the depart ment of Ille-et-Vilaine, France, there lives a man distinguished both for his originality of ideas and for the fullness of his money bags. He has been sjieak ing and teaching for a long time upon the necessity of men lieginning to lead lives of greater purity, so that they need not be afraid of having all their deeds under the incessant supervision of so ciety'. He is himself willing to submit to the trial and wants to find others to do the same. He has determined to have a three story house built all of glass. A dwelling of such transparency would not not only allow its inhabitants at all times a splendid prospect in every direction upon the beautiful country surrounding the place, but also expose the minutest details of the daily life of the people in the house to the inspection of the entire city. The originator of tho idea has found an architect willing to build the house on condition that he receives payment i 1 advance. But there is no renting agent that will take the agency for it. If it is to be a lodging house for bachelors, theyr say, they may be able to do something with it, but they cannot find a female, they think, that would consent to livo in a glass house. Nevertheless the old gentleman is determined to realize his idea. Chicago Herald. Tree Trunks Filled with Squirrels. Woodchoppers on Dr. Price's Lennpe farm report tliat squirrels are very numerous among the trees. When the choppers began last fall there were several acres of trees standing and the squirrels were not numerous, but as the trees were cut, a few at a time, the little animals were driven from one place of refuge to another until all were gathered into a small space, and the lew remaining trees are filled with them. A man who had been working among them says some of the hollow trees are packed so full of squirrels that tho tim bers creak every time the animals draw a deep breath. In the morning when the men go out to work they are met at the railway tracks by the knowing little auiuials. which feel secure because the game j i . . . i i laws protect tuem ai tins season. - gentleman who has seen them says that they do not offer to carry the kettles of the men, although they do not object to sharing the contents. West Chester (Pa.) Republican. A Sad Story. A contemporary relates that there was a tragedy in the composing room of a Philadelphia paper the other day. The compositors were busy at their cases when one of their number, a young woman, fainted away, and she was con veyed to her home. Another compositor finished her "take,' which proved to be an account of a suicide in another city. There were forty compositors in the room, but this particular copy fell to I this particular young woman, and the suicide was her affianced sweetheart. Klectric Lijlt in the Taris Tunnel. An installation of electric light is being laid down in the Batignolles tun nel, near Paris, in which the incandes cent lamps are placed at a height of about fifteen feet above the rails. The light is received by plates of burnished tin covered with glass, which reflect a soft and agreeable light into the car riages. New York Times. A Qii-er Case. O. E. Crr.se, of Kingston, Ont., died on Good Friday, and when his father, Thomas Cruse, formerly auditor general of Canada, learned of it he said: "I am going to die myself tomorrow. You can bury us together on Easter Sunday." The old man died the same night. A String of Advertising. If the advertisements in a paper pnl lished in Boston last Sunday had l--n pasted together column upon column they would be feet long, or sixty-two feet higher than the Bunker Hill monu ment. New York Commercial Adver tiser BlacR snow lately fell in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, a xhenomenon which was once thonght to pre: age the black plague and other cala. nines, but is now known to be due to a fungus in the snow. A large contract for steel rails ha3 been placed in Belgium in connection withthe new Turkish railway to Sa lonica. This is thought to be an out come of the recent coal troubles in England.
