Of this world's population it is es timated that 250,000,000 go entirely naked. Jitdgk J. P. Smith, of Fort Worth, is worth $1,000,000. Once he walked from Kentucky to Texas because he did not have money enough to pay Lis fare. The use of India rubber for erasing pencil marks. was first suggested in or just prior to 1752 by an academician named Magellan, a descendent of the great navigator. The Vatican library at Kome con tains 50,000 printed books and 25,000 manuscripts. The manuscript form one of the most valuable collections in the world, being mostly Greek, Latin, and Oriental. The San Francisco Examiner says that the fashion of wearing wooden shoes is growing into favor in this country as well as in England. By the aid of machinery a really neat and com fortable wooden shoe can be made so stylish that no young woman need be ashamed to wear it on the street. The world's stock of diamonds has increased enormously in the last fifteen years. In 1876 the output of the Afri can mines was about 1,500,000 carats, last year it was over 4,000,000, and the great "trust" which controls all the principal mine assert that they have 16,000,000 carats "in sight" at the present time. A New York newspaper correspondent is the authority for the statement that the erstwhile conspicuous Nellie Bly has been retained by a New York pub lisher to write serials. The alleged salary would give a United States Supreme Court justice more pocket money than any one of them is probably laying by from his present stipend. Creosote has been successfully ap plied as a remedy for the potato dis ease in Scotland. Every eye of the seed potato is touched with creosote by means of a small camel's hair bru-h. The product of potatoes so treated is al most totally free from disease. Where the creosote is not applied to all the eyes of the seedling the result is partial disease. If too much is used the seed will not germinate. Our country has been invaded by a group of sixteen Frenchmen, members of the Alpine Club, of Paris, who pro pose to ascend all the mountain ranges of America. They will first tackle Canada. These gentlemen, while they may look a little store-made and queer in their typical English tourist's garb, are in reality men of science, and their society has branches in all the capitals of Europe The meanest man on record has been discovered again. He lives in Arkansas City, Kan. He brought suit against his wife for alimony, alleging that she is a strong and healthy woman, and asked that she be compelled to sup port him. The courts have just de cided the case adverse to him. In its decision the Supreme Court says there is no case in the law-books authorizing such a suit; that the domestic relations would have to be readjusted and an obligation cast upon the wife to sup port the husband before such an action could be maintained. There is a negro living in Scriven County, Ga., whose home is a huge log. This log is twenty feet long and five feet in diameter. It is divided into three apartments, one of which is occu pied by the proprietor's three hogs. The negro occupies another, and the third is filled with hunting and fishing apparatus. The negro makes his liveli hood by hunting and fishing. His clothes are of skins of wild beasts and he lives alone by himself. His two dogs are the fiercest to be found anywhere. He procures his ammunition by bartering game with the employes aboard the Sa vanah Biver boats, and the passengers. The -fight at Fredericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862, was a bloody one. It toted all day long, and at night 27,000 dead and wounded men lay upon the baitle field, 7,000 of them being Confederate soldiers. The moroing after the battle H. B. Treadwell, now a resident of Brunswick, and who was a member of the Tenth Georgia Battalion, com-! manded by Major Emeory Bylander, of Americus, went out on the battle-field. Near two federal soldiers, who appeared to be father and son, he found a razor, a razor strap, a shaving brush, and a small piece of soap. These he took, and, having used up the other portion of the outfit, still uses the razor when he wants to shave. King Kalakaua, the King of the Sandwich Islands, has made an im mense amount of money by borrowing from other people. This is an easy way to make money, but the business is apt to run down on a man's hands as J he grows old. Kalakana finds it harder to borrow than he formerly did, for he I has never been known to pay a bill, he says he doesn't have the money. To be sure, he borrows of one man to pav another; but he unfortunately spends the money before he gets to the other man. Kalakana has had all his real au thority taken away from him, and is now I only nominally king, and possesses no real sovereign power. Kapiolani, his wife and queen, is more of a man than he is, and most of the praiseworthy deeds of his reign can safely be at tributed to her. A decideely practical feature of the ! pension business is the frequency of the marriages between old soldiers and young women. An enterprising girl from the poorer classes of Appomattox, or one of the adjoining counties, sends her photograph to the Soldiers' Home at Hampton, Va., a veteran responds, and the knot is tied. No less than twenty such marriages are reported within a radius of five miles of Hamp ton. There would le an element of ro mance in this surrender of the old sol diers to the charms of beauty, if it were not for the purely business nature of the ! transaction. A soldier with a pension is a gold mine, ami his death, which must take place soon in the course of nature, leaves the young widow in the enjoy ment of his pension for the remaining years of her life. Large numbers of people emigrate from the Government of Kovno to Brazil. Circulars are being promul gated stating that the Brazilian Got-, ernment offers great inducements to immigrant laborers whose age is not above 45 years, and especially to mar ried men. Handicraftsmen will find there factories to work at their respect ive trader at very liberal salaries. Farmers will get land free and the necessary implements and means to start work at once upon arriving. The numerous emigration from Kovno of laborers who are allured by these circu lars is due to the fact that the factories -f that district have greatly deteriorated of late, and farming has become less profitable for want of middlemen to bring produce into market. A daily paper of Moscow, reporting these facts, timidly asks : "Is this wholesale deser tion of a tmpnlous and prosperous Gov ernment due to the stringent applica tion of the laws against the Jews?" Ax excellent feature of German mail service is its package delivery. The German mail recently brought me ten pounds of cherries from Hanover and ten pounds of writing material from Berlin all for twenty-four cents, twelve cents on each package, write a corres pondent. And another service which I want to see more generally done by Uncle Sam in America is the daily rural mail service such as Germany has. Though I am seven miles from a rail way a German official brings my mail twice daily, English and German daily papers, and so on. When our American country people, farmers and so on, ran have free mail delivery daily at their own doer, they will read the daily papers, keep abreast of the prices cur rent and the news, and the young peo ple will be more contented because bet ter informed. Then extend the pack age post to the country districts and see how easy it would be to have reading from circulating libraries and other con veniences from the city for a few pence. Nothing is more needed by American farmers than better mail facilities. "A visit to Mount Vernon is accom panied by some curious experiences those days," said a gentleman who was receutly in Washington and went down to Mount Vernon. "The place has been given over to Coney Island prac tices, and you can be relieved of a nickel or a dime every time yon turn around. They have a restaurant now, and serve a lunch or dinner in one wing of the Washington mansion, the meal being cooked in the old kitchen. But the funniest thing to me was a photo grapher, who must have been a good judge of human nature. You know when there is a crowd anywhere, any one man who steps out and assumes leadership and directs what shall be done is generally obeyed. This pho tographer would order everybody to go up on the porch, would pose them in front of his camera, take their nega tives and then demand a quarter apiece for pictures to be sent to each one by mail. The crowd obeyed him and paid their quarters, but I told him I lived in Washington, so he couldn't play no such game on me, and he touched his hat, begged my pardon, but kept on." Ilift Turtle Know Him. J. H. Brobaska, a well-known ex conductor of the Northern Pacific Rail road, is noted for his fondness for dumb animals of every description, and if he had retained all the "pets" he has possessed at various times he would have a fair start in the way of a zoologi cal garden of his own. Probably the moat novel of all his experiences in this line as related by himself recently occurred on the lake near this city. Some time last summer while stroll ing about Cucur d' Alene's suburbs, he came across two small turtles, lively lit tle fellows of the water species, and succeeded in capturing them. He placed them in his coat pocket, took them to Spokane Falls, and there pro vided them with a miniature aquarium in his room and commenced their do mestication and education. One of them, the tutor named "Pat," and the other one he called "Pete." Fat had evidently at some time in his life been a hod-carrier, for on his back was a white spot as if caused by a drop of plaster falling upon it As winter approached, and Mr. Brobaska was absent fiom his room a great portion of the time, he be came solicitous for the welfare of his proteges, and finally determined to bring them back to the Cceur d'Alene Lake and set them free. Accordingly they were again placed in his pocket and in due time returned to their native element. A few days ago, while Mr. Brobaska and some friends were rowing upon the lake, the former espied a small turtle swimming upon the surface a short dis tance from them. He instantly stretched out his hand to the uncouth voyager and called out : "Pete, Pete, come here, old boy !" but, as the summons was not obeyed, he changed the salutation to "Pat, Pat!" At the pronunciation of the magic name the little paddlcr stretched out his neck, turned his head, and, as the call was repeated, changed his course and swam fearlessly to the boat, where he climed into his master's hand, was placed in the latter's pocket, and has again become a citizen of Spo kane Falls. Mr. Brobaska hopes in time to find "Pete" again and recover him in the same wav. Cicur W Alene City Time. lie Foe's Famous Story. Everybody has read his "Robinson Crusoe," but how many are acquainted with the narrative which suggested the wonderfully interesting tale to De Foe? Do Foe's story was published m 1719. Seven years previously there had been published in the journal of a cruising voyage around the world in the ships Dnke and Dutchess, written by Capt, Woodes Rogers, the commander of the expedition, a man of uncommon tact, resource, pluck, and executive ability; a thorough seaman and a writer of quaint and vigorous English. This journal contained the record of the find ing of Aiexn- ler Selkirk on the island of Juan Ft? a.dei. .:nd supplied De Foe with the idea Jtml with some of the details of hi wind-fanious story. The Duke and the Hutches were Bristol privateers; though at the present day Capt. Rogers and his motley crew of adventures would be classed as a gang of pious pirates. The frigates were well manned and well armed, and gave chase to every Spanish galleon that was sighted, making many prizes in the Pa cific, of one of which Selkirk was made the commander. Nor did the expedi tion confine itself to operations on the sea, the valiant Rogers venturing ashore with his men for the purpose of sacking the town of Guayaquil. Book Buyer.

In 1875, on the 18th of January, there was an avalanche ia Nevada, which killed two men and buried a wo man and a child. The woman and child were, however, dug .out of the snow uninjured. The woman was pro tected by a portion of her wrecked home a frame structured The house was swept from its founda tion in suce a Way as to leave the lower floor intact; The woman was first res cued. She at one began to bry out for her child, of which nothing was to be seen about the wrecked house. Soon some one said, "I hear a child I" All listened, and several persons as serted that they heard the faint cry of a child, and agreed that it came from above up on the side of the mount ain. All in that direction appeared to be a compact mass of snow. Men were soon scattered over the mountain slope neat where it was supposed the several wrecked buildings stood. The faint cries of a child were heard, but it was several minutes before the searchdrs could agree whence the sounds came from. At last the sounds were so well located that digging began. The snow was so compact that it was difficult to remove it with shovels, and the workers dared not use picks, there fore there was time for a big crowd to collect and a great excitement to grow while the digging was in progress. The cries of the child constantly be came more distinct, and at last, after four fe.-t of snow had been dug through, the top of a cooking stove was reached. The voice of the child was then so plainly heard that several voices cried out, "It's in the stove 1 The child is in the oven of the stove 1" Soon a hole had been made beside the stove, and a man, thrusting down his hand, said that the oven door of that side of the stove was closed. Ex amination soon showed that the oppo site door was also closed. The mystery of the whereabouts of the child was not solved until the workers had dug down to the floor of the house. It was then found that the child was beneath the stove, whence it was hauled out safe and sound. It had doubtless been crawling about the floor when the ava lanche came, and at the first rush of snow was pushed under the stove, which, fortunately, stood on blocks sev eral inches in height. The Abo of Wonders. The last decade of the nineteenth century promises to be a very brilliant chapter in the history of the world. The wonderful studies in science, the arts and manufactures, made by del vers in regions of mysterious force and un known qualities of the mineral kingdom, and their application to the needs of mankind, will surely .eclipse past rec ords in these lines. Electricity is still in its infancy. In its field the greatest strides are being made, and surprises are so common as to scarcely riffle the surface of the sea of science. The applica ion of the electric force throngh'the xtorape system is now the problem which, if solved, will work wonders in various ways. Since the ocean racing fad has engrossed the at tention of ship owners and builders, the question of propulsion by electricity has received a fresh impetus. A big racer burns over 300 tons of coal a day, and must therefore carry over 2,000 tons of dead weight in the shape of fuel. This drawback to higher speed and quicker trips is what electrical engineers are called upon to remove. It is a knotty problem, but it is not venturing much of a prophecy to say that electrical force will eventually be applied. In discussing the dead weight of ships of this class, another modern ma terial is prominently presented. To aluminum the ship builder of to-day is turning for a substitute to lighten the weight of hulls. The experts who are struggling in this field confidently be lieve this wonderful metal will event ually be manufactured as cheaply as Steele, and of such quality as to be used in the construction of ships. Some as sert that before many years ships of the greatest size, weighing less than their steel -built sisters of to-day by many thousand tons, will be built of alu minum. These can be driven through the waves at a higher rate of speed with engines of the same power as those now in use. Thus science and invention are going hand in hand on land and sea. It is the day dawn of mechanical miracles, fraught with developments which must lead humanity upward and onward to the very verge of that one and seemingly the only impenetrable mystery the life beyond. Foolish ConMlstenry. Emerson tells us that there is no par ticular virture in consistency. How stupid a man must be, he says in eflect, who is not wiser to-day than yesterday, and who does not accordingly have to change some of his opinions. "A man will never change his mind who has no mind to change," says Arch bishop Whately, and Faraday expresses thb same idea when he charges us to remember that "In knowledge that man only is to be despised who is not in a state of transition." There is a medium between what a worthy old gentleman calls "whifflin' about like a weathercock," and remain ing rigidly in one rut of belief. Most of us know instances of men who can not bring themselves to say anything which would contradict what they ut tered last week or last year. A certain Irishman onco declared that he had owned a horse which was fifteen feet high. A few days after he referred to the same animal as having been fifteen hands high. "But," said a listener, "you gave it, the other day, as fifteen feet." "Did I thin?" said Patrick. "Well, 111 stick to it. He was fifteen feet high. The Cobbler Not Kxtinct. A great many people believe that the cobbler is rapidly becoming extinct. Snch belief is erroneous. It is true that the improvement in machinery has made footwear so inexpensive that the man in moderate circumstances can afford to replace the old shoes with a new pair instead of seeking the cobbler as of yore. But it is a mistakeu idea that the discarded boot or shoe is consigned to the rubbish heap. There are poor people who earn their daily bread by gathering up old shoes and s-eiliug them to second-hand dealers. The dealers seek out the cVbb.'ers, have the dis carded shoo put into pieentable shape, and find customer; f"r them men aad women who can pay from 50c. to $1 for a pair of shoe or boot3 who would be compelled to "walk on their uppers" if called upon to produce twice or thrice the amount named. The cobbler may have lost prestige, but he is not nor will he be, in this ceneration, extinct A Cool Proceeding-.

How It Feels for a Boy to Try to Be a Maa Too Soddealy. The boy said it was a peculiar kind of tobacco, known as molasses tobacco, be cause It was so sweet, writes W. D. Howells in Hurpcfg Young People. The" bther boys did not ask how he came td know its name or where he gtt it boys; never ask anything that would be well for them to know but they accepted his theory and his further statement that it was of a mildness' singularly adapted to .learners withoiit .mis givings. The boy was himself chew ing , vigorously on a large quid, ami launching .the juice from his lips right and left like a grOwn person, and my boy took as large a bite as ids' bene factor bade him. He found it as sweet as he had been told it was. and he ac knowledged the aptness of its name of molasses tobacco. It seemed to him a golden opportunity to acquire a noble habit )h 'ay terms. He let the quid rest in his cheek, as he had seen meli do, when he was hut crushing it between his teeth, and for sonic moments he joled his plank up and down the canal boat with a sense of triumph that nothing marred. Then all of a sudden lie began to feel pale. The boat seemed to bo going round and tho sky wheeling overhead. The sun was dodging about Very strangely. Drops of sweat burst from the boy's forehead; lie let fall his pole and said tiiat lie thought lie wotdd go home. The fellow who gave him the tobacco began to laugh and the other" fellows to mock, but my loy did not mind them. Somehow, lie did not know how, he got out of the canal boat and Parted homeward, but at every step tho ground rose & high as his knees before hinn and "then, when he got his foot high enough and be gan to put it down, the ground was not there. He was deathly sick, as he reeled and staggered on, and when ho readied home and showed himself, white ami haggard, to his frightened mother, he had scarcely strength enough to gasp out a confession of his attempt to retrieve the family lionoi by learning to chew tobacco. In another moment nature came to his relief, and then fell into a deep sleep, which lasted the whole after noon, so that it seemed to hiin the next day when lie woke up. glad to tind him self alive, if not very lively. Prrhaps he had swallowed some of tho poisonous juice of the tobacco: perhaps it had acted upon his brain without that. His father made no very close inquiries into the facts, and lie did not forbid him the use of tobacco. It was not neces sary; in that onelittleexperiment he had got enough for a whole lifetime. It shows that after all a boy K not so hard to sat isfy in everything. No soap in the world lias crcr been im itated as much as Dobbins' Electric Soap. The market is full at Imitation.
