Copper was tjae material of-tbe original chaste goddess, who pointed with her bow to the wind's eye from that lofty pinnacle awhile ago. The white *»eta! is far better for the purpose on account of its comparatively small weight for the bulk. It ia only about as heavy as chalk. This wholesale price of it has been brought down by improved processes to f 1.25 g pound. Perchance aluminium will, at some time in the fu* ture, be tho material universally em­ ployed for making statues. Inasmuch as there is plenty of it to be had, every clay bank being a mine of it, it may reasonably be expected that pro­ cesses will eventually be discovered for separating it in unlimited quantities at a comparatively cheap rate from the ma­ terials with which it is found combined in nature. One important advantage that it has for Bt&tuary'and monumental purposes is the fact that it does not cor­ rode and is as nntarnishable as gold. The aluminium Diana is being put to­ gether by a New York firm. She will be 13 feet high, whereas her predecessor wap 18 feet in height. The sculptor, St. Gaudens, and other Experts were of the opinion that the original goddess was too big. So they took it down and or­ dered a new one, while tbe big copper huntress was shipped to the World's fair at Chicago.--Exchange. - • - Dakota's Great WhaatlleMa. : A* large party of foreign agricultural commissioners to the World's fair, un­ der the escort of Governor Shortridge of North Dakota, saw some harvesting operations in that great wheat country a few days ago which must have opened their eyes, accustomed as they-are to the small acreages of Europe. Driving through a vast wheatfield bounded only by the horizon, they beheld as many as 43 twine binders moving in a steady pro­ cession half a mile long and cutting great swaths of grain. They were told by the jowner of this farm that in harvesting time he cut a square mile of grain in aday'and em­ ployed 80 men to shock it up. At noon the visitors sat down to a prairie ctifbken dinner on a mammoth scale, which ex­ cited their surprise almost as much M the prairie acres on which they gazed. Afterward they visited the famous Dalrymple farm, covering 54,000 acres of ground, and saw numerous thrashing machines making their inroads into the stacks of wheat which it required 180 twine binders from two to three weeks to cut.---New Y ork Post.

A Jnit bat Lenient An unusual incident occurred in the city court at Savannah a few days ago. Judge McDonnell was tardy in putting in an appearance, for which he fined himself $10 and then promptly re­ mitted the fine. His honor went to see his physician to have his arm, which he recently injured, dressed, and the doctor kept him a little longer than he had counted on. When he entered the courtroom, the hands on the clock above the judge's desk pointed to just 10 min­ utes past 10. Judge McDonnell took note of the fact and said: "In accordance with the rules of this court every officer who comes in late is subject to a tine. The clerk will therefore, enter a fine of $10 against the court for tardiness, to be paid into the registry of the court. Owing to the fact, however, that this is the first time this thing has happened, and also that the court had to be detained in order to have its arm dressed, the clerk will re­ mit the fine."--Baltimore Sun. lagllah Taught la Frenoh Snfcoala. The French minister of public instruc­ tion has issued a circular which will have the effect of greatly stimulating the study of the English language in France. In all the higher schools and training col­ leges the compulsory studies hitherto have included two modern languages, one of which must be German, This or-, der is now annulled. Two modem language will be the rule as before, and one will remain at the op­ tion of the pnpil, but as to the other he can choose between German and Eng­ lish. Moreover, the time given t6 the study of German is reduced by two hours, while that devoted to English is increased by the same length of time, and pupils will begin their English les­ sons one year earlier than hitherto.-- London News. A PhoaphorosooBt Tree. A large willow tree on the'bank.of Tan run in Frankford fell over recently and developed into a natural curiosity. The inside of the tree, which has been dead for several years, was found to be a mass of phosphorescent light known as fox fire. As darkness came on and the curious phenomenon was discovered, hundreds of people gathered, and as many as could get around the old trunk went to work with hatchets and knives to secure specimens. Soon the ground around was strewn with small chips,* which glittered like so many little stars. --Philadelphia Record. A Live Toad In a Hailstone. A hailstorm visited Pawtucket about 10 o'clock Saturday evening, such as has not visited this vicinity for years, if within the memory of man. One woman picked up a large hailstone and allowed it to melt in her hand. She thought something was inside the little piece of frozen rain, but was surprised to find when all had melted a little live toad or frog in her hand. There is a quite gen­ eral belief that a great many pebbles came down with the hail.--Providence JournaL .

For my part I faQ to see where the laresent style of kicking, or the displays of the leg dramas, or the very decollete bodices and abbreviated skirts of the ballet dancer have any advantages over the sinuous movements of Egypt. Ori­ entals, Japan for example, dance with their hands. Western peoples dance with their legs. Look at the rigid bodies of Pat and the American clog dancer. France and Italy have brought all the body into action, whereby grace is sometimes attained. Th© midorient confines dancing to abdominal gyration, marvelous as gym* nasties and absolutely impossible to women who have ever worn corsets. Such development and control of ab­ dominal muscles as are exhibited by the dancing girls in Chicago-Cairo would, if possessed by AtbhIcuu women, be the salvation of the race. Invalidism would be impossible, and children would be born healthy. Other than as gymnas­ tics the danse du ventre has no interest whatever. It has neither grace nor beauty, the dancer* are not attractive, and their persisting in wearing French heels denotes incapacity on their part to appreciate the eternal fitness of thing*. Vulgar men and women who have set tip a howl against this performance wopld do well to look around the American ballroom and dinner table and dispover like food for prurient fancy. I am quite side of Comstockian morality.--Kate Field. Crops Saved by Vroat Torehea. As fine a display of fireworks as could be desired might have been witnessed after midnight the other morning in the mountainous farm lands covering the northern portion of Saratoga county, N. Y, Frost comes early thereabouts, and three years out of five damages or de­ stroys the corn and buckwheat. A Swedish farmer on Hadley hill sug­ gested the use of "frost torches" in time of danger, and explained that Scandi­ navian agriculturists made them of petro­ leum soaked peat. Peat is not handy in the locality of Hadley hill, but pice is plentiful, so in odd times during the summer a number of farmers cut stakes 2 inches in diameter and 6 feet long and provided themselves with kerosene. At 8 o'clock the other evening the thermometer fell to 88 degrees, ami the experimenters put their stakes to soak. At midnight they set them up, 60 to the acre, in the buckwheat fields, and by 1 a. m. had them blazing and smoking. Every man who tried the plan saved hiq crop. On other farms, where nothing was done, the probable yield is reduced at least two-thirds. The "frost torches" cost in all a half oent each.--New York Sun. Swiss Walters Drop the Dress Coat; The dress coat of the kellner is short­ ly to disappear from the leading Swiss hotels, so that it will no longer be possi­ ble to confound the waiters with the guests. At a recent meeting of the Union of Hotel Keepers the question was sol­ emnly debated whether it was not prac­ ticable to clothe the waiter in a more rational dress than the hitherto obliga­ tory swallowtail. The precedent for such a revolution has already been set in Germany. A few months ago tha "Deutsche Gastwirths Verband" offered a prize for the best example of a conven­ ient dress for the waiter. The design accepted was a tailless jacket (Joppe) oi dark blue cloth, after the fashion of the stewards' uniform on board ships. This has met with a wide approval in tha profession, and it is already adopted by the kellner in many of the large German towns. The degrees of aristocracy among the waiters are marked on the collar. The ober kellner, or head waiter, wears three stars on his collar, Frans or Jean two ftars and the Piccolo one star. Bern Bund.

It is the custom in Germany not to al­ low persons on the platforms of railroad stations save the actual travelers except on payment of a small fee, which fee in large cities constitutes quite an income. Thus during the eight months frqpt Jan­ uary to August, 1892, the Friedrick Strasse station in Berlin took 24,576 marks, the Alexander Platz station IS.- 779 marks, the Silesian station 12*204 marks and the Potsdam statioa &gSl marks.--American Register. , Dueling In Ruaala.
