Mr. Kipling, says the New York Evening Post, certainly takes his own advice, and keeps on trying, the latest thing of his to fall under the eye being something very like nonsense verses to go with William Nicholson's "Al- m ana eh of Twelve Sports."

A most ingenious system is employed by which the director of the Suez ca­ nal can tell at a glance the exact posi­ tion of all vessels passing through it. A model Is placed in the office at Port Said and the whole canal is worked from headquarters by means of the telegraph, the position of each ship being marked by a figure on the model. It is thus made easy to arrange for ves- sels passing each other. » i, - Shake Into Yonr Sbo<i Alton's Foot-Ease, a powder for the feet.

There are a number of plants and flowers which give out a phosphores­ cent light In the dark. Linnaeus first noticed this phenomenon in the com­ mon nasturtium, whose flowers seemed to him to have a faint iridescence at night. Later observations by others showed that the light was stronger af­ ter very sunny days. Among other plants which possess this singular prop­ erty are the marsh lily and the fraxin- ella. The last named secretes a volatile oil which oozes out during hot weather, ^spreads in a thin layer over the flowers^ and forms a vapor which becomes lu­ minous in the darkness. In the coal mines near Dresden grows a species of fungus which "exhibits the appearafice of luminous festoons • of shifting col­ ors. "--La Nature. 'Wm0d' "fStfefcfeit.. The German Government has been making Inquiries from the postmaster general of the United States as to the employment of women in the postal service. In his repoyt the postmaster general states that there are in the Uni­ ted States 167 women employed in the postal department at Washington, 7,070 women postmasters throughout the country, and probably 80,000 women who are assisting in the various post- offices, It is the experience of the Uni­ ted States Government that the ser­ vices of women in the postal depart­ ment have proved almost, if not equal­ ly, as satisfactory as those of the nn>», and among them there are some of the most faithful and efficient servants of the Government. The salaries now paid to women in the department vary from £240 to $1,800 a year. -• 'i"-* Tlle °ldcst Volnuteer. 4 ^ ;; " A N«»w York State doctor, aged If©, Tal­ lin teem] his services to the President re­ cently as an army Surgeon.

Stockholm has a female usurer and she is the worst usurer in the capital. Her victims are chiefly cadets at the lirmy and navy academies whose pock­ et money gives out a long time before the next remittance can be expected. She lives in an elegant residence and to a glass of champagne she generally succeeds in persuading her young cli­ ents to sign papa's or uncle' name to the note--merely as a matter of form. As a rule, papa or uncle has passed through the naval or army academy when a young man and knows the mad­ emoiselle from the days he sowed his wild oats--consequently the drafts or notAt do not go to protest.

The reeeivets of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have turned their attention to the improvement of the grades on the Third division, from Cumberland to Graf­ ton, or rather that portion which lies be­ tween Altamont, the top of the 17-mile grade, and Terra A!ta, where the Cran­ berry grade begins to descend. The line passes through Deer Park and Oakland and crosses what is known as the "Glades" of the Alleghany Mountains. The grades are short and chopny, some of them being 80 to 85 feet to the mile. One of the first pieces of work to be done is now in progress at No. 58 cut, where the grade is being reduced from 81 feet to 42% feet per mile, with equations -for curvature. It is expected that the cutting down of this grade will enable the receiv­ ers to increase the train load from 1,000 tons to 1,300 tons on east-bound trains. One mile of the roadway will be lowered, and it is expected that the work will be completed by the middle of October. • The Coldest Spot. The coldest region of the globe, thht of Werkojank, in Siberia, where the lowest temperature of 0.90 degrees Fahrenheit lias been observed, and the mean of January Is 0.48 degrees, is in­ habited by about ten thousand five hun­ dred people of the native races. In a large part of this region the air is so dry and winds are so rare, that the in­ tensity of ^the cold is not realized. Fur­ ther east there are sometimes terrible storms. In the summer time the tem­ perature sometimes rises to 86 degrees in the shade, while it freezes at night. The latter part of this season is often marked by copious rains and extensive inundations. Vegetation Is scanty. There are no trees. The people hunt fur-bearing animals, fish, and raise cat­ tle and reindeer. It requires about eight cows to support a family, four being milked In the summer and two in the winter. The cattle are fed on hay in the win­ ter, and ape allowed to go out occasion­ ally when it is not too cold, their teats being carefully covered with felt. Milk is the principal food, occasionally sup­ plemented with hares, which are quite abundant. The houses are of wood, covered with clay, and consist of one room, in which the people and their an­ imals live together. The wealthier classes are better provided with lodg­ ing and food. The people are very hos­ pitable, but excessively punctilious con­ cerning points of honor, such as the place at table.

Brooklyn, in near-by join them- one city, which is NEW YORK'S The Citjr Has Was First The people of Staten Island northern towns selves together I* now the Greater' New York. It em­ braces three hundred and forty-one square miles of territory, and Includes a population of nehrly three million four hundred thousand. Besides these, at least another mill­ ion people dwell on the New Jersey side of the Hudson river, quite as near and as closely identified with the great City on Manhattan Island as are those of the northern and eastern suburbs. This makes a population of nearly four and a half millions which may be said to belong to New York, making It not only by far the largest center of hu­ man lif^e and interests in America, but, excepting oply London, the most popu­ lous "spot on tlie globe. How has it happened that this vast cit.vhasgrownupwhereitstand8? Why did not the American metropolis arise somewhere else? Is Its position all an accident, or does history show sound ronsofts for its situation? The earliest settlement here Was merely a t fa ding station that gradually became a small seaport, like a down others along the coast. Before the year 1700 these were so nearly alike that he would have been a wise prophet who truly foretold which would thrive. Indeed, many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis were to be the two great American seaports. Great cities arise at the points where the greatest number of people find it convenient to meet at first for business, and later for pleasure. You cannot force a city to grow In an unnatural or unsuitable situation; and it Is no easier to prevent a city from growing in its proper place. But the conditions that change a village into a big town, and expand the town into a city or metrop­ olis, are not the same in different parts of the globe, and vary with the march of the centuries; so that now many an ancient world-market, like Nineveh or Memphis, has totally disappeared; while towns like Berlin have lately In­ creased with amazing rapidity, after a long history as small and insignificant plaices. As for New York, it has never halted nor gone backward for a mo­ ment since it was fairly sta career in HS23.--St. Nicholas. iftowm Since It r/.-i ja a*) • C! ̂ Reduced Rates to Olios, " Via the Northwestern Line, from stations within 200 miles radius, on account of the Rock River Assembly, to be held at Dixon, July 25-Aug. 11.
