There are 4,200 men hard at work on the fourteen buildings which are to be erected on the “’orld’s Fair grounds at Chicago. The first train run in Great Britain was between Stockton and Darlington on Sep- tember 27, 1325. George Stephenson was the driver, and the speed was not more than live miles an hour. In Vienna there is a club of rich men pledg- ed to marry poor girls. If amember marries a rich girl he is lined £400, the money being presented to some worthy impccunious couple engaged to be married. There are twenty-five railway tunnels in England between one and two miles long, four over two miles, two just three miles, and oneâ€"the Severn on the Great Western Railwayâ€"is over four and a-half miles long. The first English Parliament was opened 627 years ago. Camels can stand heat and cold, but they perish quickly in a moist atmosphere. The household maintained by the Queen of England consists of nearly 1,000 per- sons. Out of the 210,010 domestic servants in London, it is cslllllltcd that 10,000 are al- ways out of employment. Crenution is now regarded by scientists throughout the world as the most sanitary mode in which to dispose of the dead. An electrical stop watch has been tested in a bicycle race, where it. determined the winner, although he was only one-hundredth of a second ahead. The latest whim for the owners of dogs is to make them wear shoes in the house for the purpose of protecting the polished floors. They are made of Chamois, with leather soles. A new parasite has been discovered which infests paper money, and is found nowhere else. It is invisible to the unassisted eye, does not attach itself to persons, but multi- plies at a rapid rate. There are nearly 3,000 stitches in a pair of huudsewn boots. The Hindoo nose-ting is to be abandoned, and a flower worn instead in the nose of the Indian woman. Mortality from consumption is rather higher in Scotland than in England, and. in England than in Ireland. The prejudice against the wearing of whiskers is becoming very marked in the leading clubs and restaurants of New York City. Careful investigation in Prussia. reveals the remarkable fact that the average life of Jews in Prussia is five years longer than that of Christians. Russia appears, amid all her difficulties, to be making a determined attempt to com- plete the Trans-Siberian Railway. Some 12,000mcn are employed; of these 2,500 are soldiers, 900 men condemned to penal. servitude, 300 political prisoners, 400 Rus sian navvies, 1,700 Chinese and Coreans, and 425 stone masons and stonecutters. Chinese ingenuity seems equal to every emergency. A man-of-warattackcd a China- ese junk engaged in illegal traffic, and was eager to capture the crew alive. The sailors on the junk threw overbroad thousands of cocoanuts, and then leaped among them.

Lcuwenhoek has computed that 10,000 threads of the web of afullgrown spider are not larger than a single hair of a man’s beard. He calculates that when young spiders be- gin to spin, 400 of their threads are not lar- ger than one from a full-sized insect. If this be a fact 4,000,000 webs of a young spider pro not as large as a single hair from a man’s ace. The practice of cremation is on the in- crease in Germany. in addition to the crematorium which has been in operation at Gotha since 1877, and where from five to six hundred bodies are now cremated every year, a new establishment of the same kind has been consecrated at Ohlsdorf. Another Crematory will be opened in Octo- her at Carlsruhe, making the third in Ger- many. In Jerusalem the finest, and, in fact the only, hotel is kept and owned by a Phila- delphiau. Several years ago he visited the ancient city, and saw that a good hotel would pay, and he at once erected a first- class hostelry. Pilgrims from every land, bound to Jerusalem, were only too glad to find a clean, comfortable hotel so far away from home, and it is now royally patronized by travellers. Guides are kept who are experts in Biblical history, and who pilot guests to all points of interest. Inventors claim that surfaces of alumin- ium may be successfully soldered to each other, and to other metallic surfaces, by using silver chloride as a flux in conjunc~ tion with ordinary solder. The pieces of metal, one or both of which are aluminium, are flawed in the relative position required in t a joint, finely-powdered fused silver chloride spread along the line of junction, and solder melted on with a blowpipo or other device. The joints are thus easily and rapidly obtained, and become hard and perfectl sound on setting, and neither crack, akc, nor check. The old penalty against a German soldier or sailor of the standing army or navy who left the fatherland was a fine of 200 marks or forty davs‘ imprisonment, That has now been rain to a thousand marks’ line, or four months.

It was the most expensive expedition ever organized for Australian exploration. It was fitted out by Sir Thomas Elder, and it , started northward into the desert region to carry out a plan of explorations formulated by the Royal Geographical Society of Aus- tralia. The expedition has disbanded, and most of its members are in Adelaide, the officers having been dissatisfied with the lleadership of Mr. Lindsay. They complain of incompatibility of temper, and declare that he did not treat them with confidence - _ , or genialit-y.

Have You Thought of It? For four thousand years or more the world groaned, suffered, and fumed about its corns, for there was no positive reliefâ€"no certain and painless cure until Dr. Scott Putnam gave to the world his great Corn Extractor, During the past year newspapers in vari- ous parts of the countrK have chronicled ac- counts of marvellous cures from the use of a medicine known as Dr. “'illiams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. These remarkable cures, many of them in cases hitherto held by medical science tobc incurable, were known as the Hamilton miracle, the Cape Breton miracle; the Detroit mirale, the Saratoga C0. miracle, etc., and were vouched for by such leading newspapers as the Toronto Globe, Hamilton Times, Hamilton Specta- tor, Halifax Hcrald, Detroit News, Albany N.

In the far interior not a drop of rain had fallen for several years. \Vhen they reached the sandy wastes which they were to traverse, they discovered that sources of water from which earlier explorers had drawn were wholly dried up. It was decided to be impossible to follow out the programme of crossing the desert country almost due west between the tracks of Giles and Forrest. Only two alternatives were left. The party must either retreat and Perhaps the chief reason for the dismal At the age of 14, said Mr. Ramsay, my daughter was attack» subsmum' ed by chorea, more commonly known as St. Vitus dance. Chorea, it may ‘be said, is a diseased condition of the nervous system which may result from feebleness of con- stitution, overstudy, or from a shock or fright, leaving the patient in a more or less helpless condition, control of the limbs being lost. The trouble was brought on through a fright she received at a fire which occurred in our neighborhood. That was more than seven years ago, and those seven years have been filled with untold misery to NG. CLEANSING. HEALING.

They made that journey in the midst of torrid heat, with only a. quart and a half of water a day for each man, and with so scanty a supply for the camels that they were almost dead by the time they reached the Victoria Springs. To the utter dismay of the explorers they found that the verdant oasis, as described by Giles, was scorched and barren. Not a drop of water could be found. They wore in danger of speedy death unless they soon obtained water. lVith frantic desperation they began to dig in one of the bellows, and when they reached a depth of twenty feel; they came to water.

Those who know my daughter, and have seen the re- markable change which the use of Pink Pills have wrought, can scarcely believe it, but it is a solemn fact, and my only regret is that I did not know of the wonderful medicine long ago. Since my daughter be- gan to improve Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been used by many of our friends and neighbors, and I do not know of a single case in which they have not proved benefi- ciul. The above are the facts of the case as re- lated by Mr. Ramsay, and they certainly bear the strongest testimony to the great curative properties of Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills. The facts are also vouched for by neigh- bors, including the family of Mr. J. S.
