R PACTS FOR GLOBE TROTTERS. Things of General Interest Not Generally - Known to Tourists. The German military budget oon- taing an item of £1,750 for the breed­ ing, training, and maintenance of car­ rier pigeons. From Russia it is reported that a me­ teoric stone which recently dropped from the heavens oontained a number of diamonds. Three, Englishmen now hare statues in France--Lord Brougham at Cannes, Jenner at Boulogne-sur-Mer, and Shakspeare in Paris. It is worthy of note that one-eighth of all classes of blindness in Russia are due to smallpox, and one-half only to direct eye diseases. The deposits in tlie French Savings Bank in 1888 increased from 118,568,- 976 francs to 129,949,900 francs. The depositors increased from 547,898 to 561,540. It is stated that more than 2,000,000 glass eyes are made every year in Ger­ many and Switzerland, while one French house manufactures 300,000 of them annually. Licensed houses have decreased in Holland during recent years by nearly one-fourth, no fewer than 12,000 Out of r its former 47,000 public houses have been closed by the State. Archdeacon Pliilpot, of Mina Lodge, Oak Hill, Surbiton, is the oldest living clergyman in the Church of England. He is in his 100th year. He graduated as far back as 1812, According to the annual report of the Salvation Army, in the United King­ dom they use 1,575 buildings, with seating accommodation for 700,500 per­ sons, the rent roll being £100,000. In France no novel, however popular Sthe author, is published at a higher price than three shillings, and it is only when a book has made a hit that it is brought out at an enhanced charge. A monster blast has just taken place in a granite quarry on the Duke of Ar­ gyll's Scotch estate. Five tons of gun- • powder were deposited in an excavated chamber, and when fired displaoed 75,- 000 tons of granite. England has more than half the oot- ton spindles of the world, and uses more than half the cotton worked by them, while English spinning is un­ rivalled in the excellence of its produc­ tion and the cheapness of its price. The firm of Bass is said to have £750,- '000 invested in casks, uses a hundred tons of hops a week at a cost of from ten to thirty guineas a hundredweight, and has three breweries in the town of Burton, one of which alone cost £90,000 to build. An extraordinary collection was =lnade in Blackburn the other day, when sermons were preached at the St. George's Presbvterian Church in that town. The sum of £1,000 was asked for, but over £1,222 were collected at the three services. There is, perhaps, not a city in Eu­ rope where more drink is consumed than in St. Petersburg. The popula­ tion is considerably short of one million, yet they drink every day 10,000 bottles of wine, 1,500,000 pints of ale, and 1,600,000 glasses of vile spirituous liquor known in* the country by the name of vodkL Of the 180,000 or 200,000 foreigners believed to be in Paris, 170,262 have made the necessary declaration of resi­ dence. Of these 2,302 are Americans, 7,668 English, 26,109 Germans, 43,712 Belgians, 21,144 Swiss, 8,488 Russians, 5,758 Austrians, 2,763 Spaniards, and 24,178 Italians. Forty-nine different nationalities are represented, the list containing natives of even such distant countries as Deliomey, Paraguay, Persia, Siam, and Nubia. Yellow Fever Microbes, A yellow fever microbe has life ap­ pearance of three joints of sugar cane. 1 got them fi'om Washington in a glass tube that somewhat resembled a gourd, says a well known doctor. The tiny microbes are placed in the big end, but by looking at it you oould never tell there was anything but air in it. The small end is sealed up and the microbes are in there, though apparently dead. Some microbes live in such places for twenty years. We will suppose, now, that we want to look at some of them under the microscope. Upon the little glass slide we put a drop of gelatine of the consistency that will not run. We take a cambric needle, and after heating it, to destroy all microbes that may be in the air, we quickly break the seal of the glass tube and insert the needle, drawing it out quickly and resealing the neck of the tube. We Insert the needle in the drop of gelatine on the side, and quickly put on the little cover to shut out snch germs or microbes that mav be floating about in the air. Then we place the slide in the microscope. In forty-five minutes the microbes have fully arou..od from their Rip Yan Winkle .sleep, and now you see what cu­ rious things tlier are. As I said before, they resemble three jpints of sugar cane, but the joints are not straight but at opposite angles. Take this fellow, for instance, and you see a joint drops off, leaving him with two joints. Presently another joint joins on the dropped joint, and by this time a third appears on number one. Now look at number two, ana there is a third joint. Now a joint drops from number one, and by the time it gains another joint number two drops a joint, and this, with the joint from number two, join together, and there is microbe number three. Another joint grows on numbers one and two, and one crops from number three, and these, joining together, make microbe number four, and so they go on until the little drop of gelatine is „a working, seething mass of microbes. Now, these microbes are in the blood of a yellow fever patient, and there is where they live. They get in a blood corpuscle, and eat out all the red part, as a darky eats out the red meat of a watermelon, and the blood is then a drop of clear fluid. To give you an idea of how many you can crowd into a cor­ puscle of blood, let me say that it takes 3,200 corpuscles to make an inch. Well, you pan Btring just 150,000 microbes across the diameter of a corpuscle, con­ sequently you can get billions after billions of microbes in a drop of blood. The theory is that these microbes eat up one's blood so fast as to take it away from him in a very short time. Some men can stand the letting of more blood than others, and consequently some men recover from the yellow fever .--Herald, of Health. A Lark's Far-Rcacliiug Voice. Mr. J. S. Wood says in the Natural- ist: "The lark ascends until it looks no larger than a midge, and can with difficulty be seen by the unaided eye, and yet every note will be clearly audi­ ble to persons who are fully half a mile from the nest over which the bird utters its song. Moreover, it never ceases to sing for a moment, a feat which seems wonderful to us human beings, who I find that a song of six or seven minutes in length, though interspersed with rests and pauses, is more than trying. Even a practiced public speaker, though he can pause at the end of each sen­ tence, finds the applause of the audiencf a very welcome relief. Moreover, tha ginger and speaker need to use no exer­ tion save exercising their voices. Ye! the bird will pour out a continuous song of nearly twenty minutes in length, .and all the time has to support itself in the air by constant use of its wings." ' . CO«L ^ : la 1863, Gen. Franklin was put fn military command of an expedition against Sabine Pass, on the coast oi Texas. The expedition was not suc­ cessful, and the ships returned to New Orleans. On the way thither there was one night a collision between a large ffea-going steamer and the light river- boat used for headquarters. What fol­ lowed is narrated by an officer of Gen. Franklin's staff: One side was apparently smashed in. A panic seized the crew; captain, pilot, engineer, hands, all rushed for the steamer. Most of our headquarters oompany and officers followed the ex­ ample. I was reading in the cabin. The crash and the cries attracted my attention. I went on deck, and tried for a moment to restore order, but in vain. The soldiers on the steamer shouted: * ^ "Come OD board! come on board! Yon're sinking ! There's a great hole in your side!" The waves dashed our little boat against the side of the steamer, and the light planks of the wheel-house were grinding and crashing. I can easily un­ derstand how contagious is a panic. It was with a great effort I restrained my­ self from following the example set me. I knew, however, that my place was with the General, and I went in search of him. He was on the hurricane-deck, seated on the Bkv-light, quietly smoking a cigar. "General,* said I, "aren't you going to leave her ?" ' "I don't believe shell sink," he re­ plied. "But Bhe is an abandoned ship, sir ; every one has left her." "Have they? are you sure?" 'Til make sure," I replied; and going to the wheel-house, I found it deserted. Then I looked into the engine-room--I remember the engine looked 90 grim and stiff in its solitude. When I reported the state of affairs to Franklin he consented to go. We found a quiet place aft, and as the waves tossed our light vessel up to a level with the steamer, he sprung upon her deck. I attempted to follow, but th$ vessel was not tossed high enough. So I watched my chance, and plunged head-foremost into a port-hole, where friendly hands caught me, and prevented my falling on the deck. But our little steamer would not sink. Franklin at once ordered out the boats, secured the Captain and the crew, and returned on board. The outer shell of the boat was crushed in, and she was leaking badly, but the inner ceiling was unhurt. I think the General never quite forgave me for persuading him to leave her. Old Newgate Prison. It is deemed certain that Newgate Prison will soon be torn down. A Lon­ don newspaper gives its history. So far bach as the reign of King John there was a prison there, maintained by the corporation of the city of London, who had also the Compter, in the Poultry, for the' detention of minor offenders, and who, at a much later period, used Bridewell, near Blackfriars, for the punishment of disorderly apprentices and women. The* ancient prison at Newgate was destroyed by the great fire of London in 1666; another prison was then erected, which was that out of which Jack Sheppard, the notorious housebreaker, contrived to make his escape in the reign of George II. This building was pulled down in 1782 and the one now standing was erected, in different portions, between that date and 1872, the architect ^eing Mr. George Dance, R. A.; but one part was burned down almost as soon as it was built in the Gordon riots of 1780. The outer walls of granite are 3 feet thick; the front in Newgate street is 115 feet long, and that in the Old Bailey is 295 feet, with a stern, imposing aspect. There are two lodges for turnkeys and the keeper's house in the center of the Old Bailey front, behind which is the chapel. The interior of the prison was rearranged in 1857 and 1858 from the designs of Mr. Bunning, the city archi­ tect. The quadrangle, occupied by men convicted of felony, is 124x64 feet, and each of the two wings forms another quadrangle. There are 168 ordinary cells, each measuring 13x7 feet, 9 feet high, with a barred window 3 feet 6 inches high, and 2 feet 6 inches wide; the cells were warmed with, hot air, and the furniture was a hammock bed, slung at night across the width of the cell, a wash-stand with basin, a close- pan, a folding table fixed to the wall, a stool and shelves of slate. Besides these there are eight punishment cells for the refactory and sixteen reception cells. The Forests of the United States. A century ago the entire belt of coun­ try east of the Alleglxenies was aptly de­ scribed as a primeval forest. Here and there the settler's ax had made a clear­ ing for his little farm, but these inroads made comparatively no impression. With the advent of railroads, using thousands of acres each year for ties, and with saw-mills industriously at work on every stream, the forests began to melt away; until of late years an alarm has been raised that the country would soon be denuded. The alarm is uncalled for. It is true that much has been used and more wasted, but the forests that remain are enormous in area, and will fully supply all our na­ tional needs if ordinaiy care is exer­ cised. Separating the States into groups, the six New England States are credited with a forest area of 19,193,028 acres; the four Middle States with 17,630,000; the fourteen Southern States, including Maryland and leaving out Missouri,, with 232,800,000; the nine Western States with 80,358,768; the four Pacific States 52,630,000, and the seven Terri­ tories with 63,034,000. It will thus be seen that of the entire 465,645,896 acres of forest included in this estimate, the fourteen Southern States possess fully one-half. These statistics show that, while the process of denudation has been carried to an un­ healthy extreme in the Eastern, Middle, and a few of the Western States, the forest area still remaining in this coun­ try is a magnificent one. If the estimates of the department are approximately correct, the timber lands of the country, exclusive of Alaska, cover an area equal to fifteen States the size of Pennsylvania-.--Golden Days.

A friend was spending the day with me the other day, and while she was here our pastor called. After he left the friend, said: "Did you ever notice with what respect Mr. Conrad speaks of his wife, and how courteously he treats her at all times ?" I nodded assent and my friend went on: "I suppose my husband is as good a man as ever lived, but his mother did not train him to be courteous to ladies. His pisters were his slaves, and thereby he is spoiled as a husband. I wished I could train several Hundred boys to be husbands for the next generation. Do you suppose they'd consider it their prerogative to drive the girls out of the easiest chair, take the sunniest corner of the room, the best place by the light, throw books, papers, or slippers down for some one to put away, grow up with the idea that a wife must be a valet and the rest of the household stand respect­ fully by to obey orders? You smile, but this is anything but a subject to laugh over. "I really believe that husbands never think how , their unkind ways hurt. They don't realize the difference to us, for instance, in their manner when they come to dinner. All day the wife has been alone with the children and serv­ ants, and is more hungry for a kind word from her husband than an epicu­ rean feast. He comes in just as the din­ ner bell rings. 'For a wonder dinner is once ready on time,' the husband says: Couldn't he have saved the heart Btab by saying: "That's a pleasant sound to a hungry fellow,' and what hinders him from add­ ing, what would be the milk and honey to a weary soul all the rest of the day-- nay, all the rest of her life--'You are a good wife, Cornelia'. And if dinner is not ready why need he say: "Of course not; never is.* In working mottoes for the home why hasn't some one taken Wesley's remade: 'I Need Thee Every Hour?*' "When I thipk I have a hard time I just think of the women who have no servants, but who themselves care for the children, wash, iron, cook, mend, churn, milk, carry wood and water, all for less than an Irish servant girl's wages. Of course men appreciate their wives; of course they do, but they keep their polite manners and courteous ways for--other man's wives. One time James thanked me for saving him room beside me at the concert, and then sort of apologized for being polite by saying he thought it was my sister Mary."--• $Q7istitution. fjatching an Albatross. Every one has heard of the Bailors* superstitious reverence for the alba­ tross. how they would not harm them for worlds, and all that. It may have been true in olden time?, but the modern sailor has very little in com­ mon with Coleridge's "Ancient Mar­ iner." Jack Tar of to-day doesn't mind sailing on Friday, and has verv little reverence for Mother Carey's chickens, or the albatross. Indeed, lie will catch the latter without scruple. Here is a tale of a curious capture: "I was, one day," says a sailor, "fishing off the stern , with a fine twine line, when a large albatross plumped sud­ denly down on my bait and was hooked before I could prevent liim. The ship was barely moving through the water, so that I was able, after a long time, to keep him on afld jblay the big bird right up to the stern. Now came the crisis. Would my line lift him out of the water ? I thought it would. I raised his weight gently, pulled cautiously up --another foot, and I would have been able to grasp the neck. At that mo­ ment he gave a wave'of his wings; the extra resistance broke the twine, and down he flopped into the water, wings extended, but making no effort to leave the spot. For a second or two he lay still under me almost within my reach. Off I wient on to him, seized a wing in my right hand, and found my­ self having a regular rough-and-tumble with the bird in the water. It never offered to bite. I was able to change hands and get the bird by the feet with my right hand; then drawing my breast up over his tail, j grabbed the neck with my left hand. I had a pretty hard tussle to do this, for the bird was very strong and fought firom under me; but when I had the neck in my left hand I let go the feet with my right and took hold of the right wing close to the body. I had only dropped about ten yards astern in doing this, but now the bird swam with me, on his back, and I was able to steer it after the ship. I made great way, overhauled the ship and swam right alongside. A »rope's end was thrown me, and I made the bird fast, let it go, and saw it hauled on board, swimming with the ship. After­ ward, I went up the rope's-end myself, having actually caught and mastered an albatross in the water by hand, a feat in bird pursuit to be proud of as an ornithologist or % sailor."--Golden / Something to Say. Only children feel privileged to in­ dulge in absolute frankness of act and speech. "Can't you speak to Mr. White ?" asked a mother of a little girl, who had steadfastly .refused to make the acquaintance of a disagreeable visitor. The child shook her head. "Oh, do come and tell me what you had for Christmas," said Mr. White, persuasively; but little Mary made no reply. "I have a little girl at home," went on the visitor.
