You see, the chemists having abandoned the manufactil re of gold as hopeless are trying now t ^ : to make nrecious stones artificially, and with some success.

An English expti; menter first acaccorDnlish<;d the feat and it has been successfully repeated many tunes since. The m only trouble is that the diamonds turned out by chemical artifice are almost microscopic and therefore practically worthless. R"V\ "But other stones can be made artifi|r ' daily of profitable size?" ' A few. No real gem. however, except the diamond, has been fairly reproduced exactly as it is found in nature, though imitations arc plentiful enough. The stones made by the chemists, i?

Xor was the announcement altogether without truth, as appeared from the report made on the subject by the celebrated Professor Friedel, of the French Institute, who said that he found the chemical composition, density, crys. talline form and refractive power of the artificial specimens to correspond in every respect with the natural ruby.

The greatest j ruby fields in the -world are those of Bunnah. where the natives have for centuries been digging for them in the ! most primitive and therefore most unprofitable manner. They are found in quantities in successive strata, with layers of earth and clay between at a little depth below the surface soil.

The damage they do is more in abstracting moisture from the soil than plant food, though what fertility they take is usually near the surface, and therefore possesses greater value for crops. The common rag weed has very little value as a manure. Pig weed grows only in rich soil, and it contains, more valuable plant food than any other plant; but it takes it mainly from near the surface. Clover has the great advantage as green manure of drawing fertility from the subsoil.? Prairie Farmer. RYE FOR PASTURAGE. Rye sown in September will make during the autumn enough grazing to be profitable. This grazing has an extra value because it comes when other green feed is very scarce. The rye may be grazed during the winter when not buricd bv snow, and uasturinsr on it may be gin early in spring and continue until the last of May, when the ground can be broken and put in corn. A better crop of corn will be grown than if the rye had not been on the ground. Or the rye may be pastured until June 15, and the animals taken off, when it will set considerable grain. The land may then be put in turnips. Rye used in this way makes enough feed to pay well for the use of the land, and also purifies and recuperates the ground. It can be used to especial advantage in corners cut off by creeks, or otherwise so formed that culti vation is difficult. BEARING CALVES. E. D. Richards, writing to the American Cultivator, says: In the earlier days 'it -cas the general practice amon<j dairy farmers to allow the calf- to run -with its dam during the first season. Such a method is too expensive for these days. Again, it works great damage to the cow if she is to be kept for the dairy. "When the dam's bag becomes healthy and in normal condition, the sooner the calf is removed from her side the better for the cow. In order to give the calf a good Btart, it is well to let it drink part of the mother's milk warm from the cow, but after a few days give skim milk. It is advisable to scald the milk for a few days to prevent sours, which are inclined to trouble calves raised by hand. Some dairymen feed calves upon whey and turn them out to grass. Such calves, if they live at all until time to go to the barn are seldom wortn wintering, ljong experience nziuj observation have confirmed me_jjt-1ilie belief that the best and r^Sstsuscessful way to raise calves by han;d is the English custom of keeping themjin. the barn the first season; give them a 4mall yard where they may go to and frofca their pen at pleasure and take the fresh air. Keep ife^r^quarteK. strictlyj^fean, feed them upon skim milk either sweet or sour, I prefer it sour, give them all the good hay | that they will eat, and they will toon learn to eat quite a quantity. Milk does not i take the place of water. They should I have fresh water dailv. A few STOund oats daily will give them a fine start the first season. The future of any animal depends greatly upon the start it gets the first year. Calves need salt. The best way to salt them is to place a lump of mineral salt within their reach then they will lap it as they need. A box of fresh loam is also an excellent thing to place within their reach. Calves fed upon milk crave something of this sort.

The main point ( which I wish to call attention to is the! benefit to be derived from keeping calves | in the barnyard the first year in preference to turning them to grass. I have never seen calves which are put out to grass as forward and strong in the fall as those which are kept in and treated as above indicated. HARMFUL WHITEWASH. I have long distrusted the broad claims made for the much-recommended whitewashing of poultry-houses for prevention or extermination of the vermin which it ts claimed, says O. S. Bliss in the New York Tribune, habitually infest them and their occupants. I have had no personal experience with it, because I never fail to accomplish the purpose by easier, cheaper and more permanently effective mean3 than the advocates of whitewashing have ever ventured to claim for it. I have, however, taken UCU.U3 IVUA. WiG iUaib^l UU) ni?uvuu prejudice, and am now persuaded that so far from accomplishing any real good of itself, the -whitewash is actually harmful. It may be admitted that some immediate benefit appears to be gained, as would, be the case with any other substance so thoroughly applied to ey^ry crack and crevice, but it remains true, nevertheless, that the whitewash is a protector rather | than an exterminator of the vermin.

Carbolic acid, kerosene and var- , ious other things which of themselves are destructive of insect life are put into > the whitewash, but their destructive qualities are all more or less neutralized j and rendered ineffective by dilution. t In a few hours the wash becomes dried as h&Miiess as sand, every destructive agentiiHt-^eing effectually locked up.

ABOUT SHOEING HORSES. A correspondent of the Journal of Agrirulture says: I am convinced,both by exAVvpawofi/Mi 'fTinf. JCilvliW auu v.ii4w 0 , :>rses is not only a great inconvenience i jut I also say it is a nuisance to the horse. Df course this is intended for farmers, as :ity horses that are constantly kept on i lard, stony pavements need to be shod. 3ut a farmer's horses, for either farm work or road, do not need to be shod jonsiairtly. The less the better, and my >elief is, no shoeing still better. The lorse in its natural state has a good hoof ind by a little application and patience1 it i&n be made to be as pliable as rubber tnd as hard as steel. The horses in Iceand are not shod and they travel over jtony roads or ice as easily as our horses I rravel on our smooth roads with their iostly new steel shoes for which hundreds )f dollars are annually spent. In our SVestern States we seldom see a macadamzed road, and even then there are not nany farmers that keep a team for specal road use. Many farmers make the nistake in I elieving that if they want to ieep a nimble footed horse that they lave to keep him shod. But this is a *rave mistake. To keep a horse conjtantly shod he needs to renew his shoeits: at intervals. Such is dangerous lad liable to injure the hoof, and perhaps maim him for life. Many lorses' legs are ruined when young - - ' -1 I >n account oi too lrequent ana careless shoeing. By negligence a horse .s sometimes allowed to wear the )ld shoe for a long period without renewing. Such negligence is abusing the lorse greatly, and very often is the cause >f lame feet. And again, how can a horse De worked with the same shoes on, on dry )r muddy roads, or working on soft plowed grouDd without being quite exhausted at times? I have a six year old ?am that never had a shoe under their feet and never will have as long as they ire in my possession. Still I never hesi ate to iitch them to the plow or buggy, >r drive them over soft or hard roads in :heir own shoes. My other horses have ;o be shod once in a while because they ;vere used to it when younger, or their ioofs will crack or become sore. But I nake the practice never to shoe young lorses, and I believe that they will do better than those that are kept constantly >hod. A young horse has always good, tound hoofs, unless accidents occur, and Dy a little attention they can be kept found as long as the horse lives. The rrmiKip. Hps in vouno- horses when they '*" 1 - o ire shod too young. Young horses as a general thing are vigorous and we take a iancy that they can be driven hard be;ause they are young, and to keep their loofs and leg$ sound they must be kept .hod. My advice is: Do not drive the foung horse too much at first. Take the ilder horses for road use and leave the younger horses for farm use till they have reached the stage of maturity. This will )e the means of saving many dollars anlually. When the weather is dry a good ;hing is to lead the horse in a pool of ivater for an hour or so once m a while io as to give the hoof a thorough soakhg. FARM AND GARDEN NOW^--^ Dispose of all sur^ug-^^ckerels while ;hey will pass ag-^priDg chickens. T-f nrn!r?V^ A? +VlO D(T/TC 171 uxxic: wic nwguu vi ^uv consideration, the duck lays more than ;he hen.

With fall weather come many duties. 1 general overhauling of all buildings, lests and roots, and a liberal application >f white wash and carbolic acid. As a safeguard, against lice, ail young .nrkeys should be well dusted, at least mce a week, with fresh ,inseet powder, md especially in the down and under ;heir wings. As soon as the sweet corn is gathered, jut up the stalks and feed to the cow if pu do not save for winter. They will nake more- milk if cut now instead of rtanding till all dried up. All forage and grain crops may be prelerved in the silo. The silo adds very naterially to the palateableness, digestibility and nutritiousness of many articles >f food and detracts from none. Camphorated oil is one of the best kings for roup or swelled head; you can jet it at any druggist's and apply it with ;he finger to the inflamed parts. Vinegar reduced one-nan mm warm water is nisu jood. It is not the number of acres that a ' nan skims over that makes him either a arge or a successful farmer. It is what le makes net, above cost of production, :or his' own toil and interest on the capial invested. The labor of the garden should be nauajred like the labor of the farm. If he cornfield becomes weedy extra help is hired to clean it out; the boys are not jxpected to do it out of reasonable working hours. It should be the same with' ;he garden. Don't throw away the chicken droppings. The spring will bring forth a need for them. Early vegetables and ihrubberv thrive wonderfully when the roots are sprinkled lightly with it. Some reduce to a liquid form before applying :o tender plants. Once in a full year should be considered often enough for a milker to bear a :alf. and for voun<rer cows once in from J ^ c fourteen to sixteenth months. Older :ows -who may be considered fully developed and of established habit, cows iight or ten years of age may, if tlieir waives are of great value, be put to rapid ^reeding. If the weather is cold and there is nc :ain or sleet, snow or cutting wind, the :ow will not bo likely to shrink any iu nilk production if well fed. It is the nl<^ winrl ?nrl rai:ie and snftw ?nd slefci ;hat do the mischief, and if the cow is ;xposed to sneh weather there will doubt, ess be a shrinkage of milk and butter, it natters not how well fed.

JJK. TAJLMAUiiu > ? ? 1'HE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY ; SERMON. Text: 11 He shall have dominion from sea to sea."?Psalms bcrii., 8. What, trrn s?as jira referred to? Some might say that the text meant that Christ was to reign over all the land between the Arabian Sea and Caspian Sea, or between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, or between the Black Sea and th. "North Sea. No; in such case my text would have named them. It meant from any large body of water on the earth clear across to any other large body, of water. And so I have a right to read it: K? shall have dominion from the Atlantic Sea to the Pacific Sea. My theme is, America for God! First, consider the immensity of this possession. If it were only a small tract of land capable of nothing better than sage brush and with ability only to support prairio clogs, I should not have much enthusiasm in wanting Christ to have it added to his dominion. But its immensity and affluence no one can imagine unless, in immigrant wagon or stage coach or in rail train of the Union v?wi.u X iUJllHJ Ui tliC iivi WiCI ii X UI bUO V^CViiadian Pacific or the Southern Pacific, he has traversed it. Having been privileged six times to cross this continent, and twice this summer, I have come to some - appreciation of its magnitude. California, -which I supposed in boyhood from its size on the map, -was a few yards across, a ridge of laud on which one must walk cautiously lest he hit his head against the Sierra Nevada on one side or slip off into the Pacific waters on the other, California. the thin slice of land as I supposed it to be in boyhood, I have found it to be larger than all the States of New England and all New York State and all Pennsylvania added together; and if you add them together their srjuare miles fall far short of California. North and South Dakota, Montana and Washington Territory, to be, launched next winter into statehood, will be giants at their birth. Let the Congress of the United States strain a point and soon admit also Idaho and Wyoming and New Mexico. What is the use keeping them out in the cold any longer? Let us have the whole continent divided into States with Senatoriai and Congressional Representatives and we will all be happy together. If some of them have not quite the requisite number of people, fix up the Constitution to suit these cases. Even Utah will UJ U.i V kJ HJalS pv/ijr OWU l/W iVt*Cljr cv enter. Monogamy lias triumphed in parts of Utah and wul probably triumph at this fall election in Salt Lake City. Turn all the Territories into States andif some of the sisters are smaller than the elder sisters, give them time and they will soon be as large as any of them. Because some of the daughters of a family may be five feet in stature and the others only four feet, do not let the daughters five feet high shut the door in the faces of those who are only four feet high. Among the dying utterances of our good friend, the wise statesman and great author, the brilliant orator and magnificent soul, S. S. Cox, was the expressed determintion to move next winter in Congress for the tranfereuce of other Territories into States. "But," says some one, "in calculating the immensity of our continental acreage you must rcmemuer mnv vtisuicauiwvi. utu pucr lie domain arc uncultivated, heaps of day sand, and the 'bad lands' of Montana and the great American desert." I am glad you mentioned that. TVithin twenty-five years there will not be between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts a hundred miles of land not reclaimed either by farmers' plow or miners' crowbar. By irrigation, the waters of the rivers and the showers of heaven in what are called the rainy season will be gathered into great reservoirs and through aque- t ducts let down where and when $he want them. Utah is an parts of taat terntor^^s^fuchware so barren that a spear^U^ass could not havo been raised therein a hundred years are now rich J52*feSucaster County farms of Pennsylvania or "Westchester farms of New York or Somerset Uounty farms or jxew Jersey. Experiments nave proved that ten acres of ground irrigated from waters gathered in great hydro! ogical basins will produce as much as fifty acres from the downpour of i^inas seen in our regions. We have our fi%shets and our droughts, but in those lands which are to be scientifically irrigated there will be neither freshets nor droughts. As you take a pitcher and get it full of water and then set it on a table and take a drink out of it when you are thirsty and' never think of drinking a piteberful all at once, so Montana and "Wyoming and Idaho will catch *-1 l-ninrr ooacrxn on/3 foVo nn IHU l ^LLUL^ UJL Li-iG.14 J o&ncvu u>uu i/i*uw U^/ all the waters of their rivers in great pitchers of reservoirs and drink out of them whenever they will and refresh their land whenever they will. The work has already been grandly begun by the United States Government. Over four hundred lakes have already been officially taken possession of by the nation for the great enterprr of irrigation. Rivers that have been rolling idly through these regions, doing nothing on their way to the sea, will be lassoed and corralled and penned up an til such time as the farmers need them. Under the same processes the Ohio, the Mississippi and all the other rivers will be taught to behave themselves better, and great basiifS will be made to catch the surplus of waters in times of freshets and keep them for times of drought. Thn irrigating process by which all the arid lands between "the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are to be fertilized is no new experiment. It has been going on successfully hundreds of years, in Spain, in China, j in India, in .Russia, m Jagypt. About eight hundred millions of people of the earth to-day are kept alive by food raised on irrigated land. And here we have allowed to lie waste, given up to rattlesnake and bat and prairio dog, lands enough to support whole nations or industrious popular tion. The work begun will be consummated. Here and there exceptional lands may be stubborn and refuse to yield any wheat or corn from their hard fists, but if the hoe fail to make an impression, the miner's pickax will discover the rea< son for it and bring up from beneath those unproductive surfaces coal and iron and lead and copper and silver and gold. God speed i o?*/\Vi<rie+c ?nf? f.Vio thfl en?i- ! neers and the senatorialjcommissions, and the | capitalists and the new settlers, and the husbandmen who put their brain and hand and heart to this transfiguration of the American continent! But while I speak of the immensity of tb.a continent, I must remark it is not an im mensity of monotone or tameness. The larger .-.ome countries arev the worse for the ; world. This continent is not more remarka- ; bio for its magnitude than for its wonders of construction. What a pity the United States Government did not take possession of Yoser mite, California, as it has of Yellowstone, Wyoming, and of Niagara Falls, New York! Yosemite and the adjoining California ro i gions! VV ho that lias seen wiem can unniv : of them without having his blood tingle? Trees now standing there that were old when Christ lived. These monarchs of foliage reigned before Caesar or Alexander, and the next thousand years will not shatter their scepter. They are the masts of the continent, their canvas spread on the winds while the old ship bears on its way through the ages. Their size, of which travelers often speak, does not affect me so much j as their longevity. Though .-so old now, the branches of some of them will crackle in the last conflagration of theplanot. That Valley of the Yosemite is eight mil$s long and a half mile wide and three thousand feet deep. It seems as if it had been the meaning of Omnipotence to crowd into as small a place as possible some of the most stupendous scenery of the world. Some of the cliffs you do not stop to measure by feet, for they are literally a mile high, Steep so that neither foot of man nor beast ever scaled them, they stand in everlasting defiance.

Here, hang up and let down and spread abroad, are all the colors of land and sea and sky. Upholstering of the Lord God Almighty. Best work of the Architect of worlds. Sculpturing by the Infinite. Masonry by an omnipotent trowel. Yellow! You never saw yellow unless you saw it there. Red! You never saw red unless you saw it there. Violet! You never saw violet unless you saw it there.

Gothic arches, Corinthian capitals and Egyptian basilicas build before human architecture was born. Huge fortifications of granite constructed before war forgad its first cannon.

For tho^g^ pf years ^ IllilliitiX'Hf ?g unveiled to human >*igat, ta? elements were busy, and tne geysers were hewing away with their hot chisel, and glaciers were pounding with their cola hammers, and hurricanes were cleaving with their lightning stro" es, and" hailstones giving the finishing touches, and after all these forces of nature had done their best, in our century the curtain dropped and the world had anew and divinely inspired revelation, the Old Testament written on papyrus, the New Testament written on parenment, and now this last Testament written on the rocks. "Rnnnnnc* avak atia. rvf +ha T Innlr^n until i could not get my breath, then retreating to a less exposed place I looked down again. Down there is a pillar of rock that in certain conditions of the atmosphere looks like a pillar of blood. Yonder are fifty feet of emerald on a base of five hundred feet of opal. Wall of chalk resting on pedestals of beryl. Turrets of light tumbling on floors of iiarkness. The brown brightening into golden. Snow of crystal melting into fire of carbuncle. Flaming red cooling into russet. Cold blue warming into saffron. Dull gray kindling into solferino. Morning twilight flushing midnight shadows. Auroras crouching among rocks. ' Yonder'is' an eagle's nest on a shaft of basalt. Through an eyeglass we see it among thayouijg eagles, but the stoutest arm of our group cannot hurl a stone near enough to disturb the feather ad domesticity. Yonder are heights that would be chilisd with horror but for the warm robe of forest foliage with which they are enwrapped. Altars of worship at ivhich nations might kneel. Domes of chalcedony on temples of porphyry. See ell this carnage of color up and down the cliffs: it must nave been the battle field o? tne war of the elements. Here are all the colors of the wall of heaven, neither the sapphire nor the chrysolite nor the topaz nop the jascinth, nor the amethyst nor the jasper nor the twelve gates of twelve pearls, wantin p-. If soirits bound from earth to heaven could pass up by way of this cany on, the dasiiof heavenly beauty would not be so overpowering. It would only be from glory to glory. Ascent through such earthly scenery in which the crystal is go bright and the red so flaming would be fit preparation for the Vjspa of glass mingled with tiro." Standing there' in the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone Park on the morning of August 9, for the most part we held our peace, tnt aiter a while it flashed upon me with such power I could not help but say to mv comrades: ' What a Hall this would be for the last Judgment F See that mighty cascade with the rainbows at the foot of it. Those waters congealed and transfixed with the agitations oi that day, what a place fhey would make for the shMsg feet of a Judge of auick and dead. And those rainbows look now ake the crowns to be cast at his feet. At the bottom pf this great canyon is a floor on which the nationa of the earth might stand and all up and down these galleries of rock the nations of heaven might sit. And what reverbration of archangels' trumpets there would be through all these gorges and from all the^e caverns and ovor all these heights.' Why should not the greatest of all the days the world shall ever see close amid the grandest scenery Omnipotence ever built? Oh, the sweep of the American continent! Sailing up Pugefc Sound, its shores so bold that for fifteen hundred miles a ship's prow would touch the shore before its keel touched the bottom, I said: "This is the Mediterranean of America." Visiting Portland and Tacorua and Seattle and Victoria and Fort Townsend and Vancouvers and other cities of that northwest region I ' thought to myself : These are the Bos- < tons, New Yorks, Charlestons and Savannahs - * ?

Only Behring Straits separate us from Asia, and these will be'"'-! spanned by ^Oj^brfire-.anot.her < century ^^3es,. and probably long before P that. Sae thirty-six ihiles of water between t^es^two continents are not all deep sea, 1 'out have three islands and there are . also 3 shoals which will allow piers' for bridges, and for the most of the W^Y the water is only ; about twenty fathoms deep. ' . The Americo-Asiatic bridge which will ] yet span those straits will make America, 1 Asia. Europe and Africa one continent. ^ So you see America evangelised, Asia will be evangelized. Europe taking Asia from one J side and America taking it from the other ' side. Our ereat-grandchildren will cross ; that bridge. America and Asia and } Europe all one, what substraction from the pangs of seasickness! and the prophe- ; ctes ill Revelation will be fulfilled, 1 "There shall be no more sea." But do I | mean literally that this American continent is going to be all jrospeiized? I do, Christo- ' pher Columbus, when he went ashore from the Santa llaria, and his second brother ] Alonzo, when he went ashore from the Pinta, ( and his third brother Vincent, when he went ashore from the Nina, took possession of this ] country in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. ] Satan has no more right to this country , than I have to your poe^etbook. To hear i him talk on the roof of the Temple, where he proposed fo give Christ the kingdoms of this 1 world and the glory of them, you might sup- j pose that Satan'-was a great capitalist or that 1 b* was. loaded ap with real estate, when the { old miscreant neVw owned an acre or an inch ' of ground on this planet. For that reason I 1 protest against something I heard and saw , tfcgT simmer and other gammers in Montana Cl I ? and Oregon and Wyoming and Idaho and Colorado and California. They have given devilistic names to many places in the West and Northwest. As soon as you get in Yellowstone Park or California, you have pointed out to you places cursed with such names as "The Devil's Slide," "The Devil's Kitchen," "The Devil's Thumb," "The Devil's Pulpit," "The Devil's Mush Pot," "The Devil's Tea Kettle," "The Devil's Saw Mill." "The Devil's Machine Shop," "The Devil's Gate," and so on. Now, it is very much needed, that geological sur veyor or congressional committee or group of distinguished tourists go through Montana and Wyoming and California and Col* orado and give other names to these places. All these regions belong to th? Lord and to a Christian nation, and away v.ith such Plutonic nomenclature. But how is this continent to be gospalized? The pulpit and a Christian printing press bar nessed together will^ be the mightiest team for the first plow. Not by the power of cold, formalistic theology, not by ecclesiastical technicalities. I am sick of them and the world is sice or tnem. ?sut it will be done by the warm hearted, sympathetic presentation of the fact that Christ is ready to pardon ali our sins and heal all our wounds and ?ave u< both for this world and the next. Let your religion of glaciers crack off and fall into the Gulf Stream and get melted. Take all youi creeds of all denominations and drop out ot them all human phraseology and put in only scriptural phraseology and you wiil see how quick the people will jump after them. On the Columbia River a few days ago we saw the salmon jump clear out of th3 water in different places, I suppose for the purpose of getting the insects. And if when we want to fish for men we could only have the right land of bait they will spring oat above the flood of their sins and sorrows to reach it. rPV?^ "Wvtttirr "M"*vn'c A ccfviqHnnc af America will also do part of the work. All over the continent I saw this summer their new buildings rising. In Vancouver's I asked: "What are you going to put on that sightly place?' The answer was: "A Young Men's Christian Association building." At Lincoln,Heb., I said; "What at they making those excavations for?' Answer: "For our Young Men's Christian Association building.^ At Des Moines, Iowa, I saw a noblQ structure rising and I asked for what purpose it was being built, and they told me for the Young Men's Christian Association. These institutions are going to take the young men of this nation for God. These institutions seem in better favor with God and man than ever before. Business men and capitalists are awaking to the fact that +VlATT A4T> As\ Vvaf+Al* i* ?

These institutions will get our young men all over the land into a stampede for heaven. Thus we will all in some way help on the work, you with your tea talents, 1 with five, somebody else with three. It is estimated that to irrigate the arid and desert lands of America as they ought to be irrigated, it will cost aoout one hundred million dollars to gather the watersinto reservoirs. As much contribution and effort as that would Irrigate with Gospel influences all the waste places of this continent Let us by prayer anc contribution and right living all help to fil the reservoirs.

One night he was attacked by a giant tarantula and was found dead the next morning. The tarantula was subsequently captured and is now on exhibition. It is four inches. A London shoemaker has invented a boot to make small people appeal- tall. The invention is an - odd and ingenious one. Instead of tacking six inches onto a person's heel, a pair of entirely false feet made of cork are put into the shoes. \\%en the wearer gets into them he ox. she is raised according to the inches oi cork. Of course, in this invention the original foot is made to combine with the cork ono under the leather in such a manner that the line of demarcation is aot perceptible. - j The Restless Columbians. The Columbians of Central America i-ce naturally a restless people.

Eighty-five per cent, of the InVioHTfantQ u w?' iomnrronf: cnVxmi<!?it7f> peons, of the obongnal or mixed nativity, , cvho care very little who govern them, or in -what manner they are governed; but. they make good soldiers, and are willing to fight under one leader, and for one principle, as for another. They are obedient to the commands of their officers, icd being fond of activity and excitement, reckless of their own iives, and regardless of the lives of others, can always be relied upon to create as much dis:urbance and cause as much disaster as 1 possible whenever the orders are given. The remaining fifteen per cent, of the population are to a large degree highly educated men. and most of them make politics more or less of a profession. With the exception of Peru, which is populated largely by a race of slaves, the rther South American republics seem to be doing better.

A system of building houses entirely of sheet iron has been communicated to the Society of Architecture in Paris. The walls, partitions, roofs, and wainscoting are composed of double metalic sheets, separated by an air mattress, which is surrounded by different non-conductors of heat. The street cars at Lyons, in France,. are hereafter to be operated by a series 01 compressed air, which has been found to work satisfactorily in Nantes and other French cities. The cars are said to run smoothly and with but little -noise, while the machinery is simple and *does not require u skilled mechanic to superintend it. The cost is less than with horses, steam or electricity. uIt is not intellectual work that injures I the brain," says tlie London Hospital, j "but emotional excitement.
