A Singular Collection. l A Canadian gentleman has expended I a vast amount of patience, and shown 1 considerable perseverance, in gathering a collection of buttons of officers of every reeiment and department of the British army. The collection, which comprises 148 buttons, has taken nine years in its formation, and the owner wrote 585 letters to all parts of the globe in .pursuit of his hobby. Londoners drink 90,000 pounds of tea every day. Wise as an Owl. The owl Is said to be the wisest of birds because he keeps both eyes and ears wide open, says nothing and keeps up a good deal of thinking. When sciatica takes hold of a man, he is wisest who says nothing but keeps his eyes and ears open for the best remedy, who thinks and knows tt may result in crippling, and who finds by trial that St. Jacobs Oil is the best known remedy for its treatment and permanent cure. It penetrates to the seat of the excruciating pain, soothes ana cures it, and prevents what sometimes happens?the use of the surgeon's knife to get rid of the torment i/ne owi thinks and then acts quickly, and the sciatica sufferer should act promptly to arrest the progress of the disease and to restore the nerve by tho use of St. Jacobs Oil to its natf urai condition. !

As John Fiske pointed ont in one of his lectures, it will be a remarkable demonstration of the world-wide power of Great Britain, for the exhibition will consist very largely of portraits of Queen Victoria. Fear not that which cannot be denied. The Useful Giraflc. "Useful? ' said the old circus man. "Why, in many ways, the giraffe is the most useful of all animals in a circus. The elephant is good; you can have him push or pull heavy loads, or you can hook him up to a go-cart, and have him haul a child around the ring in it. This always pleased the people very much, to see the elephant haul a little go-cart around when it would be just as easy for it to haul a house. Bat that never began to please them so much, for instance, as it did to seethe giraffe light the lamps. "We had a giraffe that was folly eighteen feet high. Humph! The 4 ' ' 1 ?*?- T WIA r? 1TT7 OTTO tauesi girnne x cvu oo?. ?? o ??><*jo used to have him light the lamps around the centre pole before the evening show. These lamps were on a square frame around the pole, held up by a rope ruoning over a pulley. The ordinary way of lighting them was to lower the frame down to the ground and light the lamps and then h'ist her up. But we always used to have the giraffe light 'em. Just before the show was going to begin, tent full of people, and everybody wondering why it was eo kind o' dark, in would come the giraffe's keeper carrying a lighted torch, and after him the giraffe. They'd walk out into the centre of the ring and walk around the centre pole and " ' * ? ' ** - 1J 1 Halt, ana tnen xne girane wouiu uuw around to the audience. It was funny enongh to see him bow; but when he'd got through bowing he'd bend his head down and take the torch in his teeth and then raise his head up and walk around and reach up and light the lamps on the frame. When he'd got 'em all lit he'd give the torch back to the keeper, and bow all around again, and then walk off, the keeper following him with the lighted torch. "Fun? Why! It used to tickle the people most half to death."?New York Sun. A Calculating Cat. It takes a smart cat to catch English sparrows, as any observant person can testify who knows anything about these active and enterprising little birds, but an Eilicott City cat can do the trick successfully almost any day 6be wants a good meal for herself or family. The feat is accomplished by the aid of the most wonderful feline shrewdness in this way: From a distance of twenty or thirty yards away the cat spies a sparrow or or two that she wants to eat when they light on a railing of the Tiber bridge at the station yard. She can approach them withont being observed by getting in close to the wall that borders the pavement. This she does. She cannot be seen by the sparrows even as she tnrns on to the bridge, for the railing is broad at the top, and she keeps under it and cannot even herself see her victims, bnt she does some good gnessing or intelligent calculating and stops directly beneath them every time; then she pauses to make a spring to the top of the rail, coverJ ,-lL I i 1U? _1 lJlg Willi nor IWU pawo tuc yiaw nucio she has reckoned the bird is.

The most gigantic harp ever constructed, as far as the record goes, was that made by Veritan, the Provost of Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, in 1787, says the St. Louis Republic. That was a locg while ago, but the fame of M. Veritan's gigantio harp was such that it is still occasionally mentioned by writers on the rare and and the wonderful, just as the sea Berpent, bloody rain, live mastodons, etc., are. M. Veritan's colossal musical instrument was 320 feet in length, and, on that account, was constructed in an open lot instead of in a harp factory. It was most simple in construction, consisting of fifteen wires strung tightly between two poles. These wires were of different sizes, the largest being one-sixth of an inch in diameter and the smallest onetwelfth of an inch. They were north and south and inclined in such a manner as to form an aDgle of from twenty to thirty degrees with the hori nni_:_ : i. a zuu. xills qutrer lueuumcui nan uut intended as an exaggerated toy, but was constructed for the express purpose of foretelling changes in the weather, which were calculated by Professor Yeritan according to the different tones the instrument made when the wind was blowing through it. One fitting way suggested for celebrating Queen Victoria's sixtieth anniversary is the emancipation of the 200,000 slaves kept in bondage in the British protectorate of Zanzibar.

John G. Whittier, the last of the Rreat ^ school of American poets that made the last quarter of a century brilliant, asked me ^ in the White Mountains one morning after fl prayers, in which I had Riven out Cowper's }s famous hymn about the "fountain filled lf with blood," "Do you really believe there is R a literal application of the olood of Christ to the souP" My negative reply then is my ? negative reply now. The Bible statement ?j agrees with all physicians and all physiol- j oeists and all scientists in savitur that the blood is the ?Jfe, and in the ChristiE.n w religion it means simply thut Christ's Jife was given for life. Hence all this talk " of men who say the Bible story of blood is disgusting, nnd that they don't want what ?l they call a "slaughter house religion," only P1 shows their incapacity or unwillingness to 'e Joo-; Through the figure of speech toward the {e thiu.: signified. The blood that on the darlc- ee-: Friday the world ever saw ooze I or SD tr'c <led or poured from the brow, and the ^ si-: . and the hands, and the feet of the ill-: trious sufferer, back of Jerusalem, in a bl f<- / hours coagulated and dried up and for- ?r c.vr disappeared, and if man had depended *>( ou the application of the literal blood of Christ there would not have bsen a soul kl saved for the last eighteen centuries. ln In order to understand this red word of my text we only have to exercise as much common sense ia religion as we do in every- ^ thlniy elan.

The act of substitution is r0 no novelty, although I hear men talk ns UI though the idea of Christ's suffering sub- or stituted for our suffering were something ?h abnormal, something distressingly odd.

It wilii T< be no difficult thing for you to find men who ?' by their looks show you that they are over- in worked. They are prematurely old. They are hastening rapidly toward their decease.

Thev have a shortness: Ct of breath And a pain in the back of the head 10 and at night an insomnia that alarms them, ra Why are they drudging at business early and late? For fun? No. It woul-l be difficult co to extract any amusement out of that ex- W1 haustion. Bscause they are avaricious? In or] many cases no. Because their own personal w' expenses are lavish? No. A few hundred to dollars would meet all their wants. Tne *? simple fact is the man is enduring all that ac fatigue and exasperation and wear and tear ns to keep his home prosperous. There is an tfi invisible line reaching from that store, from g' that bank, from that shop, from that scaffolding, to a quiet scene a few blocks away, 0,J a few mile3 away.

But tl? yonder is a clear light burning, and outside 8tl on the window casement is a glass or pitcher 43 containing food for a sick child. The food ^ is set in the fresh air.

Substitution! an About thirty-six yeats ago there went forth from our northern and southern homes hundreds of thousands of men to do battle for Hi their country. All the poetry of war soon srr vani-hed and left them nothing but the ter- an rible prose. They waded knee deep in mud. t0 They slept in suow-bauks.

They died in on barns, in bushes, in ditches, the buzzards of Si the summer heat the only attendants on their obsequies. No one but the infinite God, who knows everything, knows the ten-thou- tie sandth part of the length and breadth auil in depth and height of the anguish of the CI northern and southern battlefields. Why mi did these fathers leave their children and go to the front, and why did these young men, ur postponing the marriage day, start out into Sb the probabilities of never coining back?

In 184G William Free- se man, a pauperized and idiotic negro, was at al luburn, N. Y., on trial for murder. He had lain the entire Van Nest family. The foamnij wrath of the community conld be kept -ff him only by armed constables. Who rould volunteer to be hie counsel? No ttorney wanted to sacrifloo his popularity y such an ungrateful t.isk. All were silent aveone?a young lawyer with feeble voice bat could hardly be heard outside the bar, ale and thin and awkward. It was William [.

The gallowg got its victim, but the post ortem examination of the poor creature lowed to all tha surgeons and to all the orld that the pub'Jc was wrong, that Willm H.

A brilliant but percriticised painter, Joseph William lrner, was met by a volley of abuse from 1 the art galleries of Europe. His paintgs. which have since won the applause of I civilized nations?"The Fifth Plague of jypt." "Fishermen on a Lee Shore In [ually Weather," "Calais Pier," "The Sun sing Through Mist" and "Dido Building irthage"?were then targets for critics shoot at.

The first box helped me much, and the continual use of the pills has worked and is working wonders. To-day I hav9 driven twelve miles without fatigue. I :aanot say too much in praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for tney have done me a world of good." '.Hr.JobnW. Beatty, who is a contractor iuu uunaer 01 -ueaavine, 01 me nignesi respectability, s-ays: "Although I have passed the meridian of life, I am glad to be able to say that I have bat little or no use for medicine of any kind. !But my wife if. not so fortunate. During the leist few years she has been a sufferer from dropsy and disease of the heart, and at times finffered greatly. A few months ago she begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale ]?eople and has been greatly benefited by their use. She experienced a numbness and coldness in her limbs and at times could scarcely walk by reason of poor circulation of the blood. All these unpleasant symptoms have disappeared and I confidently hope to f?e her a well woman ere long. 1 will also take the liberty to speak for a brother-in-law of mine, G. W. Myer, who resides at Shenkleyville, Mercer County, Pa. So great was Ills affliction by reason of erysipelas in the loce and a general breaking down of the system that last winter he was given up to die. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have made him a new man andhe is as one res cued from the very jaws of death." Jlr. Prentice Fry, of Meadville, testifies as iollows: ' 'My wife and daughter have been failing in health for some time and the treatments c f physicians in their cases have been fruitlass. So much has been said of Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Pale People that I resolved to try them, and myself and family will always be glad that Providence threw suoh a medicine in our way. Tbe pale faces and wasted cheeks of my wife and daughter have disappeared, and the ruddy glow of health has reappeared. Pen cannot record my feelings in the matter, and ali I can say is that I trust all who aie bowed down by the heavy hand of physical infirmity will learn that there, is a remedy that cares and places suffering humanity where they'can enjoy this earthly existence.

White House Slate Dinners. TVin ?not nf n. nfn.f.A dinner at thft White House runs from $500 to $1000, according to the price of wines furnished. State dinners, as a rale, are uninteresting aside from their pictureBqueness. The scene, however, is one of beauty and sumptuonsness in effect. The walls of the large dining-room are banked with tropical flowers and plants. The table is gorgeous with gold and silver plate. The centre of the table, which accommodates thirty-eight persons, is adorned by a large mirror, representing a miniature lake, which is surrounded by a bank of flowers. The mirror has a golden frame, and was purchased by Dolly Madison. At either end of the table are golden candelabra. With additions the table accommodates sixty persons. The President's place is at the center of the north side, the length of which extends from east to west. The wife of the Chief Executive of the nation is seated opposite to her hufiband upon these occasions. Q.'he wives of recent Presidents have obtained large grants from Congress for the purchase of costly table furnishings. The spoons and the forks are of pure goU, and some of the china is almost priceless. The cups, for instance, could not be luf licated for ?IUU each. Telegraphy Without Wires. The Postoffice Deportment of Great Britain is experimenting on a new system of telegraphy which is embodied in the following idea: "The system depends not on electro-magnetic but electro-static effects; that is to say, on olectric waves of a much higher rate of vibration, not less than 2511,000,000 a second?that is, Hertzian waves. These vibrations are projected through ] space in straight lines, and, like light, &re capable of reflection and refrac- I tion. Indeed, thoy exhibit all ot the phenomena which characterize light. More than ten years ago the discovery was made in a London office in the Telephone Exchange that operators read from sound messages that were in transit from London to Bradford by telegraph wires. Other experiments have demonstrated the possibility of telegraphing even though the wires were broken. The probabilities are that the attraction is strong enough to continne the sound through the space between the broken ends of the lines. Suflocnted by Ants. A remarkable phenomenon was witnessed in Jerusalem recently. A swarm of flying ant? settled upon the city and filled tho air from sunrise until 9 o'clock. Visitors to the Holy Sepulcher were obliged to use their handkerchiefs constantly in order to keep the iDseots out of their eyes and nostrils. The natives asserted that this extraordinary flight of ants was the precursor of an earthquake, and, two slight shocks of earthquake were felt in Jerusalem on the evening of the same day.?Chicago Inter-Ocean. / . . Vermont's First Maple Sugar, According to the Confectioner's Journal, the first maplo sugar made in Vermont was at Bennington in March, 11753, in the log cabin of the first seti ii._ ii a. n i r? v rri. , iier, captain oamuex noDineou. iub sap?probably from trees on the hillBide in Bennington Centre?was caught in short sections of logs, hollowed out to hold a gallon or more. The season -was favorable for a free run of sap, the nights being frosty and the dsys still and sunny. Evaporation was performed in Bmall iron kettles, bought in Albany a few weefis previously. A liquor cask of good syrup was obtained, but only a small quantity of sugar was made -thirty or forty pounds. The precise method of tapping the trees is not known. Fublio records of the time make no mention of sugar making, and the only information on the subject is in the diary of Hiram Harwood, the first white child born in Bennington. It began in 1810, covering twenty-six years, and was a continuance of his father's diary begun in 1806, and giving a minute record of evervdav life and manv facts relating to the early history of Bennington. Ihe particulars of the first sngar-making were obtained from Mrs. Mercy Robinson in 1794. Ancient Lake* Beds. The maps made by the Ptolemies, kings of Egypt, contained a lake to the west of the Nile, and the name given was Moeris. As there was no lake to the southeast of Cairo, the matter remained a pnzzle until an American named Captain Whitehouse discovered a depression in this locality forty-five by twenty-five miles; this a V%AnnrV?l nf 4-Via P.r>_mfian ffAvovnmanf UU UUUgUII VI VUW ^Vf W*UWWMV for $16,000. The eastern edge of this depression is ten miles from the Nile, and Mr. Whitehouse'B plan ie to have a canal cat, and when the Nile overflows to fill it with water. This depression, called the Raiyan, thus filled with water, will be a fertile region, and, it is estimated, will produce an increase of orops worth seventy million annually. There is another depression not far north of the Raiyan, called the Fayoum, which has been thus treated, and it supports 250,000 people.

The Dismal Swamp is by no meas) so dismal as it has been painted, -id according to the description of late geographers, possesses features whiofc ought to make it an attractive water- j ing place and sanitarium. It is no^ as most people imagine, a vast bog . ' sunk low iu the ground, into whi?? the drainage of the surrounding oon* try flowe. On the contrary, according to aocurate surveys, it is above tin >| level ground, some fifteen or tvreniy feet, and, instead of being the reoep tacle, is, in its immense sponge-lil? bulk, gathering the waters that descend npon it, the source of rivent five of which take their origin withim it and flow onward to the sea. Tha . swamp is entirely of green timber] there is no decaying wood* the tw? principal woods that grow there being the juniper and the cypress, whiok never rot. They fall on the ground like other trees, but instead of dn-, composing, they turn into peat, sad ( ->? in that form remain unchangeable and indissoluble. There is nothing m the swamp to create miasma; no rising of the tides and decomposition of rank vegetables; no marshes exposed to tha burning rays of the sun. All is freak < and sweet, and the air is laden wiftk * balmy odors. The water is tinged witk juniper to a faint wine hue, and ii thought to possess valuable sanitary qualities. It is often used by vend* going on a long cruise on account of its healthful properties, and also b*> oause it keeps fresh and clear for ' years.
