The Detroit Free Press maintains Uxat, "one trouble with the American farmer is that when the weather is dry he does not need better roads, and When the mud is hub deep there is no chance to build better ones." \ New Yorkers have formed a society, < with branches in Puiladelphia and other I American cities, for the suppression of ' the "intolerable annoyance created by the frequent noisy clauging of inhar- ] monious church bells." , M t The Tecpnt British elections h&re cost rr $12,000,000.

One hundred years ago L William Murdoch, a Cornish miner, *| studying the coal which he handled ^ daily, filled an iron kettle with it and ftl set it on the tire, connecting an iron tl pipe with the nozzle; when the gas bogan to flow from the pipe ho applied a light, aud tho first gas light sprang into existence. Wide as his useful invention t< has spread, aud great as the blessings P that have resulted from it, how many " people evor heard the ni.ue of William Murdoch? ?? * * 1 Some idea ot the growth of the coun- t< try may be gained incidentally from a e study of the census bulletin on the op- |-! oration of telephone companies. It appears that the total investment in enter- 8 prises of this kind incieised from $14,605,787 in 1880 to ?72,341,736 in 1893. g The number of subscribers in 138') was 0 43,814 and in 1S9 ) there were 257,357, " while the number of conversations over f the wires in the latter yen was 453,- \ 200,000. In 1880 the mileage of wire was 34,305, in LSI) ) it ha I incroasel to ^ 240,112 miles. There were 407,356 j telephones and transmitter* in u*o in s 1S90, or more than double the number t in 1830. A rec >rd of this kind shows a ' develop iieiit which cannot be matched * by any oth- r con ilry oil the globa. ( ___________________ i To the London Lancet is due the sug- f gcstion that prizes should be o Icred for ' the best cup ol toa or cilTee as much as for the best show of fruit and flowers. Here is an idea for county fairs, cooking school competitions and mission work. ' There is scarcely a hamlet in Switzerland, Franco, Austria or Italy where one cannot find a good cup of coffee. In this 1 country it is as rare as in England. Yet there is nothing simpler or easier to make. Perfect coffee can be made with an old oy3ter can and a clean rag or a born of drii-'erist's filter oancr. It should be unnecessary to plead such a reason, nut the nerve-sustaining power of black coffee, particularly for people who lcai sedentary lives, should make it at least as accessible as bars and soda 'ouutains. In fact, as the Lancet says, in urging its use: "To inauy of the daily increasing number of total abstainers a cup of really good coffee is perhaps more wholesome, as well as more palatable, than a too free use of aerated waters; while many who are moderate drinkers would prefer coffee in tho middle of the ' day, or at any other tirnos when on SELECT SIFITXHS.

" A maker of fc3t plates named Webb ' iany years ago made for the Army , [edical Museum at Washington a spcci- *| ten of microscopic writing on glass, his writing consists of the words of the ord's prayer and occupies a rectangular (j oaco metsuring 1-244x1-441 of hu inch. j he lines of this writing are about as | road as those on the test plates, which o re 1-50,000 of an inch apart. They are, serefore. about as wide as average light J aves. Now, then, to get some idea of we magnitude of minuteness of this t writing. t There are in the Lord's Prayer 227 let- 1 jrs, and if, as here, this number occu- ? ies the 1-129,654 of an inch, there I r'ould be room in an entire square inch or 20,431,458 such letters similarly I laced. ' Now, the entire Bible, Old and New * 'cs laments, contains bat 3,560,480 let- I era, and there would, therefore, be roo;u nough to write the entire Bible eight lines over cu one square inch- of glass, a tho same inanuer as the words ot the jord's Prayer have been written on this pecimen. Such statement, without doubt, stag;ers the imagination, but the figures are asily verified ami are certainly correct, ,nd the whole stutement at least serves o bring homo to us the limite 1 nature >{ our mental capacities as compared vith the facts of (he universe. It also furnishes au interesting suggestion in a very different subject. It has been often stated that a physcal >asis of memory may exist in permanent tructural modification of the brain mater constituting the surface of the fur owa Jn a highly developed brain this mrfacc amounts to 310 square inches, ind it would therefore appear that the mtire inomoriex of a lifetime might be vritten out in the English language on inch a surface in characters capable of nechanical execution, as those of the Webb plate at Wash in do:i.
