The Boston Transcript thinks this flower should be very popular among patriotic Americans abroad. From Iceland the exports of wool last season were 1,810,000 pounds, of which 302,0J0 went to Great Britain, the remainder to Copenhagen. Exports of live sheep were 23,000, and of poniet 2500. The hay crop was excellent, and fisheries were good, especially the halibut fishery which is carried on by Amer ienns. A useful inuovatiou ha* been introduced into the public schools of Baltimore, in the shape of sewing l??8ons for the girls. A directress of sewing in tho public schools has been appointed, under whose direction weekly lessons will be given in all the .schools. Fine samples of wo Ci are provided for the pupils, who are required to imitate ^Bheui. taraine ana cnoiera nave male war upon Russia aud prevented Russia from unking war upon her neighbors. But pestilence as a peace-promoter is worse, the Washington Star admits, than the war which it obviates. The forces of destruction now issuing from Russia move far more rapidly than an array, their attack is far less avoidable and far piore deadly, and they threaten the new? world as well as tho old. The Boston Transcript relates how Chinese Consul at San Francisco Jtc&k a hand in protecting tho city ' agaiust cholera by issuing a proclamation for the purification of Chinatown. The proclamation was so promptly obeyed that in twenty-four hours Chiuatown had gone such a transformation as, accordiug to the San Fraucisco Bulletin, a score ot ordinances ana nity policemen could not have effected- in six months. Louis Kossuth told a recont interviewer that he did not.believe the lluugariuu Austrian erupiro would hold together more than one more generation, and that the Magyars would form the nucleus of the new State to be formed out of the wreck. IIo bad faith in the nearness of a republic in Italy and another on the Iberian Peninsula; while to shelve the Guclphs eventually. A recent visitor To London say3 that in that city loug taudem tricycles, capable ol seating eight or more passengers, have been introduced, and one is now being used as a rival to the tram or street cars. The owner of the vehicle occupies the front seat, collects the fares and steers, but the passengers have to provide the motive power, nnd if they don't move their feet freely very poor time is made on the journey. Such a means of iuulmh jtiu.i wuuiu pruvu u success here, but it is said that in Loudon the ecnts are booked and paid for u week in advance. It may not be generally known, thinks the Chicago Times, that Nebraska has on?.third of all the beet-sugar lactones in the United States. Ilero is the list: The Alvarado Sugar Company, at Alvarado, Cal., was the first, built iu 1879, and is still operated by E. II. Dyer; the second is that of Claus Sprcckles, at ^ Watsonvilie, Cal., built in 1837; the third was bililt by Henry T. Oxuard, at Grntid Island, Neb., aud worked its fi/st crop iu 1890; the fourth oue waft also built by Mr. Oxuard in 1891, at folk, Nob.; the fifth is at Chino, Q?U? and the sixth has juit beeu completed this year by local capitalists at LflUl, Utah. Thus it will bo seeu that these are at ibis time but six beet-sugar factories iu the United Htatcs. P. D.
