NUMBER 4 fTo illustrate the inexorableness 01 German law, the San Francisco Examin* r cites how a cavalry officer was discharged for reaching from bis saddle and saving the life of a little girl who was about to l>e run over. Canning factories are springing up in "various parts of the South. This is, in "the estimation of the American Farmer, a hopeful sign. The South, it declares, should supply the world with canned vegetables.

New Zealand has enacted a suffrage law which allows women to bo registered without personal attendance at the polls. 'Very gallant, confesses the Bo3tc r Transcript; but, it adds, when a woman enters into politics why should she bo more favored than the male voter? " Colorado is the banner State for holidays," is theverdict of the St. Louis Star-Sayings. "In that State they cele brate watcrmellon day, peach day, potato day and grape day. The?e holidays are celebrated by the small boy in all States, but probably in Colorado alone does the entire population join in." Invention is still bu3y with providing transportation over the billows. The wbalcback vessels were new, but the latform of steamship propellor is an English invention. It is designed so that when in motion there is no weight of water ou the blades on tho rise and j fall of the propellor, duo to the pitching I of the vessel. The San Francisco Examiner observes: Those queerly constituted persons who imagine they have a respect for the memory of deceased persons whose tombs they despoil have alread}- carried away every portable object from the burial place of Walt Whitman, at Camden, N. and chipped chunks from the grauito Wfills. TUc tciuctcry officers have had to meet to deviso measures to stop the memento gatherers' rauls. In England, says the Chicago Times, farming is considered a busiuess that must be learned, as well as anything else. A man without experience would havo difficulty in renting or leasing a good farm there, no matter bow much capital he might have, and, again, no matter what his experience, he could not leaso unless he could show capital enough to stock and operate it properly. Here it is sometimes different. Professor Virchow is, maintains the New Orleans Picayune, the greatest living authority on contagious diseases, aud 'he says that perfect quarantine is an absolute protection against cholera, ami that one week's quarantine is sufficient. :He maintains that the disease can only be transmitted by contact with the refuse of the sick room; that patients, and uot houses, need to bo isolatod, and that corrosive sublimate and carbolic acid are the best disinfectants. i An event of rare and curious interest was the discovery the other day in a Broadway book store in New York City, states Once-A-Wock, of two bookworms that were feeding on au antique copy of Senaca. These minute animals, more celebrated in literature than anything else of their size, aro very infrequently identified. Eugene Field chronicled the discovery of one in Cbi -- cago about a year ago, and a daily paper recalls the fact that when Bernard fntirt'l Ann nmrtntr Viw in ^Udllwu IVUUV? W-V ^ WW... ? London five years ago, he gave a dinner la honor of the event. Bat for the inost part the bookworm has bseu, Iiko the griffln, a creature more of fable an 1 innuy than of fact, and this mo3t recent discover.* of two is entitled to go on the focords of history. A telegraph company is not excused from using care because a mossago is un grammatical aud a Georgia beof dealer has recovered a verdict because the Western Union Telegraph Company did not 'deliver to a cattle dealer the message, "How is cattle?

To make awnings waterproof, immerse first in a solution of soap, and repeat the process in a copper solution of equal strength; then wash and dry. If tho windows are washed every two weeks in winter and summer they will always keep bright. Tho best way to see to this is to have a certain day set apart for sweeping and washing windows, and divide up the windows in the rooms occupied, washing half of them caeh week alternately. If there arc outside blinds to the house, these should be kept thoroughly dusted. Where such blinds are closed, as tlicy are in summer, they collect the dust rapidly and become a fruitful cause of dirty windows. It is n matter of congratulation that the outside window blind is passing out of use. Whore awnings arc used, they servo to shade the window as well as the outside blind die!, while they allow the free ingress of air. The inside window-shutter, for that matter, is very little used, nnd, with its box-ease, serves chiefly to uninhabited it is brought into use as a protection to the window; but a stout boarding would serve the purpose better, would be of less expeuso to the householder, and not as complicated an arrangement. It should he the object of a modern builder to do away with all nooks and crannies where that known enemy to public health, dust, may lurk. In washing windows, if one objects to the use of whiting because of the infinitesimal powder it might give off (and in the hands of a careless servant this might ho a serious objection), a tnblespoonful of turpentino dissolved in half a gallon of water will give wonderful results in the way of nolishing. It should he applied with a damp chamois and polished off with a dry one. THE CRUISERS WILL ~BE~ THERE. And the Bombardment of Fort 8umto Will Be a Big Success. Charleston, 8.

London, England ?Miss Cozen?, a well-known advocate of woman suffrage, said at a meeting of the Woman's Emancipation Union that women could go on talking until the crack of doom without getting redress from the injustice under which they suffer.
