It is estimate! that there are at least ten brakemen killed throughout the United States in a single day. An earthen projectile has been successfully used in pigeon shooting as a substitute for the living birds. The blast furnace is supposed to have been first used in Belgium and been introduced into England in 1558. In one hand of a corpse the Laplanders place some money to pay the fee of the porter at the gate of Paradise. Buffon said that a pair of herrings, if undisturbed, would produce in twenty years a bulk of herrings the size of the globe. By the law of King Ethelbort, for breaking a man's front tooth the fine was six shilling for a molar one and a canine, six. Notwithstanding England's indebtedness to her mechanics, but one workingman has ever been buried in Westminster Abbey ; this was Graham, the clockmaker. In New Zealand are frequently found the bones of those large, wingless birds, called by the aborigines " moa." The largest representative known was ten and one-half feet high. To make shoe-pegs enough for American use consumes annually 100,000 cords of timber; tj make lucifer matches, 300,000 cubio feet of the best pine are required every year. The total area of land available for wheat culture in the United States is not less than 470,000,000 acres. The entire wheat crop for onA year would not suffice to sow so vast an area.

Through the last mentioned ( wnnnd. which is a little wav below the left armpit, he expels air from his lungs. A Tribune reporter visited the man last evening at St. Mark's hospital. He had , no hesitation in exhibiting his pecu- j liarity, and, when requested to strip, re- , moved his shirt and showed the reporter four holes in his chest and back where two bullets had entered and another - where a ball had strucfc his shoulder and came out under his arm. There was also a hole or two in his leg. From the wound under the armpit he breathed so loudly that the sound of air escaping through the orifice could be heard the length of the room. The reporter held his hand before the hole and felt the air rushing out. Dwyei tells his story 1 as follows : 1 " I was in Bonanza City about three j i vear* aco. I had a minincr claim, and i ] /' "O"* 9 ? a man named Flaxon?Charley waa his j < first Dame?oame at me with a six-shooter ! i for a fight. Well, before I knew it he j < had filled me up with lead. I had holes ; i all over me, and they crossed this way : i and that, until I couldn't tell for a cer-! ] tainty which bullet made any twohdles.' < For a while you could look into one of ; the holes and see my heart quite plain, 11 but that healed up, and now there is no j1 show to see the heart at all. If you'd a ! 1 been here a year or more ago I could j i have shown you the heart beating right | ( along. I ain't much of an exhibition : now ; all 1 can do is to pump air out | of my lung3 by this hole. Once I could 'take it in ono place and send it out j i another, but the other hole healed. 111 was all well once, but the wounds i opened again." Oid you return the fire ?" asked Al_ L lue reporter " Hadn't any gnn ; but after I was shot a few times I went for him and got him down, and the crowd pulled me ( off. "When I got him down he began to , holler murder; nice chap to be singin' out murder after the way he had acted. He shot his partner the same way. Guess I'll be out in a few days all right."?

Dennie Dunlap was a three-card monte man attached to a cirous. A greenhorn whom he had swindled out of $200, at Assumption, La., compiaiucd to a justioe, who not only issued a warrant but went to the tent to serve it. Dennie was operating another victim, and he quietly offered the justice $20 not to interrupt him for ten minutes. This proposition was declined. Then the gambler angrily d:ew a revolver, but the justice fired quickest, killing him instantly and coolly recovered the $200 from his pockets. The gambling privilege of that circus is now for sale.

He endeavored to escape from the burning building by a stage door, bnt owing to some mishap fell through a broken trap into a deep cellar. Here the poor fellow remained for seventytwo hours without sleep or food, and from the constant pouring of water into the cellar from the engines came near being drowned. His cries were at last heard by an inspecting fireman, who took him out of the water, which was up around his chest. United States Consul Baker, of Buenos Ayres, thinks that the ostrich can b domesticated in the United States and made profitable. He de- j scribes an ostrich farm situated about fifteen miles from Buenos Ayres, and gives many instructions for the benefit of those in this country who may desire to go into the business. Full grown birds cost from $1,000 to $1,200 delivered at Buenos Ayres, and 5,000 birds can be kept on 6,000 acres of land. The gross income derived from chicks produced by one pair of birds is from $2,000 to $3,000 per annum. At Cape Colony $40,000,000 are invested in the business, and the business, and the value of the feathers annually produced is $4,500,000. A committee of .Presbyterians wen known in philanthropic work, with Mr. William E. Dodge at their head, have presented a memorial to Congress asking for ample appropriations for the edonation of Indian children, and for the passage of a law providing for the settlement of Indians in severalty, their 1 I cads to be held by them in fee simple, f he committee say : " If the city of Philadelphia, with its 800,000 people, can easily educate its 105,000 children, , bow much more easily can the nation, with its 50.000,000 of people,undertake to edacate its 50,000 Indian children ?" The memorial further points out what tins heretofore been accomplished in this direction, and refers particularly to the training schools at Hampton, Carlisle and Forest Grove, in which the ?ducation of Indian children has already shown gratifying results. The i uommittee suggest to Congress "the i authorization of the establishment of ' other similar schools at military posts i whjch have been or may be vacated in IifTerent parts of the country." i An interesting discovery is reported 1 from Pola, the chief naval station of ( 1 ^? AwoUio? Atnnim onrl fnriYicrlr o .UD AUDUltau W4U|/UV) wuu H i station of the Roman fleet. Near the ( lingo amphitheater, only second to the eoliseum in size and massivcness of con- | struction, some workmen were lately , engaged in digging an ice cellar for the ] nse of the squadron and the naval ar- , ;cnal, when at about a yard's depth , from the surface they came upon a ^ statue nino feet three inches in height, . representing a Roman emperor, and iu , * rtf almost nerfeet nreservation. This effigy, executed in Grecian mar- . ble of the finest quality, is stated to be the most beautiful and highly finished effigy of its kind in existence. It has not as yet been recognized as the portrait of any particular emperor, but would appear to be rather an ideal or typical presentment of the Roman Crnsar. It is supposed that this noble statue originally adorned one of the Diches of the vestibule belonging to the theater built . >7 Augustus Ccosar in honor of hie .laughter Julia, and bearing her name. At a meeting of the National As30 cia'.ion for the Protection of the Insane and the Prevention of Insanity, held in New York, Dr. 0. F. Dana, in a p^per read by mm, gave tne ionowing interesting facts: Tnere are at present in the United States about 63,000 insane people, or one to 777 of the population. Twenty years ago the ratio was one to 1,310; in 1875, one to 953 The ratio in England is one to S50. By sections the ratio is: In New England, one to 588; Middle States, one to 600; Western States, one to 850; Southern States, one to 1,100. The ratio to which we may look forward in the future is, in New England, one to 500; West, one to 600; South, one to 800. In 1881 there were seventy-four State and thirty-four private asylums. The cost of maintaining them was $12,000,000 a year. The needs of the insane are want of room in asylums, separa tion of acute and chronic patients and epileptics, improvement in the laws of commitment, more amusement and work for patients and a separation' of State asylums from political influence. S 7'W / A Game Played by Horse Sharpers. " For sale, for want of use, bay Hambletonian mare, six years old, 15 1-2 hands high, warranted sound, kind and fearless; can trot in three minutes." The above appeared in a morning paper a few days ago, and an old gentleman from the country read it in the nurs. " Just the thing to make Kate a wedding present. I'll call and see about it." And he called at the stable where the bay Hambletonian was on exhibition. She pleased his fancy, and he bought the mare and sauntered forth. "Hello, Mr.? !" exclaimed a man in tho street; " yen doa't know me, of course. I was introduced to you by Mr. So and So at such a place," mentioning names and places dropped by the old gentleman at the stables. "I have just been round at that stable with the intention of buying that mare, but I learned you had been there before m a. And I am sorry for you, old friend." "SorryI How?" " Why, you have been fearfully swindled, that's all. They have just sent her off to the stable you mentioned, and it strikes mo you'll not seethe sellers again in a hurry." "You don't mean to say it's the gyp game ?" " That's justwhat I mean. But had you not bought the mare I would have given something for her, almost useless though she is for carting purposes." The old gentleman thought hard; ho did not like to take the animal home and show that he had been made a fool of. "Vhy," he said, presently, "if you really want her you can have her. I'll part with her at a sacrifice, fm disgusted." "What d;dyou give for her?"' " I gave $120." "My dear friend, she's not worth $50. However, she fiiay be worth $50, and as I'm almost a friend of yours I'll give you that for her." The offer was accepted. And yet that same mare answered every portion of the description given in the advertisement, except the words, "For want of tee." Consequently, should any one havfl led the sellers into a supposed trap, nothing could have come of it. But the confederate who accosted the unsophisticated countryman afterward, by his ingenious hints, troubled the old man, and in the end the gang made $70 by the transaction. The ways of tne horse dealer are various and rough, and the ramifications 1 of their operations are unpleasantly extensive.?Philadelphia Record. Distances in Siberia. 1 A writer on Siberia in Fraser's Maga- 1 itic says: " Few haVe' an idea of "the- ~ dimensions of that enormous colony. I extract the following figures from Mr. JLiansaeii h dook, giving ine hi?tistics of area and population: Sqnaro miles. Population. Tobolsk 800,090 1,102,302 Tomsk 500,000 838,000 Ycnescisk 1,000.000 372,000 Irkutsk 300,000 380,000 Yakutsk 1,500,000 285,000 Trans-Baikal 240,000 430,000 Amour 173,000 22,000 riimorsk 733,000 G2,000 Saghulin 32,000 15,000 * Are those totals not appalling ? I confess thev confuse me. But if you take a map of Siberia one could form some idoa of its sizo by cutting out the size of Germany, France, Austria and Hungary; for there would be sufficient land still left over to create Great , Britain and Ireland out of the single province of Yeneseisk. But all that 1 enormous expanse is empty. The population of Yeneseisk is only 372,000, or about half the population of Moscow. ( The whole population of Siberia is lees ( than the population of London. I Siberians do not seem distressed at ] these distances, aud think nothing of riding 100 miles to attend a ball or a ( banquet, but entertainments of that sort are only held in towns, which are < very few, only seventeen having more I than 5,000 inhabitants. Of course, , much of Siberia is not fit for colonization ; the land is evidently gre atly altered since the times of the mam- J moths and other antediluvian animals. 1 Bnt nevertheless there is evidentlv a ' great want of population. i To supply that want has been the 1 constant thought of Russian statesmen. It is that which partly has led them to establish nenal settlements in Siberia. There is a certain appropriateness about that which is quito undesigned. It is perhaps not altogether unfitting that Siberia, conquered by a half-brigand, * * ' i 11 1 _ 0 xl snouid pecomo me nome 01 me convict.

Apropos of an article on mistletoe which appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette, a correspondent writes: To those who have not looked into the matter it will be a surprise to learn that English mistletoe is rarer on oak trees than on j other trees. But it may be of some interest to Btato that in other parts of the world oak trees are a very favorite abode for this carious parasite. When some years ago I was traveling in early April through Arcadia, on my way to visit the famous temple at Bass?, wo passed on a rtiggcd mountain side ( through what was evidently the remnant of an ancient oak forest. The trees wero but dwarfs compared with our British oak, and they were very thinly scattered. But on every tree grew one or more big bunches of mistletoe. It was of a beautiful pale green, verging toward yellow, and very picturesque it looked among tho bare gnarled branobes. ' # p ; A Wasp's Speculation. The occupant of a room with the floor open into the street, was startled one day at the entrance, with a buzzing noise, of a large bluish wasp of the kind which captures spiders to put in their nests for their growing wasps to feed upoh. After flying around the wasp went to a corner of the room, where a large house spider had made a broad web near the ceiling, with along, close hiding-place extending down in the corner. The wasp flew under the web and examined the hiding-place closely, apparently to see if the spider was at home, and then, as if satisfied of i the fact, flew out into the room and, j returning, dropped down on the center of the web, buzzing and fluttering like a caught fly. Thereupon the old spider rushed out in great haste to capture his prey, and as soon as he came within reach the wasp picked him up and flew away with him. Was it reason or instinct that caused the action of these \ two animals under the circumstances ? < Whately Bays "instinct is a blind tendency to some mode of action inde-" pendent of any consideration on the part of the agent of the end to which the action leads." Did these animals ' have no "consideration" or expectation 1 of the "end or object to which their actions led ?"?Rochester LemocrCtt.

Smile of Satisfaction. ' This from the Cleveland (Ohio) Penny ] Press carries its own suggestion: Re- 1 cently meeting Mr. H. G.

But a few years back wef can all remember the comparatively little attention paid to this most indispensable of animals. Wo say comparatively little attention, for the horse was as well groomed, and certainly as well fed, as now; and at those great gatherings?agricultural shows?you would see the pride of the county and State stables and farms assembled. But there was a conspicuous want of noble draught horses, and as for speeders?well, 2:40 was the great ultimate limit that owners in those days desired to strive for. But now a 2:40 animal is < esteemed a fair roadster, and fine animals only deserve the name when they can shade the first quarter of the third minute. There have been immense strides forward in therightdevelopmentof horseflesh in the civilized countries of the world, aa shown by the time-records of the racers and useftil, work-horse. Many things haveconspircd to efleet this desirable end, chief among which have been the intelligent care and consideration bestowed upon the animal in his eveiy relation ?in a word, upon tho breeding. And this has not failed to include a very serious modification of the old methods of treatment, doing away, in many cases,with theinhumon and really savage plans pursued in the eradication of even simple disorders and ailments, and substituting rational measures of relief instead. A prominent factor of this reform, and one indorsed by owners, breeders, farmers and stockmen tb? country over, is St. Jacobs Oil, recognized by all who have used it as an exceptionally good remedy for the ailments of the horse and stock generally, meeting more indications for its use and effecting far better results than any article of a curative or remedial nature ever introduced. Such breeders and horsemen as Aristides Welch, Esq., of Erdcnhcim, near Philadelphia; Mike Gcodin, Esq., Belmont Park, Pa.; Culvin M. Priest, formerly in charge of Mr.Robert Bonner'astock,New York; and thousands of others throughout the countr.-, who could bo named, are on the list of unqualified endorsers of the efficacy of St. Jacobs Oil. N Y N P 0 Tho Herald says: "Mr. Lothrop's ambition to do good through literature increase with his opportunity, and the opportunity goes tj the extent of putting 1,000,000 books into circulation every year."

One hour after your Venetian Liniment was used it was out of danger. I hope yon will publish this so that niothen may - know they havo a remedy for this terrible complaint. I lost a clilld by croup previous to hearing or your liniment, but now never feel alarmed, as I havo your medicine always in the house.

Jerome Paiik, June 21.?This is to certify that I > have used Dr. Tobias' Venetian Horse Liniment and Derby Condition Powders on my race horses and found them to give perfect satisfaction. In fact they hate necer failed to cure any aliment for which they were used; the Liniment when rubbed in by the hand never blisters or takes th6 hair off; it has moro penetrative qualities than any other I have tried, which I suppose is tho great secret of its suecess in curing sprains.
