1 TOPICS OF THE DAY. A recerrt report of the actuary of an English life insurance company shows by statistics that the average duration of life lias been increased, and instead of being thirty-three years, as has always been considered the standard, it is now nearly forty years. ( Professor Bell, the inventor of the Bell telephone, has become involved as plaintiff in some heavy litigation concerning alleged infringements of his patent, in Prague, Trieste and other places in the Austrian domain. The defendants are some of the most prominent capitalists of the empire,and the leading lawyers of the country have been retained on both sides. A writer in the English Fortnightly Review assumes tli it manhood suf. j fruge prevails in Canada. This is not strictly true. In that country only men who have an income of $400 per year in the city and of $200 in the country are permitted to vote. A property-owner may vote in every district where his property yields an in- ' come of $400 or $200, as the case may be. A statistical record of habitual drunkards is to be kept in Prussia. All city physicians are directed to present ( in future an exact account of the determined bibbers, by putting in the official reports "P" opposite the names j of the culprits. In this way, appa- ' parently, the drunkard will be under ' the paternal eye of the government, j and may be led to redemption. It is said that the Chinese are surreptitiously entering California in , great numbers from the north. The . custom house o Hi cor at Port Townsend, j Washington Territory, states that j owing to the lack of adequate protec- j tion it is comparatively easy to smug- j gle Chinamen across the border, j While he is morally certain that this , smuggling is going on, it is almost im- j possible to prove it legally. < A "Wisconsin woman has invented a , labor-saving machine for the benefit of j bees, and the little honey makers of } her acquaintance are enabled to improve the shining hours to much greater advantage than bees lessf kindly fa- j vored. A sheet of wax run through ( the machine is indented in exact ] imitation of honey-comb, and when j placed in the hives the little workers ! ( have nothing" to do but To~gaUe? I , sweets enough to fill the ready-made j recepjtacles. 1 They seem to occasion allv to sell chil- t I K dren ,in England?and cheap, too. , Here is a report of a sale which took , place at Oldham: It appeared that , the woman wanted to sell her children j and a large crowd collected. She was , successful in selling one child to a j woman, and this woman, having pur- , chased the child for Gd.. made oil with ] her prize in a cab. The mother wanted \ to dispose of the other child, and at , first asked 2d., but ultimately brought j down the demand to Id., without find , ing a purchaser. , A pearl fishery which is said to be of great promise has been opened up in the gulf of California. One pearl, taken from the shell of an oyster in ; December last, is believed to be largest J yet found. It weighs seventy-five carats, and was purchased by a jeweler for $14,000. Another of forty-seven carats has been found. It is perfect in form and finely tinted, and is valued at<5000. A third very beautiful pearl of forty carats has been exhibited at La Paz, where a bid of $3000 for it i was declined. The three-cent piece must go, or at least it ought to go in the opinion of the New Y<jrk Times, which gives an interesting history of that undesirable little coin. It came into existenco with three-cent postage, and the Times thinks it should be made to follow its leader into permanent retirement. The coin bears no relation to our decimal system; there is no real necessity i for it in its silver form; it is incon- j veniently small, anil as nickel it is a base counterfeit of the ten-cent piece, anil not easily distinguished from it except on careful inspection in a good light.

For some years past one of the most conspicuous features of the Paris thoroughfares has been the staring red carts of an enterprising English tradesman. The driver was invariably attired in a gorgeous postillion's costume, and the horse by a curious arrangement, was almost concealed from view inside what was really a huge perambulating square box. These ingenious advertising me- J diums have now disappeared pursuant j to a decree of the prefect of police, to : whom complaints had been made that j they impeded the trallic in the streets^ : besides frightening the horses of other vehicles. The decree was at first disrerrnrdiwl hut. tii< ImI to three Of the offending structures being confiscated ; by the authorities. Polygamy is, according to Colonel Godfrey of the Government Utah Commission, to be squelched by creating a 1 division in the Mormon church. There j are, at most, only 15,000 polygamists j in the church; but the 120,000 mono- | gamists have winked at polygamy, and hence the polygamists have ruled. Now that every polygamist is disfranchised, the monogamists see that, their only hope of holding office lies in declaring against polygamy?and there are as ambitious politicians in Utah as anywhere. The commisssion, Colonel j Godfrey says, have prepared for rccom- ; mendation to Congress a marriage law j providing that all marriages shall be solemnized in certain public places before witnesses, and that the person performing the ceremony, and the witnesses as well, shall make affidavit that Fhnv orn nnt nnlvnrnmictQ "'v.' "*v i'"V b" ' Hydrophodia is so appalling a disease, and so generally regarded as incurable that any specific against it must be hailed with delight. The South American curare, or woorari.was as first thought to be such a remedy; but experience proved its properties tc have been overated. 2^ow from the j same continent comes another drug | which is claimed to be the long-looked 1 fur antidote. It is called policapini, and is an extract from a Brazilian plant known asjaborandi. It is admin- ; isterecl L?y subcutaneous injections in | the forearm, twenty gr;iins being used j in tix injections. In a few moments a i profuse per.-pi ration ensues, attended j L>y vomiting, and this is followed by a j state of complete repose. A short j time after, the patient is entirely well. ! Such, at leiist, is said to have been the j jxperience of a priest at Caen, France, ! ftho was relieved from an attack of lydrophobia by the use of the new remedy. There has been some discussion as ;o whether a person lying in a sleeping rar should place his feet toward the ocomotive or the reverse. The mat:er was discussed in the British Mtdixil Journal nearly a year ago, and the veight of evidence seemed in favor of j >ointing the feet to the locomotive. Che more important question?as af'ecting a large number of people?of iitting with tho back to the locomotive vas jils'i discussed, and the habit was universally condemned, and cases jiven in support of the opinion. One nan who had travelled 48,000 miles a rear in that position became extremey ill with nervous affection, and got tvell alter he had given up the habit* His doctor believes that persons who ravels much by rail should "take all sorts of positions." But ho considers :hat the hurry and worry caused by efforts not to miss trains is productive af more evil than all other causes. Chinese Stage Performers. One of the attractions of a recent performance in the Chinese theatre in San Francisco was a stage fight between two warriors, whose method ol uffonl* troQ tn inmn nn infn tKo nir imivua uiw iv jviui^ iuwv tuv ui &. strike the adversary in the chest with the bottom of both feet, and then fall full length on the stage, striking with terrific force on their backs. It was a style of tumbling evidently new to most of the spectators, who applauded | vigorously. Another style of gymnastics was much admired. The performer Would stand on a chair which was the apex of a pyramid of tables ami chairs, turn a somerset in the air, and land on another chair similarly elevated, with his legs crossed under him like a tailor. This feat'was done repeatedly by two performers dressed in a bewildering multitude of baggy trousers, skirts, jackets and cloaks. With the ordinary dress of an athlete the feat is calculated to break boili legs of the performer, but dressed as they were it was an astonishing exhibition. . A Chance for Expansion. A commercial traveller dropped ofl the train in a small western village, and upon getting into the 'bus, was driven about three miles to the hoteL "Is this town incorporated?" he finally inquired of the hotel runner who was the only other occupant ot the bus. "No." "Why don't you incorporate? Ii you did you would have a town bigger than Xew York."?&liftings. A tree at Mi canopy, Fla., bears fifty bushels of figs every year. Life. Life!

A reporter who had just done his first boat-race was rebuked by the city editor for not mentioning anywhere that the oarsmen "took water," and replied that none of them took water. They all took gin. Nothing more disgusts a party of Newport fox-hunters than ?o have an old cow get ahead of them and go racing and snorting along, with her tail in the air and terror in her soul. It looks as though they were chasing the cow, and that's not an English custom. The British Medical Journal, in discussing blushing and its scientific cause, has become sadly mixed on red cheeks and red noses. They are two very different reds. One is a charming indication of confusion or innocence, and the other means something else. The British medical editor should study young girls more and hisassortment of tonics less.

"How.did you ever cotno to devise this I schemcf" " i iiavo lire:: working at it ever since I was lar-e enough to band a pin." Tits above remark was addres'ed to Jlr. Seth Green, the veteran fish culturist. who is known to the entire world, and his reply indicates the extent of his labors. " IVlien I was quite young," he continued, ' I would lie on'the limbs of trees that r ached out over the water entire afternoons, wat diiug the movements of fbh -and studying their habits. ' Ih :his way I discovered many characteristics which were before unknown, j I saw, as ever}' observer must see, the do| strnctive elements that are warring against fish, anil I lta.ized that unless something was done the life in the streams of this country would become extinct. To counteract this disss'rous end became my life-work, and I am happy to say that I have seen its accomplishment." " Were j ou successful on the start?" " No, indeed.. Up to that time all artificial, attempts to hatch audi raise fish from the spawn had failed, and I was compelled to exjieriment in an entirely new manner. Tlie work was a careful and tedious one, but I finally succeeded, and to-day I am able to hatch and raise fully seventy-five per cent, of a:l spawn." " Eiioru ous ! "Why, that is a larger percentage than either the vege able or animal kingdoms produce in a natural condition." ' I know it, but we exorcise the greatest care in the s'.art, and guard the little fellows until they become able to care for themselves." . ' The foregoing conversation occurred at Caledonia, where the representative of tois paper was paying a visit to the State fish narcheries. it has been his privilege to report very many interestin c sights within the past twenty-five years, but the view presented here exceeds in interest anything ever bef re attempted. " How many fish are there in those ponds, Mi*. Green ?" "As we have never attempted to count them it will be impossible to say. They extend way up in the millions though. We shipped over three millions out of the ponds this year and there seemed to be as many afterward as before. We have nearly every variety of the trout family and many hybrids." " You speak of hybrids, Mr. Green. What do you mean by that ?" " I l ave experimented for years in crossing l he breed of the various fish and am still working upon it. We cross the female salmon front, wi h the male brook trout, and thus produce a hybrid. Then we cross the hybrid with the brook trout, which gives us three-nuartor brook trout and one-cjuarter salmoii trout. This makes one of the tinest fishes in the world. He has all the habits of the brook trout, lives in both streams and lakes, (levoksf&varmillion spots en his sides, ris cs readily to a tly, is far more vigorous ana full3r one-third larger than ordinnry brook trout of the same age. The possibilities of | development in the fish world are gre.it, and ' we are*rapidly ascertaining what they are.". As the man of news watched the countenance <f Mr. Green while he was giving the above account, he cou'd not hur. feel that he , was in the presence of one of the few investigators who, from a rich and lifelong experience, bring great benefit to the world. Let the reader imagine a strong and stalwart frame, surmounted bv a hea 1 strongly resembling tii at of Socrates, and covered with a whit * silky beard and luxuriant gray hair, f-'eth Green, the father of fish culture, is a Ei< ture of health, and the reporter could not elp remarking s:>. ' It you had seen me tie last winter and spring, young man. you might have thought differently," said the* veteran. ' How Is that i One would think, to look at you, that sickness was som. thing of which you knew nothing." "And so it was until last winter. I went clown into Florida in the fall to see what kind of fish they had in that S'.a'e and study their habits, and was attocked with malaria in its feverest form "nd when I ramj home 1 re- j aiT.od my fifu i.'mt I .wis sick. Mv symptomi were terrible. I had dull, aching pains in my head, limbs and around my back. My appetite was wholly gone, and I felt a lack of ener. y such as I had often heard described but had never experienced. Any one who has ever had a severe attack of malaria can appreciate my condition. I weutdo bed and remained there all spring, and if there ever was a sick man i was the one." " It seems hardiy possible. How did you come to recover so completely V "My brother, who had been afflicted by a revere kidney trouble anl thrortened with Bright's disiase, was completely cured by a remedy in which I had great confidence. I therefore tried the samo remedy fur mv malaria, and am hnppy to say I am a well man to-day, and through the instrumentality of Warner's Safe Cure, which I b iieve to be one of the most valuable of medicines. Indeed. I see it is indorsed by the United States medi":al college of New York, and that Dr. Gunn, 'lean of that institution, ha! written a long article concerning its value." 44 And are you now as well as formerly?" " Apparently so. I keep the remedy on hand all the while, though, and do not hesitate to recommend it to others." 44 One question more. How many ponds of fish have you here, and howare they divided:" 44 Well, wo have forty-three ponds, which are divided up as follows: Twenty-two pond; of brook trout, two ponds, of salmon trout wimr or roinlinw trnilf ftPA ponds of German trout, three of California mountain trout, two ponds of hybrids, four of one-quarter salmon and three-quarters brook trout, two ponds of gold fish and one pond of Carp. Then we have what we call the centennial pond or ' happy family.' consisting of crosses of different fish, including Keimc bee j alinon, Land Locked salmon, Ca;ifornia salmon, brook trout, salmon trout an l hybrids. These fish range in size from minnows to eighteenpoundors, and in ago from one and one-half months to eleven years. I forgot to | say, also, that wo have a 'hospital' pond, which is entirely empty, which speaks pretty well for a community of many millions. Indeed the whole secret of fish culture can be summed up in four things. Impregnation,?using no water. Plenty of food, Plepty of pure water and cleanliness." The numerous fish exhibitions which are taking place in all pans of Europe and the unusual intei-ost which is being manifested in this subject throughout the world all owe their origin to the proee.es above described as originated and conducted by Seth Green. It is certainly cause for congratulation to everv American that this c-untrv pro duces so many men whose genius "brings value to the wo. Id, and it is uroo.'' positive of the grea' est merit that a remedy even with such high standing as Warner's Fa c Cure is known to have' houid l>e so strong y indorsed and recommended by o:ie so reputable and reliable as Seih Orten.
