SAY ne a === RR PETGNNRRRIEPNR SDSS OF GENERAL INTEREST. -In the United States there are about sixteen million cows—one for every four persons. —Housekeepers know ‘‘boneless cod- fish,” and now a member of the United States fish commission announces that the boneless shad is in process of evo- lution and well advanced toward com- pletion. He does not lose his bones in the same way as the cod, to-wit, after death, but by careful breeding and cross- ing. —The largest pumping engine ever made in this country has just been placed at the Philadelphia waterworks. It weighs nine hundred and fifty thou- sand pounds, is thirty-five feet high, and occupies a floor space of thirty by forty feet. Twenty million gallons of water are pumped every twenty-four hours. —A famous duchess in London recent- ly went through the ordeal of having a dress made on her own figure. She stood for three hours while the dress- makers wrought fifty yards of rare old lace that could not be ent into a gown for a soiree, at the close of which every stitch had to be carefully cut and picked out before the lady could dis- robe. lelphia has six day nurseries : working women with children ranging from three months to eight years of age can leave them from 6:3 in the morning until 6:30 at night. Three meals and ample amusements are given, costing the mother six cents aday. These institutions are support- ed by voluntary contributions. Other them on much the same ashington state building at the world’s fair will show to some ex- tent the forest resources of the state. The foundation alone will contain 171 logs, some of them 120 feet long and 48 inches in diameter at the small end. The superstructure of the building will contain, besides heavy timber, fine fin- ished woods, showing the grain and structure of the woods, and a complete exhibit of shipbuilding material. —Taking the length of the permanent ways on the surface of the globe at nearly sixty thousand geographical miles, with a daily average of ten trains, it is estimated that the total loss by wear and tear suffered each day by the metallic rails of the earth is about six hundred tons. The six hundred tons are lost in the form of a fine pow- der, and are carried back to the earth in the shape of soluble iron salts. Director-General Davis has asked the state department at Washington to make public the following ruling re- garding the placarding of goods at the exposition: ‘Foreign exhibitors in the World's Columbian exposition will be permitted to state upon placards at- tached to their exhibits the prices at which said products will be sold at the place of manufacture, and also the prices in bond and out of bond, or ex- elusive and inclusive of the customs duties in Chicago.” —The disappearance of the Jim Fisk restaurant recalls to an old New York- er that there were as cheap restaurants in New York forty years ago as now. In the fifties there was a famous cheap restaurant on Chatham square. Here one could buy for 614 cents a good slice of beef with potatoes and turnips. For 6'{ cents more he could have plum pud- ding with a rich sauce. Thus one ob- tained for 12! cents, the old York shil- ling, a wholesome and satisfying meal, and not always in bad company. —A late census bulletin states that there are about 1,500,000 more males than females in the sixty-two anda half millions of population. In the New England and Middle states there are 45,000 more females than males. In the south middle section, including the di: trict, the females outnumber the males by some 20,000. While in the northern central section of the country, as far west as Nebr: , the males are in the majority by over $09,000, in the south central portion this excess reaches only about 200,000. In the western section of the country the predominance of the males is shown by a majority of over 500,000. —On the western prairie is found what is called the compass plant, which is of great value totravelers. The long leaves at the base of its stem are placed, not flat, as in plants generally, but ina vertically position, and present their edges north and south. The peculiar propensity of the plant is attributed to the fact that both surfaces of its leaves display an equal receptivity for light (whereas the upper. surfaces of the leaves of most plants are more sensitive to light than the lower); the leaves thus assume a vertical position, and point north and south. Travelers on dark nights are said to feel the edges of the leaves to ascertain the point of the com- pass. —Edwin Ellis, some of whose famous Southdown sheep are to be exhibited in this country at the coming world’s fair, is not only a great landowner and anenergetic business man, but also a philanthropist. He has built near his home in Surrey, England, an experi- mental row of neat cottages for his tenants, an ideal schoolhouse, and a club house for the people, and his daughter has a wood-carving class among the tenants. The club house has provision for billiards and other games, a prettily decorated social hall capable of seating five hundred per- sons, and a library of eight hundred or more volumes, with numerous peri- odicals. —A witness in a case recently on trial in one of the courts in Boston testified that the defendant was not a drinking man ‘“‘and only took cocktails.” Judge Blank, who presided, is a teetotaler. He noticed among the spectators a well- known physician, a bon vivant, and at the recess called him up to the bench and asked him to define a cocktail. ‘tA cocktail,” responded the doctor, “is a feather dippe: din an em! ollient which is applied toa ritated throat for the removal of rness or irritation.” The learned ju nked him, but the story that subsequently dipped a fe neand touched i he impression <tail is proba- bly a lawy "AN OLD BACHELOR'S YARN. | _ ‘What He Saw and How He Made a Pretty Story Out of It. ‘The man who has a vein of sentiment and is not ahamed of it had a little ro- mance, or what he chose to regard asa romance, to tell about the other even- ing. One of his office rooms, as every one knows who has been in his office for the last ten years, looks out on a court. Directly across the court are the win- millinery shop, and on the upper side of the court those of an elec- trical establishment. They are all on dows of a the same level. “T used to notice when I looked out into the court,” he said, ‘a young wom- aninthe millinery shop who worked industriously at the window.
