Army Returns for 1891 V The preliminary return of British army for 1890 bas been issued from the War Offite. It shows that on the 1st of January of this year the whole effective strength was 210,- 499, a total ocly exceeded in two years (1888 and 1889) since 1872, the highest point reached in that period being 211,030. The cavalry numbered 18,895 horse artillery, 3787; other artillery, 31,770; migineers, 7305 ; foot guards, 5517 '• and lineinfantry, 133,557. The average strength during last year was 209,221. Qn the ist of January there were at home 1e4,591, in India 72,196, in Egypt 3240, and in the colonies 28,669. The total of the rank and file on January 1 was 185,547, or 4602 below the authorised establishment of 190,149. Recruits last year numbered 31,407 ; the 'allele number being between 18 and 19 years of age, 15,378. The discharges lumbered 11,718, and 14,128 were sent into the reserve, the strength of the lattsr on the 1st of January being 59,- 216, the largest total, yet reached. At the same date the militia rank and file stood at 101,820, or 25,715 below the establishment,. The yeomanry cavalry were 10,697, and the volunteers 221,048, of whom 512,293 were efficients.

The 3farvettous Invention of it Western Genius. mid ILI mode or operation. Prof. Richard do Long, the inventor of tho new feline motor, is it tall, pale -faced inn, with a three-story, bay window fore- head overhanging a par of deep-set, sky. blue eyes, set on mole aide of it large, thin, hooked nose. Ile is not it beauty; but he is a genius. His feline motor, which at present creating such A sensation in scientific circles in Staughton, Wis., is a marvellous machine, unique an appearance and wonderfulin oper- ation. It may be deseribed as a curious combination of largo and small fly -wheels, great balance-waeels, bright steel rods, and an almost innumerable number of coilsof cop- per w i re, oll joined too Intgb tly polistedcylin- der of brass, one mil ef which projects Into a wire cage filled with ordinary cats. Its opursttion is very simple, lint surprising in its results. A slight pull on & small nickel - plated lever starts the machine. Then like ligInning from out tbe end of the cylinder projeeting into the cage there shoots a long steel arm aria hand, grabbing elle of the cats by the nape of the neck and yanking it into the cylinder, where it diseppeas with a yawl of more than feline terror. In it moment the fiy-wheels, the great balance -wheels, and all or the complicated machinery begins to move, at first slowly, but soon with startling rapidne. At the proper moment, which is indicates1 by it small clock -like attachment, the operator pulls another lever, when from out of the other end of the cylinder, with hair and tail erect, scintillating eyes, and a caterwaul (Relocating to one's spinal column, the eat is projected into a tub of cold water prepared for its reception. This operation, surprising as it may seem, extracts from the cat electricity equivalent to the power represented by ten horses, working for one hour. and this power can be stored in the cylinder until needed. As a cat can be run through the motor every three minutes, and allthe accumulating electricity be stored, the power of the ma- chine is practically limitleks. The same cat can be used once every ten hours without in the least impairing its health tend general usefulness. The Professor is jubilant over the success of his iuvention. He is satisfied that he hap overcome every difficulty, and intends soon to put the machines upon the market. In speaking of the origin of the iuvention and the probable results of its use, he says : "1 have long believed that the cat is nature's Leyden jar, charged with an enor- mous amount of electricity, but in soch a 'manner as to require is peculiar process to extract it. This process it has been my good fortune to discover. The discovery will be of incalculable benefit to mankind. It will revolutionize the, meehanical World and be felt in every department of life.

In tbe evening the mayor want to it concert hall. "Into this reaort,"seye a petition and complaint of Baja citizens to the Hungarian initiator of the Interior, "the Imperial awl Royal Capt. Baron Veesey, the Imperial md lloyal Lieuts. Joa.novies and Eber, and the Royal Hungarian Lieut. Slim forced their way with drawn arms, and, brandishing whips, called on the mayor to come outside. Amu' a storm of indignant protests the may. or said that lie might be fouod at his office the next day, end underpressure of the over- powering demonstration the officers with- drew. The audience's expression of detestit. tion and defiance can hardly be described. We hope that the honored government will at once take effective roeasnres in this mat- ter." The court of inquiry which was immedi- ately ordered, however, was not quick enough to prevent another "military "dem- onstmtion. A Pesth editor and member of parliament allowed himself the perilous luxury of a few criticisms of the Baja offi- cers. Be was challenged to fight, and al- though he bed a wife and three children he accepted the challenge. The officers drew lots fot a man to meet him. The choice fell on a married captain. Another drawing re- sulted in the choice of is married lieutenant. Lots were cast again and is bachelor lieuten- ant was elected. He was a famous swords- man and every one thought it was all up with the editor. At the tenth thrust, how- ever, the civilian struck his antagonist in the shoulder. The duel was stopped and the lieutenant's wound found to be dangerous, He was taken to the house of it friend for medical treatment. He lies there still and the official inquiry into the whole scandal proceeds. A Brave Mouse. An amusing incident was witnessed some time ago in a street in Liverpool, in which a small mouse figured as a high wire per- former, attracting the attention of a large number of spectators of both sexes. When the mouse was first seen he was on a tele- graph pole, and is supposed to have come from one of the telegraph conduits, which are infested with mice. Froin the pole the little rodent proceeded to walk deliberately along one of the telegraph wires. He had not advanced far when he was seen by two sparrows, who immediately showed fight, probably because they thought the wires the exclusive properby of their tribe, and resented the intrusion. The sparrows would sweep down as near as they dared, giving vent to their peculiar, shrill notes of anger; but as the mouse also showed fight, they were a little afraid of making too close an acguaintanee. The two sparrows were soon joined by others; and if their cries had been of any avail would flame come off victorious. As it was, the mouse travelled on to the next pole in safety, and quickly deseendthg to the ground, was soon lost to eight. A Reputed Letter of Mohammed. Prof. Karabacek, the well known Vienna Orientalist, made an interesting statement at the last sitting of the Pietism Academy of Seiertee. It appears , that the -library ot the Sultan of Turkey contains a letter of -Mo- hammed which was discovered in the middle •of the -century in Coptic monastery, and was •bought in 1858 by Sultan Abdul 1V/eShid for half a million .piastres. 1( 15 belie,ved to be genuine, and•ts regarded by the whole Mo- hammedan 'world as a sacred relic. Prof. Karabacek, who has east doubts upon the genuineness of the letter, now thinks that he is in is posi Hon to prove that it is a for. gery.—[Pall Mall Gazette. • BIG SROUT low *he eitition, Is Crowing* coeconeee ORAWTIL BY 1411113 AND Bilk In 1878 Caned?. had 6,143 miles of raa, way; 1890 she had, 13,938., In 1878 she employed 23,102,551 tons of shipping in tbe coasting trade, ond in thee transport of her exports awl imports by *ea and ma the great lakes; in 1890 Cooed* in the sato ser -ten employed 41,243,210 teros of shipping. , In li,78 the letters and post carast wimp by the Post Office Department numbered - 50.80,000; 1890 theynumbered 109400, 000, 1311678 the deposits in the charteret comic* mid in the varioussl,vings banks in fAia Do. minion were ,1!d;888,995in 1890 they aremottea to 819705.452. in 1878 the money orders receivoi (ma sent out by the money order brauPh of the post office departmene amounted to $7,130.- op1e ; lie90 they anionnteAl W811,907,884 In ins the business of the couotrypegoire ed a note circulation ef$29,786,805; 1890 it required it note circuletiou of 047,417,- 071.

It was in Indis, Dinner was just finieh- ad in the mess000m, awl several ,English offieers were sitting about the table. Their bronzed faces had the sot but not unkindly look common among military men. The conversation, at beat, had not hem animat- ed, and just now there was it lull, as the night wee too hot for small talk. Tile Major of the regiment, a elemocut man of fifty-five, turned toward his next neighbor at the table, a young subaltern, who was laming back in his chair with his hands claapea behind bighead, staring through the cigar smoke at the ceiling. Tbe Major was slowly looking the man over, from his handsome face down, when, with sudden alertness, and in a quiet, steady voice, he said: " Don't move, please, Mr. Carruthers. eyelet to try an experitnent withyou. Don't move it muscle," "All right, Major," replied the subaltern, without even turning bis eyes. "Hadn't the least idea, of moving, I assure you. What's the game?" By this time all the others were listening in alazily expectant way. "Do you think," continued the Major, and his voice trembled just it little, "Do you think you can keep absolutely still for, say, two minutes—to save your life 7" "Aro you joking ?" "On the contrary, move a muscle a, your are a dead man. Can you stand the strain ?" The subaltern barely whispered, "Yes," and his face paled slightly.

Like a marble statue sat the young subal- tern in his white linen clothes, while a cobra di capello which had been crawling up the leg of bis trousers, slowly raised ita head, then turned, descended to the floor, and glided towards the milk. Suddenly the silence was broken by the report of the Major's revolver, and the snake lay dead on the floor. Thank you, Major," said the subaltern, as the two men shook landswarmly. "You have savea my life." You're welcome, my boy "replied the senior. "But you did your share.' Strange Story of a Ship's Captain. An extraordinary oecurrencehappehed off Dover on Sunday afternoon. A party of Deal boatmen were cruising in the Channel when the steaanship Nestor, from Iquique to Hamburg, passed themsome distance off. As the vessel proceeded they saw a man jump from the ship into theses,. They rowed to the spot in about a quarter of an hour and rescued the man, who proved to be Om captain of the ship, Mr. Weiss. He offered them a reward of £250 to pick him up end take him ashore, and he was event/ 44y conveyed to an hotel at Dover, where he was seen by the representatives of the (inc. man Consul and a medical man. His hieesery ie a very strauge one, and he still seehis somewhat excited. According to his state- ment, it appears that he was taken ill with brain fever on the passage home, and for some cause or other was put in irons, the' mate taking charge of the ship. Upon en- tering the Channel he was released from the irons, but kept to his cabin. He states that. he arranged with the cabin boy to give him a signal when they mare in sight of a small boat, and epee receiving the signal he a.t once ran from the cabin and leapt over the ships side, taking a small parcel with him.
