Many barrels of ice-cream does the average man swallow with never a grateful thought of that benefactor of mankind who invented the stuff in the first place. Bacon knew that by melting snow with salt congealation would occur in in any ceircum;acent liquid. But to him it was no more than an inedible, an ex- traordinary scientific fact. Further than that this noble seer never saw. It was a Frenchman who, in all his humble namelessness, preparing for the Due de Chartres in 1744, a snow -like dish, was the originator of ice-cream. .A century and a half before the like was known in England epicures in France were partaking of ices and aerated drinks, and their start is not laid even in France, for the French are said to have caught the trick from travellers returning from the sherbets of the Turlcs and Persians,—Boston Transcript.

At one time the bees were male and female in equal numbers. The irresponsi- ble male buzzed about, simply getting his own living, marrying and dying. The responsible female not only got her own living, but that of her children. Some- how, by and by, they came to see the the advantage of communal effort, and, just as women say to one another now, "If you'll wash the dishes Pll wipe 'em," one feminine bee said to the other, "P11 be mother if you'll get the living." It was a bargain, and the accommodating females took drones in to board. The queen of a beehive does not rule, she lays eggs. She does not mind the babies. She does not even do her own digesting, let alone getting the food. The attendants that surround her feed her with bee milk, secreted by glands in their heads. She has to be fed continual ly, for at certain periods she has the power of producing from two thousand to three thousand eggs a day, twice her own weight—four times, indeed, for more than half her weight is eggs. In her lifetime a prolific queen will lay. fifteen hundred thousand eggs. Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff. THE COST OF FIRING A CANNON. Modern naval warfare is one of the most costly things that can be imagined, A.nd a combat between two fleets means the expenditure of vast sums of money. Some idea of the high cost can be ar- rived at by taking a Japanese warship like the Ieasuga or Nisshin and ealel- Th/l ing the number of shots she would discharge, say, at Port Arthur. The first named ship carries four cannon which cost 8300,000 each. One of these gmn can fire two shots a minute, and every shot costs $400; thus in five min- utes 'these four cannon can discharge forty bombs at a. cost of $16,000. The smaller cannon cost each $18,000, and it is estimated that in five minutes the twelve cannon could discharge shot to the value of nearly $35,000.—Leslie's Weekly.

Take all's Family Pills for Constipation, The Religions of Japan. Upon the restoration of the present Japanese Emperor to power in 1868, it was deckled by the elder statesmen—the advisers to whose farsighted policy much of the present success of Japan in her struggle with 'Russia must be attributed —that it would be better to restore the ancient Shinto faith and get rid of Bud- hism as much as possible. In this way, Shintoism became the official national religion of Japan, and its rites are fol- lowed in all cases where the government is responsible for the celebration, though the common people are, as a rule, Budd- hists, while many of the nobles are fol- lowers of Buddha at heart. In other words, there is no strict line of demar- cation between the two faiths, and it is questionable whether the average Japan- ese individual could tell you to which sect he considered himself allied. The Emperor is the head of the Shin- to religion, and is himself worshopped as being directly descended from the gods, and every Japanese subject pays him homage as such head, but this does not interfere with the subject's worship of multifarious other deities of the wind, the ocean, fire, food and pestilence; of mountains and rivers, and of special ob- jects in nature—more than eight hund- red undred in. all. It was very simple to add to all these the gods of the Hindus when Budddhisni, was introduced from China, through Corea, in the sixth century of the Christian era, but it was not so sim- ple to displace them at the command of the statesmen. So the Buddhist priests still flourish, though shorn of the power and grandeur which were theirs under the rule of the Shoguns.—William Din- widdie's :lelanehuria letter 'in Leslie's Weekly. Great Guns of 016. We are aceustomed to think of large cannon as a very recent invention. Yet as long ago as 1543 a certain Ralph Hog- ge, of Buckstead, in Sussex, cast large guns, and a pupil of his, Thomas John- son, in 1595, made for the Earl of Cum- berland "42 cast pieces of great ordnance of iron." These weighed six thousand pounds—three tons—apiece, and we are told, showed very smooth, fine workman- ship. All the smelting was done with charcoal, of which it took three tons to smelt each ton of iron. Also all the ore was carried from the mine on pack horses, which took a load of about three hundred pounds each. The immense amotmt of labor and consequent expense may be imagined.

"Yes, ma'am," said Mary, in mild and expressionless assent. The old lady slept soundly and free from care, secure in the belief that the maid was comfortable. In the morning she again visited the kitchen. `'Well, Mary," she asked, "how did you get along with the flat- iron ?" Mary breathed a deep sigh of recollection.

It was introduced into England with the big ruff, in the time of Queen Elizabeth. It was like our starch of to -day ,except that it was made in colors, red, yellow, green and blue. The effect of this was to tint delicately the white linen to which the starch night be applied. Before Queen Elizabeth's time ruffles were made of fine holland, which requir- ed no stiffening. Then the ruffs of cam- bric came, and these must of necessity be starched. It is recorded that when the Queen had ruffs made` of lawn and cam- bric for her own royal wearing there was no one in England could tell how to starch thein, but the Queen made special inquiries for some woman that could starch, and Mrs. Guilham, wife of the royal coachman, Was the first starcher. In 1564 a Flanders woman, Frau Van der Plasse, came to London and estab- lished there a school for the teaching of starching. The school succeeded, and the Flanders frau got rich. She charged £5 a lesson and an extra twenty shillings for a receipt for the making of starch out of wheat flour, bran and roots. Orris Good '�+tnrra Deserves .Al.aaotR'ser.

ALPINE FATALITIES. Although Early, the List of Casualties is Already a Long One. The gravest of the accidents on the Higher Alps has been that of the Ober- Gabelhorn. This great conn of reddish rook, familiar to all habitues of Zermatt, is not considered in these latter days a difficult ascent, provided it is climbed by experts with reasonable precautions. Its rocks are steep, but they are also us- ually firm, and to the best of our recol- lection they have never hitherto been the scene of any mountaineering fatality. In this instance a party of Austrians were making the ascent from Zermattt, roped two and two, as is often the cus- tom on rocks, one tourist and one guide on each rope. Dr. Demelius was in charge of the guide Tembel, and was leading on the rope, when suddenly a great mass of rock which was serving as a foothold, gave way beneath his feet, carrying him and his luckless guide down with it to their death. The accident was thus closely similar to the well-known catastrophe on the Rothorn ten years ago, by which the guide Diner lost his life. Tbe sudden collapse ' of a foothold is one of those rare events which the moun- taineer must on occasions be prepared to chance, and against which, perhaps, no vigilance can guard. An accident of a quite different type was that by which in mid-July Miss Goodman lost her life. She was climbing with a party on the rope, when she slipped and fell. The rope broke, and the fall had fatal results. It is feared that this fatality was due to the employment of second-class cord. Otherwise it is mostexplicable, as the cases in which a rop of good quality has parted under the stt ss of a fall are few and far between. In the great and ever -memorable catastrophe on the Mat- terhorn by which Lord F. Douglas and Messrs. Hudson, Hadow and Croz lost their lives, the rope which broke was a weak and inferior one, which the guide .ought never to have used. The type of rope approved by the Alpine Club can be trusted in most emergencies if it be pro- perly used.—London Mail.
