Rapid Ri.11!
At the Wimbleton meeting, says the Ed-
i -burgh Scotentan-(speaking of the contest
for the Duke of Cambridge's prize, on July
19.) Private Farquharson, of the 5th
Perthshire, at the 200 yards range, manag-
ed to fire 49 shots in the iegulation two mi-
nutes, and had the 50th shot in his rifle
when the time was up, His score Was
eight bull's eyes, 16 centre, 23 outer -a
total of 126 points. His weapon was the
Henry Rifle. The London Times says "A few days ago, Private Warwick, with
the Soper-Hemy rifle at 200 yards range,
' for military breech -loaders, excited aston7
ishment by his score of 46 shots and 111
points made in the space of two minutes.'
This, hewever, has since been eclipsed by
Private Farquharson, ofthe 5th Perthithirq
who in the same interval, and at the'same
range, fired from a Henry rifle no less than
52 shots, of which five were buil's:eyes, 36
centres, and 21 miters, representing tatotal
score of 140. This feat becomes the more
astonishing when it is remembered that it
was roade on the same day that Private
Farquharson took his part as one of the
Scottish Eight in the long and arduous
match for the Elcho Shield. Ate500 yards
three minutes are allowed, and only tweia
ty shote are to be fired. Private Bird of
the South Middlesex, under these condi-
tions, made the highest score 70, consisting
of nine bull's-eyes, tie' centres, and two out-'
ers. He, as well as Color -Sergeant Brooks,
of the 12th Middlesex, and Sergeant Gild-
er, of the 18th Middlesex, who made scores
one point short of his own, shot with the
Henri. Martini Rifle. At the 800 yards
range, the competition is also tor. accuracy;
four minutes are allowed, and the limit is
to 12 shots. Corporal Andrews, of the
26th Keht, made 44 points, consisting of 8
buli's-eyes and 4 centres; Captain Rad-
cliffe, of the' South Middlesex and Mr. E.
Ross each made 42. They all shot with the
Mat tini-Henry.

Union Railway Depot at Cleveland,
Ohio.
The different railway companies whose
tracks centre at Cleveland, have united in
building a depot, of magnificent proportions.
The building is 603 feet in length and 180
in breadth, covering en area of 105,750
square feet, or a little more than two acres
and a half It is built of sandstone, from
the celebrated quarry of Mr. John Worth-
ington, at Ainherst. This, gentleman was
the contractor for the Masonry, and .the
cost of this alone was $100,000. The ef411s
are two feet in thickness, and contain 86,-
000 feet of stone. In the construction of
the foundation upon which the superstruc-
ture is placed, 41,000 cubic feet were used,
and a retaining wall to prevent the wash-
ing of the bank, contains 17,000 more, ma-
king the whole number of , cubic feet of
stone used 174,000. There are 43,000
square,feet of dressed upon the outer walls,
the remainder of the surface being what is
termed rock face," i.e., just as the blocks
are broken at the quarry. The entire north
wall is built upon piles driven firmly into
the ground. it having been deemed expedi-
ent to lay a stone foundation on account of
the water. The stupendous roof is sup-
ported by 49 iron trusses, and is the larg-
est roof in this country, if not in the world,
which is sustained without the aid of pillars.
The weight of iron used in these trusses is
nearly 400 tons. It is anchored down by
means of strong iron rods, fastened firmly
to the walls below. Abcut 170,000 feet of
lumber and ten toes of spikes were used in
forming the surfacei on which to lay the
slates. Of those 80,000 pieces were laid.
They were furnished by the Eagle Slate
Company of Vermont.; the entire product
of the works for some months was necessary
to supply the immense quantity required.
-Upon the southern slope of the roof,' inge-
niously laid with Eght colored slates are the
words, Union Passenger Depot," the, let-
ters being, ten feet in length. The entire
cost of the building pounds, and surround -
improvements, is aboutfive hundred thou-
sand dpltars.
.Q,geen Victoria's Wealth.
Queen Victoria is, or ought by this time
to be, very wealthy. She has from pailia-
ment a grant of £365,000 a year, and the
palaces, save those whichare her private
property, are kept at the public expense. -
During the life of the Prince Consort,
whose allowance was £30,000 a year, when
the Court entertained a good deal, the de-
partment of the Lord Steward, Lord Cham-
berlain and Masters of the Horse, no doubt
exhausted the sums appropriated to them,
but of late years, since the habits of the
Queen have become so extremely retired,
it is believed thatl nothing like the same
expenses can have been incurred, and that
large savings have been effected.
The Queen also derives an income from
another source. About fifteen years ago
an eccentric old gentleman named Neale,
who had no relatives with any claim on
him, left her £500,000,
On her accession to the throne the Queen
did not inherit a sixpence. On the contra-
ry her only inheritance was the heavy debt
left her by herfather, whose it ife was one
long career of hopeless illfort ne and em-
barrassment. These debts the lQueen fully
liquidated. Although her civ 1 list is less
than that of her grandfather and uncles,
she has always been noted as a prompt
payer, and has, besides, managed to pur-
chase the very valeable properties • of Os-
borne and Balmoral. •
Again while George the Third received
Parliamentary grants, amounting to many
thousands a year, for his younger sons' ex-
penses almost from their infancy, Queen
Victoria asked for nothing until her sons
were men, and still defrays all Prince Ar-
thur's expenses. Yet the British public
complains, though not by any means angri-
ly or loudly, that not enough of the large
sum given for representation functions is
spent upon them.

Care of One's Teeth.
Rosseau said that no woman with fine
teeth could be ugly. Any female with a
good set of ivories in kissable. The too
early loss of the first teeth has an unfavor-
able influence upon the beauty and durative-
ness of the second. The youngest children
should accordingly be made to take care of
them. All that is necessary in to brush them
several times a day with a little ordinary
soap or magnesia and water. ?
Grown people should clean their teeth at
least five times in the course of twenty-
four hours, on rising in the morning and
going to bed each night, and after each meal.
A brush as hard as can be borne without
pain should be used, anti the best of all ap-
plications is pure soap , and water, always
lukewarm.
After eating, all particles of food should
be carefully removed from the teeth by
means ot a tooth -pick of quill or wood, but
never of metal, and by thread. passing be-
tween the teeth. Tooth powders are inju-
rious both to the enamel and the gums, and
if employed every particle of them should
be removed from the mouth with careful
rinsing.
The habit which some people have of
using a bit of lemon, though it imay whiten
the teeth and give temporary firmness and
color to gums, is fatal to the enamel. as are
all acids.
It is not safe to bring very hot food or
drink, especially if followed by anything
cold, in contact with the teeth,
The Crown Prince in ACtion.
.The London Times correspondent with
the Prussian headquarters was the accident-
al and -unsnen witness of a little scene which
is worth recording. A country cart was
rumbling down the street with two wound-
ed officers -young men -on their way to
the station. An 'officer on foot beckoned
to the driver to stop, the occupants of
which had tried to salute him, but he Made
a gesture, and leaning over entered into
conversation with them for ten minutes,
evidently asking after their wounds. Or/
parting he shook. each of them by the hand,
and continued his way up the street, ac-
companied by two -other officers.
He halted at my quarters; a-Acl inquired
if there were .any wounded , inside -they
had been removed, some to thM-r last rest-
ing place -then went on, and, meeting a
cart full of wounded soldiers, he 1 talked to
them each in turn, and so went on visiting
the hospitals and the wounded in this un-
ostentatious manner. It was the Crown
Prince. No wonder his men arc fond of
him. Ma/ay did not know him till he pass-
ed on. He told how the soldiers. one and
all, seem to rejoice in their wounds, and
make light of them for the sake of the
cause, and their wasan honest exultation
in his tone at the honor of commanding
such troops.

The Greatest Men.
Beecher says: "Aaron Burr was a keen-
er thinker than George Washington. He
was a..fer More ingenious man, a far more
active man; and if he had been a ipOral
man, and had -maintained moral relations
with himself, with his fellow men, and with
the lawsofrectitude .he would have been
an abler man. Washington was a man of
good sense, but he was a genius in any di-
iection except that of conscience. He .was
a man' of sin„eular equity, of great disinter-
estedness, and .of a pure and upright, intent.
Sagacious he V.$,• by the light which comes
from integrity.- He endured, having faith
to believe that right was right,and that
right would in the end prevail. That which
made Washington the only great hero of
our revolutionary struggle, was the light of
the -moral element in him -not an intellec-
tual genius whieh he possessed ; not any
rare. taut in administration ; nor any remar-
kable executive power. And if you look
back upon those names in our history that,
have best stood the test, you will find that
they have been men Who were fruitful in
the highest moral elements. And as time
tees on, those men who lack these elements
sink lower and lower, while the others rise
till they reach the meridian, with undying
splendor to -shine upon history and the
world."
