New York Scottish American : In re- sponding to the toast of "The Scotch _American," at St. Andrew's dinner in New 13(tark, Mr. Andrew Carnegie said: John ic..nox did not pass into immortality for his tocclesiastical or literary powers, but for statesmanship, and because he in- sisted that there should be a public school in every parish. In this country people boast of their Public Schools and educational system, but the seed was laid in -Scotland. Regarding the Scottish -American, Mr. Carnegie quoted the statement made in Rancroft's " History of the United States," that the first voice for independence came mot from the Puritane of New England, not from the Dutch of New York, not from the families of Virginia, but from the Scotch Presbyterians of North Carolina. That showed that the Scotsman engaged for • centuries in defending the liberties of his awn cottutry, was awake to any menace to liberty in the country of his adoption. Another service of the Scotch -American wan found when after independence had been de - eared, and won in the field, a constitution had to be drawn up for the young country. 'That constitution, the grandest political work ever conceived. was the production of .Alexander Hamilton, a Scotch -American, and one of the greatest ndnds that ever figured in American history. Mr. Carnegie closed with an earnest appeal for the feder- ation of all English-speaking peoples. Sad Plight °Mike Cities. In two weeks after a declaration o war, England could place 50 gunboats on the lakes and more than 30 armored vessels in the harbors of our leading cities and could concentrate 75,000 regular troops in Canada, backed by a sturdy militia ready to march ,acrosa our border, while in twice that time part of her Asiatic squadron could sail through the Golden gate. Oar lake frontier is er, cobweb. No land defences of such towns as Chicago, situated on the shore itself, could save them from bombardment tThe best army could not protect Chicago against a mediocre modern fleet. The ship- ping and commerce of the lakes is attrac- tive. The goods afloat and ashore suffice to pay a huge war indemnity. They are all at the mercy of an English flotilla. Some people imagine that modern war has been humanized out of such measures as bom- bardment. But Paris was bombarded in 3870 ; so was Strasburg, and its beautiful cathedral spire was seriously injured. War las no msthetic maxims. The occupation of et seaport leaves no alternative but submis- Sion and the payment of a heavy ransom— er bombardment. In a town like Chicago this would be followed by fire, and we all remember the $2 1,000,000 lost in the fire of 1871. --The Forum. A Good Democrat. Hon. R. P.

Between them they gave St. Thomas' Church, in New York city, $50,000 to enact; as a memorial to their son, the building known as St. Thomas' House, at Fifty- ninth and Sixtieth streets and Second :avenue. The Flower Hospital, connected with the Homeopathic Medical College in New York, was a gift from Mr. Flower. Two years ago he joined his brother Anson in building a $100,000 cherch for Tripity Episcopal Church in Watertown. In making this gift the only conditions imposed were that the seats should always be free. In the village of Theresa, where Mr. Flower was born, he erected, at his own expense, a handsome church as a memorial to his parents. A score of poor, but worthy families in Watertown have for some slight service, been given comfortalle homes, and many others have been helped in various ways. Mr. Farrer is a Unitarian.

Eye of a Family of Seven Burned to Death at Detroit, TWO BO AND SE13,VANT GIRL EflOAPN A Detroit despatch says: A frightful fatality occurred shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, when, in the partial burning of the two-story brick store and residence of George J. Reis, corner of Orleans and Cath- arine streets, five persous lost their lives. The list of the dead includefive members of Mr. Reis' family of seven, viz., Mr. Reis himself, his wife and three sons, Eight persons occupied the apartments above the store, but three of theme—the servant girl and two sons, Moxy and Tony—escaped. It was within a few rnornents of 2 o'clock a. m. that Patrolman Frank Derbies noticed the blaze two blocks away. . The fire was in the front part of the store and spreading rapidly. He at once sounded the alarm, and although the department arrived on the scene promptly the flames had spread through the entire store. Immediately after giving the alarm Officer Dorkies ran to the burning building, and saw the servant girl and Tony Reis climbing out of the front window to the cornice. Another boy, Mode, aged 15, was on a roof back of the building. The latter climbed down the lightning rod, and escaped uninjured, as did aleo 'form and the servant girl, who jumped to the sidewalk. When the door leading to the rear stairway of the house was broken open a frightful sight met the view. Lying.in a heap at the foot of the stairway were the bodies of Mr. Reis and his wife, burned to a crisp. The firemen at once made their way to the upper floor, and there found, first the body of Charles Reis, aged 20, stretched on the floor near a side window, and in one of the front rooms were found the bodies of the two boys, recognized as Eddie Reis, aged 8, and Josie, aged 12. All three had been suffocated by the smoke. Ile bodies were taken from the burning building. The dead are : George J. Reis, aged 50 ; Mrs. Reis, his wife, aged 45 ; Charles Reis, son, aged 20; Josie Reis, son, aged 12 ; Eddie Reis, son, aged 8. George J. Reis was an old and respected citizen, having lived in the vicinity of his awful death for more than twenty years. There is no clue as to the origin of the fire. The damage to the building and contents will amount to about $2,000. A HAVEN FOR CRANKS. New York Overran Mill as Mannerene species (mike Gentry. A New York despatch says: The crank season is booming. The incarceration in the asylum of the man who tried to shoot Dr. Hall last Sunday, and the deplorable results that followed the attempted killing of Russell Sage a few days later, have evi- dently only had the effect of bringing other madmen out of their shells. One of them was arraigned in Yorkville Police Court on Saturday on a charge of sending a threaten- ing letter to a retired wine merchant named Conrad Harris, of this city. The man's name is Otto Weyrauch. He is a wild - looking German of about 50 years, with no permanent residence. About a year ago lie visited Mr. Harris and asked for money, which he got. He re- peated his visits and requests for aid until Harris grew tired of him, and refused to give him any more money. On Saturday Mr. Harris received a letter from him demanding $500, and informing him that if he paid no attention to his request he would be the next man to be blown up. Weyrauch gave` his addreas as No. 134 Sussex street, Jersey City, to which place he wished the money forwarded. Mr. Harris handed the letter to the captain of the East 88th Street Police Station, who sent Detective Purcell to Jersey City, who found the man and arrested him. When he was searched in the station house a large envelope was found 021 him containing a photograph of himself and a letter headed "My last will and testament; to the grave -digger." Following this was the statement," Please do not handle me rough until you know that I am dead." Weyrauch told the judge he wrote the letter in a spirit of fun. He was committed pending an examination as to his sanity. A 'Monster Wave in the mecum. A San Francisco despatch, announcing the arrival last week of the steamer China from the Orient, says she was struck on her outward trip and nearly swamped by an immense wave, believed tohave been caused by the recent japan earthquake. There can be little reason to doubt that this gigantic wave was due to a mighty throe in the deep bed of the Pacific. Such anomalous waves are not unknown in the grandest of oceans. On the evening of May 10th, 1876, one of these monster movements occurred in the angle of the Pacific bounded by the Peruvian and Chilian shores and swept with almost resistless force over a vast expanse of waters. This tremendous oscillation of the sea began a few hours after violent earthquake shocks in Peru—the sea first receding from the land and then, with concentrated force, rushing in sublimely upon Callao, Iquique and Arica eight times. A similar ocean wave on August 13th, 1868, following an earthquake, was most disas- trous at Iquique and Arica, where its esti- mated height was fifty feet. On islay'lOth, 1876, the sea was said to have risen sixty-five feet in Mixillones Bay and reached the Sandwich islands (6,000 miles distant) very early the next morning. So elevated and extensive an uprising of the sea,, moving with enormous velocity, con- stitutes the greatest peril to which a staunch steamship can be subjected. If ex- posed to its full force and sustaining its direct impact, it is doubtful if any vessel could survive. The experience of the steamer China would mein, therefore, to warn navigators on the Pacific to avoid as far as poseible those parts of the ocean which are known to be most liable to such overwhelming commotions.

On the abdication of Dom Pedro his father, in 1831, he succeeded to the throne of Brae'', but, being a minor, the country was ruled by u Council of Regency until 1840. Fle wee a Iran of a very high order of intelligence, and well known in Europe and the United States. He did a great deal to develop the Material resources of the country, which prospered under his rule. In 1871 he iesued an imperial decree for the gradual abolition of shivery. The total emancipation of the slaves in his dominion was effected in 1888. On Novem- ber 16, 1889, a revolution broke out -which was supported by the army. The Ministry resigned, and a provisional government was formed under the presidency of General da Foneeca. The provisional government on the same day declared the Monarchy abol- irshed, and, on the 17th, the ex -Emperor and his family were compelled to leave for Europe. The ex -Emperor has since resided in Portugal,and rapidly failed in health. His wife, Princess Theresa Christina Maria, sister of Francis I. King of Naples, whom he married. tn 1843, died shorty after the revolution. Dorn Pedro was a lineal descendant of the houses of Braganza, Bour- bon and Hapsburg. A SMALL HAUL. Masked Robbers Hold lip a Train But Get Only $65. A Rome, Ga., despatch says : A daring train robbery occurred on the East Ten- nessee, Virginia & Georgia Railway last night. When the train which leaves Rome for Selma at 10.30 p. m. on the Alabama division arrived at a station about two miles from the city it was flagged down, and when stopped two masked men boarded the express oar. Messenger Sims and one of the train hands were in the car at the time, and the robbers covered thein with their pistols and demanded the cash. Mes- senger Sims handed them the money, which was only $65, and when assured that was all they could secure, they quietly retired from the car and escaped through the bushes. So quietly was the robbery con- ducted that the thieves had carried out their purpose and escaped before anyone on the train realized the situation. Deputy Sheriff Turner left here this morning with a posse of men and a pack of bloodhounds in pursuit of the robbers, and another posse left on a special engine to join Sheriff Turner. , Philosophy of the Street. Hot tempers are like burning strawpiles, principally exhausting to themselves. There are times when it really looks as though people traveled on their helpless- ness. The acme of laziness is to lean on theback of a worker's chair and suggest amend- ments. Nothing destroys influence in male or female so fast as getting the name of being a scold. Persistent waiting on a man will make a helpless imbecile of him faster than filling him with narcotics. The first indication a woman gives of having a special regard for a man is When she begins to tidy him up.—Milwaukee Journal. Mrs. large tra Japan. Mrs. (Dr.) Stewart, of Palmerston, re- ceived a letter from her sister,. Mrs. Large, who is in Japan, one day last week. There is no further development in the case of the self -accused murderer of. Mr. Large, but the writer speaks of an earthquake at Tokio just before she commenced her letter. The house in which she resides shook for some seconds like a ship on water, so much so as to cause Mrs. L. to experience a strong dizziness. The bricks in the chimney were heard to crack, and Mrs. Large stood in the doorway of the house, with her child in her arms, ready to rush out. Fortunately the shock subsided without much damage having been done. Inenn Knowledge. To purify water hang a small bag of char- coal in it. For toothache try oil of sassafras and apply it frequently, if necessary. Vinegar bottles may be cleansed with crushed eggshells in a little water. To brighten carpets wipe them with warm water in which has been poured a few drops of ammonia. If the color has been taken out of silks by fruit stains ammonia will usually restore the color. A good liniment for inflammation, rheu- matism, swellings, etc., is olive oil well saturated with camphor. A good cement is melted alum, but it must never be used where water and heat cannotcomc in contect with it. In Training, .

The greatest market for will animals in the m odd, the place where circuses and Museums purchase their wild beast curiosi- ties, is the establishment of the firm of Hagenbech, in Hamburg.

Att Othi Set or Calculations by Mr, wells. throler the heading "Four Bubdred Ml - ions of $i1ver1 What does it Mop, ?" Mr. Pavicl A, Wells, writing in .12coper's Weekly, says: The Treasury of the United States had in store on the let ef October, 1891, 348,841,- 103 silver dollars ; $15,848,620 in the form of subsidiary eilver ; silver bars to the value of $41,579,253 '• trade dollars (bars), $2,894,260—total 8400,161,326, or in round numbers, $400,000,000. The Government, furthermore, is increasing this immense store by buying seven additional tons of silver everal working day in the year. • Now, what does $400,000,000 worth of silver mean? Coined into dollars the pro- duct will weigh over 22,000,000 pounds avoirdupois, or 11,000 net tons ; and if its movement is desirable will necessitate for so doing the use of 1,00) railroad freight cars carrying eleven tons each, or 2,200 cars carrying five tons each, or 5,500 two -horse waggons carrying each two tons. Assuming a load of 100 pounds per man, an army of 220,000 men would be required to carry the mass, and would make a file, in close order, 80 miles long, occupying 30 hours in "passing a given point," allowing for halts or rests." A cubic inch of pure silver weighs about 0.38 pound, and a cubic foot about 657 pounds. Hence,the $400,000,000, if melted into a solid mass, would occupy some 36,- 500 cubic feet, which in turn would make a solid column of pure silver a foot square and about 6e miles high --the Washington Monu- ment being 551 feet. The Treasury counts its silver by weigh- ing it, which is the part of wisdom' in view of the fact that a man, counting atthe rate of 200 dollars per minute, steadily for eight hours a day, Sundays includecle would be kept busy for considerably over eleven years. Piled one upon the other, the $400,000,- 000 would attain a height of 675 miles ; and placed side by side they would carpet a room fifty feet wide and nearly twenty-four miles long. WHEN ADE TIDE GOES our. New York Nurses Say the Old Legend is Trite. " When the tide goes out he will die." With assurance born of long experience beside deathbeds, the nurse in somber gray whispered these words to one of the suffer- er's friends last night in a tenement house in Seventeenth street. The man had been workbag on the dock, and a crane bad fallen and struck him on the head. They bore him away to his squalid home. The company had sent a doctor and a nurse, but these were now of no avail." "It is only a legend." "Yes, it is only a legend, but wait and see. There was a faint ticking of the clock, but that was all that broke the silence of the next few hours. The night ebbed slowly away. Dawn was almost breaking. "The tide—it is very near the full now,': whispered the patient watcher. "Come closer if you want to see him die." And the little group in the room drew closer. And so, too, he died, died when the tide went out at break oi day ; and out on the bosom of the tide had swept away, towards a great, unlighted sea, a human soul. " It is only a legend, I know," said the nurse afterwards, but I have been beside many deathbeds and never yet have 'known the fancy to prove false. There seems to be even in death, as in life, a strange tide, and in the case of death a tide in some etrange sertelelended and acting in keeping with the circle of tbe tide that runs out to the ocean."—N.

In an aristocratic boarding house off Wal- nut hill, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, lives a middle-aged and well-to-do bachelor, whose business habits keep him down town until late at night. In the same house are many charming ladies, and among them a very pretty widow, who for purposes of designation may be called Mrs. C. On Sat- urday night they were merrily playing tricks about the house, and finally invaded the room of Mr. R., the bachelor above mentioned. With one of the luminous crayons now so common, in the composition of which phosphorus forms a prominent part, they dr ew upon the wall, in large letters, this exhortation: CONFESS THY SINS. " Then they slipped into the next room as R. entered the front door and listened with the aid of an open transom. When R. entered his bed chamber it was dark, and he at once caught the blazing warning on the wall ; but he also heard whispering and giggling in the next room, and, being of ready wit, he at °nee dropped upon his knees and broke forth : "Good Lord, I confess all of my manifest sins, especially in that I kissed Mrs. C. in the parlor last evening." There was adcrash as of falling chairs in the adjoining chamber and the sound of fleeing females. But they do say that Mr. R. and Mrs. C. are soon to be married.

THE Ousetion COURANT. 77 Murray Street, N.1, . arlt, eliessemeleniesendellie eeet " Stninteeileet team • "s THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. A Norway Restriction Which is Said to Work Wonders. Temperance people all over the world, and especially in Europe, are watching with much interest the operation of the "monopoly" system which was estab- lished a few years ago in Norway. By this the entire sale of liquors in any commu- nity is given, to a company, under very rigid regulations, The manager of the company is required to not encourage any one to drink, and to do all he can to prevent intoxication. He must not seek any profit from the trade, and all the surplus over 5 per cent. goes into the pub- lic treasury. No liquor must be sold to minors, intoxicated persons, to those in the habit of getting intoxicated, or on credit. Price lists must he hung up conspicuously in each salesroom, and these must be adhered to. Guests are required to "pay, drink and quit," and this rule is rigid, everything being done to prevent their sitting down and "having a good time." So far as this portion of the system is concerned there is general satisfaction, and it has greatly reduced intemperance and the evils re- sulting therefrom. Even the prohibition- ists commend it as the next best thing to abeolute prohibition. The main dis- satisfaction is over the use of the money derived from the proceeds of the monopolies. These proceeds , go directly to the communes where the liquor is sold, and are generally used for schools, roads, alms -houses, etc. In some of the cities there has been a lively dispute as to whether a portion of the money to assist theatres was fulfilling the terms of the law, that the money should be expended for "public utility." In 1870, when the system went into operation, the consumption of liquor was over 9,000,000 of liters, or quarts; in 1888 it had fallen to less than 6,000,000, in spite of the increase of popu- lation and the importation of large bodies of laborers on public works.—St. Joseph (Mo.)

Import Fact Please Read Them We respectfully ask your careful attention to this statement, brief but important, and which we will divide Into three parts, viz: I, THE SITUATION; 2, THE NECES- SITY; 3 THE REMEDY. list. The Situation Health depends upon the state of the blood. The blood conveys every element which goes to snake up all the organs of the body, and it carries away all waste or dissolved and useless material. Aery bone, muscle, nerve and tissue lives upon what the blood feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of the heart, every drawing of the breath, every thought flashing through -the brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to be done rightly and well. 2d. The Necessity The human race as a whole is in great need of a good blood purifier. There are about ezioo disorders incident to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure or poisonous condition of the blood. Very few in- dividuals enjoy perfect health, and fewer still have perfectly pure blocid. Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity, has been inherited by generation after generation, and manifests itself today virulent and virtually unchanged from its ancient forms. If we are so fortu- nate as to eacape hereditary impurities in the blood, we may contract disease from germs in the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the water we drink.

He found that men work for ex- ceedingly small wages when pressed for the necessaries of life ; that under some circumstances they would give their labor for half what it was worth to the employer, because they were in a pesition where they must do something for wife or child. He concluded that he had no right to take advantage of the necessity of others, and that he should in the first place honestly find what the work was wcrth to him, and then give the man who did the work that amount. Other manufacturers regarded Mr. C. as substantially insane ; while most of his workmen looked upon him as an exceedingly good-natured nal, without any particular genius for business. Mr. C, however, cared little about the opinions of others, so long as he maintained his respect for himself. At the end of the first year he found that he had made a large profit, and thereupon he divided this profit with the people who had earned it. Some of his friends said to him that he ought to endow some public institution ; that there should be a college in his native town; but t Mr. C. was of such a peculiar turn of mind that he thought justice might to go before charity, and a little in front of egotism and a desire to immortalize one's self. He said that it seemed to him that of all persons in the world entitled to his pro. , fit were the men who ha 4 earned it, the men who had made it by their labor, by days of actual toil. He insisted that, as they had made it, it was redly theirs, and if it was theirs, they should spend it in their own way. Mr. C. was told that he would make the werlemen in other factories dissatisfied, that other manufac- turers would become his enemies, and that his course would, scandalize some of the greatest men who had done so much for the civilization of the world and for the spread of intelligence, Mr. C. became strictly une popular with men of talent, with those who had a genius for business. He, however, pureued'his way, and carried on his businees with the idea that the men who did the work were entitled to a fair share of the profits; that, after all, money was not se sacred as men, and that the law of supply and demand, as underetood, did not apply to flesh and blood.—North American Review.

She—Why, I love you a great deal more; in fact, I thought you were going to be awfully stupid at first. The steamships of the P. & 0. Company eost over £6,000,000.
