THE CLOWN HAS HAD HIS DAY. The Double Circus-Ring and the Wealth of Attractions Killed Him. [New York Mail and Express] "It is a sad fact," mournfully said a veteran circus manager, "but it is beyond dispute that the days of the joke cracking and song singing clown are over. He expired when the double circus ring came into vogue. In his place the horse play or pantomime Grimaldi rose." "How did the double ring kill the witty (?) clown?" asked a reporter. "The vast audience could not hear him. The miles of canvas, the amphitheatre, filled with 10,000 people, made the great lung power necessary to be heard an utter impossibility. The large rainstorm traveling circuses have nothing but pantomime clowns. In this small shows, where actors are few and something must be done to fill in the time for the acrobats or what ever they may be to rest before they appear in some other daring feats under other dazzling manes, the song singing punning clown is used. But he is fast going out for other persons. The newspapers and almanacs contain nearly all the jokes and punns, and we repeat them in the ring over and over again becomes monotonous and tires even those who do not read. Then to supplant this horse play was invented." "What do you mean by horse play?" "Broad humor. For instance, the clown sticks a needle in a chair and the ring master innocently sits down on it. He gets up in a hurry. This kind of fun tickles the audibles. They see it and undertand the point made, but it is not so with a pull or joke. I was a clown before I became prophetor and I knew the inside tricks of the professor. When I traveled in the small towns of 8,000 and 10,000 inhabitants I always managed to pump some carrion man in the town before the performance, so as to get off a local gang. This always pleased the audience, and consequently caused a little riff if the gas was at the expense of some fellow in the audience." PAINLESS DEATH. METHODS OF EXTINGUISHING THE LIFE OF CONDEMNED CRIMINALS. An Inquiry Which Ripened Civilization Suggests—Dr. Richardson's Experiments with Dogs—The Essence of the Sentence of Death. [San Francisco Chronicle] For many years humane men have devoted attention to the subject of the present methods of extinguishing the life of condemned criminals. No one can tell how much pain is endured by a man who is long, or gallitined, or gargoted. But the prevailing impression is that the pain is severe in all these cases and that it takes many minutes, which seem an age to the sufferer. It is not the design of the law that criminals shall be tortured, as well as deprived of life; hence various processes have been suggested by which life could be destroyed without the indictment of bodily suffering. Ripening civilization has now suggested the inquiry whether, in all these cases, the desired object could not be attained by destroying life with painless anesthesia. An examination of the problem was undertaken in 1871 by the Medical society of London, and a "home" for the destruction of surplus dogs and wounded animals was established at Mortake by Dr. R.W. Richardson, F.S.R., which appears to be in successful operation today. Four different anesthetics have been used: carbonic oxide, chloroform, bisulfide of carbon and oxygene. All produce rare item, if administered for that purpose, and in every case the death which causes is believed to be painless. Chloroform is certain to kill if the build is diffused into a state of vapor and absorbed into the blood. Even a percent of the vapor in common air is not brushed without danger. Is one out of every 25,000 cases where chloroform is administered... "Broad humor. For instance, the clown sticks a needle in a chair and the ring master innocently sits down on it. He gets up in a hurry. This kind of fun tickles the audience. They see it and undertand the point made but it is not so with a pull of boke. I was a clown before I became prophet and I knew all the inside tricks of the prefish. When I traveled in the small towns of 5,000 and 10,000 inhabitants I always managed to pump some carrion men in the town before the performance, so as to get off a local gang. This always pleased the audience, and occasionally caused a little riffle if the gag was at the expense of some fellow in the audience. Then I would sing a song and hear all the little boys in the streets singing it afterward. There was some glory in that. But now the clown must be a first class tumbler and a good pantomime to succeed. He makes his individuality with some tedious other others who come out casually in caps and boots. The lines are dr. and the old order growth way to the n. Grimmed mask has more fun if it learns these simple ennifer jokes." The Yankee in Cuba. Genuine Yankees, such as are portrayed on the stage, are growing very scarce. Most persons have never seen one, and believe that quaintism that figures drawing nasal tones and odd conceals marked to them are the progeny of the Crimes of novelists and playwrights. Nevertheless they do exist and the writer not one in Santiago de Cuba the other day. The city is a very strange one. The houses and stores are so built that the walls can be almost entirely thrown open, while the inmates have courts that are unroofed and unstructured to the sky. The money of the country is familiar to an American. The Yankee had just landed when he spoke as follows: "Some know I can't tell when I'm indoors and when I'm about. I've got a room or something in a hotel here, and I've been into it, quandering around, but I could not tell when I was in the parlor or when I was in the kitchen or too ward, so I stand in here in the porch not to make any mistake. I started hawning the street a miniposse, but I got afraid I might make a mistake and get arrested for being found in some body's back porch. I got a lot of the money of the place, but I can't make heads nor tails of it. I took some of it back what I got it and passed over the same counter so rocked its grinne. I could write the history of the place already. All I need is the dates. It was evidently built year after the locot it's been shook down by an earthquake, burned up by a volcano, resettled and let just as two found. The whole country is best what it is been alone. Wherever the people have touched it they've made a mess of it." At the Dog Modiste's Chance of Life. An American lady who visited the store of a dog modiste in Harriet's charities that she never before had seen each amusing signage. The place was not so much a store as an establishment with shops and room richly furnished with clothes tripped in and out all day long most of the visitors having with their paws and terrors. The pet dogs were scattered through the rooms each awaiting its turn. Mads small mats and rags were around the waxed doors, and every bit of carpeting of the kind was occupied by some pretty little creature. These dogs have various dresses. The role used in the morning is a garment of darts blue cloth. It is An American lady who visited the store of a dog molestie in Harris declares that she never before had seen such amusing signs. The place was not so much a store as an establishment with baskets and room richly furnished. Ladies tripped in and out all day long most of the visitors having with them pigs and ferrets. The pet dogs were scattered throughout the rooms each awaiting its turn. Very small mats and rugs were around the waxed floors, and every bit of carpeting of the kind was occupied by some pretty little creatures. These dogs have various dresses. The role used in the morning is a garment of stars blue cloth. It is called a paletot, and is freed with red linen. From a leather collar little bells jingle as its wearer walks along. Some times a bunch of violets is fastened on the left shoulder of the dog. On very cold days the pet is caked in sealskin of the same pattern, the collar being in fur mounted in silver. Something About Indigestion. [Chicago Herald] In his recent Leitsomian lectures on indigestion Dr. Leander Brunton declares acid fruits to be indigestible and apt to cause intestinal irritation. He believes sour wines to be peculiarly liable to cause indigestion, and when taken regularly, to cause gastric catarrh. The tannin in tea interferes very considerably with the digestion of fresh meat, though such is not the case with dried meat, such as ham or tongue. Tea at breakfast is not apt to produce gastric disorders, but afternoon teas are pronounced bad. Infusions of tea should be "light drawn" and drained from the leaves before serving as by this means only a small portion of the tannin becomes dissolved in it. Earthquake Signaling. [Scientine Exchange] The Seismological society of Japan has suggested the use of the surrounding telegraph stations as a means of warning the inhabitants of Tokio or Yokohama of the approach of an earthquake. A shock at one of these stations could be made to complete an electric circuit and fire a gun in either of the two cities, thus giving notice to the citizens from two to six minutes before the arrival of the earthquake, and enabling them to extinguish their fires and remove many valuables. Floating Saw Mills. [Exchange] Floating saw mills are common on the lower Mississippi. They pick up the drifting logs, turn them into lumber, and sell the product to the planters along the shore. A prominent timber merchant has had his coat-of-arms painted on the panels of his carriage, with the Latin motto "Vidi," which by interpretation is "I saw." Value of Horseback Riding. [The Argonaut.] M. de Lesseps' boys are capital riders, and attract much attention in the Bois de Boulogne, where they appear almost daily in the company of their venerable father, whose condition recalls Dr. Holmes old saying that on horseback a man's system becomes clarified, because his liver goes up and down like the handle of a churn.

Practical, Day-Working Tollers Who Stand High in Scientific Specialties. [Scientific American] A recent notice of a mechanic in Massachusetts who is an expert in the department of natural history of which the butterfly is the chief representative suggests other and similar instances. It may be that the exactness required in mechanical work develops a taste for close study, or it may be that natural history and pure science become one pleasant tool to the monotony of mechanical work; but it is the fact that some practical day working mechanics stand high in some scientific specialties. There is a machinest—a fine tool maker—who is well known, and widely known, as an amateur astronomer. He has contributed importantly to the science and is not surpassed in nielty and precision in designing astronomical mechanism. Another is an expert stool engraver by choice and as a postline, and yet incredulity as it may appear, he is a smith or forger, handling steel and iron in bars and the heavy hammer of the blacksmith all day, and doing delicate steel engraving at night or on "of hours." He has nearly finished designing and engraving a series of plates representing the establishment of the "French Cook Lobion," the proofs of which are really nine. One left the machine shop three years ago, and set up as an engraver on jewelry, plate and similar articles. Its original designs and rarely make a second drawing. He is a wonderful producer of elegant and legible monograms. A set of six silver buttons for a vest, all unformed in general design and no two alike in particular, is very artistic, and yet he designed and engraved the six white customer waited perhaps an hour. These two instances show that the bond of the job was naturally artistic rather than mechanical. There is a young man, 50 years old, a solder who is better authority on the dora of New England than some of the authorities accepted text books. The "WAYFARERS' LODGE." FOOD AND LODGING FOR TRAMPS WHO WILL WORK. A Plan to Relieve the Police Stations and to Make Begging Unprofitable and Unnecessary - The Mode of Operation. [Cor. Chicago Times.] The Boston-"Wayfarers' lodge" was established in 1878. Its purpose was to relieve the police stations of the crowd of tramps which mightly thronged them, and at the same time to compel those tramps to make some return for food and shelter. It has grown into a provision for the entire class we are considering. Any man or well grown boy can obtain good food and lodging and return an equivalent in honest labor. It ought to do away with all street begging by this class. If these who listen to the plea of nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep" would all co-operate to support the "Wayfarers' lodge" and turn their charity in the direction of securing its use by this class, they would soon make begging unnecessary and unprofitable, and for the tramps proper it furnishes a double test. The necessity of applying to the police stations for cards of admission keeps away known criminals and vagrants, while the obligation to give full value in work for what is reived weeds out the lazy. Those who will not work either leave the city or are sent to the work house-for six months-as vagrants. Its mode of operation is described as follows: "A homeless man or large boy applying to the police or to individuals for food or lodging is sent to the nearest station, where he received a ticket of admission to the lodge. The object of this is to keep the tramps under some police surveillance, and to weed out known criminals. This ticket the homeless one presents to the lodge between the hours of 7 and 10 p.m." The "Curse of Scotland." [Chicago News.] A popular theory is that the nine diamonds is called "the curse of Scotland" because the duke of Cumberland wrote an order on it before Cullowhee. This is disproved by the fact that the duke was known by that name some time fore—and en passant, it may be remarked that exactly the same story is told of duke Monmouth before the battle Bothwell Brig. Other explanation are: Firt, the act of the detested earl of Sutherland who promoted the union, motely resemble the nine diamonds second, "curse" is a corruption of "cross," and the nine pips quenched were in the form of a St. Andrew's crown third every ninth king of Scotland been "a tyrant and a curse to that country," fourth, a theft in Queen Mary reign attempted to steal the crown jewels—he got away with the nine diamonds and all Scotland was taxed for the fifth King James IV., before Flodges spent time searching for a missing saver; the nine of diamonds—which time we have been better spent in preparing for fight on the morrow sixth; Mary Lorraine others say James duke of York introduced the game of "conette"; Scotland, the nine of diamonds is wearing card, and many of the Scottish nobility lost sums they could ill afford; the game seventh, the Scots held in most detention the pope. At the glove of Pope Joan, the nine of diamonds pope; therefore the nine of diamond—the "curse of Scotland." With all these theories, one will do well not to hold too obstructive in the story of "butcher's dispatch." as Cumberland message "Spare none," alleged to have been written on the nine of diamonds termed. Experience in a Cyclone. [Masson Telegraph and Messenger.] One left the new hime shop three years ago and set up as an engraver on jewery, plate and similar articles.

He is so successful that he is in the confidence of the professionals, who are not ashamed to profit by his suggestions.

It is rare indeed that in case of an ordinary accident in the shop there is necessity for outside aid. When the writer was a youngster he lodged a piece of the sharp hammer hardened head of a cold chisel in one eye. The "shop surgeon" applied a powerful magnet without await. Then he cut out the curvature particles with a keen penknife made making an incision just as he might in a finger.

The depopulation of France has been receiving much attention from the Paris savants. M. Lunier proposes that the government take legal steps to facilitate marriages, to search out the paternity of infants, to accord prizes or immunity from taxation to parents having more than two children, to guarentee secrecy to any mother who may wish to leave her child at a foundling hospital, and to extend the protection of the state to all children "morally abandoned." Since the year 1800 the French birth rate has fallen from 32.9 to 25.5 per 1,000 inhabitants. The "Sorrowful Tree." Chicago Herald Near Bombay, on the island of Goa there is a singular vegetable termed the "sorrowful tree," because it only flourishes in the night. At sunset no flowers are to be seen, and yet an hour after it is full of them. They yield a sweet smell, but the sun no sooner begins to shine upon them than some of them fall off, and thus it continues flowering in the night during the whole year. Vaccination in Prussia. Vaccination is carried out so strictly in the Prussian army that not a soldier has died of small-pox since 1875. If the same system could be applied to the whole population of Europe it is believed that the disease would disappear in five years. Ok, Oz, Ai and Po are the four post-offices in the United States whose names contain only two letters. Young Diplomats at Washington. The Argonaut. In Europe it is considered almost a disgrace to be ordered on service at the capital of the United States. These diplomatic creatures are regarded by the majority of people in Washington as so many social vermian. If it were not for the numerous public receptions during the season, where refreshments are served, these impurecies foreigners would starve. They are protected, however, by their positions from being prosecuted for debt, and so for that reason manne; to get hold of unsuspecting tradespeople, from time to time, and keep up the ghost of an appearance. Occasionally they find a young American lady with money who is fool enough to marry one of them. No one need waste any sympathy upon her, however. Any woman who marries one of the attaches of the foreign legations there does it with her eyes open. Sugar in Grapes. Scotland Journal. Dr. T. L. Hipson finds that in grapes grown out of doors the production of sugar first occurs in the periphery and gradually extends inward as the autumn advances, while the organic acids disappear. These acids remain to the last in the pulp around the seeds, where they act as antiseptics until the moment arrives for the seed to fall and germinate. At this moment only is the greater portion of organic acid replaced around the seed by sugar. Fixed Stars. St. Louis Republican. Of the 6,000 fixed stars visible to the naked eye, and the 20,000,000 within the range of the telescope, only twenty are classed as stars of the first magnitude, and of these fourteen are visible in this latitude. The World's Sugar. San Francisco Chronicle. The world's production of sugar in 1884 is estimated at 4,585,000 tons of which 1,500,000 tons were beet sugar and only 2,085,000 cane sugar. Oatmeal and Dyspepsia. Chicago Times. The fact that Carlyle did not escape dyspepsia by oatmeal has attracted general attention to that article of food. A French physician has pointed out that the Scotch, who eat more oatmeal than any other people, are pre-eminently a dyspeptic people so long as they remain at home and adhere to their oatmeal diet, and he rightly argues from this fact that oatmeal is exceptionally difficult to digest.
