It has been diacovered that the grave of William Penn is in a sadly neglected con- dition. There is not even a moand above it, and only a tiimsy slab of atone stuck in the ground, at tbe bead or footâ€" no one can tell which. Tbe Friends do not approve of the erection of elaborate and cosily monuments, but there surely could be no objection to some more definite an 1 perma- cant marking of such an interesting a pot. NtvaLV all the sweeps in lUris are Italians The funeral of their chief, \l. Scazziga, haa just taken place at St. Augnstin Church with anmptuous solemnity. He came to Paris •iO years ago on foot, " aweeping " hii way to the metropolia. He died a millionaire by knookiug down aoot, and curing amoky chimneys. His charities ware proverbial. Two facta in hia career : Ha would never allow any of hia employees to work on Sunday, and any etove chimney or tire place that was aick, m a poor man's home he doctored it gratis. The Pope decorated him with tbe order of St. Gregory, which ranked him " Couaiu," with the Kmperor of .\ustria and the Queen of Spiin. * Tub London ilorninij Pat has published a story describing the finding at Ilolyrocd Palace a short time ago, of " the remains of a baby wrapped in cloth of gold and marked 'J.,'" and proceeded to suggeat that the baby waa none other than the real JameaVI. of Scotland and I. of England. The story, it may be pointed out, has got rather mixed on ita way aouth. The fact ia, no such discovery was ever made at Holyrood. About two years or more ago Major Gore Booth discovered the body of a child concealed in tbe stonework of the castle not far from the entrance to Queen Mary's room. There is no clue to the identity of the child, and none has since been forthcoming. Every visitor to the castle gets the story from the guides, and DO mystery is made about the matter. TiiK advantage which a i^ood cig*r has over a cigarette is that the smoke of the cigar is likely to kill microbes, while that of tho cigarette only retards their develop- ment. The London Teltgraph says editori- ally : "An eminent phytioian of Pisa has re- Ot'ntly been engaged, we observe, in some ex- periments undertaken with a view to test the action of tobacco smoke upon micro- organisms. Tbe microbes were subjected to the smoke for about half an hoar, during which time three and a half to foar and a half grammes of tobacoo were condumed. Among the various kinds of tobacco used were the large Virginia cigars, large and small cavour cigars and the best cigarette tobacco. The result showed that tobacco smoke has the effect of wholly preventing the development of some micro-organisms and of retarding that of others. The Virginia cigar seemed to have the most powerful result, while cigarette smoke had only a retarding intluence, and did not entirely check the growth of any form." If, therefore, you want to be healthyâ€" moat diaeases being the product of microbes, as Dr. Flint stated in the i^'orimâ€" why, smoke cigars and awearofT from cigarettes. Thosk who complaio of the amount of fiction taken out of public libraries should remember how frequently the most impor- tant i)ue8tiona have been forced home upon the public mind in the form of fictionâ€" thia arresting attention, and other inquiry and action coming afterward. No one will ever be able to compute just how much was contributed bv "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the fall of slavery. The late Mrs. Helen Jackson (H. H) worked hard in libraries for a whole winter over her oompilation " A Century of Dishonor," and when it waa fairly published, and a copy sent to every member of Congress, ahe felt that all she could do to right the wronga of the Indian had been clone. Yet it failed to produce the impression on the public mind which ahe had desired; and she then wrote. (jaarreU â€" .. .1.C33 L nliQuwu . i-il Jt'ftluusy .

Her utmost dream of ancceaa for the book was of a circulation of 10 000 or 15,000; but it baa now got up to 7o,000, and is still steadily selling. Schools, societies, villagesand even drawing- room cara have been named after ita hero- ine, and it has unquestionably done more than any other single iofiuence to reach the public mind. The recent religious novels have brought anew the problems of theology before all. And tbe very lateat illustration of this work of fiction, as a sort of moral breaking- up plough for thought and knowledge, is to be seen in the clubs which are said to be formint; to study the problems presented by ilr. Edw. Bellamv's novel, '•Looking Backward." The object of this ingenious story is to portray the condition of life in the year 200O, supposing that the existing tendencies of legislation are carried farther and farther, and govern- ment becomes more "paternal" in its character. BEVHaAL glass factories now cat the large cyliudera of window glass by encircling the cylinder with a fine wire, which is then heated to redness by an electric current, and a drop of water being allowed to fall upon the hot glaaa, a perfectly clean cut is obtained. Tbe old method was to draw out a fibre of white-hot, semi-molten glass from tbe furnace by means of tongs and to wrap it round the cyclinder.

Tbe yearly increment of the population is at least J per cent. With these additions, and with allowances for annual increments since the census of February, 1881, the population of India in March. 1887, would be : British territory, '.'07,754,378 ; the native States, 00.382,460 ; giviug a total population for all India of 208.137,044. Both in British territory and the native Slates the number of males ia much larger than that of females. In 1881 in British territor.v there were 181 '1 males to '.17.4 females : and in the native States 28 7 malea to 20 I females ; and in alt India there were in that year just 0,013,410 more malea than females. Mark Twain, who groaned at AJama' grave and let a tear trickle down at the thought of his " forefather" in the cold cold ground, ought to crack bis sides over the story that comes from San Domingo concerning the bones of Christopher Col- umbus. H. C. .\stwood is the United States Consul at San Domingo, and, according to l.a Sacion, of that West Indian capital, he recently shocked Senor Figuero, liominican Minister of tbe Interior, by the submission of a Yankee scheme of which this is the gist: " H. M. Linell, American, would guar- antee the Dominican Government at least S200.000 a year it said Government would intrust said Linell with the bones of Chris- topher Columbas for exhibition in the chief cities of the United States. Said bones were to be watched by foar Dominican prieata and guarded by eigbt Dominican Boldiera, and linally to be restored intact to San Domingo." Very naturally. Minister Figuero and the gentle Sai Domingo people were scandalized, and now they are aaid to be about to demand the Consul's recall.

TerrliSc Commotioa and Cambat on Chica- So'« Klneiit ATenue. The most fashionable part of Michigan avenue boulevard was wildly excited at 7 o'clock last night E. C. Lewis, an insur- ance broker, who lives in a handsome house at No. 1,450, had just sal down to dinner when a servant girl rushed in from the kitchen, yelled " Burglars I" and crawled under the table. Mr. Lewis plunged into the back vard. A low-siiiid man, dressed in dark cloihes, confronted him. Tbe iow-siz?d man pre- tended to be drank, and aaid he " wouliln't go home till morning." Mr. Lewii looked around and aaw a ladder which had been raised to an upper window. Mr. Lewis ran into the house and returned with a bi<' gun. As he entered the yard he heard a mocking laugh and saw the low-si/.id man loping np tbe alley. " I'll fool the other one,' muttered Mr. Lewis, and he took down the ladder and stored it in the woodshed. Then he went into the house to lock the door. The ser- vant girl thought the burglar had come to scalp her and she hurled herself into the street, screaming. George Hankins, the ex g*mbler. Uvea next door in a stately mansion. Mr. Han- kins has numerous servants. Etch of these servants turned in a call for the police. Every other neighbor who had a police call used it. Every other neighbor who didn't have a polioe call made a noise. Mr. Han- kins' coachman climbed over the fence, and George Jones, a drUijgisl's clerk, who had sneaked around to the back door to get the first lick at the burglar, smote the coach- man with a baseball bat and chased him down the alley. A boulevard policeman, thinking George and tbe cjachman were tbe burglars, started after them. Thev were met by a patrol wagon tull of bluc- coats, who fell upon George. And the burglar? Ha buttoned up bis coat, walked down the front stairs, met oc<i of Mr. Hankins' servant girls at tbe door, chucked her under the chin, and went home. â€" Chicago Cor. Stm York World.

The Gaiiloit speaks of a police regnlation whiwh forbids ladies to wear such garments, and of a Prefect of Police who ordered it to be put in force at the Opera Comique against Mme. Dieulafoy. Tbe moral which this attack points to is that thioga are tolerated at the Elysee whicb tbe police would not allow at the theatre. It has been decided by a committee of tbe Chamber of Depu- ties that there is nothing to prevent ladies who find men's attire couveuient from wearing it. Mme. Dieulafoy is a very exceptional person, and her life not only above the breath of scandal, bat in tbe highest degree honorable. Tbe Lcuvre owes to her its Persiau collection. At tbe opening of the Peraian Museum there she received Mme. Carnot in tbe suit which ahe found ao convenient when she was excavating the earth mounds at Sbushan. She emancipated herself from petticoats for the first time in 1870 to follow the army of tbe Loire, in which ber husband was ser- ving as a volunteer. At Shushan, when she went there to excavate, she arranged for herself an easy kind cf man's suit, and on ber return to Pans she found it impossible to revert to, as it seemed to her, tbe lesa convenient garmenta cf her aei. â€" London Daily Xtici.

In writing from Fayal, one 'I tbe A/.orea Islands, a correspondent of the bostonrrnn- -vripf aaya : On the country roads and near the wind-mills you will see circular tbrarh- inii tloora made of hardened pumice stone. When cows and oxen are driven over tba grain, crossing and recrossing it, the<ie are a distinct and fre<iueat feature in the land- scape, and reminds one of Bible scenes. What is tnat strange noise 1 hear from afar .' I say to my native companion. Why, its an ox cart coming aluii.^ the lane with a load of grain. I watch and wait, and within halt an hour it passes, with its two or three yoke of o.\en dragging this uncouth cart with its high encircling wicker front and sides. Its great solid wooden wheels creak and groan. One is impelled to be merciful and beseech the owner to oil the wheels. But no, I must not, and am told that this noise is a part of tbe e<iaipage, and no farmer is satis- fied unleaa his wheela have the proper amount of a^jueak. A law waa once made by the Portagueae Government that no creak- ing cart should be allowed to enter a city, but the people rebelled and the law was repealed. A victim of Weather.

A woman named Catherine Barragan was charged at Bow Street Police Court, Loudon, the other day with aiding in a burglary in an optician's shop in Holbcrn. Evidence waa given to the eSect that detec- tives went to prisoner's r.-sidence, and there found several opera glasaea and barometera. Whilst there a man came in, whom they charged with complicity, and on searching him found a barometer in hia poaket. He said he had jast bought it over the way. The otSoera went with him to a shop an the opposite aide of the street. The man went behind the counter, and suddenly disappeared thr',agh a trap-door. Witness immediately followed, and fell into a dark cellar, where he waa instantly seizsd by two ball terriers, who held him while the man made good bis esckpe.

A physician who is connected with an institution which contains many children says : •â-  There io nothing more irritating to a cough than to cough. Uor some time ' had been ao fully assured of this that I recently determined, if possible for one minute, at least, to lessen the number of coughs heard in a certain ward i:i the hos- pital of the institution. By tbe promise of rewards and punishments I succeeded in inducing them simply to hold their breath when temptt'd to cough, iwid in a little while I was myself surprised to sea how some of the children entirely recovered from their disease. "Constant coui;bing is precisely like scratching a wound on the outside ot the body : so long as it is done the wound will not heal. Let a person, when tempted to cough, draw a long breath and hold it until it warms and sootli<?s every air cell, and some benefit will soon be received from tha process. '1 be nitrogen, which is thus reliaed, acta as an anodyne to the irritated mucoas membrane, allaying the desire to cough and givinti the throat and lungs a chance to heal.
