The }est time on record of the fastest amateur mile ever run, was beaten on Aug. 16th, by W. G. George, of the Mosely Harriers, at the grounds of the London (iing.) athletic club. The mile was accom- plished in 4 minutes 23 1-5 seconds, thus beating by-over a second and and a quar- ter Walter Slade’s record of 4 minutes 24} seconds, which for over five years has stood at the head of fast times by amateur run- ners at one mile’s distance,
The London cerrespondent of the Edin- burgh Sceisman says that controversies be- tween England and France respeciing the French encroachments on the West Coast of Africa have been complicated by some high handed proceedings of the French commandant on Mellicoure River. These vexatious acts are probably intended to worry England into ceding Gambia to France, an object which every French Government for many years past has stead- fastly pursued.
‘The Czar Alexander travels expensively these times though the Russian exchequer cannot be very flush of funds. His Majesty recently went from his winter palace in Si. Petersburg to his pleasant summer villa on the shores of the Southern Crimea ; and forty thousand troops and nine thousand peasants were employed to guard the road during transit against the terrible Nihilists. Rather costly sort of travel that. The guarding process will, we suppose, be re- peated during the autocrat’s journey back. Life is hard for Emperors in Russia.
It is a curious fact, writes a missionary from China; that tobacco, sweet potatoes, and Indian corn have all been introduced from America, and are now thoroughly domesticated here. As to the first, so cordially has it been welcomed that nine out of ten adult Chinese males smoke it. They do not chew. Within the last five years the artichoke, which in my boyhood was found with horse-radish in every farm- er’s garden in central New Yerk, is being

A Sap Casre.—The Halifax Chronicle re- lates a sad story. Sume time ago a young lady of that city was married to Mr. Crane, a young Nova Scotian residing m Chicago. Several months cago to locate in British Columbia, and his wife came to Halifax to visit her relatives. Mr. Crane settled in the city of Victoria, B. C., anda short time ago sent for his wife who, with her infant, left for her new
home. She would probably reach San Francisco yesterday. On Tuesday, Mr. Crane's friends received a telegram an- nouncing his death. Mrs. Orane’s is a daughter of Mr. James Reeves, of Dart- mouth.
Tre Jcice or rae Tomaro PLANT AS AN Insecticmpe. A writer in the ‘‘Deutsche Reitung” says that last year he had an opportunity of trying a remedy for destrey- ing green fly and ether insects which in- fest plants. The stems and leaves of the tomato are well boiled in water, and when the liquor is cold it is syringed over plants attacked by inseets, It at once destroys black or green fly, caterpillars, etc.; and it leaves behind a peculiar odor which pre- venis insects from coming again fer a long time. The writer says that he found this remedy mere effectual than fumigating, washing, etc. Through neglect a house of camellias had become almost hopelessly in- fested with black fice, but two syringings with tomato plant decoction thorougly cleansed them.
Singing is one of the healthiest exercises in which men women and children can en- gage. Tne Medical Wocheneerift, of St. Petersburg, has an article based upon ex- haustive researches made by Prof. Monas- sien during the autumn of 1878, when he examined two hundred and twenty-two singers, ranging between the ages of nine and fifty-three. He laid chief weight upon the growth and absolute ciremmference of the chest, upon the comparative relation of the latter to the tallness of the subject, and upon the pneumatometric and spirometic condition of the singer. It appears to be an ascertained fact from Dr. Monassien’s ‘experiment that the relative and even ab- solute circumference of the chest is greater among singers than among those whe do not sing, and that it increases with the growth and age of the singer. The profes- sor even says that singing may be placed physically as to the anithesis of drinking liquor. The latter hinders while the former promotes health,
Excreement Over Two Witts,—A des- patch to the Halifax Citizen from North Sydney, says: Some little excitement has been raised lately over the will of the late William Gammell. On Thursday his body was to have been removed from the grave for the purpose of a medical examination of his stomach, but ewing to the incomplete- ness of the arrangements the grave is yet undisturbed. It may not be very generally known that there are two wills on file, bear- ing the name of William Gammell. In one recorded a short time after his death, he bequeathed everything he owned to his wife, amounting, it is said, to $250,000. After he had been in his grave more than a year another will comes to light, by which the order of things is reversed, and Mrs. Gammell is left nothing. A copy of this latter will was published a few weeks ago, and was immediately after placed on record in the Judge ef Prebates office. The whole affair has been placed in the hauds of emin- ent counsel, and will come up before the
| courts ere long. It will, no doubt involving
as it does so much money, be the most in- teresting will case ever brought before the courts of this country.
The Electric Light is said to be coming into use extensively among wholesale stores and other large institutions in New York, but so quietly that few are aware of it. Several large warehouses onjBroadway find it convenient and practicable to do their shipping at night,when foot and light traftic has almost ceased, thus avoiding the incon- venience and delay which attend such work in the day time, when the streets beeome blocked with cases and drays and carts,pro- ducing confusion and discomfort as well as annoyance to the public and all concerned. lt is said that the electric lamps do not give nearly so much light as is commonly supposed, or rather, as the registered candle power of the lamps would imply. An ex- periment has shown that so calied one thousand candle power lamps only give as wich light as two hundred aftd fifty stand- ard candles, and that the strongest of all do not exceed four hundred candle power. A great objection to the light is its non- diffusibility and its radiation in area, Thorough Ulomination is impossible, areas beneath the lamp being dark. Prof. Dewar, of the Reval Society of Great Britain, finds, by investigation, that electric light, as well as gas light, generates gases. Nitrous gas is generated by many of the lamps in use at the rate of one gramme or twelve to fifteen grains per hour. The amount varies with the length of the arc. There is also some
eneration of hydrocyanic acid. _ ———> ©: Gp +: o-——-——-—--

‘To sum it up, six long years of bed-rid- den sickness and suffering, costing $200 per year, total $1,200—all which was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken by my wife, who has done her own house- work for a year since, without the loss of a day, andI want everybody to know it for their benefit.”
