The defa!cation of bank cashier Robin- son, of Angelica, N. Y., amounts, as far as known, to $41,000. Robinson was also executor of the Graves estate, which will lose $11,000. Rvbinson is in Canada, where he has been joined by his wife. The money was lost in wheat gambling in Chicago.

A young wife who had never learned the art of cookery, being desirous of im- pressing her husband with her knowledge and diligence, managed to leave the kitchen Goor ajar on the day after her return from their bridal tour, and just as her husband came in from the oflice, exclaimed loudly : ‘*Hurry up, Elizabeth! Haven't you washed the lettuce yet! Here, give it to me! Where's the soap!’

A singular piece of enterprise in the way of marrying has recently occurred in the family of William Matiinson, a sprightly citizen of Blount County, Ga., aged 60 years. His two sons married into the Brown family, and his daughter, Jane, was caught on the fly by Pleasant Gentry a few days after. This left the oid man ell alone, and so he concluded to get married too. He wooed and won Mary Blount, and a few days ago they were united as one. Thus ¢he whole family changed hands within the space of a few weeks,

If the London 7rwth may be credited, the Imperial Government has agreed to subsidize the line of steamers between British Columbia, Hong Kong and Aus- tralia, to the extent of £100,000 stg. a year. The steamers will requirc to be capable of carrying troops and guns, and they will be liable to go exclusively into the service of the Government in case of war. It is not probable that even the fall of the Gladstone Government would prevent this arrangement, assuming it really to have been made, from being car- ried into effect.

The standing army of the United States consists now of only 25,000 men. There are twenty countries which maintain larger armies than ours, thoush at a much smaller proportionate cost. Our army of 235,000 costs us $49,000,000 a year, while Turkey pays but $23,000,000 for an army six times as large. Spain pays $25,000,000 for the maintenance of her army of 152,000; Great Britain $90,000,000 for 181,000 men; Austro-Hungary only $50,000,000 for 284,- 000 men ; 500,000 men cost France $121,- 000,000, while Germany maintains her army of 445,000 men with an annual expenditure of $84,000,000,

The bone industry of Awerica is am im- portant one. The four feet of an ordinary ox will makea point of neat’s-foot oil, Not a bone of any animal is thrown away. Many cattle’s shin-bones are shipped to England for the making of knife handles, there they bring $40 perton. The thigh- bones are the most valuable, being worth $80 per ton for cutting into tooth brush handles. The fore-leg bones are worth $30 per ton and are made into collar buttons, parasol handles and jewelery, thongh sheep’s legs are the staple parasol handies. The water in which the bones are boiled ia reduced to gluewnd the dust which comes from sawing the bones is fed to cattle and poultry.

The Russian Government has decided to attempt tea cultivation upon a large scale, Under advices, it is the intention of the government to import Chinese coolies, and the position chosen for the first plantation is Soukhum Kale. That tea can bo suc- cessfully cultivated in the Caucasus has been often proved, but whether it will prove a success commercially is question- able. Itis argued that there is quite an extensive home market, the imports amounting to about 72,000,000 pounds an- nually, valued at $30,000,000, the Russians drinking tea of much supericr quality than is consumed in this country. 1t is question- able if there will be the kind of lebor available to compete with the Chinese and Hindostan laborer. At the same time it is impossible to develop the industry to any extent without the assistance of foreign capital.

The condition of affairs at Stry, Aus- tralia, among the people who lost their homes by the great fire, is most pitiable. Most of the victims are without food and means, and are rendered desperate by the thought of starvation. Farmers in the vicinity have been visited by mobs of men, who have first demanded food, and then, if refused, stole it. Owners of farms are now compelled to barricade their houses as the only way to guard them from being plun- dered of food by the mob, which, on ac- count of hunger,is becoming uncontrollable. Numerous struggles for food, resulting in bloodshed have taken place. Thus far 68 bodies charred so as to make recognition difficult, have been taken from the ruins. There have been 20 deaths in the fields since Sunday of invalids, young and old, who were taken out of the town to escape the flames.

The Russian Government has recently directed overtures to the British authorities with a view of ascertaining whether it would be agreeable to the latter to extend the Indian railways to Herat, for the pur- pose of forming a junction with the Russian railways at that point. As at present ad- vised by the Indiar Government, the Home Government is not inclined to consent to the extension, though ultimately it may be found advantageous to doso. The steady progress of the Russian railroad continues to attract the attention of the British mili- tary experts, both here and in India. The road is now completed ‘o within 140 kilo- metres of Sarakha, and at the present rate of extension will certainly be completed to Merv by the middle of May, and reach Amudaria by the end of July. The opinion among military authorities here is divided, but many believe that the Indian railways should be carried to Herat without delay, otherwise the time may come when the extension of Russian railroads beyond Herat must be resisted.
