318 The Mining and Scientific Press, In Dest.—lt is 2 common practice in this country fur men and women to thrast their hands down into the Meéee, and draw from their present use upon their constitutional resources. ‘They live, as far as physical vigor is Concerned, constantly in debt. Their whole life is mortgaged fur present enjoyment, and death furecloses and sells them out, and they pass away untimely to that “bourne from which no traveler returns.” A sattLe girl washing linen in a brook in Baron Rothschild’s park, at Schilleredurf, was seized and dangerously lacerated by « hnge pike. The child was rescued by a gardener. who was obliged to cut off the fish’s head. Freneny.—An entirely sibterranean theater is heing constructed in Paris, at a cost of tliree millions of francs. It is expected that its cool' ness will be a grent’ attraction in summer. Very nich of what is customary in Parisian theaters had better be as far under the yround as is possible. _ Tne totalunnual prodnets of coffee in the world is set down, in a receni, circular, at an average af ubout six hundred and seventy-two million pounds. or about three hundred thousand tons. Half of this is produced in Brazil. Turery-Sreventi.—On and alter-the Fourth of July next there will be thirty-seven stars on the American flag—Colorado State will then be added.
