We are fiequently asked by busy men what periodical will best give them the news of the day, boiled down so that, with the limited time at their com mand, they can keep abreast of the thought and progress of the day. There is but one such The Review of Reviews. This magazine fills the bill exactly. Its illustrations alone, especially its portraits of promi nent persons, are worth many times its subscription price of $2.50 per year.

THE EARTH. Although iiK'in tins Uvea upon . the earth for thousands of years he has made manv discoveries, he has not yet mastered its sur face, much less sol vtd all of the oroblcms it presents. In some respects he knows more about . a . ft the planets and stars that arc millions of miles away than he docs about the globe on which I i he lives and moves and has his being. But if his knowledge of ' the earth s surface is limited, it is nevertheless much greater than his knowledge of its interior. It was the belief of scientists years ago and is still the belief of the majority of tolerably well-read people that this earth of ours is 1 a molten mass covered by a thih ! crust of chilled and hardened i material. One of the suggested ! reasons lor this belief is the ob ! . ..... servation tnat me temperature rocks increases as one descends to the earth, at the rate of one grcc for about sixty-four feet, has been assumed from this bservation that a temperature w I nek would melt the rocks ; cept observations as conclusive. -v Utl the contrarv, thev show that far as these observations go the questiou is still left open and that there are certain other facts which appear more conclusively to show that the earth is solid or nearly Solid. The increase of temperature in the interior of the earth is accompanied bv in- crease of pressure, which, it ajses thc mctnrt pC IS tirtinf i so that notwithstanding the ob servations in mines the melting eject i may be rendered fluid of eruption j by a sudden withdrawal of pres j sure or by the action of water. ; The proofs of the theory that the earth is solid are so much de pendent upon mathematics that thevcan onlv be described in jren- rf rr-inlv . tion as would a globe of steel, ana ncucc mat it is not a moiien mass with a thin crust but a sol id or nearly solid body. Prof. Xcwcomb has added another kind of proof. Some small, va rvinir chancres of latitude have . 0 - - , been detected and shown to be ; periodic, and these periods are shown to correspond with what would theoretically occur if the earth were sol?d, while they do not correspond with what would occur from similar deflections of the axis of a molten mass thinly encrusted. While these argu ments may not be considered conclusive, they are entitled to more respect than those which at one time were accepted as showing that the earth is a mere crust cooled upon the sur face of a molten mass. The new view of the earth is much more satisfactory than that of Des cartes. "Firm as a rock" will hare added strength to its mean ing it is established that the rocks arc not liable to fall through the supporting crust into a cauldron, where they may be melted and disappear.

Phrase of the Population Question but cicidum Considered. We are accustou.ed Lke in to consideration, tLo population of a country or town iu thinking or speakintr of it, but vc con sider this matter from a some what restricted that is, a hu man point of view. If we look cd at it from an equine point of view, anil considered countries and cities as to their horse pop ulation, these regions and places would be changed about a great deal in rank and importance. Populous countries would all at once become thinly inhabited, and certain great cities would disappear from the face of the earth. Thus it vvould be, also, if we looked at the matter from the mule'a or the pig's or the sheep's point of view. Certain cities of Eastern Asia, for instance,have no horses at all. The Tuamotu archipelago, which 'extends in the Pacific Ocean a distance of fifteen hun dred miles, is put down iu the official publication of thc United States Department of Agriculture on thc farm animals of the world as possessing only two horses. They must be lonesome animals indeed, unless they are so for tunaie as to have the same own er. Thc most populoushorse coun try in the world is Russia. It has twenty millions of horses. i he t inted States comes next, with a horse population of more than sixteen millions. In proportion to the number of inhabitants, the United States is far richer in horses than Rus sia. But in that proportion the Uuited States is in turn far sur passed bv the Argentine Repub lic, where according to the latest accessible finurcs. there are a few more horses than icople. The countries of Western and Southern Europe are thinly pop ulated with horses, compared with the American continent and Russia. Italy, with a hu man population of more than thirty millions, has only seven hundred and twenty thousand horses. But it has almost twice as many mules and donkeys as horses. Spain has only a few more than three hundred thousand horses, or about one iiorse to every sixty people. Most of the "cavaliers" ot Spain ride on donkeys. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland has only about two million horses. The United States is the most populous mule country in the world. It is also, by many mil lions, the most populous pig country, possessing over forty six millious of swine. There is here also a larger proportion of pigs to the human population than in any ether country larger even than in Ireland, a country whicb is popularly but mistakenly supposed to be thc Utopia of the pig. The country of the sheep, par excellence, is Australia- On that continent there are a few more than three million people, but there are sixtv-two million sheep that is to say, twenty sheep to every man, woman and child. In the United States we have only about forty-seven million sheep, which, though a larger sheep population than that of any other country except Aus tralia and the Argentine Repub lic, is not proportionately so great a number as several other countries possess. British India has more cattle than any other country, but the United States has almost as many upwards of fifty-two millions. However, the Argtn tine Republic again leads in the number of cattle in 'proportion to human beings. If the cattle in Argentina were divided equal ly among all the people, every man, woman and child would have five cattle to take care of, and there would be enough left to give one additional "critter" each to almost a million of the people. Considered from the point of view of farm animals, the Argen tine Republic isprobably the roost important country in the world. Ex. Two men were placed in jail at Hillsboro Friday for burning goods to get the insurance. BAPTIST INCREASE IN 189a. 1 he new Year Uook has just been issued by the Publication Society, Dr. Lansing Burrows, editor, and, as usual, it is full of valuable and interesting infor mation. The number of regular Baptist members in the United States is civen at 3.383.1G0. Of these 1GG,322 were baptized last year an averatre of 454? a dav for the entire year, tjeorgia re ports the highest number of baptisms, 20,12G; Texas comes next with 17.22G; then Alabama with 13,001; then Virginia with 12,210; then South Carolina with 10,G63; then North Caro lina with 9.9S9; then Kentucky with 8,410; then Missouri with 7,818 ; then Tennessee with 6, G93;then New York with G, 498; then Pennsylvania with 5, 442; then Arkansas with 5,283 ; then Illinois with 4,926; then Mississippi with 4,8G9. Thus it goes till we reach Wyoming, which reports thirty-four. Thus the baptisms in the South far outnumber thosejin the Noith, the South being the Baptist stronghold of the world. More than half the Baptists of theearth live within the bounds of the Southern Baptist Convention. And it is significant that the South is not where lax views of doctrine or polity prevail among uapusts. it ever the baptists or thc South shall become as "liberal" as ore Baptists in ling- land and in some parts of the North, there will be a great de cline in the number of baptisms reported. It is not accidental that Baptist principles, prevail most widely where they arc most firmly held and most bold ly maintained. Last year 42,464 perspns were excluded from the fellowship of! Baptist churches in th United States. This does not indicate a very lax state of discipline. It is a striking fact that one-fourth as many were excluded as were baptized. The amount of money con tributed by the denomination in 1S92, in this country was $13, 907,418.59. This docs not in clude the amounts given by Messrs. Rockafeller and Colgate to Chicago and Colgate uni versities. New York leads off with $1,713,701.76. Next comes Massachusetts with $1,067, 876. G4; then follow in order Pennsvivania with $962,125.76; Illinois with $660,117.2S ; New Jersey with $550,716.26; Mis souri" with $404,477.6S; Ohio with $461,235.60; Virginia with $445,206.71 ; Texas with $379. S9S.41; Michigan with $372. 123 57; Kentucky with $350, 633. 3; North Carolina with $30S,3S2.15; low.: with $29S. 299.91; Georgia with $257, 967.25; Connecticut with $246, 940.46; South Carolina with $230,697.64. So it roes till we reach Idaho with $2,150.00. The general average per capita is over $4.00 for the vhole coun try. This is very good; but the! generous gifts of the few greatly helped the average. Many, alas! so many, give little or nothing. In point of number of Baptists Georgia continues to lead with 344,158. Virginia follows with 311, 409; then come North Car olina with 248,041; Alabama with 232,566; Kentucky with 230,589; Texas with 220,015; South Carolina with 218,496; Mississippi with 189,100; Ten nessee with 149,263; Missouri with 139.45S; New York with 133.G48, and so on to Nevada with sixty-three. Let no one fail to read and study these figures under the idea that they are dry. Baptist figures are never dry. We have in the United States 153 institutions for higher edu cation, with 1,657 instructors, 26,552 pupils, of whom 2,451 are studying for the ministry. The property and endowments of these institutions reach the enormous figure of $31,741,222 Of these seven are theological seminaries, thirty-five are uni versities and colleges, tbirty-Mx are for young ladies, fifty-one for co-education of the sexes and twenty-four for negroes and In dians. T he Baptists have more money invested in higher educa tion than any other denomina tion in the United States. There are twenty-five Baptist charitable institutions reported, with property and aggregating j $1,444,421. Thc marked ten dency to multiply such institu tions is n;ost gratifying. Twelve orphan asylums are in list, where as it has not been long since our Louisville Baptist Orphans' Home stood alone. Thc names arc given of forty four ministers who came to 'us last year from other denomina tions, along with a list of our foreign missionaries with ad dresses. The Baptist papers of thc country, including only those designed for general circulation, number 123, and several more have been started since Dr. Bur rows sent in his manuscript. The Year Book is a mine of use ful information which every in telligent r-aptist should have The circulation has greatly in creased since Dr. Burrows took hold of it; but the wonder is that the circulation is not tenfold greater. The price is 25 cents, net, a marvel of cheapness. Get it ana siuayit. western Kecora er. HOW TO STOP STEALING. A recent examination of the "Irving Savings Institute," of New York showed overdrafts and embezzlements by the pres ident, secretary and paying teller to the amount of 70,000. The two former have paid back their overdrafts, and re signed; the latter has simplyad mitted his stealing and running away. He said, "I have not been able to pay mv bills on ray salary of $1,800 per year, and for about seven years I have been taking money for actual ex penses. I have a sick wife and mother. I had money on everv side; all I had to do was to reach out my hand and take it, and then make a false entry." That is thc way they all do. A man with heavv bills to pay. out of a moderate salary, han dles thousands of dollars of cash every day just as if it were his own. A bill conies in; he has nothing is his pocket; there is money on everv side, he is trust ed with it, he takes it pays the troublesome creditor, makes a false entry and the thine: is safe. In this case thestealing has gone on for ten years, and regular ex aminations from time to time had failed to show anything wrong. The president and sec retary did not insist on a scruti ny of the books which would have detected their own misdo ings, and as neither cf them knew of the misconduct ol the otter, each one, without collu sion, was using his official power to allow things to go on as they were. This was one of the swell banks of New York, with se curities well worth seven mil lions, and a surplus of almost seven hundred thousand. Thc officers whom the stockholders paid to keep things straight, let them go crooked, and it vis fair to reckon that many other banks of lower grade and less capital are in th same condition. What safety can there be, then, to stockholders and depositors? None at all. under thc present system, but a very simple re.ne dy can be applied, not so far suggested, as we have seen. Let the depositors, whese interest iii thee banks is commonly many fold larger than tiiat of the stockholders, have the right, under suitable legislation, to select one or more of their num ber, who shall not be stockhold ers nor borrowers of thc bank, to make examinations of the books and papers three or four times a year, without notice, and thc evil will cease. The . de positors are always the first to lose, and they ought to have such a chance to protect them selves. Hickory Press. Boarding Lunatics Around. In several foreign countries Belg'um especially the insane are bearded out with private families, who, for a small con sideration, take charge of them, and for the unfortunate pen sioners receive more care and at tention than thev would in a lunatic asvlum. At the town of Gheei, in Belgium, sometimes called the "City of Simple," there are one or more lunatics in every house, and the system has been found to answer admirably. Galignani Messenger. Somewhat of a 'Mixtry." The Rev. Dr. Marshall's prayer at the Jefferson Davis ceremonies, in Raleigh, was published by many papers in this State. The Goldsboro Argus, by a blunder of the foreman, gives the follow ing as a part of this prayer : "O Lord, our heavenly Father, the high and mighty Ruler of the Universe, who doth from Thy throne behold all dwellers upon earth, thou hast been our refuge from one genet ation to another. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and world were made, Thou art God from everlasting and "The price of prime Irish po tatoes is looking up' on the Northern markets. They were quoted yesterday .'it $4.10 per barrel. world without end." This is almost ns badly mixed as the old minister's description of Noah's wife, whom he con founded with the ark. In read ing, he skipped a page, and read she was three hundred cubit3 long, fifty cubits wide, thirty cubits deep, and pitched inside and out." Or that of thc sermon of the darkey who said: "An' while Paul was preachin de maiden fell out uv dc winder; and de fragments dey gathered up was twelve baskctfuls, an whose wife shall she beinde judgment?" Charlotte Observer. Senator Leland Stanford. A Western paper gives the fol lowing brief history of Senator Leland Stanford, of California, who died of heart disease on the 20th of June. Leland Stanford was born in Watervliet, Albanj' countv, N. Y.. March 9, 1824. His ances tors settled in the valley of the Mohawk. New York, about 1720. He was brought up on a farm, and when 20 vears old began the studv of law. lie was admitted to the bar in 1849, and the same vear began to practice at Port Washington, Wis. In 1852, having lost his law library and other property by fire, he removed to California and be gan mining for gold at Michigan Bluff, Placer count', subsequent ly becoming associated with his three brothers, who had pre ceded him to the Pacific coast. In 1S56 he removed to San Fran cisco and eiigaged in mercantile pursuits on a large scale, laying the foundation ol a fortune that has recently been estimated at more than $50,000,000. In 1860 Mr. Stanford made his entrance into public life as a delegate to the Chi.-xigo conv n- tion that nominated Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency. He was an earnest advocate of a Pacific railroad, and was elect ed president of thc Central Pa-' cific compaii when it was or ganized in 18ul. The same year he was elected governor of Cali fornia, and served from Decem ber, 1861. till December, 1863. Ai president of the Pacific road he superintended its construc tion over the mountains, build ing 530 miles in 293 days, and on May 10. 18G9, drove tl.e last spike at Promontory Point, Utah. He also became interested in other roads on thc Pacific slope, and in the development of agri culture and manufactures of California. In 1S85 he was elect ed to thc United States Senate for the full term of six vears, from March 4, 1880. In memory of his onlv son. Mr. Stanford has iven the state of California $20,000,000 to be used in found- in" at Palo Alto a University whose curriculum not only in cludes the usual collegiate studies but comprises instruction in telegraphy, tyoe-setting, typc- writting, journalism, book-keep ing, farming, civil engineering, and other branches of education. The coi ncr stone was laid on May 17. 1887. Including in the trust fund for thc maintenance of the University is Mr. Stan ford's estate at Nina, Tehama county, Cal., which is said to be the largest vineyard in the world. It comprises 30,000 acres. 3,- 500 cf which are planted with bearing vines. Jt is divided into 500 acre tracts, and most of thc labor is performed by Chinamen The most beautiful sound on earth is a silent tongue. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tend to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who lire bet ter than other8 and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting thc world's best products to thc necda of physical being, will attet the" value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in th,e remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to thc taste, thc refreshing and truly beneficial projierties of a jn-rfect lax ative ; effectually cleaning the system, dispelling colda, headaches and fever ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to million and met with the approval of thc Medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Rowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Fig, and being well informed, you will not accept any Bubstituto if offered. STATE NEWS Mrs. A. W. Fraps, aged 52 years, committed suicide in Ral eigh last Friday morning by cutting her throat with a razor. Peter Green, colored, was kill ed by lightning near Oxford Saturday evening while shelter ing in a log cabin from a thunder storm. Rev. Dr. Henry M. Tupper, president of the Shaw University, of Raleigh, had to have his foot amputated to save hislife caused fiom wearing a tight shoe which inflamed his toe. The Winston Sentinel savs that J. IZ. UzzU, who presented the famous rabbit foot to Vice Pres ident Adlai IZ. Stephenson, is still getting orders for rabbit's feet. He says he has sold 8,000. The Greensboro Record of June 23rd says: Last night the Win ston train brought down three hundred crates of peaches, two hundred and fifty crates of which were shipped from Kerncrsville and the other from Friendship and New Garden, consigned to a Philadelphia house. Governor Carr last week par doned Carrie Chisenhall, while, and Mag Bush, colored, rvho were serving a sentence of twelve vears each in the penitentiary for abducting a young white girl for immoral purposes. They had served three vears of their sentence, and evidence has been produced that thc girl was im moral before the alleged ab duction. State Geologist Holmes has made his report to thc Governor. It is a careful summary of thc work of the survey. Prof Holmes is examining the clays of Harnett, and thc sandstones ol Moore, Richmond .and Anson. Assistant Geologist Nitze and Geologist Keith, of the U. S. G. S., arc paying their attention to the Geology of the great Smoky Mountains. Mr. . V.Lewis and Prof. Williams of the U. S. Sur vey arc examining the minerals of Mason and Jackson. Mr. W. W. Ashe, of the forestry depart ment, is studying the timber in the Black Mountain region. News and Observer. Mr. LcRov Tise returned Sat urday from a business trip to Davidson county. While aw.y he was told of a remarkable in incident. A few days ago two men were fishing below the Hol land mill dam, not far from the Forsyth line. In looking up at the mill the fisherman, to their surprise, discovered a colored woman going around on the turbine water wheel. They im mediately notified the miller who stopped operation at once. When removed the woman appeared to be insane. After working and talking with her awhile, how ever, she began to talk with some sense. She said she had been on thc wheel two or three days and was very hungry. When food was brought to her she ate very ravenously. Winston Sentinel.
