' The New York Herald, in a cotutrra on' investments in Western mortgages, shows that the people of the State of New York . Lave over $3,250,000 in them. The press and land owners of Portugal are becoming alarmed at the dearth of cultivators, and demand that the Govern ment shall put a stop to emigration, as husbandry is suffering. According to the Struct Railroad Gat ttU, the proportion of fatal accidents on the basis of numbers carried is very greatly in tavor of the electric and cable toads and against the horse car lines. ' 'The Utopia, which recently wentdo'xn with 1500 passengers on board, was quite as well equipped with life -saving ap paratus," signilicently observes the "Washington Star, 4;as are the leading passenger lines going out of New York, the individual steamers of which often carry from 600 to 1200 passengers in the summer season." Says the Washington Post : "The careless and apparently indiscriminate manner with which the courts of to-day destroy tho wills of rich men, docu ments that embody the purpose and cb 'ject of a lifetime of toil, has become one of the notable and notorious abuses of the day, and against this evil there is ris ing a vigorous demand for rectification and reform." It is said that Mrs. Kyle, wife of the Alliance Senator from South Dakota, felt overpowering confidence during the can vass that her husband would be elected, and whenever he talked of declining the nomination she insisted that he would yield and win. This, confesses the Boston Transcript, brings woman's intuition into play in politics in a new and admirable way. The Statesman's Year Bool, for 1891 es timates the world's inhabitants last year, exclusive of the Polar regions, to have been 1,467,000,000 and the land surface they occupy in whole or in part at 46, 350,000 square miles, of which 28,2G9, 000 square miles arc fertile, 13,901,000 teppe and 4,180,000 desert. The Polar regions are put down at 4,888,800 square miles, with a population of only about 300,000. A London Board of Trade return, just issued, shows the large decrease in the hours of labor during the past ten years, which is bringing the eight-hour limit nearer and nearer. Bakers who, a decade ago, worked seventy-two hours a week now work fifty-four hours ; miners, for merly sixty hours, now thirty-eight and forty-eight hours. Workmen of all trades now average fifty-four hours weekly, or sine hours a da v. The Atlanta Constitution remarks: First-class type-written copy is hailed with pleasure in newspapers and maga aine offices, but very little of it is first class. It is a positive relief to get a manuscript legibiy written on white pa per in good black ink, with a pen that makes a broad stroke. The trouble with many writers is that they use a pen with a fine point, and write a hair-line scrawl that is hard to read. It is possible to make written copy as plain as print, and this is what every writer should do. A profound sensation has been created in Italy by the report that a French house sent 100,000 Remington cartridges to King Mouelek, of Abyssinia, byway of : Obock. As Italy considers Mouelek to ' be under Italian protection, this is re garded as an interference with Italian rights, andhas not served to hasten the revival of friendly relations between , ' Prance and Ita'.y. A good share of the Italians, however, would like to give up 4$!AMcmi adventures altogether, one of the -Roman newspapers saying that "when ; the whole truth is known, the necessity ;:4'of Abandoning the entire enterprise will ' J-'. be seen, and there will be only one mors . rV ,' research necessary, namely, to find some - one jet mora foolish than ourselves who j i will take the charge upon their shoul ' i dn.' THS CTJTSE 07 TEZ XASTH. The Latest Information About the Tiros Below,: It ia positively known that, as you de scend into the bowels of our globe, the temperature rues steadily at the rate of one degree Fahrenheit for every fifty feet, until at least 4,000 some say 10,000 degrees is reached. Even at 4,000 de grees every known substance metals, rocks and all becomes fused and liquid. This condition of things is found when a point twenty miles from the surface is reached ; from that point on the heat re mains about the same all the way to the very middle. To understand this it must be remembered that 'the earth was originally an incandescent ball of the same temperature all the way through from the crust to center. Now that the crust has cooled sufficiently to enable life to exist upon it, the state of affairs is still the same inside. The incandescent sphere was formed in one of two ways. Either it was thrown out by the sun, around which it has since revolved somewhat like a ball that a small boy whirls at the end of a string, or it was composed of an aggregation of meteors that generated heat by collision. Such arc the two theories held by scientific men to day, though many other very ex traordinary ones havo been suggested. The celebrated Poison advanced the idea thut, owing to the heat given out by many of the giant suns that bespangle the universe, great variations in the tem perature of space exist, some vast regions Seing cool and others iutensely hot. While pa-sing through a hot region, he iurmied, the solar system acquired its present store of caloric. It seems curious that such a great ball of tire as the earth is at present, with a crust ever so much thinner in proportion than the shell of an egg, should not be too hot to live upon. As a matter of fiict, however, the t rust is so good a non conductor that the railiatiou is very small. Twenty miles down beneath your feet is all one vast furnace, and yet not enough warmth escapes from it to produce any appreciable effect upon the temperature of the air. It has been de cided that the entire heat which escapes through the surface of the earth in one year would just sullice to melt a layer of ice a quarter of an inch ia thickness en veloping the globe. It seems a pity that some of the warmth from this nether of tire could not lie fetched by artificial con duits outward, in order that it might run the machinery of the world and heat the houses. Unfortunately, supposing such a scheme practicable, a conduit might at any time transform itself into an active volcano, which would be un pleasant, especially in cities. It must not be imagined that the fusion of everything inside the earth implies, as most people conceive, that rocks and metals are flowing about in a liquefied condition. The lact is that this enor mous incandescent mass, which would flow iike so much water if it were free, is held together by the pressure due to gravitation so mightily as to be as ritjid and compact as so much steel. This pressure, increasing steadily all the way from the crust, amounts at the center of the globe to not les than forty-five mil lions of pounds on each square inch. Acting from all sides inward to the cen ter, it has naturally tended to crowd the materials of which the earth is composed together, so that their density becomes immensely increased. An average piece of the earth's crust weighs a little over two and a half times as much as water. In the middle of the sphere the average weight of things is eleven times as great as water. That means that the inner most mass is as heavy and as dense as lead is. Kate Field's Washington. Couldn't Undersell Him. A proprietor of a country store was noted fi r being particularly affable and obliging to his customers, and he had a clear headed anil smart young man for clerk. One day one of the best custom ers of the concern called to buy a dress pattern. The price was seventy live cents, aud alter a long talk the clerk closed the bargain at seventy cents. While the clerk was selecting trimmings, &c, in another part of the store, the genial partner came along rubbing his hands, inquired after the family of the customer, praised her taste in selecting that par ticular piece of goods, and, as a special favor, let her have it for sixty-eight cents per yard. The clerk returned and the lady told of the reduction the proprietor had just made. The clerk was furious, but not in the least disconcerted. He saw that if the customers thought that he was selling higher than others In the store they would avoid him, and his discharge would fol low, so he says: "I just looked at the bill and can sell you that piece at sixty-five centsayard." When the deal was completed the pro prietor was as angry as the clerk. "Do you know that I made the price sixty eight cents?" said the proprietor. "Yes," said the clerk, "but I want you to understand that no man can un dersell me in this store." Dry Goods Chronicle. Ice and Flowers. The fields of flowers 6kirting the for ests surpass in rank luxuriance and in brilliancy of color auything of the kjnd it has been my fortune to see elsewhere. On the terraces and lower slopes of the mountains projecting iuto the Jlalaspina Glacier Lnc may walk for miles through flowery meadows, shoulder-deep in a sea of bloom. No daisy meadow in New England is more thickly carpeted with blossoms ' than these re mote, unexplored gardens of southern Alaska. Winter and summer, lovely ver dure and icy desolation, are here side by side. One may stand on the border of an ice field miles in breadth and pluck as beautiful a garland of flowers and ferns as ever graced a May festival. A few hundred feet above the timber line it is always winter. Near the lower limit of the summer's snow there are occasional sunny slopes so situated as not to be swept by avalanches, which are covered with a dense plush of bril liant alpisc blossoms, and form a most pleasing contrast to the pparkling cliffs of snow and ice surrounding them. In the higher mountain 3 thcro is absolutely no vegetation. Even the tints of lichens and mosses are absent from the precipices, and all the less rugged slopes are buried beneath snow and ice.-Century.

The little King of Spain very much dislikes being seated upon the throne at State ceremonials. He tries to climb down, and on one occasion declared, with tears, that he would rather sit on his mother's lap. Tho noted Kinsiati Nihilist, Stcpnink, lias boon lecturing in Memphis, and told his auditors what Nihilism was in tonus that conflict greatly with the popular notion lure. S.iidlie: "Ni hilism sprung from nn effort to throw oil the yoke of despotism in ltii'siu. Its prime object was to rebel against the iolent methods of Russian Govern ment. If yon are asked what the Ni hilists are you would be told that Ni" hilists are those people who favor de structive means to gain their political ends. But while Nihilists arc working for a constitutional monarchy their work is an honest purpose. Aftor they secure a constitutional monarchy thoy will hope for further progress and get a limited monarchy, verging as nearly as possible ti the plan of a free republican government. France has gone through this process of gain ing poli.ical freedom Sooner or later Russia mu-;t have a better govern ment " According to the Boston Cultivator 'the rate of farm wages lias not de clined, despite the depression to which farming business hiis been subjected. A young man willing to work can earn more net money working for a good farmer than ho can at many city employments, where the strife for position has cut down wages to little more than the price of board and tloihes. In farm work board is gen- c i ally included, and (ho clothes need not be expensive. It was not an un common thing for young men fifty or sixty years ago to work out until they accumulated money enough to buy farms. Men who thus worked their way np were really serving an appren ticeship, and made much better far mers than those who went into the business without this experience. It is not often that a young man can. get wages mora than enough for bis board while learning his business. lie can in farming." PROFESSIONAL. DR. C. K.
