The earnings in the United States in
iirty years were $149,500,000,000 and
le accumulation of wealth has been $37,65,000,000,
or nearly one-fourth of the
arnings, made up of $10,160,000,000 in
urms, $4,905,000,000 in railways, $2,60,000,000
in factories and $20,520,00,000
in houses, etc. The annual acumulation
of wealth average $1,265,00,000,
or about fifty per cent, over the
ccumulations of either Great Britain or
'ranee.
The inventive genius of the country
ias devised labor-saving machinery for

commerce and mining, to which
?ry much of the credit for the country's
ronderful progress is due. In the race

In the whole country an army of workers
have been displaced by machinery,
while a large contingent of operators has
been placed in the manufacture of laborsaving
appliances. Improved processes
of manufacture and competition make
everything made cheaper to the consumer.
In 1880 there were in the United States
2,733,000 operatives engaged in manufacture,
representing and supporting 13,665,000
consumers, or one-quarter of the
copulation then, with $5,585,000,000
product,or an average of $2045 per hand,
with $990,000,000 wages paid operatives.
The product of the census for 1890 will
probably reach between $S, 000,000,000
and $9,000,000,000, with a very large
increase in operatives representing and
supporting an army of consumers of
everything produced in the country.
Every week there are chronicled numerous
new manufacturing enterprises giving
place to large numbers of workers.
The most notable are the organizations
at Pittsburg and Chicago for the manufacture
of tin and terne plates, for which
we have paid Great Britain $244,000,000
in the last fifteen years, and a ten-million
iron plant.?New YorJc Graphic.
Fishing for Trout With Live Mice.
The waters of the little Broadhead at
Pocono, Penn., are sprinkled with
numerous pools, deep and dark, which
are the home of big trout. A few days
ago the attention of a fisherman was
attracted by tho sight of a little field
mouse that was making frantic struggles,
to cross one of these deep pools. While he
watched it there was a flurry in the water,
and a monster trout darted up and seized
the little struggling creature.
That was enough to set the fisherman's
brain to working, find early the next day
he was out in search for field mice. He
soon captured several, and then he rigged
up a harness of mice. To this he
attached a gang hook that was connected
with the line on his rod. The hook was
near enough to the hind quarters of the
mouse to make it impossible for a trout to
swallow the mouse without also swallowing
the hook, but it was far enough away
to permit it to sink in the watar as if
there were no connection between the
ftw/1 linnlr Tlion Wlfll thft
luuuog auu vuo uvwa. ?
harnessed mouse in his hand and the
others in a tin box in his creel, the angler
stole softly to a rock overhanging the
pool where the swimming mouse had met
its fate on the previous day. He dropped
his captive into the water, and watched
it struggling laboriously across the dark
water toward the opposite bank. It had
covered half the distance when a big
monster of a trout fell upon it. When
the fish felt the hook his rage knew no
bounds, and he fought for over an hour
before he could be landed. He was sixteen
inches long and weighed nearly
three pounds. The fisherman had to cut
the hook out and make another harness,
and for every mouse he was repaid by a
whopping big trout.?New York Sun.
Haymaking in Finland.
A curious way of making hay is very
generally adopted by the Finns, says the
| Mark I/me Express. Poor men who own
no meadows have long been accustomed
to cut what grass they can find in the
forest glades and other waste lands.
Owing to the lack of roads and farmsteads
the hay was stuffed among the
branches of neighboring trees to await the
winter frosts and snow, when it could
easily be carried off by sledges. After a
wet season some farmers noticed that this
was actually better in quality than that
which they themselves had made from
' much better grass. The wild crop, so to
' ** Vvftffa* in a
Cttli 1L, USU Uilb'U luutu ISWUkbl lu tut,
j tree branches exposed to a free circula'
tion of air than the rich herbage which
had lain long on the sodden ground.
Hence it occurred to them to make temporary
trees upon which their own crops
j might be dried.
This experiment was attended with
j such success that the plan has been widely
imitated und bids fair entirely to supplant
the old-fashioned methods. Af*er the
mowing is done a number of poles about
ten feet in length and provided with long
transvers^pegs are set up at intervals and
the grass is loosely heaped upon them.
The result is said to be excellent. Even
in wet weather only a small portion forming
the outside of the pile is discolored,
while the inner portions, exposed to the
air beneath and protected from the rain
i above, are dried in perfect condition.
Mowing can be carried on in spite of
wind and rain, and when once the grass
is placed upon the drying-poles it may be
left without fear of serious damage until
the weather changes.
Statistics of Suicide.
Bertilion, a French scientist, made exhaustive
researches in relation to suicides
a few years ago. He found that among
1,000,000 of inhabitants the following
numbers committed suicide:
Married men with children 205
Married men without children 470
Widowers with children 526
Widowers without children 1,004
Married women with children 45
Married women without children 158
Widows with children - 104
Widows without children 238
From this it may be seen that when
marriage is childless the number of suicides
is doubled in men and tripled in
women, and also that maternal love diminishes
the number of suicidcs among
widows with children by one-third over
those of childless unions.?Chicago
Times.
Highly-Paid Prelates.
The Austrian archbishops are probably
the most highly paid in the world. The
cardinal archbishop of Vienna has about
$30,000 a year, but the cardinal archbishop
of Olmutz has $200,000, the
cardinal archbishop of Prague has $175,000,
and the archbishop of Eriru has
$300,000. And the primate of Hungary,
the cardinal archbishop of Grrou, has!
$400,000 a year.
AGRICULTURAL.,
TOPICS OP INTEREST REIiATIYE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
DISCOURAGING THE CABBAGE WORM.
Mr. Andrew S. Fuller finds that the
green cabbage worm is discouraged by
the following treatment: Two quarts of
coal tar are put into an open vessel,
which is set in the bottom of a barrel,
and the barrel is filled with water. In
forty-eight hours the water is impregnated
with the odor of the tar, although
the tar is not dissolved in it. The water
is then sprinkled abundantly on the cabbages,
and the odor penetrates every
portion of the head, killing or driving
away tne worms, as tne water evaporates
no stain or odor remains on the cabbage.
The same quantity of coar tar can be
made to impregnate several successive
barrels of water.?Boston Cultivator.
repairing tins.
Farmers who live remote from any
place where there is a tinsmith are often
troubled by leaks in tin roofs, or eave
troughs. Any farmer can repair them
and make them stronger than before.
Find the leak, and apply a good coat of
rather thick paint; put on a piece of old
bagging or coarse muslin, then a second
coat of paint, rubbing it well in and
smoothly. Then cover with a piece of
tin, nailing it down tightly close to the
edge, using large-headed tacks; those
known as twenty-four or thirty ounce.
Iron tacks are best. Then give another
coat of paint, and the leak is not only
repaired, but that part will last much
longer than the rest. Old fruit cans are
just the thing for the purpose; set them
on top of a hot stove till the solder is
melted, and then flatten them out.?New
York Witness.
cube fob colic in horses.
C. H. Allen, Queens County, N. Y.,
writes the American Agriculturist that he
has found three drops of tincture of colocynth
a sure cure for colic. The tincture
is to be given in three or four tablespoonfuls
of water, repeating the dose every
twenty minutes until there is relief. Colocynth
is a strong irritant, yet, although
we do not doubt that horses have recovered
from colic after taking three drops
i of tincture of colocynth, we can hardly
i believe that so small a dose has produced
i fhic pflfpft. tt. iq rrivpn tn ttio tmmnn nnh
ject in doses of from five to fifteen grains.
Among the most effectual remedies for
both spasmodic and flatulent colic in the
horse are the following: Aloes, eight
drams; tincture of aconite, thirty drops,
in a pint of water; or linseed oil a pint,
to which may or not be added an ounce
of sulphuric ether; or oil of turpentine,
two drams; laudanum, one ounce; linseed
oil, a pint, or in great pain, laudanum
two ounces; warm water, eight ounccs.
Veterinarians often use hypodermically
Magenda's solution of morphine from
twenty to forty drops, or asafetida two
; ounces, tincture of opium (laudanum)
I half an ounce. The doses above are in
' marked contrast to the doses of colocynth,
which are not more than from a quarter
to a grain, probably.
THE ODDS-AND-EM) CORNER.
Every one should have a corner of the
garden in which to grow flowers to cut
from. If you have not the flowers, you
have the corner and the flowers ought to
find place in it. We have a bed into
which a little of everything goes. It is
called the "odds-and-end" bed. Does
a branch get broken off the geranium?
We stick it down in this bed, and before
we know it it has taken root and bej*un
to grow, and before long we are cutting
flowers from it. Are there some old
house-plants that seemed to have outlived
their usefulness in pots, but which
we do not want to throw away? The
"odds-and-end" bed has a place for
them, and when we find them renewing
their youth and giving us fine blossoms
for the daily bouquet we are glad that
I we gave them a place there. Here we
I plant the annnals that there is no other
! place for after a thinning out the beds;
i here we set out the bulbs that we are a
little fearful about. Aristocratic plants
I and plebeian plants are all on an equal
! footing. There is a thicket of vines all
along the fence, a tangle of plants all
1 about the corner, and more flowers, we
sometimes think, than we get from the
show-bed in front of the house. It is the
most attractive part of the garden, so
utterly informal, and has a "sit-downand-make-yourself-at-home"
air about it.
By all means, have and "odds-and-end"
corner in your garden.?American Agriculturist.
BREEDING TURKEYS.
In selecting turkeys for breeding pur:
poses choose those that have long, symmetrical
bodies, full breasts and broad
j backs. The neck should be slender but
i not too long, head small and keen-looking,
covered with short, black hair; the
wattle and gills should be of a bright red
color.
The legs should be of moderate length,
and in birds eight or nine months old
are a dead black color; as they grow
older their legs become lighter in color,
until they are quioc pink. The plumage
of a healthy bird is bright and glistening.
When you select birds take those that
are gentle?not wild. They will cause
you much less trouble than those that are
easily frightened. Generally better results
will be obtained if you mato birds
that are not related. Would at least
change "Toms" every second year.
Turkeys will not stand crowding; they
6hould be allowed to range at will. They
are great foragers, and are of great bene|
fit. as insect destroyers, to growing crops,
j The hen turkey naturally hides her nest,
! and it is best to humor this whim, yet
j there is no need of its location being
. known only to the turkey?and a rat or
| mink. If turkeys are petted and are
not scared by man or dog, they
will nest near the house, and will
deposit their eggs in nests that you make,
if you do not make "nice" ones. The
turkey abhors pomp and "style." A
good nest is made with an old barrel laid
upon its side in some secluded fence corner;
then carefully throw some brush
over it. Or a brush pile that has an accidental
(?) opening to a smooth place
beneath. When the hen goes peering
about to find this place, don't watch her
from where she can see you. Be j'ist as
particular as she is not to be seen. Gather
the eggs when she is not about (use one
or two nest eggs), and keep them in a
dry, cool place. Our plan is to set the
first "litter" under hens, and let the
turkey have those she lays for a seccnd
litter. Unless she is a remarkably good
| layer she will bs abie to cover all she
-CL . . ? .'.>4 <_
lays at this time. If she steals her nest I
and brings off a nice brood of turks before
you are aware she is laying, don't
show your disappointment by neglecting
her and her brood, but give her to understand
that you appreciate her sagacity
and success in getting the start of you.
Treat her well and when fall comes her
nice, great big birds, plump and fat for
the table, will be an ample reward.?

CARE OP LAMES.
August and September are critical
months for the lambs. Very likely they
are somewhat neglected during the hurry
and heat of July. Certainly now the
pastures are dried and short, water scant
and there are heat, flics and the attacks of
parasites. Only the best of care will prevent
the death of enough lambs to reduce
largely the profit of the season. Even
with it there are likely to be sick lambs,
and it will be necessary to provide a
hospital for them. A cool, aarK, clean
pen is the best hospital, and to it every
sick one of the flock should be brought ;
during the warm weather.
Diarrhoea is apt to prevail, and in
twenty-four hours it will become dysentery,
and the lamb will be found dead in
a corner unless a close watch is kept.
This diarrhoea is thought to be rather of
the nature of a blood disease, and to be j
produced by heat, scant or unwholesome
drink, nervous depression, and the foulness
of the out-of-the-way places the animals
seek. Preventives are, shelter from
the heat, abundance of good water, and
the reinforcement by palatable, succulent
1 feeds of the exhausted pastures. ^The
filth in the region of the tail and the
strong odor of the abdomen of the wethers
is apt to attract the blow-fly, Sarcophaga
carnaria, one of which may be responsible
for twenty thousand larvae in a
season.
A "fly-blown" lamb is soon a dead one,
unless effective measures are taken.
Crude petroleum is fatal to the larvae,
while healing to the lamb, and is the best
remedy. But prevention is better?
watch the lambs and clean thoroughly
any foul or strongly odorous ones.
An all-'round preventive for fall ailments,
including "paper skin," is full
feeding?not the feeding of dry, oily
grains, but largely of green, succulent
food. Putting the lambs in the corn
fields is very beneficial. The lambs get
shade and additional green food; they
do not injure the corn, as they remove
only the lower blades. They are a benefit
to the corn, as they will keep down
any weeds that may have been overlooked
in cultivation, and if tho removal
of the lower blades has any effect, it i8
to hasten the maturing of the corn and
get it out of tho way of frost. Sheep
much enjoy having to exercise somewhat
for their food, and the lambs will be all
the better for their nibbling along the
row. They may well be given, also, a
little bran, rye and oats. It is always
risky to have sheep drink from streams
with grassy or weedy banks, and especially
so at this season.?American Agriculturist.
THE POULTRY YARD..
Throw the windows and doors open.
Rest in the shade and let you chickens
do likewise.
Don't estimate the size of ths egg from
the length of the cackle.
It may be just as well to hatch no more
chicks for six weeks, at least.
Wire netting of one inch mesh will
keep out animals that prowl around after
young birds.
If the bottom of your feed bin is on the
ground,your meal is probably moldy and
unfit for food.
Keeping the droppings covered with
dry earth is ono important means of preventing
cholera.
Drown or chloroform the cat that'
develops a fondness for chickens. This
is the speediest euro.
Let the poultry have some of the gleanings
of the wheatfield placed under a tree
near by for their especial benefit.
All fowls that are to be dressed and
sold should bo killed before they begin
to moult and the pin feathers appear.
The modern method of whitewashing
poultry houses is to make the wash thin,
strain it and throw it on with a handforce
pump. Have you tried it?
It is dangerous at all times, and
especially in hot weather, to have sick
birds running with the flock. Kill them
or put them in the hospital at once.
One of the best places we know of this
season for a brood of chicks is on the
edge of a corn field. They have loose
earth, shade and security from hawks.
To ship dressed poultry this hot weather
use barrels with two or three augur holes
in the bottom. Put in 8 layer of poultry,
breast down; then fill in tho chinks with
broken ice, and so continue until the
barrel is full. Use plenty of ice on the
top layer. Cover with burlap.
An Algerian Horror.
A performance which is qute out of
the common rut is that of the Aissaouas
in the Algerian concert at tho Paris Exposition.
The Aissaouas are not actors,
dancers, or athletes; they belong to a
tribe where religious juggling is kept in
great honor. To please the Divinity they
eat the leaves of the thorny cactus, make
their eyes project from their orbits, pierce
their cheeks with long needles, have
themselves bitten by vipers, swallow
snakes or keep their equilibrium on a
dagger, and all this is accompiisnca without
shedding blood and without apparent
pain or injury to themselves. After
roasting for a few minutes over a brazier
holding hot coals, they look intoxicated
and give to the head a rotary impulse
which leaves them in a sort of hypnotize!
state. Then, at the sound of a putioular
sort of musio, they perform before the
public all the acts that I have just enumerated.
It is terrifying, even repugnant,
but all the same it is very curious,
and is one of the great attractions of the
Exposition.?Chicago Herald.
Lobster and Milk are Dangerona.
"I was called to see Miss Blank, and
she is suffering from a poisonous dose of
lobster and ice cream?not so seriously
poisoned that it was necessary to use a
stomach pump, but poisoned enough to
make her very ill. And now I want to
tell you what everybody doesn't know,
but what everybody ought to know in
this weather. Lobster and milk, when
taken together, form a combination of
a poisonous nature, and lobster taken
with any form or preparation of milk is
very pernicious in its effect on the
bowels. Beware of the lobster, but if
you must take him, take him straight!''

The Kola Nut. 1
The commercial importance of the
kola nut has, for some time, been steadily
growing. It is a valuable dietetic and
therapeutic agent, and is allied in composition
to cocoa, coffee and tea, but
contains a relatively large amount of
caffeine. The properties ordinarily assigned
to kola are those of a strong tonic
and stimulant to the nervous system,
counteracting and removing the sense of
exhaustation after fasting and fatigue; it
has also been credited with having an
antagonistic action to alcohol, and is frequently
used in the countries where it is
grown for that purpose; it is also said to
purify water. It has a peculiar stimulant
action on the nervous system, temporarily
strengthens the heart beat and increases
the arterial tension. In times of
exertion and fasting it wards off the
6ense of mental and physical depression
and exhaustion. As a water purifier,
there is reason to believe that its action
is purely mechanical. In a report which
has been recently maae on tins uui, ik ?
recommended to be used as an infusion
in the treatment of diarrhoea, where its
astringent action is beneficial.
