The surplus in the United States
treasury over the national expendi
tures was 137,000,000 in 1866; it was
only $2,000,000 in 1874; in 1831 it was
over $100,000,000; in 1882, over $145,-
000,000, and 1883 it was $133,000,000.
This gives a per capita wealth of $2.66.
A French inventor, who has pat
ented a machine for the use of con
centrated solar rays as a general mo

machines in Algeria for the French
government lie is now carrying on
experiments at the island of Porquo
rolles, near Hyeres, in France, where
he is threshing Indian com and rais

Indiana has a Jay Gould in the per
son of E. 11. Shirk of Peru, who owns
seventy-three farms in Indiana that
are all in a high state of cultivation.
He also owns thousands of acres in
Texas, Arkansas, Michigan and lowa,
nine residences, business blocks with
out number, some of them being situ
ated in Chicago and Indianapolis, three
banks, several stores, and as many
mills, which he conducts himself.
It is conjectured that the "bad lands"
of Dakota may owe their condition to
a process which may now be seen go
ing on in the region between Bismarck
and the Little Missouri river. Over n
tract some two hundred feet square
the air quivers with the heat, sulphu
rous vapors make a crystaline deposit
on the edges of crevices in the soil,
and a reddish glow is given out. This
results from the combustion of coal
beneath the surface, and it v. as going
on when the region was first \ isited
by white men.
An Illinois woman named Margaret
Bobbins, wife of a well-to-do farmer,
got mad at her husband ten years ago
because he lost some money she brought
him, went to bed, saying she would
never get up or do a stroke of work,
and has been there ever since. She
felt tired three years ago, started to
go to the breakfast table, fell and
broke her ankle, and has not left the
sheets since. She is as cross as a bear,
scolds everything an inch high, keeps
a broom handle to pound the patient
daughter who waits on her, and knows
every bit of gossip and scandal going
within thirty miles.
An organ which has just been built
in Germany is believed to be the largest
in existence. It counts one hundred
anl seventy-four registers, and is
worked automatically by a of
four-horse power. Its height is twenty
metres, its width eleven, and its depth
ten. Its largest wooden pipe is ten
metres long, and of a cubical capacity
of two thousand litres. The instru
ment is to be set up in the cathedral at
Riga. For the St. Stephen's cathedral
of Vienna the same builders are soon to
construct a still larger organ. The well
known organs of Boston, Ulm and St.
Petersburg were built by the same
men.
A railroad superintendent has given
the San Francisco Call an estimate of
the cost of an average train on a first
class railroad : For an express train
locomotive, 112,000; baggage car,
$1200; smoking car, $5000; dining
room car, $12,000 ; five first-class Full,
mans, SIB,OOO each ; total, $120,000.
The ordinary express train represents
about $85,000. Some Pullman cars
cost $30,000 each. The average value
of a freight train is still greater than
that of a passenger train if the rolling
stock and value of property are in
cluded. Sometimes the through freight
trains aggregate in value from $250,
000 to $300,000.
The bird population of Wisconsin is
estimated at sixty-six per square mile,
or 3,565,000 for the State. Each bird
is assumed to eat fifty insects a day, or
6000 for the summer. Hence, all the
birds will consume 21,384,000,000 in
sects a year. Add to this amount the
work which these birds do in their
Southern homes, and we have a low
estimate of the influences they exert
over insect life. Multiply these figures
by forty-eight, for the States and Ter
ritories, and we arrive at the con
clusion not only that our bird popu
lation is pretty large, but also, that,
without it, our bug population would
soon be so large that it would eat us

Increase of Salmon.
There have been fears expressed
that the enormous consumption of sal
mon in this country wijl cause a scarci
ty of that delicious food fish. But
these fears are groundless. At Asto
ria, Oregon, all the offal of the salmon
used for canning is thrown into the
sea at the shore, the tanneries being
fo situated that the. Pacific ocean at
>&e mouth of the Columbia river re
ceives all this refuse. According to
the Portland Oregonian this seeming
wastefulness is a means of constant
reproduction of the salmon. The first
operation in the canneries, the writer
says, is to relieve the fish of their en
trails, fins, heads, and spawn, and these
are in almost every instance dropped
■into the river. Much of the spawn is,
of course, eaten by fish or destroyed,
but a goodly share finds lodgment in
the bottom, where it hatches. It is a
fact that the water about
the canneries fairly swarms with
young fish during the summer and

In his testimony before the Court of In

of the Greely relief expedition, Gen. Hazen
testified that the sergeant deputed to accom
pany tho Alhnmbra from New York to St.
John's in charge of the stores for the Proteus,
returned to the United States without leave,
claiming to have injured himself by falling
down a hatchway. He had been examined
by a physician, Gen. Hazen said, and his in
juries were believed to be feigned. The man
had acted as supercargo for the Greely exj>o
dition, and his experience would have been
valuable to the commander of the Proteus t
To-day Gen. Hazen was asked if he did not
think it would have been better if Lieut. Gar
lington had superentended the loading of
tho stores himself, so as to know where they
were placed. Gen. Hazen said there would
have been no difficulty about the matter had
the sargeant done his duty. The sergeant,
however, hud just been married before he
ftarted for St. John's, and Gen. Hazen be
lieved this was what acted upon his mind
slid caused all the trouble about the store*.

Beans and Bean Sonp.
\y>re not Governor G rover's ances
tors fed like other Yankees of early
j days on bean soup, succotash and
baked beans? Did not prudent host
-1 esses in those days, with a shrewd eye
i to profit, make the porridge so thin
that it is reported of one hoarder that
he stripped off his coat and mounted
his chair, at dinner, to the horror of
, the landlady, who asked—
"What is the matter, Mr. Smith?"
"I thought I saw a bean," said
Smith, "and was going to dive for it."
Was not one of tho good dames of
those times famous throughout the
colony for the thickness and richness
of her bean soup, whose husband, it is
reported, invited a governor or some
ot her dignitary home to dine with him,
promising him n rare luxury? It was
lute, tho family had dined, and the
mistress gone out for an afternoon
visit.
I " Never mind," said the host, " here
is tho porridge-pot, still on the crane
: in the chimney," and forthwith howls
of steaming liquid were spread upon
j the table. " Wife's soup is not as good
las usual to-day," hut by crumbling
bread into it they man aged to make a
! meal.
At tea the husband said—
"My dear, seems to me your bean
: soup was not us good as common."
" Where did you get it?"
"Out.of the pot in the chimney-
I corner."
j "Blessme," said the horror-stricken
J wife, "that was my dish-water."
Baked beans, baked salt-pork and
rye and Indian bread were the luxu
ries of Bean Hill. Beans every Satur
day night, or the oven-tops would fall
in. Why on Saturday night? It was
said to be commemorative. In Indian
war times an alarm sent tho settlers
scurrying through tho woods to the
block-house. One lady said she left
an oven full of good things, and two
adventurous men stole up through the |
alder swamps and returned with whole
scalps, and the garrisoned community
made a supper of baked beans and
brown bread, and thenceforward the
custom prevailed till it spread over •
the Union, along with hasty pudding, |
to which Barlow dedicated an ode, and
succotash, which the Pilgrims learned
to make of the red Cape Coddies. 1
Thanksgiving was regarded as a sacred
time a centuiy ago. A negro slave of
Governor Huntington, of Norwich,
j was thoughtlessly chopping wood on a
1 Thursday, Thanksgiving day, in late
' November. One of the young ladies
j called to him—
" Saml)o, you musn't cut wood to
| day—it is Sunday."
"Sunday," said Sambo, reflectively;
"we no hah baked beans last night."
A traveller in prairiedom rode up to
a log house on a Saturday night as the
family were sitting down to supper.
His flrst salutation was—
"When did you hear from Bean
Hill last?"
"How did you know we were from j
Bean Hill?"
" By your bean pot, of course."
Holiday (lifts.
Don't put off your purchases until
the last moment, hut commence your
pleasant duty in good season. Next
to the happiness of the children the j
chief delight of Christmas probably is 1
the buying of presents. Not the pur
chase so much as the search for what
will please. It is not the amount of
money spent, but the amount of;
thoughtful care which you bestow on
the selection. A pretty hook, or a
modest pin, a little graceful addition
to the wardrobe or a little parlor orna-1
ment, something that with pretty j
forms combines practical usefulness j
will oftentimes win genuine thankful- j
ness as easily as a costly diamond or a
pair of shining bracelets. It is not
easy to buy Christmas gifts, and not
every one can make proper selections.
Many a man and many a woman, who
does not need to count the shillings, is
>ften in a quandary, when confronting
the wealth of the stores, and savs in
capricious petulance: "If I only knew !
what to get for mother, brother, sister,"
as the case may happen to he. Christ
inas shopping, therefore, should not he
the work of a moment or an hour, at
(east with those who have more than
one beloved one to provide for and
have the means to care for all. But it
should he a task well thought over. 1
You should have your eyes open all |
the time and when you see any pretty, 1
portable and presentable objects, you
should bear in mind that these are the j
very things which you will want,
when the day comes along, and secure
them at once.

A Mistake.
There are numerous ways in which
young folk can make themselves un
pleasant to society, and one of the
most successful in this direction is an
attempt to he original. They imagine
they can turn the world round by some
eccentricity of dress or behavior, or by
some method of speech. In general,
they offend their friends, and delight
their enemies. As a matter of fact,
people had better let well enough alone,
take up the customs of those about
them, and rest assured that what the
collective wisdom of the world agrees
to do, is on the whole best. Here and
there may he room for change, and
possibly fur improvement. It might
he better, for instance, that engage
ments only lasted six months; that
drawing-rooms should he abolished as
useless, or nearly so; that wedding
breakfasts were improved off the face
of the earth, and that a dozen other
alterations were made in our social
customs. It is very noble, possibly
very heroic, to pose as a regenerator of
society. All the same, people who are
content to take things as they are will
find the world wag more easily with
them than if they themselves troubled
to try to regulate the laws of giavita
tion. In nine cases out of ten young
people will find the path of safety in
following cusfoms which are the rule.
Originality may be exciting, but in
the majority of cases where it is tried,
it will he found to entail a good deal
of trouble, and not a little personal
worry.

" Scot Free."
The phrase originated from the old
word scot, or shot, meaning primarily
money, but used in the sense of it
reckoning. Hence to be scot free or
shot free implied that a man had noth
ing to pay, or was clear of any contri
bution. Shakespeare says, "Though
I should 'scape shot free in London, I
fear the shot here; here's 110 scoring
but upon the pate." Shot free also
means uninjured by shot; also, un
punished.

These remarkable items pour into our office
daily. Mr. 11. S. Fri.LFn, with the New Home
Machine Company, of Orange, Mass., writes,
May 2fl, 188.": "Ihavoused Hunt's Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine \ and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the uiinal as many as fifteen times in
a night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunt's
Remedy, and I concluded to try it: and after
nsing one bott'e she was a good deal better,
the inflainmatic n was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and let no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, ar.d this had been a great
burden to do, even the lightest kind of work.
After using six 1 ottles she was completely
cured. Since then I have had occasion to
use Hunt's Remedy for kidnoy and liver com
plaints, and found it to be just as represented,
and I corsider it a most wonderful medicine.
I would not be without Hunt's Remedy in
my family: and I have recommended it to
my friends here in Orange with equally good
results."

Tho Peculiar O/U Mystery I
w It was one of the peculiarities of the old-fashioned Doctors that the- •
never would tell patients what they were prescribing for them. They said
it would do the patients no good to know, and that it would only be grati
fying a foolish curiosity. In order to keep patients from knowing, they
would write the prescriptions in dog-Latin, so that most patients could net
read them. All tnat sort of thing is now over. The patient wants to know what
he takes. Me is weak, and wants to be strong, or he is dyspeptic, and
wants to digest well. ■ Or he has a troublesome liver which he wants to
put to rights. So he takes Brown's Iron Bitters about which there is no
mystery at all. This is the best preparation of iron in the world, in com
bination with gentle yet efficient tonics. It gives strength. r lt builds up
enfeebled systems. It enriches impoverished blood. It removes feminine
weaknesses. It casts out debility. It is what you want, and your druggist
has it / .2
