JOHN LIJtYH. JOHN J. FVANS. C. T. KOBEKI S. Fcb.l-3t. Executive Ciitnntittee. A PLEA FOR " HARVEST." "Fall" Not sta AnaertcaoUm, Hut an Old EacJUn. Term. I have been remiritietl by Reveral friends that the word fall Ls not exclu sively American, but that it is used fur autuuin in some parts of the coun try to this day, says & writer in the Queen. I had learned this fact before, thouph I cannot remember ever to have heard the word used by any country people. Like most so-called Americanisms, it was doubtless taken over by emijTunts and. spread. I think that most Ameri canisms i. come from the strong New England stock. They were the stout est and sturdiest of the English race, therefore the stoutest and sturdiest people in the world. (Let us always, my friends, when we can, lie patriotic.) It is a pretty word: but those who use it contemplate, as we said before, the season as a time of decay and decline and approaching death. Those who speak of autumn think of full barns and granaries overflowing. I am sorry we have not kept our owu old English word. Could we not revive it, and speak of the eaim as that of harvest? Spring, summer, harvest, win ter. These are four uames all good Anglo-Saxon words. Nay, the word ''harvest" haerfest is actually the Anglo-Saxon for au tumn. September is hterfest monad the month of harvest. Let us abolish autumn it can go back to the Latin dictionary and speak henceforth of harvest. JAPANESE STATISTICS. Tbe Population mt Japan Is Kapidly In ereaalnf." Mr. Ono. a Japanese statistician, has just published some interesting figures concerning the remarkable increase of population in that country during the present reign, and especially since 18 '2. In January, 1872, the population was Sa, 11 1,000; in December, ISS'J, it had in creased to 40.070,000. Since 1887 the an nual rate of increase has been thirteen in every 1,000, so that, if this date is preserved, the population will double itself in 58 years. In England the rate of increase "is 13.2 per 1.000, while in most European countries it is between six and nine, and in France and Spain much lower. Mr. Ono points out that the number of births in Ja)an is lower than in most civilized countries, except France, and that the number of illegiti mate children is smaller there than in European states. He therefore at tributes the great increase of the popu lation to the development of wealth since the restoration and to a decrease in the death-rate among children. From the tallies which he gives, he in fers that the national wealth has doubled in Japan in the last ten years, nd he shows that the increase in the population has bven greatest in the uorthem and southern part of the em pire, and least in the central part a phenomenon due to migration from the central provinces. Work ost trie Datnuttw. The Danube river, which is the means of water communication for Vienna with the Red sea, is not navigable by large ships, owing to shoals and rapid currents; but the Austrian government is endeavoring to remove the obstacles, the chief of these being what ia known as the Iron tiate. a rocky gorge between Uoumania and Servia on the Hungarian boundary. The engineering work now being conducted for this purprtse con templates a channel some six thousand eight hundred feet long, the sides of the channel to be formed by two walls of masonry; the river bed between these walls to be blasted out, the amount of rock necessary to be thus removed be ing about three hundred and twenty two thousand cubic yards, and in order to secure the necessary depth to the wa ter the upper end of the walls has to be flared out to form a funnel-shaped chan- THROUGH EUROPE. Spats produced 50,000,000 gallons of wine last year. Theke are 4,822 clubs in France, with a total membership of 9,277,155. A bird in the London Zoo, a shell drake, has apparently committed sui cide on account of the death of its mate. Denmark allows every subject, male or female, who is sixty years of age, a small pension. Only criminals are ex cepted. Telephone operators in ltelgium are required to pass an examination in French, German, English and Flemish and to be able to draw a map of Europe. The profits of the Paris post office, which last year amounted to $10,000, O00, have moved the post wflice clerks to consider w hat steps they should take for getting their salaries raised. Gkkman piano manufacturers are re ported to be in great distress. Former ly they sold many instruments in Rus sia, but the present duty of 100 on a grand piano and f0 on an upright has almost put an end to the export of pianos. It is stated that a new tleparture is about to lie taken by the Hank of France with regard to the material of of its paper issues. The notes have hitherto been made from the best rags, but ramie fiber is now used, and it is not only stronger, but lighter. ABOUT THE CAPITAL. Senator 1rictok, of Vermont, will build for his own use one of the liest residences in Washington, the marble for which will be brought from his own state. The dining-room walls will beof Mexican onyx. David I. Thompson, the new minister to Turkey, speaking of himself, says that he is "a blacksmith by trade, a surveyor by profession, and a banker by occupation." He has served as gov ernor of Idaho one term, mayor of Portland three terms, and state senator four years. Senator Randall L. Gibson, of Louisiana, has suffered from the gout more or less for thirty years. His con dition was such a few months ago that he was anxious to retire from the sen ate, but his friends objected so strongly that he refrained from so doing, al though conscious that his condition was critical. Dennis T. Flynn, Oklahoma's delegate-elect, read law for several years in Mr. Cleveland's office in ItulTalo. He was at that time a young Irish lad, fresh from the country, and had gone to liuffalo on a venture in search of for tune. On leaving Mr. Cleveland's of fice Mr. Flynn went to Kiowa, Kan., where he practiced law and edited a newspaper. CLOTHES OF THE DAY. Little boys wear kilt suits of colored cloth. Sailor suits are worn by girls of all ages. They are invaluable as school and play costumes. A new coat is cut l.xtse. belted in at the waist and has enormous puffed sleeves with narrow cuffs. Giki.s street coats are braided and finished with one or more capes, three or four not being unusual A dress of striped material is so cut that the wearer has the appearance of being diagonally bound up with nar row tape. It is scarcely pretty and not at all graceful. The turban is fairly fashionable. The most approved style fits rather closel y to the head and recalls the old days when a saaeer-shaped headgear with out trimming was looked upon as quite the thing. An outgrown dress for a girl may be refitted by taking out the sleeves, lengtnening the skirt with a band of velvet, adding a jacket of velvet or other suitable material, and a lelt or half corselet either of leather or goods. EUROPE'S NOBILITY. When Lady Somerset came into pos session of her estate she canceled back rents aggregating $500,000. She has 125.000 tenants, 100,000 of whom are in London. The speaker of the British house of commons receives a salary of $25,000 a year, and when he retires is raised to the peerage, with an annual pension of $20,000. The chairman of Mr. John Morley's evicted tenants commission. Sir John Mathew, is a nephew of the cele brated Father Mathew, who was mighty in temperance work. The duke of Sutherland is the largest land owner in the United Kingdon. The duke possesses no less than 1,S5S,545 acres of land, all of which, save about 15,000 acres, are in Scotland, and his rent roll is more than $700,000 a year. Lord Tennyson's wedded life was un usually bright, and he was indebted to his wife for those long years of free dom from personal care and annoy ance which enabled him to devote his time to the service of mankind. His de votion to and tent'er care of his wife were beautiful to see. THOUGHT SHE SAW SATAN. Kat ha. aa Eaqalsnaa. Falls 1'aeoasrlaas at ta Sight of a Colored Mask In Labrador they have no Wagner cars and consequently no Wagner por ters. Neither do they have barber-shops. The game of policy is unknown. It is too cold for white vests. Estha, having grown to plump maidenhood, had never seen any colored people. Estha is the Esquimau girl brought all the way to Chicago to live in a sealskin tent at the world's fair grounds. The other day she was sitting on a bearskin rug, en joing the icy breeze that came in under the raised flap. While she was thus engaged a colored gentleman with fur on his coat went into the special exhibit to see the peo ple from the north pole. He asked an attendant if he could look into one of the houses. The attendant said: "Sure." The colored gentleman ducked his head and crawled in. coming face to face with Estha of the round and buttery face. There was a shriek of mortal terror and a colored man came scrambling out. They found Estha in a dead faint. Af ter she had partially recovered she Ite came hysterical, weeping and shivering and talking hot Esquimau to the ex cited little natives who gathered about her. In Labrador she had never seen an ebony face. She thought the inno cent man with fur on his coat was Satan. THE DOG'S IDEA OF HIS MASTER. lie Probably ftegard Ulna as an Abnor mal MrntUrr of 111 M-lr. Our custom of ascribing human fac ulties and modes of thought is an invol untary and invariable one whea we are dealing with the mental prttcesss of other beings, says Dr. Ituis Robinson in Popular Scicm-e Monthly. Even when we speak of the supernatural the same habit is manifest, and human pas sions, emotions and weaknesses are constantly ascrilied to Wings presumed to be infinitely more remote from us in power and knowledge than we are from the dog. Thus we see in the not very distant past roasted flesh and fruits were thought by men to Ik? acceptable to the gods, doubtless lnvause they were pleasing to the palates of the wor shipers, who reasoned by analogy from the known to the unknown. This should teach us to liear in mind that there is, affecting the dog's point of view, al most undoubtedly such a thing as cyno morphism, and that lie lias his peculiar and limited ideas of life and range of mental vision, ami therefore perforce makes his artificial surroundings square with him. It has lns-n said that a man stands to his tlog in the position of a gtal, but when we consider that our own et inceptions of deity lead us to th. general idea of an enormously power ful anil omniscient man. who lovi'S, hates, desires, rewards and punishes in human-like fashion, it involves no strain of imagination to conceive that from the tlog's point of view his master is an elongated and abnormally cunning dog; of different shape and manners certain ly to the common run of dogs, yet canine in his essential nature. KICKED BY A DEAD MAN. A tiovernmetit Mall Carrier's K.xprrtenre with a l.yiit betl Kobltcr. "I hail my hat kicked off one dark night by a dead man." said John A. Ed wards to a St. Louis Glolte-I k-mocrat reporter. "When a youngster of nine teen I was ritling a star mail route in southwestern Missouri. It was just after the war, and footpads were very plentiful. tne dark night a couple of these gentry tried to hold me up. but I was mounted on a mettlesome horse and I stK'ked the spurs home and pule over them. I went plunging on through the darkness for several hundred yards when m' horse stopped so suddenly that I inadvertently left the saddle and sat astride his neck. "My roadster was trembling all over with fright, but. to save me, I could see nothing. I thought it must lie more fttotpads and spurred the horse for ward, while 1 held my pistol ready for the expected attack. "As I passed a large walnut tree that nearly covered the road a big muddy boot struck me in the face and scraped my hat off. I concluded that I did not need a hat, so did not stop to recover it. "tin my way back next morning I found that the kicker was a dead man whit was swinging from a limit with a piece of paper pinned to his shirt, on which was scrawled: 'Thou shalt not steel speshally cows and mewls.' " THE PARSON'S TEETH. They Didn't Arrive In Time, So He Had to lie KtruH-d. There is a story of a clergyman who had taken temporary duty for a friend ami who had the ill luck to-injure his false teeth during the week. The plate was sent to the dentist's for repairs, a faithful assurance licing given that it should be duly returned by Sunday's post, but the dentist or the post proved faithless." With the assistance of the clerk the clergyman managed tt) stumble through the prayers, but felt it would be impos sible to attempt to preach. He there fore instructed the clerk to "make some excuse for him and dismiss the congre gation. Hut his feelings may lie bett'er imag ined than deserilied when, in the se clusion of the vestry, he overheard the clerk, in impressive tones, thus deliver the "excuse:" "Parson's very sorry, but it is his mis fortune to lie obliged to wear a set of artful teeth. They busted last Wednes day and he ain't got them back from London tit-day, a he was promissd. I've helped him all I could through the service, but I can't do no more for him; isn't any use for him going into the pul pit, for you wouldn't understand a word he said, so he thinks you all may as well go home." VANISHING ANIMALS. Man Is Huntlns; Them Off Completely from the sarth. No one can read a Ixtok of travel in wild countries without having brought forcibly before him the grave fact that many of the most interesting forms on this earth are on the brink of extermina tion. The bison is practicalH' gone as a wild animal from North America. The quagga is not now to lie found in South A f r.ca. Tbe harmless and interesting ant bear appears also to be going the way of the mammoth and the mastodon. The London Zoo cannot get a giraffe. The price of animals in the market has gone up to unprecedented figures. We carefully provide their native majes ties of Africa with repeating rifles to accelerate the process of annihilation. Travelers warn us that the dismal slaughter proceeds with an ever accel erated pace so long as animals can be found to be killed. The destruction apparently must soon result in most of the larger wild ani mals becoming as extinct as the dodo. LINES OF FUN. A market report states that "cran berries are cornered." This is hardly the term to use. "Cranberries are jammed' would be more appropriate. Philadelphia Times. ItRiGOsi "Now, Mr. Slimdiet, I would like to have your ideas of eternal pun ishment. Do you r Slimdiet "That's no trouble to give. It's a place where they don't serve pie with every incJi.1." Inter Ocean. A college graduate, who applied to an editor for a place on his Jiper, in stating his qualifications said that he had been the champion boxer of his class. "All right," said the editor, "I'll give you a situation to lick stamps." "Is that your daughter at the piano in the music-room?" "Yes," replied the mother, proudly. "She's playing forte, isn't she?" "No, only one. You see, that Wagner's music, and I must says it always sounds like forty to rue. Loo. W aslungton Star. IMPERSONALITIES. A LEADING Philadelphia society lady has hair :i inches in length. She is only 61 inches (5 feet I inch) in height. A Philadelphia candidate complains that so many lies were told aliout him during the campaign that he cannot now get credit from his tailor.
