NO CROWDING IN TEXAS.
Nome Stageerln H-ura Kficardlna; the
Area ot the Lone star state.
A receutlv printed statement that
the western states of America are
Vec-oinin- crowded, is disproved by
Onrcs that, through various man
ipulations, tell a most wonderful
story f the lenth and breadth of
the mapnitioent empire lyinjf west of
the Mississippi river. Of the vast area
of the larger western states, people who
have not visited them and traveled over
them have no comprehensive idea
Texas, the largest of the United States,
has an area of -iVJ.ilH) square miles. To
the casual reader, says Kate Field's
Washinjrt.tn. these fiiires mean but
very little; they show, however, that
the" Lone Star state is more than
tiftv-four times as larpe as the state of
Connecticut. If it were possible to run
a railway train from Connecticut to
Texas and back in a day, and if the
train could take the entire population
of the Xutmejr state, as given by the
last census, at every trip, and, upon its
return, there should be as many persons
in the state as there were before the
train left with its caro. and if each
one of these people were placed upon -an
acre of ground upon nis arrival in Texas,
the train would be obliged to make -J--!4
trips, or to depopulate Connecticut -2i4
times, before accomplishing its mission,
and then there would remain in Texas
TO:i,bOS empty acres. It may be of pass
ing interest to know that such a train,
made up of coaches twenty feet lonpr,
capable of accommodating- fifty pas
sengers each, would extend over a dis
tance of more than tifty-six miles.
If the entire state of Texas were
planted with corn and the hills were
two feet apart and the rows were three
feet apart, and if every man, woman
and child in the state of Connecticut
were set to work in the field to hoe the
corn, and each person was able to and
ifid hoe two hills in five minutes.it would
take this army of laborers seven years.
'20 days and seven hours to hoe every
hill of corn in the state, laboring con
tinuously day and night :' days each
year.
To those persons who have never
stopped to consider how great a country
the- are living- in thesj figures may W
of interest. The man who fears that he
ould not elbow his way around in the
crowded west without uhafinjfthe napof
his coat sleeves may gather some solace
from the statement that the entire liv
ing population of the globe. l,4OO,bt0,
(MK) souls, ditided into families of five
persons each, could )e hx-atcd in Texas,
each family with a house on a half
acre lot, and there would still remain
50.000, 000 vacant family lots.
THE POWER OF WATER.
Constantly Working- In One Form or An.
other to lstroy the I. ami.
A southern engineer contributes an
article on "Geology and the Mississippi
Problem" to the Engineering Magazine.
In it he says:
"We find in water the only tireless
agent that works in the modification of
continents: anil instead of being1 the
great renovator of the land it is pop
ularly conceived, it is the great destroy
er. The destruction of ancient Koine
has been attributed to time. Hut it was
due simply to the moisture of the at
mosphere working through chemical
agencies. It was water, invisible
but penetrating the very stones of the
wonderful city, that caused her to
crumble into ruins, and gave to modern
Rome a grade gTeatly elevated above
her ancient grade. Hut it works not
alone in the cities and towns. There is
not a hill on earth that has not been
shorn of something of its altitude by
this subtile force, and there is not a
mountain on earth, if not fitfully re
newed by volcauic action, that has not
been compelled to lower its peak be
fore this universal leveler of the ex
alted. It may be a dreadful thought,
indeed, but we do not know absolutely
that we are not dependent on the earth
quake and the volcano for keeping; our
continental habitat above the level of
the ocean; for water not only destroys,
but it has the persistency and force to
carry off to its burial place in the sea
all that it has caused to perish. It may
take a long time at its task, but, work
ing either in its gas-ous, its liquid, or
its solid form, it seems to 1 the most
persistent thing on earth, never perish
ing, and, however divided and invisible
at times, always ready to unite its force
for a supreme effort at the degradation
of a continent."

"Where are you going, aunty?"
asked a conductor on one of the in
coming trains Saturday, of an elderly
lady passenger.
The lady looked at him indignantly
and the conductor stammered out;
"ou know that we always call elderly
ladies 'aunty' out here."
"If you do." said the lady, severely
'you are very ill bred and the railway
company ought to employ men who
know better."
The conductor retired in bad order
and it was the conviction of those who
heard the colloquy that he had been

Ilia t-iht In t-ul'l-
11 wis an ofiW 'V worthy f a
lilace among- h.-r.H-., alU-u hi-, lot vt as
fat in the uewspajK-r ..fri.-e..f a west
ern town, where enduring fame is
crowdetl to the wall, say the Detroit
Kree Tress. He oecu$.ied a place
at the f.iot of the e.litorial stairs, and it
was his duty to jrive warning to the
editor w hen an irate visitor came w ith
a fun to correct an item ajie;trinr in
the paper. With a polite kw and a
pratious smile he w as wont to inform
the visitor that ho would jro an.l .ee if
the editor was in. and then if the editor
concluded, from the boy's description of
the taller, that it was safe to see
him he was in; otherwise he crawled
into a fire-pnof afe in a ba. k nxui
and waited until the danger was pat.
One day a man came w ho was particu
larly uvrly. He was a lavyer-jliU'-ian
in the neighboring' tow n, and the editor
had not tittered the lanyuajre he u--d
in describinsr his moral turpitude.
"I want toseetlieedit r." he growled,
as he started upstairs.
"I'll see if h.? Is in. sir." smiled the
boy. innocently jrettinr in his way.
'Well, I puess not." exclaimed the
visitor, prabbinir him Iy the coat col
lar. ""I've heard how the chump has a
way of turninsr people down when h
doesn't want to see them and I won't
have it. Yon st-iy ri-rht where you are
and I'll attend to this business myelf."
And he slapped the lmy down hard in a
rickety chair.
The boy (rasped, but he didn't hse his
wits.
'That's all rijj'ht, mister." he said,
shoving a pad of p.ier and rx-ncd at
the man, '-but ln-fore you jro up them
stairs won't you please write out an
ante-mortem statement for use at the
coroner's inquest '.'"
The man stopped a moment in his
headlong career.
"It's a favor to me. sir," pleaded the
boy; "for the coroner jrives meailoll.tr
apiece for "em. ami the tivo orix a week
I pet barely supports uiy po..r sick
mother and me."' and he w iped his eyes
on his coat sleeve.
The liov's pathetic earnest nev affect
ed tne visitor visibly.
"I'm it-er " he hesitated, as he
starteii for the d.xir. "mi the whole. I
ITuess I'll postp-ne my visit until this
afternoon." and then he disappeared,
and the boy drew a lontr breath and
chuckled away down in his honest little
heart.
RIGHT HANDEDNESS.
No Kniwinc hrtbrr the PrrftTrnr. le
tlit KKult of Original ( uiMlitlon.
The causes of rig'ht-handedness have
(riven anatomists much material for
speculation, aud more than one i.-urious
thery lias lieen ad va need to account for
the fact that men habit uaily ue t he riirht
hand in preference to the left. Some
have attempted to explain the differ
ence on anab-uiL-al grounds, declaring
that the course of the artery to the rijflit
arm. Win; more direct frin the heart,
admits the blood in preater jiantity to
that meinlT. s, eoiulucin to its su
perior strength. This, however, is as
signing' a cause which, on el se examin
tion. seems inadequate, f'-r the causes
of phenomena have often a deeper
source than the mechanism of means.
In considering the subject the St. Loiii
(ilobe-I)emocrat thinks it should not
be forgotten that the preference for
the right hand is. save in exceptional
cases, universal: the accounts of trav
elers stating that right-handedness
is as general aiunn? savage nations
as among the civilized, a fact which
goes to indicae that there may
be some const it u tional tendency toward
the use of the right hand in preference
to the left. In thiseonncetion it should
not be forgotten that there is a marked
distinction between not only the right .
and loft hands, but also between the
two sides of the ldy. the right being
larger and stronger than the left, the
superiority extending even to vital
properties, as the left is more f retjiiently
attacked by such diseases as paralysis.
The right foot is almost as sti-rior t
the loft as the right hand, for in the
case of dancers, not only are the more
difficult feats of agility perform- i by
the right, but a double amount of train
ing is required to give the left fiot and
limb a degree of efficiency that will
prevent a contrast l-ing .seen by the
spectators. Few people walk evenly
and the greater strength of the right
side is the cause of persons lost in the
woods traveling in a circle, always
turning to the left. . These facts, with
many others that, may le cited, lead to
the conclusion that nature is the guide
in the more frequent use of the right
hand, but whether the present prefer
ence is the result of an original condi
tion or of henlitary training will al
ways be an open question.

The Toledo I'.lade tells of a conductor
on a western railroad who xis.-."ssed a
remarkable memory. An official of the
road who had doubted his alleged pow
ers was convinced by the follow ing feat:
Coming into his office one day the con
ductor said to him: "There is my train
hook. Along the line I have taken in
more th:;n one hundred passengers, arid
while you hold the In k I will tell you
the station at which every passenger
got on and olT. the class of ticket that
each one carried, the color of the ticket,
w hether Jhe passenger was male or fe
male and the destination of all the pas
sengers transferred." The list was
gone over and he did n't err in a single
instance. He then stated that he could
Oeserilte every oiieof those one hundred
passengers, giving the manner f dress,
color of eyes und hair and general ap
pearance, and could select the lot out of
an assemblage of thousands.

TaiM-r money dev-Upfl from the till
of excliaiigv or oertilicaUt of the
banks was ;rolally first iv.u-d by the
Italian bankers of the fourteenth cen
tury, savs the San Francisco Kaamirier.
iovemtiients founl it an eay way f
obtaining immey in timeiiol necessity,
bt-inir. in effect, a forced loan from the
people. l'ajer lills are promises to
pay, anl when the government ivues
them in exchange for supplies or serv
ice it has actually U.rrovvel just as
much fr.tu the man to whom it pays
them. It. however, allows him to pass
this note in payment of his debts, so in
stead f bt-inif a loan from him simrly
it is a han from the whole people. The
ease with which the notes may le is
sue.! has led many g-ovcruiuenta inU
iit.strous eMTimetit in time of w ar
or stress, the promises lcinjf issued in
such prof usion that they became of no
value. The continental currency issued
during the revolution by the American
coijo-ress, and the assiuats f the
French revolution may l- instanced.
1'ajH-r money deends for its value on
the ability of the authority that issues
it to give value for it when payment is
demanded. When the issue of the civil
war was in doubt the value of the
g-reenbaeks issued by the l'nited states
sank to one-third their face value, due
partly to a lack of confidence in the
proverniucnt aud due still more to the
certainty that payment of the notes
must le indefinitely pstliel. Even
when the w ar closed and there was no
loiip:er doubt f the troveruuicnt the
currency was depreciated for thirUs-u
years. The povernmcnt was in the -sit
ion of the man known to his u.-ih-lan-s
as -o-o.h1. but slow pay." His notes
pass at a dist-ount. The jrovernmcnt
was known to be "od f-r the amount,
and it was certain that it would m
ready to redeem its notes some day. but
that was not enough for th man wh.
wanted t use the money riiht away.
He thus passeil the notes at a discount.
The Value of paper money thus de-
letids at any jriven m ii-;it on the
promise of the poverument to redeem
it. If the promise will be met vvht-u tin
notes are presented thcV pass at their
fa-e value. If there is doubt o.i ll.i..
point the notes must pass at discount,
o-reater or less according to cir.-tiiu-t-tanees.
If thJre is nochance that they
will ever be paid they are Worth Uoth
inr at all. Aa the United Mates trov
erniueiit has t-tood r-aJy sim-e l"i-J to
redeem in pohi any notei as soon as
presenieil, its currency passe-s without
question as to its face value.

The visitor must leave his fan in the
ante-chamber, and, entering the re
ception room, seat himself resj--tfully
on his heels in front of the shrine. If
there are three kakemonos (pictures on
rollers), he must examine first the cen
ter one, then that to the left and lastly
the one (ill the rij.'ht haniL He then is
supposed to signify his opinion as to
the particular merits of the lloral
trophy. There are strict rules as to
the exact decree of admiration to le
expressed, aecordiny to the character
of the sjeeimeus. The Saturday lie
view says iiidiscrimiuatim g-ush is not
jH-rmitted in polite circles. The re
spectful inspection over and the proper
thiiiirs said, the host presents to his
jrtiest on a tray cut flowers and
braiK-hes. a knife, a scissors, a small
saw, a vase anil a napkin, at the same
time rolling up the kakemonos, "as it
is considered to be demanding- too
much of a visitor to expect him to ex
temporize a llower arrangement in har
mony," but the truest may face the ditii
culty and retain the unfamiliar back
ground. The master of the house now
offers one of his most precious vases
suitable to the season and the tlovers
anl the visitor pleads his inability to
do justice to so ttcautiful a receptacle,
but if pressed to make use of it he must
then take care that the arrangement is
simple and unobtrusive, so as not to
distract attention from the vase.
When completed the implements are
a.rain arranged on the tray, with the
txecption of the scissors, which are
l.-ft near the flowers as a silent and
nv di-st invitation to the master of the
hou- to correct faults." The host
swe.-jis up the rubbish and takes away
the tray. The other visitors, who have
meantime lx-cn waiting iu the ante
room, are uow admitted to pay the
proper compliment. liefore leaving
the artist, uuiesu a person of superior
rank, takes the flowers out of the vase;
"it is considered presumptuous of him
to quit without destroying the evidence
of his skill." Should the eutcrtaiuer by
iuadvertetice have supplied scented
flowers oil an occasion such as an in-c-nsc
meeting." when crtume is pro
hibited, the polite arliucer makes no
remark, but stiips off the blossoms,
leaving? only the unopened and scent
less buds. The flowers must not be
otTc red trimmed, or they miht look as
if they had Ut-u previously used.
