That Americans love to do all things on
large scnlo appears to bo the natural
consequence of living in so vast a coun
try, and being surrounded by suchhirgo
influences and interests. Hut to those
who are not yet accustomed to their
manner of work, its minuteness and ac
curacy are a source of equal wonder. It
is like looking alternately through the
largo and small ends of opera-glasses. A
British work just issued contains the
names of 84,000 newspapers, magazines
and quarterlies, published in every em
pire, kingdom, nation, province and
island of the globe, with much curious
information regarding them, and many
other matters. The first volume is filled
with the 11,207 newspapers and periodi
cals of the United States and l2t of
British North America. The second
is devoted to all the rest of tho world,
and very curious lights are thus thrown
on the characteristics of various nations.
IIow the grand total is distributed
over the earth, and the number
of copies per annum in propor
tion to each inhabitant, is shown below :

Hence we perceive that Europe still
keeps precedence numerically, though, in
riew of the proportion to population,
North America and Australasia have far
outstripped the Old World, notwith
standing the vast extent of territory over
which they are scattered. Europe and
North America combined are shown to
have an area of only one-fourth of the
habitable globe, and one fourth of its
population, yet they produce considerably
more than nine tenths (93.23 per cent.)
of all publications in existence.
IIow tho proportion per head is ar
rived at does not appear, inasmuch as a
' certain number of English publishers re
fuse to make known their circulation.
These, however, are tut a very limited
number, so are not supposed largely to
affect the total. A free calculation
shows that, including dailies, weeklies
and monthlies, the presses of America
annually issue nearly 2,800,000,000 cop
ies per annum a ceaseless shower of
literary snowftakes forever floating around
each remote centre of Anglo-Saxon life.
Australasia annually distributes upward
of 112,000,000 copies of her home-printed
papers, while the annual production.of
Europe runs up to 7,300,000,000 copies
mingled snowers ot every conceivable
quality, good, bad, indifferent, every
shade of opinion, and on every topic un
der heaven.
A further calculation shows Great
Britain to be the country best supplied
with newspapers, while Belgium ranks
next and the United States third. The
ratio of copies yearly distributable to
each person in these three nations is as
follows: Great Britain, 04.01; Belgium,
69.20; the States, 51.00.
But while the total number of British
publications does not exceed 4,082, the
German Empire produces 5,529 periodi
cals of all sorts, and thus ranks next to
the United States in tho variety ol litera
ture she provides. It is considered
somewhat remarkable that, in a land so
eminent for scholarship there should be
so small a proportion of monthly and
quarterly magazines no: more than five
per cent, of the grand total.
London, as might be expected with
its population of 4,000,000, takes prece
dence of all other great cities in its list
of publications, which very nearly ap
proaches 2,000. These have an annual
circulation of about 1,017,000,000 copies.
Tho mere list of their names occupies
seventy-three pages of fine pages in this
great directory, and looking over them
one feels positively bewildered to think
of all the enormous amount of incessant
quill-driving and editing involved by the
never-ending requirements of so vast a
multitude of publications.
But while London shows a longer cata
logue than any other city, l Paris, with a
population of less than 2,000,000, issues
1,553 periodicals, and these have an
annual circulation of about 1,100,000,000
' copies; so that, in point of fact, the citi
zens of Paris are far more liberally sup
plied with daily or weekly literary pro
vender than their British neighbors. In
fact, it is estimated that the journalistic
products of Paris amount annually to al
most one-tenth of the issue of the entire
press of the globe.
New York and Brooklyn have a com
bined population nearly equal, to that of
Paris. They produce 587 publications,
with an annual circulation of about 516,
008,000; Berlin produces 530; Vienna,
483; Madrid, 253; Brussels, 233; Borne,
213, showing a gradual diminution till
we reach St. Petersburg, with a popula
tion of 607,903, and a newspaper issue
Slumbering 183, and Moscow, with a
population of 001,909, and only fifty
seven periodicals.
Taking the nationality of tho 34,000
papers of the world, we find that close
upon 32,000 are published in Europo and
North America, leaving little over 2,0u0
for all the rest of the world 1 South
America only issues a sullicieut number
to allow each of its inhabitants three
newspapers a year exhibiting the curi
ous contrast in this, as in all else, be
tween the great Northern and Southern
continents.
The combined annual product of Asia
and Africa amounts to 227,000,000,
which, in proportion to the population,
would allow one copy in ten years for
each person, (if course the newspaper
circulation of Africa is coutined to the ex
treme north and south, with a very fee
ble commencement on the west coast.
In like manner Asia hus neither supply
nor demand except in parts of Turkey,
Persia, China and Japan. Not a news
paper of any sort is to be found in Ara
bia, Afghanistan, Be!ooehi.-tan or Turk
estan. The Chinese empire produces only
twenty-two periodicals, of which twelve
are in Chinese, nine in English and one
in Trench. Even of this small number
the circulation is extraordinarily small,
and as rule, a newspaper maybe said
to be a thing unknown to the 400,000,
000 inhabitants of tho Celestial empire.
With three exceptions, all China's
very limited newspaper-list are published VALLEY OF THE Y0SEMITE.
at four of the treaty ports, open to for-
eigners. Shanghai has given birth to
fifieen Ningpo, Foochow and Amoy are
answerablo for tho others. Of the three
exceptions, two are published at Han
kow. 700 miles from tho mouth of the
great river, Yang-tsi-Kiang a water-way
which, by opening communication with
the sca-ports, has perhaps tended to in
troduce this ephemeral literature. Even
Canton, with its popul.it ion of 1,500,000,
has not one publication of any sort. The
third exception, and solo newspaper of
vast Northern China, lathe Pekin Curette,
a purely ollicial publication, containing
only imperial edicts and ollicial informa
tion. In strange contrast with this terribly
conservative old nation, which will not
assimilate any new ideas from the outer
world, and which cares nothing for any
history more recent than that of Confu
cius, stands the ultra-progressive empire
of Japan. In nothing is this readiness
more apparent than in the rapid develop
ment of a wide-spread system of news
paper, of which upwards of 250 are now
produced by tho native press, and circu
late freely among the masses. The news
paper shops in all tho principal native
cities are invariably crowded with eager
purchasers, thirsting for the latest news
of all sorts.
In the year 1622 papers and periodicals
first began to circulate in London. The
first was called " Weekely Nevre from
Italy, Germany, IlcNQAKlA BoIIEmia,
the Palatinate, France, and the Low
Countries, Translated out of tho Low
Dutch Copie and sold at Nicholas
Bourne's shop in Pope's-head Pallaco."
This is apparently the fac-simile of a
rudely carved wood block, and is the
size of an average magazine. Next in
chronology comes a "Kkcteix dks
Gazettes de l'annee 1631," adorned
with tho royal arms. This is a fac
simile of the first number of La QazeUt
de France, which continues to run its
course. Very quaint indeed is the title
page of The Reading Mercury, or Weekly
Entertainer, as it appeared in 1725 a
weekly issue of eight pages, also the size
of an average magazine, with frontis
piece suggestive of Albert Duter, show
ing a rude sketch of Beading in tho
background, with allegorical figures in
the foreground and in the clouds.
Next we find a group of early Ameri
can papers, published at Boston and at
Baltimore between the years 1704 and
1775; 1704 was tho year in which the
very first newspaper issued by the Amer
ican press was printed at Boston. Then
comes a full-page reproduction of The
Times, or Universal Register, as printed in
London in 1778 a curious sample of an
advertisement sheet one hundred years
ago.
The very first example of anything of
an advertising nature is found in a
curious old German news-pamphlet pre
served in the British museum and printed
in 1591. JSeu York alar.
HEALTH HINTS.
Use plain, well cooked food. Avoid
highly seasoned dishes and all pastry.
For a sore chest, apply upon retiring,
hops saturated with vinegar, till relieved.
Keep your rooms well ventilated.
Don't be afraid of the night air. It
is health giving.
Take plenty of sleep, not less than
seven hours. Dave a regular time for
retiring and a regular time lor rising.
Injections of a one per centum solution
of carbolic acid into the affected tissues
are now in use in Canada as a remedy for
the pains of acute rheumatism. The
process is attended with little pain,
momentary stinging sensation being the
main inconvenience, and great relief is
said to follow in a few minutes.
To disinfect a room, place an ordinary
house shovel over the fire until it be
comes thoroughly hot (but not red hot) ;
then take it to the center of the room
and pour on the shovel an ounce of No,
4 or No. 5 carbolic; lean the shovel so
that no fluid can fall to the floor, and
tho carb :c will be readily given off in
vapor Buthcicnt to nil an ordinary room,
t his will disiutect the air ot the room.
and as genuine carbolic (more properly
called phenol or phenvlic alcohol) is not
a mineral corrosive acid, the vapor will
in no way injure pictures, metals or
fabrics. Health and ilovie.

"When Doctor Johnson wrote of that
Happy Valley of Amhara, in which Ras
solas, "the Prince of Abyssinia, and his
sister. Nekavah "lived only to know tho
! soft vicissitudes of pleasure and repose,"
he must have been grunted a mental vis
ion of tho great Yoscmito of California,
i Tho pellucid lake, teeming with aquatic
j life, and the silvery stream which
I coursed through tho valley, could not
' have been more enchanting than tho
j watery mirror which mingles the ro
fleeted pictures of the lloecy clouds
! floating above and tho towering rocky
domes about which they hover, or the
dashing Merced, bearing to the oceau
the icy waters from the eternal glaciers
of the mountain summits; nor did they,
in their efforts to escape from this pleas
ure prison to search the world for the
true source of happiness, encounter more
unscalcablo clilTs or loftier walls of rock
than thoso which encircle this valley in
the heart of the Sierras. Tho Indians,
whose depredations upon the miners in
I860 led to the discovery of the valley,
whither they had fled from the wrath
of the avenging Americans, called them
selves "Yo-Scmite," and this name was
bestowed upon tho valley, though it was
afterward learned that the proper In
dian namo was "Ah-wa-ne." As the
natives speak the word it is "Yo-ham-i-te,"
but tho accepted pronounciatiou
among tho peoplo of California is Yo-sem-i-te."
The Yosemite Valley lies on tho head
waters of the Merced river, in tho very
heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
It is eicht miles lonrr. anil vnrins from
one-hall to a mile in width, containing I
about 8,480 acres of grouud. It is 3,950
feet above the level of tho sea, and is
surrounded by an almost unbroken wall
of granite rock rising above it to a height
varying from 2,500 to 3,300 feet, and
overlooked by mountain peaks which
pierce the clouds 10,000 feet above tho
sea level. The scene which opens out
before the traveler's eye at many points,
while descending tho tortuous trail, is
ono whose rejection can never grow dim
on the glass of memory. Though not as
grand a view as is ollered lrom many
points in the valley itself, yet being the
Brst revelation of tho wonders Nature
has hidden in thoso mountain wilds, the
impression made is tho most vivid and
enduring. In one sweep the eye encom
passes a large portion of the valley,
taking in the lofty granite walls, tho
guardian domes of rock, and the numer
ous waterfalls pouring over tho canyon's
edge and plunging down hundreds, and
tven thousands, of feet to form the Mer
ced river, the crystal stream which mean

It may be they exaggerate somewhat
in the Idaho press, but a couple of items
from our exchanges, if taken with a
grain of salt, would seem to indicate ex
tremes of heat and cold out there. The
Virginia L'ntcrjiri.te says:
On tho sand plains down by Hawthorne
it is so hot that mercury boils in the
thermometer unless the bulb is kept
wrapped in wet sponge. A dipper of
water thrown up into the air evaporates
l efore reaching the ground. The only
living creatures seen about Walker lake
are the pelicans, and in flying from one
shore to the other during the middle of
the day they are obliged to descend two
or thiue times and fill their pouches with
water. The sand at tho bottom of the
lake gets bo hot during the day that
bathers going into the water of evenings
are obliged to wear boots to prevent
burning their feet. The Homer Index
says: Snow banks are still plentiful near
town, on the slopes of Mounts Gilcrest,
Scowden, Haverly and Homer, on the
southerly side of Mill Creek canyon and
on Mount Hector, north of town; while
on the west, circling the head of the
canyon, large, unbroken fields of snow
loom up against the sky ou McCllntock
peak, Mount Bill Williams and the Sea
Lions.
How the Chinese Get Rid of Lepers.
The Chinese leper that temporarily es
caped from custody while his nineteen
companions were being shipped aboard
the Oceanic ou Thursday was observed
hidden under a building and placed on
board the bteamer before she sailed. It
is anticipated that this last band of
twenty pests will meet the same fate as
the lepers shipped to China about two
years ago. These latter unfortunates
were placed on a barge to be conveyed to
the leper colony in Canton, but one morn
ing they were all fcund to be dead. The
Chinese government reported that the
food nerved them had been poisoned by
being cooked in a copper kettle, but
others openly expressed a belief that the
lepers had been iutentionally poisoned to
relieve them of their misery. an Fran

Dr. N. B. Richardson, of London, tho
noted physician, says ho was recently able
to convey a considerable amount of con
viction to an intelligent scholar by a sim
ple experiment. The scholar was sing
ing the praises of tho ruddy bumper, and
saying ne could get through tho day
without it, when Lr. Richardson said to
him:
"Will you bo good enough to feel my
pulse as I stand here ?"
"He did so. I said: "Count it care
fully; what does it say f"
"Your pulse says seventy-four."
I then sat down in a chair and asked
him to count it again. He did so, and
said: "Your pulse has gono down to
seventy."
I then lay down on tho lounge, and
laid : "Will you take it again V
He replied: "Why, it's only sixty-four;
what an extraordinary thing!"
I then said : "When you lio down at
night, that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that beating organ is resting to that
extent: and if you reckon it up it is a
great deal of rest, because in lying down
the heart is doing ten strokes less a min
ute. Multiply that by sixty, and it is
600; multiply it by eight hours, and
within a fraction it is 5,000 strokes dif
ferent; and as the heart is throwing six
ounces of blood at every stroke, it makes
a difference of 80,000 ounces of lifting
during the night.
When I lie down at night, without
any alcohol, that is tho rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wino or
grog, you do not allow that rest, for the
Influence of alcohol is to increase tho
number of strokes, and instead of getting
this rest, you put on something liko 13,
000 extra strokes, and the result is you
rise up very seedy and unlit for tho next
day's work till you have taken a little
more of the 'ruddy bumper,' which you
say is the soul of man below."

are the records oi some of the cures of con
sumption ett'octed by that most wonderful
remedy Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Dis
covery." Thousands of grateful men and
women, who have been snatched almost from
the very jaws of death, can testify that con
sumption, in its early stages, is no longer in
curable. The Discovery has no equal as a pec
toral and alterative, and the mott obstinate
affections of the throat and lungs yield to its
power. All druggists

The best test of a human life is the amount
of good it has been and done to others. Mrs.

honor among those who have helped to
change sickness into health, and to trans
form the darkness of suffering into the sun
shine of rest and hope.
