FIGURES OF INTEREST. Mtlhall estimates that the civilized nations pay annually SIS.Tou.OOO.UOO for food. According to a statement lately put forward at the Londou Mansion house, the city of London drinks every year 45.000.UOO gallons of malt liquor. S.000. Dot) gallons of wine and 4.500,000 pal Ions of spirits. There was in 1SU0 among- the males in Massachusetts, a population of 1. O.TOD, while the female population was l.l.M.i4. This gives as an excess of females at that time 69,525. In 1---5 the excess of women over men was 76, S73. . A Texas statistician announces that the population of the world, estimated at 1.400.000.000, if divided in families of five, could be accommodated in Texas, each family with a five-acre lot. He ears there would be 50.000.000 lots left over for parks and public buildings. Costrakv to the general belief that Ireland leads the world in its fondness for "praties," statistics show that the people of Germany and Belgium are the greatest potatueaters: the consump tion in these countries annually ex ceeds 1,000 pounds per head of popula tion. ) A SMALL FAVOR."

The Pay Company's railroad, which will be about two miles in length, is remarka ble for its heavy grade and sharp curves. The grade in many places is 6 per cent. One heavy or two light cars are all the empty fiats the engine can pull up the hill with. They are loaded with 13 to 20 tons of rock, weighing from five to ten tons each, taken down the hill, one or two at a time, until a full train iB made up, when they are taken to the locks, tao miles west of the spur, over the Union Pacific road. Work. at the locks is progressing very favorably, considering the many stumbling-blocks placed in the way of the contractors through the general financial depression.

Beqnect Put Duel. Although it is a familiar saying that an Irishman is always spoiling for a fight, still there is one kind of fighting to which even the brave sons of Erin are sometimes averse. This is dueling. A story well illustrating this fact has recently come to us. ' A certain Irishman, having been challenged to fight a duel, accepted the conditions after much persuasion on the part of his friends, who felt . confident of his success. His antap-' onist, a lame man, walked on crutches. : "When the place for the shooting had ' been reached the lame man's seconds asked that he be allowed to lean against a milestone which happened to i stand there. The privilege was al-1 lowed, and the lame man took his ! rrtand.. The Irishman and his seconds drew off to the distance agreed upon, one I hundred feet. Iiere Pat's courage sud- j tie nly failed him and he shouted to the lajne man: I "I've a small favor to ask of ye, sor!" "What is it?" asked the cripple. Pat answered: "I tould ye thot ye might lean ag'in the milepost, and now I would like the privilege of lean in' ag'in the nixt one." The laugh that followed spoiled everybody's desire for a fight, and the whole party went home without a shot having been fired. Youth's Companion. bottom.
