A portion of the American build ing in the Paris Exposition will oonUin en exhibit of American newspapers. The celery on a thirty-acre tract of peat land in Orange County, California, waa sold as it stood re cently for $.5000. Though only 14 years old, Emmet ftlenn, of Baltimore, ran away from home, enlisted in the Eleventh in fantry, and served in Porto Kice. One of the peculiarities of post office rule is that a postmaster can not accept postage stamps for pos tage due on letters at destination. The sales of Canadian apples in England have this season been dis appointing, owing to large supplies and the bad condition of fruit upon arrival. It is said that Joseph Pulitzer has, since July 1, been compelled to advance $200,000 to meet the deficit In the publication of the New York World. In Mexico everything and every body pays a direct tax, from the street porter to the larg'tBt mercan tile establishment, and the stamp for documents is equally lucrative As an instance of tho enormous. quantities of coal used on war ves sels, the trip of the British ship, Powerful, used 8,800 tons between England and China, the cost being $55,000. Next October the first deer legally killed in Vermont' for about 20 years will fall a victim to the hunt er's rifle. Such is the law passea at the last session of the Vermont stute legislature. A force of 800 blue jackets will be Bent to Manila to take charge of the three vessels added to the American navy by the wonderful skill of Admiral Dewey as a marks man and angler. A correspondent of the American Sheep Breeder says figures, as well as the experience of all concerned, go to show that, on an average, a sheep may be kept for no more ex pense than a hen. One-quarter of the people of New York have never been outside that city, and most of them think that' the region west of the Mississippi is virtually a wilderness or inhabited by semi-barbariaDS. It iB observed that the athletes in the Second Oregon succumbed more readily to evil climatic con ditions at Manila than the less de veloped volunteers physically. It was so in the oivil war. The widow of Brann has entered a suit against the JEtna Co. to re cover $5000 life insurance. Pay ment is refused by the company on the ground of contributory negli gence on the part of the iconoclast. Within thirty-five years the prioe of print paper has been reduced from 20 to 1 cents a pound, type setting from. 60 to 20 cents, and other expenses in about the same proportion ''and still we are not happy." While lightning may be seen and its illumination of olouds and mist may be recognized when it is even 200 miles distant, thunder is rarely audible more than tun miles. , The thunder from very distant Btorms, therefore, seldom readies the ear. It is reported that a great many cattlemen in Cassia County, Idaho, have so'.d their cattle and bought 'sheep. The grass has become too short there for cattle but sheep thrive on it.: The sheepmen lu that county have prospered during the past year. - . One million more hogs were re 3. ceived at the four leading western markets in 1898 than in 1807. Tbe fxporto of hog products have been immense during tbe past year and the foreign demand is likely to grow very rapidly until checked by an advance in price. The Minneapolis correspondent of the California Fruit Grower says there has been a fine trade there during the fall on all kinds of fruit, especially Pacific coast goods. Ap ples from Oregon, Washington, Cal ifornia and Idaho have sold readily and there has been no trouble in netting shippers $1 per box on first clasB apples. Tbe Massachusetts experiment station, after very thorough' tests of insecticides and fungioides, only recommends bordeaux mixture for fungus diseases, paris green for bit ing insects, kerosene emulsion for sap suckers, soap, salt- and sulphur washes for scales, and pyrethrum or insect powder and white hellebore for certain conditions. One suggestion made at a Mis souri woman's club, was that steps be taken to fit up a room in every country town where tbe farmers' wives, with their children, could rest while waiting for the menfolks to. transact their business. It is often tbe case that there is nowhere for the wives to wait while in town, except a grocery store, and a com fortable room with toilet conven iences, would certainly be a great boon. The condition of the U. S. Treas ury now mid one year ago furnishes in object lns-ion to the world of the .ilmos-l limitless financial reB0urc.es of this country. Most nations emerge from a war with their fi ounces in a more or less crippled con dilion. Not so with this country. We fought a victorious war, all on a cash basis, and we have a cash balance in our treasury of about $55,0110,000 more than we bad one year ago.' Here are the exact figures, which will arouse the envy of the richest nations cf the world. Cash balance on hand January 1, 1898, $235,47,769. Cash balance on hand January 1, 1899, $290,000. 000. Ilo Ilo, the second city of the Philippine islands, now in the hands of the insurgents, is situated on the island of Panay, some 250 miles southeast of Manila. Ad uairal Dewey and General Otis are send ing a force there to compel the in surgent8 to recognize the authority of the United States. Panay ha: an area of 4800 square miles. There is no estimate to the number of in habitants on which dependence can be placed; but they may exceed half a million. . Sugar is the main industry. The business interests of Ilo Ilo are almost entirely in the hands of English and German firms Exports of sugar exceed those of Manila, and the whole town smells of it. The town lies close to the seashore, but is reached by means of a sluggish creek, which has been dredged out until it will admit the island steamers. Large vessels must lie in the channel outside, where there is good anchorage. The chan nel between Panay and the next island is five to eight miles wide. Ilo Ilo is built on low ground, muoh of which is filled swamp land. It is not an attractive place. V Fee to Teachers and Scholars. In 1897 we had thousands of requests from tesohers and scholars for Wonderland U7. The edition a large onewas exhausted long be fore the end of tho yoar. Wonderland '98 can not only bo supplied to thosu unAble to seoure the formr-r Imi ulso to oUki-s. it Is entirely different however, from the first named book.
