Ths Wales of New York and New Jersey are largo manufacturing States, ths Talus of manufactures In these two States being In 1880, l.35.07.e32, with 33.248,000 acres area worth as much money in 1880 as 494,387.200 acres of laud In twelve Southern States, alt attributed to ths fact that nearly one-tlfthot ths manufactures of ths United State are In these two Northern States, whilo In 1880 In the twelve Southern States the manufactures wort very small. '1 he aggregate wealth of the United States In 1850 was 17,420,000.000, with 2.1,1!2.000 population, agivltist 1880, t5.385,(XK),000 aggrvgiite wealth mors than Ureat ilrltatu the mpul. tlon numbering 60,138,000.

THE BANC. It Is Nuw Cflebrntlug Ilia Klghlve-nlh Year ut Ha Kvlin. Probaklr no fashion or funey hu taken so firm a hold on I lie feminine portion of the population a litis the bang, whitsV is uow rclcbratliig the eighuenth year of Its reign, says the N. IT. Truli. In the face of ridicule and criticism It has held Its own since 1871, when in soma Inexplicable uui ner It made its apcarmica upon certain fashionable brows. Iu a short time all classes had adopted the white fringe.as it was then styled br the newsnaiKTs. The general sdnptiblllty to almont any tvtMJ of race accounts tor its popularity ami although decried and caricatured It has never lot lis hold upon the icumie heart, first came tlie serereiy straight fringe across the forelicad, bu coming to so few maitlent. Then the curled bang was Introduced, not to take its place, but to sharo its popular ity. Aioutague bangs came next, wttn their suggestion of soap, water, and bandoline. Then the "Langtry." In troduced by the Jorsey Lily, necessitat ed a sacriiico ot an tno long Iwks on the crown of the head, whereas hereto fore only s short fringe had lccn worn on the forehead. The Rusaian hangs, short and sharp-pointed, vied with the saucer-shaped until Mrs. Cleveland changed tho entire complexion of events by wearing the pompadour bang, made so popular by tho tlrst of her photographs, which were sent broad cast over the land. Girls with broad, clear foreheads at once brushed back thoir hair, retaining only the soft rings of hair on 'the side, a la Cleveland. Now that the fair young mistress of the white hmise ha been deposed some thing new in the hair-drclng line lias been brought Into fashion, it is hero, and evidently here to slay. If you should lmpH'ii to meet a girl on the fashionable thoroughfare with a cir cular patch on her forehead think not she has been wounded iu a pugilisliu encounter, or if sho h a brtuiet that she is currying a small stove-lid direct ly over the hridgo of her nose, but re member thut this is the very latest fad iu bangs. Mothers In Flctlou. Here is an old reflection from ths Atluntio Monthly.' "No mothers In Mo tion A sick youth was lying In bed, watching with quiet eyes his mother's form moving gently about the room whore for weeks she hud been minis tering to him witb the tunderost heart and hands. There had been stillness for a little whilo, when the boy spoke: 'I wouder why thore are no mothers In fiction.' 'Why, thoro, dearj there must bo,' the mother answered, quickly; but when sho tried to name one she found that none came to nail. When she re lated to me tho lltllo Incident I, too, immediately said that our memory must be strangely at fault that It did not furnish us with examples in plenty. Maternal lovoP Why, art was tilled with illustrations of It, and so was lit erature And yet on making search 1, fy, have failed to find tno typical mother where it seems she would" Lo so easily !'und. I have no largo ao rjiiaiiitsuco with tho imaginative litera ture of any language but our own, and the fiction of oilier countries may af ford examples in this kind of which I know nothing. But, rccalllnathe work of our own finest and best known writ ers, their treatment of the subject ap pears both scant and slight. Calling the roll of them from I'luhUmr and Scott to Iiawthono and Hardy, it strikes one as singular that they all omitted to delineate with any peculiar force and boauty a human typo which suggests itself so naturally as full of opportuultv for artistic representation."

In looking un the peculiar names given each of the twelve month of ths year it becomes necessary for u to go back to tho old Romans, who have Im posed upon us a sot of names equally as absurd as those ot tho Norsemen, ths Scandinavians, sod Saxons applied to ths week, as given under that head ing above. January Is named from Janus, and god of doors aud gules, be cause the month 0mns the year: some soy that he was a two-faced god and could look back on the ,'lnat year and forward to ths coming. February Is from jlruo, to purify. March was originally the tlrst mouth aud was named fur Mars, the god of war. April Is from ajtrrirt, to 0ain, be ciiuxe the buds oii In that mouth. May Is from Mala, a goddess. ' June is from Juno, the patron of marriage, and is. therefore, the faror Un mouth tor weddings. July was named for Julius Csssar, sad August for Augustus Cteaar. Or iginally August had but thirty days aud February twenty-nine Iu the com mon year aud thirty In leap year. Augustus was jealous that Julius' mouth should have more days than bis own, therefore took one from February aud added it to August. Hepiemlair, October, Nnvemlicr, and Ih'ocutber are so called became they were originally the seventh, eighth, ninth aud tuiuli mouth of the year. The name arc Inappropriate aud rank misnomer as now applied. To Ilcwlloh Men's ftenacs. It t said that no pretty feminine ar titles more augment woman's wllcliery over man Ihsa ths subtle faint fra grance which she contrive to Impart to the fluttering folds uf her gowns and belonging. This 1 not produced by empty ing a pint uf triple extract on handkerchief after the manner of men, but of sundry dainty devices sod com binations of odor which each woman Invents for herself, and which make possible a certain Individuality In per fu mo so marked that 'an oWrrliiji lover 1 sware of hi laity's pres ence by ths atmosphere, snd can select her handkerchief from a doen others by Its odor. Some luxuriant women bntbs in perfumed toilet water, a I Mrs. Putter, whose bath of violet tincture, supplemented by quantities ol violet powder, made the fragrance ol her favorite flower continually emanate from her presence. Another pretty fancy with ladle Is to tie up sweet grasses, clover, and rose leaves In lit tle silken bags and place them, between the fold of their wearing apparel. Sprigs of lavender snd sweet verbvns folded In their lingerie, after the fash Ion of their grandmother, and an an cient recl for lavender bags, handed down from some dear dead dafnty belle, Is regaining popular favor.

HI special training must be revamped to suit changed conditions. So both parents aud teacher work, to a dogroe blind ly. Yet we try to forecast probabili ties, snd are not deterred from trying by oocaslon miscarriages. In plaoe of ths usual monthly exam ination In geography, history, or gram mar, have each pupil bring one or more questions, aooordlng to the size of the olass, Plaoe t lies in a box, and have each pupil draw one and give an impromptu answer. The class ia to pas judgment as to whether the an swer Is right or wrong. If wrong, the question should be replaced in the box and the whole shuffled. Each pupil should have the privilege of drawing till he finds a question he can answer. No record 1 to be kept of such exer cise, but it give the teacher a ohanoe to study the pupils uuder now condi tions, give tlie class a chance to "size op" their mate, and gives W" Jty for reciting under uoiwusl clreum- stance. .
