England is said to have one cow to 8 persons; France, one cow to 3 1 persons; America, one cow to 2 persons; Vermont, one cow to 1 persons. . ' The department of agriculture calls atleution to the fact that this country imports $20,000,000 worth ot fruit annually. Lemons, oranges, plums, prunes, and raisins are the iruits most largely imported.: A hotel guest at the Thousand Islands asked the colored waiter what game he liked best, and re ceived the reply: "Almost any kind of game'll suit me, but what I like best is an American eagle served on a silver dollar." And he got it. The question is asked, what is the difference between worsted cloth and woolen cloth? The an swer is: Worsted . goods are composed of wool that has been carded and combed, while woolen goods are made of wool that has been carded but not combed. The cultivation of the cork tree i?j being urged by a number of Call forma papers. The wine in dustry in that state causes the ex penditure of millions of dollars for cork each year, and it is claimed that these corks can all be raised and prepared for use at home. ; ." The area of growing corn in America this season is placed at 77,000,000 acres. The crop, it is estimated, will be about 2,000,000, 000 bushels,- which will bring at home $800,000,000.

Of the Cure of Skin Diseases when all other Methods fail. Psoriasis 5 years, covering fate, head and entire body with white scabs. Sir.in red, itchy, ami bleeding. Hair ..all goue. .. Speut hundreds of dollars. Pronounced incurable. Cured by Cuticura .Remedies. My disease (psoriasis) first broke out. on n.y left cheek, spreading . across my uosc, and almost covering my face. It ran into lny eyes, and the physician was afraid I would " lose my eyenight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my hair all fell out, until I was entirely bald-headed; it then broke out ou my arms and shoulders, until my aims were just oue sore. It cover ed ioy entira body, my face, head and shoulders being the worst. The white scubs fell constantly from my head, should ers and arms; the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, aud would crack and bleed if scratched. After spending many lien Ireds of dollars, I was pronounced in curable. I heard of the Cuticura Kemr iies, and after using two bottles Cuticura .Resolvent, I couid see a change; and after I had taken four bottles, I was almost cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticuka Resolvent aud one box of Cuti cura, and one cake of Cuticura Soap, I was cured of the dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. I thought the disease would leave a very deep scar, but the Cuticura Remedies cured it without any scars. I cannot ex press with a pen what I suffered before using the Cuticura Remedies. They saved my life, and I feei it my duty to reccom men I them. My hair is restored as good as ever, and so is my eyesight.

' "v ' "Shall I give your love to your mother?" He said to the maid of three, For her mother had gone to a country , Where presently he should be. ,. What c-dm in her eyes of azure, What snow ou the innocent brow, : How sweet was that voice of slow music "My mother has my love now!" Harriet Spofford. Ilis-Midnight Visitor. Ayosng man whose home is in Chicago, and who has been in Denver only a little more tlufn a week, had an experience in the Pullman sleeper between Kansas Gity and this point which he will not soon forget, says the Denver Times, "interesting and novej as it was, he does not care for a repe tition of the adventure. At about 12 o'clock of the first night out from Kansas City the hour when the most uncanny things are wont to happen the young man' was awakened in his berth by a pressure on his feet, and he saw sitting at the foot of his bed and dressed for the night in a spotless white garment, with insertings and ruffles and things foreign to the midnight makeup of male humanity, the form of a girl or young woman, whose features he could not ; distinguish in the dim, if not religious light. While the young man is not susceptible to shocks so far as the " foibles of women are involved, he was some what astounded, and lay still "for a few minutes wondering what to do under the circumstances. Present ly he loundhis wits and voice." . "Are you comfortable?" he ask ed, in his softest tones. , "I'm quite comfortable," was the calm, unruffled reply. The passive assurance of the woman in white interfered some what with the young man's line of thought and conjecture, but he was not long in formulating a sec ond attack. ".Wouldn't you prefer a seat at the head of the bed?" he- asked. "No, I thank you," was the re sponse; "I'm very comfortable here." ' '.- - .-V v "Perhaps you would like a pil low?" he suggested, offering her one of the two upon which his head had been resting. By this time the young man was thoroughly satisfied that the wo man was young and pretty, if not unsophisticated, so when she ad justed the pillow between . her head and the iootboard of , the berth the temporary owner of the premises Was more pleased than pained. Partly m deference to what he thought was the impene trable impudence of his ghostly visitor, partly in a spirit of fun, and partly on account of the proverbial meagerness of the sleeping-car pillow, the young man held out the other feather cushion, saying: : . r- ; V "Won't you take the other oue?" Yes, she would and did,' placing it with its companion piece and snugly nestling her head upon the pair. - All this time the visitor had sat upon the edge of the berth, her feet resting on the floor of the aisle, her head and shoulders aga'nst the footboard. The con versation which tho young; man had indulged in was in pianissimo tones, that he should disturb no other occupants of the car. v The replies of his unexpected caller had been less guarded in volume. In fact, -they might have " been heard a good many feet away had there been any wakeful ear within the distance named. As the creature in white lay con Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. tentedly back upon the pillows, her hands crossed and her breath coming and . going with what seemed to be measured regularity, tempus did not fugit very fast for her berth mate. He hardly knew what to do in the face of such in difference under ' 6uch circum stances, but collected his wander ing thoughts and asked her again if she was comfortable. "Perfectly comfortable," she said. He sat up in the bunk. She didn't move. He put his feet in the aisle and sat on the edgeof the bunk close beside her. She paid no attention to him, when a parting of the cur tains let a ray of light fall on , her face. The eyes were stonily gazing at nothing, and not a feature of the countenance betrayed the slightest evidence of. consciousness. The face was prettv and innocent that of a pure minded girl be tween sixteen and twenty years of age. It was plain that she , slept, that she was a somnambulist and that she had no knowledge of her whereabouts nor of her words or deeds. ... The young man tried by talking to her to find out how she had come to his bunk, but could get no intelligible replies ' other than that her sister and herself were traveling to Salidas, where they intended visiting some friends, and, moreover, her tones were loud- . , . Worst of all, the train came to a stand -still while he . was en deavoring to make her tell where she belonged. The situation was increasingly embarrasing. Sup pose the irl had a father or big brother on board and that relative should find her in the strange young man's berth. Odds zounds! Suppose the girl should suddenly recover consciousness and should scream, as only a young woman similarly placed might be expectedi to'scream. CaasarV. ghost! The young man would not find a friend or believer on the train. The hero of the tale restored the maiden to her restful position on the pillows, dressed himself partly, and went in search of the porter. That functionary was sound asleep. He was told that there was a som nambulist on board. The porter could not make out what a som nambulist might be, so he called the conductor. The last named heard the youug - man's briefly narrated ' story, and accompanied him and the grinning porter to the berth. There was no sleeping beauty anywhere . visible. The berth was empty. With many mental reservations as to the con dition of mind and body in, which the young man had retired the evening before, the conductor con sented to waken two young ladies who were occupants of the car. Only one of those young ladies could be found. The young man had not been dreaming. .The sister who was found was . greatly dis turbed. She readily admitted that her younger sister was known- to walk in her sleep. ""The car was carefully searched and in an unas signed berth at one end of the coach the girl was found snugly curled up and sleeping as sweetly as a babe." The task of leading her back to her own berth did not awaken her, and when she opened her eyes to the morning light those beautiful windows of the soul gave no sign, that the owner of their tenament knew, what the night had brought forth. No one told her of her strange adventure, and possibly no - one " ever will. She might have wondered why the young man who had been so ob servant prior to the momentous Jnight did not so much as look at her again during the . journey. The young man himself did not wonder. CHINESE IMMIGRATION. The treasury department at Washington has made a report on the number of aliens and emi grants who came to this country during the period beginning with the year 1888. . Copies of the re port have been furnished the col lectors at each port, and from it the following figures are taken, showing the number of Chinamen who came to the United . States during this time: During the period beginning with the year 1820 and ending in 1831, 2 Chinese landed; from 1831 to 1842, 14; from 1843 to 1853, 29; from 1853 to 1862, the arrivals were as follows: 1853, 42; 1854, 13,100; 1855, 3,526; 1856, 4,733; 1857, 5,944; 1858, 5,128; 1859. 3,457; 1860, 5,767; 1861, 5,418; 1862, 3,633. During the next decade there were 74,581 arrivals, making the total number of Chinese Who landed in the United States between the years 1820 and 1873, 201,055. Beginning with the year 1S73, the arrivals were as follows: 1873, 18,154; 1874, 16,651; 1875, 19,033; 1876,16,878; 1877, 10,397; 1878, 7,468; 1879, 9,180; 1880, 7,011; 1881, 20,711; 1882, 35,614, (this year the "restriction act was passed); 1883, 381; 1884, 84; 1885, 57; 1886, 8; 18S7, 28; 1888, 1. Total arrivals from 1820 to 1888 361,693. .. TIPPING THE HAT. The custom of lifting the . hat had its origin during the age of chivalry, when it . was customary lot knights . never to appear in public unless in full armor. It became a custom, however, for a knight upon entering an asembiy of friends, to remove his helmet, signifying: "'I am safe in the pres ence of my friends." The age of chivalry passed away with the fifteenth century, but among the many acts of courtesy which can be traced back to its influence, none is more direct in its origin than that of lifting the hat to ac knowledge the presence of a friend. A distinguished lawyer of Brook lyn says: "Not long ago- I was talking with Mr. Blaine , about Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, whom we both greatly admire for his won derful talents. I made the re mark that it was my belief that CoL Ingersoll would ultimately renounce his agnosticism. Mr. Blaine said: 'I think so too, and I shouldn't be surprised to see him some day in the pulpit." The census is taken in China in a curious manner. (Everyyear the oldest master of every ten houses has to count the families, and has to make a list, which is sent to the imperial tax house. Last year the whole number amounted to 879, 383,500 inhabitants. These figures make the population of the country much greater than has hitherto been estimated. They are proba bly incorrect. . They get at the real value of a cow in Sussex county, N. J., -by selling her at so much a quart. The scheme is pronounced by dairymen as the most equitable yet proposed in the sale of milch .cows. The purchaser pays $2.50 per quart. , Thus if she gives twenty quarts daily, she is worth $50 The purchaser keeps the cow ori trial for a week.

It helped them imme diately, and they were soon as well as ever, and I consider it very largely duo to the Food that they are now go well." Lactated Food is the best Food for bottle-fed babies.
