At New York 50,000 persons
walk the streets at nignt for want
of a home, and as many more are
not sure of their breakfast.
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. One-eighti-e.lh
of this vast amount will be
sufficient to supply the wants of
the people, leaving the remainder
for export. V
STARTLING EVIDENCES.

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. I know of
a number ot different persone who have
used the Cuticura Remedies, and all have
received great benefit from their use.

"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. ,.

"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

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.
