this year Kill amount to 300,000,000 pounds,
or half of the entire crop of the country.

Statistics are quoted to snow that "in New
York, New Orleans, Savannah, Baltimore,
Boston, Chicago and St. Louis, there are near
ly a fourth more women than men, anil women
are in the majority in ail the original 13 states

President Harrison, after listening patiently
to an ofrie; applicant for nearly an hour, said
to him: 'I grasp the situation.'' "That," said
the office-seeker, "is just the trouble. What I
want of you is to let go the situation so that I
can grasp it.
Three doctors have been indicted in
New York foi performing a post mortem
examination on the humbug mind reader,
Bishop, when it is claimed that he possibly
might not have been dead. Perhaps they
were too hasty, but really the world tvouid
have been as sensibly well off if the man
hid been autopsied long before he died.
A party of gamblers at Montague, Mich,,
were treated to an unwelcome surprise a
few nights ago. A woman who suspected
that her husband was one ot a coterie who
met in a quiet block slipped up to the room
and rapped on the door. The inside guard
opened the door,when the woman pushed
in. There was immediately a general
scramble. Two knights of the green baize
jumped into bed and pulled the quilts over
themselves, while others sought any avail
able nook or corner. The wife collared
her erring liege and led him triumphantly
iorth.
After a free inquiry throughout the re
gions devasted by water, through persons
well calculated to judge, we are inclined to
legard the following totals as much nearer
the actual money loss In property destroyed
than any aggregates previously published:
At Johnstown and other points through
out the Conemaugh Valley, the Pennsyl
vania Railway losses in that region, and
the loss of the Cambria Iron and Steel
Company, $30,000.000 ; losses to other
railway companies (in four s'ates,) $i,!5o,
oeo ; damage from floods to real property,
merchandise, etc., at cities and towns In
Maryland, Virginia anj District of Colum
bia, $5,000,000 ; at Wi'.liamsport, Pa., $5,-
000,000 ; in the Juniata Valley ,Pa.,$i,ooo,
000 ; in southern New York (twenty-five
towns,) $1,500,000 ; probable loss to coal
mines, $500,000 ; total, $44,250,000. These
figures are given on the judgment of men
on the ground without claim to an exact
ness which is at this time, of course, im
possible. At seven towns in the Cone
maugh Valley there was $7,587,000 capital
invested in business, while at Wllltamsport,
Pa., the total capital invested was not lest
than $23,200,000

The idea of adopting a national flower
has evidently gained something of a hold
upon the people of this country, and sug
gestions without number, or at best limit
ed only by the list of flowering shrubs and
plants, continue to find their way into the
newspapers. But there is not much like
lihood that any of the multitudinous bios
soms which help to beautify American
landscapes will ever enjoy the distinction
of being the one generally accepted nation
al flower. National preferences, likes and
dislikes, cannot be made or done away
with by a set of resolutions, neatly drafted
by some enthusiastic society, nor are thev
amendable ts legislative enactment. Thev
grow out of the surroundings and the tra
ditions of a people, and so slowly that when
they have at length been adopted, no one
can tell definitely hew they cam; about.
Another difficulty that will present Itself at
he outset of such a movement, if inaug
urated, is the fact that the United States
are of too great extent, with no great diver
sity of climate and national productions.
We have no flower growing in the wild
stat? that can properly be called national.
The blossoms which school children de
light in the east are unknown in many sec
tions of the country, while California and
many of the southern s'ates rejoice in a
profusion uf floral beauty of which the
people of the north and east have hard I v
any conception. The French lily.the Eng
lish rose, the Scotch thistle and the Irish
shamrock each gair.eJ their pre eminence
in a country to which they were indigenous
and through which they were abundantly
and quit equally distributed. It was easy
lor them to become distinctively national
in character. But in this country it will
not be so easy a matter. It is not likely
that the peop.e of a single state, even,
could easily agree upon any one flower as
their especial favorite. This being admit
ted, the difficulty of selecting a national
flower will be readily understood.

Housekeepers and careful home caterers
need their very best judgment at this junc
ture to regulate the family d'et. With the
descent ef these burning davs entire
change of menu is necessitated. Many
authorities advocate an almost total aband
onment of heavy meats, rich gravies, sauces
and highly spiced dishes, to be replaced by
delicate foods composed chiefly of grain,
fish, fruits and vegetables. That long suf
fering and sorely-abused function, one's di
gestion, certainly deserves some considera
tion after a winter of unceasing work. It
is simply astonishing the amount of un
necessary fuel men and women take in
every twenty-four hours, and .vhen languor I
and general liver depression is complained
of they would be profoundly surprised to
learn that the ill arose from excessive in
dulgence of appetite. It is said that ''man
is almost the only intelligent animal that
eats when he is not well or not hungry, or
that does not change and regulate his food
according to the seasons and his needs. A
great deal lighter diet and even a nearer
approach to fasting will help rather than
hurt most people, who have not physical
labor to perform, as the hot weather comes
on."
