r m t ( A recent discussion about the helg.-.t of tree In the forests of Victoria, Autraliai bring! from the gorernment botanist the statement that he hat seen one 525 feet high. The chief inspector of forests meas ured a fallen one that was 4ns feet. In Cvprcu the eggs of locusts are gath ered,and the developed Insects are caught In systems of screens. The quant It of eggs collected was 37 J4 tons in 1S79, 337 tons In iS8o,and 1330 tons In 1S81. More than 6000 screens were used In 1SS2, and 195,000.000 Insect were destroyed ; while in 1886 there were tnorethan 1 1,000 screens and 13,000 traps, the former representing an aggregate leng'h of about 315 m'les, Nineteen hundred will not be a leap year, because tne length of the year is not exact ly 365V days. It is really a little less (eleven minutes and fourteen secondhand as the difference keeps increasing from year to year, it is necessary to drop out the extra day every hundred years or so, to bring the calendar right. Even this correction is not suite exact, but t will serve for a great many centuries, so there Is no pressing need of reform. ' Hot water Is now a remedy so popular and varied In its applications that It is not surprising to hear It recommended for the treatment of inflamed and aching eye. An American writer ,a woman whose eye dgkt was wonderful, considering her age and the immense amount of labor she per. formed, attributed it mainly' to the custom of bathing her eye's freely In water a hot as could be borne, night and morning, a habit continued for many years. ' In Great Britain, according to an emi nent authority, the ratio of increase from 1840 to 1850 was only 2.49 percent, while from 1870 to 1880 It was 10. 57 per cent.ln his annual report for i88 Consul Gen. Rainc of Berlin estimated that Great Bri tain doubled its population in fifty-one years.' ' At this rate of increase it will take but 34 years to give that country a popu lation 01480,000,000, or S333 people for every square mile of territory. Germany doubles its population every forty-seven years, which late in less than a century will give It 868 persons for every square mile. At present, with only 317 to the mile, the country Is crowded. Dr D T Tayloi, writing from Australia last Feb ruary, said that at the present rate of in crease the population of the island in 1991 will not be less than 94.000.000. LEARN TO BE HOCSEK.ELPER3. Rice Is no doubt the most extensively used article of food the world over. Hun dreds of millions of people subsist on It, and Its consumption Is Increasing. It la the principal diet of at least one-third of the human race.forming the chief food of the native population of India.ChinaJapan, Madagascar, many parts of Africa, and in fact of almost all eastern nations. The Burmese and Siamese are the greatest consumers of It. A Malay laborer gets through Sfty-six pounds monthly ; a Bur mese and Siamese forty-six pounds in the same period. The eastern nations also chiefly obtain their beverages from rice, which is the principle grain distilled In Slam, Japan and China. Saki.or rice beer, Is produced in Japan to the extent of 150,- 000,000 annually. Although rice is such a universal article of food, it Is not so nourishing as wheat or some other grains. More than nine-tenths of Its substance con sists of starch and water ; consequently it forms more fat than muscle. Kid Glovta t Kid Wove !

X OUNG, Begin with your own possessions, girls. Reform your upper bureau drawer; relieve your closet-pegs of their accumulation of garments out o use a month or two ago. Institute a clear and careful order in the midst of which you can dally more, and learn to keep it so that it will be a part of your toilet to dress your room and its ar rangements while you dress yourielf.leav ing the draperies you take off as lightly and artistically hung.orss delicately fold ed and placed, as the skirts you loop care fully to wear, or the ribbon and lace you put with a soft neatness about your throat. Cherish your Instincts of taste and fitness in every little thing you have about you . This will not make you "fussy," it Is the other thing that does that,the not knowing, except by fidgety experiment, what is har mony and the intangible grace of relation. Take upon yourself graduaHy.forthe sake of getting them in hand in like manner, if for no other need, all the cares that belong to your own small territory of home. Have your little wash cloths and your sponges for bits of cleaning ; your furniture brush, and your leather duster, and your light little broom, and your whisk and pan ; your bottle of sweet oil and spirits of tur pentine and piece of flannel to preserve the polish, or restore the gloss where dark wood grows dim or gets spotted. Find out, by following your surely growing tense of thoroughness and niceneas, the best and readiest ways of keeping all fresh about you. Invent your own processes ; they will come to you. When you make yourself wholly mistress of what you can learn and do In your own apartments, so that it Is easier and more natural for you to do it than to let it alone, then you have learned to keep whole house so far as its cleanly ordering is concerned. Our Republican friends are likely to get into trouble over the tariff question. With the great fiVored class asking for more on the one hand. and the New England iron men insisting for free coal and pig iron, the bicycle makers de- ttanding free steel rods, and the woolen manu lecture's clamoring for free wool on the other, the situation is becoming interesting.
