CONSUMPTION OF MgAT.-The Tribune shows
what it takes to feed the people of Gotham.
Whole number of Beeves slaughtered from
January to March 9th was 36,249 weekly
average 1888. The whole number of other
animals slaughtered for the same time was as
follows; Veal 1886; Sheep and lambs co.
GIG; Swine 67,76S; Milk Cows 2,464 total
204,979, weekly averge of 15,767; making
a total average of 1856. The cost per week
of the Beeyes alone, is about $l67, 2sO, and for
the whole time mentioned 81, 100, 1862. Here
is total of al, 900 animals slain in one city
for the supply ofits peoples wants. The num-
Der is perfectly immense.
De Quincy says he gained his idea of the
magnitude of the " world of London - from
the great droves of cattle, to be seen on all the
roads of the kingdom, and all tending towards
that common centre. So might we gain an
idea of the magnitude and wealth of New York
by seeing the long cattle trains, and the hun
dreds of water craft, loaded with animals that
crowd the Railroads and the waters adjacent
to the city.

Confidence in subsoil ploughing viii be in
creased by an occurrence in Sussex county,
Va, where Mr.. J. Seward ploughed up an
Anticipated piece of pottery, in the form Of a
jug, containing about $500 in gold and silver
coin. One piece bore date of 1907, and an
other had on it Josephus l., the only words
legible. Nearly every piece had been clipped.
Mr.. Seward was so elated that he shouted
long and loud, bringing his friends from the
house, who ran to him in the belief that he
had been bitten by snake. The coin may
have belonged to some old miser, who buried
it at the time coin clipping became so COM
mon, especially among the Jews in England.
that an act of parliament was passed making
it felony.

'My wife and were aroused about two
o'clock this morning by the struggling of our
little boy, about three years old, who was La
boring under violent attack of the Group
His breathing was so difficult as to arouse per-
sons who were sleeping in a room beyond the
hall. hastily folded towel, dipped in cold
water, and applied it to his throat and breast;
then folded sheet to the proper size, wet it,
and rolled him up in it, and wrapped blan-
ket over that. He went to sleep in three min
utes, and slept till o'clock. when he got up
was dressed and went to play in hours after
the attack, and we were rejoiced at the cura-
tive power of cold water.

APPRECIATION OF THE UNITED STATES
Lord Ellesmere, ahighly cultivated English
man who recently visited the United States as
Commissioner from Great Britain to the
Worlds Fair, says, in letter to New York
paper, "Let any man try the experiment of
lecturing to an average English audience in
depreciation or contempt Of the stars and
stripes, and he would assuredly be hooted
down." He also says, eff Milton were alive
now, he would insert into his treatise ON edu-
cation, an eloquent paragraph recommending
travel in America"
