A new and timely toy has been invent
ed. 1t is miniature steamboat, the
machinery of which, on being wound
up, explodes by means of a spring, scat
tering portions of the boat, and the lit
tie men, women and children, by which
it is occupied, in every direction. The
object of the pleasing toy is to familiarise
children early with the contingencies
of steamboat travelling.

The RoTHscHILDs. -The finn was es-
tablished at Frankfort in It'll, by Meyer
Anselm. Being left an orphan, he obtain
ed employment in a bank at Hanover,
and by his industry and economy sue
ceeded in amassing little capital, with
which he founded his own establishment.
In 1901 he was appointed agent for the
Elector of Hesse, whose fortune he saved,
at the risk of his own, when the French
army entered that State. For that SER
vice the Emperor of Austria gave titles
of nobility to all the members of the
family, with the motto, to which they
have always remained faithful, Com
cordid, Industra, htegritas." The founder
OF the dynasty left ten children, of whom
the youngest was the late Baron James,
Of Paris.

SHOES IN JAPAN.-In Japan shoes are
of many, many fashions, as well as hats,
says James Brooks in letter. The
horse, the pony, the working bullock,
are straw shod. Nor are straw shoes so
vely ridiculous as the word straw would
seem to import. A -bottomed shoe,
fastened over the big toe, with straw
straps around the anele, is not a shoe to
be laughed at on hot day. | wish l
could wear pair in lieu of my leather
boots, this hot day. The straw shoes of
the horses and bullocks seem stronger
but they are cheap, cost only a cent,
and everywhere to be had and when
worn out, can be refurnished. They
wear, however, good while. The swell
Japs are initiating the foreigners, and
putting iron shoes on their horses bat
the great body of the people stick to the
straw. There are other men and women's
shoes some cost three cents, some SIX
the high Officials wearing blue CLOTH or
silk, as a cover to the foot, and the shoe
of the country underneath. There is a
very nice shoe, for Chinese horses, made
all of wood-two-story shoes, may call
them, on two props, which go clatter,
clatter, clatter, but keep the feet nice
and clean. All shoes are put off, as the
house is entered, and thus everywhere
are clean mats and clean rooms.

HE SARATOGA Boat RAcE.-The great
four-oarad race on Saratoga Lake be-
tween the Taylor Winship, the Tyne or
Renforth crews (both English and the
Biglin, the Mckee, the Poughkeepsie,

distance of four miles, with one turn.

rowed in America, by the Ward

National Wealth and Production.

The total value of the property, real
and personal, belonging to the Ameri-
can people in 1850, rs ascertained by
the census, was So, ia, 000,0 900. In 1860
this value had risen to Sl4, 1888, 215, 628,
showing an increase of 129 per cent.
during the previous decade Much of
this large apparent increase is known to
be due more to careful methods of enum-
Grafton than were adopted in the census
of 1850, and also to the inclusion of
many elements OF value that had been
previously omitted. Mr.. Wells, in his
last report, after careful comparison
of the two censuses, estimates that the
real increase, during the decade from
1850 to 1860, was about 65 per cent, not
counting the slaves as property, but as
the producers and consumers of wealth.
1t thus appears that $l4, 1S5, 215,628 re-
presents the actual accumulation of the
American people, beyond expenditure
and consumption, from the settlement
of this country to 1860.
Placing the present population of the
country at 100000, and taking the
census Of 1860 as the basis for calcula-
tions, Mr.. Wells sets down the total
wealth Of the nation in 1870 at 1913, 400, :
600, 900, giving an increase of $9,2l6,-
7S4,372 or 65.S per cent, in the last de-
cade. According to this estimate the
property of the nation has increased at
the annual rate of 1921, 100000 for the
last ten years. The gross value of the
present annual production of the coun.
try, according to the figuring of Mr..
Wells, is Sc, 1926, 100000, or an average
of $175 per capita in currency for the
whole population, estimated at 39,000,-
000 Dividing the people equally be-
tween the two sexes, he places AZ per
cent. of the whole number below the
age of l6, and 4. per cent. above that
of 60. Those between the ages of IS
and 65 who are incapacitated for labor
he estimates at 100000. As the result
of careful calculation, he states that
about 80 per cent, or 2,S70, 900, will re-
present that portion of the people who are
in the receipt of an income. These
consist of two classes first, those
whose income results from absolute pro-
duction, and hence adds directly to the
wealth of the nation secondly, those
whose income is paid out of the income
of the first class. Deducting the latter
from the former, we have left about TO-
900, 900, in population of about $4,000
600, whose labor makes direct addition
to the wealth of the country, whose av.
erage annual production per capita
amounts to $6S2.52 and from whose in
dustries all the rest of the nation derives
its support.

force of the gale that whole shocks Of

the field claims the wheat by right Of

he has not as many by six or eight, and

Deductlng this amount from the gross
annual production of the entire nation,
we have $2,G02, 900, 900 as the product
of all the industries not enumerated in
the above list. The direct producers
above specified Mr.. Wells sets down at

in agriculture and 730, 900 in the other
industries named The industries not
mentioned, yet annually productive Of
So, 600, 000. 900, he divides among 5, 705,-
