Cardozo. The total which you see there rep
resents the appropriations merely for the cur
rent fiscal year. Besides this, there was de-
iciency arising from the non-payment OF the
actual appropriations Of last year, amounting
to s691 1893. The aggregate, therefore, of the
appropriation which was called upon to pay
was within fraction of $4,000, 900, or in 9th.
er words, S1,727, ,476 and s691,396. To raise
this amount a tax of twelve mills was levied,
which any one can see is totally inadquate
upon taxable basis of 100000, which is
an extreme figure to be relied upon as prop
erty of the State as at present assessed. MY
receipts have been, so far, as follows, and the
treasurer handed me another paper, which

AbOut NeWspaDers.

The antiquity of newspapers dates as
far back as 691 b. c., when the Actu
Diur7aa was issued mt Rome. Veuic, in
modern Europe, published the first news
paper, the Nottzic Scritta, about 1886.
The oldest newspaper extant is probably
the Gazette dc France, which appeared
first in April, 1851. 1t was edited by "A
physician-M. Renandot. Two years
later Sir RogerL 'Estrange published the
first real newspaper in England, under
the title of the Public HteUigencer.
The Gazette appeared some three years
later. Previous to the appearance OF
these regular newspapers broad sheets
of news were from time to time pub
lished, eleven of which wer circulated
during the time of the civil war. In
1860 an act prohibiting the publication
of newspapers and pamphlets, except
under censorship, was passed, but En-
glish literary prints, the Mercurius Lii
brarius," was published April 8, 1850.
The first morning paper, the Daily
COwant, appeared March II, 1902. In
Scotland the first number of the Wcr-
CIRRUS Politicus was printed, by order
of Cromwell, on Oct. 26, 1863. In Ire
land the Dublin NeWs Letter made its
appearance in 1856. The letters of
Junius began to appear in the Public
advertiser in 1867. The London Tines
appeared in 1855. At the present time
France possesses about 1,64O news
papers, Germany about 400, Spain
publishes 200. The first newspaper pub
lished in America was the Boston Ne,0s
Letter, the first number being dated
April "a, 1904. 1t was printed on half
sheet of paper twelve inches by eight,
with two columns on each page. 1t was
published and probably edited by John
Campbell, postmaster of Boston, a
Scotchman. The Boston Gazette APP
peared Dec. n, 1899, and or the next
day was followed by the american
Weekly Mercurie, from the printing
office of William Bradford, at Phila,
delphia In 1894 the Commercial Id
uertiser appeared in New York, and il
1901 it was followed by the Evenin5
Post, now edited by William Cutler
Bryant. In 1928 the number of news
papers in the United States had in
creased to $50, with yearly issue o.
SO, 117,776 copies. In 1882 the first
penny paper, the Sun, was founded il
New York by Benjamin II. Day. In
1885 the New York Herald appeared
entering the arena as penny sheet
afterward raised to two. The number
of newspapers at present in circulation
throughout the Union is estimated a
about 5000, being at the rate of one
per 5000 inhabitants.

Terrific Combat Between Two Rocky
Mountain Eagles.

GA most terrific battle between two
birds" says the Virginia (Nevada) Mo,e
tanian of the 18th, occurred between
two large brown eagles in the vicinity
of the lakes above Virginia, on last
Wednesday evening. When first noticed
the birds were soaring one above the
other, mt an altitude of perhaps three
fourths of mile, and seemed on a sail
for pleasure. Presently the uppermost
bird, closing its broad wings, shot down
like a meteor for two or three hundred
feet, and with wild, piercing scream,
lit fairly upon the back of the other
bird Turning with the rapidity of light
ming, the victim clutched its adversary
with talons and beak, and fierce strug-
gle ensued. The savage yells, the
striking of huge wings, the showers of
falling feathers, gave unmistakable evil
dence of the ferocity with which the
contest was waged.
GAS they fought they fell earthwards,
and when within 500 feet of the ground
they became disentangled and each
swooped upwards again. Now followed
an interesting trial as to which should
first gain sufficient altitude to make
another plunge. The circling of the
smaller was rapid and close, while that
of his antagonist was made with greater
limits, and his ascension was quickest
accomplished. The largest eagle was

soon fully one-half mile high and some
hundreds OF feet above his victim.
lowering in mid-air for moment, as if
making sure of his aim, he again darted
down upon his enemy, striking him as
before with force that seemed suffi-
Gent to kill of itself. Again they crap
pied and fought like winged demons
whirling, falling and striking furiously
for the space of two or three minutes.
They were now near the largest of the
lakes, and gradually descending to the
water. The struggles of the smaller be-
came less and less fierce he was getting
weak and was evidently nearly vanquish-
ed, while his more powerful aggressor
seemed to wage the battle with increased
vigor.
"Another moment and the conquer
ing monarch loosed his hold, and, with
an exultant shout of victory, scared up
ward. The battle was ended-his pris-
oner, limp and hfeless, fell into the
waters of the lake with splash, and
floated on the surface without strug-
gle. We, with our companion, tried to
get the dead eagle, but were unable to
do so without swimming for it. Both
birds were of very large size, the largest
measuring, we think, fully twelve feet
from tip to tip. The spectacle was ex-
citing in the extreme, and the victory
tragically complete. The battle had
likely commenced before we discovered
them, as it does not seem possible for
one to kill the other in so short time,
although the fighting was terrific.

How to Cure q Cold.

If cold settles on the outer coverings
of the lungs, it becomes pneumonia, in
fiammation of the lungs, or lung fever,
and in many cases carries of the strong
est man to the grave within a week. If
cold falls upon the inner covering of
the lungs, it is pleurisy, with its knife
like pains and it's slow, very slow recov-
cries. If a cold settles in the joints,
there is rheumatism, with the agonies
of pain, and rheumatism of the heart,
which in an instant sometimes snaps
asunder the cords of life with no friendly
warning. 1t is the utmost practical inn
portance, then, in the wintry weather,
to know not so much how to cure cold
as to avoid it. Cold always comes from
one cause-some part of the body being
colder than natural for time. If a
person will keep his feet warm always,
and never allow himself or herself to be
chilled, he or she will never take cold in
lifetime and this can only be ac-
complished by due care in warm cloth
ing and avoidance of drafts and ex-
posture. While multitudes of colds come
from cold feet, perhaps the majority
arise from cooling off too quickly after
becoming little warmer than is natural,
from exercise or work, or from confne-
ment to warm apartment.

Our German Population.

A recent number of the Deutsche
Nachrichten contains a very interesting
analytical estimate of the number of
Germans living in the United States.
According to the census lists, there lived
in the United States in the summer of
1870 total of 1880, 40 persons born in
the present German Empire. To this
is to be added the number of emigrants
from Austria, Bohemia, France, Hun
gary, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, for
1S69-'70, amounting to 196, 900. In this
total, the emigrants from Russia and
Russian Poland are omitted, as offset
ting the Prussian Poles, who are not of
German extraction. This gives grand
total of 1,SS6,00 persons of German
descent born in Europe and living in
this country, in 1870. To this number
are to be added the descendants of Ger
man emigrants born in the States. The
census of the first generation of all ma.
tionalities amounts to 4, 49, POI. Di-
vided pro rata, this would give |, sos, 600
descendant of Germans. The latter
generations which remain to be added
have to be obtained mainly by estimate.
The stream of German emigration from
1850 to 1920 was steady, but very small
but, during the past fifty years, it has
rapidly increased, as will be seen by the
following table:
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1873-09-12
following table :

In estimating the later generations
that is, the grandsons and great-grand-
sons-of course the computation can
only be made on the emigration between
1921 and 1850, amounting to 600, 900.
Naturally, only a limited number of
these would have grandso MS and great
grandsons, and these the Nachrichten
estimates at 100000. The total sum-
mary, therefore, shows German immi-
grants, 1856, 600; first generation, l.
608,0O0; and other generations, l, $780,
600, or total of 4,994,00 In round
numbers, We may say that there are
5,000,0 900 of Germans and their immedi-
ate descendants living in the United
States.

What the Leaf Does.

1t pumps water from the ground,
through thousands of tubes in the stem
of the tree, and sends it into the atmos-
phere in the form of unseen mist, to be
condensed and fall in showers the very
water that, were it not for the leaf,
would sink into the earth and find its
way, perchance, through subterranean
channels, to the sea. And thus it is
that we see that it works to give us the
"early and latter rain." 1t works to
send the rills and streams, like lines of
silver, down the mountains and across
the plain. 1t works to pour down the
large brooks, which turn the wheels that
energize the machinery which gives en-
ployment to millions-commerce stimu-
lated and wealth accumulated, and in
telligence disseminated through the
agency of this wealth, The leaf does
it all. 1t has been demonstrated that
every square inch of leaf lifts .025 of an
ounce every twenty-four hours. Now, a
large forest tree has about five acres of
foliage, $500, $40 square inches. This
being multiplied by .025 (the amount
pumped by every inch) gives the result,
2,252 ounces, or eight barrels.

ENGLIsHMEN control the business,
commerce, and mines of the greater
portion of the American continent.
Their steamers carry the freight and
passengers of the western and eastern
coasts of South America, and the mines
of Sonora are owned by British COM
panies. In this way the wealth of Mex
leo and Peru is being absorbed into
London, and this has been going on
since the Yiceroys of Spain were driven
from South and Central America. The
British are more adventurous than Amer
leans in risking their capital abroad I;

A Plea for the Little Ones.

The Pacifc Medical and Surgical
journal testifies that fourteen million
grains of morphine are administered
annually to babies lin the shape of
soothing sirups), by persons ignorant
of the poisonous effects of the drug.
The stimulant, where it does not de-
stroy life, breeds drunkenness, degrade
ton, and vice. is this not terrible
enough for warning to mothers !?
A child's right TO a sound constitution
is something that should need only its
assertion, in order to obtain respect.
This is surely not thing to be lightly
passed by. A baby's grave is only a
span long, and there are ten such in a
cemetery to that of an adult; but it is
not enough to say it is "only a baby's
grave. The babe had right TO live !;
had right TO demand of the generation
into which it was born that it should
have fair play i'll the struggle for an ex-
istence had a right TO ask for air and
sunshine and ventilated sleeping
place had the right to demand of care
less parents that it should not be drug
ged to death by dose of soothing
strip, administered by the hands of an
ignorant nurse. We hear much of wo-
mems rights, mems rights, boys rights.
and girls rights, and even the rights OF
ANIMALS. Isn't it about time to hear OF
babies and childrens gifts?

To the Lake Erie ports, which in
clude Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit,
the steam rates have boon reduced to
twenty-four cents and to the Lake
Michigan ports, which include Chicago,
Milwaukee and Green Bay, with steam
around the lakes, the tariff for first class
goods is twenty-seven cents.
This is encouraging to both the
farmer and merchant, and will, perhaps,
enable the former to realize out of his
short crop, in view of the present ex-
port demand and the expectation of it's
continuance, the same profit as a larger
crop, with the old high rates of freight,
would have Melted him.

and though they may sometimes be VIC
timized, as in the Little Emma specu-
lation, the money expended generally
returns with interest. Americans have
plenty of employment for their capital
at home. 1t is pity, however, that
our merchants have not given more at
tention to South American trade.
