Distribution of Wealth.

The Sunday Welcome concludes an
article on the political and financial
condition of the country as follows:
What is the matter? The country pro-
duces more flour than we can eat, more
corn, more potat) es, more tobacco, more
sugar. There is more than enough
cotton grown, and the clothes made
from it are mole than sufficient TO cover
all. We manufacture more iron than
we can use, $50 the over production
theorists claim.) There is nothing nee
essarj to mans happiness that we have
not Why then is there want and pow
erty at so many doors: Because we
have only learned how to produce
,0ealth; not how to distribute 1t. We
have been too busily engaged in learning
how to produce: that we have had no
time to learn distribution. We have
heretofore supposed that it was only
necessary to create wealth. But we
are learning that how to distribute it is
an even more difficult question.

A Conscientious Engineer.

Scribner's Monthly has the following
item: Mr.. Peter A. Dey was the en-
gineer who surveyed and located the
first hundred miles of the Union Pacific
railroad. He estimated its cost at not
over thirty thousand dollars a mile.
When this estimate was shown to the
directors it was returned to him with or
ders to retouch it with higher colors, to
put in embankments on paper where
none existed on earth, and to make the
old embankments heavier, and to in
crease the expense generally; and then
he was requested To send in his estimate
that it would cost fifty thousand dolIcrs
mile. When Mr.. Dey found that
this part Of The road was to be let to
parties at $4,000 per mile, for work
which be knew could be done for $780,
000-this difference of $4,000 a mile
amounting to two millions OF dollars on
the frat hundred miles, and to FIVE mill
ions on the two hundred and forty-six
miles-be resigned his portion - chief

Cooked Feed for Hens.

A writer states in the Poultry Stand
ard that people would better understand
this matter if they considered for mo-
ment hen to be, ass she is, a small
steam engine, with an egg-laying at
tachment, and that there must be con-
slant supply of good food and pure wa
ter to keep up the engine and its attach
ment to it's work. In addition to keep
ing before hens that have complete lib
erty constant supply of pure water,
summer and winter, l have found during
the cool and cold weather of fall, winter
and spring, dough compounded as fol-
lows, fed one day and then intermitted
for two days, to produce excellent re-
suits: "To three gallons of boiling water
add one-half an ounce of common salt, u
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper and four
ounces of lard. Stir the mixture until
the pepper has impaired considerably of
its strength to the water. Meantime
the salt will have been dissolved and the
lard melted. Then, while yet, boiling
hot, stir in a meal made of oats and corn,
ground together in equal proportions
until a thick mush is formed. Before
feeding, taste to see that you have an
overdose neither of salt or pepper and
to prevent the hens being imposed up
on with mixture not fit to be eaten,
nor so hot with pepper that you could
not swallow it."

The Insane Hospital.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish a
resume of the quarterly report of the
Superintendent of the Insane Asylum,
by the pursual of which our readers
will learn of the good conduct and pros
porous condition of that important
branch of the territorial government.
During the past six months, the institu-
ton has cost at the rate of 45S cents
per capita, being a reduction of about
half what it was under the former adj
ministration. We judge from the Su-
perintendent's reports, and from what
we can otherwise learn about the insti-
tuition, that DIR. Sparkling is the right
man in the right place. He edeavors
to merit the appreciation of the Trustees,
and therefore faithfully performs his du-
ty towards his patients who are all i'm
proving rapidly, The institution Of a
Board of Trustees to have general SUI
pervisory control over the establishment,
was a measure founded in wisdom.
The quarterly visits of the Board have
the best kind of All effect upon the gen.
eral conduct of the institution. Thereby
the patients are made to feel that the
people of the Territory take some inter-
est in their welfare, and that their asy-
lum instead of being place of con6ne-
ment, is home provided for them by
their more fortunate brethren, where
consolation and treatment is afforded &C.
cording to their necessities.
