Interesting Statistics.

Allowing two square feet for each person,
the entire population of Boston could stand
on the public garden with q good deal of
room to spare. The entire population of the
United States could stand in Boston proper,
not including Brighton, Dorchester and
West Roxbury. The entire population of
the world (now estimated at !, 400, OOO,O 00)
could stand on the island of Martha's Vine
yard, or in the space occupied by the towns
of Boston, Brooklyn, Newton, Dedham,
Hyde Park and Milton. The State of Mas
sachusetts would in this way accommodate
seventy times the present population of the
world. The entire population of the world,
placed side by side, and allowing two feet
for each person, would encircle the earth
twenty times. The State of Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, taken together,
are as large as England Any one of the
States of Georgia, Illinois, Iowa and North
Carolina is as large as England and Scot
land together. Ireland is about the size OF
Maine. France is more than twice as large
as England, Wales and Scotland together.
Texas is thirty-five times as large as Massa-
chusetts, or as large as Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connect
cut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio
and Indiana combined. The entire popula-
ton of the United States could be provided
for in the State of Texas, allowing each
man, woman and child four acres of land.
The entire population of the world could be

Your Wife's Claims.

You are \ man of business and have no
opportunities to converse with her; ut least
you make few. She submits to this unsocial
state of things because she must; but is she
happy? Probably not; no woman likes to
be considered 4 cipher. Your wife ought to
be your best adviser. She ought to be your
most confidential counselor. The self-con-
ceit of some men would amount to a genius.
There are many husbands who would as
soon think of taking advice of their wives
as of their children.
But it is only the fool who is too wise too
seek counsel. A woman, you say, knows
very little about business: nevertheless her
intuition is often wiser than mans judge
ment. Your wife is your partner. You
have earned the money: but she has saved
and sacrificed, and pinched and worried,
and worked to help accumulate it, She has
done her fair share toward making your
property what it is. She has right to be
consulted how it shall he used. A double
right has she to have her Judgment weighed
and measured in all questions relating to
the dispersion of the family, and the training
culture of the children. Talk to your wife
oil all occasions. When you come home ut
night, tired with the cares of the day, to
find her equally fatigued, bring to her the
news of the day; bring to her the latest,
freshest thought. In buying your evening
paper, or subscribing for your monthly
magazine, or renewing your religious weekly
get what suits her needs and meets her
tastes. There is moro in the patient, quiet
silent wife of yours than you think; do not
freeze her very individuality by your prac.
teal contempt Of women.

At This Season.

Every season has its own sacred and pc
culiar phenomenon. AT this season OF the
year you will read, on an average, oftwenty-
three men, in as many States, who have
been in the common habit of hiding their
savings in the parlor stove, and whose wives
have, with surprising unanimity, looked
upon the money as SO much paper and
burned it up incontinently. These stories
are all true. There is no doubt of that.
All we wish to do here is to call attention
to certain unvarying phases in these pho
nomena, which cannot be otherwise than
eminently interesting and instructive to the
thoughtful and reflective mind. In the first
place, as we have mentioned above, the
amount is always just one thousand dollars
(the Summer savings of the man whose
wages amount to $500 year,. To proceed,
all Americans invariably use the parlor
stove as a money safe; and the women of
this free and enlightened land are so little
acquainted with the vile lucre that they
cannot tell it from common green paper.
But the strangest thing about this, after all,
is that in none of these recitals are we told
of broken stoves, lengths of stove-pipe sud
denly emerging through the shattered Win
dows of the domicile, or even Il salmagundl
of masculine obiurgations, and women's
weepings, of the I'll-go- home-to-mother on
the one hand, and l-don 't-care-it-you-d"'>
on the other.

THE MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE,
The guests are come, all silently they hav.
waited,

The guests are come, all silently they have
waited,
Entering the noiseless hush with silent
bows;
They linger for her coming sore belated--
Where is the little mistress of the house?
She is not wont to leave her friends so lonely
That come too seldom, as she gayly vows;
Yet they are here, and wait her pleasure
only;
Where is the little mistress of the house?
She cannot be far off-perhaps but sleeping;
Doubtless at their low call she would
arouse;
Why do they summon her alone with weep
ing?
Where is the little mistress of the house?
The portraits stare behind their yelling
covers;
The dust is in the melancholy room;
Upon the air a CHASTITY silence hovers;
Within the threshold loneliness and gleom
Cold, dark and desolate the place without
her,
Wanting her gentle smile, as each allows;
She bears n sunbeam light and warmth
about her;
Where is the little mistress of the house?
The curtains fall, undraped by her slight
fingers;
Behind the wainscot gnaws secret mouse;
Her treasures need her care, but still she
Where is the little mistress of the house?
Alas. there was 4 rumor and a whisper
Threading the busy town these many days;
The youngest baby here, Il tiny liSper,
Can talter forth the reason why she stays.
Why care and love the tenderest and sin
cereSt
Have failed to shield and guard her fair
young head;
Why she has fled from all she loved the
dearest:
For there has been a rumor she is dead.
Throw wide the door. Within the gloomy
portal,
Where her small feet fell light as falling
snow,
They bear her in, the mortal made immortal,
She comes again, but heavily and slow!
o empty shell! O beautiful frail prison.
Cold, white and vacant, tenantless and
dumb,
From such poor clay as this has Christ
arisen:
For such as this he shall in glory come.
But in the calm indifference to our sorrow,
In the sharp anguish of her parting breath,
In the dark gulf that hides her form to-
morrow,
Thou hast thy victory, Grave. thy sting,
o Death
Yet shall she walk so fair that we who knew
her
Would pale before the glory of her bror-s,
Nor in the radiant beauty dare to WOO her
To be again the mistress of the house.

Is the Local Option Law Failure?

We think not. Go ask those who were
convicted at the last term of our court
(some of whom are now spending few
months in jail) if they consider the law in
operative, and they will say that there is
more power and force in it than they i'm
agincd. Go ask the Judges of the Court
what they think of it, and they will tell
you they do not consider it miserable fail
ure by any meaps, TO ask the able coun-
sci employed by the vielators if they con-
slider the law a myth, and they will tell you
they once thought so, hut they now look
upon it as stern reality. In the interest
of their clients they used every effort to
prove the law of effect; demursrs were
entered to indictments; barriers were erect
ed, and obstacles thrown under the wheels
of the law 50 rs to ohstruct and cripple its
farce, but without avail. 1t did the heart
of every lover of law and order good to see

BLAINE'S MEMORY OF FACES.

Senator Blaine's wonderful memory of
value to a politcian-is thus illustrated by
a correspondent of the Cincinnati C0nmer-
cidI.
Many times have Mr.. Blaine's powers of
memory been shown since he entered Ohio
At Bellaire he recognized at once old class
mates whom he had not seen for thirty-five
or forty years, called them by name and re-
ferred to trivial incidents in the past, which
had oftentimes passed from the memory of
him addressed for many years. For in
stance, as he was entering the dining room,
DIR. Werlich, of Martins Ferry, stepped up
and said: "Mr. Blaine" Blaine turned
Immediately and replied: Why, Israel
Werlich, sure as I'm alive. I'm glad to see
you, old friend" He had not seen Werlich
SINCE 1874 or heard of him.
Again, another old man asked him
Don't you remember me"
"Why, yes,' said Blaine, calling his
name; 81 saw you thirty-five years ago at
Caldwell's Mills"
"No," was the reply, 81 never was there;
you are mistaken
Ono, I'm not, said Blaine, and he named
the day, many years ago, and an incident
of the day.
The old man frightened up and said:
"Well, I'll be doggoned, but you are right
I was there, and I've never been there
since
"Nor l either" said Blaine.
The editor of weekly paper in Eastern
Ohio was presented TO him. How do you
DO, Mr.. -" asked Mr.. Blaine, cordially
shaking his hand. "You are the editor of
the -, believe. l remember meeting
you during the last campaign, when l was
speaking in Ohio. You had just taken your
cousin in with you then. Is he still with
YOU ."
This is an incident, as the newspaper man
told it to me, and he added: 81 had but a
minutes talk with Blaine when l saw him
first"

Development of Cancer

Among many new and interesting facts
developed by DIR. Arthur Haviland in a re-
cent discourse on the distribution of dis
ease, was this: That the mortality of women
from cancer is highest in those districts
which skirt the banks of rivers subject 10
periodic floods. Having ascertained this
fact, Dr. Haviland studied the physical and
geological characters of the districts where
cancer does not thrive, and found that all
these districts are characterized by being
high and dry, with non-retentive soils
The obvious conclusion from all this is, that
patients who show tendency to cancer. or
persons in whose families cancer appears to
be hereditary, should choose for their per
manent residence high, dry sites. During
the last twenty years, no less than one hun
dred thousand women died from cancer in
England.
