The New Genital System.

The new GENITAL system substitutes
weight for measure, and simplifes the
standard Of weight. According to the
new arrangement the "cental or new
hundred weight will signify 100 lbs
not 112fbs as formerly. The unit of
transactions is to be the pound savoirdu-
pois. The recommendation of the
New York produce exchange to the
several trade committees is shat after
Oct. 1 all their dealings in grain, -four,
meal provisions, lard, tallow, butter,
cheese, petroleum, naval stores, oils,
hay, salt, seed, dried fruit, live and
dressed stock, and all other articles of
produce that T or may be dealt in on
the exchange, with freights and storage
thereon, shall be exclusively on the
basis of weight" that the unit of tran
sactions be the pound ad%voirdupois,
and that the multiple thereof be the
GENITAL, or 100 TBS ad~voirdupois. Under
this arrangement the old divisions of
80, %, IA, Z will give place to so, 20, 10
and 5 lbs. On the principles here
laid down, after October /, all business
at the New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Cincinnati produce exchanges will
be conducted. The Chicago board of
trade have as yet taken no decisive
action.

THE LONGEST INTHE WORLD.
A Michigan Man with Whiskers Seven
and One half Feet In Length.

A correspondent of the Detroit Post
and Tribune writes from Adrian, Mich,
of a certain Edwin Smith, who is the
possessor of a remarkable beard. The
correspondent says:
Ordinarily Mr.. Smith and his beard
would not, attract especial attention.
BE does not let it away at its own free
will at all times, but keeps it tied in a
compact bunch under his chin, holding
it fast with thread and hair-piEs. When
thus done up it does not appear to be
of unusual length unless the observation
is close. So. while 1t has come to be
generally known in the vicinity Of Mr..
Smiths residence that his beard is un-
usually long, but few people have seen
it in all its enormou length except as
hereinafter stated. He is Al years Of
age. He is about six feet high, and
weighs las pounds. His hair and beard
are sandy and tinged with gray. He
has a pale face, blue eyes, a high fore
head, and an intelligent and pleasant
appearance. At Is years of age he be-
gan to raise a beard, and while yet q
young schoolboy, was possessed of a
light silken covering to face and neck,
rivaling in length that of many of his
seniors. But he became tired of this,
and shaved almost daily several years,
keeping his face smooth and beardless.
He continued to attend school in what
used.t be known as the Sherman Dis
trict, Huron county. The growth Of
his beard was not, however, sufficiently
rapid to attract any especial notice.
In 1858 he came to Michigan, where he
married. His health from boyhood has
not been of the best, bilious and lung
troubles being most common. In 1861
his health failed, and he went to Cali
fornia in the hope of regaining it.
SIT was the fashion among the miners
of those days to allow their boards to
grow. 1t was agreed among several Of
them, MI. Smith among the number,
that they would allow their boards to
grow for six months, and see which
could at the end of that time boast Of
the longest. Mr.. Smith outstripped
all rivals, and allowed his beard to grow
from then on. The nature of the
| miners work made it convenient to tie
or fasten the beard under the chin. In
| this way Mr.. Smith first became ac-

GOOD plan

Anybody can learn to make money rap
idly operating in Stocks, by the 1.-Two
Unerring Rules for Success, f" in Messrs.
Lawrence & Co.'S new circular. The
combination method, which this firm
has made SO successful, enables people
with large or small means to reap all
the benefits of largest capital and best
skill. Thousands of orders, in various
sums, are pooled into one vast amount
and co-operdted as a mighty schole, thus
securing to each shareholder all the ad-
vantages of the largest operator. I'm
mense profits are divided monthly.
Any amount, from IS. to $1,000, or
more, can be used successfully. N. Y.
Baptist Weekly, September 26th, 1878,
says, "By the combination system S15
would make $75, or 5 per cent. $50
pays $3.50, OF Z per cent; 800 makes
$1,000, or 10 per cent, on the stock, dur

FASHION NOTES.

Very simple toilets are chosen for
travelling.
Stuffed birds will ornament fall and
winter bonnets.
There is a most decided furore for
white dresses this season.
All sorts OF shade hats are worn. The
brim is bent Indescribably.
Large clusters of Marguerites are
worn for the waist bouquet.
Young ladies in England have taken
to canoes for amusement, and the sport
is very popular.
Dresses of gauze and grenadine are
trimmed with bands of embroidered
gauge in milleieur colors.
Sarah Bernhardt has decreed that
the tiny bouquet de corsuge must be worn
on the left side of the neck of the dress.
There is a great deal Of shirring on
white satin, as no other fabric looks SO
pretty when massed on drawing-strings.
French ingenuity has made a birds
nest with a humming-bi bird or wren
nestled within as an ornament for a
shade hat.
The new patterns in Honiton lace
braid are wider, and give the effects
formerly obtained by sewing two or
three braids together.
japanese fans will be decorated this
year with highly improbable iiocks of
red hens refusing to be "shooedn by a
ridiculous blue woman.
Petticoats of white and of tinted
foulared silk are the demand OF the
moment in dainty wardrobes. They
are trimmed with lace-edged pleating.
The thinnest veil or silk handker-
chief thrown over the face while riding
or walking against a cold wind is.a re-
markably comfortable protection.
A pretty shade hat has the scoop
brim covered with dotted muslin on the
front, and trimmings of two loops of
muslin on the crown, divided by a clus-
ter of convolvuli.
Flowers are not so lavishly used in
the decoration of wedding dresses as
formerly. Small bouquets are set at
intervals down the front, or clusters are
fastened in the paniers.
Many ladies' have never left off wear
ing a small %crinoline tournure, even
the reign of %princesse dresses,
and it is this hustle that is now general
ly adopted for short dresses.
Contrasting popularity with the
"cheese-cloth'' costumes for wear at
summer resorts are those of zephyr
or a very fine quality of French
bingham and Madras ginghams.

Still its long b was so great that the
foot coula pe placed on the ends, which
touched the the floor. The beard has
been carefully trimmed, SO that it is of
even weight and size to the very end.
unrolling a little paper, which was
laid away in a drawer, he said: that's
its length last winter and unwound a
seemingly endless hair. When measur-
ed, it was found to be z feet 4 inches
long. Now we will measure the beard
as it is to-day, said he; and he looked
for a yardstick. Seven feet, six inches
and a hair was the length"

Great increase OF whisky.

With all the efforts that have been
made for suppressing intemperance in
the use of alcoholic liquors, the statistics
show an alarming increase in the prOduc-
ton of the destructive material. Some
of it has been stored in bonded ware
houses for future use, but there has been
a large increase in the amount maufac-
tured and imported, and also in the
amount actually sold for consumption.
A dispatch from Washington says:
'',rhe Internal Revenue Bureau has
prepared statement showing that the
number of gallons of spirits produced
during the fiscal year of 1879 was
II 1892 ,617, against Sc, l03,053 in 1878,
showing an increase for 1879 of IL, ,7S9,-
564 gallons. The number of gallons
withdrawn from bond with tax paid was,
in 1878, ,,,5l ,S96, ,779, while in 1878 the num-
Der was 40 ,573 ,639, an increase for 1879 of

drawn from bond for export was, in 1879
Il, 1897 ,5S1, against . ,499 252 in 1873 show

Along the Northern PacirIc saiIroad.

A private letter speaks of the scenes
along the line of the Northern Pacific
roilroad: [ think it is the finest country
I ever saw. The first one hundred miles
from Duluth the scenery was grand. To
follow the St. Louis river for about
twenty-five miles-they call it s'The
Dells the railroad runs about two hum
dred feet above the bed of the river, and
there are large bluffs along the other side.
The bed of the river is full of reefs of
rocks, and the water goes dashing and
foaming over them. We go over bridges
two hundred and fifty feet high, and they
are grand sights. The first forty miles,
after leaving Brainard, was through
woods. We then came to the Red River
Valley, and such a valley as far as you
could see! The prairie was as level as a
floor, and saw one field of wheat which
they said contained 5000 acres. AS far
as the eye could see there was nothing
but wheat. The man who owned this
field has fifteen thousand acres more in
wheat, and the average yield will be
twenty bushels to the acre-some say
twenty-five. l saw a great many fields
which they said contained from $40 to 3,
600 acres in one body.
After leaving Red River Valley there is
a long stretch of country SAY 200 miles, of
nothing but wild prairie land, inter
spersed with alkali-water lakes, which are
w
and snipes. We stopped at place.called
jamestown, for dinner. 1t isquite pref
ty place, situated in valley surrounded
by bluffs, on OF near Jamestown river,
from which it derives its name. Thence we
went to Bismark, with nothing in partiau-
lar to look at except the boundless prairies,
witch seemed to stretch to the horizon.
Bismark is situated within mile of the
Missouri river. The railroad has exten-
sive warehouses and depOts here. There
are several large stores, and any quantity
of saloons and gamblings houses, and
also plenty of fast women. This place is
where all the freight is loadted on wagons
ard taken to the Black Hills. You can
see almost any day hundred wagons
leaving Bismark for the hills. They call
them there F'bull trains.'' There is any
quantity of flies and mosquitoes here. In
the evening it is no uncommon thing tc
see men walking along the streets with
mosquito bars on their heads. The men
who drive the cattle wagons all have
them, and they look very fancy.
Mention is the terminus of the North
ern Pacific railroad. 1t is about three
months old. There is two stores, fif.
teen saloons and two hotels. One of the
hotels are canvas. There are several
small dwelling-houses, and should judge
the principal business to be drinking
whisky, and very poor at that.
