ulation compared to area, postpone the day
for generations to come when our descendants
will have tn consider the question of how the soil
is to support them. How the most can be pro-
duced to support human life without reference to
the taste OF desires of the people. and when but
few can exercise the privilege of the plain lux

who possess energy and strength and make good

am glad these society meetings keep up their in
terest so long after the events in which they in
sense commemorate have passed away. They do
not serve TO keep up sectional feeling and bitter

The Battle of Torgau.

The battle of Torgau, fought by Fred
erick the Great in l760, is well known
TO have been one of the most murder
ously contested actions which has ever
taken place, but until lately no trust
worthy enumeration has ever been
given of the killed, wounded and miss

of the Mtlitar WOchenbIGtt, the organ of
the German general staff, carefully pre-
pared tables are published of the losses
suffered by the several Prussian regi-

pears that the tifty-nine battalions
which took part in the action, and
which numbered altogether 26,000 Off
GERS and men, lost a total of 1860
officers and men, or about sixty per
cent. of their aggregate effective. In
the thirty-nine battalions which fought
under the personal direction and inn

An /" Anti-Fatn Snring.

While surveying In the mountains
northeast of Anaheim last year Major
William p Reynolds encountered a
man who had worked for him in former
years. He failed TO recognize him,
however, until the stranger explained
who he was. He was then man of
about 200 pounds weight, whereas he
weighed $40 pounds when in the Majors
employ. The secret of his reduced size
was freely given. A short distance up
the mountain was a spring, the waters
of which contained some mineral anti
fat properties. Did the Major want to
lose some of the superhuous flesh which
encumbered him? He did. He drank
the water, and in ten days his weight
had been reduced twenty-five pounds.
He continued drinking the water until
from 210 he was reduced TO 10 pounds,
his present weight. This was accom-
plished without any violent action on
the part of the water Major Reynolds
will obtain water from the spring and
| forward it to the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington for analysis. The spring
is about sixteen miles from Anaheim,
easily accessible, and if analysis estab-
fishes the fact that there is nothing to
be apprehended from using the water,
many obese persons will avail them
selves of the opportunity to try nature S

MANY kinds of wood are used in
making bows for archery service, among
which are some beautifully variegated
woods from South America. The lance
and hickory take the lead among the
common varieties, and the elegant
snakewood, backed with hickory, makes
one of the incest bows that is made.
The snakewood takes a beautiful polish,
and owing to its responsive nature,
sends the arrow farther and with more
certainty than bow made of any other
kind of wood. The incest bows are
planed by hand, great care being re-
quired to make the sides curve exactly
alike, as any deviation Injuries the eff
cheney of the bow. The ends of the
bows are carved out of horn. The
incest bows are tipped with buffalo
horn. A piece of cork is shaped and
glued to the center and covered with
plush to make the handle. The power
of the bow is measured by the number
Of the pounds it pulls, a spring scale
being used for the purpose of showing
this. A bow pulling thirty pounds is
considered the right thing for lady,
and fifty pounds for gentleman. -

The Growing Plant and the Markets for the
Home Pr0duct in q General Unsatisfactory
uCandition American Imports in Good
Request at Fair Prices. al
LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Mark Lane Eupyess
says the aspect Of the growing wheat plant is
scarcely satisfactory, sudden changes in
temperature have tended to check it's early de-
velopment, but another month or six weeks
must elapse before any definite opinion can be
put forward as to the actual state of the crop.
Farmers deliveries of grain have been mode
rate, and dissatisfaction continues in regard to
the condition in which most of the English
wheat comes to Market Dry parcels are quite
an exception both in London and provincial
exchange. Nearly all samples offered are. damp
or sprouted. Toits defective condition must
DO attributed the comparative neglect from
which home grown wheat has suffered, and
which has prevented us from sharing the in
creased attention shown to foreign grain. The
imports of foreign wheat into London continue
moderate. More attention has been paid to
this class Of produce, granaried
stocks in the United Kingdom show
considerable deficiency on those held
at corresponding time in 1878. Millers have
purchased with less reserve, and steady trade
has resulted at fully late rates. The weak
point as regards the future course of prices is
the unusually large surplus available for ex-
port in America, which must exercise a de-
pressing effect If the purchasing power of
France has been over estimated. Apart from the
uncertainty attaching to the operations of
our neighbors who, instead Of exporting wheat,
have been lcrge importers, it remains to be seen
whether the reserves of grain in the hands of
French farmers will be sufficient to meet the
requirements of consumption. With large ar
rivals at ports of call during the week. princi-
nally from California, the floating cargo trade
for wheat has ruled steady, without quotahle
change. Maize is firm at an advance of Cd per
quarter. Sales of English wheat last week
were 52,14l quarters, at 35s lid per quarter,
against 80. 425 quarters at 52s per quarter the
previous years. Imports into Great Britain
for the week ending Jan. 1lth were wheat
