An Unhappy Princess

10Hu1sa 1r11h.
Almost every week notice foolish and Sc.
vile assertions that Princess Louise is delt2htea
with Canada, aud thas any thing to the contrary
tsa Enischicyous Invention that the Princess
dIsllkes either the people or the eoan-
try IS false. but 1t IS perfectly nas
that she very much dislikes fee
residence there: and 1t would be odd II she dso
not. An eminent Canadian said to me Last asek:
"Of course she does, and every body knows y =
and understands 1t: there Is nothing to Eeseos
in the fact" The Princess is separated from
her fu1lily. has none OF her friends neaf
her. and is inevitably altogether out q

LAYING THE TRACK

Il fAlLTRE 10 CONNECT rRECIPlTATES ROW.
At haif-past l: o'clock President Brown or
dered out his forces and gave Mr.. Stewart, his
Superintendent of Construction, directions to
resume the laying Of tracks across Twelfth
street, where 1t was Interrupted the other day.
4 gang OF about forty men, equipped with picks
and shovels, Was gotten out and marched north
On tho track already laid up to it's intersection
with the south line Of Twelfth street Three
other gangs were dispatched to the Taylor, Polk,
and Harrison street crossings under instructions
TO the forcineu to go ahead where they left OF
the other afternoon.
The little knot Of people, who may be said to
have stood over the crossings day and night

Why there should have been any row by no

Coanvrk for s0ue reason or other, had received
40 orders to allow the woTkmcn to proceed with

A Perilons Balloon Yoyage.

A balloon was recently sent DIP from
Lille, France, containing two occupants,
whoshad Several very narrow -escapes
before they again alighted 0on terra
firma, A heaNF wind was. blowing at
the tfhne, and On the balloon reac ching
an altitude of 1900 metres the cold air
condensed the gas and Scaused the bal
loon to descend with fearful rapidity.
Carried along by the wind, it Stuck
violently against altree, throwing out
one Of the occupants, who only saved
his life by clinging to the ropes Of the
balloon and swinging himself into the
ear again. The anchor was thrown cut
but the speed AtlwhichS the balloon was
travelling broke it off as soon as it caught
in tree. The balloon then started off
at furious pace, impelled by the gale,
and, in crossing a railway, narrowly
escaped being cut in two by the tele.
graph wires. At last, after completing
a distance of four and a half miles in
five minutes. thes stump of the anchor
caught in the branches of tree, the
balloon came to a sudden stop and
burst and the two aronauts were thrown
down with the car, which fortunately
lodged in the tree. Some peasants soon
arrived aud sextricated The unfortunate

Woodward Avenue, and as a young
lady and a young man who seemed to
be her lover, took up the mallets to
start the balls, Q bony looking old tramp
halted and leaned ON the fence and got
his mouth puckered up for something
good. The young man took the first
shot, and, before the ball ceased rolling,
the girls voice was heard calling:
You didn't knock fair-youve got
to try it over!''
Before either of them were half way
down she had occasion to remind him
that he wasn't playing with blind per-
son. and that she could overlook no
cheating. As she went under the last
arch he felt compelled to remark that
her playing would rule her out of any
club he ever heard of. On the way
back she asked him why he couldn't be

Origin Of the Horseshoe Superstition.


In very early times, says writer ia
Bdtdsoin's Monthly, among the Celtic
race, an elflgy of the patron saint, so
common in churches and temples, was
much used in the dwellings and work.
shops of the people, as so-called :. pro-
teetiOn' against i'll fortune. The
glory - above the head of these fg-s
ures which latter was often rudely
carved in wood and painted was repre-
sented by circular piece OF polished
metal, to convey the effect of the shin
ing halo, or niaab4s, frequentlys seen in
illustrations of The Virgin and other
Scripture subjects. Often this metal
ntnsbsss was of semi-circular form; and,
after the figure itself had disappeared, :
by reason Of decay, the nimbus remain
ed and was suspended in some promi-
nent place at the entrance-do door, or 9TH
er point commanding view. The eff
gies in question were not uncommonly
seen by the side of the doorway. In
course of time the ai1abus was much used
as substitute for the latter and was sold
in the shops for this purpose. ass
The tradition Of " good luck'' as en-
bodied in the horseshoe theory, may
thus be easily traced, since it became a
common occurrence, in due course of
time, for the faithful adherent Of the
belief in charms and symbols, to adopt
the horseshoe worn to brightness. in
the absence Of any other, which he
nailed over his cottage-door. Hence a
piece of metal of this shape became as
sociated in the common mind with SUI
pernatural presence and care, in keep
ing with the belief attaching to the
original figure Of the patron ssiD.

The Increase In the Products Of Cere-
ais During the Last Fifteen Years.

A writer in the International Revie,u.
says that in fifteen years the production
OF wheat and barley in the United States.
has trebled, corn, cotton and tobacco
more than doubled, oats increased near
ly 14O, ,O0o, 900 bushels, potatoes nearly.
doubled and hay increased more than
one-third. He gives the figures for the
chief crops in 1865 and 1869 according
to which the production of wheat has
Increased from 148, ,553, 900 bushels in
the former year to All, ,757, 900. in the
latter; corn, from 704, AZ, 900 to 1,544,-
a99, ,000; oats, from 225, ,252, 200 to 1854, =
$1,000; rye, from Is, 544, 900 to- s2A646.-.
GOO; barley, from II, ,291, 900 to 4O,-
184, 900; potatoes, from t1OI 6S2, ,O0Os
to 81.S69, 900; hay, from $685.
600 tons to 35,648, 900; tobacco from
184,3l7, 000 pounds to 1894, ,O59 ,0Ooi and
Cotton from 2.223. 600 bales to !, ,O2O; 900.
The remarkable increase in the produc-
zion of cereals has been largely owing,
TO, the settlement and. development OF
the Western and Northwestern States.
Within the present generations the cen /
ter OF corn prodnction has shifted from
the South to the West. and of wheat
production from the Middle States to
the far West. In 1919, so per icelit.,,a I
and in 1889. so per cent. Of the corn
crop Of the country was producedins the
Southern States. In 1877, 859, ,O00, 600
bushels were grown in Ohio, Indiana.
Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and,
Nebraska, while the production of all
the rest Of the Union amounted to 494,-
558, 600 bushels. The increase Of the
tobacco crop has been chiefly in the
South, where the production increased
100, ,000, 900 pounds from 1870 to 1878s.
During the same period the yield of
cotton increased from 5,012,0O0. bales
to 5.216, 900. This increase was main
ly'in Arkansas and Texas, the crof, '0f
the former state swelling from III, 600, =
p00 pounds in 1870 to F31S, 100000 in
1873 and that OF the latter State from
157, 900, 900 in 1870 to nearly 500, coo, coo.
in 1878. According to the writer al,
ready cited. only about nine per cent.
of our entire grain crop is exported, IN
cluding 24.76' per cent s0f sth6 wheat
and 6.49 per cent. of the corn produced.
The, exports have rapidly increased in /
the past few years and are likely to in-
crease in the future, especially it the
cost of transportation shall be reduced.
Thus, the total exports of all cereals
increased from 39,O0O,000 bushels in
1868 to 189, 900, 900. in 1873. About
three per cent. of the national product
was exported in 1868, and nearly eleven
per cent. in 1873. In addition to this,
the expectation Of live stock, into
which corn enters more or less, has In
creased tenfold Within fthe past two
years. IL s4s ts.5s gssg94 gsss4gs.ss II f4. !
