Brief Hlstorr al PhiIadeln1rio-

Wiliass Penn and colony of English
friends handed in the New World in 1852,
and settled at a convenient place on the
rlYe4 Delaware, and named it Philadel-
phla. Two years after, the settlement
contained 2500 inhabitants; in I778, ex-
elusive of the British army, q, ,767; in
d79O, 1880; IL 1900, 7O,287; in 1910,
So,ZSI in 1870, 1925; (up to this
period, it was the largest city in the
United States9 IN 1880, 167, ,325; in 1910.
25O,037; in 1850, 4O8762. When the
centennial yearwas reached, the -pepula-
ton was over 81, 900, about doubling in
twenty-six years. The present number
cannot be much short of 100000. Phila-
delphia IS said to contain as many houses

Oranges and HeaHh.-A distinguished

would be gone if his patients were to
form the habit of eating a couple of
oranges before breakfast each day, from
February to June, and he adds that the

from Its being done to excess or at i'm

To Make Hens Lay,

Put two or more quarts Of water in q
kettle, and one large seed pepper, or two
small ones; then put the kettle over the
fire. When the water boils stir in coarse
Indian meal until you have a thick
mush. Let it cook an hour or so; feed
hot. Horseradish chopped fine and
stirred into mush as prepared in the
above directions, and for results we are
getting from five to ten eggs per day,
whereas, previous to feeding, says cor
respondent, we had not had eggs for
long time. We hear a good deal of COM
plant, says the Ohio Farmer, about get
ting eggs. To such we warmly recon-
mend cooked feed, fed hot. Boiled apple
skins, seasoned with red pepper, or
boiled potatoes seasoned with horserad-
ish, are good for feed; much better than
uncooked food. Corn, when fed to the
hens by itself, has a tendency to fatten
rather than produce the more profitable
egg laying. A spoonful of sulphur
stirred with their feed occasionally will
rid them of vermin and tone up their
systems. 1t is especially good for young
chickens or turkeys. Out of a flock of
ten we have lost but one. They have
been fed cooked food mostly, and are
growing finely

Man in an Iron Gage.

Mr.. Barry, in his work, Russia in
1870" tells a story of the time when
slavery was an institution in that
country. A certain iFenmaster caused
man who had offended him to be
locked up in an iron cage, and Kept
him confined in it for length Of time.
Atlast, while he was absent on journey,
the case of his wretched prisoner came
to the knowledge of the governor of the
province. The governor caused the man,
cage and all, to be brought to the gov
ernment town, and invited the tyran-
nical ironmaster to dine with him. After
the dinner was over, the governor sent
for a quail in a wooden cage, and offered
to sell it for 10000 roubles. The Oder
being treated as a joke, the governor
said he had q more valuable bird to sell,
and told his servants to bring it in.
Folding doors few open, and the iron
cage, with its miserable captive, was set
down Lefore the astonished guest.
Now" said the governor, "what do
you think of that for quail? But this
is a \ cry expensive bird; want 10000
roubles for him."
Gail right" said the alarmed proprie-
tor; 81 will buy this one. Send him
dcWn to my works without the cage, and
your messenger shall bring you the
amount"
The matter was thus pleasantly set
led, and the company adjourned in un-
disturbed harmony to their coffee.

Where If Never r Ins.

In Peru, South America, rain is un-
known. The coast of Peru is within the
region of perpetual southeast trade
winds, and though the Peruvian shores
are on the verge Of this great southeast
boiler, yet it never rains there. The
reason is plain. The southeast trade
winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike
the water on the coast of Africa. Travel
ing to the northwest, they blow obliquely
across the ocean until they reach the
coast of Brazil. By this TIM they are
laden with vapor, which they continue
to bear along across the continent, de-
posting it as they go and supplying
with it the sources of the Rio de Ia
Plata and the southern tributaries of
the Amazon. Finally they reach the
snow-capped Andes; here is wrung from
them the last particle of moisture that
a very low temperature can attract.
Reaching the summit of that range,
they now tumble down as cool and dry
winds on the Pacific slope beyond
Meeting with no evaporating surface,
and no temperature colder than that to
which they were subjected on the
mountain-tops, they reach the ocean.
Thus wo see how the tops of the Andes
become the reservoir from which are
supplied the rivers of Chill and Peru.

The Bulk Of Silver

The new vault in the United States
sub-treasury, which was prepared for the
storage Of silver dollars. is forty-eicbt
feet in length, thirty feet wide. and
twelve feet high. If every available
inch should be packed solidiy with 412I
grain dollars it would not hold far from
iorty million dollars. Everyone knows
that silver is bulky, but few persons are
aware how bulky it is. A BAG of 000
4i2t grain dollars weighs SO sic pounds
aVordupois. Accordingly, 100000 dollars
weigh not far from three tons. If a
merchant or a banker having a payment
