Some Interesting Figures.

In an interview at Chicago with
Robert p. Potter, the well-known statis-
tician, who las been appointed by Census
| Superintendent Walker to have charge
of the collection of statistics concerning
the debt, wealth, and taxation of the
! United States, Mr.. Potter said: The
facts which have collected give sort
of comparative view OF the growth of
the three sections of the country, and
bear especially on the economic changes
that have taken place in the past decade
in the East, West and South. In 1860
| the population of the nine Eastern
States (including New York and Penn
| sylvania) was 1854, 800; the nine
Western States Excluding Ohio), 6,752,
1868; and the thirteen Southern States,
| l0,259, ole. By careful estimate / find
that at the close of 1879 the population
of the Eastern States had reached Ia, :
303 900; that of the Southern States, IA, :
295 900, and that of the Western States,
IA, 1856. 900. Thus, while the population
of the South probably increased 4, 4,025,-
| 984, and that of the Eastern States !, $685.
7O6, the nine Western States have in
nineteen years gained 1902, ,632-an in
crease nearly equal to the aggregate in
crease of the Eastern and Southern
States in the same period. The increase
of population on the shores OF the great
lakes with the past quarter century is
without a parallel in history. l have
made a series of investigations of the
manufacturing populations of the West
ern States (Ohio omitted), of the thir-
teen Southern States, and of the six New
England States, including New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Having
ascertained by the census figures OF
1850, 1860 and 1870 the actual grow tn of
the manufacturing population of each
State, the percentage of growth for each
decade was easily found out; then by
taking the average decennial growth
between 1850 and 1870 for the increase
between 1870 and 1880, have arrived
at the following approximation:
Eastern Western Southern
States. States. States.

Western States increased from So, 947 in
1850 to 994, ,512 in 1880; in the Eastern
States from 696, ,66l in 1850 to 1884, 1868
in 1880, and in the Southern States from
l09 1886 to 25S, ,3S9.

appearance, or seen after, there is no

The QUEEN OF ALL-Honor the dea
old mother. Time has scattered tn
snowy flakes on her brow, plOwed dee
furrows in her cheek, but is she nc
sweet and beautiful now2 The lips ar
thin and shrunken, but those are tb
lips which have kissed many a hot tea
from the childish cheeks, and they ar
the sweetest lips in all the world. Th
eye is dim, yet il glOws with the soft "a
dance Of holy love which can neve
fade. Ah, yes, she is a dear old mother
The sands Of life are nearly run out; bu
feeble as she is, she will go further anC
reach down lower for you than any other
upon earth. You cannot walk into s
midnight where she cannot see you; yor
cannot enter a prison whose bars wi
keep her out; you can never mount "a
scafiold 200 high for her to reach tha
she may kiss and bless you, in evidene
Of her deathless love. When the worl
shall despise and fOrsake you, when T.
leaves you by the wayside to die unno-
ticed, the dear old mother will gathe
you in her feeble arms and carry yOn
home and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that your soul j.
disfgured By vices. Love her teuderl
and cheer her declining years with holy
devotion.

A GOOD WIFE.-A capable wife is an
admirable and delightful person, and
prize for any man to possess. A hus-
band has no more business to say he
supports his wife than he has to say he
supports his partner or his clerks. All
good wives render a full quid pro qltO
IN the partnership Of the house, even
though they do nothing but make it
pleasant aud meet their husbands on
their return from business with smile.
A young woman, by virtue of a fine
education and natural abilities, is able
as a teacher to earn, say a thousand dol
lars year. A young fellow asks her to
reliuquish this aud join him in found
ing home, her part Of it being, per-
hapsi mainly to stay 10 the house and
overlook the housekeeping. She NAV
consent to DO so with the most happy
results both to herself and him; but one
essential element in her happiness must
be that by so doing she does not pIacr
herself in position that shall create q
painful sense of dependence. There j.
no high spirited woman who can endur
without pain such au attitude, yet ther
Is no rightly constituted woman who
does not, under the right conditions, ell
JOY having all her temporal wants sur
piled and of being cared for and prc
tected. 1t is her natural destfny.-I

a SOCIAL WRONG. We have long
been convinced that the female portion
Of our population are very inadequalely
compensated for their services in pro-
portion TO the male sex. To Us it was
always surprising that a man should re-
ceive two or three times as much as
~Oman for performing exactly the same
amount of labor. RhubaTb is rhubarb,
said the learned and skillful DR.. OH
pod; and labor is labor, say we, regard
less Of who performs it. II We have a
pair of pantaloons well made, il is Of no
consequence to US whether the neces-
sary labor was bestowed upon them by
male or female hands. We look TO the
quality of the work, and not to the per
son who does it. II il be good, it is
wor'hy Of a compensation prOpOrtioned
to iIs excellence, and should be so paid
for.
But very different from this principle
Of Justice is the present condition of
things. II man does the same work
that is done by "A woman, be receives at
least half as much again as the latter
Now is this right? We say not at ALL
Women are entitled to the same
amount of wages as men for the same
quautum of services, and ought to re-
ceive il. But not much will probably
be done to improve their condition so
long as they are careless and Indifferent
about it themselves. They must, as a
class, look into the subject; see how the
machinery operates, and unitedly re-
solve to better their present ciTcum-
stances. Perhaps they might be en-
abled thus to make a movement by
which their excessive toll would be
somewhat enlightened, aud their wages
inereased.-EE.

How American Honey got on Queen
Vict0ria's Table.

IL is a curious commercial fact that
whereas year ago no American honey
in the comb was imported to England,
not less than half q million pounds will
he sent in the next twelve months.
] The trouble was, honey could not be
sent strained and canned, for the reason
I that il would candy. American honey
is by far the best in the world as regards
! flavor and purity of appearance. Know
ing that, New York firm hired Mr.
Hodge, a well-known honey expert, to
/ try to Introduce il In England.
Over the water went Hodge with a
| lot OF the sweet stuff in a comb. Il re-
/ quired skill to pack it and to load aud
unload, but it arrived all right, not a
cell being burst. The English dealers
in honey gave him the cold shoulder.
| They had the editors of the British Bee
Journal give him q raking down, and
they themselves added all the mean
things they could say.
Mr.. Hodge made little headway. He
was about to give it up for a bad job
when a brilliant thought struck him.
He must get the honey on the Queens
table. How was he 10 do this ? While
picking his teeth after dinner and
ruminating on the subject, his eve
alighted on a pickle jar. II bore the
name of a man who had been high
steward in Windsor Castle.
HES my man." said Mr.. Hodge to
himself, and away he went 10 the pickle
man.
Did he rush up to him and blurt out,
81 want to put American honey on the
Queens table ri Not a bit of il. He
began TO talk pickles with the man
asked him a thousand questions about
how they were made, ate a score or
more Of them, and ended by proposing
that the pickle man furnish pickles to
the American house that he repre-
sented. The pickle man was delighted.
The New York man gave him an order.
They had bottle Of wine together, and
the American said:
Now, l have helped you, you must
help me. Can't you put American
honey on the Queens table ?'
"Of course ] can" was the reply, aud
in no time arrangements were made.
A case Of honey was given to the
pickle man, and another was sent TO the
high steward, and in a short time some
Of il was before the royal family. The
young folks liked it so we'll that Vic
toris gave orders for il to be kept in the
castle. That was enough. American
honey was from that moment in de-
mand, and Mr.. Hodge has Just sent
orders for the shipment of $4,000
pounds of this years crop. The British
Bee Journal Topped over to the other
side and was loud in praising the Amer
lean article. Every fashionable table
must have American hOney.-COrre-
