POPULATION OF SWEDEN.

The report for 1878 on the Stats
tics of tho population of Sweden has
lust been published by the Central
Statistical bureau of that kingdom.
The population of Sweden at the close
OF 1873 amounted to 4,531,S63, being
an increase for the year of LOG per
cont. About Is per cent Of the whole
population now reside in towns, there
being a steady increase in that direc~
ton Since 1880. The great numeri-
cal excess of the female population
has been for many years decreasing;
at present the ratio is about 1858
women for every 1000 men. The
excess is less in the northern provinces.
The number Of marriages contracted
during the year (29,15D is something
below the average, but this a be
easily accounted for BY the Industrial
depression of the times. As usual,
nearly half of the marriages (44.55 per
cent? were contracted DUNG the last
three months Of the year. The total
number Of children born during the
year was 1885, of whom 2.S3 were
dead. As to sex, there were l,c62
boys born fo~ every 1000 girls. The
number of illegitimate children born
was 9'04 of the entire lumber. TIE
mortality for the year shows the very
low figure Of Isl per cent, although
there were severe epidemics of scarlet
fever ana diptheritis. The total num-
Der of deaths Excluding children born
dead) was 8l,4l8. The number of
e~migrants during the year was .9,032,
against only 1910 in 1877. The
number of emigrants during each of
the five years from 1868 to 1873 was
never under $4,000, and in one year
rose to 10000. The number of FLOR
eigners who settled during the year in
Sweden was 2,841.-Times.

Conauerinx a Balky Horse.

A writer in the Evangelist tells how
he conauers halky horse. His meth
cd is based on the philosophy that il a
horse has something to think of, be will
forget why he balked and become anx.

thorse! has got taste OF that already,
and still he is master. But some fine
day when was at peace with myself
and all around. I would hitch him to the
buggy, turning his head to the village.
He goes halt the way. very we'll in
deed. Then he hegins to consider he
has gone far enough in that direction,
and stops. I step down: he expects me
to use the whip. He is mistaken. As

\. = ? a.
Anp farmer may, by careful selection,
create variety in few years such as he
Ysncies. II he. saves the ears which he
'copeiders hest, In size Of ear, depth Of
kesuel, early maturity, etc, he win soon
Ind that he has less and less difficulty In
finding the desirable qualities, and in the
end will have kind al to himself. This
selection is OF itself study, and gives
rare pleasure in its pursuit, which cheers
he mere drudgefy OF caring forthe crop.
How much better to have selected and
ready, which you knowis good and reli-
able, than 10 wait until the day before
planting, and then hurry around your
neighborhood to end corn crih you can
look over for ''seed ears" When we
can get better varieties we should select
them, and then, having them as start,
no on improving. sag
It would be folly for breeder, wish
Ing to secure fine herd OF cattle, to be-
GIN with scaIawags. In the course OF
many generations he might make i'm
provemants, hut the time would be too
long, He would take the best be could
GET as 4 foundation, and having gained
that much 60 ahead. In the same way
IN improving the grains, we should Sc,
cure The best and then see what we can
do ourselves. In regard to garden
seeds, experience shows that they give
better resulvs when grown in large guam
titles, as they are by the seedsmen, than
In the kitchen garden. OF course the
kinds are kept pure and the entire crop
is harvested, whereas in the garden they
are more or less mixed, and often only
the remains which escape the gathering
hand tof the cook are preserved. The
last peas or beans that ripen are not the
ones to save. Selections in this manner
soon yield worthless kinds.

Timber nenredatinns.

Register Paulison has returned from s personal examination of the timber regions in the Huschucs Mountains at Mormon Canyon, where complaint had alleged violation of the United States laws relating to the timber lands on the public domaIn. As the laws relating 10 the timber lands have an important bearing upon the interests of the peo- pie of Arizona, we give brief state ment of the laws on the subject:
 It is lawful to obtain timber eight inches in diameter for agricultural, building, mining and other domestic purposes, on mineral lands only. Il is not lawful to cut any timber upon any other public lands for any purpose. There are severe pensltie. srtixed 10 all violation of these laws which will be enforced in all cases coming within the spirit of these laws. We are sstis fled no arbitrary or unreasonable ac- ton will be taken by the laud office m the premises.

EmDirs District.

D. A. Meyendorff, the mining engi neer, returned last evening from the above district which he had visited for the purpose of inspecting Vail and Hsrvey's claim, the Total Wreck. He reports about 100 tons of ore on the lump, and quite quantity uncovered. The vein is from ten to fifteen feet wide, and taking the average assays, and the measurements of the ore bod, exposed, and there must be in the of from s25,0O0 to $30- GOO in sight. IL is the intention of the proprietors to sink 100 feet and then cross-cut, at which depth much rich ore is anticipated. The present incline shaft is now sixty feet deep.
 There is considerable prospecting being done in this district, but not enough work has ever been done to prove the actual merit of the various claims and locations.
