The following fgures-a synopsis of
tables elsewhere published-sh showing the
remarkable growth of village and county
in few years, are astonishing and wonder
full. They are as nearly correct as possible,
and being compiled principally from Off
cial sources, are susceptible of proof;
This village, in 1872, had but 10 build
ings; in 1879, it has 203. In 1872, there
were only ) business houses; in 1879,
there are 81. The population of the village
in 1872, was so; in 1879, it borders close
upon ] l,000. Amount of business transact
ed in 1872, $4,000; in 1878, s15O,0O0.
Iu this county, in 1872, the number Of
acres of taxable land was 3, 3,6S2; in 1879, it
has increased to II, 1913 acres. The rumbcr
of acres Of cultivated land in 1912, were
957; in 1879, there is under cultivation, 30
$40 acres. The amount of taxable proper
ty increased from Sal ,984, in 1872, to $917,-
092 in 1879.
The following letter explains the cores

readers are under obligations to an "Old

The COstliest of Furs.

The skin of mustela zlbelina, known
as the Russian sable, is the most expen-
slve fur sold. The zeselina is of the
weasel family, and is about the size OF
the German marten. 1t takes four or five
skins to make an ordinary muff. The
best and darkest of these little animals
are found in Russian Lapland, Yakootsk
and Yenesei. Very few of these skins
ever leave Russia, where they are al
most monopolized by the imperial fam
lily and the nobility. A muff and boa Of
''crown" Russian sable will bring from
$500 to $3.50. The exclusive beauty OF
this fur is its rich colors, deep brown
and jet black, with points of hair tip
ped with white; the hairs are so fixed in
the skin that they can be brushed either
way and will lie nicely. Russisn sable
is never made up into garments in any
other country except China and Russia
This fur is TOO costly to be ranked as fash
ionable, in the general significance OF
the term fashion. Only the wealthy can
afford such costly raiment, and that arti-
Gle of dress pronounced fashionable
must be within the reach of the majority
of society dresses Russian sable is an
exclusive fur.

Two IDIOTS.

They were two idiots. They didn't
know it, but they were. One wore male
attire and the other was dressed as
young woman. They exhibited their
id1ocy in the cars at the depot, where
the one dressed III men S clothes stood IN
the Car aisle buzzing the other till long
after the train had stated to leave town.
Then he plunged for the door, about
which several passengers stood, and it
was some time before he could get the
door open, SOFAS to jump off the steps of
the rapidly moving train. The sympa-
thetlc passengers stretched their necks
to see if he got of safely, and as luck
would have it, he did, and turned 10
wave his handkerchief at the tar idiot
in the Car, who had allowed him to talk
to her when he had nothing to say, and
then to risk his life IL doing what he
ought to have done before the train had
started. You can see these people at the
depot any day. AS fast as they are
killed fresh representatives rise up to
supply the demand.

Pins and a Woman's Dress.

Our wife wants new dress. After two
or three or half dozen stores have been
ransacked for the goods, the dressmaker
is sought out. The matter of measure
ment is tedious, and the matter of fitting
is one OF numerous and repeated trials.
Finally the dress is finished and sent
home. Then it is sent back to be taken
in here and let out there, and at last, af.
ter the customer has been fitted more
times for that one dress than her husband
has been measured in three or four years
the dress comes home for the last time
and the wearer, her friends and the dress
maker pronounce it beautiful, and per
feet fit, and it is finished.
Beautiful it certainly is, far more beau
tiful than anything her husband ever
wears. Colors and material, style, blend
ing shades and contrasting bits of color
are all in the perfection of good taste
No man can improve upon that But il
isn't finished. When it is completed as
far as the skill of the dressmaker can fin
ish 1t, and is put On, it has to be pinned
,, somewhere; sometimes in two or three
often in half dozen places. 1t always
requires pin. Leave out the pin and
the dress is all awry somewhere. On al
this broad continent there is not one
American woman who can dress so as tt
make any kind OF an appearance in good
society without pins.
Now, suppose our tailor should send
our suit home, and when we had put or
the coat we had to pin it at the neck
| Or suppose there were no suspender but
tons aft, and we had to use pins there
Suppose he made our shirts so that VIZ
would have to pin on the collar, how
long would such shirt or suit stay il
the house2 Who would be responsible
for the language used by the man who
had to pin his coat? No tailor woulG
dare to so tempt the wrath of an indie
pendant man. But woman-elas! she
patiently pins on the dress that she paic
some one $50 or $40 to make, and doesn'
think anything about it. We will no
pursue this painful subject. Let tn,
women of America take it up and tbinl
about Ii, and learn, Ia the noble indie
pendence of womanhood, to make thei
clothes before they put them on.-Bur

Shocking Cruelty to Children.

Christian Schaeffer has been sent to
jail in Philadelphia for almost starving
his two children. The story came out
through the attempt of Josephine Schaef-
fer, aged fourteen, to end her life by
jumping into the Delaware river. She
was rescued by passing boat. Schaeffe1
is misery, repulsive man of thirty
five. He has lived for several years with
his two daughters in a dilapidated little
shanty in Salmon street, not tar from the
Bridesburg arsenal. Dirt, inches thick,
carpeted the floor. The only ventilation
was from door and a window, three of
whose panes were stuffed with old rags.
They had no visitors or friends, for
the father allowed no intercourse what
ever with the neighbors. They never
went to school or to church. The mans
only means of livelihood was catching
stray dogs, which he would i'll and boil
and render the fat. He compelled his
children to live on the meat of the dogs
he had killed. From their infancy he
had taught them to use the fat for but
ter, and they do not know the taste of real
butter. He made considerable money
from the selling of the dogs bones and
skins, but never spent cent except for
rags TO cover his chi.dren's backs or to
protect them from the cold when all
three lay down at night in the one mis-
cradle bed made of rough boards. At
meal time their dog meat Was poked out
of an old iron boiler and they sat on
boxes to eat it. The girls often contem-
plated suicide. They were put into the
hands of the Society for the Prevention
If Cruelty to Children.

For the Children to the Last.

During the progress of the plague in
Italy, poor woman living IN the village
of Careggi, the wife of laborer and the
mother Of two little boys, felt herself at
tackled by the fatal disease. 1t was dur
ing the absence of her hus band, WHO
worked at distance and only returned
on Saturday night. Frightened by the
example of nelghooring family, which
had one after another been swept entirely
off, and moved by the tondest love for
her children. she determined not to COM
municate the disease to them, and form
ed the heroic resolution of leaving her
home and going elsewhere to die. Hav-
ing locked them in room and sacrificed
to their safety even the last sole COM
fort of parting embrace, she ran down
stairs, carrying with her the sheets and
coverlet, that she might leave no means
of contaglon. She then shut the door
with a sigh and went away, but the ED
est of the children, hearing the door
shut, went to the window and called out
in voice so tender that she turned and
stopped. Goodbye, mother" and
"Good-bye, mother, repeated the young
est child, stretching its little head out of
the window. Thus the afflicted mother
was compelled for time to endure the
dreadful conflict between the yearnlng
which called her back, and tie pity and
love which urged her on. At length the
latter conquered, and amid a food of
tears and the fareweIs of her children,
who knew not the fatal meaning of those
tears, she reached the house of those
who were to bury her. To them she re-
commended her husband and children,
