whv 1t is Called a Cocktail.i

The Yetailer says the word cocktail ;s moi an aAmericanism, but word of very doubtful origin. Conjeetural ety- moiooists have traced it to the Meso, Gothic, the Chinese, the Cherokee, ana that it is of Sandwich Island orlgihi another that it is Gumbo; one ii:sss settlea it to his own satisfaction, GeitE<5 GeiittHE<, al.,a still another that Noah left the recipe 70 his son Shem, giving to the beverage the name Ko'kdal, written in the old Hebrew characters with the Massorctic. points. The probability is that the name and the beverage were invented by the mound builders, and the most prominent phlloi- ogists are inclining more and more 10 that opinion. The Retailer also gives the following information: "The cocktail IS made of brandy, gin, whisky or cham pagne, mixed with bitters, sugar and a small-very small-percentage of water. It is an early morning drink, and IS highly esteemed for its medicinal prop critics. A large proportion of those who use it habitually will never eat solid food until the flooring of the stomach has been overlaid with cocktails. There IS no time in a mans life when he is mere deserving of heartfelt sympathy than when, in condition of pecuniary col lapse, he craves morning cocktail and crayes in yain.n
The Russellville Democrat., 1881-02-24

The greatest gain in populatio1 for obvious reasons, is taking place in the far west, and when the next census is ready we shall find all of these States, with one exception, showing a popula- ton exceeding a million, while Texas will be likely to take its place among the six most populous States of the Union. Kansas also promises to rival Massachu- setts in the number of its inhabitants. Whereas there are now nineteen States with a population of over a million, and there are likely to be twenty-six in 1890.
 The growth of the population of the Union has been great and significant in the last ten years. We are gathering larger proportion of our inhabitants in cities than any other country, aud yet We still possess large areas of unoccupied land. Whereas in 1870 there were thirty-six cities with a population of 30,- 900 and over, the number has now in- creased to sixty-four. That is, about one-sixth of our population is now crowded together in these large cities. Fifty years ago, including all cities of 5000 inhabitants and over, the propor- tion was only one-sixteenth.
 This increasing tendency of popula- tion to aggregate in the great cities is one of the evils of modern civilization. It breeds social dangers, which our mu- nicipal systems are now proving them selves unable to cope, and it makes the question of city government one of the most serious with which the people have to deal.

A Joke on a Horse.
Detroit Free Press.


 One of the commission houses on Woodbridge street has horse which was the terror of every pedestrian who got within three feet of his head. The animal has teeth like shark, and up to few days ago, he'd bite everything within reach excepta pile of grindstones. Whipping had no effect, and he would get rid of muzzles as fast as they were put on. The firm had paid out consider able money to settle for his bites, and was wondering what they could sell him for, when along came man who guaran- teed cure for $5. He was told to 90 to work, and his first move was to get an old suit of clothes and to stuff it with straw. The horse was driven. down the street, and the suit was tied to hitching post, back to the street. A full pound of Cayenne pepper was then rubbed into and sprinkled over the garments and the straw stutfing, and the joke was ready. The horse came jogging back, and the driver left him standing within six feet of the man of straw. The old biter's eyes had a twinkle as he saw fine chance to use his teeth, and as soon as left alone he began edging towards the post. When ready for business he made a sudden lunge and caught the man" by the shoulder. That old horse meant wickedness, but he had surprise in store for him. As he lifted the figure off it's feet and his mouth, nose and eyes were filled with the smarting powder, great tears rolled down his long nose. he sneezed and snorted, and coughed, and was just as chagrined at the general laugh on him as a man would have been. He backed away from the remnants, opened his mouth to cool it, and hung his head in shame. He did not cease weeping for day, but when he got so that he could look the public square in the face he was a changed horse. Any body can pull his ears and rub his nose with impunity. He courts caresses where he defed them, and on the approach of stranger will shut his eyes and mouth as if feaIful of another dose.

N l.
 The superintendent of the census re- ports that the population of the United States is 5ll52,559 When the returns have been finally corrected some changes may be made in this total, but they will probably be slight. Our population in 1870 was 3S, ,55S, ,371. We have, there fore, gained in the ten years since then Il, ,594, ,lSS inhabitants. This is an in- crease nearly as great as the whole popu- lation fifty years ago.
 Compared with the great nations of Europe, the United States show great CT population than any, except Russia, which contains over 72,000,O00 inhabit- ants. Against our 50,152, ,559, Germany shows 42,727 ,360; Austria Hungary, 37, 33l APO France, 36,905, ,7s9; Great Brit ain and Ireland, 34,l60,O00; Italy, 27,- 969,475; Spain, 16,556,511. The total population of Europe is given by the Almdndeh de Gotsd as 311 ,763, 7l3. Hence we have even now only one-sixth as many inhabitants, though our area and that of Europe, as whole, are nearly equal
 The following table gives the first ad- ditions of the returns of the last census of the eight States of largest population, compared with the census of 1880:

How He Found He Had a Trotter,
New Orleans Picayune.

Stranger" said the stage-driver, "this was how I found out her speed: I was driving along the railroad track just as big load of hotel furniture started. The freight car wouldn't hold it all, but they managed to squeeze everything in ex- cept long bar mirror, which they tied to the side of the car. The mare saw her reflection in the glass, and thought it was another horse squirting for the lead. You couldn't have held her back with a steam windlass. She just laid back her ears and snorted along like a 20-inch shell. The passengers all began to get excited. They rushed out on the platforms and began to make bets. The conductor stood upon a seat and began too sell pools. The engineer pulled the throttle-valve wide open, and tore along at ninety-fye miles an hour. Soon the mare was abreast of the eowcatcher. At San Bruno we had half mile the lead.
 Near the Six-mile House the train was so much ahead of time that it fell through an open draw and everlastingly smashed dup-seventy-two killed and 199 wounded. IL was pretty rough on the passengers, but then we distanced the train, bet yer life. About month after l sold that mare to her present owner for S60,000.

A THEORY of planetary influence upon the weather changes of the earth has been advanced by R. G. Jenkins, F. .R.A.S, who thinks there is some disturbing influence akin to that commonly attributed to the waxing and waning of spots on the sun in the perturbations of the earth effected by the planet Venus in cycles of eight years. Mir Jenkins calculates that the great waves of cold which sweep over the earth occur, on an average, once in eight years. He also traces a connection between each arrival of the planet Jupiter at perihelion and the occurrence of an unusual heat wave every twelve years. A test of these theories by ref erence to past meteorological records in Western Europe does not tend to con firm their correctness.

Ar recent bird show in Berlin, Ger many, green canaries were exhibited. Others were red, light brown and gray. The variations of color had been caused by the daily use of cayenne pepper in their food. The pepper was at first given in small quantities, and the birds appeared to like it, but the feathers soon fell, giv- ing them moulting appearance. In a short time new feathers of divers colors sprouted. The variations were aseribed to the different qualities of the pepper and to the quantity given.

Hon. s. H. Yoder's Position. Das Noines Iowa State Register.

A representative mans opinion on other to his constituency. The Hon. S. H. Yoder, of Globe Mills, Pa, has thus recorded his opinion on a subject of popular interest: l have been selling St. Jacobs Oil for the last year. I have never heard a person speak ot it. except as a splendid medicine, and as the great specific for rheumatic affections, whether inflamatory, acute or chronic, swellings, sores, sprains, burns, wounds, etc. I sell more St. Jacobs Oil than of any other kind of liniment, and it gives uni versal satisfaction I will always keep it on hand. The farmers say, that for man and beast, they find nothing to equal it.

IN recent lecture on the photophone, in London. Mir. A. Graham Bell mem toned what he called an interesting fact for physicist to follow up. He said the experiments made by himself and his friend, Mir. Sumner Fainter, showed that all substances in the form of thin sheets emitted sounds when ex- posed te the action of an intermittent beam of light. Nearly every material tested produced sounds varying only in degree. Among them were paper, car bon, pine wood, cigars, and even tobacco smoke The sounds are supposed to be due to molecular changes effected by the luminous ray. This view is confirmed by the fact that feeble musical note was obtained from sulphuric ether, the experiment upon that liquid being per formed at the suggestion of Professor Tyndall.
