Me itI.C CalIod a cooktnll.I :

The Retailer says the word cocktail
is not an "Americanism, but a word Of
very doubtful origin. Conicctural ety.
mologists have traced it TO the Muso-
Gothic, the Chinese, the Cherokee, and
that it is Of Sandwich Island origin;
another that il is Gumbo; one has settled
it 10 his own satisfaction, Celtic; and
still another that Noah left the recipe 10
his son Shcm. giving 90 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 philol-
ogists are inclining more and more TO
that opinion. The RciqHcr also gives the
following information: "The cocktail is
made of brandy, gin, whisky or cham
payne, mixed with bitlers, sugar and a
small-yery small-percentage Of water.
1t 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 ilooringof the stomach has been
overlaid with cocktails. There is no
time in mans life when he is more
deserving of heartfelt sympathy than
when, in condition of pecuniary col
lapse, he Graves a morning cocktail and
Graves in vain"

The greatest gain in population, for
obvious reasons, is taking place in the
FIR 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 q 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 a
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 80
600 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 proper
ton was only Y one-sixteenth.
This increasing tendency of popula-
ton to aggregate in the great cities is
one of the evils of modern civilization.
II 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.

OUR POPULATION.
A Comparison with the Great Nations Of
Europe.

The superintendent Of The census re-
ports that the population Of the United
States is 50, l52 $50. 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,j5s,37l. We have, there
fore, gained in the ten years since then
II, ,59i,l ,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 a great
er population than any, except Russia
which contains over 72,0o00OO inhabit-
ants. Against our 501525j9, Germany
shows 2,727 $50; Austria-Hungary. 81
33l APO; France, SG,905, ,7S0; Great Brit
ain and Ireland. 34lG00OO; Italy, 27.-
969,475; Spain, l6,556,5ll. The total
population Of Europe is given by the
AimdHach de GOTTA as 3ll,763.7l3.
Hence we have even now only one-sixth
as many inhabitants, though our area
and that of Europe, as q whole, are
nearly equal.

ditions Of the returns of the last census

A Joke on "A Horse.
Detroit Free Press.


One of the commission houses on
Woodbridge street has a 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 a man who guaran-
teed a cure for s.. 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 10 a hitching
post, back TO the street. a full pound of
Cayenne pepper was then rubbed into
and sprinkled over the garments and the
straw stufling, 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 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
of its feet and his mouth, nose and eyes
were filed 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 rs 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 changed horse. Any
body can pull his ears and rub his nose
with impunity. lie courts caresses where
he defied them, and on the approach Of
stranger will shut his eyes and mouth
as if fe0Ilul of another dose.

A THEORY of planetary influence upon
the weather changes of the earth has been
advanced by Il. G.. jenkins, + FR.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. Mr. 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 10 past meteorological records in
Western Europe does not tend to con-
firm their correctness.

THERE can be no doubt whatever but
that there is a great deal in dreams

Is TO go to dreaming 10 become rich, be-

greater or lesser grades Of fortune. Buy

business. The first thing he dreamed

driving along the railroad track Just as a
big load of hotel furniture started. The
freight ear wouldn't hold it all, but they
managed to squeeze everything in ex-
cept a 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 seat and began
too sell pools. The engineer pulled the
throttle-yalve wide open, and tore along
at ninety-fve 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 up-seventy-two killed and 1879

IN a recent lecture on the photophone,
in London Mr.. 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, Mr.. Sumner Tainter,
showed that all substances in the form
of thin sheets emitted sounds when ex-
posed ts 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.
