The Swiss Way.

In the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland,
every country schoolmaster is required
to know something of agriculture and
natural history, to the end that he may
instruct his pupils therein. Every vii
lage has its night school, in which lads
and young men who have attended the
communal school the required term
until the completion otstheir thirteenth
year-may obtain furthsr inatruotion in
matters relating to their calling; and,
during the winter, lectures are given in
the village school-rooms-sometimes in
thevillage churches-by professors from
the university, on agricultural, chemis-
try and kindred subjects.

" Radpersv and ss Suckers y

The term Badger" applied co the
people and State of Wisconsin, arose in
a singular way. In the lead regions, in
early times, there were two classes lof
miners-those who remained at the
mines the year round and those who
came up from Illinois to operate only
during the summer. The permanent
residents were accustomed to dig bur.
rows in the hillside, where they cooked
and slept, while the Illinois itinerants
lived in pits. The residents, therefore,
were called "Badgers' on account of
their burrows, and to the nlinoisans
was applied the term "suckers," be-
cause their migrations coincided in
time with that of the suckers in the
river, which appeared in the spring of
the year and went away in the fall.
Both of these cognomens have stuck
and are at the present time in general
nae u. s,Ee r.

Advertising.

The trouble with great many busi-
ness men is, says an exchange, that
they try a I" dash in the pan" method
of advertising, and because single
appearance of their advertisement in
print does not bring in a regular throng
of customers, they conclude that adver-
tising does not pay. Advertising does
pay. Every man engaged in legiti-
mate busin ess ought to, be liberal,
careful advertiser. This is branch OF
ones business that is sadly neglected.
Many men who spend much money IN
advertising are very careless about their
method of applying their money.

WORLDS Coal supply.

Er6uen slallstlclRn na6 recently
Usens engaged IN ascertaining the
amount Of coal produced by the entire
world in a given year, the area Of the
icoalaelds Of the countries of the world
in square miles, the labor employed in
the industry, etc. He has chosen the
year 1880, probably because it was the
latest Of which he was able to obtain
reliable figures, In that year 294, ,O0O,-
900 tons were produced throughout the
world, being 1OO,OOO,O 600 tons more
than were produced in 1859. or this
Great Britain produced one-half, with
484 1888 men, each man producing 303
tons. The other countries employed
735, 900 men to produce their half, each
man producing 200 tons. The total
wages OF the. 1,21s, ,983 men employed
aIe estimated at 100000, 900 sterling,
giving an average cost for labor OF As.
per ton The value per ton Of coal in
Great Britain is stated to be 6s. lid.
This gives atatal value of :s46, ,539, ,904
to the $4,000, ,O@ tons produced in that
country. The 147,oQO,Ooo tons pro-
duced by the other countries are
valued at 8s. Sd. per ton, which
gives total value of e61,74b000. It
is estimated that these amounts must be
at least doubled to get at the cost % the
consumer, including the charge iQr
transportation and the profit Of the
middlemen, SO that the aggregate value
of the coal consumed during the year
in question may be given at e220, ,00O,-
600 sterling. Next to Great Britain
Belgium is the greatest coal-producing
country. The United States and France
produce nearly equal quantities.
The future coal supply OF the world
must be drawn from the United States,
if We are to believe; the figures before
us, for the coal fields of this country
have an area of 1se,65O square miles,
while all other al-producing countries
put together have only an area of 16, 49A
square miles. The English North
American colonies have 1850 and
Great Britain 5,4O0 square miles,
France and Prussia each having 8
little over 900, while Belgium
GUM has $40. With the'great increase
in the production of coal an increase
has been noted in the development ot
railways and the iron industry. The
production of iron has indeed increased
at faster rate than the production Of
coal, for whilst coal has increased fifty
per cent. between 1869 and 1880, iror
has increased sl1ty-one per cent. This.
however, we are told, is due to the
greater economy of fuel which has
been effected in the manufacture o.
| iron. -

The Names of the States.

New Hampshire gets its name from
Hampshire, England. Massachusetts is
derived from an Indian name, first given
to the bay, signifying smear the great
hills" Rhode Island has an obscure
origin, the Island of Rhodes, the
"Island of the Rhodes" and Dutch
origin, "Red Island" the first seeming
to have the best historical support.
Connecticut is an Indian name, signify
ing "land on q long tidal river" Vir-
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia have
royal origin. Maine was named from
the fact that it vas supposed to contain
the "mayne portion" " Of New England.
Vermont hasno especial question, except
that it is claimed to have been first an
alias-New Conne cticut, alias Vermont.
Kentucky probably signifies either ga
dark and bloody ground" or a "bloody
river" or "the long river" Tennessee

of q tribe. Michigan is claimed to mean

from the name Of the lake, "Great
Lake." which bore this name before the
land adjacent was named. Louisiana
is from the French. Arkansas and Mis-
souri, are from the Indian, the former
being doubtful /; the latter is claimed to
mean in its origin ''muddy water" which
described the river. Iowa is also Ind IN
with double meaning. Texas is po l.
larly thought to be Indian, but may ,e
Spanish. Florida is Spanish, "a f. W
cry land" Oregon has conjeotural
origin. It is probably Indian, but a
Spanish origin is claimed. California
comes from Spanish romance of 1910

It seems that in 1871 General Lafayette,
with the immortal Washington, was
making tour through the northern
portion Of New York State, and one
evening, near nightfall, they lened
up at neat and comfortable look
ing inn, which was kept by Mr. James
Haskins. Here the distinguished guests
ktarried for week. Just before reaum-

With another Of her sons, near Penn

an octogenarian, Mrs. Bunell has re-
tanned her mental faculties wonderfully,
and seoites some facts in connection
with this horseshoe which are certainly

The Zodiac.

Very few people know the signifca-
tion of the various signs peculiar to the
title page of the almanac, and some Of
them are not exactly clear to US.
In the first instance, the man who
stands in the center with his vest un-
buttoned in such manner as to expose
his alimentary canal, has only been
mystery to us. Why in every
ain, snao for the past century this
man, with all his works exposadf to
the cold night air, in a ita.l erk
/ IKE Ine almanac, should be given the
most prominent place, we are unable to
clearly understand. he certainly can
claim no great degree of consideration
for this act. It does not entitle him to
any amount of prominence. for the
public do not thirst for man who has
made an autopsy of himself and is ap.
parertly proud Of it. What the planets
have to do with the cardiac orifice We
do not at this moment know positively,
or why astronomy and the gastric juices
should have anything in common.
Again we must come out and confess
our ignorance as to the bearing that the
ram or the tarantula, or the twins, or
the crab, or other astronomical delirium
tremens may have upon the weather.
OF course it is stupidity and we ought
to be ashamed of it, but We are in that
fix and We cannot help it. When our
son gets old enough to look into these
things we will see that he isn't left to
grope along through life and make a
moral show of himself as his father has,
