FACTS AND FIGURES.

--Ohio manufactured over four mill
ion pounds of plug tobacco last year.
There are fifty-two breweries in
Brooklyn which produce 100000 kegs
of lager annually. and paid a revenue
OF $1,000, 900. a. T. Times.
The corn crop of Texas this year is
estimated at $40, 100000 bushels. The
value of the agricultural products ofthat
State is S94,071, 998. - Chicago Tribune.
Two ninety-foot lathes, said to be
the largest in the world have been
made for their own use by the South
Boston Iron-works. Each lathe con-
tains 100000 pounds of iron, and is in

The crop of Indian corn is one of
the most important and valuable in the
United States. The crop of 1880 was
estimated at LIZ, 900, 900 bushels; the
wheat crop of the same year was esti-
mated at 49S, 900, 600 bushels. 1t must
be considered the staple crop of the
Western and Southwestern States. In
1880, Illinois produced 100000 900
bushels, as against 10000, 600 bushels
of wheat. The acreage of corn in Kan

How to Stop Bleeding.

If a man is wounded so that blood
flows, that flow is either regular, or by
jets or spurts. If it flows regularly, a
vein has been wounded, and string
should be bound tightly around below
the wounded part, that is, beyond it
from the heart. If the blood comes out
by leaps or jets, an artery has been sew
cred, and the person may bleed to death
in Anew minutes; to prevent which apply
the cord above the wound, that is, be-
tween the wound and the heart, In case
a string or cord is not at hand, tie the
two opposite corners of a handkerchief
around the limb, put stick between and
turn it round until the handkerchief is
twisted sufficiently tight to stop the
bleeding, and keep it SO until physician
can be had. Household. ',,. rt;f
