 Switzerland is uneasy about the large in crease in it's foreign population. Between 1870 and 1880 nearly SC, ,OOO natives of other countries settled within Swiss territory, and about the same number of natives of Switzer- land emigrated to other countrissy The for-z eign born population of the whole republic, as compared with the whole of the native born population, is only aabout+7 1-2 per cent. but in some distFfcts, especially those near the border lines it Is very much larger. h one canton the foreigners constitute 34, and in another 37 1s2 per cent. of the entire population. A slight increase in the foreign immigration and the native emigration will place the foreign residents in she majority, fact that probably would have no parallel in any other country, and might lead at times to serious difficulties. The Germans contrib ute the largest proportion of immigrants They number 95,262. There are 5, 5000 Frenchmen and Italians, and 12,7oo Aus trians.
 The list of pensioners of the United States will soon be ready for publication. The great objection to publishing this list is the use that the unscrupuloas pension agents will try to make of it. Nineteen hundred copies will be printed for Congress, and it is proposed to give each library and each news paper of any importance copy. and to put 8 copy in the office of each United States pension agent.

fulness. You are shown what ap.
pears at first sight to be the rude
statue of a woman clumsily hewn
out of wood. The guide noiselessly
opened it, one door swinging to the
right and the other to the left. The
statue was hollow and just the size Of
the average man. Inside were straps
by which the offender was bound SO
that he could not move n muscle. All
the doors were lined with long sharp
steel spikes, strong and thick. When
the victim was firmly secured the
door on the left was slowly but firmly
shut. and the long spikes went into
his body, two being SO arranged as to
pierce his eyes. Then the door on
the right was closed in similar
manner, and he would receive anoth-
er complement of spikes, the closing
of the doors being done very slowly,
that the torture of the man in the EN-
brace of the maiden might be as long
as possible. The very last spike
pierced his heart After remaining
shut up for awhile the straps were
unloosened from the outside, a spring
was touched and the man fell fifteen
feet into cleverly constructed ma
chine that ground him up as fine as
mince. meat and dropped him into the
river below, making food for the
fishes.

ABOUT IGNORANCE.

There were in the United States in
1880, according to ono of the late
census bulletins, 36. 16l,607 persons
of ten years of age and upward. OF
these, 1929, 45l. or a little over thir-
teen per cent, were returned as I'M
able to read. and 6,239, 968, or seven
teen per cent, as unable to write.
The proportion Of illiteracy may
seem high for country which boasts
Of its free and general education, but
it is much less than that in the chief
European nations, with the excep-
ton of Germany. Acco. ding to the
latest statistics on the subject at
hand, the proportion of those unable
to read or write in England is 33
per cent: in France, 30 per cent. !;
and in Germany, IL per cent.
And with us about half of the il
lite racy is among the blacks, who have
only recently emerged from slavery,
and of whom only the young have
yet been able to benefit to any con
siderable extent by our school system
Ont Of 4,G0l,207 colored persons in
the United States in 1880 of ten years
of age and upward, 3,220,S78 We're
unable to write, and the whole num-
Der, black and white, SO illiterate was
only G.239,95S. In other words,
while only 81 per cent. of the whites
above that age were unable to write,
the proportion among the negroes
was the great one Of 10 per cent
Besides, we had in 1880 a foreign
born population of ten years and
over which was enumerated at 6.37t.
Gil. Twelve per cent of these could
not write, while of the native white
population only ST per cent. were
thus incapable. This brings what
We may call our normal illiteracy
down to very low proportion as
compared with nearly every other
country in the world, though the
proportion of illiteracy in the State
of Bavaria is reported at only I per
cent.
The proportion of illiteracy would,
of course, be greatest at the South,
for at the South the still uneducated
negroes are almost entirely gathered.
The rich are rich because the poor
are industrious.

TAFFY.

A correspondent asks. What is
taffy?" Is it possible that there is a
person living who doesn't know what
taffy is. What are you giving us?
When politician wants office, he
takes the stump and tells the people
how intelligent they are, and how
proud he will be to represent such an
enlightened constituency on the floor
of Congress. That is taffy. When
lecturer winds up a tedious dis
course with an extravaganza puff of
the town and its people, assuring them
tn 1t he has rarely addressed an as
sembly on whose countenances intel
ligence had SO indelibly set its mark,
and that it will be the proudest day
Of his life when he can return and
again appear before them, it is taffy
that he is giving them. When
foreign actress comes to America to
coin money from us, and as the band
plays yankee Doodle" as they steam
up New York harbor, and tells the re-
porters who flock around how dearly
she loves the land of the free and the
home Of the kna-we mean brave. she
is administering taffy in the very larg-
est doses. When manager has
humping benefit and is called out to
make speech. he will scatter enough
taffy to run the candy stand of
circus an entire season. When an
editor heads an article TO our
friends and patrons" you may be
sure that taffy will flow as rapidly as
pen can travel You see that young
man sitting close to a young lady in
park, talking earnestlys One hun
bred dollars to cent he is giving
her tatfy. Tatfy keeps the wheel of
business moving No drummer
would think of starting out without
a full supply of it. Diplomats use
it. and crowned heads are no more in
different to it than the peasant in
his cabin. Taffy rules the camp,
the court, the in short, the
world runs on taffy- Gin. Sat. Night.

The facts with regard to the shoot
ing of Bruce were published in the
san of week ago last Monday. On
the afternoon of Sunday, the 18th
inst, a shot was heard in Park row,
and Immediately after a thin man
limped across the road to Frankfort

New YORK, Feb. 14-There has been
little of interest in the stock market to-day.
A gradual decline from opening figures
was the programme during the morning,
the only elements of strength being Illinois
Central, which at one time touched AS;
and Alton and Terre Haute, which sold at
6715, an advance of 2 per cent. from last
evening. Delaware 81 Lackawanna was
offered in considerable amounts by the
bears, and sold down to 11815. Union
Pacific was comparatively steady at about
80, while Central Pacific broke below 80
several times, and rumor had it that the
stock was on the eve of a
serious break. Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy ranged between 119@118. Its
friends claim that it is reasonable pur-
chase at present figures. They scout the
idea that dividends in the future will be at
less rate than 8 per cent, and promise
better figures for it later in the year.
There was no animation in the final deal
ings. Manipulators appeared to supply
stocks on every rally.

of white. Future deliveries were active
and tending strongly to higher prices,with
deliveries for future 94@1c above yester-
day. A further gain of $50 was made in
the later dealings.
Rye was quotably stronger, and there
was quite an improvement in the tone OF
the trade, with No. 2 salable at GIG and
samples were quotably firm.
Barley was hardly mentioned, with no
sales noted for futures, but with cash sell
ing we'll and doing better than heretofore
for samples. No. 2 cash was firm at S5c,
and No. at sac, with samples doing quite
well.
The speculative demand for hog pro
ducts was moderately active and the offer
ings were fair. The market exhib-
tied a fair degree of steadiness
and prices averaged higher for all
the leading descriptions. Shipping in
quiry rather light, foreign advices
showed a fair degree of steadiness in that
quarter, and the Eastern markets were
without material change. Inc receipts OF
produce were fair, and the shipments of
all kinds understood to be quite liberal.
The offerings of mess pork were fair and
the demand moderately active. Prices
exhibited very little change, and closed
steady. The demand for lard was quite
active and the offerings liberal. Prices
were frmer and advanced 5910c
per 100 pounds, and closed steady
at medium figures. Cash quiet.
Pork was in good request and 215@5c
higher on call, while lard held steady to
the price established on the board. The
24,O0O live hogs arriving to-day did not
average as good quality as usual. The de-
mand was active on packing and shipping
account, with prices steady and IN
changed.

are never initiated or counterJeited. This is es-
pecially true of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop B1tters
was the purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung up
and began to steal the notices in which the press
and people of the country had expressed the
merits of H. B., and in every way trying
to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff
instead, expecting to make money on the credit
and good name of H. B. Many others
started nostrums put up in similar style to H.
B., with variously devised names in which
the word Hop or ''Hops'' were used in way
to induce people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies OF
cures, no matter what their style or name is, and
especially those with the word Hop or 'Hops''
in their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations or coun-
terfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of
them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters,
with bunch or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists
and dealers are warned against dealing in imita-
lions Of 81. nterfeits.
