A Stormy Year.

1888 has come in like lion, and it Ii
to be hoped it will 60 out like lamb.
1t has been distinguished hitherto by the
violence of the elements. We have had
great floods, both in Europe and the
United States. There have been "bliz-
yards" tempests, violent snow-storms.
and earthquakes, and the atmospheric
disturbances have extended throughout
the globe. It is remarkable, by the
way, that during the reign of storms
the number of sun-spots was unusually
large. Meteorologists are beginning to
think that there is really some relstion
between these eruptions on the face Of
the sun and the atmospheric disturb
ances on this planet. Nor is this all;
the number of distinguished dead is un-
usually large. There is, however, one
consolation; pestilence, once SO justly
dreaded, are now very rare. True, this
country has seen epidemics Of cholera
and yellow fever, but plaques, the black
death of the middle ages, and the pest
licences so common in all history, are
unknown to this generation. 1t has
been found to be within the limits d
human providence to stamp out contagi-
Gus diseases, and prevent their spread.
No doubt, when the twentieth century
is well advanced, sanitary science will
be so far perfected as not only to vard
off pestilences, but to prevent great
many deaths which now needlessg oc-

The Demand for Fresh Rntter.

The gilt-edge butter of the present
dav, that which commands the highest
price, both in this country and in
Europe, is but slightly salted. The
popular taste is in the direction of fresh
parcels. The greatest drawback in the
production of butter of this character is
its lack of keeping qualities. l. COM
mands a fancy price, yet if not consum-
ed at once rancidity is developed, and it
must be sold at the price of lard. If
heavily salted it will not sell to the best
trade; hence the problem which is to be
solved by ''Rex Magnus" is one of vast
Importance The butter markets of this
country to-day are groaning under the
heavy weight of summer made butter
already oily, rancid and unstable, ex-
cept at low prices. While fresh cream
cry butter commands 40 cents per pound,
some summer dairies, originally prime,
are going begging for customers at Is to
20 cents per pound. Who can estimate
the pecuniary advantage to dairymen of
any system of preservation by which
June butter may be continued sweet and
aromatic during the yearp Who can
predict the revolution in dairying which
is sure to follow any method by which
the surplus dairy products, so economi-
cally secured during the flush of sum-
mer pastures, can be preserved for sale

The Right Sort of Man.

You, will find, as a rule, that the men
who are favorites with men, are the best
and truest in their relations to women.
Yes, the men who like sometimes to
turn their backs on all women, and ''go
off with the other fellows" and have
good boyish time ON the water, OF the
mountain, or in some other mans
''den. Women need never be afraid
to trust their happiness to those whom
other good men esteem good fellows;
but if a man is avoided by men, shun
him. 1t is he who has firtations that
come to nothing, and has mot been
very nicen to the girls who have broken
their engagements with him; who, when
he marries. wrings his wife's heart, if
she has one, and spoils her temper, if
she is naturally an angel, Manly men
are the best lovers, the best husbands,
the best companions for women-just as
womanly women are the best sweet
hearts and wives. What do we think of
women who are Stunned by their own
sex, however charming men may find
them? It is seldom, if ever, that your
mems favorite ill-uses his wife. Per
haps it may be explained in this way:
Friendship of sublimer sort is what
love becomes after year or so of mar
riage, and he who is friendly to the
very depths of his soul, enters into this
state happily, and is ready for all the
delights that follow. But the man who
is capable OF nothing but a tleeting af-
lection which ever pursues new objects,
and cares for no woman when she is
won, hates the domestic ties, and be-
comes dotnStahIe in con SpuIIpnce tt is
the man who would die for his friend,
and for whom his friend would die, who
makes miracnlously happy wife of the
woman TO whom he scarcely knew how
to make love to when he courted her.

Newspaper Circulation.

The Paris Figaro, which published
Prince Jerome Napoleon's manifesto,
issued 100000 copies containing it. a
circulation Of 100000 and $50, 900 is not
uncommon in London or Paris paper,
but it is very rare, if ever, that these
figures are reached by our metropolitan
journals. Our population is not homo
geneous. New York, for instance, con-
tains more Germans than any second
class German city. Then it has more
Irish than any city in Ireland except
Dublin. And so, all our large cities
have numerous foreign-speaking pop
ulation. Hence the smaller circulation
of our daily journals is somewhat due
to the impediments of language. Some
of our weekly papers have had very
large circulation but the populations OF
Great Britain and France being more
compact, there is greater field in those
countries for either daily or weekly jour
nails than in the United States. By the
next century, however, when this coun-
try contains over 100,000,000 of inhab-
itants, the circulation of our journals
will far exceed those published on the
other side of the ocean, for our native
population will not only be relatively but
absolutely larger. This is destined to be
great country for journalists, who will
become more powerful eventually than
any other class in the country.

The recording of the different types OF

bring several novel cases. In New York,
an old man of seventy years hung him.

close by the grave of his long departed
wife. In Brooklyn, a young man, who had
lost policy of 81 900 by the failure of a
life insurance company, stuck his head
in washtub full of suds, and held it
there till he died. These are strange
causes, but from San Francisco comes
one wholly sui geaaeris-unmatched, sc
far as we know, in the history of suicides.
A forlorn wife, burdened with domestic
cares and disguised with life, determined
to depart for better world, and took
for that purpose a bottle of corrosive
sublimate from the closet where the
family drugs were kept. Composing
herself carefully on the bed, she drained
at one gulp a large goblet full, dropped
the glass to the floor, and folded her
hands on her breast, awaiting death.
