The New York Herald has fallen
into the common error that the center
of population is moving westward.
The. Atlanta Constitution, on the con-
trary, maintains it is moving west by
southwest, steadily toward the Missis-
sippi, steadily toward the gulf. The
center Of population was on Southern
soil in 100. 1t is there to-day. During
the war decade, from 1860 to 1870. it
moved northw estward, but this has
been the only exception. 1t must be
.r~ecollected, too, that the South has
sent hundreds of thousands to the
West and Northwest, but even with
this drain such States as Arkansas and
Texas within the past five years have
equalled and surpassed in growth Of
population such States as Minnesota.
Old and well settled States like Virgin
ia, the Carolinas and Georgia show a
rapid increase. Even without immi-
grafton the South would hold her popu-
lation because her families are 30 much
larger and more prolific.

Compressed Coal.

Some interesting particulars are given
by M. Escalle, director of the import
ant works at Tamaris, in regard to the
employment of blocks of compressed
coal, in lieu of coke, for blast furnaces.
With the ores of the country, which
are argilo-silicious and small, the guam
tity of compressed fuel employed is
twenty per cent, but with those of
Motka or Pilhais it reaches regularly
thirty per cent. 1t has been found that
by the use of these blocks much
higher temperature of hot blast is OBJ
tanned, and that the proportion of COM
bustible consumed-coke and COM
pressed fuel included-per ton Of PIC
iron produced is less than with coke
alone. NJ. Escalle attributes this re-
suit to the quantity of water, one and
one-half per cent, contained in the
compressed coal blocks used by him,
as well as to the nature of the volatile
matters. The volume of gas obtained
per ton of the compressed fuel, at these
works, was about seven thousand feet.

The Value of the Percheron Stud
Book of France.

It contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about five thousand of
the best bred Perchcrons, and none
but the produce of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom, ''Like begets like or the likeness
of some of its ancestors. From this
alone the most obtuse mind will readily
perceive that knowledge of those
ancestors is as necessary to the sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of the
animal himself Stud books are histo-
ries of the individuals of breed, and
are, therefore, the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be, individually,
can only be ascertained by experiment
This is the reason why animals of es-
tabliGhed pedigrees, tracing through a
line of excellent ancestry, always com
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value of
pedigrees, or opposing improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion.

from France, Of whose origin nothing

Washington as a Spectator.

George Washington, when President
of the United States, made some invest
ments in real estate in the city which
bore his name, then being laid out in
the woods. He purchased two lots in
square 634, north of the Capitol Con
which the elongated buildings Of Ad-
miral Wilkes stand), for 1868, although
he says in note to his wise: ''But in
this price l was favored, on condition
that | should build two brick houses,
three stories high each. Without this
reduction, the selling price of those lots
would have cost me about 81, $50. These
lots, with the buildings thereon, when
completed, will stand me in $4,000 at
least" George Washington also be-
longed to ''real estate pool" that pur-
chased large quantity of land on the
eastern branch, which they hoped to
make a commercial quarter of the
metropolis. Washington owned lots
Nos. 5, 12, IA and Is, the last three
water lots in square 667, containing to-
gether "a, 43S square feet. These he de-
scribed as "advantageously situated, and
valued at twelve cents the square foot. -

Heln 70 Good Dipestion.

In the British Medical Journal DR.. ". Rob.
erts, Of England, discusses the effect of
liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
All Of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions. Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly Injurious
to salivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert a retarding influence. They
stimulate the glandular and muscular ac-
tivity Of the stomach. Effervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with
the least harm to digestion. When ones
digestion is out of order everything goes
awry, unless, as in the case Of T. T. Seals,
of Bellaire, Ohio, who had had bad dys-
pepsia for seven years, the digestive appar-
atus is kept in apple-pie eating order by
Warmers Tippecanoe, the best appetite
producer and regulator in the world.
Tea, even in minute quantities, complete
ly paralyzes the action of the salivA. The
tannin in strong tea is injurious. Weak
tea should be used, if at all. Strong coffee
and cocoa are also injurious if used in ex-
cess.-The Cosmopolitan.

REPTILES.
Reason Why They Are Inaccessible to HUI
man Sympathy.

Reason Why They Are Inaccessible to HUI
man Sympathy.
A reptile is not, perhaps, an amiable
thing. Its name-''that which creeps"
prejudices one against it, We would
as soon make friends off-hand with a
ghoul or vampire as with a reptile.
Nor is there anything thoroughly un-
justifiable in this sentiment. The ne
cessities of speech require word that
shall compendiously express the idea
of the contemplate and crawling, and
at the same time potentially hurtful.
And "reptile" fulfils this obnoxious
duty. So when Beattie applies this
term of reproach to servile poet, or
Byron to mean critic, they are not to
be found fault with. The sycophant in
Shelley, the slave in Montgomery, even
man-"the poor reptile man" himself
in loftily moralizing Groome are
metaphorically rendered, and not un-
fairly, by term that zoologically
implies either turtle, a crocodile, a
frog, lizard or snake. Scattered up
and down in verse will be found scores
of individuals whom the poets, anxious
to stigmatize as despicably base,. de.
nominate reptiles"
Now, all this is perfectly fair. We
have attached to certain word Ger.
tain metaphorical meaning, which is a
very odious one. Thus. Bismarck calls
the secret-service budget "the reptile
fund.-" and the Man of Iron includes in
it all such miserable creatures as venal
editors and spies. The self-seeking
parasite, the insidious hypocrite, the
cringing slave, deserve the worst we
can say of them, and as we have de-
'cided that there is nothing worse to be
said of such than reptile-reptiles let
them be.-Gemtlenaaa's Magazine.

Interview with Mr.. Wilson Soule, Large
Representative Advertiser, as to Its Ben
efitS.
[From the New Haven Comm Sunday Union,
Oct. Is, 1851
Mr.. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing
Company, has been spending the last two
days here, arranging his advertising mat
ters, and was interviewed by UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth OF
newspaper advertising. He said that for
the four years previous to 1873 they spent
all their money in bill posting and circu-
lars, from which they received no profit; in
fact they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.
In the spring of 1878 they placed an ad-
yertising order Of $4,000 with H. P Hub
bard, of New Haven. The results were
sales of 100000. They increased the ad-
vertising the fol following year to 100000, the
spent $120,000, with S4S000O sales, and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
creased, as also the sales. They argue from
this that nothing but simon pure newspaper ad-
oertising, judicioasly and thoroughly applied, is
TIE Sure road to success.

THE PYRoPHoRE.
Natures Electric Light and How It Car
Re Deod

Natures Eleotrlc Light and How II Can
BE Used.
At recent meeting of the Academy
of Sciences, at Paris, pelate hall filed
with water, in which were half a dozen
insects about an inch in length, which
shone like diamonds, although the room
was filled with sunshine, was passed
around among the members. These in
sects had been brought from Mexico,
where they are to be found in the for
ests Their scientific name is the
pyrophore; and, as none had ever been
seen before in Europe, they created
quite sensation. The light resembles
that of a glow worm or fire fly, al
though as much more brilliant and in
tense as an electric lamp surpasses
a wax taper in its power of illumina-
ton. When the light begins to fade, it
can be made as brilliant as before by
shaking the insect, or dipping it in
water. 1t is said the Indians
of Mexico use them for a
light at night, as few will suffice to il
Illuminate an entire room. When they
are walking at night, they put one on
each foot, so that they can be sure of
their way, and also that they do not
step upon any venomous snake or rep
tile with which the tropical forests
abound. The Mexican ladies buy them
of the Indians, and inclose them in a
transparent bag, which they wear in
their hair or at the neck. The effect is
very beautiful, especially when several
are worn; and, as the Indians sell them
for a few cents dozen, they are within
the reach of every fair one. They are
fed on sugar-cane, and, if well taken
care of, will live long time. One

A LADY.s JOURNEY.

Madam Knights Adventure on Trip Be-
tween Boston and New York One Hum
dred and Eighty Years Ago.
On "Monday, October We second, y
one hundred and eighty-one years
ago, a Boston lady undertook a
journey to New York City, an ac-
count of which was published in 1925
from diary in the authors own hand
writing, ''being faithful record Of
Madam Knights adventures over that
tract Of country, where she travelled
about fortnight on horseback under
the direction of hired guide. ;"
That madam was regarded as rather
odd is evident from the reception she
received on the first night after start
ing. II was interrogated, she writes,
"by q young lady, understood after
ward was the eldest daughter of the
family, with these words: Law for
NEE! What in the world brings You
here at this time of night? | never
see woman on the Rode so Dreadful
late, in all the days Of my versall life.
Who are You? Where are You going?
Tine scar'd out of my Wits. -
Madam Knight arrived in New Ha-
ven October 7, where she "was re-
ceived with all possible respects and
civility."
On December she writes: Being
by this time well recruited and rested
after my journey, my business lying
unfinished by some concerns at New
York depending thereupon, my kins-
man, Mr.. Thomas Trowbridge, of New
Haven, must needs make journey
there before it could be accomplished,
resolved to 60 there in company with
him and man of the town which /
engaged to wait on me there"
Madam seems to have been much
pleased with New York, where she
made many acquaintances among the
good women of the city, ''who cour-
teously invited me to their houses and
generously entertained me-" And her
description of the city at that time is
well worth reading. She says: 1.-The
Cittie of New York is pleasant, we'll

modious River which is fine harbor
for shipping. Their Diversion in the
WiHCcI Is hiulHS OlcyS duOut tHIcc VI

have Houses of entertainment ata place
called the Bowery, and 60 to some
friends Houses who handsomely treat
them. Mr.. Burroughs cary d his spouse

that they'le turn out of the path for
none except Loaded Cart. Nor dc
they spare for any diversion the place
afford and sociable to a degree, they I
Tables being as free to thar Naybours
as to themselves.
''And now," she adds, Having
transacted the affair I went upon and
some other that fell in my way, after
about fortnight's stay there / left
New York with no Little regrett. -

The Poor Little Ones.

We often see children with red eruptions
on face and hands, rough, scaly skin and
often sores on the head. These things indi-
cate depraved condition of the blood. In
the growing period, children have need of
pure blood by which to build up strong and
healthy bodies. If Dr. Pierce's "Golden
Medical Discovery is given, the blood is
purged of its bad elements, and the child IS
development will be healthy, and as it
should be. Scrofulous affections, ricketts,,
fever-sores, hip-joint disease or other grave
maladies and suffering are sure to result
from neglect and lack of proper attention
to such cases.
