Big and Little Heads.

Rev. Mr.. Cake paused in the midst
of his sermon last night TO remark
Gust after a party had gone out of the
house, that there were two kinds of
heads in the house-there were some
heads as large as his and could listen
as long as he could talk, but there
were others whose heads were consid-
erably smaller and got filed early in
the progress of the preaching, and
these went out of the house. Nobody
left the churcl during the sermon.

The Farms of America.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, the iron man
ufacturer of Pittsburgh, Pa, in his book
entitled Triumphant Democracy" says
OF the farms of America: "The farms
of America comprise S37, CPS square
miles, an area nearly equal to one-fourth
of Europe, and larger than the four
greatest European countries put togo
Their Russia eXcepicd), namely France,
Germany, Austria and Hungary,
and Spain. The capital invested in ag-
riculture would suffice to buy up the
whole of Italy, with its rich olive groves
and vineyards, its old historic cities,
cathedrals, and palaces, its king and
aristocracy, its Pope and cardinals, and
every other fuedal appurtenance. Or,
if the American farmers were to sell
out, they could buy the entire PENN
sula of Spain, with all its traditions Of
medieval grandeur, and the flat lands
which the Hollanders at vast cost have
wrested from the sea and the quaint
old towns they have built there. If he
chose to put b. his savings for three
years, the Yankee farmer could pur-
chase the fee simple of pretty Switzer-
land rs Il summer resort, and not touch
his capital at all, for each years earn
ings exceed $3.50, 900, 600. The cereal
crop for 1880 vas more than $500, 000,-
600 bushels. If placed in one mass
this would make n pile of 3, 800, 600, 600
cubic feet, or n pyramid three times rs
great as that of Cheops. If loaded on
carts it would require all the horses in
Europe and 1000, 600, moro (33, 500,-
000) TO remove it. though each horse
drew Il load of two tons. Were the en-
tire crop of cereals loaded on II contin-
o train of cars. the train would reach
one and n half times around the globe.
Its value is half rs great as all the gold
mined in California in the thirty-iive
years since gold was found there. The
corn and cotton fields of America form
Kingdoms in themselves surprising in
size some of those in Europe.
