Some Startling Figures.

If the men of the United States
would give up the pernicious and
MISUNDERSTANDING habit of
wearing tails on their coats it is es-
timatedahat enough would be saved
the country in single year to pay
the national debt.
Those who have given the subject
attention tell us that if the people Of
this grand country of ours would en-
tirely give up the habit Of paying
their bills that the national debt
could be liquidated inside of ten
hours. Why will intelligent men re
main slaves to such habits2
1t is stated that the sum Of $l2, 000,-
900 is annually spent in this country
on the single item of lager beer.
Could this be saved it would in a
very short time pay the national debt.
Besides that, it would give the $780,
600 prohibition farmers who are now
raising the barley more time to vote.
A prominent business man of New
York offers, if he is given the money
spent in this country for single year
on the two distinct items of cigars
and tobacco, to redeem whatever this
country soaked when it contracted
the national debt.
The editor Of the Red Light has
spent several years looking into the
matter and hass compiled the fol.
lowing facts: If a boy could begin
at the age of one year and save what
he would spend on drink and tobac-
co and put it out at compound in.

fit, to pay OFF the national dtbt of the

A curious fact is advanced by an
Eastern lecturer. 1t Is this: Many
a man spends enough on a single
drunken dcbauch or toot to buy a
Kentucky mule, which if properly
backed up against the national debt
would kick it over into Hudson Bay.
Figures are presented in some
quarters which go to show that if the
railroad companies of this country
would cease to sell tickets at their
stations the conductors would, in the
course of year, save money enough
to this country, debt and all.
A reformed drunkard in Chicago
has recently published pamphlet TO
show that IL the money now spent for
rum could be saved for one year that
it would he sufficientito hire lawyer
smart enough to tell us how to get
out of paying the national debt at all.
1.-THE collections taken up in our
churches could be saved for year
they would, including the lead nick
els and suspender buttons, make q
sum sufficient TO pay the interest on
the national debt for between three
and four minutes.
If the people of the United States
could cut themselves loose from
mince pie for the space of one ycal
enough could-be saved in funeral ex'
penses alone to place this country in q
position where it would not have tC

Some Remarkably Cold Winters in
the Past,

The following statistics of the good
old winters are curious: In 40S the
Black Sea was entirely frozen over.
In 76l, not only the Black Sea but
the Straits of Dardanclles were fro
zen; in some places the snow rose
fifty feet high. In 800 the great rivers
of Europe-the Danube, Elbe, &c.,
were so hard frozen as TO bear l.savy
wagons for month. In $50 the
Adriatic was frozen over. In 99l
everything was frozen; the crops to-
tally failed, and famine and pestilence
closed the year. In 1867 the most of
the travellers froze to-deatlt on the
roads. In ll33 the Poe was frozen
from Cremona TO the sea the wine
casks were burst, and even the trees
split by the action of the frost with
immense noise. In 1886 the Danube
was frozen TO the bottom, and re-
NAMED long in that slate. In 1916
the crops wholly failed in Germany !;
wheat which some years before sold in
England at six shillings the quarter,
rose to $40. In 1889 the crops failed in
Scotland, and such famine ensued
that the poor were reduced to feed
on grass and many persisted misera-
bly, in the fields. The successive
winters of 1882 1894 were uncom-
monty severe. II once showed forty
days without interruption. In l46S
the wine distributed TO the soldiers
in Flanders was cut. with hatch
cts. In 1854 the winter was excess
sively cold. Most of the hollies were
killed. Coaches drove along the
Thames, the ice on which was eleven
inches thick. In 1909 the frost pene-
trated three yards into the ground.
In Ills booths were erected and fairs
held on the Thames. In l744 and
l745 the strongest ale in England, ex-
posed to the air, was covered IN less
than Is minutes with ice an eighth
of an inch thick. In 1909, and again
in 1922 the winters were remarkably
cold. In 1874 there was a fair on the
! Scientific American.

AS Lent this year falls upon a date
upon which il will not occur again
for 500 years, it deserves more than
ordinary attention. This year, 1886,
Lent commences March 11th, and
Easter will fall on the 25th of April.
Easter is governed by the moon. 1t
is the first Sunday after the first full
moon that occurs after the vernal
equinox. Now, there are in Lent
forty fasting days and six Sundays
which are feast days, making forty
six days from the beginning of Len
to Easter.
In 1885 the vernal equinox take
place the Goth of March at | o'clocl
in the morning, and the moon full
on the 10Th at 2 minutes before mid
night. Then, then the first full
moon after the equinox will be Oh
April 18th, which is Sunday, bu
q when the full moon falls on Sunday
Easter is the Sunday following
Therefore, this year, 1886, Easter fall
on the 25th.-Paris Citizen.

Gov. Knott vetoed the pleuro-pncu-
monia bill last Thursday, giving as
a reason that the bill was unconsti-
tulional. He objected to the power
granted the State Board of Health,
and also to that feature of the bill
which %evies a voluntary contribu-
ton upon the taxpayers to reim-
burse owners for particular species
of personal property for its necessary
distinction" 1t is well for Kentucky
that she has an able and level headed
lawyer for Governor, who dares to
withhold his approval from bills
that are passed by the persistent eff
forts Of lobbyists and not because
they possess merit in themselves.
Later.-The bill was passed over

Kentuoky's Figures.
Louisville Commercial.

Kentucky has 1900 square miles
of coal fields; Pennsylvania, $3.50
miles; Great Britain, entire, II, $50
miles. The wealth of Pennsylvania is
largely due to the development of the
coal in the State, and the Importance
of England in the industrial world
is due 10 similar cause. What Ken
lucky needs is not the abolition Of
geographical survey, but an extension
of the work.
The last report Of the Railroad
Commissioners shows that the num-
Der of miles of railroad in the State
has increased from fifteen in 1875 10
2,057 in 1885. The number built in
the last two years was l9l. The
three most important systems are
the Louisville & Nashville, which
controls 1886 miles: the Chesapeake 4
Ohio, controlling G2S and the Gin.
cinnati Southern, with 1913 miles
These railroads cost about $50000,00(
or about $4,000 per mile. Their ne
earnings in 1884 were $4,500000 OIL
about 8 per cent. of the capital invest
cd. The commissioners visited sew
eral towns, but found very little com
plant. The same rates are charged
from Charleston, West Virginia
Mayesville and Covington, though
the distances are not the same. Near
ly all the complaints found in the re
port are from points where there !
only one railroad, thus showing tn
value of competition. FOrty-fiv
counties, nearly two fifths of the to
tai number in the State, have no rail
roads.

JACKSON, Tenn, Feb. 25.-Thc Sec
Ond days session of the Interstate
and Industrial Conven-
ton was characterized by intense
interest and able and lengthy discus
sions of the question of "The Cream
cry and the Farmer" The addresses
were by men thoroughly acquainted
with the subject, and each State rep
resented had graphic word picture
drawn of it by its own delegate.
These were drawn clearly and forci-
bly, TO large audience, who sat
through the entire session. After a
readable paper on poultry by A. A.
Cowdery, OF Illinois, Mr.. G. E. Mar
vim, of Rochester, Mimi, opened the
discussion on "The Creamery and
Farmer" with an address, the most
interesting and important of the coll
vention. Mr.. Marvin is the largest
creamery butter manufacturer in the
world, and his address and replies TO
questions propounded were interest
ing, and showed his thorough ac-
quaintance with the subject. lie be-
gan by referring to the former exal-
ted reputation Minnesota maintain
ed as great wheat-producing State,
which added largely to her popula-
ton. lie spoke of the reverse in re-
suits from a failure of the wheat
crop; of the great value of the COW as
the important factor through which
remunerative system Of diversified
farming was successfully introduced
and spoke of the valuable results that
have been derived throughout the
State. He compared specially oil the
one crop system of farming to specu.
lations in trade, which are
generally ruinous to those that en-.
gage in them. lie said for the or.
der of young man beginning OH q
farm should be farm, wife, COW, and
a start of this kind, with good, bust.
ness-like management, is sure 10 win.
The importance Of selecting only
good cows that would yield all an.
nual milk product of not less thar
5000 pounds was emphasized. Good
healthful food was specially urged
saying that results at the pail or OIL
the block were determined by wha
was taken in the animals mouth. HI
urged permanent pasturing, and sal(
that the purity of the product SHOULD
be as sacred as the purity of the bal
lot-box, and said good butter is
mark of higher civilization, and tina
wherever you find sweet, pure butte
you will find peace, prosperity an
refinement, and ended by dt ducin
the following facts: Oversize
farming the only permanently profit
able farming; that the dairy is an i'm
portant and essential feature {
every well-managed farm; that tn
creamery or cooperative method {
manufacturing is by far the most n
munerative; that brand reputation
of the greatest Importance; that goo
feeding and constant care of cattle
indispensable to success. Mr.. L.
Curtis, of Wisconsin, read paper Q

u ry as opposed to the creamery Or c.

s. sion that followed him and Mr.. Ma
