Centre of Foundation.

The centre of population in 1880 wa,
located eight miles southwest of the
heart of Cincinnati, and a half mile
southeast of the village of Taylorsville;
or still more definitely, it il lat 80 deg.
4 min sec., and long 81 deg. 80 min.
40 sec. The method of determining it
is rather complicated, and is fully do
scribed in the census report. In brief
it is this: A point is chosen as the as
sumed centre, and from it "moments"
are computed north, south, east and
west, moment being the product Of the
population by the distance from the as
sumed centre. The population is
grouped by square degrees Il. e., by
areas included between consecutive
parallels and mcridians), and after
deducting the population of 100 prin-
cipal cities, the remaining inhabitants
of each square degree were as
sumed to be grouped at its geographical
centre. The moments Of square de-
grees and cities north and south were
computed, AMI their dlffcrcn &C, divided
by the entire population of the country,
gave the correction of the latitude. In
like manner the correction In the longi-
tude is made from the subtraction of mo-
mcnts east and west, and division of the
difference by the total popu' alton. In
1890 the center of population was
twenty-three miles cast Of Baltimore,
Md. 1t moved forty-one miles west
ward during the first deca lie, and from
1850 to 1861 when the discovery of
gold in California was urging so many to
the Pacific coast, the center travelled
westward eighty-one miles. But the
war retarded immigration again, and
the next census recorded but forty two
miles of progress. During the years
1870-80 the movement westward was
ffty-eight miles. = Atlanta Constitu-

The Bridal Express.

The Boston express which passes
through this city on its way to New
York at s. 80 every evening IS mis-
named. 1t shout be called the bridal
express. 1t carries moro brides and
their grooms off on the honeymoons
Than all the rest of the trains on the
consolidated put together. 1t scoops
them up nightly at most every station
all tn, way from Bo'to1 to New York.
1t gathers them in, old and young, big
and little brides, with the first full flush
Of youth on their cheeks, brides well &C
customed to the flush of youth, and
brides. who have been hustIing for many
day to keep the flush of youth from
departing from their cheeks. People
have habit of getting married IN time
to catch this train. 1t is very fast
one, and somehow or another brides
and grooms like to travel on fast trains.
In almost every newspaper you pick up
that contains an item about marriage
you are apt TO see that item wound up
with something like this:

The Heroic Sacrifice of a Child.

In the Bodleian library at Oxford, Eng
land, is a most touchiag record of hero
ism, and self-sacriice on the part of a
child-a record to touch oce's heart
with its pathos. The tower door of St.
Leonard church, Bridgewatcr, Eng
land, was left open and two young boys,
wandering in, were tempted to mount
to the upper part and scramble, from
beam to beam.
All at once a joist gave way. The
beam on which they were standing be-
came displaced. The elder had just
time to grasp it when falling, while the
younger, slipping over his body, caught
hold of his comrades legs. In this
fearful position the poor lads hung, cry
ing vainly for help, for 10 one was near.
At length the boy clinging to the
beam became exhausted. He could no
longer support the weight. He called
out to the lad below that they were both
done for.
"Cou,d you save your self if | were to
loose you?" replied the title lad.
81 think l coull," returned the
older.
"Then good bye, and God bless YOU"
replied the little fellow loosing his
hold.
Another second and he was dished to
pieces on the stone fl ,or below. His
companion Numbered to place of safe

siIver.Piated Ribbons.

'Rather neat, eh2'
A Broadway dealer in fancy goods
was showing New York Mail and Ex-
press reporter handsome purple rib
bon on which his initials were written
in silver letters.
"You want to know how that was
done. Well, I'll tell you. Make So
luton of nitrate of silver, aud ad little
gum to it, so that the liquid will not
run. Then with a cameps hair pencil
Or quill pen draw any sort of orna-
mental figure on the silk. After the
drawing is dry hold the ribbon over a
vessel containing water, zinc and little
sulphuric acid. In a short time the
silver will be reduced and adhere quito
strongly to the fabric By this plan
almost anything can be written on silk,

there is no end 10 the fanciful designs
that might be made"

Old rose is stylish, but trying to the
complexion.
M ,chine stitching is still feature of
imported tailor suits.
The newest hat pins are of silver in
the form of wheat-ears.
Little girls are wearing large poke
bonnets trimmed with ostrich feathers.
Buttons on the newest tailor gowns
are of medium size and quite expensive.
White ostrich feather fans are popu-
lar, from the fact that these may be
carried with any costume.
Green is popular color, and is seen
in all the shades, from the pale lettuce
color to dark Russian green.
Gold embroidery with serpent-green
velvet is the trimming much affected
for the Tosca hat in fine green straw.
Evening dresses are much worn with
full sleeves, from shoulder to elbow, of
tulle, lace crepe or gauze, with ribbon
bows.
Dressy mourning bonnets are made
entirely of loops of narrow watered
ribbon, each pointed end finished with
bead.
Squares of black net, embroidered In
gold or straw, with veil to match, come
for making up into bonnets for very
young women.
Gold in every line-bright, dull, red,
yellow, FURNISHED, tarnished-what you
willis the distinctive feature of new
Partisan millinery.
Bonnets of poppy-red tulle arc only
suited to the youngest and freshest
faces, and even on them should be con-
fined to afternoon wear.
Lace corsages arc almost invariably
made in surplice style with bows and
roscttes on the shoulders and fish the
sleeves which are pulled in two puff, TO
be stylish.

Preservation of Severed Digits.

There have been published within a
year, some half dozen cases of digits
severed and afterward reunited. That
there have been some failures, counts
for nothing. There have certainly been
no reports of any unpleasant results fol-
lowing the attempt. The public, too,
are beginning to realize that the useful
little member is sometimes needlessly
sacrificed. Another case can be added
10 those already published which pre-
scnts one unusual feature 1.-The long
time that elapsed before the severed end
was adjusted to the stump. ga boy
while splitting wood cut off part Of his
right thumb 1t dropped to the ground
and he ran into the house. The mother

barn. harnesscd the horse. wrapped the
piece of thumb and the stump up in
rag, and drove nearly three miles to the

Mexican Mummies.

A family of mummies recently I'M
earthed in Mexico have just been
brought to San Francisco and placed in
the State Mining Bureau. They were
found in a stratum of lime several feet
below the surface of the earth, not far
from the Arizona border. Tho group,
consisting of man, womln, and two
children, were close together. The
two adult figures have OF a scanty cloth
ing of coarse netting composed of grass
and bark of trees, viii one of the
children appears to have BEEN clad in
fur They all have the knees drawn up
to the chins, while the hands clap tho
heads, as if they had died in great
agony. The general appearance, in
this respect, is much like that of the
casts of the Pompeiial victims. The
woman has long black hair AMI in the
lobes of her car, are small tubes for or
nament. The man has but little hair. His
of pain---but arc seen very distin city,
and his open mouth shows his tongue.
Near the bodies were also found curious
ly formed beads, and tho perfect form
OF cat, which seems to have shared
their burial place. From the appear
ancc of the bodies and their surround
Tags it is thought that they must have
been dead at least 800 years.

Michigan's BOundless Forests.

One of his colleagues in tn, senate
said to Mr.. Palmer, of Michigan. the
other day:
palmer, l suppose that between
legitimate numbering, lumber stealing
and fires, the timber is getting pretty
scarce in Michigan"
For moment Mr.. Palmer looked at
his friend pityingly and then rcpIied:
''Just to think what a common
school system we have and with it all,
United States senator to ask such
question: Why, my dear sir, there is
timber enough now stan ling in tho
state OF Michigan to make three board
fences, posts and all, fifteen boards
high, clear round the earth once year
for fifteen years"

certain the qualities of an applicant
cook, he says 1T is sufficient to give her
place to clean, a sauce to make, and
watch how she moves her hand in either
act. If she moves it from left to right,
or in the direction of the hands of a
watch, you may trust her; if the other
way, she is certain to be stupid and iu-
capable. The intelligence of people
may also be gagged, the doctor further
