The Census of 1890.

The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes. The central line of
population will be much nearer the
Mississippi River than it was ten years
ago. A series of maps like those con-
tanned in the last census, of gredations
in color, to indicate the changes in
density of population, wealth, health
and other important facts, will present a
curious contrast with the maps that we
now have for the census of 1880, or that
of 1870. Over 100000 acres of
land were sold in the last fiscal year
under the operation of the homestead and
timber-culture law. More than 124, 000,-
900 of acres have been settled in the last
eight years, representing a larger area
than the States of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
and Michigan.
The greatest changes have been made in
the Northwestern group Of States and
Territories, comprising Dakota, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Wyoming and Mon
tana, where nearly 90, 600, 600 of acres
have been settled in the last eight years.
In the Southwestern group, comprising
Kansas, Colorado, Missouri and New
Mexico, nearly 3O,OOO,OOO of acres
have been occupied. On the Pacific
Coast 10000, 900 of acres m.re
have been settled, and 1900, 900
of acres must be added to the
Southern States on both sides of the
Mississippi. Along the Pacific roads
$4,000, 900 of acres have been opened
since the last census. In other words,
the Government and the Pacific rail
roads have opened for settlement in the
last eight years a territory larger than
New England, Middle States and South
Carolina combined; larger than Ger
many or France, and about twice as
large as Great Britain and eland.-Bos-
ton lhagazine.

Making 4 Modern Baseball.

The baseball of to-day, as produced at
Natick, Mass, Is made by hand The
laborers employed in the work are nearly
all girls. The spherical core, of very
best rubber, is first carefully wrapped
with a given amount Of the most costly
yarn. When the ball has thus grown to
about two-thirds Of the size it Is to be,
leather cover is stitched or with needa
and waxed thread. This cover has the
effect of keeping the ball compact and IN
shape, and of regulating its elasticity.
Then more yarn Is wound upon it until
1t is found TO turn the scales at precisely
the right point Finally the outer cover
of horsehide is sewn on and the ball, af'
ter being stamped ard again weighed, to
make sure that it is Just five ounces, Is
wrapped in tinfoil, put into a box with
tve more like it, anG declared ready for
sale. The cover, as sn examination Of a
baseball viii show you, is stamped out
of the leather in but two curiously
shaped pieces, which, sewn on the ball,
together exactly cover it. This device
was not invented untii 1865.
The cheaper grades Of baseballs are
made of poorer yarn and rubber scraps,
the latter pressed into pulp by power
full machinery. The less expensive the
ball, the less yarn and more scraps will be
used in its manufacture until, when you
get to the ''Small Boys Own, price five
cents, there is nothing TO be found inside
the iimsv cover but melted remnants of
rubber shoes.-PicdytHe.

The spirit Of the tempest shrieked
Its Foiceless warning to fated town.
Flee, flee for your livesF' it cried;
Escape the surge Of the relentless tideF'
Yet no one heeded-no one understood;
No warning reached those oft-warned ear,
Fathers but laughed and mothers fond
But smiled, and soothed their children
fears,
While still the tempest sobbed and cried:
Flee, fee FOR your hvesl Ridel rider
Far up the valley one man understood;
An unknown hero heard the awful cry,
And Ikea whirlwind rode he down
Towarn them Of deaths horror nigh.
'Flee, fee for your livesr' he cried;
Escape the surge of the relentless tide.n
Hes mad, they thought. Few needed what
he said;
Some laughed and scoffed, handful fed
But nearly all remained behind
Within that Valley of the Dead
stu on he rode and madly cried:
Flee fee for your liyesl Ridel Ridem
On, On he rode and raced with death,
Til, beaten in that unequal strife
The torrent caught him, and his corpse
s|epto on with those of men for whom he
gave his life;
And An, over all the tempest vainly sighed,
''Fiee, fee for your livesl Ride! Rider
