No F.e.. Mt the window.

New Workers never sit in their win
dows TO enjoy the entertainment fur
nished by the procession of people and
vehicles, writes a New York CORE
spondent of The ST Louis Republic. /
don't believe l have seen a gem
timely fashionable New York man or
woman looking out of q window of
their own houses in years. 1t is an
unspoken and unwritten law that you
shall keep out of sight, and shroud the
interior of your houses with layer on
layer of lace curtains, oftentimes with
as many as four different sets of them
at each window. The only time n man
is privileged TO watch the promenaders
is at his club, and there many Of
them do it with n vengeance, A wo-
man never looks into the street from
her house. You may walk down
Fifth avenue at any time OF day, and
under no circumstances, unless n mill
tary parade was in progress, would
you SEQ any woman of that house
other than the servants. i presume /

founded upon common sense, because
by sitting in windows people become
conspicuous, and the alleged intention
of good form is 10 remain screened
from the vulgar scrutiny of the pub
lie. But it is well enough TO set down
this particular feature of our advanced
condition of civilization, because, if /
am not mistaken, the enjoyable habit
of sitting in windows is practiced in
most other cities. OF course, we lose n
vast amount of entertainment by fore
going the habit, for n study of human
nature rs you find il on the street is
educating and charming. But here
we are, for the sake of that severe
granddame Good Form, yelling the
sun and our fellow creatures from our
fashionable gnzes by these very stun
ming sets of expensive curtains. 1t is
like n theatre with tho drop always
o%bscuring the pictures behind it.

The Profits of Preaching.

Tho great body of the clergymen of
the United States receive salaries of
81, 900 or less n year. There arc many,
of course, in the larger cities who are
paid 81, 900, $1,000, 81, 900 and So, 900,
and in Philadelphia there are several
who are paid from So, 900 to $40, 900,
DR.. Harper, for instance. New York
and Brooklyn are most generous with
their preachers. DR.. John Hall is paid
$50, 600 by his church.; he receives
5000 more us chancellor of the uni
versity of New York, and probably
makes from $1,000 to $1,000 moro a
year from his writings. DR.. Talmage
does quite as well; DIR. VIM. NJ. Tay-
lor's salary is SIS, 600; DR.. Lyman Alb
bolts, SO, 900, and Drs. @. II. Park
hurst and Morgan Dix from g, 500 to
So, 900 more. Very wealthy congrc-
cations are by no means tho most lib
cral with their pastors. There is Rev.

When Molly came home from the party tonight
The party was out at nine
There were traces of tears In her bright blue eyes
That looked mournfuly up to mine
For some one had said, she whispered to me,
With her fnce on her shoulder hid,
Some one had said Qhere were sobs In her voice)
That they didn't Ike something she did
So 1 took my little girl up on my knee
am old and exceedingly who
And l said, my dear, now listen to me;
Just listen, and dry your eyes
This world is a difficult world, indeed,
And people are hard to suit
And the man who plays on the violin
Is n bore to the man with the flute.
"And l myself have often thought
How very much better 1would be
II every ono Of the folks that l know
Would only agree with mo
But since they win not, the very best way
To make this world look bright
Is never to mind what people say,
But do what you think Is right"

Improving the Eyes.

The trials of Hanging committees" in
determining the places to be held by pic
lures at any exhibition, are great and
manifold. An English artist says that
when he nee served as "hangman," pre-
paratory to IN exhibition of the Royal
Academy, his greatest embarrassment
was connected with a picture sent In by
an old Academician who had once done
good work, but whose hand had now lost
its cunning.
1t was the portrait of q clergyman, and
was not so desperately bad but that it
might be admitted, If one popularity
could in any way be dealt with. His
eyes were exactly like those of an owl;
tho eyeballs were intensely black, with a
circle of light, bright blue encompassing
them about.
awe tried him on the WALL" says the
artist, but distance lent increased ter
ror to his expression; he glared at us so
fearfully, that, In regard for the conse-
quences that might arise to unwary visi-
tors, we hastily took him down again.
NOW i said to a brother hangman,

backing, and the glare Of terror inspir-
ing fury was changed into a softened,
appealing expression. With that little
alteration the picture took Its place among
the rest.-Youth's Companion.

Copper Production fin ChIli.

The production of copper in Chili had fallen eff from more than 49,0ce gross tons in 1879 to ht,le more than 29,l50 in 1857. and although re- newed activity was imparted to the industry hy the high prices of las. year, and slightly increased produc- ton (3l, ,240 gross tons) was the result, yet If we are to judge from the pie tare drawn by the journals Of that country, which presents most de- pressed condition of affairs. the re- turns for the present and coming years will show a considerable further reduction. IL IS stated that there are l5,000 fewer miners at work in mines this year than last; in consequence of the closing down of copper mines, and most of the men have found cccupa. tion in railroad construction and other public works. This must mean de- crease in the production of copper, and such Encouragement from the severe loss entalled upon the mine owners that it will be long time be- fore native capital is again embarked Tn copper mining Engineering and Mining Journal.

Government Statistics,

Some interesting statistics may be gathered from the last statistical ab- stract of the United States. As sum- marized in Bradstreet's, It appears that the revenue of the government amounted in the fiscal year 1888 to S6. B for each inhab,tant. The ex- penditures of the government, not in- cluding payment of the national debt, amounted to S4.47 for each person. The national debt amounted to $i77l head, and the interest thereon to 6 cents. The duties collected on im- ports amounted to S347, and the in. ternal revenue amounted 10 S2 07 head. The average ad yalorem rates on all imports in 1888 amounted to 30 per cent, and the average ad valorem rates on all dutiable imports amounted 10 4563 per cent The estimates above given are based upon an esti- mate oi population ot b0.Ol6,0OO made by the actuary of the Treasuary Department. This estimate IS in all probability too tow. An increase of the figure for population would, of course, require slight reduction in the amount for each person. The sta tistlcs regarding saving banks over a period of five years show a steady growth in the number of deposits and in the aggregate amount of deposits, with but a slight change in the aver. age amount due each depositor In 18S7-88 the aggregate deposits amount ed to Sl ,364, ,l96, $50, the number of depositors amounted to 3,S38, 291, and the average amount due each depos- tor was S355.4l

 of life recently discovered by Brown Sequard of Paris, and thus far, he says, tue results are fully equal to the promises given out by the great Paris physician.
 "lt IS true said the doctor, "that when Dr. Brown.Sequards discovery was first reported to the American people wae rather dubious and in clned more or less 10 think, as others hInted, that either the report was a French joke, or that Dr. Brown-Se- quard was another good man gone wrong.
 "l was wiling at all events to put il 10 the test, and about week ago I started to experiment. Brown.Se. quard uses only selected portions of rabbit or gunea pig simply because, l suppose, these are animals upon winch experiments are usually made in French laboratories; but 1 have adopt. cd lamb, which, 1 think, is better. The lamb, you know, is an animal good to eat, but We don't eat guinea pigs.
 "lhe preparation of the medicine ani treatment of tbe patient arc very simple. l take the selected portion of ibe lamb freshly killed and pound It into pulp in a mortar. With this l mix a teaspoonful or two of water, and the result filter through fine SWISS Altering paper. The fluid, which Is slightly thicker than water. comes through perfectly pure and limpid The Altering must be carefully done, for if any shred or part of the pulp were injected under the patients skin 1t would form abscesseS and do harm.
 The extract from asingle lamb will be sufficient for a dozen injections. It does not mater to what part of the hody the application is made, hut the most convenient place is under the skln of the forearm, where the skin is comparatively slack.
 "It would hardly bc safe to inject the fluid derived from q body twenty four hours after lhc Killing of tue animal
 As soon as the lamb is slaughtered by the butcher no time is wasted in pounding and Altering, and within an hour of the killing of the lamb, the juice IS circulating through tbe pa tents yelns and mingIng with his b!oood.
 T began experiments first on myself to assure myself that it was not dan gerous 10 a patient. Since then l have applied the elixir 10 several old gentlemen without their knowing what 1t was. One man, about sixty years, had had his arm so nearly par aly2ed with rheumatism that fer near ly a year be could not raise hls hand 10 his head. Soon afier the elixir was injected into his arm be was able to wield 1t Tn any direction and almost as vigorously as he had ever done.
 Up to the present my experiments have been made without tbe patients knowledge, but tomorrow lam going to begin treating a man Tn this way at his own request Of course it is too early yet to draw any sweeping con cluslons from the result obtained, but as far as l have gone the results ere certainly remarkable.
 "When 1 have continued my eyper- iments longer shall be able to draw conclusions with more confidence. Brown-Sequard's calculation is that an injection once month will suffice to keep q man twenty or thirty years younger than he really is" | I., o l., d.. 1T

 In country like the United States. in which agriculture is leading in tereSt, the condition of the crops has an important effect on the business situation. As a consequence, the out look just now in general trade is de- cidedly encouraging. Wheat will be a heavier yield ihan at any time since 1884; oats is also big crop, while cotton will be fully up to the average of recent years. The fact that the wheat crop of Europe is below that of either of tho past two years will make an increased demand for our cereal.
