NO BoOMs NEED APPLY.

"Can you direct me to Pacific City ?"
asked the Buffalo man of a station agent
in Dakota as he left the train at "hud.
die" of four or five houses.
Right across the street for informa-
tion, SIR" was the reply, and the stran.
ger walked across to shanty bearing
the sign Real Estate, and put the same
question to red headed man who was
busy folding and sealing prospectus.
"This is 1t, sir," was the calm reply.
"Why-why-"
You are disappointed, of course
"Well, rather"
You expected to see city of at least
factories, and churches, and all that p
"Yes, did,"
"That's the way with many others,
but it is not our fault. Our object is to
go slow and sure, and not create any
thing like boom to give fictitious val
ues. We haYe done remarkably well
thus far. One year ago this was the
only structure in the city. Now look
around"
"Now / can count seven.r
Exactly. That's what our latest
prospectus says-improved 700 per cent
in one year. Can you ask town to go
ahead faster than that Don't confound
this wonderful progress with a boom,
however. Booms have killed half this
western country. We don't want any,
"How's real estate ?" queried the Buffa-
10 man after while.
Advancing, of course. Six months
ago offered lots on Washington avenue
for $40 foot. To-day I'm asking $50.
That's 100 per cent, isn't it, and nothing
like boom. We are simply growing on
our merits alone. That's the proper wav
for town to grow"
J "Any factories here ?"
There are. A year ago we had none.
Now we have blacksmith and a shoe
meker, That's an increase Of 200 per
cent, and want you to find a town TO
match it. There has been no boom, how
-ever-remember that. It's just natural
growth"

"That's one Of the strong points in my

THE UNITED STATES FLAG.

1t is astonishing when one considers
how very few persons, native Americans
too, are acquainted with the composition
of our national flag," said naval officer.
''In engravings and pictures l daily see
misrepresentation OF the flag, and even
upon poles or IN professions on holidays.
They are made with more than the re
quired number of stripes, more or less
stars in the union than there should be,
or the arrangements Of the stripes, as
regards colors, is not right. Then, again,
the flags are not made Of proper dimen-
sIons.
The official flag is made as follows
There should be thirteen stripes, repre-.
senting the original States of the Union,
border stripes of red; the union, of blue,
should be seven stripes square, resting
on white, with four red and three white
stripes ON the sides; the entire flag
should be 81 stripes long and 10 stripes
wide. Very often flags are seen with
from 10 to 20 stripes and over 80 stars in
the union. Aside from these irregulari-
ties, it is quite common on holidays to
see flags with the union down. By the
union down is meant having the stripes
where the union should be. 1t should
always he uppermost. II it is down it
signifies distress. All good Americans
ought to know these things, but from
observation and inquiry l find that hard
ly one in fifty understands the compo-
sitioD of our emblem or even knows how
to display it."

AN ENGINEER or NERVE.

In the smoking car, along with half q

AT the same moment something went

Then, at a crossing, she left the met

TREATMENT FOR Potato ROT.

The New Jersey Experiment Station
has the following to say concerning the
treatment of crop and field where potato
rot prevails.
1t is evident that after the vines have
been killed there can be no further
growth of the tubers, and as the disease
first attacks the leaves and tips of the
vines, and works downward towards and
finally into the tubers, it follows that
there can be DO loss in yield, and a great
possible gain in healthfulness by early
digging. As a rule, the potatoes should
be removed from the soil as soon as pos
slbe after the vines have been "struck"
by rot. The dead vines abound in the
spores of the disease, and it is possible
for the tubers to be infected by contact
with the vines at the time of digging.
Therefore it is an important and mex
pensive precaution to rake the vines into
heap and burn them before the pota.
toes are dug, at the same time destroying
millions of germs of the rot some Of
which otherwise might do injury else
where. The same conditions favor the
rot after as before digging and therefore
the dug tubers should be left to dry thor
oughly ; then the sound ones may be
stored where they can be kept dry, cool
and with good circulation of fresh air.
A damp, warm, close cellar favors the
growth Of the rot. Air-slaked lime, a
handful or 80 Fer bushel, may be busted
over the freshly harvested potatoes to
destroy any adhering germs.

On the Progress of Catholicism In this
Country.-A Population Of Nine Millions
OF Roman Catholics Claimed.
On the occasion of the laying Of the
corner stone of st. Peters new Catholic
Church in Washington, Sept. 10, which
was attended by elaborate ceremonies,
Cardinal Gibbons delivered an address
in which he said "About 70 years ago
St. Peters old church was dedicated to
Almighty God by a modest coDgrega-
ton. But the new church will surpasJ
the old one in grandeur and magniti-
cence, and, indeed, the two placed in
comparison afford us a beautiful and
significant type of the progress OF the
Catholic religion in the United States.
On the 10th of next month we will cele-
brate in the city of Baltimore, the one
hundredth anniversary Of the establish
ment of the hierarchy in the United
States, and of the appointment OF Bishop
Carroll TO be the first Bispop OF the See
of Baltimore. We cannot review the
history of the last century OF that great
event which we are about to commemo
rate without being filled with profound
gratitude to Almighty God, who has
wrought such great things a. the hands
of His servants, and, at the same time,
without grave responsibility to walk
in the footsteps of our fathers in the
faith. When Bishop Carroll was conse-
Grated in 1890, the whole United States
contained not quite 4, ,00O, 900 inhabitants.
The Catholic population was then esti-
mated at about 10000 souls, including a
small but heroic band OF missionary
priests, chiefly, il not exclusively, be-
longing to the Society OF Jesus.
Churches there were none in those days,
unless we are to designate by that title
the modest houses Of worship which
were erected for the accommodation OF
the faithful. Hospitals there were none,
absolutely none. There was but one
seat of learning for the Catholic minis
try throughout the length and breadth
of the United States, and that was
Georgetown College, just then founded.
Thanks, brethren, 10 the overruling
Providence, and to the blessings which
God has thrown upon our country, and
to the beneficence and inviting charac-
ter of our civil and political institutions,
the United States now contains popu.
lation Of So 900, QUO OF inhabitants, and
thanks also to the fructifying influence
of the Holy Spirit, we can count to-day
Catholic population in the United
States of 100000 of inhabitants. We
have 5000 clergy men ministering TO the
faithful, 10000 churches and chapels.
We have $50 colleges and academies for
the higher education of the youth OF
both sexes, and we have several hundred
asylums and hospitals for the moral,
mental and spiritual maintenance OF the
youth of both sexes, and for the allevia'
lion of every phase OF suffering man
kind. rejoice in the growth and pro-
gress of the Catholic religion, because
am convinced that the growth OF the
Catholic faith in this country will, more
than any other means, promote the well
fare and stability Of our American insti-
tutions.n

JENNY LIND SINGING "HOME, SWEET
HOME"

Perhaps the most thrilling quarter of
an hour of John Howard Payne's life
was that when Jenny Lind sang Home,
Sweet Home" to him. The occasion was
the Jenny Lind concert in Washington,
the night of December II, 1850. Tie
assembly was, perhaps, the most distin-
guished ever seen in a concert room in
this country. The immense National
Hall, hastily constructed for the occasion
on the ruins of the burned National
Theatre, was filled to oveTfowing.
Among the notables present and occupy
ing front seats we're President Fillmore,
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, General
Scott and John Howard Payne. Jenny
Lind opened with the "Casta Diva" and
followed with the "Flute Song" Tin
which her voice contested rivalry for
purity and sweetness with flute in the
duet) then the famous Bird Song" and
next on her programme the "Greeting
to America" All the pieces were ap-
plauded apparently to the full capacity
of an enthusiastic audience, and Web
ster, who was in his most genial after
dinner mood, emphasized the plaudit by
rising from his seat and making Jenny
a profound bow, as il responding for the
country to her "Greeting." But when
the Swedish Nightingale" answered the
encore by turning in the direction of
John Howard Payne and giving Home,
Sweet Home" with all the wonderful
tenderness, purity and simplicity fitting
both the words and the air of the i'm.
mortal song, the difference was at once
seen between the mechanical applause
called out by display of fine vocaliza-
ton, and that elected by the "touch of
nature that makes the whole world kin. "
Before the first line of the song was
completed the audience was fairly "off
its feet" and could scarcely wait for a
pause to give expression to its enthusi-
asm. People ordinarily Of the unde-
monstrative sort clapped, stamped and
shouted as il they were mad, and it
seemed as il there would be no eDd to
the uproar, Meantime, all eyes were
turned upon Payne, small sized, ele-
gantly nodded. gray-haired gentleman,
who blushed violently at finding himself
the center Of so many glances.-Selected.
