Cooperative Statistics OF Cities.

The city of Boston has an acreage OF
%, FOG $40 or 81 40 square miles. On thii
number of acres there dwelis q population
of more than 400 600 people. Of these
23, 700 s-l0 acres about 1900 acres ere de-
voted to the Common. the Public Garden,
the parks and the public squares.
The average population per acre, basing II
on a population Of 1000, would be a
trife over Is. As compared with other
large cities of the country this 10 remarka-
bly, good showing. Philadelphia has an
average number per acre of only 10, while
New York City has the remarkable compare
tive aversge of SO per acre.
The number OF dwelling houses in the
city of Boston on the nrat of May. 1888,
was 1. $50. In addition thereto there were
81 hotels and family hotels. Counting the
hotels as residences, which would seem
necessary in considering the popu-
lation Of the city, the average number
of persons for dwelling houses would be 4
little less than nine. Here again Boston
makes 4 good showing as compared with
other cities.
In Philadelphia the average number of
persons per dwelling is six, while in New
York the high syersge of Is is reached.
Boston makes better showing than either
Philadelphia or New York in the number of
dwellings per acre. Philadelphia will aver

The True ReasOn-Wash Day Made Easy.

There is reason in everything, but not
every reason given is true. About washing
clothes, for instance. common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach us that GER
tain things must be done, while others may
be left undone. Clothes must be made
i clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
laundress. If these objects can be attained,
1t does not matter as to what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder, no mat
ter what it is called, that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the handest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes nd all microbes must be destroyed
The only and easiest way to do this Is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point The boiling
water, by constant self-agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes, as they can be cleansed
i'll no other way-and without in any man.
ner injuring the fabric. As there Is no
royal road to learning, neither 10 there any
easier, surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteria than BY using
Pyle's Pearline, and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap
powder that does not work to hest advantage
in hot water.-4merrcaa ANALYST, N. T.

The New Gold Fields.

The recent discovery of gold in Lower
California has led IN soine degree to re
petition of the scenes of 1873. The new
diggings are in the Santa Clara district,
about $50 miles south Of San Diego, which
is within fifteen miles OF the Mexican bor-
der. They may be reached by crossing
the border at Tia Suua or from the port of
La Ensenada on the Pacific coast which
is about forty miles from the mining dis
trict, That gold exists in considerable
quantities in Lower California is not at all
improbable. 'fhe peninsula, which is $50
miles in length and from 30to $50 in width
is traversed from end to end by the same
mountain ranges in which the gold deposits
of Upper California were found. These
mountains vary in height from 1000 to
5000 feet, and If the same aurferous
lodges found to the north exist here the
valleys will doubtless furnish some rich
placer mines.
II remains to be seen what Mexico has
to say of this rush of gold seekers within
her borders

For Spring and Summer

The popularity of rough surfaced goods is
going by.
All the stringless bonnets are accompanied
by delicate mask wells.
Accordion pleating is decidedly the fashion
for the fronts of dresses.
Steel is the very effective and popular

All shades of green appear this spring in
greater variety than ever.
Ribbon embroideries will appear on some
of the rich spring evening dresses.
Pink and black is a combination of color
that will be fashionable for summer toilets
Washing silks will be made into summer
dresses, with sailor blouses and pleated
skirts.
Serges, csshmeres and camel's hair are the
WOODEN stuffs which will be used for spring
dresses.
Gobelin blue is steadily gaining favor, in
spite of having been a fashionable color for
two seasons.
Russell leather shoes and slippers for ladies'
promise to be as fashionable as ever this sum-
mer.
Loose punches of heliotrope or bright
jonquil or two are worn with the walking

The turban hat of other days is altered in
the matter of style; the crown being lower,

The Electric Railways.

Rapid progress has been made during the
past two weeks on the project for electric
railroads in Westchester county. The gen.
eral design is to connect the Hudson River.
Harlem and New York & Northern roads by
cross country lines, with branches reaching
all the important towns and villages in the
county. The laying of the Elmsford branch
commences to-day. and it is expected that it
will be in full operation before the first of
May. The influence of this improvement
on the growth of Westchester cannot fail to
be very great.-New York Star.
The electric motor cars on the Fourth
avenue surface line now run for short time
in the evening are a revelation to New-York-
ers of what comfort, and even luxury, il
possible in mode of travel that has hereto
fore been continual nuisance. The cars
are of the ordinary size, but somewhat high
er than the others on the same line. The
seats are comfortable and the electric lights
ONE at each end and two in the centre OF
the car-make it possible to read the finest
newspaper print at any point. 1t has been
stated that the only practical difficulty ye,
found in running these cars is an occasional
partial failure in the machinery for stopping
them. This would be serious if it could not
be remedied, because, as the cars become
more generally used, it would be desirable
and possible to run them much faster than
at present. We should not think that the
difficulty was insuperable.-New York
Times.
