Must See the Smoke.
[san Francisco Argonaut. ]

A popularity about the blind is tina.
there is seldom one of them who smokes.
Soldiers and sailors accustomed to smok.
ing, and who have lost their sight in
action, continue to smoke for a short
while, but soon give up the habit. They
say that it gives them no pleasure when
they cannot see the smoke, and some
have said that they cannot taste the
smoke unless they see it.

Gated in them by perusal of these miles
and miles of agricultural treatises, year
after year. When the country lad sits
down by the fire, after day of toll in the
cornfield or potato patch, and reads
handsomely illustrated book about farm
ing, full of new ideas, experiments, sug-
gestions, prepared by men whose names
st2nd high in popular esteem, and pub
lished by his government, he gathers APP
probation of the Importance and dignity
of his calling, gains self respect, self con-
fidence and content. Agriculture does not
seem quite so humble, quite so lowly, as it
did when he was out in the field picking
potatoes out of the mud with cold, sticky
fingers. | know because have been there,
and hence / walk into the great govern
ment printing Office and lift my hat to the
huge piles of agricultural reports which /
see there.
do the same thing in the three or four
rented storerooms, where tons and tons of
these books are piled up awaiting ship
ment. | even applaud the congressman
who vote an appropriation of 100000
year for printing these reports. OF course
their idea is to have as many books as they
can get hold of without cost to themselves
to use in currying favor with their agri
cultural constituents, but at the same
time they are helping educate the masses.
They are doing something good for the
millions of people who plant and SOW and
reap.
OF course congress is Uncle Sans most
prolific author. The Congressional Record,
which fills eight or ten huge volumes a
year and costs 81, 600 week, is but small
part of the printing done for the senate.
To print the senate and house journals in
wolves an expense of $4,000 a year. The
journal of the present house filled more
shan 1000 pages during its first session.
Publication of new laws in pamphlet form
costs nearly $50, 900 a year, while printing
of the statutes at large, as enacted by each
congress, makes from 81 600 to 900 more.
The reports of the house committees at the
recent session amounted to 5000 pages and
cost $50, 900, though only one-third of the
usual number of copies was printed. The
reports of senate committees were nearly
as great in bulk. A remarkable example
of the reckless manner in which congress
calls upon its publisher is found in the act
passed March 2, 1887. This directed the
public printer to publish the testimony
taken in seventeen contested election cases
in the house. In four months the big pub
fishing house turned out 1856 pages o
such testimony in printed form at cos
to the government of about $4,000 1t i:
estimated that about one dozen person:
besides printers and proof readers hav'
read those books.
The sum total of Uncle Sans publish
ing operations in year? 1t is not easy t.
say with accuracy. A fair estimate, how
ever, is that he turns out every working
day the equivalent of book of 1,5o0 pages

A Prodigious Eater.

Among the accounts of enormous eaters
there is, perhaps, none more extraordi
nary than that related in "Fuller's Worth
les" concerning Nicholas Wood, of Harri'
son, Kent England. The account says
He ate at one meal whole sheep, and at
another time thirty dozen of pigeons. AT
the residence of Sir William Sidley he ate
as much as would have sufficed for thirty
men. AT Lord Watten's, in Kent, he de-
vaared, eighty-fo;;r rabbits az one sitting,
which, at the rate of half a rabbit for each
man, would have served 16S men. At
breakfast he ate eighteen yards of black
pudding, and during the day ate whole
hog. When accommodated with fruit be
ate three pecks of damsons.

Notes About Rev. E. e. Hale.
Tsoecial Correspondence

Boston, Nov 24.-When Rev. DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale was supplying he
was quite unlike the conventional "sup-
ply" for instead of going to place merely
for Sunday he would stay all the week,
visiting the schools and mills and attend
ing social events, thus getting close to the
lives of the people. In this way he visited
almost every part of New England, much
of western New York and the cities of AL
bany, Philadelphia, Washington and Balti-
more.
While he was pastor at Worcester, ac-
cording to the time honored custom there,
he was asked to act on the school commit
tee, but refused, stating his wish to be-
come overseer of the poor. He was elected
to the position, and in the winter of 1S51-52
wrote and published letters on Irish immi-
grafton, which attracted much attention,
and were made the foundation of the pres
ent system of state almshouses. He was
interested also in the Kansas emigration
movement, and travelled through New
England for the purpose of spreading the
enthusiasm. He and Mr.. Eli Thayer OF
Worcester, succeeded SO well that the tide
of emigration flowed toward Kansas until,
in 1861, it became state.
