walnuts few days. before killing. Since the appearance of this unfortunate sugges- ton she has, according to her own state ment, streceived letters from all over the country-from California to Maine-from women who, suppose, are good in their way, abusing me like pickpocket for my cruelty"
 Mrs. Field has been charged with mak- ing harmful original suggestion, but her receipt Is not a new one. It was an old custom in certain parts of New England to feed the turkey on brandy. This was done for several days, and from it grew the other custom of making the gobbler gloriously drunk, in which condition he was killed. In the start the turkey was fed on brandy, because this imparted a fine flavor to the meat, but the efforts of the gobbler to preserve his dignity when drunk afforded intense amusement in the barnyard, and thus inauguaated 6 species of amusement upon which public senti- ment frowned.

 Some of the special bulletins issued by the census office are interesting. Decided ly so is that regarding the Hebrews in this country. The data do not cover the whole Hebrew population, but upwards of 10, 900 family schedules, embracing 6O,630 persons, have been collected. In these families during the five years ending De- cember 31, 1889, there were 2,148 mar riages, 6,038 births and 2,062 deaths. Most of these families were in comforta- ble circumstances and employed servants. The average annual number of persons to each family was five and forty-seven- hun dredths. The peculiar facts brought out are that the average annual number of marriages per 1000 of population is very much less than the general average in the Eastern States, while the average of deaths is I'll per 1000, or only about one-half the general average. The average age at marriage is much higher than among the general pop ulation, and the birth rate is diminished, perhaps in consequence. It is probable, however, that the Hebrew W children are more tenacious of life or have better care than those of the average population, and this offsets the low birth rate. The expec- tation of life at the age of ten years, b ased upon the death rate of 1889, is 61 il years for males and 56.02 for females, as against 1899 and 4s.O5 respectively for the gene ral population.

try, and only the best class of European work equals that put into comparatively expensive buildings here.
 Those who want to increase the use of silver as money point to the supply of gold with much impressiveness. The stock of gold is steadily falling of, while there does not seem to be any very good prospect of increased supplies. The mines of California are pretty we'll exhausted. The gold supply in Australia has de- creased enormously. Mexico and South America now produce silver almost ex- clusively. The mines of Europe and Asia were worked out years ago. Africa may perhaps be said to offer some hope of future supplies, but as the deposits there have long been mined in rude way, no great dependence can be placed on the pos abilities from that source Meanwhile the stock of gold in the hands of the inhabi- tants of the world, which reached its max mum in 1870, is steadily falling off. The loss from abrasion alone is more than three per cent. year, and there are other obvious sources of loss which, though minor, amount to e great deal in the az gregate.
 Miss Barbara Techton makes a sugges- ton in the Churchman which is well worth attention. It is, in brief, that commit tee of philanthropic people be organized for the purpose of collecting outgrown or disused clothing. This clothing would be assorted, cleaned, pressed and mended, if
 necessary, and then exposed for sale in a store convenient to the houses of the de-
 serving poor. The goods would not be given away, but sold at a nominal price,
 as, for instance, or 10 cents for pair of children's shoes, 10 cents for hat, 20
 cents for dress, 20 cents for a cloak, and
 so on. There is no reason why this sug- gestion should not be immediately put in operation. There is in every city an | enormous waste of such articles, first, be
 cause the members of an average well-to-dc
 family never wear their garments com pletely out, and secondly, because ths
 second hand dealers pay so little for sucf | goods that it is not worth while to try tS saIl them

THE CHEAT FAIR.

The planners of the worlds fair at Chicago are making more progress than is generally realized. The main group of nine buildings will roof 200 acres of JsSk- son Park. Machinery Hall will be z. 200 fee%e5ng, ;OU feet in width, and from fifty to sixty-ive feet in height. The great building for manufactures and decorative arts will be 75O by 2,0OO feet, and it will contain two large inner courts to insure good lighting. Plants and flow CTS will fill these courts, and they will also contain fountains, palms, and probab- ly each will hold fine orchestra. The buildings for exhibits of electrical machinery and for the products of mines will be each $50 by 600 feet. Agriculture will spread itself over home of TOO by 900 feet, and horticulture 200 by 2,00o feet, and an additional field of twenty acres. Fish culture is assigned some 200 by 1000.
 But this is by no means all. The South American countries, whose buildings were the most picturesque at Paris, will recon struct them in Chicago, many of them, put together for disjointment and transporta ton, being in safe keeping at their re spective capitals. The series of recon structions Illustrating the history of hu. man habitation, which so effectivel, adorned the Seine, will either be sent te Chicago or will be duplicated. The various oriental villages" and ''streets" that af forded so much variety to all kinds of peo pie and constituted so valuable lesson il domestic ways, ethnology, geography ant politics for the young, are coming to Chi eago. There was not a special exhibit o
 note in the grounds of the universal expo
 sition that may not be expected there
 whether national, sociological, industria or commercial.
 The agricultural exhibit will far excee
 that of Paris. The machinery exhibit wi
 surpass all previous ones. The electric ez
 hibit will be more remarkable than an
 preceding one. And so forth and so or
