A CRUMB OF COMFORT.

Many who have survived the grip are won- dering if they are going to have the cholera soon. They have read that the cholera has always, or usually, been preceded by some- thing like the grip, and after the experience they have had they are prepared to believe almost anything of melancholy nature. ! Facts are facts, and there are some facts which are calculated to cheer the fearful ones. A famous Russian physician has in- vestigated the matter and succeeds in pro- ducing evidence strong and abundant enough to establish that there is no connection be- tween the grip and the cholera. He proves that the influenza has been in existence for seven hundred years, since 1173, while cholera first made it's appearance in 1893, and did not extend to western Europe till 1881. In ali there have been five epidemics. In these outbreaks there is nothing suggestive of their being sequence of the grip. Since the cholera first made it's appearance there have been some twenty epidemics of infuen- ga in tho world.
 Let us therefore hope The grip is enough for one year. Those who have had it don't need the cholera.

 Chickens, geese and turkeys which have been fed by machinery for three weeks pre- vious to their demise will be placed on the market in this city within few weeks. They will be known as Jersey stock, and will be cheaper than the Philadelphia dry picked. A company has been formed with two million dollars capital, it is said, to make the lean western chicken a marketable article. It has hennery in Provost street, Jersey City, next door to the old oleomsrga- rine foundry, and when it gets in full work. ing order sixty i've thousand chickens will be accommodated at once, and four thousand will be killed, picked and made ready for eating every day.

LEFT BY WEALTHY BRITONS. The Fortunes of Rich EngIishmen
 Who Died in the Past Year.

lFrom the Argonautl
 The list of rich men dying in England during 1889 presents some interesting fea- lures, and forms a basis of comparison with the rich men of this country. The land- owners hold 8 much more prominent posi- tion in England than with us. and stand near the head of the list. The Earl of Lev en and Melville heads the list with property valued at 2,600 0OO. This fortune was sur- passed by Sir Daniel Goooh, chairman of the Great Western railway, whose fortune was, placed at &3,267. .000; by William J. Cook son, manufacturer, whose fortune amounted to nearly $3,000, ,00O, and by two bankers, with fortunes of $4,540,000 and g, ,s60, 900 respectively.
 The prominence of the landholders among the rich men of the country is, of course,
 the result of tine land laws of England; but
 the fact that railroad magnates, manufactur- CTS and bankers are surpassing the old land aristocracy in wealth, indicates the advance being made by the middle classes. The list includes but two classes ss "millionaires," :" one with a fortune of $12. .874, 500, the other with $5, ,345, 800. The fact that only two in the list are classed as millionaires results partly from the fact that the fortunes are quoted in pounds sterling instead of in dol- lars. It ia noteworthy that these two made their fortunes in business.
 The list of rich merchants and manufac- turers dying in 1889 is headed by fortune of $2,975, ,O00, and ranges down through eight intermediate fortunes to $622, 300, Q very modest amount according to the ideas of this country. Contrary to the general
 expectation, the richest brewer is not so wealthy as the richest manufacturer or rail road msgnate, his fortune being placed at 8 323 O0O. The list of bankers includes seven fortunes ranging from $4.54O, 900 to l $7O 700, the former being the richest man among the deceased of last year, except the two 'smillionaires."
 The members of parliament dying during | the year show modest fortunes ranging from S1, ,75O, ,OOO down to $16,0O0. The lawyers
 also are comparatively poor. Robert Moon, | who heads the list, had fortune of $1,540, ' l GOO, while the Queens remembrancer comes l at the foot with $90, 900. In the list of those who followed literature the old story is seen | in the fact that the publishers head the list, l while the authors follow after. Wilkie Col lins stands well at the head of authors with 1 45O, ,OOO, while Laurence Oliphant left but | 7,20O. Among the arts we find Richard Redgrave, R. A., with $213, ,000, Carl Rosa
 with $393, ,0O0, John Sanger with $200, 900, I Fl. B. Farnie, the author of great number of comic operas and burlesques, with $103,'
 900.
 l Among the women dying Lady Ossingtor left s2,045, ,OOO, and Miss Ryland left the greatest amount of personal property, val ued at $3, ,738, 900. Sir John Hayter's moth

 The department of political economy in Harvard college has been investigated and the result is comprised in two conflicting re- ports made to the overseers: The majority report is made by J. T. Morse, Jr., who says that something should be done to stop "the graduation every year of an almost solid phalanx of free traders" :" which he does not believe is, as is asserted by the defenders of tho college authorities, the inevitable result of employing the best methods of training tho student simply to think of themselves. The minority report, in opposition to Morse, is made by H. w. Putnam. Only thirty eight copies of the report were printed, and they were distributed with much care.
 Many guessss or estimates of the total cost of the Forth bridge have been made, but now that 1t is nearly completed it's exact cost can be stated with almost absolute certainty. Under the original Forth bridge act, 1873, the bridge and connecting railroads were estimated to cost 91, ,866, ,666, of which that act authorized el, l,250,000 to be raised by shares and s416, ,ee8 by mortgage. Various acts had, however, to be applied for there- after for power to raise further sums, and now still another is being promoted in this session of parliament for power to raise 9266, ,0oO additional. That will bring up the sum which has been expended on the bridge and connecting railroads to about e3, ,250, GOO, which may now be accepted as the exact cost of the undertaking.
 Even popular revival preachers sometimes find their match, although they often succeed in taking strange liberties with their congre gations. In an Omaha church recently, Sam Jones shouted: "Is there man present whs never spoke cross word to his wifsa" Tht silence was becoming oppressive. People looked here and there. Every husband
