Manufacturing and Commerce Flour
isaing in the Low Lands.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The census bureau
has issued bulletin on the distribution Of
population in accordance with altitude. 1t
appears that in the area below 500 feet is
included nearly all that part of the popula-
tion which is engaged in manufacturing and
in the foreign commerce of the country, and
most OF that engaged in the culture Of cot
ton, rice and sugar. The intervals between
500 feet and l, 800 feet comprises the greater
part Of the prairie states aud the grain pro-
ducing states Of the northwest. East of
9SJh meridian 800 feet is practically the
upper limit of population, all the country
lying above that elevation being
mountainous. The population between
1000 and 5000 feet is found mainly
on the slope of the great western plains. In
this region the belt between 1900 and 5000
feet is almost everywhere dehatable ground
between the arid region of the Cordilleran
plateau and the humid region of the Missis-
sippi valley. Above 5000 feet irrigation is
almost universally necessary for success in
agricultural operations, and mining pre-
dominates.

England Against 1t.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS. July Am ex-
tended canvass by the NetO England Home
stead shows that the new Peoples party is
not indorsed by the farmers of New England
and lew York. The men intervie wed
were all prominent farmers. While some
favor more independent political action
than heretofore nearly all oppose the idea
of a special farmers party. The sub
treasury bill and the loantng of new issues
of paper by the government on land values
are looked upon as wild schemes. Free
coinage Of silver has small following.
The opinion in general is that the farmers
movement in this section of the country
will consist more in independent action
through the old parties than in forming any
new party.

Lighthouse Keeper Israel, who was in
town a few days ago, says that the best
exhibition Of whales occurred right in
front of the lighthouse the other day.
Half a dozen whales of from t%hirty-fve
to forty feet in length were playing for
an hour. or preaching, as whalers call it.
This is running ont of the water exactly
as a fish does and falling back heavily
OH the ocean, so as to thrash off the bar
nacles that cover their under side. 1t is
a fiat barnacle, rayed in the gray and
white streaks from a small central hole.
The variety of barnacle coming from
colder northern waters ''gets sick" in
nautical phrase. in the warm southern
waters where the whales come to breed,
and are easily shaken off by a little eff
fort. The captain said that the right
whale never ventured into these waters
unless heavily loaded with barnacles,
when they would b. shaken off by
preaching. In the old whaling camp
opposite Ballast Point. on North Island,
whales have been found so thickly in
crusted with barnacles that they have
had to be skinned on the underside be-
fore a knife or spade could safely be
used to cut up the blubber.-San Diego

How the human system ever RECEIVERS
from the bad effects of the nauseous
medicines often literally poured into il for
the suppositive relief OF dyspepsia, liver
complaint, constipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is a mystery. The mis-
chief done by bad medicines is scarcely
tess than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak. bilious, dyspeptic, consti-
puted or rheumatic would oftener be
guided by the experience OF invalids who
have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, they would in every instance
obtain the s~pcediest aid derivabie from
rational medication. The medicine is a
searching and at the same time a thor
oughly safe remedy, derived from vege-
table sources, and possessing, IN conse-
quence Of its basis OF pure spirits,
properties as a medicinal stimulant not to
be found IN the fiery local bitters and
stimulants often resorted TO by the de-
blitated, dyspeptic and languid.

Next to badness the loss of color in
the hair is dreaded, but of late years
gray hair has become so fashionable that
this is not considered a detriment. The
fact is many put poison on their hair
to make it change in color, and then
when gray hair goes out of fashion they
have to resort to hair dress to give it any
other color. If the hair once gets gray
it always remains so, and if this occurs
through the natural process of nature
there is no reason to regret it, or any
thing to be ashamed of. A fine head of
gray hair is always n crown not to be
despised. If it is obtained through hard
work, mental study and thinking, it is
not to be regretted; but if caused by
premature decay, disease or carelessness,
the owner may well regret it.-Yankee
Blade.

On a small island in the middle Of the

white man onthe lsland-which is full OF
brown skinned folk-who cuts and dries
the meat OF ~cocoanut, which he sells TO
trading vessels. When any stranger stops
at his island he gives him OF the best that
the island affords. He will get up great
concerts and dances of the islanders,
above all he will take them out to see his
pet, which Is perhaps the largest and old
est animal that was ever petted by any
n The pet is a sperm whale nearly
seventy feet long. He came through the
narrow entrance into the little harbor,
which is walled in by a coral reef, when
quite small, and remained until he had
grown so large that he could not get out II
he wanted to. The great creature comes
