Dr. BarrOws, in his work, ''The United
States of Yesterday and of Tomorrow" calls
attention to the fact that Texas is five times
as large England, thirty-four times larger
than Massachusetts. The entire living popu-
lation of the globe, 400, 900, 900 people, di-
vided into families of five pe1eons each,
could be located in Texas, each family with
a house lot of half an acre, and there would
still remain 100000 family lots. Dr. Bar
rows also say that Oregon, Washington ter
ritory and Idaho are twice the size of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, leaving a rem
nant nearly as large as Connecticut. Our
territory acquired by the war with Mexico
is l04 times as large as the state of Massa-
chuSetts
But if some Of our states and territories
are immense, what shall be said of the es-
tates Of some of our private citizens? The
Lake voorhees, cattle range, in Wyoming,
contains 100000 acres, 10000 being inclosed
by single wire fence Mrs. Rogers, Texas
cattle queen, herds 10000 cattle on 200, 900
acres. Goodnight, of Texas, has an estate
seven-elghths as large as Rhode Island, with
100000 cattle. Richard King has $780, 900
acres. MIR. NOone owns a tract in California
twenty-four miles by sixteen, and another
ranch is larger than the state OF Connecticut.

Late Ideas of Breakfast.

The old adage, 'No breakfast, no man,"
is perhaps as true in some form today as
when first formulated although of late
years the IDEAS Of people concerning break
fast have undergone a radical change.
For the laboring man and for the man of
much physical exercise a heavy breakfast
is necessary, but for the man or woman
Of sedentary habits a light breakfast is
doubtless much better In any case,
fruit should always be found at break
fast. Many prefer it after the meal, but
it is not only more digestible but
assists the digestion more surely if used
at the beginning of the meal. For a light
breakfast the fruit should be followed by
one of the cereals in some form with
cream, which is more nourishing than
milk, and by many as easily digested.
This, followed by delicate dry toast or
rolls, with coffee, tea or chocolate, and
perhaps eggs in some form, makes a
breakfast so easily digested that many
persons can Go far more work on it than
on heavier food.-Table Talk.

Handy With the Climbs.

Homer w. Crawford was born In
Columbiana county, Ohio, June 16,
1865, of Scotch-Irish parents. Public
attention was first attracted toward
him by some remarkably long tours he
made on bicycle. developing the fact
that his powers of endurance were be-
yond the ordinary limit. He contested
IN ten mile race at Salem. Ohio, Oct.
10, 1889, for purse of $50, his COM
petitor being w. B. Faucet, who,
mounted on an ordinary, won in thirty
seven minutes. Crawford was handi-
capped by riding a safety. In the fall
of the same year lie turned his atten-
ton to Indian club swinging, and
on April 3, 1890, in G. A. R.
Hall, at New Lisbon, he broke the
worlds record by swinging for six hours
and thirty-One minutes clubs weighing
eight pounds and ten pounds each On
March. II, 1891, he regained the premier
position (Which had been wrested from
him by Brown of Maine). On this oc-
casion he eclipsed all former perform
ances in this line by swinging ten
pound clubs continuously for seven
hours. He stands ) feet inches in
leight, and IN condition weighs 149

Emerson,s Greatness CRITICISED.

There was in Concord an excellent lady Of
the old school, who having heard Mr.. En-
erson's greatness spoken of, said: Yes, Mr..
Emerson is a pretty smart man; he keeps his
head up there in the moonshine, and he says
things that nobody can understand, and folks
think it's wisdom, and he writes it all down,
and people buy it of him; but guess if he'd
"a turned his attention to the butter business
he'd a got along just the same" The old
lady meant this as compliment, and, no
doubt, as the world goes, it ought to be taken
as one.-Boston Transcript.

Trick of the Pawnshops.

By previous understanding with the
pledger, pawnbrokers sometimes loan on
diamond rings or watches more than the
articles are actually worth. The pledger
then disposes of the ticket at slight adj
vance to third party, who redeems the
article at high figure, fancying that he
has a bargain. In London they have
gone so far as to drop such tickets in the
street, in the expectation that whoever
finds them will redeem the pledges

distant day be assured. When that proud

cations will there be such an exposure of
rottenness and corruption in the .Repub-

Everybody was in good humor. Everybody
seemed anxious to applaud, and when a
delegate who had been belated the night be-
fore fell while asleep from his chair in the
rear of the convention hall he was humili-
aled by an outburst of enthusiastic cheers.
Chauncey T. Black was reelected Presi-
dent. w. D. Wormon was again chosen Sec
retary and the old Treasurer was reelected.
It was distinctly Democratic conven-
tion with Grover Cleveland tendencies.
There were cheers for Governor Pattison,
Governor Campbell, Governor Hill and
Senator German, but when President Cleve-
lands name was mentioned there was an
outburst of enthusiasm that fairly shook
the ponderous old building and told in no
uncertain ways of the admiration and affec-
tion for the ex-President. An army of ora
tors was present and the most remote
wheel horse of the party was allowed to air
his eloquence, while the well rounded pc
RODS of the accomplished talker are still

Mr. Fow is member of the Legislature
from Philadelphia. He is also an active
member of the Legislative committee in
vestigating the alleged corruption of the

made one of his characteristic speeches and
concluded his talk with story that fairly
convulsed the convention. In his story Mr.
Fow said:

Gently preached an eloquent sermon on the
whale swallowing Jonah. After services a
wag persuaded the colored minister that he
was wrong, and that Jonah had swallowed
the whale. The following Sabbath the
minister corrected his former sermon and
assured his hearers that his mistake was a
thoughtless one. His congregation divided
on the subject, and lively fight followed
The minister was called before the Church
Council to explain the discrepancy. Both
sides to the quarrel argued long and fer
ventlv. The minister became confused.
He did not know whether he was right the
first Sunday or the last. Finally he arose
and, with his head bowed low, he said:
Brethren, 1 confess L don't know whether
the whale swallowed Jonah or Jonah swal-
lowed the whale. All 1 know is that there
was deuce of lot of swallowing on that
occasion.

tion, but it has been a long season of prom

promises. Incidentally the speaker men
toned Grover Cleveland's name, and the
applause following it awoke one of the dusty
sleeping cherubs in the fresco ceiling from
Van Wrinkle slumber. Continuing, he
spoke of the Democratic party as the peo-
ples party. The Republicans had but one
idea, and that idea was bossisn, aided and
abetted by Doodle. Finally, ''the Repub-
lican party has fallen lower and lower as the
years 60 by, until now, with the recent dis
poliation and thievery, it has sunk into the
deepest slough of degradation and shame. :"
