Dirdscye View OF Paraguay.

Paraguay has 430, 900 people on her
1870 square miles of territory. Large
numbers of uncolonized Indians are net
counted. The country is rich in vegeta-
ton, but only 160,o acres a., under
cultivation. hmoI, lhc notable pro-
ducts a.e algaroba and guebIacio for
tanning, and algorabella, indigo and
annOtto for dveiDg. There is &c abund-
ance of resins, copal, gum elastic, drug
plants, balsams. Besides cotton, Para
quay produces textile and fibrous plants
like ramie, jute and palm. The foreign
trade is about IS, 900, 900 n year, but the
United States gets very little OF it. The
principal exports are tobacco, hides, lum-
Der and oranges. Paraguay has no sea-
port. He" products go out by the Para

NOT YET OUT OF DANGER.
Manager FricA Of the Homestead
Works a Suffering Man.

PlTTsBURG, PA.-Chairmau H. G
office ssiaads Mn2 dEs ees kex Be1kman ia his
Homestead sympathizer, is mentally
bright and active, but he has much pain
from the pistol wounds and the cut from
Berkman's knife.
The ball which passed around the neck
almost grazed the spinal cord. That
which passed out OF the side almost touch
ed the spine. Thoupper cut on the right
side should have penetrated the lung but
for the edge of the ninth rib, and half an
inch more deep would have carried the
large lower cut into the abdominal cavity.
1t was regarded as astounding that this
should be true of somsny wounds.
DIR. LitChtield has profound admiration
for the self.control and courage of his
patient. He says there was scarcely any
result from what the medical men call
''shock," no sudden fall of temperature
or cold sweat. This is what the doctor
said to callers during the afternoon:
'tMr. Frick is dong we'll. There is
danger from the secondary effect of the
wounds and there + i'll be for week. He
has so far digested lis food well and is
doing well and have strong hopes no will
recover
The order, signed by Mr.. Frick and
posted at the Homestead works this morn
Ing, to the effect that men returning to
work wou d be insured against removal,
and which was given in lthe United Press
dispatches of last night, is regarded as
the final peace offehng of the firm to the
strikers. In this connection repre-
sentative of the firm makes an important
statement. Even if Mr.. Frick should
die, he said, 'the policy of the manage
ment in the present crisis will be strictly
adhered to-. The statement that Mr..
Carnegie is not in full accord with Mr..
Frick, in the course the latter has pur.
.aed of late, is absolutely and unqual-
ifiedly untrue"

HWhile it is true" states George n.
Knapp, of New Jersey, in the American
Agriculturist, "that nearly all incorpora-
ted towns have laws compelling the build
ing of sidewalks, and regulating their
width, material, etc, is it not as evident
that the necessity for some sidewalk in
the country is sufficiently great to war

would not, for a moment, advocate any
law which would compel the building
and maintenance of plank, flag, or even
gravel walks in the country, but we'll
defined path or side might be had
without injury to any one. 1t is true
that the average pathmaster would be OF
little use in carrying out a plan of this
nature, but certainly 1t is possible to so
construct law that the parsimonious
man can be made to fall in with his more
public spirited fellow citizens. / remem-
Der we'll New York farm worked some
years ago which had frontage Of nearly
five hundred feet on the road. At an
expeuse of less than ten dollars in labor
path four feet wide was constructed
along that whole front. The work con-
sisted simply in marking out, by means
of lines, the required width, using an
edge cutter to loosen the sod next to the
lines, and horse, with light plow, to
loosen up the earth and sod between the
lines; the iron scraper was then brought
into play, and the work of making
path was done, with the exception Of the
trimming up, which was performed with
a hoe. Near New York many of the
towns are 50 close together that thore is
practically no division line which is to
be seen by the casual observer. In most
cases these are macadsmized roads run
ming the whole distance through to the
city. Certainly there Is nothing which
will prevent the path | speak OF being
constructed at the side Of such road. In
some places it is done, and the expense

it has been considered a good invest.

wonders or Climate Chanre..

The changes of terrestrial climate have
been many and various. Myrtles and
tree ferns cnce flourished In Greenland:
coral insects built on the shores of Mel
Vile Island; nautiluses sailed over what
must then have been the tepid seas about
Spitzbergen. But with the lapse of ages
the scene changed aud worse than arctic
rigors spread into regions now enjoying
temperate climate, possibly not for the
first tune. The Pcrluian was certainly
an Indictment age, according to the Edin-
burgh Review, and its inclemency seems
even to have reached the point of glacia-
tIon in the west OF England aud Ireland,
yet it was preceded and succeeded by a
long prevalence of tropical conditions.
