Vast Extent of Texas,

Texas, the largest of the United
States, has an area of 262, $50 square
miles, says the Memphis Appeal-Ava-
lanche. To the casual reader these
figures may seem very little; they
show, however, that the Lone Star
State is more than fifty-four times as
large as the State of Connecticut If
it we're possible to run a railroad train
from Connecticut to Texas and back in
a day, and if the train could take the
entire population of the Nutmeg State
trip, and upon its return to Connect
cut there should be as many persons in
the State rs there was before the train
left with its cargo, and if each were
placed upon an acre of ground upon
his arrival in Texas, the train would
be obliged to make 224 trips, or to
depopulate Connecticut 224 times, be-
fore accomplishing its mission, and
then there would remain in Texas
703, 80S empty acres. If the entire
State of Texas were planted with corn
and the hills we're two feet apart and
the rows were three feet apart, and il
every man, woman and child in the
State of Connecticut were set to work
in the field to hoe the corn, aad each
person were able to and did hoe two
hills in five minutes, it would take this
army of laborers seven years $50 days
and seven hours to hoe every hill of
corn in the State, laboring continu-
ously day and night 365 days each
year. The man who fears that he
could not elbow his way around in the
crowded West without chatting the nap
of his coat sleeves may gather some
solace from the statement that the
entire population of the globe, AGO.
100000 souls, divided into families Of
five persons each, could be located in
Texas, each family with house on o
half-acre lot, and there would still re-
main 50,000, 900 vacant family lots.

bestowed on this automatic statement,
sa. -h" fIlobe-Democrat, may serve to
Gle. =. several dark points in sociol-
ogy, and among them the fact that
both at picnics and elsewhere the
widow Is more attractive than the
young girl. The power OF the widow
is so well known as to need no demon
stration. 1t is everywhere recognized.
A widow will come into cummunity
and at the very first picnic will take
her choice of young men despite the
most earnest efforts OF all the young
girls present. Her success Is due in no
small measure to knowledge of the
fact that a well-fed man is always in a
good humor and disposed to regard the
feeder as a benefactor. The widow
knows how to do the feeding, hence her
prominence.
Speaking of the eating, however,
few people ever saw picnic at which
from rs to so per cent. of the viands
were not rendered unsightly II not un-
eatable by carelessness in transporta-
tion. The baskets are crowded into a
wagon, often piled on top OF each other,
some are upset, others have their CON
tents tossed upside down, and cake and
sandwiches, sugar and salt, custards
and bread are hopelessly intermixed.
A hard-boiled egg, by some mysterious
mischance, finds its way into the mid
die OF pie; pot of mustard empties
Its tingling contents over the squares
OF dainty sponge cake; the neck Of the
champagne bottle is prematurely bro
ken, and dozen disasters of this ma
ture, combined with the unwelcome
presence of ants, spiders and flies, rem
der the eating thing to be hurried
over as soon as possible.
Not so the love making. From the
time the pairs of happy lovers climb
on the cars or squeeze into the crowded
wagons that are to bear them to the
slysian fields, the billing and the cooling

A Wonderful Discovery.

1t is reported that Professor EN-
merich, of Berlin, has made a very
valuable discovery in the treating of
infectious diseases. In the course OF
his experiments he has discovered that
the blood of an animal which has re-
covered from an infectious disease
will, if injected into it's veins, cure an
other animal suffering with the same
disease. At the last meeting of the
Berlin Physiological Society some
statements we're made regarding the
actual experience of those who had
followed out Professor Emmerich's
idea experimentally that were strongly
confrmatory of their soundness. Mice
had been inoculated by the serum or
wstery portion of horses blood, the
horse having already being cured of
the disease; the result was that the
mice, which had been previously in
oculated with the bacilli of lockjaw,
did not die when subjected to the
treatment, while those left to them
selves perished. Experiments are to
be tried on human beings. New Or
leans Picayune.

go steadily on until the falling shadows
put an end to tho excursion. There is
pleasing absence of restraint that en-
ables the lover to make more progress
during one day than otherwise he would
be able to attain during weeks of calls,
theater, opera and balls, and many a
pair comparatively Indifferent to each
other have gone to a picnic and re-
turned home firmly set in the resolve to
enter as soon as possible on the miseries
Of matrimony. AS o rule, lovers are
not particularly sensitive to the opin-,
Ions of their fellow human beings. If
they werc, the number Of marriages
would fall off 80 per cent. In single
year. If they We're in the least dis
turbed by the whisperings, the grin
nings, the nudgings, the glances of
merriment that continually go on about
them, men and women would shun
courting as they would the plague.
But all these things are nothing
to them; If they arc seen, they are
not in the least regarded, for the lover
has hide like a rhinoceros to every
thing but his passion, and is not in the
least disturbed by incidents or remarks
that would drive other people wild.
Particularly Is this obtuseness to pub
lie opinion visible at picnics. As soon
as possible after arriving on the ground,
the company divides into couples, and.
seated blissfully on logs or powders.
