A Census of Animals.

The most populous horse country in
the world is Russia in Europe. 1t has
100000 of horses. The United
States comes next, with a horse popu-
lation of more than 100000. In pro-
portion to the number of inhabitants
the United States is far richer in horses
than Russia. But in that proportion
the United States is in turn far sur
passed by the Argentine Republic,
where, according to the latest access1
BILE figures, there are few more horses
than people
The countries of western and south
ern Europe are thinly populated with
horses, compared with the American
continent and Russia. Italy, with IL
human population of more than 30,-
100000, has only 10000 horses. But
it has almost twice as many mules and
donkeys as horses. Spain has only a
few more than 100000 horses, or about
one horse to every sixty people. Most
of the cavaliers of Spain ride on
donkeys. The United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland has only
about 100000 horses.
The United States is the most popu-
lous mule country in the world 1t is
also, by many millions, the most pOpu-
lous pig country, possessing over 46,
100000 of swine. There is, also, a
larger proportion of pigs to the hui
man population than in any other
country-larger even than in Ireland
country which is popularly but mis-
takenly supposed to be the Utopia of
the pig. The country of the sheep, par
excellence, is Australia.
On that continent there are a few
more than 100000 people, but there
are 62,000,0O0 sheep-that is to say,
twenty sheep to every man, woman
and child. In the United States we
have only about 100000 sheep,
which, though a larger sheep popula-
ton than that of any other country eX-
cept Australia and the Argentine Re
public is not prOportiOnately so great
number as several other countries
possess. British India has more cattle
than any other country, but the United
States has almost as many-upWard of
100000.
However, the Argentine Republic
again leads in the number of cattle in
proportion to human beings. If the
cattle in Argentina were divided equal
ly among all the people, every man,
woman and child would have five cat
tie to take care of, and there would be
enough left to give one additional crit
ter each to almost million of the peo-
pie Considered from the point of
view of farm animals, the Argentine
Republic is probably the most import
ant country in the world.-Youth's s

FREAKS or MEMORY.
Here are Some Queer Facts About Vari.
GUS Noted Men,


Here are Some Queer Facts About yari.
GUS Noted Men.
Great men are always eccentric, and
men who want the world to think they
are great begin the jugglery of eccen-
tricity early in life and keep it up. The
genuine genius has great deal OF
trouble with his memory.
Henry Clay couldn't repeat verse of
any poem. He couldn't repeat the old
long metre doxology, praise God from
whom all blessings fow," but he never
forgot an argument, name or face.
DR.. Leyden, the intimate friend of
Sir Walter Scott, could repeat an act
of Parliament after hearing it's first
reading. 1t is an old story that Milton
could repeat Homer.
Charles James Fox once paid a visit
to the town of GOrcum. He was relat-
ing an incident that occurred there,
but could not think of the name of the
town. The next day he was giving a
dinner, and while carving he startled
his guests by calling, "Gorcum, Cor
cum" The name of the town had just
occurred to him.
Syndey Smith pretended to despise
memory. He said he saw no more
sense in remembering all he had read
than the dinners that had made him
fat.
The story has been told for 100 years
that Cyrus knew the names of all his
soldiers. Emperor Hadrian could re-
peat 1000 words in the order he heard
them. Angelo had all Of Dante and
Petriarch in his memory. 1t is said
that Pascal knew the Bible by heart.
Leibnitz could repeat nearly the whole
of Virgil.
A London reporter took no notes, and
yet, when an unexpected debate sprang
up, and he was left alone he could
write it out verbatim. When listening
he closed his eyes. He called it ''being
held UP by the ears"
Prof. Lawson boasted that he could,
if the Bible were lost, repeat the whole
of it with the exception of a few
verses. Lord Macaulay made the same
boast about ''Pilgrims Progress" and
Paradise Lost" 1t will be remem-
bered that none of the works named
were lost, so that the gentlemen were
never put to the test. 1t is a fact,
however, that Macauley had wonder
full memory. When a boy he went
with his father to call on a gentleman
upon whose table lay Scott's Lay of
the Last Minstrel" Young Macaulay
read it, and when he reached home he
repeated it.
The most remarkable feat of memory
on record was that of an itinerant ac-
tor of England, William Lyon. He
won a bet of crown bowl of punch
that he could repeat the whole of an
issue of the London Daily Advertiser
after hearing it read. This was the
more remarkable because, as readers
of newspapers know, there is no sort
of connection between advertisements
and the variety is endless.
Jedediah Buxton was illiterate. He
could tramp over a tract of ground and
tell its contents in square feet or inches
with eXactness.

An Ear1y St1rt

'You did not run fast enough" said
the station agent to the passenger who
missed his train. Il ran fast enough,
but [ did not start soon enough" said
the passenger, as soon as he could get
breath enough to reply. When we see
farmer drawing out manure while
other farmers are planting, planting
while others are hoeing, and killing
weeds when his grass is drying up in
the field, or harvesting unripe corn
after the frost has killed the stover,
we think that, no matter how hard he
may have worked, Or how busy he has
Kept since he began the spring work,
the trouble is that he did not start soon
enough. He should have had a part
Of his land fall-plowed, he should have
had his manure drawn to the field dur
Ing the fall and winter; he should have
had seed and fertilizer at home before
the ground thawed, and the team and
tools should have been in shape to
work right on without breakage or him
drance from the first Then he would
not have been in a position to realize
quite so fully the truth of the old
proverb regarding the length and al
most hopelessness of the. stern chase"

Treatment of Matches.

That watch may keep good time,
says Chambers's Journal, it should be
carefully treated; it should be wound
at the same time daily, and when not
worn should be placed in the same
position, always hung up, or always
laid down, as every watch goes differ
entity in different positions. In watches
having double case, the outer one
should never be left open. If it is left
open even for one night the glass is
covered with thin film of dust, which
will gradually enter the works through
even the tiniest openings in the case
Watches should be wound in the
morning, because spring fully wound
up will more readily overcome the dis
turbances produced by the movements
Of the wearer. Springs will not break
SO easily if watches are carefully
wound up and not taken out of warm
pocket and placed directly against a
cold wall or on marble slab: for that
reason protective mat is desirable.
The changes Of the oil, the variations
in temperature, the density and humid
ity Of the air, all greatly affect the
going Of watch, and it is only the
lever watch of the most perfect finish
which almost neutralizes those adverse
influences. No watch keeps perfectly
correct time. Even the best chronome-
ters, used in observatories and on board
ships, must be regulated according to
tables which fix the variations to which
watches are subject
A watch should be cleaned every two
or three years. In time the oil decom-
poses, gets mixed with the particles Of
dust which enter the works of even
the best-closing watch, begins to act
as a grinding material, and wears out
the working parts. 1t frequently hap
pens that watch requires cleaning
oftener than once in two years, espec-
tally if it closes badly or is exposed to-
much dust and dirt. Any one who has
the misfortune to drop his watch into
water should take it at once to the
matchmaker, to have it tN1en to pieces
and cleaned; delay of even an hour
may spoil the watch forever.

Found Dead i'm His Bathtub,

Washington, Aug. Is. ~ Mr.. G.. P.
Benedict, who formerly had charge Of
the branch Office of the Adams Express
Company in the Treasury Department,
was found dead in a bathtub at his
residence here yesterday. He was ar
rested some years ago and pleaded
guilty to embezzling funds of the COM
pany, and was sentenced to a term in
the penitentiary. 1t was always be-
lieved that he had lent the missing
money to an intimate friend, a banker,
in difficulties, who afterwards failed
and went West, and that he sacrificed
himself to save his friend. Benedict
was sent to Albany, where he remain
ed for a little more than q year Just
before his marriage President Cleve-
land pardoned him, saying that he
could see no possible reason for his
incarceration. His death is ascribed
to natural causes.

A LABRADOR VOLCANO.
Simple-Minded Fishermen Thought the
End of the World Had Come.


End of the World Had Come.
st. Johns, n. B., Aug. 15.-Intelli-
gence has been received here confirm
ing previous reports of a Labrador
volcano.
Fishermen off Cape Harrison, Lab
rador were startled on Thursday, Au-
gust 3, by strange noises on shore and
detonations like the firing of heavy
artillery. Shortly afterwards the top
Of the cape was seen to be all ablaze
a pillar Of flame shooting UP to a great
height Some of the most venturesOme
fishermen landed, thinking the brush
wood covering the ground might be on
fire and intending to extinguish it. But
they found that the fire came out Of
the earth. A large part Of the top Of
the cliff had fallen In, leaving a vast
chasm, from which issued a stream Of
fire, stones, cinders and steam. The
terrified fishermen returned to their
vessels, declaring that the world was
coming to an end. Many left the re-
gion in fright, spreading the story Of
the phenomenon along the coast.

strange to the ears Of outsiders. On
this account Young could not maintain
belief in both the book and his creed
of multiple marriage, and that is why
he started in on his own account. The

doings of the people whom we believe
first inhabited this continent, the fore

William Whitmaster, a United States
deputy marshal, has been shot and
killed in the strip by laura Maundas,
alias Tom King, the female horse
thief. The marshal was pursuing the
woman and met his death from am

peated punishment has had no effect.
This last is her gravest crime. Every

FINANCIAL PHLEBOroMY

There are men and women yet living
whose bodies bear witness to form of
therapeutics in vogue forty years ago,
but which has passed away before the
greater intelligence and more accurate
knowledge to which the medical pro-
feSSion has attained. The sears of the
cup" tell of time when the doctors
believed that the blood is the seat of
most of 1.-The ills that flesh is heir to-
and that the remedy is to reduce the
supply of that vital fluid. If fever
was sapping the strength of the patient
apply the ''cups" and remove the source
of his strength. Armed with his lance,
his cup" and his calOmeI, the doctor of
forty years ago went forth to encourage
the industry of the undertaken.
What blood is to the body, money is to
the body polite. 1t carries on the eX-
changes of our system as money does
those of the nation. 1t is the medium
of exchange by which food and drink
are converted into bone and muscle and
flesh, just as money forms the medium
which carries from man to man the
products of their respective labor. As
we can have too much or too little
blood, resulting i'll disease, so we can
have too much or too little money, re-
sulting inevitably in bodily ills. What
Initiated blood is to our systems, debased
money is to the social system.
Banks are to the social body what the
heart is to that of man. They receive
the circulating medium from the eX-
tremitieS, and send it out again where
needed. The money courses through
them in ceaSeleSs activity, performing
its useful functions. Idle money is as
useless as idle blood, and as mischiev-
Gus. A clot of blood stops circulation,
and produces paralysis; the stoppage of
money, either in banks or safety vaults
or old stockings, paralyZcs trade.
The people who Withdraw their money
from the banks in times like the present
practice finance on the discarded theory
of tie doctors of forty years ago; they
bleed the patient, taking away the fluid
| essential to recovery. They apply the
lance and the cup to the body polite
They weaken it, rob it of energy, aid
the disease by removing the vehicle of
remedies, and aggravate the conditions
which alarm them. The doctor now
gives fresh instead of sitting air: feeds
instead Of depletes the blood. Some
time, when the therapeutics of finance
are commonly understood, men will
learn to put their money into instead OF
taking it from the banks in times of
furry; to keep it moving instead OF
locking it up. Just now, in their i'm
perfect knowledge, they phlebotomize
the Datient
