In 1880 there was only Il city, New
York, which had a population in ex-
cess Of a million. In 1890 there we're
three such cities, New York, Chicago,
and Philadelphia. In 1870 there we're
only fourteen cities which contained
more than 100, 900 inhabitants. In
1880 this number had increased to
twenty, and in 1890 to twenty eight
just double the number in 1870. An
exchange remarks that by an ingen-
ious calculation it is possible to ascer
tain after every decennial census the
centre of population for the whole
country, the country being regarded
as "a plane surface, itself without
weight, but capable Of sustaining
weight, and each inhaoitant being as
sumed to have the same weight and
to exert pressure upon a supposed
pivotal point directly proportional to
his distance therefrom. It is a Curl
Gus fact that the centre Of gravity,
thus established, has closely followed
1890 to 1890 the thirtieth degree of
north latitude, beginning in 100 about
twenty-three miles east Of Baltimore
and extending westward each decade
almost on a straight line until, in 1890,
it rested in southern Indiana, about
twenty miles east of Columbus.

The pest bed comfortables are now
made with wool instead of cotton for
the wadding. Such comfortables are
more expensive than those made of
cotton, and as yet can only be bought
at high-class city stores or places
where they make a speciality of by
gienic underwear. A friend Of the
writer's, having several pounds of
wool, went many miles to a little mill
where they still card and spin wool
into yarn for homemade stockings.
She found the owner full of work for
several months ahead, and when she
asked him hesitatingly, if he would
leave in laps some of the wool she
brought that she might use it in com
fortables, he exclaimed, "Why, that is
all the fad: Pm doing that all the time
for New York people" So she arrang-
ed to have enough left in that shape
for foul comfortables. 1T takes three
pounds for a heavy, aud two and a half
pounds for a light, covering. So if
you have one or two sheep, and can
find the man and his mill, you may
have the latest and best recommended
article of bedding. Use good material
for the outside, and make it with a
puff or frill of the material around the
edge. Cut the cloth for the frill or
buff about six inches wide, gather it
and put between the edges of the two
sides.

he said in a letter that semiscientists had

that the full of the moon was a Danger

suit of increased learning on the subject

The earliest mode Of writing was on
bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stone, ivo-
ry, bark and leaves of trees, and from
the latter the term ''leaves of a book"
is probably derived.
Copper and brass plates were very
early in use; and a bill of feofment
on copper was some years since dis
covered in India, bearing date 100
years before Christ.
Leather was also used, as well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyrus
came into vogue, and about the
eighth century the papyrus was SUI
perseded by parchment.
Paper, however, is of great antiq-
uity, especially among the Chinese;
but the first paper mill in England
was built in 1888 by a German, at
hartford, in Kent. Nevertheless, it
was nearly a century and a half
namely, in 1713-before Thomas Wat
kins, a %stationer, brought paper to
anything like perfection.
The first approach to a pen was the
stylus, a kind of iron bodkin; but the
Romans forbade its use on account Of
its frequent and even fatal use in
quarrels, and then it was made of
bone. Subsequently, reeds, pointed
and split, like pens as in the present
day, were used.

When bids are opened in Washington City

In store for some of the veteran mail con-

many bids. and some very low ones, too,
have been sent to the government for the
four-year contracts which begin July l.
l.. b. Hastings, OF the Hastings Steam
boat Company. has put in offers for all the
important contracts on the coast OF the
Pacific Northwest. His bids cover the
run between Tacoma and Victoria and
intermediate points, as well as for local
contracts. The most important contract
that he is after Is TO carry the mail from
Puget sound TO ALASKA Heretofore
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has
enjoyed a monopoly aud has had no COM
petition on this line. If Hastings should
DO awarded the contracts the establish
