That by said act of March 4, 1893. forty
three counties are formed into twenty-five
districts, TO each of which one Senator is
apportioned. Eleven of said districts. COM
posed of twenty-one counties, contained l4S,-
204 male inhabitants above the age Of TWEEN
ty-one years, while the other eleven OF
said districts. composed of twenty-five coun-
ties, contained 97.207 male Inhabitants over
twenty-one years of age. Said hrst-named
eleven districts contained SOFT more male
inhabitants according to said enumeration
of 1859 than were contained in said latter
districts, and by such apportionment the
senatorial representation of 1884 male in
habitants twenty-one years of age of said
districts, being the unit for two Senators
with a fraction of 1914 in excess, is wrong
fully denied to the counties contained in
said districts. and is given to the counties
contained in said other eleven districts,

FACTS A6OOT LIVE STOCK.
Russia Has More Horses Than Any Othel
Country.

The most populous horse country in
the world is Russia, in Europe. 1t has
2O,O0O,OOO of horses. The United
States comes next, with horse popu-
lation of more than 1000, 900. In pro-
portion to the number of inhabitants
the United States is far richer in
horses than Russia. But in that pro-
portion the United States is in turn
far surpassed by the Argentine Repub-
lie, where, according to the latest ac-
cessible figures, there are few more
horses than people. The countries of
western and southern Europe are
thinly populated with horses compared
with the American continent and
Russia. Italy, with human popula-
tion of more than 10000, 900, has only
100000 horses, but it has almost twice
as many mules and donkeys as horses.
Spain has only 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 49,,
100000 swine. There is also larger
proportion of pigs to the human popu-
lation than in any other country
larger even than in Ireland, a country
which is popularity but mistakenly sup
posed to be the Utopia of the pig. The
country of the sheep, par excellence,
Is Australia. On that continent there
are few more than 5000, 900 people,
but there are 62,00O,0O0 sheep; that is
to say, twenty sheep to every man,
woman and child. In the United States
we have only about 47,OOO,OOO sheep,
which, though a larger sheep popula-
ton than that of any other country
except Australia and the Argentine
Republic, is not proportionately so
great number as several other coun-
tries possess. British India has more
cattle than any other country, but the
United States has nearly as many
upwards of 100000 However, the
Argentine Republic again leads in the
number of cattle in proportion to hui
man beings. If the cattle in Argen-
tina were divided equally among all the
people, every man, woman and child
would have five cattle to take care of,
and there would be enough left to give
one additional critter each to almost a
million of the people. Considered
from the point of view of farm ami
mails, the Argentine Republic is prob
ably the most important country in
the world

THE FIRST DINING CAR.
Said to Have Been Improvised from an
Ordinary Day Coach.

Said to Have Been Improvised from an
Ordinary Day Coach.
A great deal of dispute has arisen
at different times concerning the first
dining cars, and when they were first
used and on what'roads. The Pittsburgh
Post gives the following as having been
derived from man who is represented
as a we'll known electrician and
chemist, but whose name, unfortunate
", is not given:
1.-THE first dining cars run in this
country, or any other for that matter,
were run between New York and Chi
eago via the Northern Central, Grand
Trunk and Michigan Central in the
year 1853. The officers of these differ
ent companies met in New York in the
spring of that year, and among other
things discussed was the feasibility OF
running a dining car over the con-
Meeting lines, especially on one train
then known as the lightning express,
which ran between New York and Chi
cago. Trains as fast as this one were
compelled to make two stops for meals
while making the run-one at Mar
shalPs, the other at Jackson, twenty
minutes for each meal, making forty
one minutes of valuable time lost.
AFTER discussing the question for
some time it was finally decided to try
t. The seats were taken out Of an or
tinary coach and tables were put along
'ither side, with stools fastened to the
loor, giving it the appearance OF a
'estaurant. The rear half of the
baggage car was fitted up to answer
the purpose of kitchen, and there the
cooking was done. Some trouble was
experienced in bringing the food from
one car to the other, and when crossing
the platform the cinders would rain
down on the head of the waiter and
into the dishes he was carrying. Some
times the waiter in trying to hurry
across the platform. would strike the
side OF the door with his tray, spilling
the dishes and narrowly avertrng fall
ing from the train himself. The first
advancement was made in the walters,
the company after awhile being very
particular to get those of certain
color, all of about one size and good
looking. The car was a success from
the start, the meals being fifty cents
each.''
Ihe gentleman who recalled the
foregoing was at that time" the Post
says, dining car conductor on one of
these cars,

IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

Servants Cost S7,BOO a Year.

When an Establishment with Thirty-Six
Servants Cost 1900 Year.
The following extracts from an an
cient account book give an idea of the
style of living in Paris, at the end of
the 18th century:
The household of grand seigneur,
says the Boston Globe, consisted of an
intendent, an almOner, a secretary, an
ecuyer, two Wallets, a janitor, steward,
an officer of the buffers pantry, a
cook, a buffers pantryman, two kitch-
en- attendants, a kitchen maid, two
pages, six or tour Iackeys, two coach
men, two positions, two carriage at
tendants, four stable boys, ''Swiss"
or porter, an intendent's valet, an al
moner's valet, a secretary's valet, an
ecuyer's valet, and a stewards valet.
The almoner's salary was $40, the
ecuyer's $50, the stewards $1OO, the
cooks $50 and so on, the entire ex-
penditure in wages of 36 persons for
one year amounting to $500.
The entire expenditure in food,
drink, fuel and light of 36 persons for
one year amounted to 81 ,9O7.5O.
The grand seigneur's table, served for
12 persons twice day, and kitchen,
laundry, fuel and light, cost in all, per
year, $2,376.15.
The grand seigneur had ID horses for
his carriages, and 16 saddle horses, and
their entire cost in food and treatment
was, per year, So, III.
Thus the maintenance of a well-reg-
ulated household, comprising 36 serv-
ants and 80 horses, cost in Paris in 1, ZOO,
at the most liberal estimate about
$500.
If the grand seigneur were married
the lady had at her service an ecuyer,
a maid, whose function was to do honor
to her and be her constant companions;
chambermaid who combed and
dressed her hair, washed and ironed
her fine linen and repaired her laces; a
valet, who was man milliner; page,
a steward, cook, butler, kitchen
maid, four lackeys, a coachman, a pos
tilion, coachman's boy, seven car
riage horses and four saddle horses.
If there were children there were a
governess, nurse, preceptor, a valet,
two lackeys, servant for the nurse,
and the additional expenditure in
wages amounted to only S493.
A gentleman who lived in an inn and
was content with one valet, two lack
eys and hired coach, if he lived lux
uriously, spent 1864 year.

The Joint Committee on Mines and
Mining met last night and very inter-

The author of the bill, Senator Lang
ford. stated that it was the mining in
dustrv throughout the State that wished
the abolishment, or rather the transfer of
the bureau.
Professor Fairbanks, geologist of the
Mining Bureau, was present and stated
that under existing circumstances he did
not hesitate to say that the change would

&C long as nolitical considerations ex-
;Stad in the bureau it was impossible to

every time. His theory. was That the
stndy of mineralogy and geology were
both necessary to a successful! knowIeoge
of mining. and such a knowledge would

bureau over to the Regents OF the 7 nj
