The Immense Area of Texas.

A printed statement that the western
states of America are becoming crowded is
disproved by figures that, through various
manipulations, tell a most wonderful story
of the length and breadth of the magnifi-
cent empire lying west of the Mississippi.
OF the vast area of the larger western
states people who have not visited them
and travelled over them have no compre-
hensive idea. Texas, the largest of the
United States, has an area of 262, :2,90 square
miles. To the casual reader these figures
mean little; they show, however, that the
Lone Star State is more than 81 times as
large as the state of Connecticut.
If it were possible to run a railway train
from Connecticut to Texas and back in 4
day, and ii the train could take the entire
population of the Nutmeg state, as given in
the last census, at every trip, and upon its
return there should be as many persons in
the state as there were before the train left
with its cargo, and if each were placed upon
an acre OF ground upon its arrival in Texas,
the train would be obliged to make pa
trips, or to depopulate Connecticut pa
times, before accomplishing its mission,
and then there would remain In Texas 703,-
sos empty acres.
1t may be of passing interest to know
that such O train, made up of coaches 20
feet long, capable of accommodating so pas
sengers each. would extend over distance
of more than Sc miles--Kate Fields Wash

Whittier's Story of Lucy Larcom.

Some years ago, when q gentleman called
upon Whittier ON his birthday, the poet
told an interesting incident connected with
Miss Larcom.
She had been calling ON him that fore
noon While she was there a very ELUSIVE
minister called to pay his respects He re-
cited selections from Whtttier's writings,
and finally said: But I think the most
beautiful thing you have ever written was
Hannah Binding Shoes" and then pro
ceeded to speak of it as one of the finest
poems In the language.
Yes" SAID Whittier, II think myself It
is beautiful thing. I always admired il"
Thus encouraged, the minister reGted
several stanzas Of the poem in q very dra-
matte manner. AS he concluded, Whittier.
motiouinS to Miss Larcom, said: ALLOW
me TO introduce you to the author Of that
poem"
Whittier said. as he told the story after
ward. with a quiet laugh, Il never saw a
man who so much desired to sink through
the floor as did that minister. boston

Another tent is used as a refresh
ment hall. Meals will be provided

lemonade, etc, will be on sale. A
large number of benches will be put

EDWARD ATKINSON says that revenue
reform should aim to save from 80 to 40
cents head, annually, On each inhabitant,
in the expenses of the Government. 1.-THE
margin between National extravaganza and
National economy is 81 per head per
annum." The largest amount Of National
taxation in the history of our Government
was under President Arthur, in 1882, when
it amounted to S769 per head of population.
The lowest was under President Harrison,
in 1892, when it was but $5.42 per head.
The greatest amount ever paid out for all
purposes-pr principal and interest on the
public debt, pensions, cost of Government,
direct tax refund, sugar bounty, etc, was
under President Harrison, in 1s91-s5.55
per head. The lowest was under President
Cleveland, in 1s86-$4.23 per head.

that they did not see more hard fighting
than they did They did great deal when
they put themselves under the orders of the
Government. If it didn't fall to their lot to
repel Picketts charge, or get into the bloody
hell of Shiloh, it was because the Govern
