Then he dug out the center of a

He has already cost me over 500 in

right in attributing my few gray hairs
to the misery endured walking the
floor with him at night during the
first year of his life.
What has he ever done to pay me
for that?

ripple of laughter because he has es'

During all ages the most prevalent
and characteristic custom of the East
Ell festival has been the use of eggs.
Sometimes they were eaten, oftener
kept as amulets or used in playing
games. The pagan people at their
New Year feasts presented each other
with eggs as type of the new life of
nature, which they colored to show
their joy at the return of spring, while
the Romans celebrated their New
Year with egg games in honor of Cas-
tor ard Pollux. The Druids used
eggs in the worship of the goddess
Eostre.

enormously, not only in actual hut IN
per capita wealth. The actual wealth
of the New England and North At
lantic States had nearly trebled. So
had that of the Central and Western
States. The per capita wealth of the
New England had nearly doubled ;
that of New York had nearly treblef,
and that of New England and the
North Atlantic States together had
more than doubled
But before another census was
taken the revival of the South began.
The troops were Withdrawn in 1876
and the carpet-baggers were driven
out or turned down, and the entire
section, delivered at last from domes-
tic disturbances, devoted itself to the
work of repairing its fortunes. IN
1880 the total actual wealth OF The sec
iion had increased nearly 100 per cent.
over 1870, and nearly 10 per cent. over
1860. The per capita wealth had in
creased from 1886 in 1870 to $454 in
1880, so that while the losses OF the
war seemed to have been recovered
in actual wealth, the recovery was
not quite complete when measured by
the per capita wealth.
Since 1880 the work of developing
the South has gone on rapidly, and in
another ten years the traces of wars
ruin had been wiped out, and the
South could point to phenomenal
record of growth. In 1890 the total
actual wealth of the section had in
creased to $9,929, 5l3, l09-nearly 200
per cent. increase aver 1870, 80 per
cent. increase over 1880 and nearly
100 per cent. increase over the wealth
possessed when the war broke out.
The growth in population meantime
had also been rapid, but her capita
wealth had increased from 1886 in
1870 and $454 in 1880 to 1914 in 1890,
at last reaching and surprising, after
years of hard labor, the per capita
wealth enjoyed in the flush times
before the war.
Except only few of the States of
the Northwest, no other part of the
country has increased at such a rate.
The recovery has not however, extend
ed equally to all the States of the
South. The actual as well as the per
capita wealth of South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana in 1890 was
still less than in 1860, and the per
capita wealth of Georgia, Arkansas,
Alabama and North Carolina was
still short of complete return to that
of 1860. 1t must be remembered of
course that the valuation in 1860 in

greater.
Texas has grown most rapidly. The
war reduced its actual wealth more
80 per cent. and its per capita wealth
about IS per cent. In 1890 in 1890
its wealth was more than double that
of 1880, more than thirteen times that
of 1870 and six times that of 1860.
Its per capita wealth OF $942 1890
was greater than that of any other
Southern State, except Florida. 1t
leads them all in actual wealth with

with $1,172,222,313. The per capita
wealth of Florida is 1895, though in &C

South. Kentucky ranks third in per

appeared. The first break in the Re-

in the Senate was made Wednesday,
when Senator Dubois, of Idaho, in a

of the Republican Senators those who
favor early action appeared to be in a

THE EXCITEMENT IN FRANCE.

The excitement consequent on the
cruel murder OF The lamented President
Carnot continues in many parts OF
France. and manifests itself mainly In
attacks on Italians that are wholly I'M
reasonable. An Intense sensation was
caused In Paris yesterday by an unau-
thorized report published In one Of the
city journals. that NJ. Billot, the French
Ambassador to Italy. had been assas-
sinated at Rome. But the Government
promptly ascertained the falsity OF the
report, seized and suppressed the journal
that had published " and the excite
ment ceased.
At Lyons the riotns following the
murder continues. and at Grenoble the
Italian Consulate was wrecked. But the
Government Is doing Its best to suppress
the unwarranted assaults on innocent
Italian residents. and italy will, OF
course, be disposed to make allowances
for the excited condition OF public mind.
The murderer. Santo. gives the best
proof OF the little Importance attaching
to hts nationality by the boast that he is
nothing but an Anarchist, that he glo-
ries in the title, and that his act was one
of vengeance for the death OF Ravachol,
valiant and Henry.
The feeling against the Italians will
no doubt become more reasonable after
the election Of the French President.

One striking feature Of the German
American population is the practice Of
