Much comment has been caused nv
the almost simultaneous publication
OF tho views on tho increase OF ner-
vousnoss by DR. 8. Weir Mitchell, OF
Philadelphia aud DR.. William Erb, of
heidelberg, Germany. Both these
eminent experts declare that nervous
diseases arc beginning to appear as
hereditary complaints. and that fully
onc-fourth of tho deaths in the United
States md in Germany are due to col
lapse OF the system induced by nervous
exhaustion. Perhaps in this country
tho greatest factor in producing ner.
vous diseases among men is the habit
OF beginning business life too early,
and among women the custom of over
taxing tho mind ill school aud ne.
gicct of proper physical exercise. Tho
subject is we'll worth careful con-
sideration by parents who wish to sec
their children enjoy useful and hap

There Is some controversy AZ to tha
first American play. In a recent notice
the New York Times said that "rhe
contrast" was the first play written 10y
an American author that was over
acted. Edward Eggleston corrected
the statement by saying that "The
Prince of Parthia," much earlier
piece, written by Thomas Godfrey,
a son of the inventor Of tho quadrant.
was played by Hallam's American
Company in Philadelphia as early as
1767. The Times, however, clings to
its original statement aud expresses
the opinion, based on considerable in
vestigatiou, that "rhe Prince Of Par.
thia" was never performed, though it
was advertised for presentation on
April "a, 1765.

The cost of transportation has been
on the decline for tho last ten or
twelve years, and even for a much
longer periodY remarks tho Boston,
Cultivator. TIE decline in rates per
ton per mile on all tho railroads OF
the country has been from 1. $50 cents
to .S67 cents from 1882 to 1892. The
decline for this period was tho least in
the middle and central northern
States, and the greatest in the South
Atlantic and Gulf States and the
northwestern States. The latter EN-
breced the Granger systems. Tho re-
suit Of these heavy declines has been
disastrous in many instances, being
more than tho railroads could bear.
1t goes to show, however, that the
cost of transportation is downward,
which is an important factor in the
cost OF merchandise. Time and cost

A correspondent of the American
Dairyman asks for tho annual value
Of the agricultural products OF the
country. The question is one of the
most difficult TO answer. The census
Of 1890 docs not do IL satisfactorily,
and since that date the aggregate
value OF farm production has steadily
increased. President Harrison, in one
OF his latest messages, estimated 1t at
"a, 800, 900, 900 annually. The present
Secretary Of Agriculture. in his late
report, is silent on this point, although
he does say that there are six millions
Of farms in the country on which
thirty millions of the population live.
Our opinion is that the Seoretary's es-
innate OF the number of farms exceed
by full million the actual figures. To
answer our friends query, nothing
better than an approximate estimate
can be offered, and his own is about
as valuable as any other. The whole
thing is mere guesswork.

A River at the Bottom, OF His Well.

While digging a well on the farm
OF John Walters, near Hartline,
Douglas county, Wash, the work
men at depth OF seventy-dx feet
detected hollow, answering sound
20 the blows Of the pick. Tapping
the side OF the wall, they broke into
a cavern, with good-sized stream OF
water flowing along it's bed. They
entered the space for ten or twelve
feet, but declined to explore the sub.
terranean hall any further. The
stream was easily diverted into the
well, and Mr.. Walters will have an In.
oxhaustible supply Of puro running
water. The course OF the stream
was not parallel with the ravine In
which the we'll was being sunk, but
crossed II nt almost right angles.

BURGLARS FOOLED.
They Think to Make a Haul at the De
pot, but get Nary Ducat.
The Safe was Open, Ready FOR Inspeo-
ton, but Money Drawers were Empty

Depot burglars are everywhere this
winter, and their operations are reported
from every locality. Again last Satur-
day night some OF the gentry with safe
blowing proclivitics visited both depots
in this city, but their coming had been
anticipated, and not a penny did they
get. They first called at tie Northern
Pacific, but Sol Kitchen now keeps a
watchiuI eye over that locality, and the
marauders did not tarry. 1t is said that
SOILS gentle and finely modulated tones
would put to route the most hardened
thief and ii he found one on which his
voice failed, he would try other means
which woull insure for his victim lodging
at the morgue.
At the Union Pacific depot the burg
lars cautiously removed pane of glass
from back window, and were soon in
side gazing longingly at the steel front
OF the safe, and doubtless prospecting on
how long it would take to bore a ,hole
through the massive door, and chuckling
over a rich haul that would give a silver
lining to the cloud cast 10y hard times.
And then we picture the following scene
As No. was getting his implements OF
war ready to commence work, his COM
panion in crime advanced to try the safe
door. The door swung on its hinges at
his touch; the safe was opened and the
powder saved, ana now for a sack in
which to carry away the golden sheciiles
that represented the earnings OF Il grind
ing corporation.n The sack was found,
but the shecllles were not forthcoming; !;
Agent Huffman had spoiled their game
by little iorethought, and each night
had deposited the companys money and
yaluables in bank, and in order that
the safe might not be ruined by burg
lars, had left it unlocked. The thieves
could find nothing of value in the depot,
and SO left things as they found them,
and went their way.

For some time past a crowd OF twelve
or fifteen boys averaging about dozen
years OF age have made it a regular
habit to visit the n. 2. r. h. yards and
ride back and forth on the trains that
were switching there. They were re-
peatedly warned OF danger, but they paid
little attention to the warning, until
Marshal Lanning took the matter in
hand. Last Saturday his appearance in
the railroad yards caused a stampede,
and for while there was fear and trem-
bling mongst the youngsters OF the city,
as they believed the doors OF the city
bastilc, yawaed for them, but on prom
ising to behave in the future, the guar
dian OF the city's peace and dignity let
them 20 home, and the way the lads
carried in wood for their mothers for
while was caution. The marshal will
not deal so liniently with the boys next
time.
Geo. W. Landess has returned from

performed on his arm. Tae operation

Mr.. Landess is highly elated at the re-
