Facts and Figures.

Last week the Minneapolis mills made
the smallest amount of flour for years, only
7l,675 barrels against 1S0,S30 barrels the
week before and 1873, $50 in 1898. Export
shipments 1860 barrels, against 1895
previous week. The strike was largely
responsible for the large shrinkage. The
flour output for June was S64,075 barrels
against I'll ,425 in 1893; SS4,955 in 1892
and 529,670 in 1891.
1t is remarkable fact that the deepest
parts of the sea are in all cases very near
the land. The deepest sounding known,
1865 fathoms, or 27,03O feet, was obtained
ITO miles from the Kurile Island; the
next deepest, 1861 fathoms, was found 70
miles north of Porto Rico. With a few
exceptions like these the depth of the
oceans rs far as now known does not reach
1000 fathoms, or four sea miles. The
North Pacific has a mean depth of $500
fathoms, the South Pacific of 2400, the
Indian Ocean of 20O0, and the Atlantic,
by far the best investigated ocean, has a
mean depth of 2200 fathoms.
The total number of cattle killed in
Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis and
Omaha in 1880 was about 100000 in
1885 it had advanced to 81, 450,OO0 and
reached total of $4,000 in 1890,
and was in excess of 100000 the last
year. The expectation of beef has greatly
enlarged in late years, although the total
for 1898 was decidedly reduced in compar-
ison with several years previously. In
1890, says the Cincinnati Price Current,
the total reached sos, 900, 900 pounds, the
maximum recorded; for ten years ending
with 1892 the annual average was 261 ,000,-
600 pounds; in 1898 it was 100000, 900
pounds, having value of nearly S25, 000-
600; the average annual export for ten
years ending with 1892 was S21 100000.
The Philadelphia Record has found a
chemist who believes that meats of all
kinds will eventually be made artificially
by chemical processes. "Within this
century," he says, 81 expect to see
synthetic steaks, roasts and chops entered
upon the bills of fare at our leading hotels
and restaurants, and they will be prepared
so artistically as to appeal to the sense OF
beauty as well as to the appetite. At first,
of course, in order to appease the natural
prejudices against anything so novel, a
choice will be afforded between the rea
and artificial; but eventually the killing OF
animals for food will be regarded in all civ
| ilized countries as barbarous. That this is
not an absurd prediction is well assured
| to those who have observed what synthetic
chemistry has already done in exactly
reproducing mustard, sugar, butter, ice
lemon juice and tlavoring essences, be
sides madden, turpentne and many Other
compounds used extensively in commerce.

Right for Rights Sake.

"In doing right for rights sake, we do
not Danish or evade the law of penalty for
disobedence. All obedience is pervaded
with solemn sense of fear. So all re-
ligion is pervaded with stern sense of
duty. But these are diffused and dissolved
elements, giving atmosphere, hue and tone
to the figure of earnest, active, moral crav-
ing for the ideal in the full front of con-
seriousness. In it intellect interposes no
bar, but is consenting, heart is adoring,
grateful, enthusiastic, will enlisted and de-
termined, and together they make up the
spiritual movement which is religions
heart. Christianity is a religion of love in
this magnificent sense, the conscious soul
attracted by the supreme moral good, see
ing it as sufficient, and gladly moving to-
ward it in God and for man. Rec. Ihom-
as W. Ulmdn, in Today.

Lady Henry Somerset and Miss Willard
have organized a big society in England
and propose to duplicate it here, the
purpose of which is the popularizing of
bicycle riding among women. The real
object of these two eminent reformers,
however, is to bring about dress reform
among women, through the medium of
sport. Every former effort to get women
to wear boomers and breeches in public
has failed, and it has been decided to
devote attention to bicycling solely.
Houses in charge of matrons have been es-
tablished at various points of Great Britain,
and the women supply the bicycles, which
thew sell on installment plan. Tours have
been laid out so that women accompanied
by men can go from one bicycling station
TO another, aud everything is done for the
convenience of the riders. The only con-
dition is that they shall wear breeches or
boomers, and English women have accept
ed this condition with great alacrlty. Lady
Henry declares that the movement is the
entering wedge of real dress reform.

A Black Eye for Oleomargarine.
Gen. GrOut Explains the Provisions of
His Bill, and the Reasons for Intro
duCing IL.

His Bill. and the Reasons for Intro
ducing IL.
Washington correspondence of the Philadel-
phia Ledger.
One of the measures which will come up
at the next session of Congress is the oleo-
margarine bill, prepared by Congressman
Grout of Vermont. 1t has been favorably
reported by the House committee on agri-
culture. Congressman Grout, speaking of
the measure of which he is the author
says:
1.-The object of this bill is not in any
way to supersede the present law, as some
think, but to supplement it by giving eff
feet to the laws concerning oleo in the sew
eral states into which it may be taken for
sale. In other words, to exempt it from
the operation of the original package de-
cision, in which it was held by the supreme
court that an article of merchandise in the
original package when shipped from one
state into another is not subject to the
laws of that state into which it is ship
ped"
This decision continued Mr.. Grout,
"reated to intoxicating liquors, but applies
to every kind of merchandise, and it has
been especially helpful to the oleomargar-
inc trade, as will appear from the follow
ing statistics:
1.-The oleomargarine law was passed in
| 1856 and the first full year after it took eff
| feet the total tax collected on account of
| it was 1854, 1870. Under its operation the
/ tax fell to S7S6, POI in 1890, and the num-
| Der of wholesale dealers from 2SS in 1886
| to 179 in 1890, while the retail dealers fell
off from 6974 to 3529-almost one-half.
"In 1890 came the original package de-
cision,' multiplying state laws regulating its
sale, and instantly there was great change.
| The business at once revived. The very
first year after that decision the tax on
oleomargarine jumped from S7S6, POI
to 81, OF, 934, and there is now a larger
number of wholesale dealers than in 1886
even, viz, 293 The number of retail
dealers has almost doubled, going from
$3.50 in 1890 to 7443 in 1894, while the
amount of tax has doubled about two and
one-half times, amounting in 1894 to 81,
| 723, 497, which indicated total product OF
about 10000 tons.
"This immense increase in the output o
bogus butter is the direct result of setting
aside state laws which, in great measure
prevented the counterfeit article from be
ing sold as butter and all the bill propose:
is to let the laws of each state have con-
troll over the sale of all imitation dair!
products brought within it, the same as
before the original package decision,
Congress promptly follow ed that decision
with law giving the state into which in
toxicating liquor was shipped control owe
it. The pending bill is substantially il
the language of that law, and gives owe
in the same way the false butter bushes
to the police power of the states.
"Not only dairymen, but butter dealer
and all butter eaters must be interested il
the passage of this bill"
