The Worlds Papers.

A statistician has learned that the an

the world is calculated to be IL, 600, 600, ,000
copies. To grasp any idea of this magni-
tude we may state that it would cover no
fewer than 10, $50 square miles of surface;
that it is printed on 7Sl, $50 tons of paper,
and, further, that if the number 1000,
000, 900 represented, instead of copies, Sec
onds, it would take over 1888 years for them
to elapse. In lieu of this arrangement VIC
might press and pile them vertically up
ward to gradually reach our highest noun
tains. Topping all these and even the
highest Alps, the pile would reach the
magnificent altitude of 400, or, in round
numbers, 500 miles. Calculating that the
average man spends five minutes reading
his paper in the day (this is very low cs
timate), we find that the people of thi

How to Stiffen Wide Skirts-American Ex-

Although immense quantities of hair
cloth are or have been used for skirts here,
in Paris they are satisfied with stiff fac
ing from o to / . inches In depth. Excellent
qualities of lining are used, but the great
weight and bulk of our American skirts arc
unknown. The fact is that as soon as
Paris has pronounced narrow skirts fash
ionable modistes on this side of the water,
determined to be in the front Of the style,
cut down their model gowns to mere scab-
bards, so straight MS to conflne the wearer
like plaster cast. On the other hand,
now that Paris sets the example of skirts
wide in circumference and necessarily,
therefore, held out by stiffening, in Amer
lea we Immediately line our skirts through
out with the stiffest haircloth we can get,
regardless of its weight and clumsiness.
1t may well be announced that a decrease
of Dimensions and stiffening is shortly to
ensue, for the natural reaction is sure to
set In sooner or later.
The stiff facing should always be cut
just like tho skirt as far as it goes, the
long way of the haircloth corresponding
with the length of the goods, and the nee
