Cruelty In n Kid Gloxs.

1t has been estimated that out of
the 65, 900, 900 people in the United
States at least Is, 600, 900 are grown
women OF an age to wear kid gloves
and yet, according to the Dry Goods
Economist the import is about l0,-
900, 900 pair from France, which Is
said to make "a, 900, 900 pair. When
we realize that one woman Of fashion
can easily wear Il hundred pair during
the year it would seem that many of
our women are still to DO converted
to the wearing of that dainty neces-
sity, kid glove Our large cities are
selling larger number of kid gloves
to the average woman inhabitant
than any other city, except Paris,
which of course does a large trade
With its floating populace.
The center of the glove trade has
always been at Grenoble, a mountain
city of IS, 900 people in France, where
even the streets and public squares
sing OF gloves, as one Of each is named
after Xavier Jouvin, veteran in the
manufacturing Of k'i clo-eS. The
raw skins manufactured here in q
year are valued at -, 600, 900. When
made into Is, 600, 600 pair of gloves
the value is just doubled, and the
making up of the skins gives employ.
uent to 80, 900 people.
The skins for the so-called '.real"
kid gloves come from France, Italy,
Spain, Mexico and South America,
France ranking first where extreme
care is taken with the kids, even to
sewing the kid in q cover or blanket
to keep the delicate skin in perfect
condition. In the meantime the lit
tic animal grows until the cover in
flicts untold paih, but We never hear
OF ladies forming society to promote
the disuse of kid gloves, as has been
tried with the Audubon society for

be had, while nothing will replace a

How RspidIv We Think.

Helmholtz showed that a vave OF
thought would require about minute
to travel a mile OF nerve, and Hersch
found that touch on the face was
recognized by the brain and responded
to by a manual signal in the seventh
second.
He also found that the speed OF
sense differed for different organs, the
sense Of hearing being responded to
In the sixth Of scconu, while that
Of sight required one-flfth Of a second
to be felt and signallcd. Ir all these
eases the distance traversed was about
the same, so the inference is that
images travel moro slowly than sounds
or touch. 1t still remained, how
ever, to show the portion of this in
terval taken up by the action of the
brain.
Prof. Donders by very delicate ap
)aratus. has demonstrated this to be
about seventy-f1ve thousaDdtha Of a
second. OF tho whole interval forty
thousandths are occupied In the
simple act OF recognition, and thirty
Eve thousandths for tho act Of willing
response.

N. sue Of the Pacific oeeaA. !,

The Pacific Ocean may be reckoned
% include 60, 600, 900 square miles, or
moro than one-third of the total area
Of the earth's surface. It extends
through nearly 1876 degrees Of latitude,
pr three-eights of the worlds circum-
ference-a stretch of 5000 miles from
north to south. From east TO west it
varies from an even greater length to
less than fifty miles. II confined by
the smallest possible length OF boundary
line, it would form o round pond $500
milesin diameter. The deepest sound
Ing made by the Challenger expedition
was in the Pacific, between the Caro-
lines and the Lsdrones, and was 4475
fathoms, or 26, $50 feet q greater depth
than the height Of any mountain in
the world except three. A still deeper
bounding was made from the United
Btates ship Tuscarora. Of 1900 fathoms,
t27, 600,) at the entrance to the Sea of
Okotski; that being probably the
deepest reliable sounding ever made.
The Pacific Ocean has not been ex-
plored nearly 30 thoroughly as the At
lantic, and generalizations from the
comparatively few statistics a1ailable
may be subject to considerable inaccur.
10Y ; but, putting together the recorded
boundings, and taking into account an
estimate of the depth based upon the
swiftness of the tide wave, it seems
probable that the average depth of the
Pacific may safely be put at 5000
fathoms, Us, s,O00,) or nearly 81 miles.
This gives the entire contents of the
Pacific as nearly 232, 100000 cubic
miles. Some conception of one cubic
mile may be got from the statement
that, if we had block Of buildings of
That size, 1t would take an hour to
walk around it Mt a good pace, and a
fairly easy staircase to the top of it
would contain 10000 steps, while
thirteen cathedrals as high as st. Paul's
could be piled up on one another with
out reaching to the top.
The cubic contents expressed in feet
Is thirty-four trillions, (thirty-four
million million million.) This is q
number it is not easy to realize; it is
SO great that if million clocks licked
once a second for q million years their
combined tickings would net amount
10 it. As each cubic foot or water
weighs over sixty-two pounds, the
weight of the Pacific is over 1000 tril-
lion pounds, or $50, 900, 900, O00, 600
300 tons.-Longman's Magazine.

(From the Argus, Alpena, Aich.)
We have long known Mrs. Jas. n. Todd
OF Long Rapids, Alpena Co., Mich. She has
been q sad cripple. Many Of her friends
know the story Of her recovery; for the bene-
at Of those who dc not we publish It to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with ner-
vous prostration, and In . few months with
muscular and innammatory rheumatism- It
affected her heart, then her head. Her feet
became 20 swollen she could wear nothing
on them; her hands were drawn all out OF
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut moro
than half tho time, her knee joints terribly
swollen and for eighteen months she had to
be held up to be dressed. One limb became
entirely helpless, and the skin was 80 dry
and cracked that It would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated by q
score Of physicians, and has also spent much
time at Ann Arbor under best medical advice.
All said her trouble was brought on by hard
work and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which would

not even raise her arms to cover herself at
night. The interesting part Of the story fol-
lows In her own words:
"I was urged to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and at last did so. IN

after usino them six weeks went home and
commenced working. continued taking
the pills, until now begin to forget my

Walking out Of doors without assistance.
"Now, II I can say anything to induce

Pink Pills, shall gladly do so. II other
like sufferers will try Pink Pills according to
directions, they will have reason to thank
God for creating men who are able to con-
quer that terrible disease, rheumatism. ]
have in my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects Of Ia grippe,
and weak women with impure blood, AMI
with good results"
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith IN the
curative powers Of Pink Pills, and says they
have brought a poor. helpless cripple back to
do her own milking, churning, washing. sew
ing, knitting and in fact about all of her

4 HAPPY MAN.

| And OF him we must tell;
His laughter sounds as pleasant
+ As q boarder's dinner bell.
He never says an angry word,
He always wears a smile
And everybody loves him
For the goodness Of his style.
Hes always brave and cheerful
And is never looking blue,
He doesn't growl and grumble
Like some other people do,
He doesn't tryto run the world
Upon a better plan,
he takes things as he finds 'em
{ A. happy person can.
Although he isn't wealthy. Z:
He don't worry for q cent,
In poverty or riches
He Is equally content;
He looks you squarely In the eyes
And firmly Rrasps your hand
And any act OF meanness
He can never understand.
Hes never heard complaining
And is NERVOUS" not at allS'
Hes always glad to see you
And you like to have him CALI
Tho birds are ever singing
In his heart forever Light =,
And peaceful are his slumbers :,
When he lays him down O. night
In business he's successful
For he's always making friendss
Els home 1t Is the sweetest
And its comfort never ends,
His wife can't help but love him
And his Children do the same,
His neighbors all respect him
And are proud to spread his fame.
The reason of his happiness
,ttwhich anyone can share)
We think it right to mention
For the sake of being fairy
This simple man is happier
Than any kings or queens
because he has the courage
To I've within his means.
