Weighs rs Pounds.
From New York Recorder.

1.-The latest man in America is the
way in which Leo Whitton announces him
self Up to year ago Leo had been
growing broader, rounder and more uncom-
Portable for the past thirty-seven years.
He weighs 715 pounds. Daniel Lambert,
the Norfolk giant, tipped the beam at 729
pounds, scoring the world S record.
Whitton's tremendous girth is not 50
apparent when he stands, but when he sits
he is starting. His measurements are :
Height, 5 feet 10 inches; neck, 26 inches;
bicyse % inches; chest, 6 feet; waist, :
feet; thigh, 40 inches; calf, &c inches. He
comes of stock noted for freshness. He
was born in Northumberland co., Ontario,
Canada, of English parents. Up till the
age of twenty-one years he worked on the
farm at home. Then he went into the
butcher business at Brighton, Ont, which
he attended to up to three years ago, when
his extraordinary girth rendered it impos-
sible for him to handle the chopper.
When asked if he had endeavored to
avoid growing so fat Mr.. Whitton replied
that he had tried all remedies. He has
never tasted alcohslic drinks in his life.
He loses from ten to fifteen pounds during
the summer, but does not feel much relief
from the loss. In winter he regains the
amount that was missing. He is married
to an average sized woman, and has FIVE
children. the eldest of whom is seventeen
years old. None of them show any signs
of abnormal stoutness.

A Cruel Practice.

No more cruel thing is thoughtlessly
done, day after day, winter after winter,
than the putting of frosty bit into a
horses mouth. At least l try to think
that only the thoughtless could be guilty
of such an inhuman practice Yet what
child does not learn at an early age the
penalty of contact between tender flesh
and cold iron on biting winters day :?
Is it possible that any man whose baby
fingers have chung to frozen iron until per-
haps the skin was torn from them, can SO
far forget the sting as to force the same
biting iron into the moist, tender mouth
of IA brute. as sensitive to suffering as he
himself? Cant take time to warm
bits" ''only hurts minute they don t
mind it, ''do hold them against the
horse body sometimes, are some of the
excuses and makeshifts we hear, but they
are poor ones at the best. Whatever is
worth doing is worth doing we'll and it
really takes no extra time to thoroughly
warm the horses bits
If the team is to be harnessed early in
the morning, it must be fed before break
fast. and the brides can be brought to the
kitchen fire to grow warm and comfortable
for the horses while the master is minister
ing to his own comfort
Thoughtlessness causes the same suffer
ing as heartless cruelty.

Many Counties, Few People.
From the New York Sun.

From the New YORK sun
In many Western and Southwestern
States the number of counties into which
the Commonwealth is divided seems to be
taken as the surest possible test of Its I'M
portanee, and State containing but few
counties as many as necessary or deslr-
able). is looked upon somehow as of in
ferior merit. The State of Nebraska had
bv the last Federal census about the same
population as the city Of Philadelphia,
loo. 600. The population of Pennsyl-
yania. was FIVE times greater than that OF
Nebraska. and yet, though 81 coun-
ties have for many years been found SUI
ficent for the requirements OF Pennsylvania,
Nebraska now has ninety and some Of
them are so small in area and population as
to be of very little account. \ sample
Nebraska county is Thomas, in the west
ern part Of the State, diagonally northwest
Of Broken Bow, through which the Dis
NAL river runs. 1t has an area Of 12o
square miles and "A population at the last
census of 517 inhabitants.
Kansas exceeds Nebraska i'll population
by about one-third and in area by about
one-tenth; but. though the total population
of Kansas is about 500. 900 less than the
population of New York city, and though
New York State, with 5000, 900 inhabi-
tants, has sixty counties, Kansas has, II,
and very few of them have population as
large as the average New York ward.
Morton county, in the extreme southwest
of Kansas. is Il fair sample of some OF
them BY the census Of 1890 it had IA
population Of 724 and extended over an
area of 729 square miles. Though the
population of Kansas is not ON the increase
and in some parts of the State is falling
off, it seems never to occur to any OF the
Legislatures at Topeka that the consollda-
ton of counties might be u desirable thing
These two States are not exceptional IN
respect to having so large number OF
counties for what is a very small population
compared with the figures in the Eastern
States. New Jersey, with population
larger than Kansas, has only q counties.
Massachusetts has A. Maryland has %.
Maine has ! 6. and Wisconsin, with popu
iation of 1000, 600, 6S. But Missouri
has ll5 counties. Iowa 90 and Colorado
80. When it comes TO pre-eminence IN
the county line the Lone Star State OF
Texas easily exceeds all others, Texas
has 246 counties, and the census returns
from some of them seem certainly grotesque
Andrews county, for instance, covering
1900 square tmiles, had in 1890 twenty
four inhabitants, Castro county, covering
$40 square miles, had 9 inhabitants; Crane
county had Is. Dawson county had 30.
Foley county, covering POO square miles,
had lG inhabitants; Gaines county, cover
ing 1900 square miles had 6S. There
were Il persons in GAIA, and Lamb coun-
", with an area of 1910 square miles had
4 residents. There were 3 persons, two
white men and an Indian. in Loving coun-
ty, I persons in Palmer county, and 4
persons in Woakum county. The total
number of inhabitants in Lynn county was
"a, and in Moore county 10.

A Storm.
From the New York Recorder.

saw, heard and was in a storm of rain
and sleet in Row Creek Reservation,
South Dakota, very recently. | don t
care for any more of it, but the sight was
worth thousand dollars. The noise and
then the sensation were beyond financial
computation. Mark Russell would have
found in it an inspiration for his incom-
parable descriptive power. The elements
owned the hour above and below The
potentiality of the Infinite seemed dis
closed The water fell in torrents, the
wind roared like a tornado of thunders
The impotence of man was clear and his
limit of endurance quickly reached. Min
iature lakes spread over the plains, pretty
streams became rushing tides. The end
and the rain came none to soon, when
from the fast-fading sky darted balls and
streams of electric fire, marvellous in
brightness and forcefully suggestive In
an hours time the face of nature was
changed, vegetation felt needed impulse,
dead air became a vitalized inspiration,
and, as the stars came out, riyaling the
full moons beauty, the very heavens de-
clared not only the glory but the power

How He Learned the News.
From the Detroit Free Press.

Senator Stephen B. Elkius, Of West
Virginia. tells an interesting story of his
election to his present seat. II was
sitting in my study at my country home,
said he, awaiting the returns that should
tell me whether or not | had been chosen
to take the place of Senator Camden.
The operator at the telegraph station had
orders to open all kilograms addressed to
me, and to telephone their contents to me
Immediately. Suddenly the telephone
bell rang, and the children's governess,
who answered the phone, came to me and
told me that the person at the other end
of the wire was saying something about
shoes, she couldn't quite make it out.
OH said |, its my wife shoemaker,
probably. Tell him to let the matter rest
until tomorrow She delivered the mes
sage, but returned shortly to say that the
man insisted on talking to me- went to
the telephone. 1t was the telegraph OPP
orator, and the message he was trying to
transmit to me was: When shall | send
you my shoes? johnson R. Camden.
Then knew that had been chosen to gil
the shoes Of that worthy gentleman.
