Our Nations Wealth In Gold Dollars

Our Nations Wealth In Gold Dollars.
The wealthiest nation of the world is
the United States. The census Of 1890
shows the true valuation, or fair selling
price, of the real and personal property
Of the country to be S65, 037 ,O91 1877.
It is an increase of over 40 per cent on
the valuation Of the previous decade
and is about six times the value Of the
money OF the entire world. The mind
cannot grasp the meaning # such fig
ures without graphic lin ration. This
aluoa-. L; gold dollar would load 1884,
$40 carts, each carrying a ton. If 2, 900
gold dollars were piled one on the other,
they would form a stack three feet high.
Make similar piles close together till a
wall Of gold one mile long and worth
$3.50, 40o, 900 is formed. Increase this
wall to 28A miles and the amount
would represent our national wealth.
Placed side by side the coins would
form a carpet Of gold covering five
square miles. - William George Jordan
in Ladies' Home Journal.

some Of the Advantage Tho Are Pos
sessed by the Ambidextrous.
Ambidextrous men and women, or
those who can use either right or left
hand with equal facility. are not near
~ so frequently met with as might at
first be supposed-in fact, they are quite
rare. This double faculty is, however,
much more frequently met with among
butchers and sailors than in any other
walks Of life. Left handed butchers are
numerous, as a walk through any Of
our large market houses will quickly
demonstrate, but it is a very interest
ing study to watch one Of them who
will cut, chop, saw and handle his
meat without once changing it from
one side to the other on the block or
changing his own position.
In view Of the many advantages de.
rived from the ability to use both hands
equally well many people have often
expressed surprise at the action Of edu-
cational authorities in insisting ON the
use of only the right hand instead Of
trying to develop an equal skill in the
other. They all stick to the right hand
ed idea, however, and an old resident
of Frankfort, noted for his ambidex-
trousness, is still mourning the loss of
a prize at school through the use of his
left hand in writing, although he was
equally skillful as a penraan with his
right.
The benefits derived from the use of
both hands were excellently illustrated
in the experience of two carpenters who
lived in frankfort some years ago.
Their names We're Cross and Walton,
and the former was right handed, the
latter left handed. AS one was also
very tall and the other very short, they
made a curious couple, bat they always
worked together laying floors and put
ting up %joiners' work in buildings.
They could take jobs of this charac.
ter cheaper than any other, because
they could work from either end toward
each other so handily. Cross would
square a floor board at one end and
Walton would "scribe' and cut it off
to fit at the other end and then nail
down, working together from opposite
ends.
Left handed machinists are always
at a disadvantage, as machinery is in
variably adapted to people who work
right handed, but the ambidextrous
man or woman is always at home in
whatever work is undertaken. -Phila.

A Bride.

Richard Davey, in his book, 1.-THE
Sultan and His Subjects" thus de-
scribes the appearance of a Turkish
bride:
1.-The Bride, whom we will call Gull
Hanum, or the Lady Rose, is dressed
in the most elaborate Partisan bridal
costume. with an immense long train,
a wreath of orange flowers at her head
and a pink veil reaching to the ground.
She sits like a statue on a sort of throne,
placed at the farther end of the apart
ment, beneath q canopy composed Of
garlanhs of artificial roses. All the
ladies Of her family and acquaintance
are present, some few of the elder in
the beautiful oriental costumes Of a BY
gone time, the rest in badly chosen Eu-
ropean evening dresses and blazing with
all the jewelry they can load upon their
persons"

APPLE SEEDS,

Beside the hearth one winter night
Made rosy by the great logs light,
That, flaming up the chimney dark,
Hit every Granny. every nook.
Upon the rug a little maid
Sat curled in pose demure and stoid,
In pensive mood. with dreamy eyes,
She sits, while up the chimney flies
A thought with every fiery spark,
GGnting end flashing through the dark.
Till with q sigh profound and deep
She moves as one moves in her sleep.
A rosy apple in her hand
A weight Of thought seems to demand.
She taps it with a finger light,
Then carefully she takes a bite,
Another bite, now one, nowt two.
The core Is thus exposed to view.
Another sigh! What can it be,
My little maid. that aileth thee2
All! VIVA, is thisf Some incarnation,
Nuttered with such reiterationi
Hark. As each seed her bright eyes see,
These are the words hat come to me:
"One ! love, two I love,
Three l love, l say!
Four l love with all my heart.
Five cast away"
Here a tear rolls brightly dowl.
What the secret she has won?
Who car sayf But just behind
Sounds q voice SO soft and kind:
Look again! Thou must indeed
Find for me another seed!"
Roster her bright cheeks grow
In the ~drelght's rudy glow.
Sure enough, a culprit seed
Finds she in the core indeed.
"From thy lips I fain would hear
What the sixth one means, my dear"
six he loves" she murmured low.
And the frelight's Pickering glow
Two happy faces now disclose,
With cheeks a-glowing like the rose.
But here We'll let the curtain fall,
For the end IS hest ~ ill.

Ditch Prepared.

The water ditch at Bunkerville
was completed on the 10Th. inst.
ALI able bodied men of the town
were working on it from the time OF
the heavy storm of rain and hail re-
ported two weeks ogo. Most of the
gardens were saved and the people
were very thankful for it.
The re-opening of the ditch was
celebrated with grand ball. The
work was an extensive one as the
ditch is some five miles in length
and required to be provided with
sand gates every quarter of mile
in order that the ever moving quick
sands of the river may be released
from the ditch and not to clog it up.
