In the city during this hot weather cannot he
sufficiently grateful for the relief they expe-
Renee. through the introduction of the cable
and tho trolley. from the pollution of the at
mosphero which was formerly caused by the
maintenance of thousands of horses used In
the operation of the street surface railroads.
The number OF horses maintained for the pur-
pose by the Third Avenue Company was about
LOO. by the Fourth Avenue 1900. by the Sec
ond Avenue 1000, and by the Broadway lines
1000. These $500 animals were stabbed In
the heart Of the inhabited portion Of the city.
and their stables and their droppings on the
street tracks gave out the most offensive odors.
nothing OF which Is now perceivable. In the
borough Of Brooklyn. too. over $500 horses
have in like manner been eliminated. with a
corresponding gain to the comfort and health
OF citizens. With the extensions of the trolley
systems now projected the improvement will
be carried still further. but as far as it has gone
1t has been OF immense benefit.

1897 Year Book.

The year book of the department of
agriculture for 1897 has just been com
pleted and issued. The value Of this
publication can hardly be measured.
Those who carefully and thoughtfuily
read the articles discussing topics in
which they have personal interest, be-
cause engaged in the activities treated
of. or because making scientific invcs-
LEGATIONS along these lines, even such
individuals. can hardly over-estlmate
the value of this work. 1t is instruc-
tive alike to the scientist and the plain
every day farmer.
The second part under the general
title Work of the Department for the
Farmer contains many valuable pa
pers prepared under the direction of
the chiefs of the various divisions and
bureaus showing the nature of their
work
In the third part are eighteen mis-
cellaneous papers on a variety of sub
jects treated in a manner to be sug
gestive. helpful and stimulating To TIL"
farmer. The following are few of
the topics discussed with the writer's
of the papers: Popular Education for
the Farmer in the United States" by
\. c. True; Every Farm an Expert
ment Station" by Erwin f. ElWell;
The Fruit Industry ana Substitution
of Domestic for Foreign Grown
Fruits" by William A. Taylor. The
remainder of the articles treated are
of equally vital interest to the farmer
The edition Of the year book is $780,
900 copies. 100000 of which are by law
reserved for the exclusive use of sena-
tors representatives and delegates IN
Congress. and 50. 600 are allotted TO the
department of agriculture. This al
lotment is consumed IN the distribu-
ton Ia crop correspondents and others
cooperating with the department or
rendering it some service. Very few
copies. therefore, are available for
miscellaneous distribution. and appu-
cants generally will be obliged to ap-
ply to senators or representatives in

NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Aug. 2.-The tendency of the
speculation in railroad stocks to separate
itself from that in the industrial special-
ties became more marked. today. than
yesterday. The Industrials have not vet
fallen to minor place in the speculation
as they are likely to do at time when n
widespread general demand springs up
for standard railroad securities. but there
were evidences of IA elimination of the
speculative movements in some of them
today, and the realizing was covered bv
manipulation in others for an advance.
BY far the most significant movement
In the market was the enlarged demand
for railroad stocks. This was most con-
spicuous in the Changers, but the Pacific
railroads also shared In the movement
and there was distinctly broadening
tendency all through the list, various in
ert stocks making large advances to the
higher level as established in the last few
days.
The bond market was active. today in
middle and lower grade issues. which
quite generally advanced. Total sales.

Augusta in the Next LEGISLATURE.

The Republicans of Augusta acted
the part of wisdom, last evening, in
selecting Hon. Geo. F.. Macomber and
Hon. J. II. Manley as candidates for
representatives to the Legislature from
this city. The party and the city are
to be congratulated upon the action of
the caucus. The choice of these two
gentlemen, who will be elected in Sep
TENDER with almost as much unanim-
ity as they were nominated last eve
ming, means that the influence of Au-
gusta will he great and good at the
Capitol, next winter
Both Mr.. Manley and Mr. Macomber
are in the front rank of the solid bust
ness men of our city identified with
its leading interests, and always active
to promote its welfare. Both have had
legislative experience, and. in the flu
ture as in the past. they will faithfully
serve their constituents and reflect
credit upon the party which has hon
ored them.

Gently had an operation performed on
an ankle which she fractured about a
year and a half ago and which has

hard substance under the skin and
near the surface that was thought to

cident occurred, more than Il year ago.
It was working out and had caused

Nostalgia.

With the exception of those fortunate
-or acknowledgement who are ut
terly without susceptibility to emotion
no one will doubt the story that SOL
der in Massachusetts regiment died
the other day from pure inconsistencies
nostalgia the doctors call it. 1t does
not need the dictum of the medical
books to prove that homesickness is Il
disease-at least in the sense that it
causes acute discomfort, both mental
and physical, and sometimes ter
inmates in death itself, as we have seen
in the case of the Massachusetts vol
unteer and as was often the case in the
Civil War
No man, though he has reached
three score and ten, is likely to forget
the homesick anguish of his first eX-
perience at boarding school. The
feeling of vague discomfort, followed
by sense of separation and succeeded
in turn by a frantic yearnlng to get
back home some way or any way
these have caused many small boy
to dare all manner of periis and priva-
tons and to turn up hungry and foot
sore at the parental roof tree after
wanderinGs as eventful as those Of
Ulysses.
Few mon escape the affection, though
women, singular to say, appear to be
less subject to it. And it is real
physical disorder just as acute and
well-defined as smallpox But like
smallpox, fortunately. inconsistencies
rarely attacks the same person twice.
There are, of course. exceptions to the
rule. Some persons are affected by it
every time they leave home. Some
Municipalities are peculiarly susceptible
to it. The story of the Swiss exile is
familiar to everyone. But in most
cases there is single period of utter
mental and physical COLLAPSED day or
perhaps two or three days of abject
misery-and then the tense heart
strings relax. reason returns and the
patient is thenceforward immune"
No doubt this is the experience of
many hundreds in the dreary army
camps where life is so monotonous
1t is said that in the camp hospitals
many deaths are due to Inconsistencies
The Illness is generally called by some
other name but the doctors do not al
ways know. Many so-called hope
less case in the hospital has been saved
by the arrival of someone from home
or even by a home letter.
The poor soldier lad from Massa-
chusetts had probably never under
gone such torture before Perhaps his en-
listment marked his first absence from
home. Hence when the malady at
tackled him in the iunges of Cuba it
came with tenfold force and he sue
combed with corresponding rapidity
And he died hero just as certainly as
if he had fallen in charging a battery.
as everyone who has been "homesick"
will testify.

1t will very likely occasion surprise
to many to find that the island of Porto
Rico is much more dcnsely populated
than are the most thickly settled por-
lions of the United States. Rhode
Island has more inhabitants to the
square mile than any state of the
Union, and Massachusetts comes next
but Porto Rico beats them. Porto Rico
has $500 square miles of area, while
Connecticut, which is nearer her size
in point of territory than any state Of
the Union, has 1925 square miles. The
population of Porto Rico is pa persons
to the square mile, while that of Con
necticut is but 154. SO there is not
much room to emigrate to Porto Rico
and grow up with the country.
