A MILLION MILLION.
Adam Could Not Have Counted It by Working Steadily Up to the
 Present Hour.

Prof. Wagstaff, whose very name rug gests a pleasing first cousinship to Shakespeare, has lately been amusing himself and his audience at Gresham college by speculations as to what might have happened if the father of our human race had given up delving and taken to figures. Let us suppose that Adam had set himself to count a million million; or, in figures, 1000 000.- GOO, ,0OO. We will imagine that he could count three in a second, which, though not exactly rapid ciphering, will be found ample, if taken continuously. Now, if 5000 years have elapsed since the gracious amenities of Eden formed the cradle of humanity, Adam would have been working for 1s9 9.216,0oo 900 seconds and have reached a total of 567. 7.64S, 100000 figures. In other words, Lis task of counting a million millions would still have been unaccomplished by over four hundred thousand million digits. All of which goes to prove what !? There are many possible conclusions. The first is, of course. that Prof. Wag- staff is very ingenious and by no means melancholy mathematician; but that has not needed proof. A second deduction, which we advance with all humility, Is that If Adam had only had Eabitual recourse to harmless dissipa- tion of this architectural kind instead of betraying marital weakness and a fondness for fruit his descendants would have been very much better off morally and spiritually, though not perhaps in material comforts. And a third conclusion. eminently gratifying to those who refuse to believe that there is any serious discord between re- ligion and science, is that Prof. Wag- staff, no doubt a man of distinction in scientific attachments, accepts without any demur Bishop Ussher's chronology.
 According to the divine the world was created in 4oo4 B. C., and that, added to the 1898 years which have elapsed since the Christian era, makes in round numbers the 6,0uc years on which the whole calculation depends. Some wayward scientists" have dog. matically affirmed that the world has been wagging along a good many more centuries than Ussher supposed, al. though there is Q serious difference. if is true, in this matter between the as. tronomers and the geologists. So, after all, perhaps. if Adam had been reason. nbly industrious he would have had time to accomplish his task, unless his brain had given way under the strain, Most of us have such vague ideas as to the meaning of large figures that it Is as we'll to be reminded by so happy an illustration how many units go to the making of million. The only other conceivable fashion in which such in- struction could be acquired is to be. come South African "boss" of mines and diamonds. and that process, much as we may desire it, is, fortunately or unfortunately, not open to the majority of us.-London Telegraph.

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You May Apply Your Boot
 with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the crowded street, feeling very kindly toward themselves and the rest of humanity. Just as they reached the middle of . crossing one. of those aggravating individuals who walk one way and look another stepped di. rectly in front of cable car which was rounding the corner. Of course the car had no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil- dered man looked in the wrong direction. Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to the side of the track and grabbed the man by the collar and yanked him clear of the tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then he gave him another ferocious jerk to get him out of the way of an express wagon, and, getting him at proper range at the same time, he gave the poor man kick that must have driven his spine up into his hat. And with the kick Quirk roared:
 "Confound, you, keep your eyes open when you are on the street!'
 Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed until the tears came. Then he said:
 "You are the only big enough idiot on earth to save a mans life and then kick him for t."-Chicago Times Herald.

PRODUCTION OF WHEAT.
In Silver Using Countries the Cost Is Remaining More Sta-
 tfOnary.

A few months ago wheat could be produced in the United States, shipped to England, and sold at Il cents per bushel cheaper than like quantity could be raised and shipped to the same markets from Russia, India or Ar genuine Republic-the great wheat-pro- ducing countries of the world. I'm proved machinery in those countries has probably cheapened it's produc- ton to some degree, and for the sake of argument, will admit that it can be laid down either in London or Liv- erpool at the same price per bushel. If this be true, then the wheat from all over the world would come into com petition with ours in foreign markets, and if the quality were the same, it would appear to the casual observer that the wheat produced in the United States would sell on equal terms with that from other countries. But such is not the fact. Why? For this reason: Because we are a gold standard ma ton, and it is easier to effect exchanges among those having a common me- dium of exchange. In this country there is no difference between the value of gold and silver money-it is all re- deemable in gold-while in the silver using countries gold is at premium of about 100 per cent. In the past 20 years. in silver-using countries. there has been no material change either in prices or in wages when computed in silver. The link that held the two met als together from time immemorial to 1873 was free coinage of both. When free coinage was denied silver, that metal began to depreciate in value and prices in silver are no longer prices in gold. Hence the difference in prices between a gold-using and silver-using nation. But how does this affect the American farmer? In this way: The same quantity of silver in silver-using countries will buy as much material or labor as ever, while it takes one-half as much gold to buy the silver as it did in 1873. This gives England an oppor- tunity to buy up the silver product, coin it into rupees, and buy the wheat of India to come into competition with the American wheat in the markets of the world. This, and similar instances. have cheapened the price of our prod uct because it is equal to bounty on exports to the difference between the price of gold and silver. This is an un- just discrimination against the farm CTS of this country. It has materially cheapened the price of wheat, and as its price has gone down until the cost of production leaves no margin to the produced, he cannot afford to employ labor.

 Antiseptic gloves are the latest fad of class which an exchange describes as 'microbe maniacs." The glove is worn to keep the hand from contact with door knobs, bell pulls. germ-in. fected money. etc.
 The diminution of cost of produc tion effected in modern times by the i'm provements in processes of manufac- ture is wonderful. Thus, a gross ot steel pens which are sold to-day for SC cents formerly cost s35 to produce.
 In Birmingham 37,O0o,Oo0 pins are produced daily, while the other manu- featuring places of England are respon- sible for about 19,0O0,o00 day France furnishes the market with 20,0Oc 900 each day, and Germany and other coun- tries yield 10,000,00o.
 The sulphur of Japan is nearly all obtained from surface volcanic depos- its. The output is gradually decreas- ing. In 1897 the exports were 6,723 tons, of which 4,523 tons went to the United States. The consumption in Japan, chiefly in making sulphurio acid, is estimated at 2,500 tons.
 Wire fences, which the American army utilized for telephone lines in Cuba, are now serving the same pur. pose in Australia, thus enabling farm CTS to communicate with each other over distances extending to 13 miles. The system relieves the monotony and Isolation of life in the back country.

COOKING GOOSE.
A Young Fowl When Properly Pre-. pared Is Not to Be
 Despised.

The advice of well-known auth ority cn cooking when considering the sub ject of cooking goose is: Have some thing else.' It certainly hardly pays to prepare an old goose for the table When poultry is to be selected in mar ket such a bird is not worth buying at any price. The flesh is strong and it requires parboiling before it is roasted to take out the strong flavor.
 Geese, however, are often raised on the farm because they are easily taken care of or for other reasons, and the farmers wife must use that which she has. A goose under year old is very different bird from the old goose. Such d bird makes a rich roast. It needs no rarboiling. Clean it very carefully. Lift up the skin of the breast and that ever the crop and take out all the fat that can be reached. The fat has no culinary value, but is valuable when tried out into goose grease for yarlous medicinal purposes. Dredge the goose inside and outside with salt and pep per. Prepare the stuffing as follows:
 
 them one tablespoonful of salt, one tea spoonful of pepper, one tablespoonful of powdered sage two of onion minced as fine as possible and two of butter. Fill the goose with the stuffing. Dredge it we'll with flour after stuffing it and trussing it into shape, so tha; the stuf- fing cannot come out. This is better than sewing it up. A medium-sized young goose will cook in an hour and half with brisk fire. Baste the bird with the drippings in the pan and dredge it with flour every 15 minutes. Turn it often, so that it will be evenly Drowned. Do not use any butter or fat of any kind in cooking goose. There will be fat enough tried out of the bird to cook it.
 A goose that weighs four pounds is large enough for roasting. It is hardly safe to buy larger bird, as it will be tough. When the bird is done prepare the gravy. Pour about cupful of boil ing water into the drippings in the psn. There should be about a cupful of liquid dripping, making pint when the cupful of water is added. Stir we'll, and if the gravy is not thick enough add little flour stirred to paste with cold water. Season the gravy we'll with salt and pepper. After it boils up stir 1t well. Serve it in a boat with the goose. Serve apple sauce with it.-N. Y. Tribune.
