RELIGIOUS MANlAS IN AMERICA.
Our Short History IL Full of Examples
Of Mental Epidemics.

Of Mental Epidemics.
Turning now to the American, who
somewhat resembles the Hebrew, both
in business ability and righteousness, we
find social suggestion working in him
on a larger and grander scale. The
American is highly suggestible, and the
short history of his national existence is
full of nstluctive cases of mental ep!
denies. A few instances will, perhaps,
suffice for our purpose.
At the beginning of the present GEN.
tury mania of religious revival swept
over the continent of northern America,
and reached it's acme in the camp meet
ings of the Kentucky revivals." The
first camp meeting in Kentucky was
held at Cabin Creek, and continued four
days and three nights. The scene was
awful beyond description. The preach.
ing, the praying, the singing, the shout
ing, the sobbing, the fits of convulsions
made of the camp a pandemonium.
Religious suggestion soon affected
the idle crowd of spectators, and
acted with such virulence that those
who tried to escape were either struck
by commissions on the way, or impelled
to return by some unknown, irresistible
power. The contagion spread with
great rapidity and spared neither age
nor sex.
The camp meeting of Indian Creek,
Harrison county, is especially interest
ing and instructive for it's bringing
clearly to light the terrible power of
suggestion. The meeting was at first
quiet and orderly. There was, of course,
good deal of praying, singing and
shouting, but still nothing extraordi-
nary occurred. The suggestion, how
ever, did not fail TO come, and this time
it was given by child. A boy of IL
mounted log, and raising his voice, be-
gan to preach. In few moments he
became the center of the religious mob.
THUS o sinners" he shouted, ''shall you
drop into hell, unless you forsake your
sins and turn to the Lord!" At that
moment some one fell to the ground in
convulsions, and soon the whole mob
was struggling, wriggling, writhing
and Jerking" In some camp meet
ings the religious mob took to dancing,
and at last to barking like dogs. Men,
women and children assumed the post

TEA, COFFEE AND SUGAR.

Differences In tho Averages Of Consump-
tion In Various Countries.
Twenty ounces year for each in
habitant has been the unvarying aver
are of tea consumptiom in the United
States for Is years. England's average
for the same period has been 80 ounces
for each inlnbitant, or four times
greater. Tea drinkers, as a rule. use
more sugar than coffee drinkers do.
Tea drinking countries are the greater
consumers of sugar. In Spain, where
chocolate is more popular as a drink
than tea, and in France, where coffee
is proverbially popular, and suPpo ed
~ best made, sugar is, relatively, less
used.
The annual consumption of sugar in
the United States is now 100000 tons,
which is about IS pounds a person. "
the total the United States produce
35U, 900 tons, 100000 being imported.
The United States pay annually over
$1Os, ,0O0, 900 for foreign sugar and $780,
OOO, 900 for the domestic article. The
American product of sugar has in
creased so per cent. in IL years. The
English consumption of sugar is at
the rate of 70 pounds per capita, the
average OF Holland and Denmark beng
30 pounds, and of France and Switzer-
land % pounds.
The expression enormous" often er-
roneously used by statisticians intent
upon establishing a proposition or de-
stroving an adverse contention, is cor
rect in the case Of Holland as coffee
consuming country, for the total con-
sumption Of coffee in . year mounts to
10000 tons, and the total area Of Hol-
land is $4,000 square miles-less than
half the size of West Virginia. On the
basis of the population the coffee con-
sumption of Holland is 325 ounces year
ly for each inhabitnnt, and the o:ler
countries with which g. comparison is
made have the averages following:
United States, $50; Germany, 80;
France, 70: Austro-H Hungary, IS; Itcly,
II; Great Britain and Ireland, Is; Spain,
land Russia, 3.
The English taste for tea has never
extended to the United States, but, odd
" enough, in those portions Of Canada
in which the inha bitants are at English
descent the consumption Of tea is just
az large as in either England Or ireland.
In tea and coffee drinking the United
States follow rather France and Ger
many than England, though the reason
for this preference b not sltogefher
clear.-N. Y. Sun.

THE BRITISH POST OFFICE.


Most Prosperous Year in the History ef
tho Omee-The Report.
Some interesting figures about the
British post Office are given by the
duke of Norfolk in his first report as
postmaster-general, the statistics COW
ering the year ending on March 81,
1896. The total number of postal pack
ages of all kinds carried was 5000, ,527,-
600, am average Of n to each person
in the United Kingdom. The items are:
Letters, 1884 4,200,O 600; post cards, sl4,-
100000; book packets, circulars and
samples, 72,300,0O0; newspapers, 149,-
100000; parcels, 60,527,000. In 1889,
the first year after the introduction Of
penny postage, the number OF letters
was 100000 as compared with 1,s34,-
100000 Last year, bringing in revenue
of e2, ABS 5,O4O, and entsailing an expendi-
ture Of e 756,99O. The revenhe of the
post office for 1895-96 was e G14,639,7 ,739,
of which s11,75o,945 was for postal
matter and e G3,632,1 for telegraus.
while the expenses were 6 E11,O07,617,
leaving net profit of e 1852, l22. For
five years the telegraph department
has been carried on at a loss, the deficit
in it last year being e 34,787. The num-
ber of newspapers carried through the
mails has fallen, owing probably to the
improved methods Of distribution
adopted by newspaper men.
The quick-delivery systeE', intro
duced in 1891, has increased one-third
during the year, the number of deliv-
cries being 363, ,971, two-t thirds Of which
were in London. The packages not
delivered were 19,so1, 1868, half of them
being books, and 81 ,879 letters, contain
ing property Of the value Of e2,S9O,
were mailed without any address, as
were 6,469 parcels. The number Of
postal orders during the year was Ca
o76,377, transferring e23,s96,:94 and a
few shillings. In 1886 some 6,453,-
600 persons had deposited in the post
office savings banks e97,868,975. or
nearly S50O,O00,0O0.
There was an increase OF 10 per cent.
in The kilograms, the number sent be-
ing 7S,s39,6 500; of these nearly 100000
were sent at press rates. The telephone
system has been open to the public
under post office charge since July,
1895, but no figures as to its use are
given. The number of letter boxes in
the United Kingdom is 1882 and OF
post offices, 20, 1898; Of the post Offices
II 900 are money order and savings
bank offices and 1868 telegraph offices,
but telegrams can be sent in addition
from 2,273 offices at railroad stations.
The year has been the most prosperous
in the history of the post ofice.-N. Y.

Bird That shAves Itself.

The lammergeyer, or bearded vulture,
found throughout the whole noun
tain chains of the old world, actually
shaves himself. The expert barber
who has for his customer the Fifth
avenue millionaires could not ply the
keen-edged razor to the stubby beard
Of his particular patron more deftly
than the monarch of the mountain top
prunes his own bristly beard. The head
of similar bristles begins at the eye
and from the sides of the under mandi-
BILE proceeds . row Of black bristles.
From this peculiar projection OF feath-
ers the birds derives its name. A layer
TO similar bristles begins at the eye
and covers the nostrils, forming heecy
mustache. With his strong and sharp
claws, which act as the razor, he begins
to trim his ibrous whiskers with great
care and dexterity. He does this with
great regularity and soon the downy
beard and mustache give way to . full
growth OF bristly feathers.-N. 4.

CATCHING A DEER.

Catching q Wild deer by the tail IN

way of getting venison, but it is good
way for a conscientious man while
shooting deer is prohibited by law.
The process of grabbing deer by the
tail is full of difficulty, but it is not
to be compared, in that respect, with
hanging on after getting a grab on the
tail. The deer is wary. The deer is
fleet and itxs tail is short, but in spite of

the authorities. AS he was wading up
the creek with pair of old shoes pro-
tecting his feet from the rocky bottom
he espied fawn at q lick. While he
was looking at the little spotted beauty
it lay down beside log, and the hunt

He knew that if he could get hold of
one or both of the fawn's hind legs he
would succeed.
Luckily tie COWS Of the farm np-
peared at that same moment on the
way to the creek for drink, and the
fawn, evidently a frequenter of the pas
ture, seemed to be unconcerned after a
quick glance at the cows. Seizing the
opport unity, the hunter, while the
COWS were coming and cracking
branches and sticks, stole up to the
log. A moment later the fawn passed
directly in front of him, and the hunt
er made q quick thrust of his arms to
catch the deer by the hind legs. He
partly succeeded, but in the struggle
that followed, with the staring cows
and yearlings as spectators, the deli
cate limbs OF the fawn began to slip
out of the wise of the human hands and
somehow or other in desperation the
man grabbed the fawn's tail.
The little animal began to run, and
the hunter, who is a very strong man,
held desperately to the tail. Down an
old logging road they went little
way. and then the fawn turned in. It
could not run very fast with a man at
