DISTRIBUTION OF CHIEF CITIES

Massachusetts contains more large
cities than any other state in the
union. OF the 159 largest cities this
old state has 20.
Pennsylvania comes a close second
to Massachusetts,, with IS large cities.
New York state is third, with IL.
The little state of New Jersey 10

cities, and Ohio is fifth, having o.
Illinois comes next in line with z.
Iowa has six large cities within its
borders.
Five states each have S of 159 cities
containing a population of $4,000 in
habitants or more. These five states
are Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Con-
necticut and Texas.
The following named states and
territories do not at this time con-

per cent. The same cities showed an
increase from 1880 TO 1890 of 2,567, 452,
or 40.6 per coat.
The population of Greater New
York is greater than that Of all Mis-
souri,, the 5th state of the union, in
rank of population. Following the
states down according to rank, one
does not get quite halfway before
reaching whose combined popula-
ton does not equal that of the coun-
try's metropolis. Minnesota and Mis-
sissippi (ranking 10th and goth, re-
spectively) could not together fur
nish enough people to make a town
that would come up to Greater New
York in number of inhabitants.
The 10 cities taking the leading rank
comprise New York, which, with more
than 100000 Inhabitants, properly
stands by itself; 2 cities, Chicago and
Philadelphia, each of which has pop
ulation in excess OF a million; 3 cities.
ST. Louis, Boston and Baltimore, which
have a population Of half a million
each; cities, Cleveland, Buffalo, San
Francisco, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
which have q population between 30o,-
o0C and 100000 each and cities, New
Orleans, Detroit, Milwaukee, Washing
ton, Newark, Jersey City, Louisville
and Minneapolis, which have a popu-
lation of between 100000 and 300, 900
each.

POINTS ABOUT ALASKA.

Alaska has almost doubled its pop.
ulation in the past 10 years.
A curious point about this increase
is that the increase of the northern
district has almost equaled the en-
tire population of the southern dis
trict at the time of the census OF
1890; and coincidentally the popula-
ton Of the southern district increased
by just about the entire number of
people who we're at that same time
in the northern district.
The following table shows the man
ner in which the two districts have
so curiously come to have about the
same population:

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland, May 6th.-Dr. E. A. Rose, a
pra cticing physician, formerly OF Yates
Center, HANS, was or what everyone
supposed to be his death bed. He had
Diabetes, and six Of his brother doctors
were in attendance and consultation at
his bedside. They had done everything
that medical skill could suggest to save
his life, but they were at last reluctant
ly forced to tell him that he must pre-
pare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew UP, she insisted that.
as a last resort. he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose the tide
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
and he Is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and it's cure has amazed the
physicians, and is the sensation of the
hour. 1t is interesting to note that,
while many others are being cured by
this great discovery in medicine, the
physicians themselves are among the
first to benefit, and that while the sim
pier and more prevalent forms, such as
Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and
Urinary Trouble and Female Weakness
disappear before it, the more malignant
for ms, such as Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes and Dropsy, which have always
been regarded as incurable, are yield
ing just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use Of this wonderful med
icine is becoming almost universal.

FLIES ON THE ADMIRAL,s HEAD.

Result of an Irishman's Attempt to
Initiate a Negro in Catching Flies.
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, in
"a Sailors Log" published by the APP
pletons, tells the following story:
when the Rhode Island was his
flag ship, Capt. Trenchard, who com.
manded, had a very accomplished
steward, a co1ored man, who became
so expert in catching flies off the cap
tain's bald head that he never seemed
annoyed by them. Admiral Lardner
had for his steward a fine, large,
heavy-handed Irishman, who watched
the colored man with great envy, while
his master, undisturbed, enjoyed his
meals. Pats master thrashed at the
flies, and swore roundly as they lighted
on his close-cropped hair. The colored
man went on catching flies with quick,
dextrous movements of his right hand,
until Pat could stand it no longer.
Drawing back, he made a vicious swing
at a fly, but instead of catching it, he
caught his master an awful blow on
the back of the head. The captain,
thinking there was a mutiny, grabbed
the carving knife and made after Pat
rick, who retreated to the spar deck,
and there was a hurdle race fore and
aft-the officer of the deck and the or
Derby trying to catch the admiral, who
was doing his best to put the carving
knife in the back of Pat, who finally
escaped. but never bothered any more
about flies on the admiral's read"
