The 'Westminster Gazette says that 2.396 'of Spurgeon's sermons have been printed and sold, and that the sum to tal of the sales reaches nearly 100,000, 000, an average of about 35,000 copies of each sermon. It has been found on Investigation that only a small percentage of the Chicago school children have ever seen a "beef critter" or a lamb.

Three Long Island City ministers one, of them an archdeacon called on Mayor Pat Gleason the other day to talk about Sunday baseball and about the Impending exhibition of two prize fighters. The mayor told tbem that In his opinion It was a great gain to have the hoodlums at a ball game on Sunday Instead of lounging around the streets. As for the sparring-match, he Invited the ministers to witness it as his guests, and to bring their family physicians along with them. That last year was a notable one In iron production Is made clear in the statistics given out by Secretary James M. Swank of the American Iron and steel association. He places the pro duction of pig-iron for 1895 at 9,446,308 gross tons In 1890, the year of largest previous output. Bessemer steel ingots to the amount of 4)909,128 tons were produced in larger quantity in 1895 than ever before, with the exception of steel rails, and cut nails which are being dis placed by wire nails. There has lately been some discussion In the English papers concerning the right of passengers to engage seats In railroad carriages by placing luggage upon them. Now a piasgow man has patented a device for engaging a seat. The arrangement consists of a tin box, from which, by dropping in a copper, you get two tickets, one of which with th word "Engaged" upon it you han above the seat on a peg provided, and the other you retain. The skid other ticket enables you to claim your seat and also covers life insurance. The invention will be on all lines at' an early date. . . Among the later utterances of Euro pean men of science upon the influ ence of food and drink upon the. hu man system is one by Professor Shut zenstetn on the effect of tea and coffee on the processes of digestion. He finds that 94 per cent of coagulated egg al bumen will be digested in artificially prepared gastric Juice, whereas if tea is added the proportion digested is re duced to 66 per cent, while of a de coction of coffee mixed with the albu men the gastric fluid was only able to digest 61 per cent These percentages varied according to the strength of the infusions of tea and coffee. He attrib utes the deleterious effect of both to the presence of tannin extracted dur ing the progress of making, and not to the presence of thein and caffeln. "When is a woman old?" Is a ques tion which has been asked of all the leading actresses in Germany. The answers are worth presenting to the public. Marie Raisenhofer declares her opinion thus: ' "Woman is old when she begins to love reason and finds no love in return." Jennie Gross keeps to the safe side, saying: "Woman is as old as aha looks." Frau Nuscha Butz is of the opinion that "a woman is only old when she tries by force to become young again." Rosa Bertens says: "A woman is old when she begins to ask herself, When is a woman old?' " But Clara Ziegler, the celebrated tragedi enne, puts the best answer into these words: "When is a woman old? The conceited, never; the unhappy, too soon; the wise, at the right time." Admiral W. T. Evashlutoff. of the Russian imperial navy, who is travel ling on a year's leave of absence, is visiting his brother-in-law, Theodore Barker, of Portland, Oregon. He is thus quoted in the Oregonian: "I shall stay in Portland for some time, and while here I intend to investigate all the modern methods of the canning in dustry, so that I may establish my can neries on Avatcha Bay accdrding to the very latest methods. Plentiful does not describe the abundance of salmon over there. The bays and rivers are simply alive with them. I shall take every- thing with mo to establish a flislj class cannery, and all the foremen q the different departments will be W.nerl cans, probably men from th Colombia River, We are well fixed for a njurket for our goods, for, Russia being silver-standard country, we can get labor at silver figures, and sell our p duct to England.gettlng the prices pait by a gold-basis country." The Admiral says that Russia lb greatly dissatisfied with a silver-standard monetary systeii, and will get to the gold basis as soim as practicable, but in the mean tinU he proposes to take advantage of the! pres ent situation.

THE ltlGHT TO BIS A It Altjtti'.i There are Sarsfleld Guards In .Mas sachusetts, as there are in Connec icut, and for aught we know there an also Emmet Guards In Massachusetts of whom the Sarsflelds have "conti ipt." The Massachusetts Sarsflelds G.iards are a semi-military body of Rjman Catholics who paraded with arria on St Patrick's day last year at BWston In opposition to the statute limiting the right to carry arms to certain classes of men duly organized and specified. Their case was brought before a ower court and decided against them and. the Supreme court has affirmed : the judgment. The main contention qi; the guards rested on the constitutional pro vision that "the people have a rlgpt to keep, and bear arms for the common defense." Judge Allen, who delivers the opinion of the court, says or! this point: The right to keep and bear!j.rms for. the common defense does noii in clude the right to associate together as a military organization, or to drill and parade with arms In cities and t&:vns, unless authorized. so to do by law. (This is a matter affecting the public sicur ity, quiet and good order, and !t Is within the police powers of the legisla ture to regulate the bearing of art 13 so as to forbid such unauthorized 1 trills and parades. The protection of a sim ilar constitutional provision has f ten been sought by persons charged with carrying concealed weapons, and i has been almost universally held tha the legislature may regulate and limit;, the mode of carrying arms. 1; It was further cpntended fori the guards that the muskets they cat Tied had been bored out and were ineff ej tlve as firearms, and hence were not arms in the meaning Of the sta But the court says this makes n rerence. "witn tne exception 01 danger of being actually shot dow: the evils which the statute was in ed to remedy still existed In the.p In vrhXch the defendants took part ' i,', ; v.- BSJEBCH US, JJTfl, Our minister to Russia, Mr. Bred'-sen- rldge, is a citizen of Arkansas, an 3 as good an American as there is, bit 'he has had to conform to court ustes, so far as attire is concerned, airing the ceremonies attending the cogna tion of the Czar.' Still, the costurie is very modest, and Mr. Breckinridj?a is far from presenting a gaudy appear ance. A black dress coat, with a fetal buttons, White vest, knee breechesrand silk stockings constitute his "make up," while, on the other hand, the minsters of other countries are able to prihent a most dazzling picture In the unifL'rms of their diplomatic corps. But mdtiest as Minister Breckinridge's rig is in comparison with the rigs of most oVfthe others who are officially attending ' the great show, It has brought out criti cism from some who are such sticklers for "republican simplicity" that jthey would be glad to see our minister' rlve the effete representatives of effete 1 ion archies a lesson by appearing . i :. a ready made "business suit," anc . if warm enough, in his shirtsleeves. The Bridgeport Farmer, which knows ' hat true Americanism is and is also well posted in the customs of Euro,ean courts, hopes that Captain Boutellei will call the attention of congress to Mj uls ter Breckinridge's knee breeches! and silk stockings. tt says: Ambassador Breckinridge had he been a "true j,m- erican" would have insisted upon dtss-. ing like one, or else staying away ittom the ceremonies. There was a real ifeut-and-out American once who useli to brag of having compelled Queen 1 Vic toria to receive him at one of her di aw ing rooms In a costume that would 1 ave excluded him from a reception atj one of New York's Four Hundred. Jiou telle should not miss his opportunity to let Ambassador Breckinridge If arn what is thought of such conduct a 3 he has been guilty of. It is no excusj- for him to allege, as he does, that hej iiad to appear in breeches or stay oui iide of the show. A spirited intimation from him to the master of ceremonies, that if the American ambassador Were not received in that article of maM at tire which Teddy Roosevelt will no:, al low to be called "pants," our W bite Squadron would bombard St. Peters burg would have opened the j lost sacred door of the Kremlin to the (rep resentative of the American Eagle. It is perhaps too late to do itiuch about Minitser Breckinridge, but j;t is not too late to consider the effect! Chat the prevalence of bicycle and "gawf" breeches in this country will have on true Americanism. 1A.S1UQ M4iiS. Two Sorts of Jackets. Elaborate Jacket bodices patterned after the styles that prevailed durlns the reigns of the Louis are now so abundant that they are not as striking as they were a few months ago, but they are still very handsome. It is a good design of this sort, a Louis XVI. model, that is pictured here, its mate rial being mode colored cheviot. The revers are of dresden figured silk and are finished with a yellow ribbon ruffle. White cloth covered with a jabot of spangled chiffon appears In the vest, and ruffles of Brussels lace finish the Dresden silk sleeves at the wrists. White cloth stiffened with wire but turned down furnishes the collar, and mode cloth gives the plain skirt, which is lined with changeable silk. A new kind of neglige jacket that is made very -boxy on a front and back yoke is appearing. They are of all sorts of material and of all degrees of elaborateness. The prettiest are those of wash silk in a solid bolor set on a yoke of dresden wash silk. The yoke fastens, but the rest of the jacket hangs free, and a high collar or a soft fluffy ruche'is at the neck. Thse jack ets are put to all sorts of use. Al though perfectly loose, they do not make the wearer seem baggy, because the yoke has a ship-shape effect. Hard pushed society women find them inval uable for slipping on for the three or four minutes rest that sometimes comes between dinner and the early evening engagement. Of course wo men are obliged to save their strength and put themselves into a gown for din ner that will serve for the theater, and over such a gown this Jacket will slip, covering the bare neck and arms and saving the dainty elaboration of the waist from injury while Mlladi lays her tired self down on the couch for a bit of a nap till Marie calls that Monsieur Is waiting. Doesn't that sound nice! For the rest of us who have few evening gowns, no Marie and no Monsieur, these jackets are quite as convenient. They are made of dainty prints, with bows of fresh ribbon that come off when the Jacket goes to the wash. For breakfast they are a welcome change from the wrapper, and in one and a dark skirt, the housewife Is ready for an interview with the marketman or seamstress, or even for an encounter with the ubiquitous gas man.

Truth. The Commercial View of the Crustacean In Hi Period of Utter Ilefencelessness. (From the Washington Post.) "The soft-shell crab season has opened in earnest," said Mr. A. T. La Valette of Maryland, one of the largest shippers of the toothsome crustacean. "My town of Crisfield, on the eastern shore of Maryland, with a population of about five hundred, furnishes more soft-shell crabs to the great cities of the country than all the other shipping points on the entire Atlantic coast. The normal daily shipments of soft shells from Crisfield amount to thre$ car loads, and one firm during the height of the season sends out thou sands of dozens dally. "They are assorted as they are taken from the water, according to size and temperature, and packed in sea grass under a very light cover of crushed ice. Those packed for long distances the raclflo coast and even Europe must be selected of medium size and absolutely perfect in form, and placed In single layeds of the soft bed of grass about two inches deep, in trays built Ilka those of a trunk, and put Inside the re frigerator, the top tray containing a slab of ice of thickness proportionate to the distance. "Upward of one thousand boats are used in the business at Crisfield, the crew consisting usually of a man and a boy, and, as many of them go ten or twelve miles from home, they generally start out a little after midnight for tha grassy plot selected for the day's work in order to reach the crabbing ground by daybreak. From this time until sunrise the crabs are moving about lively, and more can be gathered then than during all the rest of the day. The crabs are caught in scrapes, two and three of which are dragged by each boat depending on the force of the wind. The scrapes are similar to the oyster dredge, with the difference that the Iron bar next to the bottom is with out teeth, and the bag is all twine net ting. "The men are paid from one to four cents each for crabs, according to the catch, and the week's pay per man runs from five to forty dollars, the moat expert and Industrious averaging twenty-five dollars weekly. Those that have not left the hard shell, known as 'shedders,' are put In shallow floats drawing six inches of water. The crabs while in this dormant condition do not breed, and while lying In the warm sur face , water they 'shed,' that Is, free themselves from their hard shells, growing to nearly twice their former size in a few hours after the transfor mation. The entire change from a 'shedder' to a soft-shell takes but a few minutes, and can be readily observed in the shallow floats." FOR A MUNICIPAL STATE. Greater New York Partisans Dream of One to Couie The Multitude of People in the Greater City . Have the Same Representation at Washington ns a Handful of Westerners, and a Separate State is Proposed. (From the Now York Sun.) Extreme partisans of the Greater New York now propose the Inaugura tion of a movement to make this great municipality a free and Independent state. The proposition, heard from time to time In the conversation of the agitators or put forward In the news papers when the rural legislators be come unusually oppressive in their mandates relating to this city, awakens high appreciation or shocks the state pride the conservative New Yorker, according to the habit of mind, the calling and the personal equation of the auditor. That the proposal Is audacious none has denied; that it arouses the percep tive faculties like a vast astronomical hypothesis with ' the resplendent se quence of glorious achievement all ack nowledge. The political effect, widely considered, of the enterprise Involves a problem of statesmanship that so far has been only gingerly approached in the matter of detail. Aside from the desire to be rid of government by rural lawmakers which has'been expressed over and again by fretful citizens, an other purpose about which' not much has been heard has actuated the pro jectors of the separate state, the desire to procure "home-rule" representation at Washington, in accordance with the enormous population of the territory here affected." ; Three million persons are entitled to have their peculiar wants considered when they unite to aBk a heating of their desires. When by reason of Contiguity of residence and interrelation or dependence of pur suits they form a homogeneous com munity the justice of their demand for proportionate representation in the councils of the state Will not in the ab stract be dented. But three millions of people in something like one hundred square miles comprised in the Greater New York have only half as much to say In the higher legislative body at the national capital as 45.761 persons in Ne vada. That was the population of that state in 1890. At the time of Nevada'3 greatest population, according to the Federal census reports, in 1880, she had only 62,266 inhabitants. Three millions of people here have only half as much to say In the same branch of the congress as less than half a million people in Colorado. Colora do's population In 1890 was 412,198. In other words, Colorado has in the senate six times the representation of. the me tropolltan community in the state of New York. The assessed valuation of property in the state of Colorado in 1890 was $193,254,127.38. In the following year the assessed valuation in the city of New York alone (the then New York) was $1,785,338, or nearly ten times as great as that of the whole Centenni al state. Colorado put out, according to her own estimate, seventeen and one-third million dollars' worth of gold from her mines last year, and one of her leading papers expressed Just pride In it. New York city, without her new acquisitions, spends nearly ten million dollars a year In charities alone, includ ing public and private contributions. Private charitable Institutions here represent a valuation of more than double the gold output of Colorado, or thirty-six million dollars. Nearly dou ble the amount of Colorado's output of gold for last year is lying in one vault In New York that of the Clearing House. The value of the enormous bulk of the foreign commerce of this city would probably make all the known contents of Colorado's mines look insignificant; yet a fifty-cents-on-the-dollar Colorado senator has as much to say in modifying the appropri ation for harbor improvements as the senator representing New York. The greater New York has seven times the population of Rhode Island in one-tenth of the territory.' In an area nearly three thousand times that of the new greater city, Texas has less than seventy-five per cent, of the population of the new municipality. The Greater New York has three-quarters of a mil lion people more than the state of Mas sachusetts. California has only a little more than a third as many people as make up the population of the Greater New York, and all the mineral wealth taken from her mines since 1848 fall3 short of the assessed valuation of New York city by more than seven hundred million dollars. Half a dozen years ago 'the cities of New York state had only about fifty per cent, of the state's population. It was stated before the senate cities com mittee last winter that the cities now have seventy-one per cent. On an esti mate that the state's population has in creased as much proportionately with in the last five years as has that of New York city proper, the Greater New York has forty-six per oent. of the state's people. If the population of the Union were divided equally among the states, the new state of Manhattan would be enti tled to ono-forty-slxth of the whole. She would have within her narrow lim its one-twenty-thlrd of the whole. Her people now have one-ninetieth of the voice of the Federal senate, when they should have, according to numbers, one-twenty-thlrd. , The Nevada or the Colorado sllverlte, with nothing to lose, speaks for' twenty-five thousand or a quarter of a million people, and the sound-money man, standing for the wealth and business stability of this port and the country as a whole and speaking for three millions of people, is obliged to weigh up in the balance with him. These arc Indications of some of the phases of the question of an indepen dent state. The vast aggregation that makes up the population of this great municipality Is a number to be reck oned with. Three millions of people clamoring for self-government have stirred up considerable of a fuss before now. That's all there were in the colo nies that followed up the Boston Tea party with a series of lively entertain ments for the British. Xerxes would have to squeeze more tears than he shed for the army going on to Thermo pylaeallowing a moderate discount on Herodotus if he dropped one for each of us in the Greater New York. The whole population of England conquered by the bastard William, as he cheerful ly called himself, would be swallowed up In the Greater New York, for it numbered only about two million. They were conquered indeed, a com munity of wood-bullders by stone building people, but the ttondltions would be reversed for the Conqueror who should come down on the Greater New York; the most advanced methods would be in operation against, not in behalf of him. The good countrymen sometimes say that it would not do for them to let the wicked city run away In its wickedness, forgetting that in their virtues people fall. They say the same thing in the Presbyterian church about the Theological seminary located here. But the seminary in the New York way goes on its course and wins success, and the rustics, religious and otherwise, hear the echo of Tweed,' What are you going to do about it? The big city goes' on irresistibly, as its Institutions go on, in the way of triumph, Increasing and multiplying, and the obstruction of the countrymen is vain. "How many children have you got?" a Catholic asked of a Protestant who had been arguing with him about the future of the country in regard to church influence. "None," was the answer. "Well; I have ten," his opponent said; "our children will settle this." The Greater New York Is In popula tion within perhaps about six hundred thousand of the rest of the state. Brooklyn gained that number of people In a generation prior to 1890. The new state, If It were formed, would hold among the states about the same position as England does among the nations, in some respects. It would be a financial and manufacturing state, unable to feed itself from its own earth and a purchaser of food supplies al ways; a great commercial and moneta ry center, governing itself and devot ing its talents to the furtherance of the trade relations of the world. And the old state of New York would retain her greatness. Without the Greater New York she would have three times the population of Mary land, nearly half as many people again as Massachusetts, and as many as Ohio, which just now is seeking to im press her greatness upon an unwilling east She would have the waterways that have been one of the chief means of her greatness, and she would not cease to be a maritime state. Eastern Long Island would give her ocean frontage, and she would develop Austin Corbln's great port scheme for ,Mon taUk Point, and the Hudson river, un der the supreme jurisdiction of the Sec retary of War as navigable water, would give her tide-water ports close to her capital. .The natural attractions that have brought to her "throngs of tourists greater1 than those moving by caravan in the east would still bring Into her coffers the dollars of innumer- Half A MILLION DOLLARS To be Given Away in Articles of Real Value to the Users of Mail Pouch "Chewing and Smoking" (The Only ANTI-NERVOUS and ANTI-DYSPEPTIC) TOBACCO.
