COUSTHY IS GROWING.
Immensity f the 4-Paw-
Vmmm otldated Show Fnm That Fact. Historian hare said that the
last doeade of every
marked by great activity,
upheavals, wars, pesalaacas awl other unusual thing bans' bauai to occur. This country baa bad its wars and with the jlorieos reBults already known. The world is growing better, and only dyspeptic pessimists will attempt to maintain that it is net. Inaprevement is the order of the age, and reverence far established things ouUide ef religion is almeeta thing of the past A it is in other walks of life, so it is ia the amusement world. Theatres are now built at an expense which would have made theaunagers ef twenty-five years ago stand aghast. Shows are conducted apon plans of such enormous mageitade that anyone who would suggest a peaeiiile future existence, under the present size and shape, enly a very few years ago, would have been regarded as a visionary dreamer. Perhaps thare cooM be no better illustration of thee deductions than the Adam Ferepaugb and Sells Brothers' greet consolidation ef circuses, which will exhibit here Thursday Get. 5, Until two er three yeare ago ea-n of these shews was considered large enough in itself to be exhibited in any city in the country. The growth ef the country, however, has been so rapid, particularly in the urban centres of population, that many cities have been built up that have grown so large that they demand skews in keeping with their size. It is only a few years since the cities west of the Mississippi ceo Id be counted on two fingers 011110 hand St Lewis sad San Francisco. Now there are nearly a doaen cities that are quite as much a meiropeGa as New York wsstwen-i-fivo r thirtv vaara aea.
-1 " j r, They, two, demand entertainment on a massive seek. It is for the purpose ef providing eireos diversions tor these larger cities, both East and Wast, that the eeseofidatieu of these two shows was effected. The Barnum and Bailey show, which so long reigned supreme in the Eastern country, ia now a fixed British institution.
and it is net likely that it will be seen ia this conn try aaaus far

for such a purpose there can be ne question. Its owners are bus
iness men who would net take any
sort ot chance by placing aa in fenor show before the country.
When such men state that their
enterprise is tne largest ever known, their word may be takes
by the public in absolute reliance.
So it is that there is more than ordinary pleasure aroused ia the announcement ef its coming here, end it ought to be, and doubtless will tie, favored by one of the largest crowds that has ever been teen in this city.

Why He Could Not Help Her. He climbed aboard ths car slowly and with evident weakness, says the later Ocean, ami dropped into the only vacant seat, notwithstanding the fact that several

directly in front of the weak-looking man and swayed to and fro grimly before him glaring angrily dawn into his emaciated countenance the while. Presently the car lurched suddenly round a corner and one of her bundles M to the floor with a great sound of breaking git and china. The indignant weniiin gathered the fragments of her ruined household treasure with hasty, impulsive movsments, and
straightening up fairly snorted at the maa before her. "You might at least have put out a hand to save it," she told him contemptuously. The man colored, hesitated, and then spoke qiietly: "I have no hand on that side, madam," he said, while all the other passengers stopped talking and listened with sympathetic interest; "I left it en the hill at San Juan." Are Tea Xervoas. "Overwork and under-exercise result in nervous diseases,,' said a physician, recently. 'Preventive in ensures may be summed up in two wards," be continued: Physical development. Worry aaaaally kills more people than work. One should strive, however, to avoid all things that tend to disturb the nerves. Threw
away the pan that scratches and a
pencil that has a hard spot m it. Discard a needle that squeaks and abasia that leaks. Use sharp tools, wear soft garments that do sat rustle. Oil the hinges of the rheumatic door and fasten the creaking blind. Those may seem trifles, but such trifles irritate the nerves as much as a piece of woolen does a sere. Charles Lamb once said: 'That a carpenters hammer on a warm summer noon would fret him mere than midsummer madness.' "
