THE ST. JO BOOM.

A City of 60,000 That Will Number 100,000 in Twelve Months. “Most remarkable statements are heard in every hotel lobby nnu on every railroad lain about St. Joseph, M 0.,” writes a press correspondent. “A large amount of Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis capital is being invested in St. Joseph real estate, ind i hear that a number of large enterorises. employing thousands of men and wrtu a capital that tops millions, have completed arrangement! for moving, bag and baggage, to this new center of emigration. 1 met a St. Joseph man on a Wabash train to-day. He tells me that the immediate cause of the great boom is the extension of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. This great system is making St. Joseph its Missouri River depot for its freight and stock traffic between Chicago and the Northwestern ranges, and has given the city a prominence as a railroad center equaled only by Chicago. The extension of the Rock Island has induced the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul to extend the diagonal southward to St. Joseph, and the Santa Fe to come up direct from Topeka and Atchison, in order to secure a short cut to Chicago, said to be sixty miles shorter than by any other way. The Rulo bridge will be completed by the first of August, and that will send the Burlington and Missouri trains from Denver straight through St. Joseph, eastward via the Hannibal. These and other favorable circumstances have combined to bring about a boom which, as 1 said in the outset, has become the absorbing topic of conversation in every prominent hotel lobby half way acioss the continent. I bear of men who have made a fortune in one day on an investment of SI,OOO. People are buying lots in hollows and on top of bluffs, and half the sales are made from the map without an inspection of the ground whereon they are located. The city has about 00,000 inhabitants, and not the least remarkable fact is that she is quoted in the last United States census as, next to Portland, the richest town of her size in the country, controlling the wholesale trade of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico. Her shipping facilities, coupled with her large wholesale trade, have made her perhaps the best manuiactnring and pork-packing point in the West. The new Stock Yards, the most complete west of Chicago, cover 440 acres of ground, and will shortly combine an hotel, stock exchange and several large packing houses, with other facilities. Local capitalists are erecting a new $300,000 holel, a safe depository, and companies have been organized to build a belt line and two cable while the Conned has just granted the right to two of the street-car companies to employ the electric motor. An inspection of the Boston Post’s weekly clearing-house reports for the past three months shows the percentage of increase the largest of any city quoted in the report. JJnder such like circumstances, my informant thought, the boom rested upon a solid footing. Strangers are coming in by every train, and he predicted that the city would have a population of 100,000 in the next twelve months. Large additions to the city are platted, pul on the market and sold in two days for residences, manufacturing and business purposes, the real estate deals ranging from $250,000 to $700,000 a dav, those of last week footing up $3,500,000.”

The Inquisitive Boy Again.

A young lady and a small, brighteyed boy entered a street car on Lake avenue yesterday afternoon. The lady deposited her fare and the boy’s, and the bell rang. “Aunt Ella,” said the boy, “what makes the bell ring?” “The driver rings the bell,” was the reply. “What does he do that for?” “Why, he does it to register the fflPO “What does he do that for?” “Because he has to.” “Oh.” Then there was a silence for half a minute. Presently the boy said: “ What is that round thing up there ?” “That is the register.” “What is that for?” “To register the fare.” “You said the ring registered the fare. ” “No, I didn’t say that.” “Yes, you did, Aunt Lila.” “Now, Johnny, don’t you contradict me; you are a naughty boy.” “Well, that’s what you said.” A silence of two minutes followed. It was broken by the boy, who said: “Say, Aunt Ella, what made you tell me that the ring registered the fare?” “Oh, I don’t know.” “You did say so, didn’t you, Aunt Ella?” “Yes, Johnny.” “Then what made you say that you didn’t say it ?” “I didn’t say that I didn’t say so. Don’t bother me, Johnny.” After another brief silence the boy returned to the attack. “Say, Aunt Ella, did you go to Sunday-school when you little?” “Yes, child, of course I did.” “Did you take any prizes?” “Yes, lots of them.” “Did you tell wrong stories as much as you do now ?” “Johnny, you are a bad boy. I shall tell your mother.” “1 wish you would tell her two times; that’s what I wish. ” “Why, Johnny?” “ ’Cause you wouldn’t tell the same story two times; that would let me out. Herald.

Families can live better for less money at the Grand Union Hotel than at any other first-class hotel in the city. According to a statement in the Revue Indus'ri 11 j , a method has been devised for successfully treating bagasse, the residual canes in sugar making, by means of which, that is, through direct compression, the material produces a combustible containing not more than 40 to 50 per cent, of water, and in this state the waste can be burnt directly in the boiler furnaces or carbonized without previous drying. This result is obtained by a preliminary division of the pieces of cane in a special apparatus, whereby the after compressing of the Bubs ance by presses of any convenient kind may be usefully secured. The compressed mass is formed into bricks by the addition of powdered fuel ashes or lime; and it is remarked as a notable illustration or instance of the utilization of a waste product reacting upon the original value of the material, that this conversion of waste sugar-cane into a useful fuel will render possible a special treatment of the cane, which will result in simplifying processes, saving labor, etc.

Extra'Liability to Malarial Infection.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak, and liver sluggish, are extra liable to the attacks of malarial disease. The most trifling exjjosure may, under such conditions, infect a system which, if nealthy, would resist the miasmatic taint. The only way to secure immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened digestion, enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. These results ara accomplished by nothing so effectively as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which long experience has proved to be the most reliable safeguard against fever and ague aud kindred disorders, as well as the best remedy for them. The Bitters are, moreover, an excellent invigorant of the organs of urination, and an active depurent, eliminating from the blood those acrid impurities which cr.ginate rheumatic ailments.

Asteroid Comets.

While agreeing in general with the theory that comets have their origin beyond the limits of the solar system, Prof. Daniel Kirkwood finds proof that some of those of short period are minor planets whose orbits in the asteroid zone have been changed through the perturbing influence of the larger planets. The third comet of 1884, for instance, seems to have been drawn from the asteroids bv Jupiter in May, 1875.

The Most Remarkable Business in the Country.

Our citizens have observed notices in the leading papers, from time to time, of a little harmless food plain cal.ed Aloxie, found in ■South America last year. Its fine taete as a beverage, and ability to restore nervous, weakly women in a few nays, and help overworked peoplo of both sexes* to do two days’ work in one with less fatigue, have made the demand so immense that s,>wO,OjU Unties have been sold in 17 mouths. Wuat vvid be the sale in five years at this rate?

“How do you like this town ?” asked a white gentleman of “Sam Johnsing,” who had just arrived in the town and started a barber shop. “De town am good enuff; but I’s sorry for de folks—dey am so pore.” “There seems to be considerable wealth,” remarked the customer. “Yes, dar seems to be; but hit’s all a snare and a collusion.

How to Know Good Meat.

Dr. Letheby lays down the following simple rules for the guidauce of those in search of good meat: It is neither of a pale pink nor of a deep purple tint. It has a marked appearance from the ramification of little veins of fat among the muscles. It should be firm and elastic to the touch. Bad meat is wet, scxldeii and flabby, with the fat looking like jelly or wet parchment. It should have little or no odor, and the odor should not he disagreeable. Diseased meat has a sickly, cadaverous smell, and sometimes a smell of physic. This is discoverable if the meat is chopped and drenched with warm water. It should not shrink or waste much in cooking. —He aid,of Htalth.

We are in blissful ignorance of the ordeal through which a husband who wishes to get rid of his wife has to pass. But we may be sure it is not such a fearful one as that cited above.— N< w York Tribune, The way for an orator to avoid making heavy speeches is to weigh his words well before speaking.
