NEW YORK'S STEADY GROWTH.

The City Has Never HalttJd Since It Was Firat Fairly Started. The people of New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island and certain near-by northern towns resolved to join.' themselves together Into one city, wjLich Is now the Greater New York. It embraces three hundred and forty-one square miles of territory, and includes a population of nearly three? million four hundred thousand. Besides these, At least another million people dwelf on the New Jersey side of the Hudson .river, quit® as near and as closely identified wltli ( the great city on Manhattan Island as, are those of the northern and eastern suburbs. This makes a population ,of nearly four and a half millions whiejh may be said to belong to New York, making It not only by far the largest center of human life and interests l(n America, but, excepting only London, ithe most populous spot on the globe. How has it happened that this vast city has grown up where it stands? Why did not the American metropolis qrise somewhere else? Is its position all an accident, or does 'history show sound reasons for its situation 1 The earliest settlement here wap merely a trading station that gradually became a small seaport, like a dozens others along the coast. Before the so nearly alike that he*would have been a wise prophet who truly foretold which would thrive. Indeed, many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis Wfere to be the two great American seaports. Great cities arise at the 'points where the greatest number of pieople find it convenient to*meet at flrstffor business, and later for pleasure. You cannot force a city to grow in an unnatural or unsuitable situation; and it is no easier to prevent a city from growing in itsi proper place. Bus the conditions that change a village into a big town, and expand the town into>a city or metropolis, are not the same in different parts' of the globe, and vary with the march of the centuries; so that now many an ancient world-market, like Nineveh or Memphis, has totally disappeared; while towns like Berlin have lately in-' creased with amazing rapidity, after a long history ns small and insignificant 1 places. As for New Yofik, it has never halted nor gone backward for a moment since it was fairly started on its career in 1623—St. Nicholas.

Women Postal Clerks.

The German Government has been} making inquiries from the postmaster) general of the United States as to the) employment of women in the postal 1 service. In his report the postmaster) general states that there are in the United States 107 women employed in the postal department at Washington, 7,070 women postmasters throughout the. country, and probably 80,000 women who are assisting in the various post-, offices. It is the experience of the Uni- ( ted States Government that the ser-' vices of women in the postal depart-* ment have proved almost, if not equal-i ly, as satisfactory as those of the men., and among them there are some of the; most faithful and efficient servants of) the Government. The salaries newt paid to women In the department vary/ from $240 to SI,BOO a year.

Compressed Air as a Motor.

Compressed air is to be the motive power of a woolen mill at Almonte, Ont. When ill news comes too late to bo serviceable to your neighbor, keep it to yourself.—Zimmerman. ;

The Coldest Spot.

The coldest region of the globe, that of Werkojank, In Siberia, where the lowest temperature of 0.90 degrees Fahrenheit ha* been observed, and the mean of January is 0.48 degrees, is inhabited by about ten thousand five hundred people of the native races. In a large part of this region the air is so dry and winds are so rare, that the intensity of the cold is not realized. Further east there are sometimes terrible storms. In the summer time the temperature, sometimes rise* to 80 degrees in the shade, while it freezes at night The latter part of this season is often marked by copious rains and extensive inundations. Vegetation is scanty. There are no trees. The people hunt fur-bearing animals, fish, and raise cattle and reindeer. It requires about eight cows to support a family, four being milked In the summer aud two In the winter. The cattle are fed on hay In the winter, and are allowed to go out occasionally when it is not too cold, their teats being carefully covered with felt. Milk is the principal food, occasionally supplemented with hares, which are quite abundant. The bouses are of wood, covered wltfi clay, and consist of one room, in which the people and their animals live together. The wealthier classes are better provided with lodging and food. The people are very hospitable, but excessively punctilious concerning points of honor, such as the place at table.

Plants Which Give Light.

There are a number of plants and flowers which give out a phosphorescent light in the dark. Linnaeus first noticed this phenomenon in the common nasturtium, whose flowers seemed to him to have a faint Iridescence at night Later observations by others showed that the light whs stronger after very sunny days. Among other plants which possess this singular property are the marsh lijy and the fraxlnella. The last named secretes a volatile oil which oozes out during hot weather, spreads ip a thin layer over the flowers, and forms a vapor which becomes luminous. in the darkness. In the coal mines near Dresden grows a species of fungus which “exhibits the appearance of luminous festoons of shifting colors.”—La Nature.

The Oldest Volunteer.

A New York State doctor, aged 109, volunteered his services to the President recently as an army surgeon. At his advanced years he can read without glasses, and walk ten miles a day. The oldest staudard medicine is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which has no equal for indigestion, dyspepsia and constipation. One bottlo does much good.

Telegraph in the Suez Canal.

A most ingenious system is employed by which the director of the Suez canal can tell at a glance the exact position of all vessels passing through it. A model is placed in the office at Port Said and the whole canal is worked from headquarters by means of the telegraph, the position of each ship being marked by a figure on thp model. It is thus made easy to arrange for vessels passing each other.

A New Zealand author recently applied to Mr. Kipling for advice, and received the following note, which, he says, he considered “encouraging”: “No man’s advice is of the least benefit in our business (and I am a very busy man). Keep on trying till you either fail or succeed.” Mr. Kipling, says the New York Evening Post,, certainly takes his own advice, and keeps on trying, the latest thing of his to fall under the eye being something very like nonsense verses to go with William Nicholson’s “AP rnanach of Twelve Sports.” The lines written for the Illustration of “Coaching” are a fair sample of the whole: “The pious horse to church may trot, A maid may work a man’s salvation. Four horses and a girl are not. However, aids to reformation."

Knew He Was German.

A German and Frenchman sat opposite each other at table d’hote in a certain hotel in Switzerland. “You are a Frenchman, I suppose?” inquired the German at the commencement of the meal. ’‘Yes,” was the reply, “but how do you manage to find that out?” “Because you eat so much bread,” said the German. There was a long pause. When the dinner was over the Frenchman in turn questioned his vis-a-vis. “You are a German, I presume?” “To be sure, but tell me, pray, how you made that discovery.” “Because you eat so much of everything,” was the dry retort.—London Figaro.

Swedish Female Shylock.

Stockholm has a female usurer and she is the worst usurer in the capital. Her victims are chiefly cadets at the army and navy academies whose pocket money gives out a long time before the next remittance can be expected. She lives in an elegant residence and to a glass of champagne she generally succeeds in persuading her young clients to sign papa’s or uncle’ name to the note—merely as a matter of form. As a rule, papa or uncle has passed through the naval or army academy when a young man and knows the mademoiselle from the days he sowed bis wild oats—consequently the drafts or notes do not go to protest

Broadly speaking, the essential difference between merchant-ships and warships is that the former are designed to carry their loads, or principal portions thereof, low down In the hold, whereas warships have to carry their heavy burdens of armor and armament high up on their sides.

A CHARGE AND A RETREAT.

“ “—s'Turkish Army. Old Mustapha Bey waved his sword and sang out to me to come albng with them; .so I forgot that I was a simple medical officer. I drove the spurs into my horse, and in half a minute I was riding alongside Czetwertlnskl In a wild charge against the flying Russians. • * * There was a large field of ripe maize on our right as we wait down the hill, and I could see the Russians running through it as hard as their legs could carry them, believing, of course, that a strong body of cavalry was swooping down to cut off their retreat. * * * In a moment more the Russians suddenly faced around, and, recognizing that they were attacked by a mere handful of men, took np a formation and poured their fire Into us in earnest. Hassan Labri Pasha, who was watching the whole thing, foresaw that our retreat was likely to be cut off, and he sounded the retreat We wheeled our horses just in time, drove the spurs In and galloped back for our lives.

Probably no man except one who has been in a similar position can even faintly guess at the rapid change of feeling which comes over qne at such a crisis. A few moments before, while we were galloping forward against the fugitives, I felt as brave as a lion; but when once I had turned my back to them and heard their bullets whistling round me. a mortal dread came over me, and if I had had a hundred millions In the bank I would have given It all to be a furlong further from the muzzles of those Russian rifles. It was every man for himself, of course, and we did not attempt to preserve any sort of formation. The Instinct of a hunted animal flying for cover made me turn toward the maize field, and I galloped into the friendly shelter of the tall stems, bending my heaid low over my horse’s neck and urging him forward with voice and spur. The maize was tall enough to conceal a horse and man completely, so that the Russians could not take aim at any individual mark, but they poured Incessant volleys into the field, and many a bullet fired at random found Its billet. As these hundreds of bullets cut off the maize stalks In all directions around me, I must confess that my previous recklessness had given place to p. ghastly, overmastering terror. Wherever I turned danger was lying by my side, and I could only press blindly forward and hope for the best. A trooper close by me suddenly threw up his arms and seemed to spring several feet up from the saddle before he fell with a thud among the blood-soaked maize stalks. It occurred to me then that he must have been shot through the heart.—“ Under the Red Crescent,” by Dr. Charles S. Ryan.

Enormous Slaughter of Lobsters.

“The More You Say the Less People Remember.” One Word With You, SAPOLIO

The receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have turned their attention to the improvement of the grades on the' Third division, from Cumberland to Grafton, or rather that portion which lies between Aitamont, the top of the 17-mile grade, and Terra Alta, where the Cranberry grade begins to descend. The Hue passes through Deer Park and Oakland and crosses what is known as the’ “Glades” of the Alleghany Mountains. The grades are short and choppy, some of them being 80 to 85 feet to the mile. One* of the first pieces of work to be done is * now in progress at No. 58 cut, where the' grade is being reduced from 81 feet to 42% feet per mile, with equations for curvature. It is expected that the cuttiiig down of this grade will enable the receivers to increase the train load from 1,000 tons to 1,300 tons on east-bound trains. One mile Of the roadway will be lowered, and it is expected that the work will be completed by the middle of October. Any man may make a mistake, but none but a fool will continue it.— Cicero.
