TERKE HAUTE, JULY 26,1890.
WESTWABD the center of population takes Ite way. )t baa crossed, the line from Ohio to Indiana.
IT turns out that President Harrison paid 110,000 for the Cape May cottage instead of getting it as a present. And so the lie goes on I
NOT satisfied with a population 1,101,000 given her by the census, Chicago falls back upon her school census and claims to have 1,205,983 souls. But what's a hundred thousand more or less to Chicago?
ONE of the new inventions recently patented is a device for throwing a jet of steam or hot water trom the front of railway engines to scare cattle from the tracks. Not a bad idea if the stream can be projected far enongh.
CANADA only expects to have a population of about 5,000,000 by the new census. That is less than the population of New York State and not a twelfth that of the Union. The Canadas ought to join tho United States. Then they will grow faator. _____
SENATOH SHERMAN IS said to have an nounced that be will retire from public life at the expiration of his present term, March 8, 18^3. He has been for many years one of the ablest men in the Senate and his retirement would be a real loss to the country. Mr. Sherman should follow the example of the grand old man of Knglaud, and hold on awhile yet.
IT used to be complained that Prince Bismarck didn't talk enough. Now be talks too much and in the wrong way He seems unable to bear his loss of power with equanimity and not being talked about by others as be used to be the great ex-obancellor talks about him self, and does too much criticising Some of Gen. Grant's faculty for silence would bo a good thing for Bismarck
THR Minneapolis Tribune practically admits tho census frauds in that city by saying that if 8t. Paul had minded her -rrpj- ."ttV.'—'s Sfte might have been credIROO! A- ,f in noon 80,000 between the two would have amounted to nothing in the eyes of the
Tribune. Verily, that Minneapolis is a fast,, bad town.
THK new Croton water works for New York City, now practically completed are ono of the great engineering feats of modern times. The length of tho aque duct is 33 milos, of which 30 miles is an 18 foot tunnel through solid rook. The work has been going on for over live years and its total cost will be nearly 124,000,000. The delivery capacity is 310 million gallons a day. Eight lives were lost in its construction.
Ai/niouom no prophet appears to have predicted it the present year has been one of unusual disaster by flood and storm. Beginning in January with a cyclone in Kentucky that killed 11 people, each month has witnessed disasters, the worst being tho Louisville in whlsh 440 were killed and the Minnesota lake storms which caused a loss of 120 lives. It is estimated that at least 1,500 Uvea have been lost this year by fires, storms and railway accidents.
THAT standard period leal, "Good Housekeeping,M suggests a profitable field of work for women in canning the jiilcos of fruits, such as grapes, cherries, berries, etc. Fruit juico much used in England for summer drinks but it is almost unknown in this country, the little that is in market selling higher than the best California wines. If canned when and where fruit is abundant and cheap a handsome profit could be realised from the business, which could be conducted on as large or small a scale as might be desired.
IT IS said the Hendricks monument at Indianapolis is the first In this country to be made of Bovena marble. The Bovena marble, comes from a mountain near Lake Maggiore. It Is a dark stone, russet in the rough, and when polished takes on a soft pinkish tint, which does not reflect the light as does other marble, and therefore harmonises artistically with the bronse of the statue. It has been u?ed extensively In Italy and France. Among the celebrated monu menu of Bovena marble are those of Garibaldi and Victor Emanuel at Rome and Leonardo di Vinci at Naples.
A CHICAGO minister preached last Sun day from the Lake Pepin disaster, drawing the conclusion that the steamboat was overwhelmed by the tornado because it was carrying a load of pie&mrtHaeekerg on Sunday. The preacher might well declaim against Sunday excursions, but there is some difficulty in agreeing with him that the Pepin disaster was a clear judgment trom heaven, because we remember that some months ago a building waa destroyed by a «yclotie which was filled with people engaged in religious worship, and there hare been other examples of like nature. What will the Rer, Probst say of such canesf

rUBWCATIOH OTTIC*,
co-operative
club, of De
catur, 111., seems to have demonstrated the practicability of co-operative housekeeping. The club has been in operation for some months and the members express themselves as well satisfied with the experiment. It is found that firstclass meals can be provided at a cost of 12.75 a week per member, or a fraction over 13 cents per meal. All the distress, worry and inconvenience of servant girls is avoided and the ladies of the house holds have more time and inclination for worthier pursuits. The members of "The Roby" vote it a great success and believe that many other households wonld enjoy the plan equally well if they would undertake it. An article in the current number of Good Honsekeep ing explains the method in detail
THB scheme of a great international railway connecting the United States and South America is reported to be making favorable progress. The route selected is by steamship from Tampa, Fla., to Cartagena, Colombia, a distance of 1,700 miles, against 5,410 miles by way of Mexico. From Cartagena a railroad 1,900 miles in length is proposed running up the valley of the Magdalena, crossing the Cordilleras, through a gap of only 6,000 feet elevation in a range 14,000 feet in height. Thence the rbad runs to the Valley of the Amazon, which it crosses, and then traverses the western watershed of that river and its tributaries at an elevation of 1,400 feet The territory of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru is traversed, and Bolivia is entered. The road will open up a rich agricultural and mining country and the subsidies will be one half the undeveloped mines and lauds equal to three large states. It is a project equal in extent to the building of the great Nor thorn Pacific railroad.
SIFT1NO IMMIGRANTS. We have heard a great deal of talk in recent years about "undesirable Immi grants*' and how to keep them out of this country. A plan has now been adopted which seems to be practical and to promise good results. At every foreign port from whence emigrants set out for the United States a competent medical examiner is to be employed by our government whose duty It will be to examine every emigrant and ascertain whether he or she is a fit person morally to be received into the United States whether the physical or mental condition of the emigrant would cause him or her to become a burden upon American taxpayers and whether the person is allllcted with a contagious disease. ,,
Something like this should have been done long ago, and thousands of unfit immigrants could have been kept out of the country. All honest, healthy, industrious people are welcome here, no 1 rr atrmptflrtflMIr lriaane~, dlsealed and vicious elements upon us. That kind of business must be stopped.
HAILROA DS IN PA LESTINE, The modern improvements are to be introduced in sight-seeing as well as elsewhere. A railway is now climbing Pike's Peak and it is proposed to build similar lines to the tops of the Alps Already the summits of Mount Washington and Vesuvius can be reached by steam, so that mountain climbing is pretty well done away with except as a matter of recreation.
Railways are also contemplated in the Holy Land, one from Joppa to Jerusalem and another to the Dead Sea, Damascus, Bethlehem and other points of Interest. This will be a great improvement on the ancient methods of travel in Palestine which are still in use there.
Egypt is not to be neglected either.
OUT-DOOR&
An exchange declares that "if the present taste for atheletlc culture shall last a couple of generations, the Americans will be the most perfect specimens of mankind on the globe," and continues, "the American of a generation ago was lank, leathery, dyspeptic and had bad teeth. The young American of each sex is rosy, strong and handsome. Them Id die aged American of to-day has found out that there la one glorious panacea for nine-tenths of his physical ilia, and that is plenty of outdoor exercise and moderate eating.*'
There is more point in the last sentence than in the first. What we need is not so much the swinging of dumb bells, or pulling of rings and topes in an indoor gymnasium as pleasant exercise out of doors. Walking, riding, boating, playing ball and tennis, swimming, anything done In the open air, this is what is building up the American race. Shorter hours of labor and the Saturday half-holiday in summer are great aids In this direction, sl»« they afibrd the opportunity for out-door exercise.
The robust, brainy men of the country were mostly born and bred on terms and gained their strength of mind and body from the pure air aad sunshine of country life, tbeir muscle was not mstoped in gymnasium* irat in the vartod work of farm life. Gymnasiums are good if carefully u*ed bat they are very
dangerous from the liability of taking cold. There is no danger from exercise in the open air, where life, health and vigor can surely be gained.
THE MAIL'S NEW8B0 YS.
SERIES OF PRIZES TO BE AWARDED TO THE BOYS SECURING THE LARGEST NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS
DURING THE NEXT FIFTEEN WEEKS.
The attention of the Mail's newsboys and all other boys wishing to become young business men is called to an announcement in another part of to-day's paper. By way of explanation we will say the card there found represents a facsimile of a membership card that will be given each boy selling the Mail on August ltf or thereafter. On this card will be kept a record of each week's aales and according to the conditions named the following prizes will be awarded: if#®5*
FLO
IS GOLD
to the boy securing the largest number of new subscribers, |5 in gold to thb boy securing the next largest, $2 50 to the third, f2.00 to the fourth, fl to the fifth, 75 cents to the sixth and fifty cents to the seventh.
According to the plan all boys will be on an equal footing, whether they now have twenty-five subscribers or only two, or Indeed none. The boy who just now decides to sell has as much chance for the first prize as the onev who has be el in or a
It is suggested to parents who have boys between the ages of seven and eighteen'years who do not already sell the Mail that they encourage them to start out and not only work for the prizes but also to secure a good nuipber of regular subscribers. The boy buys the papers two for five cents and sells them for 5 cents each. Thus
if
he •sells 10 pa
pers each Saturday he makes 25 cents, tt not only teaches him busines^ ideas but enables him to help himself in financial matters.
Boys, keep this announcement in mind and work hard.
All know that T. J. Griffith's goods are strictly first-class. He will make big reductions to close out certaiu lines between now and Sept. 1st.

railroad is to go from Alexandria to the great pyramid, the top of which will be reached by au elevator.
All this is not substantial, to be sure, but there is not much sentiment left in the world. Time is too valuable nowa days to spend hours In accomplishing what can be done in minutes. More people will go round the world in 100 days than would ever think of doing so when it took three years or more. Palestine may not look so ploturesque cut up with railroads, nor the pyramids so impressive with elevator attachments, but a great many more people will go to see them and there will be some compensation In that.

HAYS:
"If I were required to guess, off-
hand and without collusion with higher
minds, what is the bottom cause of the
amazing material and intellectual ad's vancement of the last fifty years, I
should guess that it was the modern
born and previously nou-existent dis-
position on the part of men to believe ,24^- *.

that a tiew'idea eon have value.
With the. long roll of the mighty
names of history present in our minds
we axe' not privileged to doubt that for
the last twenty or thirty centuries every
conspicuous civilization in the world Usif., 4-' did produce Intellects able to invent and
create the things which make our day.a
wonder perhaps we may be justified in
inferring, then, that the reason they did
not do It was that, the publio reverence
for old ideas and hostility to new ones,
always stood in their way and was a
wall they could not break down nor
climb over."
