The number of hogs in the Unite ! States on .lanuary I, 1887, was estimated at 41,(112,830, against 4<1,0112,000 on .lanuary 1, ISKtJ, nnd 45,143,340on dnnn nrv I. 1885.

A faithful record is made of the ascents,and a ero-s is set against the name of avery one who fails t*» reach tlieir journey’s end. There have been thirty-two excursions to the summit tliis year, notwithstanding the evil reports of the accidents in former yc’ars. _ A writer in tlie New York Tribune recommends the appointment of an ex¬ pert in all banks, who w ill bo capable of taking tlie place and doing the work of any man in the concern, Loin the presi¬ dent. down, lie is to be empowered to say to the president or cashier, “I will go over your assets 13 day,” or send .hr teller or other employe on a short vaca¬ tion nt any time, while he takes hh pluc By this plan no one would dart abstract a dollar from the bank, at lie could not tell at what moment the ex¬ pert would examine his books and dis¬ cover the shortage.

A San Francisco new-qaipcr offered $200 to the one who would correctly guess the number of tyjK* in a jar, cx hibited in tin* Exposition there. Two men were ancccs-ful, naming the correct number 4.200. How they came to bit on that number is interesting, One of them once guessed the number of shot in a jar about the same -ize as tlie one con tabling the typ< There were 95,000. lie thought there were one-third as many type as shot, and so divided 95,000 by three, and. as he said, add a little, to make it even. Tho other man saw a crowd around the Jar, und felt in his pocket for a pencil with which to write a number, lie couldn't find one, and moved on; but afterward, feeling strongly impelled to make n guess, felt again for a pencil, and found un old lottery ticket, on which was the number 34,200. He borrowed a pencil, put down the number, and won # 100. Gilman Drake I.utwiler is the name of a fivc-ycar-oM child In Griffin, Ga., who has to l>e kept at home to prevent him from lying down on railroad tracks to enjoy the “fun” of watching a train pass over him (>ne day, not long ago, he got on the cowcatcher of a Georgia Mid¬ land locomotive to take a ride, but fell off upon the track, where he lay while the engine and train passed over him, rising up at the rear end of the train uninjured and chuckling at flic adven¬ ture. So amusing was it that, a few days afterward, lie went down to the train and deliberately lay down in front of the locomotive, unseen by the engineer, for ’lie purpose of repeating the episode, and again succeeded in escaping without injury. But his singular predilections A' ere discovered, and he has since been forbidden the track by the maternal au :hority,and has had his freedom curtailod u a manner that must prove very irk nine to his adventurous disposition.
