The Center of Our Population. The center of population is the cen ter of gravity of the inhabitants of the country. If the United States were considered as a plane, with all its peo ple as of equal weight, the center of population would be the* point where the whole plane might be balanced and remain steady through equili brium. It expresses the net resultant of the movements of population from decade to decade. This point, accord ing to the census of 1890, is located at 39 degrees 11.9 minutes north latitude and 85 degrees 32.9 minutes west longitude, about twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind. It moves westward about four miles a year.—Ladies’ Home Journal. A Definition. A woman was being examined at the Old Bailey as a witness, when, to question put by the barrister, Mr. C --, she replied: “Don t think to humbug me.” “Answer the question directly, wo man, or I’ll commit you,” interrupted the recorder. “Aye,” said Mr. C--, ^ and tell us what you mean by humbug.” “Why,” replied the woman, “if I was to tell you, Mr. C-.^--, that the recorder was a gentleman, that would be'humbugging you, and the court, too.—-English Exchange.

A common error is that Orientals in habit lands of eternal summer' afcd dress the year through in flowing silks apd wondrous muslins. Many of them do enjoy this kind of existence Those for he example, in southern China a^d on great plain of Hindustan, but at least a hundred millions live in a ter ritory as cold as this city, and at least ft> millions in a land w’hose condi tions are similar to those of Canada. enturles of civilization have taught them numberless expedients for secur -ng comfort and pleasure, in spite of the snow and ice which surround them in the winter season. Many of these are known and utilized by the western w °rld, but the most are unknown, or, if known. are viewed as freaks °r laughable oddities . Thus, for example, the Japanese and northern Chinese empl.y what are known as pocket stoves These con sist of shells of metal in iron, brass bronze, silver, and for the very wealthy gold. Charcoal or perfumed charcoal is put into the shell and ig nited. The shell itself it inserted in a special belt or cloth, and worn about the waist, or is fastened to the inside of a woman’s skirt. A cold individual may wear as many as a half dozen of these little stoves, while a warm blooded person is satisfied with one. There are beautiful little foot warmers, which can be taken into bed, and in which a slowly smoldering fire safely secured inside of a metal box, emits warmth the night long, and makes the coldest bed as delightful as a hammock in summer weather. Then there are portable stoves, which burn perfumed charcoal and can be carried from room to room. There are pa jamas which are lined with fiy; kimo nos, whose interior is as soft as fleece or the silkiest goat h.».ir; cloaks and peignoirs, which are really fur° W HU the warm side in.

A Millionaire’s Cenerosity. Wilber Scott Stratton, the newly made millionaire king, came to the re ^ef of H. A. W. 1 abor, a former L nited States senator, and Colorado’s first millionaire miner, last week with a purse of $15,000, which he begged Ta b or to accept as a testimonial for what he had done to develop the resources of the State. For many month, Tabor has been 0 n the ragged edge of fortune, and has tried to recoup himself by entering the prospecting field. He staked a promis ins mining claim, but could not get funds for developing it. Then he thought of Stratton and applied to him for a loan. Stratton had never before seen Ta bor, but was familiar with his history. He promised to take the matter under advisement, and five minutes later sent a package containing the currency, with a letter requesting Tabor to ac cept the money as a gift.—New York Herald. Excavations at Pompeii. Formerly excavations in Pompeii were made solely with a view to the discovery of art and archaeological treasures, no effort being made to pre serve the houses. The present method is very different, and one of the latest excavations is a house in which all the interior arrangements, furniture, wall decoration, etc., have been pre served or restored.

GIBSON VINDICATED. North Georgia Conference "Paun" ill* Character Without Trial. There larks an interesting story be hind the arrest of the character of Rev. J. T. Gibson by Rev. C. C.

Gibson is accused of having commit ted occurred in Rome three or four years ago ween he was pastor of one of the Methodist churches of that city. It developed that the reports were ab solutely false. The mntter has been much talked about ever since, and Rev. Carey, it is said, has been largely responsible for ho circulation of the reports. Rev. Gibson has been very much worried on this account and finally determined that he would make Rev. Carey prove his statements. He then went to Rev. Carey, so it is said, and obtained a written statement from him to the effect he bad never circulated any such rumors. It is further stated that Rev. Gibson has in his possession certain affidavits from responsible parties who Bwear Rev. Carey did make such statements to them concerning Rev. Gibson’s char acter.
