It is stated that there are 100 Frank-
forters worth from $4,000,000
to $5,000,000 each, and 250 who are
worth $1,000,000 and upward. The
city is one of the greatest banking cen
ters of the globe. The aggregate bank
ing capital is estimated at $200,000,000,
more than one-fourth of which the
famous Rothschilds, whose original and
parent house is there, own and control.
The annual transactions in bills of
exchange are in excess of $1,000,000,000.

bers are the busiest people in the
country, with their caucuses, their in

speeches and preparation, their dense
correspondence with constituents, and-
interviews with x'isitors. The House
too, turns out n vast amount of work
its committees being efficient agencies
for transacting business. Every day
find in the document-room a fresh

would bo furnished by that stratum of
flaming coal. Tho solar heat would
also be capable of melting in one second

,5‘JO square miles at its base, aud
102,000 miles high.
Lastly, it is curious to inquire how
much this gigantic body weighs. It is
a good weight: 2,154,100,580,000,000,-
000,000,000,000 tons! The mind cannot
grasp the enormity of these figures.
If this globe were in tho present day,
os in that of Apollo, drawn by four
horses, it would bo necessary that the
oursers had exceptional strength, espe
cially to go round the globe in twenty-
four hours. Now, following the sun's
weight, that of our earth, expressed,
like tho preceding, in tons, is (>,009,-

with which they determine the weight j
of the stars, it is necessary for them to j
put in the other one 350,000 terrestrial j
globes to restore equilibrium.
Wo need not fear, therefore, that this
gigantic body will one day be extin
guished, leaving tho earth in icy dark

aud the people do not do wisely to
sneer at their own ^exposed deformity,

The Chicago,‘Milwaukee and St. Paul

the entertainment which the visitors
witnessed yesterday afternoon. The
field selected contains at least forty
acres, and not less than forty huge
stumps dotted its surface. Holes were
drilled in the roots of these, on a level
with the ground, into which cartridges
were inserted and connected with a bat
tery by means of wires. The work of
the explosion was entirely satisfactory,
every stump being blownjto atoms. Pieces
flew upward 200 or 300 feet and were
picked np several hundred feet away.
Cold Feet.
The connection between tho head
aud feet is well known. A hot head is
ordinarily relieved bv a hot foot-bath, i iiuUor-^Ore.mory r.itra
,, , , ,' ii.' iii , • Clioc.c—Ncu Viirk 1'u'l Or,'nn 1:1)44
So cold feet tend to congest the brain— iviroi.ui.i—Crndo nii^ ani^ «>(in.i
and other internal organs.
\Vo have kuown persons so accus
tomed to cold feet as to make no effort ;
to warm them. In such cases there is ,
either an imperfect digestion, or a fee
ble action of the heart, or a low physical
state somewhere.
The whole system of 6ueli persons
needs to be invigorated by careful exer
cise in the open air, by a generous diet,
by thorough friction of the skin, nnd
perhaps by a brief use of medicines
helping the stomach nnd quickening
the liver.
Sometimes cold feet come from over
action of the brain. In such a case the
person must use his brain less and his
legs more, not by “ spurts,” but habitu
ally. He should take at least two solid
hours from his study, his sanctum, or
his counting-room, and put them into
such exercise as will send the blood at
each heart-beat warm and strong to the
tips of his toes; and that, too, without
any violent exertion.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
tight-lacing or tight-fitting shoes. But
it is as much a suicidal act to hasten
death by compressing the lungs or the
feet as by compressing the neck with a
rope. The God of physiology is the
final judge.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
thin shoes—the owners of which must
be left to die as the fool dieth. Some
times they come from carelessness in the
matter of overshoes and wet feet, a
carelessness for which, in the case of w— «s*s „
children, mothers are largely respon-! (J-?-, T ■ H ’ > r JP rj R H S;! N F 5\ .9
sible. It is the duty of the latter to
train their girls to right habits based on
right ideas, inculcated from early
childhood.
If the rising generation will keep
their feet warm, there will be a marked : kudeSF 1 °SJ£?LTH > FOoj»*co:! au or
