Ilrro is a man who lias taken the
trouble to calculate how much land it
would take to bury the population of
tho world for 0,000 years or 100,000
years. He finds that the former could
lie buried in half of Texas and the lat
ter in the territory east of the Missis
sippi river.
In 0,000 years you have sixty con
turies. In each century you mnv
count throe generations of mankind,
or 180 generations in all, each bein'? a
generation of 1.500,000,000. Now lay
out a cemetery for one generation. It
will bo a huge estimate to give to
every mnn, woman and child a grave
Hvo feet by two, or ten square feet. A
square nnh* e mi tains something less
than 28,000,000 square feet. You
want, then, a graveyard not 55 miles
long by 10 wide for your whole gen

'DON’T SCROUGE.”
A Terrible and Eventful Itldo on n Iloat
ffiitilcd by B Hugo Cat Flail.
The Ananias club welcomed Patrol
man Brady back from New Orleans as
lie walked into tho clubroom the other
night.
“New Orleans is a right smart place,

visited New Orleans about seventy
years ago. I was only 30 years old
then, but I remember everything re
lating to my trip with great distinct- tu
nccs. Wo didn’t have ai^v mile a min
ute vestibule trains, nor did we have
any smash ups or rotten trestles nor
jumping ofF of tracks on bad curves.
My first trip was made down the river
on a fiat boat culled the‘Duke of Or
leans.’ She was a square bowed flat
bottom craft that was cupublo of great
sliced, but was so confounded lazy that
about three miles an hour was the
best "she would do in a high wind and
fast current. Wc were floating down
you have your burying ground 'or
6,000 years of mankind. That is, a
strip of land 1,800 miles long by 55
strip
miles wide will l>e ample. 1 n other
words, a cemetery containing 100.0(H)
square miles would he sullleient for
tho entire human race to lie side by
side. Tho estimate which I have given
you of the continuous population is
obviously enormously large. The os
(filiate of the size of each grave is very
large. A strictly correct estimate
would reduce the size of tho required
cemetery more than one half. Hut
enormous as it is, you could lay out
vour burial ground for all men who
lmve lived on earth, so that they could
lie side by side, in Arizona or in Culi
fomin, or you could lay it out in Tex
as large enough to accommodate tho
mco of 6,000 years past, and also the
rnco for 0,000 years yot to come, all
sleeping in the soil of that one state of
thm union.
But some one says the nice of Ilian
has Ik'cii on earth HH),0(J0 years. That
isa pure imagination and there is not,
ao far as I know, a fact on which to
rest it. Hut sup|H)so it is true, ami the
population always what it now is.
You have provided for 0,000 years of
it You want nearly seventeen times
ns large a cemetery for the genenilions
of a thousand centuries. That is, you
want 1,700,000 squares miles in it. Lay
it out whenever you please, 1,?0U miles
long by 1,700. miles wide. It is but a
part of the United States. And so
enormously large have been the rough
estimates thus fur used, it is safe to say
that if the human race has been in ex
istence 100,000 years, a separate grave
could bo provided for every individ
ual of tho race within a part of the
United Stales oust of tho Mississippi
river."
Estimating that a large man can
stand on two square feet, and the av
erage standing room of a crowd of
men, women and children isono and
a half square foot, ho calculates that
18.000,000 people can stand on a square
mile. According to this tho popula
tion of (ho world could stand on 64
square miles.
Then ho makes this
tiou:
"Curry your arithmetic still further.
You lniil out a cemetery for the 1,500,-
000,000 of mankind now living.
Build n citv for them to dwell in. Av
erage families at live persons to a fam
ily. and give each family a house and
lot 20 feet by 100. Your cemetery gave
five persons fifty square feet fur graves.
Their city lot is forty times ns large.
Your city lot must therefore ho forty
times as largo us your cemetery. Add
SOpcr cent, for good streets."
On this basis the population of the
world could live in a city 100 miles
wide and 2‘JO miles long, ami have
twice the space per capita now being
occupied liy the majority of people in
our great cities. Dr. Princo in .lour

Wild IlortU‘9 of tho Slrrnt*.
There is said to be a largo band of
wild horses, led by a thoroughbred
known to the stockmen as the “Out
law Stud,” ranging between Truckeo,
Nevada county, and lYavino, Nov.
Years ago the stud, a fine racer, es
caped to the mountains and has since
dgfied capture. By desperate riding
stockmen manage, to get into the hand
and drive out the colts. The horses
range on the highest peaks, beyond
where cattle or sheep often go. They
only go to water once a da\\ and then
in single file down tho mountain trail

at their leisure, feeding by tbe way.—

boat. Suddeilly 1 perceived something
ahead of us directly in tho channel.
“ ‘What's that, .lack )' 1 yelled tonne
f the men for’ard. Without looking
he shouted hack:
\ snug,’ responded Jack. ’Throw
your tiller hard to larboard and you'll
miss it.’ Just then tho supposed snag
disappeared for uu instant and then
bobbed up again a few hundred feet
down the river. 1 was not ratisflod,
and calling one of the hoys to take the
‘sweep’ I went to the bow of the boat.
1 saw at once wliut tho object was. It
was coining directly for tho bout.
Lend us a bund here, hoys,’ I
shouted.
What is the matter, Jim?’ asked
one of the crowd.
“ ‘Catfish,’ was nil 1 said. But that
was enough. The crew, with pule
faces, began buckling on life preserv
ers, for a collision in midstream with

trilling nnuir. I did not propose to
give up our boat so easily, and draw
ing a pistol, fired at tho approaching
monster. 1 saw the bullet strike his

dy wuter. Tho fish was lashing the
water into foam, and its eyes were
fastened with a wicked glare on our
frail craft. There was not much time
to lose. A few momenta and we would
be lost. Then l thought of something.
Tho fish was within fifty feet of our
bout. Snatching tho anchor I hurled
it at tho approaching terror. True to
my aim, the heavy iron struck tho fish
on tho lower jaw. Thinking evidently
that it was something good to eat, the
fish attempted to swallow the anchor,
but the llukes caught in his gullet,
and leaping lmlf way out of the water,
the huge fish turned and started down
stream, (juick as lightning 1 gave tho
anchor rwpo three turns around tho
"sampsoii posts," and us it pulled taut
we begun to move through tho water
with great speed. Tho now frightened'
fish made the most desperate efforts to

side, then to another, down to tho hot

six feet in the air, cavorted the fish
The yellow water was blood streaked
foam from bank to bank, and the
waves rolled up the bank with a wick
ed ‘swish.’ As may well he imagined,
our craft was moving through tho
water in a terrific manner. Sometimes
wo would sail through the uir, two
feet above the bosom of the river, and
again be two feet below the surface.

going so fast through the water that
the friction bail sqt our craft on fire.
Sumo of the men organized a bucket
brigade instauter uiul soon had llio
ilames extinguished, but they wer
kept busy putting out the lire that
was continually starting in diiferent
parts of tho hull. When tho bottom
caught tho firemen hail to bore holes
through the flooring in order to pour
water on tho blaze I Why, gentlemen,
there was such u terrible friction that
the wuter was scalding hot—so hot
that for twenty feet on each.side of the
boat wo could boil eggs and potatoes
by simply throwing them overboard
The suction was so intense that what
ever we threw into tho water would
remain close to the bout and our cook
got dinner that way. Why, he boiled
u ham in the river in exactly seven
minutes. All we had to do was to
threw the stuff in, keep timoon it, and
then haul it out with a long polo. Wo
went past Memphis so fust that the
boiling river furnished steam for all
tho factories in town for over two
hours. 1 think 1 am safe in saying
that wo were towed by that fish for
fully fifteen hours.
“it was the fastest ride I ever took
and 1 have had severe l fast rides in my
time. As I say, we had been dashing
along for about fifteen hours, when
suddenly the anchor rope broke

Our boat had such headway that slio
ran two hundred miles before stop

not fitted up with automatic brakes,
and wc had no way of checking her
speed until tho momentum was ex
haunted. It is a mighty lucky thing
for us that the rope did break. Had ’
not parted we would have been scalded
to death, sure.* The heavy three inch
oak plunks out of which the boat was
built wore worn down to tho thinnest
of tissue paper. Wo were
fast that tho water acted just

A St-wry of tho ltrnvery Exhibited at the
Hut tie of Seven 1*1 lien.
“At the battle of Seven Pines," said
Dr. It., “I was ‘a man under author
ity,’ being deputy sawbones for tbe’
Virginia regiment. I was a short,
stout specimen, and notwithstanding
the cares and responsibilities of my
position and the anti-fat treatment to
which the depicted condition of the
commissariat subjected me, tipped the
am ut 220 pounds, and was good mi
red and jolly, und the boys of the
egiment, many of whom were old ac
quaintances, were irreverent enough
to apply to me all sorts of nicknames.
"The evening before the battle I laid
taken up position somewhat in advance
the army, being unaware of tbe
-oximitv of the enemy and of the
act that a fierce battle was impending.
~ ext morning 1 was intently engaged
making Con fell, coffee out of toast-
crackers, when the army began to
advance. As my regiment passed to
the front, tho boys would pitch knap
sacks, haversacks, Ulunkets. etc., to-
-d me with such expressions ns:
Suy, Taurus, take care of that for me,
old fellow,’ ‘Hull, look out for that,
please,’ ‘Dock, hold on to this for me,
etc., until 1 was fairly environed by
the baggage.
“My preparations for breakfast were
disturbed uy tbe scream of an occa
sional shell as it passed overhead,
causing me to quit my coffee and as
sume a perpendicular. Nevertheless
" stood my ground. Soon, however,
the crack, crack, crack; pop, pop, pop
of small arms showed that the infant
ry wore engaged; and the Millies be
ginning to mark tlic saplings and cut
p tho ground round about, I com
menced a dignified and organized ret
rograde movement in the direction of
large pine tree some 200 or 300 yards
to the rear.
“As 1 advanced backwards, the firing
increased, and also my speed—first a
ot, then ii canter, then a gallop and
naliy—well, tho very best I had in
io shop. The air was filled with mis-
les of all sorts and sizes, mid I was
fairly panicked. But, great Ciusar’s
host! What A sight met my eyes as
approached the tree.
“There were six wurriors sheltered
behind it, arranged according to size.
No. L sat with his back against the
trunk, his legs apart and extended; No.
with his back close up to No. 1, nnd
s:n they were strung out to tho end.
No. 6, a poor, miserable, worm eaten,
attenuated specimen, had imbedded
his heels in tho earth and stuck as close
to No. 5 ns tho bark to a tree; ill fact,
herrings wore nevorpacked closer in a
barrel than were those worthies. With
the glance of genius I took in tho situ
ution, and recognized tho fact that the
authority of might entitled mo to apo
sition next to tho tree.

and without a word, I threw my lej

before life was extilict, proceeded to
give an accountof his sensations oil re
turning to consciousness. lie could
not.have actually been suspended in
miif air more than a few seconds, and
yet in that brief space of time all the
events of his past life passed through
his mind. It is true that bis life up to
that dale had not been a very event
ful one, being only 19 years of age;
but every past sensation was renewed
in all its freshness. It is also remark
able that he did not lit the time expe
rience any sensation of fear; while,
he added, his was an essentially ner
vous temperament. This remarkable
mental power of calling up the past in
moments of suspended animation 1
have heard frequently mentioned.
One was the case of Count Zichy, in
tho revolution of 1848, in Vienna. He
was caught by the savage mob. bung
like Lord Ponsonby in the middle of
the street, when liis own regiment of
dragoons charged down and cut the
cords as he was swinging in the uir.
He fell to the grouud and was suppos
ed to lib dead; but his recovery was a
jry different matter from Ixird Pon-
mby’s, for he suffered agonies, and
for ten days had four men constantly
with him. Ho described exactly the
Hume sensations us Ix>rd Ponsonby;

GRATEFUL-COMFORTING.
How Bmiity l.s Hampered.
The professional beauty is never al
lowed to forget herself or her liigl
calling for an instant; she must
neither laugh nor cry like other wo
.men; she, may love only moderately,
and never grieve at all, lest it cause
wrinkles. She is also counseled l<.
maintain a serene cheerfulness of tern
per, to practice a certain amount ol
self restraint, lest she spoil her com
plexion, and take up some work
which shall interest ancl amuse her, in
order to keep her in good health.—

Kvll of the Pull.
I believe there is nothing that Likes
the heart out of young men more than
this modern Lilk about a pull. If one
gives over to it he begins to neglect
his work in his effort,to get a pull, or
he becomes disheartened because lit
bus no pull, und so gives over trying
to do his best- 1 hear so much of this
Lilk that I wish my voice could reach
those tempted young men. They are
being paralyzed by tbe .pull craze.
They think the modern business world
is a locked door to any fellow without
a'pull.—Harkerin New York Weekly.
False Diagnosis.
The professor is always steeping him

I have lots of fun with bridal
couples who climb the dome. Nearly
every day I go to the other side of the
immense urelied painting, which is a
perfect whisper gallery, and hear them
spooning. When they get loo affec
tionate I turn my back, look up at the
I painting and say: "This is no place
for love making.’” My voice goes over
them in sepulchral tones, and they
take away with them a vivid assurance
of ghostly watchers in the dome.—
Washington Letter.
Mow to Look.
When a lady sitting for a picture
would compose a mouth to a bland
and serene character she should, just
before entering the room, say “bosom,"
and keep the expression into which
the mouth subsides until the desired
effect in the camera is evident. If, on
the other hand, she wishes to assume
a distinguished and somewhat noble
bearing, not suggestive of sweetness,
she Bhould say “brush,” the result ol
which is infallible.—Exchange.

Mercury's Motatlou.
An interesting astronomical discov
ery is announced from Italy. After
ten years of investigation ^cniaparelli
lias found that Mercury, the planet
nearest to the sun, has a reunion like
that of the moon. The planet turns
once on its axis during tlie period of
its revolution round the sun, so that
the same side is always turned toward
the sun.—New York Telegram.

Masks for Protection.
It was Henry IV who introduced
masks, which were used for the pur
pose of protecting the face from the in
fluences of the wind, the sun or the
rain. The custom remains to this day
in the villages of the Riesengebirge
mountains, where the children go
about masked in, the winter to protect
their faces from cold.—Philadelphia
