A new way of aclrertising has ap' peared in Paris. Latlies along the bouluvarda are surprised to sae a mag¬ nificently dressed man walk np to tbem, maka a profound bow, and de¬ part withont saying a word. The myaterioua oaralier wears a wig with a bald spot on top. on wbicb ia painted in big, black letters an adrertiaitig an¬ nouncement of some kind.
Berlin has made great stira in the Enropean world, and yet, compared with otber capitals, it occnpies the amallest site and shows the moat crowd¬ ing. As to tbe number of hnnaen, (or instance, London bas 6011,000; Ornater New York. 167,000; Paris, 105,000; Berlin, 23,907, and the area covered is 3042 hectares for London, 19.')3 for New York, 967 for Paris, 550 for Ber¬ lin.
Acco.rding to tbe Census BiireauHl' Agiuea, there are now in the United States 4557 women physicians, with¬ out counting 337 women dentists and 2 women reteiiBary surgeons. There are 2725 literary and scientific women, 1143 women clergymen, 308 women lawyers, 47 women engineers and flre¬ men, 19 women hunters, gnides and scouts, 28 women sextons, 279 women watchmen and detectives, 2 women auctioneers, 610 women bankers and brokers, 611 women commercial trar¬ elera, 234 women draymen, hackinen and teamsters, 22 women hostlers, 2909 women errand and office boys, 17 women sailors, 83 women undertakers, 117 women liutoUers, 189 women car¬ penters, 48 women coopers. 89 women gunsmiths, 130 women machinists, 58 women marble cuttera, 40 women masons. 44 women plumbers, 1 woman well-borer, and 1 woman pilot.
Tbere are only two places in the world where man are scarce. In the Shaker communities of this oonntry tbe men are gradually dying ont, and the "families," as they are called, are largely made up of females. And Easter laland, a detached spot in the Paoifio, only thirty miles in circum¬ ference, ia described as an Adamless Eden where men are acarce and women plentiful. In May last the bark No- nantum, wbich had a cargo of coal for Panama, was wrecked off this island and the orew landed in safety, Imt in¬ formation has reached tlio Htate De¬ partment m Washington that the cuu- ditions of the island are auoh as to promise a happy and prosperuiis ca¬ reer to those men who wiah to inarry and settle down. It ia not very long ago tbat a gray-bearded old man and a orew of young men intercepted a ahip off Easter Island and invited ita aail- ors to oaat in their lot on tbia inter¬ esting island, whicii haa been cele¬ brated for Cyclopean maaoury wliioli has heen regarded as a relic uf a sub- merge.1 continent.

Mr. Roliertson told me the story ol Cornell University and the invealniunta in Wisconsin pineries, writes a corre¬ spondent nf tbe Chicago Times-Herald. In 1863-6:1 the Federal Uoveriiiiient appropriated unsold pnblio lamls for the use of agricultural colleges in the proportion of 30,0<MI acrea for each Congreasman. Much of the scrip waa aoon frittered away by most of the Slates at lesa than sixty cents an acre. Tha territory apportioned to New York State amounted to 90,(XI0 acres, aud the Legislature of tbat State jumped at tbe proposition wben Mr. Cornel offered lo buy the lands then available at Uie highest market price, sixty etntt an aore. Tbe bulk of this estate was in the pine forests uf Wiacotisin, and bas been so judiciously managed that tbo pro|>erly is now said tn yield some I thing like a thousand dullars a day. i Curnell University has already re I ceived from the sale of timber aud re j ¦al* of certain lands between fonr and flve millions of dollara, and still |Mia. seaaea $150,1X10 of most valuable prop¬ erty.       ___^^___^^___
Tbe rupee is coined as freely in In dia to-day as it was befure the Obivern ment closed the mints. When the mints were u|>en, more rupees were ouined by private oiners than by the Government. The savings of the na¬ tives are made into silver bracelets, rings and utber ornaments. Wlieu il became necessary for them to turn s |>art of their resources into money, ttley did it by employing a nalive ooiner l« turn Ihe melal into rupees.

A bird riMiiig fnuu tlie sear buft'alo grass wheeled a wide urliil up and up, and mit uf .siilil. In une vaat curve Uud had ilrawn the luiKhty sweep of the rarrearliiiig liiiri/.un, and had arched abuve it the limitleHs vault of aziire.
It BBS a liiiR'ly laud uf vague dis¬ tance, unliriikeu silence, oppressive stagnation. The one suiuid was thu faint B'himper'of thc wind among the grasses, whuse bending blades gave the one sign of mulion. Over ull this wide desolatiun the suu wus scorching relentlessly, when a yuung girl came riding sluwly duwu the dusiy trail.
No feature of the laiidseope im¬ pressed her; it was tuu familiar. Nur did the heat seem intense; she touk it as a matter of course that the uir should be sweltering iu .July, and she sat calmly upright, singing joyously aa she went an uld hymu that Uer mother loved:
"Huw llrm   a  foumlallon, yo Bniut.i ot the Lord."
Where ber trail joined that which led to Hatninerville, she met uld IJaddy Dolan. The eticuiinter waa nu sur¬ prise, for they had seen each utlier us mere dots in the distance. Their greetings were vury curdial, fur cuiu- panionsbip is must appreciated in widely scattered cuinmiiiiities.
"'Pears like yer mighty pert tu- day," chirped old Daddy.
"Pert is no name fur it," laughed back the girl. "Why, Daddy, I'm eighteen t«-doy, and I'moii my way to take up a homestead.'
"Well, well!" ho drawlod, smiling dowu into the girl's glad fuce. "You don't look inore'ii fifteen. An' what do yuu want a humesteod fer?"
"Oh. I ain't getting it for myself, really. It's fur father. He clerks down lit Cusgrove. Of cuurse ho couldn't throw uwuy his juli to come out and get one fur himself."
"Does yor dad kuuw abuut yer tak¬ ing this claim?" bruke in thu eager listener.
"He know?"she answered, happily. "Of course not. That's the boBt of il. He'd never dream I was well enough. I was sick last winter, yuu see. nnd su they sent me out tu Aunt Mirnnily's claim to get better."
"Dues yer dad Uke farming?" ijuer- ied the old man.
"Oh, ho just lungs tu got liack,"an- Bwerod the girl, "but he uever cuuld get muney enuugh ahead. He has wurked hurd, tuu; but we children cust su much. Once there were Hve be¬ sidea me, bnt they tuuk aick one ufter unuther and died. That's e.xpensive. Clerking at Cuagiuve duesii't make a priueely living. Father is ns piilieiit as he cau lie, but he can't clirk for¬ ever. Nuw yuu see why I'm tukiiig u homeBtcad."
"But you'll have to live on it, Bess," worried tbe old man, "an' that ain't an easy juli."
"Nunseiise," she uimwercl, .'.iii- temptuonsly, "lliat's nuthing! He tween mo and yuu, JIaildy, llie cliiiiu next to Aunt Miraudy's hasn't lieu taken. Aunt had it La iniml wlieti she built her house right uu the line. I'm going to put a Icaii-tu uguinst her house, bill Ull my uuu land. We w ill livo together, duu't yuu see':' Isu't il jolly?"
"Well, that aiu't Sll liail," uilmitted Daddy, with relief
They went tutlie land office tugi ther. The agent luuked up with u smile ns they entered. "Dailily, yuu wretch, what makes you always bring sucli weather?" ho jeered, ulTectiunulely. Then he turned tu the girl. "Du yuu want a huuiestead. Miss liessie? "
"Ynu guessed itl" she onswered, jnyuusly. "lui eighteen tu-duy, sn.l I want tho claim ue.xt east of Annt Mirandy's."
The agent's face fell. "It's too had, Miss Bessie," he said, regret lully. "lull that claim was taken yes. lerday. '
"Who took it?" she asked, lirealh- lessly.
".K boy named Watsun. He came uf age jnst une day ahea.l uf yuu."
"I thuught —il was mine. ' she fal¬ tered, turning white. "1 — I wauled it su--l.ail!"
The agent liHiked at Du.I.Iy uueusily
"Duu't cry, sissy! ' said the ..I.l man. thumping her kin.llv. bi^t luavi¬ ly. un the back. "1 r..c"ki.ii we kin find ye sumething better. There. there, now !"
"But then I can't live wilh .Vnnl Mirandy."
'•t)h, hush nuw! ¦ purred uM Du.l.lv "What j'.iu want is a free farm fer yer da<l. Vou uinl afeard tu live alone uut here; there's always guu.l neigh iKira."
The girl Bwalluwed a lump in her thruat. and smileil dismally at her comforter, while the agent hitnled carefully thruugh the  reour.ls
"I've g»it it'" he auimuiice.l. cheer¬ fully. "Next east uf the .me y..u wanted! Vuu a ill be near y.'iiir auut. and if yuu » ant anvlhing sudden, .vou can run up a signal."
"Thank yun," au^w.-re.! the girl bravely. "I ..nly wish I ha.In't set my heart un Ihe ulher. I guess ym ha.1 l>etter make ..ul  the papers
"That's grit!" sighed .1.1 Daddy, with relief. "When ye I'ttUt get lirst pick. !.« thankful   fur   secun.l ch.iice"
"Miss Bessie is lucky t<. get any thing." liroke tn lite aceut. "There ia talk of a railrua,! rnuniuii thr.iUiih her part i.f the omutry, au.l laud is guing like h.'l .-akes. '
"Well. I am thankful." answered Beaste. "and I am real grateful to buth uf yon fur yuur kiulnesj " She smiled l«ck niiuu them as she left with aneh a bright face that lH>th felt satisfied. Still, she was sluw to get over her disap|viuntuent.
"I can't help it, .taut Miraady." ahe aaid. munths afterward. "I feel raal o^y tuward that Wataod U.y It jaat laami to aa* as ii k« kad jampad
"I knmv how- yuu feel," answered the aunt, wearily, "und it uiii't Chris¬ tian. He didn't guto do yuu any tin- kindness. I was surry, that yuu got mad because he huilt so cluse tu us. Prulialily he hadn't been frum home before und was luiiesuiiie."
"He needn't have left hume at all if he diilii't want to." retuited Bessie, luuking away from her aunt out through the tiny window at her neigh- bur's claim. What she suw was not comforting. .Tnliii Watsun was tun priis|iei-uiis. Iiisteul uf u .sud hut, he hod ucttiully luiill une uf liimlier.
Hhe uiiderstiiiid. further, that he had secured a chance tu teach fur six munths u schuul beyund Haiiimcrville. Suun he coulil lie paying uu his hniiie- steail, while she must wuit tbruugh lung years  fur her title.
Aunt Miruiidtt niiticed the girl's discunteuted face, and luuke the si¬ lence. "I dun't believe yuu deserve it, Bessie," she said, ipiietly. "but I'm guiiig to muve acruss and live with yuu in yuur new hume tn-iiiur- ruw."
"VuuV" gnspeil the girL "But you can't, auntie? It won't bo sofe tu leave yuur own liumesteoil."
"Vuu see, dear," she answered sluwly tu her impatient niece, "this ain't a claim any mure. I proved up last full!"
"O .\iint Mirandy, yon never told mel"
"No. I wanted you tu act fur ynur¬ self. I thuught it would make yuu more womanly. I iimst say yuu hove been real brave about the wurk and liviiig almio."
"It's tuu guild to be true," said Bessie, tremuluUHly. "If—if I hud only knutvii, 1 wuuldu't huve hated that horrid Watson buy ipiite su bad. I coiildn't hear tu leuve yuu, auntie."
The next day "that hnrrid Wutsuu lioy"caiueuver uud helped tliein muve. Ho wos very ipiiet nnd uliligiiig, und uever seemed tu nutice Bessie's cuul- ness. .\iint Miranda wus gracious enuugh fnr liuth. When he was ubuut to leuve, she thonked hint profusely for his kindness.
"Oh, that's nothing," he aiiswerod, goud-nuturodly. "Youcan keepon eyo on my claim while I'm gone. I start fur my schuul tu-uiuri-uw', aud if I am absent a duy or so more than tho six mouths allowed by law, you keep off the jumpers."
They parted in good fellow-ship, laughing at the idea of "jumpers." It .seemed absurd then that any une would think uf taking his huniestcnd they were iii such nn uut-uf-tho-wiiy place. Htraiigers were scarce, and farther on hiiid wos still plentiful.
During the next six munths, buw¬ ever, the gruw'ing rumor of tho rail¬ road attracted people tn the vicinity. The last claim in the neighburhoud was taken. Now and then '.he twu lonely wumen heard nf distant claims thut wero being jumped.
"I du wish lu the laud's snke tbnt •lolin Watsun wuuld cuuie hume," cmii- pluined Aunt Miranda. "His six muuths was up yesterday, and I'm getting  uwfiil uiiiiuus."
"Ho will look out for himself," re¬ torted Hessio. "He never lusl u min¬ ute after he como uf age tu get that liuinesteod."
"Heems tn mo yun're awful unjust, Bessie. (!un't you forgivo him for be¬ ing succeasfiil? It licuts all how you con huld agruilge fur nothing. Seems like ynu uughl tu iinderslniid him liet¬ ter whl'll yuu know Hint he is working fur his iiiiitlu'r."
Her vuice died uut wearily. Hhe luuked uiri.ss the prairie Ihut lay, blank ami llf.dess, un.ler the mnrning sunshiue. .\ wistful luuk cume iiilu her eves os her glance rested un llie Iwn little houses huddled su cliisely lugelher ill their desertiun sn.l ilesu luli.HI. I'ur iiiiinllis their unly visilnrs had been sii.iw. ruin and wiml. Sume- tlilies thi'ir pudluckB bniigcl ull night lung. BB if till) huuses had fuuiid li.ys whicii tluy ci.uM rattle tliruiigh the luug winter hnurs uf darkuess uud up pease their lunetiiiess.
"Jes' Innk ut Ihem twu houses!" ex. cloimed Aunt Miranda, at lust. '"Pears like they ciul.In't get ul.iiig witl'.oiit each other, nn wuy. An'sup pose they acted as uniieighlmrly as ynu doiu .luhn Watsnu? It's o shame, liessie, and yuu have lii.tli got tu live here side by side y.'ur in und year ..ut."
"If y.m hove linished yuur seriiinii," the girl uiisnered, crussly, "1 gii.'ss I'll gn iliiwu to Hoiumerville fur the mail."
An buiir later she was sluwly jug¬ ging diiwii the trail, aa she ha.l .lnne u year befiirc. Nullitiiu had altere.l iii the changeless luuilscupe. Even tin- mniid llf the former time came hack again. Before she realized it Bessie was singing;

.Vfter a m.imenl's cnusideratiun. she inounled her hurse and rude acruss the prairie at such a hea,11,ing gait that those whu saw watched her with real ixinceru.ian.l prophesied a suiistruke .V-. if s..m.' fate were playing a game ni ...inci.lence, she met ul.l DB.l.|y again wh.re their trails juiii<.d

The guild aunt gasped aa the door jarred shut behind her niece. "Well, that beats nil! Ole Mis' Situ|isrn must be sick again. Bessie's gut a gnnd heart, an awful good heart—except tuward that Watson Imy." .\unt Sli- randu slinuk her head Badly, and went back to her backing.
.\n hour loter, in passing the w-in- dow, she stopped to glance at the two companionable huuses. Her glance became a stare uf amazement. She cuilldu't believe her eyes. She put uu her eyeglaaBes and looked again. Yes, aomebody hnd moved intu John Watsun's huuse! Smuke come uut of the chimney, and u lung ruw uf family washing was already hnngingun the line. Befure tho duur stuud two leau hurses, still hitciied tu the strangers' emigrant wagun.
"Oh dear' ub dear!" wailed Auut Miratidu. "His claim is jumped, and I ciu't du anything!" She sat down, limp nnd lifeless, und began to cry. "I coulil stand it better if Bessie waa hume! " miianed the puur wuniuii.
Hut Hessie had mure iiii|>ortant wurk than cmnbirting .\unt Miranda. Wheu she climbed into John Wotsun's thruURli a wimbiw, she tuok a brief survey. "I've gut^ make 'em think sume une is living here."sbe Hi.night, rapidly. "I uuiulerwhat would seem must iiutiirol? "
She huslilv built o tire, and theu t<iiik every clnlli thut she cnul.l liml uu.l hung it ull Ihe line, fnr il was waah.luy, Muii.liiy. When she adile.I her uwn oprun nnd sunlinnnet, tu give the line a dumestic air, she alluued herself une brief moment to grill ot the display.
Hho had almost linished dusting when sho tirst caught sight of the einigraiit wa^;uii. She knew her huur had cume, ami drew u lung breath. Then she watched, and it seemed hlllirs before tho wagun reached the huiiHe.
.K fruw'sy, hrntish-luoking man thrust his 'hea.l beyniul the wogon cover. "Is that Wtttsnii's place?" ho griiwled, wilh u jerk uf his tUutnli toward Aunt Mirnndo's deserted sod house.
"Oh, no," answered Bessie, with a lump in her thruat, "that belungH to Miss King."
"King? " he snarled. "They told mo dowu tu Hammerville that the empty une belnnged tu Wutaim. 1 guess yuii're u-lyiiig tu perlect him. We are guing lo move in, any way."
"All right," answered Bessie, try¬ ing to hide her relief.
"Thought they said hia honso was frame," siiupped the woman.
The muu luuke.l frum uno honso to tho uther. "They did Hay bu," he snarled buck, "bnt you can seo fur yuurHcIf!"
