GROWTH or EEw-YoRK--CAPAcTrY OF MAN
HATTAs IsLASD.-A remarkable verifcation Of theory
has attended the predictions of the Hon. John A. Dix,
made as long ago 1897 in relation to the growth OF
tie populate Of this city. Taking the basis Of his
estimate the average rate of increase from the year
1870 to the year 1926 be found the ssme to be 5s per
cent Per sbnun, according to which the population
would double in less than seventeen years He there
fore predicted that the population in 1912 would be
"above 800 600 SOULS in the year 1882 above
100000 and in 1876, than ,2V, 09O" In 1910,
two years before the time he assigns, gave
3l3 900 inhabitants. by close approximation. the
number in S42 was found be over 1886 0OO II ia now
very far above his estimate for 1885, From 1870 to
1870, we have a census every ten years, and from
1890 TO I8i5 every five years

Club On Monday, March 5. Itis ore Of the most i'm
portant questions that farmeFs can think Of and talk
about at this season just beoIe the commencement OF

this one fact: With different .srmers the variation IN
quantity Of seed potatoes ranges from eight to twenty
bushels PSF acre. Let ii be demonstrated that this
twelve hlsbels can be Just well saved as wasted,
al d zee what an immense bulk Of potatoes would be
saved to cheaper food fer man. or add to the comfort

kinds of seed One man viii insist that four peeks OF
Data IL enough for asfe, aad another viii SOW four
busb,s. Who ia right Does one waste seed or
does the other lose twice ths value in the crop OF tue

apce O. cutivators of the earth and that we shall ge.
some light upon this important question. The Cius

Fast Life.


A "fast'' life cannot be lived with i'm
punity. In this field of waste and dis
order, as in every other, Gods violated
law, however it may be forgotten, never
fails to assert and vindicate itself
''The vicious die early" They fade
like shadows, or tumble like wrecks and
ruins into the grave-often when quite
young, almost always before forty
"Bloody men," says the psalmist, "shall
not live out half their days" and the re-
mark is equally true of "fast" men,
They live unsteady; spend their twelve
hours in six; turn night into day; and in
c@rousing or dissipation time that should
be used for rest, and in their rush in the
chase of pleasure get out of sight and
into darkness, while others are in the
glow and glory of life. Many a man,
and many a woman, too, dies thus, long
before their time. They keep up such
constant steam that the boiler is con-
sumed or explodes. The machinery is
destroyed by rockies speed and its in
eritable wear and tear.

Remarkable Cure of Lockjaw.

N. Y. Observer says: A young lady
ran rusty nail into her foot recently.
The injury produced lockjaw ofsuch ma
lignant character that her physicians
pronounced her hopeless. An old nurse
took her in hand, and applied pounded
beets to her foot, removing them as often
as they became dry. The result was a
most complete and astonishing cure
Such simple remedy should be born
in mind.
