The law of growth for each decade is here
supposed to be about so per cent. up to the
year 1900; at which time according to this
calculation. we shall have population Of ons
hundred millions But 20 law cf growth can
be deduced from any known data which viii
hold good for third Of n century. Besides.
fixed per cent, based on an increased aggre-
gate every ten years, supposes continued
increase in the ratio of growth. But unless
long and devasting wars should intervene.
there is strong probability that in the year
1900 the country will have attained a popn-
lation OF seventy-five millions. Many of the
young men among US viii live to verify these
estimates, or to show how much they Geviated
from the facts.

PoTAro SUGAR.-At recent meeting os
the Lyceuin of Natural History, New York.
specimens of syrup and of sugar made from
potatoes were exhibited. 1t was asserted that
that syrap and sugar can be made, at a cost
from the refuse of potatoes, after undergoing
distillation to obtain spirits. Potato syrnn,
it is reported, is used extensively by confec-
TONERS. and that the sugar has been Intro
duced into the manufacture Of lager beer.
A factory. 1t is stated. has recently hee1 es-
tablished IN Brooklyn. and potatn sugar is
produced in large quantities.

How THE DEVIL WAS CAUGHT-A rood MANY
anecdotes have appeared in the papers of late
of the hard-sbell Baptists, and we have given
place to some Of them, not because of any
want Of respect for the denomination, but for
the humor contained in them. As an evidence
of our disposition to deal with all alike, we
give the following, picked up few days ago:
. Parson Lsrkin, worthy but sedate old di.
vine of the Methodist Church, met in the rocd
Joe Finks, q neighbor, who had neither the
fear OF God, bis Satanic Majesty, OF any other
being before his eyes, aud whose love of fun
was only equaled by an unfortunate impedi-
ment IN his speech. VIZ, suffering:
=" Good morning, Mr.. Fincks," said the
person, as they met and reined up their
horses.
good morning p-p-p-parson," re-
piled Joe.
Amy news" quoth the parson.
"N-n-n-news? w-w-w-wby hain't you h-h-h-
heard it?n
"No; what is it?"
W-w-w-w-why they c-c-c-caught the devil
in our neighbor-h-h-h-hood last night"
E" You don't say SOL Howl"
R-r-r-run him into a w-w-w-well."
"Ah How was he got out?"
"F-fEfshed OUT"
" How?"
" T-t-t-took b-b-b-big hook and ll-l-line
and BIB b-b-baiteditwitb P-p-p-presbyterian."
"Did that catch him 20
+" N-n-n-no--the d-d'd-devil only smelt of
him El-l-little, but w-w-w-would not bite.'
'Then how?"
"B-b-b-baited him with B-b-b-baptist."
"Did they catch him with the Baptist" "
"N-n-n-no-he n-n-nibbled at him and WV
wouldn't take hold"
"What did they try next? ~
"T-t-tried a M-m-methodist. and the d-d-
devil g-e-e-graLbed him Hike a t-t-trout
would q m-mm- minner."
"That'll do. Mr.. Finks. Mind the devil
don't catch you," said the parson, BY way of
-admonition. as he rode of.
"N-n-n-no d-d-danger." replied Joe. II a

A SMART GIRL.-A pleasant story is told
of young lady who in 1862 was student in
the Normal University of Illinois. She was
good-natured. quiet girl, tolernble scboleT
except in the matter of composition. utter
failure in which branch prevented her pass
ing an examination. Five years were devoted
to the effort, when her father. who resided IN
Bloomington. died. leaving small business
in the furniture line, an invalid wife and
three small children to her care and support.
Irstead of selling off the stock and living on
the nroceeds until something should turn up,
this c;rl who had failed at school went her
self into the shop, sold off the furniture at
retail. and when the stock ran low, astonished
her friends By going to New York and buying
q larger and better lot of furniture than was
ever before seen in Bloomington and. what
"a more. she sold it. For seven years she has
conducted the business, and to-day she owns
a store worth SIS. 900, III the upper stories of
which she began her lahors. and other real
estate acgrecatine $4,000. besides paid-up
stock worth 500, 600 more. A smart girl,
certainly, even if she did fall in one branch
of study.

Our Cn1LDREN.-How can we give our
children sound bodies? There is not much
need to ask this question about our boys.
The costumers of society allow them free use
of their limbs. ample exercise in the open mir,
and suitable clothing. Girls who live on
farms, and who are reared in the country,
have all these also.
The farmers daughter makes hasty toll
ct runs to the barn, climbs over the scafolds
filled with fragrant hay, to find the fresb-laid
eggs then to the chicken coop, where ''the
dear downy darliugs" wait for the food her
handy fingers have prepared then she drives
the cows to pasture, while the last star fades
out of the sky, which gows with the rosy
morning. She is ready for her breakfast.
with an appetite which needs no ccaxing, and
which a Queen might envy. Her share in
the morning work being over, she is out and
away, over fences, up among the branches of
the trees to see whether the four blue eggs of
the old robin have become baby robins. She
krows the note of every bird. ard the color
of its eggs she knows the hole of the wood
chuck, the house of the musSrat. aud the nest
Of the squirrel, the hatching of the tadpole,
aud his wonderful transformation into frog.
She dabbles her small bare toes in the brook
where the minnows play, and may be. breaks,
her childish heart. when she first learns that
the silvery fish will die when taken out of the
water. Her lessons in natural history are
taken from the great Master.
In the summer she spreads the hay bv the
side of her father, and in the autumn gathers
the apples and nuts. So her days go on.
with books and work, and healthful play"
Grown TO a woman, she is strong to take up
her duties, and when three score years are
gone she is still fresh and rosy. with capaci-
ty for many years of worthy work.
The girls in the city cannot get this simple
healthful natural life, but if they were warm
ly dressed over the arms and shoulders, and
so simply as to allow the largest freedom for
the widest sport; il warm legeings covered
the thin stockings if substantial b1ots with
square heels, could take the place of those
row commonly worn, with heels so high and
narrow that they furnish no adequate sup
port to the small ankle, which bends in and
out till actual deformity results. it would go
q great way toward supplying healthy condi-
tions to those whose city LIFE excludes them
from the natural, health-giving influence of
the country.-Lucy Stone in Romans Jour-
nal.

IN SCHOOL.DAYS.
BY. G. WHITTIER.

Still sits the school house by the road,
ragged heggar summing:
Around il still the sumachs grow.
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep-scarred by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack knlie's cary ed initial
The charcoal frescoes on its wsil
Its doors worn sill betrayins
The feet that, creeping slow TO school.
Went storming out TO playing
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over il at setting
Lit up its western window -panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of grievipg,
Ofone who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered -
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes he felt
The soft hands light caressing.
And heard the tremble of her voice,
As is a fault confessing.
''I'm sorry that spelt the word
l hate to go above you,
Because, the brown eyes lower fell
because, you sec, love youp
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl. the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, in life's hard school,
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her-because they love him.
