The Growth of The West

Let us glance at the proportion of
the Yves, ern popu'a alton engaged in in
dustrial pursuits. In 1870 the whole
number of persons in nine Western
States, Ohio being excluded. employed
in manufacturing, was $4,000. In
1850, according to II careful estimate
based on statistics for the past twelve
month. the number OF such persons will
have been augmented to $4,000 In
tue same decade the industrial popula-
ton of the nine Eastern States will, it is
computed have increased from l,2I3, 1000
to l,13i, 900, and that Of thirteen South
ern States, excluding Delaware and
MARYLAND, from 10000 to 25S,000.
According to the data collected by Mr..
Porter, the manufacturing districts OF
tao West are better places for the me-
chanic than the Eastern or the Middle
States From his tabulated statement
OF annual earnings and expenditures we
lean that the total yearly outlay for a
vo hingmlns family i, 500 IN the
East. $ISS in the Middle States. Ssl :
H. the South, and S1lt in the West.
Ca the other hand, the aggregate yearly
income of such household WAS S.Sl III
the Eastern States, $3.50 in the Middle,
$3.50 in the southern. and $945 in the
Western States. 1t follows that while
u workman's family can contrive to save
only SlS yearly in the South, and but
Sll1 in the East, they can economic
Sl9S in the Middle States. and still
more, or 1921, in the States beyond the
Alleghanies 1t is natural that such fig
ures should suggest the inquiry whether
the West is not as promising to the
manufacturer as it is to the agricultur-
list. Certainly, the time has passed when
it COLD be regarded as exclusively de
voted to the production of meat and
grain.

A Royal Founding.

One night in 1901 little girl, about
one year old, was deposited in the drawer
of the founding hospital at Brest. She
was dressed with much fnery, and a
note, attached to her skirts, told that her
name was Solange, and that she would
be reclaimed by her father. The claim
was never made, however, and in due
time the child was transferred to the
orphan asylum, to be educated there
AS she grew up she developed most
extraordinary beauty; but her intellect
appeared to be very weak, and she suf-
fered from frequent nervous fits. When
she was II years old she was sent out
into the streets to sell flowers, and her
beauty and her modesty attracted many
peoples goodwill; but she grew weaker
and weaker, and at last she died.
According to French custom she was
buried in an open basket, and, as it was
Winter and the soil was frozen, she was
laid into the grave, only covered with
thin layer of sand. During the night
she awoke, and, pushing the sand away
she crept out of this grave. Not exactly
understanding what had taken place, she
was not so very much frightened, but in
crossing the glacis between the cemetery
and the Notifications, she was startled
by the cutlery, "Qui vive," and, as she
did not answer, the sentinel fired, and
she fell to the ground. Brought into
the guard-house, her wound was found
to be very slight, and she soon recovered;
but her singular history and also her
great beauty had made so deep an i'm
preston on a young lieutenant Of the
garrison (Kramer) that he determined
to be her protector and sent her to one
of the most fashionable educational
establishments in Paris. During the
next few years Kramer was much tossed
about by the war, but when, in 1918, he
returned to Paris, he found Solange a
full grown woman, not only beautiful,
but accomplished and spirited, with no
more trace of intellectual weakness or
nervous tits. He married her, and for
several years the couple lived happily in
Paris
Meanwhile, Investigations were made
concerning the girl left in 1901 in the
Founding Hospital at Brest, and as
those investigations were made by the
Swedish Ambassador. and in a some
what official manner, they attracted some
attention. CAPT. Kramer heard abont
the affair, and sent note to the Am
bassador, and, month later on. the Am
hassador came in state to bring Nine.
Kramer a former acknowledgment from
her father, the formal Marshal Berna-
dot,e afterward King Charles XIV, of
Sweden. Captain Kramer and his wife
went immediately to Stockholm they
were ennobled, etc, and son has ust
been appointed attache to the Swedish
Legation in Paris.

Why not be Happy ?

Is it not the first and greatest of all
duties to be happy! 1t seems as if the
whole of life, from the cradle to the cot
fin, were one unbroken argument against
unhappiness Poor human nature has
inevitable troubles enough without being
burdened with optional ones; yet half
the cares and troubles are optional.
Small troubles are created and large
ones increased, by continual unhopeful
looking at the worst side. Some spend
as much vital energy over the loss Of
penny trinket as would be needed, APP
piled in the right direction to supply
the whole neig hborhood with similar
penny trinkets; but oceans of tears and
lamentations would not even buy the
raw material.
Children who grow up in domestic
atmosphere all hazy with chronic grumb-
lings, are certain to be, in their turn,
pessimists, entailing upon an already
over. burdened world generation after
generation of unhappy beings, who are
always crying for the moon, or protest
ing against the weather, or buying cot
fins in preparation for coming epidem-
ic. Nor would any but philanthropists
object, if these unhappy ones could
only be confined in moral insane
asylum; but their influence, like fire,
burns all that comes In their way.
If any good could come of grumbling
grumbling should never more be grumb-
led at; but whining or fault-tinding
never cured an i'll that could not better
have been changed by kind and honest
criticism. And when pessimists look
about for honest arguments, they find
not single proposition to rest on; not
even an axiom upon which to base the
statement of their first theorem.
What if the house is illy-ventilated,
and in every way bad-will growing
open the transoms, or expand the
rooms
What if students eyes are too weak
to use by night lght-wil weeping
through all the precious daylight cure
them, or hasten the process of Edison's
marvellous brain
Surprising this is the worst old world
il the univcrse-it is the best one we
know ANYTHING about, and all the down
boxing theology, or weeping philosophy
of hundred such depraved planets will
never make suns of it, or build a bal
& loon big enough and staunch enough to
carry us all off to some other happier
earth where all trout les are unknown.
Better accept the inevitable, and say,
a. Christians must, and all should, the
best will come" because whatever comes
will be the best
Who knows what atomic part each
must play i'll the great plan OF unfath-
ENABLE nature
Ii we are buried i'll the dark earth
chambers of woe, shall we lie motion
less, and weep ourselves blind to the
warm, tiny ray of light that calls down
t. us through the chirks Of soil to come
up to the sunshine above How much
better to wake from inactivity, thrust

with every fibre nerved for the struggle
