The Metropolitan Area.
saturday Review.l

The immense size of this area is denoted by
report of the board. The ratable value is
twenty-four millions and half sterling; the
money spent during year is two and half
millions. Baedeckers Handbook, OF which a
new edition, the third, is before us, enumer-
ates besides the nine Parliamentary boroughs,
each sending two members to the House of
Commons, no fewer than 60 distinct ''vilages
which have in course of time become constitu-
ent parts OF London" The area is occupied
by several thousand streets, (which, if laid
end to end, would form line 1900 miles
long" There are more than half million
different buildings and eleven hundred
churches. Within the police district the pop
ulation is fully four millions. "There are in
London more Scotchmen than in Edinburgh,
more Irish than in Dublin more Jews than in
Palestine. and moro Roman Catholics than in
Rome" Compared with the Metropolitan
Area, even New York and Paris, the two cities
of the world which come nearest to it, are so
far behind that both put together would only
equal it. The six towns of Great Britain
which come nearest to it are Glasgow, Liver
pool, Manchester with Stafford, Birmingham,
LeedS, ana One1neld, Dut tne populatlon OF all
put together does not equal that of the Metro
politan Area, even if the city of London be
taken out. In his speech at a recent dinner
given by Sir James Hogg, the Duke of Con-
naught mentioned that since it came into be-
ing the board had made 60 miles of sewers, be-
sides making or renewing 165 miles of smaller
drains. The immense cost of works in the
Area, the gigantic scale ON which everything
has to be done may be gathered from some OF
the figures given in the annual reports. The
Embankments cost three millions of money.
The Fire Brigade numbers more than 500 men
and there were more than 800 fires last year.
About quarter of million has been paid for
freeing bridges in the same time, and nearly
e40, 900 for property throughIwhich new streets
are to pass No fewer than 100 acts of Parlia-
ment referring to the work of the board have
been passed in the 26 years of its existence.
The main drainage system cost four and a half
millions, and Baedecker's Guide thus sums up
a few of the statistics: "There are annually
about 100000 quarters of wheat,
100000 oxen, 100000 sheep, 10000 calves,
250, 900 swine, 100000 head of poultry and
game, 40O,0OO,000 pounds of fish, 500,0O0,OO
oysters, 1,2000 900 Holsters, and 5000 900 salmon.
The butchers meat alone is valued at e50,OOO,-

Why He Wasn't Insured.
[Chicsgo Inter-Ocean,l

lChicago Inter-Ocean,l
He was an old man and said he'd seen better
times. hoped he had, but was unusually busy
and didn't want any life insurance If he would
excuse me-
'Oh, yes" said he; call right, young man;
I'll drop in again,"
The next day he did "drop in," and, sitting
on my desk, he began: Nothing in this world,
my young friend, will pay so big a per cent.
on the little money invested as a policy in the
Mutual Benefit Association, the most, and, in
fact, the only solid company on earth; capital
over seven million, and so prompt-why L
insured a man last week for $4,000 and the
same day he was run over by street car, SO
when sent in the policy and premium 1 just
said by way of P. S., Run over by horse
car not an hour after insured; better send on
check, as he can't live; both legs cut off, The
very next day I got a check payable to his
heirs for $10,560. Dividend, my friend, was
more than the premium, and don't you call
this prompt? That mans widow sgot this
check before he had been dead fifteen min
utes."
"But," said L. ~ have no wife, and don't
want any life insurance, tell you."
'The investment, my young friend-the in-
vestment. Look at the dividend. This man

You will have wife some day. Now, you do

do. Im an old man, have had large and va
ried experience, and know you are just ach-
ing for one of these policies, only you are so
extremely modest. Now I'll Just make out
your application; it costs you-let me see. How
old are you?"
"Twenty-six, but"
'Twenty y-six-hum. Father living.'
''No."
GLOW old was he when he died?"
"Twenty-seven years old"
"Twenty-seven, hey? What did he die Of?

"No, sir, consumption"
Consumption? You don't look consump-

"But am consumptive, and"
"Mother is living, doubt not?"
"No, sir, she died at 49,"
"What was the cause of her death?"
Insanity, sir, hereditary insanity; family's
full of it. All my brothers, thirteen of us in
all, sir, died between twenty-four and twenty
eight of the same disease, Dangerous, too,
some of them. My Oldest brother was taken
about this time one day and he killed his part

"You don't tell me. This is wonderful. You

The Presidents Condition. J.

1t is too early to pronounce the President
out of danger, but the increasing confidence
Of the physicians is most encouraging in
dication. Up to afew hours they have been
chary of words of hope, contenting them
selves with statements of the condition of
their patient, and making no predictions.
Now they permit themselves to indulge in
favorable anticipations, have discarded
their caution of expression, and do not hes
itate to say that the President is on the
mending hand. Dangers are yet to be en-
countered, but so many and so imminent
have been avoided that we are all justified in
entertaining lively hope and considerable
confidence. Considering the many evils es-
capped we may now say that the chances are
in favor of. the Presidents recovery. Ger
tainly many of the dangerous consequences
that usually follow a wound like his have
not appeared, and are now not likely to.

THERE is now not much doubt that the
wheat crop of 1881 will amount to 450, ,000,-
600 bushels, and may exceed these figures,
for the gain in the production of Spring
wheat is difficult to estimate, and this, tax
en- together with the fact that the yield of
Winter wheat will fall but little, if any, be-
low that Of last year, the estimate of 45O,-
100000 bushels, which was the yield in
1879, may be considerably below the actual
quantity, and the crop may yet be swelled
to the unusually large quantity of 4S0,0O0,-
600 bushels, which was the production in
1880

LOWELL Courier: The Springfield cler-
gymen have been discussing the question
whether it is the Christians duty to leave
the prayer-meeting for the caucus, when
they happen to occur simultaneously. These
reverend reformers are entirely behind the
age. The reform principle is: never to go
into caucus unless you are dead sure you
can control it. Any other kind Of caucus
is too wicked to be attended, even when
there is no prayer-meeting to go to. But if
you have got a dead open and shut on the
other fellows, it is the highest Christian du-
ty to see that that caucus is properly man
aged.

PHILADELPHIA Press: jeff Davis is very
near the truth when he says: "People want
news and information and want it in para
graphs. They will hardly stand much more
than paragraph of editorial, and rebel
against anything like an essay" Newspa-
per readers demand their news prepared for
them in attractive form, stripped of the
husks, so that it may be taken easily and
assimilated readily. 1t may be necessary
to give great deal on one subject, but the
longest article must be what is left after
the whole thing has been boiled down. The
journalist who knows his business boils
down as he writes. The day of the ponder
Gus leader is over in America; it is at its
meridian in England, where they print the
heaviest newspapers in the world. In the
best American newspaper offices the longest
editorial articles must have dash and spirit
and justify themselves in subject and treat
ment or the supervising pen slashes off their
pretentious length. The paragraph-the
torpedo, the whip-lash, the bowie-knife, the
scalpel of the press-already great favorite
is growing rapidly in the public estimation.
For shooting folly as it flies there is not the
equal of the paragraph. 81 don't so much
mind their big leaders, said General Grant
of the opposition press, ssbut I hate to be
cut up with those ugly little paragraphs

the extent of more than quarter of mil

1t is quoted as significant fact that the de-

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has just
decided in suit growing out of wheat
speculation that a contract for the sale and
delivery of grain or anything else at future
day is valid if the parties to it really intend
to deliver and receive the commodity, but
not if the purchaser is merely to receive or
pay the difference between the contract and
the market price. In other words legiti-
mate business transaction will be recog-
nized and guarded by the Courts; purely
speculative one will be treated as species
of gambling, which it really is.
