In still another branch have tue Ter
mans succeeded. American teachers
know to their sorrow the difficulty en-
countered i'll educating scholars to he
easy writers-that Ii, to write what is
generalIy..known with Ms as essays or
compositions. The fault lies just
where it does in all our other higher
studies-it is not begun early enough.
We wait until we think that their minds
are trife mature and then come upon
them with wild rush OF rhetoric, his-
tory and all the frightful curriculum.
German girls begin to write essays
when they are 8 years and continue to
do it, not once month or twice quar-
ter, but every week of the school year,
until they are 16 or Is years of age.
For the first year it takes the form mere
ly of dictation with an occasional es-
say. Twelve German poems are learned
during the year and may be used as ma
terial for compositions in prose. Enter
ing the class above TINS I found meth
cd in progress certainly very strange &c
the most American schools. The
teacher was a gentleman the girls were
10 years old on an average. Standing
out before the class, he began to tel
them the fable of the woman whose her
laid for her daily n golden egg-a stor!
told so simply, every word of it weighed
20 carefully, every idea expressed witt
the acme of .ision-and all IN vote
so low and distinct that the class sa
hushed while he spoke. He then began
it again, patlsing this time at the end o
every sentence to talk it over with the
school, asking what nouns, what verbs
what adiectiyes they had noticed while
he talked. In this manner lie carried
them through the fable to the end
Then he went back and told it connect
edly all over again. Finally he GALE
upon one little girl to repeat what sh
could of it. Where she failed other
came in to help her. Then another gin
took up the story and told it better, III
til, after many times told, the fable la
entered all their little minds and becom
a fixed mental possession, and when tn
master asked, "Now, do you know
quite well 2" "Doch p "Doch !
ala, ia! gewiss p went up in shou
from all parts of the room.

Touching Words.

Respecting the removal of the Ute
Indians, occurring some time ago, the
Sotid Nnldoon, published on the from
tier, says:
Nov, laying aside all animosity, we
ask. is there to-day, upon the frontier, =
human heart that does not throb with
sympathy for those untutored beings ?
Take the lesson home to yourself. Think
Of your being forced from scenes and
possessions that are rendered near and
dear by childhood's happy recollections.
Think Of having to leave forever those
dear ones who are laid away to await the
resurrection morn, and leaving them,
with knowledge that ere your foot.
prints have been obliterated by the
dews of heaven, the pillow of the pale
face will have leveled the little mounds
and completed the work of desolation.

The last English census shows tina
London has been gaining rapidly il
population during the last ten wears
1t now contains 3,014,J7 inhabitant,.
or $50, 81 more than 1871. It's in
crease was only a little over II per
cent, and yet so vast was It's popula.
ton III 1871 that, during the ten years
it has added more to that total in acttia
numbers more people than our thriv-
ing city of Chicago now contains, and
nearly as many as are included in
Brooklyn, the third city of the Union in
size.
During the period from 1870 to 1880,
New York increased % PEI cent but it
gained only 2G4, 2S5 inhabitants not half
so many as were added to London be-
tween 1871 and 1881 and its population
last year was considered less than
third of that of the English capital. If
our propoTtionate increase continues to
be so much larger than that of London,
OF course we will in due time catch up
with the older city, and put it in the
second place as to size but that day is
still far off, and as New York grows
more populous it may show smaller
rate of increase. The remarkable thing
about London is that a city of such I'M
paralleled magnitude, in the midst of an
old civilization, has been growing at
rate which, if continued, will give it
double its present population less than
century hence. Since 1861 it has
gained over 50 per cent. If it keeps on
increasing in that proportion, by the
end of the first quarter of the twentieth
century it will contain about 7,000,0 900
of people.
But such estimates of what will hap
pen III the future have only a curious
interest. Many causes may contribute
to make the growth of London much
less proportionately during the next fifty
years than it has been during the TWEEN
ty just passed. 1t is an impressive fact,
however, that so vast a capital, already
far ahead of any other city in the world
in population, should have increased
one-third IN twenty years, and that it
should be now three times as large as it
was sixty years ago.
The population of London was 1,37S,-
600 in 1921. 1t has, therefore, gained
nearly $500, 600 inhabitants since then.
The population of New York was 123,
7O6 in 1910, and in 1880 it was nearly
ten times that. During the twenty
years from 1860 to 1880 it gained about
one-half, against the increase of one
third in London between 1861 and 1881.
It is safe to estimate that at the begin
ming Of the next century We shall have
made another gain that would give us
100000. Even then, therefore, New
York would contain less than half the
present population of London and, il
that city added a third during the TWEEN
ty years, it would still contain nearly
three times as many people as New
York.-NeaO York San.

CRIMES.

Cranes of one or more species are
found everywhere, with the exception Of
South America, the Malayan and Papuan
archipelagoes and the scattered islands
of the Pacific. The common European
species, celebrated in all times for it's
migrations-
So steers the prudent crane
Her annual voyage borne on the winds; the air
Floats they pass, famed With unnunbsrsd
plumes-
was at one time very numerous in the
fenny districts of England so possibly
Milton knew the bird. The name is
quite wrongly applied to the heron in
Scotland and Ireland, while in America
and Australia the white egret herons are
also called cranes. Old Esop's fable of
the stork being captured in the evil
companionship of the cranes, and being
condemned to death for thus even assoc
ciating with notorious plunderers OF
two kinds of birds far better, indeed,
as Blyth truly says, than did that re-
nowned master of medieval painters,
who commits the curious geological mis-
take of introducing cranes instead OF
storks in his world-known cartoon of the
Miraculous Draught of Fishes" In
common with many other gregarious
birds, cranes always place sentinels as a
lookout, while the rest of the flock will
trustfully repose, and they likewise
leave them on the watch while on their
marauding expeditions tocrops OF grain.
