The Brighter Side.

But there is another side to the story.
Steam is rendering available all the ara
bic land of the globe. We have millions
of acres in our own country unappro-
priated, and South America could main
tain twenty times spresent population.
Central and Southern Africa, the most
fertile parts of the continent, are capa-
BILE of yielding prodigious crops for hui
man sustenance. Wise land laws would
add greatly to the productive capacity
of the soil of civilized countries. We're
Ireland, for instance, to have the same
land system as the Isle of Guernsey, it
is estimated. that it could support pop
ulation of forty millions of people in
comfort, while under the wasteful sys-
tenn which obtains to-day less than five
millions of inhabitants suffer all the hor-
rors of periodical famine. Then inven-
ton is yet to do great deal which will
add to the productiveness of the soil. In
our own country we can hardly expect
that the increase of population will be SO
great in the future as in the past. Be-
sides, after the west is filled up, there is
an abundance of farm land in the south.
Some day we will annex the Dominion,
which contains more square miles of
soil than the United States. 1t is esti-
mated that the unappropriated wheat
lands of Manitoba and the Hudson Bay
region, would, if properly worked, feed
the entire population of the globe. But
in spite of all these considerations the
stubborn fact remains that there is even
now great deal of suffering among the
working class, due to the hard struggle
for life. Millions of human beings in
civilized countries are homeless, and
other millions are looking eagerly for
work they cannot find. The problem of
poverty is a terrible one, and some time
or other the nations, in their collective
capacity, must inquire into its causes
and try remedies for solving it.--Frona

Onst of the Channel Tunnel.


The probable cost Of Channel tUn-
mel has always been q very obscure
question, and Sir Edward Watkin has
hitherto been very silent about it, Yes
terday he felt himself in q position to
give some figures on this particularly
important point. He is making tun-
mel, somewhere or other, through one of
the hardest stratiiied rocks he knew.
This cost f38 yard, and that means
roughly f65, 200 mile. The channel
tunnel would be about twenty-four
miles. Instead of taking the cost at
G65,000 a mile, let them assume that ii
would be 100000 a mile, and that
would represent cost of f2. 400, 900 for
the tunnel under the sea. That is his
estimate of the cost of the actual tun-
mel. Next, he believed the estimate of
ESQ., 600 for the tunnel to connect the
Chatham and Dover and the Southeast
ern railways would not be exceeded.
The entire cost of the work. therefore,
came to only f3,00O,O00. With an or
iginal outlay Of this modest kind Sir
Edward was no doubt justified in de-
scribing the project as likely to be one
Of the most profitable ever undertaken
If protitableness were the only thing
to be considered. But then, in this
modest estimate nothing is included for
the cost of Notifications at the English
end of the tunnel, every penny of which
should fall upon those who have made
them necessary. Pail Mall Gazette.

Prevention Of Olinksr, in Stoves.

A correspondence of q Canadian journal
writes: Once in while see in the pap
ers directions for removing clinkers
from the Innings Of stoves and furnaces.
Prevention being better than cure, l
purpose to show how they can be pre-
vented. Three years ago put a new
lining in q No. s heater, and no one
would imagine, from examining il to-
day, that il had been used more than
n week. With a piece of iron about
half an inch wide, bent TO reach the
whole lining, scrape the surface of the
lining shake down lightly, and then put
on coal. Kindlings will be required If
the fire has been left to get too low, but
1t is better to do this earlier, as it keeps
a steadier fire, and takes no more coal.
think can explain it on correct prin-
ciples. When the fire is the hottest
there are no ashes but rs the heat has de-
creased the ashes have formed and set
tied down against the lining, and shak-
ing does not wholly remove them. II
more coal is added the heat is sufficient
to fuse the ashes on TO the lining, and
there they stay. Each time this is re-
peated more ashes adhere, and it does
not take long to spoil lining. Iscrape
these ashes off thoroughly the first thing,
and none adhere, and it seems the lining
will never wear out. There is another
thing to be noticed. If one stirs coal
fire at the top, in the center, the fire
generally goes out, because the cold air
goes up through the center; but by
scraping around the outside of the fire,
and leaving the center undisturbed, the
air going up aronOd the fire slightly
cools off the lining, and the coal in the
center retains its heat sufficient to burn
up again quickly without kindling, if
the replenishing has not been too long
delayed. The CRATE must be let down
often enough to prevent the accumula-
tion of clinkers in the bottom. Once or
twice week l let down my CRATE,
replace it, and put in some wood,
then some of the live Goals on the top,
when it burns up Immediately. l then
put on hodful of coal and close the
stove, and have fire at once without
the heat having gone down, and so keep
a good fire all winter. This can be de-
pended on that scfaping the ashes
from the lining before replenishing q
fre-every time-will effectually pre-
vent clinkers from adhering.

The roreign Elarnent.

The composite nature of the Ameri-
can population is shown in various WAYS
by the tables Of the census Of 1880,
which, in this department, may be re-
garded as reasonably correct, however
many faults there may be in other de-
partments. The figures concerning the
great cities Of especial significance, be-
cause each Of them is a center Of politi-
cal power, and their population is con-
tinually growing by the influx of for
eigners seeking political advancement,
and of natives from the rural districts
who seek more active spheres for their
ventures in legitimate business, in spec
ulstion, and also in politics. Looking
through the census tables, we find that
Philadelphia has larger proportion Of
native inhabitants than any of the large
cities, except some of those in the South
ern States like Baltimore, New Orleans
and Louisville.
In New York the foreign inhabitants
are about 40 per cent, in Brooklyn
about 80, in Boston about 81, in Chicago
about 40 (or the same as New York;, in
Buffalo and Jersey city about so, in
Cleveland and Newark nearly 40, in
Cincinnati about 80; while in Philadel-
phia they are only about 20 per cent. Of
the whole population. On the basis of
these facts it may rightly be claimed
that Philadelphia is more distinctly
American than any of the cities named.
Comparison with New York exhibits
the composition of the two cities in
more detail, and we give this condensed
table showing the countries of which the
respective inhabitants of the two cities
were natives at the time of the census Of
1890 WAS taken.

Negro Religious Songs,

There was 81 religious meeting last
night, and took advantage of the op-
portunitv to attend. There were old
Uncle 81, Aunt Charity, fat old Aunt
Mary Magdalene, who was musical di-
rector; Felix, Junior, Patience, Angy,
Aunt Thisby, Virgil and two Homers,
Julius, Judge and Cleopatra, besides
many whose names ] could not obtain.
The first tune was:
De long, tall angel change you name,
Archiangel change you name;
My name are change on dc Joshua road,
Archiangel change you name
You sings it too fast, impatiently
interrupts old AUNT Mary Magdalenc,"
"jest dro,e it out
When de doctors gimmee up, gimme up,
OATS all can do, gimme Jesus.
When my mudder gimme up, gimme up,
OATS all want, gimme Jesus.
There were several verses to this tune,
all the singers relatives-father, moth
er, sister, brother, aunts, cousins, uncles
--aDd, finally, tho epreacher andthe eld-
er, being mentioned as having ''given
up," after which one of the Virgils felt
inspired to address the meeting.
After this effort, "Aunt Mary Magda-
lene" started, in very high key, the
hymn:
When was sinner this world was heaven to
me;
But now I've got on the Methodist side,
Glory hallelujah2
An everybody's talking bout me.
"This am mighty strainin' hymn"
exclaimed the old woman, at the con-
clusion Of the first verse. "'Angy,'
you raise the chunc while loosen my
dress"
"Angy" started out briskly with:
If you ever wants t sec Johnny wesselly any
mo-
Git on board, chun
If you ever 'spects t see Johnny's mudder any
mo-,
Git on board, chilun!
As in the first hymn, all "Johnny's"
relatives were enumerated, after which
old Uncle Si'' spoke. He referred to
many things of local interest, but final
ly he hit upon Colonel Ingersoll. who
ranks on par with his Santanic Majesty
among the Alabama negroes. --Corre-

A Man Tries Tieht Lacing,

Mr.. Richard A. Proctor, the we'll

tried the experiment of wearing cor
set, and thus describes the result:
"When the subject of corset wearing
was under discussion in the pages of
The Emglish Mechanic, was struck"
he says, "with the apparent weight of
evidence in favor of tight lacing. | was
in particular struck by the evidence of
some as to its use in reducing corpu-
lcnce. | was corpulent. l also was
disposed, as am still, to take an inter-
est in scientific experiment. l thought
I would give this matter a fair trial. I
read all the instructions, carefully fol-
lowed them, and varied the time Of ap-
plying pressure with that perfectly stiff
busk' about which correspondents were
SO enthusiastic. Twas foolish enough
to try the thing for matter of four
weeks. Then laughed at myself as a
helpless idiot, and determined to give
up the attempt to reduce by artificial
means that superabundance of fat on
which only starvation and much eAeT-
else, or the air of America, has ever had
any real reducing influence. But l was
reckoning without my host As the Chi
nese lady suffers, am told, when her
feet buildings are taken of, and as the

it with me. ! found myself manifestly
better in stays. ] laughed at myself
no longer. Twas too angry with myself
to laugh. would as soon have con-
demned myself to using crutches all the

three months of discomfort. At the end
