Buckets was a Zealand fisherman, and
his discovery was simply this: That
salt fish viii keep, and that fish that can
be kept, can be packed and exported.
Before his time herrings had TO be con-
sumed within few days of their cap
ture. Buckets salted them. 1t does not
sound like a great discovery. One
rather wonders that the system had not
been applied from the beginning. How
ever, in 1886 William Buckets salted the
first 100 of herrings, and, having salted
them, he packed them in barrels. This
exercise of common sense resulted in a
singular development Of the resources of
the country.
The English fisheries were not so
prominent 500 years ago as they are
now, and Holland had for a time al
most a monopoly of market which she
was able to create and supply. Buckets
had to wait 500 years to have his claim
to public gratitude recognized. Charles
". had statue erected to the herring
salter, who became the benefactor of his
country. Queen Mary of Hungary,
however, paid him even greater honor.
During her residence in Holland she dis
covered his tomb, and, seated upon it,
ate salted herring. Pail Mall Ga

To q person who has q moderately
well supplied pocketbook and thought
ful turn of mind, there can be no more
fruitful theme for meditation than to &c
into our large halls, theatres. churches,
and other places of public resort and,
securing seat in the gallery or in the
rear part of the room, look at the heads
of the audience, for no other purpose
than to ascertain by actual count how
many show signs of badness. Unless
the experimenter has been in the habit
of counting for this object, he win be
surprised to learn that, in most of the
eastern cities. fully 30 per cent. of the
men over 30 years of age show unmis-
taxable signs of badness, while nearly
20 per cent. have spots on their heads
that are not only bald, but actually pol-
ished with the gloss that is supposed to
belong to extreme old age alone.

churches and theatres in all the lalge

come Philadelphia, Washington and the
western towns. / say "men" for two
reasons: first, because women usually
wear their hats or bonnets on such oc-
casions, thus covering their crowns;
second, in case their hats are removed,
the hair is combed up so as to cover
any possible bald spot, or else there is an
artificial switch" to hide the defects of
nature. So, without indulging in any
speculations regarding what may be, |
will confine myself to what is to be seen.
Here are few observations taken in
Boston: Trinity church-243 men; II
actually bald, 36 indications of badness.
Kings chapel-86 men; 3S actually bald,
IA indications of badness. Hollis Street

The Great Colonizing Nations.

England and Holland are perhaps the
greatest colonizing nations of Europe.
England has seventy-two times as much
territory outside of the island as she has
in it, and Hollands colonial possessions
are equal to fifty times her own terri
tory. In both of these countries the
colonial empire is different in climate,
institutions, and language from the
mother countries. France has been
growing colonially very fast of late years
and its possessions in Africa are now
about twice its own size. 1t governs
about 100000 inhabitants there, and
controls some of the most important
trading points. In A sia it has her colo
nies about as large as France in their
aggregate territory, with population
less than half as large, and it has also
colonies in the Pacific islands. All told
its colonies own territory amounting to
766, 3S7 square miles or more than three
times its own size, which is about 204,-
600 square miles. The Frenchman, how
ever, is not the colonizer that the Eng
lishman and the Dutchman are. He
likes la belle France too well to leave
her. and though the country has this
great colonial empire, including the gov
ernment of $4,000, 900 people, it is fact
that in all this territory there are not
probably over 500, 900 bona fide French
men.-Frank G. Carpenter in Cleveland

A Cheap Statesman,

Governor J. b. Foraker, of Ohio, who is
very cheap statesman, has had windfall
to his declining and ell.founded
reputation in the reported attack from the
South upon his recent bitter remarks
against jeff Davis. II is alleged upon
what may turn out TO be poor authority
that it will be made unpleasant for Gov
ernor Foraker il he attends the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church South, to which he has been elected
a delegate. " Governor Foraker has re-
ceived large number of letters respecting
this matter,n and it gives him an oppor-
tunity TO come out in AN interview re.
peating what he said aud tell why he
said it,
1t is to be hoped nobody in the South
will open the Foraker tiood. gates most OF
all that nobody belonging to any church
with him will refuse him fellowship o,
either, hand on account of his political
sentiments or partisan expressions. Such
a chance is what Foraker most wants and
would most eagerly embrace.

some Population Thoughts.

Mr.. Richmond Mayo Smith, professor of
political economy and social science in Col
umbia college, New York, has been bring
ing his rare powers of analysis TO bear on
the population statistics of the country,
with interesting results. He finds that
river bottoms almost always show great
density of population, because of the rich
ness of the soil and commercial position.
In the maps showing the distribution of
population in the early history of the coun-
try, dense population was everywhere on
rivers--the Connecticut, the Hudson, the
Delaware, etc. As population moved west
ward it followed rivers, like the Mohawk,
because they were the natural highways,
and when it crossed the Alleghe nies it fol-
lowed the Ohio down to its junction with
the Mississippi and then up the latter river
for the same reason. At the present time
the densest population is found in the strip
extending along the Atlantic coast from
Massachusetts, to Delaware bay But, tax
ing the country as whole, the densest
population is found in zone stretching
across the continent between the parallel
3s deg. and 43 deg, nearly 80 per cent. liv.
ing in that zone.
AS to the preference for urban over rural
life, Mr.. Smith shows that the proportion
of urban to rural population is constantly
increasing that is, the cities are growing
at the expense of the country. In Eng
land and Wales, from 1871 to 1881, urban
population increased 1916 per cent: rural
population increased 7.3 per cent. In
France the urban population in 1916 was
2i.4 per cent. of the whole, and in 1876 it
was S5 per cent. of the whole. Germany
perhaps is the best exemplifcation of a
well developed agricultural and city life.
In the United States 26 per cent. of the
population is in towns of 4,00O inhabitants
and over
Comparing the United States with Ger.
many, the latter's city population is dis
tributed among large number of small
towns, while in the United States it is
concentrated in a small number of large
towns. For instance, Germany has lIe
towns of 10000 inhabitants and over, with
total population 7,30O,229 The United
States has 100 towns of 20 900 inhabitants
and over, with population of 9,Osi, ,262. We
concur in Mr.. Smiths view that this alb
normal increase of cities at the expense of
rural communities should not be encour-
aged.

Unreliable News.

A very good illustration of the tendency
ofnewspapers to misreport persons-and of
the readiness of the public to accept as
news what is mere gossip, often fabrica-
tion and frequently malicious misrepresen-
tation-is afforded by the denial from Min
listers Lowell and Phelps of the expressions
upon the Irish question ascribed to them
In wide publications made of the fact. 1t
was stated that Minister Lowell had said
in England that nobody here of the sixty
millions American population sympathized
with the cause of Irish home rule except
those OF Irish birth or close afliliation and
Minister Phelps was reported to have come
along and affirmed his predecessors state
ment.
Upon the publication both gentlemen
were soundly berated in the newspapers
and on the platform. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the late large and successful
Parnell meeting in the PHILADELPHIA
Academy of Music, Mr.. Charles Emory
smith, editor of the Press, and one of Mr.
Biaine's political friends, made these ev-
pressions the text of his eloquent speecb
and elected thunders of applause by his re.
buke of Mr.. Lowell and his demand for
The recall of Mr.. Phelps; his address was
extensively published and his utterances re-
garded as significant. Mr.. w. u. HenseI
who belongs to different party from Mr.
Smith, and to the one which is held re-
Hponsible for Mr.. Phelps appointment, fol-
lowed In the same strain and was as en-
phatic, if not as forcible, in his criticism
upon Mr. Phelps for his anti-Irsb. anti
American and anti-diplomatic expressions.
If the now reported denial and dis
claimer of MIR. Phelps is reliable; and
IL certainly is as well accredited as
the original statement and much
more credible, the criticism passed
upon him was ill-founded and a gross in.
