rush in with the warm air and swiftly

or course the moisture loosened and

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Constant and Rapid Growth OF the Peo-
pies UsIng It.

pies Using It.
In an article, The Future OF the
EngIish-Speaking races Mr.. Glad
stone computes that the habitual speak
ers Of English have increased from 15,-
0O0, 600 to los, 900, 900 during the last
one hundred years, that they will num-
Der I2o. 600, 900 by the year 1900. and at
the rate of increase. seven times in
century, they viii include $40, 600. 900
Of people by the year 1000.
The increase during the last century
has, OF course, been due chiefly to the
growth of the United States. Since
1887 our population has been multiplied
twenty times, while that of the British
kingdom itself has only little more
than doubled. We have increased
from about 5000, 600 TO more than CO.,
DOC. 900. and England. including all the
British isles, has increased from L.
DOC, 600 to IS, ,0Oo, 900. In other words,
while this country contained only one
fifth Of the total of English-speak-
ing people century ago. it now con-
.bains three-fifths.
The increase during the next century,
as computed by Mr.. Gladstone, must
also be in the United States in chief
part If the present rate of growth,
about per cent. annually, should con-
hnue, our population 100 years hence
would be 700, 900, 600, or nearly twice
the present population OF China Even
assuming the gradual fall of the ratio
Of increase to 2 per cent. a year, It
would be more than $50, ooo, 900, and by
the year 1000 out of the S40, 600, 600
English-speaking people Ia the world
more than three-fourths would be In
the United States.
Mr.. Barham Zincke, q well known
writer. astonished the world in 1888 by
estimating that in 100 years from that
lime the aggregate of the English-speak-
ing races would be 1.o0o, 900, 600. OF
hese he gave the United States S00,-

At 2 per cent. annuity, or doubling of
he population once In every twenty
I've years. That would be four-fifths Of
he whole, while England itself would
have only 10000, 900. or a very insig-
aifcant part of the English-speaking
population of the world. Another COM
putation, by continental writer, esti-
mates our population a century hence
1t 700, 900, 600, or ten times the number
hat can reasonably be estimated for the
British islands.
Whether the present rate of increase
n this country continues during the
aext century, or whether it falls from
70 per cent, or even lower, there is no
question that here is the great seat of
he English-speaking race, and that
England itself and all Its English colo
nies wiz steadily decline In relative i'm
portance, until they become so far In
erior in numbers and power as to be

ANTIQUITY or BAKING.

The origin Of baking precedes the
period of history and Is involved In the

making bread was practiced by our
prehistoric ancestors, ag early rs the

who are said to have baked cakes in
many fantastic shapes. using several

the art OF baking and public bakeries

In 1866 an act of Parliament was passed

SELECTING TURKEYS.
How to Pick Out Prime and Tender Bird,
for Roasting.

How to Pick Out Prime and Tender Birds
for Roasting.
Experienced marketers know that
prime food of all kinds looks well
while uncooked; this is specially the
case with poultry; it is carefully
plucked without defaeing the skin,
which looks soft and clean, and shows
layers of yellowish fat and light-col-
ored or whitish flesh beneath. When
poultry is dressed with the head and
feet on, il is easy to select the best;
the eyes viii be full and brighs. and
the skin and joints of the feet soft and
pliable; in stale and poor poultry the
feet are dry and stiff. the skin hard
and discolored in spots, the eyes dull
and sunkeu. and the flesh dark under
birds. When there is any greenish
diseoloration of either flesh or skin,
especially about the rump and vent,
the poultry is upon the point of spoil
ing. The odor of good birds is per-
fectly sweet and clean. If birds have
not been properly tasted previous to
killing. the undigested feVd in the
crop and intestines Is apt to impart
disagreeable smell to the entire bird,
especially in warm, damp weather;
they should be shut up without food
for at least a half day before killing,
but should have water to drink. When
they have not been tasted they may be
drawn as sc4n as they are killed and
plucked, but there is an objection to
this method, especially in summer; the
action of the atmosphere upon the cut
surfaces, which are exposed by the
withdrawal of the entrails, favors
rapid decomposition, and consequently
the poultry will not keep in good con-
dition as long as it would If no air
could penetrate to the interior; there
fore, if poultry has been drawn. and
gives forth the least unpleasant odor,
il should not be used. Reject that
which has a thick skin and long hairs.
because il will be too tough for roast
ing; a male bird which is plump and
and full-breasted, with yellowish fat
and white flesh showing under the
thin skin. and smooth feet and legs,
will be excellent, either roasted or
baked. Hen turkeys are smaller anG
shorter. of less fine flavor, and better
suited for boiling or boning. Young
turkeys are tender and delicate. but oi
less intense flavor than full-growr
